Volume 3 If Love Is Known, Chapter 7 He Meets Again and Congratulates Each Other with a Sword
As early as when Qingdi Township sent An Qing away, Zhao Wu'an and Hu Buxi had already decided to suspend in Luzhou, and after inquiring about the news, they re-entered Bianliang City. After all, Bianliang is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the situation is complicated, and the forces of all parties are surging. If you want to enter Bianliang, your eyes are black, but you can't do it.
In the half day spent in Luzhou, I never heard about Dongfang Lianmo or Xie Hui, but Duan Hunttian and the Nie family had ups and downs. However, this also means that Bianliang City, which is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, should be in a relatively peaceful time. Otherwise, with the distance between the two places, if there is any major event, it should have been transmitted to Luzhou City a long time ago.
Although the matter of rehabilitating Jialan An Xulie has been delayed for 20 years, and he doesn't care about these few days, Zhao Wu'an knows An Qing's anxious temperament very well, and Hugh said that it will be a few days, but he is afraid that he will not be able to wait for half a day when he hears that Zhao Wu'an has gone to Bianliang.
Therefore, as soon as half a day passed, after settling the account from the teahouse, the two of them went out of the city from the north gate and went straight to Bianliang, which was 600 miles away.
Coincidentally, at the gate of Luzhou City, Hu Buxi and Zhao Wu'an met a pair of masters and servants who were showing off their might in the Fangcai Teahouse.
After three or four zhang away, Zhao Wu'an saw the two of them standing at the base of the wall with the notice board one after the other, and the boy and brother were still shaking the folding fan in his hand unhurriedly, directing the elderly maid to put the crumpled notice back on the wall.
As early as in the teahouse, Hu Buxi and Zhao Wu'an had already guessed that he was a subordinate of the Nie family. The more the news of Duan Hunttian's massacre of the people of Duxiu Village can be known to the world, the higher the Nie family's praise for him must be, so even if he has already been in the limelight in the teahouse, he will re-post this notice and tell the world that he will not relentlessly.
Zhao Wu'an has always been too lazy to pay attention to this kind of lackey under others, so he passed by him silently, and Hu Buxi also followed behind Zhao Wu'an without saying a word.
Unexpectedly, when the white-clothed man with gold thread saw the backs of the two, he hurriedly closed the folding fan and said loudly: "The two knights stay!"
What a tacit understanding Hu Buxi and Zhao Wu'an are, what they want to do with each other, they know it clearly in their hearts, and they don't even need to look at each other. At that moment, the two of them walked forward without stopping, as if they were deaf at the same time.
The white-clothed man smiled bitterly and said: "Zhao Jushi and Hu Zhutou are both good martial arts, why do you have to worry about me as a small person? ”
He easily named the surnames of the two, and even revealed their identities together. And before that, he had only heard Hu Buxi say a word at most.
If it was just a meeting in the rivers and lakes, Hugh said that this person was his top boss Nie Junhuai, and he couldn't know the identities of Zhao Wu'an and Hu Buxi at a glance.
Zhao Wu'an and Hu Buxi stopped at the same time. This time, the two looked at each other suspiciously.
The man in white can catch up with the two. He walked around to the two of them, and bowed respectfully as soon as he came up.
"In Xia Jiang Lian, this is the domestic servant Zhu Yi, Yi is the Yi of Yishui, just call her Yi Niang. Our master and servant live in this Luzhou city, and they know all the news. ”
Then he straightened up, hugged his fist at Zhao Wu'an, and said with a wry smile: "I guess the two of you can also guess that they are still under the orders of the leader of the Northern Martial Arts, the Taiyuan Nie family, which is a dark chess move they planted here." ”
Zhao Wu'an and Hu Buxi glanced at each other, and Hu Buxi hugged his arms to his chest: "You are honest." ”
"It's not okay to be honest with the two of you, right?" Jiang Lian said with a wry smile, "I actually collect some information here for the Nie family, one piece of information for one reward, and occasionally do these things for them, which is really helpless." ”
"So, huh?" Hu Buxi held the knife in his hand and turned it upside down, and his face trembled.
Jiang Lian swallowed his saliva, and looked deeply at Hu Buxi: "I dare to take the liberty to talk to the two of you because someone asked me to do this." He said that if he saw a knight in white clothes in Luzhou City, it must be Zhao Jushi. And the bearded man next to him was ...... If you are slightly chubby, you must be Hu Zhutou. ”
"No, why do I always think that you are targeting my boss Hu?" Hu Buxi was puzzled, "Boss, if you stay away, I will kill him with a knife." ”
Seeing Jiang Lian sweating like rain all of a sudden, Zhao Wuan smiled helplessly: "He's joking." Who told you to wait for us?"
Jiang Lian wiped the sweat from his forehead in shock, lowered his head, and said tremblingly: "It is the current chief catcher of Liangzhejiang Road, Su Qinghe, the head catcher." He recently went to Beijing to report on his work, and he was not far from Bianliang, and he ordered me to take you over to meet him. ”
Zhao Wu'an was stunned: "Su Qinghe, is he waiting for me?"
As a former dynasty scholar, Su Qinghe and Zhao Wu'an only had a brief encounter in Qingdi Township. Although Su Qinghe looked at him very unpleasantly in the process of solving the case, in the end, he finally worked together to let the real murderer be punished. Zhao Wu'an also felt that although this kid was a lot worse than his grandfather's Taohui City Mansion, he was still much stronger than Li Huanglai. Although there was ice between him and Su Qinghe, it should have turned into eight or nine ten, and the last fate had to be made up by the magpie stepping on the branch.
But even so, he couldn't imagine that Su Qinghe had any reason to wait for him in front, and how could he expect him to pass through Luzhou City.
Zhao Wu'an walked the rivers and lakes, although he never deliberately changed his dress, he always looked like a white clothes and a box, that is a master of art and bold, Su Qinghe should not have such a nuanced speculation about him, it is expected that Zhao Wu'an is still dressed like this to this day.
After thinking about it, I always felt that this was a trap and more of an invitation.
Jiang Lian saw Zhao Wu'an hesitating, and hurriedly said, "I can prove it!"
Before Zhao Wu'an could ask, he waved his hand and called Yi Niang: "Yi Niang, give me that seal!"
Zhu Yi, who was dutifully guarding the billboard, came to Jiang Lian's side when he heard the sound, took a bag from his waist, and handed it to Jiang Lian with both hands.
Jiang Lian took the bag, loosened the pocket, and presented it to Zhao Wu'an: "This is the official seal of Su Zhutou, Hu Zhutou should be able to distinguish the real from the fake." In addition, there is his handwriting. ”
Hu Buxi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This kid was a fool half a year ago, but now he has become a head catcher, and I have to help him identify the seals. ”
Although he said so, Hu Buxi still took Jiang Lian's bag in front of Zhao Wuan, closed one eye, and peeked in with the other.
Zhao Wu'an raised his eyebrows, a little surprised: "Looking at your steps, your martial arts are not lower than your maids." Why do you dare to put such an important thing next to your servant?"
Jiang Lian smiled and said, "Soldiers are not tired of cheating." Anyone with some eyesight can see that I am a good martial artist, what is naturally kept with me, how can I pay attention to a maid who seems to have no martial arts and is not outstanding in appearance?"
When he spoke, Zhu Yi always lowered his eyebrows and waited behind him, without saying a word.
Hu Buxi sneered and said: "Don't talk about anything else, just your three-legged cat kung fu, what kind of soldiers are not tired of cheating? Besides, I think your maid is not as weak as you say." ”
In the teahouse, being able to lift an adult man by the collar effortlessly is a staggering arm strength for Zhao Wuan. He also echoed lightly: "Yi Niang is beautiful and wise, and she can have both amazing strength, which is really unexpected. ”
was damaged by the ruthless two people, Jiang Lian was not annoyed, but raised his eyebrows and said, "Two, have you checked this thing clearly?"
Hu Buxi threw the bag on Jiang Lian's chest, "The thing is real." Boss, what should I do?"
"Let's go. Zhao Wu'an had a gentle temperament, his movements were not slow, and as soon as he finished speaking, he walked forward with a breeze under his feet.
"It's rare for Lao Su to wait for me, and I can't miss the appointment. You know, their Su family, but they hate being released the most by people. ”
His tone was calm and indifferent, and there was no trace of annoyance at all, but the meaning was clearly sharp.
In that year, Su Changdi was defeated and retreated from the Gaoliang River, but the reinforcements led by Xie Hui fought with the enemy outside Flying Fox City due to a map error, and finally made it impossible to conquer the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
On that day, Li Huanglai's biological father Li Jing vomited blood three liters outside the pass and died, Su Changdi led the army to retreat for ten miles, and finally fell ill and was forced to retreat from the front line.
Since then, until it was put into the ground, Su Changdi has not seen the light for 20 years.
Although Zhao Wu'an now knows that Xie Hui is no longer what he used to be, when he was young, he listened to Aunt Lin tell the story of the year, and he was very indignant about Su Changdi's cutting of robes. If there were no Xie Hui, Li Jing, Yan Daohuo and others fighting to the death, it would be impossible for Su Changdi to return to Guannei safely with the main force of the Song army and the first emperor who drove the expedition, where did the reason come from to be angry for twenty years?
said that it was unreasonable, but Zhao Wu'an actually knew in his heart how angry Su Changdi was at that time. The city he had dedicated his life to was close in front of him, and neither he nor the emperor above the jade ride had ever been so close to his dream, but because of a map, a person's mistake, and a dream.
Time has changed, and now why Su Qinghe is waiting for him, Zhao Wuan has no time to speculate, and would rather wait for his explanation.
He and Hu Buxi are used to walking, and it is not a big deal to walk for 600 miles since then, but it has suffered Jiang Lian, the son of the family.
Seeing that the two of them were not easy to mess with, Jiang Lian patiently accompanied the two of them for a long time, but found that the two of them had no intention of stopping after walking for several hours, so they had no choice but to send Zhu Yi to rent a fast horse and go back to drive. This time, it was another hour and a half, but Hu Buxi and Zhao Wu'an walked smoothly
By the time Jiang Lian, who was tired and half dead, finally got into the carriage driven by Yi Niang and didn't have to rush in person, it was already in the twilight of Xishan, and several people also arrived at the inn where Su Qinghe and Zhao Wu'an were waiting for Su Qinghe according to Jiang Lian.
The evening breeze is cool, and the afterglow is on the building. The sparse flow of people on the desolate avenue slowly marched separately. Occasional pedestrians are also like them, leading the thin donkey to the roadside inn, or beating the tip or staying in the hotel, floating in a variety of situations.
The inn on the side of the road looked to be quite old, and the wooden planks by the window whispered hoarsely in the wind. The building is four storeys high, and there is also a small courtyard behind it, surrounded by a yellow wall. It was dusk, and there was a faint sound of clothes chopping vegetables in the courtyard.
Zhao Wu'an gently tightened the thin shirt on his body and sighed: "This year's summer is really late. ”
"It's because in front of this imperial capital, it is inevitable that there will be a strong wind full of sleeves. In front of the inn, the man in Tsing Yi, leaning on the ancient tree, was holding a long sword, his eyebrows were slender and cold.
It's not that Zhao Wu'an didn't imagine the scene of the reunion between the two, but he didn't expect that when they met again, the two sides would be so tacit. As if the two had been close friends for many years, Su Qinghe picked up his words without any hindrance.
Zhao Wu'an smiled: "It seems that you still remember what I said to you." ”
"Toothless and unforgettable. ”
Su Qinghe stood up straight, stretched his arms, and then his eyebrows and eyes suddenly sank, and he raised his hand.
Out of the sheath.
"By the way, Qinghe still wants to learn again, Zhao Jushi's means. ”
Su Qinghe's clothes moved with the sword, killing Zhao Wu'an, and the sword shadow was overwhelming, like a strong wind full of sleeves.
His shot is a stunt to press the bottom of the box, without reservation, but also without murderous intent, simply and purely competing against the high.
Zhao Wu'an narrowed his eyes, shook his head and said, "But your kung fu is still so bad." ”
He didn't call the sword out of the box, but shook his hand slightly behind him, and the magpie tread branch was already clenched in his hand.
"The independent bridge is full of wind. ”
