Chapter 135: Qingmo Villa

It was not early, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected the entire dark shadow of the rolling ravines, and the rendered dusk reflected the rugged land into a dark yellow. The sparse clouds fall flat rolls, the blackbirds that return to the song enter the flock, "in the old days, you look at the mountain roads, and you don't see the old people idle for a hundred miles", and the dusk scenery of the mountains on the outskirts of the capital can always give people a deep sense of nostalgia......

From the ravine of the narrow mountain range, a young man in black slowly walked out with pride. This young man wears a red scarf on his head, has a handsome face, and two silver moon scimitars on his waist show his chivalrous style. This person is Sun Yun, the young master of the Lai Dart Bureau, who was preparing to go back to the Dadu Lai Dart Bureau along the way down the mountain after talking with Hua Ye Han in Mingjian Villa and practicing martial arts.

Along the way, Sun Yun's heart was not calm for a moment, and all he recalled was the words that Hanhua Hanhua's predecessors taught him when he was in the hall today:

"In fact, in the final analysis, Young Master Sun and the contemptible people are all for the people of the Central Plains. It's just that in the choice of truth, Sun Shaozhu chose to resist, and the contemptible chose forbearance, in principle, we actually complement each other, there is no right or wrong at all......"

"In fact, Young Master Sun is a heroic young man who has a heart for the common people, which is what the people of our Mingjian Villa and even the people of the Central Plains are looking at these days. For you, Young Master Sun, it is not necessarily wrong to choose to resist, since the King of Chatai has banned the rest of the Chatai Palace, etc., to cause trouble for you to come to the Dart Bureau, Young Master Sun, you can take advantage of this advantage and let more people see your righteous deeds, isn't it......"

"As the owner of Mingjian Villa, I take care of the overall situation. Naturally, he chose forbearance. And for you, Young Master Sun, you can have another choice......"

Sentences stirred in Sun Yun's heart, so that Sun Yun couldn't calm down for a moment. He just lowered his head slightly. Walking slowly down the mountain, thinking that he would be back in the city before the sun went down, he tried to soothe himself as much as he could......

As he was walking downhill, Sun Yun suddenly smelled the smell of burning grass and trees. "Why does it smell of burning, is there a fire somewhere?" Sun Yun lowered his head and muttered, suddenly looking up, only to see the foot of the mountain not far from him. There was a faint smoke of fire in one place.

Sun Yun frowned, then quickened his pace and ran towards the smoke at the foot of the mountain, wanting to see what was going on. However, as soon as I arrived at the intersection. Sun Yun's expression changed, with both unexpected surprise and calmness that he had already thought of......

The reason why there is smoke at the foot of the mountain is because someone is burning incense in front of the grave. And the reason why Sun Yun felt both surprised and slightly calm. Because the person who burned incense in front of the grave at the foot of the mountain was He Zibu.

He Zibu was kneeling in front of the two tombs at this time, and Ren Guang, Lin Jing and Shi Changsong were standing behind him. The name written on the tombstone is none other than He Zibu's former brother who died tragically at the hands of the Mongols, Ke Ke and Fei Nenghong.

"Abu......" Sun Yun unexpectedly saw He Zibu and muttered softly.

Sun Yun's appearance naturally attracted the attention of Ren Guang and others. "Young master......" Ren Guang saw Sun Yun coming down the mountain, so he also greeted first.

He Zibu naturally noticed Sun Yun's arrival, but his eyes were always on the tombstone in front of him. Sun Yun slowly walked to He Zibu's side. turned around and looked at Fang Kehe and Fei Nenghong's tombstones, and there was more sadness in his eyes. Of course, Sun Yun knew the grief in He Zibu's heart at this time. The brothers who grew up together since childhood, but now they are witnessing the tragic death at the hands of others, and whoever it is, everyone's heart is extremely uncomfortable. What's more, He Zibu has no parents since he was a child, and the most cruel thing is that one of the murderers of his brother turned out to be another former friend of his, which made He Zibu even more heartbroken.

After He Zibu finished his salute in front of the grave, he then said to the tombstone in front of his brother's grave: "We used to grow up together as brothers and partners, but now the two of you are leaving my brother and me first...... The Chatai Royal Mansion exterminated humanity and indiscriminately killed innocent Han people in the Central Plains, and the two of you, Ah Ke Ahong, were not spared. and Ouyang Cong, who became Meng Yuan's lackey and killed the two of you...... Don't worry, I, He Zibu, swear to the sky that one day I, He Zibu, will definitely carry Ouyang Cong's head and come to worship your two brothers!"

After saying a generous paragraph, He Zibu spilled the two bowls of wine in front of the grave in front of the two graves, and then drank the bowl of wine in front of him. After the incident, He Zibu slowly stood up, but his eyes were still on his brother's grave and refused to leave for a long time.

Seeing He Zibu's sad face, Sun Yun slowly walked behind He Zibu, and then patted He Zibu lightly on the shoulder.

He Zibu kept looking at the tombstone in front of the grave...... Suddenly, He Zibu's eyes gradually moistened-He Zibu, who used to have tears without flicking, now couldn't hold back his tears.

"Let's go back...... Sun Yun's eyes gradually slowed down, and he said to He Zibu in a comforting tone between brothers, "If it's over, let it pass......

"Woo......" He Zibu gritted his teeth and let out a slight crying sob, and then two tear stains slowly seeped down the cheeks of this big man.

Ren Guang and the others saw He Zibu looking so sad and sad in the back, and their hearts were also very uncomfortable. Sun Yun patted He Zibu on the back again, Zuihou turned He Zibu around, and the group left the tombstone and returned home together......

The sunset reflects the figure of everyone returning home, and the afterglow can retain the figure of the vicissitudes of life, but it can't keep the sadness of life and death......

Inside the dart game......

"Chief darthead, the imperial court has issued us a document to the Dart Bureau-" At the main entrance of the hall of the Dart Bureau, a servant suddenly reported to Sun Shangrongyu, the head of the dart bureau who was still busy handling the affairs of the dart bureau in the hall.

When Sun Shangrong heard this, he wondered in his heart: "Oh, the imperial court would give us a document for the Lai Yun Dart Bureau, who has not been established in the capital for a few days, this is really rare...... But since it was issued by the imperial court, maybe it's really something very important......"

Thinking of this, Sun Shangrong ordered a financial steward beside him: "Aze, go and help me hand over that paperwork." ”

"Yes. The treasurer named "Aze" agreed, and then walked to the door of the hall and took the court documents from the servant's hand. Then he walked back to Sun Shangrong and handed over the paperwork.

After the servant retreated, Sun Shangrong studied the contents of the document for a while, then his eyes wrinkled, and then slowly closed the paperwork. Then Sun Shangrong leaned back in his chair and sighed, and then said softly: "In the past few days, the Dart Bureau has made so many troubles, and today there was a conflict with the Chatai Mansion again in the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce. Now that the Mengyuan Imperial Court has given us other tasks without breathlessness, we have to run around again, and we don't have much time to adjust......"

"What the hell is going on. Dart?" The steward Aze looked at Sun Shangrong with an annoyed look on his face and couldn't help asking.

Sun Shangrong calmed down, then sat up and said slowly: "The imperial court has given us a new task to transport darts to the dart bureau, let us transport a dart within three days. The starting point of the stored materials is still the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce. As for the destination...... It is a Qingmo Villa twenty miles away from the capital. ”

"Qingmo Villa?" Aze said in confusion when he heard this, "When we first came to Dadu, we all seemed to have heard of it, but we had never been to that place yet. After all, twenty miles outside the capital is not a short distance, and there are many unknown rugged mountain roads or labyrinthine forests on the way, and few people generally take that part of the road. ”

"Yes, but Qingmo Villa is the same as Mingjian Villa. It is also a very shili mountain villa, as the dart game in the city. It's also a necessary connection. Sun Shangrong continued.

Aze thought for a moment, and then asked, "Didn't the people from the imperial court say the reason?" After all, without any warning, let us transport a dart to Qingmo Villa, is this a bit ...... Too suddenly?"

Sun Shangrong rested the document in his hand on the table in front of him, and continued: "The document of the imperial court said about the origin of Qingmo Villa, ten years ago, some wealthy merchants came to Dadu to do business, but because they were excluded by the imperial court, they were driven out of the capital. However, because many of the wealthy merchants of Qingmo Villa were so rich, they directly established a large chamber of commerce outside the city, and Zuihou directly became a villa. But I don't know what the reason is, the imperial court gradually changed its opinion at a certain time, and continued to support Qingmo Villa economically, and gave them a rich supply every year. Nowadays, Qingmo Villa is also prosperous, and with the funding of the Mengyuan court, they have been completely subordinate to the Mengyuan court. Recently, it seems that the Mengyuan Imperial Court has also arranged some affairs in Qingmo Villa, and the transportation of logistics has been handed over to us to the Dart Bureau. ”

"It seems that this Qingmo Villa is famous in the suburbs outside the capital, and there is also the Mengyuan Dynasty and the government personally supporting it......" Aze was still a little puzzled, "But hasn't the imperial court been squeezing out the merchants of Qingmo Villa before......?"

Sun Shangrong also had such thoughts, but he still said very calmly: "It's normal to have a little doubt, but since this is a task given to us by the imperial court personally, it is the first time, so we naturally have no reason to refuse." ”

"Then who will go this time?" Aze asked again, "Won't it still be the young master and Ah Guang?"

"Qingmo Villa is not simple, it is as authoritative as Mingjian Villa, and the road is also unknown and difficult, so you must send a dart master with sufficient experience in communication and transportation. Sun Shangrong said lightly, "When it comes to these conditions, only Yun'er and Ah Guang can ......."

"But the troubles of the past few days have involved the young master and Ah Guang and them...... Ah Ze continued to worry, "I'm afraid that the young master is too tired, and if they let them go, will it ......?"

"Hey, we can't ...... the orders issued by the imperial court" Sun Shangrong, who has always been calm, also sighed at this time, and then continued, "Yun'er, they are indeed very tired, but this time the task under the imperial court cannot be sloppy." Since the imperial court ordered that it should be within three days, it is better to let Yun'er and Ah Guang rest for two days first...... Set off again in two days, although the road is bumpy and unknown, but with their experience in dartmanship, it should be no problem to arrive in one day on a twenty-mile journey......"

"It seems that this is the only way to be the best......" Aze also sighed softly, and then looked around aimlessly.

After Sun Shangrong finished speaking, he did not immediately go to deal with affairs or rest, but hesitated, as if thinking about something.

Aze saw it on the side, so he inadvertently asked, "What's wrong?" Darthead, what are you thinking?"

Sun Shangrong stared at the table with his eyes, and then said word by word: "I'm thinking." The imperial court gave us this task so suddenly, is there really something going on over there in Qingmo Villa, or is it ......"

"Or do some people have other secret secrets...... "Aze replied, "Darthead, do you want to say this?"

Sun Shangrong knew that Aze, as the financial manager he had trusted for many years, had some understanding of what he was thinking. Immediately, Sun Shangrong nodded lightly and continued to whisper: "In the past few days, there have been many strange or unpredictable things in the capital that have never happened before, all of which have been brought to the dart game for us. I wonder if it's someone or some organization...... Secretly targeting us to dart ......"

Aze didn't say anything more, but looked at Sun Shangrong, who had been thinking deeply. Then he looked away......

"The young master is back-" After a long time, there was a voice at the door again, it seemed that Sun Yun and the others had returned.

"It's the young master, they're back. Aze also said with a smile on the side.

"It's okay to come back safely......" Sun Shangrong also looked at the door of the hall and said in a voice. "Lately things don't haode things happen all the time. And it always has a big and small relationship with the dart game, Yun'er is engaged in it outside, and I am always worried......"

After a while, Sun Yun, Ren Guang and others slowly walked in from the door of the hall. Sun Yun walked ten steps in front of Sun Shangrong, and then asked An to say, "Father-in-law, the child is back-"

"It's good to come back...... Sun Shangrong asked with concern, "How is it, Yun'er." You're going to Mingjian Villa again, and everything is okay?"

"It's fine. I just said something to the flower owner of Mingjian Villa, Senior Hua......" Sun Yun responded.

Sun Shangrong nodded, then paused for a while, then picked up the paperwork in front of the table with one hand, and then said: "Yun'er, I know that you are too tired these days, but I'm afraid you can't rest yet, and the court has given us a task to come to the Dart Bureau......"

"What task?" Sun Yun heard that it was the order that the Mengyuan Imperial Court personally gave to the Fortune Dart Bureau, so he couldn't help but be curious, "We haven't been in Dadu for long since we came to the Fortune Dart Bureau, and the Mengyuan Imperial Court actually gave us a task so quickly. ”

Subsequently, Sun Shangrong gave Sun Yun and others a general explanation of the content of the task......

After Sun Yun listened, he stood in place and thought about it, and then said: "I know, within three days, the imperial court will let us transport a dart to Qingmo Villa, and the starting point of the dart is still in the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce, right?"

Sun Shangrong nodded, and then said: "Because it is a task under the imperial court, and Qingmo Villa is also a very famous chamber of commerce villa, so my father still wants to send Yun'er and the most haode dart master in this dart game to ...... Of course, if you feel too tired, you can rest for a day or two, and after two days, you have to transport the darts to Qingmo Villa within a day. ”

Sun Yun moved his body and bones casually, and then said: "I am indeed a little tired these days, so according to the will of my father-in-law, let's rest for two days first......"

Sun Shangrong thought for a while, and then said: "The journey to Qingmo Villa this time is a bit far, twenty miles away, and there are many unknown rugged and bumpy roads along the way, so this time I am going to equip Yun'er with more manpower for my father." ”

"The road is difficult, isn't it?" Sun Yun replied, "That's Xiexie's father-in-law......"

"I know the road to Qingmo Villaβ€”" While they were talking, He Zibu, who was beside Sun Yun, suddenly spoke.

"Abu ......" Due to the death of his brother, He Zibu didn't say a word on the way home, and at this time, a sentence suddenly appeared, and Sun Yun couldn't help but look at He Zibu suspiciously.

"Is it true, Abu?" Ren Guang listened and asked, "Do you really know the way to Qingmo Villa?"

He Zibu nodded and replied, "Well, I've been there a few times. There is no mountain road in the twenty miles to Qingmo Villa, but there is a forest called 'Fog Hidden Jungle' in the middle, where there is thick fog all year round, and it is a strange place on the outskirts of the capital. And the road to the Foggy Jungle is a bit long, so it is estimated that there is some trouble in that place along the way. ”

Sun Shangrong listened, and then said: "Okay, since Abu knows the Fog Hidden Jungle and the way to Qingmo Villa, it is the best. Yun'er, this time you go to Qingmo Villa, you can bring Abu with you......"

Sun Yun paused in his heart, and then agreed: "Haode, father-"

After He Zibu finished speaking, his eyes wrinkled slightly, as if he had something in his heart......

It's getting late, and it's almost time for dinner. After everyone in the hall finished speaking, they all prepared to go to dinner. However, among all of them, only He Zibu's heart was the most uncalm...... (To be continued......)
