Chapter 1073: Luo Zhuang Anecdote
The dusk is getting darker, the sunset is gradually dyed, and the suburbs of the northern plains are like a drunken dust veil, which is beautiful and immersive. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info connects the hills and mountains and ravines, which is gorgeous and picturesque, wonderful and wonderful, and makes people deeply intoxicated and touches the scene. However, the seemingly beautiful afterglow of the sunset secretly hides precaution and uneasiness, which makes people unpredictable and unsettled......
After a day's journey, the team finally arrived at the destination, Luozhuang. Because they were blocked by rockfall traps during the day, it took two more hours for the troops to detour, and the whole team was exhausted and weak. Even Sun Yun, the most energetic young master of the dart game, suffered a lot of damage in the battle with Qi Xueyin on the mountain, and after an extra day's journey, he was already physically and mentally exhausted and didn't want to move again, let alone Qi Xueyin, who was not lightly injured......
"Young master, we have arrived at Luozhuang-" Xiaobei still walked at the front of the army with Sun Yun and others, and when he saw the entrance of Luozhuang in front, he couldn't help but look forward.
"It's been a long day's journey, and it's finally here, it's really exhausting......" Sun Yun shrugged his shoulders and couldn't help but joke, "If it hadn't been for that incident early in the morning, the time wouldn't have been so late......"
Sun Yun's words were obviously deliberately "accusing" Qi Xueyin. Qi Xueyin listened, glanced at her eyes and snorted softly, didn't want to pay attention to Sun Yun for the time being, dragged her injured ankle alone, and sat on the board car "leisurely".
"It's so late, I'm afraid that the officials who accepted the official seal of the imperial court have all gone back......," the dart master on the side muttered, and couldn't help but say, "Young master, then what should we do now?"
Sun Yun looked at the sky, looked back at the mental state of all the troops, lowered his eyebrows and said, "According to this, when you enter Luozhuang, I'm afraid it's almost dark...... There's no way, the whole team can only find a place to stay overnight first, and then deal with the official seal tomorrow......"
"Hey, I can finally rest, but I'm exhausted......" Qi Xueyin couldn't help but stretch her waist and babble when she heard this.
"Hey, hey, what are you talking about, the whole team is the most idle ...... you are today" Sun Yun looked at Qi Xueyin's appearance, and couldn't help but target, "It's not bad if you don't have much 'blame', and you're still talking cool here......"
"This girl doesn't care, you hurt me like this, as the young master of the dart game, you have to be responsible for me, the client, in the end, aren't you......" Qi Xueyin deliberately said very vaguely, not only concealing the truth of her duel with Sun Yun, but also skillfully turning the spearhead of the words to the other party, "I, just follow you, the young master, eat, drink, have fun, and have nothing to do with me......
"You have to figure it out, we're not here to have fun in Luozhuang, don't always put on a temper of the eldest lady......" Sun Yun couldn't stand Qi Xueyin's character, and couldn't help but say, "I won't talk about the 'things' during the day, you follow us, don't cause any more trouble, if something happens at that time, I won't care about you......"
"Hmph, I don't want you to care—" Qi Xueyin continued to glance disdainfully.
"This stinky girl ......" really couldn't stand the other party's temper, Sun Yun secretly said awkwardly.
"It's not early, didn't you say that you should find a place to settle down in Luozhuang first?" Returning to the topic, Qi Xueyin continued to ask, "Luozhuang is so small, where is there a place to accommodate so many people from our convoy for the night...... Don't tell me which abandoned temple it's in and can't sleep comfortably, this girl is not happy......"
"Hmph, it's ...... you have a lot of things," Sun Yun couldn't help but tease again, and then said, "Don't worry, it's in a courtyard where the conditions are not bad - that courtyard is usually rented out to foreign caravans, and can accommodate up to a hundred or so people...... During this time, there was only one 'big event' in Luozhuang, so if nothing else, we were the only team staying there tonight......"
"Oh, you guys have a good relationship with Luozhuang when you come to the Dart Bureau, you can find such a good place......" Qi Xueyin continued to chatter.
"Isn't it? The dart bureau is walking outside, whether it is under the imperial court or in the rivers and lakes, you must get acquainted with people, not to mention this mission, or the main matter of transporting the official seal of the imperial court......" Sun Yun explained, and then said to Qi Xueyin, "What about you, just live there honestly for me, don't make any more moths......"
"Hmph......" Qi Xueyin heard Sun Yun talking to herself again, and glanced at her and snorted softly......
After a rough and dangerous journey, the convoy finally arrived at Luozhuang, and according to the original plan, after the troops entered the town, they first found the courtyard where they had settled. However, there was still some way to go from the accommodation, and after passing through the streets and lanes at the entrance of the town, everyone saw an unusual scene.
The dart game has not been to Luozhuang for a while, and most of the troops are newcomers, in the impression of Sun Yun and others, the scene here is not the same as the memory of the past, and a strange feeling wells up in their hearts-
In the four corners of the streets, you can see some "decadent" people everywhere, lazy on the side of the street or in the alleys. It's not that they don't do their job, but it can be vaguely seen that all of them are injured and disabled, and in some cases, they are even wrapped in thick bandages, showing blood, huddled in a corner, like beggars, weak and waiting for death.
It seems that something unusual has happened in this town, and it is vaguely unsettling......
"This Zhuangzi, what's wrong...... Xiaobei saw countless injured civilians along the way, and even got up a little scared and said, "Why...... There will be so many injured people, could it be that the people here are brutally oppressed by the imperial court...... He was even beaten and injured......"
"Probably not-" Sun Yun said sharply, pointing to a corner in front of him, a few wounded officers and soldiers said, "You see, there are still wounded officers and soldiers in that place, if it is the oppression of the imperial court, it won't be that they themselves are also injured, right?" Even if it is a conflict between the officials and the people, but now the injured people and the officers and soldiers get together, and there is no conflict, it is more like taking care of each other, obviously this situation is not the ......work of the imperial court, Sun Yun pointed to another place, the scene of the injured people and civilians taking care of each other.
"What's going on then?" Xiaobei continued to ask puzzled, "Young Master, did this happen when you came to Luozhuang?"
"No, never-" Sun Yun said with great certainty, and said with a solemn expression, "When I came here with Ah Guang, the atmosphere here was very harmonious, compared to the capital with sharp contradictions, this is the best place for public security, and the government and the people get along well...... Although I don't know what's going on here, at present, the relationship between the officers and soldiers and the people has not changed much......"
"Isn't it......" Qi Xueyin suddenly said at this time, and said teasingly, "In Dadu, you, the young master of the Dart Bureau, are unruly and have repeatedly opposed the imperial court, which has made the people of the city government panic, and the contradictions between the officials and the people have intensified, and other places are naturally not comparable to ......."
"If you don't say a word, you'll die-" Sun Yun really couldn't stand Qi Xueyin's character, and couldn't help but turn black and scold.
"Cut ......" Qi Xueyin disdainful, she doesn't care about herself, she doesn't care, anyway, she is very bored now, and she has nothing to say to Sun Yun to relieve her boredom.
Sun Yun didn't want to care about her for the time being, and returned to business, looking at the "decadent" scene in the city, he couldn't help muttering: "Something unusual must have happened here, and the whole town will become like this...... Why are there so many injured people, not even the officers and soldiers of the imperial court have been spared, the nature of the situation is too bad......"
"If there was a riot, it wouldn't be difficult to explain why so many people were injured...... Xiaobei suddenly raised his voice on the side, "It's just that I don't understand, if the riot is real, who would be so bold as to dare to go against the court and injure the officers and soldiers here......"
"And in this case, if there is a riot, the scale is not small......" The other dart masters on the side couldn't help but add.
"Riot...... Could it be that Sun Yun suddenly looked stunned, and at this moment remembered what Yang Zhengming, the chairman of the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce, reminded him of before leaving......
(in recall)......
"Senior Yang, don't worry, I, Sun Yun, will go out in person, can I still have something?" Sun Yun continued to joke, "A month ago, the 'Blood Palace', most of the suburbs, who hasn't heard of my Sun Yun's 'majesty', and when he sees me, he knows that he can't afford to provoke me, and he is afraid that I will lose something?"
"I mean seriously......" However, Yang Zhengming's expression changed suddenly, and he handed the official seal to Sun Yun, and said in a serious tone, "You haven't been in the dart game this month, so you don't know much about the things in the suburbs...... Today, you are going to Luozhuang, I heard that there has been turmoil recently, and the imperial court has even sent officers and soldiers to investigate recently, and it is said that there has been a serious brawl, and there are dead and injured officers and soldiers here......"
"Brawl, dead man...... Is it so serious?" Sun Yun asked in a quiet voice.
"Well, I think it shouldn't be as simple as a fight...... "Yang Zhengming said in a deep voice, quietly calm.
"Riot incident, shouldn't it be ......" When Sun Yun heard this, he couldn't help but think of what Chatai Dordun told him......
"In short, Young Master Sun, you have to have a little heart...... Yang Zhengming continued to remind, "I'm wondering if the 'riot' on Luozhuang's side will have something to do with the heavy pressure of the imperial court...... The construction of the house on the side of Luozhuang was approved by the imperial court, if it is really as I guessed, I am afraid that there is the most likely trouble in that area, and in addition, Young Master Sun, you still have the official seal of the imperial court in your hand, in case it is involved......"
"I know this, I have my own sense of proportion, and I will be careful in everything......" Sun Yun nodded in response, and then mentioned again, "And even if you don't remind you, today's dart, I will have a long mind......" As he spoke, Sun Yun glanced back at Qi Xueyin, who was following the convoy - the object of his focus today, thinking of all kinds of "accidents" that might occur, Sun Yun did not dare to be lazy and careless for a moment......
(In reality)......
"If what Senior Yang said is true, then the riot that happened here is ......" Sun Yun became more and more determined in his heart, and said secretly with a solemn expression.
"Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Xiaobei looked at Sun Yun's restrained expression, thinking that something bad had happened, and asked tremblingly.
"It's okay, it's just a little confused......" In order not to affect everyone's mood, Sun Yun reinvigorated himself and ordered the whole team, "Anyway, let's go to the place where we will stay tonight, no matter what happens here, we will complete our own task first-"
"Yes, young master—" The few dart masters next to him replied in unison.
Qi Xueyin didn't speak, just looked around and took a brief look, seeing that there were injured people everywhere in the streets, a little dilapidated places, and even houses were destroyed...... Qi Xueyin saw everything in her eyes, and couldn't help but secretly say, "Master, it seems that there are things related to me mentioned before...... This place, it can't be ......"
Qi Xueyin seemed to know some secret, and her expression was more solemn than just now......
Without much attention for the time being, the troops continued to march and hurried towards the courtyard where they had settled. By the time the convoy reached its destination, it was already dark......
"It's finally here, it's really not easy today...... Sun Yun stepped forward first, and said to Xiaobei, "Xiaobei, you ask the brothers in the back to unload the things on the car first, and move them to the warehouse in the courtyard - the warehouse is in the west corner, you tell the steward there, come to the young master of the dart bureau to lead a team to transport the official seal of the imperial court and goods, and those people will help us deal with it properly......"
"Well, don't worry, young master, just leave it to us!" Xiaobei said with a straightforward and confident personality, and then instructed the brother behind him, "The young master has an order, the goods on the car are all moved down, follow me to the warehouse behind-"
"Okay—" Everyone in the back said in unison.
"Hmph, this Xiaobei really has the talent to be the leader of the team, if he is the young master of the Dart Bureau, I'm afraid he will be more dedicated than me......" Sun Yun couldn't help but say secretly, looking at Xiaobei's face, his expression suddenly became a little sad, and he said silently in his heart, "Seriously, it's a bit like the original Abu...... It's really like ......" When he thought of the dead He Zibu, Sun Yun felt a little sad in his heart, if He Zibu was still alive now, I am afraid that he would have become a dart master with experience and experience in the dart game......
"Hey, have you finished your order?" However, at the critical moment, Qi Xueyin's shout interrupted Sun Yun's thoughts.
"What's wrong with you?" Hearing Qi Xueyin's voice, Sun Yun knew that there must be no "good thing", and asked with a slumped face.
"After the task is completed, let's think about dinner first......" Qi Xueyin pretended to be coquettish, and said very "pretentiously" in front of Sun Yun, "After a day of travel, my stomach is almost hungry, 'the people take food as the sky', can you, the young master, think about the issue of food for the troops first?"
"Really, it's just that you have a lot of ...... things" Sun Yun stepped aside and couldn't help but joke.
"What do you mean, I made a mistake when I mentioned eating?" Qi Xueyin didn't forget to continue to fight with Sun Yun, and said with a glance on her face, "I really don't want to care about me, if I don't have a task, I'll go to the town to find something to eat by myself, and don't bother you dart game, it's always okay, right?" In front of Sun Yun, Qi Xueyin became more and more rude and willful.
"Come on, since you plan to live in our Dart Bureau, and now you are a member ......of our Dart Bureau, you have to listen to me, the young master, to arrange things," Sun Yun took the opportunity to speak, and his attitude was correct, "Who said that the task was completed? Xiaobei, they went to move the goods, you come down, and together with me, you will place the horses and trailers in the yard——"
"You-" Qi Xueyin knew that Sun Yun was deliberately finding fault with herself, and said with a displeased face......
