Part 3 Jiangnan Wind and Rain Chapter 14 Saying that the beautiful woman asks for help
Jiangnan water town, pleasant scenery. The weeping willows on the shore swing with the wind, and the hearts of pedestrians on the boat follow the wind. Zhang Qichao took Tuoba Shiruo to the old man's residence, and the sound of a boy chanting was heard in the distance. If you listen carefully, it's still the Book of Songs.
"I didn't think that in such a poor and remote place, there would be wise men who would teach. If Tuoba Shi heard the boy's recitation, he couldn't help but sigh.
Zhang Qichao's expression darkened, and he said sadly: "The Magi has already gone west in the crane not long ago. You still know this person. ”
Tuoba Shiruo was curious: "Oh? I still know, who is it?"
"'Jiangnan Yiye' Ye Fengcheng. ”
When Tuoba Shi heard this name, he was silent for a while.
When they arrived at the nameless ferry, the two disembarked and walked up the hill instead. Along the way, there were boys who had seen Zhang Qichao, and they all greeted him one after another and asked about the teacher's current situation. Zhang Qichao didn't dare to say that Ye Fengcheng was dead, so he only deceived the tubes, saying that the teacher was dealing with things and would come when he was free.
Finally arrived at the thatched hut where Ye Fengcheng lived before, and lost its original owner, and now the thatched hut is dilapidated. The wooden benches and square tables outside the house are also stained with mud, which is sad and sad.
"This is where Ye Fengcheng lived in seclusion before his death?" Tuoba Shiruo looked around curiously, looking at the beautiful scenery, and felt relaxed and happy.
Zhang Qichao looked up at the mountain in the distance and said, "Yes, I have also talked to Zhang Qichao about many things here." ”
Worried that the time was too late, Zhang Qichao urged Tuoba Shiruo to hurry up and get on the road, and the two of them headed towards the mountain Zhang Qi had just seen. Walking on this rugged mountain road, how can Tuoba Shiruo be born in a nobleman. After a while, he complained bitterly, and when he took off his boots, he saw that he had already blistered.
Zhang Qichao was afraid of delaying the trip, so he said: "That's it, I'll carry you." ”
Tuoba Shiruo raised her eyebrows and quipped: "Carry me, you are not afraid of being nagged by your daughter-in-law when you go back." ”
"The gentleman is frank, it's not good for me. Forgetting your identity will cause you to blister. Zhang Qichao replied very calmly.
Tuoba Shiruo did not twist and excuse himself, and let Zhang Qichao continue to walk on his back.
"Me and Wei Yan, who is heavier. "Tuoba Shiruo is on Zhang Qichao's back and asks Zhang Qichao a very interesting question.
Zhang Qichao replied: "You are as light, I can't tell the difference." ”
"You're so slippery. Tuoba Shiruo laughed and trembled.
Finally, the bamboo house was in front of him, Zhang Qichao put down Tuoba Shiruo and asked if the owner of the house was there.
There was a sound of the piano in the house, and the sound of the piano turned gracefully to listen, like a mountain stream and a clear spring, refreshing people's hearts.
Zhang Qichao said respectfully: "Miss Ji, if you are friends of Ye Fengcheng in Xia and Tuoba Shiruo, you have come to ask for advice if you have something. ”
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and a woman's voice came, "Ye Fengcheng was alive, it seems that I expected it to be true, he is really dead." ”
Zhang Qichao bluntly said, "Yes, he was killed by the emperor." The ashes were buried at the former site of the Yuanyue Hall, and it has been the same for several months. ”
"What are you looking for me?" The woman's voice did not change because of the news of Ye Fengcheng's death, and she was still quiet and indifferent.
Zhang Qichao said: "After the death of the king of Pingnan, the six islands in the south of the Yangtze River began to move, waiting for an opportunity to invade the south of the Yangtze River and plot against the Central Plains. I had heard Ye Fengcheng mention that the girl had an old relationship with the six islands, so I came here to ask. ”
"It turns out that this is this matter, I am far away from the rivers and lakes, and I am afraid that I can't tell you about the six islands, so please go back, childe. The woman's voice changed visibly, and then the sound of the piano came.
Seeing the meaning of the woman in the bamboo house, she didn't want to see each other at all, Tuoba Shiruo said: "Hey, now we are running for nothing." ”
Zhang Qichao quietly listened to the sound of the woman's piano and motioned to Tuoba Shiruo to listen carefully. But there is a hint of sorrow, struggle and nostalgia in the sound of the qin. The five flavors are mixed, so that the sound of the piano is not as pure as when it first came. It contains too many feelings, but it is moving.
After the song was finished, the woman felt that Zhang Qichao was still outside, and sighed: "Why bother with Zhang Gongzi, I have decided not to ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes anymore." Please let Zhang Gongzi leave, don't make me feel embarrassed. ”
Zhang Qichao sighed and said, "Since the girl insists on refusing to tell me, I have no choice but to leave." Before leaving, I just want to say one thing, Hangdao has already taken action against the Yunxia faction, but I am afraid that Jiangnan may not be suitable for the girl to live in seclusion in the future. ”
After speaking, Zhang Qichao was about to leave with Tuoba Shiruo on his back. At this time, the door of the bamboo house suddenly opened, and a beautiful woman walked out of the house.
Ji Mengwan asked softly, "Did Zhang Gongzi meet Cheng Erxuan, the current owner of the island?"
Zhang Qichao and Tuoba Shiruo glanced at each other and felt that there was a play. put her down and replied: "It's indeed called Cheng Erxuan, about thirty years old, and her strength is unfathomable." ”
Ji Mengwan sighed: "She's just lucky, but in fact, her strength is not the strongest." What you will really have to face in the future is the islands of A, A, and Tsushima. ”
In Zhang Qichao's impression, he has always believed that Huidao is the first of the six islands, and Hangdao is a sudden rise. Listening to Ji Mengwan's tone, the three islands she said were the most terrifying.
"Why do you say that?" asked Tuoba Shiruo.
Ji Mengwan said: "I can't finish talking for a while, please come into the house with me." ”
Zhang Qichao helped Tuoba Shiruo, entered Ji Mengwan's bamboo house for the first time, and saw that the furnishings inside were exquisite, and he was amazed in his heart.
The three of them sat down around the round bamboo table, and Ji Mengwan personally poured tea for them.
Zhang Qichao took a sip of tea, and then asked: "Among the six islands, I have already understood the Hang Island and Hui Island, what is special about the three islands that the girl said?" ”
Ji Mengwan said: "The reason why Zhang Gongzi didn't see the three islands I mentioned earlier was because something happened that made them temporarily unable to attack Jiangnan. ”
"What's the matter?" Tuoba Shiruo became interested and hurriedly asked.
Ji Mengwan's face became ugly, as if she remembered something bad, and finally turned into a sigh and said, "It's just because the owner of these three islands disappeared mysteriously more than twenty years ago. ”
"It can't be because of this, you can stand again without the island owner. Zhang Qichao felt incredible, "What's more, he was the owner of the island twenty years ago, how could he still have an impact today." ”
"It's a long story, it's ...... back then," Ji Mengwan told about the six islands back then.
More than 20 years ago, the six islands in Jiangnan invaded Jiangnan under the leadership of the communist leader Lu Xun. Under the full resistance of King Pingnan, Zhongyuan Wulin and Jiangnan Wulin, it ended dismally. After Lu Xun's death, the six islands in the south of the Yangtze River lost their co-owners, so the six island owners held a secret meeting to jointly elect a new co-owner.
In order to prevent eavesdropping, but also to protect each other. The meeting took place on a large ship, the details of which are unknown. The outcome of the meeting is also unknown, because something happened that no one wanted to see.
The big ship suddenly explodes at sea, and the whereabouts of the owner of the six islands are unknown. Hui Island and Hang Island immediately elected new owners to deal with the future situation. And Jin Island, after the death of the island owner, fell into a split because of infighting, and the loss of talents was huge, and it has not eased up so far, only an empty shelf exists.
The owners of the other three islands are loyal to their subordinates because of their high prestige, and there is news from time to time that they have seen the island owners. As a result, Mishima elected the representative owner to temporarily take care of the island's affairs until the owner returned.
In this way, it is twenty years.
Zhang Qi Chaoqi said: "Twenty years, there is a generation. Is there really no one to rebel?"
Ji Mengwan shook her head and said, "No, the situation on Mishima is different, but there is generally no rebellion. ”
"Which island do you belong to?" Tuoba Shiruo felt that Ji Mengwan was so familiar with the six islands, and she was by no means an outsider.
A touch of sadness appeared in Ji Mengwan's eyes, "I am Huandao, and my father Ji Jiao is the owner of Huangdao." ”
Zhang Qichao and Tuoba Shiruo invariably said "ah".
"The reason why I am willing to see you is also for the sake of the island. Ji Mengwan said her request, "I hope you can help me find my father, I am grateful." ”
Zhang Qichao was puzzled: "I was duty-bound to do Miss Ji's matter. It's just that Ling Zun has been missing for twenty years, and I'm afraid I don't have the ability to help you find it. ”
"It's not for nothing that I asked you for help, please look at the map, this is where the rumors of several island owners appeared. Ji Mengwan took out a map, which clearly marked the layout of the six islands.
The six islands are diagonally lined from northeast to southwest, with Hui Island in the north, followed by Hangdao, and in the southernmost part is Zhudao. As for the rest of the scattered islands, they are dotted like pearls, and together they form the six islands. And the location pointed by Ji Mengwan's finger is the southeasternmost island on the map.
