Chapter 821: Something Strange (I)
In the early morning of the next day, in Bianliang City, according to the original plan, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing were going to the Prime Minister's Mansion today to meet Yuan Chong, the current prefect of Bianliang, and meet with him......
After greeting their parents, after breakfast, the two left the house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe Lu Mansion is in the south of the city, the former site of the Xiangfu is in the north of the city, and the huge Bianliang City is not an easy task if you want to go through both ends. Fortunately, after the end of the war, the army in the city had its own recuperation, except for taking time to inspect the order of the troops, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing did not have too many complicated and trivial matters, and the right was to return home in two years and travel to the city again.
However, after the war, the ruins of Bianliang are fully displayed, which cannot be compared with the prosperity of the Anshi period. Soon after the end of the war, the order in the city was not stable, not to mention the street market, and most of the people in the city still fed on relief food, waiting for the city to be rebuilt and restored. But defeated the Mengyuan army, the people in the city were all rejoicing, compared to the prosperous period of repeated oppression, the burden of servitude, the common people prefer the present, even if the days are cold for the time being, but it is to obtain peace and freedom, the whole world celebrates......
Tang Zhan and Lu Jing walked hand in hand in the streets and alleys, laughing and laughing from time to time. Despite being dressed in military uniforms, the two seem to have returned to the situation of their first love two years ago, temporarily forgetting the pain of the war and immersing themselves in the joy of rare peace......
"The order of the troops is not bad, and they did not harass the local people, which saves us a lot of worry......" Tang Zhan looked around at the surrounding city scenery and muttered with relief.
"Isn't it......" Lu Jing also responded calmly, compared to the eccentric and naughty two years ago, Lu Jing is now more mature and open-minded, "Zhu Yuanzhang ordered along the army that wherever the troops go, they must not disturb the order of the people...... Although I am wary of Zhu Yuanzhang, I still admire him in this regard......"
"I don't know what the situation is over there in the Prime Minister's Mansion......" Tang Zhan continued to mutter, "Think about it two years ago, there was a heavy place for the Mengyuan military plane, and the people in the city generally didn't dare to approach it...... However, after the end of the war, although the people were safe and sound, the former site of the Prime Minister's Mansion was seized not long ago, and I think that there should still be many military secrets in that place that we do not yet know, although those secrets may not be important after the war......"
"Not necessarily—" Lu Jing suddenly said solemnly, "Although Bianliang has been broken, its military secrets may not be worthless...... Do you remember, fool? Two years ago, during the kendo conference, Sister Su once broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion at night, the purpose of which was to find out the whereabouts of the traitorous disciple Chen Shijin, and it turned out that Sister Su really found it......"
"Chen Shijin's whereabouts...... Is it?" Tang Zhan muttered a few words, trying to recall, "I remember that Miss Su said that Chen Shijin was in Tongguan and was ...... by General Zhenxi."
"Tongguan, ah......" Hearing the word "Tongguan", Lu Jing couldn't help but think, "If the Bianliang War is over, and then the capture of Luoyang and other places, and the strategy of going west and north, it will be Tongguan...... Sister Su, do you mean you ......?"
"What's wrong, Jing'er?" Looking at Lu Jing's thoughtful appearance, Tang Zhan couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, it's all right...... It's just ......" Lu Jing seemed to have an inexplicable premonition in her heart, and said while guessing, "I'm thinking, Sister Su broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion two years ago, although the purpose was to inquire about Chen Shijin's whereabouts, but what she found was only news about Chen Shijin?"
"What do you mean?" Tang Zhan asked a little puzzled.
"Silly do you think, two years ago, Sister Su broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion at night, but she was chased and killed by Wang Dasheng in every way, if it was just because of the whereabouts of a Chen Shijin, is it necessary to be so persistent......" Recalling the past two years ago, Lu Jing seemed to have found something suspicious, and became more and more convinced.
"Jing'er, what do you mean...... Two years ago, Miss Su discovered something unknown...... Is it a secret?" Tang Zhan asked in surprise.
"That's right, it must be because of this-" Lu Jing said with confidence, "If this secret is important, even a matter of life and death, then Sister Su has a good reason to hide this matter from us...... And because it is important, Wang Dasheng will put Sister Su to death at all costs, because this secret is likely to involve military secrets, let outsiders know, and the consequences will be unimaginable......"
"What would be the secret from two years ago......" Tang Zhan also became more and more nervous, and his expression gradually became serious.
"There is an oh ......" Lu Jing seemed to think of it, and said expressively, "Fool, have you forgotten? Two years ago, at the Bianliang Kendo Conference, there was a secret ...... that everyone wanted to know about."
Tang Zhan also seemed to realize that the secret of two years ago that was about to be forgotten in the dust......
"Boss, so you're here—" While Tang Zhan and Lu Jing were thinking, a sudden shout in front of them interrupted their thoughts.
"Huh, boss?" Tang Zhan was a little puzzled when he heard this, and turned his head to look.
Lu Jing showed a smile, because this person is no more familiar to him - he is the most famous gangster "Ma San'er" in Bianliang City.
"Yo, such a coincidence, such a big Bianliang City, I actually met you here......" Seeing Ma San'er, Lu Jing immediately changed her expression, "cynical" and said, "Why, don't be a 'bully' in your stall, come to this girl to bow your head, it's not like your style......"
Tang Zhan then remembered it, and couldn't help but smile - Ma San'er, the most powerful gangster in Bianliang City, known as the "overlord of the overlord", had a lot of trouble in the city, and even the pawns of the government would scare him for three points...... Ma San'er has the highest power among the ruffians, but she was obedient to a Lu family girl, who left Bianliang two years ago, and Ma San'er helped to complete the trailer, successfully helping Lu Jing "run away from home"...... It can be seen that after such calculations, Lu Jing's "status" in Bianliang is really not small, no matter which brother in the ruffian gangster world will respect him......
Thinking of this, Tang Zhan was on the side, and couldn't help but smile secretly: "Jing'er, I didn't expect you to be able to make a name for yourself......
Lu Jing didn't think so, made a "boss" look, and said quirkily: "Why, I heard that this girl is back, you brothers, all come out to greet you?"
Ma San'er made a flattering smile, bowed his head and said: "But isn't it? We have all heard that the boss is now the general of the vanguard of the Ming army, and he is a great hero who saves the people of Bianliang by raising troops to break through Bianliang, and we are all sincerely happy for the boss!"
"yes...... Yes, ......" The brothers behind them also responded with smiles.
"Okay, okay, I haven't seen you for two years, but I respect this girl a lot......" Lu Jing "unruly" plucked her ears, as if she had thought of some good idea, and couldn't help asking, "By the way, this girl won the battle this time, and there are still too many chores, I need Ma San'er to help me deal with something......"
"What's the matter, boss, even if you mention it, in this Bianliang City, our brothers have the most eyeliner and the most power, and there are no ...... who dare to be disrespectful to us," Ma San'er said confidently.
"That's ......good," Lu Jing then asked, "Since you have the most eyeliner, then let me ask you, is there any public security problem in the city after the battle of Bianliang is over?"
"Generally ......not," Ma San'er recalled, "I just remember that yesterday, there seemed to be a disturbance in the Murong family...... There is a gangster named Cheng Kui, who turned out to be Murong Xin's brother, on the road outside the city, taking advantage of the decline of the Murong family, he wanted to loot and occupy the wealth for himself...... Later, I heard that the eldest lady of the Murong family was back, not only killed Cheng Kui, but also asked Yuan Chong and Lord Yuan to subdue those gangsters, so that the turmoil could be calmed down......"
"It's Sister Sakura......" Hearing about Murong Ying's matter, Tang Zhan couldn't help but say.
"It seems that there was a lot of restlessness in the Murong family yesterday, but fortunately, Sister Ying came home and ...... in time" Lu Jing muttered first, thinking that the war was not long over, and the law and order were still unstable, Lu Jing asked Ma San'er, "Ma San'er, you said that in this city, all the ruffians belong to your rights, right?"
"Needless to say, in this Bianliang City, even if it is ten miles outside the city, there is no one who has not heard of my Ma San'er's 'Overlord Lord'...... No matter which way it is, they will respect me Ma San'er for three points-" Ma San'er said proudly.
"Then you, the 'overlord master', are you obeying this girl?" Lu Jing asked with a "bad" smile.
"That'...... Then do you need to say?" Lu Jing spoke, Ma San'er immediately retracted his temper, leaned over and said respectfully, "Miss Lu, you are our boss, and I, Ma San'er, will not accept anyone, so I will only obey you - boss, what do you say, I will do it, and tell my brothers to do it!"
"Well-that'...... good" Lu Jing deliberately put on a "generous" look, with a "smug face".
Tang Zhan was on the side, looking at Lu Jing's appearance of "hanging Erlang", he was about to laugh stupidly, and couldn't help but secretly said: "Jing'er, I can be the boss in the gangster world, and I will only 'convince' you alone......"
Lu Jing immediately stood up straight and immediately ordered: "Okay, that girl will tell Ma San'er one thing now-"
"Boss, please say—" Ma San'er said respectfully.
"I order you, and tell all the brothers in your city to manage the security in this area, and before Bianliang is rebuilt, no more ruffians are allowed to make trouble here-" Lu Jing continued, "If you dare to do it, and you can't cure it, you can tell him, when I Lu Jing comes back, I will definitely bring him back to life with my own hands!"
"No problem-" Ma San'er replied briskly, "Don't worry, this boss, as long as my Ma San'er gives an order, no brother will dare to disobey - if any thug dares to make trouble here, don't bother you, boss, I Ma San'er personally wants him to look good!"
"Very good, this matter is done, one day this girl will come back, and your benefits will be indispensable......" Lu Jing continued to speak.
"Thank you, boss, Ma San'er will definitely do this with his brothers, and there is no need for the boss to worry about it-" Ma San'er continued.
Lu Jing nodded with satisfaction, Tang Zhan watched it from the side, and couldn't help but secretly admire while laughing: "Jing'er, you are so powerful, you used such a seemingly nonsensical method to successfully control the public security before the reconstruction of Bianliang - this method is really stronger than the government's own rectification, haha......"
Skillfully managing public security, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing temporarily bid farewell to Ma San'er and the others, and continued to walk in the direction of the north of the city......
Outside Bianliang City, Plum Blossom Villa......
Early in the morning, Gao Ying still told Xiaoqing to take care of the affairs of the courtyard as usual, and then went to the back mountain to relax and enjoy the fresh "bath" in the early morning. The difference is that today Su Jia accompanied Xiaoqing to take care of it, and in the back mountain, Gao Ying was also preparing to go to see Xiao Tian - Xiao Tian held back his anger and slept in the back mountain for a night, and he didn't know what the situation was......
On crutches, he slowly walked to the back mountain, although he was over seventy years old, Gao Ying's body was still strong, and he hiking up the mountain without rest, and he didn't look old at all. When he passed through the corner of the corridor and went up the stairs, he finally saw Xiao Tian's shadow, and Gao Ying was stunned for a while.
Xiao Tian lay flat on all fours, sleeping under the stone stairs and in front of the bronze statue of the stone monk, looking very funny, and snoring from time to time. But around Xiao Tian, it is an amazing picture - in front of the stone stairs along the mountain, countless grooves like instantaneous blades are densely carved next to the stone steps of the river, which is a mess and jaw-dropping. Rubble and tiles are splashed, the broken earth is craggy, and the entire "one-way mountain" is almost trampled and destroyed by inexplicable strange forces. On the side where Xiao Tian slept, the "Mingmeng Iron Sword" was inserted vertically in the center of the stone crevice, which seemed to be hastily placed aside after Xiao Tian practiced the Houjian last night......
Gao Ying saw the frightened scene, her expression was shocked, she looked at the mess at the foot of the mountain, and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"What the hell is this...... Gao Ying slowly approached to take a look, looked around at the "broken scene", and said in secret surprise, "What did this stinky boy do last night...... These grooves are indeed traces left by sword qi, but they are not the 'Divine Dragon Nine Transformation Sword Technique', nor are they the 'Xiao Family Sword Technique'...... Could it be that this stinky boy practiced his sword here all night last night......?
Looking at the "Mingmeng Iron Sword" on the stone crack, Gao Ying was very unfamiliar, because she knew very well that what she gave to Xiao Tian two years ago was the Zhenbao "Plum Blossom Sword" of the villa......
"Hmm...... Hmm......" However, while Gao Ying was thinking, Xiao Tian, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly let out a few deep sounds, and said without waking up in a foggy dream, "Jia'er, don't ...... Don't hug me...... I'm so embarrassed ......"
Hearing Xiao Tian's "nonsense" dream words, Gao Ying walked up to Xiao Tian and muttered secretly: "Hmph, this stinky boy has this kind of dream every day, it's really hopeless......"
However, without waiting for Gao Ying to finish speaking, Xiao Tian continued to narcissistically and confused: "Jia'er, let it go, I know...... You like me...... But don't let Master see it...... She is an old woman in her seventies, and an old woman is a ...... Never married...... See us both...... Like this, I don't get angry and my eyebrows are wrinkled......"
Good guy, dare to say such things in front of Gao Ying. Sure enough, when Gao Ying heard this, her lungs were about to explode, her face turned dark, and her "surprised impression" of Xiao Tian just now was completely gone. Gao Ying stood in front of him, picked up his crutches, and unceremoniously pointed a pestle above Xiao Tian's stomach......
"Oh, roar, roar, roar, ......" exclaimed, Xiao Tian was suddenly "beaten" awake, covered his stomach and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
"Stinky boy, as soon as I'm not there, I'm talking nonsense behind my back......" Gao Ying didn't show any emotion, and said bluntly...... (To be continued.) )
