5. Smell the fragrance and know the cinnamon
Zhang Zhinan pretended to laugh for a while, and said: "Don't worry, no one can believe the matter of Jianxiao Palace even if you say it, so as long as it does not shake the government and the opposition, the general palace master will not pursue it." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Lu Guan Zhong let out a long breath and touched his chest, his expression suddenly relaxed.
Xiao Zhi said: "Brother Yi, what's going on with this Sword Screaming Palace Envoy C? Isn't there a nice name?
Zhang Zhinan showed a helpless expression and said, "The palace master of Jianxiao Palace feels that the title is irrelevant, so he counts it with A, B, C, D. No one will listen to it. ”
After that, he was afraid that Xiao Lu and the others would be entangled in this matter again, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "The palace master asked me to investigate the matter of disturbing the Tiangang in the Sichuan-Guizhou area, and I can't derelict my duties, so let's find a way out of the valley and go over there to take a look." ”
Lu Guanzhong tilted his head and thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Uncle Shi, it is time-consuming and laborious for you to go to investigate alone, it is better to go to my Lu family to rest and then leave, my Lu family has many eyes and ears, and there is news every day about what has happened on the rivers and lakes in recent days, which must be helpful to you." ”
Zhang Zhinan looked embarrassed, and said: "But as an envoy of the Sword Screaming Palace, how can I rely on the power of ordinary people? Wouldn't I be laughed out of my big teeth if I spread it? Moreover, as the leader of the beggar gang, how can I say that I am famous in the world, if I am recognized, how can I act secretly in the future?"
Xiao Bei smiled: "It's okay, that Dayi has also joined forces with Gao Yingxiang, you are just following in the footsteps of others." And as long as you pretend to be my attendant, no one will doubt it. With that, he took out two masks from his bosom, one with a white face and the other with a dog's head. handed the dog's head to Zhang Zhinan and said, "From now on, you will be called Wangcai." ”
Zhang Zhinan snatched the white noodles and said, "I don't want to be rich, you better be your Tibetan mastiff." After that, he put on the white face first and became a faceless person.
Xiao Bei was helpless, so he had to put the dog's head on. The appearance of the two suddenly became extremely funny.
When Lu Guanzhong saw it, he immediately laughed heartily and said, "One person is a whole egg, and one person is a Tibetan mastiff, and it really deserves its reputation." And as Luther, I'm even more famous. ”
Zhang Zhinan secretly passed Luther's true meaning to Xiao Bei, Xiao Bei was stunned for a while, and then couldn't help laughing.
The three of them swam up along the stream, only to feel that the terrain was getting higher, and sure enough, after walking for a long time, the three found that the road was level with the surrounding mountains and rocks, and obviously walked out of the valley unconsciously. Xiao Jie then observed the position of the North Star, judged the southwest direction, and the three of them walked towards the male loser.
The public losers have a huge presence in Sichuan, and they have manpower in almost all towns. When the three of them arrived at the nearest town, Lu Guanzhong showed the sign of his public loser to a stable, and the owner of the stable immediately took out three good horses for the three to ride, and did not take a penny. After the three of them galloped wildly, and when they arrived at the stable, they changed horses, and it took only one day and one night, and the three of them came to the family of the West Sichuan Gong.
This public loser is located near Dujiangyan in the west of Chengdu, although it is nominally a personal residence, but in fact it is the size of a village, covering an area of several thousand acres, which can be said to be a public loss city. However, because the public loser does not want to make a big move, it is extremely low-key, hidden deep in the mountains, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see it.
This walled city is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is a city wall on one side, and the city walls are all made of fine huge granite, which is not much better than the Yingtianfu city wall built by Shen Wansan back then. There are dozens of fine steel cannons on the walls, which are daunting. I'm afraid that even if tens of thousands of elite soldiers come to attack, it will be difficult to work.
Xiao Bei had been here once before, and when he saw him again at this moment, he still felt incredible, and asked, "Guan Zhong, why did your public loser build the house like a fortress? Could it be that your enemies are so much?"
Lu Guanzhong frowned and said: "How do you speak? What do you mean that there are many enemies? I think that my father-in-law has always had no quarrel with the world, is friendly to the outside world, and never makes enemies. Even the imperial court favors us, who dares to get along with us? It's just that our public loser is good at manufacturing machinery and equipment, and his skills are the best in the world, and all the gangs, families, and even the government and the army have customized equipment for us, and the wealth is rolling in, resulting in us being extremely rich, and we have nowhere to spend our money, so we have to constantly build walls and cities. Over the years, my home has become like this. ”
When Xiao Zhang and the others heard this, they finally understood that the Lu family was building a city like this because they were rich and capricious, and they were immediately speechless.
When the three of them came to the city, Lu Guanzhong found several bricks and stones on the wall, gently pushed them on them, and after a while, a small door opened next to the gate of the city wall. Although it is a small door, it can actually be used by one person to ride a horse, Lu Guanzhong took the lead, and Xiao Zhang and the others also entered.
As the three of them walked through the walled city, they saw rice paddies on both sides of the road, among which no one cultivated, but there were many wooden roulette wheels, rolling back and forth in the fields. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the wheel was equipped with an iron hoe, which was used to loosen the soil and sow seeds while rolling. There is no need for cattle and horses to pull it, which is extremely magical.
The waterway between the rice fields is strange, and the water flows slowly in it, so that each rice plant can be irrigated, which is very reasonable and well-planned, giving people a simple and neat beauty.
After walking for several more miles, the rice paddies gradually disappeared, and houses rose on the side of the road, arranged in a regular pattern, like huge squares. The houses are separated by a straight road, and there is a continuous crack in the middle of the road, and I don't know what it is used for.
The road was also deserted, Xiao Zhang and the others felt very strange, just wanted to ask, suddenly heard the sound of "Gege" in front of them, a strange-looking square cart towards the three of them, and there was no carriage in front of them.
When the cart came closer, Xiao Zhang and the others saw clearly, only to see that there was an iron wheel in the middle of the cart, embedded in the crack of the road, driving along the gap, and there were other small wheels on both sides of the cart to support the body.
The cart drove in front of the three of them, and then stopped, and a woman dressed in black got out of the car, with a delicate face, a young appearance, about a weak crown, but a strong look, and a vigorous and resolute military style.
The woman stood upright, bowed deeply to Lu Guanzhong, and said, "Young master, you went out to suppress bandits, it was really hard, why did you bring these two back?"
Lu Guanzhong said with a smile: "Those people are separated from me, and they are probably looking for me everywhere, and you will send a trap mouse to inform them later." By the way, auntie, I haven't seen you for a long time, why did you think of greeting your brother-in-law today?"
The woman's face flushed, and the strong appearance just now suddenly disappeared, and she snorted, "Young master...... Regardless of the opposition of the head of the family, you posthumously named my deceased sister as a wife, I ...... I can't thank you enough, but ...... I really don't like you like that...... Don't go your own way. ”
Lu Guan Zhong said indifferently: "I am now the county lord's husband, Haoyue has no objection, and that old thing has nothing to say, no matter what he does." ”
The woman's expression was agitated, her eyes were full of tears, and she wanted to fall.
Lu Guanzhong called out "ouch" and said, "Fuxiang, don't cry, otherwise my conscience will not go." We have just returned, you go and inform Steward Wei, and say that he wants to prepare good wine and food for the two distinguished guests. ”
Fuxiang nodded, wiped her eyes, and asked suspiciously, "What are these two called?"
Lu Guan Zhong said solemnly: "This one with a white mask is called Zhang Quandan, and the one with a dog's head is called Xiao Zang Mastiff, and they are Luther's distinguished guests, you must not ignore them." ”
Xiao Zhang and the others forced their smiles, it was extremely hard, but fortunately they were wearing masks and no one could see their expressions.
Fuxiang believed it to be true, and said, "Yes!" Then he picked up a cylinder on his body, put it to his mouth and said: "Steward Wei, the young master is back, and he also brought two distinguished guests, one named Zhang Quandan, and the other named Xiao Zangmastiff, who are Luther's distinguished guests, so you must not be neglected." She didn't know who Lu Guanzhong was referring to, but she remembered it very well and passed all Lu Guanzhong's words over.
After she finished speaking, she saw that Xiao Zhang and the others were trembling all over, as if they were having epilepsy, and couldn't help but wonder: "Two distinguished guests, I don't know what discomfort there is? ”
Xiao Bei's face turned red, gritted his teeth, and said intermittently: "No ...... It's okay, we have some hidden problems...... It'll be fine in a while......"
Fuxiang thought for a moment and said, "But I just called the wrong name, so it made the two of you angry?"
"No...... No...... Your name is right...... That's right......" Zhang Zhinan also snorted and spit out.
Fuxiang is very serious, seeing that the two guests seem to be angry, he immediately took two steps, took a deep look, and said: "In the lower leaf Fuxiang, the current sister succeeds the sister, and the young bodyguard, I don't know the name of the two people, or there is a slip of the tongue, please tell the two of you the name, and I will also report it." ”
"Good...... My name is Xiao Tibetan Mastiff. Xiao Bei couldn't help her, and said with a smile.
"My name is ...... Zhang Quandan ...... "Zhang Zhinan raised his head to the sky and suppressed his smile with a strong will.
Lu Guanzhong's face was expressionless, and he interjected on the side: "My name is Luther." ”
How can Xiao Zhang and the others endure it anymore? In the inexplicable eyes of Ye Fuxiang and Lu Guanzhong, the two of them tore their throats and laughed so hard that they leaned back and laughed, almost in pain.
At this moment, there was a gentle sound of horses' hooves behind the four people, Xiao Zhang and the others restrained their smiles, turned their heads to look, and saw a handsome man riding a white horse with a great horse, surrounded by several fierce knights walking towards the four of them.
"General Wu?" Ye Fuxiang immediately showed a look of admiration, ran to the man, respectfully bowed, and said: "General Wu is busy with military affairs, and he has to come to transport goods in person, so he must bow down to everything, and he is really a model for my generation." ”
The man smiled frankly and said, "It's okay for other goods, but this three-eyed eye gun is the first important thing for my Guanning Iron Cavalry, how can I be contemptuous?"
"Guanning Iron Cavalry......?" Zhang Zhi couldn't hear it, and suddenly his tone changed greatly, and he drove forward very seriously, and asked: "This is General Wu Sangui Wu, who is the commander of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, known as the Flying Tiger of the Border?"
The man looked suspicious, looked at Zhang Zhinan, and said, "Exactly, ...... Your Excellency?"
