Chapter Seventy-Two: Leaving the Village
On a willow tree outside Bailiu Villa, a woman quietly looked at the Laojun Pavilion in the night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
When Leng Hanshuang quietly walked out of the Laojun Pavilion and left Bailiu Villa, the woman immediately leaned in and floated in the direction where Leng Hanshuang disappeared.
A few days later, Ximen Kuanghui and Ximen Zairen came to Bailiu Villa.
Zhou Zijian resigned to Ximen Kuanghui, claiming that he had stayed in the villa for more than two months and was deeply taken care of by the owner. Now that I have saved some silver taels, it's time to go back to Kongtong Mountain.
Ximen Kuanghui didn't keep it, and took out fifty taels of silver as Zhou Zijian's Sichuan travel expenses, and asked Zhou Zijian to take out a horse from the stable as a leg force.
Zhou Zijian pushed and gave in, and finally accepted the silver and horses.
Zhou Zijian changed into the dark green tights and white brocade robe given by Ximen Kuanghui today, and for some reason he was a little depressed today.
Ximen Kuanghui and Ximen Zairen kept sending Zhou Zijian to the outside of Zhuangzi. Along the way, Ximen Kuanghui, Ximen Zailen, and Zhou Zijian were all silent.
When the three of them walked to the intersection of the official road, Zhou Zijian hugged his fists at Ximen Kuanghui and Ximen Zairen and said: "Please stay, you two, I'm going on the road." The great kindness of the owner is unforgettable. The green mountains do not change, and the green water flows forever. He has been in his years and months, and if he meets again, he will be rewarded. ā
Ximen Kuanghui smiled and said, "Zhou Daxia, it's too polite. These small favors are not enough to worry about, so don't keep them in mind. I wish you a smooth journey and an early return to Kongtong. ā
Zhou Zijian was just about to turn over and get on the horse, but suddenly remembered something, turned around and came to Ximen Kuanghui, bowed respectfully, and asked, "May I ask the owner of Ximen Village, have you ever seen Zhang Tianlei?"
Ximen Kuanghui smiled indifferently and nodded: "I have indeed seen it." ā
Zhou Zijian's eyes lit up: "Where are the others now?"
Ximen Kuanghui said lightly: "He has been dead for many years, and he is buried under this Laojun Pavilion. ā
Zhou Zijian nodded and turned around to leave.
I only heard Ximen Kuanghui behind him say: "Zhou Daxia, please stay." I have something and I want you to take it with you. Maybe someone can use it. ā
Ximen Kuanghui waved his hand, and Ximen Zairen took out a book from his arms, stepped forward and handed it to Zhou Zijian.
Zhou Zijian took the book with both hands and looked at it carefully. I saw that the words "Divine Fire Minutes" were written on the cover.
Zhou Zijian showed a trace of panic on his face, and finally nodded gratefully at Ximen Kuanghui.
Ximen Kuanghui also smiled and nodded at him, but did not speak.
Zhou Zijian put away the "Divine Fire Minutes", once again respectfully saluted the master and servant of Ximen, then turned over and rode along the official road to the northwest.
Ximen Kuanghui looked at Zhou Zijian's back from afar, until he couldn't see it, and then muttered to himself: "He's finally gone." ā
Ximen Zairen's eyebrows were raised and asked, "Zhuang Master, why didn't you say it this week?"
Ximen Kuanghui sighed and said, "If he wants to say it, he will naturally say it." If he doesn't say it, it means that he doesn't want to say it. Why should we force it? ā
Simon Jae-in asked softly, "Will he resent you in the future?"
Ximen Kuanghui said with a solemn expression: "If he hates me, I can't help it." I wish he could live an easy and free life. It's just that all this is providential, and we can't choose. ā
Yangzhou City is very quiet these days. Since Shangguan Yunfei was injured, Feiyun Island soon sent someone to take him back. And Luoniaolin also sent someone to repair the book and summoned Zhuge Qingyi back. Not long after, Kangxi issued a secret decree to Murong Jielie, asking him to return to the capital as soon as possible, and he had secrets to do.
Murong Jielie was indignant in his heart, but there was a decree from the saint, so he had to hurry back to the capital. Before leaving, Murong Jielie went to the yamen of Yangzhou prefect to visit Liu Jingxuan.
"Lord Liu, I'm here to say goodbye to you. ā
Liu Jingxuan was reluctant and asked, "Lord Murong, are you leaving Yangzhou?"
Murong Jielie smiled bitterly: "Yes." I have something important to go back to the capital, so I came to bid farewell to Lord Liu. Before leaving, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?"
Liu Jingxuan looked solemn and said, "Lord Murong, you have something to say in person. ā
Murong Jielie's face sank like water, and he said: "This Chu Jinglian is cunning, and there are two princes behind him, I am afraid that this Yangzhou City will not be peaceful in the future." So you have to be careful, Lord Yanagi.
Liu Jingxuan nodded heavily and said, "The lower official has written it down." Lord Murong take care all the way. ā
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Murong Jielie got up to say goodbye.
Liu Jingxuan has been sending Murong Jielie out of the Yangzhou Mansion.
Seeing Murong Jielie walking away, a person hurried to the mansion. When the visitor approached, Liu Jingxuan looked at the visitor, and the visitor also looked at Liu Jingxuan.
Liu Jingxuan frowned and asked, "Is there something wrong with you?"
The visitor hesitated and asked, "Are you Lord Yoo Kyung-sun?"
Liu Jingxuan nodded slightly and said, "It's this official, why do you want to see me?"
The person who came hurriedly hit a thousand with one leg: "The lowly Li Lianqi see the adult." This is a handwritten letter from Lord Zhang, the governor of the river, for your Excellency. With that, he handed over a letter with both hands.
Liu Jingxuan took it and looked at it carefully, and the cover of the letter read: Lord Liu, the prefect, personally opened.
Liu Jingxuan hurriedly mixed his hands and said, "Since it is a mission, please discuss it in detail in the government." ā
The two walked into the mansion and came to the head hall.
Liu Jingxuan opened the letter, and then saw that it was an urgent official letter, which read: To Lord Liu, the prefect of Yangzhou, because since August, Jiangsu, Anhui, and Henan have had rainfall, and there are many overflowing embankments in the rivers in various places, so I specially invite you to come to Hongze to discuss the matter of river control. Zhang Pengxi's pen. ā
Liu Jingxuan went to the back hall to find Xiao Rang and handed the official letter to Xiao Rang: "Mr. Xiao, this matter is urgent. And this official is gone, and he may not be able to come back for a while. After I left, all matters of the prefect's yamen were decided by the gentleman. If the gentleman encounters something difficult to decide, he can send someone to Hongze to inform the official and then discuss. ā
Xiao Rang glanced at the official letter, and then returned it to Liu Jingxuan, and said with worry: "My lord, at this moment, the water of the Yellow River is soaring, and the embankment may burst at any time. Your journey is dangerous. This treatment of the river has nothing to do with adults, so it's better to excuse yourself from illness. ā
Liu Jingxuan nodded: "What Mr. said is true." I don't know. It's just that Governor Zhang is on the front line, how can I, the little prefect of Yangzhou, retreat. I believe that Ji people have their own natural appearance. This official has never done anything wrong, is it true that God is so short-sighted that he can't take me in?"
Xiao Rang saw that Liu Jingxuan had made up his mind, and it was inconvenient to be reluctant, so he said earnestly: "My lord, be careful." I must come back safely!"
Liu Jingxuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, I will definitely come back safely." Nangong Huangyun, come back and tell him to stay in Yangzhou and don't stab Lou Zi for me. ā
Xiao Rang smiled bitterly and nodded.
Liu Jingxuan hurriedly returned the book to Zhang Pengxi, and gave Li Lianqi ten taels of silver.
The reply reads: "Your Excellency the Governor, after receiving your lordship's instructions, the next official will immediately rush to Hongze. Worship and worship. ā
Liu Jingxuan made another arrangement in the government office, and then rushed to Hongze Lake on horseback.
