Ye Mu woke up, and it was almost noon the next day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing him wake up, Mrs. Dongying served the meal, it was still hot, and she had the intention to let Ye Mu sleep for a while, and she was afraid that he would wake up hungry, so she specially reserved a portion for him, Mrs. Dongying and the three of them sat quietly on the table to watch Ye Mu's rice, patiently waiting for Ye Mu to finish the meal one bite at a time, Ruyin started to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Ye Mu and Mrs. Dongying and Shan Wanjing talked, when they learned that the boat had arrived at the Huai River, they remembered another thing in their hearts, and immediately said goodbye to Mrs. Dongying and got off the boat.
Mrs. Dongying knew that he had something important, so she didn't stay long, and pulled Shan Wanjing, who was unhappy and wanted to make trouble, in her hand to comfort Ye Mu, so that Ye Mu could leave with peace of mind.
got off the boat, Ye Mu hurried to Xingyang, according to Shuanglong, they met Li Jing and Su Su last year, this time this year, if there is no change, Li Mi will successfully take Xingluocang, and then return to Xingyang to ask Zhai Rang for reward, Su Su was sent into the ...... by Zhai Rang at that time Now that Xingluo Cang is in danger, Wang Bodang may return to Xingyang at any time, Ye Mu must arrive one step earlier and make arrangements if he wants to prevent this from happening.
Along the way, there were Sui soldiers everywhere and the Wagang army with the name of the Pushan Battalion, and some places were stained with blood, and they have not been washed away by the rain until now, obviously because of the war that happened in the past few days. Ye Mu had no time to take care of these tragic situations, so he rushed all the way, and finally arrived outside Xingyang City at noon on the third day.
Walking under the pass, a majestic momentum, without Ye Muduo's attention, has been quietly planted in the heart, as the first anti-Sui uprising force, located in a dangerous position, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the city wall is high and thick, the city gate is heavily guarded, it can be described as impregnable.
I couldn't wait to enter the city after dark, carefully pretending to be a study tour, making a timid mouse, chanting the way of Confucius and Mencius, and successfully entering the city gate.
Entering the city, it is as if entering another world from one world, and the city wall of dozens of meters blocks the war, death, etc. outside the city, and the city is prosperous.
Today's mansion is the original Xingyang Taishou Mansion, Zhai Rang is afraid of Zhang Xutuo's martial arts, dare not look directly at its edge, Li Mi asked for his life to fight, and finally defeated Zhang Xutuo, won Xingyang, severely frustrated the Sui army's spirit, its own fame in the world, for a time overshadowed Du Fuwei and the rebel army from all walks of life, although it expanded the strength and territory for the Wagang army, but it was for Li Mi to replace Zhai Rang laid the groundwork, after Li Mi took Xingyang, the former Taishou Mansion became the dragon's head mansion, became Zhai Rang's residence.
Coincidentally, before Ye Muxing arrived at Zhai's mansion, he was recruiting handymen in the mansion. Ye Mu was unfamiliar with his life, and he was worried about how to get in, so when he saw the opportunity, he changed the clothes on his head and became a young and strong guy, restrained his spirit, and was no different from ordinary people, and joined the team that went to apply.
Zhang Li looked at the long queue at the door, smiled with satisfaction, his eyes swept from the crowd of people who were tall, tall, thin, old and young, and said casually:
"This government wants to recruit guys who dive and chop wood. Come, and the able-bodied, and let the rest go. ”
As soon as the words came out, the people below looked at each other and whispered for a while, but after all, no one walked out of the team.
Zhang Li frowned a little embarrassed and thought for a moment, then smiled comfortably at the corner of his mouth, pointed to a stone pier at the door again and said:
"Come down, in the first round of screening, those who can move this stone pier will be considered passed. ”
"Let's go. ”
The long line looked at the stone pier that was three hundred pounds in tow, and was dumbfounded for a while, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to obediently lift the stone pier in turn. After a circle, less than ten people passed. Ye Mu happened to pass "with difficulty", although he was slender, he was fooled by on the grounds that he was born with great strength.
For the rest of the people, Zhang Li is much easier to choose, remove the strange shapes, and leave those who are willing to be filial. Ye Mu secretly stuffed half a tael of silver to Zhang Li, and he was also among them, and there were only four people around him at this time.
After entering Zhai's Mansion and arranging his residence, Ye Mu began to familiarize himself with the terrain inside and outside.
"You, it's you, come here, your daily task from now on is to chop ten loads of firewood and fill the water tank. ”
As soon as I walked into a yard that looked a little cluttered, I was stopped. Moreover, wasn't that person the one who beckoned him in? He followed Zhang Li's gesture and walked over, and finally stopped in front of a pile of thick bowls of firewood, and saw Zhang Li's hand pointing to several large water tanks on the other side.
"I" Seeing the amount of this impossible task, Ye Mu subconsciously pointed to himself.
"It's not you, is it still me who can't do it. Zhang Li's face twitched and said impatiently.
"Zhang Li" Ye Mu remembered this person, it was the dogleg of Zhai Jiao, the eldest lady of Zhai Mansion, who was played by Shuanglong pretending to be Zhai Rang's secret master.
Ye Mu saw that there was no one around, and suddenly the whole person was shocked, exuding momentum, looking at Zhang Li and smiling:
"You've got to do it. ”
"You have to memorize, chop the wood, fill the water, and write down my name. Otherwise......" said as he split a piece of wood into several petals with one palm, "and you are ready to bloom!"
"Who are you?" Seeing that the other party was masterful, Zhang Li exclaimed unconsciously.
"Lao Tzu is a master sent by the big dragon head to secretly protect the safety of Zhai Mansion and the safety of the eldest lady. What you see and hear today, don't keep it strictly secret, the big dragon doesn't want anyone to know, if you dare to leak half a point, your head will fall to the ground immediately. Do you know?" Ye Mu said proudly as he looked at Zhang Li.
When Zhang Li heard the big dragon head sending, he lost his temper at that time, and quickly said "yes", and left with a smiling face, but cold sweat broke out in his clothes.
Successfully dismissed Zhang Li, and by the way, all work was dispensed, and Ye Mu could carry out his plan to find someone with peace of mind.
Night was approaching, Ye Mu was looking for someone to pass by a quiet and uninhabited hall, and suddenly a strong voice came:
"Who is Your Excellency?"
A figure flew out of the hall and came close to Ye Mu.
The person who came had a dry red complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a slightly stiff face, and was wearing a brocade robe, which was not an ordinary person.
"Zhai Rang" Ye Mu saw the person who came, felt the strong momentum on his body, and already made a conclusion in his heart, especially although the momentum on the other party's body was strong, there was a faint decline in it, as if it was strong on the outside and dry in the middle. Ye Mu concluded that she was asking Li Mi to set a trap and Zhai Rang after being seriously injured.
"Master, I'm a new handyman in the house, not a person!" Ye Muzuo said in fear.
"Hehe" Zhai Rang smiled when he heard this:
"Although you are dressed like an ordinary person, and your breath is as restrained as possible, your movements between walks have the charm of a martial arts practitioner, and you can't fake it, and when you see me, you don't even bow down like ordinary people, obviously an arrogant person, how can it be just a little handyman? Say, who sent you?" Zhai Rang's whole body suddenly became fierce, staring at Ye Mu like a tiger biting its prey.
"Big dragon head, really good eyesight. Seeing that he was recognized, Ye Mu simply no longer concealed it, and said generously, "I didn't send anyone here, I just want to find someone in your mansion, and if you find someone, you can leave." I also hope that the big faucet will be convenient. ”
"Your Excellency really thinks that you can pass through Xingyang City unimpeded?" Zhai Rang smiled.
"Naturally, there is no pride in the big dragon head to assassinate Li Mi alone, I just want to find the person I am looking for and retreat safely. Ye Mu's face did not change, and he said slowly.
"Assassinate Li Mi" Zhai Rang heard these words, his heart was as if he remembered thunder, and the whole person was shocked, this matter should be known by himself, Li Mi's side of the people know, even his own henchmen don't know, if this person is not Li Mi's person, where did he know it, his face immediately became hideous, and he was about to make a move.
