Chapter 86
Meng Yu smiled: "Okay, it's getting late, we have to hurry up and take a look, maybe we can find a place to stay in the dark." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Bai Yuxiao also felt reasonable, and the two returned to the main road and continued to walk east.
After walking for half an hour, the night was dark.
The two also found an inn before dark.
When I walked into the inn, I found that there were not many guests in the inn, so the two sat at a table and ordered some wine and food.
The innkeeper looked at the clothes, and couldn't help but wonder if the two had the money to pay the bill, and said coldly: "Our inn has rules, you have to pay first and then serve the food." ”
Meng Yu and Bai Yuxiao dug into their bodies, and they didn't take out a penny for a while.
The shopkeeper who was watching from the sidelines, looking at their appearance, knew that he must have no money on them, and snorted coldly: "You two have no money to eat?"
Meng Yu thought for a while and smiled: "How could it not be." He stretched out his hand and touched Bai Yuxiao's body.
"What do you want to do?" Bai Yuxiao covered his chest.
Meng Yu smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in you." ”
"And you're still touching me for a while?"
"I'm looking for something of value. ”
"If you say something, I'll find it myself. ”
Meng Yu smiled: "The jade flute on your body." ”
"Jade flute?" Bai Yuxiao touched his body, and sure enough, he found a mutton fat white jade flute carved with dragon and phoenix patterns in his arms.
"This is what you're looking for?"
Meng Yu smiled: "That's right, give it to me." He snatched the jade flute from Bai Yuxiao's hand and placed it on the table.
"This jade flute is worth a thousand gold, enough to buy your inn ten times, quickly send us wine and food. ”
The innkeeper saw that the jade flute was round and flawless, beautifully decorated, and knew that it was worth a lot, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"I wonder what you two want to eat?"
"Even if good wine and food are delivered, are you afraid that I won't be able to pay the bill?"
"Okay, I'll call someone to serve the two of you right away. He reached out to get the jade flute on the table.
But Bai Yuxiao took it.
The shopkeeper's face changed, and he said coldly: "What does this guest officer mean?"
Meng Yu stretched out his hand to Bai Yuxiao and said, "Give me the jade flute." ”
"If you don't give it, I can't give this jade flute to someone else. ”
"That jade flute was just what I put on you, you hand it over quickly. ”
"Even if it's yours, I can't give it to anyone else. ”
Meng Yu only said that Bai Yuxiao would have no feeling for this jade flute if he lost his memory, but now seeing his reaction like this, he asked anxiously, "Did you remember something?"
Bai Yuxiao shook his head and said, "I didn't think of anything." ”
"Then why don't you give me the jade flute?" Meng Yu was surprised.
"Because I heard Yu Xiao's cry just now. ”
Meng Yuqi said: "Crying?"
"I just heard this jade flute crying and saying, don't give it to others. ”
Meng Yu was shocked, of course he knew that it was impossible for the jade flute to speak and cry, and Bai Yuxiao said this, which showed that this jade flute was very important to him, even if he had lost his memory at this time, he would inevitably have a familiar feeling with this jade flute.
The shopkeeper was waiting, and seeing that they hadn't made a decision yet, he couldn't help urging: "Do you two want to eat, if you don't eat, please leave the shop, there are still guests waiting behind." ”
At this time, there are more than a dozen tables in the inn, but there are only two tables of guests, so how can it be the turn to sit at this table. Meng Yu knew that the shopkeeper was under the eviction order.
Even though he was a beggar, he didn't want to sleep in the grass hungry.
Meng Yu smiled: "Eat, why don't you eat." ”
"Then please pay first. ”
Meng Yu saw that Bai Yuxiao was still holding Yuxiao, so he leaned over to his ear and muttered a few times.
I don't know what Meng Yu said, but after hearing it, Bai Yuxiao's face was happy. gave the jade flute to Meng Yu.
Meng Yu shook in front of the shopkeeper's eyes.
"Send me good wine and food, prepare two more upper rooms for me, and get the bath water, and get clothes, and tomorrow morning I will match two good horses for the two of us, and prepare some dry food, and give me two packets of a hundred taels of silver, and this jade flute will belong to you." ”
The shopkeeper took the jade flute and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you two, I will do what you say." ”
Of course he will do it, even if he gives this inn to the two of them again, he is willing to do it.
When the shopkeeper left with the jade flute, Bai Yuxiao asked, "Are you really going to take the jade flute back?"
Meng Yu smiled: "Of course, now I'll talk about it when I'm full." ”
After a while, Xiao Er brought wine and food.
Bai Yuxiao and Meng Yu were already hungry after tossing in the woods during the day, so as soon as the wine and food came up, the two didn't even bother to use chopsticks, grabbed the chicken with their hands and stuffed it into their mouths. It looks like a hungry ghost from hell or a beggar on the street.
But Meng Yu is a beggar, and it doesn't matter if he looks like it or not.
The two of them were eating vigorously when they overheard two guests chatting at the next table.
I only heard one person: "Longxing Mansion is only afraid that it will be attacked by the Mongols in three days." ”
Another said: "I don't think I can hold it for two days." ”
"Although the Yuan army is huge, the walls of Longxing Mansion are strong, coupled with the unity of the soldiers and civilians in the city, and the righteous people from all over the world are rushing to help, how can they not hold it for three days?"
"Alas, do you know that at this time, Longxing Mansion has been surrounded by the Yuan army, and the city has been out of food for several days, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city are only afraid that they are hungry and fighting with the Yuan soldiers who are alive and well, and I say that it is an overestimate to be able to hold it for two days. ”
"Longxing Mansion is an important military town, how can there be a shortage of grain and grass?"
"Do you know that after Jia Rudao withdrew tens of thousands of soldiers, he took away the grain and grass in Longxing Mansion together, and the grains were not left to the soldiers who insisted on staying to resist the enemy, if it weren't for the people in the city to take out the grain reserves to help the Song army defending the city, I am afraid that those Song troops were not killed by the Yuan army, but were starved to death. ”
"Alas, in this way, it would be in vain to hold on for two more days, and sooner or later the Longxing Mansion would be broken, and according to the rules of the Mongols, the people left in the city were only afraid of another bloody massacre. ”
"Of course, in the past few days when the Mongols attacked Longxing Mansion, they suffered heavy casualties, so they naturally had to take revenge. In the past five years after the destruction of Xiangyang City, the Mongols went south, and every time they captured a city, they slaughtered the city, and the people of Longxing Mansion naturally could not escape this fate. ”
"Speaking of Xiangyang City, compared with the dog officials who surrendered in Kaicheng, Guo Jing, who defended the city and sacrificed his life, is extraordinarily chivalrous and loyal, which is lamentable. ”
With that, the two drank a few glasses of wine.
"Guo Daxia is indeed loyal, Wen Daxia, as the leader of the righteous army, is also a hero and respectable, he led thousands of righteous soldiers, and now in Longxing Mansion, there is a great tendency to live and die with the city. ”
"Oh, the Wen hero you are talking about is the Wen Shijie Wen hero who has been missing for more than a month?"
"That's right, it's him. ”
"Hasn't he been missing for more than a month, why is he running out again now?"
"Haven't you heard of the legends on the rivers and lakes?"
"I'm not a person from the rivers and lakes, but I'm just a businessman, how can I know about those strange things in the rivers and lakes. ”
"Then you are a businessman, don't you know that the rich Jia side belongs to Yunzhuang Zhuang to advocate Tianze. ”
"How can you not know that he will send people south to Qiongzhou every winter to buy fresh vegetables with me, but unfortunately recently I heard that the owner of Guiyunzhuang is dead, and Guiyunzhuang is also occupied by the Yuan soldiers. Yuan Bing searched Zhang Tianze's treasure from the village, and it was actually full of ten cars, but what does this have to do with Wen Shijie and Wen Daxia's disappearance for a month?"
The two drank a few glasses of wine.
This has to start from a month ago, Wen Shijie found out that the Yuan army was building ships in Chaohu Lake, and wanted to cross the river to the south, so he wanted to lead the righteous people to cross the river and burn those ships under construction. However, the Yuan army blockaded the river bank very strongly, if there were too many people who went, they were afraid that they would be discovered, and if they went few, they were afraid that if they did not burn a boat, they would be surrounded by the Yuan soldiers who were guarding, and they were afraid that they would not escape death. ”
"That's right. ”
So Wen Shijie crossed the river to Jiangbei alone, wanting to invite heroes from all walks of life in Jiangbei to do this righteous thing. ”
"Could it be that after he crossed the river, he went to Guiyun Zhuangzhuang to advocate Tianze?"
That's right, he wants to use Zhang Tianze's human and financial resources in Jiangbei to send out invitations soon and gather heroes from all walks of life. ”
"But I don't know which heroes in Jiangbei were invited?"
There are the four tigers of Taihang Mountain, Huaizhong's "benevolent killer" Zhang Shixian, the mandarin duck double hero Bai Hong Lanying and his wife, the "copper-headed iron belly" Liu Changfa, plus the Longmen faction, Luoyang Golden Daomen, Dongting Lake Sujiazhuang, Shaolin, and the masters of the beggar gang, a total of thousands of people. ”
Although the merchant didn't know anything about the rivers and lakes, he had heard of the big gangs, and sighed at this time: "In this way, wouldn't it be a big deal?"
"With so many masters, if they go together to attack the warship that burned Chaohu, how can they not succeed.
"Could it be that something has changed?"
"That's right, Naguiyun Zhuang Zhuang advocated that Tianze had actually defected to the Mongols a long time ago, and after Wen Shijie wrote the invitation himself, he fascinated Wen Shijie and locked him in a hidden place. He also sent out invitations, and together with the Mongols, they wanted to kill all the heroes who had been invited. ”
"Then those who are invited to return to Yunzhuang are not dead. ”
"I was destined to die, but a teenager ran out of nowhere, and he actually mixed it up and rescued Wen Shijie. But the other thousands of martial arts righteous soldiers were escorted to the Luzhou prison by the Yuan army. ”
The merchant smiled: "It should be Woniu Village!"
The man wondered, "How do you know?"
"I don't know about Guiyunzhuang, but the matter of Woniuzhai is very loud, and Boyan dispatched tens of thousands of soldiers to chase and hang those escaped martial arts warriors, and the world knows it. ”
"Now that you know, I don't have to say more. After the hero of Wen Shijie Wen escaped from Yunzhuang, he crossed the river and returned to Jiangnan to continue to lead the righteous army to resist the Yuan soldiers. And his daughter Wen Yingying had led hundreds of people who dared to die a few days ago, crossing the river in the middle of the night, and with the cooperation of the righteous soldiers of Jiangbei, she successfully burned the warship built in Chaohu. ”
The merchant said, "The Mongols have burned their ships, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to cross the river to the south again, and the north is no longer a threat." But why did the Song court still transfer tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from Longxing Mansion, didn't they know that once Longxing Mansion was lost, the gate of Lin'an City would be opened, and the Mongolian cavalry would be able to move under the city within three days, and wouldn't the emperor repeat the shame of Jingkang at that time?"
"Do you know that after the warships of the Yuan army were burned, they attracted the robbers of the East China Sea, the boat gang of Huang Huai, gathered thousands of big ships, and prepared to cross the river to the south. ”
The merchant laughed and said, "The Song army has strong warships and well-equipped sailors. The robbers' boats were afraid that they would be knocked into the river, and the soldiers on the ships had to feed Wang Ba to Luo. ”
Meng Yu has been listening carefully, and his heart is constantly frightened. Hearing this, I couldn't help but wonder in my heart. As the generalissimo of the Mengyuan soldiers and horses, Boyan's strategy can be seen in general, how could he easily let the Yuan soldiers cross the river on the boat of the robbers?
I just heard the two men talk again.
I only listened to the man: "Jia Rudao transferred tens of thousands of soldiers from Longxing Mansion and ordered them to go to Dingjiazhou to prepare to meet the Yuan army crossing the river." And some loyal ministers in the court and the central government impeached the emperor for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, wanted to gather all the soldiers in Dingjiazhou, and wanted to bury more than 100,000 soldiers of the Song army in the river. “
The merchant exclaimed: "Jia Rudao has the power of the army at this time, if he has really surrendered to the enemy, the Yuan soldiers are afraid that they can wipe out the hundreds of thousands of Song troops gathered in Dingjiazhou by rowing a canoe." ”
"Isn't it? ”
The merchant sighed: "The traitor who sits back and relaxes, the soldier who was born and died, how can the Song family not die." ”
