Chapter Twenty-Nine: Wangling Road

Su Bingnan persuaded Peng Cheng not to worry and turned the topic to the poetry meeting two days later. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This poetry meeting was specially held in advance by Liang Quanneng for his new concubine Qiao Xiaoqiao.

The venue of the poetry meeting is mainly divided into two parts, one is the opera stage with a long history, and the other is the swallow building that Liang Quanneng specially renovated in order to please Qiao Xiaoqiao.

In order to show his own fun with the people, Liang Quanneng opened the Hippodrome and Wangling Street between the two, and ordinary people could also join in the fun, while the Swallow Tower was open for the invited magnates.

After listening to Su Bingnan's story, Peng Cheng said, "Then what should we do?"

Su Bingnan smiled and took out something and unfolded it flat.

It was a human skin mask, the heavenly mask of the Vientiane Palace.

The Vientiane Palace is a group of extremely mysterious organizations in the rivers and lakes, they do not have many members, act strangely, and ignore many miscellaneous matters in the rivers and lakes. All their minds are on some strange tricks.

This heavenly mask of the Vientiane Palace was given to Su Bingnan by them.

When Peng Cheng saw this mask, he was surprised and said, "Do you want to disguise yourself as someone else?"

Su Bingnan shook his head and said, "No, I want you to disguise yourself as me." ”

Peng Cheng's bone shrinking skills are far from reaching the point of profundity, and only by relying on the help of the Tianpin mask can he unconsciously pretend to be Su Bingnan's appearance.

Peng Cheng suddenly realized: "Wonderful! Let me attract their attention, and you can take the opportunity to leave." ”

"Whoever said I was leaving, I also wanted to see the event. Su Bingnan said.

Peng Cheng frowned and said, "In this way, the adult will be in danger, and besides, someone may recognize the adult." ”

Su Bingnan stood up, and as he stood up, a slight sound sounded, it was the crunch of bones.

Su Bingnan's height became shorter, and he soon became only the same size as Wang Tianya.

"Can they still recognize me?" Su Bingnan's momentum changed, imitating Wang Tianya's usual demeanor, vividly.

"But the adult's face ......," Peng Cheng was still a little uneasy.

Su Bingnan returned to his original appearance and said with a smile: "Face is a trivial matter, you know, for women, whether they are dressed up or not, it is completely two faces." They are all masters of disguise, although I am not very good, but I have learned the bone shrinking skill, as long as it is not too long, the facial bones can also be changed a little. ”

Peng Cheng hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay." Do as your adults tell you. ”

The two discussed some details and finally made a decision, and the poetry meeting two days later was accompanied by Peng Cheng in the appearance of Su Bingnan, and Su Bingnan acted as a small servant beside him.

Fortunately, they had plenty of time to prepare, and Peng Cheng had to prepare a potion to cover the skin on his neck and hands. Su Bingnan must also be prepared not to be seen through by others.

After the discussion was complete, Su Bingnan got up and prepared to leave.

"Pengcheng is no longer important, there is no need for you to stay here anymore. After returning to Beijing this time, things may change a lot. After the poetry meeting, you can go with me. Su Bingnan said.

Peng Cheng nodded: "Everything is at your disposal." ”

His expression was a little complicated, as if he was relieved that some of the expectations of the years had finally come to fruition.

Su Bingnan left and returned to the post station to wait for the upcoming poetry meeting.

It's all coming.

......

......

Time flies, and it is two days later.

Pengcheng has become more lively than ever, and the flow of people in the area of Ximatai and Swallow Tower has increased dramatically.

Especially on Wangling Road, the flow of people can really be regarded as bustling and endless.

Wangling Road is a famous street in Pengcheng, from east to west, it connects Ximatai and Yanzilou.

The origin of the name of Wangling Road is also related to the history of 300 years ago.

Three hundred years ago, this area of Xuzhou was a battleground for the former Chu State and Dahao to repeatedly see-saw. At that time, Da Chu was already struggling to breathe, although he occupied the important place of Pengcheng, but in terms of strength, it was completely weaker than Dahao.

Xuzhou was the last obstacle to Dahao Dingding Central Plains at that time, and Pengcheng can also be said to be the last ray of life of Dachu. Around Xuzhou, especially around Pengcheng, the price paid by both countries is extremely heavy.

At that time, although Da Chu was tired and his national strength was weak, there were still two people who could be said to be the last hope.

They are the Taoli duo known as the Great Chu Shuangbi.

Tao Zuobo was the military general who commanded the entire army of Great Chu, and Li Cangwu was a civil official who was the head of the hundred officials.

When the Chu State was in turmoil, the two turned the tide and struggled to deal with the growing Dahao.

Tao Zuobo was extremely capable of leading the army, and under the situation at that time, Da Chu was no longer able to have a large-scale frontal decisive battle with Da Hao, so he could only rely on the city to defend himself.

It's just that the general trend is not subject to personal will, and no matter how talented Tao Li and Li are, they can't change the final result.

In the territory of Chu, people's minds have changed, and the reason why Great Chu has fallen to such a point is completely self-inflicted.

Many capable people who were originally in the territory of Chu left one after another and went to Dahao to display their talents, believing that Dahao, who respected talents, was the king of the world.

Among them, there was a person who was originally not reused in the Chu State and was called Wang Ling, who could not bear the darkness of the Chu State, and resolutely devoted himself to Dahao, and became a member of Dahao in a short period of time.

After Tao Zuobo found out, he wanted Wang Ling to betray and return to Great Chu. He arrested Wang Ling's mother to Pengcheng and asked her to persuade Wang Ling to return to Chu or be executed.

The queen mother secretly sent a letter to her son in advance, so that Wang Ling would not change his true heart.

At that time, Wang Ling led a large army to attack Pengcheng, and Tao Zuobo captured his mother at the head of the city and tried to break his will. Unexpectedly, the queen mother took advantage of the unpreparedness and jumped down from the city and died on the spot.

When Emperor Wai of Chu learned about this, he was very angry, and personally issued an order to cook the body of the queen mother at the south gate of Pengcheng for three days and three nights, and then put the big iron pot on the bones of the queen mother, thinking that the Wang family would never see the light of day.

Under the grief of Wang Ling, he became more resentful of the Chu State and fought more heroically.

A few years later, no matter how much Tao Zuobo tries to maintain it, it will be difficult to cook without rice. Pengcheng was finally lost and breached by the royal tomb, and the state of Chu also ushered in the final sad song.

When Wang Ling returned to Pengcheng, he walked out of the south gate and fell to his knees, climbed more than two miles to his mother's tomb and wept bitterly.

Later generations built a road where the royal tomb climbed, which is this royal tomb road.

Now, the Wangling Road in the evening is not as heavy as it is in history, the streets are full of people, the lights have been lit on both sides, and the people who look like scholars on the paving linger, guess the lantern riddles, and sometimes chant poems with like-minded people on the side, and then praise each other.

If you look a little closer, you can see that most of the scholars' robes are a little old, and some have even been patched with fabrics of similar colors.

Their complexions are not ruddy, and some of them still have vegetable complexions, and their gait is vain.

There is no way, many of them may have been Chinese families, but the price of food in Pengcheng is too expensive, resulting in the continuous expenditure of the family's belongings. Whenever they were strapped for money, they had to exchange some robes made of the finest materials for some silver, which was a last resort.

Participating in the poetry meeting, they actually have some thoughts, in order to try their luck.

They have fame, but they are not enough to be officials, and this poetry meeting, Xuzhou's well-known characters will basically come. Not to mention that he can enter the eyes of Liang Almighty, a parent official, even if any big man favors him, it is also a thing worth rejoicing.

......

Wangling Road.

Peng Cheng was dressed in a green robe, with an ordinary long sword hanging from his waist, the corners of his mouth were upturned, and he smiled at the showdown on both sides of Wangling Street, stopping from time to time and lingering for a while.

Su Bingnan was dressed as a small girl, wearing wide-waisted trousers and a leg belt. Closely followed behind Peng Cheng.

From anyone's point of view, the tall Peng Cheng is a handsome son, and the person behind him is just an ordinary little guy.

The appearance of the two, unless an acquaintance comes, no one will think that they are a different appearance under their faces.

In this way, the two stopped and came to the stage first.

Suddenly, Peng Cheng stopped.

Su Bingnan saw that it was Xiao Haitang and the servants of the Xiao family who were coming.
