Ma Xiaoming said: "It's too early to talk about this, wait for the Jiangdu matter, let's sum it up in detail." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Xu Ziling also persuaded on the side: "In the past period of time, our martial arts have progressed very fast, and it is rare to have leisure now, not to be hunted down, we should stabilize our cultivation, so that after entering the palace, we will have a little more capital to save our lives." ”

Ma Xiaoming agreed: "Ziling is right, don't be fascinated by the prosperity of the moment, you know, the days will be long." ”

Kou Zhong touched his head embarrassedly: "The lesson of the eldest brother is that I am too anxious. ”

The three of them made some plans for entering the palace, and then they rested without mentioning it.

――――――

Jiangdu City, also known as Yangzhou, Guangling, Weiyang, etc., has a long history and brilliant culture. At the beginning, it was called Guangling, and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, wanted to build the capital in Guangling Linjiang, so it was called Jiangdu, but unfortunately as a military powerhouse, Jiangdu has been in constant war, and the name has changed many times. To the Great Sui, only to get the name of Yangzhou, the Tang Dynasty great poet Du Mu "sent Yangzhou Han Xuan Judge" is described in this way: the green mountains are hidden in the water, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered in autumn. On the moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges, where does the jade teach. It can be seen how prosperous Yangzhou City is.

"Such a prosperous city has also been ruined by that faint king. Looking at Yangzhou City, which was even more depressed than when he left, Kou Zhong said with mixed feelings. At this time, Ma Xiaoming and the others had already been taken into Yangzhou City by the carriage that had been arranged, and Xu had already opened the joint, and the soldiers guarding the city did not intercept the carriage when it entered the city.

"It's all the fault of the faint king, it's all to such a point, he still doesn't know how to repent, I just don't know what happened to my sister-in-law, whether she is still being bullied by the Feng family's eldest woman. Xu Ziling sighed.

Seeing Xu Ziling so dull, Kou Zhong immediately changed his tone and gave Xu Ziling confidence: "Sister-in-law Zhen will be fine, such a kind person, God will take care of her." ”

Before I could say more, Ma Xiaoming interrupted: "If you really take care of it, you won't be bullied before, Xiao Zhong, you must not have a fluke mentality about these things, believe in God's words, then there will not be so many people starving to death in this world, and Yang Guang, the 'Son of Heaven', will not come to this point." ”

Kou Zhong's spirit was shocked, and he thought carefully about what Ma Xiaoming said, and then Ma Xiaoming came with another dose of fierce medicine: "I believe in God's words, but I can't be the emperor." If you want to be the emperor, is it God who gave you a dream? Kou Zhong suddenly realized: "Brother Ma, what you said is right, you have to rely on yourself to fight for everything, and the heavens will not drop treasures for you." ”

Ma Xiaoming approvingly: "Yes, you practice hard this time to prepare for entering the palace, as for the matter of the sister-in-law, just wrap it up on me." ”

Xu Ziling immediately responded: "Then sister-in-law will ask Brother Ma to you, when you see sister-in-law Zhen, as long as you tell her, "Ziling entrusted me to come", she should trust you." ”

Hearing this, Kou Zhong next to him was a little angry: "Okay, dare to be affectionate in the eyes of sister-in-law Zhen, only you Xiaoling is a good person, am I a bad boy, how can I say that it is "Xiaozhong Xiaoling". ”

Seeing that they were arguing over such a simple sentence, Ma Xiaoming, who had always had little expression on his face, couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

――――――

"Take care, I'm here. Ma Xiaoming jumped out of the carriage, turned his back to Shuanglong, and waved his right hand to say goodbye.

Shuanglong saw that this big brother Ma who had been taking care of them left in a dashing manner, and he also felt a little sad in his heart, but when he thought of the task of entering the palace this time, he immediately cheered up and went to deal with Xiangyushan and Dugu Valve's gang.

――――――

There are five markets in Yangzhou, the most prosperous of which is the South Gate Market, according to the information obtained from Shuanglong, the steamed bun shop where Zhen's sister-in-law is located should be in the South Gate Market.

Ma Xiaoming rushed to the South Gate Market, looked left and right, and found no steamed bun shop. Thinking about it, the world is so chaotic nowadays that it is not surprising that even busy shops are forced to close.

I found a small shop selling vegetables and fruits at random, took out a few copper coins, bought a few fruits, and began to ask the shopkeeper: "Uncle, have you ever heard of a very famous steamed bun shop here?"

The shopkeeper looked up at Ma Xiaoming and replied, "Are you talking about the old Feng who sells steamed buns?"

I didn't expect the first person to ask to know, it seems that this vegetable and meat bun made by Lao Feng is really famous, and he said happily at the moment: "Exactly, I have two friends who are distant relatives of Lao Feng, it's not that the world is too chaotic and I can't survive in my hometown, so I came to him." ”

The old man sighed: "Alas, I'm afraid that your two friends will be disappointed." What do you think is a good situation here, it's not the same, now the soldiers are looting everywhere, and my last batch of fruits and vegetables has been robbed, and I am going to flee for my life. ”

Ma Xiaoming hurriedly asked: "What about Lao Fengren, where is his bun?"

The old man said: "My shop is the previous steamed bun shop, Lao Feng's steamed buns are so famous, he has been recruited into the palace as a cook, and there has been no news of them since then." ”

Hearing this answer, Ma Xiaoming wanted to scold, but he didn't expect to be a step too late, this is bad, if he enters the palace, Ma Xiaoming has no good way, relying on Shuanglong to rescue is afraid that it will affect their plan to deal with Yuwen Valve, it seems that they can only go back to Xiangyushan and them, but they were so cold to Xiangyushan before, I am afraid that the other party will not help.

――――――

Through some inquiries in the gambling stall, Xiang Yushan appeared in front of Ma Xiaoming again. However, at this time, Xiang Yushan's face no longer had the cautious look he had before, it must have something to do with a gray-clothed man beside him.

Xiang Yushan said lightly: "Didn't Brother Ma leave to act alone before, I don't know what to see now." ”

How can a person not bow his head under the eaves? Ma Xiaoming said: "I have important news to convey to Xiao Zhong Xiaoling, hoping to let me meet them." ”

Xiang Yushan was noncommittal: "I don't know what important news it is?" In fact, with Xiang Yushan's ingenuity, he had long understood that Ma Xiaoming didn't want to tell him the news, but now that he has been in Hedong for thirty years, and Hexi for thirty years, if he doesn't look at it, he really thinks that he is a person who can't be pinched in mud.

Ma Xiaoming held back his anger and said in a deep voice: "This involves Xiao Zhong Xiaoling's selfishness, I can't make an argument and tell others, I hope that Xiang Gongzi will make it convenient." ”

Xiang Yushan said "hey": "Brother Ma, it's really not that I won't let you meet, it's just to prevent Yuwen Valve from hindering Brother Kou and Brother Xu from entering the palace, Dugu Valve has already sent someone to send the two of them directly into the palace, and now I'm afraid I have already met the saint." After speaking, looking at Ma Xiaoming's sudden face, I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart. You must know that along the way, he tried every possible way to please and talk to this person, but this person has been extremely cold, looking like he is rejecting people thousands of miles away, and now he is not begging him.
