Chapter 22: The Stamens
"One hundred thousand taels of silver, that's nearly one-tenth of the tax ...... in Shu"
"No, I can't. "The more Xu Jing thinks about it, the more terrifying it becomes, although he was reused by Meng Chang through his sister's relationship, but he cares about Shuzhong in his heart, how can he be hasty with such a big matter.
Xu Jing paced back and forth, at first he thought of going to the king, but if he knew, His Highness's position would be unstable, and it would affect his sister.
"I'll see if my sister can persuade Her Highness to return. Xu Jing walked quickly to the backyard of the Shizi Mansion.
This place was originally where Meng Chang's concubine was, and ordinary people and men were not allowed to approach, but Xu Jing relied on his status as a sister to come to the backyard and walk around.
After a while, Xu Jing came to a pavilion, under which flowers and trees surround him, and there is a small and unique pond in the center, attached to a rockery.
Xu Jingding looked over, but saw that the pavilion was very clean, few people came here, and suddenly heard a person chanting a poem: Huayin knows again, how can Bairui be born.
In a short time, a beautiful woman walked in front of the pavilion, and saw that she was born like a fairy, her skin shimmered with mutton fat, and her eyes trembled with a faint color like gold.
This person is Meng Chang's favorite princess Xu Feiyang, alias Mrs. Hua Rui.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Xu Feiyang looked at Xu Jing, frowned, and hurriedly ordered the maid to go down and welcome Xu Jing.
"How can I have time to come to my sister's place today?" Xu Feiyang walked down the pavilion, sat next to Xu Jing, and greeted enthusiastically.
"Don't hide it from my sister, I came to you for the sake of His Highness. Xu Jing took a sip of tea and said quickly: "This time, in order to rob and kill a person, His Highness did not hesitate to spend 100,000 taels of silver to invite the Nujiao Gang. ”
"There is such a thing!" Xu Feiyang was not angry about this, but showed a smile, and said: "Meng Chang has already changed as a person since he followed a Zhai Xin by his side, how can he care about this." ”
After a pause, he said, "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will handle it." ”
"Got it. Xu Jing nodded.
Chengdu Mansion, Linghua Building.
As one of the best fireworks places in Chengdu Mansion, ordinary people only know that there is a soul here, and few people know that this place is the rudder of the Flower Shifting Palace in Chengdu Mansion.
Xu Feiyang is the person in charge of the Chengdu Rudder Linghualou of the Shifting Flower Palace, even if he is married to Meng Chang, but this is only the Shifting Flower Palace asking him to collect intelligence to make this decision.
Linghualou, Xu Feiyang sat in a secret room, and then someone immediately came in, it was the ** of Linghualou, named Mohua, she entered the secret room alone, and said to Xu Feiyang: "I don't know if the flower stamen is here, I don't know what to order?"
"Mo Hua, over the years, I have seen everything you have done, it is very good. Xu Feiyang said: "I came here because I have one thing for you to handle." ”
"My lord just spoke. Mo Hua said.
Xu Feiyang didn't stay long, took out a piece of information, put it on the table, and said: "Mo Hua, here is all the information of the person you want to kill this time, remember, it must be solved before this person arrives in Dongting, otherwise there will be endless troubles." ”
"Yes. Mo Hua said respectfully.
When he looked up, Xu Feiyang had already left the secret passage of the secret room, and only left the information on the table in the secret room, Mo Hua took the information, opened it and took a closer look, and his hands couldn't help but tremble a little.
"Fifty thousand taels of silver. Mo Hua couldn't help but exclaim, to be able to make such a big move, how could the other party who wanted to assassinate him be an ordinary person.
However, in the face of 50,000 taels of silver, all the difficulties seemed to be clouds and smoke, and they were not worth mentioning.
Yangtze River, Three Gorges.
Lin Ziming and his entourage went out of Chengdu Mansion, walked the waterway for a day, and unconsciously arrived at the boundary of the Three Gorges, specifically the first time they entered Qutang Gorge, and the scenery was infinite.
According to ancient records, in the 700 miles of the Three Gorges, there are mountains on both sides of the river, and there is no place for it. Heavy rocks are stacked on top of each other, hiding the sky and the sun. Since midnight in the non-pavilion, there is no moon.
Therefore, Lin Ziming's boat branch to this place also slowed down, but it also happened to have time to enjoy the scenery along the way, which was not a fortunate thing.
"Big brother, this place is so beautiful, if you stay here for a long time, you will never get tired of it. Xiao Zhao cheered at Lin Ziming.
Lin Ziming said with a smile: "You can't live here for a long time, you don't see those wall apes, they can eat people, if you are not careful, they will become food in their mouths." ”
"It's scary. When Xiao Zhao heard what Lin Ziming said, he looked up at the ape jumping between the rock walls, shrunk his neck, and walked straight into the houseboat.
Lin Ziming shook his head, and was about to enter the houseboat, but he suddenly noticed an unusual aura, and when he turned around, he saw that it was a flower boat coming in front of him.
At this time, Tao Tianxing also seemed to feel this breath, walked out, looked at the flower boats coming in the opposite direction, and said, "The ships of the Flower Shifting Palace, how can they appear here?"
Shifting Flower Palace, it is rumored that there will be a mysterious palace ship in the rivers and lakes, but many martial arts people have explored several times, but they can't touch the slightest trace, and I heard that the people of Shifting Flower Palace are elegant and vulgar, cold and arrogant.
Now that Lin Ziming actually appeared in front of him, a flower boat from the Shifting Flower Palace appeared, and he couldn't help asking: "Elder Tao, the Shifting Flower Palace won't be coming for us, right?" ”
"It should be. Tao Tianxing nodded, in such a remote place, there are very few boats going back and forth in winter, and now the palace boat of the Shifting Flower Palace has appeared for no reason, not for his own group, and he will not come here elegantly.
"Let's go and see. Tao Tianxing said to Lin Ziming.
Immediately, Tao Tianxing and Lin Ziming jumped and landed on the palace boat.
"The two of you are so elegant, you actually came to the ship of my Flower Shifting Palace by yourself. ”
While speaking, a nobleman dressed beautifully, with a graceful demeanor and a folding fan in his hand, walked out, looked at Lin Ziming and Tao Tianxing, and said with a smile.
"Are you the flower without a flaw?" Lin Ziming looked at the person in front of him, except for a teenager who was raised by the two palace masters, all of them were women.
Hua Wufeng folded the fan and said with a smile: "If you are really well-informed, no wonder Mo Hua wants to send a master from the palace." ”
"So, the Shifting Flower Palace is going to kill people here. Lin Ziming said coldly.
Tao Tianxing set his eyes on the palace boat, and it seemed that there was a peerless master inside.
"Not bad. After Hua Wuqian finished speaking, he swung the folding fan, and five silver lights shot out from it, and then his figure flashed and shot out.
Lin Ziming was not good at holding up, so he naturally went all out, his figure flashed, avoiding the five silver needles, and then he met Hua Wuxi.
"Boom!"
The two palms clashed, and the spirit yuan leaked out, causing the river to burst open and splash everywhere.
Lin Ziming and Hua Wujian took a few steps back, and each stood on the branch on the rock wall, which shows that Hua Wuji's light skill is not weak, and when they fought just now, they were even more evenly matched, but they both knew very well in their hearts that this palm was just a temptation, not a performance of strength.
At this moment, Tao Tianxing slapped a palm suddenly, like a blood rainbow, and in an instant, he was about to destroy the flower boat, and a beautiful woman in palace clothes appeared on the boat of the Flower Palace, and suddenly used a palm, and actually moved Tao Tianxing's palm to the river.
"Transferring flowers and trees, it really lives up to its name. Tao Tianxing smiled.
