0135, meet on a narrow road
The Huaide Pavilion in the southwest of Song County, between the Bear's Ear Mountain and the Waifang Mountain, was built by Li Huaide, a hermit at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.
He was here to settle a house, devote himself to studying, and do good deeds.
Considering that the common people in the deep mountains crossed the mountains and crossed the mountains to the county seat to catch the market, and there was no place to stop on the way, Li Huaide built a pavilion, and later generations called this place Huaide Pavilion.
To say that the place of Waide Pavilion is not famous.
Even during the Warring States Period, King Han chose Feng Shui to build a mausoleum here, and later Wang Mang rebelled and once built a city here to garrison soldiers. It hasn't been a big name here.
This place became famous overnight, and the hero was Cao Cao.
He waged a chaotic war here back then, leaving behind a treacherous "good name", and it was passed down to future generations, and this place became famous all of a sudden.
The allusion of "looking at plums to quench thirst" happened here. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is spread all over the world, and Wangmei quenches thirst and is naturally famous all over the world, and this place can't be famous.
The pavilion has long been dilapidated, but there are still traces of the ruins of Wang Mang's construction of the city, but it is a place far away from the official road but very convenient to enter and exit.
On the fifth watch, four horses and two people came to Huaide Pavilion.
Xiong Chu hoped to rush to Luanchuan County as soon as possible, but Han Bingru's horse was indeed not a good horse. It can't run, and it's useless if you're in a hurry.
Xiong Chu had already decided not to enter Song County, and now he must go in again.
It was Xiong Chu who entered Song County alone, leaving Han Bingru to take care of the two horses in the roadside woods.
When Xiong Chu entered Song County, it was the third watch day and the fourth watch day, which belonged to the time when he couldn't see his five fingers.
However, he cultivated a sword to stab at the sun, and his eyesight was raised to the limit, so his activities in the middle of the night were not greatly affected.
The reason why he temporarily decided to enter Song County was that Xiong Chu knew that there was a post station here, and there were four good horses in it. That's to deal with the four-hundred-mile expedited, or the six-hundred-mile expedited.
Entering a small undefended county town, and it was still the middle of the night, it was not difficult for Xiong Chu. In addition, there has never been any war here, and the common people are used to peaceful days.
The four post guards were already sleeping, and it was not difficult for the bear prince to let them sleep for a few more hours, but the two horses were pulled out very smoothly.
After taking the two horses out, the bear prince found that he had no silver on him.
There is no silver on the body, and even if you don't eat after dawn, the horses need to eat forage, and even soybeans and other concentrates, which requires silver.
So he climbed over the wall and entered the county government treasury, borrowed all the silver tickets, and took away the cumbersome one hundred taels of silver and eight ingots. Maybe the time was too rushed, and Xiong Chu forgot to give someone an IOU.
This was already very good, Xiong Chu was on a whim for a while, and before leaving, he actually unraveled the vertigo point of a servant and asked about it, only to know that there was a mining tax envoy in the Nanhe Gold Mine in Song County, and it was said that there were no less than twenty lives in his hands.
Being idle is also idle, and doing some business is also what you should do.
Although none of the twenty people entrusted themselves with revenge, but by mistake, they even thought of waking up an official to ask about something, Prince Xiong thought that this was God's meaning, and then said it through the mouth of the official, that was a good commission.
Since someone has entrusted it, this business must be done. Killers are the most honest, and this principle cannot be forgotten.
It was more than an hour since the Xiong Chu was gone, which made Han Bingru, who was waiting in the woods, so anxious that he jumped to his feet.
Because when Xiong Chu left, he said to go in and take a look, and the palm-sized place looked like it was more than an hour, which made Han Bingru think of hundreds of possibilities in his heart in an instant.
Although Song County is small, it is in the official road pass, there is nothing else in it, it is said that there are several green buildings. Could it be that this damn Hachiro actually went to that inside or something, otherwise, why waste so much time?
"How did you go for so long and get two horses back?"
When Xiong Chu came back, it was almost five watches, and Dongfang was about to turn white, so Han Bingru's face was very ugly, but unfortunately Xiong Chu couldn't see it clearly now, but he felt that his tone didn't seem to be very gentle.
"Miss Han, don't worry, let's talk as we walk. Prince Xiong handed Han Bingru a stagecoach: "Your horse is too slow, so I'll go in and borrow a horse for you." I didn't expect to meet a friend, say a few more words, and then do a good business. That's it, it's simple, isn't it?"
After Han Bingru turned over and got on the horse, she suddenly shouted, "How can this horse have such a big burden on its back, what is it inside?"
"Shhhh Come with me, and you'll understand later. β
Prince Xiong no longer talked nonsense, but took the lead, and as a result, he came to Huaide Pavilion.
"Inside the baggage are a few sets of clothes, a few pieces of jewelry, plus 30,000 taels of silver, 300 taels of broken silver, and that's it. The bear prince took all the horses over: "You hurry over there to change your clothes, we can't stay any longer." β
"Thirty thousand taels of silver tickets?" Han Bingru was frightened: "That's all?"
The bear prince did not make a sound, but led the horse away. This is to avoid suspicion, after all, when girls change clothes, big men still have to avoid suspicion.
Although the light is not good now, Xiong Chu feels that his eyesight is not affected, and it will not be good if he accidentally sees something that he shouldn't see.
In fact, Xiong Chu went into the backyard of the county order to steal clothes and jewelry for Han Bingru, purely out of improvis.
Because when he sees a woman wearing a gossip robe, he will unconsciously think of his uncle Shangqing Immortal. He felt that this was a very rebellious idea, and in order to be out of sight, he decided to let Han Bingru not wear a Taoist robe in front of him.
In fact, it can't be called stealing, but buying clothes.
Because Xiong Chu killed a mine tax envoy, he got more than 160,000 taels of silver tickets. In order not to make the eldest lady and the youngest wife of the county order family feel that they had suffered a loss, he left a thousand taels of silver tickets for others.
The reason why he steals the clothes of the young lady and the little wife is because he found out that the wife of the main hall of the county order has a decree, and those ordinary people can't wear them.
When Xiong Chu found out that Han Bingru, who was not wearing a robe, was actually very good-looking, it was already noon the next day, and Luanchuan County was already in front of him.
Melon seed face, firm nose bridge, thin eyebrows like leaves. The three buns are obliquely inserted with gold pearls and sway, which is even more agile and ethereal. Wearing a long skirt with light green printed bamboo branches on a white background, fluttering in the wind, like a bamboo shadow shaking the wind, fluttering like a fairy.
Inside is a dark red shirt and dark blue trousers, looming. A purple belt tightened Xiao Man's waist, and a long sword hung from his left rib. Han Bingru, who was sitting on horseback, looked even more charming and heroic.
"What do you see, am I ugly?"
"Hehe, it's beautiful, it's much better than the original!"
Now it is two people and two horses, trotting all the way to the north gate of Luanchuan County. As for the two stagecoaches that were borrowed in the middle of the night last night, they had just been abandoned.
Because the stagecoaches of the imperial court are branded with special marks on their buttocks. It can only be borrowed at night, and it is out of place in broad daylight.
As for whether the two stagecoaches will return to the Songxian Post Station by themselves, anyway, as the saying goes, the old horse knows the way, whether he knows the way or not, Xiong Chu is too lazy to ask.
Luanchuan County was named after the source of Luanshui (now Yihe), and later changed to Luanchuan because of the bushes here.
Because Luanchuan County is the north gate of Funiu Mountain, and ten miles southeast of the county seat, it is the famous Tongtianxia Pass, so this county has extremely high tactical value and the scale is much larger.
Han Bingru is the age of beauty-abiding, she has just gotten rid of her robe, and now she feels that everything is fresh. In addition, after entering the city gate, I saw the bustle of the streets, so I was a little absent-minded.
At this moment, Xiong Chu's voice was very small, but it was irrefutable: "Miss Han, from now on you call me eldest brother." If there is a fight, you should leave and go out through the east gate without me. β
As soon as Xiong Chu's words fell, a loud voice came from across the street: "Ouch, it's really a place in life where you don't meet, I didn't expect to be able to meet Brother Hachiro here!"
"I'm wondering who is so handsome and chic, and it turns out that it is Pu Shaoxia, the owner of the young village, who is here. Xiong Chu smiled all over his face, looking very surprised and very happy: "It's really a blessing!"
It was none other than Pu Youde, the owner of Jiudao Villa, the only son of Wuchenzi, and Xia Yun's second brother, Pu Changnian.
When the Wannian boy Luo Xiu was killed, Xiong Chu transported the coffin back to Shuizhai Town in the middle of the night, Pu Changnian secretly tracked him, but was killed by Xiong Chu and stabbed a right arm.
Later, Mo Jiuniang, Wuchenzi, Xia Yun, Wen Jie and others appeared one after another, and even alarmed Cui Yingyuan, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, and almost caused a scuffle.
Others are "enemies who are very red when they see each other", but when Xiong Chu and Pu Changnian met, they turned out to be old friends who reunited after a long absence.
Xiong Chu saw Pu Changnian coming over with a group of people in advance, and now because of his horseback riding, he couldn't immediately turn around on the street to avoid it, and it was inevitable that the two of them would meet directly, so he greeted Han Bingru in advance.
"I said a long time ago, Brother Hachiro is definitely not a thing in the pool, and it is unfortunate that I am in my words. Pu Changnian had already jumped off the horse, handed the reins to a man behind him, and then hugged his fists and said: "I heard that not long ago, Brother Balang broke into the military camp at night with a single sword, and let the thief Yue Wuying lose his dog's head, which is really happy!"
Xiong Chu hurriedly dismounted, also handed the reins to Han Bingru behind him, and then hugged his fists and said: "Jiudao Mountain Villa is famous in the world, the dragon among the masters of Shaozhuang, and it is also a family scholar, that is the real Jianghu Junjie." β
Pu Changnian came to a stop five feet away: "I don't know what Brother Hachiro wants to do now?"
Xiong Chu turned to one side, waved his hand and said: "My sister is going to Xinye to visit relatives, and I think that the journey has not been quiet recently, so I will give her a ride if I have nothing to do anyway." I didn't expect to be fortunate to have a few owners here, which is really a great fate. Seeing the young owner hugging around him, there must be something important. Shall we talk about it another day, so as not to delay the important business of the young owner?"
"No, no, no!" Pu Changnian hurriedly waved his hand: "Even if the sky falls, I don't have a heart-to-heart conversation with Brother Hachiro." There is a newly opened restaurant here, the food is passable, and the environment is elegant. Now is the time to eat, I wonder if Brother Hachiro will appreciate the light and let the younger brother be a little courteous?"
Ever since he saw Pu Changnian, Xiong Chu knew that he wanted to check Luanchuan County today, but it was completely in vain. Now this Pu Changnian has no murderous aura, and it doesn't look like he wants to do it, so he doesn't know what the hell he wants to do.
There are more than 10 people on the other side, and they can't run if they want to run on the street, so they can only come and be safe, and then improvise.
His brain was turning all kinds of thoughts quickly, but it did not affect Xiong Chu's nonsense in his mouth, and he said casually: "Let the young owner delay the time, and break the bank, I am really embarrassed, but I can't ignore the good and bad, so I have to be respectful and obedient." Young owner, pleaseβ"K."
