Chapter 56 The moon outside Chongwen Gate is as good as ever

If ordinary people hear that they can have dinner with the celebrity in front of the Queen Mother Lafayette and the first product of the dynasty - Gualga Ronglu, it must be a great blessing, and I can't ask for it. But Qin Xiaolou was worried about his sister in his heart, and he didn't have joy when he liked to join in the fun. And the aging and the face is also sinking like water.

Seeing that the two of them were not moved at all, they were not at all like those who were sloppy and slapping horses on weekdays, and she couldn't help but appreciate the two teenagers a little more.

Chen Huahe clasped his hands and wrists: "As you said, thank you for the hospitality of the old lady." It's just that tonight I'm meeting with a friend to leave the house for a while. I'll be back tomorrow before dinner. ”

Madame was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Since this is the case, I can't force me to stay today." ”

Qin Xiaolou didn't know anything about Chen Hua and the "Chongwen Outside the Gate" with Tang Rumu three days ago, he patted Chen Hua and his arm, and whispered: "Hey, what are you going to do?"

Chen Huahe smiled slightly, did not speak, said goodbye to his wife and young son Changji, turned around and walked out of the house.

Qin Xiaolou hurriedly followed, walked out of the hundred-zhang distance, and shouted loudly: "Hey, big brother, there is wine and food in the house, why don't you enjoy it for one more day, why are you in a hurry to come out?"

Chen Huaji said: "Just because I made an appointment with a friend three days ago, at night, Chongwen went outside the door to help her a little favor." Why don't you stay in the house and come out with me?"

"Good brother, of course righteousness comes first! You come out to help others, how can I bear to enjoy happiness alone?" Qin Xiaolou rolled his eyes and said with a sly smile, "Recruited from the truth, did you go to meet someone's sister privately?"

Chen Huaji said: "It's really a girl, but it's definitely not a private meeting, she said that there is a job there, and there are not enough people to ask me for help." ”

Where would Qin Xiaolou believe it, but he still said: "Since it's not a private meeting, then count me as one." ”

Chen Huaji had no choice but to nod and agree, thinking that it would be good to have one more person to work.

......

At the end of summer, the night in the capital is breezy and breezy, and there is no cicada chirping, which makes it extraordinarily quiet.

Chen Huahe and Qin Xiaolou walked out of Chongwen Gate for three or five miles, but they still didn't see Tang Rumu's shadow, and they secretly wondered in their hearts: "Could it be that Miss Rumu has misremembered the time?"

Just as he was about to turn around and look for it again, suddenly there was a sharp whistle in the dense forest on both sides of the path, and three sharp arrows broke through the air and plunged straight into the ground under the feet of the two. Qin Xiaolou was so shocked that he couldn't possess his body, and exclaimed, "I'm afraid I've encountered a robber blocking the road!"

Chen Huahe looked intently, only to see a big man flying out of the dense forest, landing in front of the two of them, with a carved hard bow behind his back, holding a three-foot broadsword, and shouting: "Those who come sign up!"

Chen Huaji arched his hand and said: "Under Chen Huaji, this is my friend, Qin Xiaolou." ”

The big Han sword pointed at Qin Xiaolou: "Chen Hua and I naturally know! It's just that this kid can't be left tonight!"

Chen Huaji was about to stop him, when he suddenly heard a female voice behind the big man shouting: "No!" Then the silver light flashed, and with a "clang" sound, a long sword stabbed out obliquely, stopping the broadsword in the big man's hand.

It's not Tang Rumu, who else can it be.

Dahan was so anxious that his face exploded: "Third Miss, I know that Chen Huaji is your friend, and I have nothing to say about inviting me to come here to help." But this scared out of the urine must be extinguished, otherwise if there is one more mouth, the matter may be revealed!"

Chen Huaji saw that the two were having a strange conversation, and asked, "Rumu, what are you inviting me to do here?"

Tang Rumu didn't answer immediately, looked at Qin Xiaolou, and asked, "Brother Huaji, I didn't know that you would bring a friend with you, this person ......" Tang Rumu groaned slightly, "Is it credible?"

Qin Xiaolou was still frightened at first, but when he heard that the girl in yellow doubted herself, she straightened her chest: "Naturally, it is credible! Chen Huaji is my eldest brother, our relationship is extraordinary, and his first meal in the capital was invited by my son!"

It's good that Qin Xiaolou didn't say this, as soon as the words fell, Tang Rumu's long sword put on his shoulder: "Who should I be, it turns out that you are the liar who deceived me and my brother Tianfulou into making it difficult!"

Qin Xiaolou almost peed his pants now, how could he know that after urinating that day, it was the girl in front of him who helped Chen Hua and relieve the siege of a meal. Seeing this, Chen Huahe hurriedly stopped: "Rumu, quickly put away the sword, it's all a misunderstanding." Then he told her briefly about the events of the past two or three days. Tang Rumu understood what had happened, and smiled: "Brother Huaji, you are a good old man who always likes to meddle in things, a thousand taels of silver is not a decimal number, in case you kill that young man, wouldn't you lose your head for this liar in vain?"

Chen Huaji said: "Don't call Xiaolou a liar again." He is also eager to save his sister, and he has his own difficulties. Now everyone is in the same place, and they are all friends who are like each other. ”

Tang Rumu's mouth pursed and her face showed displeasure: "Hmph! Why didn't you say that you were with me before? Now that you have more brothers, you have both liver and gall, and you don't like to be numb! Forget it, who asked me not to hate you, after finishing tonight's work, even if you kill that son, there will be enough money for you to redeem his sister." ”

Chen Hua and Qi said: "What do you do to make so much money?"

Tang Rumu took out a three-color token from his waist: "Brother Huaji, do you remember this thing?"

Chen Huaji said: "Sanyang Ling, naturally remember." ”

Tang Rumu turned his face to the bearded man and said, "Uncle Lu Chao, you go to the forest to arrange an ambush first, and I will come later." The head of the Great Han Jaw commanded, Tang Rumu continued: "My father is Tang Yin, the master of Suzhou Iron Sword Hall, then I am my father's best friend Lu Chao, and I am a first-class player in Iron Sword Hall." Today, dozens of masters were dispatched in the hall, just for one thing - to intercept the 800,000 taels of silver tribute that the Mixed Yuan Sect offered to Cixi!"

"Eight hundred thousand taels. Chen Huahe gasped, "I thought you asked me to do some manual work, but I didn't expect it to rob the silver taels!

Tang Rumu said: "Cixi is arrogant and lascivious, wantonly looting the people's fat and ointment for him to enjoy, and now the domestic law is blocked, and the foreign countries are eyeing her, but she has deducted military salaries for years for her own selfishness, resulting in the defeat of the Beiyang Naval Division." This is not enough, the rivers and lakes are like the likes of the Mixed Yuan Sect, and every year they have to forcibly seize money and treasures from the people, loot money and treasures for Cixi, and turn them into brothers, and you say, should this trip be intercepted?"

Chen Hua nodded silently.

"I intercepted the tribute of silver, only for three major things, first, to support the righteous people who changed the law and support the court; second, to help the poor and the poor, and to spread wealth to the people; third, ......" Tang Rumu said with a smile, "I have more silver taels on my body, and then I can help the lord who can't afford to pay for food, what do you say?"

Chen Huaji listened to her teasing herself, and her face turned red: "In this way, Rumu, what you have done is indeed a great good thing, but the disappearance of so many silver taels will inevitably cause the anger of the imperial court, how to hide it?"

Tang Rumu was overjoyed when she saw Chen Hua and supporting herself: "After I succeed, my two elder brothers will come here to answer." This is the place where the baggage convoy must pass, so we quickly went to meet Uncle Lu Chao and prepare for an ambush. ”

Chen Huahe and Qin Xiaolou entered the dense forest under the leadership of Tang Rumu, and after a short time, they only heard the sound of wheels rolling in the distance from far and near. A group of Mixed Yuan Sect members with weapons and weapons, dressed in black and wearing red scarves, escorted more than a dozen carts and entered the ambush place of the Iron Sword Hall along the path.

Lu Chao pulled his bow like a full moon, and shouted violently: "Release the arrow!" The arrows in the hands of the Iron Sword Hall warriors rained down on the convoy.
