Chapter 324: Early Morning Stall
In the last quarter of an hour before the city gate was closed, Mu Xiaojiu and Mu Duan successfully entered the first city.
I have to say that the Qing Dynasty has also caught up with a good emperor who has worked hard in the past two years. With the assistance of Zhao Wangye, the Qing Dynasty can indeed be called thriving.
After entering the city and finding a place to rest, Mu Xiaojiu and the two asked for some food in the inn and ate in the lobby of the inn. As a result, what I heard in my ears was either to praise the wise and martial arts of Prince Zhao and the little emperor, or to praise the monarchs and ministers in harmony and wisdom, and in addition, they were all talking about this war launched by many foreign forces against the Central Plains.
It sounded like these three things were all about these three things, and Mu Xiaojiu and Mu Duan seemed to be a little impatient to listen, so they simply went back to the room.
As soon as he entered the room, Mu Xiaojiu's face sank.
"This time it was really miscalculated, although Ouyang Feng was gone, Ouyang Ke, the Lingzhi Venerable and others were still there. If you want to kill Yang Kang this time, I'm afraid it will be a lot more troublesome. ”
That's right, Mu Xiaojiu's target this time is Yang Kang, or Yan Kang.
To be honest, it's really hard to choose a target, it's not easy for people with too high a position to start, and if the position is low, they can't play the kind of leading role that Mu Xiaojiu wants.
In this world, the relationship between Zhao Wangye Wanyan Honglie and the emperor is actually not very close, but they all have great merits, plus Wanyan Honglie himself is also a very powerful figure, after inheriting the hereditary position of Zhao Wangye, he really assisted the emperor to make the Qing Dynasty to a higher level.
Therefore, Wan Yankang, the adopted son of Prince Zhao, is an excellent choice.
First of all, Wan Yan Kang, as the son of Wan Yan Honglie, the prince of Zhao, has a status that is not low, but it is not too high, and the Zhao Wangfu is always better than the palace; Secondly, Wan Yankang has a lot of notoriety, and he is not very popular, even in the Central Plains, because of the "behavior propaganda" of the Quanzhen Sect, the matter of "Qiu Chuji has a rebel" is almost known to everyone, so killing him can almost make the world happy.
In this way, the role of "leader" that Mu Xiaojiu wants to play is much easier.
But he didn't expect that although Ouyang Feng had left the Qing Dynasty, Ouyang Ke and the others were still around Wan Yankang's side all the time.
I really just wanted to have a meal when I went down before, but I didn't expect those people to bring out Wan Yankang when they talked about Wan Yan Honglie, and also mentioned the group of dog legs around Wan Yan Kang.
According to the information he had obtained earlier, Ouyang Ke, Lingzhi Venerable and the others should have already gone to the battlefield to help under the instructions of Zhao Wangye Wan Yan Honglie, how could they suddenly return to Wan Yan Kang's side?
"Looks like plans are about to change." After a long time, Mu Xiaojiu finally let out a sigh and said, "We must find out the truth first, otherwise it will be very troublesome for the two of us to kill Yan Kang." ”
Mu Duan hadn't spoken before, but at this time he suddenly said, "Childe, I suddenly thought of a possibility. ”
Mu Xiaojiu looked up at Mu Duan, "Oh? Say it. ”
Mu Duan pondered for a moment, and now he organized the language in his heart, and then said slowly: "I remember when you described Yang Kang to me, Gongzi, you said that this person is competitive and unscrupulous, and he is also arrogant and complacent, and he is extremely jealous. Is that right? ”
Mu Xiaojiu nodded and motioned for Mu Duan to continue.
"So, the news you got from Wanshilou before, Wanshilou is not necessary, and it is impossible to deceive you, in this way, could it be because Wanyan Kang wants to go to the battlefield to fight for merit, so Wanyan Honglie called those people back from the front line and asked them to escort Wanyankang?"
Mu Xiaojiu was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his thigh hard, "It's okay, it's okay!" It makes sense, it makes sense, and that's probably the truth. ”
In fact, Mu Xuan's speculation is very close to the truth.
Recently, there have been many wars, and on the side of Dayuan, Zhao Min, who is a junior generation, has made great achievements and made many contributions, which has been praised by Yan Honglie from time to time. Wan Yankang grew up in the doting of his parents since he was a child, and he has always been smooth sailing, and he has been pampered for a long time, and it is difficult to tolerate others being better than himself. Therefore, after listening to it a lot, he directly asked Yan Honglie to go to the battlefield in person to establish his achievements.
Wan Yan Honglie had nothing to do with this matter, but he called Ouyang Ke and the Lingzhi Venerable Master back and asked them to escort Wan Yan Kang to the front line.
Mu Xiaojiu sat in front of the table and gently rubbed his chin with his fingers, "Hmm...... If this is the case, then the destination of Wanyankang can be determined. Earlier, downstairs, we heard Wan Yankang and his men, with a cavalry of two hundred men. Assuming all his men are there......"
"Ouyang Ke is the strongest among those people, and he belongs to the middle and upper reaches of the first-class masters, and his strength is slightly lower than that of Song Yuanqiao and Zhang Songxi in Wudang. The rest of the Lingzhi Master, Liang Ziweng, Sha Tongtian, Hou Tonghai and Peng Lianhu and others were almost not afraid, and their strength was mediocre. But if you are alone with these six people, you are afraid that there will be some crisis. ”
"In addition, those 200 cavalry are also very difficult to do, so the best time for us to attack is to intercept and kill halfway. If they are sent to the war zone, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you and me to start. ”
Mu Duan nodded thoughtfully, "If that Ouyang Ke is just an ordinary first-class realm, then it doesn't matter, it's just that he is the nephew of Ouyang Feng, in addition to martial arts, the poison technique is not bad, and it is really troublesome for me to deal with them alone." ”
In fact, in the original book, Ouyang Ke was not so strong, but a series of changes in this world made Ouyang Ke a lot stronger. Among them, the most significant, and the one that has greatly improved Ouyang Ke's strength, is the alliance between the White Camel Mountain Villa and the Five Poisons Sect.
These two factions are both drug-using sects, but one is in the Western Regions and the other is in Miaojiang. The research directions of the two are different, and the number of martial arts paths is also different. Now that the two factions are united, they just complement each other, and Ouyang Ke's strength has become a lot stronger.
In the original work, Ouyang Ke entered the Qing Dynasty for the first time, and was almost killed by the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan when he robbed women, not to mention that he was seriously injured, and even his two concubines died. But in the game, although Ouyang Ke did not encounter the Jiangnan Seven Monsters, if he fought again, he was afraid that the outcome would be very different.
"Forget it, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, let's pay more attention to the whereabouts of Yang Kang and others in the past two days, and find this little prince of the Qing Dynasty first, and then talk about other things."
Mu Shu answered, and then went back to his room.
……
Early the next morning, Mu Xiaojiu got up early in the morning, put on a hat and left the inn.
At this time, there are no people on the street, so it can be said that there is silence. Mu Xiaojiu walked on the road, smelling the fresh air with a hint of coolness, and couldn't help but stretch his waist.
At this time, a trace of aroma came through the air.
Mu Xiaojiu raised his eyebrows, couldn't help but feel a little curious, and walked in the direction of the fragrance.
After walking less than twenty steps, I turned my head and saw that in an alley, a woman of about eighteen or nineteen years old was pushing a cart forward. The cart was not big, but there was an iron bucket on it, and there were many small wooden stools and two small tables hanging next to it, and the smell came from the iron bucket.
"Girl, what's in your iron bucket?"
The little girl looked up and saw a man in a blue robe, a black coat, and a hat standing in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel a little frightened. But fear is fear, and the little girl replied crisply, "Well, I cooked wontons in this bucket." ”
Under the cover of the hat, Mu Xiaojiu smiled lightly and said, "In that case, can you bring me a bowl, I haven't eaten in the morning, and I'm a little hungry." ”
The little girl saw that Mu Xiaojiu was quite polite, so she was not so nervous, but returned with a smile: "Guest officer, don't worry, if I get it for you here, you won't have a place to sit and eat." If you're not in a hurry, let me push the cart over, put everything away, and I'll get it for you." ”
Mu Xiaojiu raised his head, glanced at the beads of sweat on the little girl's forehead, and took a step forward, "It's okay, but I'll help you push this little car." It's been cold lately, so you wipe your sweat first, and you can save yourself from the wind chill. ”
The little girl was stunned, and then shook her head embarrassedly, "How can it be done, it's okay, don't worry, I'm in good health." ”
Seeing this, Mu Xiaojiu didn't say anything more, just got out of the way, let the little girl walk in front, and then followed step by step.
When he arrived at the next street where the little girl was going, Mu Xiaojiu suddenly found an interesting thing - there were already a few people waiting there on this street, and as soon as the little girl passed, those people came over to help the little girl unload the things on the car, and then set them up one by one.
"Little Ling'er, you should rest for a while, wipe your sweat, we are not in a hurry."
An old lady took out a handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to the little girl named Ling'er.
Mu Xiaojiu looked at the people around him who had been waiting here for a long time with an average age of no less than thirty or forty years old, and couldn't help but be curious, and asked a person next to him: "This uncle, is this little girl's wontons so delicious?" Why are so many people waiting. ”
The uncle looked at Mu Xiaojiu, and then said softly with some regret: "Xiao Ling'er's craftsmanship is indeed speechless, but everyone is not waiting here because it is delicious." Speaking of which, this little bell is also strange and pitiful, she has no father and mother since she was a child, and she is raised by us people. Later, when Xiao Ling'er grew up, she went to do needlework for others to save some money and set up such a wonton stand, and every time we came to eat, she didn't need money. There is no way, so we can only stay here every day, help her, and save her from being too tired. ”
After speaking, the uncle glanced at Mu Xiaojiu and asked a little strangely: "Young man, what are you doing with a hat this early in the morning?" ”18110
