Volume 2 The Wind Rises in Pingjing Chapter 109 The moonlight shines on the famous hall
Four or five empty wine jars were crooked on the table, the old man had a red nose, his eyes were foggy, and he still picked up the wine bowl and drank it down, his speech was a little vague, but he still said: "Who would think that Western Chu would end up like this, even if in the end there is only one state left in Western Chu, who dares to say that Western Chu is defeated, and it is not that you Northern Wei Dynasty has moved the capital twice, what Li Zaixiao, Li Zaizhong, there is that one who can be the opponent of the overlord, the children of Western Chu are talented, and the comeback is unknown, but why did the overlord kill himself?"
The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, as if he wanted to vomit all the depression in his heart, fortunately, Su Wen was not an authentic Northern Wei person, and Guo Yuansheng and Qin Tong were also Chu people, hearing the old man's generous words, it was as if he was in the scene, but it was a pity that they had never seen this legendary emperor of Western Chu, which was a big pity.
"I wonder if the overlord has any heirs left in the world?" Zhou Buyan suddenly asked in a low voice.
The old man was stunned when he heard this, raised his head and Zhou Buyan's cold face almost pasted up, and when he landed, most of the wine was gone, and he said: "How do I know this, even if there is, what can I do, the overlord has lost, and Xichu has died." β
"Old man, did the lady die in Changming Palace or went to Xishu. Su Wen personally poured a glass of wine for the other party and asked.
Now everyone says that she is a demon girl who has brought disaster to the country and the people, but can just a woman really mislead the country? It's just an excuse made by men, anyway, this country has to be sat by men, women! The old man laughed miserably, and his old face couldn't help but tremble.
Su Wen glanced at Zhou without saying a word, the other party shook his head, and at this moment, a team of officers and soldiers suddenly rushed up, and several diners in the distance pointed at Su Wen and said something, and the team of soldiers walked straight over.
"This general is Liu Xiaotao, deputy lieutenant of Yanqiuguan, Fang Caier and others who slandered the government and humiliated the ministers, according to the laws of the Northern Wei Dynasty, should be punished with a cane for 30 years and detained for half a year. β
"My lord, I am drunk and talking nonsense, and I hope that my lord Haihan. Fang Yunqi hurriedly handed over a silver ingot and said with a smile.
Liu Xiaotao checked the silver in his hand, looked at Fang Yunqi with a wicked smile and said, "Boy, count you as acquaintances, in this way, bring back one person and twenty boards, and the matter will be settled." β
"My lord, if you take care of it, forget about the board. Fang Yunqi hurriedly handed over another piece of silver.
"Hmph, what do you mean, don't you think about breaking the rules, Lord Ben is already extraordinarily kind, don't kick your nose in the face, otherwise you won't blame Lord Ben for being ruthless. Liu Xiaotao took the silver, but he was still unforgiving.
"You moths, you knew in the past that the people of fish and meat would be destroyed in your hands sooner or later. The old man suddenly opened his mouth and scolded, the wine was strong and courageous, but he was brave.
Fang Yunqi was about to scold his mother in his heart, aren't you adding fuel to the fire? Sure enough, even if Liu Xiaotao's face darkened, he directly drew a knife and slashed on the table, and scolded angrily: "You old thing is looking for death, you will be arrested by Lao Tzu, maybe it is still a thief who is trying to restore Western Chu, I have to interrogate and interrogate me well." β
"Who do you want to interrogate!" Su Wen crossed Erlang's legs, tilted his head to look at the other party, a purple wood waist card turned around on his fingers, his fingers flicked away, and the waist card hit Liu Xiaotao directly on the door, the latter took a look, the blood was cold, his legs trembled and fell to the ground, raised the waist card above his head, and said tremblingly.
"I don't know if the Janissaries are here, the little ones should be damned, damn them. β
The soldiers behind him also knelt on the ground one after another, and the diners who had been reported before were panicked, and they couldn't escape, they didn't escape, they sat in place one by one.
Su Wen took back the waist card, he didn't expect this brand to work so well, which made him regret that he didn't use the Qiwang Baozhang much when he was in Cangzhou.
"Alright, get out!"
Liu Xiaotao got up with relief, returned the two ingots of silver in his hand to Fang Yunqi, took out one more from his arms and sent it over, smiled at the other party, and then fled in a hurry with a group of people.
"You're good talking, so let them go. Fang Yunqi put away the silver, and said dissatisfiedly, if it was a different time, these people were afraid that they would not be able to find the corpse.
"I didn't know that it was the hot face that stuck to someone else's cold ass. Su Wen mocked wantonly, and then asked Guo Yuansheng to open a few rooms, seeing that the old man was already drunk, he must not be able to ask anything, and asked Xiao Er for a bowl of hangover soup and put it on the table, and after paying a few people left.
On the other side, Liu Xiaotao thought about it, and became more and more afraid, how could the forbidden guards in Kyoto appear here, but he reported himself as soon as he came up, just afraid that he would be remembered, and it was better to tell him first if he thought about it.
However, Cai Ke noticed that something was wrong when he heard it, and hurriedly ordered someone to invite Granny Wang, and after listening to Liu Xiaotao's description, the old woman smiled and said: "That's right, that person is Su Wen." β
"He's Su Wen, didn't he say that there was only one messenger to escort him? Why did there be three more people. Cai asked suspiciously.
Granny Wang's cane lightly touched the ground, and said disapprovingly: "Lord Cai doesn't need to care, the people next to him are handed over to the old body, as long as you don't let Su Wen escape." β
"Escape? Granny Wang is really joking, although I have never fought in Yanqiu Pass, but the soldiers under this general are not watching, even if he is the Lichen Grandmaster, five hundred people, five hundred arrows, you say that he is not dead. Cai Ke said confidently, the reason why the Southern Tang Dynasty's deer chasing bow is famous all over the world is that it was a merit to destroy Shu back then, and secondly, by the Hanjiang River, there were 29 guards composed of Lichen Grandmaster on the side of the overlord of Chu, and in the end, they all died tragically under the deer chasing bow, and even the overlord who was more powerful than Guan Tianxiao could not escape the end of self-slaughter, and the manpower was exhausted after all, and the monks were just stronger.
"Lord Cai, my son-in-law wants a living Su Wen, not a dead person, and the old body doesn't want any accidents, so do you understand what to do?"
These words clearly asked him to use his life to drag down Su Wen and the others, Cai Ke frowned, these five hundred people are not five hundred taels of silver, they can earn it at any time, not to mention that they are all subordinates who have followed him for many years, behind Qingyi, but the position of Langzhong in the military department is close at hand, if he doesn't show some sincerity, I'm afraid he will not be able to do without Yanqiu Pass in his life, after weighing it again and again, Cai Ke finally made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Granny Wang rest assured, the lower officials understand." β
......
The pass is not more prosperous than Kyoto, so the curfew is more stringent, the dusk drum is sounded at three o'clock, it is forbidden to travel, and the ban is opened after the morning bell is ringed at three o'clock on the fifth watch, and after the night ban is opened, before the fifth watch, the night is beaten, and only sickness, childbirth, death and funeral can be exceptionally passed.
Except for the street patrol husband, there is no one on the street, Su Wen is lying in the room, all he thinks about is the old man's remarks, Zhou Buyan is very concerned about the orphans of Xichu, these are understandable things, if there is really a prince heir alive, the headache should be the Southern Tang Dynasty, just like although Shu is far away in the sky, the school still accepted the two daughters of the Mu family, and built momentum for Xishu, although the effect was not great, but it was like a thorn stuck in the throat of the Southern Tang Emperor, always diaphragm.
It's just that Su Wen can't understand that the defeat of Western Chu is similar to the rebellion of Wen and Wei in the Northern Wei Dynasty, if there is no Li Jucheng to turn the tide, who can say that the two princes with different surnames will not stand up for themselves as emperors, the Chu overlord period is known as the strongest in Western Chu, suppressing the Wei and Jin countries with the power of one country, and almost unifying Kyushu, and Emperor Wenmu's exploits are also to chase the founding Emperor Wei, die in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, annex six states, and make the Northern Wei Dynasty reach unprecedented strengthοΌ
Ling Tiangong called his senior brother a Kyushu rebel, but it was only because of that tragedy that the heroes reached the top and asked Daotian? Maybe it was far more than that, he was on the blacklist of Ling Tiangong, and anyone would have trouble sleeping.
"Senior brother, why do you want me to suffer for your sins? β
Suddenly, a uniform sound of footsteps disrupted Su Wen's thoughts, I thought it was the patrol team of the pass, but the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally stopped outside the inn, he turned over and sat up, pushed open the window, and saw through the gap that the heavily armed officers and soldiers surrounded the entire inn, and his heart was shocked.
At this moment, the sound of wood knocking on the tiles sounded above his head, Su Wen lost his mind, a cluster of faint light passed through the tiles, and suddenly the cold wind and frost paved the surface, the rolling air machine was like a waterfall hanging cliff gushing down from the small crack, a cane exposed a corner, and then a gust of wind swept through the hall, a water-patterned steel knife broke open the door and crossed, and the cane was pointed together, the sound roared, Su Wen was directly hit by the explosive energy fluctuations on the wall, and there was a graceful old woman who landed with him, the roof was like an open skylight, and a large piece of moonlight shone on the old woman's face, as if she was smiling and angryγ
"It's a bit unsophisticated to sneak attack behind your back!" Su Wen lay on the ground and didn't plan to get up, looking at the old man unfamiliarly, but the momentum of the other party was not much different from Zhou's.
Granny Wang's white eyes stared at Zhou Buyan, her cane knocked on the ground three times, and said in a dry voice: "You doll is good, you can catch the old body with a cane, not like an official who escorts prisoners, which doll are you." β
"Zhou family, Zhou does not speak. β
"No wonder, I want him, can you give it to me?" Granny Wang said as she raised her hand and pointed at Su.
Zhou Buyan didn't answer, but just put the steel knife across his chest.
"It seems that it can't be done, so I have to take it by force. Granny Wang's cane lightly and suddenly hit the ground, the ground was like waves, one step at a time, although her body was slow, she appeared in front of Su Wen in an instant, and her dry palm grabbed it head-on, obviously full of flaws, but Su Wen couldn't move.
A Cen Bai knife qi burst open the windowsill, shaking the entire room out of the third hole, Granny Wang's palm stopped in front of Su Wen, and the steel knife stopped at the back of her head.
"It's better to take a step back, I just need to be angry. β
"Nope. Zhou Buyan said coldly, and there were also bursts of fighting in the next room, it seemed that there was not only the old woman who arrived, but also the soldiers outside the building, which was very tricky.
The old woman put away her cane and said helplessly: "Since this is the case, I have to take your Zhou family first." β
At the same time, the foot soldiers began to rush the building, the crisp sound of the blade colliding with the armor echoed throughout the inn, the moment the old woman withdrew her palm, the steel knife in the weight of the cane, the spark splashed, Su Wen finally stood up, and disappeared outside the hole in the windowsill in one step.
