Chapter 722: Many Doubts
I had a very pleasant meal with Fu Zhouzi, agreed on the deployment of the next battle to suppress the Japanese, and sent Fu Zhouzi away, Chang Wei was just about to go back to the inn when he heard a 'huh' behind him, "Isn't this fearless?"
When I turned around, it was He Chong and Deng Qi, and next to them stood a tall, thin and clear scribe, who was actually Luo Wencheng, who was playing around in Jiangdong under the pseudonym Luo An!
"Why did he come to Longtan?!" Chang Wei frowned secretly, Luo Wencheng was recuperating in Zhenjiang because of his identity as a person from the rivers and lakes, and He Chong even had the secret mission of monitoring the rivers and lakes and even monitoring the movements of hundreds of officials in Nanjing because of his identity as a person from the rivers and lakes, so he knew that Luo Wencheng lived a leisurely life without any problems, even if he was very favored by the saint and the teacher was the head of the cabinet, I am afraid that he could not afford to bear the crime of bullying the king!
"Fearless, we met again, I didn't expect you to be the famous Qin Guogong, and you are really a young hero. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Luo Wencheng greeted Chang Wei with an extremely natural attitude, and then turned to He Chong and said: "He Gong, from Huai'an to Zhenjiang, I have never known the identity of Fearless, if it weren't for Deng Qi's point, I would have been in the dark." ”
He Chong smiled and said, "The fearless brother is a divine dragon who sees the head but does not see the tail, and no one can compare to the elusive ability." However, Mr. Jin An really hasn't seen a fearless brother in Beijing? I heard that Qin Guogong's limelight in Beijing is almost irresistible!"
Luo Wencheng shook his head and said: "Before Fearless entered Beijing, Yuan Jiehuan had already entered the cabinet, and after that, I was idle, and I have been living in a simple place. ”
This topic is a little embarrassing, after all, the fundamental reason for Luo Wencheng's loss of power is that he lost to Yuan Keli in the political battle, but fortunately, Luo Wencheng looked calm and seemed to have let go of these grievances.
Chang Wei rolled his eyes and asked with a smile: "Duke Jin An should be recuperating in Zhenjiang, why did he come to Longtan Town?"
"Oh, I thought Fearless You know, He Gong is a famous Golden Kui Holy Hand, I heard Deng Qi say that he arrived in Longtan, so naturally I want to ask him to treat me for a day or two!"
Chang Wei almost laughed out loud, He Chong's medical skills are true, but how can his two falls, injuries, and external injuries be compared to Tang Shuxue's medical skills? Luo Wencheng is too clumsy to have this kind of interface!
Besides, his illness has been cured by seventy or eighty percent, and He Chong's eyesight does not need medical skills, and he can see the flaws at a glance!
saw Deng Qi secretly give him a look, which seemed to imply that Chang Wei should not talk more, and Chang Wei responded vaguely.
Let the four girls behind them greet the three of them, Deng Qi and Luo Wencheng also regarded the little goldfish as Chang Wei's concubine, which made everyone snicker.
After sending the four girls back to Liu Ling to get drunk, Chang Wei and the three came to He Chong's courtyard in Xinxin Inn.
As soon as he sat down, He Chong immediately showed a witty expression: "There are still favors outside the law, everyone should not have seen the affairs of Jin Angong! Of course, this can only be said behind closed doors, and three or five confidants secretly say it, haha!"
He Chong turned his head and smiled at Luo Wencheng again: "Duke Jin An, you don't have to worry, although Duke Jiehuan has different political views with you, but his old man is a righteous and bright person, and his disciples are fearless and you know, and they will not play these unsightly tricks in private." It's just that at the moment, Longtan Town is mixed, and many sects and the government secretly communicate with each other, just in case, Jin Angong, you should still use the name Luo An!"
Chang Wei smiled dumbly and said: "Old He, when did you become so literate? Jin Angong's talent is extremely admirable, how can you talk more?!"
He Chong laughed: "Near Zhu Zhechi, sitting with Jin Angong and your brother, the two university questions, why do you want to be gentle, you can't talk about those things that fight and kill." ”
Several people tacitly kept silent about the current affairs of the DPRK and China, and only talked about the winter scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. Luo Wencheng has been freed from the gloomy mood of being reprimanded, and he is very healthy in conversation, coupled with Chang Wei's knowing comments, He Chong and Deng Qi's vulgar gags, and the delicious wine and delicacies, unconsciously it has been nearly three watches.
The four of them were still unsatisfied, He Chong beckoned Xiao Er to have supper again, and there was a meaning of talking at night, but Deng Qi glanced at the moon in the west, and said with a smile: "Brother He, the fearless brother still has to worry about the matter of suppressing the widows, should you let him go back first?"
He Chong smiled slightly: "Old Deng, you are unfounded! The fearless brother fought for 2,000 miles outside the Saiwai, and millions of Hu chiefs were all talking and laughing, where do you need to take these little thieves to heart?"
"Hehe, it's no problem for the fearless brother, I'm afraid that the girls are anxious, and the fearless comfort is heartfelt, and everyone will have no strength tomorrow and delay the business. ”
"Old Deng, you really can't spit out ivory. Luo Wencheng couldn't help but wonder, he didn't seem to know much about what was happening in Longtan Town, so Deng Qi briefly explained it to him.
"Control the rivers and lakes for the imperial court, the fearless brother is really capable and hardworking, and he has a lot of confidential matters. ”
Luo Wencheng said with emotion, he is an extremely smart person, his family has been a high-ranking official for generations, and it is impossible that he has not heard of the secrets of the court.
He Chong asked: "Jin Angong, do you know the rivers and lakes?"
Seeing Luo Wencheng shaking his head, Chang Wei knew that he was a disciple of the family and had lived in Beijing for a long time, if there was no Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Tengleshan colluding with Changkong to help him chase him for thousands of miles, he would probably have no chance with the rivers and lakes for the rest of his life.
Unexpectedly, after a while, he nodded again and said, "Speaking of old Deng, he should be from the rivers and lakes!"
Deng Qi just wanted to defend himself, but when he saw him silent, he seemed to recall something, his angular face seemed to be covered with a veil of mystery, and the corners of his mouth also pulled out a gentle arc, making his clear face more and more exciting.
"Lao Deng, do you remember, the year I first entered the teacher's door, that is, the twenty-fourth year of Wanli, there were two special guests in the teacher's mansion, now think about it, they should also be from the rivers and lakes, since then, I have never seen such a heroic daughter, although it has been more than 20 years, but I still remember their names - master Xiao Yuxie and disciple Miao Wanbai. ”
Luo Wencheng didn't know how much shock his words would bring to the rivers and lakes, Chang Wei and He Chong were already looking at each other in surprise, but Deng Qi sighed faintly.
Since stepping into the rivers and lakes, Chang Wei knows that most of the sects with heads and faces on the rivers and lakes are inextricably linked with the government, and from the Tingzhu case, we can see how much the impact of the situation between the DPRK and China on the rivers and lakes is.
However, Miao Miao actually contacted Zaifu for a while, which still shocked Chang Wei's heart, on the surface, as the embodiment of justice in the rivers and lakes, secretly weaving relationships in the imperial court, can he do it to this extent? !
Looking at He Chong's appearance, it seems that he doesn't know the origin of Miao Miao and the first assistant Qi and Yu of that generation, but Deng Qi should know some of the secrets!
Deng Qi glanced at Luo Wencheng, who was immersed in his memories, smiled bitterly, and said, "Yes, Engong did have a relationship with the master and apprentice of Fairy Xiao of Hidden Lake. ”
Luo Wencheng looked at Deng Qi in surprise and asked, "Do you know their identities, who are they, where are they now?"
Deng Qi nodded: "Jin Angong, what you said is right, they are all from the rivers and lakes, and they are big celebrities in the rivers and lakes, but the master Xiao Xianzi has passed away, and the disciple Miao Wanbai is in this Longtan town." ”
"What?!" Luo Wencheng stood up suddenly, as if he wanted to go out, but after his face changed twice, he slowly sat down again, turned the fire, and carefully poured a small jar of daughter red into the wine urn on the fire.
Luo Wencheng's actions were within Chang Wei's expectations, more than 20 years ago, Xiao Yuxie was still in her forties, with her ethereal peerless mind, she was only thirty years old at most, and Miao Wanbai was even more in the mood for love at that time, the peerless demeanor of these two people should leave a lifelong impression on Luo Wencheng!
Deng Qi saw that he had calmed down, slowly drank the wine in the cup, and sorted out his thoughts before saying: "The eldest lady of Engong is frail and sickly, so someone recommended Fairy Xiao to him, and after Fairy Xiao saw it a few times, the eldest lady's condition improved. Fairy Xiao is a fairy-like character, and Engong really likes her, but she seems to have a heart, so she politely refuses Engong. After that, there was no contact for a long time, and as for the time when Jin Angong saw them, it was for Jin Angong. ”
"Coming for me?" Luo Wencheng was stunned.
"That's right! Speaking of which, at that time, you were very famous in Jin Angong, who in the capital didn't know that the Qi scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion had accepted a prodigy disciple!" Deng Qi remembered the past of that year, and his face was quite embarrassed.
"Hehe, the teacher is a former Zai Fu Qi Gong, my father is a new scholar of Zuo Chunfang University and a Japanese lecturer Luo Gong in the court, and he is a prodigy, how many famous families are staring at you, Xiao Xianzi also wants to find a home for his disciples, but unfortunately he was rejected by Ling Zun Luo Gong on the grounds that you have married the Chen family. ”
"Ah?!" Rao is Luo Wencheng has trained a city government in the court, and he can't help but sigh regretfully at this moment. When Chang Wei heard this secret, he had roughly guessed that the person who recommended Xiao Yuxi to Qi Heyu might be a person from the Hidden Lake Gate who married into a wealthy family.
"No wonder the disciples of Hidden Lake are all beautiful, it turns out that they are still so wonderful. "Luo Wencheng is handsome and stylish, and he is a good match for Miao Wanbai, although Miao Wanbai should be a few years older than Luo Wencheng, but the female junior holds gold bricks, if it weren't for his father Luo Ziliang to make a stumbling block, maybe it would be a good couple!
While Chang Wei secretly sighed in his heart, he found that he couldn't understand the mystery of ethereal behavior more and more.
Just like Luo Ziliang doesn't want his son to have anything to do with the rivers and lakes, for the officialdom that is so dark that it almost eats people and doesn't spit out bones, it should be clear about it, so hard to make friends with people in the official mansion, and still dense with chess pieces in the harem, does it have the ambition to turn the sky upside down?
And looking at Deng Qi's appearance, it seems that he knows more than that, and he has the opportunity to ask him for advice.
The four of them had their own concerns, and the room was silent for a while, and it was only after a while that they heard He Chong laugh and say: "Fearless, Xiao Yu is an ethereal disciple, you have to be careful." ”
"Not to mention Yu Piaoling, I even accepted her master, and I almost got on with a real knife and a real gun!
Coming out of Xinxin's courtyard, as soon as the cold wind blew, Chang Wei couldn't help but feel excited.
The way Miao intervened in the rivers and lakes was far more complicated than he imagined, and Chang Wei couldn't help but have a headache.
Although there are only three or five ethereal disciples in each generation who appear in the rivers and lakes, just like starting from Xiao Yuxie, there are only five or six people such as Xiao, Yan, Miao, and Lou who appear in the rivers and lakes, but the ethereal disciples are far more than just these five people, and those who appear on the rivers and lakes are those disciples who have achieved something in martial arts, and others may not have died of old age in Taihu, and marrying into a wealthy family is probably one of the ways out.
And since you can marry into a wealthy family, the possibility of marrying those powerful people on the rivers and lakes will also be greatly increased, and how much power are these hidden in the shadows? It seems that after returning to Beijing, I will have a good chat with Yan Lingyun!
There were no pedestrians on the streets, and the candles in the inns and restaurants on both sides of the road had been extinguished, and only the dead wind lamps hanging under the eaves swayed in the cold wind.
glanced at Liu Lingdrunk on the other side, his room was still shining with dim candlelight, and a few graceful figures were reflected on the window paper, although it was very late, Yan Ruyu and they were obviously not going to bed yet, they were waiting for themselves to come back, and a warmth suddenly surged in their hearts.
Rather proudly, he walked around, most of the room was immersed in sleep, and his eyes were carelessly retracted, but he suddenly saw three black shadows flash at the east corner.
If they hadn't performed superior light skills, Chang Wei might have thought that they were from a restaurant where they had returned from the rivers and lakes, but in fact, the skill and speed of these three people were as good as Tan Yu and others.
Even, one of the fat figures looked so familiar.
"Hey, isn't this Zong Liang?"
After Zong Liang in the lake was captured by Liang Kecheng, Chang Wei also forgot about him, and now he actually escaped? So, what are you doing in Longtan Town? In a flash of thought, Chang Wei also used the night to perform light skills and followed him, but when he followed the street corner, the three people were nowhere to be found.
"Could it be that you went to the rich inn where the Jiangbei Alliance lived?"
This is not only because the Fugui Inn is only one street away from here, but those men in black have a history of attacking the Sky Gang, but the Fugui Inn is now full of masters, what is the big thing that is worth them to take such a big risk?
Through the shadow of the building, he quickly moved towards the Fugui Inn in the east of the town, and sure enough, as soon as he saw the eaves of the Fugui Inn, the figures of the three masked men in black appeared on the wall of the inn.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the day of murder and arson. It's a pity that the moon is big and round now, and there is no cloud, and under the bright moonlight, the scenery from a distance of more than ten zhang can be easily distinguished, and the three of them actually sat on the wall and looked around, enough to have a cup of tea.
"Huh, what kind of mystery is this?" The actions of the three of them were so unexpected that they had to stop: "Haven't they figured out where the target of the attack lives yet?"
Just when Chang Wei was suspicious, the three of them jumped into the inn quickly, Chang Wei hurriedly rushed over, still a few feet away from the inn, he heard a scream from the inn, and then someone shouted: "Oh no! There are assassins! Catch assassins...... Oops!" and then there was a clang.
Chang Wei suddenly stopped his steps, and his heart suddenly moved, even if there were many masters living in the Fugui Inn, but with the martial arts of those three people, how could they expose themselves so quickly? Could it be that the Jiangbei Alliance had already known that they were going to come? Or was there another article in it?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly hid under the eaves of a restaurant next to the inn.
But the three of them jumped out of the inn quickly, and one of them shouted: "Assassin, there are assassins!"
While shouting, he knocked the double knives in his hands loudly, and after a while, the thin figure of Changkong Kyushu appeared on the wall, and after that, Han Yuanji's horse face also came into view, both of them were wearing thin underwear, obviously hearing that there was an assassin, they rushed out without even having time to change their clothes.
Chang Wei was confused: "What are these three people doing?"
Looking at the direction in which they fled, it didn't seem like they were turning the tiger away from the mountain. Looking around at the sky on the wall, Kyushu looked around, and didn't seem to find any suspicious movements, and asked in a deep voice, "Who just called the assassin?"
I heard more than a dozen people say that when they heard someone shouting "there is an assassin", they found that a figure appeared on their window, and they shouted along, but who shouted first, and how many people were on the other side, I didn't have a clue after asking for a long time.
Changkong Kyushu frowned, his thin single clothes couldn't withstand the steep north wind, and he seemed to be in a hurry to go back to the room, so he said: "Let's go back and rest first, but each faction must leave one person to keep vigil, just in case." ”
Everyone in Jiangbei scolded and went back to their rooms, Chang Wei thought for a while, and finally gave up the idea of waiting here to see if the three men in black would come back, and turned around to go back to Liu Ling to get drunk.
I had just walked a few steps before I suddenly felt a powerful killing intent coming from behind me, and then I could hear the sound of extremely light footsteps approaching me quickly under the cover of the howling north wind, and the sound of the wind almost made Chang Wei ignore the wisp of sword wind.
Chang Wei jumped forward more than a zhang away without warning, and made a 180-degree rotation of his body lightly in mid-air, and when he landed, the Divine Sword had already swung out a rain of swords, and it was encountering a long sword that was coming quickly, and the sword move was extremely lingering, and under the powerful attack of the Divine Sword, the owner of the long sword only took a step back.
"The sky, the world?" After Chang Wei saw clearly that the fat man who followed behind him was rumored to be in the sky of Yangzhou, the other party also shouted in surprise: "My lord!"
"Hey, when did you come to Longtan Town?"
"My lord, what are you doing at the Fugui Inn in the middle of the night?"
The two asked questions at the same time, but they both immediately understood the purpose of each other's whereabouts.
Compared with Chu Tiankuo of the alliance and Wudang Qingyun, who almost openly supports the alliance, the Changkong Kyushu and Han Yuanji of the Jiangbei Alliance obviously lack weight, if there is no heavyweight to suppress the formation, the confidence of the Jiangbei Alliance is slightly insufficient, and this candidate is now the only one in the world.
"My lord, did you see the Assassin?"
Chang Wei shook his head, the intentions of those black-clothed people were unknown at the moment, and he didn't want to transfer the data to the Sky Gang so quickly.
"When I came out of Xinxin, I heard this mess shouting that there were assassins, and when I came over to take a look, I only saw them in the sky and Kyushu. Saying that, Chang Wei smiled and said, "Brother, go back and tell your chief manager, although you don't have time to get dressed, don't let the cock be exposed like that!"
Changkong couldn't help laughing, and said after a while: "Damn, it must be the ghosts of the rabbit cubs in the alliance, they suffered a big loss last time, and this time they came to find out the reality of our Changkong Gang." ”
Chang Wei said that he did not rule out this possibility, but reminded him: "Brother, there are strict rules for the convening order of the rivers and lakes, during the meeting, all grievances and grievances in the rivers and lakes must be put aside, and the violators will immediately become the public enemy of the martial arts, and if I am in a bad mood, I can even use the army to suppress it!"
"Even if it's not them, let them carry the black pot for a few days, it's uncomfortable!" Changkong laughed twice, but praised Chang Weilai: "I heard my eldest brother say a long time ago, the adult's martial arts are outstanding, and now they are the first in the world, it seems that my eldest brother still has vision!"
"Bah, fuck your eldest brother is also an afterthought, if he is so discerning, your heart-wrenching baby sister is called Qingying, right? Why don't you introduce me to him?"
"It seems that the rivers and lakes say that the adult is a lewd thief and does not wronged you at all, if Qingying's niece and nephew recognize the adult, she will not be eaten to the point that there is no bone residue left!"
"Hey, slander me again, be careful I beat you!"
Having said that, Chang Wei's tone was very relaxed, and Changkong obviously didn't take this warning seriously.
Before saying goodbye, Changkong still asked: "My lord, is there any plan for dealing with the battle a few days ago?"
Chang Wei shook his head, this was a question he hadn't delved into. I heard He Chong say earlier that in such a large-scale Jianghu fight, as long as the parties on both sides did not report to the official, most of the local officials turned a blind eye and let it fend for itself, because from the perspective of the imperial court, as long as it does not involve ordinary people, it is the best thing for these Jianghu people to kill each other to the death, and he has somewhat ignored this.
Now that I think about it, how can there be such an absolute thing in the world? If the government does not stay out of the matter for some reason, or if the result of the struggle is likely to give birth to a strong man, then the government cannot maintain a detached attitude.
What's more, how could this kind of large-scale weapon fight not affect innocent civilians at all, just like the Changkong Gang's attack on the Jin Ge Society, are those tent gentlemen and men all members of the Jin Ge Society?
I'm afraid that's what Changkong is worried about!
It's just strange that Su Yao, the chief arrester of Nanjing, did not issue an order to the states and counties to assist in the investigation of Ying Tian's case, because the New Deal and the Tingzhu case attracted everyone's attention, or did someone suppress this tragedy?
I forgot to ask He Chong!
