The number of guards at the gate of the city was at least twice as many as usual, and there were patrols of the Southern Border Army in armor from time to time, and the atmosphere was very grim.
"Line up! All of them are lined up for interrogation!" The city gate soldiers scolded sullenly, scrutinizing them sharply in private.
Ordinary people didn't dare to offend the officers and soldiers, and they didn't dare to show their air. They lined up obediently.
Not far away, Ye Yinming and Langma walked side by side, walking towards the city gate, and the two chatted leisurely about poetry while walking.
The two naturally also saw the dense flow of people near the city gate, and they both subconsciously slowed down.
Langma raised her brows, pretending to be puzzled and said, "Brother Ye, it's strange, when I entered the city in the morning, there weren't so many people. Is it a special day today, why are there so many people leaving the city?"
Ye Yinming raised his eyes and glanced at it, and wrote lightly: "Brother Lang has not heard of it. It is said that Nanliang spies appeared outside the city. In order to be cautious, the prince ordered to check the people entering and leaving the city." After a pause, Ye Yinming He said with disapproval, "Actually, according to my younger brother, since he was a native of Nanliang who was discovered outside the city, I am afraid that the other party has already gone far away, how could he still be in the city..." If he was still the secretary of the palace, he would definitely have a good relationship with the prince. Titi, it's a pity...
Langma smiled unnaturally, and said, "Your Highness, be careful, it's always right." He looked hesitant, "Brother Ye, since the city gate is under martial law today, why don't we go back... Maybe The peddler who sells pens will be here in two days."
"But what if he doesn't come." Ye Yinming refused to give up, "A good pen is hard to find, and the wolf is really a good pen in a thousand miles!"
Ye Yinming probably also felt that he was a little too eager. After a dry cough, he continued, "Brother Lang, my little brother knows that you are also afraid of causing trouble. But don't worry, the city gate soldiers basically know my little brother... We just go out of town to buy Pen, it'll be alright."
Since the event of the show, and the younger sister entered the palace again, Ye Yinming was rejected by the students who used to talk about poetry and poetry, but he also received some unexpected conveniences in life. Not only did he often go to restaurants to eat Some shopkeepers flattered him and exempted him from drinking money. Even when entering and leaving the city, these city gate soldiers were very polite to him, and kept pointing at him to help him or something.
Langma was overjoyed in her heart, but she looked embarrassed on the surface. After a while, she finally nodded and said, "Then I'll accompany Brother Ye." After speaking, he quickly turned his head and glanced behind him. He exchanged glances with Tashi Dorji, who was wearing a hat not far away, indicating that everything was going according to plan.
"Thank you, Brother Lang." Ye Yinming clasped his fists and thanked him, feeling that it was his luck to know such a good friend.
While talking, the two young sons had already arrived at the back of the long line, and the line was slowly advancing. Langma was anxious, but she could only act lightly, chatting with Ye Yinming absentmindedly.
Tashi Dorji, wearing a hat, lined up a few people away from them, covering half of his face with the edge of the wide hat, and people around him cast exploratory glances at him from time to time, but because he was not the only one wearing a hat. One person is not particularly striking.
After about a stick of incense, Ye Yinming and Langma finally followed the team to the city gate.
A black and fat city gate soldier glanced at the two with shrewd eyes, and said solemnly: "Who are you two? Where do you live? Who is your name? What are you doing out of the city?"
Ye Yinming's face was a little unsightly. He just assured Brother Lang that no one would embarrass them if he was there. Unexpectedly, he didn't recognize the person guarding the gate today, and he didn't know where they came from. Come on, it's such a lack of eyesight.
Ye Yinming took out a bamboo plaque around his waist and said, "I am a student of Qingmao Academy."
A thin layer of sweat oozed out of Langma's forehead. He tried to remain calm, smiled slightly, and said, "This official, I'm not a native of Luoyue City, this is Lu Yin." He took it out from his arms. A document, trying to calm down.
The city gate soldier looked at him for a moment, and stretched out his hand to pick up the document. Suddenly, an exclamation came from behind: "Hey, how are you pushing people?! Don't go..."
Several city gate soldiers were attracted by the commotion over there, only to see a man wearing a bamboo hat walking away without looking back, knocking over several people along the way...
"The one wearing the hat in front, stop for me!" A city gate soldier shouted, but the other party not only did not stop, but also walked faster and faster, and even ran...
Such behavior, how suspicious!
The city gate guard on the side hurriedly ordered a few guards and ordered: "Chase! Take down that suspicious person!"
The people lining up all around gave in one after another, and they talked a lot.
Shouzheng led seven or eight city gate soldiers to chase after Tashi Dorje, who was in front of him. On the other side, a group of soldiers just happened to be patrolling here. When they saw there was movement, they rushed over, and the armor made a messy collision sound as it ran.
There was a commotion in front of the city gate, but under the orders of the soldiers, the line out of the city quickly lined up neatly again.
Ye Yinming became impatient and urged, "Can we go?"
The city gate soldier with Lu Yin in his hand was about to speak, when another tall and thin city gate soldier ran over, clasped his fists at Ye Yinming and smiled attentively, "Huh? Isn't this Young Master Ye? I'm rude!" After that, he pointed to the black and fat guard and said, "Young Master Ye, this Li Daniu is a newcomer, so I don't know Young Master. It's really offending."
Ye Yinming, the city gate soldier, still didn't recognize him, but he couldn't care to think about why this stranger knew him.
The tall and thin city gate soldier said again with a smile: "Da Niu, this is Young Master Ye, you have to remember it. You don't need to check with Young Master Ye's friends."
"Remember, little one." Li Daniu smiled and clasped his fist at Ye Yinming, and handed back the documents in his hand to Langma, "You two sons, hurry up and leave."
Langma quickly put away the fake road guide, secretly relieved. Fortunately, Ye Yinming is still useful...
He quickly glanced at Tashi Dorji's back, knowing that the other party would definitely not be able to escape this time. However, once he returns to the camp safely, he will definitely give Tashi Dorji a credit, and Fuze and his family!
The two walked fast, not noticing that the two city gate soldiers exchanged glances, and the one named Li Daniu left in a hurry.
After leaving the city, Langma was eager to leave immediately, but there was another Ye Yinming beside her.
Ye Yinming looked around and saw that there was only a long line of people outside the city gate waiting to enter the city, and people who were leaving the city one after another.
"Brother Lang, what about the pen peddler you said?" Ye Yinming asked impatiently.
Langma sneered in her heart, but looked calmly for half a circle, and her eyes fell on the bamboo shed not far away. He knew that the bamboo shed was originally a tea shop opened by the prince and concubine of Zhennan. It seemed that it was closed again today because of martial law.
"Brother Ye, I met that hawker in that bamboo shed." Langma pointed to the bamboo shed and said, "He said that he would sell pens for a day at the city gate today. Maybe he went inside to rest."
Ye Yinming responded and followed Langma into the bamboo shed without any doubt. There were many bamboo curtains hanging around the bamboo shed to block the sun, so as soon as he entered the shed, he felt that the surroundings were dark.
Ye Yinming swept around, but didn't see anyone. He was about to turn his head to ask again, but a silver light appeared in the corner of his eyes...
Langma's dagger has been aimed at the aorta on Ye Yinming's neck. With just one knife, Ye Yinming will undoubtedly die.
But at the moment when the blade was about to see blood, Langma remembered something, narrowed her eyes, suddenly raised her left hand, and slashed Ye Yinming's back with her palm.
"Lang..." Ye Yinming only uttered a syllable, then he felt a pain in the back of his neck, and then his eyes darkened, his consciousness became confused, and soon he didn't know anything...
Ye Yinming fell straight to the ground, Langma stood aside and looked down at Ye Yinming with cold eyes, and said softly, "You're lucky!"
Langma didn't intend to stay alive, but temporarily thought that this is not a battlefield after all, killing people is easy, and the trouble is the blood that spills out. Once blood stains on the body, it is not easy to wash it off, and the smell of blood on the body is not easy to dissipate. Instead, it will cause him endless trouble.
At this moment, I still have to act in a low-key manner, and being able to escape is the most important thing.
Langma opened a bamboo curtain a little and looked out. After making sure that no one was paying attention, she squatted down beside Ye Yinming, took off the other party's robe decisively, and dressed herself as The appearance of an ordinary scholar, and then left the bamboo shed as if nothing had happened.
As for Ye Yinming, who fainted, his mouth was sealed with a cloth, his hands and feet were tied, and he curled up in the corner of the bamboo shed in embarrassment.
After Langma left the bamboo shed, she walked onto the official road. After a while, she boarded a farmer's ox cart... After a while, the ox cart was replaced by a donkey cart... At dusk, he When he came out of a small village, there was a brown horse under his crotch, and he rode away.
He threw it casually, and a white homing pigeon fluttered its wings and flew higher and higher, causing several nearby sparrows to chirp and fly.
Looking at the figure of one person, one horse and one pigeon, a baby-faced young man came out from behind a big tree, holding a steamed bun in his hand, and muttered: "This nine kings are really talented..." He grabbed After scratching the back of his head, he said to himself again, "By the way, why isn't Uncle Liu here yet! Didn't he say he was on duty with me?" Didn't he coax me? !
Complaining after complaining, Feng Xing obediently got on his dark horse, caught his belly, chased after him, carefully kept a certain distance from Langma, and used the woods to cover his tracks.
After another half an hour, the sound of wheels and hooves could be heard far behind him, getting closer and closer...
"drive!"
There were some familiar voices from the rear, Feng Xing was overjoyed, and the next moment, he saw a middle-aged man driving a carriage past him.
I can finally rest!
Feng Xing happily slowed down the speed of the horse and watched the carriage go away, then pulled the horse rope to turn the direction, thinking: This time I have to tell the young master, let me rest for ten days!
Tread, step, step...
This time, the dark horse didn't need to suppress himself anymore, and ran wildly, turning into a black lightning, attracting the attention of the passing few.
Feng Xing is very proud, his baby is so handsome, tall and strong, flexible and light, traveling thousands of miles every day, like wind and electricity...
Quickly, Feng Xing arrived at Luoyue City before it was completely dark.
Of course he didn't go through the main entrance!
Although he has been staring at the Nine Kings of Nanliang these days, he also learned the location of Guan Yubai's residence from Xiao Si's mouth. With his skills, it is simply too easy to sneak into the palace!
Feng Xing climbed over the wall, carefully avoiding the guards, and arrived at Qingyunwu in a short time. He quickly crossed the stone arch bridge over the lake, and then circled around the house. The candle in the study room was lit. in.
Feng Xing quietly walked out of the window, and before he put one hand on the window sill, he heard Xiao Si's cold voice from the study: "Go to the front door!"
Feng Xing touched his nose, it was really boring, and he was discovered again.
He didn't intend to please Xiao Si, he propped on the window sill with one hand, and jumped sideways into the study briskly, and shouted with a smile, "Young Master."
Guan Yubai was standing behind the desk and writing and drawing. He was wearing a dark blue lake silk Confucian robe, and his jet-black hair was fastened with a white jade bamboo hairpin. He looked elegant and handsome.
He was so focused and focused, as if he didn't know Fengxing was coming.
Feng Xing waited for a while without moving, touched his nose curiously and walked to the desk, craned his neck and glanced around.
I saw that the smooth and delicate brushstrokes did not hesitate to outline a bird parked on a branch, with a vivid posture and vividness, looking down the bird's pair of smart eyes, under the branch, a green bird. The praying mantis leaps out of the paper...
Feng Xing almost didn't laugh. At first glance, he knew that the painting was "Mantis fluttering at the cicada, the oriole is behind", the son is really bad-hearted...cough, no, there is sentiment.
Guan Yubai tapped the book table with his fingers lightly, and when he saw a bowl of bird's nest porridge that had not been touched on the book table, Feng Xing's eyes lit up, and he picked it up bluntly to eat, completely ignoring Xiao Si's cold eyes.
After a while, Guan Yubai finally put down the paintbrush in his hand, and Feng Xing's bird's nest had only drank half of it. After he put down the bowl reluctantly, he reported, "Young Master, what nine kings have already released the carrier pigeons at dusk, I believe that 'over there' will receive news soon and send someone to respond."
After speaking, he paused and said with a drooling face, "Young Master, it's not easy for me, the oriole to be with the mantis for a long time. You can enjoy another bowl of bird's nest." As soon as he tasted his tongue, he knew that it was the best blood. Yan, mellow, delicate and smooth. It really deserves to be the Zhennan Palace, it's unusual when you make a move!
Xiao Si's face became more and more stinky, staring at Feng Xing without blinking, as if to say, your skin is too thick.
Feng Xing ate his bird's nest carelessly, he didn't do anything if he wanted to save face and suffer. Such a good bird's nest does not enter his stomach, it is a waste of money!
Guan Yubai pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Little Si, come with me, let's go to see King Zhennan."
The candle flames danced, and in the dim yellow light, his black and beautiful eyes were like the most dazzling stars in the night sky, shining with wise and profound light.
Speaking of King Zhennan, at this moment he was pacing back and forth in the study with a frowning face, and he was extremely anxious.
The more chaotic Luo Yuecheng became, the more he was afraid of being known by the official language, but before he knew it, the situation became uncontrollable.
Even, he didn't even have a person who could express his anger. The concubine had his permission to go to the temple to pray for blessings, and the access was very low-key. He really couldn't blame her for being too public and attracting the attention of Nanliang people. .
Hey.
No matter if it is Nan Liang or the emperor, why can't he look down on him like this, there is always something going on.
"My lord." Bellflower, the eldest maid serving in the study, reported from outside the door, "Marquis Anyi asks to see you."
King Zhennan's heart skipped a beat, he was really afraid of what was coming... I didn't hear that Marquis Anyi was out today, how did he find out so quickly...
He really wanted to dismiss the official language by taking advantage of his discomfort, but this reason sounded too fake.
King Zhennan sighed and said, "Please come in Marquis Anyi."
Not long after, Guan Yubai was led to King Zhennan's study, and after seeing the ceremony, he sat on the armchair at the bottom.
The maids served tea.
The King of Zhennan greeted warmly: "Master Hou, this willow tea, which is unique to our southern border, is not available in the capital."
After thanking him in the official language, he took a sip from the tea cup and praised, "It's slightly bitter and sweet, and the fragrance is pleasant. It's really different."
The King of Zhennan said with a smile: "If Lord Hou likes it, this king will send some to Qingyunwu in a while."
Guan Yubai put down the tea cup and said with a smile, "Thank you, lord." He paused and said, "My lord, I heard that Luoyue City is under martial law again today, but what happened?"
King Zhennan looked bad, sighed, and said, "Hey, Lord Hou, you know, Nanliang is really arrogant recently. They were blocked by Ayi in Huiling City, and they wanted to use the concubine to threaten Ah. Yi, it’s really deceiving people too much. Naturally, this king can’t be appeased, and he must investigate it strictly, but it disturbs the quietness of the Hou Ye.”
This time, Guan Yubai was not as easy to talk as in the past. He thought about it for a moment and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me, Nanliang is so arrogant, is there really no problem in the battle in Huiling City?"
King Zhennan's heart was lifted, and he laughed dryly: "Master Hou, with Ayi here, Nanliang will never step into Huiling City for half a step."
Guan Yubai's brows wrinkled slightly, and said, "Nan Liang acted so recklessly in Luo Yue City, he must have sworn to win, but Luo Yue City has no way to deal with it, giving Nan Liang opportunities to take advantage of again and again. My lord, this marquis has always believed that the lord's southern border army will be able to defend the southern border, but now it seems that it is not good."
King Zhennan was even more irritable.
Blame it on the fact that this time, the fact is too much to make him want to be vague.
Although there is no persecution in the official language, the white characters make it difficult for him to avoid it.
The King of Zhennan picked up the tea cup, used the lid of the bowl to slowly leave the tea soup, took advantage of this effort to think for a moment, and said, "Master Hou has been thinking too much, Nanliang wants it because he can't please Huiling City. Use the imperial concubine to persecute A Yi... Nanliang is a small barbarian country, how can it be the opponent of my southern border hero?"
Guan Yubai said with a slightly stern expression: "My lord, please be careful." He said meaningfully, "This marquis has come to the Southern Border by holy orders, and the lord knows what the holy will is. Therefore, the southern border has no troops to pursue the imperial decree to attack Baiyue, and this lord can understand it. But now, according to the prince's will, Nanliang is not afraid at all. If so, why is this battle still stalemate?"
King Zhennan's face changed, and he immediately knew that he had said something wrong.
He was about to open his mouth to make up for it when he heard Guan Yubai continue: "...Your Majesty, is Nanjiang really powerless to obey the order, or is it deliberately letting Nanliang go, so that he doesn't want to obey the order?"
This sentence is already heart-wrenching, and King Zhennan's expression froze, and he blurted out: "Marquis Anyi, you can't talk nonsense."
"Your Highness, please calm your anger." Guan Yubai's expression was gentle, not at all aggressive, "This Marquis naturally believes that Your Highness will not disobey the decree. It's just that since we have arrived in the southern border, when will we go to war with Baiyue? It needs to be turned back to the emperor."
King Zhennan fell silent.
Since Guan Yubai arrived in the southern border, everything has been done safely, even if he said he can't go to war with Baiyue for the time being, he never said anything. Now... hey, now, Luo Yuecheng is really too unsatisfactory.
If you say that Nanliang is coming, the Southern Border may not be able to stop it. At that time, the emperor may send troops to support him.
But if you say that Nanliang is not worth mentioning at all, then you don't want to use it to avoid Baiyue, otherwise it will be a crime of disobeying the decree.
The left is not right, and the right is not right, no matter what you do, it seems that you will not be able to please.
How did things get like this...
King Zhennan sighed and couldn't help but say, "What about the meaning of Marquis Anyi?"
Guan Yubai thought about it for a long time, and when King Zhennan couldn't help but want to speak again, he said: "I want to go to Huiling City to see with my own eyes how the battle is going now."
King Zhennan looked solemn and confirmed, "Master Hou is going to Huiling City?"
Guan Yubai said bluntly: "This marquis has to go, and I hope that the prince will allow it."
