Chapter 173 Lake + Strategy
Daiyu suddenly discovered that her geography was not very good... I can't say that, I read some knowledge about maps and geology in the emperor's study, and only went to Shaanxi after arriving in the field, but she felt that it was not far from the border up.
Liangpi is delicious!Roujiamo is delicious!Lamb steamed buns are also good!
Send a boy down with a bowl to buy, buy it up and sit on the second floor to eat, looking at the bustling crowd downstairs by the window.
This ancient city full of yellow sand is full of people, and many people come here, looking for news about the treasure at a loss.
But until now, no one knows where the treasure is.
There are only countless people in the rivers and lakes, low-level bastards, speculators, adventurers, and unemployed vagrants who try their luck.
Among the several cities near the border, they crowded around like chickens without a head, breaking apart when they disagreed.
This is completely different from the legendary martial arts with swords, swords, blood and blood—although Daiyu saw several people who had just been hacked to death on the way into the city.
General Wen Tongming has guarded Tianshui Pass, Yanmen Pass, Yumen Pass, and Shanhaiguan Pass!The first three are all in the northwest, Shanhaiguan is in the northeast, and the people in the current martial arts are also divided into two directions.
The boys inquired about the news for a few days, because their identity was not enough, even if they had money, they could only buy news that was difficult to distinguish between true and false, or from the followers of other heroes. To get some information that God knows is true or not, none of it is real enough.
Holding a book of Lu You's poems, Daiyu looked at it slowly, and suddenly sighed and recited: "When I was young, I didn't know that the world was hated. The Central Plains looked north like a mountain. Buildings and boats crossed Guazhou on a snowy night, and iron horses scattered in the autumn wind. Fortress the Great Wall Kong Zixuan, the temples in the mirror are already stained. If you are a teacher, you will be the best in the world."
Yao Sanlang was eating melon seeds next to him: "Huh? Are you in a hurry? How about I go out and find out?"
Daiyu thought for a while: "I heard that you have been wandering around the rivers and lakes with the appearance of an old Taoist priest cheating money. Do you have any acquaintances?"
Yao Sanlang looked up to the sky and sighed: "I have met countless acquaintances along the way, but I have become young and beautiful, even if I meet, I should not know them."
Daiyu laughed and said, "You are so narrow-minded! Sanlang, you can try it, and find out the location so we can go and see what treasures are there. If we don't find out, let's do a fortune-telling and figure out the ins and outs."
Yao Yunqi was a little bit embarrassed: "Well, the meaning of the big brother asking us to come out to experience the world and enter the world of mortals is to let you use your own wisdom and force to solve the problems in the world, and I will be a servant by the side."
Daiyu was stunned, she didn't expect the elder brother to have such intentions, although she doubted that Yao Sanlang could not understand the elder brother's mind, but what she said was reasonable and reliable, it should be an exam and a test for me.
She hesitated a little, looking at the collection of poems in her hand, "Xiangpu" and "Cat Wan" next to her, the "Nixia incense" in the jade incense burner, the silver needle tea in the small lid cup of the official kiln, and she was embroidering a handkerchief next to her. The maid... seems to be a bit far from normal people's 'traveling the world'.
She put down the book, came out of the state of a young girl enjoying herself, and hooked her hands: "Come here."
Yao Sanlang hurried over: "What's wrong?"
Daiyu squinted her eyes and thought for a while, then said slowly, "Are you saying that the art of war and the treasure are real or fake? I think they are fake." Zhongliang like him would not do that kind of thing.But the news spread so far that even Suzhou knew about it.
Yao Sanlang nodded: "I also think it's fake. General Wen has a wife and a daughter. How could he have expected his wife to die early, and his daughter is a fool with no brains. How could it be such a coincidence that he only left his daughter a book of war? Not even a little money."
Daiyu sighed speechlessly, will you feel uncomfortable if you don't hurt her? "Where did this news come from? Brother Sanlang, you can inquire about this matter, and you can spend as much as you want. I just want to know who the source of the news is."
Yao Sanlang smiled calmly: "Mr. Mu, you just look at the poor Taoist. The poor Taoist has been in the rivers and lakes for decades. He has always been eating and drinking. You can get all the information by just talking to people." Come out and never pay yourself."
Daiyu said in her heart, you are so embarrassing, it is not good to take advantage, and what is the difference between eating and drinking and beggars.But he also thought of his face that was as thick as a city wall and as thin as paper skin at other times, forget it, it might hurt him if he said this. "Bring some money!"
Yao Sanlang had pink bubbles all over his body, and he was very happy to be ordered: "Yes, obey."
Daiyu watched him leave in confusion, and wanted to go out for a walk, but when she stood at the window and watched Brother Sanlang, she saw that both sides of the underground street were full of poor people with disheveled clothes, picking their nostrils, picking their feet, and catching lice. Han, mules and horses are shitting all over the place, and there are actually a few people kicking donkey dung balls for fun.There are also some 'informal' quacks who litter.
Okay, okay, I'm not going out, it's too disgusting.
Picking up "The Collection of Three Secrets and Six Strategies" to take a look, I couldn't read it even though I was holding the book, thinking in my heart, the godmother is also here, so where will she be?Forget it, I shouldn't be able to find her.
The information I have heard now is complicated and contradictory. To sum up, only a few points are the same:
Wen's art of war can command thousands of troops——
Believe it only if you are mentally retarded!If you can't become a general, who will give you command of thousands of troops!If there is no money in the treasury, who will give you command of thousands of troops!When my elder brother and the Ministry of War consider the appointment and removal of generals, they look at the person's record, command of the army, and background. Who cares who has a unique military book in your family.
Wen's treasures are in the tens of millions, rich enough to rival a country——
Pure fart!Everyone knows that General Wen governs the army as if he were his own son. He pushes food for food and undresses him. The emperor's rewards are also shared equally with the soldiers of the three armies. Shenxi; I regard my pawn as my beloved son, so I can die with him. 'Besides, the Supreme Emperor was very stingy back then, where did General Wen save his money!
Wen's Treasure is the property looted from the enemy country that year——
Nonsense!Those things were all sent to the capital, and my brother even complained to me about the aesthetics of the enemy country.
Fourth Sister Wen only knows that there is this treasure, but she doesn't know where it is. She has traveled the rivers and lakes and set off bloody storms many times, just to find the treasure——
My godmother is to learn cuisines from all over the country, I know.Killing people is her little hobby that does no harm and cultivates her temperament.
Zhuo Donglai was able to unite many bodyguard agencies in just a few years to form an unprecedented bodyguard agency with power covering all parts of the country. He did not start from scratch.This old thing is very thieves, seduced Fourth Sister Wen, obtained the treasure of the Wen family, and bought the government to cover the sky with one hand——
With all the brains of the eight hundred of you, you can't even come up with the little trick that Mr. Zhuo came up with when he was half asleep and half awake.Accept your fate, even if you find the treasure, with your brains that can believe in such rumors, you will still be deceived by liars.
Although Zhuo Donglai obtained one of the treasures, General Wen failed to tell his daughter the addresses of all the treasures. Zhuo Donglai often sent people to search for the deep mountains these years, just to find the treasure——
Hahahaha, in fact, they are looking for gold mines, silver mines, copper mines, jade mines, gemstone mines, coal mines, and places where Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng can be grown. Mr. Zhuo not only runs an escort agency, but also does business!
Thinking of this, Daiyu suddenly remembered the story that Ganniang told her that she and Mr. Zhuo formed a group to deceive Huang Jinlang, and the story of "ghost pressing the bed" and "turning stone into gold", and couldn't help laughing.
The means of Ganniang and Mr. Zhuo are several times higher than that of the fake old man, and the vision, mind and goal of the two are also more magnificent than that fake old man.Mr. Zhuo can tell from his attitude towards his godmother that Fourth Sister Wen was by no means an ordinary person in the past, and she is not now either. She always has an interesting, amiable and trustworthy aura.
After thinking for a long time, Yao Sanlang came back again. He shook his head in disappointment: "There's nothing new, and everyone here doesn't know the real news. It's the same as what I heard before, and there are some even more outrageous ones. Look at it." It was just made up."
Daiyu was unhappy, resting her chin on one hand, and lazily poured him a cup of tea with the other: "Thank you, let's sit down and talk. In my opinion, all these rumors have one thing in common."
Yao Sanlang was puzzled: "There is a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, what have they have in common?"
Daiyu sighed: "These rumors can only fool fools who are obsessed with money, not smart people. You see, anyone who has some brains and has a little understanding of Mrs. Wen's life story and Mr. Zhuo's family history can I don’t believe it, and those who believe it are people who follow what others say. It’s just that these people are together, and they are very capable.”
Yao Sanlang stroked his chin, showing an expression of fearing that the world would not be chaotic, and said cheerfully: "Mr. Mu, Xuanyu, why don't we spread some rumors?"
Daiyu sneered, and squinted at him: "I'm afraid the rumors I fabricated are too clever, and these people won't be able to react."
Yao Sanlang said infinitely softly: "It's okay, I can help you change the rumors to be a little silly."
Daiyu was caught laughing again, and she kept laughing, but before she could speak, she heard the sound of loud cursing and the clashing of swords downstairs.This kind of sound has appeared frequently recently, frequently like the sound of firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, one after another.
Daiyu always likes to be quiet, and doesn't like noisy and swearing words, but Xueyan can't block the sound when she closes the window, so she has no choice but to throw out the soundproof restraint: "Huh."
She picked up the lake pen next to her, dipped it in pine ink, thought for a while, and wrote in thin gold script: This is a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Someone spread rumors to make them travel thousands of miles away from home to fight for wealth, so that they can take advantage of it.
Yao Sanlang praised the "good words", and then read slowly: "The Xiang family took advantage of the loopholes, pulled out Qianliqing's details, and prepared the ultimate pestle. Well, they can understand this."
Daiyu nodded happily, and wrote: All of General Wen's treasures were dedicated to the emperor, so General Wen's redress was possible.
After she finished writing, she felt bad and wanted to erase it: "Sanlang, this compilation is not good. If there is a treasure to dedicate to my brother, my brother will really believe that General Wen has a backup, so how can he rehabilitate him."
Yao Sanlang comforted her: "Don't worry, they didn't think so much. Besides, there are many emperors who are open to money. Who do you think, the Hanling Emperor, the three princes and nine ministers can all be sold, and the people don't know if the emperor is good or not. "
Daiyu hesitated even more: "My brother is a good emperor. If I smear him like this, the unofficial history will be recorded in the future and passed down through the ages."
Yao Sanlang thought for a while, but was at a loss: "This episode is really good."
Daiyu suddenly slapped him, and said with a smile: "It's my father! The Supreme Emperor took the money and rehabilitated General Wen!" It deserves it.
Yao Yunqi applauded earnestly: "Great! We can also say that there is really no treasure. The Supreme Emperor thought there was a treasure and forced him to take money. Fourth Sister Wen has been working hard to save money all these years... I digressed, pretending I didn't say it. "
Daiyu giggled, and asked: "I want to go to Yanmen Pass and Yumen Pass where General Wen fought, but unfortunately it's not suitable now, I'm afraid people will think I have definite news." If I go there, maybe I can Write some good poems.
Heart said softly at the side: "Young master, before you leave, the master grants you the power to make impromptu decisions and dispatch commands. The bodyguard bureaus from all over the country will cooperate with you. If there is anything you want them to do, just order them, except for important things. Report to the master before making a decision, if you want to spread the news, or send people to do things with you, you can do it."
Daiyu remembered what Mr. Zhuo said before leaving, and happily wrote two more strokes on the paper, and handed it over: "Let them spread these two rumors, wait a minute, I will write a letter to Mr. Zhuo."
She briefly talked about the current situation, her decision, and future plans, then pushed Yao Sanlang again, and said softly, "Go away, don't look."
Yao Yunqi was a little depressed: "Why don't you let me see it? You have a secret with the emperor, but you also have a secret with Zhuo?"
Fortunately, I am a big-hearted person who doesn't like to be jealous. If I want to be jealous, I really want to drown in the vinegar vat.
Daiyu smiled sweetly: "Me? I just don't want you to see my future plans... just be obedient."
Make up a plan, follow my steps and implement it step by step, until the truth is finally revealed, everyone will be shocked, that would be interesting, if I let you know in advance, how can it appear that I am a hundred times smarter than the world?And I can't show off in front of others, I can only show off to you and my godmother.
Yao Sanlang was pinched by her ears, and became very docile, almost reaching the level of "the best kindness is like water" - limp into a ball and slumped on the table, softly said: "You can do whatever you want."
Daiyu's heart skipped a beat, she wanted to touch his face or pat his shoulder, but before she could make up her mind, he turned around and handed the ear to her... I don't know if it was on purpose or not, forget it, the ear Soft and cool to the touch is so fun.
After a while, Hongtao brought back a letter, saying in her heart, how about giving the Yin family's brilliant deeds of catching monsters to Fourth Sister Wen?
Daiyu blinked, and said to herself: It's too late for you, the affairs of the Yin family have become so twists and turns in Yin Hu's description, and it's too late for me to give up my reputation to my godmother.Reply: Mu Xuanyu is a pseudonym, arranged by Mr. Zhuo.
…………
The emperor had already returned to the palace and started working hard on the printing machine every day. He had nothing to do and went to lie down in the bamboo hut for a while, sighing: "Why did I let Daiyu out of the palace! She can help me write a lot of things ..."
"This hut is really clean and comfortable. Although Yao Sanlang looks poor, but judging from his elegant demeanor, he is still a family member. Don't you think so?"
The good friend handed him a glass of wine: "Yes, Erlang, you are in a hurry to find me, what's the big deal?"
The emperor lay on the small platform of the bamboo stilted building, and lazily turned over: "Come and sit here, and use it as a pillow for me."
The queen didn't let me sleep on my lap, she said that as soon as I got close to her, she would 'feel it~', now I really regret why I said that Shou Xiao was not close to women for three years for the sake of reputation!I can't bear the temptation of women's sex at all!
Zhuo Donglai took off his cloak and folded it carefully, used it as a pillow for him, and sat beside him: "Is the height okay?"
The emperor thought about it, shook his head and tried it: "The incense powder you use is Suhexiang, which is really elegant."
Zhuo Donglai nodded slightly: "Yes."
The emperor's eyes rolled, and he laughed: "I remember you used to use orchid-scented clothes to smoke, why did you suddenly change it, did you get real orchids? Huh?" Your stupid and cute sister Zelan.
Although Zhuo Donglai has always been calm and indifferent, he couldn't help showing a look of 'the past is too bad to look back' on his face. The scent of orchids on his clothes was a hint to her, this idiot... never smelled the scent of orchids! ! !How much money did I waste!
The emperor laughed hahaha, rather gloating: "My wife is close at hand, but I can't hug her. You don't have such a taboo in Donglai, but your wife is thousands of miles away, hahahaha~" Happy!
Zhuo Donglai said: "Oh, if I didn't want to accompany you, I would have gone with her."
The emperor feels a little sweet, well, I won’t laugh at you: "This is the memorial of the Minister of War today, and this is the memorial of several other defenses. They said that a large number of unknown martial arts people gathered at the border, and I am afraid that there will be chaos. .”
I just laughed a few words, but when I mentioned this topic, I couldn't laugh anymore.If there are many people, it is easy to be instigated. Second, especially in places as important as the border, the southern border is developing, and the countries in the Western Regions have some unclear meanings, and they seem to have plans.
"Will someone from the enemy country provoke this matter behind the scenes?"
Zhuo Donglai was silent for a long time, then sighed: "I don't know."
"Who is spreading this rumor?"
"I do not know."
"Where does this rumor lead people to?"
"I do not know."
The emperor was a little worried: "Donglai, I rarely hear you say you don't know."
Zhuo Donglai said: "Yes, I know many things, but I don't know anything about this matter." He drank a glass of wine slowly.
The emperor saw that he was in a low mood, so he got up and squeezed his shoulder: "Dong Lai, don't worry too much. If you don't know, you don't know. With your power and wisdom, can't we solve the problem on the fly? No matter what it is Xiaoxiao’s generation, as long as they dare to hook up with foreign tribes and mess with our country, they can directly destroy the other nine tribes. Bear with the small things and take care of the overall situation, it’s all right. If it’s really big, it’s not difficult to destroy them with the strength of the army.”
Zhuo Donglai: You are so warm!
He pondered for a while: "Although I don't know the details, it's not impossible to do anything." He took out a letter from his arms: "This is a letter from the eldest princess. The letter puts forward a guess, which I think makes sense."
The emperor took it over and looked at it, then slapped his thigh: "Longdong, this method is good."
Zhuo Donglai silently took his hand off his thigh: "Don't shoot me."
The emperor shook his hands: "Tsk, it will hurt to shoot yourself. You call a few people, find a rich 'hero' who is involved in this matter, and rob his house. Don't care what this person's purpose is, he wants Make people move, I want them all to go home and watch over their wives."
Zhuo Donglai smiled softly: "Already started to prepare." The target has been chosen, one poor and one rich, both are famous, but they haven't decided who to send to snatch.
The emperor thought for a while: "Wen's going to the border, besides inquiring about this matter, do you want to offer sacrifices to General Wen?"
If you want to pay homage to General Wen, you can also take the opportunity to guide the martial arts people who plan to make trouble there to burn, kill and loot the enemy's country.
Yes, our China is a country of etiquette, but it has been a thing since ancient times for a chivalrous man to break a ban with martial arts~
Zhuo Donglai hesitated: "I want her to sacrifice once, but she doesn't want to use her father's deeds to put gold on her face. If you say a few words about her, she will cry, and I don't have the heart to say it." The fat man really cried for me with his mouth flattened. He cried miserably. If she turned up against me, I could suppress her, but she cried so sadly, forget it.
The emperor pondered for a while. He knew that the filial piety priests he played recently had gained a good reputation, so he sent someone to steal the top-secret information written by the historian to read. very partial.
Pulling his lapel, he sighed reluctantly: "You are his son-in-law, you should go to sacrifice once. The place where General Wen was injured, the place where he fought, the place where he died, and the place where his bones were buried, you should go to sacrifice once." , so that they know that Zhongliang will marry after Zhongliang, and we must be consistent with the outside world." Donglai, your reputation is not good.
Zhuo Donglai's heart almost melted: "Okay."
It is enough to have a confidant in life.
Besides, I have two~
In the entire martial arts world, only Fourth Sister Wen was fighting seriously.
She jumped down from the second floor, and kicked a big man who was eight feet tall and dressed in brocade embroidery three meters away, and shouted in a deep voice: "Get out!" Hold the grass, this man is so strong.
The big man was very resistant to beatings. Although it hurt a little, he still got up and bulged his muscles to scare the short man: "Do you know who grandpa is?"
Who is Fourth Sister Wen!How can you be afraid of such a thing?There was a kind of sincere contempt in her eyes (Arnuo's muscles are much more beautiful than yours, fat man), the steel knife at her waist was half out of its sheath, and the tip of her tongue pressed against the upper tooth hall, with a little internal force: "Get lost!"
The big man didn't accept it at all, he turned around and grabbed his machete, raised the knife and charged.
There were many cute exclamations and a large group of rough men shouting indiscriminately.
The dwarf was as light as a goose feather, as nimble as a flying squirrel, and lightly landed behind the big man, holding a dirty ball of hair in his hand, and said contemptuously: "Hey, check if your head is still there."
A piece next to it: "Hiss!"
"Hey~!"
"Nest day!"
"Young lady!"
"Shame on you!"
The big man was a little confused, raised his hand and touched his head, feeling that his head was still there, but there seemed to be something wrong, huh?Where's my bun?
The dwarf threw the ball of hair in his hand on the ground as if touching a hot potato: "Fuck you! Don't you know how to wash your head with lice?"
There was laughter beside him.
The dwarf's face was gloomy, and he threatened the companions next to the big man with a knife: "Aren't you going to take out the bird to pee and wash him?"
The big man yelled violently and was about to go up for his life, but was held back by his companions—a few other big men: "We can't beat it!" Take Grandpa's head!"
Fourth Sister Wen drew out the knife and flicked it with her finger.
The fellow of the big man rushed over and clasped his fists to make amends: "Don't blame me, sir, our guy drank two mouthfuls of cat urine, and played an asshole in front of his father. He doesn't know Taishan today. Thank you, sir, for your kindness and forgiveness of his nickname." , let's take him to wash his hair now."
Having said that, Fourth Sister Wen, who really wanted to kill someone, had no choice but to flick the knife coldly: "This knife was bought for 3000 taels of silver, how much is his broken head worth? Hmph."
The old bustard gave a look, and the girls next to him also came to smooth things over, smiling coquettishly with a body full of fragrance from the left and right, one said: "Fourth brother, you are so majestic!" The other said: "Fourth master, you are really awesome money!"
Coaxing this 'fourth brother' to go back and drink for fun.
Fourth Sister Wen murmured with her mouth: "Listen to the song carefully, he just wants to make trouble, and I don't appreciate it if I don't kill him. Hmph, what the hell!"
There was an old wealthy businessman next to him who saw her good skills, so he was willing to say a few words to her: "This fourth brother, what you said is very true. Our place was originally the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. It's really an eyesore. If it wasn't for Sang Shisanniang's good voice, I wouldn't want to come here, it's too messy."
Fourth Sister Wen said: "Isn't that right? There is a saying that a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. You should be careful when you go out, huh. Hey? Brother, how do you know that the treasure is nothing?" She whispered: "For I have resigned from two deals for this treasure."
The author has something to say: Daiyu plays in the high-end arena, while Fourth Sister Wen is good at sneaking into the bottom.
I feel that the writing of this chapter...is not satisfactory. It doesn't write out the feeling of fighting wits, conspiracy/chaotic situation I want, and it always seems to be close.What do you think?
I didn't insinuate what~
