Chapter 377: The monk in white enters the customs?
They did not struggle with this issue for too long. After all, all the answers lay in Daxing City, and there was still a long way to go back to Daxing City.
To be completely safe.
So, after a hurried breakfast, everyone tidied up and continued to mount their horses.
After yesterday's heavy rain, there was no longer a cloud in the sky today, but the sun was still in the sky, making them all covered in oil. But at this time, no one complained, everyone was just bored. As he hurried on, his pace was much faster than before.
For several days, there were no more dangers on the road.
At dusk three days later, they arrived at Tongguan.
When the Tongguan guard saw the Prime Minister's second son, he hurriedly welcomed them into the pass. Not only did he immediately arrange a residence, he also held a banquet that night to welcome the second son Yuwen and the young lady.
After running around for several days, Shang Ruyi finally took a nice bath.
Putting on some decent clothes, Shang Ruyi sat in front of the bronze mirror and asked Tu Sheer to comb her hair. Tusheer looked at Shang Ruyi, who looked brand new in the bronze mirror and looked very energetic and beautiful, and smiled and said: "After washing like this, the lady will look energetic."
Shang Ruyi looked at herself in the bronze mirror and said with a smile: "Really?"
"Of course,"
Tu Sheer was combing her long black hair and seemed to be sighing. Said: "Fortunately, my uncle is here, so the Tongguan guard will arrange this residence for us. Otherwise, Miss will not I don’t know how long I will have to sleep in the open air.”
Shang Ruyi looked at her in the bronze mirror again and couldn’t help laughing: “Why, do you think he is better now?”
Tusher vomited. Tongue, said: "As long as the young lady has a good life, it will be good."
Shang Ruyi shook his head helplessly and smiled.
After a while, my hair was combed. Although the utensils in the place were very rudimentary, and Tu Sheer could only give her a simple bun, he still took out two pieces of jewelry for her to wear, which made her look more solemn and swept away the lack of simplicity of the previous few months. .
At this time, there was a creak from the side and the door was pushed open.
Shang Ruyi turned around and saw Yu Wenye walking in.
He has also just washed himself, and now he is wearing a plain gown. Although it is just a simple and clean outfit, he has a handsome face and a tall figure, and even simple clothes can be worn by him. She has an aura of nobility, especially after two days of rolling around in mud soup, and suddenly looking so refreshingly dressed, it is even more difficult to look away.
Shang Ruyi immediately averted his eyes.
But my heart still beats uncontrollably.
When Yu Wenye saw her, his eyes seemed to light up. He walked over calmly, looked at Shang Ruyi, and then said: "Are you ready?"
Picture Sheer immediately put down the comb: "Uncle, everything is fine."
Yu Wenye looked down at her again: "Let's go."
Shang Ruyi nodded, then stood up and followed him out to attend the banquet.
It is said to be a banquet, but in fact it means a table of fairly sumptuous meals. But for people who have lived in the open for several days, a spacious room, clean tables and chairs, and sumptuous food and wine are already rare. Enjoy, and the guard said very politely: "This place is simple. The food and wine are shabby, I hope the young lady won’t take it too seriously.”
Yu Wenye said, “It’s very good here, you have your heart.”
The guard said, “Please. Take a seat.”
So, the two people walked over and sat down.
The guard general's name was Chu Zhengfei. He was in his thirties, and he was very reliable in his words and deeds. Although there were only three people at the table, and Yu Wenye didn't talk much, and Shang Ruyi didn't talk much. He was the only one holding the cup to toast, and the atmosphere was also... Not cold.
After drinking for three rounds, Yu Wenye said: "I looked at General Chu with surprise. It seems that you were not the one guarding Tongguan before." When Chu Zhengfei heard this, he smiled and put down the wine glass in his hand, and said: "One day As the emperor and the courtiers, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, there will naturally be The dispatch of many personnel has just been transferred to Tongguan."
"Where were you leading the troops before?"
"Xia, it turned out to be. Captain Zuo Xiaowei”
"Oh..."
Hearing the words Zuo Xiaowei, a light flashed in Yu Wenye's eyes, and he smiled slightly: "It turns out that you are a subordinate of General Yu Dingxing, Zuo Xiaowei. "
Chu Zhengfei said: "Yes."
Yu Wenye said: "This one. This time...General Yu made great achievements."
When he mentioned this, Chu Zhengfei showed a strange look on his face. He smiled and said, "That was also General Yu Shuntian Ying. When the time comes, we should take advantage of the situation. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the family to be as prosperous as it is today.”
The prosperity of the family?
Hearing these four words, Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi looked at each other.
Chu Zhengfei seemed to feel that he had said too much, and immediately smiled and said: "That's far away. General Yu is already a matter within Daxing City. I have no other merits, so I can only guard for a while. Tongguan.”
Yu Wenye remained calm. He said: "Securing Tongguan is also a great achievement."
As he said that, he looked at Chu Zhengfei again and said: "There happens to be something I want to ask General Chu. Is there anyone these days? Transporting saltpeter, sulfur and other substances in and out of Tongguan”
"Saltpeter? Sulfur?"
Chu Zhengfei said: "Aren't these used for making gunpowder?"
Yu Wenye said: "Yes, has General Chu discovered anything?"
< br>Chu Zhengfei Road : "No."
He answered so quickly, which surprised Shang Ruyi, who had been silent. She subconsciously wanted to ask again, but Yu Wenye winked at her, and she thought for a moment. , and immediately pursed his lips.
On the contrary, Chu Zhengfei smiled and said: "I wonder why the second young master asked about this?"
Yu Wenye said: "It's nothing, I just found some traces of saltpeter and sulfur on the road. I am worried that someone is transporting these things. What to do when entering the pass? Since General Chu didn’t. If we find out, it must be no big deal. "
Chu Zhengfei said: "Thank you for your trust, Second Master.
As he spoke, he raised his glass again, and the three of them drank together.
After putting down the glass, Shang Ruyi thought about it again, and then asked: "By the way, General Chu, since you have investigated the past and investigated people and objects, have you seen anything in the past two days? A monk in white enters the customs? ”
Hearing this, Chu Zhengfei's hand holding the wine glass seemed to tremble.
But he put down the wine glass calmly, immediately raised his head, and said with a smile: "Why does the young lady ask this?"
Shang Ruyi said: "Oh, it's nothing. I met a monk in white clothes on the road a few days ago. He seemed to have profound cultivation. , but I haven’t seen him since. I want to ask him about Buddhism, so I want to ask him if he has entered the customs?”
Chu Zhengfei smiled and said, “That’s hard to say.”< br>
Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi looked at each other, and both felt that his words seemed to have a deeper meaning.
Yu Wenye immediately said: "What do you mean by General Chu?"
