Chapter 285 Morning Fog


Chapter 285 Morning Fog

The fog started in the early morning, covering the inside and outside of the ancient city of Hangzhou in a mist. The waterways and city walls were shadowy. In the wilderness, one could not see the movement three or two feet away. Occasionally, there were The carriage passing by at a slow speed appeared in the rider's field of vision like a wild beast. After a moment, it disappeared into the white vastness at the other end of the field of vision and disappeared.

After opening my eyes, the visible fog temporarily calmed down the chill from last night, dividing the solemn and solemn atmosphere in the city into small areas that could only be seen. There were more soldiers on the city wall, but the surroundings were confused and the morning dew was heavy. Soldiers in twos and threes just lit a brazier and sat around chatting about last night's turmoil and family disputes. Occasionally, generals came by and stood up again.

In the overlapping courtyards in the city, the sound of cocks crowing and dogs barking has not yet been heard. People who got up early were not in a hurry to go out, they lit fires, lit lamps, and waited at home for changes in the situation. All the sounds of movement and whispers were soon submerged in the rolling mist.

In the small courtyard located behind Wenlie Academy on Xiliu Street, the yellowish lights were already on, the bedroom door opened, and the girl who had just gotten up and was not yet neatly dressed stepped out of the threshold. When she looked back, the young scholar with a bandage on his head rubbed his eyes and wanted to follow him. The scholar had a mature and steady temperament, but he was not too old after all. At this time, he was injured and looked like he was not awake. The girl turned around Go, pouted and said something, and then pushed and pushed the scholar to go back to sleep.

The warm yellow light and shadow swayed slightly, and the two of them stood in a stalemate at the door for a moment. The girl, who was originally a maid, but now also a concubine, moved her hands and feet, confidently, but her expression was quite aggrieved. The scholar made a few moves to show that he was in good health, but the reason seemed not to be accepted by the other party. After a while, the scholar reluctantly grabbed the girl's clothes and pulled her back into the room. The girl was stunned for a moment, and her arrogance suddenly dropped, and she shrank her neck: "Ah..."

The door was closed.

"Auntie, uncle...it's going to be dawn...well..."

No matter how strong the aura that occasionally appears, a lamb is still a lamb after all. It’s hard to describe in detail what a little sheep will go through if it falls into the hands of a big bad wolf. Most of the time, it will have to wear its clothes again. In the process, our vision left the courtyard below. The fog covered it up again and again. In the distance, in the official office where the Black Wing Guard is currently located, a young man named An Xifu is sitting at the table reading the summarized documents. I don’t know if he has been busy all night or just got up. When he saw the Ba Dao Camp When names such as Ning Liheng and Ning Liheng came into view, he reached out to pick the wick of the oil lamp. After a while, he put the notice aside.

In another courtyard in the city, Chen Fan was shirtless after finishing his exercise and poured a bucket of cold well water on his body. Heat rose from his skin and he let out a long breath. . As an unemployed vagrant in Ning Yi's words, there isn't much to do except exercise and visit the house every day. He has been paying close attention to the group of children at Wenlie Academy recently. Not long after, I went out with a burrito in my mouth. When I passed the door of the courtyard next door, I saw the door of this family's courtyard wide open in the mist. The people inside seemed to be anxiously busy with something in and out. I vaguely remembered that in the middle of the night At that time, someone seemed to come to ask about their family. It was probably because they lost their family last night. The public security in Hangzhou was not peaceful. He rolled his eyes. This was An Xifu's matter and had nothing to do with him.

The field of vision returned to the city wall to the north. Blood rose up in the white mist. The sword light slashed the soldier's neck. Next to it, a spear flew through the air after bringing out a large amount of blood. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared outside the city wall. Traces.

The human figure appeared suddenly, as fast as a passing locust. During the sprint, each sword and gun was drawn out. The soldiers in front were killed before they could even make a sound. The speed of the charging figure did not change after drawing the sword. When the figures crossed each other, they hugged the soldier's body with his neck cut open, and slowly leaned the body against the female wall. The companions beside him tied and threw the rope. Land quickly out of the city.

On the city side, in the temporary palace of the Yongle Dynasty, the court meeting had been going on for some time. In fact, the court meetings after the establishment of the Yongle Dynasty were not held often. The rebels were not so particular. The leaders could meet and hold meetings at any time. However, because of the rebellion last night, this morning's court meeting was obviously necessary. of. After Qi Yuankang's death, how to fill the gap and how to divide the interests have already been decided, but there are still many things that need to be discussed and determined. The not-too-long political discussion had come to an end at this time. After retreating from the court, Fang La left several senior officials to have breakfast with him. Queen Shao Xianying also came out to accompany him. This was equivalent to a family banquet.

“The world is full of turmoil, and as soon as I enter the world, time rushes me...I...I heard that when I took Qi Yuankang last night, this was a poem written by Qi Qian? What a good poem...”

It has been a while since he took the throne, but when facing some old brothers, Fang La is not used to calling himself myself like me. At this time, when he talked about the song "Swordsman", there was a bit of surprise in his smile. Queen Shao on the side laughed and said: "I felt strange after hearing this. This child is usually the best at wielding swords and guns, but I didn't expect that she would come up with such a poem. I know she admires talented people... ...Two prime ministers, you are both well-educated people and are familiar with Sissi. Do you think this poem was written by her? "

Among the people present, Lou Minzhong was a well-educated scholar. After pondering for a while, Lou Minzhong said: "Poetry is so broad and profound that it is difficult to tell who wrote it or not for whom it was written at a glance. But Sissi usually seems to be messing around. , in fact, she is a very wise person, I don’t think she would be here "Shao Xianying is not a scholar, and he only regards Liu Xigua as a junior. He asked the question casually, but Lou Minzhong is a mature and prudent person, and scholars also take this aspect very seriously. In this circle, If someone ruins his reputation due to plagiarism, it will be difficult for him to get along in the future. Although Liu Xigua was not in this industry, he only gave an ambiguous reply at this time. Zu Shiyuan on the side laughed after he finished speaking.

“The great wisdom mentioned by Lou Xiang is indeed true. To be honest, the poem is actually simple and to the point. It does not use too many allusions and does not have too many obscure words, but the boldness and ambition in it are quite amazing. If it weren't for someone who is bold and unruly, I probably wouldn't be able to do it. To be honest, I think this poem is exactly the same as our Da Biao girl's style. I’m afraid I can’t write a poem like this, and it’s unlikely that someone will write it for me...”

After Zu Shiyuan finished speaking, others talked about it, and a man sitting a little further away frowned. Frowning: "However, this sentence of grand ambition and hegemony is a bit exaggerated..." This man's name is Gao Yu, he is a minister, and he is quite capable. However, although he was left behind at this time, among this group of people , the qualifications are not that generous. He said what he said, and Fang La waved his hand over there.

“Haha, what’s the matter? Hongtu Hegemony is just joking around. What Ba Daoying has done over the years is not Hongtu Hegemony? Oh, Xianying, looking back at the beginning, the little girl was quite ambitious. She wanted to be a Where is the female emperor? I am also I agreed to her. Although her surname is not Fang, I regard her as my legitimate daughter, and I will have to grant her permission in the future. Gao Qing’s family, don’t let her hear this, or she will hunt you down with a knife. , I can’t keep it..."

Gao Yu was submissive. Although the queen next to her, Shao Xianying, smiled, she frowned and said softly: "If this poem was really written by Little Watermelon, wouldn't it sound... a bit decadent? Talking and laughing about grand plans and hegemony are more than a drunken life, The world is like the tide and people are like water..."

Fang La was stunned for a moment: "After so many years, maybe... this kid is feeling a little tired..."

When he said this, he couldn't help but think of all the experiences of the uprising along the way, from the death of Liu Dabiao, Until Qi Yuankang's rebellion last night, all kinds of people he had seen and died around him. Naturally, the girl named Xigua also watched all this pass, and then slowly grew up. It's just that when a man thinks about some things, his mood is naturally different from that of a woman. Several people in the palace who were familiar with Liu Xigua thought about it and sighed: "Qianqian has grown up too."

Afterwards, Zu Shiyuan said: "Speaking of which, our Liu family girl has also grown up. You're already old enough to get married." When he said this, he looked at Lou Minzhong beside him.

Fang La also sighed: "We are always fighting, fighting back and forth, and we are delayed... I have never met anyone who is suitable."

Shao Xianying said: "I haven't seen any suitable people, but this kid is very ambitious, and I haven't seen anyone he likes... Speaking of which, we elders don't care much. Da Biao is dying. At that time, the child was entrusted to us...Husband, do you think...should we also find someone for the child? "

Shao Xianying is a hero among women. She was in charge of military affairs with Fang Baihua at the beginning. Although she became the queen at this time, Fang La still had her original title. In her opinion, Nian If a girl in her late twenties is tired, it is naturally because she is so old but does not have a husband yet. Fang La nodded: "But who should we look for? In all these years, have you ever seen her pretending to be nice to any man? Especially for this kind of thing, if we find one and he cuts him with a knife, How can we spread the word?"

The incident when Lou Jingzhi was almost killed by a knife was still fresh in his mind. It's not that cheating on a few people is a big deal, but a girl's family still needs reputation. If she really cheats on the man she's dating, how will she find her husband's family in the future? Speaking of the second half, Fang La couldn't help but lower his voice. Shao Xianying whispered: "How about Chen Fan?"

"It's wrong for two people to fight when they meet. You say they are happy enemies. If they fight all day long after they get married, who can stand it..."< br>
Just as he was talking, Zu Shiyuan over there interrupted with a smile: "How is Mr. Lou?"

"Who?"

"Which Mr. Lou?"

"The eldest son of Prime Minister Lou."

It is not an overly formal occasion, Lou Minzhong and Zu Shiyuan pay The relationship was not bad, so Lou Minzhong just sighed and glanced at him: "Prime Minister, although the Lou family and the Liu family are family friends, I also prefer Qianqian as my daughter-in-law, but you don't know that the dog was almost hacked to death. Said, why bring up the joke again..."

"This is not a joke." Zu Shiyuan said with a smile, "The two of them didn't have a close relationship at the beginning, but Sissi had that kind of temper and caused trouble. It was quite embarrassing, but after these contacts, maybe there has been a turn for the better? I heard that Sissi was attacked last night, and Jingzhi was at the scene to help..."< br>


Lou Minzhong frowned: "Is there such a thing?"

"Did Jingzhi not explain it in detail when he went back?"

The assassination of Liu Dabiao by the three brothers of the Qi family the night before was reported everywhere. The information was actually a bit vague, but the main meaning came out. Liu Dabiao and Lou Jingzhi worked side by side to fight with the assassins led by Qi Xinyong, Qi Xinyi and Qi Xinhan. During this period, it was also explained that the matter was deliberately arranged by Liu Dabiao to settle the grudges with the rules of the world, and Lou Jingzhi was in the right place. No matter what the situation was, Ning Liheng was naturally omitted.

Lou Minzhong knew about his son's assassination last night, but the source of the news was different. Lou Jingzhi returned home feeling disgraced, and of course he never mentioned Liu Xigua. Lou Minzhong had a lot of things to deal with. Of course he was relieved to know that his son was fine and ignored it for the time being. But Zu Shiyuan saw it this morning, and started to have some reveries in his mind. Whether it was a hero saving a beauty, a beauty saving a hero, or a private meeting on the long street fighting side by side, of course there would be drama between young children. He wanted to be a good cause, so he said it now, which shocked Lou Minzhong. After all, he was quite fond of this girl who single-handedly supported the Ba Dao camp. If his son really had hope, he would of course be happy to see it. Its success.

Lou Minzhong's attitude was ambiguous, Zu Shiyuan laughed happily, and everyone started gossiping. When Zu Shiyuan added some details about last night's situation and his own speculations, everyone suddenly felt that there was something interesting, and everyone gathered around You and I discussed this matter word by word.

After all, the children are getting older, so they really need to consider getting married, right... (End of Chapter)
