Volume 1 Small Events in a Big City Chapter 44 A Temple on a Mountain and a Pot of Wine

Xiao Jinyan jumped out of the window of Baihua Building and was relieved to confirm that Yu Wenshuang had not caught up. Then he remembered that he had to work hard all night tonight, and had nothing to eat except a pot of wine, and his stomach began to rebel, and he was already hungry.

Not far away, there was a banner with the words "Youjia Wontons". Under the dim light, the owner of the wonton stall was dozing off. Because he was close to Baihua Building, the discount stall closed late. Some guests who did not stay overnight would be very beneficial to their health after going out.

Xiao Jinyan came to the stall, ordered a big bowl, and was about to have a meal when a beggar with disheveled hair and ragged clothes walked over with a smile and asked, "Brother..."

Xiao Jinyan covered the wonton and said, "I haven't eaten either, I have no money to give you."

The beggar said, "I'm not a beggar."

Xiao Jinyan: "Then are you?"

The beggar looked around and saw that there was no one. He took out a small bag from his arms and asked secretly, "Brother, I saw that you are a regular visitor to Baihualou. A talent like you must be a handsome man and has countless romantic encounters. As a man, as he grows older, do you feel unable to do it? Do you think the time is too short? I happen to have a bag of Dali Pills here, just one pill, to ensure that you are alive and lively and energetic..."

Xiao Jinyan sneered, "Look at me, this poor dress, seems to be someone who needs Daliwan?"

The beggar said again, "That's okay. My big strength pill has the function of strengthening the principal and cultivating the Yuan..." If you want to say it again, Xiao Jinyan was a little impatient and shouted, "Go away, my wontons are cold!"

The beggar whispered: "Oh the Taohua brand?"

Xiao Jinyan was shocked and sneaked into Baihua Building and searched for peach blossoms for a night, but there was no result. A beggar here took the initiative to contact him. Could this be the person who was in contact with Vancouver? He was not sure and asked tentatively: "Peach Blossom?"

The beggar said: "A temple on the top of the mountain is a pot of wine."

Xiao Jinyan said: "My second uncle Wu Sanwu brought wine."

Beggar: "Eat three taels of wine and three handfuls of meat."

Xiao Jinyan: "Who is your second uncle?"

"Dad Shanshan!"

"The odd change does not change!"

"Symbols look at the quadrant!"

"How many flowers do you carry?"

"A pot of wine hangs on your waist!"

The beggar quickly knelt down on the ground, "I am the sixth department of the Dengwenyuan, and I will see the Deputy Supervisor!"

What Xiao Jinyan said to him just now was the exclusive incision code of the people in Dengwenyuan. Except for the people in Dengwenyuan, outsiders did not know about it, so they helped him up, "Do you know me?"

The beggar named Genhao said respectfully, "Six years ago, I joined Dengwen Academy and was trained under the Sixth Department of Mr. Chen. I had met the adults at the in-house conference. If the adults hadn't been looking for peach blossoms around Baihua Building just now, to be honest, I wouldn't recognize them!"

Although Xiao Jinyan's appearance has not changed much in the past few years, his temperament has changed. In the past, he was young and crazy, but now he has become more calm and composed.

Genhao asked: "Didn't it mean that Lord Wen will come here in person?"

Xiao Jinyan sighed, "Vancouver was killed in Suzhou City half a month ago."

When Genhao heard the news, he was silent. Seeing that there was tears in his eyes, Xiao Jinyan sighed, thinking that this gentleman was also a person with temperament, so he said, "You cannot be resurrected by death, so you should not be too sad."

Gen said: "It's not because of this."

"Then why are you filled with tears in your eyes? Isn't you love deeply?"

Genhao wiped his tears, "I owed me ten taels of silver when I was gambled back then, but I haven't paid it back. When he went there, who would I ask for the money I had to go?"

Xiao Jinyan comforted, "Brother, I am so sorry for the changes. Let's talk about these accounts later. You found Lord Wen and said that there was evidence of Yuwen Tianlu's rebellion in Yangzhou. Where is the evidence now?"

Genhao said, "Three years ago, under the order of Mr. Chen, I sneaked into Western Chu to do fur business. Through layers of relationships, I met Tutuo, the king's court of Western Chu. In the past few years, relying on his relationship, I smuggled tea and silk from the Central Plains to Western Chu, and sold cowhide and sheepskin from Western Chu to the Central Plains, making a lot of silver. Half a year ago, Tutuo not only went to the Ming Dynasty under the order of the Emperor of Western Chu to send me the Ming Dynasty. I became his consultant and guide, accompanying him throughout the journey.

On the tenth day of April this year, Tuotuo not only secretly met Yuwen Tianlu in the capital. After returning, he looked restless. On the second day, he set off to leave the capital and took a few masters from Western Chu to go south to Suzhou City. Along the way, we were wandering in the day and night, and our whereabouts were very secret. When we arrived in Yangzhou, we were attacked by Shuanglong Mountain bandits. The entire team was wiped out. I only escaped by pretending to be dead."

Xiao Jinyan asked, "What are the martial arts skills of those Western Chu masters?"

"We have a total of about ten people, one is one in the Great Zhixuan Realm, three in the Zhixuan Chu Realm, and the rest are masters of the Wen Realm."

Xiao Jinyan had met those people from Shuanglong Mountain before, but they were just a group of mobs. Not to mention the Zhixuan Realm, even people from ordinary hearing Realm could sweep across Shuanglong Mountain. It is certain that those who ambushed must be pretending to be the green forest of Shuanglong Mountain.

Genhao said again: "Tutuo not only hit the rookie, but died on the spot. I took the opportunity to get his package, but found out that it was a letter written by Yuwen Tianlu to the King of Xichu."

Genhao took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to Xiao Jinyan.

The fire lacquer on the envelope had already fallen off, but Xiao Jinyan took it, but the letter was written in Western Chu literature. Yuwen Tianlu had lurked in Western Chu language and was familiar with the language of Western Chu. It was not surprising that he could write letters in Chinese.

"I can't understand, what is it?"

Genhao explained: "Yuwen Tianlu told Tuotuo not only that Chu Bieli, the second son of the Western Chu State who took office as emperor, is currently being detained in the Suzhou City prison. Yuwen Tianlu also reached an agreement with them to send the nineteen cities in the western front to Chu Bieli to help him regain the throne of the Great Chu."

For decades, the Western Chu royal court and the Ming Dynasty had been fighting in the Western Front. Twenty years ago, its national strength was even far superior to the Ming Dynasty. However, overnight, the old emperor died suddenly. The eldest son Chu Hao, who is now the mad sword Chu Ritian, became obsessed with practice. The second son Chu Bieli, who originally had the right to inherit the throne, suddenly disappeared. Only then did the third son Chu Qiu successfully ascended the throne and became the current Emperor of Chu.

The third prince Chu Qiu ascended the throne. Due to the imbalance between the power between the royal courts, the entire Western Chu State's power has been greatly reduced. In addition, Yuwen Tianlu's military strategy was used to take the initiative on the Western Front and took the opportunity to bring the nineteen cities in the western front to the Ming Dynasty. Since then, although there has been friction between the two countries, Western Chu has no strength to send troops to the Central Plains again.

Unexpectedly, after twenty years, Chu Bieli appeared in Suzhou. Xiao Jinyan speculated that the sudden death of the Western Chu Emperor and the civil strife in the Western Chu King's Court must have Yuwen Tianlu's means.

In this way, the Western Chu Kuang Dao came to Suzhou to find the Golden Knife Li Qiuyi duel, and it is likely that his duel was a cover. His real purpose was very likely to be for the heir of the former Western Chu royal court, Chu Bieli.

But why did Yuwen Tianlu tell Tuotuo not to be? If he gave the nineteen cities in the western front to Chu Bieli, it was not just a rebellion, but a treason. Was Yuwen Tianlu's doing this instructed by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty or out of selfishness?

If this letter is handed over to Li Chuntie of Dengwenyuan, it will be a fatal blow to Yuwen Tianlu.

Xiao Jinyan put the letter in his arms and sent a sword to the capital to report the letter. It won’t take long to bring back the news from the capital, and then see what arrangements President Li will make.

Although he decided not to care about the affairs of the world, with Vancouver's death, he was already involved in the struggle between the world and the temple, and no matter what, he could not get out. When the affairs of Yangzhou came, he would return to Suzhou, where Li Qingcheng and Zhao Langjiang were all waiting for him.

After Xiao Jinyan said goodbye, Genhao followed the dark path and came to a private house. A dark shadow asked in secret: "Have you handed that letter to Xiao Jinyan?"

Genhao said respectfully: "I have given it."

The man said, "Okay, you're fine in Yangzhou City."

"Sir, I want to go back to the capital."

"You don't want to go back to the capital for the time being. I'm going to send you to Xichu again, but there is still no peace there."

Genhao wanted to say something, but in front of the other side, he had no room for words. He saluted the black shadow and hid in the night.

...

Xiao Jinyan was worried about Dongfang Nuannuan, so he rushed towards Xue's house and collided with Xue Pipi who walked out of the main entrance. Xue Pipi didn't think about it and waved his hand to release the poison. Xiao Jinyan shouted continuously: "Senior, it's me!"

Xue Pipi said, "Do you still know how to come back?"

Xiao Jinyan asked, "Where are you anxious to go so late?"

Xue Pipi said with anger, "My newly acquired apprentice has been kidnapped. Whether I can regain the position of Medical Saint depends entirely on this girl. How can I not be in a hurry?"

Xiao Jinyan said in surprise, "The people from Yixiaotang really captured Nuannuan?"

Xue Pipi said with a serious face, "Not only did he capture it, he also left a letter."

“What is it written?”

"Let me take your head to Shilipo to replace people!" Xue Pipi looked at Xiao Jinyan, "Do you think you did it yourself, or should I help you?"

Xiao Jinyan hurriedly said, "I sent Miss Dongfang to Yangzhou. If something happened to her, I have a responsibility. If you don't care about her, I will not worry about it. Even if Shilipo is a sea of ​​swords and fire, I, Xiao Jinyan, would like to go with me." Seeing him alone, I asked again, "Where is Doctor Xue, why didn't I see him?"

Xue Pipi said dissatisfiedly, "He wishes that I couldn't save that girl, why would he help? Okay, don't talk too much, follow me quickly!"

Shilipo was outside Yangzhou City. The city gate was closed at this time, but it was not difficult for Xiao Jinyan and Xue Pipi. The two of them used their light skills, jumped out of the city gate, walked quickly overnight, and arrived at Shilipo.

In the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. Ten miles away from the slopes, it is deserted. When the night wind blows, the sound of leaves swaying, and there is a sound of wolf howling in the distance. Where can I see a figure?

Xiao Jinyan stood on the Shili Slope and saw that there was no Dongfang Nuannuan and Yixiaotang. He was also a little anxious and couldn't help but shout loudly, "Yuwenshuang, Xiao Jinyan's head is here. If you want it, come and get it!"

Suddenly, something moved not far away.

Xiao Jinyan looked ten feet away, a pair of lush white bones, shining with a blue light, walked towards Xiao Jinyan. In the wilderness, it was late at night again, and there was no one around. The white bones were walking upright like a living person, which looked extremely terrifying.
