As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. The murder incident in Wuchang City spread throughout the streets and alleys of the city in a short time, and then quickly spread to surrounding towns. In the evening, the city of Hanyang on the other side of the river was also boiling over this incident. All kinds of gossip and rumors are endless. The more they spread, the more interesting the stories become. Some official seizes the wife, the male protagonist is beaten to death, and the orphan girl seeks revenge ten years later...
The Chen brothers first heard the news on the streets outside, and then they came back and told everyone with excitement. After all, they didn't know it was Su Jing who did it.
Even Chang Yu really thought it was an accidental murder at first, because he didn't expect Su Jing to take action so quickly. He thought it would take three to five days, but the more he heard, the more he felt something was wrong, and he was a little stunned.
Kill people in the street!
So he ordered Wang Zhengnan to send people to investigate. After all, everything was rumored to be false.
Not long after, Fanzi from the other side came to report. Chang Yu finally heard the original story and was stunned again!
From planning to execution, everything was done single-handedly and without leakage, and even the acting was so real that people would never associate Huang Shu's death with the imperial court.
This is professionalism, worth five hundred taels of silver!
But Chang Yu was still a little worried, because the Dongchang spy who was at the scene saw Sujing jump into the catfish trap with his own eyes, but did not see her come out.
During this period of time, even on rainy days, the river swelled, and there were many rapid and undercurrents. Even Chang Yu, who was proficient in water properties, did not dare to go into the water easily, but Su Jing jumped in desperately.
Does she know how to swim?
Is the water performance better than mine?
Or should I say this little girl is crazy...
Su Jing is known as the Night Devil. He has an extreme and moody personality. He might really go crazy and commit suicide by jumping into the river in a fake show.
Chang Yu sent people to quickly find Su Jing's whereabouts. Although this little nun has an extreme personality and a bad temper, she is very easy to use and quick at work. She doesn't talk much, doesn't pay, and has little food. Where can I find someone else if she loses it? Yeah.
Where is Sujing and what is she doing?
Angry, very angry!
Being proficient in water skills, she escaped underwater for more than a hundred meters in one breath and then dived into the waterside jungle on the other side of the catfish trap. Then she found the clean clothes she had hidden in advance, changed into them, and left.
At that time, some of the people who were watching were talking a lot on the riverside, and some were spitting all kinds of things next to Huang Shu's body inside the city gate.
According to the plan, Su Jing wanted to leave directly and return to Hanyang, but he suddenly wanted to see the Yellow Crane Tower that Li Muxian talked about, so he took a boat across the water and entered the city through the security gate east of Wangjiang Gate.
That is, when the whole city was shocked by the murder of an orphan girl, Su Jing stayed out of the incident and went sightseeing.
Oh, we just swam in the water, let’s swim in the mountains.
The mountain is, Snake Mountain.
But what about Yellow Crane Tower?
I didn’t see it in the distance, so I thought it was because of the weather. I didn’t see it at the bottom of the mountain, so I thought the building was not high and was covered by trees. I didn’t see it when I climbed halfway up the mountain. Besides, it felt very desolate and plain. I felt something was wrong. I wanted to find someone. Ask, but there is no one in the barren mountains on this rainy day.
She finally climbed up the mountain, and this sight made her very angry.
Where did the Yellow Crane Tower come from?
The ruins and weeds in front of us are like taking a photo of a Chinese chat room.
Where did the Yellow Crane Tower go?
Destroyed by war again!
Why do you say again?
Well, I can only say that this building has a fateful conflict. Since it was built by Emperor Wu Sun Quan during the Three Kingdoms period, it cannot be justified if it is not damaged several times in each dynasty and every generation.
In fact, the Yellow Crane Tower was originally just a military lookout. In the Southern Dynasties, it was endowed with various legends about gods and goddesses, and it suddenly broke out of the circle. Especially in the Tang Dynasty, it was rumored to be a popular place for gods and goddesses to check in. .
It was destroyed in the late Tang Dynasty, rebuilt in the Northern Song Dynasty, destroyed in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty entity did not exist. It was rebuilt in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. It collapsed and was rebuilt during the Chenghua period. Jiajing was destroyed by fire and rebuilt in Longqing. Then in the 16th year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated and retreated to Wuchang. Zuo Liangyu killed him in the city. After a fierce battle, the Yellow Crane Tower was destroyed again.
That’s right, in the Ming Dynasty alone, it was rebuilt three times and destroyed four times! In the Qing Dynasty, it was rebuilt and repaired five or six times. The Yellow Crane Tower seen in later generations was modeled after the reconstruction during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and it was not on the original site. The original site of the Yellow Crane Tower was at the approach of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge. , the original site was given up for bridge construction.
Now there is a ruin in front of Su Jing!
This made me tired and sweaty after running around in a big circle, wondering how Su Jing in Shenxian Tower could not be angry.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, angry at Li Muxian and Chang Yu for not telling him that the building had collapsed long ago, and at the inn's clerk for not even mentioning it.
Su Jing now wanted to go back to the inn and beat up the guy, but she was worried that any traces would be exposed. After all, the city was full of storms, so it was better to be careful.
As the mountain breeze blew, she, who was much cooler, turned her head and looked to the west. It was already dusk. Although the sky was cloudy and she couldn't see the sunset by the river, she could see the river outside the city, which was also a beautiful sight.
Although I didn't see the Yellow Crane Tower, I could faintly see the Qingchuan Pavilion on Guishan Mountain across the Yangtze River. It is one of the three most famous places in Wuchang together with the Yellow Crane Tower and Guqin Terrace.
No wonder Niubi didn't come to Wuchang City and went to live in Guishan.
There is a lake outside Wusheng Gate in the north gate of Wuchang, named Sha Lake.
Thousands of soldiers and horses were stationed by the Shahu Lake, and they were composed of two groups. One was Huang Degong, and the other was Wang Tizhong. Zuo Liangyu died of illness two months ago. In order to prevent chaos in Wuchang, Chang Yu secretly ordered the two men to lead his troops to put pressure on them. They walked slowly and jitterily all the way and arrived at Shahu outside the city to set up camp half a month ago.
Wang Tizhong was okay and honest, but Huang Degong had to scold his mother at least three times a day!
He came with light equipment and insufficient supplies. It happened to be rainy and the camp was damp and leaking. The soldiers' living environment was very difficult. He could tolerate it for a day or two, but he couldn't stand it for ten days and a half. He wanted to enter the city, but the superiors strictly ordered him not to. Entering the city, soldiers and horses cannot enter the city, and he cannot enter the city.
In addition, although food and grass are supplied from the city, there is no need to worry about food and drink, but there is no wine! Normally, it would be quite easy for him to get some alcohol as a commander-in-chief, but Chang Yu has a military order that strictly prohibits drinking during wartime. Although there is no war at the moment, his mission is equivalent to wartime.
Of course, he could also drink secretly, but he didn't want to take the lead and set a bad example, because he had a good relationship with Chang Yu.
If someone exposes it, it will make Chang Yu very embarrassed and embarrassed.
So all he could do was scold.
He always scolds Po God for nothing, scolds Zuo Liangyu for not dying sooner or later, and will implicate him even if he dies, and then scolds Wang Tizhong for being silent every day, for not being able to kick a thing with three kicks, for not letting him go to the city to drink. Forget it if you dare, even if you don't dare to find a woman, you are a coward.
Later, even Chang Yu scolded him, scolding him for not knowing where he died and why he was left hanging here.
Wang Tizhong is also bitter about being scolded. Are you kidding me? I just surrendered and my foundation is not stable and I have no connections. I must be honest and have no complaints. How dare I compete with you? You can always fool me. I make a mistake, if something goes wrong and you have someone to intercede and block the attack, who do I have?
Just when Huang Degong was furious, someone finally came to have fun with him.
Tu Yuan and Ji Jike led their troops to cross the river.
Oh, come on, this makes Huang Degong extremely happy. These are old friends who fought side by side. They haven't seen each other for almost a year, but they are indescribably happy to see each other again.
Did you bring wine?
No, I dare not disobey the order, Tu Yuan shook his head.
Grass.
Where is Chang Dugong?
I don’t know, I haven’t seen you in a long time. Ji Jike shook his head
Grass.
So what are you two doing here?
I don’t know, I came here on orders. Tu Yuan and Ji Jike said in unison.
Grass!
Seeing Uncle Huang being so bored and irritable, Tu Yuan and Ji Jike thought about it and decided to have a fight with him!
Sure enough, Huang Degong immediately became interested. We must fight, but I can't fight you two. Wang Tizhong, please come over and let's join forces.
Of course it was not a fight between a few of them, but a drill by the subordinates.
The whole world knows about the bravery of Dongchang Wei, but Huang Degong is not convinced, and Wang Tizhong wants to learn from him.
As a result, the three troops finally found something to do. They held various large-scale drills and battles by the Shahu Lake almost every day, rain or shine.

Thanks to the two book friends for the tip.
