It rained all night away from the city.
In the early morning, under the blue sky and mist, both the still wet stone streets and the branches of the trees peeking out of the courtyard walls were so clean that it made people happy to see them.
It was in this fresh atmosphere that the carriage from Guangjun's envoy, which still had a slight odor, was once again called into the palace by the prefect.
The prefect of Lijun announced in front of the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty that Lijun had chosen to join the Yashui Alliance, and ordered Dou Qiushi, the prefect of the county, and Zhao Wuji, the lieutenant of the county, to reach an agreement as soon as possible on the details of the alliance such as the amount of food supply, and then concentrate on The "Annan Conference" that was still only verbal was to come up with a feasible charter.
So Zhang Ziheng, the envoy of Guangjun, was given a temporary official title in Lijun by the Grand Administrator. Regardless of whether he wanted to or not, he was left in Lijun. He was called to the county magistrate's office every day to discuss matters. I probably won’t be able to leave for a while.
That is to say, on the same day that Guangjun's envoy sent the news of Lijun's joining the Yashui Alliance in a private note to Guangjun, a private military order from Lijun's Military Affairs Office was also quickly sent to Anling through secret military channels. , a war that has lost many variables due to the transactions between Guangjun and Lijun has officially begun...
Just when there seemed to be an undercurrent surging and all the government offices were extremely busy, Luo Chuan, who seemed to have suddenly found some free time, ran to the city gate of the north gate of the city and spread a mat on the city gate that was wide enough for horse racing. , and asked the palace waiters, guards, and others to stay away, and only sat and drank with Su Yiming.
"Mr. Su, Zhang Ziheng, the envoy of Guangjun, single-handedly forced such a large Lijun to enter his Guangjun's situation. He should have made great contributions to Yunbailou, but if I don't let go anymore, What do you think about him and Yun Bailou when he goes back?" Luo Chuan raised a small glass of green plum wine, brought it to his nose and smelled it, then took a sip and put it down with a very leisurely attitude.
"The governor is not following common sense this time, so the envoy has no choice. He can only wait until you calm down and you will probably let him go. So, Zhang Ziheng and Yun Bailou, just wait," Su Yiming drank very boldly. He picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp. "I have long heard that the fruit wine in Hanzhou in Southwest China is very famous. Now this product is indeed extraordinary."
"This is a good thing from the private treasury of the prefect's palace. I brought it out specially for you to enjoy the scenery at the top of the city today. It's naturally good." Luo Chuan looked at Su Yiming and said, "Mr. Su may have guessed that I invite you to come today. What's the matter?"
Su Yiming picked up the wine pot and refilled Luo Chuan's cup first, then filled his own cup. He raised the wine cup and looked at the houses and fertile fields visible outside the city. "Looking from the city gate, thousands of miles north, the prefect Your Excellency is still worried about things in the north."
Luo Chuan nodded, "The Ya Shui Alliance seems to be asking for peace, but it is actually asking for war. Yun Bailou has been setting up in Hanzhou in the southwest for many years, and the dead Yin spirits are all over the counties, so it is not...cannot be spread." On the mountain..."
Su Yiming thought for a moment, but only shook his head and said, "The Grand Administrator was born in a prince's family and grew up in Zhongjing City. He knows little about the things on the mountain. It is normal not to know the situation. Please note that I, the leader of the human clan, accepts disciples. , whether selecting talents or imparting professions, there are questions and concerns at every level, not to mention that the sect is most concerned about the predestined method when recruiting disciples. The so-called predestined method means that there is no trace to be found. If it is said that Yun Bailou has lived for more than a hundred years , even if the Yun family of Guangjun has been keeping an eye on a certain sect for decades or even hundreds of years, it is possible that he may have planted a secret or two. If he is only over thirty years old now... he is almost useless. possible."
Luo Chuan thought for a while and said, "I heard from Shadow. Yin Ling, this intelligence and assassin organization that has spread all over the world for no reason, was founded by Yun Bailou from scratch. It has penetrated deeply into all the princes and spread widely. , all of which are unbelievable. I have read all the information about the Yin spirits in ANBU, and I only vaguely know that they don’t like to get straight, but prefer to find the right answer. What they think and think cannot be solved by ordinary people. , it’s because I’m about to fight him on the mountain that I’m a little worried.”
When Su Yiming saw what Luo Chuan said, he naturally did not dare to be arrogant anymore, "Yiming knows that there is a hidden vein and four major sects in our southwest Hanzhou. The origin of that hidden vein is mysterious and its trace is difficult to predict. I have only heard it from my master. I don’t know much about it, but I am familiar with the four major sects. Among them, Cangyan Sword Sect is known as the first sect in Southwest Hanzhou and is located in Li County. The other three sects are Jinjian Sect in Guang County. , Xiaoyao Valley in Anyang County, and..." He looked at Luochuan and said, "Among the three cities in the southern part of Hanoi County, Sucheng Tingfeng Pavilion is probably already part of the disputed land...!"
"Xiaoyao Valley, Tingfeng Pavilion?!" Luo Chuan searched the memories in his mind and found that he had heard of the Golden Sword Sect, but had never heard of Xiaoyao Valley and Tingfeng Pavilion, "Are these two sects hidden from the world? "
Su Yiming shook his head, "Compared to Cangyan Sword Sect and Jinjian Sect, Xiaoyao Valley and Tingfeng Pavilion are not well-known in the secular world, because these two sects are all about being pure and pure in order to consolidate their realm, and there are few contaminations. Although there are fireworks in the world of mortals, they are all quite famous among the sects on the mountain, especially Tingfeng Pavilion." He drank the wine in the glass and then filled it up, then bowed to Luochuan and drank by himself, "If To say that Yun Bailou has some agenda in planning the 'Annan Conference' this time, it must be one of these two sects."
Luo Chuan frowned slightly, "Mr. Su, what do you mean, that the Golden Sword Sect is to Guangjun just like the Cangyan Sword Sect is to Lijun, with a deep and unshakable friendship?"
Su Yiming smiled and said, "Why do you think, Lord Taishou, that the friendship between Cangyan Sword Sect and Li County is so deep and unshakable?"
Luochuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Su Yiming drank another drink, and there was no trace of drunkenness on his face. He was obviously a frequent drinker. He was very different from Luo Chuan who got drunk after just one drink. "In my opinion, the Golden Sword Sect is as good as Guangzhou. County, the relationship is much deeper, because..." He looked at Luochuan and said word by word, "It is said that Yun Bailou's mother... came from the Golden Sword Sect. !!”
Luo Chuan glared, and then seemed to take it for granted, "It turns out there is... such a relationship..."
"Well," Su Yiming looked to the north, "Yiming also heard this from hearsay, but I heard it a few times and it was generally the same. If I just say that Yun Bailou's mother was really an ill-fated woman, she was also amazingly talented and beautiful. When I was on the mountain, I fell in love with a worldly young man. Later, he suffered from a strange disease and died at a young age. At that time, he was also a topic of conversation among the sects on the mountain after dinner. "
Luochuan suddenly remembered the two people he met for the first time by the Luoshui River. Wasn't it a fate? After a moment of silence, he actually felt that Yun Bailou, whom he regarded as his greatest enemy, had a somewhat sympathetic affinity...
"Master Taishou."
Su Yiming's voice woke Luo Chuan out of his thoughts. When he looked towards Su Yiming, he saw that the latter had already stood up with a wine glass in both hands. He also raised his glass and stood up, " Mr. Su, is this...?"
Su Yiming smiled calmly, "Since Yiming is a guest from Lijun, he should share the worries of the prefect. Now that the prefect is worried about things on the mountain, Yiming will go to Tingfeng Pavilion and Xiaoyao Valley for the prefect. If I am dismissed, it would be best if I could be impressed by the benevolence and righteousness of the Grand Administrator, but even if I can't, I can at least gain some impression on me from Li County before the 'Annan Conference'."
Hearing this, Luo Chuan raised his wine glass and said with emotion, "Luo Chuan can get help from Mr. Luo Chuan...it is truly a blessing in his life!"
Su Yiming laughed and drank all the wine in the glass, saluted Luochuan, took two steps and jumped directly from the city gate tower!
Luo Chuan walked to the city wall in a few steps, only to find that the old servant Jin Ye who was always with Su Yiming had already driven a carriage and was waiting outside the city!
Su Yiming glided onto the carriage like a big bird and stood still. He looked back and cupped his hands, "Before the conference, I will return once I sing!"
Luo Chuan also put down his wine glass and raised his hand towards the carriage that was gradually going away, "Sir, here you go... have a safe journey...!"
The wind and dust are billowing, and the crowds are like rivers.
Su Yiming smiled casually, turned around and put his hands behind his back.
Go away.
