Chapter 26 Section 1: The Boy in Clothed Clothes at the Mysterious Inn

When leaving South Korea, Xuan Qi released a carrier pigeon in the valley of Mount Taishi on the bank of Weishui River.The black pigeon blew a long cry, fluttered its wings and flew swiftly, rushing up into the blue sky like an arrow, and flew south. The old man Baili asked with a smile: "Your general hospital is eyeing Shen Buhai again, isn't it?" Xuan Qi solemnly said: "Anyone who takes killing as his policy, the disciples abroad must immediately report it so that they can be checked and curbed." "Old man, go there if you have something to do, and you are too lenient." Baili old man sighed.

"Father, you found a good teacher for your grandson, why don't you agree with the teacher's belief?" The old man Baili said leisurely: "Your teacher is very righteous, but using violence for violence is not a good strategy." "To deal with tyranny, besides punishing him, does Elder Father have a better way?" Xuan Qi asked earnestly. The old man shook his head: "No. Things in the world are difficult in the first place." Xuan Qi smiled and said, "Then don't think about it. Father, it's time for us to part ways." The old man Baili suddenly smiled and said: "Oh, we have reached the crossroads. Okay, grandson is going to Wei State, and grandpa is going to Qi State."

Xuan Qi raised his horsewhip and said with a smile: "After finishing the work, I will come to find my eldest father, and also meet that Sun Bin." "Okay, grandpa is waiting for you in Linzi." After speaking, he whipped his horse and rode away. Xuan Qi watched his grandfather disappear before he whipped his horse and headed towards Maojindu in the northeast.After crossing the river in a hurry, the flying horse went straight to Anyi.The purpose of her visit to Anyi City is to secretly find out whether Wei State has any plans to invade other countries in the near future, and then report to the General Court as soon as possible, so as to help the weak country formulate a thorough defense strategy.This is her business.There is also a private matter, which is that the elder father entrusted her to secretly understand whether Wei Yang has any difficulties and obstacles in entering the Qin Dynasty. If necessary, she should secretly help with all her strength.These two things are very important to Xuan Qi.The first one is their collective belief, and they are duty-bound.The latter one is tied to her affection as a descendant of the Qin people.What's more, when she thought of being able to do her part secretly for "him" Zhao Xian, a warm current surged in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel hot on her face.For the convenience of movement, she still wore the usual attire for traveling abroad, a natural-colored cloth robe, a six-inch bamboo crown, and a fast horse dagger, simple and neat.Such a gentleman dressed as a man, on the contrary, makes her look more handsome and heroic, and attracts the girls on the side of the road to stop and stare.

On a small street close to the city wall inside the south gate of Anyi City, there is a simple inn. On the forehead of the gate is a rectangular bluestone engraved with two large characters - Mo Gu.In normal times, this inn neither picks out lanterns nor opens the store door, nor is it as particular as most inns in Anyi City. There are always one or two servants standing solemnly at the door, as if they are indifferent to whether there are guests coming or not. Don't care at all.Coupled with the remote location, it is difficult for business and tourists to find it, and the gate is unusually deserted.If such an inn is in another country, it may make people feel weird but attract attention.However, in Anyi City, where people's desires are mixed with fish and dragons, people pay attention to the royal family, nobles, celebrities, and great merchants. Any weirdness and mystery at the bottom of the market will become mediocre, and no one wants to look at you more Two eyes.For example, no one can find out about this Mogu Inn, and no one even knows when it opened here.

In the evening, Xuan Qi entered the city, came to the entrance of this clean inn, and slapped three palms on the thick wooden door. The wooden door opened silently.An old voice came from the dark hall: "Be generous and selfless." "Giving generously is not virtuous." Xuan Qi clapped his hands and replied solemnly. "Want to live, want to be rich, want to govern?" "Want to rule." The old voice disappeared.A boy in black came out from the hall, took the reins from Xuan Qi's hand, and pulled the horse into the side courtyard through the side door.Xuan Qi walked into the courtyard calmly, and lighted a bamboo board engraved with the word "Zi" in his hand, and a white-haired old man in front of the screen wall led her to the three main rooms in the north.In an instant, a child lit a candle and brought hot water.The furnishings in the room are extremely simple, with square bricks on the floor, and one bed and one bed.The old man cupped his hands and said: "Brother Zimen, please wash your face and wash your feet, and eat in a moment." After speaking, he closed the door and retreated.Xuan Qi wiped her face, then untied a small leather bag from her wide cowhide belt, which was full of necessities for her daughter's house, she took out a small wooden comb, let go of her long hair and combed it carefully.Then I poured the hot water from washing my face into another tub, and soaked my tired feet for a while.At this time, the boy brought in the rice on a wooden plate, a clay pot of stewed beef with turnips, two black flour pancakes, and half a cup of salt water.Their collective simplicity and hard work are famous all over the world. Even high-ranking students like her can only eat enough when they go out on business, and they are never allowed to have the slightest extravagance.Xuan Qi had just finished eating, he rinsed his mouth with half a glass of salt water, and the little boy came in to clean up, almost as if he had pinched the moment.

A middle-aged man in common clothes walked in, "Report to Senior Brother Zimen, we have found out that Wei State will have a big war to destroy the country, but we don't know where to enter the army? Please report to the General Academy, Senior Brother to decide." Xuan Qi pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Understood. Allow me to weigh it before making a decision." After the middle-aged man withdrew, Xuan Qi thought about it, and decided to go to Dongxiangchun first to see what happened in Anyi. Dong Xiangchun was still bustling and extravagant, talking everywhere.Xuan Qi lingered for a while in each of the main halls, but he didn't find the concubine Wei Yang.But in this sea of ​​rumors, she heard an unexpected comment: the concubine Wei Yang actually became the general manager of a big business, he was ungrateful, deceitful, and a complete villain!Xuan Qi was surprised and angry at the same time.Dong Xiangchun's remarks are not groundless, if it is true, the father has misjudged the person?Wouldn't recommending talents to "him" also become aimless?If Wei Yang is really a pseudonymous person who forgets righteousness for profit, he must be a treacherous and evil person.Their group has two creeds of "must kill": tyranny must kill, evil must kill.Wei Yang, who has been recognized as a talented celebrity by various circles, but also proved to be a villain by his own actions, is called a deceitful person. If he is allowed to let himself go, he will become a treacherous person wearing the cloak of a celebrity.Their group treats this kind of person the same as they treat tyrants and cruel officials, knowing that they will kill them.

Xuan Qi drank alone in the teahouse, pondered silently, and decided to do another important matter first tonight, leaving the matter of Wei Yang to be verified tomorrow.Thinking of this, she threw down a golden cake, left Dongxiangchun and came to Tianjie. Recently, the front of the General's Mansion has been heavily guarded, and ordinary officials are not allowed to enter except for the lieutenant generals who hold arrows.When Xuan Qi walked to the mansion gate carriage and racecourse, the leader of the army guard with the sword shouted loudly from afar: "Don't come near! Leave quickly!" Xuan Qi didn't stop, walked up to the leader and cupped his hands, "I am Junior Brother General, I have traveled thousands of miles to find him, and I am bothered to inform you." The leader asked doubtfully, "Junior Brother General? What proof do you use to report?" Xuan Qi took out something from his belt around his waist and handed it over, "Please report to General and he will know naturally. The leader took it, but it turned out to be a smooth and shiny white bone with several small holes carved in the middle. He was surprised and said: "How can I understand such a weird thing? Here you go, leave quickly!" "

Xuan Qi took the bone and said with a sneer, "You don't regret it." Then he lifted the bone to his mouth and blew it, suddenly a clear and exciting music burst out of the sky, it went straight to the sky, it was like a soldier in the army The horn has the charm of suppressing the clouds, and turns into a low and gentle whimper, which makes people suddenly feel sad.The guards at the gate of the mansion were stunned for a while, but they didn't know what to do.At this time, there was a rush of footsteps in the gate, and the chief steward of the general's mansion, Lao Yao, clapped his hands and said loudly: "The general invites the distinguished guests to enter the mansion to meet—!"

Xuan Qi left the leader who was stunned and inexplicable, and calmly entered the General's Mansion. Pang Juan had just finished discussing important matters with his trusted generals in the Military Affairs Office when he heard the peculiar sound of the bone flute at the gate of the mansion.He has listened to this kind of music in the mountains for twenty years, and he is very familiar with it. Even in the army of thousands of horses, he can still capture the sound of piercing the sky that only the bone flute can have.The teacher sent someone to look for him, who is it?Why are you looking for him?While he was in deep thought, a boy in common clothes cupped his hands and smiled at the bottom of the steps, "Senior Brother Pang, are you here all right?"

Pang Juan said indifferently: "You play the bone flute very well. I've never seen you before, so why not be safe?" The commoner boy smiled and said: "Brother, when I was studying, I was still a child and served in the teacher's cave. Naturally, my brother didn't know me. But I do know my brother." Suddenly, Pang Juan clasped his hands and said with a smile: "Please take a seat. Our sect has rules, and the same sect does not communicate with each other. Do you know that?" The commoner boy nodded, "That's the rule for you big disciples who are studying university knowledge. I'm waiting for chores, and I can also learn some skills. I can make an exception. I have turned eighteen and have done chores in the mountains for thirteen years. Teacher I was allowed to study a little military science, but I didn't have the time to give advice, so I was ordered to ask the senior brother for advice. Please the senior brother will teach me on behalf of the teacher."

Pang Juan felt very relieved.Teaching on behalf of a teacher is an extremely rare honor. The teacher entrusts him with great trust and respect for him, and naturally also includes great hopes for him.He immediately ordered his servants to serve tea for the junior brother, and said with a warm smile: "Young brother must also study military science, so it's enough to master actual combat military affairs. The book of military strategy and the method of battle formation should be studied calmly in the future. It just so happens that I will fight once in this year. After a great battle, you will naturally gain a lot of knowledge by following in the army." "Big battle? But I don't know which country the senior is attacking? Chu country? Qi country?" The boy in civilian clothes looked puzzled and childish. Pang Juan laughed and shook his head and said, "I want to fight against South Korea. Do you know? In South Korea, Shen Buhui has recently reformed and strengthened the army. In a few years, South Korea will become stronger. It is the best time to fight against South Korea." opportunity." "Where? How do I get familiar with military affairs? Follow the general?" Pang Juan shook his head and smiled, "No. Before and during the war, I didn't have time to give you advice. I'll appoint a capable military commander for you, and you will be his subordinate. First go through the military affairs. I'll explain it to you after the battle. Advice, how?" "Okay." The young man said: "If this is the case, the senior brother will not be missed. I can come to see the teacher tomorrow." Pang Juan waved his hand and said, "Wait a few days. This military commander is a talented man. He was a concubine in the uncle's prime minister's mansion. He has agreed to be my military commander. I will escort him to work tomorrow. Wait for him If you are content with your duties, it will not be too late for you to follow him to practice." The commoner boy smiled and said, "Isn't it strange that an official should be escorted here?" Pang Juan sneered coldly: "You have been in the mountains for a long time, how could you know the complexity of the world? This person pretended to be employed by a big business, intending to escape my grasp. How could I be deceived by such small tricks?" "Senior brother has insight into the world, and junior brother has gained insight." "It's great that you have this insight. Come here today, come back in three days." Pang Juan said in a teacher's tone. The commoner boy said goodbye with his hands together, and drifted away. Xuan Qi arrived at the main street, he was very happy in his heart.Using the bone flute given to her grandfather by Master Guiguzi and her understanding of the rules of the ghost gate, she quickly figured out two doubts from Pang Juan's mouth.According to the rules, Pang Juan would not ask her name and address, because no one could forge the bone flute and the sound of the bone flute.Xuan Qi did not apologize for Pang Juan's deception.Since Pang Juan became the General of the Wei State, he has been killing everywhere, and has long been listed as a must-kill target for their group, but because he is heavily guarded and often in the army, he cannot be caught for a while.Half of the reason they set up Mogu Inn in Anyi City was to target Pang Juan.The current confusion is that there are already signs of tyranny in South Korea, and Wei Guo is about to launch an unjust war against South Korea. Is it two evils fighting each other?Or help South Korea withstand disaster?Xuan Qi couldn't figure it out all of a sudden. Back at Mogu Inn, Xuan Qi decided to send the alarm back to the main hospital first, and let the teacher and the chief of the main hospital decide how to deal with it.She wrote the secret letter, tied it up, put it in a copper tube and sealed it with a wax seal, called Wei Zi, who was in charge of the inn, and told him to send it straight to Shennong Dashan General Hospital.This "miniature" is the title of the leader at the bottom of the group. Compared with the "giant" at the top of the group, there are several layers of "big son", "neutron" and "molecule".No matter how high the status of the outsiders is, as long as they live in the stronghold set up by the group, they must pass the news upward and take action on the spot through the "zi" in charge of each level.And these "children" and their students and disciples are absolutely not allowed to interfere with the delivery content and action goals, and are only allowed to faithfully and quickly deliver and achieve the action goals. Mogu Weizi took Xuan Qi's secret copper pipe and acted immediately.At this time, it was already three o'clock, and ordinary people naturally couldn't get out of this tall castle.But their "inn" has been secretly operating for many years on the small street at the root of the city wall, and they are already ready to leave the city under any circumstances.The door of the inn slid open silently, and three men in black stood in the foyer, shooting a series of short arrows with a powerful crossbow in the darkness, and the wind lamp on the city wall was immediately extinguished.A man in black quickly rushed across the small street in front of the gate to the city wall, and quickly climbed up to the top of the city with a special hand chisel and foot spikes.In an instant, an owl hooted from the top of the city, and the door of Mogu Inn was silently closed.This shows that the messenger has already escaped from the city, and rode away on the fast horse outside the city. Xuan Qi naturally knew that there would be no obstacles in all of this.Now she is thinking about another thing, what is the truth about Wei Yang?Without finding out the truth, it is impossible to decide whether to help secretly or to punish.There must be a reason for Dong Xiangchun's rumors, but why is Pang Juan so determined not to believe it?Tomorrow Wei Yang will be detained by force, if Wei Yang is caught and taken to the General's Mansion, what will happen?Looking at Pang Juan's cold smile, I understand that if Wei Yang doesn't give in, it must be a disaster.If Wei Yang is really a villain who sees profit and forgets righteousness, why does he refuse to be the military commander?For a commoner, the official position equivalent to a Chinese doctor is not as good as the general manager of a business?Besides, this is Wei State's military affairs chief, whose official salary is several times higher than that of other countries, and besides, he still has the opportunity to make contributions and stretch his ambitions.That being the case, why did he escape from office and go to business?what!That's right... Xuan Qi suddenly had a flash in his heart, turned over and sat up, and decided to leave the city immediately. Xuan Qi summoned Mo Gu Weizi, briefly explained to him the reason for acting alone, agreed on the method of meeting tomorrow, and led the horse out of the inn towards the city gate.She had the token given by Pang Juan to enter and exit the General's Mansion, and she made the best use of it at this time.The ignorant gatekeeper sergeant saw the token of the General's Mansion, and hastily opened the gate of the small city to let her out.Coming out of the city, he whipped his horse and galloped towards the cemetery of Uncle Cuo on the Ten Witch Peaks of Lingshan Mountain.
