Crown Sword

Taiyuan 20 years (395), the end of the year.

In the east of Yecheng City, there is a house with three entrances and three exits. It is only guarded by a few old servants on weekdays, and it is deserted and deserted.

As for the owner of the house, there are different opinions. Some say that it is a courtyard left by a wealthy businessman from the north and the south. The house is kept in a charming outer room, which is so low-key because it is shameful; it is also said that it belonged to a certain general in the former Yan Kingdom. The mansion was sealed up because of the strong Qin and Yan Yan. Although the Murong family has returned to the country, many nobles died in it before, and the ghosts linger on, and no one dares to live in it.

In the middle of the night, a watchman passed by and was singing "Be careful of the fire and candle". Suddenly, I heard my stomach growl twice, and then I felt a pain in my lower abdomen, and I hurriedly looked for the toilet with my pants up.It was so easy to find a remote corner to solve it on the spot, and when I turned around and picked it up, I was almost scared out of my mind——

The house, which was still pitch-black just now, was turned on in the blink of an eye.

The master is back?

If you don't enter the door during the day, why come at night?Did he really hide Miao Niangzi, or did Ye Lai save the soulless people?

Hearing Xisu's footsteps, Dageng's boy couldn't hold back his curiosity, and followed to the side door.Seeing that the door was ajar and parted a finger-width apart, he hastily rushed up to it, vowing in his heart that he would only take a look at it and close it as soon as he saw it.He immediately grabbed the door and poked his head in. When he didn't pay attention, the clapper on the watch fell out.

The yard was quiet, the beater held his breath, jumped into the meadow to search, and was about to grab his belongings when he stepped on it with one foot.He didn't see the person clearly, and he didn't know how the opponent made a move. Before he died, he only vaguely remembered the red plums everywhere.

The side door was locked with a "crash", and a slender shadow, holding plum blossoms, walked slowly under the eaves with fluttering bells.

Dozens of lamps were lit in the room, and it was cooler than cloudy.A young man wearing a fur beard knelt down in front of the table, put the ground Duheng, Anxi and Ganan incense powder into the incense seal with a fragrant spoon, and pressed it gently, then took off the mold, and condensed a flower Ling Han Ao Mei.

At this time, the wooden door was pulled open, and the flower holder stood under the eaves bell, glanced at it quietly, and said in a strange tone: "I didn't expect Mrs. Duan to have such a sense of elegance. In the next journey, everything you see is everything." It's clothes and animal skins, and I thought that everyone in Yan Kingdom loves nothing but hair and blood."

"I can't talk about elegance. I'm paying respects to the Buddha. The only trick you Han people can do is to burn incense." Duan Zan carefully put the incense into a copper furnace and lit it, and calmly returned his soft nails in Chinese, " This is for you."

In terms of tongue and tongue, no one pleases well, the two of them are considered even, as if they have changed their faces, they treat each other amicably.

The flower bearer sat down on the brocade mat, and passed the winter plums in his hand: "I came to visit, and I didn't prepare a generous gift in a hurry. I love planting flowers later, so I picked the best ones this winter."

"Your Excellency is good at planting flowers, but you're even better at killing people, right?" Duan Zan wiped off the blood stains on the petals, and with a wave of his hand, the flower branch landed in the celadon vase next to the bookshelf without missing a single petal.At this point, displeasure welled up in his eyes, and every movement, even every piece of skin, was written high and high, "Isn't your people going in and out of Julu frequently recently, is it too rampant?"

The flower-bearer cupped his hands, and said in a dark voice: "Am I crazy? I just retaliated against him in his own way. If it wasn't for my people watching, I'm afraid your Duan Zan's boy class has already entered Jin Dynasty. The border of the country is over! You have thought about going to Kuizhou from Jiangling, you are crazy, and you are a vegetarian when you are Shi Ang?"

"Oh, here comes Xingshi's questioning." Duan Zan narrowed his eyes with a smile, "It's mine to enter your territory, isn't it?"

The flower holder asked, "Who are you going to kill?"

"Ram month."

"Why did you kill him? Why, did you offend him?" The flower bearer smiled disdainfully. With Gongyangyue's reputation, he really couldn't think of any enmity between Duan Zan and him.

Duan Zan said in a deep voice, "What if I say it's related to 'Kaiyang'?"

Hearing that he mentioned "Kaiyang", the flower bearer fell silent, tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about it in his heart, and then threw a private seal to him: "If so, we must not let it go easily. If a person is really In the south, I will look for opportunities to help you, as for the others, I advise you not to meddle indiscriminately."

It was his words that Duan Zan was waiting for, and immediately handed over his token, pushed it over, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Then it will be a labor of love. Now it is also a grasshopper on a boat, with you and me sitting in the north and south, it must be It's within reach."

"Don't be too happy too early. Besides Yan and Jin, there are three kingdoms of Qin, Dai, and Liang. I'm afraid you can't stretch your hand that long." The importance of "Kaiyang Jilue" can only be suppressed for the time being, but the anger in the mouth is not small.

Duan Zan laughed loudly: "Do you know how I contacted you?"

As he spoke, he reached out to the wall to take down a sharp arrow, twisted the arrow tail, and took out the stuffed letter paper.The flower bearer snatched it up, his eyes gradually turned from doubt to panic, and he hurriedly asked, "No wonder... where did this thing come from?"

There is no beginning or end in that sentence, but it is a code word for contact, including the location and method.

"The arrow was shot right in front of my house. Someone checked it out. It was an archer from the country. At first, when my cronies came to tell the time, I didn't pay attention to it. When I found out that the code words left above were used by the alliance back then, I came a little bit later." I tried it for fun, but I didn’t expect you to come to the appointment. I think you should know more about who shot the arrow.”

The flower bearer pondered for a moment, clapped his hands and said, "It's him, he's still alive!"

"It seems that my guess is right," Duan Zan muttered, with a huge joy in his face and heart, he was looking for this person, if he really got a response, it would be half the success, he hurriedly followed up to confirm, " The person you are talking about is the leader of the alliance, Jiang Munu?"

"That's right," said the flower bearer, "back then, my father contacted him through a one-way route, relying on a Han man surnamed Ding who came from Jin Dynasty. From what you said, it is consistent. My father passed away many years ago, and this line is no longer available. Not activated, so when you wrote, I didn't make any guesses at all."

Duan Zan hurriedly asked: "Are you sure?"

Seeing that he didn't believe him, the flower bearer couldn't help sneering: "Master Duan, don't you know that Jiang Munu has always contacted others, and few people can contact him?" Not only the tone is bad, but also the expression, it seems to say: What are you pretending to be? Innocence, there were also people from the Yan Kingdom who joined the alliance to block 'Kaiyang' together, and your father might be there, don't act, the acting is too clumsy.

Knowing that he lost his composure, Duan Zan couldn't help laughing: "You've said it's a one-way line, you have to confirm it again and again. After all, this is a big matter, so no one is allowed to cheat? Don't blame me for being suspicious. As you and me, we are the ones around you. People also need to check regularly." Then, he took some winter tea and brewed it himself as an apology, and said, "If it's true, it's great news, don't forget, when the 'Kaiyang' was in full swing, isn't it all Planted in the hands of the 'Pojun' he founded?"

"That's true..." The flower holder took the tea bowl and looked down at the tea.

Duan Zan grew up in the north, and he is from Xianbei. Compared with Jiang Zuo, drinking tea for entertainment is a world of difference. The tea soup is so clumsy, but people are willing to hold it, especially when they enter the door. This is very useful for the flower holder.So, without changing his expression, after drinking the winter tea in one gulp, he continued with a smirk: "Brother Duan Xian is serious. My father mentioned that Jiang Munu is a man who understands people's hearts and is extremely charming. He is raised like you and me." A dead man needs to use some brains, but for him, poison, intimidation, and conspiracy methods are not used. All those who follow him are as if possessed by a demon. There are spies and disciples all over the world, and now the Dongwu Lord in Nayuntai, who is known as a thousand disciples, is not even half as good as him."

It's not that Duan Zan has never seen a person who is pleasing to the eye. He is flattering and sweet-mouthed, but he doesn't make everyone love him. Hearing the bragging of the person in front of him, he has the intention to ask for advice from the bottom of his heart: "This man who controls people The way, the knowledge is indeed great."

The flower bearer glanced at him, and said again: "Some people say that Jiang Munu was born to please people, and some people said that he learned it the day after tomorrow. I don't know if it's true or not, but there is a saying that he was able to achieve such achievements in the first place because he inherited The so-called "Computer's Infinite Strategies" Shi Zhao Da enforced the secret score and troops left by Zhang Bin. Later...it seemed that a major event happened, and the "Pojun" collapsed. know about it."

At midnight, after finishing speaking, he stood up and cupped his hands, saying goodbye to Duan Zan: "If it's really him who makes the connection, I will help with all my strength. But," he paused, then smiled, "You don't want one business to do two business. "

Duan Zan's heart skipped a beat, but his face didn't change, he just replied politely: "Naturally."

"I was wrong, burning incense is actually not suitable for you, come again next time, change it to a lighter one, this smell is too nasty." The flower bearer swept his feet and turned out of the outer wall.

Duan Zan pretended to send it to the courtyard, and after he walked away, he still shouted: "Then I will dare to ask for some more flowers."

After a while, he suppressed his smile, went back to the room and sat down, smashed the incense burner to pieces with his hand.The servant in the ear room heard the noise, fell to the ground in front of the door, and consciously walked in on his knees to clean, but he didn't want to but made Duan Zan even more upset, and immediately smashed the incense pestle and the incense spoon mold together.

The boy didn't dare to hide, seeing that his head was about to bleed, at this moment, he grabbed his face with one hand and cut off everything.

He was a young man of no more than twelve or thirteen years old, with pale complexion and hollow eyes, like a corpse raised from a tomb, or like a piece of wood without emotion. Among the boys' doors, if Duan Zan is the master of the dark place, he is the door of the light place. host.

"Walk."

Feeling relieved, the boy hurriedly hugged the debris and staggered away.

"Ah Lu is your real brother? It's a pity that he couldn't get the body back." Duan Zan raised his eyes to see him, invited him to sit down, furious, and punched the table.Murong Lin hurt people one thousand and self-inflicted eight hundred. He participated in the performance as if desperately, but this time the Duan family suffered a big fall.

Yinghuai just nodded, there was no slightest wave in her swollen eyes: "Oh, just die."

"You!" Duan Zan was so choked that he couldn't speak, if it weren't for the difficulty of cultivating an excellent confidant, he really wanted to slap the table case and the cabinet on his face.

Yinghuai's kung fu technique focuses on Qi training, he doesn't detect emotions, but can judge the unnaturalness and strangeness of the person in front of him through the movement of breath in the meridians.His liver was so angry that he vaguely remembered it was called anger, so he said, "Is it because of planting flowers and incense, or because that person just found out that the Lord revealed the news about Gu Zai to people in Qin?"

Duan Zan opened his mouth, thinking that even if he cursed, the person in front of him would not respond, so he gave up trying to make fun of himself, and just snorted coldly: "He probably didn't know, or he would have done it long ago. I didn't expect that he would We can still get on line with Qin Guo, but unfortunately, I heard that we had a falling out five years ago, probably due to uneven distribution of spoils. This time, Mr. Jiang personally set up the line, so he must be more optimistic about us." He said a little dry-mouthed , he hurriedly picked up the teapot and poured down the cold tea to put out the fire.

After taking two sips, he spit it out: "He drank it all, if I knew it earlier, I would cook him a bowl of shit."

"Cow poop or horse poop? How much do you need?" Yinghuai followed blankly.

"Get lost!" Duan Zan slapped the table.

The latter stomped on his shoes, walked out, and walked to the door. The moonlight was shining on the plum branches in the green vase, and the flowers were just in bloom. He walked over and took the vase away.

"Hey, come back!" Duan Zan called out.

Yinghuai looked innocent.

Duan Zan waved his hand: "Get out, get out."

Yinghuai walked to the wall of the backyard, stood silently for a long time, moved the gravel around, built a stone tower, and folded his hands together.Then I wiped the flower branches, and the plum blossoms rustled down, leaving only desolation everywhere.
