Unofficial History of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty

Jiang Bin and Wu Jie were both taken aback when they heard this.Didn't Jiang Ziqing erase the memories of those who knew him before?Why does this veteran still remember?

"Old man, when did you meet him? But you made a mistake?"

The old soldier took the kerosene lamp, looked closely at it, frowned and said, "It doesn't look like it...I can't remember...I was planting calamus at the time of the Dragon Boat Festival! Just see him." Standing at the edge of the field with a basket of zongzi in a daze, I asked him what he was looking at. He said that his nephew, who was dependent on him, was in the Datong Army. Back then, it was inconvenient to see each other because of some gaps. In previous years, he would make these zongzi for him. He ate." The veteran shook his head and put down the lamp, "I said, since I miss him, why hold my breath? On the day of exorcising evil spirits, it is best to have Mulan soup and drink realgar with my family. I am a loner. No such blessing! Hearing what I said, he asked a few words. I happen to have an old man who works in Tianchengwei who wants to visit. I was startled when I mentioned that person's name. But since I agreed, I couldn't return him at this time, so I just gave the zongzi to the boy in the teahouse near Tianchengwei and asked him to forward it."

Jiang Bin fell silent after hearing this.A gap, more than a gap?His sentimental appearance, could it be that he made calculations and knew his way today, so he purposely made it for this veteran so that he could teach him to tell himself?Now what to believe and what not to believe, I am already confused, and I don't know what this immortal with all-powerful abilities wants to ask for from a mortal like him.

Seeing that Jiang Bin was frowning, Wu Jie knew that he was depressed, so he sat for a while, and seeing that the rain had subsided, he said, "Thank you, Uncle, for allowing me to bother you. The rain is subsiding now, and I'm still busy on my way. Let's pass now." , it just so happens that the gate of the city is already open, so I can catch some hot food.”

The veteran was relieved by Lu Qing's foot massage. Hearing this, he hurriedly got up and took two sets of bamboo hats and coir raincoats and handed them over: "I made it up myself. I wanted to send it to Cheng Wei's brother that day, but I was worried that my legs and feet would not work." What! If you pass by, give it to him for me!"

Wu Jie agreed, and handed one set to Jiang Bin and the other to Lu Qing.Lu Qing didn't appreciate it, turned his head and refused to accept it, Jiang Bin sighed, dressed him up himself, put on a coir raincoat, and handed the bamboo hat to Wu Jie, Wu Jie shook his head and said, "I don't suffer from these diseases. ", Jiang Bin put it on himself.

The three of them bid farewell to the veteran, and when picking up the horse, Jiang Bin lowered his voice and asked Lu Qing, "You only cared about my business before, how is Tang He doing now?"

Hearing Tang He's name, Lu Qing's expression suddenly changed, his eyes were full of resentment, and then there was a sense of grievance: "That's it..."

How could his unconcealed thoughts escape Jiang Bin's eyes, he grabbed his shoulder and asked him: "But someone threatened you with his life to come to me?"

Lu Qing lowered his eyes and said: "It's not a threat. I was afraid that you would come to find you in case you found out later, but they said they couldn't trust me, so they held my senior brother from seeing you, saying they wanted to see it with their own eyes. You can let people go."

I knew from the meaning of Lu Qing's words before that he followed Wang Xun and Qiao Yu, and did not go to Beijing. Qiao Yu would definitely not do such a thing that was threatened by that person. Most likely, Wang Xun did not trust Lu Qing, so he acted like this .

"He is also impatient. He has a good heart and doesn't really want to embarrass you."

Lu Qing didn't answer, just untied Jiang Bin's horse and led him to him.Jiang Bin also knew that it was useless to talk too much at this time, so he got on the horse, and Lu Qing handed over the fire notes he had blown.

Just like this, I was driving in the mud, speechless for a while, but fortunately, the rain stopped after a while.When the three of them arrived, the gate of Datong City had already been opened, and they entered the city through the disguised tricks before. They asked someone to bring the bamboo hat and coir raincoat to the old friend of the old soldier.

Now Xiao Ju, who was transferred from Liaodong to Datong as the commander of the capital, is discussing with the commander of the capital. He also heard the news of the palace change, and was worried about the safety of Jiang Bin, Wang Xun and others, so he heard a report that there was His cousin begged to see him, and presented the nine-section whip, and said calmly that he would meet his cousin when he went out, so he took two entourages out.

When Jiang Bin saw Xiao Fu coming out, he exchanged glances, and was invited into a carriage with Lu Qing and Wu Jie, whose faces were half covered.Xiao Fu rode his horse and took his entourage to another direction.

The carriage went around for a while, and finally stopped in front of a secluded courtyard in the west of the city. There were many chrysanthemums planted beside the Yimen Gate, elegant and dignified, just like the owner of the courtyard.

Ma Zao was led back by his attendants, so as not to let others know, but Xiao Fu stood at Yimen, waiting for the three of them to come.

As soon as Jiang Bin got out of the car, Xiao Fu went up to greet him and cupped his hands in salute: "Master Jiang, why are you here? I also thought you had returned to Beijing! Now that the city is full of trouble, I don't know what to do!"

Jiang Bin sighed, "It's a long story, but is this where my sister-in-law lives?"

"Exactly, sister-in-law is already asleep at this time, I ordered someone to call the second and third younger brothers, and they will be here later!"

Jiang Bin nodded, then looked back at Lu Qing and Wu Jie and said, "They are all relatives."

Xiao Fu nodded slightly, and invited the three of them into the ear room to talk.After drinking half a cup of tea, Zhang Min and Sun Zhen arrived together.

Jiang Bin met with the two of them, and when Lu Qing and Wu Jie avoided them, he explained the whole story, and then cut straight to the point: "Life and death are unpredictable, and this is also a matter of life and death. If you have any scruples, let me say it here. No blame!"

"Master Jiang and Brother Wang have been sworn brothers, and now the elder brother is gone, and the second brother can't get away, so I listen to Master Jiang!" Wouldn't it be embarrassing for Zi and Zhang Min to have concerns?

Fortunately, Zhang Xiang took him over and said: "I was originally a teacher with nothing to worry about. There are only a few brothers. Now, thanks to them, I got the top official hat. Is there any reason why I can't bear it? I just don't know what about Mr. Jiang Intend?"

Hearing what the two said, Jiang Bin didn't delay any longer, and asked Xiao Ju directly, "How many troops are there now?"

Xiao Fu smiled wryly and took out a sketch from his bosom, on which he drew the deployment of various places in Datong, with some annotations.

"We don't have a seal flag. Even if we really find a name to raise troops, we don't have any extra troops to adjust. We can't ignore the border defense and use it for private use."

Jiang Bin actually knew this, but he wanted to be sure.

Rubbing Yusi Nanpei on his waist, thinking of that rainy day, the little pig drawn by the man on the umbrella gradually fainted into a shapeless mass of ink, gradually blending into the darkness of the tomb, and felt like a cut.

He once said, "If you don't come for a day, I won't leave for a day", but now, he has to fulfill this unspoken promise first.

Worried, but he couldn't show it on his face, he just said: "Let me think twice."

As he was talking, he heard a cry, and it was Xiner who woke up.Xiao Fu, Zhang Wei and Sun Zhen more or less guessed that Jiang Bin had other plans, and they didn't want to force him to make up his mind, so they all went to wait for Xin Er, who had finished drinking the milk, to come out from the nanny.

Jiang Bin found Wu Jie, who was fascinated by the chrysanthemums in the corridor, and said, "Before, he insisted that I be buried with him, what can you say?"

Wu Jie turned his head and looked at Jiang Bin silently for a moment: "The situation in Kangling is reasonable, so please be prepared, but have you been to that treasure city?"

"I've been there."

"Have you read the inscription on the brick tablet carefully?"

Jiang Bin shook his head. At that time, he was only paying attention to his feet, and he didn't pay attention to the words. They seemed to be densely packed, and they were regarded as those clichés of praise.

"It's engraved with the script of extermination."

Jiang Bin was taken aback, the extermination text was a ghost book, for the dead to read.

"He was afraid that he would become a wandering soul, and he would forget this life after staying in the tomb for a long time, so he ordered someone to write down his life and all kinds of things with you in exterminate script, so that he can remember and wait until you are with him Go reincarnate." Wu Jie sighed and said, "I don't know where he heard this idea, I persuaded him, after death, he still stays in the yang world hiding from the seductive ghosts, just to waste his energy, waiting for a long time , the soul is also thin, and there will be no good place to go in the afterlife. If you wait another hundred or thousand years, it is unknown whether the soul will be scattered..."

Wu Jie's calm words entered Jiang Bin's ears, but the sound was like thunder, and each word was like a bolt of lightning, reflecting his pale face, hitting his heart one after another.

It turned out that the understatement that death is the same acupuncture point, he actually took it seriously.

But now, how could he just watch him fall into a precarious situation?What's more, he didn't go alone. If he didn't have at least five points of confidence, how could he be worthy of these brothers who followed him?

He, Jiang Bin, is enough to be buried with him.

He untied Si Nanpei from his waist and held it up to Wu Jie: "If this is broken, can you still put it back together?".

Wu Jie had seen the Yusi Nanpei tied with the fan bag on Jiang Bin's waist before, and guessed it was given by Emperor Zhengde. Seeing him asking this question now, he also figured out the reason.

He took it in his hand, looked at it over and over again, shook his head and said: "If you only want to have a shape, you can't make it exactly the same, there must be some kind of mechanism, it must be it. It doesn't look like a hidden head when I hold it here. What, or very lightly... what did he tell you?"

Jiang Bin was quite surprised that Wu Jie could think of this, so he told Wu Jie everything that Emperor Zhengde said before.After hearing this, Wu Jie said thoughtfully: "I heard that this was left to him by his father, logically speaking, he shouldn't have hidden anything else, or he ordered others to imitate it."

Jiang Bin sounded a little confused. Could it be that Emperor Zhengde deliberately opened this secret key in order to let him enter the mausoleum?But why do you have to imitate Yusi Nanpei and teach others to see it?

Jiang Bin couldn't figure it out, Wu Jie held Yusi Nanpei under the sun and looked at it for a moment, his expression suddenly changed.

He suddenly raised his head and fixedly looked at Jiang Bin, Jiang Bin noticed his gaze: "What?"

Wu Jie hesitated for a moment, then held up Yu Sinan and handed it to Jiang Bin, motioning for him to look through the light. Jiang Bin followed Wu Jie's intention and built a "pergola" on his forehead to take a closer look. step.
