355 The Wind and Rain(1/2)
Lin Qianyi's mansion was like a small boat swaying in the strong wind and heavy rain. The two thousand elite troops outside flooded Lin's residence like a flood, while the real decisive forces had their bows and arrows ready to deliver a fatal blow.
Lin Fulin was very worried about the Lin family. How could he know that this was just an appetizer for the big shot.
Qiantang was full of dust, and he took out the king's handwriting. The moment Nangong Qianbai saw the handwriting, his already pale face suddenly became even paler, and he exclaimed: "It's over."
It turned out that Qian Wanli ordered Qiantang to quickly mobilize the 50,000 imperial troops to guard Lin'an City. Qiantang was thinking about how to fight in such a battle to capture Lin Qianyi. The joints that Qianbai had not figured out before were now completely clear.
Qian Wanli was fighting against the Qian clan of Gusu with the whole of Wuyue. Why did Qian Wanli, who was in the court, know that the corpse was from Qiantang, but he pretended to be dumbfounded and even threw Qiantang's bones into a mass grave.
It turns out that Qian Wanli is playing a big game of chess. Qianbai was not sure before, but now Qianbai is completely convinced that Qian Wanli must have planned to kill Qian Binbin, and Qiantang's death is inextricably linked to Qian Wansan.
Relationship.
The hatred of killing a son is irreconcilable.
Qian Wanli went completely crazy, and he wanted to fight Qian Wansan to the death.
Qianbai glanced at the prosperous Lin'an City. If there was a war, how many people would die and how many people would be displaced?
Perhaps only Qian Wansan knew the secret of Qiantang's death.
As for whether Qian Wanli knew about it, Qianbai wasn't sure.
The current Crown Prince, Qian Wanli, may have known his identity for a long time, but to hand over thousands of troops to him at this moment is to test him.
If His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to avenge his brother, then if the battle is successful, he will still be the Crown Prince of Wu Yue. If he does not obey his orders, then life and death will depend on Qian Wanli's thoughts.
Seeing Qianbai's solemn look, Xu Tianran asked, "How to break the situation?"
Qian Bai didn't have time to talk to Xu Tianran and Qiantang in detail, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, please go to the outside of the city to lead the troops immediately. I will let Xu Xu protect you. Remember, don't start the war lightly."
At this moment, we can only trust each other.
Qian Tang cupped his fists, got on his horse, and galloped away. He slowly jumped up to Qian Tang's neck and said with a smile: "Uncle Qian, let's go."
Qian Tang hummed, thinking a lot.
Qian Bai asked Xu Tianran to call Qian Yue. Qian Yue was dressed in military uniform and looked heroic. Seeing everyone's expressions, he knew that the situation was more serious than expected and said calmly: "What are your orders, Mr. Nangong?"
Qianbai was not polite and said calmly: "Your Highness, the Princess, surround the Lin Mansion. If any thieves escape, they will be killed. If there are thieves who sneak in, they will also be killed. However, Your Highness, the Princess, is not allowed to attack the mansion."
Qian Yue clasped his fists tightly and said with extraordinary grace, "The last general will take orders."
Qian Bai looked back at Xu Tianran and said calmly: "Let's walk into the dragon's pond and the tiger's den."
Xu Tianran folded his sleeves with his hands and hung them flat on his waist. He looked up at the sky and said calmly: "Let's walk."
A man in a green shirt led the way, followed closely by Qianbai, Qianxun and Qiu Niu. The four of them marched toward Miss Qing'er's teahouse.
Qian Binbin was chatting with the little girl with braided hair all the time in Su's mansion. He looked up at the sky and murmured: "We are partners in business together, don't betray me?"
Unfortunately, when he raised his head, Qian Binbin saw a familiar face. The dead man's water with heavy makeup was hanging upside down on the dense sycamore tree. Qian Binbin almost vomited.
The little girl with braids peeled the melon seeds carefully, seemingly without noticing.
Ah Hu poked his head from the kitchen and glanced at the rich man sitting in the lobby. Ah Hu didn't know how to look at people, but based on the aura of the middle-aged man in charge, he felt that this gentleman must have a good background. Could it be
The king goes on patrol incognito?
These young people have lived in the royal city for a long time and have seen a lot. They can tell at a glance
Although this rich man has a good status, Qing'er has developed the ability to play the pipa in harmony with his father's tone.
The rich middle-aged man had prepared drinks and side dishes, but he did not drink a glass of wine or take a bite of the side dishes. Behind him stood an ordinary-looking woman, a swordsman in Confucian robes and a slovenly man. Although the three of them lacked any intelligence,
His power fluctuates, but at a glance you can tell that he is not a simple character.
The rich middle-aged man squinted his eyes, shook his head, and nodded slightly when he heard the words.
What Mr. Gu is talking about is about a man wearing a green shirt and killing an ox with a sword. With the old man's hoarse voice, the story is wonderful, immersive and mesmerizing.
Outside the tea shop, a man in green shirt walked slowly inside. Ahu already knew Brother Xu. He immediately jumped out of the kitchen and walked to Brother Xu. He mustered up the courage and was just about to hold Brother Xu's hand.
, only to find that there was oil on his hands, he quickly wiped it on his body, then stretched out his hand and said solemnly: "Brother Xu, you are here."
Xu Tianran held Ah Hu's hand, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Ah Hu, bring a plate of broad beans, a plate of fennel beans, warm two pots of wine, and let's sit down for a while."
Ah Hu said warmly: "Okay, Brother Xu, I'll get it done for you right away."
Xu Tianran stepped into the lobby, followed closely by Qianbai, followed by Xu Xu and Qi Niu.
Yi Yi, who was dressed in a green shirt, slowly sat down. Qianbai, Qianxun and Qi Niu stood behind Yi Yi. There were only two tables of guests in the already empty hall. One person was seated and three people were standing behind him.
Li Changan really found it incredible. After thinking about it seriously, he smiled with relief.
A and B couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Xu Xiaozi was selling in his gourd, so they winked at Li Changan. Li Changan looked up at the sky, making A and B roll their eyes anxiously.
Only Hua Ran looked cold.
Qing'er saw Brother Xu coming, and Mr. Gu heard Xiaozi Xu coming.
Ah Hu came with side dishes and drinks.
In the teahouse, the only sounds were Mr. Gu's desolate and hoarse voice and the sound of the pipa playing with jade beads.
Mr. Gu was blind in his eyes but not in his heart. He knew that Mr. Xu had something important to do when he came, so he did not dare to disturb him easily, so he could only continue to tell the story.
Xu Tianran looked at it for a long time, then waved, called Ah Hu over, and said softly: "Fifty taels of silver reward."
Ah Hu quickly shook his head, waved his hand and said: "Brother Xu, how can I accept your silver reward? Master and Sister Qing'er will not scold me to death later."
Xu Tianran said calmly: "Ah Hu, take it, they won't blame you, just follow the rules."
Ah Hu glanced at Sister Qing'er, Qing'er nodded slightly, and then Ah Hu accepted the five taels of silver and said loudly: "Master Xu rewards you with five taels of silver."
Mr. Gu stood up slowly. Mr. Gu bowed deeply and Qing'er gave a blessing. This is the rule of the teahouse.
The middle-aged rich man was unmoved. Hua Ran waved and called Ah Hu over. Ah Hu bowed slightly and asked, "Sir, what are your orders?"
Hua Ran took out five taels of silver, and Ah Hu seemed to be aware of the strange situation at the moment. He was not happy after receiving the five taels of silver, but he forced a smile and asked: "I would like to ask the honorable name of the guest officer?"
Qian Wansan said calmly: "My surname is Qian."
Ah Hu said loudly: "Master Qian rewards you with five taels of silver."
Mr. Gu and Qing'er stood up together to express their thanks.
From the moment they entered the room, Xu Tianran and Qian Wansan were at odds with each other. Qian Wansan had laid out the food and wine, but Xu Tianran didn't serve it easily. Instead, he also placed the food and wine on the table. As for who would give in first, it was up to each of them according to their abilities.
Qianbai summoned Ah Hu again and rewarded him with five taels of silver.
Following Ah Hu's high-pitched voice and Qian Wansan's approval, Hua Ran made the move for ten taels of silver.
Ah Hu was a little embarrassed and frowned and said: "Mr. Qian, the store has regulations. You can reward up to five taels at a time and up to ten taels a day. You have given too much, and the store dare not accept it."
Hua Ran frowned slightly, "
Where in the world can there be any reason to complain about having too much money?”
Ah Hu shrank his head and said solemnly: "Master stipulates it."
Mr. Gu stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Qian, this rule is set by the old man. The tea shop is doing small business. The money is too heavy and I can't handle too much."
Just as Hua Ran was about to argue, Qian Wansan stopped Hua Ran, stood up and said with a hearty smile: "What the old gentleman said makes sense, I'm going to give Meng Lang a try."
Qian Wansan patted Ah Hu's shoulder gently and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, please help me carry our table of food and wine to the next table."
Ah Hu was a little embarrassed, Xu Tianran smiled and said: "Ah Hu, just do it."
Ah Hu had no choice but to do as he was told.
Qian Wansan moved to a man in a green shirt and said calmly: "Sir, would you mind sharing a table?"
Xu Tianran stood up, cupped his fists and said, "Senior, it's a great honor to move here."
In the first round, Xu Tianran won.
Just as Qian Wansan was about to sit down, Xu Tianran took the lead and said: "Senior, these three are my friends. Would you mind sitting down with them?"
Qian Wansan said calmly: "I don't mind."
Xu Tianran and Qian Wansan sat opposite each other. Qianbai, Qianxun and Qiu Niu sat on the left side of Xu Tianran. Qian Wansan said loudly: "Master, do you mind if my servants sit down together?"
Xu Tianran waved his hand and said calmly: "I don't mind."
Hua Ran, Li Changan and A and B took their seats one after another.
Xu Tianran raised his glass and said as a landlord: "Senior, meeting by chance means we are destined. I would like to propose a toast to you."
Qian Wansan raised his wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and said quietly: "Good and bad relationships are all caused by fate."
Xu Tianran bowed slightly and said, "A fight can be a treasure, it all depends on the senior's thoughts."
Qian Wansan shook his head and said helplessly: "I am a swordsman and a fish, I can't help myself."
Xu Tianran sighed, "Tit for tat, swords and swords are drawn, and everyone is at war."
Qian Wansan naturally understood what Xu Tianran meant and said with a smile: "Young man, don't imitate those old turtles who say confusing things. Just talk, fight or not?"
Logically speaking, Xu Tianran had merit for the Qian family. Although Qian Wansan was able to protect Qian Binbin's life during the interception in Yangzhou, the outcome of Li Chang'an, A, B and Hua Ran was hard to say.
No matter how wealthy the Gusu Qian family was, it would be painful to easily damage the three masters. However, fate seemed to have played a joke on Xu Tianran, and by chance, they were on the opposite side again.
Xu Tianran shook his head and said: "If this junior can make the decision, of course he will not fight."
