Opposite the entrance hall

The mist is dark, suddenly the wind blows, and the drizzle will come.

The weather in Kashgar was cloudy and uncertain. When we first arrived at the gate of the city, a strong wind swept in, and the sun was covered by dark clouds. The sky seemed to be falling down.

Seeing this, Chu Yi hurriedly took a step forward and whispered to the people beside him: "My lord, let's go back, your illness is just right, this wind blows, the fever finally subsided, don't fall ill again at that time .”

Ji Si looked up at the gray sky, tilted his head and smiled at people: "It doesn't matter, it's probably going to rain today, let's go into the city quickly."

I followed behind him on the first day of the junior high school and looked at the people around him. Kashgar is a city where Dajin culture and Nandian culture are intertwined and fused. The narrow gown was a bit out of place, causing the people passing by to turn their heads to look at it.

When the soldiers entered the city, they needed to be interrogated. Ji Si handed over the badge on his waist. The soldier took it and looked at the two of them for a moment. He left in a hurry after making the two of them wait on the sidelines.

On the first day of the lunar new year, he leaned over and lowered his voice and asked, "What are they talking about?"

Ji Si stood in the corner and observed the surroundings of Kashgar, and said softly: "They are speaking Nandian dialect, probably saying that we are from Lin'an, presumably we are the same as those highly promoted officials who came a few days ago."

"Your Excellency is so good, you can even understand Nandian dialect." Chu Yi looked admiring.

"I don't understand." Ji Si tilted his head and said, "I just said something to tease you, but I didn't expect you to really believe it."

"..."

Ji Sile couldn't do it, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the two people coming out of the city gate. They were two women, wearing blue and blue Kashgar costumes. The one on the right looked younger, about the same age as the first day of junior high school. The one walking on the left is older, but not more than double ten, and also tall, looks about the same as Ji Si, both of them wear veils, their faces can't be seen clearly, but their pupils are a little light green when you look closely. Hang this bell accessory around your neck and jingle as you walk.

The girl on the left raised her eyes, met Ji Si's eyes, and then turned back after a while and walked in front of Ji Si. After only three steps, someone behind her called them to stop, "Wait a minute, the two girls in front."

This sentence is a standard Nandian dialect. The two women paused, and the younger one was a little flustered, and subconsciously looked up at the person beside him.

The blue-clothed woman's eyes darkened, and she stood still on the spot.

Ji Si touched his nose, picked up the things on the ground, and while beating the dust on them, he approached the two and said, "The two girls lost their things."

The two looked at each other, turned around one after another, and saw Ji Si holding a blue sachet in his hand, the woman in blue changed her expression, and hurriedly touched the empty waist.

"Return it to its original owner, the girl needs to be more careful." Ji Si handed over the sachet.

The woman in blue nodded her head in thanks and reached out to take it.

"Thank you, sir," the woman in Tsing Yi said, speaking in Nandian dialect, "My sister's voice is damaged and she can't speak, I hope you will forgive me, and I will thank you on behalf of my sister."

"It's okay, it's just a matter of raising your hands." Ji Si waved his hand, "The two girls are in a hurry, and there must be something urgent, so I won't delay you."

"Farewell."

Ji Si smiled and nodded, staring thoughtfully at the backs of the two leaving.

"Didn't your lord say you can't speak Nandian dialect?" Chuyi said quietly behind his back.

Hearing his tone, Ji Si laughed out loud, "I just said something to tease you, but I didn't expect you to believe it again."

"..."

On the first day of junior high school, I was really angry, rolled my eyes and complained: "My lord is making fun of me, it's okay, but you can't do this to other people. Other people's temper is not as good as mine. Don't get beaten up, it's like you just stared at me." The girl keeps looking at her, her eyeballs almost stick to her body, this kind of behavior is frivolous, and she will be cast aside in Xiangzhou."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ji Si pinched his cheeks and smiled, narrowing his eyes, like an uneasy and kind human trafficker, "Which eye sees your lord? My eyeballs are stuck on the girl. I am young but mature in thinking. Those two girls are not ordinary people. Have you noticed just now that the girl in blue has a softer footstep than the girl in green next to her? When I was returning the sachet, I noticed that she had a thick layer of calluses on her tiger’s mouth, and she would subconsciously when she was nervous Touching the back of the waist, this is the body's instinctive response to emergencies. Standing posture, the feet are naturally spread out, and the thumb is slightly bent inward. It should be the bad habit of people who use knives all the year round. A long knife with a blade three feet three inches long and a handle one foot three inches long."

Ji Si let go of his cheeks and stretched his muscles, and continued: "The blades of this specification are mostly used in the army."

"My lord, do you mean that these two are from the Nandian army?" Chu Yi frowned, "I've never heard of women serving as soldiers in the Nandian army camp."

"No." Ji Si looked at him amusedly, and muttered to himself: "This is a performance of "Si Fan". It's a man, not a woman. It's interesting."

On the first day of the junior high school, he lowered his head and pondered, suddenly understood, opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by a sudden shout.

"Master Ji."

The two turned their heads when they heard the sound, and Kong Lingqiu came over surrounded by a group of people, "I've been so busy these days, I haven't had time to visit once or twice, I don't know if Ji Shilang is feeling better?"

"Lao Kong's Minister is thinking about it, it's not a serious problem." Ji Si replied.

Kong Lingqiu smiled and turned to the people behind him, saying: "This is the servant of the household department, Mr. Ji Buyan, Mr. Ji, the one behind me is Mr. Chen, the magistrate of Kashgar County, and the one next to me is the Yao family. Eldest son, from now on we will be colleagues."

"My subordinate Chen De has met Ji Shilang."

Ji Si nodded irrationally, and just turned his head slightly to look behind Kong Lingqiu. The eldest son of the Yao family is about the same age as Xiao Changyu, and his appearance is ordinary. Even if he praises it, it can only be regarded as Shang Qingxiu's spirit, went to a place where there was not much outstanding, saw Ji Siwang approaching, bowed his head and said with a warm smile: "Yao Youwei met Ji Shilang."

The Yao family is the largest family in Kashgar, a well-known and well-known family, has a set of skills in mining and mining, and its reputation is not to be underestimated. Although the people of Kashgar have small workshops for ore mining, most of the people are controlled by the Yao family. Asylum, they contribute, the Yao family contributes money and technology, this has been the case since ancient times, so the prestige of the Yao family in Kashgar may be somewhat greater than that of local officials, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are a local emperor, and it is precisely This kind of status is suitable for managing Kashgar, but the premise is naturally that the experience is towards Dajin.

"Mr. Yao is polite." Ji Si naturally knew these reasons, and waved his hands with a gentle smile. "The imperial edict of appointment will arrive in a few days. You and I will be officials in the same dynasty. The emperor attaches so much importance to Kashgar now. Mr. Yao will be the Zuo Shi of Kashgar, and he will have to rely on one or two."

"Ji Shilang is joking, Kashgar is far and lagging behind, how can it be as good as coming from Kyoto, not to mention that the ancestors of the Yao family have been in business for generations and have never been an official. This is really ignorant of the way to be an official. It should be that I rely on Ji Shilang , and look forward to more guidance in the future.”

"It's easy to say." The two laughed.

At this time, Kong Lingqiu said, "There are a lot of people here, and Ji Shilang is just recovering from a serious illness. Why don't you go to the city and talk slowly."

"It's my negligence," Yao Youwei turned sideways and made a gesture of asking, "Ji Shilang, please!"

Ji Si smiled and nodded and walked into the city gate first. The street that came into view was very lively, but some buildings were different from Lin'an. The few places facing the street were in the standard Jin style. On the pillars, the lower part is elevated, and the upper floor is occupied by people. It looks like Nandian's bamboo building style. The communication language on the street is mostly based on Nandian dialect, with a few crappy Chinese mixed in, which sounds awkward.

The appearance of their group attracted a lot of attention. Along the way, many people greeted Yao Youwei enthusiastically, and received a lot of vegetables, melons, fruits, gifts and snacks, explaining how famous the Yao family was in Kashgar. It was bigger than they expected. Ji Si and Kong Lingqiu looked at each other, and they saw shock in each other's eyes.

The Yao family's house is a Jin-style building, with flowers and pavilions, water corridors and attics, all of which are elegant and exquisite.

"My father is sick, so I don't want to come here and let the two servants get over his illness, I hope you will forgive me," Yao Youwei said while leading the way, "The humble house is simple and tidy, so I can only feel wronged by Minister Ji."

Ji Si looked around, the screens in the room were made of golden nanmu, the quilts were made of double-sided silk, the tea set on the table was emerald pine and cypress evergreen, the incense burner burned tea and wuxiang, and even the candlesticks were gilded. In the meantime, Ji Si didn't know how the word "simple" was written, so he could only politely say: "Please worry about it."

"As far as duty is concerned, Ji Shilang can tell his servants if necessary."

"I don't need anything, but this time I came to Kashgar to follow the emperor's order. We are all colleagues, so we don't need to hide some things." Ji Si sat down, poured three cups of tea, and poured the other two. Pushing the cup over, he picked up his own and took a sip, then said slowly: "Master Yao must also know that Kashgar has always been on the emperor's mind, and now that he is able to return, it means that my country is prosperous in Jin Dynasty, and the emperor rules well. It is a virtuous and benevolent monarch who cares about Kashgar and the people of Kashgar, so he sent me and Kong Shilang to express condolences, thinking that Kashgar's cultural customs are different from those of other prefectures, and set a precedent to implement the new government decentralization law in Kashgar. It is to let the people of Kashgar understand that Dajin has always regarded them as compatriots. Young Master Yao will serve as Kashgar Zuo Shi in the future. Except for the obligation of paying tribute every year, all other affairs will be managed by himself. Then we are people on the same path, Mr. Yao must remember that if you are not of my race, your heart must be different."

Yao Youwei's smile did not change, and he still had the docile appearance. He raised the teacup and drank it, then put the cup back to its original place, nodded and said in agreement: "What Ji Shilang said is true, I will go see my father first. , and wait for the trivial arrangements to be settled, then discuss the New Deal with the two adults, and leave!"

When the people walked away, Ji Si looked at Kong Lingqiu, who was pouring tea by himself, and asked, "Aren't Minister Kong going?"

The latter played with the teacup in his hand and raised his eyes to look over, "What Ji Shilang said just now is very exciting, and if the Young Master of the Yao family is smarter, he will understand the meaning."

"Kong Shilang is too famous," Ji Si thought to himself, "After all, this job is ordered by the emperor. If it is done well, you and I will be rewarded, but if it is not done well, I don't know how many people are thinking about us now." Take this position, trouble!"

Kong Lingqiu's smile deepened, he raised his head and drank the tea, and said, "The people of Kashgar still regard themselves as people of Nandian in their hearts, and they are very hostile to the Jin Dynasty. It is not easy to implement the law of separation of powers. Is there any good way?"

"No," Ji Sisi refused without thinking, "Kong Shilang has a brilliant literary talent, and he is also at the top of the top three list. His talent and strategy are beyond the reach of others. I know how much I have. Although I am not illiterate, it is It can’t be compared to it, except for the thought of asking General Xiao to send troops to suppress it, it’s really powerless, it’s better not to delay the matter, Kong Shilang can arrange it.”

What he said was true, Kong Lingqiu stared at Ji Si with a complex expression, and actually felt a little disgusted in his heart and did not want to be with this person. He didn't show it on his face, but said politely: "I have an idea. The reason why the common people are hostile to Dajin is simply because they are deeply influenced by Nandian culture, they speak Nandian dialect and eat Nandian food, but Nandian is just a barbarian compared to Dajin In the country of Kashgar, Kashgar has been deeply influenced by barbarian culture for hundreds of years. It is normal to reject Jin people like this. As long as this sense of belonging is eliminated, all things will be solved. It is better to go to the fire to draw salary, then we will smoke The salary of Nandian came to put out the fire of Kashgar."

Ji Si squinted his eyes, his thoughts were rushing, and he picked out his ears with an absent-minded look, "I don't quite understand Kong Shilang's method, but I feel at ease when you are here, it's best for us to finish our work early and go back to Lin'an as soon as possible." , so as not to have to look at Xiao Changyu's face here, this Xiao family is also in the eyes of no one, the two of us have been in Kashgar for so long, and he Xiao Changsheng has not shown his face so far. Your Majesty puts it in your eyes, and when I return to Beijing, I will definitely read a book and kill their Xiao family spirit!"

Kong Lingqiu didn't answer, but just put down the cup and got up, "It's time to go after tea, so I won't bother Ji Shilang to rest."

People went out of the house and went far away, Ji Si made a show and hurriedly closed the door, turned around and asked in puzzlement: "My lord looks serious, but what are you thinking?"

Ji Si lowered her eyes, and her eyes fell on the tea-stained water glass left by Kong Lingqiu, and said in a flat tone: "I don't know why, I feel uneasy these days, as if something is about to happen."

"Could it be that you are worrying too much, my lord? Maybe you feel flustered because you are still ill and your mood is unstable." Chuyi took out something from his pocket and handed it over, "I prepared a tranquilizer for you Bao, put jujube kernels, cypress kernels, acacia skin and three green incense, you take it with you to nourish your mind, and I will take a look for you when you return to Lin'an."

The navy blue medicine bag was simple in workmanship, but with extra care, Ji Si felt a warm current in his heart, took the medicine bag in his hand, looked at it with downcast eyes and pondered: "Maybe I really worry too much."

The sky outside the window was gloomy, covering the sky above the town, and there was a feeling that the sky was about to collapse, bringing deep tension and oppression, making people breathless. Ji Si stared at the sky seriously, the city The person outside is also looking seriously, the tulle covers the face and only reveals a pair of eyes, the green pupils are a little darker, especially against the dark sky, they look a bit coquettish, this person is leaning on the tree and sitting under the tree with his knees bent , the upturned neck is slender and slender, looking extraordinarily chic and casual.

Suddenly, the branch shook, and something flew towards it. The man raised his hand and grabbed it without changing his expression. He looked closely at a crushed fruit, and the red juice of the fruit flowed down the fingers, making his hand wet. The feeling made the man frowned, and he looked back at the place where the fruit flew. There stood a young girl, about twelve, three or four years old, wearing a Nandian dress, revealing her white legs and abdomen, black and beautiful Her hair is braided into two braids with the same color rope and hangs on both sides, a silver hair pendant hangs on the top of her head, and there are also various silver ornaments on her neck, hands, legs and abdomen, making every step there are jingle bells As soon as the bell rang, she held a pile of clothes in her hands, and when she looked carefully, it was the one in front of the Kashgar city gate, and the identities of the two were self-evident.

"Why don't you change your clothes? Don't you suddenly feel that being a woman is very happy." The girl joked in Nandian dialect.

The man under the tree gave a fierce look, tore off the tulle on his face, and said coldly: "If you say one more word, I will throw you here."

The voice is a little hoarse but it can be clearly heard that it is a male voice. The face is green but full of maturity and gloom between the eyebrows and eyes. The most noticeable thing is the word "servant" tattooed on the right cheek. It complements the eyes and can shock others. .

The girl pursed her lips, walked over angrily, and started to get angry with her hands on her hips, "If you dare to throw me here, I will tell Dama when I go back, and let him punish you! Punish you severely, hum! "

The man sneered, changed his posture and turned his back to others, so he didn't bother to talk to her.

The girl was so angry that she walked around in front of him, "If I, Damafei, let me be your wife, I wanted you to push back the engagement, how could I have come to Kashgar, and how could I have been killed by Meng Langda?" People coaxed you to save me."

The man still didn't answer, but turned around and changed direction again.

"Besides, you always say that I'm stupid and you may not be very smart. The Dajin people used a little trick and you fell for it. Besides, didn't you also see the Dajin general? People were afraid that you would die, so they secretly took the You let it go, isn't that just a blessing in disguise, Anaang..."

Before he finished speaking, the man named Anaang resigned with knife-like eyes, the girl blinked, and hurriedly changed her name into a Chinese name, "Chang Chen, the general let you go, but You just returned Kashgar, aren't you afraid that other people will not accept it?"

Xiao Changchen raised his eyelids to look at her, and said with a smile, "If I stick to what I do, I can make the decision. If anyone refuses to obey, beat him until he obeys!"

After the words fell, hurried footsteps sounded in the woods, and a group of Nandian soldiers rushed out and knelt down, saying in unison: "I have seen the general, and I have seen Princess Arumanlei."

The sound of Qi Shushua resounded through the sky, Xiao Changchen stood up, although he was dressed as a woman, his momentum and tone were different, he stared at everyone, then raised his hand and shouted: "Return to the camp!"

A group of people mounted their horses in an orderly formation, Haohao Tangtang walked to the depths of the green wood forest, Xiao Changchen walked at the end, tightened the reins and looked at the side of the Xiaoqi camp, pursed his thin lips, and for a while, pulled The reins turned around to catch up with the crowd, the figures gradually drifted away, the drizzle fell, and a thick miasma rose from the woods, covering the entire green wood forest. The rising rain and fog made this place look like a fairyland.

The rain was not heavy but it was cool. Xiao Changyu walked in the rain wearing a military uniform, and his hair was covered with a layer of rain fog formed by rainwater. The military boots made of deerskin stamped on the wet and soft ground with different shades. He walked very fast, and got into the forest in the blink of an eye, leaving only a background.

The Baima Gorge area is mountainous and tree-dense, with dense forests and stretching mountains. Xiao Changyu's destination is a deserted mountain. The extra trees have been reclaimed to form a simple school yard. He walked straight to the entrance of the cave. At the entrance of the cave, there were quite a few soldiers from the Xiaoqi Battalion, and when they saw him coming, they hurriedly saluted, "General."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Changyu raised his hand and asked.

"I've been watching closely, and I haven't come out." The soldier replied.

Xiao Changyu nodded and didn't say much. He stepped in and walked in. Notches were dug out on the mountain wall to place oil lamps, so it was very bright, and everything had been cleaned and arranged. Except for some dampness, there was no discomfort.

It didn't take long to walk and came to the end. At the end, there was a man in gray cloth. He didn't put on a crown but fastened it with a tie. He was sitting at the stone table and was rolling dice with his left and right hands. There were many empty wine bottles on the ground. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he shook the dice for a moment, turned around and looked at the person coming, then raised his eyebrows and said in a serious way: "Is it raining outside? There is no sound in this cave, and there was no sound when you came." Bring an umbrella and don't get sick."

Xiao Changyu still didn't speak, just walked over with a wooden face and said coldly: "Someone is here from Lin'an."

The man, whose identity is unknown, lowered his eyes, the emotions in his eyes were completely covered, and then pushed the dice cup over, "I'm so bored playing alone, come on? I guess big."

Staring at the things on the table, Xiao Changyu took a few quick shakes to open it, "Jiu, I won"

"You didn't win every time since I was a child, and I planned to lose. Brother, you should abandon my Baoxiao family."

"Xiao Changsheng!" Xiao Changyu's anger welled up all of a sudden, he raised his hand to slap the person in front of him but he couldn't slap him, "Do you know what you're talking about!"

Xiao Changsheng raised his head and took a sip of the wine and wiped the stain with the back of his hand, "I know, I am not willing to be under you, I am dissatisfied, I am wandering around and have a bad mood, I am bewitched by Nandian people, and I am going to cooperate with Nandian inside and outside, it is you It was only after discovering that Ni Dayi killed his own relatives that the Xiao family's reputation could be preserved and both loyalty and filial piety could be achieved."

"Do you think our Xiao family's reputation will be preserved in this way? You let your grandma's shit!" Xiao Changyu pointed at his nose and cursed, "So what if you have many crimes, the Xiao family has to bear half of those crimes. Just because your surname is Xiao, just because your name is Xiao Changsheng! You should never have let Anang go. He is the chief general of Nandian and the fiancé-in-law of Princess Nandian. How much did we spend? It took all your energy to catch him, you are letting the tiger go back to the mountain!"

"You were the ones who used me as bait to lure him into the trap!" Xiao Changsheng yelled back, "Because you have always been an upright general, you disdain this kind of trick the most. Every honor our Xiaocai Army gets is a real sword." If you win with real guns, you will win with openness and a clear conscience."

"Be upright? Have a clear conscience?" Xiao Changyu paced back and forth with anger on his face, and said in a loud voice: "You can be upright with your friends, and you can have a clear conscience with your monarch, but they are enemy countries, they are enemies, and there is no gentleman's agreement when two armies meet. What matters is winning or losing, only winning or losing! You have always been sentimental since you were a child, but you never thought that you would be like this on the battlefield. If you had known that today would happen, I would have killed Anaon the moment you picked him up. This scourge!"

Xiao Changsheng smiled wryly, "If I had known that today would happen, I would have done it before you."

Xiao Changyu stared at him for a while, and finally just let out a long sigh.

The drizzle was drizzling, the mist was hazy, the raindrops fell on the branches, washed off the dust, dripped on the surface of the lake, made ripples, dripped into the soil, wet the soil, and dripped on various oil umbrellas, The hurried pace of the crowd walking back and forth splashed rainwater and wet the trousers, slightly raised the umbrella to look around, then closed the umbrella and bowed into a door, stopped in front of the hall, bent over and saluted, " Lord."

Li Hongye, who was painting, didn't stop moving, and didn't raise his head: "What's the matter?"

"All the imperial physicians from the imperial hospital went to the East Palace. I heard that the poison was cleared and the life was saved, but they still haven't woken up."

"I can't see it, but he has a lot of life," Li Hongye sneered, "But as long as this person doesn't wake up, he can't be sure whether he is dead or alive. Maybe he will hear about the prince's death in the morning."

"The emperor Longyan was furious. He summoned all the officials earlier. He was so angry that he couldn't hold on and almost fainted. He ordered the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple to investigate the matter thoroughly. There was no clue at all. Let it go, I vow to find out who the person who murdered the prince is."

Li Hongye paused, and the thick ink from the tip of the pen dripped down and slowly spread on the rice paper. One negligence ruined the picture of birds of prey on Lushan Mountain that he had drawn for a long time. The password continues, let our people not make any big moves in the past few days, and let me calm down. This scene is a bit exciting, we have to find a good position and see what is going on here play!"

He stared at the misty rain outside the window seriously.

After you sing, we will come on stage. This country is riddled with holes, and it has been in danger for a long time. It is time to change hands.
