Wei Yangmou

Chapter 53 The Edge of the Sword 1

On the second day, Liu Che really made another excuse and sent Sangong home to think about it. Bai Ze should not show up in the world, otherwise his father, who still felt a little guilty about him, would probably be the first person to kill him Therefore, Liu Che can only count on himself for the imminent spring plowing.

Cang is honest and knows etiquette, if he can't eat enough, everything is empty talk.

Alchemists have great prestige in the Han Dynasty, if they can use the power of these people, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

However, Liu Che has already thought about how to make use of it, and now he only needs an opportunity.But before he figured out how to take advantage of the right time and place to set up a situation, something happened in Jiaodong.

Jiaodong is far away from Chang'an, is located in a remote place, and the terrain is hilly and undulating, which is suitable for banditry.

Probably the fury of thunder that came to Jiaodong for the first time shocked the local officials. Although they dared not express any dissatisfaction on the surface, they were all suffocated in their hearts. When the bandits appeared, the news was sent to the Jiaodong Palace.

Han Yan sent the captain who came to check the news, knowing that these local snakes probably came back to their senses and wanted to test Liu Che's proficiency.

It's just that the journey along the way is too many dangers, and Han Yan is not sure whether any of these local snakes have already connected with Chang'an and plan to play tricks on this matter.

Leaving aside this aspect, it is difficult to tell clearly just about soldiers and horses. Han Yan has been dealing with these people for several days, but there is no progress.

Logically speaking, when Liu Che came here, there was an imperial decree from the emperor, and the taxation and military power should be handed over to Liu Che. But so far, no one has mentioned this matter.

Whenever Han Yan thinks about it, she always feels uneasy.

Liu Che received the news of the bandits and went out for several days without knowing where he went. He was full of travel and dust every day. Although he was in good spirits, every time he came back he was in a mess.

The manpower of the Jiaodong palace is still not enough, but neither of them mentioned the topic of buying servants. They don't know the situation in Jiaodong. They may bring back nails. Both of them are very careful, and the existing manpower in the mansion is busy. It's hard to let go, so the personal service always falls on Han Yan.

Therefore, he slept very vigilantly at night, afraid that he would not hear Liu Che coming back, but he was also tired all the way, and he sneered with these officials, and his spirit was not good. Then he relaxed a little. After waking up this night, it was already dawn. Liu Che was changing clothes in front of the bed. The newly added wound on his back was still oozing blood. Han Yan woke up with a jolt, and sat up suddenly. She fainted for a while, but her eyes were filled with bloody wounds on Liu Che's back.

Liu Che looked back at him, saw that his eyes were full of worry and self-blame, his heart burned, he put on his clothes indiscriminately, and comforted him: "Skin injuries, it's okay."

Han Yan shook her head, did not speak, took the wound medicine and applied it to him.

"Are you going out today?"

Seeing his gloomy face, Liu Che felt very ironic: "There are so many forces in Jiaodong, and I have to go to investigate one or two. I can only work hard for you first."

"It's Han Yan's job."

Liu Che rubbed Han Yan's face, chuckled softly, "I'll bring you some good things when I come back."

Han Yan suddenly thought of one thing: "Yesterday, the Yan family sent invitations, and I thought that all the scholars in Jiaodong have complicated connections, and the palace's status is sensitive. If you act rashly, you may cause disaster, so you invited them all. "

"What Yan said is very true."

Liu Che had no objection, so Han Yan stopped saying these words. The two of them washed and changed their clothes, had breakfast together, and Liu Che went out again with a few servants.

Things in the mansion were in a mess, and the banquet was not held in the mansion, but in Mingyuefang in the city.

Alchemists do not shy away from the love between men and women. This Mingyuefang is the most famous singing and dancing hall in Jiaodong Mansion. There are also some women in it who do skin and meat business, but the asking price is quite high. Han Yan is now an out-and-out poor.

Although the officials of Jiaodong donated a lot of treasures, he couldn't move, otherwise the face of Jiaodong Mansion would be lost.

All the objects given by the emperor before his departure were rewarded in sevens and eights. Han Yan had to put his livelihood on the agenda again, but he didn't want to bother Liu Che with these trivial matters.

Han Yan was about to go to the front hall to deal with some chores, when Han Jin came back, dragging two boxes in his hand, bowed to Han Yan from a distance, and said with a smile: "Your Highness asked the villain to come back to deliver things, saying that you are afraid today It is useful."

A few girls from Sandalwood came to pick up the box, and after being signaled by Han Yan, they opened the box again. One contained large and small cake-shaped gold pieces, and the other contained copper coins strung together.

Han Yan was startled, and opened her mouth to ask where it came from, but when the words came to her mouth, she suddenly remembered the injury on Liu Che's back, and the words came out of her mouth.

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Han Jin whispered: "We have been visiting with His Highness recently, and met a few groups of bandits. His Highness confiscated them, and they were tied up in the bandit's den. His Highness said it was all bandits. The common people, the crime is not worthy of death, and they are about to receive military status and go to help the spring plowing."

He pointed to the east, where most of the officials of Jiaodong Mansion live: "I'm afraid I don't know, it's really a hard stubble, but unfortunately, our Highness is so powerful, stomping his feet, we are rushing to be recruited... those people I guess I'm still waiting to see His Highness's jokes, so I won't be able to scare them to death!"

In the past half a month, Liu Che has cleaned up almost all the bandits in Jiaodong, leaving only the vicious ones.

Han Yan's spirit was shocked, and she felt a lot more relaxed, and then gave Han Jin the box containing gold in Sandalwood's hand: "There are many places that ask for money..."

Before he finished speaking, Han Jin quickly waved his hands: "Your Highness still has a lot..."

But she didn't say any more about the following words, but her eyes were full of light, Han Yan's pupils shrank slightly, and then she looked at the copper coins in the box——

Those copper coins were a little rough, and their fineness looked uneven - I vaguely felt as if I had guessed something.

After Han Jin retreated, Han Yan felt much relieved. If Liu Che really found a melting pot where coins can be minted in the bandit's den, then their immediate predicament could be relieved.

Wei Zifu came out in men's clothes, with a sword on his waist and a plain fan in his hand. He walked up to Han Yan with his head held high and his chest held high, and spun around twice.

Han Yan laughed: "Miss Wei..."

Wei Zifu closed his fan in a snap, pointed at Han Yan and said, "Nonsense, my son is obviously a man, this is Zhilan Yushu!"

Han Yan choked, paused for a while before nodding: "Mr. Wei is polite."

Wei Zifu bowed his hands to him in a decent manner, walked around the spot for two more times, then looked at the girls in Tanxiang and blinked their eyes, showing a teasing look.

The girls couldn't help laughing, and Wei Zifu put away his fan embarrassingly: "Isn't it good-looking? People from those aristocratic families are all dressed up like this. I thought it looked so good-looking. You look like I am a fool."

Han Yan shook her head: "What are you doing, Mr. Wei?"

Wei Zifu glanced at him speechlessly: "Of course I'm following you."

Before Han Yan could open her mouth, she said again: "Do you think those people are easy to deal with? If I don't follow, you might be counted against..."

Being underestimated by Wei Zifu, Han Yan was very helpless, but after all she felt that it was inappropriate for a woman to go out and about in Fengyue, so she politely dissuaded her a few words.

Wei Zifu sneered: "You will know when you arrive, the guests of this Fengyue place are not just men."

Han Yan paused, thinking of the female alchemist who tried to rob him in the street, she couldn't help but be silent. The world of this alchemist is really far from the world. There is no defense between men and women, and women don't need to abide by the extra rules of the world. On the contrary, women from ordinary families live more happily.

The argument was indisputable, but at the end of the day, the two still went out together, the carriage was changed in a small town, and it was not up to standard, so the two had no choice but to ride a horse, and there were few pedestrians on the road.

Even riding a horse is fine, but the two of them are still very restrained because they are worried about being in the city.

Different from the desolation of the street, Mingyuefang was actually very lively, and there was the sound of silk and bamboo in the distance. Han Yan thought that this kind of place could only be lively at night, but she never thought that at this time, the crowds would come like a cloud.

Wei Zifu saw his expression was different, so he couldn't help smiling: "This Jiaodong Mountain is far away from the emperor, and there are many alchemists gathered. The way of doing things is already very different from Chang'an. I'm afraid you will see more in the future."

Han Yan was silent, and there was only one word in her mind, it was really degrading to be promiscuous in the daytime.

Suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes behind them, and the two looked over together, only to see three or five white horses galloping towards them from a distance.

A group of people laughed loudly, as if they had encountered something interesting, Han Yan frowned, these people were really rude.

A middle-aged woman came out of Mingyue Square, her figure was very slim, but her face was covered with heavy makeup, she couldn't see her original appearance, she was not angry when she saw the signboard smashed, she greeted a few people to enter the square with a smile .

"Okay, don't think about worrying about the country and the people now, go in and see what kind of people are invited."

After Wei Zifu finished speaking, he got off the horse and reached out to help Han Yan. Han Yan looked embarrassed, looking at Wei Zifu, he really didn't know how to deal with it. He had never been taken care of by a woman like this.

Wei Zifu shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Master, I am your bodyguard, why are you being polite to me?"

Even though it was like this on the surface, Han Yan still couldn't get over the hurdle of intimacy between men and women in her heart, so she just said, "Stay away."

Wei Zifu pretended to shake his head and sighed: "My lord, do you dislike the villain and serve him?"

Han Yan pretended not to hear, but in her heart she felt that her personality was really likable, making people want to get close to her, no wonder Liu Che liked her.

Mingyuefang is indeed very lively, and it is unexpectedly large. As far as the eye can see, it almost reaches the scope of the palace. It is divided into several parts, some are singing and dancing, some are laughing and playing, and the relationship between each other There was no disturbance in the room, and although he could see the chaotic scene, he couldn't hear many obscenities.

Seeing his surprised expression, Wei Zifu sighed in his heart, thinking that this person from Chang'an must be a bumpkin, so he explained: "It's just using some ordinary methods and making some soundproof formations. This Mingyuefang The masters behind should be members of several big families, so it doesn't take much effort to get this."

This thing is pretty good, if we can set up such a magic circle in Liu Che's study...

"I'll do it for you when I go back. It's just that my technique is not as good as Master's. He's now... wait a minute, that expert will be here in a few days. When the time comes, it's more important to ask an expert to do it than me, a half-bad guy." There are many spectrums."

Wei Zifu was so understanding that Han Yan, who didn't know how to speak, was slightly taken aback, and her eyes couldn't help showing a little gratitude.

Wei Zifu waved his hand: "It's good that you don't be so polite with me in the future, we are both grasshoppers on the same rope, do you still have to separate us?"

Han Yan was taken aback, and Wei Zifu said that he had indeed kept the etiquette, but it was just a habit, and he didn't know how to change it for a while, but Wei Zifu left the conversation and walked forward, Han Yan Yan had no choice but to put this topic aside temporarily and followed.

Wei Zifu suddenly stopped in his tracks, stared at the stairs in front of him carefully for a few moments, stretched out his hand to stop him, and taunted him with a twitch: "Someone is going to give us a bad blow!"
