Talk about the world of mortals in detail
Chapter 739 As expected
It can be said that Tan Yuanshang is a figure destined to leave a strong mark in history books.
In comparison, although the Moh family is also a big family and plays a decisive role in Mingzhou, it is at most recorded in the local annals. Looking at the whole Dayong, it is just an ordinary passerby in history.
Therefore, whether it was Mo Yiming who was surprised that an old friend could visit, or everyone else in the Mo family, they all valued the arrival of the legendary figure Tan Yuanshang, and were even a little excited.
The place where guests are being entertained is not a living room, but the place where Mo Yiming played chess just now. Before the chessboard was removed, Tan Yuanshang could not wait to invite Tan Yuanshang to sit down.
The Mo family could clearly feel that the old man was excited when he spoke.
"I am really overjoyed that Mr. Tan is here. You came at the right time. I just happened to come up with a wonderful dish, which is only available in Dragon Palace!"
Tan Yuanshang had just sat down, and his eyes returned from the chessboard to Mo Yiming, showing interest.
"To be honest, I heard about it on the road when Tan came here, and I just wanted to see it!"
"Hahahaha, it's just right. Fortunately, there is the last bit of fresh ingredients. Congxian, hurry up and prepare it in the kitchen for Mr. Tan to taste it. Although he is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, he has never tasted the delicacies of the Dragon Palace!"
Mo Yiming was like a child who had a treasure of his own. When a friend suddenly arrived, he couldn't wait to share the joy with his friend.
Tan Yuanshang was also very curious about the so-called Dragon Palace delicacies, but making delicacies takes time, so the two naturally chatted about other things.
"Food Tan is also very much looking forward to it, but speaking of it, there is another thing that Tan is also very curious about. I wonder if Brother Mo knows about this strange book?"
It is self-evident that Tan Yuanshang is most concerned about it. The old servant next to him took out a book and placed it next to the chessboard on the table. It was "Four Seas, Mountains and Rivers"!
Mo Yiming and the people around him looked at the books on the table. The old man nodded with a smile, and then spoke with some emotion in his tone.
"I received a letter from Mr. Lu some time ago, saying that this book has been completed. Now it seems that it is indeed the case. This "A Chronicle of Four Seas, Mountains and Rivers" can be said to be Mr. Lu's half-life effort."
"Records of Mountains and Rivers of the Four Seas" is hard to find in Chengtian Mansion, and almost no one has seen it in Mingzhou City today. Of course, the Mo family is an exception, because they have seen some of the original manuscripts.
Hearing Mo Yiming's words, Tan Yuanshang's eyes flashed.
"Brother Mo, could it be that the old man who had a long sleep in the book was you?"
"Hahahaha. I don't need to hide anything in front of Mr. Tan, it is indeed me!"
Mo Yiming reached out and took the first volume of "Four Seas, Mountains and Rivers", and after just flipping through a few pages, some vague memories became clear with the contents of the book.
"Master Lu has great literary talents and his writing is really good."
Before Tan Yuanshang could ask, Mo Yiming continued.
"That year was my ninetieth birthday. Mr. Lu would be the magistrate of Mingzhou. He was sitting at the same table with me, having a drunken dream. When he woke up, he was in the clouds."
Mo Yiming did not mention Yi Abao, but his true feelings were indeed revealed at this moment. He may not be able to remember all the details, but there are some impressive places that he will never forget.
Even though Tan Yuanshang had already read "Four Seas, Mountains and Rivers", and even heard some of it from Kaiyang Shuishen, he still couldn't help but be a little shocked when he heard Mo Yiming's personal account of the "Long Dream".
Of course Mr. Mo couldn't tell everything in detail, but even if he just picked out those unforgettable moments in his memory, it was enough to shock Tan Yuanshang and the people around him.
In the middle of the chat, there seemed to be a scent of fragrance wafting over, and the voice of the Mo family's servant could be heard over there.
"Master, the fish soup is ready!"
Mo Yiming's face suddenly became even more happy.
"Come on, come on, bring it over quickly!"
When the fish soup arrived, it was white, greasy, and rich in fragrance. There wasn't much fish meat, and it only occupied a small part of the soup basin. Just smelling the fragrance made people want to eat.
The soup was put down, and small bowls, spoons, chopsticks and other items arrived. Mo Yiming personally scooped out the fish soup and meat for Tan Yuanshang.
"Try it, Mr. Tan. I am proud to have this soup. As the immortals say, although Dragon Palace's food is good, it seems cold, and this soup is really three points better than Dragon Palace's!"
"Thank you!"
Tan Yuanshang took the bowls and chopsticks and no longer refused, savoring this rare delicacy. When entering the water, he could only feel the rich and delicious fragrance.
While the Mo family was entertaining Tan Yuanshang, the servant of the Tan family who left the carriage was walking alone in Mingzhou City. He walked through some of the main streets and alleys in Mingzhou and also walked around the area of the Mo family.
Later that day, when the sky was getting a little dark, the servant and guard who had been separated from Tan Yuanshang and his entourage for a long time came in from the backyard of the Mo family with a flash of Qing Kung Fu, and appeared in the dining hall of the Mo family a moment later.
Of course, this person definitely didn't come to be a thief, because there were already people waiting inside the wall at this moment, including the old servants around Tan Yuanshang and people from the Mo family.
As soon as the visitor entered the wall, he first greeted the two martial arts masters of Mo Mansion, and then looked at the waiting old servant.
"Brother, I was caught by the master!"
"Don't worry, we'll talk about it after we meet the master!"
The old servant took his brother and the people of the Mo family to the dining hall of the Mo family, which was also where the Mo family hosted a dinner for Tan Yuanshang.
In front of everyone present, the returning guard told Tan Yuanshang and the Mo family clearly what they had seen without hiding anything.
"There are indeed Ouchi spies in Mingzhou City. Although there are not many, Menghai Tower must have been paying attention to it for a long time. It is estimated that the emperor also has his own guesses about some contents in "Four Seas, Mountains and Rivers"."
Hearing the words of the Tan family guard, Mo Congxian showed some worry on his face.
"There are so many people watching the bustling Menghai Tower. Could it be that there is a mistake? The emperor can still send people to Mingzhou for the absurd dream mentioned in the book."
The guard who came back smiled.
"What Mr. Mo said is natural and reasonable, but I will never be wrong. The people around the emperor have had similar bad habits for decades. Except for a few capable people, the rest can't let go of their figures to pretend to be ordinary people, or maybe It’s because you don’t know enough and you just pretend to be specious!”
Another guard also said.
"Third brother can't be wrong. Those people's martial arts methods are relatively easy to identify. They are nothing more than a few internal secrets. It is impossible for outsiders to learn them. Therefore, there are several strong muscles and bones that are different from ordinary martial arts. It’s not obvious.”
The old servant beside Tan Yuanshang also nodded slightly, acknowledging what his two brothers said.
Mo Yiming didn't seem worried when he was sitting there, but Mo Congxian was a little worried, and Mo Xiaorong also frowned.
"It's a pity that brother is not here."
"Why did you alert your elder brother? When he should know, he will naturally know."
Mo Yiming said this in a very calm tone. Tan Yuanshang looked to his side and smiled.
"Brother Mo is quite calm."
"I'm over a hundred years old, so there's nothing I can't see. Besides, as Mr. Tan said, the Holy One loves "The Chronicles of Four Seas, Mountains and Rivers", so there's nothing wrong with sending someone to visit the place where the stories in the book originated."
Tan Yuanshang nodded, but still sighed.
"It would be fine if that's all. Today, people are not stupid, but their vision and mind are still a bit narrow. Being an emperor for more than 20 years may be better, but it is limited."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Mo family was shocked. Mo Congxian and Mo Xiaorong looked at Tan Yuanshang with wide eyes, and even Mo Yiming looked surprised.
"Mr. Tan, how can you make irresponsible remarks about Your Majesty?"
"Hahahahahaha. Is there someone here who will report on Tan?"
How could the Mo family dare to reply? Only Mo Yiming shook his head helplessly, while Tan Yuanshang's smile became even wider, and he couldn't help but sigh a few times after laughing.
In the world of Dayong, and even in the surrounding foreign countries, there are definitely not many people who dare to talk about the emperor like this, and Tan Yuanchang is one of them.
While sighing, Tan Yuanshang looked at the table full of wine and food, and also looked at the "History of Four Seas, Mountains and Rivers" placed on the table.
"Brother Mo, there is no need to worry too much. The real disaster is not yours, but Mr. Lu's."
"Um?"
Mo Yiming frowned, the Mo family members on the side looked puzzled, and the old servant of the Tan family on the other side suddenly spoke.
"Master, do you need to control the two master guards in Mingzhou City?"
Tan Yuanshang sighed and shook his head.
"No need. If you can't find the third person, then you have to go back to the capital. Maybe you will have arrived in the capital by now. It's already too late. If your guess is right, Mr. Lu may be in trouble."
Tan Yuanshang didn't even need to really know what conversations Lu Haixian had had with the emperor. He could make a rough guess just based on his understanding of the emperor and what he already knew.
Of course, Tan Yuanshang also believed that Lu Haixian, as a veteran minister in the DPRK, could not have no sense of politics. Even when talking to the emperor, he would be careful and leave himself some room.
It's just that what the emperor wants is never whether there is room for it in his words, only whether it can satisfy his expectations.
"Let Tan guess what crime Mr. Lu will be sent to jail for."
Tan Yuanshang, an old man over a hundred years old, expressed his speculation with a calm face at the moment when the Mo family next to him was generally uneasy.
"Maybe he's deceiving you. After all, this excuse is easier to use."
——
As Tan Yuanshang expected, the emperor was both angry and very excited after receiving reports from people who had returned from Mingzhou.
What makes Lu Haixian angry is that he didn't tell the truth, at least not completely. The dream about a year is very likely to be true. From the perspective of the emperor, this can be regarded as a crime of deceiving the emperor.
The same is true for exciting places. The dream that lasts for a year may be true, and many mysterious things may be true. At least they are not all false. At least the immortal who takes people on a journey in the dream should exist.
No, it shouldn’t be, immortals must exist!
There was not just one person who had the dream, but two. One was the old Mohist man from Mingzhou, and the other was Lu Haixian himself.
Lu Haixian didn't make everything clear, concealed the fairy's traces, and didn't report it. What else could it be if he wasn't deceiving the emperor?
Almost at the same moment that Tan Yuanshang expressed his speculation in the Lu family, a group of forbidden troops arrived in front of a certain residence in Chengtian Mansion holding torches.
This large mansion was once the property of the Tan family. When it was hard to find a copy of "Four Seas, Mountains and Rivers" in the capital, it was specially given to Lu Haixian by the emperor.
But tonight, the Imperial Guards in front of the mansion were obviously coming with bad intentions, and the leader came to knock on the door late at night.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang."
The concierge of the Lu Mansion rubbed his eyes and opened the door. He was startled when he saw the Forbidden Army holding torches outside.
"This, Master Jun. This is the Lu Mansion. What do you want?"
The leader of the forbidden army sneered.
"The one who is coming is the Lu Mansion. Lu Haixian, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, deceived the emperor and ignored the emperor. On the order of the emperor, he came to capture him. Let me go in and capture the person——"
"Hey, hey, master——"
Amid the exclamations of the concierge and the footsteps of the sergeants outside, the crowd poured into the Lu Mansion.
Lu Haixian and his wife had just been awakened from their sleep by the movement outside, and they had no time to react.
The door was kicked open with a bang, and the old woman screamed in fright.
