Chapter 5 Fengxin

The north wind suddenly blew, and heavy snow came.

In an instant, Jinling was like a woman in Jiangnan wearing a wedding dress, quiet, dignified, mysterious and in bud. From north to south, the scales of Xuanwu Lake were stained with cold colors, the sound of the oars of the Qinhuai River tied time, and the pedestrians at the foot of the Cover Zhoushan hurriedly came and went, and the fields in Qingxi were independent in the hazy smoke. Taicheng and Fucheng seemed more reserved and noble with the snow on the capped peaks.

However, Changganli is different!

Changganli is always so lively, with flying wine curtains, noisy hawking, running around and playing children, occasionally there are disputes and harp sounds of pianos that are sometimes far and near.

This is the unique fireworks of Changganli, prosperous and restrained, and full of vitality. So when Xu Shunhua's Qilin car passed through the wind and snow of Zhuquehang and plunged into the streets and alleys of Changganli, it was like going from one world to another.

The undulating cow's hooves stepped on the bluestone road, crisp and crisp like the singing of a fisherman's girl. The wheels squeaked, leaving two winding and shallow marks. People scattered to the sides, but looked at this car that represented identity, status, wealth and class with curiosity.

This is the first four-wheeled ox cart made by Tiangongfang. It took off all kinds of flashy gold and jade decorations that were only for premium, strengthened the body and shock absorption. The appearance was not very outstanding, but it was quite comfortable to ride. Compared with the previous two-wheeled ox cart, it was like a hand tractor replaced with a Mercedes-Benz BMW, and the satisfaction soared.

An Xiulin advocated that "policy is to save money, and rituals are to be frugal." Since the empress Xu Shunhua, there were few silks in the palace, and no gold and jade were worn. The palace lanterns were cut in half and turned off at night. They lacked bright yellow colors. The overall look was gray and very simple. This Qilin car was considered Xu You's filial piety. Otherwise, Xu Shunhua would not have spent millions of dollars to buy such luxury goods.

The car stopped at the door of Xu's house. Xu Shunhua was wearing a regular dress and wearing a cloth shoes. His cloud-like fake bun was inserted into a wooden hairpin made by the emperor. He had a plain face and no makeup, and his appearance was not reduced.

Get off the car first and reach out to help. Xu Shunhua put her wrist and slowly landed on the ground. Two palace maids and twenty guards from the inner palace followed behind and knocked on the door.

Xu You smiled and greeted him. Xu Shunhua looked cold and didn't look at him. He passed by. Xu You took the oil paper umbrella from Qiu Fen, smiled gently at her, and then followed Xu Shunhua, covered the umbrella on his head, and said, "Sister, slow down, the snow is slippery..."

Xu Shunhua glared at him, Xu You quickly shut up, and the two entered the wing room in the backyard. Xu Shunhua turned around and said to the autumnal equinox: "You are guarding the door, no matter what sound you hear, no one is allowed to come in!"

The autumnal equinox was a little worried, and Xu You showed it to him, and closed the door with a bitter face. Before he could do his psychological construction, Xu Shunhua grabbed his ears and twisted them back and forth hard, saying, "Say, what the hell are you doing?"

"Sister, it hurts! It hurts!"

"Ha, you know it hurts too?"

"I'm not a stone man..."

"Dare you still dare to talk back?"

"Okay, okay, sister, please calm down!"

"You can't calm down. Do you honestly tell me if you really want to resign from office and retire?" Xu Shunhua let go, stared at Xu You tightly, and said word by word: "You are so powerful now. I can't guess what you think in your heart, but you must tell me clearly whether it was because of Xie Xiwen's helpless resignation, or do you think it's boring to be this general who is Lao Shi?"

Xu You said softly: "Sister, it's true to resign, but don't worry, you are still in the harem, and only my younger brother can rely on it. A group of wolves are surrounded by evil dogs. Even if it is to protect you, I will not leave Jinling for the time being. When the investigation of the department is over, I will repay my innocence and reinstate my posts. "

Xu Shunhua breathed a sigh of relief, and her body seemed to have lost support, and she collapsed in the chair in an instant. From the beginning of knowing that Xu You resigned from office and wanted to return home, she always tensed her nerves all over her body, because only in this way can she carry the thick mask on her face and prevent everyone from seeing the panic and weakness under the mask.

In the past, she never knew what fear was, but now... she has a baby and lives have meaning. She can't die or lose!

"Okay, you have been leading the army for a long time and are exhausted both physically and mentally. Take this opportunity to adjust your cultivation at home. There is no need to worry about the affairs in the court. Since Xie Xiwen is seeking death, I will help him!"

Xu Shunhua has never been a young woman living in a deep palace and ignorant of the world. She dared to write a letter to scold the prince when Xu was in trouble. Her blood and courage were not inferior to men at all. This sentence that would be lightly described, the murderous aura contained in even overwhelmingly overshadowed the cold wind outside the window.

"Sister must not do anything wrong!"

Xu You was afraid that she would do anything stupid, so he advised: "Although the emperor is very respectful to his sister, the court officials are not so easy to meet. He usually looks at peace and is not because his sister knows the general and never interferes in the affairs of the court. Besides, the master is not a ruthless lord who listens to the women's words. He knew very well that Xie Xiwen did not have a personal grudge with me, but was preparing for the future, so as not to prevent the tyranny of the foreign relatives from being tyrannical and re-enacting the disaster of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Think about it, my only foreign relatives in the dynasty were so afraid of them. If you, the serious queen, ended up personally, the rebound would be beyond everyone's imagination..."

Xu Shunhua was not a fool, and he thought for a little while, agreed with Xu You's statement and said, "So what?"

"So you just pretend that you don't have my younger brother. When you go back to see the master, you will say that my military power is too strong, so it's better to suppress your arrogance. If you don't have any jade, you won't be able to become a weapon. Young people will be frustrated to train their minds..."

"I can't say such hypocritical words. Also, I've taught him a lesson before I came!"

Xu You said helplessly: "Tug your ears?"

"No, I smashed him with the inkstone from the imperial case..."

Xu You said in shock: "Are you injured?"

"Jiang Ziyan blocked his head and smashed his head. The emperor is safe..."

When Xu Shunhua was sent away, Xu You was quite angry. Her sister's temper was an invisible undercurrent vortex. She didn't know when she would drag her into the bottomless abyss, so some things should be resolved as soon as possible, and later they would change.

He picked up the pen and wrote the letter, handed it to Zhan Wenjun, and delivered it to Zuo Qi on the way to the withdrawal of troops through the secret mansion. Then, Qingming left a secret code to contact the Fengmen in several inconspicuous places in Jinling. In the evening, Wu Ji Yusi, a famous Changganli, sent someone to deliver the fish, took off his straw raincoat and hat, which was Duan Jiangbei who had met in Chang'an.

"Do Gonggong Duan always lives in Jinling, or is he just passing by?" Xu You said with a smile.

Duan Jiangbei accompanied me to take care of it and said, "I have no place to live. I happened to have a small problem with the goods of cloth and silk in Jinling five days ago. I was ordered by the sect leader to deal with it. After receiving the general's secret code, why dare not come and wait for inquiries?"

Xu You has not yet figured out Duan Jiangbei's way, but this person cannot be underestimated. The humble words and expressions are just a habitual cover of the business world. The magical illumination technique can secretly see the pride hidden in his bones. In fact, one of the two major worshippers of the Fengmen was not afraid of Xu You, and he put the two in an equal position to interact.

Xu You was a human being in his two lives, and he did not have the deep-rooted class concepts of the indigenous people at all. Slaves and maids are equivalent to cattle and horses. Is this civilization? Equal treatment of people is the basic quality. Duan Jiangbei's mentality is appreciated by Xu You.

"Chang'an's agreement can still be counted?"

"The reason why Fengmen is based in the world depends entirely on the words "faith and righteousness". Even if Fengmen is killed or injured, there is no possibility of breaking the contract!"

"I have resigned. I guess the court will tell the world tomorrow. Don't mention the title of general in the future!"

Duan Jiangbei was not surprised. He obviously knew the result of the court's negotiations in the morning. He showed a sincere expression and said, "There are eight generals in the imperial court for more than a hundred years. Fengmen has only reached a covenant with you. What we respect is not the position of the general, but the person sitting in the position!"

"Okay!" Xu You smiled and said, "I think you think of it. I'll tell you a long story. In a few days, the court may carry out secret troops. I hope the Fengmen can give up this intelligence business and not trade with Tianshidao and anyone close to Tianshidao."

Duan Jiangbei replied without hesitation: "General, don't worry, although Fengmen has been away from him for six days, he will not be in harmony with the Tianshidao. We do business and make money. People call us business and evil, but we also have bottom lines and ethics. Some things are done and some things cannot be done!"

"It's really pleasant to talk about business with Gonggong Duan. I really hope you will see next time!"

Duan Jiangbei bent down slightly and said, "The general opened the golden mouth, and the wind gate will definitely be satisfied!"

Xu You exchanged a few more greetings with Duan Jiangbei and sent him away from the mansion in Qingming. When he returned to the Yushou, Duan Jiangbei ordered the Sizhu to sell the Yushou within three or five days, and all the personnel in the Yushou evacuated, and at the same time activated a brand new contact point. He changed his clothes and makeup, left from the secret passage behind, passed through three strongholds in succession, and confirmed that no one was following him. He quietly entered a luxurious villa in Qingxi. After layers of strict identity verification, he came to the remote small courtyard in the northeast corner and flashed into the main house.

Through the thick curtains, Duan Jiangbei reported on the meeting with Xu You, repeating what Xu You said, without saying a word, including the tone and movements when speaking, they were almost the same.

A sound sounded behind the curtain, with men and women not distinguishing, neutral, young and old, hoarse, saying: "Xu You's goal is not Tianshidao, but six days! Jiangbei, the situation is critical, and I am sending a message to my brothers, all the brothers outside stopped their business, whether they are in negotiation or have made a contract, all the cabinets are closed, the losses and compensation will be calculated later, within two days, the hands are handled, hidden in the water, and then the tide is revealed."

Duan Jiangbei was shocked and said: "Sect Master, isn't this a bit overreacting? Since the Fengmen was established, he has never used Fengshizhizhi..."
