Chapter 353 Fire in July, Weiyang in August

I heard someone inside say, "Damn it, why don't you come in yet?"

My head heated up and I pushed the door open, but I saw Zhang Youqian and Xiaoyao sitting on the bed, not knowing what I was doing. I felt excited and woke up most of the wine. I said a little embarrassedly, why are you here? Where is Ruonan?

Zhang Youqian said, your Master Xu thought the room was dirty and messy, so he changed the room with us. Why? You want to have an irresponsible passion while you are drunk?

I told her where I was, but I just discussed some things with her.

Wumei Gui suddenly said, and he caught another one. I have already caught six of them. You two will definitely lose.

The face-parse monster said, "You are so unreasonable." This person is obviously on my bed, so what you caught is not counting."

I'll ask you what you are doing?

Zhang Youqian smiled and said we are catching fleas in the competition. Do you want to come together?

I felt chills in my heart and waved my hands. Forget it, my mind is low and I can't do such noble and meaningful things. You guys continue, I'll go out for some breath. After that, I walked out of the cabin and came to the deck.

The warship was flowing up the Yangtze River, and the mountains in the distance were like sleeping dragons, with shadows and endless shadows. To the west, a red star was extremely shining and gradually falling, which was the second of the seven constellations of the Canglong among the twenty-eight constellations (note).

The poem says: The fire flows in July, the August is in the morning, and the September is given clothes.

In late summer and early autumn, the weather gradually became colder, and the wind on both sides of the straits came to his face, with a sense of coldness. The river water slapped on the side of the boat, splashing water. The two sides were pitch black, and most of the navy officers and soldiers on the boat had fallen asleep except for the patrolers. The sound of autumn insects chirping came from their ears, making the whole night look so quiet.

This is about the only rare moment of peace recently.

From being forced to walk around the world by the West Gate to being a six-door job, I became a wanted criminal in the court in a blink of an eye. The experience in the past two years has been more than in the Thieves' Sect for more than ten years. I, a reckless boy who doesn't understand the world, has been struggling in the world and gradually become what I am today. I can't help but sigh.

The sound of Zhang Youqian's footsteps came from behind him, and he also came to the deck and stood side by side with me.

I asked, why don’t you compare?

Zhang Youqian smiled bitterly, I have lost 100 taels of silver than these two live treasures. If I want to compare, I guess I have lost my underwear, so I can't get some breath.

I looked at him and said, "Brother, I have implicated you."

Zhang Youqian said unhappily, what are you talking about? I, Zhang Youqian, have been in the world for decades, and I am proud of only two things. One of them is that I met you. Lao Su, before I met you, I was just a playboy in the capital. Although I was a little angry when I first met you, I have recognized you as my brother from the bottom of my heart for the past two years. As for the Jianghu Department, the Six Gates, it is just a cloud, and I didn't take it to my heart.

I wondered, another thing of pride?

Zhang Youqian laughed. Of course, this young master has mastered his peerless martial arts! Of course, practicing martial arts was also a coincidence. If I had not met a cheap master who loved money, I would not have achieved what I have today.

I was not so angry that you are just a Tongxiang Realm. Nowadays, there are many masters in the world, and the Tongxiang is everywhere, and it is no longer as valuable as it used to be.

Zhang Youqian said, why do I sound a little sour? Now that your realm has fallen to Zhixuan, I didn’t expect that my knowledge will fall down. Oh, it’s so sad. But don’t worry, when you find the Dragon Slaying Formation, your martial arts will be expected to recover, but at that time, maybe I have already jumped out of the three realms and become a master.

I said, I wish you success.

Zhang Youqian sighed again and said, "I really didn't expect that we would go to this point." The reason why I came to Six Gates was that at first I just wanted to escape Zhang Baiwan, and I just wanted to take the opportunity to become famous in the world and turn this world upside down. Unexpectedly, we became fugitives, haha!

I asked, do you regret it?

I regret it. I have thought it through the past few days. We have gone through the way. God asked us to take this path. Isn’t it the underworld? The two brothers joined forces to imitate Qin Sanguan and turned the situation there upside down! Zhang Youqian slapped his head and said, Oh, by the way, I forgot that you are also a person in the underworld. I just pretend that I didn’t say this!

I am just right. Since I remember, I have been proud of being a Ming person. As for the underworld, it is just a symbol for me. You are right. If we brothers come to this world, we can't live in vain. Since we can't make a name for ourselves, we can just poke a hole in the sky!

Zhang Youqian said, if this is true, wouldn’t he become a sinner who led the underworld to invade the Central Plains?

I was not so angry. I was just an example, understand?

Zhang Youqian grabbed my shoulder and said, "You are right." I have thought about it. Once this matter is over, I will marry a girl in red, then retire to the world and be a rich man with peace of mind. By the way, what are your plans?

I sighed, let’s take one step at a time. Thirty years ago, our ancestor of the Thieves Sect, He Daozi, went out to sea to find Shujian Mountain, and I also wanted to take Ruonan to see it.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Youqian suddenly said, Lao Su, I always feel that something is wrong with someone after the past six months.

I asked, Li Muge?

Zhang Youqian nodded, but I actually doubted him a little.

I remained silent.

Zhang Youqian is a smart person and is not inferior to me at all. He also found that something was strange about this. It seems that I am not alone in having such an idea.

The court disputes have always been a life-and-death battle. Li Muge is a disciple of Xie Shiting. Xie Shiting was forced to commit suicide. Logically speaking, Li Muge would also sink into despair. However, he did not expect that he would become the emperor's most trusted subject by offering jade seals on the Jinshui Bridge. There must be something strange about this.

On that day, Xie Donglai stole the jade seal, and now it is proved that he was the one whom Xie Junyan supported him. Then the jade seal was left among Li Muge's hands, and it must be inseparable from Xie Junyan. An idea has been lingering in my mind. Today, I saw Zhang Youqian say this, so I asked if Xie Shiting was forced to commit suicide, except for refusing to write an edict to succeed the throne? Did Li Muge participate in this?

Zhang Youqian said, it is very likely. Of course, in addition to this, I also heard of one thing. That is, after Li Muge became the emperor's confidant, the Liaodong governor Song Chengliang wrote a letter to retire and return home. After the emperor agreed, Song Chengliang was chased by a woman on his way back to his hometown and was destroyed.

I was surprised, you said Song Chengliang, but the one who was praised by the court as the Zhongyong Marquis for the Jiqing Victory three years ago?

Zhang Youqian said that it is this person.

I remember Li Muge said that when Jiqing's victory was Li Muge's father Jiqing's garrison Li Shouzhong led 300 people to kill 3,000 enemies and died in a fierce battle. However, he was robbed of military merit by the Liaodong governor Song Chengliang. So he asked, although Song Chengliang had retired, his title was still there. The court did not pursue such an accident?

Zhang Youqian said that according to the person who survived by chance, the woman who took action looked very similar to Xie Junyan. I estimated that in terms of time, it should be comparable. By the way, I heard one more thing.

What's up?

Zhang Youqian said that after hearing that the emperor ascended the throne, he had a strange disease, and it was rumored that he would not be long before his death. This time, Li Muge came to Jiangnan, on the surface to inspect silk and salt tea, but in fact, it might be to do another thing for the emperor, that is, to welcome the missing prince back to Beijing.

I was surprised, are you talking about Wu Sanro?

Zhang Youqian said, that's right.
