It's the weekend, so... around one or two o'clock in the morning, I'll post one more chapter
----------Dividing Line----------In Jiangning Wuyi Alley, a young man and woman were sitting outside a street food stall with several snacks in front of them.
Yunzheng smiled and said: "Wu Yu, I heard that your snacks in Guangzhou are mostly sweets. I guess you also like sweets, so I bought you these Jinling Xiao Long Bao. You can try it..."
Nangong Wuyu wondered: "What does sweets have to do with Xiao Long Bao? Aren't Xiao Long Bao salty?"
Yunzheng smiled and took one for her and said: "The taste in Nanjing is basically sweet and salty. The typical thing is that there is also sugar in the filling of the buns, so this Jinling Xiaolongbao is different from other places."
Nangong Wuyu looked at the Xiao Long Bao in front of him and was about to eat it, but found that Yun Zheng was just looking at him and had no intention of eating it. He couldn't help but blush and said, "Why don't you eat it yourself?"
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled slightly: "I don't really like sweets, especially those that taste too sweet."
Nangong Wuyu knew in his heart that he must have specially bought this Xiaolongbao for himself to take care of his own taste. He felt a little grateful in his heart, but he said: "If you don't eat it yourself, how do you know the difference between this Jinling Xiaolongbao and other places?
Didn't you just trick me casually?"
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "These days, it's really hard to be a good person. Just because I don't like to eat doesn't mean I can't eat it. Okay, let me tell you, so that you don't look like you're afraid that I'll harm you... This is a snack."
Long Bao, the most important thing is the soup. When making it, the soup must be condensed into a transparent solid colloid. Chop it up and mix it in. Once the steam is steamed, it will completely turn into a soup. The skin of the steamed bun is as thin as paper. Lift it up.
Carefully take it out without being broken, put it in a vinegar bowl, aim it at the top and suck it, and the delicious soup will go into your stomach. But don't rush, otherwise it will burn, and then slowly enjoy the contents.
You didn’t put anything in the jealous bowl and started eating it. Obviously you don’t understand this routine, hehe.”
Nangong Wuyu rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "I want you to take care of it!" She turned her head and stopped looking at him, but she started eating as he said.
Yun Zheng saw her eating delicately and felt funny in his heart. This girl has to pay attention to her manners even when eating. It's really tiring. He smiled and picked up the beef pot stickers he bought for himself. He opened his mouth and bit it. He was totally different from other nobles.
He looks like a young man. Every time he takes a bite, he picks up the small jug next to him and takes a sip of wine. It's extremely satisfying.
The two of them were eating. Yun Zheng raised his head and saw a half-year-old child of eleven or twelve years old looking towards the food stall. His eyes were full of hope. Yun Zheng saw that although his clothes looked clean and tidy, upon closer inspection, they were...
There were a few stitches, so I thought it was a kid from a poor family who wanted to come and see the delicious food. I thought about it and was about to ask the store owner to bring some more pot stickers to the young man. Unexpectedly, the young man glanced at the crowd outside the stall.
Hope suddenly dimmed, and I lowered my head in a daze.
Just when Yun Zheng was wondering, the young man raised his head again, picked up a wooden board next to him, took it, and borrowed a small piece of black charcoal from the grilled fish stall next to him, and wrote something on the wooden board.
Yun Zheng looked at the young man strangely, wondering what the child was doing. Nangong Wuyu, who was opposite him, saw that he was suddenly staring unmoving, and while looking in the direction he was looking, he asked: "What are you looking at, so lost in thought?
Then he laughed: "I thought our Mr. Yun had fallen in love with another girl, but it turned out to be a child."
Yun Zheng didn't smile, but was a little confused, saying: "Look at this kid's face, he must have not eaten for at least two days. He looked at this stall for a while. I thought he didn't have money to buy it. I just planned to buy it."
I gave him some to satisfy his hunger, but he took a wooden board and started writing and drawing with a piece of charcoal."
Nangong Wuyu looked at the young man and saw that his features were pretty but his complexion was a little yellow and gloomy. He couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic and said, "Maybe he wants to forget that he is too hungry, so he is looking for something to do?"
Just as Yun Zheng was about to speak, he heard Nangong Wuyu turn around and call to the store: "Shop, help us get four pot stickers and take them away." Then he said to Yun Zheng: "This child is so pitiful, but he is so sensible...anyway
I've finished eating too, I'm going to give him something to eat." Without waiting for Yunzheng's agreement, he went to the store to receive the pot stickers and looked over to the young man.
Yunzheng smiled mockingly. If your sympathy overflows, I will spend money. Fortunately, there is no refugee group, otherwise my clothes will be stripped... He stood up, went to the store to pay the bill, and headed over there.
Go
When he arrived in front of the young man, he realized that Nangong Wuyu was holding a pot sticker in his hand, but he hadn't handed it over yet. Instead, he looked at the words written by the child on the board with a melancholy expression. Yun Zheng originally thought that the child was just drawing casually, but unexpectedly
But he was writing stroke by stroke, and he couldn't help but wonder. This child's clothes were patched, and he must have been from a poor family, but he could actually write... Then he looked towards the wooden board.
"My son Yuze, the son of the Chao family in Shuzhong, because his father was framed and his family was in ruins, he and his sister had no choice but to come to Jiangning to seek refuge with relatives and friends. However, there was an unexpected storm. The boy and his sister were separated here at noon the day before yesterday. There is still no trace of my sister.
The whereabouts... If anyone knows about it or can find it on my behalf, I will sell myself as a slave for three years to repay my kindness..."
Nangong Wuyu turned to Yunzheng and said, "Shall we help him?"
Yunzheng nodded, looked at Nangong Wuyu, and said to the young man: "Brother Chao Yuze, it's not enough for you to write like this, so that others won't know what your sister looks like. If you can't draw portraits, you should at least draw
Write down her characteristics so that others can pay attention to you."
Chao Yuze looked at the young man and woman in front of him, nodded gratefully, and added a line of words on the wooden board: "Because my father is riding a crane, my sister is dressed in plain silk, and has a bamboo wristband on her right hand with a silver bell on it."
…”
Nangong Wuyu thought for a while and hesitated: "Yun...Zheng, I think he just put up a sign here, I'm afraid the effect will not be good, why don't we think of other ways?"
Yun Zheng did not refuse and immediately said: "It's easy to handle. I'll just ask him to go to the governor's Yamen to find my uncle. Now Jiangsu has lost three important people. My uncle, the imperial envoy, can still talk to him. He can find someone missing in the city."
As a young girl, all she needs to do is give orders to Jiangning Mansion, what do you think?"
Nangong Wuyu naturally agreed, so Yunzheng said to Chao Yuze: "Brother Chao, do you know how to get to the Jiangsu Governor's Mansion?"
Chao Yuze nodded: "When my sister and I came to Jiangning, we passed by the governor's Yamen. I knew where to go."
Yun Zheng hummed and said: "Then you go to the governor's Yamen now and ask for the imperial envoy, Mr. Yun Dai. If anyone asks, just say that his nephew Yun Zheng asked you to go. When you see him, you will
No need to say anything else, just show him this sign."
Chao Yuze was startled and hesitated: "Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy...will he see me?"
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Although Mr. Yun is very strict with corrupt officials, he is very kind to ordinary people. Besides, you are here to ask him to help you find your sister. Are you afraid of the imperial envoy?"
Don’t you care about your sister?”
When Chao Yuze heard that Yun Zheng doubted him, he immediately puffed up his chest: "I'm not afraid, I'll go find Mr. Yun right now, I will definitely find my sister!" He said, picked up the wooden sign, turned around and ran away.
Yunzheng and Nangong Wuyu looked at each other and smiled. Nangong Wuyu said: "I originally planned to ask Sister Wuqing for help, but I didn't want to... But if Mr. Yun is willing to let Jiangning Mansion come forward, it will indeed be a better choice.
"
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "That's natural. Doing these things is still the official's strengths after all... Oops, that's not good!"
Nangong Wuyu was startled: "What? What's wrong?"
Yun Zheng said: "I asked that kid to go to my uncle, but he dressed like this to go to the governor's office. I'm afraid the guards and porters didn't believe that I asked him to go."
Nangong Wuyu immediately understood. It is said that the King of Hell is easy to meet but the kid is difficult to deal with. This child still has patches on his clothes. He does not look like a person who can interact with a noble son like Yun Zheng, so he ran away so rashly.
The governor's yamen was afraid that those "little devils" might beat him out with a stick, so he suddenly asked in a panic: "What should I do?"
Yun Zheng said: "He can't go far yet. Let's catch up. I'll give him a token... If not, it won't delay much if I go with him."
Nangong Wuyu nodded, and the two of them immediately ran in the direction Chao Yuze left.
After passing through Wuyi Lane and entering an unknown alley, Yunzheng and Nangong Wuyu saw Chao Yuze trotting all the way in the distance. They sped up and chased after him. Just as Yunzheng was about to shout to Chao Yuze to stay, suddenly
I found that a man in a cloak not far from Chao Yuze suddenly pulled out a long sword from behind, spread out his steps and swept towards Chao Yuze. The long sword was also ready to go.
There was no one else in front of Chao Yuze, so the man in the cloak could only target Chao Yuze! Yunzheng's heart tightened, and he grabbed a handful of soybeans that were drying outside, and shot them out, shouting angrily: "
How dare you, rat!"
Nangong Wuyu had also noticed that something was wrong with the situation. Seeing Yun Zheng take action, he was not surprised and quickly pulled out a soft sword from his waist and followed Yun Zheng.
Chao Yuze was running when he suddenly saw a man in a cloak running towards him with a sword drawn. He was startled and turned around subconsciously. When he heard Yun Zheng yelling angrily, he felt at a loss and was a little stunned.
After being stunned for a moment, perhaps because he felt that Yun Zheng and Nangong Wuyu didn't look like they would harm him, he finally ran towards them. Even in such an emergency, he was not willing to throw away the wooden sign in his hand.
The cloaked man was originally closer to Chao Yuze than Yun Zheng and the other two, and Chao Yuze was stunned for a moment, and the distance became even closer. Just as he was about to strike with the sword, he found that Yun Zheng had withdrawn his hand.
The handful of soybeans he shot out has already hit his eyes. Judging from the noise from this handful of soybeans, if he were hit by it, he would definitely be covered in blood. He had no choice but to withdraw his sword power and use a spring flower move to wipe out all the soybeans in front of him.
minced
Yun Zheng was still in a hurry with this handful of soybeans. He didn't use much internal energy in the first place, but it looked very powerful. In fact, the effect was not as powerful as the cloaked man expected, so naturally he couldn't stop the sword. , had already been broken into pieces, but he originally only planned to surround Wei and rescue Zhao, and was not so arrogant as to think that this handful of soybeans could hurt that person. So when he saw the cloaked man, he had to wave his sword to protect himself, and immediately took the lead and killed Chao Yuze. He pulled him aside and asked urgently: "Brother Chao, are you okay?"
Chao Yuze's face turned pale, and he grasped the wooden sign in his hand tightly with both hands. Although his voice was trembling, he said firmly: "I'm fine, thank you, Brother Baiyi."
Yunzheng was stunned. This title was interesting, but he was too lazy to care about it. He just nodded and looked towards Nangong Wuyu.
Nangong Wuyu has already fought with the man in the cloak. Both of them are swordsmen, and their moves are quite beautiful. However, Master Yun Zheng's sword is still cold when he draws it, and he can tell at a glance that the swordsmanship of the cloaked man is not the same. He is not very powerful, he can only be considered a second-rate master at most. Nangong Wuyu will definitely be able to defeat him with ten more moves. With this judgment, he was not in a hurry to help, but turned to Chao Yuze and asked: "Little brother, what are you doing?" Have you ever seen this man? Do you have any grudge against him?"
Chao Yuze shook his head and said: "I have never seen him." I have never seen him, so of course there is no room for enmity.
Yun Zheng frowned. Since he didn't know him at all, why did he want to kill Chao Yuze? He was confused at that moment and shouted to Nangong Wuyu: "Wu Yu, please be merciful, you must live!"
Nangong Wuyu heard Yun Zheng's call and responded: "I know, why do you still need to say it?" Determined to prove his martial arts skills in front of Yun Zheng, he rushed out with his sword and knocked the cloaked man's long sword away with a clang. , he pushed it forward, the tip of the sword was pointed at his throat, and said: "Tell me, why do you want to kill this child!"
When Yunzheng saw it, he also pulled Chao Yuze forward.
Not only did the man in the cloak not panic, but he said carelessly: "When Guxin Pavilion is doing business, who should let outsiders meddle in its own affairs? If you kill me, you will become my enemy in Guxin Pavilion. Hum, you have to think about it first."
When Nangong Wuyu heard this, he was immediately startled. Why did this matter involve Guxin Pavilion? Guxin Pavilion was an ally who was about to join forces at the moment... But why did they want to kill this child?
Yun Zheng also heard this, glanced at the cloaked man in front of him, and suddenly asked: "Are you from Guxin Pavilion?"
The man in the cloak said proudly: "That's natural."
Yun Zheng smiled slightly: "Brother Mei Wu is doing well recently. I haven't seen him for a long time, but I miss him strangely."
The man in the cloak was slightly startled, glanced at Yunzheng, and said unnaturally: "Well, it's pretty good."
Yunzheng chuckled and suddenly said: "There is no moon in the water in the Dongting."
The man in the cloak was startled and looked at Yunzheng with a baffled look.
Yun Zheng sneered: "Why, you don't even know Guxin Pavilion's secret code, and you dare to pretend to be someone from Guxin Pavilion?"
The man in the cloak murmured: "Of course I know, I just forgot about it."
Yun Zheng was extremely angry and laughed back: "I see, why don't I tell you... I am lonely in the rain!" As he said this, he suddenly reached out his hand without any warning, grabbed the cloaked man's right shoulder, and said coldly : "There is a set of capture techniques in the Jianghu, called Tianshan Plum-breaking Hands. There are some interesting tricks in it that can separate muscles and bones. Do you want to see it?"
When the man in the cloak was discovered pretending to be Gu Xin Pavilion, he already knew that he was in big trouble. And when he saw that when Yun Zheng grabbed his right shoulder just now, his palm turned into a plum blossom shape, he immediately knew that what he said was true. I'm afraid
I really learned how to fold plum blossoms in Tianshan Mountain. I couldn’t help but be shocked. I said, "How can you do plum blossom folding in Tianshan Mountain!"
Yun Zheng frowned: "I am asking you questions now. When will you be nagging me?" He immediately used 20% of the strength in his hands to teach him a lesson.
The man in the cloak felt that the "claw" on his shoulder suddenly became hot, so hot that he couldn't help but run away, but he couldn't escape. The "claw" was like an iron hoop, but it was clasped in the most unbearable way.
Where I tried hard, let alone escaping, I couldn't do it even with a little bit of force, and I suddenly screamed in pain.
Yun Zheng curled his lips and said, "You only have 20% of your power, and you have become like this. If I had used 50% of my power, you would still be spitting out your tongue. Hurry up and tell me honestly why you want to kill this child."
?”
The man in the cloak shouted: "Let go first, let go first, there is something easy to say, there is something easy to say!"
Yun Zheng said: "It's impossible to let go", but he took back his strength and said: "Say"
When the man in the cloak saw that Yun Zheng no longer pinched himself, he took a few breaths and regained some momentum. He said with a serious face: "Don't be proud. Although I don't know the password of Gu Xin Pavilion, my master and Gu Xin Pavilion are very close."
Yuanyuan, if you offend my master, it means you have offended Guxin Pavilion... I advise you not to meddle in this business. We all do our own things, and no one can hinder the other. Isn't that good?"
Yunzheng glanced at him coldly and said: "I only know Mei Wu in Guxinge, but just looking at him alone, I don't believe that Guxinge would do such a shameless thing...
