After nightfall, there are light spots far and near, and rivers are like ribbons, extending one by one in the city. Where the light is brighter, the water ribbons also sway crystal clear. Next to the streets where the light is darker, the water light is silent in the darkness.
, only occasionally there are ships with their lights on, slowly rowing past in the field of vision.
The lights inside and outside Sijizhai are brightly lit, and the three buildings hanging from the eaves decorate the street beautifully. On the nearby streets, pedestrians passing by can't help but look over here and pay attention. Inside the building, there is a
There was a lively atmosphere of drinking and drinking. There were both cultural gatherings and performances in the Four Seasons today. The banquet in the building had not stopped at this time, and several popular prostitutes invited from the brothels in the city had already begun to sing lyrics and music on the stage.
After the city of Hangzhou was destroyed, although Fang La had already decided to use this place as the foundation for the founding of the country, he restrained his subordinates. However, in the initial chaos, it is difficult to enumerate what happened to the women who remained in the city. It was originally prosperous.
The prostitution industry was also hit hard, but when soldiers came into the city, they captured men and tortured and killed them in various ways. They could use it on women, but it was always the same kind of thing.
In those early days, there were countless women who either committed suicide after being raped or were killed in the ravage. There were also many virtuous women who died due to humiliation in brothels. But in general, in this
The environment, in this regard, is always much more capable of withstanding blows. After the most chaotic period, some people avoided the chaos, some found backers, and some continued to use their skills. In short, rice
There is always something to eat, and people have to find a way out.
At this time, the number of huākui famous prostitutes in Hangzhou has changed compared to a few months ago. They feel different. They have lost their original spirituality and have more awe and restraint. But as long as you don't go into details, the people who can replace them will be different.
Her own art is always good, and her deep uneasiness can sometimes be seen as pitiful, which has a unique flavor. After a few performances, the atmosphere in the hall has become more and more lively. Some people have written poems.
Appreciation of consecutive interpretation.
Although today's gathering also has the atmosphere of a cultural gathering, in general it is different from a literary gathering in the general sense. Zhu Yanlin is an official, and the people he interacts with in the Fangla court at this time are not the same.
Maybe they were just literati, and some of the warriors they were friends with were actually involved. There couldn't be any overly compulsive rules at the gathering. The host or those who wanted to stand out could only try their best to provoke people to write poems and lyrics.
Interest, and because there were many circles in Fang La's system at this time, at the beginning of the banquet, there were people holding wine glasses and walking around chatting and saying hello. This was also a lively time.
There were many people and it was lively. At a banquet on the second floor, something was going on at this time. The scholar holding the wine glass waved to the person, turned around and walked forward, and was caught off guard and bumped into the man next to him.
"Be careful."
"Why……"
Bang, wow...
What happened was not serious. The scholar did not knock over the table. He just accidentally knocked over the sauce plate next to him and landed on his clothes. He just staggered and stood up, but the sauce that hit his clothes always stuck.
It left traces that would not be wiped off for a while. The scholar spread his hands in distress, and the people next to him said a few words of greetings. Then someone from Sijizhai came over to check, and then under the instructions of the shopkeeper, he arranged a room and clothes for him.
replace.
After greeting the scholar in white who came not far away, he went up to the third floor under the guidance of the boy.
The first and second floors of Sijizhai are now used as banquet halls. There are lights on the third floor, but there are no people. The scholar entered the room where the oil lamp had just been lit, changed his clothes, and then looked outside at the window.
I looked around and saw that the night wind was blowing, and the lamps were swaying, giving me a slight chill.
"...According to Mr. Ning's instructions, the news that you are still safe has been sent back. Your wife and all your family members are safe and sound... The fetus in your belly is also safe..."
If someone is in this room at this time, they may hear subtle conversations going on in this space.
"You didn't alert the government or the army, right?"
"Young Master Ning specifically warned you, so we didn't cause any trouble. Except for Madam, this information was only transmitted to the top line in a single line. However... I think Young Master Ning was a little too cautious..."
"If you can't lose even once, you can only be careful. Liu Dabiao arranged for someone to be around my wife. If those who want to make meritorious deeds know, it will only be our husband and wife who will die... the one above you, and the one above you
Did you bring the words?"
"Getting Mr. Ning out of the city is the first priority, but everything is guided by Mr. Ning's arrangements... It also said that you should remember to take care of yourself."
The person talking secretly here at this time was naturally the secret spy Wenren Buer arranged by Ning Yi and Qin Siyuan at Fangla. The reason why the meeting place was set at Sijizhai this time was that Ning Yi also knew it at this time. Wenren Buer
The identity here is that of the shopkeeper of Ren Sijizhai in Centenary Hall. Ning Yi already distrusts the official power, but Wen Renfuer is obviously a little different. When it comes to handing over the command to him, Ning Yi shook his head.
.
"I don't understand these things. You are an expert. How you want to act is up to you. However, I need to know who is in charge of your next line. If you have a problem, how should I contact him..."
"This is natural..."
The small system that Wen Renfu'er was in was not an official organization directly affiliated with the Six Gates. It was originally a secret investigation department set up to deal with the Liao people. There were not many people dispersed, and it was only used to fill in the gaps on major events.
.Despite this, as the top person in charge of Fang La, Wenren Bushuo still has a lot of things on his hands. Qin Siyuan directly used him to be single-line responsible for Ning Yi in this matter, which is enough to show that the old man is serious about this matter.
Pay attention to.
After exchanging some necessary information, Wenren Buer said: "The most important thing now is to escort Mr. Ning away from here. According to estimates, the situation in Hangzhou will probably become more and more tense in the past month. If we want to
It’s best to leave within half a month. Now that we have a certain understanding of the situation at Ba Dao Camp, if Mr. Ning knows anything..."
"I may not be able to leave for the time being." Ning Yi shook his head, and then paused. "There are many green forest people in Fang La's army. I heard that there are some methods that can make people have a special smell. This smell can be
The trained Gu worms tracked them. They talked about it. I only thought it was a myth at first, but later it turned out that they didn’t seem to be faking it...Does Brother Wenren know about this?"
Wenren Buer's expression changed: "In the Xiangxi area, there is indeed such a method in the art of raising voodoo insects, but that kind of voodoo insects are extremely difficult to raise. They can only be used on one person, and they do not live long... This kind of method
Only used by extremely important people..." He glanced at Ning Yi, then frowned and started thinking.
"It's not that there is no solution. As long as you know who the insect keeper is and kill his insects. Or you know when the insects will die and then wait for an opportunity to escape. There are also many methods that should be able to dilute this kind of tracking technique... These
I will investigate the matter, Mr. Ning, don’t worry.”
"These things really do happen..." Ning Yi smiled and nodded. In fact, this kind of thing is not that strange. Pigeons can reach their destinations thousands of miles apart. It is naturally impossible to say that it is as accurate as radar, but among these highly skilled and powerful people,
For a martial artist who is proficient in wild survival, even if he can only determine a general direction, it may be difficult for him to escape. He has probably been mentally prepared before, so he doesn't mind at this time.
"Brother Wenren, I'm sorry to bother you about these things, but if it doesn't work out, I plan to send the maids around me away first. This matter should still be feasible."
There was silence for a moment, and Wenren Buer obviously didn't agree with this matter very much: "Mr. Ning, I'm afraid..."
Ning Yi waved his hand: "After sending her away, I have the intention to stay here and do something... The problem is not big, I have already calculated it before. Next door to the yard where I currently live, there is an old doctor who has no children.
, he is quite famous in the Ba Dao camp. Xiaochan has been helping in the medical clinic during this period. The old doctor treats her like a daughter. If it is just a normal situation, the old man will not help, but I have offended someone, no matter it is
Li Tianrun or Shi Bao are both powerful enough to compete with Liu Dabiao. If I am in danger, it will easily affect the people around me. When the pressure comes down, I will ask the old doctor to at least send Xiaochan away. In the meantime... I still need to hear people.
Brother’s help.”
Wenren Buer was stunned for a long time. Naturally, he had checked the situation around Ning Yi: "Master Ning... has been arranging this matter since Yue Yu ago?"
"It's not about arrangements, it's just about preparing for a rainy day. The old man has a tough personality, but he understands the cruelty of the world better. When the time comes, just ask him and he will help. This is the most mature way at present. If he doesn't help, think again.
There are other ways."
"But once this happens, it will be really difficult for you to leave, and your life may even be in danger..."
"Give it a try." Ning Yi said, "It would be good to go together. If we can't, if she stays, I will have no chance to leave in the future. You said the situation will get worse within a month... How is the fight in the north?
"
"The siege of Jiaxing has been lifted, but Fang Qifu gathered his troops and pinned General Tong's troops to the Xiuzhou line. The rear continued to harvest, burn, and loot. After this battle, the imperial court had no harvest between Hangzhou, Jiaxing, and Huzhou.
…”
"Sure enough..." Ning Yi nodded, "In your opinion, how long can Hangzhou be defended?"
"I don't know, but maybe half a year to a year..."
These things have nothing to do with ordinary intelligence officers, but when talking about them, Wen Renfuer frowned visibly, and Ning Yi was also a little silent. He didn't know much about this part of Fang La's history, he only knew that Fang La's final
It was a defeat, but it also dragged Tong Guan's army of more than 100,000 people to the south. Now it seems that Fang La captured Hangzhou just in time for the grain harvest. After it plundered the grain near Hangzhou, there was a decline.
, the burden on the Wu Dynasty court must be heavier. If they delay it for a year or two, the consequences will be really disastrous.
"The matter... let's decide this for the time being. I am doing well in Ba Dao Camp now. When Li Tianrun comes back and presses me, I have no choice but to send Xiaochan away. As long as I don't leave, they won't kill me. If they think I'm valuable
If the two sides are at loggerheads, that is of course the most ideal situation. If it doesn't work, you can tell the superiors and I will teach a group of more upright students here, which can be regarded as doing my best."
Ning Yi said, shook his head and smiled, Wenren Buer thought for a while: "Teach...upright students?"
"Yeah." Ning Yi nodded and sighed, "In today's world, integrity means being the enemy of the world. If we let them have a little internal friction, I won't be able to do many things anyway."
After talking to Wenren Buer, Ning Yi went out and went downstairs. The hall was still very lively, but he could hear a song "Looking at the Sea Tide" being sung on the stage. The singer was singing: "Chonghu Lake is stacked with Qingjia, there are three
Autumn osmanthus, ten miles of lotus blossoms. Qiang pipes cleared the sky, water chestnuts sang in the night, and old lotus babies played and fished..." Lou Shuwan was listening over there, and when she saw Ning Yi coming down, she said with a smile: "I'm singing your lyrics."
There were also people in the hall who knew him as well as Liu Xiyang. At this time, they all looked over and saw that someone had already come over from the crowd and seemed to want to say hello to him.
At this moment, the sound of commotion was faintly heard from the east.
First there were gongs, bugles and shouts, mixed together like a war, and gradually started to rise. At this time, Hangzhou had just experienced the war, and many of the people at the party had experienced the battlefield directly, and they all began to go to the windows to look out.
, some even went up to the roof of the third floor, and then some people who looked like servants hurried over to look for their respective masters and deliver news.
In the distant street scene, chaos quickly formed an outline. Pillars of smoke and red light rose into the sky. Soldiers on horseback and armed with swords rushed to the street over there. News came from various servants and servants very quickly.
The news spread among the people.
At the end of autumn, on the seventh day of September, the newly established Yongle Dynasty ushered in its first rebellion.
Qi Yuankang, who was a political advisor, rebelled.
Ning Yi only had a certain impression of this name. Like Lou Minzhong, he was one of the top leaders in Fang La's army. At this time, Ning Yi had heard someone say that this Qi Yuankang
, was once one of the Zhao'an faction in Fang La's army.
Standing in front of the window of Sijizhai with Lou Shuwan, Ning Yi already understood what the big event that Liu Dabiao said was going to happen tonight. Li Tianrun hadn't returned yet, and for the first purge of Fang La's military department, he
