There was silence in the hall for a while, Bian Lingbai seemed to be thinking about something, and couldn't stop glancing at Duan Ling. Finally, Duan Ling broke the embarrassment and asked, "When will you get married?"
"In July." Yao Jing replied, "Uncle asked me to wait in Tongguan, and Xiliang will send someone to pick him up."
"You have worked hard on this journey." Bian Lingbai said to Yao Jing again, "If there is no servant at hand, Uncle Bian will send it to you. On weekdays, you can also let your servant go to the market. Just keep an eye out."
"Okay." Yao Jing seemed to be a little sad when she remembered that her maid and servant were killed by horse thieves.
"Go back and rest." Bian Lingbai ordered again.
Yao Jing nodded her farewell, Duan Ling watched her leave, slightly surprised.
The niece of the Marquis of Huaiyin, who actually married far away from Jiangzuo to Xiliang, even if she was married far away, with only so many followers on the road, she would be robbed by horse thieves. The wedding is not for the party members to come from home, but to Tongguan. Once the marriage, it should be handed over to Bian Lingbai for management. What is the reason
The only possibility is - not being favored.
"What?" Bian Lingbai took a sip of wine and said to Duan Ling, "Have you fallen in love with the Yao family's young lady?"
Duan Ling smiled and said, "It's not my turn to look at it."
Bian Lingbai laughed and thought that Duan Ling went straight and straight, which was quite interesting, and explained: "Your uncle was thinking of getting married with Yao Jialian back then, but the children in the house are young and not old enough to talk about marriage. He asked me, if it is possible to tell Yao Zheng to my nephew, it must be you, if he is still alive, he will not look down on this girl."
Duan Ling nodded, with a sighed expression on his face, Bian Lingbai said, "After a while, the person who welcomes the relatives from Xiliang will come. After I finish this matter, I will settle down with you slowly."
"I have one more thing." Duan Ling said, "Bring it to Uncle Bian..."
"Huh?" Bian Lingbai glanced casually at Duan Ling, but Wu Du frowned slightly and coughed.
Duan Ling looked at Wu Du inquiringly, Wu Du frowned slightly with a slightly hesitant expression on his face.
Duan Ling nodded towards Wu Du, but Bian Lingbai was a little impatient and said, "What is so mysterious?"
Duan Ling took out an object from his arms and handed it over to Bian Lingbai. Bian Lingbai didn't care. When Duan Ling untied the ribbon tied to the treasure map, and slowly unfolded it in front of Bian Lingbai, Bian Lingbai said nothing. Let Bai Fang move his gaze to Duan Ling's face.
"What is this?" Bian Lingbai asked.
Duan Ling thought that this is the treasure map you've been looking for, but he didn't dare to say so, nodded to Bian Lingbai, and sat back in his seat.
Wu Du sneered and said, "It's cheaper for you."
Bian Lingbai was inexplicable, looking at the treasure map, suddenly his face changed, and he looked at Duan Ling in disbelief.
"Uncle once put it in the fold of a military book and asked someone to bring it to me." Duan Ling explained the story he had made up to Bian Lingbai in detail, to the effect of how Zhao Kui placed high hopes on him. Let him be familiar with the military book, hide this map in the mezzanine, and give it to himself. This map will only appear when Sun Wu's suicide note is smashed.
There are many loopholes in this story. For example, why did Zhao Kui not give such a good thing to his own son, but gave it to his nephew, etc. But as soon as Duan Ling met Bian Lingbai's eyes, he knew that the rest were not important.
"Very good... very good." A strange look appeared in Bian Lingbai's eyes, and he stared at the treasure map intently.
Suddenly, Duan Ling felt this look, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
That was the look that Cai Yan once looked at Yu Huang.
Duan Ling was stunned for a moment, but was pulled back to reality by Bian Lingbai's crazy laughter.
"Very good! Very good!" Bian Lingbai said, "Just wait here."
Bian Lingbai quickly put away the treasure map and left the hall without saying a word. Duan Ling was inexplicable, turned his head to look at Wu Du, but Wu Du didn't say much, and ate food on his own. Bian Lingbai still hadn't come back until he knocked on the bang.
Duan Ling thought that it was time to identify the authenticity of this map, but he didn't know whether the development according to such a plan would go smoothly. In the middle of the night, Fang Youguard came to pass on Duan Ling and took him to Bian Lingbai's study, but Wu Du was stopped.
Duan Ling and Wu Du exchanged glances, and Wu Du nodded, knowing that Duan Ling's real test was coming.
Bian Lingbai was sitting in the study, and there was another old man beside him. The man didn't look young, but he had no beard. He wore gloves, carefully checked the treasure map, and nodded to Duan Ling.
"This is Mr. Fei." Bian Lingbai said to Duan Ling, "His name is taboo, he has two generations of yours, and he followed your uncle and late emperor back then, so he is very knowledgeable."
Duan Ling said hello to him.
"Where did you get this picture?" the elder asked Duan Ling.
Duan Ling then roughly explained the past that he had explained earlier. The elder nodded slowly, smiled, and said to Bian Lingbai: "Congratulations, General, when this treasure is excavated, it will be enough to meet the needs of our army."
Bian Lingbai said to the old man, "God is really helping me. According to the teacher, when is the best day to dig it?"
"We'll have to wait." Fei Hongde put away the picture, returned it to Bian Lingbai, and said, "Don't disturb others. After I go to investigate in person, I will let you know if there is any news."
Bian Lingbai thought about it for a second, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Do you have to send a team to guard yourself first?"
Fei Hongde explained: "It's okay to send someone disguised as a horse thief to watch at the foot of the mountain, but since no one has been there in the past 20 years, it must not be at this moment or three, now only you, me, and Zhao Gongzi know about it. This matter, presumably will not leak the wind, General Bian need not worry."
"Well." Bian Lingbai said, "This statement makes sense."
Said Bi Bian Ling Bai laughed again, waved to Duan Ling, motioned him to sit beside him, patted his shoulder, and said, "God sent you to help me, this will definitely happen!"
Duan Ling nodded and smiled, showing that he was happy for the side, but Fei Hongde looked at Duan Ling and said, "It's been hard work along the way. I just came back from Xiliang earlier."
Duan Ling said: "Fortunately, there is Wu Du to accompany."
"Well." Fei Hongde said again, "When did you enter Xichuan?"
"When spring begins this year," Duan Ling said to Fei Hongde.
Fei Hongde said again: "Shandong Wei has your father's old team. After switching defenses, you entered the military team. You didn't go to them, but instead followed Wu Du. This is a good move."
Duan Ling replied: "Don't dare to leak the rumors, after all, people's hearts are separated from each other."
Fei Hongde nodded and said, "Where is your cousin married now?"
Duan Ling's heart was pounding, knowing that the man named Fei Hongde was just reminiscing on the surface, but in fact he was trying his identity. Fortunately, I had done my homework before I came, and replied, "Which cousin?"
Fei Hongde said with a smile: "I can't remember, but I worked for the late emperor in Shandong in the past, and I heard that one of your mother's clan was beautiful..."
"Fourth sister." Duan Ling said hurriedly, "I got sick later."
Fei Hongde nodded slowly, and Bian Lingbai said to Duan Ling again: "Mr. Fei has been to many places. Although he was born in the party, he is a writer in our army. You can often ask him for advice on weekdays."
"Yes." Duan Ling said.
Fei Hongde said to Bian Lingbai, "The general has to find the map outside Tongguan, so we can have a long-term discussion."
Duan Ling knew that he had nothing to do with him, so Bian Lingbai ordered him to let Duan Ling go down and have a good rest. Compared with when he first came, his attitude was completely different, and he seemed to treat himself as an elder brother.
After Duan Ling left, Bian Lingbai asked Fei Hongde, "How?"
Fei Hongde pondered for a while, and then replied to Bian Lingbai: "There is no mistake in the identity, it should really be Zhao Pu's family."
Only then did Bian Lingbai feel relieved and said, "It's also possible to impostor."
Fei Hongde replied: "It's unlikely, as you have seen, this child must have been born in a family of poetry and calligraphy, and he has a little temperament after a military family. He is not afraid when he is young, his confidence is in his heart, he is definitely not a timid person who can be found casually. Where did Wu Du go to find such a young man? Besides, doing this will not benefit him at all."
Bian Lingbai thought about it too. What good would it be for Wu Du to send a young man with a treasure map to send money from thousands of miles away
"This fellow first betrayed General Zhao, and then killed Li Jianhong." Bian Lingbai couldn't help laughing and crying, "Even though he took shelter under Mu Kuangda's command, he must have had a hard time, so he has to find another way to make a living."
"Wu Du is indecisive." Fei Hongde said, "And after taking refuge in the shepherd's family, Lord Changliu will not allow him to stand out. Except for coming to submit to the general, there is no way to go, which is expected."
"If it wasn't for Helan Jie's casting earlier." Bian Lingbai said, "Wu Du can be used by me, it's not bad."
Fei Hongde sighed and said to Bian Lingbai: "Speaking of Helan Jie, I always object to your taking him in. If the court finds out that he is under your command, you will not be able to leave the case of the late emperor behind. ."
"That's all." Bian Lingbai waved his hand impatiently and said, "No need to say any more."
Fei Hongde nodded and said, "In recent days, I have been investigating this place."
Fei Hongde got up to leave, and after Fei Hongde left, Bian Lingbai smiled again, unfolded the map and looked at it repeatedly, with a greedy look on his face.
Wu Du and Duan Ling walked back through the corridor in the dark night.
With the breeze blowing, Duan Ling suddenly stopped, felt something, and stood in front of the corridor.
A bright moon in Tongguan is as big as a mirage, spreading its brilliance to the earth. Wu Du stopped, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he looked at Duan Ling puzzled.
"What's wrong?" Wu Du asked.
Duan Ling shook his head, feeling a strange feeling, but he couldn't say it.
Wu Du put one hand on Duan Ling's shoulder, stood behind him, and looked out of the courtyard with him. Under the long bright moon, Duan Ling had an illusion, as if he really became that "Zhao Rong".
"The water of Dianchi Lake, the moon of Tongguan." Wu Du said, "The green pines of Yuheng Mountain and the snow of Languan."
Duan Ling immediately turned around and said to Wu Du, "You know that too?"
"Know what?" Wu Du asked inexplicably.
"Those..." Duan Ling remembered what Li Jianhong had told him about the Central Plains, pondered for a moment, and then said, "My father also said before that there are too many beautiful places in this world."
"Jianghu people have an unrestrained heart." Wu Du said casually.
"It turns out that this is Tongguanyue." Duan Ling said, "and the maple forest under the Yubi Pass..."
"You will see." Wu Du said to Duan Ling, "Let's go."
"Is this meant to show me?" Duan Ling asked.
"It's okay if you want to think so." Wu Du said casually.
It was inconvenient for the two of them to talk too much in Bian Lingbai's mansion, but Duan Ling knew what Wu Du meant. After finishing this matter, if he really wanted to play, he could naturally take him out for a walk.
