Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Sun Moon Fenghua!Qin Xiao knocked a few times, and soon heard a "crunch", the door opened, a head poked out, and he glanced at Qin Xiao. He was a little confused when he saw that Qin Xiao was dressed in a cloth, but he still asked, "Who are you looking for?" "

"Under Qin Xiao, I don't know if the leader of Tantai can be in the mansion?" Qin Xiao said politely, "I have an urgent matter to find the leader."

The man frowned, but still patiently asked, "Who are you?"

Naturally, he was not asking Qin Xiao’s name. Qin Xiao thought about it for a while, knowing that since he went to Tantai Xuanye, there was no need to conceal his identity. He took out the tiger head jade pendant from his body and handed it over with both hands, saying: "I am Heiyu General's righteous son."

This tiger-head jade pendant originally belonged to Han Yunong, but it had been given to Qin Xiao, and Han Yunong also gave Qin Xiao the identity of the Black Feather Night Crow.

This tiger-head jade pendant was originally bestowed by the emperor. Tantai Xuanye was an imperial general and had a deep friendship with General Black Feather. With this jade pendant sent over, he would naturally prove his identity to Tantai Xuanye.

The servant took the jade pendant and said, "Wait a minute!"

Perhaps because I have seen too many people, a janitor in Tantai Mansion is also calm and self-assured, neither humble nor overbearing.

The man closed the door. Qin Xiao waited outside for a long time. The door finally opened. The janitor handed the jade back to Qin Xiao and said, "You follow me." No nonsense, he led Qin Xiao into the door and closed the door. , And led Qin Xiao into the mansion.

In the Zhumen High Court of Tantai Mansion, Qin Xiao originally thought it must be extremely luxurious. When he entered the mansion, he found that the furnishings inside were simple and plain. Although the mansion was large, there were not many objects, and it seemed a little empty.

Not only that, there are not many domestic servants in this mansion, and the servants I see are all very old, and there is almost no young maid.

The servant led Qin Xiao to a side hall with very simple furnishings. The servant said, "Later!" He turned and went out without saying a word.

There was a dead silence in Tantai Mansion, and Nuo Da's mansion could not hear the voice of a person, and it was quiet and infiltrating.

After a while, hearing the sound of footsteps, Qin Xiao only thought it was the arrival of the night of Tantai Xuan. He immediately got up, followed the sound, and saw a middle-aged man in a broad robe and leather hat coming in from outside the door, with a pair of horoscopes. , Less than fifty years old, as soon as he entered the door, a smile appeared on his face and smiled to Qin Xiao: "Sit down and talk, sit down and talk."

Qin Xiao saw that this person was amiable, but he did not have the temperament of a soldier.

He stayed in the Turtle City Captain's Mansion for three years, and spent a lot of time in the White Tiger Camp. He could tell at a glance whether he came from an army or not.

The middle-aged man has a slightly hunched back and a short stature. Because of his short neck, he looks almost without a chin.

"The old slave is the chief of Tantai Mansion." The middle-aged man sat down opposite Qin Xiao and smiled and said, "Everyone calls me Liangshu, and you can also call me like that."

Qin Xiao arched his hands and said, "Good Uncle!"

"Are you coming from Xiling?" General Manager Liang Shu smiled and said, "Did the general send you here?"

Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Liangshu, doesn't Kyoto know anything about what happened in Xiling?"

Uncle Liang was calm, and asked, "What happened?"

At this moment, a servant brought tea, and the one who served the tea was an old man who was nearly fifty years old. Qin Xiao’s heart

Doubt, I thought that this Tantai Mansion was different. Generally, the mansions who served tea and handed water were young maids, but this Tantai Mansion asked nearly half a hundred old men to do these things, but they didn’t know. What is the reason.

However, the reaction of Uncle Liang made Qin Xiao even more surprised.

If Liang Shu didn't know anything about Xiling and heard Qin Xiao mention the changes in Xiling, he would be surprised and even eager to know what happened. There would be some emotional changes.

But he was calm and composed, and seemed to have some understanding of what happened over there, so why bother to ask more.

"Fan Jun rebelled. Fan Ziqi colluded with a counterfeit prince and murdered the general." Qin Xiao clearly understood: "On the night of New Year's Eve, the rebels rioted in the three counties of Xiling at the same time. Now the entire Xiling has fallen into the hands of the rebels. We broke out of the siege and rushed into the Beijing News. After arriving in Kyoto, Lord Shoudu and Han Duwei of Nichizhen County, formerly, went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of War, but as of this morning, they had never returned. There was no news. "Looking at Liang Shu's eyes, he said, "There is really no way I can do it underneath, so I took the liberty to go to the door, and hope that the general leader can help."

Uncle Liang nodded slightly and said: "There is indeed a military report at the border, saying that Xiling has rebelled against the party, but the old slave is just a servant in the mansion. I don't know much about military affairs. Han Duwei went to the Ministry of War, naturally to report Xiling's military situation. Go up?"

"Yes." Qin Xiao said: "It stands to reason that you should meet with me after the report, but there has been no news, which makes people very worried."

"I see. When the commander comes back, I will report the matter to the commander." Liang Shu said: "You should know that the commander is responsible for the imperial city guards. He has a heavy responsibility and doesn't spend much time in the house. , Sometimes it is rare to come back once a month."

Qin Xiao frowned and said, "Good Uncle, is there any way to find the leader? The leader has a vast network in Kyoto...!"

"You're wrong." The uncle who was smiling on his face instantly narrowed his smile: "The commander is dedicated to protecting the imperial city and does not interact with other officials. He is a soldier, never involved in court affairs, and only obeys the will of the saint. It's errands, so you said that you have a wide network of people, and that's nothing."

Qin Xiao was taken aback, and Liang Shu continued: "You can report the changes in Xiling to the Ministry of War, or to the South Court or even the North Court. They will report to the saints, but the general will never be involved in such things. "The body was leaning forward slightly, and his eyes became extremely sharp: "Do you understand what I mean?"

Qin Xiao is so shrewd, how can he not understand the meaning of Uncle Liang's words.

When he thought of Tantai Xuanye last night, it was as if he had found light in the dark. He thought that with the friendship between Tantai Xuanye and General Kuroba, Tantai Xuanye should not be ignored.

But today not only can't see Tantai Xuanye, this Liangshu's words obviously don't want Qin Xiao to find Tantai Mansion again because of Xiling.

He didn't know if it was Liang Shu's own intention, or if Tantai Xuanye arranged Liang Shu to say this, at least at this moment, the last ray of light that Qin Xiao had hoped for went out instantly.

"Excuse me!" Qin Xiao stood up, turned and left.

"Wait a minute." Uncle Liang stopped Qin Xiao, clapped his hands, and walked into a person from the door, holding a tray with both hands, covering it with a black cloth.

Liang Shu walked over and lifted the black cloth, but there were a few silver coins on the tray, "This is two hundred taels of silver. Kyoto is not as expensive as in the countryside.

, You put it away first."

"Manager, what do you mean?" Qin Xiao glanced at Liang Shu.

"Good intentions." Liang Shu sighed, "You are the adopted son of General Black Feather, so I invited you into the mansion today. You can change to someone else, and you won't be able to enter the gate of Tantai Mansion. However, the changes in Xiling are of great importance, the commander. It is true that there are old friendships with the generals, but the friendship between gentlemen is as watery as water, and personal relationships must not involve official affairs. The chief is committed to the public, and this matter involves General Kuroba. As long as the chief is involved, there is selflessness and selfishness. It will even cause more troubles."

Qin Xiao frowned and said, "Manager, with all due respect, there has been a change in Xiling, and I will report the details to the court. What's wrong? I didn't ask the leader to help me kill and set people on fire. It's just that I am new to Kyoto and I am unfamiliar with me. For the companions who were together, there was no news for the two of them suddenly, so I ask you to find out their whereabouts. Will it cause trouble? What does the so-called trouble mean?"

Liang Shu looked at Qin Xiao's eyes, and when Qin Xiao finished speaking, he finally said, "Go, leave Kyoto, the sooner the better."

"why?"

"It's still kind." Uncle Liang sighed: "The three of you and your party entered Kyoto, and the two of them are missing. Don't you want to think about your safety?"

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Thank you, the manager, for reminding. But since it is three people entering Beijing, when they leave, either three of them will go together or none of them. The manager can rest assured that it is really reckless to visit today. From now on, he will never Please come back again. Excuse me." He arched his hands, turned and left, Liang Shu said: "This silver......!"

"The friendship between gentlemen is as pale as water." Qin Xiao didn't look back: "What's more, it is the general who has friendship with your Tantai Grand Commander. I have nothing to do with your Tantai Mansion, and this money cannot be collected."

Liang Shu looked at Qin Xiao's back, frowning slightly.

Qin Xiao left Tantai Mansion and left Tianhefang, smiling bitterly.

Suddenly I realized that the roads in the capital are wide, but if there is no network, it is really difficult to move.

According to the Beijing News, it was originally a simple matter. Find the relevant yamen and report the changes in Xiling in detail, and then the court will respond.

But now not only lost the news of the two, Tantai Mansion even wanted to avoid the plague to avoid him. The Liangshu even persuaded him to leave Kyoto. He really couldn't figure out which rule he had violated and had to leave Kyoto for refuge.

The streets are clear and criss-crossed, boats and horses flow, heavy buildings and pavilions, elm and willows glowing, and the scenery is beautiful and busy. Looking at the crowds on the street, it is hard to think that a cruelty happened in the western part of the empire. The drastic changes, in this bustling capital, you can't smell the slightest smell of beacon fire.

The rebellion in Xiling did not seem to have any impact on the life of the capital.

"Would you like to take a boat?" Qin Xiao dismounted and stood by the Luoshui River, staring at the cruise ships passing by on the water. Suddenly, he heard a sound in his ear, interrupting his thoughts, and looked up, only a small boat was seen. Stopped in front of her, the ship's lady wearing a hat holding a pole in her hand, was watching herself ask.

Chuan Niang is not young, she looks like she is about 30 years old, Dan Feng has eyes and a charming figure. She wears a long-sleeved floral dress, underneath is a pair of gray cloth trousers with a round body. This dress makes her exquisite. The embossed figure outlines the unevenness, from head to toe, there is a charm of a young woman.
