After Chao Yong's soul traveled through thousands of years, he practiced equestrian skills diligently in addition to learning boxing and kicking every day. Although he could not be said to be proficient in bow and horse, riding a horse and galloping was no longer a problem.
Bidding farewell to Duan Jingzhu in Jeju, the two of them hurriedly arrived outside Tokyo early on the third day.
Bianliang City in Tokyo could be said to be the largest city in the world at that time. From a few miles away, Chao Yong and his wife could see the towering city walls.
As we got closer, the "Dragon Protecting River" that was more than ten feet wide protected the city even more closely. If the suspension bridge was retracted, I don't know how many corpses would fill up the "Dragon Protecting River" that was more than ten feet wide.
The ten-foot-high city wall, if there are not enough siege equipment prepared, even if you get to the city, you will only be able to look at the city and sigh.
Among the twelve city gates, except for the four main gates such as Nanxun Gate, which have two levels of straight gates because they lead to the imperial road, the rest are three-story barbicans with curved openings. The city wall is also divided into three layers.
The problem is that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. When the Jin soldiers besieged the city in the future, if Song Huizong hadn't pinned his hope on the unfounded "magic soldiers" to defeat the enemy, the Jin soldiers' attempt to capture Bianjing would have been a pipe dream.
When the two entered the city, they saw that Bianjing was even more prosperous. The streets were full of vendors, and the sounds of selling in various dialects kept coming and going.
After walking a few steps, a waiter came forward and said: "Please stay here for the two guests. There are good rooms in the inn, and the horses are also taken care of by grooms. If you don't want to go and have a look, you are not satisfied." You can hit the small ones with big slaps.¡±
Chao Yong saw that the waiter was smart and that the inn was at the gate of the city, so he nodded and asked him to lead the way.
Seeing Chao Yong nod, the waiter quickly took the reins of the horse and led the two of them to the inn.
This inn was quite clean. Chao Yong took a look at it and settled down here.
Chao Yong and the waiter at the inn carefully inquired about the address of Lin's residence, and then he and Chao San walked out of the inn and left separately.
Chao Yong followed the route mentioned by the waiter, asked two more people, and then came to the entrance of the alley. He saw two idle men wandering around in the alley. After looking at them for a while, he returned to the inn. Chao San also rented a car and returned, and the two of them recharged their batteries at the inn. After traveling for days, even Chao Yong felt a little tired.
Night falls early, but the city of Bianjing is decorated with lights. In the dimly lit areas, faint sounds can be heard, and many literati come out to look for flowers and willows.
Since the Song Dynasty, scholar-bureaucrats have not been ashamed of taking prostitutes hostage. Instead, they have regarded it as a sign of celebrity romance. Therefore, there are many celebrities of the time who hang out in the fireworks place.
Of course, most people can only yearn for this kind of life. What they need to consider more is how to make a living. There is no other free entertainment in the evening, so they all go to bed early and burn less lights. Therefore, there is more night and tranquility around.
In the Lin Mansion, Mrs. Zhang has been crying all day since Lin Chong was assassinated. Although Lin Chong wrote a letter of divorce, she did not return to her parents' home.
Lin Chong also had no brothers, sisters, or relatives, so no one came to chase her away.
The female envoy Jin'er looked at Madam who was getting thinner day by day and advised: "Madam, go to bed early. Master is very skilled in martial arts, so he will definitely not be poisoned by Gao Yanei."
"The official is very skilled in martial arts, but Lu Yuhou is extremely treacherous. He is afraid that something might happen to the official accidentally. Otherwise, Gao Yanei's fellow would not say that the official has been killed by him. Seeing that the time limit set by Gao Yanei is about to end. When I arrived, there was still no letter from the official. I was afraid that I was really unlucky. If there was no news from the official in a few days, Gao Yanei would come to force me to marry him. It would be unfilial for me to fail to keep a wife for the official. How can I be sorry to the officials again? Only by following the officials to the underworld can we keep our innocence."
Hearing this, Jin'er cried: "If Madam passes away, how will Jin'er live alone in this world?"
Speaking of the desolate place, the master and servant could not help but hold their heads and cry.
While I was crying, I heard someone whispering outside the window: "Sister-in-law, please open the door. I have a letter from Coach Lin."
Since Lin Chong's marriage, there has been no man in the Lin Mansion. The two of them were startled when they heard a man's voice suddenly coming from the courtyard. When he heard that Lin Chong had sent a letter, he immediately ran to open the door regardless of his fear.
It turns out that Chao Yong waited until late at night, jumped out of the hotel, avoided the night watchman, and arrived at the alley behind Lin Chong's house.
After Lin Chong's marriage, Gao Yanei sent people to keep an eye on Lin's house to prevent Zhang and the others from escaping. They only kept a lookout for a few months, but when they saw that Zhang showed no sign of escaping, the people who were keeping tabs lost all precautions. , I just come here every day for a formality, and then go to sleep in the evening. Therefore, Chao Yong easily sneaked into Lin Mansion.
Chao Yong could hear the panicked footsteps of the people in the room, and also knew how desperate Zhang was for Lin Chong.
Zhang opened the door and said impatiently: "Where are the official letters?"
Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was only gradually accepted and respected by the rulers in the late Southern Song Dynasty. At this time, the clothes in the Song Dynasty still continued the style of the Tang Dynasty, and women mostly wore undergarments.??, the collar of the jacket is lowered, revealing a tube top, which is half covered by pink breasts. Although it is not as attractive as a Tang suit, it still has a different scenery.
Mrs. Zhang today wore a red jacket, a pink skirt, and a white tube top that was very conspicuous. She probably messed up her clothes when she cried with the maid just now, and most of the white breasts on her chest were visible. exposed.
Chao Yong is also an adult. Looking at the rough waves in front of him, he can't help but swallow his saliva. However, when he remembered that the person in front of him was Lin Chong's wife, he put away his thoughts.
Chao Yong also greatly admired the haggard woman in front of him. If he hadn't come to rescue him, I'm afraid Zhang would have been like in the Water Margin, where she was forced to hang herself by Gao Taiwei. Such a loyal woman is rare, Chao Yong said this Firstly, he was loyal to Lin Chong, but secondly, he couldn't bear Zhang's death.
Chao Yong saw Zhang¡¯s expectant eyes and quickly took out the letter and handed it to Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang took the letter and saw through the light in the room that the cover was the handwriting of her husband. Then she greeted Chao Yong Yingying and said, "I'm sorry, please come in quickly."
Entering the room, Mrs. Zhang asked Chao Yong to sit down, and she couldn't wait to open the letter and read it. When she saw Lin Changchong being chased after moving to Cangzhou, she shed two lines of tears.
After reading the letter, he knelt down and kowtowed to Chao Yong and said, "Thank you so much, my benefactor, for sending me this letter and letting this little lady know the news about my husband."
Chao Yong hurriedly helped Zhang up and said: "I have always admired Coach Lin for his martial arts skills. He should serve and is not worthy of my sister-in-law. My brother wanted to make it clear in the letter. This time, I came to escort my sister-in-law to reunite with my brother. ¡±
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang said without hesitation: "There is nothing important at home. I can leave with my benefactor at any time. However, Gao Yanei sent people to guard him day and night, fearing that he would not be able to escape."
Chao Yong said: "The security in Gao Yamen should be relaxed now. When I came here before, I saw no one watching me. My sister-in-law will pack some belongings tonight, and I will bring a carriage to pick her up early tomorrow morning. Then I will open the door from the inside." , by the time they found out, we were already far away.¡±
Seeing that Chao Yong had already thought everything through, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but be overjoyed. She just said, "My father is still in Tokyo. If we leave, I'm afraid Gao Qiu won't let him go."
Chao Yong heard this and said: "Sister-in-law wrote a letter to my uncle and asked him to meet him out of the city. Early tomorrow morning, I will ask my servant to send a letter to my uncle. We will meet ten miles outside the city, and then we will go together to find Coach Lin."
"My benefactor is so virtuous that this young woman will never forget her."
At the moment, there was a letter from Zhang, and Chao Yong took it and sneaked back to the hotel at night.
At dawn the next day, Chao Yong took the carriage to the Lin Mansion Alley. Sure enough, the two people he was following yesterday had not come out yet. Mrs. Zhang had already packed up her belongings, and the two of them got on the carriage. Chao Yong climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, locking the door from the inside.
The few people had not gone far out of the city when Chao San came with Coach Zhang on horseback.
Chao Yong met with Coach Zhang, and Coach Zhang said, "My daughter didn't tell me clearly in her letter where my virtuous son-in-law is. I need to tell you."
Chao Yong knew that this matter could not be hidden from Coach Zhang, and Zhang was very loyal, so he told him bluntly: "Master Lin is temporarily staying in Liangshan, and there are many eyes and ears in the city. He is afraid that the news will be lost, so he dare not say anything. Don't blame Coach Zhang." ¡±
Mrs. Zhang already knew the whereabouts of her husband-in-law from the letter last night, and was a little worried that her father would not want to leave the family. Therefore, the letter only asked her father to go out of the city to meet him today.
Seeing him ask, Mrs. Zhang looked at her father and said resolutely: "Father, my daughter is born as a husband, and dies as a ghost of her husband. She would rather die than marry that Gao Yanei."
Coach Zhang looked at his daughter, who had been stubborn since she was a child, and knew that she could do what she said. He sighed and said, "I had already guessed that the life he could save from Gao Qiu's minions would have to kill someone again and commit another crime." How can I tolerate such a heinous crime? How can I, as my only daughter, push you to a dead end? Now, I have no choice but to die with you. "
After saying that, he clasped his fists at Chao Yong and said, "Thank you, little brother. Once we leave, Gao Qiu will not arrest the little girl in a big way. He will probably arrest me in the name of a deserter. Fortunately, there are many deserters now, and the state capitals will not arrest the girl." Try to capture him. If we go a little further today and get out of Tokyo, we should be fine."
Seeing that Coach Zhang quickly agreed to go to Liangshan, Chao Yong saved the words he had already thought about.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? is a group of people speeding up, not stopping at noon, and walking all the way to Liangshan.
??The helpers sent by Gao Yameni in Tokyo to keep an eye on Lin Mansion arrived at the entrance of the alley at three o'clock in the morning. Seeing that Lin Mansion's door was still open from the inside, they sat at the entrance of the alley for the whole day. After Lin Chong was assassinated, Mrs. Zhang seldom went out to avoid entanglement in the government office. On weekdays, Jin'er only went out when she needed to buy some things. It was not unusual to not go out for a day or two. However, Coach Zhang did not go to Yingmao for two days in a row, which made Gao Qiu feel that something was wrong and sent someone to check the time.??I found that both father and daughter had disappeared.
After Lin Chong was assassinated, Gao Yanei wanted to take Zhang as his concubine.
It¡¯s just that Gao Qiu¡¯s road to promotion was a shortcut to the south, and he lacked prestige in the army. Only a few flattering generals worshiped him, but he was not as powerful as the eunuch Tong Guan. Instructor Zhang had been in the army for decades and had friendships with many generals. Therefore, Gao Qiu really wanted to become an in-law with Instructor Zhang so as to enhance his voice in the army. Only then did they make an agreement for half a year. Gao Yameni would not harass Mrs. Zhang within half a year. However, after half a year there was no news from Lin Chong, and then he would marry Mrs. Zhang as his concubine.
Coach Zhang couldn't resist, so he could only respond first and survive for a while.
Although Huahua Taisui Gaoyanei has been looking for flowers and willows in the past six months, Mrs. Zhang is like a cat hidden in his heart, tickling him all the time. The more I can't get it, the more excited I feel. In addition, I have spent a lot of time thinking about it. I see that half a year is coming, and I have no intention of looking for flowers and willows in the past few days. I am just waiting for a kiss when the time comes.
Suddenly I heard that all the Zhang women had run away. I felt as if I had lost my parents. I ran to Gao Qiu and started crying, blaming Gao Qiu for wanting to make a date in the second half of the year.
When Gao Yanei made a fuss, Gao Qiu was so embarrassed that he immediately handed over the documents and asked the state governments to capture the fugitive commander Zhang.
