Qin Xiao knocked a few times, and soon he heard a "crunch", the door opened, a head poked out, and he glanced at Qin Xiao. He was a little confused when he saw Qin Xiao dressed in a commoner, but he still asked, "You Who are you looking for?"

"In Xia Qin Xiao, I don't know if the leader of Tantai can be in the residence?" 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 didn’t ask Qin Xiao’s surname. 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, handed it over, and said: "I He is the son of General Kuroba."

This tiger-head jade pendant originally belonged to Han Yunong, but it has 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 gifted by the emperor. Tantai Xuanye is an imperial general, and he has a deep friendship with General Black Feather. With this jade pendant, he will 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 calm and self-assured, neither humble nor overbearing.

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

The Zhumen High Court of Tantai Mansion, Qin Xiao originally thought it must be extremely luxurious, but 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, but there are not many domestic servants in this mansion. The servants I saw were all very old, and there was almost no young maid.

The servant led Qin Xiao to a side hall. The furnishings inside were also very simple. The servant said, "Later!" Turning to go out without saying a word.

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

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

Qin Xiao saw that this man was amiable, but he didn't have the temperament of a soldier.

He has been in the Turtle City Captain's Mansion for three years, and he has spent many days in the White Tiger Camp. He can tell at a glance whether he is from a professional rank.

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 head of Tantai Mansion." The middle-aged man sat down opposite Qin Xiao, smiled and said: "Everyone calls me Liangshu, 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, don'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

I wondered, I thought this Tantai Mansion was different. Generally, the mansions who served tea and handed water were young maidservants. However, this Tantai Mansion asked nearly half a hundred old men to do these things, but I don't know why.

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

If Liang Shu didn't know anything about Xiling, he would be surprised if Qin Xiao mentioned the changes in Xiling, he would be surprised and even eager to know what happened, and 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 rebel party was in rebellion in the three counties of Xiling at the same time. Now the entire Xiling has fallen into rebellion. The hand of the army. We broke out of the siege and rushed into the Beijing News. After arriving in Kyoto, Lord Shoudu of Zhen County and Han Duwei separately went to the staff department and the war department, but until this morning, they had never returned. There is no news." Looking at Liangshu's eyes, he said: "There is really no way underneath, so I took the liberty to go to the door, I hope the leader can help."

Liangshu 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 Xiling. Report your military intelligence report?"

"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 know. When the chief comes back, I will report the matter to the chief." Uncle Liang said: "You should know that the chief is responsible for the imperial guard, and he is responsible for the time spent in the house. Not much, sometimes it’s rare to come back once a month."

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

"You are wrong." The good uncle who was smiling on his face instantly reduced 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, only obeys The saint’s will to do errands, so you said that you have a wide network of contacts, and that’s not the case."

Qin Xiao was stunned, 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 a During the event." The body was leaning forward slightly, and his eyes became extremely sharp: "Do you understand what I mean?"

How shrewd Qin Xiao is, how can he not understand what Liang Shu said.

When he thought of Tantai Xuanye last night, it was like finding light in the darkness. He thought that with the friendship between Tantai Xuanye and General Black Feather, 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 Uncle Liang's own meaning or whether Tantai Xuanye arranged for Uncle Liang to say this. At least at this moment, the last glimmer of light Qin Xiao had hoped for was extinguished in an instant.

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

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

Liangshu walked over and lifted the black cloth, but there were a few silver bars on the tray, "This is two hundred taels of silver. Kyoto is no more expensive than the countryside.

, you put it away first. "

"What does the manager mean?" Qin Xiao glanced at Liang Shu.

"Good intentions." Liang Shu sighed: "You are the adopted son of General Kuroba, so I invited you into the mansion today. You can change to someone else. You can't enter the gate of Tantai Mansion. However, the change in Xiling is very important. It is true that the generals and the generals are friends with each other, but the friendship between gentlemen is as thin as water, and personal relationships must not involve official affairs. The generals are all-minded, and this matter involves General Kuroba. As long as the generals are involved, they will be selfless. There is also selfishness, and even bigger troubles will be caused."

Qin Xiao frowned and said: "Manager, with all due respect, Xiling has changed, and I will report the details to the court. What's wrong? I didn't ask the commander to help me kill people and set fires. It's just that I am new to Kyoto and I am not familiar with the place. , The companions who were with me, the two of them had no news suddenly, so please help to find out their whereabouts. Will it cause trouble? What is the so-called trouble?"

Liangshu 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 you are missing. Don't you want to think about your safety?"

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Thank you for the manager's reminder. But since three people enter 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, I will never bother to come here again." He arched his hands, turned and left, Liang Shu said: "This silver......!"

"The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water." Qin Xiao did not 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."

Liangshu looked at Qin Xiao's back, frowning slightly.

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

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

The news from the Beijing News 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 has the news of the two of them been lost, Tantai Mansion even tried to avoid the plague to avoid him, the good uncle even persuaded himself to leave Kyoto, he really can’t figure out which king's law he has violated and he has to leave. Refuge in Kyoto.

The streets are clear and crisscross, with boats and horses flowing, heavy buildings and pavilions, elm willows glowing, and the scenery is beautiful and busy. Looking at the crowds on the street, it’s hard to think that the imperial west has just happened. A brutal upheaval, in this prosperous capital, there is no trace of the smell of beacon fire.

Xiling's rebellion seems to have no effect 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 heard a sound in his ear, interrupting his thoughts, looked up, and saw only one Ye Xiaozhou stopped in front of him, the ship's lady wearing a hat holding a pole in her hand, looking at herself asking.

The Chuanniang is not young, she looks like she is about thirty years old, Danfeng has enchanting eyes, and she wears a long-sleeved floral dress, underneath is a pair of gray cloth trousers with a round body. This dress, but also The bumps that outline her exquisite and bulging figure are smooth, from head to toe, there is a charm of a young woman.
