Yan Fei

Chapter 113 Introduction

The sea route between Qinzan and Minghan is only open for a few months every year. In the summer, merchant ships and passenger ships can be used. During the Chinese New Year, only merchant ships will be used, and the supervision will be stepped up. The dock is not for investigating cases, but a pile of bricks, where to move where there is a shortage.

The new emperor came to Minghan with the merchant ship after the summer, and everything has been taken care of. He is 19 years old. Even if the eldest princess is worried, she will not really treat him as a child.

He has always had an idea, otherwise he wouldn't have had the patience to wait for him for more than ten years.

He is a person who has no idea and doesn't know much about Minghan. If he wants to find someone, he can only go to the famous Gusu Pavilion.The waterway from Qinzan to Minghan is from the southwest of Qinzan to the southeast of Minghan, disembarking at Guangling.

Guangling is beside Yiweidu River.He spent five days at sea, and went looking for a stable as soon as he got off the boat and his legs were still weak.

In the lobby of the stable where the horses are borrowed, people come and go, shoulder to shoulder, with a wooden counter in the middle and a curtain at the back, vaguely covering an exquisite wooden couch.

He was waiting outside, and was planning to go in when there were fewer people inside, but he saw a man walking out from the back room, with a cigarette in his hand, puffing on the clouds leisurely.

"Little brother," the man leaned over and said with a smile, "what are you doing standing here?"

"Borrow a horse."

The man's face froze for a moment, and he said again: "Of course I know that you are here to borrow horses, and all the people who come to the stables are here to borrow horses. What I mean is, why don't you line up?"

"...a lot of people."

The man wondered again: "It's one thing to have a lot of people, but it's another thing if you don't line up. The port has opened recently, and there are always so many people. If you want to wait until there are fewer people, how many days will you have to wait?" ? Besides, it’s not common for people to queue up?”

Qin Zan Xinhuang, who was pampered as a child, was always embarrassed to say that he had never queued up, and a bunch of people rushed to put everything under his eyes.

"Okay, little brother. Where are you going?"

"Gusu Pavilion."

The man glanced at him and said, "Do you know where Gusu Pavilion is?"

"A reed to cross the river."

The man gave a meaningful "Oh" and said, "Where is Yiwei crossing the river?"

"..." He rolled his eyes and said, "What exactly do you want to do?!"

The man smiled and said: "Little brother, I see that you are destined, come here, I will lend you a horse, and I can tell you how to get to the organ city."

"...You and I don't know each other, why did you help me?"

"This stable is mine. Would you like to borrow a horse?"

"...Thank you."

"That's right!" The man hooked his shoulders, waving the stick of cigarette carelessly and abducting people in, "To tell you the truth, it's just that I have colleagues in the organ city. You and I also It’s fate, but it’s just a matter of raising our hands.”

He waved away the smoke from his mouth and nose, and said, "What exactly do you want to do?"

The man sighed: "It's really nothing, and there are indeed my colleagues in the organ city. Let me ask you, what are you doing in Minghan?"

"I... I'm looking for someone."

"Let me tell you the truth," the man took a sip of the cigarette holder, and said again, "you, if you really want to find someone, it is most convenient to turn around and ask for help between me and my colleagues. What do we guys do? We have everything, if you want anything, we can send a message and see if we can do it for you."

"...Why help me." He lowered his head and frowned.In his past impressions, there has never been any free benefits. If you go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, there will be no free cakes in the sky.

"Oh, what a big deal. It's just that I'm sure." The man pointed at his plain coat and said, "Look, although your clothes don't look fancy, but the dark patterns are fine. Although the things you wear on your hands and neck are inconspicuous, you can see that they are expensive. You are from overseas and you have a treasure on you. If we have something to do outside, I would like to invite you It's convenient."

"I understand."

It's not a big deal after all.

In the stable at the back of the hall, there was a row of strong and strong horses. They breathed out hot air from their noses aggressively, broke their hooves, and looked at the two people who entered the stable with black eyes.

"I don't know where you are going in the end. The horses here are all young and strong, and can run a lot." The man waved his hand, and ordered his servants to pull out a shiny black horse from the stable. Come, the mane covers the neck obediently, with distinct roots. "This horse is considered the best one here. I'll sell it to you with the money I borrowed, and you don't have to pay it back. Just don't forget what I said today."

His eyes moved slightly, he rubbed the black horse's slender neck, pursed his lips and said, "Excuse me... what is your name?"

"You can just call me Jiuwenqian. When you arrive at Gusu Pavilion, you can also report my name. If my colleague is in the pavilion, he will naturally meet you."

After paying off the silver taels, it was night after all the formalities were completed.Jiu Wenqian kept him for one night in the inn under his name, and led him to go north the next day.

The horse tendons were strong, but within two hours, he had already crossed the river with a reed.There was no shelter on Yiwei crossing the river, the sun was shining brightly, and his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.The horse's hoof hit the water, and after walking a few steps, the river covered the horse's legs. He had no choice but to go back to the shore.

He wandered around for a while, only then did he see a small pier with wooden planks, and a few small boats leaning on the side.Under a tree by the bank stood a few young men in gray clothes embroidered with gold, arms folded, chattering endlessly.

One of them saw him hesitantly not coming forward in the distance, guessed that he had something to do, and shouted: "Brother, what's the matter?"

After the Gusu Pavilion spy got off the boat, he led him to the reception room in the city.The reception room is in the middle and lower part of the mechanism city, and the window is also crowded with sporadic mechanisms and gears. The vines at the bottom of the city are coiled on the wall and stick out a little branch into the room, which is much cooler.

Gusu Pavilion has its own set of procedures, and most of the spies who come to find spies to do things can follow that set of procedures. There are many spies in the pavilion, so they can pick one out.

It's the same when it comes to him.The spy who led him in went out for a while, and when he came back, he held a stack of papers in his hand.

"My lord, if you have anything to do, just tell me. When I make a note, someone in our city will pick out spies to handle it for you." The man said, looked up at him again, and said helplessly, "You can sit down first. "

"No. I'm looking for someone."

"Well," the spy didn't force it, and then said, "What's your name? What does it look like?"

"It looks the same as me, and it's called Ganmu."

The spy paused, then looked up at him with a complicated expression: "...you...you can't be Ganmu's brother...?"

"...My name is Gan Luo, and I'm his second brother."

The stack of papers and the piece of wood that was sandwiched fell to the ground with a "snap".The spy seemed to be quite frightened, he walked back and forth a few steps tremblingly, and said: "You sit down for a while, I'm serious, you sit down for a while. I have to find someone to come to you about this matter." , but he is not in the pavilion right now, so we have to wait until night."

He took a deep breath and said with a pale face, "Did anyone introduce you?"

"I saw a man named Jiu Wenqian in Guangling..."

"Okay! Okay!" The spy breathed a sigh of relief and thumped the palm of his hand. "This is easy. You rest first, and I will call the man over at night."

Gan Luo watched in a daze as the spy neatly packed up the stack of papers and hurried out, leaving nothing to say.

There was nothing to do left and right, and it was useless for him to be anxious, so he opened the door and went out to wander around.Gusu Pavilion is really big, and you can hear the sound of mechanism operation from time to time when walking on the corridors on each floor.The whole city of organs is not small. After he walked about ten floors, the sun was already slanting westward. It took him a while to walk back, and there was already a silver-haired boy waiting in the room, looking boredly. With a booklet.

The young man glanced at him, folded the brochure, and said, "Here you are? Your name is Gan Luo?"
