Kaifeng Bistro

Chapter 64

While the two were talking, Wu Fusheng stretched his waist comfortably, and walked towards them: "Hey, little shopkeeper, why are you closing the door now, and you haven't prepared supper yet."

"Supper?" Zhuo Zhuo glanced at him angrily: "You ate two big bowls of rice before going to bed, and now you still want to eat supper? We just sent away so many guests, how can we have time to give you a supper?" ?!"

"Tsk tsk, little shopkeeper, you are really unreasonable." Wu Fusheng shook his head: "I have been working hard all day for national affairs, and now I have a short nap, so I can just wake up without drinking. There is no night, it is a bit too shabby."

"Are you doing it for national affairs?!" Zhuo Zhuo sneered, "What kind of national affairs can come to you?"

Wu Fusheng just raised his lips and smiled, not paying attention to Zhuo Zhuo's words at all.He dragged his bad leg and came to sit down beside Tan Zhifeng slowly, and said to him: "Little shopkeeper, let me tell you about this supper thing. It's a pity, it's cold today Ice, otherwise, what kind of crystal soap, chicken head stuffed sugar, ice and snow cold yuanzi, mung bean licorice ice and snow cold water... you must prepare some here. But there are also ways to eat in cold weather, you know, according to According to the rules in the palace, on New Year's Eve, the secretary must present a 'Supper Fruit Box', which contains seasonal fruits, candied fruit, and candied fruit... I think the candied food made by yourself in your store is more The ones I have tasted in the palace are even more fragrant, but I will teach you another trick to ensure that the guests who come to you at night will step through your threshold!"

Tan Zhifeng was listening to him when he suddenly felt a noise from the next door.The movement was very faint, but it made Tan Zhifeng's heart tremble. He pushed the door hastily, but saw a black figure retreating from the room unhurriedly.The dim lights in the room were flickering, Tan Zhifeng walked to the bed a few steps and took a look, Ling'er was hugged by Changshang, the two were sleeping soundly.On the small square table in front of the bed, a neatly stacked piece of paper was pressed under the candlestick.

Tan Zhifeng turned around and saw Yiyi and Zhuo Zhuo following him.Wu Fusheng was also leaning against the door, looking at him thoughtfully.He unfolded the letter paper and immediately recognized that it was left by Xu Gan. There were only two lines of words scrawled on it: "Zhifeng, please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. There are so many things going on that I can't finish the book at the moment." . When I come back, I will explain it face to face. Don’t read it. Take care.”

Tan Zhifeng raised his head in a daze, and met Wu Fusheng's searching eyes at the door.Wu Fusheng was taken aback when he saw Tan Zhifeng's appearance, grabbed his wooden stick and ran towards the door. There were a few soft sounds outside the house, and Xu Gan's voice came from a distance: "Wu Fusheng, you followed me!" One day, do you still want to continue to follow me? State affairs are the most important thing, I advise you to stay in Kaifeng and stop making your own decisions, so as not to repeat the same mistakes..."

"Xu Gan!" Tan Zhifeng hurriedly chased him out, "Wait, where are you? You...where are you going?"

"Don't chase." Tan Zhifeng opened the door, but saw Wu Fusheng jumped off the roof: "Your brother has already left."

Although Tan Zhifeng had expected this result, he still found it difficult to accept it.He murmured, "Where did he go? What do you mean by what you just said?"

Wu Fusheng's thick black eyebrows were furrowed tightly. He sighed and said, "Oh, I underestimated the enemy after all. That's all, what he said made some sense. Little shopkeeper, what matters right now is the next move of the Xixia people. , Let me tell you what I know, the two of us together will definitely find the whereabouts of the list earlier than those idiots in Kaifeng Mansion!"

"What? You also know that there is a list?" Tan Zhifeng looked at Wu Fusheng in surprise, but saw his eyebrows raised: "Hehe, little shopkeeper, come and sit down. I know much more than you do."

"The list? What's going on? Zhifeng, do you know what this Wu man is talking about?" Zhuo Zhuo anxiously pulled Tan Zhifeng and kept asking.

Tan Zhifeng slowly looked away from the direction where Xu Gan's voice came from, and said to the three people in front of him: "Come on, let's go to the tavern next door and talk."

As soon as the door was closed, Wu Fusheng's previous funny expression was swept away, replaced by a serious face: "Little shopkeeper, I know that you are also running around for the safety of Song Dynasty. Is it you who killed me? I have never thanked you, and now I want to thank you properly!"

As he said that, he bowed deeply, which startled Tan Zhifeng. He quickly grabbed Wu Fusheng and said, "So...so you were the one who fought with Yeli Changrong and the others first. Fortunately, you are fine..."

Wu Fusheng got up and smiled, and Tan Zhifeng suddenly felt that his smile was generous and free, and the brows also added a bit of heroism.He sat down and whispered to the three of them: "Thank you guys for taking me in. In return, I will tell you my story, but you have to promise that you must never tell outsiders, little shopkeeper, especially the little shopkeeper. Your big brother Zhan, I had a relationship with him before, now that I am back, I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore."

Before Tan Zhifeng opened his mouth, Zhuo Zhuo urged him: "Say it quickly, we won't tell others, and I guess Mr. Zhan is not interested in your affairs, so you tell us quickly, so that Zhifeng can decide whether to go with you or not." Cooperation!"

"Hey, it's a long story about me. Don't mention anything else, I think you must know that a few years ago, when the King of Xiangyang subdued the law, his gang also dispersed. However, these years they Not only has he been sitting in the Spring and Autumn Dream of being the emperor, but he has also been doing collusion with the enemy and treason in private. The Xixia and Liao Kingdoms have had close ties with our prince. It is with his help that Yeli Changrong sneaked into the world. Kaifeng and stayed to collect news for Li Yuanhao."

Tan Zhifeng was startled, and just about to ask a question, Wu Fusheng raised his hand to stop him, and continued: "Listen to me...you think their plan has only just started in the past few years, hehe, you are too underestimating Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom and the famous Li Yuanhao, probably as early as 20 years ago, they began to send spies to our Song Dynasty to spy on the military situation and public opinion for them... But all of this was also when the party members of King Xiangyang were eliminated Got it."

"Hey!" Wu Fusheng sighed at this point, "I stayed at the border all these years, and I didn't want to go back to Kaifeng to cause trouble. Who would have thought that with Han Xianggong going to Beijing to fight this time, I heard that the thieves from Xixia attacked Make up your mind, you must cooperate with the outside, kill him and the other loyal officials of the Song Dynasty, and clear the way for Li Yuanhao to march into the Central Plains! In addition, there are several old stories that have also surfaced..."

Wu Fusheng stopped and looked at Tan Zhifeng. Tan Zhifeng was listening carefully. At this moment, he couldn't help asking: "What happened in the past, does it have anything to do with the current battle situation?"

Wu Fusheng shook his head slowly: "Maybe, maybe not, this matter involves a lot. I don't dare to speak nonsense for the time being. Well, let's not talk about anything else, don't think that Yumao killed a few Xixia people on the day of the winter solstice." Man, you can rest easy at this time. Yeli Changrong is still there, and the people Li Yuanhao sent to meet him are probably already on their way. Yeli Changrong’s inquiring information in Kaifeng over the years is now missing. Little shopkeeper, we must not let Get it out!"

"Wait, why should we believe what you said? What if you are also a spy of Xixia or Liao Kingdom?" Yi Yi stood up and said coldly: "You appeared at the door of the tavern out of thin air, how are you going to tell me?" Zhifeng proves that you will not harm him?"

Wu Fusheng smiled again, took out a bag of pure white jade from his waist and handed it over, and said at the same time: "Little shopkeeper, do you remember what this is?"

Tan Zhifeng quickly took it into his hand and took a look, only to see that the jade was shining with a faint silver light under the moonlight, and there was a faint spiritual energy floating in it, echoing the spiritual energy in his body.Tan Zhifeng's heart moved, and he asked, "Where did you get this?"

"Where did you get it?" Wu Fusheng said with a smile, "This is my weapon. It's called Moyu Flying Locust Stone. This thing is so precious that ordinary people can't even find one. When you killed snakes that day, I Watching the battle, I know that you all know some spells. You must be able to see that there is some spiritual energy in this jade. This is because a few years ago, an expert injected his own spiritual energy into it in order to save my life. Among these jade stones, firstly, it can keep my soul alive at that time, and secondly, if I encounter a strong enemy in the future, I can have a better chance of winning..."

"So that's how it is." Tan Zhifeng picked up a small moist stone and looked at it carefully for a while, then said to Wu Fusheng: "Brother Wu, it's thanks to your stone, do you know? into the eyes of that yellow snake, I am afraid that the yellow snake is not so easy to die."

Wu Fusheng looked at Tan Zhifeng when he heard the words, and the two looked at each other with a smile. Although the two had never met in Tianqing Temple that day, they had already formed a tacit understanding of mutual acquaintance. Tan Zhifeng then understood why he felt deja vu when he saw Wu Fusheng the first day. And he stayed behind under the opposition of everyone.

Wu Fusheng went on to say: "Since I came to Kaifeng, I have been looking for the whereabouts of Ye Li Changrong day and night. I have already noticed that his subordinates are inquiring about the situation of the ministers in the court. There are even two painters in the middle who have clearly painted the faces of the military generals sent to the border. Looking at their actions these few times, they want to use a two-pronged approach to kill and bribe the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty. , Let us have no strategy to defend against the enemy inside, and no soldiers who are good at fighting outside, so that they can drive straight in and sweep Kaifeng straight!"

"Oh my god, it's so serious!" He tugged at the corner of his skirt anxiously, looked at Tan Zhifeng, then at Wu Fusheng, and asked, "Then...then what list is this, where is it now?"

Wu Fusheng frowned, and said: "Well... a few days ago, I went to Tianqing Temple to check. At that time, I heard that Sang Sijun and Chen Yuwan were arguing, and the list seemed to be in the hands of Sang Sijun. "
