Chapter 184 The Pear of the Pear Blossom
The moonlight was boundless, and there were only a few gleams of light left in the sky and the earth, and the whole emperor fell into the deepest silence.

The side door at the back of Qingshan Academy opened, and a tightly wrapped man walked out with a very faint lantern.

The long street was silent, and his figure quickly disappeared at the intersection.

Huiping's pawn shop is already closed, and the door to the yard behind is slightly open. Occasionally, someone will come over, and after silently pushing it open, it will be silently closed again.

The buddy waited for someone inside the door, one came, one was welcomed in, and the other was helped to carry the lantern, the whole process was silent.

Five candles were burning in the other hall opened by the back hall, and the room was full of tranquility.

After about seven or eight people arrived, the shopkeeper took out the letter from his sleeve and put it on the table.

"In July, the southeast state capital," the shopkeeper said, "the hurricane brought heavy rain, and Lingtang County was flooded for five days, and more than [-] people were drowned in urban and rural areas. The strong wind moved all the way to the northwest, and the wind speed became stronger. Several hurricanes from the south have successively caused heavy rain in Peifeng for ten days."

Other people in the room did not speak, some were reading the letter on the table, some were thinking.

"Two people appeared inside," the shopkeeper said again, "one is Lin Qingfeng, this woman said a month ago that there will be ten days of heavy rain in Peifeng, the other is a girl, I don't know what her last name is, she is called A Li, she... ..."

"Pears from pear blossoms?" The man sitting on the other side of the table asked suddenly.

When everyone looked around, Guo Ting looked at the shopkeeper in a daze, and asked, "Yes or not?"

The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Yes, do you know about this girl?"

"Pears from pear blossoms." Guo Ting repeated this sentence, looking at the letter in the hand of the man on the other side.

"What's wrong with you?" the shopkeeper asked curiously.

"I came here today to talk about this matter. I don't know if it's the same person. A girl came to me this morning. She also called herself A Li. She said...she knew Brother Sun and Brother Xia." Guo Ting said .

Everyone was taken aback.

"How old is she? How did you know her?" the shopkeeper asked hurriedly.

"Ten or 11 years old. As for how we met, she only said that she was an old friend. I thought she was here to test me, but what she asked had nothing to do with temptation, and she didn't even know what happened in Dingguo Mansion."

"Strange," said a man.

"Why don't you tell me first, what happened to Ali in the hurricane?" said the man holding the envelope.

The shopkeeper withdrew his gaze, still a little dazed, and then said: "The matter of this girl is even more mysterious than Lin Qingfeng. She rescued a dozen refugees and lived in a deserted village outside the city for several days. ...built a boat."

"Shipbuilding?" Bystanders were surprised.

"Yes, what is used is not the usual shipbuilding method, but the mortise and tenon mechanism. Those people said that the blueprint was drawn by herself. She is also responsible for finding food and medicinal materials, and is almost omnipotent. She is accompanied by two loyal Big man, that's all... She also rescued a special envoy of Jiang Pingsheng. She went to Peifeng City herself, stole a horse and caused a storm in the city. When Zhao Yuan was about to abandon the city, she persuaded Zhao Yuan to stay , and then she left, and it was said that she built the ship just to come to Beijing," said the shopkeeper.

His voice was unhurried, and everyone was stunned for every word he uttered.

"This is the girl named Ali?" someone said.

The shopkeeper nodded.

"It's fake." Someone said solemnly.

"Maybe," the shopkeeper looked at the letter, "but this letter was given to me by He Chuanjiang. Don't you know what kind of temperament he is?"

Hearing that it was written by He Chuanjiang, everyone was even more stunned than before.

The most important thing for He Chuanjiang is to be based on the truth, he will not speak nonsense, and he does not like to exaggerate. If he can write a letter and send it here, it may really be the case.

"Then this girl... is really evil." Someone said.

"The girl you saw today, why did she come to you?" The shopkeeper looked at Guo Ting.

Guo Ting recalled and shook his head: "I can't tell what it is for, first ask me why the Duke of Dingguo was convicted, and finally ask me where their bodies are."

"what do you say?"

"To be honest, outside the ancient forest of Xilai Mountain, on the cliff of Liusong outside Sanlinkou in the east." Guo Ting said.

The shopkeeper nodded: "That is indeed the case. The government left it there at the beginning."

"She is very eloquent," Guo Ting said again, "and she can lead me to follow her thoughts. By the way, she came here with a letter written by Mr. Zhan Chen from Dongping University, which was a recommendation letter for her brother." , but she said that her brother is ill and can't come for the time being, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. "

The shopkeeper was slightly pleased: "That's very good, then you just wait, what's her brother's name?"

"I specifically inquired, called Baiyou."

"People?"

"Ah."

"So the girl you mentioned is called Baili," said the shopkeeper, "I don't know if it's the girl from Peifeng. That girl persuaded Zhao Yuan to stay and defend the city. It's her."

Everyone nodded, and felt a little unbelievable.

After a while of silence, the man sitting next to Guo Ting asked, "Do you have any information about the war in the northern border today?"

"Not over there, but there are in the hall." The shopkeeper looked at him, "The dog emperor is going to send Li Xun with a hundred thousand troops."

"Li Xun?" Guo Ting asked in surprise, "Li Xun, the son of Prince Jian'an?"

"How old is he, send him?"

"Yes, there is no one in the court, so we can't send him there."

"One hundred thousand soldiers and horses, give it to him? The dog emperor is crazy."

"Keep your voice down." The shopkeeper said with a frown.

Everyone's voices are actually too low to be too low, but when they talk too much, they appear chaotic and loud.

The man next to Guo Ting who asked the question first said again: "Where are Tian Dayao and Song Zhiyi? How is the war going?"

"It will be delivered tomorrow." The shopkeeper replied.

The man nodded and fell silent.

Everyone asked some more questions, and then discussed softly with others, and stopped when the staff said it was almost five o'clock.

As usual, they leave one by one, and the time gap between them will be slightly longer.

Guo Ting sat there waiting, his eyes thoughtful.

"When Baiyou arrives at the academy, you can send someone to tell me." The person beside him suddenly said.

Guo Ting looked at him and frowned slightly: "Brother Fang is interested in this girl?"

"Better than the hidden guards in my house." Fang Guanyan said.

"Okay," Guo Ting replied, "If he comes, I will send someone to the house to look for you."

"En." Fang Guanyan nodded.

It was his turn to leave at this time, but he just remembered something, took out a bottle of plaster from his sleeve, turned around and handed it to the shopkeeper.

"Last time, I heard you said that he had a bad cough. Try applying this ointment on the outside of his throat." Fang Guanyan said.

The shopkeeper took the medicine: "Okay."

Fang Guanyan nodded respectfully, then walked out of the courtyard, took the lantern from the clerk and left.

　I took out the dream and hung it on the old window, watching it being blown away by the night wind and drifting into the world.
