Mu Yan was menacing, and after a few moves to stab the young man defenselessly, he retreated again and again. However, the young man was not angry, but his eyes lit up, and he looked at Mu Yan in surprise: "Where did you come from? Why haven't I seen it? I thought that my martial arts were the best among people in my generation in Dingjiang!"

"Hmph!" Mu Yan glanced at him, his momentum was arrogant, and he opened it with one hand.

The young man was very interested in him, and was about to speak, but there was a hearty shout from behind him--"Little rabbit! I won't cut you today, I'll call you grandma!"

The young man trembled, jumped to his feet, and said to Mu Yan: "I'm sorry, I can't fight with you today, I will definitely accompany you another day!"

"Who wants to fight with you?" Mu Yan sneered and stopped him, "Which hand did you use to fight An Zhi?"

"Anzhi, who is Anzhi?" The young man had no intention of fighting and just wanted to get out, but Mu Yan was ruthless and vicious, and it was difficult to parry for a while. I don't know when there were a lot of people watching the excitement next to him, and there was also a group of people crowded by the window on the second floor of the wine store, knocking melon seeds and looking down, and applauding at the wonderful moment, almost throwing copper plates on the heads of the two of them.

Gu Xuezhou was terrified, "Brother Mu!"

Only then did the young man notice Gu Xuezhou, and immediately understood what Mu Yan meant just now, he looked for a gap, and as soon as the palm wind turned around and hit Gu Xuezhou, Mu Yan was immediately pulled by him and turned to attack and defend. The boy finally found a chance to get out, jumped up, climbed up with the hanging shop signs, jumped into the second floor of the wine shop next to him, startled the people who were watching at the window, and quickly dispersed. Later, if you trample on your tiles, use the money to repair them. ”

After saying that, he rolled over from the window, climbed onto the roof and ran.

Mu Yan glanced at the back of him leaving, turned his head, grabbed Gu Xuezhou's shoulder and looked up and down nervously, "An Zhi, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Gu Xuezhou said, the person who caught the boy had already caught up, it was a white-haired old lady, and she couldn't breathe. Gu Xuezhou looked at Yu Xin and couldn't bear it, "Now only you can help, let's go after that thief!"

Mu Yan frowned.

"Brother Mu!" Gu Xuezhou said anxiously, "If you don't chase after you, you won't be able to catch anyone." ”

If he couldn't match Anzhi, he would never force him, but he had just fought with the boy, and it was obviously very likely that he would be able to catch the boy. Mu Yan had no choice but to turn around and climb up the roof to chase people - the best thing he practiced was light skills. Stepping on the roof, not only could the people below hear not a single movement, but not even a single tile was broken.

After a while, he caught up, and seeing that he was about to be caught, the young man yelled, like a cat that had been stepped on by the tail, and shouted desperately: "Gu Jiaquan! You beat Gu Jiaquan! You are Gu Qinghong's new closed disciple? Since you are Master Gu's apprentice, what are you doing to beat me?"

"You bully women and children, steal people's money, who do you beat if you don't beat you?" Mu Yan said awe-inspiring without blinking.

"I'm wronged! I don't! I'm not a thief! That's my grandmother! She's going to arrest me, and if she catches me, I'll be ruined for the rest of my life!" the boy shouted.

"The ghost only believes that you are talking nonsense!" Mu Yan said, he was already one step away, reached out and grabbed his clothes, the young man turned around and responded, and the two fought from upstairs to downstairs, and after a few delays, the pursuers finally arrived.

Gu Xuezhou felt that the poor white-haired old lady took out a pair of nine-section whips with her hand, crackled through the air, and whipped it hard, the young man was frightened, and there was a mark on the stone slab that was hit on the ground, and he glared, "Grandma, you don't have to do this!"

"Yang Doudou, if the old lady doesn't teach you a lesson, you will have itchy skin! still run, you keep running!" The old lady chased after her sideburns a little scattered, but she saw that she was still with a straight back, a loud voice, and a spirited old lady.

Mu Yan: "......" He doesn't want to care.

Mu Yan glanced left and right, the young man's sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and the old lady also had a pair of heroic sideburns and long eyebrows, the two of them looked five points similar, obviously just like the young man said, they were grandparents and grandchildren.

The young man who was called "Yang Doudou" stiffened his neck, "I won't go back! I don't want to marry a wife! I want to be the number one master in martial arts...... Ahh

The old lady whipped the whip very well, and the boy was whipped so loudly that he tied him up with a few attendants. The young man kept struggling, his face was red, his eyes were full of tears, like a poor man who had been forced to become a prostitute, and his mouth was shouting for help, but to no avail, he was dragged away alive.

Gu Xuezhou also caught up at this time, dumbfounded, and said to Mu Yan at a loss: "How do I think, I don't think this is quite right...... Isn't it better to report to the police? Even if you steal something, you can't use lynching. ”

The owner of the biscuit shop who was watching the bustle on the side said with a smile: "That old lady is the famous Mrs. Cao Bang - Miao Lao'an, nicknamed Cangyan, and the one who was arrested was her grandson Yang Shuo, who is a demon king of the mixed world, known as the little overlord, who used to make trouble every day in the past. …… Haven't you heard of it? It's an out-of-towner?"

Gu Xuezhou said: "We moved here six years ago and live in the south of the city. ”

The owner of the baked cake shop nodded: "That's it, Xiaobawang went out to learn martial arts six or seven years ago, and it's understandable that you haven't heard of it." ”

Dingjiang is the hub wharf from the beginning of the previous dynasty, has a history of hundreds of years, the imperial court relies on the canal to transfer the extra grain from the land of fish and rice in the south to the north, to supply the Beijing division and border defense, this kind of allocation is called Caoyun, many young and strong men and even women in the wharf to carry goods to earn some hard money, at first there is no order, I don't know when someone began to stand up to control and plan these people, and gradually there were gangs, until a hundred years ago there were still gangs, all kinds of melee, from time to time there were fights, especially when the last years of the previous dynasty were chaotic, there were also when the water bandits killed people and crossed the goods。

It was at that time that the old man who unified the gangs along the wharf to establish the Cao Gang appeared, he was a native of Dingjiang, inherited a small gang, upright and loyal, strong in martial arts, known as the Red Lianlong. It is said that he assisted □□ Cheng, once carried the □□ across the river to escape the enemy, is to be unharmed in the later opening of the imperial court after the clean-up, but also took the opportunity to rectify the chaotic gangs, he not only knows martial arts, but also studied, Corporal Lixian invited a gentleman, around the collection and transportation of grain, etc., to create a set of intricate and strict rules, occupying nearly a hundred years in the gray territory, to Yang Shuo, is already the fourth generation.

Speaking of this, Master Gu picked up the tea and took a sip of water, "...... What is this for, you ask?"

Mu Yan said: "I met someone at the dock two days ago, and after a few moves, it was probably that Yang Shuo." ”

"Oh, Yang Shuo is back?" Master Gu said.

"Do you really know him? When I beat him, he yelled that he knew you. ”

"Naturally, I taught him two tricks when he was a child. ”

"Where did he go to learn the arts?"

Master Gu said: "He master, you also know, is Master Jueyuan. ”

As soon as he thought of him, he immediately remembered his eldest apprentice, the fair-skinned and golden-eyed monk, he always remembered that day when he was on the boat, he woke up quietly, the monk sat opposite him, his body did not move at all, raised his eyelashes, and glanced at him, his golden eyes were indescribably weird. Later, when he thought about it, Mu Yan remembered that those eyes were not only golden, but a pin-sized black dot split next to his black pupils...... The man was still a heavy pupil.

"This kid has been a martial arts idiot since he was a child, but he was sick and weak when he was young, and it was not easy to practice martial arts, he came to me to apprentice, I didn't mind accepting apprentices, but his grandmother was unwilling to take him back. I only taught him two sets of healthy boxing techniques to strengthen his body, so he still regarded me as half a master. Later, I don't know where he learned martial arts, and when he was nine years old, he was sick and cured, and he ran away from home and went to Shaolin, in order to learn martial arts, he was willing to even shave his ordination, but because the old lady did not succeed in blocking it, he led the practice in Shaolin Temple, and Master Jueyuan did not hide his selfishness and taught him. Master Gu continued, pausing and calculating, "...... No wonder he came back, this kid is sixteen this year and is about to be seventeen, he shouldn't be willing to take the initiative to go down the mountain so early, it is estimated that Miao Lao'an used some means to trick him back, asking him to marry a wife and have children to inherit the family business. ”

Mu Yan now feels irritated when he hears about marrying a wife and having children or something, and because of the same disease, he doesn't hate this Yang Doudou so much for a while.

A few days later, on the day of the mid-month holiday, Mu Yan came to visit at the invitation of a classmate surnamed Ye.

It is rare for Brother Mu to go to the same school, and he is still a young master of an official family, Gu Xuezhou couldn't help but be a little nervous, and prepared gifts and made new clothes for Zhang Luo, for fear that he would lose someone.

Mu Yan didn't care, and persuaded: "I'm just a guest, I'm already handsome enough, if I dress up again, wouldn't it be to overshadow the limelight of the host's family, and the gift doesn't have to be too expensive, just be rude." Otherwise, if you go to visit or go to someone else's house in the future, you can't prepare such a good gift for the first time, and others will think that you are despising him, but you will offend people. ”

When Gu Xuezhou heard this, he prepared it with Brother Mu'er. Mu Ge'er wore a half-old moon-white moire Hangzhou silk robe, a silver hairpin, foundation boots, and a box of tea as a gift, and went out in a dashing manner.

Gu Xuezhou saw it and thought to himself, fortunately, he didn't prepare new clothes for Brother Mu, old clothes are like this when worn casually, if he is specially dressed, won't he definitely steal the limelight?

After Mu Yan arrived at Ye Mansion, he carefully noticed that something was wrong, and he was the only one waiting for the left and right. Ye Dechang said slowly, I only invited Mu Yan to enjoy the flowers alone, didn't I tell you? Ah, I seem to have forgotten, sorry, sorry, but brother, I have flowers and wine here, and I am accompanied by beautiful maids, which is not bad.

The handmaid with a pink face and peach cheeks has a slender waist, and when she bends down to pour wine for Mu Yan, a deep snow-white ravine at the bandeau of the full-breasted skirt leads people to reverie, and she tilts the wine jug, and pours clear wine into the white porcelain cup, Mu Yan does not squint, and subconsciously frowns, wanting to sneeze, what kind of incense powder does this woman use, the taste is really strong and pungent, and it smells tight.

Mu Yan became vigilant, he thought about something, and drank the wine directly, thinking: What does this guy want to do when he coaxes me here? I just don't know what he's planning......

Ye Dechang saw Mu Yan's watch from the beginning to the end, these two beauties are his two favorite beauties, in the past, when his other friends came to his house, they couldn't help but look at it twice, but Mu Yan was able to do it without looking at it more. If he finds a fox friend and a dog friend, he will feel bored with this kind of person, but this is picking a brother-in-law, it is better to be so honest and abstinent, and then he can be devoted to his sister. Moreover, Mu Yan drank all at once when he drank, and there was almost no taste, which shows that he is not a person who likes to pick and choose.

Not bad. Not bad. Ye Dechang clapped his hands, the maidservant whispered, and he explained softly.

If it were others, they might not be able to hear him, but Mu Yan is a person who practices martial arts, his five senses are sensitive, his eyes are bright and his ears are deaf, and he reads his lips and hears them, and knows what he confesses-"I will lead people to the flower hall, you can go and call Mrs. to wait there." ”

Mrs. Ye Dechang's mother? Mu Yan didn't understand at all. When you are a guest at someone's house, you naturally want to visit this elder, shouldn't you have to greet him as soon as you come? I didn't need it just now, but now I need it again, what is the reason? Now let my wife wait in the flower hall, which means that I didn't mean this before, I look down on him, I don't know what happened in the middle, I turn to value him.

Mu Yan couldn't think about it, and then Ye Dechang said that he didn't want to disturb his mother before, and his mother knew that there were guests who had always come and wanted to entertain him.

Ye Dechang's mother sat high in the hall, wearing a grape purple calamus pattern makeup gown, wearing a pair of red gold and red agate heads, and a red jade bracelet and a gemstone ring on her hand, which was very rich. Mu Yan thought of her mother, Mrs. Li, who was really rich than rich, but she had never dressed up like this...... It is eye-catching, but it looks arrogant and vulgar.

Mu Yan didn't know that this was originally deliberately done by others, in order to let him know how powerful the Ye family was, so that he would be ashamed of himself, bow down to his subordinates, and let them handle it.

Mrs. Ye still has a few choices in her hands, she was not enthusiastic about Mu Yan before, and felt that her daughter deserved better, but she came to see it because her son strongly recommended it. Her son led a young man of his height into the house, and as soon as the young man appeared, he gave the illusion of illuminating the room...... It is said that she thinks that her son is also upright and handsome, but compared with this young man, he has been completely compared, and probably the likes of Pan An and Song Yu mentioned in the book are nothing more than that. But seeing his beautiful and beautiful appearance, his eyebrows were full of energy, and he couldn't tell that he was a businessman and a commoner, but like a noble son who had been raised in a big family since he was a child.

Mrs. Ye asked Mu Yan with a smile, and gave him a clear mud inkstone, which looked quite satisfied.

After Mu Yan left, a little girl came out from behind the screen, moved lightly, walked to Mrs. Ye's side, and called coquettishly: "Mother~"

Ye Dechang came back after sending Mu Yan away, and when he saw his mother and sister leaning together and talking, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "My virtuous brother is not bad, right? I've seen him for a long time, and he's not a snarky person, and he's not greedy for women...... How?"

The little girl blushed: "I look at him very well." ”

Ye Dechang couldn't help but tease: "Yo, you turned your elbow outward so quickly, do you think people are good-looking?"

The little girl was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground and get into it.

Although this young man is amazing, it is a pity that his family background is really not good, no matter how good his skin is, Mrs. Ye took pity on her daughter and was afraid that she would suffer, and said quietly: "Let's take a look first, Nan Nan is still young...... There are still a few months before the college exam, and to see what results he can get, he will know whether it is really a good material. ”

*

In terms of feelings/things, Mu Yan is still half-understood. In the past, he helped his classmates copy books, but he inadvertently sandwiched two pictures of the Spring Palace, and when he saw it, he only felt that it was no wonder that this person did not read as well as him.

Now because of his age, family affairs should be put on the agenda, and after being told a few times by An Zhi, he also began to think about it, but he didn't want to get married at all...... Not only now, but also in the future, he doesn't want to get married.

When he was at Ye's house, he didn't react at first, and then when he came to the flower hall, he was asked a few words of family homework by Mrs. Ye, and then saw a skirt on the foot of the screen, peachy pink, which is usually worn by young women. When it comes to this, no matter how stupid he is, he understands what is going on, and he dares to look at his son-in-law. No, it's picking on him.

Looking at the attitude of the Ye family, he didn't like him much, as if he wanted to cling to him.

It's funny. Mu Yan didn't tear his face with this Brother Ye Ren, said goodbye angrily, turned his head and decided that he had to break with this person, he had to be careful in the future, he couldn't enter the trap anymore, he was angry with An Zhi that day.

As soon as he got home, Gu Xuezhou actively stepped forward, and when he saw his expression, he asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Mu Yan's heart suddenly became hot, and he blurted out, "His family seems to want me to be their son-in-law, so he asked me to come to show him." ”

I didn't reveal the slightest meaning in advance, and I deceived people to look at each other, and it was not a solemn respect to think about it. No wonder Brother Mu is unhappy. Gu Xuezhou was stunned for a moment, panicked inexplicably, and a wry smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Blame me for burdening you." A talent like you is despised by people, but since people can find you......" He thought about it, the people he knew were all people of the three sects and nine streams, even if it was Li Niangzi, he was just a businessman, and Mu Ge'er was a scholar, so he might be worthy of a better one.

Seeing that he didn't refute, Mu Yan was still a little willing, so he was angry, "Are you so impatient to ask me to marry and want to kick me out?"

Gu Xuezhou was only a little hesitant, and before he finished speaking, he was scolded by Brother Mu'er, and he was stunned, "Ah? No...... Brother Mu?"

Mu Yan said with a dark face: "Don't always call me Brother Mu, one moment he says that I can marry a wife, and another time he calls me like this as if I am still a child." ”

Over the years, why Brother Mu is angry, Gu Xuezhou can probably understand it at a glance. But recently, he has become more and more unable to understand his little beauty, it is too uncertain, and after thinking about it, it was also elusive when the eldest brother was his age. Anyway, no matter what, if Brother Mu is angry, he will be the first to follow the hair, Gu Xuezhou hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Brother Mu ......" After speaking, he was stunned.

Mu Yan threw his sleeves and left, so angry that he didn't talk to him all day. What he was most angry about was that he didn't know what he was angry for, in short, Gu Xuezhou had always made him very angry recently.

The next day, I went to Master Gu's house to practice, and as soon as I arrived, I buried my head in hitting the wooden stake, and it was a slap, and the harder you worked, the harder it was to deal with it, and the faster he hit, the faster the stake turned, and the heavier the rebound.

In the end, he couldn't cope with the beating, so he stopped for a while, sweating profusely.

"Why are you like you're going mad?" a voice came from the wall.

Mu Yan raised his head and saw a young man sitting on the wall, it was Yang Shuo, the young gang leader of the Cao Gang who was caught by him on the street some time ago. He was so engrossed in the fight just now that he didn't notice that another person was coming, Mu Yan frowned, "Why are you here?"

Yang Shuo was a brainless person, and he trembled when he opened his mouth, "You also saw my grandmother's posture that day? She insisted that I marry a wife, so I had to hide, Master Gu is really a good person and took me in." ”

Mu Yan was silent and said, "You can't hide for a while." ”

Yang Shuo grinned: "Don't be afraid, I wrote to find my senior brother to save me, and when he comes and takes me away, then we will hide in the mountains, and we will not be afraid." ”

Mu Yan always felt ...... I always feel that there is something wrong with this? Why does it sound like elopement?
