Chapter 60: Drunken Clouds in Distress
At noon on this day, the golden crow hung high and the sun was shining. The sun shines on the edge of the window, which makes people feel comfortable, and there are still wisps of snowflakes floating outside the window, and the surrounding area is white, although it is not extremely cold, but there is still a faint chill invading.
Zuiyun Tower is a well-known restaurant in the vicinity, the building is two floors high, carved railings and painted buildings, very ancient. It is said that this building was built in the Song Dynasty, and it has not fallen down after many years of war, and it is a major landscape of Beiping City. Because of its proximity to Shichahai, it is quite popular among literati and artists. The dishes here are excellent, but not mentioned, and the osmanthus wine is a must. Because the taste is excellent and it is not easy to get drunk, it has become the signature of Zuiyun Building.
But when it comes to good wine, I have to talk about another one, and that is shochu. The climate in the north is cold, and it is even more unbearable in the middle of winter, so not only ordinary people, but also high-ranking officials and nobles often drink alcohol to ward off the cold. The soju here is cellared for several years before it is sealed, because the wine has a strong aroma, but it is not spicy and heartburn.
At noon today, Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu knew that the Wang brothers and sisters were about to go south, so they saw off the two of them in this Zuiyun Tower. The four of them sat at the window on the second floor, talking. Zhang Fu said: "Mr. has already sent the Li family brothers and sisters back to Nanjing, why did you go south again?" Yuxuan picked up the wine glass, took a sip of himself, and said: "Master said that Senior Brother Li Mao and Senior Sister Lan'er seem to be together, let us go south to congratulate, by the way, my sister will take over the position of the master of the Fengmen Gate, and by the way, stay by Senior Sister Lan'er to learn medical skills." ”
Zhu Yong clapped his hands and smiled: "Lan'er is a great beauty, who of us didn't blush back then? Senior Brother Li Mao, this can be regarded as the first moon near the water!" Zhang Fu listened to him laugh, but ignored him, and then asked: "So, Mr. has a plan?" Yu Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't know what Master's intentions are." Anyway, he's been so busy lately that he doesn't have time to take care of us. ”
"Oh!" Zhang Fu said suspiciously: "I have only been away from Guiwang City for a few months, is there anything in the city?" Yumo said: "Recently, the number of residents in the city has increased greatly, and the master will return to the people and horses, according to their strengths, arrange their positions separately, and establish four battalions of Tiger Vision, Eagle Yang, Dragon Yin, and Feng Ming. Just in case, Stonehenge was placed in front of the mountain. In addition, the master has reached the peak of refining the gods, so he has to retreat and practice. ”
"In this way, Mr. is really busy!" Zhang Fu frowned and said: "Among the eight gates, the master of the four gates is in Nanjing, this ......" Yu Xuan waved his hand and said: "Senior brother don't worry, the master has his own ideas, let's not worry so much!" Zhang Fu sighed: "Little junior brother doesn't know, the master of the eight gates, four doors are in Nanjing, two doors are in Beiping, if there is something, how to help?" Yu Xuan pointed at him and laughed laughingly: "Senior brother is only counted as heads, why don't you count the thousand elite horses under your command?" Besides, Master watched the stars at night and found that the crape myrtle star was dim, and I was afraid that there would be a big event in Nanjing, so I asked me to go south to check it too, otherwise I would not be running around at this New Year's Festival!"
Zhu and Zhang glanced at each other, let out a sigh of relief, and said with peace of mind: "I see!" Yu Xuan sighed again: "Alas! You also know that since Shaharu left Guiwang City a few months ago, no one has played with me. Master saw that I was bored and let me out of the mountain. Yumo sneered and said, "Obviously, I saw that you were always making trouble in the city, so I threw you out!" Yu Xuan said angrily: "You still say me, aren't you the same?
Yumo slapped the table, and his face was full of anger: "You can say it! Why don't you say it...... Huh......" Yumo suddenly quieted down, pondered for a while, and suddenly clapped his hands as if he realized it: "It turns out that it was the master's fault for saying it for a long time! We were scolded and wronged by our sister!" She grabbed Yuxuan's shoulder and shook it, and said anxiously: "It turns out that we were wronged." Yuxuan rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you say that you were wronged when you played?" Yumo heard this, lowered his head, and said a little shyly: "When I was playing, I only cared about being happy, and I didn't have time to shout wronged." ”
When Zhang Fu heard that they were out of the city like this, he immediately patted his chest, and finally put his mind at ease, and couldn't help but think secretly: "Mr. must have sent them to harm those people in Nanjing City, it seems that we are too worried!"
When she climbed the stairs alone, it was splendid, and I saw her holding on to the stairs and looking around. When he saw the person at Yuxuan's table, he suddenly clapped his hands and laughed: "Great, today's lunch has been settled!" After speaking, he spread his feet and ran over. She hugged Yu Xuan's arm and laughed grinningly, "Little brother, can you invite us to dinner?"
Yu Xuan saw that it was this little girl again, and felt that it was very fateful, so he immediately nodded and smiled: "Okay, where is your brother?" Jinxiu pointed to the staircase and said in a muffled voice: "There!" But seeing Guichen and Yisu standing at the staircase, he didn't speak, looking at this side and frowning slightly. Yuxuan beckoned and said, "Guichen, come and eat together!" Guichen stood still, looked around, and when he saw that Yumo was also there, he hesitated for a while before saying, "It's okay, save trouble!"
After Guichen sat down, he smiled at a few people: "In that case, our brothers and sisters will disturb you today." But it was said that the table was full of teenagers, only Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong were slightly older, Zhang Fu looked at it for a long time, and suddenly whispered to Yu Xuan: "Look at this child, he is not very old, but he is quite sophisticated, and his voice and appearance are somewhat similar to Mr. ”
Yu Xuan stared at him for a while, and saw that he had a bit of a windy appearance between his eyebrows, and asked casually: "Guichen, what is your surname?" Guichen was slightly stunned, and after a while, he slowly shook his head: "My father is just an ordinary farmer, there is nothing to say! Please forgive a few big brothers!"
Although Guichen is young, he has been following the old monk for a long time, and he already knows how to observe words and feelings, and he can't help but smile bitterly when he sees this situation: "A few big brothers, I'm really sorry, the master has a life, don't tell people about his father's name!" Yumo rolled his eyes and asked with a smile: "Then who is your master?" Our master is an old monk!"
"Is it an old monk, or is it an old monk?" Zhang Fu hurriedly asked. This question was a little strange, and Yu Xuan was also puzzled, and quickly turned his head to look at him. Zhang Fu explained in a low voice: "The old monk is one of the six grandmasters today, if they are the apprentices of the old monk, then they are the children of the masters. Yu Xuan smiled and asked, "Has the commander ever come with you?"
Yisu was on the side, his eyes were slightly red, he lowered his head and cried: "Master left us and ran away!" Guichen kicked him and said hatefully: "It's a little bit out of breath, okay! Just run away and find it back, what are you crying about?" Yisu pointed at him, jumped to his feet and scolded: "It's all your fault, Master asked you to practice, and every time you say that you don't like to practice, just practice the text." That's what made Master angry. ”
Guichen glanced at him and asked strangely: "Hey, isn't it because you are so lazy to eat, you don't practice every day, you eat too much, and you eat all the masters poor, so he ran away?" Yisu blushed slightly, tilted his head and asked Jinxiu: "Jinxiu, you say, who do you believe in the two of us?" Jinxiu looked at his face seriously, and said in a greasy voice: "Of course I believe in Brother Guichen, look at your fat appearance!" Yisu waved his hands, sat down with his ass, and cried: "You two have joined forces to bully me, and I want to sue my mother." ”
"Go, go, go! Anyway, it's me who hurts my mother the most, so she doesn't bother to pay attention to you!" Jinxiu said loudly. wiped her tears, raised her head and explained: "No, the last time my mother came to see us, she also said that I was the most hurtful person." When Jinxiu heard him talk about this, he seemed to be in a bad mood, and hurriedly ran over, kicked his feet straight over, and scolded in his mouth: "Tell you to talk more, you talk again, talk more!" For a while, I only saw that a millet was beaten like a rolling gourd, rolling left and right.
At this moment, it is noon, and there are many people eating on the second floor, so there are about ten tables. For a while, everyone was a little dumbfounded, but Guichen was accustomed to it, and he looked at the table slowly, and said to Xiao Er, who ran the hall: "Come over, let's order food!"
The two children heard the word order, hurriedly turned over, surrounded the dust on the left and right, and said loudly: "I want to eat poured mandarin ducks, sea cucumbers, and assorted pots." Yisu drooled, there were tears in the corners of his eyes, and he said vaguely: "Dongpo elbow, Dongpo meat, and P County dog meat, stewed whole chicken, fairy duck, osmanthus fish!" Everyone was a little stunned when they heard them say a lot of things like the name of the dish.
The runner came over to see that there were only three children ordering, and I don't know who can settle the bill when the food comes up in a while. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Three little guest officers, this store has always been a rule and does not owe credit, I wonder if a few of them can settle the bill first?" He didn't know what the relationship between the people at the same table was with them, so it was not good to talk too much.
Guichen glanced at him obliquely, and said with a smile: "Are you afraid that we will eat the overlord meal and not give you the money for the meal?" He looked around, saw that everyone's eyes were indifferent, shook his head and smiled: "You go and call the shopkeeper, I have something to say to him." Everyone saw that although his clothes were gorgeous, they were quite shabby, and they couldn't think of why he said that, could it be that the two had known each other before?
Seeing Xiao Er's hesitation, he said with a smile: "You go and call it, if there is any problem, I will bear it for you." The little two hesitated for a long time, and finally moved forward. When everyone saw that this boy was calm and sophisticated, they knew that he must have something to rely on, and perhaps the people at the table would help him out of the siege, so everyone looked forward to it, hoping to see this rare scene.
A burst of footsteps came, and the shopkeeper of Zuiyun Building led Xiao Er up. I saw that his face was gloomy, and I thought that this little two was joking with him! The shopkeeper was about fifty years old, with a beard of half a foot, and although his face was kind, it was full of anger. The shopkeeper saw that there was an adult, so he arched his hand and said: "Zhao Xin, the shopkeeper of Zuiyun Building, has seen all the sages, I don't know who ordered?" Guichen raised his hand and signaled: "I'll order!"
Zhao Xin looked around the table and saw that everyone nodded, so he said: "Our store does have a rule that you can't pay on credit, please forgive me, children." Guichen listened to his call, his face was dark, and he shouted: "Who do you call a child?" Zhao Xin was slightly stunned, I don't know why he suddenly turned his face because of this, and could only laugh softly: "Little Lao'er has a lot of offense between his words, please don't blame him." When Guichen heard him say this, he smiled slightly: "I don't eat overlord meals, but I don't have the money to pay the bill." The little two pointed at him and said to Zhao Xin: "Shopkeeper, look, I didn't lie to you!" Zhao Xin ignored him, and only said: "Then the little brother invited a few friends to meet the money?"
Guichen didn't speak, only lifted the torn robe slightly, revealing the objects tied around his waist, the shopkeeper glanced at it, his expression changed, and then he suddenly smiled on his face, and asked respectfully: "The dishes ordered by the little young master, the villain immediately asked people to prepare, I don't know if you need anything else?" Guichen waved his hand: "This is not necessary, make us three bowls of Yangchun noodles, a basket of steamed buns, and a few more baked cakes, a few dishes of food!" Everyone didn't know why this shopkeeper was so respectful, could it be that he saw something terrible?
Zhao Xin didn't know what he meant by this, and he was a little stunned for a while. Jinxiu on the side heard him say so simply, and immediately shook his arm and said coquettishly: "Don't! I don't eat steamed buns, I don't eat Yangchun noodles, brother, you can order something else!" Yisu also shook his head again and again, and said angrily: "Okay, you are returning to the dust, this is deliberately revenge on us, right?" Guichen nodded, and said with a serious face: "Well! If you are hungry and thin, you will have no strength to make a fuss!"
Jinxiu wiped her tears, and while crying, she pointed to Guichen and said to Yisu: "Big brother, why don't we kill him? After thinking for a while, he nodded solemnly and said, "Well, it's good to die!" said that he was really going to beat someone with his hands on his sleeves.
"This ......" Zhao Xin looked at the scene in front of him and didn't know what to do, but Guichen was not afraid, and sighed leisurely: "Alas, if you kill me, I will give the token out." Let's starve to death together!" Yisu heard the word starvation, pressed his hand, and cried: "Don't! Let's stop fighting, let's eat first!" Jinxiu saw that he had compromised so quickly, and immediately crossed his waist and scolded angrily: "Phew! Yisu is a traitor!" Yisu turned his head and said with a sad face: "Alas! Losing control is small, starving to death is big, or let's go from it!" Jinxiu heard this, but he was angry in his heart, and grabbed him and beat him violently.
Guichen was not in a hurry, pointed to Yuxuan's table, and said to Zhao Xin: "Don't charge money at this table, just count it on my account." Zhao Xin agreed, turned around and went to work.
After such a fuss, everyone thought that these three children were a little strange. Guichen didn't have time to pay attention, and smiled at a few people: "Our brothers and sisters are new to this place, and we are not familiar with the place. Today, I'll be the east, invite a few brothers and sisters to have a light meal, and make friends!" Yu Xuan frowned and asked, "Fang just called you Feng Guichen, your surname is Feng?" Guichen laughed and asked rhetorically: "Have you ever seen the surname Feng?"
Yu Xuan nodded solemnly and said, "Naturally, who are you?" Yu Xuan and his party repeatedly asked about their surnames, and the three siblings were silent, perhaps there was something strange about it. Guichen ignored them, turned back to Xiao Er and said, "You will send someone to the city to check in a while to see if there is a tall old monk who has been in and out today, and as soon as there is news, report it to me immediately." The little two nodded yes, and went downstairs in three or two steps.
At this time, a few people came up to him and said to Guichen: "We have seen the person you are looking for." Everyone looked up and saw a few people dressed in Dongying costumes, with strange hair ornaments on their heads, and they couldn't help but feel a little worried. Zhang Fu said in a low voice: "It's a Japanese man!" The leading Japanese man smiled and said, "This morning, when our mission entered the city, we did see a tall monk, and there was no deception!" Guichen frowned and asked, "Then do you know where he is now?"
The leader bowed his head and whispered, "I know, I know, but so many people are afraid that it is a little bad to hear it." Please also move to the stairs. "Guichen knows that the old monk has always behaved grotesquely, and if he goes to any fireworks and willow lane, it is also very usual. But if this person said it in public, he was afraid that he would not look good on his face, after all, he was young and tender, and nodded and said, "It's okay!" Jinxiu saw that Pingbai had the whereabouts of the master, and his heart was happy, so he also followed. Yisu and the two have always been good, and the three of them have always said that they will not leave the stone, so they also followed.
A few people came to the staircase, and the widow lowered his head and attached himself to Guichen's ear, and said softly: "That monk is in the ......" Guichen listened to him and his voice was as thin as a mosquito's chirping, which was not real, and he was about to ask. Suddenly, a scream came from his ears, only to hear Jinxiu shouting in fear: "Brother, ......" Guichen was startled, and was about to turn his head to look, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He turned his head to look, and saw the leader of the Japanese people with a sinister smile on his face, holding Jinxiu in his right hand, and striking him in the chest with half a palm and half a claw in his left hand. Guichen only heard a crisp sound, felt that his sternum was broken, and the person had flown out like a cloud, he was worried about his sister's safety, and he fainted in a hurry.
Yisu screamed, and saw Jinxiu's head lowered, not knowing life and death, and Guichen was beaten again, and fainted to the ground. hurriedly punched out, but his practice of Xuangong was short, and his stature was insufficient, but he was kicked in the chest by the man, flew out upside down, and broke the handrail of the stairs. Yu Xuan heard the scream, and was the first to react, and slapped the table with his left hand, and the person had already flown up, as if two feet away, he had already slapped out with one palm.
The man seemed to know that it was powerful, and with the force under his feet, the man had swept backwards and flew down the stairs to the first floor. Yu Xuan hurriedly chased after him. The Japanese people followed a chain of steps, and they arrived at the door in a few clicks. But as soon as he got out of the door, he saw Zhang Fu and Yumo standing in front of him with their hands behind their backs. He knew that the situation was critical at the moment, so he immediately turned around and drew his knife, shouting in his mouth: "Ruthless slash!" This person's sword aura was fierce and domineering, and the bluestone street was actually marked with a trace that was more than two feet long.
He took advantage of Zhang Fu and Yumo to dodge, turned his feet, and hurriedly ran towards the street on the right. Seeing this, Zhang Fu hurriedly said: "Don't let him run away, if you go to the street, there are too many pedestrians to stop him!" Yumo didn't wait for him to finish speaking, the person had already swept away, only to see her right hand wave, and a fine light flashed in her sleeve, like a green dragon out of a hole, and a flexible short sword flew out.
Yumo stretched out his hand and held it, and the blade of the sword immediately trembled, and the sword light flashed like a pond rippling, but it was Wang Aya's talisman sword-Qiushui Sword. It turned out that Wang Aya knew that her younger brothers and sisters had just entered the rivers and lakes, and just in case, she actually gave her talisman sword to Yumo. I just saw that her face was like frost, holding a sword in her right hand, and she came with her, and the water sword in her hand seemed to fall from the sky, slashing straight at the person's right hand.
The widow didn't expect her to be so young, and her martial arts were so strong, not only her body skills were incredibly fast, but her swordsmanship was even better. The Japanese hurriedly turned to meet the enemy, and this turn just avoided the right hand and Jinxiu, but the left hand was sent to the opponent's sword. Yumo was merciless, and cut off his arm with a sword. The man roared in pain, saw the cold sweat on his forehead, took two steps back, gritted his teeth, and threw his right hand back violently.
In an instant, the splendid was thrown up two feet high. Seeing this, Yumo hurriedly showed his skills and flew to catch it, seeing that he was about to catch it. Suddenly, a fast horse galloped past and caught Jinxiu first. The horse was carrying a man on his back, who was dressed in a black suit and covered with a black veil, and he glanced at his head and urged the horse forward. Zhang Fu was on the side, seeing that he was coming strangely, and when he was stunned, the bluestone slab suddenly shattered into pieces, and his toes kicked a piece of broken stone the size of a fist, and the stone flew like lightning, shooting directly at the hind hooves of the horse. The stone was so powerful that after a sharp sound, the horse's hind hooves were cut off by the stone, and then it could not stand, and then it fell down.
At the moment, the street is approaching, and there are more and more pedestrians. The man in black was on a horse, her figure flew over, and she fell lightly, looking at her graceful and slender figure, she was a woman. Yumo kept under his feet, and it came in a blink of an eye, like a flying fairy outside the sky, shooting straight away. The Autumn Water Sword went straight through the shoulder of the man in black. The man in black was really hard, and he was still standing after this blow. She slapped out her left hand, forcing Yumo to retreat, and turned around as soon as she retreated, seeing that she was seriously injured, and holding another person in her arms, she still walked like a fly, never stopped.
Suddenly, a figure appeared diagonally opposite, but it was Yuxuan who arrived. When he saw the other party coming, he shouted in a deep voice: "Stop!" He shook his hand and struck it with a palm, but this move was the "dense clouds and no rain" in the eighteen palms of the dragon, this move was both offensive and defensive, and the momentum was fierce. The man in black didn't expect that there was an ambush here, and he was caught off guard. For a while, I saw her backhand slap out, but she didn't want the other party's palm to be strong, and the strength was amazing. The two palms were handed over, and her arms were discounted when she landed, but with the power of this palm, she just escaped from the encirclement of the three and landed at the corner of the street.
Seeing that the other party could not pursue, the man in black laughed and shouted: "Go back and tell Feng Linyuan that if his daughter is fine, he will rush to Nanjing within seven days." The three of them were shocked when they heard this, and they didn't want this girl to really have something to do with Feng Linyuan.
"Hey!" Yumo saw her run away, and felt strange, why did these people take Jinxiu away at the risk of their lives. I saw the man in black run to the main street, and in the blink of an eye, he was gone. Zhang Fu took out a bamboo tube from his arms and pointed to the sky, and a huge firework bloomed in the sky, although it was daylight, it was still dazzling.
Yumo didn't understand what he meant, turned his head to look at him, and Zhang Fu explained: "This person's martial arts may not be very high, but his light body kung fu is really good, and he can't catch up with her in a hurry." But you don't have to worry, I have ordered all the troops to guard the city gate and search strictly, and I will never let her escape!" Yumo nodded, and suddenly woke up and said, "Oh!
"Don't worry!" Zhang Fu said to her, "Brother Zhu is already taking care of him!" said the three of them and prepared to go back. Yu Xuan said strangely: "Hey, what about the Japanese people?" The three of them looked at it in a blink of an eye, only to see that the surroundings were empty, leaving only a pool of blood, and the Japanese people did not know when they had left.
When I returned to Zuiyun Tower, I saw that the upstairs had been cleaned up. Guichen and Yisu were carried to the upper room for treatment, and Zhao Xin was outside the door, pacing back and forth, looking restless. As soon as he saw the three of them coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Where is the young lady?"
Yu Xuan frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" Zhao Xin slowly got up and said with a sad face: "Miss Jinxiu is the old city lord's favorite granddaughter, she was robbed in the villain's place, and the villain will never be forgiven. With the temper of the old city lord, he must have killed the villain!"
Zhang Fu stretched out his hand to stop him, interrupted him to continue speaking, and asked directly: "Are they really Mr.'s children?" Zhao Xin nodded and said, "Yes, my uncle is what you call Mr. Feng." What the young master showed to the villain today is the order of the city lord of Happy City, which is only available to the city lord's family. Several people glanced at each other, and suddenly felt that their heads were big.
Yu Xuan looked at the door and asked, "How is Yisu and Guichen?" Zhao Xin shook his head and sighed: "Young Master Yisu is not a big problem, but Young Master Guichen is highly poisonous in his body, and his sternum is broken. My sister and I were about to go south, so we set off immediately, just along the road to find out the whereabouts of Jinxiu; Shopkeeper Zhao took care of Guichen and Yisu here, and by the way, we found all the medicines and other items we needed; and my brother immediately notified Master to come and look for the traces of the old monk. ”
After hearing what he said carefully, they all nodded and agreed, and went to prepare.
