Chapter 65: Yang Wei Martial Arts Pavilion
Seeing that the sky was already white, the big guys got up one by one, finished washing, and gathered in Li Qing's room to discuss.
Halfway through the hour, Gao Dalin simply took a bite of something and stood at the door of the room shouting the name of the housekeeper Tian Zhong. There was not much time, and a middle-aged man hurriedly ran along the corridor, followed by a few family members, holding large bags of things in their hands.
"How's it going? Everything is ready?" Gao Dalin's tone was a little anxious and a little urgent.
"It's all ready, but the goat soufflé that Miss loves can't be bought, since the martial arts people came in a few days ago, there was a lot of depression outside, and many things are not easy to buy. The man introduced Gao Dalin in the same way, and did not forget to tell Gao Dalin about the situation outside.
Sighing, Gao Dalin knew that half of what the housekeeper said was the truth, and half of it was because of his own reasons, and many people were unwilling to sell it to themselves even if they had something. Forget it, let's go and see Yu Niang and Lan'er first, after all, there are only two days in a month to meet.
Lai Qingzhu sat at home behind closed doors, the barbarian named Hu Yanwu had sent people to come a few times, and the conditions were getting higher and higher, the earliest time he came with a cash box, but now it is not so vulgar, I don't know where to find out about his preferences, and he sent books instead. It's good to send books, Lai Qingzhu didn't refuse again, he really loves good books, but the books are accepted, but people still haven't taken a step out of the door.
Early in the morning, Li Qing and Lianhua left the house with a letter written by Hong Xin. Although Chuyi is not big, but there are more than 100,000 people outside the city, the enemy wants to be stable, and it is definitely not possible to rely on the barbarians alone, just chatting with Hong Xin for a while, Li Qing decided to find Lai Qingzhu, who is known as the wind and bone of Chuyi, although he has no power to restrain the chicken, but it is the banner of this Chuyi, and even half of Qingshan County, the banner of integrity and wind bones, and now that Chuyi has fallen, this flag must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the enemy.
Walking on Wutang Street, many of the storefronts here are closed doors, this early morning, the sun is good, it is the time of high autumn weather, there are not many pedestrians on the street, the barbarians of Shanrong have entered the city, many people can cats at home, no one wants to come out.
On this somewhat deserted street, there was a sudden commotion among the few people, and the people in front suddenly dodged to the sides, as if to avoid something, shrunk on the side of the road one by one, talking to each other, pointing and pointing.
Looking forward along the long street, a young girl in green clothes carried a basket in her hand, walking forward in a puff of anger, followed by a young man, the man chased closely behind the girl, his face was full of embarrassment, but he still kept persuading something, and then a group of soldiers with guns followed behind.
"Get out of the way—" The girl was impatiently chased, stopped and turned to the young man and shouted at him, "If you are willing to recognize the thief as your father, Master and I can't control you, but Master is not in good health, if you have a little conscience, can you be considerate and considerate of Master, and let us have a few days of peace?" The girl almost cried at the end.
The young man was about to say something, but suddenly he was pushed from behind and staggered, turned around and was about to have a seizure, when he saw the comer, he immediately wilted, bent down and laughed with him, and retreated to the side, but the expression on his face suddenly became nervous.
"Shadow Bamboo Girl?" A brocade-robed scholar shaking a folding fan didn't look at the man on the side, just stared at the girl, with a smile on his face, looking very kind.
Li Qing also stopped with the crowd, just now he felt anger and contempt on the faces of the people on the side of the road, and secretly found someone to ask, it turned out that the girl was the closed disciple of Wei Duxing, the head of the third class of Chuyi, and that man was also Wei Duxing's proud protégé, Zheng Yu, the current head catcher of Chuyi. A few days ago, Shan Rong attacked, Lord Hong fought against the enemy in blood, the original situation was not too bad, but suddenly one day Wei Duxing was in charge of guarding the West Gate suddenly fell, after the fight Wei Duxing disappeared, replaced by the Zheng Yu in front of him. As for the brocade-robed scholar, many people on the side of the road didn't seem to know him. Li Qing's heart moved, listening to the meaning of this person, then Wei Duxing was in some collusion with the thieves of Shanrong, but why did the girl seem to be extremely disgusted with her senior brother? Could it be that there is something hidden here? Li Qing has experienced too much in the past six months, and he will not easily make up his mind when encountering problems.
"Who are you?" Li Qing was thinking, when he suddenly heard the girl's voice sound, and when he looked up, the girl looked guarded, her eyes were firmly fixed on the scholar, her feet were nailed to the ground one after the other, her body was tense, and she seemed to be ready to do it at any time.
"Senior sister, this is Helian Gongzi, a close friend of Master Wu. Seeing the girl's appearance, Zheng Yu hurriedly stepped forward to introduce, cautiously peeked at the scholar, his face was full of sneers, and suddenly saw the scholar's face cold, hurriedly closed his mouth, and retreated with his head down. Flying
"Shadow Bamboo Girl," the scholar turned around and took a brocade box from the hand of a maidservant, gently opened it and held it in his hand, and immediately a burst of fragrance spread across the long street, "This is a snowy ice lotus from Yanzhi Mountain, which is extremely good for the injury of the Venerable Master." The scholar held the brocade box, and when he saw that the girl did not come forward to take it, he thought about it and turned around and handed it to Zheng Yu who was standing aside, and then turned back to look at the girl, "Can the girl take me to visit the Venerable Master?" You can rest assured, Helian is just a cloth cloth, and he is only going to say a few words to the old man Wei, and I have already prepared the medicine here, so the girl doesn't have to work hard to run again." ”
"Of course, of course. Before the girl could speak, Zheng Yu on the side had already said yes one after another, stretched out her hand and pushed the girl, and took care of herself to lead the way in front.
The girl raised her leg and took half a step, as if she wanted to stop it, but she glanced at the brocade box in Zheng Yu's hand, and as if she couldn't make up her mind, she lowered her head and spat hatefully, stomped her foot, gritted her teeth and followed behind. Seeing the group gradually walking away, the people on both sides breathed a sigh of relief and scattered in all directions, busy with their own work.
Li Qing heard Hong Xin say last night, this time Hu Yanwu only brought a few thousand cavalry, and he didn't even have decent siege equipment, with Hong Xin's experience, Hu Yanwu was more like usual, coming to look for an opportunity to loot, but for some reason, when he passed under the city of Chuyi, he suddenly turned to a large-scale attack. At first, Hong Xin didn't take Hu Yanwu to heart, thinking that it wouldn't be long before the Eagle Strike Guerrillas from Tianshui Pass arrived, and these Shanrong barbarians would naturally flee in a hurry. But I didn't want to wait for a few days and didn't wait for the military horses from Tianshui Pass, but these mountain barbarians surrounded Chuyi and harassed them from time to time. Until he talked to Li Qing about this matter last night, Hong Xin didn't understand how Chu Yi was lost. At this time, he heard that Wei Duxing was related to the fall of Chuyi, and Li Qing decided to go up to see what was going on.
Wei Duxing's family lives in Zoumagang in the west of the city, which is a very large house, and the plaque on the main gate does not say "Wei House", but "Yang Wei Martial Arts Hall". More than a dozen men standing in front of the door saw Zheng Yu and the scholars walking in the distance, and each drew their knives and guarded them tightly in front of the door.
The scholar walked unhurriedly, Zheng Yu had already seen the scene in front of the door, and hurriedly turned around to find his junior sister. There was a sneer on the corner of the girl's mouth, but she knew what the ice lotus meant to the master, so she had to walk a few steps patiently and quickly to the side of the men and whispered a few words.
Li Qing watched from afar, and felt in his heart that the scholar seemed to be very simple, whether it was just encountering the cold eyes of the girl, or now facing more than a dozen steel knives, the scholar's expression has not changed in the slightest from beginning to end, and he has always had a smile on his face, as if he is swimming in the blue mountains and green waters, looking comfortable and calm.
Seeing the figure of the scholar disappear into the door, Li Qing took the lotus flower to find a secluded street corner, quietly crossed the courtyard wall, and sneaked into the martial arts hall.
"Senior Brother Dezi, I heard that Senior Sister went out and found the elixir, is it true?" A dark-skinned young man with a medicine jar in his hand followed closely to another taller young man, asking curiously as he walked.
"It's really true, but it's useless to find it, don't you know, the master is in a rage in the front yard at this moment, and even his beloved jade Ruyi has been smashed, and we will be clever when we arrive in a while, and look at the face. The young man named Dezi put his hands behind his back and carefully instructed his junior brother with an old look.
"You two have itchy skin, don't you? I asked you to deliver medicine, and you are still grinding here, looking for a fight?" a mean voice sounded beside the rockery not far away. A fair-skinned, handsome young man was turning out from behind the rockery with a bewitching woman in his arms, shouting and scolding.
The two teenagers seemed to see the plague god, their faces turned pale with fright, and they hurriedly trotted away.
"Ahh Another short teenager, holding the medicine jar in his arms and running, suddenly heard a shout, looked up, and quickly turned around to escape, but saw a girl standing in front of him, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and a lake-green dress, like a fairy in a painting.
Gently taking the medicine jar, the white lotus approached and sniffed it, and her face changed slightly. Two vines snaked out of the grass beside the road, their pointed ends pointing towards the back of the heads of the two teenagers, and the two fell down without saying a word.
Wei Feng hurriedly walked back from the front yard, since his father was injured, this temper is getting bigger and bigger, anyway, people came with the ice lotus, but the father knew the identity of the scholar, but he didn't even ask and was furious there. Wei Feng was anxious in his heart, seeing that it was time to take medicine, as long as he took the medicine, his father would calm down, but the left medicine did not come, and the right medicine did not come, seeing that his father's temper was getting bigger and bigger, Wei Feng hurriedly went to the back to find the two disciples who sent the medicine.
After passing through a flower garden and walking along a cobblestone path, Wei Feng's figure suddenly paused, his body floated, and the whole person had already flown towards the rockery.
