103-Chunlin Villa-1
"Selling oil crispy corners - spring rolls - bean curd - "
The window of the guest room is facing the main street of Guizhou County, and there is a food stall below, and you can smell the aroma from time to time when you sit in front of the window. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info I heard that the business of restaurants and inns in the county is very prosperous these days, and this is not borrowed from the light of the Chunlin Mountain Villa Mountain Worship Conference. The people of the rivers and lakes are generous, especially those big gang leaders who have heads and faces, and they spend money lavishly, which really makes people wonder where their money comes from. But these uncles are not easy to provoke, especially after drinking, fighting, smashing tables and stools, the shopkeepers do not dare to dissuade them, let alone claim compensation from them, even to sue the officials, the yamen does not care, so they offer very courtesy, hoping to get more rewards, in case they smash the shop, after they leave the repair will not lose money. Therefore, when she walked into this inn last night, Heng Yu also saw that the shopkeeper invited her and Shi Leader to the second floor almost as if they had seen their ancestors. It's funny to think about it, probably both of them have long weapons in their hands, and the appearance of Leader Shi makes the shopkeeper honestly afraid.
It is said that after Gao Ye sent the letter back, two days later, the alliance leader asked him to bring the reply letter, first go to Hengyu to return, and then the two of them turned back to Yiling Prefecture and joined Shi Touhui, who escorted Zhu Zhuang to come. After exchanging hostages with Chunlin Villa, Gao Ye and Yang Zheng returned to the alliance leader, and Hengyu also led two people with Shi Chief, and followed twenty people to Chunlin Villa to participate in the mountain worship meeting to show sincerity.
Yesterday at the Nanjin Pass at the mouth of Xiling Gorge, the people from Chunlin Villa were Long Shao, the owner of the second village, and the one-eyed Di Ling. Knowing that she was the eldest lady of the Xihai Alliance of the Mighty Miyun Castle a month ago, Long Shao was quite surprised. And the one-eyed Di Ling Lord had always been pale, and he whispered to Yang Zheng for a long time before leaving, and he didn't know what they said. Yang Zheng naturally still looks cold. After the settlement, there was not much to say, Long Shao was very happy to learn that they intended to come to the mountain worship conference, but Di Lingzhu's face became more and more gloomy. After saying goodbye to Gao Ye and Yang Zheng, Hengyu and Shi Jinzhong stayed in Guizhou County. Tomorrow evening, I will go to Chunlin Villa.
At this time, Leader Shi took his subordinates out for dinner, and Hengyu didn't want to go, so he just asked the store to make a bowl of noodles and send it up. She sat in front of the window and read her father's reply again, which was still depressing.
Her father has always been honest with her, but there are some things that she really doesn't know. Back then, the old city lord of the Northern Underworld was old and frail, and he was unable to control the four major commanders under him, and was finally angry to death. As the most proud disciple of his life, his father did not fulfill his responsibilities as a disciple, but also turned against him after the death of his master, relying on the strength of the Xihai Alliance to kill his fellow disciples, and watched his former brother's life die under the knife, instead of saving him. What's the use of blaming yourself afterwards! Although he felt guilty, he still imprisoned his brother's widow in the Xihai League as a miscellaneous servant. In this way, he did not give up, and forcibly took him away from his mother when Yang Zheng was four years old and sent him to Xuandu. Yang Zheng didn't know that after his mother was taken away, she was discouraged, had a long illness, and finally committed suicide by hunger strike. Every time I read this, my heart feels like cold water has been poured on it. Although his father said that the North Underworld City was notorious, in his hands, how much better could the West Sea Alliance's actions be. Even if you want to wash your hands now, you haven't done a lot of life before. She didn't want to think any further. Even if he is as amiable as Mr. Qi, he used to be a murderer without blinking. Even she herself is full of blood, where is she qualified to judge her father. The past is doomed, and it should always be released, in fact, I still like my father in my heart.
The letter also said that the name of the Di Ling Lord was Di Taifeng, who was the last of the four major orders in the Northern Underworld City, and the hunchbacked old man surnamed Wang was a servant of the Yang family. The two must have narrowly escaped the scuffle and have remained incognito ever since. Now that Di Taifeng has taken refuge in Chunlin Villa, he must not have given up. Gao Ye also inquired about the origin of the Ten Thousand Daoist priests from Chen Baisheng. His name is Wan Qian, he is well-known in this area, nicknamed the nine-headed centipede, proficient in medical skills, but he has a hobby of making drugs, and often uses his Jianghu people who can't fight to test drugs. Fortunately, the martial arts of this ten thousand Taoist priests are not very good, so there are not many people who fall into his poisonous hands, but they are still notorious. Now that Di Taifeng and Wan Qian are together, it makes people a little wary. In her father's letter, she said that she was looking for an opportunity to kill Di Taifeng when she was in Chunlin Villa, but she was a little hesitant. This is the evil fruit planted by her father in his early years, why did he want her to end it. However, I'm afraid it's not so easy to get started, so let's do it when the opportunity arises.
Listening to Gao Ye, Qiu Yinming also came to return to the state. clearly complained that he had no faith in his words, but he still kept thinking about it. I remember when I first met her last year, she was cautious, and she was afraid that things would not go your way. Sure enough, even if he was very fond of it, he still couldn't resist the personnel barrier. She doesn't know what to do in the future, if she wants to follow people's wishes, she can only rely on heaven's will. Thinking that he should be in Guizhou County now, where is it? Hengyu still felt that this bowl of noodles had no taste at all.
The street downstairs is getting more and more lively at this time. Most of the more sophisticated restaurants are full. When the same people meet in the rivers and lakes and treat each other to each other, they naturally have to pick a good place and not lose face in front of others. Well-known figures are even more generous, and the second floors of several restaurants are all covered tonight. So much so that after Qiu Yinming, Chen Baisheng and Qiao San settled down in the inn, they came out to look for a restaurant, and they found a clean shop after looking for a long time, and it happened that there were guests in a window seat upstairs who had just finished eating.
After the store was cleaned up and the three of them sat down, Qiao San said: "After a day of walking, I'm hungry, Xiao Er hurry up and serve the food." ”
Seeing that the big black man had a loud voice, his hands were like dustpans, and his face was fierce, he was afraid in his heart, and asked tremblingly, "What do the three of you want to eat?" Our store has steamed sea bass, garlic fried bacon, lotus root ......" Before he finished speaking, Qiao San said impatiently: "Why are you so wordy, just pick the one that can be eaten." ”
Chen Baisheng patted him on the side and said, "Third brother, what are you yelling at, let the boss say." ”
Qiu Yinming took out a piece of silver and handed it to the storekeeper, saying, "I'm sorry, my brother is hungry, I can't wait, you can pick it up as soon as you want." Give two more jars of wine. ”
Before the wine was ready, Qiao San couldn't wait to grab a duck leg and munch on it.
Chen Baisheng poured a bowl of wine for Qiu Yinming, and said with a smile: "Master Qiu, I really wronged you, borrowing my scattered cottage as a name." ”
Qiu Yinming said: "Where, I still want Brother Chen to give me this top spot." ”
Qiao San said vaguely: "Why don't you eat quickly, what's polite there." Alas, it's better for me, both horizontal and vertical are the third. ”
Jianghu people pay attention to a name. Especially when participating in such martial arts events, if you don't have a name, you are not a character. Since he came, he naturally had to follow the customs, and it happened that Chen Baisheng once had a Flying Tiger Village, although he was not famous, but he shouted it very loudly, so Qiu Yinming borrowed this name and temporarily acted as the boss of Flying Tiger Village. Although Chen Baisheng himself has never participated in this mountain worship meeting, he has heard many rumors in the past. According to him, there were too many people who came to pay homage to the old sect master, and not everyone could see it. The leaders of those small sects or the children of the famous families who are not famous have to go to the stage early on the first day of the conference to compete in order to win a place on the seat of the old sect master. Qiu Yinming listened to it and knew in his heart, it seems that tomorrow it is indispensable to take the stage to challenge, the only thing he has to worry about is that he does not have a weapon in his hand, and he is afraid that he will suffer a lot.
After the meal, there was no word for the night. As soon as it was dawn the next morning, the three of them packed up and went on the road to Chunlin Villa. There were also many fellow travelers on the way, although they did not greet each other, but they inevitably looked at each other. Qiu Yinming's horses frequently attracted envious glances.
When we reached the lake, the sun was already high. I saw that on the road along the lake to the gate of the villa, the trees on both sides were tied with red silk, and the gate was even more colorful, and it was festive. A well-dressed old gentleman sat at a wooden table at the door, as if registering everyone who came into the village.
When the three of them arrived at the door, the old gentleman raised his head and asked politely, "What do you call the three heroes?" ”
Qiu Yinming arched his hand and said: "Jiugong Mountain, Flying Tiger Village." ”
The old gentleman looked at him, bowed his head and wrote it down, hesitated for a moment and said, "The owner of the village, I won't tell you, you are already the third Flying Tiger Village." ”
When Qiao San heard this, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "Who is so bold to impersonate our name!" ”
Chen Baisheng hurriedly grabbed him and whispered: "There are so many gangs, it's hard to keep your name." Don't make a fuss. ”
Qiu Yinming smiled a little embarrassedly and said to the old gentleman, "Thank you." We are new to your place, how will this conference be held? ”
The old gentleman saw that he had an outstanding temperament and was polite, so he smiled and said: "This morning is to welcome heroes from all walks of life, after you go in, please take a short rest in the front yard first." After noon, go to the atrium school to challenge, as long as you pass the level, you can have a banquet with the old sect master, the major heads and distinguished guests tonight. Qiu Yinming asked again: "What happens after that?" The old gentleman looked at him a few more times and said, "That is the guest of the village, and I will entertain you to stay in the village." But whether you can get the guidance of the old sect master depends on fate. ”
Qiu Yinming thanked the old gentleman, and the three of them entered the gate of the villa, but before they could see it, they had heard the voices of people who were in a hurry. Bypass the shadow wall, face a piece of empty patio that is more than ten zhang square, the north hall is open several doors side by side, the corridors on both sides are connected with the east and west side halls, the corridor in the hall is full of eight immortal tables, there are tea and various pastries and fruits at the table. At this time, many people were already in the courtyard, talking and laughing loudly, or walking through the tables to greet each other, so lively. In the patio, there are also people who compare kung fu in twos and threes, some people applaud on the side, and some people sit quietly and watch. Looking at the crowd again, they are dressed differently, and there are more than a dozen different sects, each of which gathers for itself. Outside the side hall on the east side, there is still a door open. Through the door, there is another courtyard, slightly smaller than the main courtyard, and there are more than a dozen tables. But the people sitting here seemed to be cleaner and more elegantly dressed, and not as noisy as outside.
As soon as the three of them walked into the side courtyard, a young man in Tsing Yi with a long sword approached from nowhere, and looked at the three of them with disdain: "Dare to ask the three, what sect is it?" Qiu Yin saw his appearance, and didn't want to worry about him, so he said with a cold face: "What's the matter with you?" The young man raised his chin and said, "Here are all famous families, and there are three faces." ”
When Qiao San heard this, he stepped forward and said with a tiger face: "What kind of bird sect are you, you are so wide-minded." Uncle can sit wherever he likes, this is not your home. ”
The young man was not afraid of him, and said in a loud voice: "Tell you, this is the disciples of the Hengshan faction, the Qingcheng faction, and the Yuezhou Divine Sword Villa." If you don't like this, please go outside. ”
The other people sitting in the courtyard also looked at them at this time. Qiu Yinming glanced at it and saw that everyone had an expression of watching the play. At this time, Qiao San became angry, and with a punch, he slammed into the young man's chest, but fortunately, Chen Baisheng was quick and grabbed it. Qiu Yinming hurriedly said, "Let's go." Ignoring the young man, he dragged Qiao San out of the courtyard, and said to him, "What's there to quarrel with them?" In the afternoon, we will see. ”
So the three of them found an empty table under the porch and sat down, and whispered about the next plan of action. On the way from Jingzhou Mansion, Qiu Yinming thought about it a few times, Jingzhou was close to the fief of the King of Chu, and the King of Chu was not very old, with two or three brothers, who were divided into counties in Hubei. Judging from age, there are only these county kings in the clan with status. The closest to Guizhou is the king of Yiling County, could it be that the owner of Zhu Zhuang is the king of Yiling County himself? It's a little incredible to think about it, how can there be a county king who has done a good job and has come to the rivers and lakes to make waves. It can be seen that this mountain villa stands tall in the mountains, cutting the ground and rising from the forest, the pattern is sparse, the craftsmanship is meticulous, and it is not the ordinary rich and noble family can build it. If there is a county king, it is reasonable, but even then it is too expensive. Before leaving Jingzhou Mansion, he received a letter from Qi Mutian, saying that Hengyu and Shi Jinzhong would go to the meeting in the future. Qi Mutian also greeted Shi Jinzhong, and he could ask him for help if necessary. Qiu Yinming was grateful, but still felt strange, why did Mr. Qi take care of him repeatedly, and he must find an opportunity to ask the cause in the future. The guests of Xihai Alliance are naturally distinguished guests, and she will only arrive at night. She came to mind again, and the afternoon challenge had to be done with all her might.
Before I knew it, it was almost noon, and everyone in the courtyard couldn't sit still. Suddenly, I heard a big man not far away say: "Owner of the village, the brothers will cheer you for a while." Our Flying Tiger Village is famous, and it depends on you, the owner of the village. ”
Qiu Yinming, Chen Baisheng and Qiao San all looked over there, only to see a group of people sitting at several tables, all with Hunan accents, the owner of the village was very powerful, stepped on the stool with one foot, a nine-ring knife in his hand, and said with a bright face: "Thank you, brothers." ”
Qiao San smiled and muttered, "Let's see who is the real Flying Tiger Village in a while." ”
At this time, there was a gong sound in my ears, and I saw several people who looked like martial artists walking out of it surrounded by a steward, and when they reached the center of the patio, the steward said in a loud voice: "Heroes, the challenge is about to begin." Please follow me to the campus! ”
