Chapter 16: 10 Years
We walked through the east gate of the palace, and after passing the moat, there were more than a dozen civilian carriages parked in an open space in front of the moat. "Sit mine, sit mine, mine cheap." "I'm a soft bag, you can know it as soon as you sit down." Dare to love this palace is like a private university, there is a bunch of three jumpers carrying passengers parked at the door, it seems that all the palace maids and eunuchs who have private affairs out of the palace have to take a car into the city first.
I asked an old coachman nearby, "We are looking for a place to eat, which of you is the most famous?" ”
The old man hurriedly let us into the car: "Of course, we will go to Xuanwu Street, sit down and be there immediately." When the other coachmen saw that the patron was being dragged away, they all dispersed in a huff.
The old coachman whipped the carriage, glanced back and said, "The little one has been waiting here for a few years, and the two of you look at the face, they are new to the palace, right?" ”
"Well, I only came yesterday."
The old coachman shook his head slightly and sighed, "So it's really not the right time for you two to come. ”
"How?"
The old coachman turned around strangely and said, "There is something wrong in the palace, you don't know about it, do you?" ”
"Are you talking about the two sword gods?"
The old coachman lowered his voice and said, "Isn't it? I heard that in addition to Su Jing of the daughter country, there is also a person named Shi Dizai, this person is five zhang tall, and he can suck people into it with one mouth, and the copper lions outside the Jianji Hall were eaten by him, and finally two copper bumps came out. ”
Su Jing couldn't help but snort and laughed.
I said with a black line on my face: "This Stitch is really good, do you believe it?" ”
The old coachman said, "I don't believe it, if he is really that tall, wouldn't I see him when I stood outside the palace?" ”
I said to Su Jing: "See, the common people have the wisdom of the common people - where did you hear about this?" ”
The old coachman said smugly: "There are 20,000 or 30,000 palace eunuchs and guards in this imperial city, and there are no more than a dozen or twenty people who go out one day. ”
Su Jing asked him: "Knowing that something happened to the palace, do you dare to solicit customers here?" ”
The old coachman smiled and said: "If something happens, we have to eat, we are small people in troubled times, and we can't afford to think about tea and dinner, and what is the identity of the two sword gods, it is difficult to get along with us." ”
I gave a thumbs up and said, "Well said." ”
It didn't take much time for the carriage to travel to a bustling street, and the old coachman pointed with his hand: "Two of you, this is Xuanwu Street, and it will be right for you to eat and buy things in the future." ”
When I got out of the car, I saw that there were shops on both sides of the spacious street, cloth villages, pawnshops, restaurants, teahouses, everything, fresh fruits and all kinds of gadgets on the street stalls, and the cries of selling came and went, a vibrant scene, I sighed: "This world is less and everyone is still turning, can you see that their emperor has run away?" ”
Su Jing nodded thoughtfully: "Maybe the absence of an emperor is a good thing for the people of Hejis." ”
I said with a serious expression: "I have a looming problem in mind. ”
"What's that?"
"Actually, you don't really want to eat ravioli, do you?" I say this because I saw that there were no less than a dozen shops selling snacks on this street alone, and many of them were fresh when they looked at them, and I said, "If you don't eat snacks in a place, you will go back to Baoshan empty, and rush it." ”
So at my call, we ate two skewers of mutton at this stall and a sweet cake at that stall, and by the time we got to the middle, the two of us could no longer see our toes...... I patted my stomach comfortably and said, "I will always miss my years in Haggis from now on." At this moment, we happened to stroll in front of a large shop, and the hundreds of square meters were full of all kinds of furniture, from tables, chairs, benches to cabinets and dressers, and I was surprised: "Yo, furniture city." As soon as we stopped at the door, a guy came out of the store and said with a smile on his face: "Two of you buy furniture? ”
I casually said, "Do you have a bed here?" ”
"Yes, yes, please." The guy led us to a few beds of different styles, looked at us, and said in an ambiguous tone: "Are you two newlyweds going to choose furniture?" ”
I hummed and said seriously: "The bed at home is not strong and collapsed." ”
The man immediately looked at me with admiration on his face: "Then you have come to the right place with us, our bed here is notoriously big and sturdy!" As he spoke, he smiled at Su Jing flatteringly, and Su Jing knew that I was playing tricks again, so he reluctantly turned his head to the side.
I chose a carved bed and said, "This one is good." ”
The guy said: "Good vision, at first glance, he is a person who knows the goods, this is a serious Huanghuali." ”
Originally, I just talked about it casually, but it turned out that I was really tempted to spare two laps around this bed, the bed in Xiuxinyuan was small and short, and she looked like an abandoned woman with her head and head - this is understandable, the bed in the cold palace, we don't know how long it will take, and the uncomfortable bed is a big problem!
I asked the guy, "Is there a deal?" ”
"This is natural, you are visiting our store for the first time, 25 taels of silver will count as 20 taels for you."
Su Jing whispered to me, "20 taels of silver can't buy Huanghuali." ”
"Whatever, as long as it's comfortable." I asked the guy, "Is it tube-send?" ”
"How far and near is your mansion?"
I said, "We are living in the palace now." ”
The guy was taken aback: "Don't make this kind of joke, we know more or less the rules in the palace, there is a Shangyi supervisor who is in charge of clothes and bedding, even if the old and the new are changed, there is a fixed system, how can you pour it into the palace by yourself?" ”
"You don't care about that." I grabbed a handful of silver and stuffed it into his hand and said, "All this silver is for you, you send the things to the head of the guard surnamed Zhang, and say that it is sent to Xiuxin Yuan, and he will naturally let you in." ”
The guy hesitated, "This ...... If you can't deliver it to the local store, you won't be responsible. ”
I said, "Will they let you go in and give it to you for nothing?" ”
Then the man said, "The villain only obeyed." ”
Su Jing and I walked around Xuanwu Street again before turning around, just arrived at the gate of the palace and saw the guy from the furniture store driving the carriage to the side, stretching his neck to look, in front of the palace there was a large group of people, old and young, most of them were dressed as warriors, and the guns were carried by the sticks, and the guards were each drawing their swords and blocking the door, looking nervous. The two sides seem to be at loggerheads.
I patted the guy: "Why haven't the things been delivered yet?" ”
When the guy saw that it was me, he said with a bitter face: "Look at this posture, who dares to step forward?" ”
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know, it looks like those martial arts practitioners are going to enter the palace to find someone." Speaking of this guy, he was amazed, "It's strange today, who is usually so bold?" ”
I also squeezed forward with the mood of watching the play, there were about a hundred of those martial artists, and the big man in front of the head was not very old, with a full beard, a board belt and a wrist guard, a slap wide to protect the heart hair, and shouted: "We are looking for Su Jing and Shi Dizai, let us in!" ”
The captain of the guard said with anger on his face: "The forbidden place of the palace will not allow you to trespass, disperse quickly, otherwise you will all be taken down and questioned!" ”
The big man said: "Who doesn't know that the palace has been occupied by two sword gods, what kind of prestige do you guys have to play with us?" ”
The captain was trembling with anger and was about to have a seizure, when Leng Ding saw me and pointed helplessly: "The person you are looking for is there." ”
The eyes of more than 100 people suddenly focused on me, and then they surrounded me and Su Jing with a hula, and the big man said in a vicious voice: "You are Shi Dizai?" "I had just nodded when I heard an ouch behind me, and the furniture store guy fell out of the carriage...... The big man looked at Su Jing again: "Then you are Su Jing?" ”
Su Jing said indifferently: "Do you have something to do with us?" ”
The big man said angrily: "Nonsense, did you invade the imperial city and treat our Black Jisi martial arts heroes as nothing?" ”
Su Jing said: "Then what do you want?" ”
"It's very simple, I want to compete with you, if you lose, get out of Haggis obediently, if I lose, I will give the head of the neck!" As he spoke, he rolled up his arms and sleeves to squat on his crotch, and called a few times to make a strong voice, and the rest of the people retreated far away, giving way to a circle, and shouting and cheering.
Su Jing looked at this posture and cried and said, "What is the use of my head for you?" She didn't mean to look down on the big man when she said this, Su Jing has been famous for a long time, and even if she confirms her martial arts, she is also a top master who has entered the sainthood, and her mentality has long been pampered.
But the big man shouted as if insulted: "Are you saying that I will definitely lose? The group of warriors behind him immediately shouted, these people are all full of meat, wearing bells and whistles, and the weapons used are even stranger, I can't wait to make people feel different at a glance, they are clearly third-rate goods on the rivers and lakes, but there is a patriotic heart, in a word, this is to help 2b angry youth, if there are rock and Weibo in those years, there may be a few talents among them, but once you stick to it, it will not be easier to deal with than the chewing gum on the soles of your shoes.
Su Jing saw that it would be impossible to make a move, so he said patiently: "May I ask if you plan to go up one by one or send a representative?" ”
The big man waved his hand arrogantly: "Are you afraid that we will use wheel tactics?" If we look down on us too little, I can represent them alone! ”
Su Jing said: "Do you agree? ”
The indignant youths said, "Agreed." "That big man may not be the highest martial arts among them, but since he is willing to show his head, everyone plans to wait and see, and the martial arts of this group of people are not much worse, the reason why most of the whimsical is to coax the seedlings, I am afraid that the real purpose of many people is to see what the sword god looks like. It's good to brag in the future.
Su Jing said: "Then you can do it." ”
The big man closed his eyes and recuperated, and after half the weather, he suddenly shouted and pounced, Su Jing stood still in place, only his sleeve was slightly flicked, and the big man seemed to be slapped on the back of the head invisibly, and his whole face was planted in the soil with a pop, Su Jing said as if nothing happened: "Agreed." ”
The big man was also genuine, and a carp turned over and stood up, and said angrily: "Who is plotting against Lao Tzu behind his back?" Don't you know that Lao Tzu is dueling with people? Seeing everyone's strange eyes, and looking at Su Jing again, he realized that he was ugly, and couldn't help but ask in a daze: "Why didn't I see you move, but I fell forward." ”
Su Jing smiled slightly: "Because you have a fatal weakness." ”
"What's the weakness?"
Su Jing saw that he was so stupid and cute, and couldn't help but laugh: "Why should I tell you? ”
Dahan didn't relent: "You just tell me." ”
Su Jing was "competing" with people over there, I kept looking at the bed I just bought, this thing is more than two meters long and wide, stupid and rude, I'm worried about how to get it in, the guards must be unreliable, this will make me think and say to the big man: "You help me move the bed in first." ”
"Can you tell me when you move in?"
"Move first."
As a result, this thing is really a solid eye, and I promised to pick up the big bed and leave, and I hurriedly led the way in front: "Eh, let go - turn left in front, don't go wrong." ”
The guards didn't know whether to cry or laugh after watching a complete farce, and scolded those heroes one after another: "Scattered." ”
The guy who gave me the bed looked at me with stupid eyes, and said cautiously: "You are really the sword god Stitchai?" ”
I was wary: "What do you want to do, we have already paid for everything!" "Many businesses are not good at this, and they want to blackmail you because you are a celebrity because of your size.
The guy excitedly said, "The money will be returned to you, but can we write on the signboard that you became a sword god because you slept in our bed?" ”
I said with a gloomy face: "No, aren't you deceiving consumers?" ”
The big man sweated on the bed and shouted, "Hey, where are you heading ahead?" ”
…… When Dahan moved the bed to Xiuxin Yuan and put it away, he couldn't wait to ask Su Jing without even caring about wiping it: "You said that I have a fatal weakness, now it's time to tell me, right?" ”
Su Jing shook his head helplessly and said, "What level are you now?" ”
Dahan said honestly: "Jiansheng." ”
"Yes, my guess is that your teacher should be at most one level higher than you."
When it came to his master, Dahan said with a respectful face: "Exactly, my master and his old man are swordsmen in Orange Duan, and he has won the second place in the township competition." ”
I quickly chuckled and turned my head to the side...... Su Jing also chuckled: "I didn't want to tell you that I was afraid that you would be sad, for the sake of your love for Wucheng's surname, I'll just say it, no matter the level of cultivation, your biggest weakness is that the martial arts routines you learn are all fancy, change to a master." ”
After hearing this, Dahan really showed a sad and disappointed expression, and then said with full expectation: "Then my talent is okay?" ”
Su Jing said honestly: "General, but there is still the possibility of improvement." ”
I hurriedly comforted him and said, "It's okay, talent is floating clouds, maybe one day you wake up and find yourself with the protagonist's halo on your body...... Well, but you're a little older, and your image is on the side of the armor. ”
Dahan thought for a while, his expression was firm, and he clenched his fists and said, "Okay, I'll go and visit famous teachers, and I'll come back to you in 10 years!" ”
Su Jing said: "Then I won't send it." ”
I said, "Shall you eat and then leave?" ”
Dahan ignored me, and said to Su Jing: "Okay, please Su Jianshen remember our 10-year period, let's say goodbye!" After saying this, he walked away with great ambition.
I asked Su Jing: "At his level, how many tricks can he have with you in 10 years?" ”
Su Jing didn't answer positively, and muttered, "10 years...... If he had studied hard, he might have been able to make a small leader in the Haggis army, but I hope the world will be peaceful by then. ”
