Chapter 100: The Avenue is not alone
Dugusheng got up and directly shook out half a bowl of the tea that Liu Bowen had just poured.
"Niu Nose, I Dugusheng sincerely asked you for kendo advice, how can you humiliate me so much, come and ......"
Liu Bowen interrupted him with a wave of his hand again, and said with a smile:
"Dugu Sheng, you don't have to pretend to be angry and force Poor Dao to compete with you with a sword, Poor Dao said, you are not qualified enough, so let's do it, Poor Dao will show you a clear way to practice swordsmanship, are you willing to listen?"
Dugu Sheng immediately sat down, although his face was still cold, but his eyes were full of longing.
"Daoist, you say, if I find out that you have deceived me, it is a big deal that I will burn your Sanqingguan and make you a wandering Taoist."
Liu Bowen looked at the half bowl of tea on the table, sighed, and said:
"The light skills under the feet are very good, the swordsmanship seems to be elegant, but in fact it is messy, don't stare at it, don't like to listen to the poor Dao, you have to say, the so-called indomitable courage, the poor Dao asks you, you have been so tense yourself, aren't you tired?"
"Sword moves also pay attention to the way of offense and defense, but people are indomitable, do you always feel that something is wrong when you practice swords?"
"Eighteen kinds of martial arts, except for the sword, you are all in the rest, so why do you praise the demon halberd that Chai Yong danced today?"
"The so-called hundred rivers return to the sea, the sea embraces all rivers, if the way of the sword is the sea, then, where are the hundred rivers that gather the way of the sword?"
Dugu Sheng listened to Liu Bowen speak, but he didn't say anything, and his originally clenched fists gradually relaxed, staring at the tea spilled on the table in a daze.
The shopkeeper had already brought food at this time, wiped the table again, and said with a smile:
"The second master, the little one doesn't understand what the two masters say, but the little one understands one thing, being a man must first look up to himself, which is true, but if you always look down on others, you actually look down on yourself, because, in the eyes of others, the little one is just a few people......"
Liu Bowen waved his hand at the shopkeeper and said:
"Go ahead, you can feel this way, I believe you won't be just a buddy all the time."
After speaking, Liu Bowen didn't care about Dugusheng, who had been stunned, and ate by himself.
After a long time, Dugu Sheng also picked up the chopsticks, but saw that several plates were already empty, and said with a wry smile:
"Why did the Taoist teach me?"
Liu Bowen burped, took another sip of tea, and said slowly:
"You can see General Yue, who came to lead Chai Yong away just now, his martial arts will soon reach the realm of Dacheng, and at that time, no matter what kind of weapon it is, in General Yue's hands, it can be a sword, a sword that breaks the army."
"What does the Taoist mean is to let General Xunyue compete in the next place?"
Liu Bowen shook his head, wanting to change Dugu Sheng's paranoia about his understanding of kendo, it seems that it is by no means something that can be achieved in a few words.
"Go, go and find General Yue, don't say that Poor Dao didn't remind you, General Yue is in the camp in front of the palace, and it is not easy for you to enter there."
Dugusheng stood up, glanced at the empty plate on the table, licked his lips, and said to Liu Bowen:
"Thank you for your advice, don't leave it here, the mountains are high and the water is long, and there will be a period later."
Liu Bowen also stood up and arched his hand:
"The mountains are high and the water is long, there must be a period after the meeting, the poor road is in the Sanqing Temple, and the foot is conscious of the swordsmanship, and you can come to the poor road again."
Dugusheng left without a mouthful of food, Liu Bowen looked at his back, and said in his heart, Dugusheng, don't blame the poor road for fooling you and pit you, I really can't do anything with you poor road.
Guo Zongxun took a group of people to walk around Kaifeng Street for a long time, and when it was lunch, he came to Jiangnan Restaurant.
"Your Royal Highness, there are a lot of big restaurants on Youliang Temple Street, why are we here?"
"General Cao, it is said that this is the only place where you can send food to the palace, there are two noble concubines in the palace who are from Jiangnan, about the snacks of missing their hometown, the father specially approved it, the prince has also tasted it, the taste is really good, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, this prince will take you back, you can come by yourself in the future."
To say that Guo Zongxun wants to introduce business to Jiangnan Restaurant, even he doesn't believe it.
The reason why he had to come to this Jiangnan restaurant on a remote street was mainly to pave the way for future investigation.
"Master, it seems that the smell of wine in this Jiangnan restaurant has come out of the alley, but it is really lively."
Isn't it, there were not many pedestrians on the street, but when they were about to approach the Jiangnan Restaurant, there were suddenly more people.
"Your Royal Highness, do you still want to be served?"
Cao Bin is worried that there will be too many guards brought in, it will be too attention-grabbing, and he is afraid that it will not be safe if he brings less, anyway, he is wearing civilian clothes today, so it is better to continue to wear micro-clothes.
"No, they all go in, and those who don't finish eating will be driven out by the prince, and the venue will be cleared, and it will be said that the prince and the fifth brother have requisitioned this restaurant in order to entertain the VIPs of the Liao State......"
Guo Zongxun stood on the street with a smile, waved his little hand, and gave the order to clear the field.
Brother Yelu Xiu rolled his eyes angrily on the side, what is this, why are you tyrannical and still drag my Great Liao Kingdom to be scolded together.
Cao Bin understood, and immediately ordered, and a group of guards rushed into the Jiangnan Restaurant like wolves.
For a while, chickens flew and dogs jumped, screaming and scolding......
"After scolding, let them leave quickly, there will often be VIPs from the Liao Kingdom here in the future."
This little stigma, Guo Zongxun can still afford it, and the common people will not have too many complaints about their own prince, as for the Liao State...... The harder you scold, the better.
"Your Royal Highness, Jiangnan Restaurant has been cleared."
"Let's go, this prince will take you to taste the taste of Jiangnan snacks today."
Entering the restaurant, a middle-aged man with a white face and beard was escorted by the guards.
"Xiaomin Houshan see the fourth highness, the fifth highness, and the adults."
Guo Zongxun glanced around, this restaurant has a total of three floors, the hall on the first floor is very spacious, and the upstairs must be a private room.
"Hou Shan, this prince is here today to feast on the distinguished guests of the Liao State...... What about VIPs...... Yan Yan, Xiao Xiuxiu, why are you two hiding behind, don't be embarrassed, come here, bring the two Liao Kingdom VIPs over to this prince......"
The two guards came over with Yelu Xiuge and Xiao Yanyan in their arms, and the brothers Cao Can and Cao Jue also wanted to come forward, but they were kicked back by Cao Bin.
"Go back, shameful thing, what's the fun."
Guo Zongxun laughed and continued to say to Hou Shan:
"Hou Shan, these two are Yelu Xiuge, the prince of Liao, and Xiao Yanyan, the noble daughter of the descendants of Liao, remember these two names, don't forget."
"Don't dare to forget, the little people have all written it down, Brother Yelu Xiu, the prince of Liao, and Xiao Yanyan, the noble daughter of the descendants of Liao, right?"
"Very well, in the future they will often order food from you, alas...... In the poor and remote areas of Liao, even the princes and nobles rarely have a full meal, and today the prince specially brought them to open their eyes. ”
"Xiaomin thanks His Royal Highness, and he will definitely bring out the best food in the store to entertain His Royal Highness and all the distinguished guests."
"Also, you Jiangnan people have always liked exquisite, small plates and small bowls, it's too enjoyable, every time you send them food in the future, the portion can be sufficient, don't use plates if you can use pots, don't use bowls if you can use buckets, do you understand?"
"Back to the words of the Fourth Highness, the people have understood it, and they will definitely do it."
Guo Zongxun circled Houshan twice, glanced at Cao Bin and Wei Zhongxian again, and said:
"General Cao, Wei Companion, you see that this Hou shopkeeper doesn't look like a spy from the Southern Tang Dynasty......"
