The carriage came out of Shanglinfang, crossed the Luoshui pontoon bridge to Nancheng, passed through Cihuifang and Tonglifang, and successfully arrived at the most prosperous Nanshi in Luoyang.

After the Shangyuan Festival, with the north-south traffic restored smoothly, Luoyang South City has regained its former prosperity, before arriving at the market, you will see a large number of mules and horses caravans on the street, when you arrive at the door, the vendors are lined up inward, densely packed with people, and the speed of the carriage slows down rapidly.

Entering the South City, the carriage kept adjusting its direction and moving forward slowly.

Adjacent to Chunfeng Lane, where Yang Yun visited last time, there is a two-story wine shop, which is very conspicuous in a row of low houses, the carriage stopped in front of the small building, Mi Ying got off the car first, made a "please" gesture, and prepared to help Yang Yun down.

Men and women are not kissed, especially if the other party is still a girl who has not left the cabinet, Yang Yun naturally knows how to avoid suspicion, jumped directly from the carriage, and then looked up at the signboard of the wine shop.

Return to the forest!

"This is it."

Mi Ying introduced, "The master set up a banquet here and waited for the prince to come. ”

Yang Yun nodded and entered the door of the wine shop with Mi Ying.

Before it was time to eat, the wine shop seemed very deserted, only an old shopkeeper in his fifties stood behind the counter in a wooden manner, and saw Mi Ying bringing customers here, but he didn't even come out to greet him.

Mi Ying didn't say hello to the shopkeeper, and took Yang Yun upstairs directly.

The stairs are very steep, the second floor seems a little cramped, there are only four tables in the small space, one table is facing the south window, a man with a long sword at his waist, dressed in a white short dress with his back to the staircase, looking at the bustling street scene of the south city from the window.

"Master, the slave invited Yang Gongzi for you."

When Mi Ying went upstairs and saw that the man had not turned around, she immediately reminded him.

The man Huo Ran looked back and looked at Yang Yun with a smile on his face, and Yang Yun looked at him without showing weakness.

This man is about thirty years old, with a tall figure, broad shoulders and a round waist, especially his arms are extremely long, and he seems to be full of strength, his eyes are as deep as water, and there is a kind of light shot out of the pupils like a cat's eye at night, which penetrates people's hearts, and his nose is tall and slender, and his lips are sharp and angular, giving people a sense of atmosphere and calmness.

Yang Yun didn't give a salute immediately, this person looked a little strange, he was sure that he was a plain friend with the other party, and it was very far-fetched to say that it was his friend.

"Little Brother Yang, why don't you know it? Yiling has been in good health for half a year? ”

The man in white reported himself to his home and told Yang Yun of his origin, and it was really the "assassin" wanted by officers and soldiers that Yang Yun had seen at the Yiling Inn.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "When the candles were all extinguished during the meeting that day, I drank with him in the dark, and I only had a vague impression, but I am sure that he was not this face at that time, it seems that he was wearing a mask or simple and easy to look like at that time." ”

"It's you...... Thanks to Your Excellency, I can eat and sleep below, and my body is very strong. Yang Yun gave a simple salute and responded with a smile.

The man in white asked Yang Yun to sit down, Mi Ying sat down together, at this time the shopkeeper of the wine shop had to go upstairs, the man in white asked the shopkeeper to serve tea and vegetables, and did not order wine, and then he picked up a wine jar from the ground behind him, unsealed the mud, and immediately the wine was fragrant...... The taste of this wine is very familiar to Yang Yun, and it is produced in his workshop.

"Borrow flowers to offer Buddha."

After the man in white finished speaking, he poured a bowl of wine for Yang Yun.

He also wanted to pour wine to Mi Ying, and Mi Ying said: "How dare the little woman make a mistake in front of the two masters? Let's go with a little girl. ”

The man in white was stunned, suddenly remembered something, waved his hand and said, "Miss Mi has been tired from the journey, and she just came back from the east, so I'm really sorry for you to invite Little Brother Yang over...... Why don't you go back to rest first, Miss Mi will go back and rest first, I have something to talk to this little brother, how about talking about the old words in the future? ”

The intention of chasing customers is obvious, and Mi Ying is a little unexpected.

I've just sat down, why are you letting me go?

Is this to be considerate of me and let me go back to rest? Or do you think I'm in the way here?

However, the master had already spoken, Mi Ying would not be bored with herself, and got up and said: "Thank you for understanding the little woman's distress, I don't know how to find the master when I turn around?" ”

"Just ask Little Brother Yang, and he will find me." The man in white laughed.

"Okay, then I won't bother the two of you...... The little woman retired first. Mi Ying left the table after saluting, and Yang Yun was about to get up to send him off, but was stopped by the man in white stretching out his hand.

The man in white said: "Miss Mi has been in the dust all the way, and it is extremely hard to come, so I will go back at this time to wash up and make up for sleep by the way, so don't bother Brother Yang...... You and my brother haven't seen each other for half a year, so let's drink first, come, I'll give you a bowl. ”

……

……

Seeing Mi Ying get into the carriage and leave from the window on the second floor, Yang Yun raised the wine bowl at the man in white, and then raised his head to drink.

Yang Yun was a little cautious, he knew that the man in white was of unknown origin and his whereabouts were erratic, neither an ordinary business traveler, nor an ordinary ranger, but more like a swordsman who walked the world to fight unevenly, and his background was incomprehensible.

"Why is Little Brother Yang so restrained? Old friends should be happy to reunite after a long absence. The man in white poured wine for Yang Yun again, picked up the wine jar and poured it into the bowl, but he was able to pour it just right, and the wine did not leak.

Yang Yun's expression was calm: "I don't know Your Excellency well, and I don't even know the name, how can I be worthy of the name of an old friend?" ”

The man in white smiled: "Looking at you like this, I don't know that I thought there was a misunderstanding between us...... You also know the reason why I was arrested by the government that day, but I saw the injustice, and I forced myself to come out, thinking that I would stay up all night in the wind, who would have thought that I would have the opportunity to taste wine with you...... Since that night, I have never forgotten your wine, didn't I just arrive in Luoyang, and let people take this wonderful wine that makes people think about it? ”

Yang Yun frowned slightly and said, "Your wine was bought from my store?" ”

"It's definitely bought back with real money, someone bought wine from your store in the first year and sent it to Nanshi, Little Brother Yang has always been shrewd, shouldn't he know about it now?" The man in white laughed.

Of course Yang Yun knew, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain where the two hundred jars of wine a day went when business was good years ago.

"You haven't answered my question yet." Yang Yun's face was a little displeased.

The man in white was stunned for a moment, and then said with a straight face: "Little Brother Yang wants to ask my name and origin?" ”

Yang Yun didn't answer, which was tantamount to acquiescence.

"Okay. Let me ask you a question first, although you are an outsider, you are also in the world, as far as you know, who is the best swordsman in the world? The man in white asked.

Yang Yun's expression was grim: "Naturally, it's General Pei." ”

When he was a famous man in the world, Yang Yun had studied hard after coming to Luoyang, and naturally knew that there was a person in the world who was respected by the world as the "Sword Saint".

Pei Min, Hedong Wen is pleasing to people, "Du Yi Zhi" contains, he "throws the sword into the clouds, dozens of zhang high, if the electric light shoots down, Min leads his hand to hold the sheath to inherit it, the sword enters through the air, and the audience is thousands of people, all of whom are cold and frightened." According to the "Records of Famous Paintings of the Past Dynasties", the painting saint Wu Daozi saw Pei Min's sword dance, "the haunted gods and monsters are finished, and they are "swaying to make progress".

Yan Zhenqing wrote the poem "Gift to General Pei": "The great monarchy is Liuhe, and the fierce general is Qing Jiuyuan...... The sword dance is like a lightning dance, lingering with the wind...... One shot of a hundred horses, and then a shot of ten thousand people to open the ......", Wang Wei Shiyun "The sword on the waist is seven-star text, and the bow is carved on the arm. Seeing that he was captured in the clouds, he knew that there was a general in the sky, "all of them praised the subtlety of Pei Min's swordsmanship."

Pei Min's swordsmanship is known as one of the "three uniques" in the Tang Dynasty, and the swordsmanship of a martial artist can be called the "three uniques" with Li Bai's poems and Zhang Xu's wild grass, which shows that his skills are very superb and have reached the realm of supernatural transformation.

But Pei Min is currently a general in Hedong, and it is impossible to be as free and casual as the person in front of him, walking in the world, and even fighting unevenly.

Chivalry is forbidden by force, which is a taboo in the imperial court.

The man in white smiled slightly: "The General Pei you are talking about is my junior brother...... I worshipped with him and started a few years before him, so I was his brother. ”

"Really?"

Yang Yun couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

Although he knew that Pei Min was good at swordsmanship, he didn't know who Pei Min was learning from, but he didn't think it was necessary for this person to pretend to be Pei Min's classmate.

Yang Yunxin said: "This person is arrogant, if he pretends to be Pei Min's fellow disciple, just to put a high hat on himself?" It really doesn't make sense. ”

The man in white sighed: "No wonder Little Brother Yang doesn't believe it, one is the general of the imperial court, the other is from a reckless background, and no one will be connected together, but I don't agree with him, he likes to compete for fame and fortune, and I better walk the world and fight for righteousness...... However, the matter of the same family is not made up, if there is a chance to meet in the future, he will recognize me as a senior brother. ”

"So, your Excellency is good at swordsmanship?" Yang Yundao.

"It's not counting, swordsmanship, it's just a show of a certain routine, you really have to fight between life and death, you really have to be like the eldest lady, dancing there for a long time, dazzling and shouting?" The man in white said with a smile.

When it came to "Auntie", Yang Yun naturally remembered that this person had entrusted him to Luoyang to deliver the news that day.

The man in white said: "It's a pity, you have been in Luoyang for half a year, and the eldest lady is not here, you should not have seen her when you went to Chunfeng Lane, right?" ”

"Yes." Yang Yun nodded.

But it also avoided a crisis for her, which was a blessing in misfortune...... You haven't seen her sword dance, it's because you don't have eyes. The man in white smiled and quipped, "By the way, you haven't seen her in person, her apprentice should have seen her, right?" ”

Yang Yun thought for a moment and asked, "You mean the woman who danced before?" ”

He is talking about a woman who suddenly came out to perform a sword dance when the brothers and sisters of the Mi family invited him to a banquet.

"It's her, she is the most proud disciple of the eldest mother in recent years, if it weren't for the relationship between you and me, she wouldn't come out to perform her talents, and it was also through her that I learned about the relationship between you and the Mi family, and it happened that I heard that the robbery of official goods in Longhu Village was related to the Mi family on the way north, so I came out to help."

The man in white said that his expression was much more serious.

Yang Yun made a straight face: "Then I will thank you for the Mi family first." ”

Yang Yun doesn't want to owe this person a favor for no reason, obviously he is helping the Mi family, how can he have anything to do with me?

The man in white smiled dumbly, and said after a while: "I don't ask you to reciprocate these things, but to do chivalrous righteousness just to seek peace of mind." I heard that after you arrived in Luoyang, you will be famous in the world in half a year, and you will move in advance, and then you will be a rare young genius in Taoism, even if Zhang Guo, the first strange person in the world, is not as showy as you. ”

"Don't dare to be." Yang Yundao.

The man in white sighed lightly: "But with your fame in the world, you also provoke unnecessary right and wrong, I heard that you have a close relationship with Henan Yin Liu Hengzheng, but you have to be careful of this person." ”

Yang Yun frowned slightly: "How do you say this?" ”

"There are some things that I can't say to you explicitly, but you have to know that the people in this officialdom are not as simple as they seem on the surface, as if this Mi family has encountered, do you really think that Longhu Village is a casual robbery? The reason for this simply does not stand up to scrutiny......"

The man in white was secretive, and then smiled, "It's all over, don't mention it, after returning to Luoyang, what I want most is to hold the wine and drink it every day, how can this altar be enjoyable?" Why don't you sell me face and let me buy a few more jars of wine to go back? Don't worry, I won't sell it, it will ruin your livelihood, and I will keep it for myself. ”
