Volume 1 When the Storm Blows Chapter 12 The Arrival of the Guest

"Hmmm! The two girls have worked hard. The man known as the young landlord replied softly. The voice is hearty and steady, and you know that you are an easy person just by listening to the voice.

Tao Li Qiliang raised his eyes and looked, one tall and one short two figures came into view, the tall one is the young landlord in the mouth of the shallow singing and chanting, born tall and mighty, but also graceful, and his gestures are extraordinary.

The man next to the young landlord has a mediocre appearance and no brilliance, but the only difference is that the eyes are light purple, of course, the world is big, what kind of people have it, just a pair of eyes, except for the curiosity and freshness when they first see it, no one cares.

"Little Hou Ye, Qi Gongzi, Jiang Shan is polite." Jiang Shan, the owner of the young building, bowed to Tao Li and Qi Liang.

Tao Li and Qi Liang are both people with clear minds, who else can be called the owner of the young building by the shallow singing and chanting of the young building, except for the young owner of the Ping'an Building? However, this is also the first time that Ping'an Lou has officially shown his family to the world.

"Does the young landlord recognize the two of me?" Qi Liang asked as he returned the salute.

"Young Master Qi, it's really good that you sent that pair of ice jade pots to make tea, Jiang Shan hasn't had time to thank you personally, hahaha." Jiang Shan said with a laugh.

Qi Liang tugged at the corners of his mouth, damn it, the people in this Ping'an Building love to make fun of this? When Lao Tzu has money in the future, he will come and smash the field if he has nothing to do, rich, willful, and arrogant!

"Little Hou Ye, how is my brother doing lately? The last time I saw my brother, I was still drinking and talking in the city of rest, and it was two years to say goodbye! Jiang Shan's words revealed a lot of information.

"I'm tired of Brother Jiang's thoughts, I just exchanged a letter with my brother a few days ago, and everything is fine." Tao Li replied.

"Don't stand, sit and sit, today's wine is mine, and I am the friend of the landlord, this is a friend I met in the first pass, Chen Lu, the family has been in business for generations, and is a well-known local good businessman in Kansai, I am like-minded with him, and I specially invite him to come to the imperial capital to see." Jiang Shan introduced Chen Lu to Tao Li Qiliang.

"Brother Tao. Brother Qi. Chen Lu opened his mouth to say hello, speaking very slowly, but the words were correct and round.

"Brother Chen is in the first place. It really makes me envious, the world's first hero, I have always wanted to see and see, but I don't have the opportunity. Qi Liang said to Chen Lu.

"There will be a chance, when I am free, I will take Brother Qi to go, take Brother Qi to taste our Xifeng wine, Xifeng wine is strong, I just don't know if Brother Qi can drink it." Chen Lu didn't say much, and said concisely.

"It's easy to say, so thank you first, and when you get to Brother Chen's land, everything will depend on you a lot." Qi Liang said politely.

"Two big drunkards, as soon as they met, they discussed where to drink." Tao Li said while drinking.

Qi Liang glanced at Tao Li angrily, didn't speak, looked at Tao Li, and then looked at the wine in Tao Li's hand, as if to say, we are drunkards, aren't you?

Jiang Shan looked at the harmonious atmosphere, and said with high emotions: "Eh~ The ancient sages are all lonely, only the drinker leaves his name, wine is a good thing, how can you not drink it, the merry man of the previous dynasty who fought wine and poems, accompanied by wine all his life, chic in the world, is a poet fairy, but also a wine fairy, every time someone mentions that dynasty, they can think of him, and they can feel the wine smell from the shop. However, it is precisely because of this dense smell of wine that the true temperament is more revealed. ”

"Well said, come on, come on, the eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, how can he do it without wine!"

The four drunkards got up together to drink all the innocence in the bowl, especially Qi Liang, who was so thin and weak, he had already drunk a lot before, and he didn't go to the thatched house, how could his stomach still be filled?

Tao Li knew that Jiang Shan and Chen Lu were coming from the west, so he asked, "Brother Jiang is from the west, I don't know if you know the situation outside the rest of the city?" ”

Speaking of business, Jiang Shan restrained his smile and explained: "This time, I didn't go outside the rest of the city, I only traveled in Tianfu, Guandong, and Jingchu, and I didn't know much about the war outside the rest of the city, but I heard that my friends in the Zhige army said that there was no change on the side of the demon clan, and it was still the same as before, and I came to harass and attack if I had nothing to do." ”

After Taizu unified the Central Plains, he set up thirteen roads, namely Liaodong, Lingbei, Jingbei, Gyeonggi, Jingnan, Guangling, Jiangnan, Jingchu, Nanjiang, Kanto, Guanxi, Tianfu, Yongliang, and Anxicheng is located at the junction of Tianfu Road and Yongliang Road, as the first line of resistance to the demons.

In front of the city of rest is the whole continent divided into two moat mountain range, stretching endlessly, standing majestically, want to climb by manpower alone almost no possibility, only outside the rest of the city there is a narrow section seems to be split by a sharp blade, like a moat, the moat mountain also got its name from this, this place has become the only transportation hub of the "exchange" between the east and the west.

For hundreds of thousands of years, the demons in the west have also crossed the Tianqian Mountain again and again, invading the Central Plains, and the most rampant one has hit the Gyeonggi region, but fortunately, four hundred years ago, there was a big man with the talent of the heavens and latitudes, Chu Ping, the monarch of the Liang Dynasty, Chu Ping, Chu Ping, the heroic, and beat the demons all the way from Gyeonggi to Kansai.

The first pass ever built between the Kansai and Kanto provinces. There is no other name, just call the first level. It was used to defend against the demons, and since then, the demons have not been able to pass the first level.

A hundred years ago, Emperor Taizu of Xuanping was not far behind compared with Chu Ping of Daliang, after the unification of the Central Plains and the end of civil strife. He led his most elite army out of the first pass in the west, knocked the demons back to the west of the Tianqian Mountain, completely recovered the lost territory, and built a resting city outside the Tianqian Mountain.

In the following hundred and ten years, the battles between the demons and Xuanping were also carried out outside the rest of the city, more than ten years ago, after the monarch of the previous generation completely beat the demons honestly, he did not dare to go out of the moat mountain for half a step, that is, in recent years, the demons began to invade the territory frequently, but fortunately, it was just a small fight, and there was no big battle.

"It's good if you don't have it, it's good if you don't have it! The war in the north has just started, the Northern Yuan Empire is menacing, and the West really can't stand the toss. Tao Li said worriedly.

Jiang Shan patted Tao Li's shoulder lightly, and comforted him in a voice: "The West can rest assured, with your brother's Anning Army and Zhigehou's Zhige Army, the demons will not dare to march on a large scale, wait until we clean up the Northern Barbarians, free our hands, and then teach the demons a lesson." ”

Qi Liang also said: "Yes, Lizi, at that time, let's go together to crush the bones and scatter ashes of those demon cubs, peel off their skins and use them as cushions to sit on, and chop off their heads to build a Jingguan as high as Tianqian Mountain." Qi Liang said this to Tao Li, but his eyes swept towards Chen Lu intentionally or unintentionally.

Chen Lu didn't have any change in his expression, just a flash of essence in his purple eyes, Tao Li didn't notice it, but Qi Liang observed it, what Qi Liang didn't know was that he was not the only one who saw this essence.

"Brother Qi, Brother Tao, I see that the two of you are going to the northern battlefield, right?" Chen Lu asked.

"Why don't men bring Wu hooks? Of course I want to go, I'm still going to accumulate military merits and become a martial artist. Qi Liang said arrogantly.

Tao Li also made sure of his head: "My hands were born to hold knives and swing at the Northern Barbarians and Demon Cubs, there will definitely be my Tao Li's name among the kings in the north, and I will make those people in the Northern Yuan Empire pay the price for the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Northern Wu Army." ”

"The two of them are true temperament, true heroes, but the fate of the family is difficult to violate, it is a pity that I can't go to the national disaster with the two, I Chen Lu respects you, I hope the two have a bright future, build a great cause for thousands of years, and leave a reputation for eternity." Chen Lu got up and toasted Tao Li and Qi Liang and said, with a look of regret and regret, as if it was a very painful thing for him not to be able to go into battle to kill the enemy.

"Brother Chen doesn't have to be like this, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and can be considerate, and besides, it is not the only way to serve the country only by personally going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, Brother Chen's family is a good businessman in the Kansai region, and it must be a good deed on weekdays, so why didn't this do his best for the country?" Tao Li also got up and picked up the bowl and comforted Chen Lu, he was moved by Chen Lu's words.

Qi Liang also got up and said to Chen Lu: "What Lizi said is right, Brother Chen doesn't have to worry about this matter. Come, let's drink, drink. ”

"The Tao is different, they are all real men, today the four of us can get together to drink and talk, it is really a great pleasure in life, do it!"

In the Renzi Building on the ninth floor of the Ping'an Building, four young people laughed from time to time, and sighed from time to time.

Whispering squatted on the ground, her eyelids fighting. She buried her head in her knees and said to the light singer: "Sister, when did you say that these four drunkards will finish drinking, I am so sleepy, I miss my soft big bed." ”

Light singing leaned against the wall of the corridor and yawned, shrugged his eyelids and said: "It should be soon, it's going to be ugly soon, it's rare to see the young landlord so happy, let's stay for a while!" ”

Qingyin was just about to speak, when he found that his little head was rubbed by a large hand, and he looked up. It is the young landlord. Frightened, he groaned lightly and quickly buried his head in his knees again.

Jiang Shan gently pinched his soft ears and said in a soft tone: "I'm happy to forget about the two of you, hurry up and go back and rest." ”

Shallow singing and stumbling away happily, Jiang Shan looked at their cheerful figures, and whispered to himself: "I hope you have always been like this, all the time, so far." ”

Halfway through the ugly time, the four of them were almost drunk, Tao Li and Qi Liang supported each other to say goodbye to Jiang Shan and Chen Lu, the latter was not much better than the former. He didn't send him off, but only said that he would visit him another day.

On the bluestone steps outside the Ping'an Building, Zhang Lao was still smacking the old cigarette stick.

After Qi Liang and Tao Li walked out of Ping'an Building, they saw Zhang Lao sitting on the steps, Qi Liang waved his hand at Zhang Lao, and said, "Old man, I drank too much today, and I will invite you to go to Zuimenglou to compare another day!" ”

Zhang Lao only replied with a rolling word, then ignored the two of them, and continued to start swallowing clouds and spitting fog, Tao Li made an apologetic gesture to Zhang Lao, and left quickly with Qi Liang.

Zhang Lao looked at the two distant figures and whispered: "The young man is so good, everything is good, but the reputation is not good." ”

The voice is getting smaller and smaller, and the last low sentence I may not be able to hear, and I don't know if it's name or fate.
