Chapter Twenty-Three
Today's snow falls, and the city is covered in silver. The mountains are capped, the Luo River is vast, and the scenery of the north country has its own heroic atmosphere.
The weather is absolutely cold, that is, in the city of Luoyang, there are few pedestrians.
In the evening, a man walked on the long quiet street, tall and tall, and quite handsome. should have been an eye-catching character, but unfortunately he was dressed in green clothes, the old was old, and he was sewn and mended and even torn everywhere, looking really cold.
This man swaggered through the market, raised his feet into the Dongcheng Colony Goods, walked a few more steps, and stopped in front of the Zuisheng Building.
Needless to say, this person who has good looks and temperament, but does not match all the clothes and accessories, is Pei Guo. Whether it is to find out the whereabouts of "Ying Mei", or to track down the death case of Yuen Long, it is the best choice to come to this drunken building.
It didn't take long for the drunken building to open, but it was a good market and business was booming. Especially Zhai Miaoer and other pillars, because of their picturesque eyebrows and good music and dance segments, they have become famous and well-known in the city.
Recently, the curfew in the city has been ended, and the door of the drunken building is wide open, and the lights are colorful, and the snow is swept away. People came and went, and many people cast strange glances at Pei Guo, who was always independent outside the door.
Pei Guo didn't care, shrugged his shoulders, and strode towards the building.
Pity... One, two, and three turtle slaves rushed over and stopped him with a raised hand.
Pei Guoyi frowned: "What are you doing?" ”
"What to do?" The turtle slave's flesh trembled: "I want to ask you, what do you want to do?" ”
"Naturally, it's a pastime to go into the building."
"Pastime?" The three turtle slaves laughed out loud in unison, and one of them laughed endlessly: "Do you know what kind of place this is?" It's up to you? Go in for fun? ”
Not only was the turtle slave laughing, but the men and women passing by seemed to be pointing and laughing. Pei Guo felt a burst of heat on his face, and then he saved: It turned out that this was the first time in his life that he had run to a brothel so openly, indeed... I am indeed a little overwhelmed ...
Pei Guo was not stupid, he knew that this was caused by the shabby green clothes on his body, and he had the heart to shout: "I have money!" "Where are you embarrassed to speak?
Three punches and two kicks knocked down these blind turtle slaves, and broke in? But I can't help it--- Xiu said that this is in Luoyang City, and he is an official because he is big and small, and he fights in a brothel, and he is afraid that he will not give people a joke to death, and he will scold people when he hears it; Let's just say that bullying by force is not Pei Guo's style of doing things. Besides, punch in, and then what? Do you still want to see Zhai Miaoer?
Pei Guo was worried for a while, the pestle was not advancing there, nor was it retreating, and he was blushing.
The turtle slaves became more and more proud, and booed again and again. Pei Guo was already angry.
At this time, a turtle slave suddenly bullied the general, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was waiting to pull Pei Guo's clothes. Pei Guo was furious, where could he be close? The probe led one after another, and the turtle slave flew out in an instant, crashing into the snow bushes on the side of the road, and when he looked up again, he was full of snow ballast, crying and mourning, so he was not embarrassed.
The other two turtle slaves didn't know the depth, and when they saw this, they pounced together. Pei Guo sneered, swept down one leg first, and then easily jumped forward, already around the back of the other turtle slave, grabbed the back of the neck, and with a little force, the whole guy was carried in the air, shaking his hands and feet. Pei Guo waved his hand, and the ghost cried wolf and flew into the snow.
Pei Guo's few blows were as fast as lightning, fast and ruthless. Among the onlookers on the side, the ordinary people only felt dazzled, and they didn't know how to make his hand, and they saw the three turtle slaves lying on the ground in front of them, and they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
There was no more laughter around him, but the pointing and pointing were increasing.
Pei Guo had thin skin in the end, and at this time he had already lost the interest in entering the building, so he turned around and left. Then he heard the shouting behind him: "Hugh away! The person who beat me up and still wants to leave? ”
There are more than a dozen people in the building, and many of them carry short rods and iron rulers, presumably they are all the nursing homes of this drunken building. The onlookers shouted and got out of the way, but they couldn't move away, most of them made up their minds to see a lively scene.
This time, Pei Guo made another difficulty, he didn't go, he didn't go, he didn't go--- he just ran away, it was absolutely impossible, he really couldn't afford to lose that face; Keep fighting? It's naturally not a problem to beat up this dry nursing home, the question is, how to clean it up later? Self is a "mission", the more low-key the better, who would have thought, the first time I came to this drunken building, I caused a commotion...
It turned out that he was in this Luoyang City, looking at the wind and the moon, but in fact, he was restrained everywhere, and it was no longer the desert of the six towns in the past, or the battlefield of swords, a "happy enmity" was enough.
If you knew this was the case, you should have prepared for it. Pei Guo regretted it a little, and when he was at a loss, he suddenly came up to several people, and the first one yelled at the guards: "Blind dog's eye!" Get the hell out of here! ”
In just a roar, more than a dozen nursing homes changed in shock, and they didn't dare to say a word, they all rushed away with their heads in their arms, and there was no shadow in the blink of an eye. Even among the onlookers on the side, when they saw this person at a glance, many people turned their heads and left.
Pei Guo was stunned: Who is this? Such a majestic style?
When I raised my eyes to look, I saw that the person who came was a man in the prime of life, short and stout, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and belonged to a loyal appearance that made people feel good at a glance. This person's clothes are not necessarily very luxurious, but in his gestures, he is indeed full of style, even a few followers behind him, and they are also very proud.
Pei Guo nodded, and secretly thought: This person... Lo and behold, it's not bad.
The nurses rushed into the drunken building and disappeared, but a few people rushed out of the building, and they came quickly to meet the middle-aged man, shouting: "Oh, the noble man is here, the noble man is here." Hurry up, hurry up, be affectionate! He looked humble and smirked.
The middle-aged man didn't appreciate it, snorted coldly, and said, "As the saying goes, don't bully young people to be poor!" What's more, it's still such an extraordinary young hero? You drunken buildings, hum! It's just a dog's eye! ”
"Yes, yes, what the noble man said." The one who spoke must have been the steward in the drunken building, nodding his head and waist, and he was sincerely afraid: "It's always me who waits wrong, the nobleman is angry, the nobleman is angry." ”
The middle-aged man ignored the steward, walked over in a few steps, and arched his hand towards Pei Guoyi: "This Lang Jun... The face is very raw, but the newly arrived Jingshi? ”
Pei Guo returned the salute: "Not bad." But he thought to himself, "What are these words?" With a population of hundreds of thousands, is it possible that you recognize them all?
"Haha!" The middle-aged man smiled: "The meeting of Pingshui is fate. Can you ask this Lang Jun with his surname? ”
Pei Guo frowned, and he didn't want to answer from the bottom of his heart, but because of this person's "righteous speech", he finally relieved himself, and he was not too cold, so he coughed lightly and replied: "Under Pei Guo." ”
"Pei Guo?" The middle-aged man's eyes widened, staring Pei Guo up and down.
Pei Guo felt uncomfortable, and the little good impression he had for this person was gone. I didn't want the middle-aged man to ask again: "But the secretary Zhong Lulang Pei Guo?" ”
Pei Guo sighed in his heart: Is it possible... This person is also a member of officialdom? Hurriedly said, "Exactly." When he was about to leave, the middle-aged man was already laughing: "It turns out that you are Pei Guo!" Hahahaha! A few days ago, I heard that King Jiangyang was asking for officials everywhere for the descendants of his old friends, but I didn't expect it to be you! ”
The noise was very loud, and although some people had left around, there were still many left, and there was a burst of pointing and pointing when they heard the words. Pei Guo only felt embarrassed, his face changed, and the look of displeasure was evident on his face.
The middle-aged man didn't seem to see it, but instead reached over, put it on Pei Guo's arm, and said, "I also have some friendship with King Jiangyang. That being the case, let's take a walk, Zhong Lulang will follow me into the building for a while, drink a few glasses of happy water and wine to warm up, haha. ”
Pei Guo was already in a bad mood, where was he willing to follow? Because of this, people said that they had a friendship with Jiangyang Wang Yuanji, and it was not good to attack on the spot, so they had to be patient and said: "Thank you brother Tai for your kindness." However, there are still some important things to do at home today, so I went back. After a pause, he said, "Thank you Brother Tai for the matter of Fang Cai." I also want to ask my brother Tai Daimyo to thank you another day. ”
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then he sneered: "What? I don't give Hu Sichun face? ”
"Hu Si Chun?" This time it was Pei Guo's turn to open his eyes and be taken aback. In the desert at the beginning, in fact, Pei Guo also had an intersection with Hu Sichun, but it was dark that day and night, and the two had never faced each other, so naturally he didn't know Hu Sichun's appearance, and the time was long, and he couldn't even remember his voice.
Really make people not look good--- look at this person's loyalty, speak majesticly, even if he acts a little abruptly, shouldn't he be a bad person? I don't want to, but it is the notorious "Jackal Shangshu", no wonder everyone is afraid and avoids as soon as he appears.
Pei Guoxing rushed here today, and he couldn't see Zhai Miao'er to find out the news, in the end, there will always be a chance in the future. Unexpectedly, he first ate a few turtle slaves and laughed, and then asked the onlookers to point fingers, and he was already hot-skinned and in a bad mood. As a result, bumping into this person, he actually reported his name with a ghost shout, and I am afraid that many people have heard it in their ears. It's not over.,In the end, when I asked.,This person turned out to be the "Fierce Jackal Shangshu" deity.。。。
Before and after, how can Pei Guo still have a good impression of Hu Sichun? At this time, his heart suddenly boiled with anger and could not be suppressed. In a cold snort, he raised his arm and shook off Hu Sichun's hand, and in the sound of "farewell", he didn't look back.
Hu Sichun's entourage was furious, and they waited for the siege to come, but asked Hu Sichun to wave his hand to stop. Hu Sichun looked at Pei Guo's back, and seemed to be smiling: "Pei Guo, Pei Guo... Interesting, interesting... ”
On the second floor of the drunken building, I don't know when I quietly opened half a window, and there was a rare graceful figure hidden behind the window, with bright eyes, as if staring at the distant back...
。。。。。。
Pei Guo returned depressed, and when he lowered his head and was about to walk to the door, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Pei boy! ”
You don't need to ask, this is exactly the voice of Jiangyang Wang Yuanji. The old man took the initiative to say hello for the first time, Pei Guo couldn't help but be happy, and when he wanted to step forward to give a salute, he heard Yuan Ji's voice endlessly: "It's so late again!" Every day, I see you not doing your job properly, wandering around, it's a shame on me! Two days later is the day of the day, the day of the great court, you, you, don't forget! With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Pei Guo was stunned on the spot, and became more and more stunned.
