Liu Bei and Shi A rode out of Yongmen to the west of the city, there is a big mansion near the west market under the root of the city wall, the plaque on the door is painted with silver hooks and iron, the pen is strong, and it is written "Ding House", the person who writes seems to be not only proficient in calligraphy, but also seems to have a pair of perennial hands to touch the knife and catch the sword.

Liu Bei and Shi A dismounted together and walked to the door. When the boy guarding the gate saw Liu Bei, he seemed to be familiar with each other, opened his immature smiling face, and greeted him: "It turned out to be Liu Jun, but you came to find Jiajun?" ”

Thinking about it, he has been fighting swords in Luoyang for several years, and he has a relationship with Ding Xiao on several sides, and it is difficult to even say hello, Liu Bei is so familiar with him, it seems that he is really useful in the name of a Han clansman!

Don't look at it as just a little boy, Liu Bei was also polite and thoughtful, very polite, and said: "Exactly, forgive Liu Bei for taking the liberty of visiting in a hurry, dare to ask Brother Meng Chen?" "At that time, it was customary that if you went to visit or invite someone else's home, you had to send someone to say hello at least one day in advance, so Liu Bei was presumptuous.

The little boy smiled and said, "Liu Jun and Jiajun are close friends, why should you be presumptuous? It's just a coincidence that the family went out, and I don't know when I will be able to return. ”

"Ah," Liu Bei was stunned, and asked again, "But I don't know when I went?" And where did it go? ”

"I walked for two quarters of an hour, and I didn't leave a word before leaving, and I don't know where I went or when I will return."

At this time, it was past noon, and he couldn't wait for Ding Xiao here, so Jiang Xun over there waited for a long time, and Liu Bei had no choice but to give up. I bought two jars of good pepper and cypress wine in the West Market nearby, which can be regarded as a gift to Jiang Hyun, after all, you can't go empty-handed. After buying wine, he and Shi Ah rode slowly along the moat and went to the south of the city.

On the other hand, because Jiang Hyun was about to run out of money, he was ready to write a letter to the family and ask for money from the housekeeper. He usually writes well, but when he writes a letter to his family, he hesitates, and he thinks about it for a long time before he squeezes out a few words. After lunch, I simply put the family letter aside. Seeing that the four ducks that Jing Zhen had started to prepare yesterday had been dried, he got up and hung the ducks in a specially raised stove, made a fire with jujube wood and pear wood, and instructed Xu Po how to roast them, and he and Jing Wei laid a couch in the courtyard and took a nap.

On the second day of living here, Jiang Xun asked Shi A and Jing Wei to go to Nanshi to hire two mothers-in-law, that is, Chen Yu and Xu Po, these two people are doing rough and fine work, 500 yuan each month, regardless of food and housing, usually sprinkling and sweeping the courtyard, washing and cooking basically cover all the housework, and also let Jing Zhen be more leisurely.

Jing Wei rarely snored this night, Jiang Xun also slept and thought, just held hands with Jing Zhen in a dream, and his little heart was beating "plopping", and he faintly heard a rapid "dong dong" sound. The dream was disturbed, Jiang Xun opened his eyes in a daze, and Chen Yu had already gone to open the door.

The annoying knock on the door passed through the second door, and it went all the way to Jiang Xun's ears, and Chen Yu shouted "Come on, come on!" He ran over and opened the door.

Jiang Hyun struggled to sit up as if he was burdened, and saw a group of people ignoring Chen Yu who opened the door, and walked in directly, crooked their shoulders and legs one by one, saying that they were walking, but it was more like breaking. The first person is a light man at first glance, with a mighty body, not much better than Jing Wei, and in the early autumn weather, there is a handful of chest hair exposed, like a lion showing off his mane.

Seeing that there were two young officials in Tsing Yi behind this group of people, who seemed to be from the government, they knew that the way was not simple. Jiang Hyun got angry with the boss, stared at the light man led by him, and shouted in a low voice: "Wait, who is it?" ”

Seeing that Jiang Hyun's tone was not good, the big man was not angry, but first clasped his fists and saluted, and then said: "In the next Tong season, it must be a new guest in this house, right?" I have to discuss some small things with my subordinates. ”

Tong Ji ...... What do you ask? ”

The light man named Tong Ji looked around the courtyard, and then said: "Please move out and find a place to live, whether it is rent or property damage, we will be rewarded in addition to compensation according to the price." ”

"Oops," as soon as she heard this, Jing Zhen rushed out of the house, trotted to Jiang Hyun's side, squatted down and said, "Childe, I think it's okay." The rent of this house is paid by one, and the time for us to move in is still short, and if he returns the rent, it will be cost-effective. Besides, there is another reward......"

"Zhen'er," Jiang Hyun interrupted Jing Zhen, rubbed her eyes and said, "You take Chen Yu and Xu Po into the house first, and take care of some Xiao Yuan reading, there are me here, and your brother." When Jiang Xun said this, Jing Wei didn't have the slightest intention of waking up.

"Oh!" Jing Zhen has always felt that this place is not far from Yichun Fang, and when she goes out of the alley, she is always afraid that those orchids will come to the door again, and she doesn't seem to want to move out when she listens to Jiang Hyun's words, so she will inevitably be a little disappointed, so she only agreed, and led Chen Yu and Xu Po into the house.

Seeing the three of them enter the house, Jiang Hyun turned his head, still on the couch, pulled him over and leaned on his back, and said, "Smell it, it's okay." ”

"Yes!" Seeing that the other party seemed to have the intention of agreeing, and he was still a scholar, the light man also pretended to be polite and polite, and said with a smile: "I am waiting to do things for the Taiwei Mansion, so naturally I don't want to take the responsibility of disturbing the people." Jin Cao wants to build a warehouse here, as long as he is willing to move away, everything will go well. ”

Jin Cao, subordinate to the Taiwei Mansion, the main currency, salt, iron affairs, its chief officer Jin Cao Peng is one of the twenty-four Pengshi of the Taiwei Mansion, with low weight. Jin Cao wanted to demolish and build, so he found some light chivalrous and evil young people, and the city fox society rat came out. In many cases, it is more efficient to find these people who are not black and white, than to dispatch small officials and soldiers. Jiang Hyun understands very well that these people seem to be persuading each other with good words, but if they don't move out according to their words, they will do some pickled and disgusting things and harass them often, and at worst they will fight hard. If they follow them, most of the compensation and rewards they promise will not be honored.

Seemingly disgusted that the afternoon sun was a little dazzling, Jiang Xun squinted his eyes and said, "If you don't move, how will you be?" ”

If it was said by someone else, Tong Ji would have slapped him a long time ago when he heard this, it can be seen that Jiang Xun is young and still a scholar who has read books, and after being slightly stunned, he still said calmly: "It is inevitable to be rude." ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to be rude, Jiang Xun raised his eyebrows and said, "Shi Zitai, have you ever known each other?" ”

"But Shiro? I heard that I recently returned to Luoyang, but I have heard about it, how are you doing? ”

"Then, what about Cao Mengde?"

The big man thought that Jiang Hyun was really scaring him by mentioning the relationship, so he said impatiently: "Although Yilang is also in the Taiwei Mansion, he is a subordinate of Guangluxun, what does he have to do with me Jin Cao?" It's Shiro and Cao Yilang who are in person, and you have to move out too! ”

"It's good if you don't know each other, then you don't need to save face."

The big man felt that Jiang Hyun's eyes were awe-inspiring, and he didn't want this stinky child to dare to go against him, so he shouted angrily: "What do you mean? ”

"Easy to fight! …… Easy ...... Yi Zhi ......" Jiang Xun shouted Jing Wei, seeing that Jing Wei did not react, he turned his head to look, but Jing Wei never woke up.

Jiang Xun was so angry that his eyebrows were about to twist together, and he slapped Jing Wei awake. Jing Wei sat up with a "hula" and asked in a daze, "Ah...... Yes...... Jiang Jun...... What......

"Yi Zhi, it's a fight!" Jiang Hyun slapped Jing Wei on the back again, Jing Wei was completely awakened at this moment, and there was a group of people standing on the opposite side, and at a glance, he knew that the person who came was not good. There is no need to ask the reason, he stood up with "Teng", picked up the wooden dwarf next to him with one hand as a weapon, and just hit it.

Seeing that Jiang Hyun and Jing Wei, who had been sleeping soundly, made their moves first, these evil teenagers were not afraid of stabbing their heads, and they raised their fists, raised their legs and feet, and started fighting. Jiang Hyun kicked alternately with his two legs, and his legs did not fall short. After the dwarf table in Jing Wei's hand knocked down the two evil boys, it was shattered, and then the old fist was opposed.

A group of rabble were Jiang Xun and Jing Wei's opponents, and after a while, they were knocked out of the gate, with blue noses and swollen faces, and there were still a few on the ground in the inner and outer courtyards.

Jiang Hyun stood at the gate, rolled up his sleeves, pointed to his feet, and said word by word: "Wait until you dare to step into this Qingping Alley again, see it once, beat it once!" ”

This group of evil teenagers usually fly high and run rampant in the streets, but now they have the support of Jin Cao Peng, how can they swallow this breath? Tong Ji touched Bobo's bleeding nose and shouted, "Someone! Come! ”

The light heroes and evil young people in the streets and alleys of the city are different from swordsmen and rangers like Shi A, they don't have any skills, except for relying on their brave and ruthless courage, they rely on a shout, and thousands of people obey. Although Tong Ji's shout did not attract thousands of people, he called several teams of people nearby who were helping Jin Cao to do things together, no less than a hundred or so people, and there was a flood outside the gate, among which there were more than a dozen Tsing Yi officials, who should be Jin Cao's people.

Tong Ji took out a short stick from his waist, pointed at Jiang Xun and scolded: "You are not filial, dare to beat Naigong!" ”

It's a dog. As soon as he heard the light man scolding such vulgar words, Jiang Hyun was extremely angry, so he stood on the steps condescendingly, kicked the ground with his right foot behind him, and his center of gravity rushed forward into a lunge, and then his left foot was externally rotated to raise his knee, and at the same time, he raised his right foot above his head with his waist and hips.

This "leg splitting" is a stunt that Jiang Hyun has practiced hard, and he specializes in dealing with his third brother. The third brother Jiang Chen is only eleven years old, young and short, but six or seven adults can't get close to him, and only Jiang Xun can barely subdue him by using this trick to use his height advantage. Standing on the steps at this time, much higher than Tong Ji, if the heel hits the door of the head, he will either die or be disabled. Jiang Hyun didn't want to make a big deal and kill again, so he calculated the distance just enough to slash his head with the soles of his feet.

Tong Ji didn't expect Jiang Xun to dare to make a move when he saw that he was too crowded. In a hurry, he saw Jiang Hyun's raised feet and wanted to smash it himself, but he didn't have time to retreat, so he had to drag the short stick with both hands to block. "Click", the short stick broke into two, and this kick was still kicked on the head, but fortunately the short stick was broken and unloaded a lot of strength, only to be lifted dizzy, otherwise even if Jiang Hyun had the strength to stay, he would have to faint on the spot. Jing Wei also followed Jiang Hyun, grabbed his arms and rushed into the crowd, and immediately knocked over five or six evil boys.

Seeing that Jiang Hyun and Shi A were so brave, a group of light chivalrous and evil young people pulled out their guys one after another, which was nothing more than a long stick and a short stick, and they had to rush to the top of their game. Jiang Hyun is quite skilled in technical attacks, and Jing Wei also has brute strength, but the two fought empty-handed, and they still couldn't gain the upper hand.

At this moment, from the entrance of the alley, a deep and long voice came from a distance: "Stop! ”

Including Jiang Hyun and Shi A, more than 100 people stopped one after another and looked towards the alley.

There were three people at the entrance of the alley, and the two behind were Liu Bei who was holding two jars of wine and Shi A who was leading the horse, Liu Bei and Shi A both pressed their hands on the hilt of the sword, if this group of light chivalrous and evil young people wanted to do it again, they were ready to draw their swords and go up. The first to shout This person is about thirty, dressed in a green shirt, with a short beard, a shallow scar on the corner of his mouth on the left side, his eyebrows and eyes are chic, his expression reveals fortitude, and the most eye-catching thing is that he is holding a seven-foot sword in his arms. Jiang Hyun didn't know this person.

The man in the green shirt walked closer, stared at Tong Ji and said, "Do you know whose property is this house in Qingping Lane?" ”

Tong Ji was also mixed on the ground in Luoyang, how could he not know the situation here. He rubbed his swollen head that was kicked by Jiang Hyun, and said, "I know that it is from Yichun Fang, and Qingfeng is taking care of it, how about it?" ”

The man in the green shirt turned sideways slightly, lowered his eyes, and didn't seem to want Tong Ji, who was talking opposite, to dirty his eyes, and still said unhurriedly: "Then do you know, who am I?" ”

Tong Ji walked closer and carefully looked at the man opposite, the green shirt was down, and there was a scar on the corner of his mouth, especially the long, wide, and very conspicuous big sword, how could he not recognize it? Suddenly, his eyebrows drooped, his spine was bent, and he was timid at first glance, and stammered: "Mo ...... Could it be ...... Could it be ...... Your Excellency is the ...... of Qingfeng Ding Jun? ”

The man in the green shirt didn't speak, he was a tacit acquiescence, he was the sword hero in the Eight Tigers of Luoyang, the leader of the first gang of Qingfeng in Luoyang, Ding Xiao.

Tong Ji glanced back at the little official sent by Jin Cao behind him, straightened his waist again, pretended to be bold, and said: "The prestige of Jianhao is known to everyone, but now he is doing things for the Taiwei Mansion, this ......"

"Hugh took the Taiwei Mansion to press me!" Ding Xiao finally looked at Tong Ji, "Hugh said that it was the little Jin Cao Peng, even the third prince himself, and no one was allowed to provoke the tenants of Qingping Lane!" ”
