Chapter Ninety-Three: Chang'an Drunk



Month, under the supervision of Lu Ziqing, Li Ang adapted to the identity of a scholar, and his life was to practice calligraphy and painting, twelve hours a day, he had six hours to stand in front of the desk, hanging stones on his wrists, hanging pens to practice calligraphy, and learning to paint landscape paintings along the way.

With a long sigh of relief, Li Ang put down the wolf's hair, looked at the thousand-character text, and was a little relieved, after coming to Daqin, although he also wrote three years with a brush, but the words written in those three years together were not as good as those in these days, and he wrote more in half a day.

"Yes, strong and qualitative, simple and heavy, you can take it out to meet people!" After reading the thousand-character text, Lu Ziqing nodded, picked up a pair of autumn rain mountain residences on the desk, and sighed, "But on the painting path of Master Li, although the brushwork has arrived at home, this artistic conception is still a little weaker." ”

Li Ang smiled bitterly in his heart, if he hadn't learned to draw military maps before and knew some knowledge of drawing, he really didn't know how to deal with this Mr. Lu, who was a little crazy.

"Come, Master Li, let's play another game." Lu Ziqing didn't care that Li Ang had been standing for several hours, walked straight to the chessboard, raised his fingers lightly, picked up the sunspot and slapped it on the chessboard. Li Ang could only pick up the white son and play against him.

"Master Li's gesture of playing chess has been done in a chic manner, and it doesn't matter." Watching Li Ang play chess, he calmly and elegantly played chess from beginning to end, Lu Ziqing said with a smile, "As for Ledao, Master Li is a national player, so there is no need to try again." ”

"Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, Master Li doesn't need to worry about it, it's just this swordsmanship. I have to carve it a little more, get rid of the bloodthirsty killing aura, and be a little more calm and graceful. Lu Ziqing looked at Li Ang, who was slowly standing like a forest, and said with satisfaction, "When Lord Li goes out at this time, he will say that he is the son of the Xun family and the Sima family, and no one will suspect it!" ”

"Mr. Lu. Is this the end of it? Hearing what Lu Ziqing said, Li Ang asked, he has spent most of the month in the study and has not gone out.

"It's over, someone will come tomorrow. Teach Master Lee swordsmanship. Lu Ziqing nodded and pushed open the door of the study, "Master Li has been bored for so long, go out to breathe, right?" ”

Walking out with Lu Ziqing, Li Ang only saw the two Kunlun slaves called Hei Mo and Hei Luo waiting outside, looking deferential. "Mr. Lu, these two?"

"Shanyang is the boundary of Qingzhou, Qingzhou has developed maritime transportation, and many large families also raise Kunlun slaves at home. Master Li pretended to be Li Liuru's son, and there were two Kunlun slaves in his family. Lu Ziqing replied. Then he looked at the two Kunlun slaves beside him and said, "Although the two of them are Kunlun slaves. However, there is my Daqin's household registration, and he is a good foot fighter drawn by the Jinling Metropolitan Protectorate, and he is good at using heavy swords, and with them by Lord Li's side, it can be regarded as two more good hands available. ”

"I've seen Master Li." Listening to the Chinese dialect of Hei Mo and Hei Luo, Li Ang nodded, looked at the two of them carefully, and saw that both of them were strong. The face is generous, and the gaze is obedient.

"Lord Lu. I don't know how many Kunlun slaves there are in my Daqin? Li Ang's gaze withdrew from Hei Mo and Hei Luo, and looked at Lu Ziqing beside him and asked.

"I heard that 20 years ago, the number of newspapers in the south was about 600,000." Lu Ziqing replied, "However, over the years, the Kunlun slaves in Heizhou Africa have come voluntarily on our merchant ships, and I heard that the number of Kunlun slaves in Jiaozhou, Nanyang and other places has reached nearly one million. ”

"In Heizhou, many Kunlun slaves do not have enough to eat, and various tribes often fight with each other, and life is extremely miserable." Lu Ziqing looked at Hei Mo and Hei Luo, and said to Li Ang, "They fled to Daqin with their parents when they were children. ”

Walking to the gate of the courtyard, Lu Ziqing Dynasty Li Ang bowed his hand and said, "Master Li doesn't need to send it, I will leave here." ”

Looking at Lu Ziqing's figure in the distance, Li Ang thought that there was still such a person in Dongchang, and he couldn't help but look forward to the swordsman who would come tomorrow, and he didn't know what that person could teach him?

Walking back to the courtyard and looking at the people who were already accustomed to dressing up as scholars, Li Ang suddenly found that Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang were not there, and couldn't help frowning and said, "What about Siniang and Feng Shuang?" ”

"Childe, the two young ladies went to see the store, saying that they wanted to take down the wine shop next to our house and do some business, so as to save themselves from being idle all day and having nothing to do!" Trist replied on the side, his eyes secretly looking at Li Ang, afraid that he would be unhappy about Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang's affairs.

"It's good to find something to do, it's not a good thing to be bored in the house all day." Leon muttered to himself, and then went straight to the study with Trist, he had something to do.

After telling Trist about Xicheng and Xishi, Li Ang said, "You find that family and ask them to inquire about the various gangs at the dock for me, remember, don't let others know." ”

"Don't worry, Childe, I will definitely handle this matter." Trist replied, but after thinking about it, he finally opened his mouth to persuade Li Angdao, "Childe, when I was a scribe before, Jing Zhaoyin didn't want to take care of the affairs of the West City Wharf, but he didn't dare to take care of it, there have been several Jing Zhao Yin who collected evidence in the past, and wanted to thoroughly investigate the gangs that controlled the coolies at the West City Wharf, but in the end, they all fell into the sea, and one of them was found and dismissed from his official position, this matter is not easy to manage!" ”

"I know what you're worried about, but I don't expect the civil servants of the court to take care of this." Looking at Trist with a worried face, Leon smiled and said, "You go, I have my own ideas about this matter." ”

"Since the son has a strategy, I will be relieved." Seeing Li Ang say this, Trist nodded, turned around and walked out of the study, and went straight to the old street of Xicheng.

In front of the dilapidated tiled house, Trist raised the hat on his head and knocked on the door, "But the Jing family?" ”

There was a thin woman who opened the door, and when she saw Trist who had taken off her hat, she couldn't help but be stunned, and her expression was a little guarded, "Who are you, what are you doing looking for my house?" ”

"Captain Li came with me and sent some money and goods." Looking at the woman's premature old face, Trist couldn't help but feel heavy when he thought that there were many such people in this West City.

"It's Captain Li who asked you to come, fast forward, fast forward." Hearing that it was sent by Li Duwei, who had saved his family that day, the woman hurriedly welcomed Trist into the door, poured herbal tea for him, and walked to the inner room, "I'll go and tell my man to get up." ”

"No, if his leg injury is not healed, I should go to see him, Captain Li just has something to ask him for." Trist followed the woman to his feet and went into the inner chamber together.

Seeing the blonde Triste, Jing Leng and Jing Han who were surrounding his father couldn't help but be a little curious, they had never seen Fanbang people since they were children, and Jing Li had already heard the words of his wife outside when he was lying on the bed, and knew that this was a person sent by the life-saving benefactor, so he struggled to stand up and saluted Trist.

After letting his wife and two sons out, Jing Li looked at Trist and said, "I don't know what the benefactor commands, even if Jing Li wants to fight for his life, it doesn't matter." "After most of it

Raise, this once dying man is already ruddy and angry

"Captain Li wants you to keep an eye on the affairs of the various gangs on the dock for him, and you can inquire as much as you can." Trist looked at the simple man in front of him, told him what Li Ang meant, and as he spoke, he took out a bag of gold baht from his arms and said, "This money is used by Captain Li to inquire about the news." ”

"How can this work, it's just to inquire about the news, and it doesn't take so much?" Jing Li looked at the heavy bag of gold baht, and hurriedly said, he has a pure temperament, Li Ang saved his life, and it is a kindness that cannot be repaid for him, but he refuses to accept this money by saying anything.

"Why are you so confused!" Seeing that Jing Li refused to accept it, Trist couldn't help but be anxious, "You don't spend money on those people, how can you inquire and get useful news." ”

Seeing that Trist said solemnly, and Jing Li was not an elm pimple, he accepted the bag of gold baht, but swore to the sky before Trist left, saying that he would never use this gold baht for his own enjoyment, which made Trist sigh that he had met a dead-eyed honest man, and couldn't help but worry about whether he could get much useful news.

Walking out of the house, Trist put on a hat, took out a dozen gold baht and handed it to Jing Shidao, who sent him out, "Captain Li has urgent military affairs recently, so he can't come over, you can use this money." ”

Jing Shi held the dozen gold baht in a daze, and it was not until Trist walked away that she came back to her senses, she didn't expect that the cold-looking young officer was such a careful and good person, so worried about their family.

Walk on the streets of West Town. Trist suddenly lowered his hat and walked faster and faster, picking out the small alleys where there were few people.

Seeing that the blue-clothed man wearing a hat in front of him suddenly lost his figure, Sanxian couldn't help but get anxious, and he didn't care if he would be discovered, so he ran forward, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered an alley, he felt a chill on his neck. Frightened, his face turned pale, and he didn't dare to move half a step, just looked at the half-inch tip of the knife in front of his neck, and said slowly, "Uncle spare your life!" ”

"Who are you and why are you stalking me?" Trist pressed his throat. asked in a low voice, this little man had been following him for a long time, but he was really poorly tracked, but he was discovered when he left the dirt street where Jing's house was located.

"Uncle, what does this mean, if you rob money, there will be three copper tons on the small one." The three shrimps cried and said with a sad face, unaware that they thought he was telling the truth.

"It looks like you don't give up without seeing the coffin." Trist snorted coldly, and the blade tightened. pulled a thin mouth on his neck, and immediately bluffed the little ruffian called Sanshrimp and begged for mercy.

"Uncle. Don't, don't. The little ones say, say. The three shrimps were so frightened that their legs trembled, "Small, the little one is called the three shrimps, it was Boss Yan who asked me to look at the Jing family, saying that if someone went to his house, let me follow someone and inquire about the details." ”

"What does that Boss Yan do?" Trist's blade loosened a little. Let the little ruffian called the three shrimp land settle down.

"Great, uncle. Boss Yan is the big boss of Xicheng Tianmen Casino. ”

Removing the blade, and before the little ruffian could turn his head, Trist stuned him with the handle of his sword, dragged him into the shadows of the alley, pulled his hat, and left as if nothing had happened.

At night, when he returned to the mansion, Trist told Li Ang all the things of the day, "Childe, I inquired, that Tianmen gambling house is not a small underworld force in Xicheng, and there are no less than three hundred gangs under his hands, but I haven't heard that they have anything to do with any family or court officials." ”

"Don't worry about them, as long as they don't know my identity, this matter is in a hurry, so let's do this first." Li Ang thought for a moment and said, "By the way, you ask Lao Cen to pay more attention to the black and white forces in Chang'an in the future." ”

Walking out of the study, Li Ang went straight to the front hall, Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang bought the wine shop not far from their house, and they didn't know how they discussed.

"Let's mainly sell wine, the old lady doesn't believe it, so she can't sell the natural Baqiaochun." Far away, Li Ang heard Feng Siniang's voice, and couldn't help laughing, his Earth Wind Boss Lady finally came back.

"What kind of wine, so expensive, actually costs 300 gold baht a jar?" Li Ang stepped into the front hall, looked at Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang and asked with a smile, to be honest, although he had heard of the name of the natural residence, he had never heard of the wine.

"It's a natural dwelling, a unique secret place, Baqiao Spring." Seeing the puzzlement in Li Ang's eyes, Lin Fengshuang replied, "It is said that it is a sake brewed by natural living with Baqiao snow water in winter, and after drinking, the aftertaste is endless, and only 100 jars are sold every day, which is still in short supply?" ”

"Oh, when is it time to get a jar and taste it, and see what a way to get a lingering taste." After hearing this, Li Ang smiled and said, "It's only three hundred gold baht, which is really expensive." ”

"Hmph, what an aftertaste is endless, it's not as good as my ice at all, it's just relying on fame to bluff people." Feng Siniang said indignantly on the side, quite unfair.

"Wind and Frost, have you drunk that wine?" Li Ang looked at Lin Fengshuang, and the cry of wind and frost in his mouth was extremely natural.

"Sister Feng and I saw that you were forced to write again in the morning, so we went to the street together to watch the excitement." Lin Fengshuang glanced at Li Ang, but her heart was beating for the wind and frost, and she said with joy in her eyes, "Who would have thought that when I met that Xun Gongzi, he had to invite Sister Feng and me to go to the natural residence, and after drinking that Baqiao Chun, Sister Feng would..."

"How much did you spend on that meal?" Hearing that Xun Rizhao was coming again, Li Ang couldn't help frowning, and secretly glanced at Feng Siniang, that nerd was not her opponent!

"It's not much, it's just five thousand gold baht!" Feng Siniang looked at Li Ang and said proudly, "Sister Lin and I drank a total of ten jars of Baqiao Chun, you didn't see his face, it's really interesting." ”

"Ten altars." Li Ang was stunned, but he was soon relieved, who are Lin Fengshuang and Feng Siniang, one used to be the commander of tens of thousands of iron horses, and the other was the proprietress who opened a black shop, and it was really nothing with ten jars of sake.

"By the way, tell me, I sell it in Chang'an, what's my name?" Feng Siniang suddenly looked at Li Ang, "You have been with that surnamed Lu for so long, you should know how to take Fengya's name." ”

"Siniang, the ice you brew is an out-and-out spirit, and if you sell it in Chang'an, it will be called Chang'an drunk." Leon smiled.

"Chang'an drunk, drunk Chang'an. It's a good name, Sister Feng, let's use this name, right? After Lin Fengshuang heard this, his eyes lit up.

"Well, Chang'an is drunk, drunk Chang'an. It's quite tasteful, just use this! Feng Siniang read it and decided on the name of this liquor that would earn a lot of money for Li Ang in the future.
