Chapter 35 Singing the Heart
At the beginning of the winter snow, the wind was filled with a fresh smell, and Li Ang stood in the thick snow, looking at the lively streets, and couldn't help but start to puff up. Bitterwater Town is the most vicious place in the borderlands, and these are the words that those veterans often put on their lips when he was in Jade Dragon Fort.
Horse thieves, robbers, thieves, fugitive criminals, rangers who kill people for rewards, outlaws from the barbarian kingdom of Fanbang, and dirty merchants who do shady business, are all there is to Bitterwater. This place, the emperor Lao Tzu can't take care of it when he comes.
"What's the hair?" Huang Quan, who was walking in front, turned his head, looked at Li Ang and asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that I've heard about Kushui Town before, I thought it was..."Looking at the neat and clean streets around him, shouting at the shops doing business, Li Ang shook his head and said.
"Although the people here are all villains and hooligans, there are always some rules to follow." Huang Quan glanced at Li Ang, "But if you stay for a long time, you know that sometimes, what you see with your eyes may not be credible. ”
"I'll tell you what to do, you're always just a passerby." Huang Quan turned around and sighed, "You don't belong here. ”
Looking at Huang Quan's back, Li Ang smiled, this old man in his fifties, in addition to that terrible kung fu, really couldn't see that he had the same bloody and dark past as him. I really don't know if I will be as verbose and sentimental as him when I get old, thinking like this, Li Ang's eyes have more longing for the future, and his sharp gaze has softened a lot.
Pushing open the door of the inn, Huang Quan coldly swept past the men who were staring at them, led Li Ang directly to the shopkeeper's place, and said to Ah Zi who was fiddling with a knife, "Give me a room?" ”
"The third room on the left-hand side upstairs." Ah Zi glanced at Huang Quan, took the copper key from the building sign behind him, and threw it to him casually.
After passing through the crowd that seemed a little crowded, the two went upstairs, and Li Ang glanced back at Ah Zi and asked, "Is he a man or a woman?" ”
"The man is an orphan, Siniang picked him up and raised him since he was a child." Huang Quantou replied without looking back, "I've been with Siniang for a long time, and I look a little like a woman." What, hello that bite? At the end, Huang Quan laughed playfully.
"No, it's just that the way he handles the knife is a little familiar." Li Ang turned his head and looked at Huang Quan and said, "I always feel like I've seen it somewhere." ”
"He learned his knife from me." Huang Quan replied, with smugness in his eyes.
Entering the room, Li Ang looked at Huang Quan, who had no intention of leaving, and asked, "Are you going to live with me?" ”
"I promised to pass on your kung fu, and I won't be repaid." Huang Quan sat down, poured a cup of tea, and drank the next word.
"If you really want to pass it on, your coffin shop is a good place, and no one will bother you." Li Ang shook his head, sat opposite Huangquan, stared at him and said, "You came here because you were afraid that Boss Feng would have an accident, right?" ”
"I can't hide anything from you." Huang Quan put down the teacup and laughed lowly, and after a while, he looked at Li Ang and said, "Commander of the Jinyi Guard, such a big man is here, God knows what will happen!" ”
"I'm just afraid that if she accidentally gets involved, she will provoke people who shouldn't be messed with and things that shouldn't be touched." Huang Quan shook his head.
"Boss Feng, it seems that he is an understanding person." Thinking of the Feng Siniang who was dressed in red clothes and had a graceful demeanor, Li Ang frowned and said.
"No matter how clear you are, you're also a woman." Huang Quan sighed, "Women, they like to be clever, and sometimes they do things they shouldn't do, and they don't know it. ”
"She is a tough person again, just like her mother, she can't pull back the nine cows, if she is provoked, even if the emperor comes, she will not be able to cut it down."
Huang Quan's voice was full of nostalgia, Li Ang didn't speak, just silently drank the tea in the cup, and thought of some people, relatives, confidants, friends, and robes who fought bloodily.
"Where are you going?" Looking at Li Ang, who suddenly got up, Huang Quan was a little surprised, and couldn't guess what he wanted to do.
"Go to the Lord of the Brocade Guard, I want to ask him something." Leon pushed open the door and replied.
"I can't hold my breath!" Huang Quan watched Li Ang's figure disappear at the door, and muttered to himself, "Wouldn't it be better to wait for him to come to you?" If you go to him, won't you send him to the door...", Huang Quan shook his head.
Standing in front of the door, Leon knocked on the door, he knew that he would lose the opportunity in this way, but he was no longer the cold machine that had no blood, no tears, no feelings, no relatives, and no friends. He cares about people and things, people and things that are very important to him.
"Come in, the door isn't closed." Li Zheng held a three-stringed frame, proofreading, and when he heard a knock on the door, he raised his head, said softly, and then plucked the strings.
Li Ang pushed the door in, and saw Li Zheng, who had his eyes slightly closed, and he didn't speak, but just found a place to sit down and listened quietly.
In the inn, there was a sad sound of strings, which made people worry very much, and in the lobby, a group of people who were gambling happily were disturbed by the sound of this string, and they were all scolded.
"What a bird song, playing so badly." …
In the scolding, someone pushed and shoved, wanting to go upstairs and find the person who played the music to be unlucky.
"That's our boss's guest, who is looking for trouble, is to get along with our boss, can't get along with our boss, can't get along with our boss, just can't get along with me."
Cen Ji put down the big bowl of dice, opened his mouth, and calmed everyone at once. The gamblers returned to the big table in a huff, not daring to make any more noise, but could only listen to the sad tune, and gradually, slowly, they were aroused in their hearts.
After a song, Li Zheng put down the three strings, looked at Li Ang with a calm face, and said with a smile, "Li Duwei is much younger and more resolute than I imagined. ”
"Ordinary people will inevitably think of some sad things when they listen to my sultry and sad songs." Li Zheng stared at Li Ang's face and said softly, "But Li Duwei is an exception, he listened quietly from beginning to end, without any movement, which really surprised me!" ”
Listening to Li Zheng's words, Li Ang still sat quietly and didn't answer, like a dull puppet.
"Captain Li's actions have always been unexpected and difficult to handle!" Looking at Li Ang, who didn't speak, and after coming in, Li Zheng sighed without even a single expression.
"The men and horses who responded to Captain Li..."Li Zheng stared at Li Ang's face, catching every slight change, "Hei Gong fought alone in a bloody battle, with one hundred and sixty-seven arrows in his body, and died a tragic death, but it's a pity that my Great Qin is missing a fierce general!" ”
"Thank you, Master Li, and I will say goodbye." Li Ang stood up, his face still calm, but the hand he held trembled a little.
"It's almost cold, but it's not cold-blooded after all, if it's really ruthless, it won't come to me." Looking at the closed door, Li Zheng shook his head and muttered to himself, his usual smile on his face.
Walking back to the room, Li Ang looked at Huang Quan, who was still sitting, and asked quietly, "Can I trust you?" ”
Huang Quan raised his head, met Li Ang's murderous eyes, stood up, and said after a while, "As long as she won't be implicated." ”
"I understand." Li Ang nodded, his voice frighteningly cold, "I want to know who in this town has a shady relationship with the Turks. ”
Huang Quan looked at Li Ang, who was expressionless, and finally said the names of the two merchants.
