Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On the high wooden platform, the sound of silk and bamboo is pleasant, and strings of beautiful notes jump like pearls to the lobby on the third floor of the alum building.

In an elegant room on the second floor of the Autumn Building, Li Yanqing and his partners are gathering together, drinking to celebrate Li Yanqing winning the first place in the final today, in addition to Yue Fei and Wang Gui, there is also a special guest today, that is, Yang Zaixing of Taiyuan Mansion, Yang Zaixing also played well today, winning the fourteenth place with a score of seventy-three points, but this is the fourteenth place in the Hanhu Mixed Competition, if the Song Dynasty warriors are listed alone, he is ranked eighth, according to the rules, the top ten in the single column will participate in tomorrow's competition, Yang Zaixing will also have a chance tomorrow.

The heroic deeds of the Yang family general in the Song Dynasty have been spread all over the world, I heard that Yang Zaixing is the descendant of the famous general Yang Ye, everyone has special respect for him, and they all ask him about the deeds of his ancestors.

Yang Zaixing smiled bitterly: "In fact, it is not as divine as everyone says, but the children of the Yang family have kept in mind the legacy of their ancestors for generations, defended the family and the country, and fought against the Tartars, all men began to learn martial arts at the age of six, and studied at the age of seven, both civil and military, my father also wanted me to study Taixue, but I wanted to join the army, this time I returned to Taiyuan I hope to join the family army, and my father no longer opposes me." ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zaixing looked at Li Yanqing, his eyes were full of expectation, Li Yanqing understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "No problem, I will write a letter to Chong Shuai, he still owes me a favor, I believe that Brother Yang will get the respect of Chong Shuai." ”

Yang Zaixing was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up to salute, "Thank you Yanqing for standing up for me!" ”

Li Yanqing raised his glass and smiled faintly: "This is actually your own struggle, without your own outstanding performance in the bow horse competition, it would be useless for me to write a hundred letters." ”

"Good wine here!"

Wang Gui tasted the wine, drank the wine all, he was a little fast and couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, in today's competition he once again played at a super level, ranked 37th, and entered the 40th place in the step bow, which simply made his heart flutter.

Tang Huai hurriedly touched him with his arm and gave him a look, Wang Gui paid attention to Niu Gao with a gloomy face, but Niu Gao did not have Wang Gui's luck, and was eliminated in the top forty competition, he even entered the top 100, ranking behind the one hundred and fifty.

Wang Gui sat next to Niu Gao, put his arms around his shoulders and said with a smile: "Don't be depressed, Lao Niu, our Bugong was originally a foil, and we didn't even have the opportunity to bet, not as beautiful as Lao Li, why don't I call a beautiful girl to sing and relieve boredom?" ”

Niu Gao gently pushed him away, "I can think of it, but your kid stinks all over after drinking, don't you know?" ”

"Lao Li, Lao Niu said that I stink all over when I drink, what do you think?"

Li Yanqing lowered his head and sniffed, and hurriedly fanned his nose and said, "A smell of stinky meat, what's the matter with you kid?" ”

"No, it won't!" Wang Gui was a little frightened, and hurriedly said to Tang Huai: "You smell it!" ”

Tang Huai made a disgusting look and wanted to vomit, "Don't let me smell it, I'm going to vomit!" ”

"Fifth brother!"

Wang Gui hurriedly got up and ran to Yue Fei, "Do I have a smell on my body?" ”

Yue Fei sniffed, "It's tasteless!" Doesn't it smell a little bit of alcohol? It's normal! ”

Wang Gui suddenly woke up, looked back, and saw Li Yanqing and a few people with their heads down and sneering, he hated it in his heart, rushed up and grabbed Niu Gao's neck and said fiercely: "Starting with you, I will strangle you one by one." ”

At this time, a person walked in quickly from outside and asked urgently, "Is Li Shaojun here?" ”

Everyone suddenly quieted down, looked back, and saw a middle-aged man in a brocade robe, Li Yanqing recognized him, it was the big shopkeeper of the alum building, surnamed Wei, when he first promoted Baoyanzhai, he specially came to the store in Xinqiao.

"Shopkeeper Wei, what's the matter?" Li Yanqing walked out and asked.

"Li Shaojun take his friends and leave! I'm sorry I won't accept today's drink. ”

Wang Gui was furious, stepped forward and grabbed him by the placket and said, "Fool! Is there such a rush to guests? ”

Li Yanqing knew that there must be a reason for it, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop Wang Gui, "Agui, don't do this!" ”

He pulled Wang Gui away, and then asked, "Shopkeeper Wei, what happened?" We can go, but you'll have to give me a reason. ”

Shopkeeper Wei was full of embarrassment, sighed and said: "In the Xue Hall, the largest elegant room in the Spring Building, a group of people are discussing how to clean you up, they don't know that you are not far away, once they find out, I'm afraid they will fight, and the Alum Tower can't afford to provoke them!" ”

Li Yanqing's mind turned, "Yes.... Are they in the high office? ”

Shopkeeper Wei nodded, "There are more than a dozen people, all of whom are children of powerful people, and the courtesan told me that it seems to be related to the Guan Pu shop bet." ”

Tang Huai shook his fan and said: "I know a little bit about this, the third uncle told me that the competition list opened by Guan Pu Dian did not expect that Yanqing would be killed, whether it was the first bet or the third bet, almost everyone lost, at this time, the taboo of Guan Pu Shop will have a bad impact on the reputation of Guan Pu Shop, I guess it is the backstage of Guan Pu Shop who wants to do something to Yanqing." ”

Shopkeeper Wei also hurriedly said: "This little official is right, the largest Guan Pu shop in Bianjing, Yutang Pavilion, is the property of the Xiang family, and the group of people just now is dominated by Xiang Qi. ”

"Yanqing, shall we go or not?" Yue Fei asked in a low voice.

Li Yanqing was a little worried about the rouge shop on Yujie, these yamen couldn't move themselves, and they were afraid that they would use the rouge shop to vent their anger, so he nodded and said, "Let's not make trouble for the alum building, let's leave." ”

Shopkeeper Wei was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I will take you to leave from the internal passage, and you can directly lead to the east corner gate of the alum tower, and there will be no guests over there." ”

Li Yanqing and the others cleaned up a little, then followed the shopkeeper Wei out of the door, turned right and walked more than a dozen steps, and walked to a small door, this is the internal passage of the alum building, when everyone was about to enter the small door, they suddenly heard a commotion not far away, faintly a woman screaming, everyone couldn't help but stop, it seemed that it was also on the second floor, it was from the side of the summer building.

At this time, a steward hurriedly ran over and said to the shopkeeper of Wei: "That group of Western Xia barbarians have started to make trouble. ”

Shopkeeper Wei stomped his feet with hatred, scolded in a low voice, and had to say to Li Yanqing and them: "There is no fork in this road, and you will reach the East Corner Gate until you go to the end, I won't send you away, please bear with me if I am rude today." ”

"It doesn't matter, who doesn't have a hard time? Shopkeeper Wei go get busy! ”

Li Yanqing opened the door, "Let's go!" ”

Everyone walked down the dark passage, and the shopkeeper Wei saw them disappear until he saw them, so he hurried away with the steward.

Stepping out of the stairs leads to the outer garden, a winding gravel path that leads to a small, hidden corner door in the distance.

Li Yanqing stopped and smiled at everyone: "You guys go out first!" I'm going back. ”

"Lao Li, what are you going back to do?" The crowd asked, puzzled.

"There's a friend, I'm going to say hello, I'll be right away."

"Lao Li, then I'll go with you!" Wang Gui said with concern.

"No, I'll be right back, you can wait for me outside."

Everyone agreed, walked out quickly, Wang Gui said to everyone: "I'll accompany Lao Li, you wait outside." ”

"Agui, I don't need you to accompany me."

Wang Gui pulled Li Yanqing to lower his voice and smiled: "I know what you want to do, don't want to leave me!" ”

Li Yanqing had no choice but to take Wang Gui back to the passage, they touched the dark stairs and ran upstairs, Wang Gui asked in a low voice: "Now tell me, what do you want to do?" ”

"Didn't you hear the man just now? A group of Western Xia barbarians are going to make trouble, I guess they are Western Xia warriors. ”

"How do you know it's them, what if it's someone else?"

"It's just an inference that those guys don't participate in tomorrow's tournament, even if it's over today, they will definitely come to Alum Tower to drink."

The two came out of the inner passage again, and when they saw that the quarrel was not over, he walked towards the place where he was in the commotion, and was confronted by a maiko who was crying and hurrying over, and there was a bruise in the corner of his eye.

Li Yanqing grabbed her wrist, "What's wrong?" ”

The prostitute was startled and struggled desperately: "You let go of me!" ”

Li Yanqing grabbed her by the waist, pushed her to the corner, stared at her eyes and said viciously: "You tell me what those Xixia people want to do, and I will let you go, otherwise you will be unlucky today!" ”

The prostitute couldn't break free, and she was scared in her heart, so she had to whisper: "They wanted to find a teacher to accompany the wine, and the shopkeeper asked us to accompany them, but they beat them out, and they said that if the teacher didn't come, they would demolish the restaurant." ”

"Is it a group of Western Xia warriors?"

The Maiko nodded, "A bunch of fierce guys, like devils. ”

She suddenly remembered that the man in front of her was also very vicious, she was suddenly so frightened that her face turned white, Li Yanqing let go of her, and saluted apologetically: "I was rude just now, eldest sister, don't blame, I just want to ask the Xixia people." ”

When the maiko saw that he had let himself go, she turned around and ran away in a panic.

Wang Gui stepped forward and said with a smile: "The first time I saw Lao Li hugging a woman, of course!" Magpies don't count, she's a little girl. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you can help me find some wine glasses or teacups."

Wang Gui reacted as soon as he thought about it, and immediately said, "I'll go and find it!" ”

He thought about it, turned the hood on his head and put it on, and put a white towel on his arm, making him look like a bartender.

He turned around and pushed the door into a private room, only to hear his laughing voice coming from the room, "Everyone continue to drink, the villain is the bartender of our store, and the store provides high-grade official kiln teacups, if you are interested, the villain will change it for everyone." ”

Li Yanqing smiled dumbly, and also had a high-grade official kiln teacup, but he could figure it out, and after a while, he saw Wang Gui come out, holding seven or eight small black porcelain tea bowls in his arms, and squeezed his eyebrows at Li Yanqing and said, "Let's go!" ”
