The crowd slowly followed the street and walked towards the alum tower. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThis alum building is easy to find, standing in a spacious place on the street, you can always see the flying roof.

When Yang Zhi was still working as an envoy, he naturally went to Alum Tower, but now it is different from the past, following everyone and moving forward slowly, Yang Zhi is always so sad in his heart.

"Envoy Yang, I heard that you passed by that Liangshan before your head?" Zheng Zhi suddenly turned around and asked.

Yang Zhi came back to his senses when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "When you don't know the title of General Zheng, the Sprinkle family is no longer a master, and when I went back to Tokyo with money before, I passed by Liangshan." ”

"Oh? How is Yangsan? Zheng Zhi asked again, and said that the eight hundred miles of water and Liangshan were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Zheng Zhi naturally wanted to know what these eight hundred miles of water and Liangshan were like. Zheng Zhi really didn't believe in this 800 li in his heart, it was the Dongting Lake that the ancients called Yunmengze, the water surface was only dozens of miles wide, and the circumference was only two or three hundred miles in circumference.

Yang Zhi passed by Liangshan, originally to meet Lin Chong, Lin Chong had just gone up the mountain at that time, and was about to accept the name, so he robbed this Yang Zhi, and the two fought and turned enemies into friends.

"Back to the general's words, Shuibo Liangshan is a good place, there is also a group of strongmen there, the big leader is called Wang Lun, and the officers and soldiers have no way to take this Wang Lun, but let them live happily on the mountain." Yang Zhi thought that Zheng Zhi was asking about this mountain bandit, so he naturally told the story.

Where does Zheng Zhi care about this Wang Lun, but the clown who jumped off the beam can't survive Chao Gai and the others to go up the mountain, and then asked: "How big is the water pool?" ”

"I didn't pay much attention to how big the water is, there is always a water surface ten miles wide, but the leader of this Liang Mountain once robbed the Sprinkle family, and a man named Song Wan was chopped away by the Sprinkler family with a few knives, which is not a big deal." Yang Zhi explained to Zheng Zhi again, naturally thinking that Zheng Zhi was asking about this strongman, and he also made it clear.

If Lin Chong went to rob Yang Zhi, the two would naturally fight one after another, but it was King Kong Song Wan in this cloud who went to rob him, then he would be asking for his own hardship.

"I see, these eight hundred miles are just a lie." Zheng Zhi nodded, if there is really an eight-hundred-mile water pool, it will really be the same as the sea. However, these ten miles of water surface are also a moat for this era.

"General, what eight hundred miles?" Yang Zhi asked suspiciously.

"Nothing." Zheng Zhi replied and asked again: "How about the strongman armor and weapons on the mountain?" ”

"How can a strong man have any armor, there may be a few iron armors, but the rest of the armor has not been seen, the blades are complicated, and there are eighteen kinds of weapons." Yang Zhi replied.

For the people of the Great Song Dynasty, iron armor is easier to get than leather armor, iron armor is rich, although iron is also controlled, but the demand of the people is also high, and it can generally be obtained with money.

Cattle hide is difficult, cattle are the main guarantee of agricultural production, the imperial court is clearly forbidden to kill cattle, even if the cow dies of old age, or accidental death, the government must send someone to check. Naturally, cowhide was regulated. Leather armor is not so easy to get your hands on.

"Do you have a crossbow?" Zheng Zhi asked again, mainly to understand the level of strongman equipment in Hebei and Shandong. It's always going to be faced later.

"Where can a strongman have a crossbow, hunting bows are common." Yang Zhi replied again.

The production process of standard crossbows is complex and time-consuming, and most of them can only be produced skillfully by government craftsmen. Folk hunting bows can naturally kill people, but their power is not half a star.

When Zheng Zhi heard this, he no longer cared about this matter, bandits and bandits were just reckless people after all.

Look up again, the alum floor is already in front of it, the hot gold plaque, the middle door is wide open, there are famous painting columns on both sides, and the relief on the beam is also vivid.

Everyone giggled in, and when they entered the door, there was a high hall, and there was also a small stage in the middle of the hall. There are also many performances on weekdays.

It's just that this sleeve and Oiran characters like Master Li obviously won't come to perform in this front hall.

Outstanding appearance, poetry and books, good at singing and dancing, this kind of character is one in a hundred, and it is naturally to be sought after by literati and ink writers, and take the lofty route.

And some just have the same few things, such as just being beautiful, or just being good at singing and dancing, so they are pushed to the front of the stage. But no matter what, these Qinglou women are not something that ordinary people can consume after all.

The little two in the running hall came to greet him with a hot face, and several people went up to the private room on the second floor to sit down.

This private room is different from the last time Chen Da came, relying on the window inside, and when the window is opened, you can see the scene in the hall and the performance on the stage.

It was just in the evening, and not long after Zheng Zhi and the others sat down, the guests at the door were bustling.

Even the stage is preparing for the show.

As soon as the wine and food were served, Zheng Zhi moved his chopsticks first, and everyone began to push and exchange cups with each other.

At this time, a group of sons came in outside the door, Confucian dressed, literati demeanor extraordinary, the head of the person is even more personable, the folding fan is half-open in the hand, shake a few times from time to time, and are embraced by everyone in front of the head, there is a laugh into the hall of this alum building.

The literati are naturally different, walking with the wind, and the momentum is also extraordinary, that is, as soon as the sound of laughter comes out, everyone unconsciously becomes less noisy.

"Brother Zhou, it's so boring today, everyone won't be a guest on one sleeve, and the teacher and girl are also resting. Where is there a place to put the poet of the little brother. A scholar said with a smile, although the words were big, not really conceited, but also joking.

"Haha... Boji, this year you should be proud, the so-called title of the gold list, the spring breeze is proud, and it is said that this year's Li Boji. This week, my brother heard the jokes of the scholar in front of him, but he also laughed and boasted.

Zheng Zhi heard the sound of laughter under the window, looked down, and seemed to see an acquaintance.

"Brother Zhou's praise is false, the younger brother is just a fluke, if Brother Zhou also takes the exam this year, where is there anything to do with us, if it is not for Lord Lingzun to participate in the question this year, Brother Zhou will not take the test in order to avoid suspicion, otherwise the people who will go to the palace this year will have Brother Zhou. The younger brother just got a jinshi, which is nothing. This Li Boji arched his hand, his words were not flattering, but sincere.

"There are many people who are extraordinary in my Song Dynasty, Boji, you can be on the list this year, and you have already beaten most literati in the world, which is enough to praise. My father is cautious and rigorous, so naturally I can't tarnish my father's reputation, and I will take the exam again in a few years. "This Brother Zhou is an acquaintance of Zheng Zhi, so he is naturally the son of Zhou Bangyan, Zhou Ke and Zhou Duwen.

Although Zhou Duwen's words were relaxed, there was still a little regret in his expression. Listening to his words praising Li Boji, I also knew the envy in Zhou Duwen's heart.

The conversation between the two did not shy away from everyone, and Zheng Zhi also heard it clearly in the private room upstairs, and his views on the literati of this era have also changed a little. Because his father Zhou Bangyan took the exam this year, this son Zhou Duwen avoided the test, and he still has some backbone. Zheng Zhi couldn't help but think a little more about this week's article.

"Brother Zhou's bones, little brother admires, there is nowhere to place poets today, how about a few drinks in this hall? The younger brother is the east, and he relieves some unhappiness for Brother Zhou. Li Boji naturally heard the regret in Zhou Duwen's heart.

Several people have already walked to the front of the hall, Xiao Er who greeted him before has been following, Zhou Gongzi and the new science and technology Jinshi Li Boji talked, Xiao Er naturally did not dare to speak and interject, until Li Boji opened his mouth to say that he was drinking in the hall, Xiao Er stepped forward and bowed down to invite a few people to sit in front of the head.

"Brother, did that person have the surname Zhou before?" Shi Jin also recognized the man and asked.

Zheng Zhi nodded and replied, "It's Zhou Duwen." ”

"Brother, since you are an acquaintance, would you like to invite me to have a few drinks?" Shi Jin said again, this is the case with the Northwest man, and he thinks very simply, and when he meets an acquaintance during a drink, he naturally has to invite a few glasses, and most of the habits of the rivers and lakes are like this.

Zheng Zhi originally had this idea, but he was a little hesitant, literati are no better than ordinary people, although he opened his mouth to invite, he was also bothered to come up to make it convenient for him, this Zhou Du people are also the leading figures among the young generation in Tokyo, and the polite way is to go down and toast by himself.

But Zheng Zhi didn't want to go down and mess around in a group of literati, not to mention that now Zheng Zhi would be a party in a short time, and he didn't need to give up his face. A new Kejinshi or something naturally doesn't need to be taken into account.

Zheng Zhi was hesitating in his heart, listening to Shi Jin's reminder, he also felt that he was hesitating a little redundantly, it is always good to have an acquaintance in Tokyo, not to mention that this acquaintance is still a good person.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhitou leaned towards the window and shouted to the hall below, "Brother Zhou." ”

Zhou Duwen, who had just sat down, heard someone calling himself, looked back, and saw a person looking at him with a smiling face, feeling a little familiar, but he was not sure that it was this person calling him.

"Brother Zhou, long time no see!" Zheng Zhi said again.

At this time, Zhou Duwen stood up, looked at Zheng Zhi carefully, and suddenly laughed: "Brother Guanxi, it's really Brother Guanxi, I haven't seen it for a long time." ”

While talking, Zhou Duwen also bowed his hand. This title is also a little weird, it is called a person, it is naturally a close person, but there is a brother after this word, and it seems that there is still a little bit of life. Such a strange title also just confirms Zhou Duwen's mentality at this time.

Zheng Zhi also arched his hand and replied, "Come up and drink a few cups together?" ”

Zhou Duwen also smiled: "Very good, very good, Brother Guanxi will be later." and up from below. ”

Zhou Duwen hurriedly turned his head to pull Li Boji, and pulled up Li Boji, who hadn't figured out what was going on, and went to the stairs to find it.

Li Boji didn't understand a little, it stands to reason that in addition to the elders, Zhou Duwen needs to go to others like this, even if he eats and drinks, he is also respected by others. At this time, seeing Zhou Duwen pulling himself upstairs with great interest, he asked, "Brother Zhou, who is upstairs?" ”

"One night of fish and dragon dance!" Zhou Duwen didn't explain much, just said this sentence, and walked upstairs quickly.

Li Boji was also taken aback, and said, "Qingyu case? Zheng Tu Zheng Guanxi? ”

Zhou Duwen nodded and said: "Exactly, after a while that night, Zheng Guanxi never appeared again, but I didn't expect to meet again in this alum tower two years later." ”

Li Boji was also interested in his heart, this Zheng Guanxi is really a legend in Tokyo in the past two years, and the song "Qingyu Case" has already been sung all over the streets and alleys. is the song "Touching the Fish", which is also a top-notch work, a literati talent, and all of them are praised. It's just that the person who wrote the lyrics is already a legend. fame and fortune are naturally more admirable.

Li Boji gently shook off Zhou Duwen's hand and said, "Brother Zhou, I'm going by myself, just about to see Zheng Guanxi of "Qingyu Case". ”

The two of them went up the stairs and went straight to Zheng Zhiya's room.

Zheng Zhi also got up and opened the small door of the private room, waited at the door, and motioned for everyone to let go of the two upper seats.
