Chapter 53: The Seven Tigers of Yanjing
Since ancient times, there have been many beautiful women in the land of Cai Wei.
Cai Xuan, the first beauty in Cai Country, has been famous all over the world for many years.
Cai Xuan is good at the piano, it is rumored that when Confucius traveled around the world, he traveled to Caidi, because he missed the time to enter the city, he stayed outside the city overnight, just when he slept in a fog, suddenly heard a melodious sound of the piano in his dream, the sound of the piano seemed to fall from the moon palace in the sky, just like a leaf tossed and turned with the wind, hooked people's hearts like silk, thoughts were like threads, so Confucius woke up, crawled out of the tent, and followed the sound of the piano all the way, not even wearing shoes.
Confucius's disciple You Lu followed him, and the two came to a high-walled compound, from which the sound of the piano came, and through the sparse moonlight and the quiet bamboo forest, Confucius and You Lu listened obsessively and forgot to return, and before they knew it, it was already dawn.
The sound of the piano stopped, and the person who played the piano seemed to know that someone was listening to the piano outside the courtyard, so he stepped on the high wall, held the piano and saluted the two of them. From Lu Zandao, Meiye, Si Meiye, can compete with the bright moon. Confucius also said, beauty, beauty, can make people forget God. You Lu said that it was the beauty of people, and what the master said was the beauty of the qin, whether it was the beauty of the people or the beauty of the qin, since then, the good name of Cai Guo and Cai Xuan has spread all over the world. And that year, she was only twelve years old.
"Qin Yu Lou" is not the largest wine shop in Yanjing, but it is the most well-known wine shop in Yanjing, not because of anything else, but because Cai Xuan is here. Three years ago, Cai Xuan suddenly arrived in Yanjing and shook the entire Yanjing City with the song "Wind Yin Warmth". Since then, perhaps because she fell in love with the pear blossoms in Yanjing City, she stayed in Yanjing. And this, apparently, is what the Yan people like to see, every full moon night, I don't know how many people come to watch the dew for the last night, just to listen to her piano sound.
The full moon is full of fireflies, and the lights are on.
The Qinyu Building was full, and even the carriages were parked on the street outside, and there were people in the cars, of course, because they didn't book a place, but they wanted to listen to Cai Xuanzhiqin. Among them, many people are scholars in the palace, so at this glance, maybe they are just listening to the piano outside the wall of Confucius back then. Some people even laid out a straw mat directly on the road, put the chessboard on the table, and leisurely dropped the chess pieces by the moonlight in the sky and the lights in the building.
At this moment, a horse-drawn carriage came up the crowded street, and the driver of the car avoided the crowd and stopped directly at the door of the liquor store. A man stepped out of the car, looked up at the sign of the liquor store, smiled, and stepped inside.
He thought he was low-key, but he didn't want someone to recognize him, so he heard the chess player whisper: "Bahou Ziyan Zhiyun really comes every full moon night, could it be that he really thinks that Cai Xuan is already in his pocket?" ”
The person sitting opposite him smiled: "If Cai Xuan wants to be rich, who in the world can't marry?" You see, that one, with a noble status, is more than that! ”
Someone came again, this one did not take the carriage, he was dressed in white, all the way to the moonlight on foot, with a sword hanging from his waist, his pace was steady, and he had a temperament that was not good for anyone else, and when he got closer, he was a young and handsome nobleman. This man was the same as the man just now, he looked up at the sign of the wine shop, smiled indifferently, and pressed his sword inside.
"Qi Ge, the prince of Qi State, has no eyes left, his eyes are above the top, he even came to join in the fun, and he usually doesn't see him coming."
"Cai Xuanmei, it really deserves its reputation, guess again, who will be the next one?" The chess player rolled up his sleeve and glanced at the other side of the street.
The person sitting opposite turned his head and replied, "Who should I be, it was originally a Nanchu barbarian, how can he know how to appreciate Cai Xuan's beauty?" "I look stupid.
The chess player said with a smile: "The southern part of the great river is tens of thousands of miles, and Southern Chu occupies half of it. ”
The person on the other side said disdainfully: "If it weren't for Yongqi Yan Song hurting himself, how could he allow Nan Barbarian to be reckless!" Barbarian is barbarian, does not cultivate ancient rites, arrogant and arrogant, he will be driven into the river by Yonggong one day. As he spoke, he spoke, and his voice grew louder and louder.
"Humph!"
A cold snort came from afar, the face of the person who spoke changed, and even his neck stiffened, and the person sitting opposite him smiled indifferently, and fell with a 'snap'. On the opposite side of them, a group of people came, led by a young man, who walked very fast, did not look left and right, only looked ahead, and when he came behind the two chess players, he stared at them coldly, but did not say a word, and strode into the wine shop, while his guards remained outside.
There are so many people tonight that the guards are not allowed to enter.
Tonight's moonlight is exceptionally bright, and it is destined to be a sleepless night. In a short time, another group of people walked in the street, and this group of people walked in wolves, laughing and laughing, and one of them was wearing a suit of armor.
The person who had just ridiculed the Nanchu people frowned, and was about to laugh a few words, but he didn't want the person opposite to shake his head again and again, he stared at it, recognized the person, and quickly closed his mouth, he couldn't afford to provoke this group of people, all of them were Yanjing Yiba, also known as the Yanjing Seven Tigers.
Among them, there are the three sons of General Yan, Yan Wuji, Yan Toe, Yan Wu, the youngest son of Qing Xiangguan Ion, Guan Luofeng, and the two sons of Baili Doctor, Baili Bing and Baili Yuan. And the one who walked in the middle, the untimely person wearing armor, was of course the most proud disciple of General Yan who had just returned triumphantly, the second baron of Yan Guo, the second eldest of the Seven Tigers of Yanjing, Yu Lie.
The Seven Tigers of Yanjing came to the door of the wine shop and rushed in.
At this time, it is the first night of the clouds breaking through the moon and the flowers and shadows, the incense and indigo in the Qinyu Building, the pretty and graceful maids walk back and forth, and the footsteps fall finely, whether it is a private room or a chess room and a wine house, it is a quiet place, like a fairyland on earth.
As soon as the Yanjing Seven Tigers came, they immediately broke the cold silence, a group of people talked and laughed and ran upstairs, the waiters in the wine shop changed their expressions, lowered their heads, and the maids smiled quietly and did not dare to stop.
"Yu Lie!"
At this moment, someone on the second floor pushed open the window of the private room and shouted to the group of people who were climbing the stairs.
The Seven Tigers of Yanjing paused on the stairs and looked at the man.
Yan Toe raised his eyebrows, raised his fist, and said coldly: "It's that Nanchu kid again, isn't it enough to be beaten?" The moonlight is just right tonight, so it's a good time to get started. ”
The boss of Yanjing Seven Tigers, Yan Wuxian frowned and said: "Fourth brother, don't be reckless, Chu Wu is also a registered disciple of his father, and the second brother should ignore him." "When a group of them call each other, they use the ranking of the Yanjing Seven Tigers.
The eldest of the Seven Tigers in Yanjing, the most old-fashioned Bailiyuan said: "The eldest brother is right, the second brother returned triumphantly today, why bother to spoil the excitement, let's drink and listen to the piano, ignore him." ”
Who knows, his brother Baili Bing smiled and said: "You kid has one thing in his mouth and one thing in his heart, who carried the sack to cage him in the first place?" That black punch, you didn't fight less. ”
"Haha." A dry group of people laughed.
"Yu Lie, come up!" The man upstairs shouted again.
The faces of the Seven Tigers of Yanjing changed, and their faces were angry, and the attendants and maids in the Qinyu Building looked shocked.
Isn't it, tonight is going to stage a Yanjing Seven Tigers Havoc in the Qinyulou? There was the clever maid who took a gap and quietly walked briskly into the wine shop, obviously to move the rescuers.
"Drink first, and I'll come when I go."
Clinker, but the young man named Yu Lie smiled indifferently, separated everyone, and walked upstairs with his feet. went upstairs and walked along a row of bamboo fences to the innermost point, Yu Lie stopped, pushed open the door, and walked in.
"You still dare to come?"
There was only one person in the private room, one case, one seat, and no maid to serve, who was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a nose like a hanging gall and a hooked eye, a slightly yellow complexion, thick and long eyebrows, and a dishonest sitting posture, leaning against the wall with his shoulders crooked, playing with a thing in his hand, and his eyes were close to Yu Lie, as if he wanted to swallow him.
Yu Lie was wearing armor, and as soon as he sat down, he said with a bang, and said with a smile: "Why don't I dare to come?" ”
The man stared at Yu Lie, took a deep breath, lifted the thing up, but lightly slapped it on the case, and said coldly: "This is not the place you should be!" ”
"This is a place to drink, a place to listen to the piano, what should I not come?" Yu Lie glanced at the things on the case.
This is a rabbit made of white flower stone, the handiwork is exquisite, vivid, is a child's plaything, the stone rabbit is full of soft light, just like jade. Jade is jade, stone is stone, and stone does not shine, unless the person who plays with it can't put it down, it will be wrapped in a layer of jade pulp.
Yu Lie stared at the rabbit.
The man's face turned red, his palm stroked, and he casually covered the stone rabbit, retracted into his sleeve, turned his head to look at the moon outside the window, and said, "After you leave, Firefly will go to the yard where you lived every day. If I were you, I would never leave her even half a step. Never. His voice was soft, but unusually affirmative.
Yu Lie's face turned cold and he stood up.
The man turned his head, the corners of his mouth curled, and he sneered, "What? You want to fight me again, and I tell you, you may not be able to beat me now. As he spoke, he pressed the sword on the case and looked at Yu Lie defiantly.
The scar on Yu Lie's face jumped, grabbed it with a big stride, lifted him up, raised his fist against his nose, rubbed it hard, and rubbed it hard, rubbing the man into a cold sweat, but he said coldly: "Chu Wu, I won't beat you today, but if you dare to covet Firefly again, don't blame me for my hot hands!" With that, he slammed the man to the ground, turned and left.
"Yu Lie, you idiot, you're a barbarian!"
Behind him came the man's hoarse scolding because of the muffled voice, but Yu Lie smiled indifferently and walked past a group of well-dressed soldiers in armor.
The crowd avoided him.
When passing by a private room, a man dressed in white sat inside, who raised the three-legged bronze wine cup in his hand and invited him.
Yu Lie stepped inside and said with a smile: "You are here too." ”
The man in white buckled the case, motioned for him to sit down, lifted the wine jug on the case, poured one for him, and said lightly: "Taste the wine of Qi Kingdom, it can be regarded as a celebration for you." ”
Yu Lie drank the wine in one gulp and said with a smile: "Compared with the spring wine of Qi Kingdom, which is not strong, I still prefer Yan Guo's spatula, and I take a sip in the winter and burn it from head to toe." ”
The man in white took a sip of wine, slowly leaned his back against the wall, his demeanor was elegant, his demeanor was noble, and his eyes were like snow: "Is the source of the glacier so cold?" ”
"It's white, the glaciers are in the sky, it's cold you can't imagine. It's a pity that you are different from me, you can't go out with Master Yan, otherwise you would have frozen into a lump of ice there, and it looks like it's just right. Yu Lie smiled and glanced at the gorgeous ornaments on the clothes of the man in white, looking playful.
The man in white smiled generously: "Drink your wine, listen to the piano, and go back early." ”
"Gone."
Yu Lie shook his armor and got up lazily, and there was another rattling sound.
