The convoy rolled along the main road, rolling forward, and in the carriage at the head, the old man who drove was called Xiao Bo, although the nominal leader of this team was the young Taoist, but in fact, it was this Xiao Bo who took care of everything.

Behind Xiao Bo, Ning Jiang and the young Taoist priest, at this time, Ning Jiang also knew that the young Taoist priest's name was Li Hongyong, and his uncle was Li Tingjian, the head of Ziyang Wuzhen Sect.

Xiaomeng and Chun Jianli sat in the open carriage behind them, talking to the two people in front of them. Hearing that they were from Tongzhou, Li Hongyong was surprised: "How many people actually came to this kind of place from Tongzhou?" This kind of place is not as peaceful as yours. ”

Chunjian Lijiao said with a smile: "It's this Ning Gongzi who wants to abandon the literary Tao and go to Longhu Mountain to apprentice." He didn't dare to go on the road as a scholar, so he hired me and Xiaomeng's sister to be his bodyguards and escorted him to Longhu Mountain. ”

Xiaomeng said: "It should be an escort, right?" ”

Chun Jianli waved her hand: "It's almost." ”

Ning Xiaomeng and Chun Jianli, although they look delicate, they are both swords with swords at their waists, and Chun Jianli also brought a short bow with them, which does look like a Jianghu woman. As for Ning Jiang, no matter how you look at it, he is a weak scholar, and Li Hongyong also believed a little when he heard Chun Jianli say this.

Because they feel that they have no hope for the imperial examination, they abandon literature to enter the Tao or abandon literature to practice martial arts, this kind of thing is always there, especially those rich sons with good family backgrounds, who have no hope for less than 100 Jinshi every three years, and are not interested in being promoted in the examination and going to be a small county official of seven or eight grades, and it is also normal to transfer to the Daomen.

In this kind of Confucian world, where the imperial examination is above all else, the reason why Taoism can occupy a place is also because of these rich sons who have studied but cannot get into the Jinshi as new blood. Although in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Taoism was far less prosperous than Confucianism, but wearing Taoist robes, idle clouds and wild cranes, secluded in the mountains and wilderness, it felt like a quite stylish thing, although in fact, there were very few Taoists who really became "hermit masters".

Li Hongyong said: "If you want to go to Longhu Mountain, you have to go through Jianzhou, the recent riots in the states of the Southwest Road, even the Nanling side has been somewhat affected, many bandits wander here, and the road from Chenzhou to Jianzhou is not very peaceful." Why don't the three of you go on the road with us, and after you arrive in Jianzhou, you can go to Longhu Mountain? I, Ziyang Wuzhen Sect, have some origins in this area, and a few cottages along the way will more or less give some face. Moreover, although Longhu Mountain is an authentic sect, my Wuzhen Sect also has a history of hundreds of years, since Brother Ning is interested in cultivating the Tao, you can go to Longhu Mountain to see first, in case Longhu Mountain does not accept it, I Wuzhen Sect is also a choice. ”

Ning Xiaomeng and Chun Jianli looked at Ning Jiang together, and Ning Jiang turned his head and said, "If that's the case, then it's troublesome Brother Li." ”

Although the Daomen do not want to get married, because when they were young, a lot of energy was spent on studying the Daozang or laying the foundation, and they generally got married late, and they did not pay attention to the right people like Confucianism. Li Hongyong is also twenty years old, and it is almost time to marry a wife, seeing that Xiaomeng and Jianli are both coquettish, they are already excited, and they know that they are just the "bodyguards" of the young man around him, so he naturally wishes to have more contact on the road, and when he saw that the young man agreed, he was secretly happy.

Seeing that the gate of the county seat was getting closer and closer, Xiao Bo turned his head and glanced at Chun Jianli's waist. Li Hongyong came to his senses and turned his head to look at Chun Jian Lili: "Miss Xiaochun, it is illegal to enter the city with a bow, and your bow must be hidden......

Chun Jianli smiled: "Li Gongzi, don't worry, they won't care about me." ”

Li Hongyong said: "This ......" Although the Yueling side is far less strict than the Central Plains in these aspects, many hunters often bring bows and arrows into the city, but after all, it is a matter that can be managed, if the soldiers of the defenders have to ask, either confiscate, or go to some silver taels for no reason, although it is not a big deal, but it is always not good.

Speaking of work, the carriage had already arrived at the city gate, and at this time the sun was in full bloom, and the two soldiers guarding the gate were leaning lazily on both sides. The carriage stopped, Li Hongyong lit up the document of the merchant, and one of the soldiers glanced at it casually, waved his hand, and was about to let them go to the capital, when his eyes glanced at it, and suddenly said: "Wait a minute...... You, that's you, what are you? Do you know that it is illegal to bring a bow into the city? You're ......."

Chun Jianli looked back and smiled lightly: "Brother Bing, you see, this bow is just a decoration for collection, and it can't hurt people at all, can you let me bring it in?" ”

The soldier looked at her charming face, his heart fluttered, and the whole person was stupid: "That...... Good...... Good ......"

Chun Jianli was originally a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, and she was proficient in charming, so a small soldier defending the city was naturally easy to take. When the carriage entered the city, the soldier was already behind them, looking at them in a desperate state.

On the carriage, Li Hongyong sighed, what is meant by "looking back and smiling", he has finally seen it now.

The convoy entered an inn that had already been chartered, and the others, under the command of Xiao Bo, helped the boxes in the cart to the backyard and led the horses into the stables. Although Li Hongyong shirked, Chun Jianli still paid the money belonging to the three of them in accordance with the rules, and she told Li Hongyong that anyway, they also used the money of the "Ning Gongzi", so there was no need to use it in vain. Li Hongyong was originally embarrassed to accept money from the two girls' families, but since it was the young man who was "escorted" by them who paid the money, he was naturally not polite.

was about to enter the hall of the inn, when suddenly, a coquettish smile came from behind: "Isn't this the Hongyong brothers?" ”

A few people turned around and saw two people stepping into the courtyard, one was a young woman in her twenties wearing a yellow dress, and the other was a rather delicate teenager. Seeing them, Li Hongyong smiled and said, "It turned out to be Sister Hu and Brother Shuang, how could the two of them be here?" ”

The woman he called "Sister Hu", with a nine-section whip tied around her waist and a hundred butterflies sprinkled on her yellow clothes, stepped in front of Li Hongyong and said with a smile: "My sister and brother happened to pass by here, and they were originally going to live here. I originally wanted to find another place, but I found it troublesome, but I just saw you here, so I just came to ask, can we let us live here first, and wait for tonight to earn some extra money, and Ming'er will give you some money. ”

Li Hongyong smiled and said, "With Sister Hu here, why do you say such a foreign thing?" In this small county, there were no people living in the inn, and the reason why we chartered it was purely because the whole package was more expensive than per capita. If you want to stay, then you will stay, how dare you count Sister Hu's money? ”

Sister Hu quipped: "I'm just afraid that you will treat us as robbers." ”

Li Hongyong said with a smile: "Even if you want to rob the goods, you are here, this trip to protect the Danshi of the Cui family, it has already been shipped out, the box is only filled with Hezhou's native products, anyway, on the way back, the car is empty, bring some things from other places back to buy." If you come earlier, you can rob the Cui family's medicinal pills. ”

"Do you want to kill your belly?" Sister Hu trembled with laughter, "Who doesn't know that those so-called elixirs that enter the Cui family, those rich and noble families who are sold to the upper and lower reaches of the Long River, sell them to death and die expensive, as if they can really prolong life, in fact, the cost is pitiful, and if you prolong your life, it will be at most to the point of not eating the dead, I will rob it, I can't sell it, I can't eat it, I don't bother to eat it, those who are addicted to wealth in the Cui family will be a lot of refining after a few days." ”

Li Hongyong said: "Sister Hu, what you said is not right, those panaceas that enter the medicine mirror, although they can't prolong the years and benefit the longevity, but at least the bite is crunchy, in order to be able to bite it up crunchy, they have worked hard." ”

Sister Hu looked at Chun Jianli and Ning Xiaomeng, and her eyes lit up: "These two girls are ......."

Li Hongyong said: "These two are Xiaochun girls and Xiaomeng girls from Yuehu in Tongzhou. ”

Sister Hu smiled: "Little Spring Girl, Little Dream Girl, the two add up to Spring ......"

Li Hongyong coughed dryly: "Eldest sister, don't joke around." He also introduced to Chun Jianli and Ning Xiaomeng: "These two are Sister Hu Man and Brother Hu Shuang, known as 'Greasy Water Double Flower' by people in the rivers and lakes, and they are also famous chivalrous girls in our area. ”

Hu Man laughed wildly: "The word chivalrous woman, I can't take it at all." He looked at Chun Jianli and Ning Xiaomeng again, and saw that they were both swords with swords at their waists, coquettish and charming, although they didn't know what their strength was, but at least they were good-looking.

Like this kind of girl who dares to run to a place outside the Central Plains to "break through the rivers and lakes", if she doesn't really have the ability, then she must be a fledgling and a chick who doesn't know the height of the sky, and one day disappears out of thin air for no reason, and when she is found again, she is already a cripple, and it is not strange which kiln she is sold into.

I looked behind them again, and saw a young man standing there with a folding fan, who seemed to be a "scholar", although he was handsome, but this kind of scholar was completely different from them, and he was afraid that he would be disliked by the other party when he came forward to say hello, so he didn't take him to heart.

The name of "Greasy Water Shuanghua", Chun Jianli has never heard of it before, of course, this is not so strange, the rivers and lakes are too big, she used to be north of the Huanghe River most of the time, just as she did not report her real name, but although the name "Chun Jianli" is famous in the capital, I am afraid that no one knows it in the Yueling area. She was just curious, why did the two sisters and brothers be "double flowers"?

Several people walked to the inn together, on the way, Hu Man's eyes turned, walked beside the two girls, and said in a low voice: "Sister Hu has some ways here, are you two willing to go with me tonight to make some money?" Rest assured, we're only entertaining. ”

She was originally on Ning Xiaomeng's side, but Ning Xiaomeng didn't understand what she was talking about, and turned her head to look at her: "Huh? ”

Hu Man actually didn't expect them to go with her, just because on the rivers and lakes, but all the girls with a serious sword in their waist or a sword on their backs are often from famous and decent families, just to see that they are really beautiful, and they didn't report themselves just now, maybe they are also wild roads, so they asked casually.

Now seeing that Ning Xiaomeng didn't even know what she was talking about, she immediately knew that she was just a young person who had just entered the rivers and lakes and had no experience in the rivers and lakes.

So he smiled: "Nothing! He took his brother and went to the other side of the staircase.

Ning Xiaomeng looked back at Chun Jianli: "What is she talking about?" ”

Chun Jianli snorted softly and said, "Don't worry about her!" ”

Several people stayed in the inn together, and at dusk, the sky was getting dark, and the heat accumulated during the day slowly rose, and the room felt more and more stuffy. Xiao Bo took the others to drink and guess boxing in the backyard, and from time to time there was a shouting sound. Li Hongyong put a small wine at the door of the hall and invited Ning Xiucai to chat with Xiaochun and Xiaomeng. Anyway, there was nothing to do, Ning Jiang also came down to sit down, and asked Chun Jianli to take this opportunity to ask Li Hongyong about the situation in the rivers and lakes in this area.

A few people chatted, Ning Xiaomeng looked into the hall, and saw two women coming down the wooden ladder.

She tilted her head in confusion, wondering who these two people were? After a while, I recognized that the woman walking in front turned out to be Hu Man, but even if the original Hu Man couldn't match the two of them, her appearance was also Peugeot, but at the moment she was wearing heavy makeup, but she covered up a lot of posture, but it was another girl who followed behind her, graceful and delicate, shy with her hands, giving people a bright feeling.

Ning Xiao dreamed, when did this person live in the inn?

At this time, Ning Jiang also turned around, and looked at Hu Man and the beautiful girl behind her with Li Hongyong and Chun Jianli.

Li Hongyong smiled and said, "The two of you went out so early?" ”

Hu Manjiao smiled: "We wild people, we also have to eat, don't we?" With the shy girl behind him, he left gracefully and went out of the yard.

Watching the two of them disappear outside the courtyard gate, Chun Jianli held chopsticks in her hand, opened her mouth wide, suddenly slapped the chopsticks on the table, covered her stomach with her left hand, bent over and laughed: "This is okay?" Is that okay? ”

Even Ning Jiang couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't people say it, they only sell their arts, not their bodies, they are familiar with the road, and no one will find out if they want to come." ”

Ning Xiaomeng looked at her brother who shook her head and smiled, and then at Jian Li, who was trembling with laughter and stomach pain, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" Who is the girl who followed Sister Hu, and when did she move in? And what about Sister Hu's younger brother Shuang Gongzi? ”

Looking at his sister's puzzled look, Ning Jiang smiled and said, "The girl who followed behind Sister Hu just now is her younger brother Hu Shuang. ”

Xiaomeng turned his head: "What?" ”

Chun Jianli held her stomach and continued to laugh: "I see, it's okay to do this...... No wonder it's called greasy water...... Double Flower! ”

Li Hongyong quipped: "Didn't I already say that they are the famous 'chivalrous girls' in our Yueling area?" ”
