Besides, after Yun Mengli said goodbye to Yin Yuan with full of confusion, he was in a hurry and wanted to rush back to Jiangling immediately. Unexpectedly, he was in a hurry, and he fell ill after only half the journey, and the illness was like a mountain, Yun Meng only felt lightheaded, weak, and nauseous and cold, no matter what, it was difficult to persevere, so he had no choice but to find a place to rest and recuperate.

The place where Yun Meng and the others came is called Peach Blossom Town, the town is quite big and seems to be very prosperous, the shops are full of sales, the traffic is busy, and the river is endless. Yun Meng asked Qing Yao to find an inn and stayed there for the time being. Yun Meng is proficient in medicine, and he also knows that his internal fire is rising, and he is suffering from wind and cold outside, as long as he takes some medicine to dispel cold and sweat, it will be fine to cultivate for a few more days. So Yun Mengqiang wrote a prescription, asked Qing Yao to go to the town pharmacy to get the medicine, and instructed the two soldiers who accompanied him to go back to Jiangling first and tell the teacher about the situation here, so as not to worry about it at home.

Qing Yao grabbed the medicine according to the prescription, and borrowed the medicine pot from the inn for Yun Meng, how to decoct the medicine and take the medicine, and he didn't go into details.

Let's say that Yun Meng took medicine on time every day, and after resting for three days, he felt a lot more relaxed, his head didn't hurt as much as he did at the beginning, and he seemed to have some appetite, and he wanted to go out for a walk and breathe.

So the master and servant simply cleaned up and left the inn. It was the end of autumn, and the south was not as windy as the north, the ground was yellow, but it was warm, and the grass and trees were only tender yellow, which was very beautiful. Walking around the town for a while, Yun Meng felt that his body was hot, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead, Qing Yao was afraid that Yun Meng would catch the wind again, so he hurriedly took out the cloak he was carrying and put it on Yun Meng, and said: "Childe, your illness is just better, you can't be too tired, why don't we find a place to rest?" ”

Yun Meng nodded in agreement and said, "It's okay, there seems to be a restaurant in front, you and I will go there to eat something, and rest by the way!" The master and servant walked into the restaurant, the restaurant was not big, and there were seven or eight tables, which were very deserted, and there were no other guests, a middle-aged man who looked like a boss was dozing off on a table.

Yun Meng walked to the store and coughed lightly, the shopkeeper was excited, sighed, rubbed his eyes, and then saw Yun Meng and Qing Yao, hurriedly stood up, greeted him politely and said, "Yo, two distinguished guests, please sit inside." ”

The two picked a table against the wall and sat down, and Qing Yao asked, "Shop, what do you have in this shop?" ”

The shopkeeper replied with a smile: "The small shop has been open in this town for many years, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas and delicacies can't be made. ”

Yun Meng said: "I don't have much appetite in recent days, so I just cook a few vegetarian dishes, and then scalding a pot of rice wine is enough." ”

The shopkeeper said "wait a minute" and returned to the back kitchen to prepare, and after a while, the shopkeeper came out with a tray, a total of three plates of vegetarian dishes, and a pot of rice wine. The shopkeeper filled Yun Meng and Qing Yao with a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "It doesn't look like the two accents are locals, right?" But it's from Jiangbei? ”

Yun Meng drank a glass of wine and felt more comfortable, so he replied: "The store has good ears, and your accent doesn't look like a Jiangnan person." ”

The shopkeeper sighed: "Don't hide from the guest officer, the little surname Wang, originally a person from Jizhou, in order to escape the war, he was taken in by a kind family, and he became a door-to-door son-in-law, and he settled down, and now he lives by opening a tavern in this peach blossom town." ”

Yun Meng also sighed lightly: "It seems that we are all people who have fallen to the end of the world!" At this time, Yun Meng suddenly remembered his childhood and relatives, and his mood was also a little low. Seeing this, the shopkeeper was also interested, so he said no more, said a few words, and left.

After a while, another three people hurriedly entered the shop, found a random place, ordered some wine and food, and chatted, Yun Meng didn't care at first, but later the content of the conversation between the three of them was to attract Yun Meng.

I heard a short and thin young man sitting on the left say: "Dongjia, I have inquired about it, out of Taohua Town to the south fifteen miles, there is a mountain range, called Taohualing, it is said that this ridge has not been peaceful in recent years, there are bandits, there are robbers, but we receive the goods this time, we must pass through Taohualing, can not get around." ”

The older one on the right said: "Hey, this year, nowhere is not very peaceful, the owner according to me, it is almost noon at this time, or let's find an inn to rest for the night, tomorrow morning before dawn we will go out, maybe we can mix in the Taohualing." ”

The thin old man who looked like a family in the Middle East put his wine glass on the table, sighed and said: "Hey, what kind of world is this, I have been exploited by the government on weekdays, and I have to pay taxes and taxes every day, and now I have to be knocked by this bandit, maybe I will lose my life." In my opinion, let's not take this risk, we all have families and mouths, old and young, and if there is an accident, my old man can't afford it anymore, you two don't say anything more, let's go home after dinner. ”

Qing Yao couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, and whispered to Yun Meng: "Childe, thanks to the fact that we are going west, if we also go south like these three people, we will not meet bandits." ”

The shopkeeper surnamed Wang was a warm-hearted person, and when he heard the conversation of the three people, he leaned over and said with a smile: "Three, don't blame the little talkers, I have also listened to what the three of them said." The little one told the three of you, you put a hundred hearts, and you can do whatever you want, even though you have been to the Peach Blossom Ridge. ”

When the three of them heard the shopkeeper say this, their faces were full of surprise, and the old man of the proprietor hurriedly beckoned the shopkeeper to sit down, poured a glass of wine himself, and asked, "Shopkeeper, what do you mean by what you just said?" Did the old man hear it wrong, or are there no thieves and robbers on this Peach Blossom Ridge at all? ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "It's not that you heard it wrong, it's not that there are no bandits on Peach Blossom Ridge, it's just that the bandits on Peach Blossom Ridge are different from the bandits in other places, and this gang of bandits can only be called righteous thieves." I heard that the surname of this group of people is Jiang Mingying, and it seems that there is a mixed name, called 'Xiao Fengxian', and he has the ability to do it. The reason why this living thief is a righteous thief is because they only rob officials, but they never harass the people, otherwise Taohua Town is so close to Taohualing, it would have suffered a long time ago, right? Therefore, let the three of you rest assured, although you cross the ridge, there is absolutely no danger. ”

The old man also smiled: "I see, it seems that I am too old and worried, thank you for the reminder." ”

The old man said to the left and right again: "Don't wait for tomorrow, after eating in a while, I will pack up and go directly." ”

So, the three of them had a hasty meal, settled the bill, and said goodbye to the store and hurried away.

Yun Meng listened to it for a long time, and also sighed: "In these years, it is rare to have a thief!" If I have time, I really want to meet this group of people in the rivers and lakes for a while, and also understand the demeanor of the 'righteous thief'. When the master and servant had eaten about the same, they settled the bill, wandered the streets for a while, and returned to the inn.

When the lamp was in hand, Yun Meng had just used some porridge and food, when he heard someone knock on the door, Yun Meng thought it was the inn shopkeeper, so he asked Qing Yao to open the door and ask what was the matter. Who knew that Qing Yao opened the door, but it was not the inn shopkeeper, but a white-faced man standing at the door with a smile on his face, and when he saw Qing Yao, he arched his hand and asked, "Is your master here?" ”

Yun Meng heard that he hurriedly got up and walked to the door, and also bowed his hand and said, "Childe, may I ask what you are looking for Yun Meng?" Forgive me for being clumsy, have you and I ever met? ”

The white-faced boy smiled and looked Yun Meng up and down, and then said: "It turns out that the famous Yun Meng is a good name, and when I see it today, he is really a talent." ”

Yun Meng thought to himself, "It turns out that you don't know me. Then he asked, "May I ask what Childe is looking for me?" ”

The white-faced boy smiled again: "Yun Gongzi, why don't you let me in, this is not hospitality." ”

Yun Meng hurriedly invited the scholar into the room, and under the light, Yun Meng could see more clearly, this white-faced young man was full of heroism, his eyes were like electricity, and he was wearing a dark blue sword-sleeved robe, a black cloak, a small crown and a bundle of hair, a sword hanging from his waist, and soft boots with soap on the bottom of the cloud, and his bearing was extraordinary.

The two sat down separately, and Yun Meng arched his hand and said, "May I also ask the son's surname?" ”

The young man also saluted: "It is indeed abrupt, but I came to visit the son to inform him in advance." Xiao Ke's surname is Jiang Mingying, the word is far away, and the people of the rivers and lakes give the nickname 'Xiao Fengxian'. ”

When Yun Meng heard Jiang Ying's registration, he was secretly surprised in his heart.

Jiang Ying continued: "Today, I heard that there was a dignified young talent in Peach Blossom Town. I also heard that Childe also wanted to befriend Jiang, so he came uninvited tonight. ”

Yun Meng secretly admired in his heart, and thought to himself, "Look at this young man's talent, his speech and demeanor are very decent, where he looks like a thief, but like a son." Then he said: "Yun Meng heard that the lord of Jiang Zhai is also chivalrous, and now he has to see his face, which is really a fortunate thing for Yun." In addition, Yun Meng has something that he doesn't know whether to ask or not? ”

Jiang Ying smiled: "Childe, please speak." ”

Yun Meng said: "Today's events, but they were all arranged by the king's shopkeeper? ”

Jiang Ying laughed and said: "The son is really smart, don't hide it from the son, the shopkeeper Wang is indeed my copycat person, and he is responsible for finding out some news on weekdays." But don't get me wrong, there's no malice in the next, just a desire to make friends. ”

Yun Meng also smiled: "Where is it, Yun is not a small person, but also likes to make friends, since the owner of the village is here today, you and I have to have a good conversation." ”

So the two chatted freely, from anecdotes in the mountains and fields, to national events, to Yuefu poetry collections, to the marching formation, as far as the ancient pre-Qin, as close as the Three Kingdoms Wei and Jin, and talked until almost the third watch, and still felt not happy.

Yun Meng said with emotion: "Why doesn't the master of Jiang Zhai serve the country with such eloquence, but he wants to occupy the mountains here? ”

Jiang Ying replied: "It's not a secret, Jiang's father was also an official of the imperial court, but he was persecuted by traitors, and the whole family of 18 was killed except for the next. Later, Jiang Moubai studied art under the master for eight years, two years ago through Taohualing, encountered a thief blocking the way, a few rounds, in the lower to destroy the thief head, the mountain minions all embraced me as the main, in the next consideration there is no other place to go for the time being, so he fell grass in Taohualing, but with his subordinates about three chapters of the law, only robbing corrupt officials, not disturbing the people. ”

Yun Meng sighed: "I didn't expect the master of Jiang Zhai to have such an encounter, in the autumn of troubled times, how many talents have been buried in the current imperial court." ”

Jiang Ying smiled again: "Although there is no way to serve the country, but now I am at ease." Jiang has been bothering for too long today, but he still feels that he is still not happy, and he will invite his son to the cottage to reunite tomorrow, how about it? ”

Yun Meng also smiled: "When we meet today, Yun also feels that it is too late to meet the owner of the village." According to the intention of the owner of the village, tomorrow Yun will visit the cottage. ”

Jiang Ying then got up and arched his hand and said: "Then it is a word, wait for the son, and then Jiang will introduce the son to the father-in-law and mother-in-law." ”
