Luda said: "Mother-in-law, what kind of dishes do you have in this tavern, pick up a few of them." ”
The mother-in-law, Bada Bada, said: "Guest officer, it's really unfortunate, before you came, I also asked someone to kill a pig and four chickens, but they were all sold by the village Ma Meng, and now there is only half a white chicken left." ”
Luda said: "Okay, then bring half a white chicken up!" Another jug of wine. ”
Soon the mother-in-law took half a chicken and a pot of wine and put it in front of Luda and said apologetically: "Guest officer, I saw that you got up from a long way, and I should have sold you some good wine and good food to eat, but it was really unfortunate." ”
Luda said: "It's okay, mother-in-law, I can eat as much as I want." As he spoke, he tore off a chicken thigh and nibbled it in two bites, and after drinking a big sip of wine, he asked the mother-in-law: "What do you want to do outside of Master Meng, you need a big pig." ”
The mother-in-law said, "It is said that he himself is going to celebrate his sixtieth birthday." ”
Just as Ruda was talking to the mother-in-law, three people came in through the door, the one in the lead was a strong man of about twenty-four or five years old, with a naked face, the second one was about the same as the one in front, but in terms of age he was two or three years younger than the previous one, and the one at the back was a handsome boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.
As soon as the three men crossed the threshold of the tavern, the red-faced man, at the head, shouted, "If there is anything good to eat and drink, just bring it up, I'm starving to death." ”
The mother-in-law hurriedly walked over and said: "This guest officer is really sorry, there is no tavern now, otherwise you can take a few steps further and go to the front of Meng Dayuan's house to have a look, Meng Dayuan is kind and benevolent, and he will not turn you away." ”
The red-faced man said: "The old immortal thing surnamed Meng, the master is too lazy to take care of him." The reason why we want to have a meal at your old man's house is to rest here first. Then when it gets dark, I will go to the old bastard surnamed Meng to settle the score. Since you don't have anything to eat, mother-in-law, then please give our brother a few pots of tea to drink, and the money will not be less for you. ”
The mother-in-law said: "Look at what you said about going there, don't you just want to drink tea, what money is not money." ”
Luda thought to himself, what kind of person is this Meng Daren, he actually recruited three people who are not friends on the day of his 60th birthday, so he should not hurry up and see the excitement.
In fact, this village built next to the mountains is called Mengjiazhuang. Meng Dayuan is the owner of Mengjiazhuang, but Meng Dayuan is not only the identity of the owner. He also has an identity that is not known to everyone, that is, Meng Dayuan's grandfather is Yang Liulang, the generalissimo of Sanguan who fought the Liao army back then, and Meng Liang, a general who has an order. Meng Da's name is Meng Qi.
Meng Qi's body has Yang Liulang's military book "Liulang Taoluo", which was written by Yang Liulang in his later years based on his years of actual combat experience. Therefore, this book of war has become a treasure coveted by those who occupy the mountain and the village. This is where these big men came to snatch the book.
Mengjiazhuang is a fortress-like village built on the mountain, Meng Qi has been living here in seclusion for many years, and outsiders rarely know that this Meng Da Yuan, who lives in seclusion, is a famous general, and has a lot of treasures.
Meng Qi is 60 years old today. He is wealthy, but his family is not prosperous, and he only has one son under his knees, named Meng Kang. He is only nineteen years old this year, born in the wind of Yushu, intelligent, and has a family history. Not only boxing and sword kung fu, but also laid a foundation since childhood, and now there are five or six percent of the fire. is a subset of economic history, and it has also worked hard for ten years.
Meng Qi often admonished his son Meng Kang to read and reason, not to be a step to hunt for fame, to practice martial arts and self-defense, and not to be a strong and ruthless horseman.
Originally, Meng Qi lived in seclusion here, not wanting to make a big fuss about his 60th birthday, and attract the attention of the public, but his five sworn brothers and sisters all rushed to Mengjiazhuang on this day to hold a birthday banquet for him. So Meng Qi sent Zhuang Ke this morning to sell all the things in the tavern.
Luda wanted to wait until the evening to see the excitement at the Meng's house, and the big man was going to Meng's house to make a fuss, so these four people were delaying the time.
Ruda's method of delaying time was to nibble on the half of the chicken in small sips and taste the pot of wine in small sips.
The big man drank tea while throwing dice and gambling money.
The sky finally got dark, and then I heard the sound of beeping firecrackers from the south side of the tavern, and then beautiful fireworks shimmered in dazzling brilliance in the sky. The red-faced man took out a piece of silver and threw it on the table and said, "Mother-in-law, this is the tea money for you, let's go." Before the mother-in-law could reply, the three of them walked out of the shop and ran in the direction of the firecrackers, and Ruda took out a small piece of silver and threw it on the table, following them.
Meng Qi's manor is a large circular courtyard built by the mountain, the wall more than one zhang high goes along the mountain, scattered, in the four corners of the wall are built with a watchtower, each has a night vigil on the watchtower on duty.
At this time, the Meng family's compound can be said to be brilliantly lit, not only are there four red lanterns hanging at the gate, but even a pair of red lanterns have been provoked on the sentry tower. The entire Meng family compound was decorated with joy.
Luda followed the three men to the door of the Meng family's compound, there was a suspension bridge across a seven or eight feet wide moat river, and at this time, it happened to be on the river like a sleeping dragon, and across the river, there were four Zhuang Ke standing on each side of the four open doors with knives and guns.
I saw that the bare-faced man waved his hand and stepped onto the suspension bridge, and the two people behind him followed him and walked towards the courtyard gate, one of the eight villagers guarding the door, saw someone coming over and asked, "Friends, what are you doing?" ”、
The red-faced man pointed to a box wrapped in red silk in his hand and said, "Come to celebrate your birthday!" ”
The dealer hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Please go!" ”
Ruda followed the three of them.
After entering the courtyard gate, I walked through the courtyard more than two zhang long and saw a brightly lit hall, in which there were eight tables of eight immortals, and almost all of them were full of people at this time. Ruda looked around and no one was paying attention to him, and he flashed towards a small flower pond.
The three men went straight to the hall, and Meng Qi, the birthday boy who was sitting on the birthday seat in the middle of the hall, saw that a guest came to congratulate him, so he hurriedly stood up from his seat and hugged his fists and said: "I don't know the three friends who are there, it can really be said that coming here can really make me shine here." ”
The red-faced man nodded and said, "Our brother's surname is Zhu, and he came to celebrate Uncle Meng's birthday on the order of his father." ”
As soon as he heard that someone said that it was surnamed Zhu, for some reason, Meng Qi's face turned slightly cold, but he immediately returned to normal, and said with a haha: "Oh, it turned out that the three nephews of my brother's family are here, please sit, please sit, please sit quickly." ”
The three of them were no longer polite, and sat down.
The banquet began in a staggered manner, and everyone competed to say that the blessing is like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and the longevity is better than the birthday of the old pine of Nanshan.
The wine was drunk for more than two hours before it ended, and the guests left one after another with red faces, only the four sworn brothers and sisters from Meng Qi and the three Zhu brothers stayed.
The servants removed the leftovers from the table, replaced them with two pots of hot tea, and eight people sat there at two tables and slowly tasted the tea, one tea had just been eaten.
The red-faced man stood up and arched his hand to Meng Qiyi and said, "I said Uncle Meng, this wine has also been drunk, and your sixtieth birthday is over, so let's talk about our own affairs." ”
Meng Qidao: "Zhulong nephew, if you have something to say, just say it." ”
Zhu Long said: "Okay then! Please ask Uncle Meng to look at my father's friendship with you back then, and invite the "Liulang Taoluo" out to open the eyes of the three of our brothers. ”
The three guests who came were all congratulations and three brothers.
They came from Zhujiazhuang, Dulonggang, Jining Prefecture, Shandong, and came to pay tribute to Meng Qi's birthday on the order of their father, and by the way, they brought back the "Liulang Taoluo" to have a look.
The names of the three Zhu brothers are called in turn: Dragon, Tiger, and Biao. These three brothers don't look at their young age, but they are very good at martial arts, and their skills are extraordinary.
Zhu Chaofeng, the father of the three Zhu brothers, is a rich man, and he can stomp his feet in the Jining area to shake the mountain. However, although Zhu Chaofeng's grandfather and the general in the army, Meng Liangwei, are both literate and martial, they get along very well.
Just when Yang Liulang was persecuted by the then abbot Pan Renmei and was admitted to the military power, Zhu Chaofeng's grandfather carried Yang Liulang's "Liulang Taoluo" handed over to him for safekeeping on the road to escape, and later died on the way to the road.
So Zhu Dake, the son of Zhu Wei's secretary, shouldered his father's last wish, while hiding in Tibet on the rivers and lakes, escaping the pursuit of those who coveted "Liulang Taoluo", and at the same time trying to send "Liulang Taoluo" to Bianliang Tianbo Mansion in Tokyo to the descendants of the Yang family.
But just when Zhu Dake escaped three pursuits, he met Meng Liang's son, Meng Qi's father, Meng Tong, because Zhu Dake and Meng Tong knew each other, and their fathers were both confidants of Generalissimo Yang Liulang, so Zhu Dake, who was in danger, handed over the "Liulang Taoluo" to Meng Tong, and entrusted Meng Tong to bring "Liulang Taoluo" to Tianbo Mansion.
That Meng Tong actually took advantage of Zhu Dake's serious injury and fell unconscious, threw Zhu Dake into a ravine, and fled with the "Liulang Taoluo".
