Chapter 8 The name of the building is Yuanju

Xu Ruyu and Xu Duanguo agreed to meet at the Yuanju Building in the east of the town at the beginning of the unitary time and returned to the Songling Inn.

Youli washed away the gray powder that concealed his true face on his face, revealing a peerless beauty of pure and gorgeous, scattering the beautiful green silk of the grass, and his temples were as black as lacquer, and his light was visible, draped on his shoulders. Xu Ruyu picked out a horn comb from the makeup, put it on her hand, and said softly: "This place of peace is my hometown." ”

Youli was on Xu Ruyu's shoulder, and the two met in the bronze mirror. Youli chanted softly: "Su Xi doesn't comb his hair, and his hair hangs down his shoulders." Wan Shenlang's lap, where is not pity? ”

Xu Ruyu sat quietly beside Youli, watching her comb her hair and curl up her snails, and time passed unconsciously. When Xu Ruyu and Youli came out of the door, they were already slanted to the west, and the afterglow of Liudan was reflected on the light veil on Youli's face, making her perfectly soft jaw and lip line looming, adding to the charming style.

After Jue'er came back, her mind was always on the jujube red horse. At this time, seeing that Yu Liyun's hair was adorned with ordinary Baodian hairpins, he said softly: "Why don't I play for a few days and return the dates to the horse farm?" ”

Yu Li Wan'er smiled and said: "If you say something stupid, I originally wanted to let you wear the fly wings, but now I use it to change horses, which is more in line with your heart, isn't it?" ”

The five of them slowly walked towards Yuanju Pavilion.

Xu Ruyu showed his amazing skills in the horse market at noon, and the news of meeting Yuanju Pavilion with Xu Duanguo, the Yongyang horse gang, had already spread all over Shangnan Town. In the afternoon, news came out from the Danjiang Guild Hall, saying that that person was very likely to have the strength of a first-grade master. The delicate balance of Shangnan Town is very likely to be broken because of the appearance of these two men and three women, how can all parties not pay attention? Now that the forces of all parties in the Yuanju Pavilion have gathered, they all want to see who the peerless master who suddenly appeared in Shangnan is sacred.

Xu Ruyu rushed to Yuanju Pavilion, and Xu Duanguo and Xu Boying were waiting downstairs with a middle-aged man.

Jue'er, uncle and grandson Fangwu walked the world with Youli Huafang, and they knew a wide range of people, unless they did not contact with the forces of all parties in Shangnan, it was difficult to hide their identities, and the surname Suo saw people with their true faces. Although it is close to Jinyang, Huo Qingtong may not be able to control it.

The middle-aged man standing between Xu Duanguo and Xu Boying saw Jue'er, Uncle Sun Fangwu, and Uncle Sun Clan hugging Xu Ruyu and Jiang Youli walking slowly, as if they had been struck by thunder, and they were stunned on the spot.

Jiang Youli's posture is about willow, curling up, revealing eyebrows and eyes as bright as the moon on the light veil, looking forward to the waves, looking at Xu Ruyu beside him affectionately.

The middle-aged man's face was cloudy, and he said: It is rumored that Jiang Youli has disappeared in Huailai, but I didn't expect her to appear here and marry the man beside her.

The middle-aged man hurried up to meet him and said to Xu Ruyu: "In Xu Tingyi in the south of Xiayu, I have seen two of them. ”

Xu Ruyu clasped his hands and said: "Xinghua Cai is more vulgar, and he has seen Xu Er's master with his inner son Jiang Youli. Xu Ruyu told him in small characters with his mother's surname, and he was not a lie.

Xu Tingyi was stunned: Sure enough, the Qin fairy Jiang Youli has married this person in front of him, but when has Qingzhou Xinghua Mansion ever produced such a young master?

Xu Tingyi and his uncle Fangwu and others met the courtesy, and quietly welcomed the five people into the building, at this time the building was already boiling, rushing over, wanting to see Jiang Youli's heavenly beauty, and wanting to see what kind of person Cai Gengshi was who had a beautiful return.

Xu Tingyi, the second leader of the horse gang in southern Henan, is about forty-five or sixteen years old, his sideburns have been dyed with a little frost, his finger joints are thick, his body is calm and even, between the feet, the rest and line continue to flow freely, the light in his eyes is like lightning, he is obviously a master of shrewdness and thoughtfulness, no wonder the horse gang let him preside over the overall situation in Shangnan Town.

Xu Duanguo and Xu Boying's surprise in their hearts has not stopped, Jiang Youli has recovered her appearance from an ordinary woman, like a dark cloud dispersing and the bright moon suddenly appears, although she is covered with a light veil, her cheeks and eyebrows are already infinite, Jinyang Huo Qingtong is worried about the identity of the prince of the county, and travels around the rivers and lakes with her, making her famous and unmatched by women in the world. No one would have expected that she would suddenly marry such an unknown man.

Xu Duanguo and Xu Boying looked at each other, remembering the situation when the two of them took four generals to rob Xu Ruyu and the five people, and laughed dumbly, knowing that if they were wrong at that time, they would have robbed them by mistake, and they didn't know what terrible rights and wrongs would be born.

Although they didn't know Xu Ruyu's identity and intentions, they also knew that he had a very small possibility of malicious intentions, so they calmly followed up in the elegant room.

After Xu Boying left the racecourse, he reported all the details of his three encounters with Xu Ruyu to Xu Tingyi, and even told all the things that he and Xu Duanguo had in love with Jue'er, he knew that he was deeply involved and might not be able to see through the overall situation.

Xu Ruyu is a master who suddenly appeared from Huailai territory, and the four people accompanying him are not weak. The five of them also clashed with the Danjiang Cao Gang, which belonged to the Huo family in Jinyang, and then made overtures to the Ma Gang, all of which made Xu Tingyi, who was proficient in the world, confused for a while, but he didn't think that Xu Ruyu could detect the abnormality in Funiu Mountain.

Xu Tingyi is a sleek and accessible person who is proficient in the world, although he has endless questions in his heart, his face shows that he doesn't care, and it doesn't take long for Xu Ruyu and others to get along, and he seems very familiar, which makes Xu Ruyu secretly exclaim.

Xu Tingyi said: "In July, there was a rumor from Donghai County that General Qingfeng regarded wealth and wealth as floating clouds, and hid with water like a shadow. At this time, Ting Yi saw that Cai Ye and Miss Jiang had formed a good relationship between Qin and Jin, and they had a good story with Xu Shui. ”

Youli pursed her lips lightly, glanced at Xu Ruyu with a smile, and immediately lowered her head. When Youli entered the elegant room, she took off her veil and revealed her true face, revealing her childlike attitude to Xu Ruyu at this time, which added to her beauty, making Xu Tingyi and others feel that she was well-known.

Xu Ruyu said secretly: It's okay if you don't say it, but it's a lot of trouble for me to say this. He smiled slightly and said, "There are many rumors that are untrue. Who saw General Qingfeng's incident, but it just so happened that he and the water girl left Yongyang at the same time. Although he knew that this might cause Xu Tingyi's vigilance, he really didn't want this matter to cause Youli's unhappiness.

Sure enough, as he expected, Xu Tingyi asked: "Listening to Cai Ye's tone, he seems to be very familiar with what has happened in Yongyang Mansion recently. For example, the most famous person today, General Qingfeng. Listening to his deeds, some people said that he had three heads and six arms, and Tingyi didn't dare to disbelieve it, but I heard that he had a pair of eyes and a pair of ears like me and other laypeople, and was similar in age to Cai Ye, and he didn't seem to know martial arts, which made Tingyi puzzled. But the fact that General Qingfeng assassinated Yi Zhouwu was there, and he couldn't help but believe it. When I saw Cai Ye today, I believed that everything was true, and he was really a hero from a young man, but Tingyi was shallow in his knowledge. ”

Xu Boying said: "It is rumored in the East China Sea that General Qingfeng is the only son of Xu Xing, the head of the 'Six Jun', Boying heard about Xu Xing's affairs since he was a child, and he was very envious in his heart, and after hearing General Qingfeng, he made a special trip to Yongyang Mansion, I don't want General Qingfeng to have left Donghai County, if Cai Ye knows about the Qingfeng general's military affairs, pick one and tell us, we will be very grateful." Xu Duanguo chimed in.

Xu Ruyu couldn't help but sigh at the vigilance of the Xu father and son, but he didn't know the intentions of the Xu father and son, so he didn't dare to admit his identity rashly, so he had to make a very impatient appearance, frowned slightly, and said in a slightly disgusted tone: "What I heard is also spread by the public [***], it may not be the case, it is better not to say it." Then he said solemnly: "Don't hide that Xu Er is in charge, we have a bit of a relationship with the Huo family, so we are in Jinyang and have been in the dark formation, drifting to Shangnan, and we are fortunate to know Xu Er here." ”

Huo Qingtong's pursuit of Jiang Youli has long been rumored in the world, and Xu Tingyi can't believe it under this excuse.

Xu Tingyi said: "A few days ago, there were some rumors from Huailai, and there was really such a thing. ”

Xu Tingyi and Xu Boying exchanged glances, and said with a smile: "Shangnan is located in the three counties, and all the forces in the land of Han and Chu are involved, that is, the Cai family in Youji, the Yuan family in Nanping have spokespersons in Shangnan, and the families in Jingjun also have a lot of power hidden here, which turn is the turn of the Huo family to cover the sky with one hand?" ”

Xu Ruyu said "oh" and said, "Dare to hear it." ”

Xu Boying said: "Cai Ye can know that the three horizontal and three vertical six long streets in Shangnan divide Shangnan into sixteen areas, these sixteen areas, except for the four central areas of each family to form a tacit understanding, the other twelve areas belong to twelve families, in addition to these twelve families, there are still some small, hidden forces. ”

Xu Ruyu expected that Shang Nan must be very complicated, but he didn't expect it to be so complicated. frowned slightly, secretly thinking: Zhang Dong's relics occupy the Qianshan and Susong towns of Nanyang Mansion, and the business road from Boling to Shangnan is blocked, and I can't imagine that the families still take a fancy to this place.

Xu Boying continued: "The southeast of Shangnan is Nanyang Guild Hall, Fujiabao, and Suqian Society, five years ago Zhang Dong was assassinated by Wu Chu in Jiangjin, Jiangjin City was obtained by the Yi family, and 40,000 elite soldiers of Zhang Dong's bereaved clan invaded and occupied Susong and Qianshan in Nanyang Mansion. The Suqian Society is the representative of the power of the Zhang Dong relics in Shangnan. ”

Xu Ruyu knew that it was Jiangjin and Qinghe who blocked the transportation of materials to the Zhang Dong remnants in Nanyang, so that the salt and iron needs of Nanyang Zhuyi depended on Shangnan, so he allowed all forces to enter Shangnan, making Shangnan one of the commodity distribution centers of the three counties. The Zhangdong relics relied on the supply of salt and iron here.

Xu Boying continued: "The southwest of Shangnan is the entrance of Danjiang Caobang Hall, Huojia Huailai Hall, Nanping Lianghu Hall, northwest is Xiangfan Hall, Xunjia Jining Hall, Qinchuan Shuyu Gang Hall, and northeast is our Mabang, Youji Foundation Gentang Hall, and Fenjun River Gang Hall. ”

Xu Ruyu asked: "Didn't the families of the eight counties in Jiangbei jointly execute the Xiangfan Society to execute the killing order, why did Shangnan still risk the taboo of the world and have the hall of the Xiangfan Society?" ”

Xu Boying said: "Ah, the entrance of the Xiangfan Society in the west no longer exists, and that territory has been infiltrated by the forces of the Nanping Lianghu Society. In addition, in the four areas in the center, I don't know how many forces are hidden in them. A restaurant tea shop may be the eyeliner of the Yue family in Nanning or the Chen family in the East China Sea, or it is not uncommon for foreign races to be seen here. ”

In the place where it is going to be rushed, it is strange if the powerful people from all sides do not come to cloth eyeliner, but I don't know who is responsible for the Chen clan in the East China Sea here. If the godfather is a trustworthy person, after the news here is transmitted back to the East China Sea, the godfather will definitely let him come and contact him.

Xu Ruyu thought to himself: Among the 70,000 or 80,000 residents of Shangnan, I don't know how many elite combat forces of all the forces in the world are hidden, and it is in such a mixed place that no one dares to act rashly and contain each other, forming such a delicate and fragile balance now.

Since separating from Shao Haitang and Xu Jingcheng in Yizhou, the fact that tens of thousands of congregations in Xiangfan would disperse from various counties and prepare to migrate to the south of Jingyue has always been a concern for Xu Ruyu. When Xiangfan would cause an incident in Xiangzhou, he punished all the children of the family and committed a taboo in the world, and the families of the eight counties in Jiangbei jointly implemented the killing order. Congregations scattered in Qingzhou and Yongning can move to Yue County through the East China Sea, but how can the congregations in Jinyang County get through the blockade of the family?

Xu Ruyu went to Jinyang to look for Youli and others, but he had never heard the news that Xiangfan would be active in the territory of Jinyang County, and he was very strange and puzzled. It was said that in Changshouyi Mountain Road, Jinyang County, I heard Xu Boying inadvertently mention Nanyang Mansion, and I had a thought: The Xiangfan congregation in Jinyang may be hidden in the Funiu Mountain area on the border between Henan Mansion and Nanyang Mansion.

Xu Ruyu learned that the Xiangfan Society had once set up a hall in Shangnan, and thought: The Xiangfan Society should still have forces hidden in Shangnan, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that there are elites from all factions in this Yuanju Building today." ”

Xu Tingyi laughed and said: "Cai Ye's hand exposed in the horse market at noon today, how can he allow people to peep, Shangnan is calm on the surface, but who doesn't sleep with a knife hilt?" ”

Xu Tingyi said it funny, and everyone laughed.

Xu Tingyi looked at his uncle and grandson Fang Wu and said with a smile: "Uncle and grandson have been famous all over the world for more than 30 years with a pair of wonderful hands, but they don't need to sleep with the handle of the knife like us." Then he turned to Xu Ruyu and said, "I don't know what kind of blade Cai Ye is good at?" ”

Directly asking about his habitual blades is really a taboo among martial arts practitioners in the world. Xu Ruyu knew that they already doubted their identity, so he didn't think it was wrong, and said: "My martial arts were taught by my uncle and grandson, so naturally I also made a pair of hands. ”

Seeing Xu Ruyu's calm face, Xu Tingyi didn't believe it, although his uncle and grandson Fangwu also had rare good hands, they couldn't cultivate such an outstanding apprentice. But seeing that his uncle and grandson Fang Wu also looked calm, Xu Tingyi wondered: Isn't he that person?

Everyone has their own thoughts, a table of wine is tasteless, casually talking about world affairs, often can't say three or four sentences, and will return to the East China Sea, Xu Ruyu at first dealt with a few words, and then asked for the surname not to answer. Xu Duanguo had a few words with Jue'er from time to time, but because of the presence of his second uncle Xu Tingyi, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

Suddenly, the boiling hall was quiet for a while, Xu Ruyu listened attentively, and everyone in the hall was calm and slight, as if something suddenly had happened, and looked at Xu Tingyi for consultation.

Xu Tingyi said with a smile: "At this time, Yuanjulou will ask the storyteller Liu Mazi to say it." As expected, it is still General Qingfeng who is talking about today. ”

Xu Boying said: "Mr. Tingshan is the number one person in Shangnan, he only says one thing every time, and collects one gold, and the hotel teahouse in Shangnan still rushes to invite him to appear. Recently, the world heard that Qingfeng was a military general, and he went to Donghai County to collect wind in person, and Bo Ying accompanied him. Donghai County up to the dignitaries and nobles, down to the people of Lishu, as soon as they heard that Mr. Tingshan was here to sort out the anecdotes of General Qingfeng, they were all overjoyed, and every time he didn't need to go out of the inn gate, some people came to the county to come and talk about General Qingfeng in their minds, and the wealthy families also rushed to invite Mr. Tingshan Xing to be a guest to pick the Mingyue Tower or the Pavilion of the Pavilion. I waited in Yongyang for half a month, and then went to Wanling for ten days, and I took three stacks of notes alone. Although he does not listen to biased beliefs and seeks verification and pragmatism, the details of General Qingfeng's management of the army are listed as top secrets in the East China Sea, so it is unknown. General Zhang Zhongdao made an exception for me to wait for the performance of the Qingfeng Elite Rider, which made Bo Ying breathtaking, thinking that it was not comparable compared to the Qingzhou ghost rider back then. Yizhou's assassination of Yi Zhouwu made the world even more crazy. Yi Zhouwu is a martial arts master comparable to a grandmaster, and Yizhou is an old camp of the Yi nationality, and was assassinated by General Qingfeng on the street. If it is said that General Qingfeng has reached the cultivation level of a grandmaster when he is weak, no one in the world dares to believe it, and it is exactly like this, what happened at night makes people want to find out. However, the people involved in the assassination were secretive, and Mr. Teiyama had no choice but to tell it in a legendary way. General Qingfeng and the famous artist Shui Ruying are also different opinions, and later Yongyang Commander Jiang Lingtian clarified, but no one in the world believes it, as for how Tingshan Xianshan will comment, I can't reveal it here, lest Mr. Tingshan come to me to settle accounts later, saying that I broke his rules. ”

Xu Duanguo said: "Mr. Tingshan's storytelling makes people feel like they are on the scene, and they can't stop. The biography of General Qingfeng is divided into 12 parts, namely: Qianli Message, Wanling Zhijun, Qichuan City, Xinfeng Military, Hidden Yongyang, Yizhou Thorn Yi, Grandmaster Invited, Yongyang Duwei, Liyang Anti-Kou, Jingyang Strange Scheme, Yongyang New Deal, Qingfeng Hide. ”

You Li glanced at Xu Ruyu lightly, and said softly: "The concubine travels the world, and I have heard Mr. Liu's name, but I can't hear his appearance and voice, but I don't know which one Mr. Liu is talking about tonight?" ”

Xu Duanguo said: "The Jingyang conspiracy said yesterday, today it should be the Yongyang New Deal, and the general Qingfeng broke the routine in Yongyang Mansion and implemented the "Displaced People Resettlement Order" and the "Post-war Wasteland Disposal Order", so that millions of displaced people were properly resettled, and the Yongyang people regarded it as the Buddha of ten thousand families, and the merit was compared to Xu Xing, the head of his father Liujun. ”

When Xu Ru heard this, his heart moved, and he secretly thought: Liuting Mountain travels the world and interacts with Confucian scholars and Junjie, and his father mentioned him many times before his death, saying that he has a good relationship with Liujun and all of them. Just because there are many broken pockmarks on his face and nose, people in the world call him with Liu Mazi. Xu Boying and Xu Duanguo are commensurate with honorifics, I am afraid that they are his nephews in his later life, and it seems that he is not looking for the wrong person.

Xu Ruyu said: "I heard that General Qingfeng has been in the military for a long time, but the rumors about the two strategies are rarely heard, Brother Boying is among the six juns of Han Chu, so he must have his own opinions on this?" ”

Xu Boying was about to speak, and a bright voice came from downstairs: "I heard that the Qin Fairy is a guest in the south, Liu Mazi, on behalf of all the people here who admire the Qin Fairy, dare to ask the Qin Fairy to perform a song, so that I can also have the opportunity to listen to the Qin Fairy's wonderful sound of the piano?" ”

Xu Ruyu looked at the expressions of everyone present, and knew that the person who spoke was Liu Tingshan.

Jiang Youli got up and left his seat, opened the door of the elegant room, smiled at the hall downstairs by the railing, and said, "Youli has seen Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu is talking about the Qingfeng general's military, how dare Youli hide it? ”

Liu Mazi didn't expect Jiang Youli to be so happy to agree, and looked up at Jiang Youli, who was as beautiful as a fairy, and leaned on a weak-crowned man, and saw that he was majestic and handsome.

If it weren't for the hundreds of people in Horse City who saw it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have been able to see where Xu Ruyu's mastery style was. Liuting Mountain has six out of fifty, floating in the world since childhood, knowing countless people, at first glance Xu Ruyu had such a feeling, and when he looked at it again, he felt that this person in front of him was extremely vivid, carefully comparing the image of General Qingfeng in his heart, a thought shook in his heart, and suddenly stayed there: more vulgar, Qingfeng General Xu Ruyu's small characters are not more vulgar?

Xu Ruyu saw that Liu Tingshan's yellow thin face was pockmarked and eye-catching, but his eyes were bright, and his blue shirt and gown were long and hanging down, standing on a temporary high platform, with five sparse long beards, hanging down his neck, giving birth to a somewhat elegant posture. Ever since Xu Ruyu showed his skills in the horse market, he knew that his identity could not be hidden for a long time. Although Xu Ruyu did not fully show his strength in the horse market, it was inevitable that people would compare him with General Qingfeng, and it was not difficult to see the similarity between him and General Qingfeng.

At the beginning of Zhuhang Town, Yi Guanyuan vaguely guessed his identity, but there was no final confirmation. Xu Tingyi and Xu Boying's many intentional or unintentional questions also showed their suspicions about Xu Ruyu's identity. Shangnan here, information is gathered, and the hidden dragon and tiger do not know how many, even if he has not known his identity now, he will be suspicious in the future.

However, Liu Tingshan doubted his identity at first sight, which still surprised Xu Ruyu.

Liu Tingshan now also knows why Jiang Youli is so down-to-earth and generous, it turns out that Xu Ruyu has become her husband. Liu Tingshan's heart fluctuated, and he secretly thought: When this news spreads, I am afraid that it will be more sensational than General Qingfeng's assassination of Yi Zhouwu and the defeat of the Puji bandits. The storyteller pays the most attention to collecting all kinds of rumors, and at this moment, all kinds of rumors pass through Liu Tingshan's mind, and as soon as he combs through his fantasy brain, he can come up with all kinds of situations between Xu Ruyu and Jiang Youli. At this time, it was not important for him to listen to Jiang Youli playing the piano, and he couldn't wait to ask Xu Ruyu and Jiang Youli for confirmation of his guess immediately.

Youli whispered to Jue'er to go to the inn to fetch the piano. Xu Duanguo would not miss this kind of opportunity, and without hesitation, he acted as a guard for his uncle and grandson Fangwu, and followed Jue'er behind. Xu Boying's face showed a slight bitterness.
