Chapter Forty-Eight: The Shadow Follows, Volt
"Jia Gongzi, is this true?"
Wei Yangsheng pretended to be calm.
"Well, really."
She Yi smiled slightly.
"You'll have to do me a favor first, though......"
She Yi continued.
"I ...... Well, I know that Jia Gongzi will not do loss-making business. Go ahead...... As long as it is not within the scope of a certain ability, I will try my best to help you! β
Wei Yangsheng sighed in disappointment.
"Brother Weiyang, I heard that there is an Oiran competition on the Shangyuan Festival (Lantern Festival)?"
She Yi thought for a moment.
"Needless to say, no one in Luoyang City knows...... Could it be that Jia Gongzi, are you interested in the Oiran Competition? Not a word of advice, the customers of the Oiran Contest are either famous and talented people from all over the world, or officials and wealthy businessmen, who spend a lot of money, not for us and other scholars to play. Of course, if Jia Gongzi can make a few shocking poems and become a blockbuster, he may have some chances......"
Weiyang's tone was mixed with a bit of disdain.
"You mean, most of the rich merchants in the city will go...... Well, what is shocking? β
She Yi turned his head and looked at Weiyangsheng with interest.
"This ...... For example, a while ago, it was rumored that She Yi, the son of the Red Lady, made "The Shore is Green". It can be said that it has swept the entire Luoyang City, and it has opened up a series of overlapping words, that is, the so-called shocking world, if he comes, don't say that there is a chance, even if the Oiran will definitely give him a hug...... Hehe, as for you Jia Gongzi...... Although he has some talent, he still persuades you, don't do anything. I can't wait for the students of the academy, and I haven't achieved fame yet, so how can I compare with those merry Confucian scholars who have achieved fame. Your music is extraordinary, but it's a pity that your musical skills are too poor...... Wei didn't dare to compliment ......"
Wei Yangsheng shook his head, meaningful......
"Haha...... Brother Weiyang's words make sense. However, Ruo Jia still has a second and third songs...... The result? β
After She Yi finished speaking, he turned his head, picked up the fishing rod, and looked at the lake calmly.
"Do you have any other tunes?"
Wei Yangsheng put away his disdainful expression, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.
"Brother Weiyang, if you believe it, you will have it, if you don't believe it, you will not believe it. You record the tune first, since Jia said that he would give it to you, he will not break his promise. β
She Yi said lightly.
Wei Yangsheng was silent for a moment.
"Jia Gongzi, you still say the request, if you can't help, this song will be wanted, if you can't help, you'd rather spend silver to buy it."
"Ambitious. It's easy for you, though...... Naturally, it helped. I heard that the Longmen Dart Bureau is your family's industry, and those dart masters must have some skills. You can ask them for a few books on practicing basic martial arts and give them to me. β
She Yi pondered for a moment and said slowly.
"Could it be that Gongzi Jia wants to practice martial arts? This is a pity, martial arts are just a matter of barbarians, and we and other academy scholars have a bright future, how can we lower ourselves and learn the tricks of barbarians? To tell you the truth, with Jia Gongzi's talent, fame will happen sooner or later. If you practice martial arts now, you will definitely abandon your studies...... At that time, the text will not be successful, and the martial arts will not be enough. Like the jade-faced little dragon in the Rongwang Mansion...... It's a pity. β
Wei Yangsheng bit his lip and persuaded again. The Song Dynasty valued literature over military force, and the status of literati was much higher than that of military attachΓ©s, and they were usually forced to join the army out of desperation. He admires She Yi's talent, and really doesn't want She Yi to go "astray"......
"Brother Weiyang is too worried...... If you want this tune, just find it. If you don't want it, don't do it! β
She Yi saw a flock of sparrows flying from the southwest, his pupils contracted slightly, a chill emanated from his body, and his tone suddenly became cold.
Wei Yangsheng felt that She Yi's tone was cold, hesitated, and didn't talk nonsense. The purpose of his coming was to get a tune, and to do so much about all the idle things.
"In that case, I won't say much. Lao asked Jia Gongzi to play again......"
"No need to play it again, I'll hum the tune one by one, and you can record it next to you."
She Yi looked at the lake, and in the lake, there were several small fish hovering around the hook. At this moment, a large red carp of more than a foot long swam out from the bottom of the lake, and as soon as the big carp reached the hook, the other small fish dispersed.
This big red carp shimmers with a little golden light, and it looks quite beautiful. It is far away around the bait, watching to see if it is dangerous? Do you want to swim over and swallow the bait?
Judging from the cautiousness of this carp, it can be seen that it has rich experience in biting the hook, and has escaped death several times, and has now practiced skillful biting skills.
Wei Yangsheng took the brush and sat on the stool, waiting for She Yi to hum the tune.
"Listen, it's time to begin. The first sentence, la... Ahh Ahh La, lala...... Laa...... La......, la...... Laa............ Ahh Laa...... Lala......"
She Yi was looking at the big goldfish in the lake while humming Liang Zhu's tune...... Weiyang waved the brush and quickly wrote down what he heard on the rice paper.
β¦β¦
The time of a stick of incense has passed, and Wei Yangsheng has completely recorded the song of "Liang Zhu" on rice paper, and let out a long breath.
"Okay, Brother Weiyang, please go back, continuing to be here will affect Jia's fishing for big fish. I remember these two days and brought what I said to Jiafu to look for me. β
She Yi didn't look back, just swung his hand back, signaling Wei Yangsheng to leave.
Wei Yangsheng stood up and looked at She Yi, with a complicated expression on his face. After thinking about it, he took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to She Yi.
Since Jia Gongzi believes in Wei so much, Wei naturally can't lose his faith. This jade pendant is temporarily used as collateral, and you will return it to me when you find those books for you. Can? β
The subordinate on Wei Yangsheng's side wanted to speak, but Wei Yangsheng glanced at him and motioned him not to speak. The words that came to the next person's lips were swallowed again.
"No need, go ahead!"
She Yi's eyes stared motionlessly at the big red carp in the lake, the big carp had finished inspecting, slowly approaching the bait, ready to eat.
She Yi put a little bit of strength into his wrist. Fishing for this cunning carp requires skill in reeling the rod. Closed quickly, without a complete bite of the hook. The harvest is slow, and the bait has been swallowed by it.
"Okay...... Then he took his leave...... Just those hunting gear of yours......"
Wei Yangsheng glanced at the grove to the southwest. The things She Yi was holding when he came, he said that there were not many things, but there were a lot of young masters, and it would be very laborious if he didn't bring them back in a carriage.
"Brother Weiyang is too worried, Jia Mou informed his subordinates when he came, and when he said, someone would come to look for me. Brother Weiyang, remember to bring some complete, try to have what you have at home, and what he doesn't have. β
She Yi turned his head and reminded Wei Yangsheng with a slight smile.
Wei Yangsheng nodded, hugged his fists and said goodbye, turned to leave......
β¦β¦
She Yi watched Weiyangsheng's carriage disappear at the end of his sight, and then turned his head and looked into the lake.
The hook was empty, the bait was gone, and the big goldfish was gone. She Yi put down the fishing rod, looked at the grove in the southwest direction suspiciously, and looked at it, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
β¦β¦
Inside the grove to the southwest, it's quiet.
In front of the old tree where She Yifang was wrapped, a masked man in a short tights hung upside down. The man's feet were covered and he hung upside down in mid-air more than two meters high.
He held a short knife in his right hand and a note in his left hand, which read: Sunflower Treasure Book @ One Touch.
He gritted his teeth and stared at the note, eager to tear it into pieces and pieces, and finally throw it into the fire and burn it clean.
Imminent...... It's not a fucking exaggeration at all, and sure enough, he touched it and triggered the mechanism.
He couldn't figure it out, how many stumbling blocks were there? Obviously one is lifted, how can you still hit the trap? Is there still a chain that can't be done? It's clearly a conspiracy......
He glanced at Kaiyuan Lake in the distance, and it was vaguely visible in the distance, She Yi was holding a fishing rod in one hand and sitting peacefully by the lake. There should be no movement here. He withdrew his gaze, looked at the package at the base of the tree below, and then at the rope that hung from him. The rope was a hemp rope, and it was very strong. It's not ten or twenty years, and it won't break off automatically.
A sigh.
Now the best way is to swing slowly, keep increasing the size, and finally turn over to reach the root of the foot, and cut the hemp rope with a knife.
So that it can fall off.
The masked man calmed the mood of the ebb and flow of the tide, and took advantage of the bending of his body to begin to sway gently......
After dozens of back and forth debugging, the amplitude increased significantly. The branches creak rhythmically. He took a deep breath, two rays of light shot out of his eyes, and stared at the hemp rope at his heels. Hold the knife tightly in your right hand......
"Hehe, I want to trap Lao Tzu, dream!"
Despite the swelling of his head, the masked man still had a smug smile on his lips, and his body had fallen from the highest point of one side and flung up to the other...... As soon as he threw it to the highest point on the other side, he turned over, bent over his abdomen, and with a click, the hemp rope was cut......
Just before the smile on his face dissipated, his body was thrown to the most point, and he accelerated upward......
"Bang!" With a bang, it seemed that a wooden stick smashed on his forehead, and countless golden stars appeared in his brain.
Buzzed, fainted......
β¦β¦
The masked man didn't know how long he had been dizzy, and after opening his eyes leisurely, he found that the night had not yet fallen, but it was said that it would not be long before it was dark. Feeling the burning pain in his hands and feet, he quickly turned his head and looked around. He found himself lying in a weedy pile by the lake, with his hands and feet tied.
Two meters away, a bonfire burned, and on the bonfire there was a wooden stick, on which was worn a fish, the fish was medium-rare, and a strong smell of meat wafted out.
He couldn't help but swallow, his stomach growling. Just about to turn over, in front of his head, there was a figure half-squatting, looking at him with a smile.
"Who are you!"
The masked man rolled over and sat up, staring intently. Finally, I saw the figure half-crouched in front clearly. This person is She Yi, the son of the Red Lady whom he has been following for several days.
"Brother Skinny Monkey, long time no see...... I miss it so much. I still remember that day when we returned to Menghu Villa from Luzipo, the light and shadow were dappled, listening to the wind and appreciating the flowers, and talking about life ideals...... How fast......"
She Yi shook her head lightly and stood up.
This masked man was hired by Wang Dashun to secretly drug Yue Shan'er and was discovered by She Yi as a member of the Five Tigers Gang Thin Monkey.
When it was said, She Yi killed everyone, left his surname alone, and asked him to take him to Tiger Villa, She Yi secretly did something and successfully provoked Xue Yingwang Dahu. After Xue Ying, Wang Dahu and the two died, the thin monkey was covered with sweat medicine and fell to the ground and died suddenly. His sudden death was only a fake death coma, not a real death.
It is said that cats have nine lives, and this thin monkey is a tiger, and there are many lives. He was wrapped in a patch of grass and buried in the earth. Theoretically, there is no possibility of re-living, because although the straw mat is spaced, there are no gaps in the soil. Even if the skinny monkey wakes up, it will die of lack of oxygen.
Coincidentally, not long after he buried it, a mouse searched for food, made a hole, and opened up from the ground to the space separated by his straw mat.
In this way, after a few days, the thin monkey woke up, slowly threw away the dirt with both hands, and crawled out of it...... Regain the heavens.
β¦β¦
The thin monkey snorted coldly.
"She Yi, don't fuck your mother-in-law, kill if you want to kill, kill if you want, whatever! How many times Lao Tzu Skinny Monkey has died, it doesn't matter if there is one more time! β
The thin monkey raised his head, impassioned, and righteous.
"Huh, huh?"
She Yi glanced at the thin monkey, reached out and felt Tuqiang from his waist, and blew down the muzzle.
"Huh...... Eldest brother...... It's okay for you to talk about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes! He killed me once last time, how can he still keep and on and over again......
The thin monkey's eyes turned, and the awe-inspiring color of righteousness just now suddenly disappeared, and he smiled.
"Huh? A gentleman has the beauty of sincerity and benevolence. Since you want me to kill you, if you don't kill you, won't you live up to your good intentions? Besides, you've been following me for a long time......"
She Yi looked at the thin monkey with a smile.
The thin monkey gasped and looked nervous.
"Don't ...... Eldest brother...... Chivalrous ...... Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, complete misunderstanding. The little brother is not tracking, it is secretly protecting...... I kid you not, it's true...... Think about it, if the little brother really had an unfavorable idea for you, he would have done it a long time ago, how could he wait until now? β
The thin monkey saw She Yi's hand sliding back and forth on the Tuqiang wrench, and he stuttered a little when he spoke...... She Yi's ferocity and decisiveness, he has seen it.
"Really?"
"It's true!"
The thin monkey said unusually firmly, seeing She Yi put the soil qiang in his hand back to his waist. He breathed a sigh of relief.
She Yi walked to the campfire, sat on a dry branch, glanced at the thin monkey, picked up a burning firewood, and threw it beside the thin monkey.
Said lightly.
"Burn it, and it's open."
With a happy expression on his face, the thin monkey moved his body, reached over and carefully placed it on the burning firewood.
With a "bang", the rope in his hand was burned, and he hurriedly burned the rope on his foot. After finishing it, Ma Li stood up, walked to the bonfire opposite She Yi, sat on the ground, and looked at She Yi with a smile, looking like a slap horse.
"Oh, this fish is cooked, you can eat it......"
She Yi still said lightly.
"Big brother, you eat...... Little brother is not hungry......"
Skinny Monkey dodged.
"This is a hundred taels of silver, take it and change your clothes."
She Yi took out a few pieces of money and put them on the ground, pressing them with a small pebble. Then he stood up and walked straight in the direction of the avenue.
"Big brother, please stay, what are you?"
The thin monkey also quickly stood up and called out to She Yi, with a puzzled expression on his face.
She Yi stopped and turned his head to look at the thin monkey.
"Give me all the details of Wang Dashun, and find some books on martial arts practice methods by the way. People in the government should not contact for the time being. If you have any grievances with the people on the road before, I will arrange for you to settle them after a while. β
After She Yi finished speaking, he turned around and walked straight away.
The thin monkey was stunned for a moment, and his face instantly overflowed with ecstatic excitement.
