Chapter 513: Lack of money
Mei Niang, who was re-robed on the boat, sat in a serious posture in front of the table, writing and drawing on a piece of white paper, "Otherwise, the name Mei Niang is too imposing, and if you say it, the civil and military officials will definitely laugh off their big teeth." ”
"Change your name? That's simple, let's call it Wu Zetian! Han Han got up and rubbed her soft calves, Mei Niang's eyes turned with a kind of surprise, "This name is really domineering, what does it mean?" ”
"The monarch, take the law from the sky, and take the law from the sky." Han Han smiled, looked at Mei Niang, and said in a strange mood, "So, my woman can also be called Wu Zetian." ”
"Oh, good name! is worthy of being the first genius of my Tang Dynasty, this kind of cultural thing is really done with just opening your mouth! I love it so much! Mei Niang smiled and wrote the words 'Wu Zetian' on the white paper, then stood up with a look of surprise and threw herself towards Han Han, "You are leaving today, I can't bear you, so let's do it again!" "Your Majesty, please respect yourself!"
Han Han naturally left in the end, taking the whole family with him, and the formation was not small, and Li Kui's Liangshan Dart Bureau was personally changed to Han Han's personal guard by Wu Zetian, the female emperor of the Tang Dynasty, with a good salary and a monthly salary.
This is a very ideal thing for Li Kui, following Han Han to go south and north, and listening to Han Han's poems when he is bored is also a way of life that Li Kui envies.
There are not many people in the Liangshan Dart Bureau, there are only dozens, but all of them are experienced dart masters, their martial arts are not bad, and there are many people on the road and people they know, which is also a beneficial thing for Han Han.
Bidding farewell to the capital, holding the excited Tong Piaoyun, the group swayed towards Hebei.
Now that it has entered October, the autumn is crisp, and there is some winter cold, and at the same time, the heads of the eight major sects have met again, because, this year's martial arts conference was chosen in advance by Zhou Xingxing, the leader of the martial arts alliance.
Because in the past year, because of the things on the martial arts rivers and lakes, Zhou Xingxing, the leader of the martial arts alliance, has been running around, and there are fewer opportunities to talk to his wife, so his wife faces him coldly every day, Zhou Xingxing has stayed up for so many months, and finally can't stand it, and then convened a few heads to discuss whether the martial arts conference can be held in advance.
"Of course you can, if the martial arts alliance leader has this intention, we will all abide by it." The first one to speak was the extermination master sitting next to Zhou Zhiruo, the head of Emei, who had been the leader of the martial arts alliance for many years and had no chance with his own Emei, and his performance at the martial arts conference, his disciples had never performed well, if he could advance, it would naturally be the best.
Although the exterminator's own martial arts are wasted, he racked his brains to pass on all the martial arts of Emei to his disciples, coupled with the practice of forgetting to sleep and eating, day and night, the martial arts of the female disciples of Emei are simply advancing by leaps and bounds!
Then nodded their heads, it was the other Kongtong and Beggar Gang leaders, in the last martial arts conference, their performance was also very poor, wouldn't it be great to be able to take revenge like this one day and restore their glorious side!
"Since everyone agrees, then I will no longer be hypocritical, and I will ...... at the end of October this year. Well, it's not good, at the end of November, it's okay to come to my Imperial Sword Villa to hold a martial arts conference? Zhou Xingxing said the news with a smile, and he could already imagine that after he went home and told his wife the news, his wife had a comfortable expression.
"It would be a little inappropriate to hold a martial arts conference in the villa of the martial arts alliance leader, last year it was the martial arts alliance leader's reception, and it cost a lot of silver taels before and after, why don't you come to my Kongtong this time?"
"Hey, who will go to your mountain to play, won't you be tired to death just climbing the mountain! Why don't you come to my beggars......
"Your beggars' territory stinks every day, who will go? Come to my Kunlun. ”
"I don't agree to climb the mountain, otherwise, by that time, the people on your mountain will retain their physical strength, while those of us who go up the mountain will consume a lot of physical strength.
"Amitabha, why don't you come to Lao Qu's Shaolin Temple, worship the Buddha, burn incense, and accumulate some merit by the way, isn't it also good?"
"Hmph, old bald donkey, I won't be willing to eat cabbage and tofu every day!"
Looking at the noisy group of people, only Zhou Zhiruo and her extermination master kept silent, because, Emei's funds are tight, and fools will entertain hundreds of people from these eight major sects and famous heroes from all walks of life who came to watch the battle, and at that time, hundreds of taels of silver will flow away, but they will die of distress.
"Since several of them are dissatisfied with each other, why don't we draw lots." Zhou Xingxing's eyes flashed with wisdom, he didn't want to entertain everyone again, the money he spent last time hadn't been earned back.
"Good!" "Good way! I'll provide the paper! "Come, give you my wolf quill brush!" The group agreed, and the man wrote the name of his sect on a small piece of paper, then folded it and threw it in a spare tea bowl.
Turning the tea bowl upside down and pressing it on the table, Zhou Xingxing held it with one hand and shook it twice, and then slowly opened the tea bowl, the note inside had been out of order, just waiting to be caught.
Whose luck is it? Zhou Xingxing thinks that he is his own, and if he catches it himself, he will definitely not catch his own Imperial Sword Villa, right? Glancing at everyone, Zhou Xingxing just wanted to ask, but everyone had already shirked it, "Martial Arts Alliance Master, it's good for you to come!" "That's it, don't grind!"
"Good!" Zhou Xingxing grinned, then grabbed a note at random, opened it, and wrote two big characters nakedly, Emei!
Zhou Xingxing's heart was secretly refreshed, and the exterminator smiled reluctantly and took the task with a smile.
Leaving the Imperial Sword Villa, the exterminator walked out of the bamboo forest with his hands behind his back and an expressionless face, and Zhou Zhiruo looked at no one on the left and right, so he came up with a bitter face, "Master, do we have so much silver in Emei now?" ”
"Nope." The exterminator said with a blank face, looking ahead, walking slowly, Zhou Zhiruo could see that the master was very troubled now, but he still cautiously asked, "Then what should we do?" ”
The exterminator stopped at this time, glanced sideways at Zhou Zhiruo, and showed a trace of melancholy in his eyes, "Borrow." ”
"But who is it borrowing?" Zhou Zhiruo was very worried about this matter, and asked with a sad face, and the exterminator finally became a little impatient, gritted his teeth, and whispered with a gloomy face, "How do I know, master, I don't make friends on weekdays, and at this time, there is not even a person who can borrow money!" ”
That's the master, you're wrong, make friends with the world's heroes, so that you can make your road smoother. But Zhou Zhiruo, who didn't dare to criticize the master, could only break her thoughts in her heart, bit her lip, inexplicably, thinking of that Ling Hu Chong, looking at his appearance, he should be very rich, right?
The melancholy gaze caught a glimpse of the moment in his apprentice's eyes, and the exterminator opened his mouth too much, and his stereotyped face showed a trace of doubt, "Do you have the right candidate?" ”
"Yes, it's that Ling Hu Chong, he seems to be from a wealthy family, a few hundred taels of silver, he can probably get it." Zhou Zhiruo said cautiously, and the expression on the exterminator's face relaxed a lot, "Then write a letter and ask him, I will pay back the money I borrowed from Emei." ”
"But master, since I was warned not to be too close to Linghu Chong, we haven't been in touch for a long time." Zhou Zhiruo's pure and fair face was very embarrassed, and at the same time, as the head of the house, she once again blamed the master in her heart, if it weren't for your character who looked me to death, apprentice, I would have been able to find a friend to borrow from me for today's financial constraints.
Exterminator's face turned ugly again, and after talking for a long time, he is still a person who can borrow but can't borrow, how can he deal with it, "Zhiruo, do you have any other acquaintances?" ”
"The apprentice remembers the master's teachings, and never dares to have personal relationships when he goes out, so except for Ling Hu Chong, the apprentice doesn't know any friends outside." Zhou Zhiruo lowered her head and replied, so as not to let the exterminator see the dissatisfied expression on her face.
The exterminator bit his lip and sighed too sadly, didn't say anything more, and walked away quickly.
And Han Han, who was worried about the two women of Emei at this moment, was already holding Tong Piaoyun on a horse on the endless prairie to see the scenery, Tong Xiangyu followed and also rode a brown horse, Liu Yun, Yang Yuhuan, and the Queen Mother sat elegantly in the house drinking warm tea, and things like horseback riding were not something they could do.
And Cao Ying, although she is a woman, but she is a female man, riding a horse is a trivial matter for Cao Ying, but a woman who has given birth to a child no longer has such a wild mind, it is better to sit down and hold her daughter than to ride on a horse.
The atmosphere of the women in the room is a little quiet, but it is also a little weird, of course, because of the participation of Cao Ying and the Queen Mother Lu Pheasant, Liu Yun greets everyone with a smile, and Yang Yuhuan is not happy with the Queen Mother and Cao Ying.
"Wow! Brother Han Han, look at the sheep in front of you! Tong Piaoyun, who was sitting on horseback and lying safely in Han Han's arms, laughed happily, stretched out her little finger to point at the sheep grazing in the distance, and the smile in her eyes was not so happy, because she didn't know how many times she had seen it.
"Brother Han Han, continue to go north here, what kind of place is it! Let's go to the north side and play! Tong Piaoyun stared at the top of the mountain in the distance with a pair of beautiful big eyes, and there was an unpleasant name, Heimu Cliff.
"Oh? Do you want to go to the north side? I'll ask someone! Seeing the uncle herding the sheep, Han Han smiled and rode over, and when he got closer, Han Han reined in the horse, stopped in place and asked loudly, "This big brother, may I ask where is the front?" ”
The guy with the straw hat who was herding the sheep slowly raised his head, glanced at Han Han with sharp eyes, and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Han Han was stunned, he had never seen such a sheep herder, from the look in his eyes just now, Han Han saw something different.
Squinting his eyes and putting one hand on the hilt of the blood-drinking knife at his waist, Han Han said slowly, "I'm from the capital, and I took my sister to see the prairie and wanted to play in the north, so I asked for directions." ”
The sheep's gaze suddenly relaxed, and he nodded, but he didn't say much, just said, "Don't go." After saying that, he didn't pay attention to the two of them.
Han Han was a little embarrassed, why is this person like this, and he was about to find someone to ask, when Tong Xiangyu's voice sounded from behind, "What are you doing!" Do you smell sheep droppings? ”
Tong Piaoyun covered his mouth and smiled, while Han Han turned around and glanced at her, "Why are you so vulgar!" ”
Tong Xiangyu, who was wearing a bright red dress, squinted and smiled, his eyes fell on the body of the sheep, but he was stunned, sitting on the back of the horse, Tong Xiangyu tilted his neck, and asked tentatively, "This big brother, is he herding sheep?" ”
"Are you blind?" This sheep herder seemed to be so rude to everyone, Han Han was even more unhappy, glancing at him, Han Han opened his mouth and scolded 'grass mud horse', while Tong Xiangyu turned over and dismounted, stood in place, but slowly pulled out the fish intestine sword hidden in his sleeve.
Yes, it's no longer a full moon scimitar, but a fish intestine sword, Tong Xiangyu cheekily snatched the dagger that the Queen Mother gave to Han Han and occupied it, claiming that he had been occupying it before he received Han Han's gift.
Han Han just smiled speechlessly, but the Queen Mother was not happy, and she had a cold war with Tong Xiangyu for a day and a night that day, and in the end, it was Liu Yun who persuaded her left and right, and the two women eased the relationship with a straight face.
With the fish intestine sword in his hand, Tong Xiangyu smiled, but his eyes were extremely cold, "Herding sheep, the short sword hidden in your sleeve is revealed!" ”
The sheep were startled, jumped up from the ground without saying a word, the cold light flashed in his hand, and then cut Tong Xiangyu's face.
Han Han secretly sighed that he was too careless, this man's identity was obviously not simple, and he didn't even see the short sword hidden in his sleeve, he was too relaxed his vigilance.
Standing in front of the herding sheep, watching him attack Tong Xiangyu but not himself, Han Han was unhappy, this is obviously a contempt for himself, thinking that he is not as powerful as Tong Xiangyu and threatening?
Without saying a word, Tong Xiangyu kicked the calf of the sheep, and at the same time smashed his chest with a punch that left no room for him, "Smack!" With a sound, the sheep herder was beaten out five steps away by Han Han.
Tong Xiangyu had already taken a step back after encountering the attack, and at this moment he saw the man fall to the ground, and then he immediately chased after him, stepping on the chest of the sheep, Tong Xiangyu's eyes showed a trace of cold murderous intent, "Who are you?" What are you waiting for here? ”
The sheep's whole body was painful, and after being punched by Han Han, a mouthful of blood spit out from his chest dullly, and then he stared at Tong Xiangyu with a cold face, but he didn't reply.
Tong Xiangyu's eyes narrowed, at this time she was no longer so gentle and lovely, the fish intestine sword in her hand was raised, at this time, Han Han blindfolded Tong Piaoyun's eyes and blocked the little girl's body, too violent things, not suitable for children to watch.
