Chapter 22: The Legend of the West Chamber

When I returned to the vicinity of Anlan Garden, it was just after noon. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Guo Xiang saw that it was still early before the time of the game, so he took Guo Poyu and others to go to the market together. The four of them walked all the way to the Guandi Temple, and the fragrance of snacks came to their nostrils. In front of the temple, there are stalls full of various snacks, such as red bean sugar porridge, tofu flower, mung bean glutinous cake, wine-stuffed cakes, loose stewed eight-treasure rice, etc. Wang Jianmin and Tong Dahai went to another street to buy loose stewed eight-treasure rice. Guo Xiang bought a few strings of fried potato balls, sat on a bench and drank a bowl of tofu with Guo Poyu, and made lunch.

During the meal, the two listened to a few old people sitting next to each other say that when the three-day market was held from today, and the artists in the four prefectures and counties were going to perform their skills, Guo Poyu sighed and said: "I originally wanted to go to Wudang Mountain in the west after the competition to see the scenery of Thirty-six Rocks and Seventy-two Peaks. Now that Sister Guo Fu knows our whereabouts, I am afraid that even the good places in Laohekou City will not be able to have fun, so she notified Rong'er and drove us back to Xiangyang. ”

Guo Xiang snorted and said, "Don't be afraid, she herself doesn't dare to see Rong'er now, causing such a big disaster." Guo Poyu asked repeatedly, and Guo Xiang said in his ear: "Yesterday afternoon, when Sister Qingfu and I went to look for you outside the city, we happened to see the second sister-in-law talking to a beggar gang of five bags of disciples at the city gate. I saw that the beggar disciple looked anxious, and thought to myself that Uncle Lu had always been good friends with me, and if his disciples and grandchildren encountered any difficulties, I would secretly help him, so I asked Sister Qingfu to eavesdrop. Unexpectedly, I heard a big thing. When he said this, Guo Xiang stopped the spoon in his hand and said, "Poyu, go and ask me for a bowl of tofu again." ”

Guo Poyu said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't it more convenient to take tofu flowers from your side." Guo Xiangyan smiled and said, "Do you still want to hear about the following things?" Guo Poyu was impatient, bypassed the bench and brought back two bowls of tofu flowers, poured the chili peppers and handed them to Guo Xiang. said: "What is down there, but what a big deal." Guo Xiang beckoned him to come over with his ear, lowered his voice to a thin mosquito chirping, and said, "Do you know the waterway map of the Han River?" Sister Guo Fu sent officers and soldiers to send this year's waterway map of the Han River to Xiangyang, but was robbed by Mongolian masters on the way. ”

Guo Poyu was shocked when he heard this, and he knew when he was in Xiangyang that the waterway map of the Han River mentioned by the Song army was not a geographical map depicting the waterway of the Han River, but a military map arranged by the naval forces of the Song Dynasty in the area of Xiangyang. At that time, the Mongolian army was extremely strong, and there were no fortified cities in the area of the Great Song Dynasty Jingxi Road except for Xiangyang, and cities such as Laohekou had to rely on the water defense line on the Han River to resist the Mongol soldiers. (This online game setting)

For this reason, in the name of Lu Wende, the pacification envoy of Xiangyang, Keqing Huang Rong issued a military regulation to the counties of the Han River that the troops on the Han River should be redeployed every two years. This arrangement was entirely for the purpose of preparing the Mongols for a detailed effort to find out the deployment of the Song soldiers. Due to the seriousness of the matter, the work of transporting the redrawn waterway map of the Han River to Xiangyang to pacify the embassy every two years has always been undertaken by martial arts masters.

Guo Poyu was shocked when he heard this, and said loudly: "Such an important thing, let the officers and soldiers do it, isn't this a notification to the enemy soldiers to steal it?" ”

Guo Xiang slashed his thigh with a knife in his right hand and said, "Be quiet." Guo Poyu looked up and saw that no one was paying attention here, and continued to ask: "The beggar disciples don't go to Xiangyang to report the news, and most of the maps have not been brought to Jiangbei." Guo Xiang nodded and said: "That's right, Sister Qingfu said that she heard from the beggar gang disciple that Elder Li had chased and intercepted all the way and had driven the thief who stole the map into Laohekou City. It's just that the other party is shrewd and cunning, and he wants to ask a few more helpers just in case. ”

Guo Poyu said with a smile: "I heard Guo Jing praise Elder Li in Xiangyang, saying that his martial arts are no longer under Elder Jian back then, how can he be so cautious, no matter how strong the other party's martial arts are, can it still be stronger than the Nine Bags Elder of the Beggar Gang." ”

Guo Xiang said: "There are more strong players among the strong, and it is not uncommon for the enemy to have masters who are better than Elder Li. What's more, Sister Qingfu later said that she heard the second sister-in-law guess that most of the enemies were Huo Du. ”

"Huodu." Guo Poyu was taken aback, and his voice became louder again: "One of the four heroes of Mongolia, Huo Du, a disciple of the Golden Wheel National Master. ”

Guo Xiang smiled and said: "How about it, should we do Sister Guo Fu a favor and secretly participate in the encirclement and suppression of Huo Du at night." ”

Guo Poyu was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought: "I'm too lazy to help Guo Fu, it's better to let her learn more lessons, so as to save her from cutting off people's arms." It's just a rare opportunity to play against a Mongolian master. If he can capture Huo Du alive tonight, the chivalrous name of the soy sauce man Guo Poyu will be known to the world in an instant.

After the two had lunch and reunited with Wang Jianmin and others, Guo Poyu was still thinking about encircling and suppressing Huodu. He saw that in the street juggling, there was a person who played the fire fold well, he looked at it for a while, and suddenly remembered something, and immediately took out a few dollars of silver to buy the juggler's fire fold, and patiently asked him for the skill of blowing the fire fold. Guo Xiang knew that his twin brother was playful by nature, so he just stood in the distance and shook his head with a smile.

After Guo Poyu learned the mystery of blowing fire, the four of them continued to walk to a teahouse, lit a pot of "Biluochun" in the pergola outside the building, and sat in it to take a rest. Guo Xiang saw a large group of people not far away, forming a circle, and the sound of music came from the circle. She was curious, and squeezed in little by little next to the crowd, only to see that there was a vacant lot for the boss in the circle, and on the chair in the middle sat an old man in his seventies who played the erhu.

The old man pulled to the beginning of sex, and the bow suddenly swept heavily on the strings, and the erhu sound was raised, as if a bird was flying high in the sky from the circle. The originally noisy crowd suddenly quieted down with the sound of flying erhu. At this time, a girl with a mask behind the old man jumped out lightly and sang, "Don't bear the moon and shine, and pity the flowers and shadows." Luo Yi is helpless, sorrowful, lonely and dry. The blue sky is cloudless, and the body and mind of the tired guest are empty. The flower shadows overlap and the fragrance is fine, and the courtyard is deep and light and the moon is bright. ”

With the girl's singing, the old man's piano voice turned low, and his voice became softer and softer, as if he had been swept into a silk thread in the wind, ethereal. Listening to the sound of the piano, Guo Xiang's heart was slowly hazy, and he thought of the wind back to the high-rise building, and gently sent the catkins into the window, and there was a stunning beauty in the house who gently twisted the catkins that fell on the floor, and when she put it back into the wind, she looked far away from the window, and after seeing nothing, she sighed lightly and lightly.

"Good!" After the girl sang a passage, the onlookers cheered like a tide, and people kept throwing copper coins and small ingots of silver at the old man and the girl. At this time, Guo Xiang also pulled back his thoughts from his thoughts. The girl she watched and sang took advantage of this interlude, curled up the long hair of the shawl, and rolled a scholar's bun on her head, and after changing the mask of a man, her voice became clear and low this time, as if it was Zhang Sheng of the West Chamber.

The applause continued, Guo Xiang smiled lightly, took off the golden hairpin with small pearls on his head, threw it on the ground and turned away. The moment the girl who sang the song changed her mask, she recognized her. Guo Xiang remembered that in last year's lion cub competition, she saw this girl who sang the song, and remembered that her name was Magnolia at that time?

Magnolia picked up the golden hairpin, squeezed out of the crowd, and saluted Guo Xiang, who had caught up. When she lowered her head, she gently tuck something into her hand. "For your brother." Magnolia turned to leave, walking back to the circle with a graceful voice.

Guo Xiang walked a long way, and there was still the sound of erhu in her ears, and she turned around to see Magnolia standing in the center of the circle to give the audience a salute.
