Chapter 177: Mr. Lu

When he learned that Wu Ruotang's opponent was King Yan, Shuanglong couldn't help but look at him with an unusually sympathetic gaze! Mingfeng's King Yan is comparable to Tang Fei's King of Qin, and they are all powerful characters.

"I also said that I was counting on Brother Wu to help me, but now it seems that I'm afraid it's no fun!" Kou Zhong shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Wu Ruotang smiled generously: "You can't say that, although King Yan is powerful, I, Wu Xiaotang, am not a vegetarian!" It's a mule or a horse, we'll see on the battlefield! ”

"Brother Wu is so confident, it's really gratifying!" Xu Ziling applauded.

"If I can't resist it then, you two will have to come to my aid!" Wu Ruotang quipped.

Kou Zhong patted his chest and promised, "Haha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say!" ”

"What are you talking about? So happy? Just when a few people rolled up their sleeves and bragged, Shan Wanjing and the three of them came out.

"Hehe, I didn't talk about anything, just talk about it!" Kou Zhong fell silent instantly.

Shang Xiuxun looked at the three of them and didn't ask.

"Wanjing, I'll let you take you to rest!" Shang Xiuxun watched Shan Wanjing travel all the way, and worked hard to arrange for his subordinates to take Wu Ruotang and the four of them to the guest room to rest.

"Xiaotang, I asked you side-by-side, the ranch now has five thousand good horses in hand, which can be sold at any time. However, I heard that Tang Fei's Li Xiuning will come over soon, and I am afraid that he will buy these 5,000 good horses! Shan Wanjing looked at Wu Ruotang and reported.

If Li Shimin hadn't hurt this girl's heart, it is estimated that this girl would definitely say that Li Xiuning, the sister of Shimin's brother, not Tang Fei's Li Xiuning! Haha, Li Shimin, Li Shimin, you are a masterpiece of the ancients, and you want to use women to make profits for yourself! Wu Ruotang sneered in his heart, and then frowned and said: "King Qin is wealthy, if there is a price war, I am afraid that we will have to invest a lot!" ”

Shan Wanjing's eyes darkened and she didn't speak. Jin Se Mixiang said calmly: "It's okay, Li Xiuning should have helped King Qin buy these horses in private." It can't be Tang Fei who pays for it! ”

Wu Ruotang nodded, and Shan Wanjing said in a low voice: "Xiaotang, I'm tired, let's go rest first!" ”

"Hmm. Go ahead! Wu Ruotang sent Shan Wanjing back to the room to rest, and Shi Potian ran out to practice. Only him and Jinse were left in the room.

"How's your conversation with Ssangyong?" Jin Se Mixiang couldn't wait.

"Haha, it's not bad, Kou Zhong has been successfully said by me to take over the world!" Wu Ruotang said with a hint of pride.

Jin Se Mixiang nodded, and then said: "Compared with the original book." In this infinity, Li Shimin's strength is only afraid that it will be even stronger! But right now, Sui Wen's Yang Guang is absurd and unreasonable, and Sui Wen is already full of smoke inside! If Li Shimin intervenes, I am afraid that the situation will be even more erosive.

"Li Shimin shouldn't stretch his hand too long in a short period of time, and the most important thing for him at the moment is to compete for the big position!" Wu Ruotang analyzed.

"Li Shimin's influence is too great, I don't know how many players are willing to work for him! It's a real headache! Jin Se Mixiang shook her head.

"It's okay, take your time, what's the matter, I'm also his aunt's benefactor, but then again, the three fairies of Cihang Jingzhai still owe me a favor!" Wu Ruotang patted his head and said.

Jin Se Mixiang's face darkened instantly: "What." Looking at you like this, do you want them to pay for it? ”

"Uh, that's a good idea!" Wu Ruotang smiled evilly.

"You bastard!" Jin Se Mixiang kicked over angrily, and was easily dodged by Wu Ruotang.

"Mika, are you shy or jealous?" Wu Ruotang said with a wink.

"Hmph, you men don't have a good thing!" After Jin Se Mixiang finished speaking, he pouted and left.

Wu Ruotang looked at the graceful back of the beauty, sighed, scratched his head, and found that he hadn't taken a bath for several days. There seems to be some dirt on his body.

"No, you have to find a place to take a bath!" Wu Ruotang slipped out to find Shuanglong, and after asking the two servants, Wu Ruotang successfully found the residence of the two.

"Brother Wu. What are you doing here? Xu Ziling was surprised.

"Hehe, I'm here to ask you something, do you know there's a bathroom here?" Wu Ruotang asked.

Both shook their heads at the same time.

"I've been on the road for a few days, and I'm very uncomfortable!" Wu Ruotang scratched his body a few times.

At this time, it was already dark, and Kou Zhong suddenly smiled evilly: "Anyway, there is nothing to do in this big night, why don't we go find a place to take a bath together!" ”

"Good idea. I agree! Wu Ruotang quickly stated.

Xu Ziling was silent for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, I'm busy sweating today, and it's more comfortable to wash!" ”

At this time, the huge courtyard was silent, except for Ssangyong's room, the other houses were blackly lit, and some of them even heard the sound of snoring. Fortunately, the entrances and exits are lit by lanterns.

The sky was full of stars, but the moon did not appear.

The neighing of sheep and horses, or the barking of dogs, can be heard in the direction of the pasture, creating a unique atmosphere in the mountain town.

"Which way shall we go?" Kou Zhong said with a headache.

Wu Ruotang had the intention to show his outstanding geographical talent in front of Ssangyong, and then shook his head and said: "According to my observation, on the left is the Pegasus Park of the owner's mansion, behind is the residential building, and on the right is the back mountain. ”

Xu Ziling thought for a moment, and then listened carefully: "But there is a murmuring sound of flowing water in the back mountain, and there is a mountain spring to meet the scene, which is better than blindly rushing and bumping." If you violate the many taboos here, it is not worth it to be beaten with a stick and a leather whip! ”

Kou Zhong smiled evilly, looked at Xu Ziling with ill will, and said, "Haha, it seems that when it comes to being a slave, you are more expert than me!" I've never thought of the smell of being whipped with a stick, Brother Wu, and I'm sure you don't either! Well, forget it, you are a big official, and it is estimated that the owner of the beauty field will not dare to touch you! ”

Wu Ruotang smiled helplessly, but Xu Ziling on the side was unhappy, the two good brothers scolded each other in a low voice, and the three of them immediately tiptoed towards the exit to the back mountain.

After entering the moon cave door, only to know that there is a garden behind the courtyard, the most wonderful thing is that there is a way to return to the outer corridor, extend to the garden, open up the depth of field, cause the verandah to pass through the beautiful scenery of the garden, there is a lotus pond on the left, a hexagonal pavilion was built in the center of the pool, and it is connected to the shore by a small bridge.

The moon appeared in the sky on the right, sprinkling the silver light of this quiet back garden, and the scenery was extremely moving.

"It's a great place!" Wu Ruotang couldn't help but exclaim, and Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling nodded in agreement. The three of them forgot to take a shower and were amazed.

Kou Zhong looked up at the cliff that bent down sharply behind the garden, and the old trees that grew tenaciously between the rocks bent and stretched, dancing lightly in the wind. I couldn't help but sigh, 'It's the first time since my debut that I've had the heart of retreat, and you can see how powerful the infectious power of this place is. ‘

Xu Ziling deeply agreed: "The person who built this inner castle garden must be a master in this way, even if it is Yang Guang's imperial garden." There is no such feeling of fascination. ‘

Wu Ruotang smiled, patted the shoulders of the two, and said with a smile: "Look at the clear stream that winds around gracefully, it must be a spring and waterfall that flows down from the back mountain, and we will find its source." After a while, go to the hexagonal pavilion to enjoy the cool and enjoy the moon, wouldn't it be happy. ‘

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were in a good mood, and they moved when they heard the words.

They take the mood of the visitors, through the left and right bends, the corridor of the beautiful scenery on both sides emerges endlessly, after passing a bamboo forest, the sound of the water is loud, the original end is a square pavilion, the front is a hundred zhang high cliff, a waterfall to the cliff is pouring down. If it is not separated by the bamboo forest, the courtyard will be able to hear the roaring waterfall sound.

The trio were amazed.

On the left, there is a gravel path, which connects with the square pavilion and extends along the cliff edge to the depths of the forest, which makes people feel the desire to seek seclusion.

The three of them walked all the way, turned left and right, and suddenly opened up in front of them, and on the platform near the cliff, there was a two-story small building. The situation is precarious.

At this time, the lights on the second floor were still leaking, indicating that the building was not only inhabited, but also not yet occupied.

"I can't imagine that there is a hole at the end of this road!" Wu Ruotang was surprised.

"There are people living here, so let's not make more trouble! Let's get out of here! Xu Ziling suggested.

Wu Ruotang and Kou Zhong nodded. When the three of them were about to turn around and leave, an old male voice came down from upstairs and said, "Now that your distinguished guest is here, why don't you come up and meet the old man." ‘

"The world's first all-rounder, Lu Miaozi?" Wu Ruotang's heart was shocked, he finally knew which plot this was.

"Brother Wu, what's wrong with you? Why sweat? Xu Ziling said with concern.

"It's okay, I feel like it's in this room. Definitely a great sage! Wu Ruotang dodged.

Kou Zhong grinned: "It doesn't matter if he's virtuous or not, let's go in and take a look, if it's not virtuous, let's add some salt to him, won't it be salty!" ”

"Eh, Brother Kou, if you want to compete for the world, you must first have a heart that respects talents!" Wu Ruotang tirelessly taught.

Xu Ziling pouted: "This guy eats hard and doesn't eat soft!" ”

The three of them walked into the house in a fight. Why should the room be big, and the fragrance of flowers is not much.

When several people walked past the plaque engraved with the words "Comfort Nest" on the main entrance, they all felt a sense of peace and tranquility in their hearts.

There is a couplet hanging on the two beams and pillars at the entrance, written on a wooden plaque, 'Tune the piano in the morning, drums in the evening; The old rain is coming, and the new rain is coming. 'The font is dusty and powerful.

This hall is the architectural form of the four-sided hall, through the four-sided flower and wood windows, the cliff cliff covered by the plants behind, and the surrounding soft fences, faintly penetrate into the hall, and it seems that the mahogany furniture furnished is thick and unpretentious, leisurely and natural. At the corner of the house, there is a staircase made of Nanmu that leads to the upper floor.

The old man's voice came down again: 'Come up, three!' ‘

The three of them exchanged glances and walked up the stairs.

The upper floor is divided into two rooms with a screen, one side is set up with a round table and square chairs, and the other side should be the master's bedroom.

At this time, a person was standing in front of the window, facing out of the window, and said softly, "Three little brothers, please sit down and taste the six fruits made by the old man." ‘

Only then did a few people realize that there were wine glasses and other wine utensils on the table, and the aroma of wine was overflowing.

Under the reflection of the two hanging palace lamps, there are only a few necessary pieces of furniture except for the tables and chairs, all of which are made of sour branch wood, which is elegant and noble.

The old man Eguan Bo belt, although he couldn't see his face because he was carrying them behind his back, but among the three, in terms of height, Xu Ziling was the tallest, Wu Ruotang was second, and Kou Zhong was at the bottom. He was a little taller than Xu Ziling, and he wore a wide robe, which gave him a kind of momentum that made people look up to the mountains.

Wu Ruotang is proud of officialdom after all, and people are more confident, and after a short period of distraction, he came back to his senses. But Ssangyong remembered his identity, looked at the wine on the table, and just as he didn't know what to do, the old man sighed and said:

'Drink! When you have wine, you can get drunk, and life is geometric! ‘

His tone revealed a deep helplessness, making people feel that he must have a sad past.

"Brother Kou, Brother Xu, sit down!" Wu Ruotang pushed Shuanglong and took the lead and sat down.

All three of them were careful not to make a noise that disturbed the holy silence of the little building.

The sound of a waterfall could be heard faintly in the distance.

Wu Ruotang lifted the wine and poured three glasses, but saw that the old man still did not move. He picked up one cup himself, and handed the other two cups to Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong.

The fruit is in the throat, and the wine is mellow, soft and refreshing. The most rare thing is that the fragrance is rich and harmonious, and it has a long aftertaste.

The old man said indifferently: "This wine is made of six kinds of fresh fruits, including pomegranates, grapes, oranges, mountain residues, green plums and pineapples, after fruit selection, washing, water bleaching, crushing, abandoning the core, maceration, juice extraction, fermentation, comparison, filtration, and mellowing processes, and then put it into wooden barrels and buried for three years to brew it, it tastes good!" ‘

Wu Ruotang praised heartily: "My husband is really good at winemaking. And creative. ‘

Ssangyong nodded together, obviously reminiscent of the wine.

The old man was silent for a while, and said softly: "The old man has lived here for nearly thirty years, and no one has ever dared to break into this place except Xiuxun, you must be a newcomer." ‘

Wu Ruotang knows the identity of the old man, but he came with Shan Wanjing, and in this kind of scene, it is naturally difficult to make many excuses. When Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling heard this, they knew that they had violated the taboo, and Xu Ziling said apologetically, "Deputy Butler Liang didn't tell us about this. To disturb the Qing Xiu of the predecessors, I ......'

The old man interrupted him and said, "You have a Yangzhou accent, which is strange, the ranch rarely employs outsiders, what are you here for?" ‘

Xu Ziling then explained.

Until now, the two of them still can't figure out the identity of the old man and his relationship with the ranch, but they can be sure that he is an unfathomable senior master.

"This little brother is extraordinary, and he is introverted! Walking at a pace, he is quite confident, compared to not a child of a family. It's after the eunuch! The old man swept Wu Ruotang with a pair of glasses that were not too cloudy, and said softly.

"Hehe, the seniors are half right, but they are not children of a family. After the official eunuch, if you talk about your background, I am similar to Xiao Zhongziling! Wu Ruotang grinned.

Ssangyong was quite surprised when he heard this: "Could it be that Brother Wu is also a street gangster?" ”

"Haha, almost, orphans whose parents died young!" Wu Ruotang said calmly.

Shuanglong suddenly felt a sense of sympathy, and his relationship with Wu Ruotang went further.

"Son of a poor family. It's rare to be able to grow so far, it's really rare! Lu Miaozi seemed to remember something sad and couldn't help but sigh.

Kou Zhong on the side wanted to tear away this sad topic, so he asked, "Is it true that my predecessor has never left here for thirty years?" ‘

The old man laughed and said, "Of course not, although I have regarded this comfortable nest as a place to live in peace in the past 30 years, I have more time to go out and less time to stay here. ‘

After that, he turned around slowly, facing the three of them.

It was a very special face, simple and causter. His long, dark eyebrows stretched to the spotted sideburns, but the other end was joined together on the bridge of the ear, in stark contrast to his deep eagle eyes. Melancholy wrinkles appeared at the corners of his mouth and under his eyes, giving him a look of reluctance to ask about the world, exhaustion and sadness.

The bridge of his nose is as straight and powerful as his waist, and with his naturally proudly closed lips and slender and clean face, he looks like a prince and nobleman who once enjoyed all the wealth and glory of the world, but now his heart is like ashes.

His gaze slowly swept over a few people, and he smiled slightly: "Do you know why I, a person who doesn't care about the world, will invite you to come up and meet?" ‘

The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads blankly.

The old man showed an exhausted expression, sat down slowly, took the six fruits and drank it all, and said with a wry smile: "If it weren't for this thing hanging on to my life, I might not see a few more people today." ‘

Wu Ruotang shook his head sadly, while Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other when they heard it, and the latter asked, "Is the senior injured?" ‘

The old man nodded and said, "That was the injury I suffered thirty years ago, and although the demon woman's Heavenly Demon Skill is known as the crown of the evil sect, it still can't take my life, so let me take advantage of the mountainous terrain to escape thousands of miles away and hide here." ‘

He sighed again and said, "For thirty years, I have devoted all my energy here to building gardens, and without this sustenance, I am afraid that I would have died of injuries and death." However, in the past few days, I have always recalled the old hatred from time to time, which is a harbinger of the recurrence of the injury, and the old man is afraid that his time is running out. ‘

Wu Ruotang shook his head a little irritably, because he realized that it seemed that this matter was a little too complicated now! The involvement is too wide!

Shuanglong was a little curious about why Wu Xiaotang, who had always been mature and steady, showed such an uncalm look, but the two did not go to their hearts, Kou Zhong exhaled a cool breath, looked at the old man and said, "Who is that demon woman?" ‘

After the old man stared at him for a long time, he glanced at Xu Ziling again, and said, "Actually, I have seen you a long time ago, and I have even eavesdropped on your conversations, and they are indeed two very interesting children. The two were dumbfounded.

Xu Ziling asked, 'Where did the seniors see us?' ‘

The old man said lightly: "Do you remember that deserted village? is where Zhai Rang was plotted miserably, so that all the plates were lost. ‘

The two of them remembered the smoke and said at the same time: 'It's you!' ‘

Although the old man revealed their identities, his demeanor was still as kind as before, and he smiled: "This is the reason why I invited you to come up, just to see that you can completely restrain your spirits, and even hide from Xiuxun, you will know that your kung fu has improved greatly than before."

Brother Kou and Brother Xu, can you tell me why you came here to be a pastry chef? ‘

Shuanglong's face turned black in an instant, and the two couldn't help but ask Wu Xiaotang for help.

"Look what I do. The old gentleman didn't mean to hurt you, just tell the truth! Wu Ruotang said politely.

The two were embarrassed, and seeing Lu Miaozi's friendly demeanor, they didn't hide it, and told the situation of the mistake, of course, they wouldn't tell Lu Miaozi because Kou Zhong took a fancy to the role of the ranch in the world hegemony, and only said that it was to avoid the enemy's tracking. (To be continued.) )
