"The weeping willows continue to pick up the remnants, and the wild goose teeth and red bridges are drawn; It is also a pot of gold, so it should be called Slender West Lake. ”

There are six out of thirty West Lakes in the world, but the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou is unique from the lakes with its delicate and graceful demeanor. It attracted many literati and elegant guests to linger, and some people even took "100,000 yuan around their waists and riding a crane down to Yangzhou" as a lifelong pleasure.

This said, the silk and bamboo of Mingyufang on the lakeside played in unison, the lanterns were lit, the guests in each courtyard were constantly flowing, and the laughter and laughter of wine were endless. Among them, the Lichun Courtyard is the most lively, and a few tables are set up in the hall, and there are big salt merchants who invite their peers to drink here.

There is a private seat upstairs in Lichun Courtyard, and there is also a banquet inside, but there are not many dishes on the table, only four cold and four hot, plus a pot of osmanthus stuffed. At the table sat a young man who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slight smile on his delicate eyebrows and eyes, looking very kind and handsome, wearing a royal blue robe and a small melon skin hat, dressed like a rich boy.

This rich boy has a Beijing accent, and he doesn't bring an entourage, for five consecutive days, every time it is dark, he comes to a private seat and wine and food, and orders the most good at playing the piano The orchid girl is accompanied, but he doesn't do nephrite warm and fragrant things, just politely ask her to talk about the piano and sing, and when she is interested, she will fiddle with the strings a few times and play a song, so that she is a person who knows the rhythm very well.

Fortunately, this little boy was generous, and he only stayed for two or three hours each time, but he left enough reward money when he left, which made several other girls envy Lan Xiang for meeting an elegant son, and they also wanted to seize the opportunity to emulate Dong Xiaowan's beautiful things in venturing the frontier.

This rich boy is Liu Meng, and said that since they arrived in Yangzhou, the senior brother took a pair of incense, candles, and paper money, and took advantage of the night to pay tribute to the elders of the sect such as the ancestor at the south gate of Yangzhou City, and then looked around to find the place where the body was buried.

And Liu Meng was worried that Mao Eighteen was about to appear, so he found an excuse to come out alone every evening, and asked the sedan chair to be carried to Mingyufang, and played in the Lichun courtyard to wait for the rabbit.

Mingyufang is a famous gold cave, and it costs no twenty taels per day. In desperation, Liu Meng went to be a hero who robbed the rich and helped the poor, and got two or three hundred taels of silver, so he insisted on going to Lichun Courtyard every time to be that humble gentleman.

Lan Xiang is twenty-eight years old, the most budding age of spring, while holding a pot to add wine to this gentle jade-like little boy, while blushing and shyly peeking at the other party's attractive face.

At this moment, there was a noise in the Mingyu Fang, and there were loud voices shouting everywhere, as if they were looking for an enemy, so that everyone should not panic. Shouting and shouting, someone came and knocked on the door of Lichun Courtyard, causing chaos upstairs and downstairs.

Hearing this kind of noise and chaos, the little boy who was originally bored suddenly got up, stretched out his hand and patted the table, and said happily: "After waiting for several days, my good friend is finally here!" ”

Pushing open the door slightly, I saw a group of big men with white cloth wrapped in their heads, with green belts wrapped around their waists, dressed as salt owls, holding bright steel knives in their hands, rushing in like a fierce god, shouting in chaos that they were going to find Jia Lao Liu of the Heaven and Earth Society.

It turned out that Jia Lao Liu drank too much in the tavern, and sarcastically ridiculed the smuggled salt seller in Yangzhou for not planting, not daring to kill officials and rebel, but only smuggling and tax evasion, and doing some small business without courage. was heard, so the salt lords of the Green Gang were not convinced, and specially came to Jia Lao Liu to ask for an explanation.

The first old man shouted loudly a few times, and when he saw that no one came out to answer, his subordinates scolded themselves, what "The good man of the Heaven and Earth Society, how did he shrink the head of the turtle?" "Spicy Mom, are you going to be the Heaven and Earth Club or the Shrinking Head Society?"

Liu Meng watched this scene quietly from the crack in the door, knowing that according to the plot in the book, Mao Shibai was going to jump out and fight because the other party insulted the Heaven and Earth Society, and this led to Wei Xiaobao's ghostly appearance.

With the words of making fun of the salt owl in a room in the east wing, several big men thought that Jia Laoliu was inside, and immediately rushed in with knives, but they were thrown out one by one, screaming in pain for a while, and no one dared to rush in.

A girl in her thirties laughed and laughed, and was knocked to the ground by several mouths of the salt lord, and snot and tears burst out. A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy who seemed to be his son burst out, shouting and scolding loudly, and speaking viciously, making the salt lord so angry that he was smoking, chasing after the boy and fighting, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

This young man is Lord Wei Xiaobaowei. He was thin and small, with a strange face, and he was forced to tighten by the salt lord, and he lowered his head and went into the house where the battle was raging.

Next, it's time to make your debut.

Liu Meng turned around and returned to the table, poured the remaining half pot of osmanthus brew into his mouth, then picked up the long sword wrapped in black cloth next to the table, smiled at the panicked Lan Xiang on the side, and said: "These few days thanks to the girl's company, I have a very happy life, and I ask the girl to accept some silver, we will have a date later." ”

took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels, put it on the table, and picked up half a roast chicken. Liu Meng went out and went downstairs, walked through the chaotic crowd, went out of the courtyard first, looked left and right at the terrain, found a stone at the exit of Mingyufang and sat down, put the long sword in his arms, held the roast chicken in one hand, tore off a chicken leg, and slowly gnawed it.

About a quarter of an hour later, the roast chicken in his hand was eaten until there was only a shelf left, and there was movement in the street leading to Lichun Courtyard.

First, a group of salt lords, carrying steel knives upside down, hurriedly left with a few wounded. Soon a donkey cart would come, but in the middle of the night, it headed west, which looked extremely strange. And behind this donkey cart, there were two more salt lords, armed with steel knives, sneakily following behind, I don't know what the idea was.

Liu Meng, who was sitting on the side of the road, didn't raise his head, but continued to nibble on the roast chicken, and the people in the donkey cart and the salt lord who followed behind just looked at it and ignored it, thinking that it was a drunk sitting there.

When the donkey cart in front of him was far away and couldn't be seen, Liu Meng got up, threw away the chicken rack that was unusually clean, picked up the cloth bag wrapped in the long sword, spread his legs and chased after it, gathering internal force under his feet, and from time to time urging up the eight-step method of catching cicadas, and quickly leaping forward.

Naturally, Mao Shibai and Wei Xiaobao, who were seriously injured, were sitting in the donkey cart, and the salt lord who followed behind thought that he wanted to follow these two people, and then bring in good hands to surround and kill them after dawn. And he has to appear at this time, get rid of these two stalking salt lords, and sell his favor to Mao Eighteen.

This way of making friends is the best way that Liu Meng came up with after careful consideration. Mao Shibai and Wei Xiaobao are both rough people in the market, who are most enthusiastic and righteous, and pay attention to boldness and heroism, so it is not difficult to pay a little attention to what they like.

You must know that from the moment he entered the world of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", Liu Meng would think about how to complete the task in his spare time, how to get close to Wei Xiaobao to gain his trust, and some of the plots in the book were pondered several times, and finally chose to appear at this time, striving to be familiar with the two before they arrived in the capital
