Chapter 46: A Stroke in the Wind

The most famous shop by Dongting Lake is Master He's big meat bun shop. Master He's big meat bun is the size of a steamed bun, mainly a vegetable trap, which is wrapped in three pieces of pork belly, which is very sweet and delicious. On this day, his shop welcomed three distinguished customers. Two men and one woman, both men in blue-blue samurai uniforms, one with a saber at his waist and the other with a steel spear on his shoulder. And the female guest was dressed in a bearded suit, with a light veil on her face, and her demeanor was outstanding. The three of them asked for more than fifty buns, and Master He was so surprised that his jaw dropped, and fifty buns were enough for the rations of ten ordinary people.

"Look at that boss's dumbfounded appearance, he must have been frightened by our appetite." Ke Zhan smiled and whispered. "You guy, you eat half a cow every day, I don't know where it grows?" Bashanhe said with a smile.

Princess Splendid didn't speak, just gently picked up a bun, carefully broke it, and then took a big bite unexpectedly, and suddenly smiled: "It's the first time I've eaten such a fragrant bun."

But Zhan was overjoyed and said, "Since the girl said so, I have to chew it and treat my stomach and intestines."

Bashanhe glanced at Princess Jinxiu deeply and said, "The girl seems to have a soft spot for Central Plains food."

Princess Jinxiu's bright star-like eyes glanced at Bashan He, and said, "The people of the Central Plains like to enjoy, and they spend more effort on food and drink than we spend on riding horses, how can people not like it."

But Zhan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he lowered his voice and said, "Such a leisurely and hard-working race will be wiped out by our powerful Turks sooner or later." That being said, he still took two bites of three and stuffed two large buns.

Princess Jinxiu's face showed a thoughtful expression, and she said slowly, "The Han people are weak, no wonder they have been bullied by various ethnic groups outside the Saiwai for more than 300 years and are powerless to fight back. However, the Han people have a large population, a lot of knowledge, and a great deal of writing, which is really amazing. When I first read the Art of War at the age of twelve, I still can't forget that deep feeling. The incisive insights on marching and warfare in the Art of War struck my heart like a morning bell, and a whole new world appeared before my eyes. The so-called famous battles of the previous tribal conquests have lost all meaning in my eyes. The Han military may be far inferior to our Turkic nation, but the military talent is definitely superior to our people. I hope that every member of my clan will keep this in mind."

Bashanhe looked at Princess Jinxiu's beautiful eyes that were misty because of deep thought, and said after a while: "Our army has the leadership of Princess Jinxiu, and it will be invincible."

Princess Splendid showed a hint of confidence in her eyes: "The survival of all the tribes of the prairie is in the midst of a time of heroes. Since I was a child, I have studied the art of war and strategy, believing that as long as I have the opportunity to learn it, the Turks will be able to master the art of war written by the Han people with great painstaking efforts, and in this way, the Han people's military advantage over us will be lost. Not only should I be proficient in the art of war, but I would also teach the art of war and strategy among the tribes of the steppe, and train my own Turkic military talents. One day, our army will cross the Great Wall and turn all the places we can see into the pastures of the Turks."

Ke Zhan and Bashanhe's eyes both showed a look of longing. Princess Jinxiu looked around, feasting on the scenery of Dongting Lake, and said, "Look at how beautiful and charming the beauty of this Dongting is. Our Turkic people are trapped in the bitter cold land outside the fortress all day long, going through wind and frost, enduring hardships, and struggling to survive. And these Han people guard such beautiful scenery and live a leisurely life of sunrise and sunset. How unfair it is."

Ke Zhan and Bashanhe both showed indignant looks on their faces, and nodded slowly.

Princess Splendid raised her head and said, "Splendid mountains and rivers, the strong live in them, I look forward to the foreign tribes day and night, the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Leaping Horse Han people, this dream that stretches for several generations will be completed in the hands of my generation."

Bashanhe and Ke Zhan whispered, and their hearts were full of blood, and they all made up their minds to follow Princess Jinxiu to the death.

At this moment, a clear and heroic voice came: "Hey, shopkeeper, give me twenty buns." A young man of medium stature and ordinary appearance walked into the store.

The three princesses of Splendid Splendid were secretly taken aback when they heard this voice, and at the same time looked at the young man. They all recognized this person as the heroic man who was singing on Dongting Lake just now. Yes, this person is Peng Wuhope.

But Zhan was about to reach out and touch the steel gun beside him, but was pulled by Bashanhe.

Princess Splendid shook her head vigorously, stopped Ke Zhan's reckless move, and whispered, "Don't make more branches, eat quickly, and leave as soon as you finish eating."

At this time, there were not many guests, so Peng Wuwang had one table, and one table with Princess Jinxiu, a total of two tables of guests. Strangely, the guests at both tables were silent, throwing off their cheeks and eating wildly. To Ke Zhan's astonishment, Peng Wuwang ate twice as fast as him. Three bites and two bites, seven chews and eight chews, and the twenty buns are all gone.

"Shopkeeper, settle the score!" Peng Wuwang wiped his mouth contentedly, and reached into his arms to take out the silver taels. A guy from the shop came to him with a smile and said, "Thank you, guest, three, two, four dollars."

Peng Wuwang took out a long time before he could barely scrape together four taels of silver, put it in front of the guy, and said, "Hey, don't forget to find money."

The guy rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice, "It looks like a man, it turns out to be a hollow radish, so stingy." Put away the money and go to the counter to look for money.

Ke Zhan and Bashanhe both broke out in a cold sweat for him, and with Peng Wuwang's skills that they speculated, they could really slaughter this guy with a blow. He even dared to speak disrespectfully to Peng Wuwang.

Peng Wuwang was also furious, slammed the table, and said, "That guy, don't look at people in vain, the master's silver is earned with a knife and a shot, and you are not my old man, why do you want me to lose money to support you."

That guy was not a good man or a woman, and immediately launched a biao and scolded the street with foul language. Peng Wuwang was not to be outdone, and started scolding him. The two of them spat and took care of each other's more than a dozen ancestors, scolding each other incomprehensibly, until the owner of the bun shop rushed out from the back of the house and reprimanded the guy, Peng Wuwang stopped scolding and said loudly: "Fortunately, Lao Tzu has something important, otherwise I would have scolded you today." As soon as I slapped my stomach, I was about to walk out the door.

But Zhan didn't understand it at all, and whispered to Princess Jinxiu: "That guy is not crazy, that guy is so hateful, he should be slapped and knocked out his full mouth of teeth, why bother so much, scold him like a scoundrel." It's a shame."

Bashanhe glanced at Peng Wuhope's back with respect on his face, and said, "Ke Zhan, what do you know, the heroes and heroes of Middle-earth will not bully others by force. This person is this kind of upright hero. He'd rather have a fight with the shopkeeper to let him know that he would never bully him, and he wouldn't use his fists or kicks against him."

Princess Jinxiu also glanced at Peng Wuwang appreciatively, and whispered, "But you can fight, you have to learn from others, and you will stab you with your steel gun at every turn. The sin is too heavy."

But Zhan Man didn't care, and said, "I don't want to, but I've been like this since I was a child, stabbed and stabbed, and gradually I got used to it, and it's hard to change it."

Peng Wuwang's foot had already stepped out of the store, and he heard the faint discussion of the guests at the other table, although he couldn't hear it really, but he guessed that he was talking about himself, so he couldn't help but look at the adjacent table.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, lifting the veil of Princess Splendid Beauty, and her peerless beauty immediately appeared in front of Peng Wuhope's eyes.

"What's that?" Peng Wuwang only felt dazzled for a while, unable to believe what he was seeing. It was at this moment that he experienced a touch of beauty that he had never felt in his life. He used to be fascinated by the spring breeze and the scent of the wind. He was also fascinated by summer flowers, and loved the vibrant bloom. He used to spend a few hours standing stupidly in front of the window, watching the autumn rain, infatuated with the kind of chic pleasure that washed away the lead, the winter snow made him happy, staying in the winter snow in Saibei all day seemed to him the most natural thing, watching the hexagonal dazzling snowflakes slowly fall was once the most beautiful memory of his childhood, and he still missed those dreamy good days. These are the beauties in his understanding, and although he can't describe them, he knows them completely. However, the beauty of Princess Splendid is something he doesn't know at all. Soft as the wind, brilliant as a flower, elegant as rain, dazzling as snow. Among all the indescribable beauties, there was another beauty that Peng Wuwang could not comprehend. That is mystery: mystery is like the stars in the deepest corners of the night sky, mystery is like a touch of snow white on the peak of the most moving sea tide, and mystery is like a shadow reflected in the water of a quiet turquoise lake.

Peng Wuwang felt as if he was standing in a cherry blossom garden after the autumn rain, the gentle spring breeze covered his clothes, the brilliant flowers bloomed brilliantly, and the snow fell in the sky. He felt that his life had risen to the pinnacle of the most intense and splendid in front of the beautiful face of the splendid princess. And this kind of feeling like a person at the peak is something that Peng Wuwang has never dreamed of before.

Seeing Peng Wuwang standing at the entrance of the store in a daze, Bashanhe and Ke Zhan's faces showed a look of understanding, and they recalled the unforgettable scene when they first met Princess Jinxiu. Their performance may not be as decent as Peng's. Even now, years have passed, but in the face of the unveiled Jinxiu, they will still be in a trance, just like Peng Wuwang is now. Peng Wuwang involuntarily came to the front of Princess Jinxiu, coughed vigorously, and said in a dry voice, "Girl, you...... It's beautiful."

"Boom", Bashan River, Ke Zhan stood up at the same time, the temperature in the bun shop plummeted, murderous, the five-foot long knife and the steel gun pointed at Peng Wuwang left and right, and shouted in unison: "Maniac, the exit is light, and the crime deserves death."

Princess Splendid raised her hand lightly, and the two of them snorted and put away their blades together.

"Childe's words are indiscreet, and they are not exempt from etiquette." Jinxiu said slowly.

Peng Wuwang suddenly woke up, let out a long breath, bowed deeply, and said, "Girl, please forgive me for taking the liberty of being below. Below, I just want to know where the girl is and who are in the family."

"What a big dog, dare to interrogate our young owner." But the war was enraged and reported the false identity of Princess Splendid Beauty.

Jinxiu went south this time to plan the invasion of the Tang Dynasty, and assumed the pseudonym Gongsun Jin, and was the young owner of the Shenbing Villa outside the Saiwai. And can fight, Bashanhe is named Li Gang and Li Qiang respectively, and is the protector of the Divine Soldier Villa. In fact, a hundred years ago, the Shenbing Mountain Villa was secretly exterminated by the Turks who secretly sent all their masters to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. So, this fake identity is completely unassailable.

Peng Wuwang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said to Ke Zhan: "This brother, you misunderstood, I just want to inquire about this girl's parents, and when I am hired in the future, I should be prepared."

"Hired?" The three of them screamed at the same time, even Princess Splendid was no exception.

"Yes," Peng Wuwang said with a sincere face, "Girl, in Xia Peng, a person from Pengmen in Qingzhou, his family has been running a dart bureau for generations, and he has savings, and his former residence in Qingzhou still has 100 acres of fertile land, more than 70 houses, and his family is quite well-off. I, Peng Wuwang, was twenty-one years old, my parents died early, I was raised by my uncle, and I had a cousin, whose surname was Peng. When I saw the girl today, I couldn't extricate myself from asking myself, and I was willing to marry the girl as my wife. May the girl have mercy on me and be willing to bend down. I have no hope of guaranteeing that my girl will have enough food and clothing and a happy life for the rest of her life."

When she said this, the three of Princess Jinxiu and her party turned red one by one, staring at each other, and they didn't know how to deal with it for a while. After a while, Bashanhe stumbled and said, "You, what are you?"

Peng Wuwang's eyes turned red and said, "There are no elders below. Although my uncle is still in the world, he has become demented because of others. Peng was cumin, so he had to propose marriage for himself. Although there is a little lack of etiquette, Peng is sincere, and heaven and man can learn from him. I hope the girl will have mercy."

But Zhan was so shocked that he hiccuped twice in a row, and finally took a breath, and said, "You think very beautifully, with your hundred acres of fertile land and a few houses, you want to marry our Shaozhuang...... Lord?"

Peng Wuwang was shocked, and hurriedly said, "I don't know the girl's family background, I was reckless this time. But I, Peng Wuhope, are about to rebuild the dart game at home, and when the time comes, I will have no problem with how much dowry the girl's family wants."

Princess Jinxiu had never encountered such an embarrassing situation in her life, and she was also a little at a loss, she was stunned for a long time, and said, "When you have enough gold taels, go to the Divine Soldier Villa to find me a job." After speaking, he hurriedly stood up, dropped a few taels of silver, and led Ke Zhan to flee in a hurry.

Peng Wuwang was stunned, and it took a while to react, but Jinxiu and his party had already walked away. "Ten thousand taels of gold, I don't know when I will earn it." He thought listlessly.

"Divine Soldier Villa?" Then he thought, "Divine Soldier Villa? I'll definitely find it." He felt a sweet feeling in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, Peng Wuwang looked at the sun that was close to the zenith, laughed, and said secretly, "It turns out that the relationship between men and women is so beautiful, I didn't know it before. God has been so kind to me." He smiled a little, and suddenly remembered, "By the way, first last year, I helped the general altar rescue the predecessors of the Red Sky Hero and solve the matter of the Nian Gang. Then, I will survive well, rebuild the game of flying tigers, and strive to earn 10,000 taels of gold as soon as possible and win the return of beauty."

So, on the shore of Dongting Lake, Peng Wuwang tasted the sweetness of love for the first time in his life.
