Chapter 36: A Chance Encounter
"The disciple has been thinking about it for a long time, and the other party refuses to let go, and now our war horses are in short supply, and the disciple can only grit his teeth and agree, but this price is more expensive than our previous estimate, and the number is only five hundred!" Zhang Cheng looked at Shen Chengping's expression nervously as he spoke.
"Well, Zhang Cheng, you did a good job!" Shen Chengping nodded and said: "Now war horses are a scarce resource, not only us, but all major forces have purchased war horses from Pegasus Ranch, and now our Dragon Tiger Gate is just a newly rising small force in the eyes of others, these old guys from Pegasus Ranch are used to it, and it is inevitable that they will be snub when they meet us, but now we are begging them, and it is naturally understandable to be pinched!" ”
Shen Chengping's tone of voice was understated, but the people around him could hear that Shen Chengping obviously made a note on Pegasus Ranch because of this, in fact, Shen Chengping had already passed the age of being self-willed, so naturally he would not take revenge on him immediately because he suffered this loss, regardless of the situation, but this did not prevent him from taking back the capital and interest in the future.
"Hmph, it seems that when Pegasus Ranch is besieged by the four big gangsters in the future, I will also have a good time!" Shen Chengping thought in his heart, but said lightly to Kou Zhong: "I see that you seem to be very leisurely recently, in this case, from today onwards, in addition to your daily homework, you and Ziling will follow your senior brother to learn how to deal with the affairs of the Dragon and Tiger Sect!" ”
"Yes, Master!" Hearing Shen Chengping say this suddenly, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling both showed joy on their faces, they have always wanted to get ahead, and they have long wanted to get in touch with the facts, Shen Chengping's arrangement can be said to be in line with their intentions.
Shen Chengping nodded secretly, these two boys really deserve to be the protagonists of the Tang Dynasty, and their qualifications and understanding even surprised Shen Chengping, but in half a year, the few martial arts passed on to them by becoming famous have been slightly smaller, and in addition, the art of war, economy, and strategy taught by Shen Chengping have also been learned very quickly, just because they have less experience and the heat is still poor, Shen Chengping will naturally not let them be idle at this time, and this time let them come to this meeting is also the plan.
In the middle of the moon, the weather is sunny these days, the full moon like a jade plate will sprinkle the moonlight, the river is sparkling, the passenger boat on the river is sitting on the bow of a girl who is only eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a lilac long skirt, the skirt is like a butterfly decoration, the long hair is tied with a light blue belt, hanging down the shoulders to the chest, the delicate facial features make a very gentle feeling, there is a feeling of Chuchu, which makes people involuntarily pity.
At this time, the moonlight was hazy like frost, sprinkled on the woman's body, like a layer of faint green yarn, but the girl was holding a lotus flower in her hand, and her slender fingers were twisting the white lotus flower like frost, and the lotus flower with one petal was picked by the girl, and one petal was in the water, floating away with the water.
A few girls hummed a soft little tune, and she sang the Han Yuefu "Jiangnan": "Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves He Tiantian." Between the lotus leaves, the east of the lotus leaves, the west of the lotus leaves, the south of the lotus leaves, and the north of the lotus leaves. The soft voice sings the unique charm of the Jiangnan water town, adding a little tenderness to the bright moonlight.
After a while, the sound of footsteps behind her, the girl turned around, a look of surprise appeared on her face, but it was a young man in a green robe, the girl happily greeted her, the young man smiled slightly, took the girl into his arms, hugged the girl's gentle delicate body and turned around, and sat down on the side of the boat. His head was buried in the girl's long hair, and while gently sniffing the fragrance of the girl's hair, he said, "The singing is very good, why did you stop?" ”
"Do you like to hear it, young master?" Zhenzhen was overjoyed in her heart, and said at the moment: "Is it okay for Zhenzhen to sing to the young master with the piano?" ”
After Shen Chengping nodded, Zhenzhen happily jumped out of Shen Chengping's arms, walked into the cabin, and quickly brought out the case table and the piano.
Accompanied by the sound of Qingyue's piano, Zhenzhen's crisp and soft voice sounded under the moon: "Ruoye Creek picks lotus girls, laughs across lotus flowers, the sun shines on the new makeup, the water is bright, the flying incense is lifted in the air, who is on the shore You Yelang, three, three, five, five reflect the weeping poplar, the purple horse hisses into the falling flowers, and sees this spider emptying the intestines." ”
This one is actually Li Bai's "Lotus Picking Song", Shen Chengping unceremoniously took it out, and used it when he taught Zhenzhen, and now Zhenzhen sings it, which has a unique charm.
At this time, Shen Chengping and Wei Zhenzhen were not simply boating on the river, but for the affairs of the Giant Whale Gang, although the old gang leader of the Giant Whale Gang, Yun Yufei, died in assassination, but the strength of the Giant Whale Gang is still there, and its countless strongholds along the Yangtze River are not at all comparable to the Giant Whale Gang that has declined more than two years later.
"Young Master, is this Yun girl the one we met in Danyang? I didn't expect her to be in charge of such a big gang at such a young age! Zhenzhen couldn't help but say.
"It's just forced by current events!" Shen Chengping said indifferently, by now, he has passed several lifetimes of reincarnation, Shen Chengping has passed the stage of being affected by the original plot, and the things in the original plot are just a reference for Shen Chengping.
In the original work of the Tang Dynasty, Yun Yuzhen is really a prodigal woman, most of the people who have seen it will not have a good impression of Yun Yuzhen, Shen Chengping was the same at the beginning, but now in Shen Chengping's view, Yun Yuzhen is just an ordinary girl, and the later changes can only be said to be due to fate, but even so, Shen Chengping decided to participate in the competition to recruit relatives, many of them are because of the Giant Whale Gang, after all, I have seen too much, there are many poor women in this world, and Shen Chengping can't care about them all.
After a while, Shen Chengping heard a strange or unbearable flute sound in his ears, as piercing as a sharp claw cutting through an iron plate, Shen Chengping frowned, turned his head to look at the source of the sound, but it was a big boat passing by, and the one standing at the bow of the boat was still an acquaintance.
Shen Chengping recognized the person at a glance, and it happened that the person also saw Shen Chengping's side, and after a little look, he also recognized Shen Chengping, and immediately said loudly: "But Shen Chengping Brother Shen?" I didn't expect to be able to see Brother Shen here today! ”
With this shout, the noise-like flute sound also stopped abruptly, and when Shen Chengping stood up, the man saluted directly.
Shen Chengping also smiled slightly, he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here, and the person in front of him was not someone else, it was Song Shidao, who had met with Shen Chengping in Yangzhou before, and then Shen Chengping said loudly: "It turned out to be Brother Shidao, don't come to harm!" ”
