Text Chapter 16 Seeing the unevenness of the road, drawing a sword to help
Put on a new bouquet of clothes. A red figure slowly walked out of the door, with black boots and red clothes and a tender swordsman's air. A smile of indulgence adorned her handsome face at this time.
The disciple who was wielding the sword outside the door focused his gaze on Yuan Chen for a second and then continued. Originally smiling, he opened his mouth in astonishment and set off towards the Tang border.
Chang'an was bustling with activity, and there were piles of merchants on the side of the road who were waiting for the customer's source to consult. Stopped at a stall. On the black sack are various colors of medicinal herbs on the ground. Yuanchen, who was attracted by the novelty, stared at the medicine plants on the stall over and over again.
At this time, the stall owner smiled happily and took a medicinal herb and recommended: "This friend is going out, so he should prepare a little more medicine for emergencies, you might as well buy a wild camellia from the south, and take it when you are not accustomed to the water and soil, so as to ensure that you are in good spirits." ”
Yuanchen took out his money bag and saw that there were more than 6,000 taels of silver left in the silver taels given by Li Shanren. After pondering for a while, he bought a blood-colored camellia and continued on his way.
The hot weather made people sleepy and hungry, and they squinted sleepily and walked to the largest hotel in Chang'an, Yunlai Hotel. Before entering the hotel, it was already crowded, and when I sighed and wanted to find a random place to rest, a large group of people poured out of the door of the hotel. Some are full of fiery eyes, while others seem to have met someone who wants to flee for their lives. Yuanchen jumped up and looked inside, but he couldn't see anything except the black crowd.
patted the excited guy next to him on the shoulder and asked, "Brother, what's going on here, it seems that something is not peaceful." ”
The young man's face was full of excitement, and he was shocked to tell who the person inside was.
Yuan Chen's gaze at this time showed unprecedented seriousness, and his eyes were staring at the front. It turned out that it was the idol that Yuanchen was persuaded by his master to come to Fangcun Mountain when he was a child, Liu Rufeng. In the Martial God Altar Gang War, he represented Lingyun Hall to kill thousands of people, for a dragon god's Five Dragons Pill Blood Dragon Cave Slay. He is like Lu Bu, more than heroes, but not enough wrists. Although it is a thousand troops, it is difficult to defeat Sanying. In the management of the army, the leading strategy was defeated again and again in the later stages of the war. In the end, he could only stand on the top of Lingyun and laugh.
In the disgusted eyes of everyone, they squeezed to the front, staring at him in black clothes in the tavern, outstanding and heroic. Born with the momentum of a king who dominates the world, the bridge of his nose is surrounded by a faint fragrance of tea. Ignoring the gazes of others, he walked straight out. Sometimes the eyes of others are focused on Yuanchen, which is disgust. Focusing on Liu Rufeng's body is looking up. The comparison between the two is the gap.
I traveled all the way to the border of the Tang Dynasty, and there are five main places according to the distribution in the map.
To the north is Jiangzhou, and the prefect Liu Hong is the son-in-law of Prime Minister Yin. In charge of the stability of the Jiangzhou generation, due to the long-term presence of bandits and robbers at the border, the social life of Datong naturally does not exist. At night, he also told the villagers not to stay out of the house at night. During the day, try to take the avenue and don't take the forest shortcut.
To the northwest is the underworld, which is run by the Bodhisattva King of the underworld. It is said that there are almost no bandits in the vicinity, only gods and monsters. There is also a post owner appointed by the underworld.
The southwest is where Hongzhou is located, where the terrain is rare, there are often wind and sand, and it is also a frontier place, and the suspects assigned there have to pass through Hongzhou, and it is also the place where the most dead people are.
In the center is Jinshan Temple, which is the place where King Li Shimin worships his ancestors every year, burns incense and worships Buddha. He had a godbrother there, a child who had been wearing a robe by the river since he was a child, and a monk named Xuangui.
To the southeast is the Putuo Mountain controlled by Guanyin Bodhisattva, full of fairy spirit, there are no thieves everywhere, antique dealers and some merchants who do the business of distributing border families are wandering near Putuo Mountain, if there are thieves, they can seek protection at the first time. But he would never dare to go half a step down the thunder pool, because there were prison hooligans who were rampant with bad loans.
Not long after lowering his head and putting down the map, a man with a muscular body and a murderous aura in his eyes ran over with two iron axes in his hands. Chasing a man wearing Luobu silk in front of him, seeing that the man was about to leave the border of the Tang Dynasty, the man shook the axe with his right hand and wanted to cut off his leg, and he hated it very much. Yuanchen pulled out his knife and swept it away in an instant, and the flying axe collided with the blade, Yuanchen only felt that his right arm shook, and the axe fell to the ground and knocked a deep reprint.
"You", the bandits with linen headbands were already so angry that they stomped their feet, and when Yuanchen was proud, a young woman chased out of the woods. Tears in his eyes rushed out. Yuanchen thought that the woman was being chased by this bandit, and rushed over to stand in front of the girl, but he didn't know that he was pushed away. Then he ran up to the bandit and said thank you.
Looking at the bandit in front of him with stunned eyes, the man sighed in a low voice and said: "I also know that I don't look like a good person in this dress, the rich disciple just now wanted to insult the woman on the other side of the woods, although I am a bandit, I also have a heart to protect people." ”
"Then why did you want to be a good person and become a bandit." Yuan Chen asked rhetorically.
The man laughed dryly: "Life is in the world, who doesn't yearn for a free and easy life." Originally, I was a woodcutter in Jiangzhou, living honestly, and chopping wood was also comfortable. Unexpectedly, in order to help a person, he offended the bullies in the village and guarded his bullying every day. I couldn't bear it, so I didn't stop killing him, and fled to the mountains and wilderness. At least no one bullied me here, and when I ran out of money, I asked for a drink from a rich person passing by. For some of the young women of the villagers who were hurrying, I swore to God, and I didn't move a single hair. Today's goods were interrupted by you, so it's just that. It's not helpful to say more. ”
Yuan Chen slowly came back to his senses and glanced at each other. It turned out that I was doing a disservice, helping a criminal, and I felt palpitations. Hurriedly rounded up the topic and said, "I'll invite you to drink!" Eat beef!! ”
As soon as he heard the drink, the man nodded unexpectedly, and his big mouth smiled more crooked than the moon.
...
At this time, the Yunlai Hotel became as lively as usual after Liu Rufeng left, and finally waited for a location. Yuanchen said to Xiao Er: "Come to two catties of high-quality daughter Hong, and I want a plate of sauced beef." ”
Okay, Xiao Er handed over a plate of beef. Say, guest officer, I'll bring you wine.
"Hurry up." The thief took a bite of the beef and put it into his mouth after shouting Xiao Er, and spit out the beef after chewing it a few times. Yuanchen next to him looked at it directly, tasted the beef, and found that the taste was a little weird.
The thief punched the table, the dishes and chopsticks on the table made a jingling sound, and everyone's eyes were focused on Yuanchen and them, only to see the shopkeeper dragging his fat figure and smiling. smiled and apologized: "This guest officer, is there any dish that is not appetizing, if it is not with the appetite, we can change one." ”
The thief handed the chopsticks to the shopkeeper, and when the shopkeeper saw that they had ordered beef sauce, he knew what was going on. After being silent for a long time, the shopkeeper handed out a bag of silver and a jar of wine to Yuanchen and them, and said, "I'm sorry for the guest officer." It's our signature dish, for some reason, so..."
Yuanchen lowered his voice and asked, "Is there any distress, you might as well say it." ”
