Chapter 260: The Three Heroes of Lingnan

The human body is fleshy, and the cultivator is not an immortal who does not eat or drink, who said that a good man does not bend his waist for five buckets of rice.

Xu Feng recalled the rich days of spending thousands of dollars in Sendai, as if he was in a different world.

However, he was confident that he would be able to live the kind of happy life of counting silver in the near future, so he made a decision without much thought.

"Thank you for your advice. Xu Feng said.

The old man had a perceptive smile on his face, as if he was stunned, staring at Xu Feng motionlessly, not returning the salute, nor speaking.

Xu Feng patted his head, "Oh, I forgot, I forgot." This is a gratuity. As he spoke, he flipped it over, took out three bronzes from Li Ke's waist and handed it over.

Li Ke looked at the three bronzes with a blank face, and he didn't know what trick the boss used, so he took the money away from his waist in the blink of an eye.

The old man was like a thawing iceman, the expression on his face changed, and his small eyes revealed a more cunning light.

"Ladies and gentlemen, look at this crowd of people, and when you are squeezed to the intersection with stinky sweat, I am afraid it will be sunset. It's better to do this, fifteen taels per person, and the old decay will make it convenient for you. ”

Xu Feng was stunned, remembering that he used to shuttle through the crowd and catch the target, he would smile mysteriously and say, "If you have a ticket, do you want it".

It's really no matter where there is, there is a demand for trading, Xu Feng said with a smile, "Increase the price by one-third out of thin air, a little ruthless." ”

The old man smiled, "It's worth the money, Bao Jun is satisfied." ”

As soon as Xu Feng stretched out his hand, Li Kexin said, Come again! Hurriedly tighten his belt, but Xu Feng's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.

Li Kechang breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was proud, he felt that his belt was tight, and when he looked at it again, a silver ticket had been pinched in Xu Feng's hand.

"This ...... Childe, you ......"

"Please, brother. Xu Feng slapped the silver ticket on the old man and said.

"Wait a minute, everybody. You Fanglangzhong took the silver ticket and ran to a stall on the side of the road in the distance.

"He's not going to take the money and run away. Li Ke said.

"No, the old man is a real trader. Jiang Liao looked at the vendor that the old man ran to and said.

This vendor is different from ordinary vendors in that it occupies a larger area and is surrounded by thick canvas on three sides, leaving the side facing the main road, like a private room.

There are stoves, incense, brocade quilts and other items to keep out the cold and keep warm, which looks quite luxurious.

Behind the low table full of food, there were two people, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes, sleepy with his sleeves and hands, looking like a businessman.

The other has small eyes, a pointed mouth, a big nose, and a sparse beard on the mouth that is half a foot long, which looks very ugly, but there is a kind of prestige on his body, probably from the government.

The old fortune teller handed the silver ticket to the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked official, said a few words with a smile, stretched out his finger and pointed to Xu Feng and the others in the distance, the official nodded, folded the silver ticket and stuffed it in his sleeve, and waved it casually to the side of the road.

Immediately, from the side of the stall, a man who looked like a farmer walked over, wearing soap boots from the government, holding a huge gong and walking towards Xu Feng and the others.

When he got closer, he glanced at a few people, his eyes swept back and forth on Wang Cuihua a few times, and said expressionlessly: "Female dependents can't be brought." ”

Xu Feng has long been aware of the difference between the status of men and women in the Great Xia Dynasty, but this is the first time he has encountered it in reality.

"Be generous, the silver is easy to say. ”

"Ladies can't be brought" The man repeated mechanically, glanced at Wang Cuihua again, and said, "Unless she is a royal family." ”

The women of the Great Xia Dynasty, if they were not born in the Xia clan of the royal family, would not be qualified to enter the hall to study, let alone participate in the Tsing Yi exam, and probably only Xiaoying was an exception in the world.

Wang Cuihua smiled heartily, didn't want to embarrass everyone, and said, "You go, I'll wait here." Because they have been immersed in such concepts since childhood, Jiang Liao Li Ke and Wang Cuihua themselves didn't think it was too much.

Xu Feng was very indignant, Tsing Yi didn't let him participate, and he didn't even let the female dependents enter after watching a review of the Dragon and Tiger List. But for thousands of years, this world has been like this, and there is no way, everyone has to compromise.

Jiang Liao explained a few words to his wife Yin Yin, his eyes were full of soft and cherishing eyes, and he took out a few ingots of silver from the package and stuffed them into her hand.

Pushing back and forth, no one could convince anyone, Wang Cuihua had a layer of feint anger on her face, Jiang Liao had to take a few regretful glances, put away the silver, and her heart was warm.

Looking at the affectionate appearance of Jiang Liao and the others, Xu Feng suddenly remembered a kind of dog, and laughed at himself in his heart.

......

"Boom!"

A deafening gong sounded, and the soap official who was like a cropper shouted loudly: "Give way to the idle people, the three heroes of Lingnan, and be invited to watch the Dragon and Tiger List!"

After a shout, the soap walked towards the crowd. Those students from all walks of life seemed to be dressed in official clothes, and the word "craftsman" was faintly on the gong, so they had to give way.

After walking a few steps, I found that Xu Feng and the three of them were actually in place.

"Knock...... "Knock knock" is another gong again.

Xu Feng, Jiang Liao and Li Ke realized that they had been named the "Three Heroes of Lingnan".

Xu Feng smiled bitterly, and glanced at the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked official from afar.

This strange thing that officials and businessmen collude with and are greedy for profit, I don't know what kind of official in Yingdu is, and if there is a chance, I want to make friends ruthlessly.

The sound of the gong to open the way, coupled with the loud shouting of the soap officer, immediately caused a commotion in the crowd.

Xu Feng secretly exclaimed: "There is still this kind of operation!"

The students and monks from all over the world took the initiative to get out of the way of a narrow road, and Xu Feng and the three of them swaggered through in turn in the eyes of countless admirers.

Sure enough, as the fortune teller said, the value of this silver flower.

"Lingnan Sanjie?"

"I haven't heard of it. Someone had a question on his face.

Some of the students who were crowded on the periphery and had long seen through the trick were full of disdain, helpless to give up the dozen taels of silver, and looked at the officials under the greenhouse beside the road with resentment.

Xu Feng and the three of them, under the leadership of the soap officer, walked through the black crowd without hindrance, and came straight to the gatekeeper, the two guards had already heard the movement, smiled heaps on their faces, and said with their fists clenched: "Everyone, disrespectful, disrespectful, please!"

......

Xu Feng and the others just made a start, and immediately there were sharp-eyed people who saw the ins and outs of the matter, and after a while, the water in front of the greenhouse beside the road was already surrounded by people.

When Xu Feng and the three of them walked up the quiet mountain road full of red leaves and walked towards Tianhuoyu, a series of gongs sounded behind them.

"Jiangnan Four Monsters!

"Langshan Eight Horses ......"

"Walking alone in the desert!"

Countless swaggering names came from the bottom of the mountain.

This kind of blatant fraud makes Xu Feng, who has always had no taboos, feel a little excessive, and it is really shameless to be able to be so careless.

On the mountain road covered by autumn leaves, the scenery is quiet and the autumn breeze is slightly cool.

The trees whose leaves turned red, some were maples, some were coxagulus, some were maples, and more were species that Xu Feng couldn't name.

These trees vary in height and straightness, forming a dense forest. Some of the branches are curved and graceful, and some are like sharp swords.

Most of the students walking on the mountain road have a proud look on their faces, as if they have really passed the guard of the intersection with their skills, and have become wise men who are qualified to watch the dragon and tiger list.

Xu Feng shook his head and sighed, thinking to himself, if the talents who participated in the Tsing Yi test were all like this, then it should not be difficult to win the results he wanted.

It was already past the hour, and there was an official messenger from Yingdu on the mountain to spread the word - the official evaluation of the Dragon and Tiger List was at noon the next day.

Xu Feng and the three of them had to find a shop to live in first.

Tianhuoyu is dozens of miles longitudinal and horizontal, there are many merchants, all of them are beautifully built, the decoration is elegant, either full of luxury, or magnificent.

Xu Feng and the three of them found the three-story attic on the cliffside, and raised their eyes to see the two big characters "Yunhai" on the plaque on the high part of the attic.

Knowing that tomorrow's Dragon and Tiger List will be reviewed here, I walked around the attic to take a look and began to look for a place to stay nearby.

After inquiring, the three of them felt a little confused, no matter how big or small, all inns and restaurants are one word - expensive.

Although Kyoto is large, it is not easy to live in. But on this day, Huoyu is still nearly 100 miles away from Yingdu, but the food, drink and accommodation are close, even higher than the price of Kyoto.

Those innkeepers all rolled their eyes strangely, and they looked like they didn't want to answer. With the release of water at the crossing under the mountain, there are more and more people in Tianhuoyu. Some are guest officials who have paid up the silver, which is obviously another official method.

Jiang Liao was indignant about this, Xu Feng was not surprised, only Li Ke seemed very active, very interested in this kind of operation of the government, inquired everywhere, met a few soap officials from the yamen, and fortunately talked for a while.

The autumn sun is getting lower and lower, and the halo is dyeing the autumn leaves more and more red, as if the air is full of red mist.

The three of them were sitting on a boulder in the valley.

"Now there are two choices," Xu Feng said, "or stay in the cheapest inn, one hundred and sixty taels per person." Or Wu Lao Er's tea shed sat and drank tea overnight, thirty taels per person. ”

"The difference between ninety and four hundred and eighty is a bit big!" Jiang Liao had never spent so much silver, and said with a frown.

"That's what Brother Jiang said. Li Ke also chimed in.

In fact, Xu Feng wanted to find an inn, have a good rest, and no one could practice at night, and he could also test the extent to which his true essence had been condensed along the way, and whether he could impact the Jinshi Realm again.

But Jiang Liao and Li Ke felt sorry for the silver, so they had to give up.

"Not to mention, Kyoto is Kyoto, I will really enjoy it, and this money is not unjust. Li Ke grabbed a good position in the middle of the shed, but his eyes never left the girl holding the pipa and singing on the stage of the tea shed.

"Xiao Er, tea!" Xu Feng put his sword on the table and called.
