Chapter 196: Two bowls of wine, one thousand and nine swords for wine

His Royal Highness happened to hear the old student's self-talk and ignored it.

There are countless people in the Spring and Autumn Eight Kingdoms, which mourner is not a mourning dog?

When passing by the bachelor who laughed at himself as an old dog, he caught a glimpse of the old man in a hurry out of the corner of his eye, and saw that His Royal Highness had no intention of resting, so he hurriedly turned sideways and made a deep posture looking at the river, worried about the country and the people, and continued: " Before my dynasty Zhenyuan, the temple dispute is the battle of the pillar country, is for the emperor to lay down the country of the civil and military ministers, each in place of the group behind the force of intrigue and intrigue, the fight is a sharp word, among which the orphans of the eight countries were lucky to occupy a seat, since the beginning of the Yonghui period, the first assistant Zhang Julu began to grasp the authority, after more than ten years of big fish swallowing small fish, small fish eating shrimp, the eight talents or active or forced, gradually abandon the fence, into the court, the civil and military boundaries are blurred, turned into the two major scholar groups of the north and south confrontation, the south is relatively weak, but there is the support of the two kings of Yan and Guangling, especially in the first year of Yonghui to the fourth year of Yonghui in just four years, with the Shu family from the Ministry of Shangshu Zhao Youling as the head, Wang Xionggui, Yuan Yu, Han Lin and so on of the southern Han clan have been promoted one after another, and have been able to grasp the real power of various ministries, and the Jiangnan Shizi Group complement each other, the momentum has risen sharply, and no effort has been spared to strive for a word, fame! The Ming monarchs of the past dynasties must be taboo to hold power and courtiers to hold power, and the courtiers are in charge of the country, I Liu Wenbao is different from those vertical and horizontal families, looking at the rise and fall of the dynasty, and does not start with the wisdom of the emperors, but finds another way, starting from the power minister, the virtuous minister rejuvenates the country, and the treacherous minister misleads the country, Liu Wenbao steals that within five years, Zhang Julu, the first person in this dynasty, will ......"

Liu Wenbao, who sprinkled a tirade, only said that it was important to be hearty, and he wanted to sell a pass, and he was surprised to catch the audience's appetite, and he didn't want to turn his head slightly, just like splashing a big basin of cold water on his head, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World was already gone, and this temporary but carefully recommended himself was in vain.

Liu Wenbao, the lost dog, sighed, it is inevitable to be disheartened, he was born in the old Southern Tang Dynasty of a declining scholar, as Xu Weixiong said, belongs to what kind of study tour can not be out of a county of Hanshi, when he was young, he always thought about his mother and said that he was bitten by a leopard in a dream before he was born, so he was named Wenbao, and he was determined to be a marquis at a young age, but before the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Liu Wenbao was particularly conceited when he was young, so he went to Shangyin School Palace to study, so as to make a blockbuster known to the world, but I don't know how difficult it is to enter the school palace, the entanglement is exhausted, the return road is long, when the war is raging, how to return to the hometown of a poor scholarWhat kind of face do you have to return home? He swore that he would never return to his hometown without clothes, but in a blink of an eye he was an old man in his fifties, the glory and wealth were still out of reach, some of the talented and amazing students in the palace, only the age could almost be Liu Wenbao's grandson, the ambition of the old man Liu in his early years was like the river in front of him, with time, the slow flow of the East China Sea did not return, but today he met the prince of Beiliang, hoping for wealth and danger, but His Royal Highness the prince was not interested in listening to the nagging of this old student at all, but it was also reasonable, with the princely family history of His Royal Highness, if someone sold the talent in his belly to him in two catties, I am afraid that there are more than hundreds of thousands of catties over the yearsI, Liu Wenbao, am a nobody, what can I count?

Jiang Feng was not cold, Liu Wenbao reached out and rubbed the wrinkled skin like a dead tree, and muttered: "It's time to go home and take a look, even if you beg all the way, you will die in your hometown, and the fallen leaves will return to your roots." ”

Xu Weixiong saw Xu Fengnian's footsteps keep leaving, and when he arrived at the bow of the boat, he smiled softly and asked, "Don't you wonder if this old bachelor really has some hard-to-buy strategies in his stomach?"

Xu Fengnian laughed and said: "Didn't this old man surnamed Liu say that he was homesick, if I took a look at it and took it to Beiliang, he would be able to return to his hometown in the Year of the Ox?"

Xu Weixiong sighed: "Liu Wenbao's hometown has long been changed, his family has withered to seventy-seven eighty-eight, and his father, mother, wife and children have all died of war and disease, even if he goes back, no one remembers him as an old man who has been away from home for 30 years." ”

Xu Fengnian frowned and asked, "This old man has real talent and real learning?"

Xu Weixiong said indifferently: "The gentlemen in the school palace all think that Liu Wenbao is miscellaneous and not proficient, and they are not optimistic. ”

Xu Fengnian asked bluntly: "What do others think of me as lazy, sister, you just say what you think of this old man, if you think it is available, it's a big deal that I will let him go to Beiliang to eat, the most unfortunate can always get a little official with enough oil and water, it is better than being angry in Shangyin School Palace, the boss is not a small person, with his diligence just now, it is clear that he reads and reads his heart and eyes, and he believes that face or something is not so important." ”

Xu Weixiong smiled: "I'm actually not optimistic about Liu Wenbao. ”

Xu Fengnian rolled his eyes and said: "What's going on, let him honestly stay in the Yin School Palace and cool off, this son has neither the ambition to swallow the country and dominate the world, nor the hypocrisy of Corporal Lixian's daughter to buy bones, an old scholar, has not mixed up in the Shangyin School Palace for so many years, and it is a waste of rations when he arrives in Beiliang, if he gets into trouble, he may be chopped off by the soldiers and ruffians, why bother." ”

Xu Weixiong shook his head and said, "But Liu Wenbao's words are somewhat interesting. ”

Xu Fengnian sneered and said: "Even people like me who don't learn and don't know how to do it can hear that they are talking about it, Zhang Julu and Zhao Youling at every turn, or it is the first assistant Shangshu Emperor Xiangguo, so high that it can't be higher, and there is no margin than this river, just talking about these is useless." ”

Xu Weixiong, who was behind all the way just now, blinked and said: "What's interesting is that Liu Wenbao hasn't had time to put the finishing touch, but it's a pity that you are going fast, otherwise he will say that His Majesty the Emperor has been in recent years to cultivate a henchman who can be with Zhang Julu in all aspects, in fact, as Liu Wenbao guessed, it is indeed eight or nine, do you know that there are two living men in Menxia Province who are responsible for recording and supervising the emperor's words and deeds?" This position on the side of the Son of Heaven is relatively large and small, and the Yellow Gate is also noble and detached, and the two close ministers of the Son of Heaven who are about to become popular and purple, the identity is just as Liu Wenbao said The dispute between the north and the south, one is from the Wei valve, is the premier family in the north, and the other ancestor is the Dongyue Han clan, who has not been well known, only knows how to study in the Northern Shengzhang family, but according to reliable sources, this year's living man has won the emperor's trust, if the officialdom trajectory, it is very likely to be the same as Zhang Julu back then, and then a few more years, maybe it is the time for this person to turn the clouds and rain。 You must know that the secret matter of Lu Dao is that many important ministers in the court are in the dark and have not been able to see the clues, but Liu Wenbao, a scholar far away from the temple, can use history books to judge the future, which is not easy. If you don't believe it, you can call Liu Wenbao and ask. ”

Xu Fengnian waved his hand and said, "Don't, second sister, you are like a god, I didn't win you once when I was a child." ”

Xu Weixiong squinted and smiled.

Xu Fengnian immediately corrected spinelessly: "Sister!"

I didn't think that Xu Weixiong said softly: "In the future, call the second sister the second sister, don't fight with her for this." ”

Xu Fengnian didn't dare to dwell on this issue, so he accepted it when he saw it, and asked in a low voice: "Since the old man is still a little capable, what should he do with it, and throw Beiliang away?"

Xu Weixiong thought for a moment and said, "Don't be in a hurry, wait until you come back from Beimang to make a decision." If you let you come forward in person to win over you in a few words, Liu Wenbao's spirit that has been worn out for decades will have to climb to the top again. Your impatient temperament will not have a good temper to polish anyone. ”

Xu Fengnian said with a look of grievance: "Sister, this is too unreasonable. ”

Xu Weixiong changed the topic, looked directly at Xu Fengnian and said, "You want to be personal." ”

Xu Fengnian was slightly stunned, and then said, "You say." ”

Xu Weixiong smiled and played with taste: "Fish mystery." ”

Xu Fengnian's brows furrowed, "Although Yu Youwei's father is said to be a Spring and Autumn celebrity who walked out of the Shangyin School Palace, what is the use of your daughter?"

Xu Weixiong's brutal style as always, "Don't give it?"

Xu Fengnian smiled shyly: "Can you borrow you, remember to pay me back?"

Xu Weixiong said without hesitation: "It's just borrowing, otherwise what's the use of me asking you for a woman? ”

Xu Fengnian wondered: "The capital country is ruined, even if Yu Xuanji can toss what flowers in the Shangyin School Palace?"

Xu Weixiong got straight to the point and said: "If you want to catch the thousand-year-old king and 80,000-year-old turtle, you have to put some thought into the bait you gave." ”

Xu Fengnian was full of suspicion and curiosity, and couldn't help asking, "Sister, you tell me." ”

Xu Weixiong shook his head and smiled without saying a word.

Xu Fengnian immediately took out the killer idea, pulling Xu Weixiong's sleeve and playing tricks, probably because she couldn't resist the childishness of His Royal Highness in this world, Xu Weixiong said something inexplicable, "I've always wanted to play a game of chess with an old-timer, it's time to fall." ”

Xu Fengnian sighed, no longer digging into the roots, knowing that no matter how reluctant she was, she would eventually want to separate, and said helplessly: "Sister, why don't I go to the East China Sea Martial Emperor City and then visit you in the Xue Palace?"

Xu Weixiong said flatly: "No." ”

Xu Fengnian was about to speak, but she had already said to death, "This matter is not discussed." ”

Elder Xu Feng exhaled and said softly: "Then you can use this boat, it is more comfortable and lighter to take the water route than the land route, and it saves the bumps and labor, anyway, I can't use it." ”

Xu Weixiong was also polite and nodded.

Xu Fengnian went to find Yu Youwei, from beginning to end, from words to parting ways, the beautiful woman holding a white cat did not speak to His Royal Highness the Prince, Xu Fengnian went ashore and rode the white horse, looked back, and she and I don't know how many pounds of the Wu Meiniang looked at each other, Xu Fengnian sighed quietly, she couldn't see the slightest joy or sadness in her eyes, this farewell, that is, at least a few years can not be seen again, if it were not for the second sister Xu Weixiong to speak, Xu Fengnian would never let her stay in the Shangyin School Palace, it seems that her father and mother were buried there, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World traveled for three years and returned to Beiliang, if it was a few days late, she seemed to have said that she would go to the school palace to guard the tomb of her parents, and no longer set foot on the rivers and lakes。 Xu Fengnian sat on the horse, gently reined in the horse's reins, turned the horse's head, and drove the horse slowly along the road. I remember that when I was still a gentleman in the middle of the squirrel, I talked to the fish flower girl who was not a fish mystery, and she said that the word sorrow should be solved in the autumn from the heart, Xu Fengnian looked up at the sky and muttered: "It's really a good season for a belly full of bullshit nostalgia and sorrow." ”

The little insect on the shore shouted to the big boat: "Sister Yu, Sister Yu, when I grow up, I will marry you, a word is a certainty!"

The corners of Long Yuxuan's mouth, who picked up the cheap daddy, twitched, pulled back with the back collar of the little kid, jumped on a horse, and the father and son rode together, if it weren't for the child being really naughty, it would have been a very happy picture.

In addition to the father and son, His Royal Highness the Prince and Shu Xi Yang Qingfeng are both riding horses, Princess Pei of Jing'an and Nanwei Murong sisters and brothers are riding in two carriages separately, and the old sword god and the blue bird are the horsemen.

This small group traveled all the way to the northeast.

At first, in addition to seizing the time to ask the old man Qiu Li for martial arts, he would also have to take a spare time to go to the carriage and talk with Princess Pei of the caged bird, and then near the lonely city on the coast, he rode alone and began to be silent, Murong sisters and brothers originally saw the excitement of the vast and boundless ocean for the first time in their lives, and they were all consumed by it, Murong Tonghuang is okay, Murong Wuzhu is weak, and he is not good at hiding his emotions, Clear-eyed people are sure that as long as the prince jokes and promises to each other, she will be ashamed to touch it. Along the way, I always sneaked open the curtain and looked at the back more than the sea. There are thousands of injuries and illnesses in the world, emotional injuries are terminally ill, and there is no cure for heart disease. Emperor Murong Tong surprisingly did not rebuke this, and had the meaning of going with the flow.

It's here.

Looking up, you can see the towering outer wall of Emperor Wu City.

The horse is psychic, and he doesn't need Xu Fengnian to pull the rope, so he stops the horse's hooves by himself.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Beiliang did not look at the city wall, but turned his head to look at the surface of the East China Sea in a daze.

After waiting for a long time, the blue bird asked softly, "Childe, aren't we going into the city?"

Xu Feng said in a young voice: "Enter the city." ”

Lead the way.

Emperor Wu City is a lonely city independent of the dynasty, so the city gate guards here are largely just decorations, and there is no need to guide into the city, unless it is some martial artists who have violated the ban on Emperor Wu City and are not allowed to enter, they will be blocked, and the rest of them will be treated equally, whether they are peddlers and pawns or princes and ministers, they will all be treated equally, whether they walk into the city by horse, or jump or climb into the city, it doesn't matter, of course, since Wang Xianzhi served as the city lord, Emperor Wu City has never put on a battle to open the door to welcome guests, even if the Son of Heaven who ruled the Spring and Autumn Period entered the city, the second in the world has never gone out of the inner city to greet him。 Shu Xi and Yang Qingfeng are the first time to set foot in the city of Emperor Wu, Rao is the two of them are accustomed to seeing the wind and rain in the rivers and lakes, from outside the city into the shadow of the city gate hole, the heart still feels heavy and extraordinary, the world is innumerable, a hundred years, twenty years of martial arts, only this city gate, almost walked out of all the top ten masters, today standing at the head of the martial arts, Deng Tai'a who rode a donkey and carried a peach blossom branch, walked by, Cao Changqing, an official in Tsing Yi, walked by, they are all the same as the people in the rivers and lakes around Shu Yang Qingfeng at this time, to pass through this city gate, along the main road on the central axis, to face the inner city head。

There is a monster surnamed Wang, who claims to be the second in the world, and he is standing.

In the first two years, there seemed to be a Xishu swordsman named Jian Jiuhuang, who also walked with a sword box on his back, and it was the second time, but unfortunately there was no accident, but a total of two times in vain left six famous swords, and he couldn't even take his life out of the city, so he sat like that and died in the city.

Xu Fengnian dismounted and led the horse.

After walking for a while, I saw a wine stall on the side of the road, hesitated for a moment, sat down, and said to the wine stall guy, "Is there any wine?"

"Yes, yes, we sell wine, why don't we have wine, we have everything here for good wine!"

The shopkeeper with vicious eyes saw that this boy was freshly dressed and well-behaved, and he thought that a big fat sheep had come, so that the shopkeeper, who had always felt that he was unwilling to contribute only with copper coins, went to the side of the shopkeeper, and personally went into battle to sell himself and boasted about himself, trotted a few steps to the young man, and said with a flattering smile when he saw the dishes under the dish: "This son, Zhu Yeqing, Liangzhou Laojiao, Jian Nanchun, Jinling Daqu, all have them, what do you want to drink?"

Brother Gongzi smiled and said, "Where is the rice wine?"

The shopkeeper hesitated, this rice wine is there, but it can't be sold at a high price, no matter how you slaughter the fat sheep to death, you can't slaughter too much oil and water, and is trying to persuade the young people in front of you to change to those famous wines that cost more money, but Brother Gongzi just tilted his head and looked at the inner city, and said without refuting it: "It's just rice wine." ”

The wine stall owner rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Listen to the accent, this boy is from Beiliang, right? Rice wine is good, I can't hide it, our rice wine is a century-old brand in the city, although a pot of wine is twenty taels of silver, it is a little expensive, but a penny of silver is worth it! Obediently, we are honest people, and we don't say anything once in a hundred years, but once in ten years, there is no water, the old swordsman surnamed Huang and the city lord competed, and drank a lot of rice wine in our stall, and praised our wine authentically, and did not pay the twenty taels of silver in vain! This swordsman, but it is amazing, he alone accounts for six of the top ten famous swords in the world, son, you said yourself, the swordsman surnamed Huang can be weak in his ability? Alas, it's a pity that this swordsman still drinks less rice wine in our stall, as the old saying goes, drinking wine strengthens courage, hey, if you have another pot, maybe you will accidentally use the ability of the sword fairy......"

The young man just listened to the chatter of the stall owner, and did not speak.

The maid in Tsing Yi, who didn't get out of the car, pursed her lips tightly, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally didn't open her mouth to disturb the son.

The old man in sheepskin was dozing off with his eyes closed.

The young man finally spoke: "Bring me a pot of wine and two bowls." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned, but he still complied, thinking in his heart that although this boy and brother brought a lot of servants, no one sat down, what do you want two bowls?

Bringing rice wine and wine bowls, a pot of less than one tael of silver but the lion opened his mouth twenty taels of wine boss was in a very good mood, and wanted to pour wine for this generous boy brother in person, while stealing joy, he inevitably muttered in his heart that this ranger from outside is easy to fool.

The son, who had been slaughtered once, didn't seem to mind the wine money at all, and said calmly: "I'll pour the wine myself." ”

The owner of the wine stall didn't bother to put a hot face on his cold buttocks, and said happily: "We clearly remember that the old swordsman was sitting on the right hand side of the son, and it was the same table!"

Childe snorted.

Poured two bowls of rice wine, one of which was placed on the right table, both were full, took a sip of the bowl in front of him, looked up and smiled: "The old man with the sword box is missing two front teeth, right?"

The owner of the wine stall thought about it and nodded, a little apprehensive. Could it be that this Beiliang Gongzi and the kendo master surnamed Huang still don't know each other, if it is true, this twenty taels of silver that has not been covered in his hands will be fucking hot.

Childe smiled and said slowly: "Also, the old man who lacks front teeth definitely doesn't have twenty taels of silver to pay the boss to you, and if he dies, he will pour out all the copper coins, buy a bowl and a half bowl of rice wine, and save it, right?"

Although the people in Emperor Wudi City, no matter how common people are, they are born with an indescribable sense of superiority, and they are accustomed to squinting at the people who come from outside, but this sense of superiority also has a limit. Although the owner of the wine stall is an old sparrow who likes to point out the country the most on weekdays, and has seen a lot of so-called masters, it is just lip service, anyway, no one cares if he scolds and brags it, if he accidentally hits the iron plate and delays making money, it is not beautiful after all.

Fortunately, the young man didn't care about the lie with him, and drank by himself. This made the owner of the liquor stall so relieved that he no longer dared to boast, and went to stand behind the cabinet, carefully guessing where the young man was.

He stared at the long and short double knives hanging from Brother Gongzi's waist, tsk, a rare good knife.

Could it be that he is really a very talented son of the Beiliang family?

I haven't heard that there are famous Jianghu sects and martial arts families in Beiliang, since the previous generation of spear fairy king embroidery died, Beiliang has no masters at all. That poor land, the 300,000 iron horsemen in Beiliang are the most terrifying, readers, rangers or something, it is said that they are all ordinary, and no one is brilliant.

The curtains of the two carriages had been lifted, and Emperor Murong Tong and Murong Wuzhu both looked at His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, who was silent, and they only felt a little incomprehensible.

Princess Pei Nanwei of Jing'an has seen many different faces of His Royal Highness the prince, but she has never seen Xu Fengnian here and now, without saying a word, without smiling or sad, it makes people feel inexplicably worried, like a child who has made mistakes.

Child?

Pei Nanwei sneered at the corner of his mouth, can the child walk out of the reeds outside Xiangfan City alive? Can Guniu Dagang turn the world upside down? Can Zhao Danping of Longhu Mountain rush back to Tianshifu from the capital?

However, why did he set up two bowls and drink that pot of cheap rice wine?

A pot of wine, the wine pot is not big, fortunately the bowl is also small, but when it is full, it will pour five bowls, and after drinking three bowls, except for the bowl of wine on the table on the right hand, the young man will only have the last bowl left.

Bowl to bowl, still drink it all.

In the eyes of the stall owner, some young people who were gods and gods squinted, seemed to be very drunk, slightly drunk, and muttered: "Lao Huang, I was chatting with you at that time, I asked you what you mean by mastery, what are you talking about?"

"By the way, it is a master who can make the clouds of the Nine Heavens droop and the waters of the four seas are standing, you say that a guy who can have such skills is a real master, you also said that the one in Emperor Wu City, Wang Lao Monster, count the age, probably should have this ability, but you know that the old monster of the Dao Wang is about to be an immortal, so why are you still here to beg for a fight? Don't you always fucking say that we walk the rivers and lakes, and if we can't beat it, we will run, and the wind will be tight?"

I don't know when, the old man in sheepskin Qiu Li got out of the carriage, approached the wine stall, sat down directly, and scolded: "Xu boy, what nonsense, if you don't have the guts, you can get out of the egg with your tail between your legs, and even the old man will be embarrassed here?"

The wine stall was startled by the dirty old man's big grin, and wondered how the old groom, who lacked arms, did not even understand the slightest bit of humility.

What's even more strange is that the young man was not angry, but said softly: "Or else?"

The old man in sheepskin Qiu glanced at the city full of martial arts weapons in the world, and sneered: "I kindly remind you, no matter what you do, the old man promised Xu Xiao to protect you from death." ”

The boy pointed his finger at the head of the city, and a purple and black box was vaguely visible, and said with a smile: "I don't want to do anything big, with my little catty, I can't do big things, so I want to take this bowl of wine there to have a look." ”

The owner of the wine stall subconsciously rolled his eyes, this outsider is an outsider, he doesn't understand the rules at all, and he doesn't know the height of the sky, how can ordinary people go up to the city, almost the whole Jiazi time, how many people want to break into the city, and they all fall down? He has been doing business here for more than ten years, and he has also seen some so-called masters who don't know whether to live or die and want to float directly to the city, without exception, they all ended well, they all jumped into the air less than five or six zhang, and they provoked the masters of the inner city to take action, and one by one they fell to death under the wall like kites without wind, and died so much that they could no longer die. How are the sword gods Deng Tai'a and Cao Qingyi? What is the status of the rivers and lakes? It is rumored that a few years ago, when they challenged the city lord, they had to go to the martial arts building layer by layer according to the rules?

In the eyes of the stall owner, the one-armed old man smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this?"

When the young man heard this, he slowly got up, picked up the bowl of wine, turned to the blue bird and said, "You are waiting here." ”

Pei Nanwei widened her autumn eyes, unbelievable, is this guy crazy? Even a woman like her outside the rivers and lakes knows that there is a second in the world in the inner city.

On this day, on the main city road of Emperor Wu City, all the visitors to Emperor Wu City and the people in the city saw an unforgettable scene, a handsome son, walking with a bowl, and said loudly: "Wang Xianzhi, dare to ask what is the drooping clouds of the nine heavens, and what is the water of the four seas?!"

This sentence resounded with a strong internal force, resounding through half of the city.

Immediately afterwards, according to the estimation of the good deeds, there must have been at least 1,900 swords, and at the same time they were unsheathed and hung in the sky.

And this majestic and magnificent vision is due to the words of a one-armed old man who has been lonely for too many years: "Wang Xianzhi! Li Chungang has come to visit the East China Sea, and he will use this sword to fight with you!" My QT room has been opened! The official QT room number of the princes of the Beacon Opera [1655]
