Liyang Post Road, centered on Tai'an City of Beijing, is a well-deserved official road, once praised as the blood of the country by the Yamen of the Veterans Department, and the prosperous dynasty of the Central Plains is compared to a land immortal who has no ancients and no one after him, and the majesty of the essence and blood can be described as the crown of ancient and modern.

Liangzhou Qingma Post because it has been close to the state city, set up in the downtown of a prosperous town, because it is the only place to enter and exit Liangzhou City, not only the post house is quite large, but also has the only amusement garden among the many post houses in Beiliang Road, the post man is as many as 70 people, and there is also a light cavalry-based garrison stationed nearby all the year round, it is said that the personal guard of the young vassal king is from the white horse, and half of the soldiers in the early years are from this cavalry army, and the combat power should not be underestimated, for example, Hong Shuwen, a madman who has now ascended to the sky step by step in the Beiliang Army, was born in this inconspicuous army。

Li Gongde, who has always firmly maintained the first position of the civil officials of Beiliang in these years, stayed in the Qingma Post in his early years, splashed ink wherever he was interested, and left a "unique cave" ink treasure, but I don't know whether it is because the post house is too cherished, or the relationship between the four words is too "iron painting silver hook", so many years have not been framed and hung. Bei'an Town, where Qingmayi is located, is also an unusually prosperous place in all directions, Lingzhou has always had the reputation of Saiwai Jiangnan, and Bei'an Town is known as Xiaolingzhou, which shows the difference of this big town in Liangzhou, in recent years, with the strong rise of the young feudal king, Bei'an Town has more and more news of the Central Plains grass, fish and dragons are mixed, and they pour into Beiliangjiang Lake together, and over time, the local residents of Bei'an Town are also accustomed to it.

As one of the few places in Liangzhou town that does not have a night ban, Bei'an Town is a veritable gold cave, just like the two adjacent restaurants and green buildings, which jointly played "If you don't go to the two floors, you will come to Beiliang in vain" and "the world's first flower wine" The two gold-lettered signboards, the tone is very big, the restaurant said that it has all the best wine in the world, not losing the tribute of the imperial court, and the Qinglou claims to be their girl, not losing the emperor's draft palace maid, many people who do not believe in evil in the countryside have climbed the stairs with the mentality of smashing the field, and the result is almost without exception, they are all vertically in and out horizontally, and they have drunk themselves down, or lie on the bed of the little lady, so that the two floors of Bei'an Town are more and more famous, resounding through the North Liang Road and the two Huai Road, especially a Qinglou Oiran and the scholar who studied in the Qinglu Cave Academy went to Liang Shi Zi eloped The farce, it stands to reason that the Qinglou who should be furious not only beat the mandarin ducks, but took the initiative to burn the deed of sale of the Oiran woman, and the restaurant even funded the reader to buy 100 volumes of books with 1,000 taels of silver. If you dare to say a good word or two for Bei Liang three or four years ago, I am afraid that no matter how virtuous and respected this famous man in the literary world is, he will become a rat crossing the street, and he will be pointed out by thousands of people along with his family, but now, although there are few echoes, absolutely no one will take it seriously.

By the time the three python eunuchs returned to Bei'an Town from the small ferry of the Longju River, it was already dark at night, and the Qingmayi had to send more than 20 Jinggi elite horsemen to ride out of the town to meet them, once they could not find a trace, the Qingmayi would definitely skip the local government and directly notify the garrison twenty miles away, after all, this group of eunuchs symbolizing the face of the Liyang Zhao family. Liu Gonggong and his entourage, who walked into Bei'an Town, were already hungry, so they passed by the restaurant that was particularly crowded, smelling the wine and not afraid of the strong smell of wine in the deep alley, it was inevitable that they were a little moved, Liu Gonggong felt that he couldn't bear the two colleagues who were tired like dogs, so he smiled and said that everyone went to the restaurant to fight the tooth sacrifice, the tall and awe-inspiring Ma Gonggong was more cautious, although he did not refuse, it was still recommended that it was best to go back to Qingmayi to change into ordinary clothes, and the bloated body but could be in the palace as light as a swallow and a flying walk Song Gonggong wanted to say a little bit of something, could there be an assassin under the nose of this Beiliang PalaceIt's just that since Gonggong Liu, the "big shopkeeper" of the Seal Ribbon Supervisor, nodded, this Gonggong Song, who had not been very happy since he arrived under the jurisdiction of Beiliang Dao, could only quietly swallow his words back to his stomach.

After returning to Qingma Station to wash and change clothes, the three big eunuchs were only accompanied by the commander of the Imperial Forest Army surnamed Qian, and the four of them walked into the restaurant called "Restaurant" together, because next door is the most prestigious Golan in Bei'an Town, and you can vaguely hear those soft and lucid temptations of Yingge and laughter, which makes Gonggong Liu laugh dumbly for no reason. The restaurant has three floors, although it is late at night, the lobby on the first floor is still overcrowded, and there are not many seats left on the second floor. ”

Ma Gonggong, who had changed his clothes and looked more like a big man outside the gates, looked around, and was quite satisfied, compared to the two floors below, it was much quieter and more elegant, squinting and nodded.

Father-in-law Liu said to the young man in the restaurant who had a cotton towel on his shoulder: "Jizhou Laojiao, Jiangnan apricot blossom brewing, ripe flower wine, two pots each, as for the dishes and dim sum, you can watch the restaurant." ”

The young man smiled, hunched his waist and patted his horse: " This old man is really a connoisseur, deserves the title of wine fairy, ordinary guests to our restaurant, it is not false to make a generous shot, but most of them choose Xishu Gong wine Jiannan spring burnt to drink, in the small view that the wine is good, on the mellow aftertaste is actually not as good as the ripe flowers, on the throat burning, it is far inferior to our Beiliang authentic green ants, by the way, the four masters, the small one has a mouth, our restaurant has an unwritten rule, here, as long as the guest officer wants to drink green ant wine, no money will be charged, and you can drink as much as you want!"

Gonggong Song asked curiously: "Even if you drink ten jars and eight altars, you don't need money? Are you really afraid of drinking poor in your restaurant? And if someone comes to your restaurant and only drinks green ant wine, do you still have this rule?"

As soon as this stubble was mentioned, the young man who was originally flattering and bent down suddenly said proudly: "Count, why don't you count!" The person who came is a guest, our shopkeeper has already spoken, and the good man who is willing to drink and can drink our Beiliang green ant wine, it is nothing to drink his livelihood, so he should make friends with the heroes, and the shopkeeper has specially set a rule for this, who wants to be able to drink six pots of the signature green ant wine of the building in one go, not to mention that the silver for a table of banquets is free, just want to go to the building next door to sleep for one night, and our restaurant will also help pay for it!"

Gonggong Liu smiled and said: "It's really rare to see such a restaurant that is open for business, and it's a bit interesting." ”

Father-in-law Song smiled, holding on to the antique comfortable chair edge with both hands, and looked at the sharp-toothed young guy, "It seems that although your shopkeeper is full of copper smell, he is not a layman, and our family is ...... Today, the master is in a good mood, so I will give you a side to the shopkeeper, and let him come to toast a glass of wine to this old man next to me, and tell you the truth, this face, if you miss it, you will not be able to get it in this life. ”

The young man listened to the fat man's full mouth of the Central Plains official tone, and the shelf he put on was really bigger than the county guard, in fact, he was slandered in his heart, but his face did not show the slightest, and he begged for mercy: " This master, I'm really sorry, our big shopkeeper is not a character in our Bei'an Town, even the small one has not seen a glance, not coincidentally, the second shopkeeper in charge, just in the next place there is a table that can't be pushed off, but a few masters relaxed, just rush to the six pots of wine you ordered, as long as the second shopkeeper returned to the restaurant, the small one immediately went to him to inform him, how not to let the second shopkeeper miss the four masters. ”

Gonggong Song, who couldn't be satisfied with the casualness, already looked a little unhappy, and was about to have a seizure, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Gonggong Liu taking out a quick amount of silver from his money bag, and did not throw it directly to the restaurant guy like ordinary high-rollers, but put it on the table, slowly pushed it forward, and said with a smile: "Don't be too little for you." ”

The young man has the best impression of the old man sitting in the main seat, just like a rich man with kind eyebrows, and like an elderly scholar who came out of the scholarly door, and is kind to everyone.

The young man hesitated for a moment, and then heard the burly middle-aged man who had been silent before say in a cold voice: "If you want to take it, you will accept it." ”

When the young man carefully put away the silver and left, Gonggong Liu asked in a low voice, "How?"

Commander Qian, who was well-known in the Imperial Forest Army of Tai'an City and the Yamen of the Criminal Department, said softly: "There is nothing unusual, all the way through, the guys in this restaurant are ordinary people who have never practiced martial arts, but there are a few tables on the third floor...... It's not easy. ”

Gonggong Liu smiled indifferently: "Thinking about the worst, this place is only half a stick of incense away from the Qingma Station, and the cavalry is even more fleeting when the horse comes, not to mention that I believe that the Beiliang spy who is secretly watching will not be some useless decorations, let's drink ours, don't be careful." ”

The cautious Father-in-law Ma was still a little worried, and Father-in-law Song, whose heart was wider than the sky, was already shouting: "Drink and drink!" Brother Qian, you want to taste the ripe flower wine in our hometown later, that kind of taste, I, but I have been thinking about it for half my life!"

The six pots of good wine that are well-known in the government and the opposition were quickly brought up, and the young man who won the silver reward even took it upon himself to carry two more jars of high-grade green ant wine with the restaurant.

Compared with the light palm print eunuch Liu Gonggong and the head of the Song Gonggong who is not careful, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army who has walked through the rivers and lakes has to be more careful, after all, he has the safety of the three seal and ribbon prison bosses on his shoulders, to say small, any old eunuch who is qualified to wear a python suit has a mistake, then his officialdom in Tai'an City will come to an end. So it seems to be a temporary drink, the leader who has a royal royal golden knife hanging from his waist, has been watching and listening to all sides, such as after ascending to the third floor, although there are screens on all sides of each private room to cover the sight, but there is still enough gap between the screens, the two tables near the stairs, not surprisingly, look at the ordinary wine guests, the banquet is full of dust and smell of young beauties to accompany, obviously to the next door Qinglou invited to the hook bar woman, and their table left and right and opposite, three table guests, but the hidden dragon crouching tiger, palm print Liu Gonggong left hand side of the table across the Shu embroidery screen, sitting four people, everyone has a long breath, a young woman is outstanding, especially the middle-aged man who always touched the handle of the knife with one hand when he raised his glass and drank on the other side of the table, his temperament was majestic, even if he was just a glimpse at that time, the knife man who turned his back to him at that time also had a subtle response in an instant, although he did not turn around or draw the knife, but the hand under the table obviously changed from rubbing the handle of the knife to holding it with five fingers, so the commander of the money simply gave up the scrutiny of the other two men in case of extraneous branches.

And the table on the right hand side of the jade mountain and sea chart screen, six men and three women, with a huge age difference and different weapons, are generously placed on the table or hung on the wooden frame, like a group of several alliance sects in the rivers and lakes, most of them are to accumulate prestige and experience for the young children in the sect, which is not uncommon in the Central Plains, and there are many gossips about the rivers and lakes between the words。

What really made him feel tricky was the table opposite Grandpa Liu, which is why Commander Qian chose to sit opposite Grandpa Liu, across two screens, twenty steps away, there were middle-aged men and women sitting on the wine table with the appearance of a couple, the man had a battlefield atmosphere that Commander Qian was familiar with, and only saw a woman with a gloomy side face, her posture was mediocre, but the momentum was extremely cold and fierce, and the reckless aura she exuded invisibly was completely different from the masters of ordinary Jianghu sects。

The wine was half-drunk, and two groups of people went upstairs almost at the same time, and it was no coincidence that the first group arrived first, it was those young heroines and women who flew over the small ferry of the Longju River, but for some reason everyone looked complicated, both awe and excitement, as if they had seen a ghost during the day, and the strange thing was that these young people had also changed their clothes, and they had to bathe and change their clothes when they drank wine? Although he knew that it would be difficult for him to enter the first-grade King Kong realm in this life, among the second-grade junior grandmasters, especially in the face of those Jianghu martial arts masters outside the battlefield, he did not dare to say that he was invincible in the same realm in the world, but as long as he caught and killed, he was very confident that the person who survived would only be himself. You must know that back then, even Gu Jiantang, who was the well-deserved number one sword master in the world, had admired the sword skills of him, the little captain of the Imperial Forest Army, if he hadn't been promoted to deputy commander by the imperial court at that time, maybe he would have followed Gu Dazhuguo to Liangliao to return to the border battlefield.

As for the second group of people, three men and two women, the young man led by a young man who can't wait for everyone in the world to know is a young man in the world, and he can't get into the eyes of the commander of money, but the next four people, one by one, made him feel frightened, the blind woman next to the "young man", hugged the piano, and the middle-aged man with the sword box behind her was extremely heavy, but this was still under the premise that he had deliberately suppressed! Behind him, the husband and wife look like men and women walking side by side, the young woman is extremely eye-catching, the body is plump and enchanting, and wearing colorful tie-dyed clothes, both hands and feet are tied with a string of small and delicate silver bells, the bell comes first, and there is a snow-white arc-shaped short knife with a scabbard hanging crookedly on the waist, and the Qian commander with a very high vision can see at a glance that this is clearly the Miao costume in the 100,000 mountains in the southwest, and she just grabbed the arms of the five short-figure men around her, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of undisguised smugness, as if she was the world's first-class hero, and under her background, the originally inconspicuous middle-aged man also seemed to stand out from the crowd, wearing a linen cardigan, his head wrapped in blue, and his calves are wrapped in white leggings.

Wave after wave of unevenness, the heart that Commander Qian had already hung in his throat almost blurted out on the spot.

Less than half a glass of wine, another starry young woman came to the second floor, followed by four figures of servant status.

Commander Qian's face turned pale after retracting his gaze, what kind of woman can afford to hire four top masters who are also the most disadvantaged and second-grade little grandmasters to serve as offerings?

As a result, a small restaurant has become a situation where there are as many masters as roadside dogs.

Rao is the commander of Qian, who is used to seeing strong winds and waves, and he also began to sweat profusely.

Liu Gongliang asked quietly, "Is there trouble?"

Commander Qian smiled bitterly: "Not necessarily, but as long as there is a conflict, it must be a big trouble to break the sky." Maybe an emergency transfer of one or two thousand horsemen will not be able to settle it. ”

Gonggong Liu waved his hand and smiled, "As long as this is Beiliang, it's enough." ”

At that moment, Commander Qian really looked at this eunuch who was in charge of the seal seal.

And outside the restaurant where the gathering of fish and dragons caused the clouds to be treacherous, a young man with a knife and a horse suddenly stopped on the street.

His stop, so that the old bustard who was soliciting customers at the door of the Qinglou saw his appearance clearly, and his eyes immediately lit up, and the two girls beside her were even more eager to eat the hungry tiger and pounce on the sheep, and devoured the down-and-out handsome brother who was still rolling up his sleeves and straightened the Fa on the spot.

The stunned young man didn't seem to hear what the old bustard was saying, and let her grab her arm and drag her to the green building.

He just remembered that many years ago, he and Li Hanlin Yan Chi gathered Kong Zhenrong and the three of them to drink flower wine together, at that time, it was always Li Hanlin who paid for the silver stolen from his father, who was recognized as an iron rooster in Beiliang officialdom, and every time he was in a posture of rushing to the execution ground the next day after he was happy tonight. At that time, Yan Chiji, who was nicknamed Yan Chicken, always couldn't let go of his hands and feet, no matter how red and green he was, it seemed like he was being rubbed with oil from beginning to end. As soon as he entered the door, he put down the mantra: Which girl in the building has not been able to pick up customers for the longest time, I will order her! So every time Kong Wuzhi is there, the wine table must be an absurd scene where the most beautiful woman and the ugliest woman in a green building appear at the same time.

The young man finally came back to his senses and asked with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince drinks flower wine, can you not give money?"

The old bustard, whose chest was trembling, replied happily: "This prince really likes to tell jokes, even if the prince comes, he has to give silver!"

Brother Gongzi, who had been dragged a few steps, stopped, still leading the horse with one hand, and said with a bitter face: "Then I won't enter the building." ”

The old Qinglou woman glared at her charmingly, "Childe is not honest, dare to wear this kind of knife and walk on the street at this time, will there be no silver?" I can promise Childe first, even if I don't have a copper plate on my body, it's okay, I owe it!"

At the critical moment when the young boy seemed to be at war between heaven and man, a man who was not amazing suddenly appeared beside them, tried his best to hide the excitement in his words, and lowered his voice and said: "Second-class room, land number sixteen, there is something important to report." ”

The young man nodded, silently broke free of the arms of the three Qinglou women, smiled apologetically at them, and then led the horse forward.

The young man turned his head to look at the elite spy in the water room with hot eyes, "Is there an emergency?"

The latter said in a deep voice: "I just found out that someone was trying to assassinate the three eunuchs of the Seal Ribbon Prison, if it wasn't for the whereabouts of the prince, and the subordinates temporarily claimed it, at this time, the subordinates should have used the secret talisman of the Qingma Post to mobilize the garrison into the city." ”

Speaking of this, the spy, who was already considered to be a good status in the Beiliang Water Room, bowed his head and said, "Please forgive the prince!"

The young man joked and said: "It is worthy of coming out of the water room, and it is a virtue with Chu Lushan, what kind of crime is asked, it is almost the same as asking for merit." ”

The spies in the water room who was in charge of the intelligence of Bei'an Town were obviously a little overwhelmed, and after losing their minds slightly, they hurriedly reported the situation in detail to the young man who was leading the horse in an orderly manner.

The young man was the young vassal king Xu Fengnian, and after hearing this, he nodded, "You don't have to meddle in this matter in the future, this king will handle it himself." ”

Just as the spy was about to take the order and turn away, Xu Fengnian said in a deep voice: "It's hard work." ”

The spy in the water room was stunned, and stopped talking, but in the end he still didn't speak, grinned, and then left silently.

Xu Fengnian led the horse and slowly walked to the restaurant.
