"It's hard to say goodbye when we meet, and the east wind is powerless. The spring silkworm is dead to the end, and the wax torch turns into ashes and tears begin to dry! ”

This is a famous sentence in the Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin's "Untitled", and it is a bold sentence that will never be erased! "Shudong Six Heroes" these tireless chivalrous knights, silk, when will they be exhausted? Tears, when are they dry? Who would dare to say for sure? Probably from the following passage, we will find a satisfactory answer: when truth sheds tears, justice must shed blood; When truth laughs, evil is destroyed! However, when will we see "truth" weeping and laughing, "good" bleeding selflessly, and evil destroying? Again, this is a very puzzling question! "Vague" is best for answering such questions. Because, we have to wait until this moment comes, and we need a far, far away time and journey! The story always has to be left to its natural development, but this makes the evil cheaper and more obedient, and it is really difficult for it to be punished in a timely and fair manner, and it consumes the money and energy of those who seek the root and act chivalrous in order to defend justice!

These six tireless knights are still galloping. The journey of people in the rivers and lakes requires perseverance. However, this did not move the heavens and the earth, did not touch the mercy and gift of the "scorching sun", and did not shake the sleeping and unconscious body of the earth! "Jiao Yang" is still so arrogant and so hot! It's like the Japanese "plaster" flag in full swing! The "earth" was also scorched by the "scorching sun" for a long time and was unwilling to be there. The dry and cracked soil immediately turns into powder and dust when stepped on, and they fly "wantonly", as if they want to fly to the sky, vowing to compete with the heavens! However, everything has a gravitational pull, and it wasn't long before the "wanton flying" of this powder was restrained again, and obediently fell back to the earth, to their homeland. This should be a matter of course! As the saying goes, "Sun Wukong can't escape the palm of the Buddha", not to mention all the dust in the world?

The powder dust is obediently sucked off by the "earth"! The meager hope was to surpass the leaping horseshoe again, but it didn't come true! The twenty-four flying hooves of six fast horses are really chasing, chasing after all that they hate, so that they too are trampled under their iron hooves like "dust powder"!

The "Six Heroes of Shudong" are still driving these six horses, galloping, chasing, and competing fiercely with time and life. Suining, Suqian Luoma Lake, Huaiyin, Hongze Lake, Gaoyou Lake, and Bianyang Canal have flashed under their iron hooves.

Finally, on the evening of the second day after leaving the Xinghua Temple in Yunlong Mountain, Xuzhou, that is, on May 15, the six of them stepped on horses and came to Yangzhou City and the north gate.

For many years, the prosperity of Yangzhou, Tang Shiyan said, sometimes known as "Yang Yiyi (Chengdu) II", its economic and cultural prosperity is the first in the world! Therefore, the Huainan Palace, the capital of Wu, that is, the Huainan Liuhou, the Huainan Jiedu Envoy, the King of Hongnong, and the Wu Wangfu of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in the turbulent period are located in this Yangzhou city. And the current king of Wu is the reign of Yang Wu, the eldest son of Yang Xingmi, the king of Wu Zhongwu, that is, from 907 to 908 AD.

At this time, the six men had led their horses to the city gate.

Looking at the "Flying Dragon" Ye Jinfeng who was walking in the front, he stopped in front of a soldier by the city gate. Shrewd and inquisitive, he thought of what to do. I only heard him ask softly, "Your Excellency!" Have you seen seven girls riding horses here in the past two days? ”

"Seven girls?!" The soldier replied, "It would be nice if there were seven more!" There are only seven of our famous 'Yangzhou Eight Prostitutes' left! The seventh sister Bai Yanli, who is one in a hundred, was bought at a high price by Liu Bei Liu Xuande of Xishu two years ago! Alas! What a pity! I don't have that blessing! ”

Everyone sighed when they heard this. I thought, Liu Zhentian, the young master of Wannian Village, who is known as the "North God Leg", is really good at picking! For more than two years, it has made Yangzhou people forget that Bai Yanli for a long time! It is no wonder that Bai Yanli is not only delicate and charming, but also knows everything about martial arts, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs. Otherwise, how could Bai Yanli, who is called "Golden Fist and Jade Legs", leave such a big impact on the people of Yangzhou? It's really beautiful and picturesque, how many heroes are there at one time, and they all go with the Yiren.

At this time, Ye Jinfeng continued: "So, you haven't seen seven horseback riding girls! ”

"Oh! No! No! The soldier shook his head again and again, not understanding that Ye Jinfeng was actually asking "Qiyan Nan Tianyunfei", and said perfunctorily: "These remaining seven prostitutes never ride horses!" ”

"I see!" Ye Jinfeng nodded slightly, and then asked, "Then have you seen a horse brocade guard come to this city?" ”

"Jin Yiwei? Horseback riding? Not...... Haven't seen it! The soldier shook his head and said, "This army is in chaos, and there are many people who come in and out on horseback!" Who pays attention so carefully? Besides, I've only been on the job for a long time. Maybe they were already in the city before I came. ”

"Hmmm! ......" Ye Jinfeng pondered for a moment, and then said to him: "Thank you, Your Excellency! Let's go into town! ”

"Good! Good to go! I see you're all dandy! When you go into the city, you can have a good time with those seven famous prostitutes! Don't forget to play more for me! The soldier smiled and beckoned to the six.

"Okay! Let's go! Ye Jinfeng looked back and waved as he walked.

However, when Ye Jinfeng said this, Ouyang Qingfeng, the "iron fan boy" behind him, was a little unbreathable! He led the horse to Ye Jinfeng and whispered, "Big brother! Don't forget! In addition to the second brother and the fourth brother, the four of us are still virgins! How can we act recklessly? Don't mess around with prostitutes! ”

"Hah! Ha! Ha! Ye Jinfeng looked at Ouyang Qingfeng with a smile and said, "Brother Qingfeng! I deceived the soldier just now, but I didn't expect you to pretend not to understand, but you came to deceive me again. Do you think I'm so good at it, big brother? ”

"Big brother! That was not what I meant! Ouyang Qingfeng retorted anxiously.

"How is that not what it means? I can't hide that from the four brothers, and of course I can't hide it from you! You don't play dumb. Yekin Feng said loudly.

"Understood! Big brother, you are trying to hide yourself by joking! But ......"

Before Ouyang Qingfeng's words were finished, Ye Jinfeng interrupted him and said with a smile: "Brother Qingfeng! You can rest assured! I'm not going to lead you down the slopes! Even if we go into danger, I think that with our perseverance and ability, we will definitely get out of the mud without staining! ”

"Big brother is right! The six of us are not only the six plum blossoms of the 'Flying Plum Blossom Array', but also all of them are the lotus flowers of the gentleman in the flowers, out of the mud and not stained! What's more, there are many wildflowers on the roadside, and if you don't pick them, you won't pick them! Sun Kexing said with a smile on his face.

"I said Fifth Brother! Today, there is a princess called Wanhua in the capital, and it is said that her palace maids are all named after flowers, and they are all famous girls! It's like a Red Detachment of Women! You always use flowers as a metaphor, we don't want to become flower girls, how can we still have a manly style? Huang Shiying said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Sixth brother! You don't understand the frustration of that! Wu Tianba said to Huang Shiying.

"What? I don't understand? Huang Shiying asked in surprise, "I think I'm right!" ”

Wu Tianba listened to it and couldn't help but explain with a smile: "This plum blossom is known as the best of flowers; Lotus, known as the gentleman in flowers! Isn't this all manly manhood! ”

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but smile and nodded, secretly claiming that the second child was quite reasonable.

"Oh! Ha! Ha! Ha! Huang Shiying then laughed and said, "The second brother is reasonable! Reasonable! I didn't expect you to be a big man chasing your life, but it was an ant gnawing on the porcelain bowl - net gnawing on foreign porcelain (word)! And such a heart-eye! I really admire you! However, I heard that there are a lot of 'Yangzhou eight prostitutes' called flowers! ”

"Not bad! These eight prostitutes can also be called the eight flowers. I just listened to Ye Jinfeng answered, "Let's just say that the white Yanli that Liu Zhentian took away, she is not only known as the 'Golden Fist and Jade Legs', but also has the reputation of the 'Beauty King of Flowers' White Peony!" ”

Huang Shiying listened, and then said: "That's the reputation of the seventh sister!" Isn't the boss called the 'Overlord Flower'! ”

"Yes, the second child is called 'Jiangbei One Flower Fragrance'!" Zhang Yunhai also stepped forward and shouted.

"That's good! I'll say it again! Ye Jinfeng said with a smile as he walked, "The sixth sister calls herself 'Laughing Flower'!" ”

"The fifth sister is called the epiphany of the 'beauty under the moon'! It's the same as me, and it's just right for me! ”

Everyone listened to the witticism of "Rope Dart Sword Five" Sun Kexing, and couldn't help laughing! Unconsciously, this uproar has relieved a thousand sorrows and hatreds!

Immediately, Ouyang Qingfeng, the "Iron Fan Boy", stopped laughing and said: "If you match it according to the size of the rank, then the sixth brother will be matched with 'Smiling Flower', the fourth brother will be matched with 'Tortoiseshell Flower', I will have 'Ginseng Sanqi', the second brother will be worthy of 'One Flower Fragrance', and the eldest brother will be matched with 'Overlord Flower'!" ”

"Hah! Ha! Ha! ……”

The other five couldn't help laughing heartily, as if they had reveled in this rambling that would take away their fatigue and worries! However, Ye Jinfeng thought that it was not enough, and added: "If I am the boss, I will make a small profit, and the remaining eight sisters 'Lingbo Narcissus' will belong to me!" ”

"Hah! Ha! Ha! …… Ha! Ha! Ha! It's a laugh to death! Laugh at me! ”

The crowd laughed uninhibitedly again.

"Hmmm! Should! Should! Huang Shiying said while laughing, "Those who can work hard!" Those who can work harder! More work, more rewards! ”

However, at this time, Ye Jinfeng said in a straight voice: "Probably we men love to talk about women behind our backs!" But let's talk and do, but we must not take it seriously. Otherwise, it will lose the dignity and reputation of our 'Six Heroes of Shudong'. ”

"Big brother, don't say much! We get it! Ouyang Qingfeng also said solemnly: "The purpose of our trip to the rivers and lakes this time is to find the killer of the rivers and lakes, and we must not get into trouble." ”

"Excellent! We don't talk about them anymore, we don't go to see them! ”

After Ye Jinfeng finished speaking, he quickened his pace.

At this time, the dusk has gradually darkened, and the sunset has only left half of its outline, and its arrogance has gradually subsided, no longer so arrogant and pungent "Jiaoyang". However, what it left for this evening was still steaming and stuffy! As the saying goes, "the sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk"; "Yangzhou City in May, the weather is so stuffy!"

At this time, Ye Jinfeng and the other six people led the horse and turned right into another street.

At this moment, suddenly an old man in a long robe and a paper fan walked up to Ye Jinfeng and said, "Come! Come! Come! The six guest officers, here are proficient in face-to-face, bones, word analysis and palmistry. Phases are born from the heart, and hearts are born from each other. I see that the six are dignified and extraordinary, and I must have good luck today! Maybe it's still a peach blossom luck! Everyone, please take your seats! ”

After hearing this, the six of them looked at each other and smiled, knowing that they had met Mr. Xiangmian, and it didn't hurt to count him as a hexagram! So they left their horses on the side of the street and went to the old man's table.
