Chapter 323: Chinese New Year's Eve
Zhao Chen felt that he had probably encountered a neuropathy.
Inexplicably, he came to the door and said that the knife technique he practiced was taught by his master......
And listening to his tone, it seems that even he can't be sure.
Isn't this a neuropathy?
So he turned around and walked away.
The young man didn't chase after him.
It made Zhao Chen breathe a sigh of relief, and the next day he went to the place where he practiced his sword as usual, intending to continue his penance.
Then I saw that the young man was still there.
And in the same position where he was lying at the time...... There was a little snowflake last night, and it was not wasted at all, it was all over him.
Fortunately, the snow is not too big, and it is only a thin layer, otherwise, Zhao Chen may not be able to see him.
"Why are you here again?"
Zhao Chen couldn't help but be a little annoyed.
I easily got the sword technique taught by the sword fairy, and I planned to practice it well, and the sword fairy let people spread the word, saying that this sword technique was practiced well, and it would help kill the enemy.
It's time to make a difference.
It was such a stumbling block that came out of the immortal.
Then the young man looked at him in a daze, as if he had just woken up, and then yawned at the boss, turned over and sat up:
"What's coming again? Lao Tzu didn't leave at all. ”
“…… Don't you tell me you slept here all night last night? ”
Zhao Chen asked, suddenly a little unbearable.
The clothes he was wearing were not tattered, but they were very dirty.
There are scars all over the face.
It can be seen that I have suffered a lot in the past......
On a cold day, I didn't even have a place to sleep, so I slept in this field all night.
Haven't even frozen him to death?
This head is probably frozen, right?
Thinking in his heart, he saw that the young man nodded his head.
"Why don't you go into the city and sleep?"
Zhao Chen asked again, after asking, he felt that he had asked a nonsense, if you have money, who doesn't want to go into the city to sleep in an inn?
Otherwise, if you have relatives and friends to go to, you won't be alone here.
Then the young man glanced at him:
"Lazy."
“……”
Zhao Chen was silent for a moment, and finally decided that this young man's brain was really bad.
"You're still going to practice knives today?"
The young man suddenly asked.
“…… Oh, yes. ”
"Who taught you the knife technique?"
"Didn't you say it was taught by your master?"
Zhao Chen couldn't cry or laugh, this person didn't match his words beforehand, and he forgot what he said.
Then the young man seemed to be pondering for a while, and then he said:
"Actually, I'm not sure......
"I knew I was looking for someone all along.
"Always looking, always looking...... I don't know why, I'm always one step behind him.
"When I arrived, he would go somewhere else.
"Later, I found a big house, and an old man in front of the door told me that he knew me and that I was looking for my master.
"But I don't remember that I have a master, and then he said, your master is the amazing sword Jiang Ran, and his sword skills are very powerful...... How how.
"Hey...... But when I thought about it, I couldn't remember whether this person was my master or not.
"But one thing, I do know the name, and, I can say for sure, I'm looking for this person."
Zhao Chen was stunned when he heard this.
Can you still talk about the sword fairy?
He thought for a moment and asked:
"That'...... You don't even remember, how do you say that my sword technique was taught to me by your master? ”
"The old man showed me my master's martial arts, lest I find the wrong person and be deceived again.
"There is a hidden intention in your sword moves, and you can't hide it from me."
The young man sneered:
"The old thing knows how to worry about it, I'm extremely smart, who can fool me?"
"Yes, yes, yes......"
Zhao Chen felt that it was better to follow this neurotic word first.
I always feel that what this person said seems to have something to say.
It's not made up......
In case this person is really Jiang Ran's lost apprentice, he has to help others, right?
After all, they also taught themselves knife techniques.
Thinking so, he continued to ask:
"And then?"
"Then I lived in that big house for a while, and listened to the old man tell me about my master.
Then I suddenly got impatient.
"I'm going to go to my master and ask him face to face.
"Then I inquired about him and found it...... But, as in the past, whenever I came, he was gone......
"How can this man run so well? Can't he just wait in one place and let me find him? ”
“…… This, maybe the fate of your master and apprentice has not yet arrived. ”
Zhao Chen said casually, and then asked:
"Then since you know he's not here, why don't you go and look for him?"
As he said this, he had a long list of possible reasons in his mind.
Then the young man rolled his eyes:
"I'm lazy ......"
“…… I saw it. ”
Zhao Chen felt that this person was not lazy, most likely he was really sick.
And the illness is not light......
But this made Zhao Chen entangled.
What's next?
This seems to be really the apprentice of the sword fairy, and he has received great favors, and he can't help but repay it.
But the old man of the Dao Immortal lacks nothing, and he is ambiguous with the eldest princess of the dynasty.
It's a joke to give back anything yourself.
But...... His disciple seemed to be in need of help.
Then yourself, do you want to help him find the sword fairy?
Zhao Chen had this idea in his heart, but he felt a little whimsical.
While he was pondering it, he heard the young man rub his belly and say:
"Senior brother, can you find me something to eat?"
"Huh? Bro? ”
Zhao Chen was stunned and looked around:
"Call me?"
"Of course, my master taught you sword techniques, aren't you my junior brother?"
The young man rarely showed a soft smile:
"Senior brother, senior brother, I'm hungry, can you find me something to eat."
“…… Yes. ”
Zhao Chen originally felt that he should repay Jiang Ran.
Originally, I was worried that there was no suitable way.
As a result, the door was delivered.
Wouldn't entertaining this Sword Immortal disciple by yourself be to repay Jiang Ran?
As for the junior and apprentice, the apprentice ...... Zhao Chen didn't dare to think about it.
He is self-aware.
As a small border city soldier, he is not too young, and he has long passed the best time to practice martial arts.
How could a person as high as the Sword Immortal climb high?
But it doesn't matter if you can't climb high, this sword immortal disciple likes to call, so just listen to it.
Thinking of this, he suddenly laughed.
Speed up and buy a lot of food and drink for this sword immortal disciple.
Roast chicken, roast cakes and the like.
Soon, Zhao Chen came back and saw that the young man was still in his original position......
Suddenly, he blessed his soul and asked:
"Do you have any silver on you?"
"Yes."
The young man nodded, reached out and took the roast chicken, grabbed it and nibbled it fiercely, and then took out two large ingots from his arms:
"Before leaving, the old man stuffed it into me, along with the silver ticket, sewn it into my clothes."
“……”
Zhao Chen grinned: "Then why don't you buy it yourself?" ”
The young man looked up and smiled, laughing unruly:
"Because I'm lazy ......"
Zhao Chen didn't take a breath, and glanced down at his leg that was still wrapped in bandages.
Suddenly, I felt that this young man had an abominable face.
As a result, the young man said, while eating:
"I think you're weird and reliable, otherwise, after I'm done eating, you can go with me to find the master."
"Huh?"
Zhao Chen was stunned, what did he go to do with him?
Immediately hurriedly said:
"Actually, I'm not his disciple, he just taught me a sword technique.
"We've met once......"
The young man nodded his head.
Zhao Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little disappointed.
He was actually looking forward to seeing Jiang Ran again.
If this Sword Immortal disciple kept inviting him, it would not be impossible not to help but be embarrassed.
But now that the words are clear, people estimate and know that they are a passerby.
There is no qualification to meet the sword fairy again.
Then he sat down and watched the young man eat.
He probably hadn't eaten for a few days, so he ate quickly, and in a matter of moments, only bones were left of a roast chicken.
The pancakes are all two or three bites......
Zhao Chen, who watched it, grinned:
"Take it easy, don't choke, drink some water, yes, drink some ......"
Soon, the young man was full of food and drink, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then stretched the eldest one's lazy waist:
"Let's go."
"Where are you going?"
"Find Master."
"Huh? Didn't I just say I'm not...... Eh, what are you doing? ”
"You're talking too much nonsense."
The young man came up and grabbed Zhao Chen's shoulder, Zhao Chen only felt that this person's palm was like an iron tong, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free at all.
Only then did I know that this person was really good, and he deserved to be a disciple of the Sword Immortal.
Following, Zhao Chen only felt that he was rising from the clouds.
But he was dragged by this young man and flew away directly.
After watching Jinyang Mansion get farther and farther away, he reacted, was he robbed by someone?
"You...... You'll at least wait for me to leave a message home......"
"What?"
The young man tilted his head and glanced at him:
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to listen to ......"
“……”
……
……
What happened in Jinyang Mansion, Jiang Ran naturally didn't know anything.
Their journey was much smoother than expected.
Except for the Northern Wonder Man who met him halfway, which was a little twist and turn, at other times, he didn't even see a bandit.
The eldest princess said that this was because the Golden Cicada Dynasty ruled the country well.
The people have food to eat, and there is no need to fall into the grass.
Jiang Ran could only say hehe......
Although there is a saying that if there is food to eat, who wants to be a thief?
But in fact, there are really people who like to be thieves.
If you don't have to produce, you don't have a foundation to make a living, and you can get silver by killing someone, and women, is there a better deal than this?
Under the whole world, what kind of people do not have.
But the absence of bandits along the way is a bit odd in the end.
But it doesn't hurt at all.
On the contrary, it accelerated the pace of Jiang Ran and the others, making their journey smoother and smoother.
And seeing that the New Year is about to end, they don't plan to sleep outside for the New Year.
So he simply stayed in a city called Sifang Mansion for the time being.
I chartered a courtyard in the inn, and planned to spend the New Year here.
There was no more than two or three days of delay left and right, and then we continued to set off.
If it wasn't completely dark today, Jiang Ran was pulled out of the room by a group of people.
The eldest princess said that the Sifang Mansion is the most lively before and after the New Year, the streets are full of colorful lanterns, people go out of the house, look at the lanterns, guess the lantern riddles, poetry competitions, and other activities abound.
Tang Huayi said that when she first entered the city, she heard that tonight in the rouge building in the city, there was an Oiran who had been selling his art but not his body, and he planned to start picking up customers.
High rollers from all sides wanted to spend a lot of money on the first night.
Then he said to Jiang Ran, do you want to help him buy it...... Make up for the harm done to him by the old drunkard?
Even Tang Shiqing was eager to try and wanted to go shopping on the street with Jiang Ran.
This enthusiasm was difficult to refuse, and Jiang Ran had no choice but to go out.
Leaving Li Tianyu and them to take care of the house, Jiang Ran took the eldest princess, poetic, as well as Ye Jingxue, and Chu Yunniang.
Originally, I wanted to bring Tian Miaomiao.
As a result, Tian Miaomiao was not interested in this, and said that if someone sang the opera, she would be willing to go and see it.
Wu Di was not in the inn, and Jiang Ran ignored it.
Anyway, Arida Youfang watched it silently, and there was no chaos.
A few people looked here and there, Jiang Ran was naturally a little presumptuous in this.
In front of a booth with inscription poems and gifts, he was very much a copyist.
borrowed a few masterpieces from his previous life, and the shocked Quartet stammered.
The eldest princess and the others were even more shocked when they looked at Jiang Ran.
And then there was no then.
Poetry is of little significance in this era.
is an inherent literati, good at dancing and writing, but it has nothing to do with people like Jiang Ran.
What's more, this kind of thing is harmless once in a while, and it's not interesting to copy it all the time.
Look all the way, wait for the night to fall, and the surrounding lanterns are colorful, which is really beautiful.
Jiang Ran rarely saw such a scene.
When I was a child, I was not interested, but later the old drunkard ran away from home every once in a while, and Jiang Ran was even more lazy to go out alone.
Now these thousands of fireworks have made Jiang Ran suddenly have an indescribable feeling about the world under his feet.
Especially the poetry around him, standing on both sides on the left and right, made Jiang Ran feel a little more stable in his heart.
The night was not without its slightest change.
Most notably, the Oiran in the Rouge House failed to find a single benefactor.
Because at the critical time, a good hand came.
Regardless of the reactions of the people around him, he forcibly took the Oiran away.
It is said that the man was strong in martial arts, and the old bustard of the Rouge Building sent a lot of people to chase and find ...... It all turned out to be a failure.
Some can't find it, some can't find it, and it ends up in an embarrassing end.
But this man is famous for this.
His surname is Mo, and his name is Mo Bufan.
Of course, this matter has nothing to do with Jiang Ran.
If you have to involve a little relationship, then you can only say that this rouge building is the property of the Iron Horse Alliance.
The Iron Cavalry Alliance and the Blood Knife Hall are opposed.
Jiang Ran, as the master of Xuanyuan Yidao, has an enmity with this Iron Cavalry Alliance.
He did kill a lot of iron-blooded thirteen horsemen in Jinyang Mansion at that time, including their horses and carriages, all of which were robbed of the iron-blooded thirteen horsemen.
Now this person is making this scene, in fact, he has offended the Iron Cavalry Alliance.
To some extent, he is in a similar position to Jiang Ran.
It's just that it's not interesting to say it like that.
After watching a lantern, another day will be the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
The inn is full of prosperity, and the shopkeeper is also festive.
I smiled when I saw people, and I also gave a few more dishes to the guests who stayed overnight.
The shopkeepers may have been stuffed with big red envelopes, so they were all elated.
Jiang Ran and the others naturally made up a big table, and he was pushed to the first seat, originally he was unwilling, after all, the eldest princess was still there.
As a result, it can't be shirked, so it's also so-called.
Jianghu people, pay attention to an unrestrained person.
And all the people in this line were called.
Including the prisoner Yi Canghui...... They were all dragged and found a small bench to sit at the door.
Jiang Ran raised the wine bowl, and originally wanted to say something, but Tian Miaomiao was already in the wind, and her face was full of oil.
In view of this, Jiang Ran simply didn't talk nonsense:
"Hurry up and move the chopsticks, otherwise, Tian Dasil will eat them all!!"
Everyone woke up from a dream and ate and drank one after another.
This meal is not so exquisite, and there is no hidden turmoil.
And they ate and drank with pleasure.
Jiang Ran himself really opened his belly, and the shopkeepers who drank came to explore with pale faces, for fear that they would die of drinking during the New Year.
As a result, seeing that Jiang Ran's face was as usual, and there was no abnormality at all, he began to wonder if the people under his hand had used their own silver to buy fake wine for themselves......
After a lively toss until the middle of the night, everyone dispersed happily.
This night, everyone except Jiang Ran drank too much.
Tang Huayi rarely drinks alcohol on weekdays, except for the famous wine of Qianyun Villa such as indulging in singing, he doesn't look at anything else.
Tonight is also a drink of five confusions.
Pulling Tang Shiqing is about to bow down.
Tang Shiqing watched her sister messing around, and she was helpless.
In the end, I really bowed to her.
The result is that everyone worships together.
Tang Shiqing, Ye Jingxue, Chu Yunniang, and even the eldest princess were all pulled over to join in the fun, and naturally Tian Miaomiao was indispensable.
I don't want to be born on the same day, but I want to die on the same day, the same month, the same year......
Jiang Ran let them mess around, estimating that tomorrow morning, he would basically forget about it.
Until everyone was safely sent to the guest room to rest.
Jiang Ran came to the roof alone carrying a gourd of wine:
"Go and rest, I'll keep watch tonight."
Li Tianyu glanced at Jiang Ran and didn't ask more, then nodded and turned over.
Jiang Ran smiled dumbly:
"Such a taciturn ......"
Suddenly, he turned his head and asked softly:
"Is this also the style of your Wushenglou?"
He didn't see anyone everywhere.
But a voice came out of the shadows:
"There is no life in the building, there is no life and no life, so naturally there are few words, but it makes Jiang Daxia laugh."
The voice came from the direction Jiang Ran was looking, but Jiang Ran shook his head, raised the wine gourd in his hand, and handed it to his left:
"If you celebrate the New Year, you don't want to kill people.
"Have a drink with me?"
The person who came really picked up the wine gourd in Jiang Ran's hand, and then sat beside Jiang Ran:
"Someone in Qingguo went to Wushenglou to place an order, and wanted Wushenglou to kill Shan Yuchan."
