Chapter 9 Catching the Wind

"Brother Yuan, what are you looking at?"

Cheng Shifei saw that Yuan Xi turned his head to look into the distance and asked.

Yuan Xi came back to his senses,

"Huh, nothing, let's go, let's go in!"

Cheng Shifei glanced at Yuan Xi's gaze, and didn't find anything special, so he pulled Yuan Xi into the cloth village.

Lu Yiping, who slept in the study all night last night, got up early in the morning and persuaded Lu Guanju bitterly,

"Guan Guan, there is going to be a girl, seeing that she is almost at the age of leaving the cabinet, just like this, like a tomboy every day, who wants to marry you?"

Obeying his father's words, after breakfast, Lu Guanju, who had changed into women's clothes, entered the cloth village and asked for a few sets of women's clothes.

The shopkeeper of this cloth village was still a little surprised, when did the eldest lady of the general's mansion change her temperament, and hurriedly recommended a few good fabrics, and took out some ready-to-wear clothes for her to pick a style.

Lu Guanju ordered his clothes and walked out of the cloth village, ready to find his girlfriend.

But every time she came to the door, the elders in the house seemed to smile a little reluctantly.

If it weren't for the face of the General's Mansion, the big families in Pingnan City who had daughters would not be willing to Miss Lu to come to the door, for fear of bringing their daughters to ruin.

Not far from Buzhuang, Lu Guanju felt that someone was staring at her, and when she turned around, she saw Cheng Shifei from the Yunde Martial Arts Pavilion walking into Buzhuang with a young man in cloth.

Lu Guanju and Cheng know right and wrong.

Over the years, many martial arts disciples of the Yunde Martial Arts Hall have joined the army and become under the command of Lu Yiping, with the foundation of the Yunde Martial Arts Gym, it is far better than those recruits who do not have a foundation in martial arts, and it is easier to be valued by the boss, which is also one of the reasons why the business of the martial arts hall is getting better and better.

Cheng Yunde also often visited Lu Yiping, and Lu Yiping knew Cheng Yunde's details.

The top ten in the martial arts competition was also a well-known name, as for why Cheng Yunde came to Bazhou to settle down, Lu Yiping didn't ask in detail, who doesn't have a story of his own.

Sometimes they get up, and they will fight a few times.

Cheng Shi went to the Zhennan Army camp with his father, and also met Lu Guanju there. Cheng Shifei has never seen Lu Guanju wearing women's clothes, and in fact, Lu Guanju rarely wears women's clothes.

Cheng was beaten and cried by Lu Guanju, it was after Lu Guanju learned from him, and later Lu Guanju felt that it was not interesting, so he stopped talking with him.

The boy's development was late, and Lu Guanju was one year older, and Lu Guanju was more than half a head taller than Cheng right and wrong at that time.

However, Lu Guanju's attention was on the young man, she recognized that it was the young man, and wanted to go back to Buzhuang to find out, but when she thought that the crying Cheng was also there, Lu Guanju dispelled this idea, anyway, she knew that he had something to do with Cheng Xiao's crying, so she turned around and said it to her father.

In the cloth village, it is basically Cheng Cheng who is helping Yuan Xi communicate with the shopkeeper, because in Yuan Xi's eyes, those fabrics are the same, and they can't tell the good from the bad, as for the style, in his words, it's almost okay.

Cheng Shifei helped Yuan Xi order three sets, and one of them was a set of ready-to-wear clothes that Yuan Xi wore very well, so he wore it directly.

The shopkeeper didn't think much of this coarse-clothed young man at first, and if Young Master Cheng hadn't brought him in, he wouldn't have shown up.

When Yuan Xi came out in that set of clothes, the shopkeeper hated himself and slapped his face, this dress was like it was tailor-made for him, and Yuan Xi wore this set of clothes, which made the eyes of the same man shine.

"Brother Yuan, it's not that the younger brother is talking nonsense, when this dress was hung on the shelf, the younger brother actually didn't like this style too much, but as soon as you wore it, it looked so good. ”

After smiling, he turned his head to look at the shopkeeper,

"Shopkeeper, my eldest brother wears this dress, I'm afraid there are a lot of buyers for your clothes, you have to give my eldest brother a good discount." ”

The shopkeeper's eyes rolled and said with a smile,

"What Young Master Cheng said is that this young man is a dragon and phoenix, discounted, discounted, and I just hope that the young man can patronize the small shop more in the future. ”

Yuan Xi smiled,

The shopkeeper laughed. ”

After telling the shopkeeper that the clothes were ready, they were sent directly to the martial arts hall, and the two left the cloth village. And Yuan Xi had already walked out of the store wearing the new clothes, and the original coarse cloth clothes were sent to the martial arts hall together with the finished clothes at Yuan Xi's request.

Shaking his head and sighing, he is really a strange person, the shopkeeper checked the silver in his hand, smiled, and it was really a big deal.

Thinking about who that girl was and why she appeared in Pingnan City, I don't know if I can meet it again in the future, Yuan Xi, who was being accompanied by right and wrong, was a little absent-minded.

Yuan Xi thinks that this good-looking woman, whether it is men's or women's clothing, is good-looking.

Due to the reason that his interest was not high, Cheng Shifei led Yuan Xi to take a circle around Pingnan City, and then walked back, on the way back, Cheng Shifei remembered that the drunken Xianju guy had asked Brother Yuan, so he became curious,

"Brother Yuan, have you been to Pingnan City before?"

Yuan Xi looked at the lively streets, the pedestrians coming and going, and the small traders who kept shouting, which was so different from the quiet mountains and forests, and Wang Lizhuang, which only had a dozen households.

It's the same thing, everyone is busy for their livelihood.

Yuan Xi didn't know why the master took him down the mountain, but every time he came out, he stayed alone in the inn, he wouldn't go out to hang out, and the master didn't take him around, but when the master was going to the drunken immortal residence to drink, he would take him.

After Cheng Shifei asked this question, Yuan Xi answered with a smile,

"I've been here a few times, but I haven't visited much, most of them are in the inn, or accompany the master to the restaurant, and the master also likes to go to the drunken immortal residence. ”

Listening to Yuan Xi mention his master, Cheng is even more curious,

"To be able to teach such a powerful master as Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan's master must be very powerful, right?"

Speaking of his master, a wave of melancholy rose in Yuan Xi's heart, although it had only been two days since he went down the mountain, he didn't know if he would be able to see his master again in the future.

Yuan Xi knew that after he went down the mountain, the master would also leave, and as for when he would see him again, the master said that he would meet when he should meet.

Yuan Xi misses Master a little.

The world is so big, I am like a duckweed.

Packing up his thoughts, Yuan Xi and Cheng said as they walked,

"My master, he is a very powerful person, I don't just mean martial arts, in terms of martial arts, I don't know what is powerful, Cheng Shibo said that I am powerful, my master must be much more powerful than me, then he is naturally very powerful. In addition, he is also very knowledgeable, and the books he taught me to read were all dictated by him. ”

I also added in my heart that the cooking is a little worse, no, it's a lot worse.

Yuan Xi was a little ashamed in his heart, it seemed that he was too picky, he was sorry for the master if he had this thought, or what the master said was right, this person was full, and he wanted to eat better.

Hearing Yuan Xi say this, Cheng felt more and more that Yuan Xi's master was unfathomable.

The two walked and chatted as they walked back in the direction of the martial arts hall.

In the evening, Cheng Yunde led everyone to the Drunken Immortal Residence.

The private room was booked on the second floor, and Yuan Xi also came to the restaurant again in new clothes.

The guy who received the two in the morning sighed in his heart after seeing it, in the end, the real person does not show his face, even if he puts on this outfit, he doesn't have the bearing of others, but fortunately he still has some eyesight, and he didn't greet people as a small guy in the first half of the day.

When he arrived at the door of the private room, the man bent down and stretched out his hand to invite a few distinguished guests to enter.

Cheng Yunde called out cordially,

"Yuan Shi nephew, come on, come on, come into the house!"

After saying that, he was the first to enter the house.

Yuan Xi didn't think much about it, so he wanted to pull Cheng Shifei into it together, but found that Cheng Shifei was waiting, so he shouted,

"Xiao Fei, come in!"

Cheng said with a smile,

"Brother Yuan, you go first, wait for a few senior brothers to go in, I'll go in again!"

Yuan Xi didn't expect that there would be so much attention to entering the door.

However, when he was young, he no longer needed the master to carry a chair, so he waited for the master to sit down before he sat down.

Yuan Xi hesitated for a moment and said to Kong Lixiang and the others,

"Big brothers, please!"

With that, he lifted his leg and went in.

The three brothers Kong Lixiang saw that this young man was really a young man, so he didn't think about it, so he followed in. The first to get started may not necessarily have the ability, we will see at the wine table.

The dishes have been served, the wine has been prepared, and Cheng Yunde, who was sitting in the main seat, greeted Yuan Xi and motioned for him to sit on his left hand side. Then he asked Kong Lixiang to sit on his right hand.

After Yuan Xi and Kong Xianglong sat down, Cheng Shifei sat down next to Yuan Xi, Zhu Zhimang, and Zhou Xinliang sat down next to Kong Lixiang in turn.

After everyone was seated, the men who were waiting on the side ran over, poured the wine in order of seating, said a few slow uses, and closed the door.

Cheng Yunde picked up his wine glass,

"None of you here are outsiders, today, our wine is a reception wine for Yuan Shi's nephew. This first glass of wine means that our martial arts hall welcomes Yuan Xi's nephew, come, Yuan Shi's nephew!"

After Cheng Yunde raised his glass, everyone drank it all.

Kong Lixiang filled the wine for the master, and Cheng Cheng here has also helped Yuan Xi fill the wine.

"Nephew, come, eat vegetables, eat vegetables, this fish from Drunken Immortal Residence is doing well, come and taste it." ”

After speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of fish on the Yuan Xi plate.

and then gestured to the others,

"Everybody's got a try!"

After Cheng Yunde caught a chopstick fish, everyone raised their chopsticks.

Yuan Xi picked up the fish on the plate and put it in his mouth, it was a long-lost taste, worthy of being the signature dish of Drunken Xianju, when the master came for the first time, the shopkeeper recommended this dish, that was still a few years old He ate most of it, and after the mountain monks, every time he brought Yuan Xi to Zuixianju, he had to order a plate.

Yuan Xi likes to eat fish, because in the mountains, you can't eat it.

It's true that scarcity is expensive.

The birds and beasts he ate in the mountains were by no means affordable for ordinary people in this Pingnan City.

In order to ensure the quality of the meat, it is worth more money alive than dead, but it is very time-consuming to catch and transport, and even the dried game also goes to the tables of large families.

Eat like Yuan Xi, let others know, I don't know how many people are hungry?

After Yuan Xi finished eating the fish, Cheng Yunde raised his glass again,

"What about this second glass of wine, it is more meaningful, the nephew of the Yuan family is famous, young and promising, and the old man who is capable of it is also sighing to himself, and now the nephew of the Yuan family agrees to stay in the martial arts hall for the time being, serving as a chair martial artist, which is the honor of our martial arts hall. ”

After speaking, he looked at the three of them,

"Xiangli, in the future, you will help Yuan Shi's nephew here and worry more, after all, he is new to the school, how to guide the apprentice, you are more experienced than him. ”

Yuan Xi also held the wine glass and said,

"I hope the three eldest brothers will help a lot in the future. ”

Hearing that Yuan Xi was serving as a chair martial artist in the martial arts hall, Kong Xianglong was still a little surprised, he thought that with Yuan Xi's ability, if he stayed in the martial arts hall, he might be given the title of a general chair by the master, and on their heads, otherwise why would the three of them increase their commission by half?

The original chief faculty was Cao Renwei, their elder brother.

Seeing Yuan Xi raise his glass, Kong Xianglong greeted the two junior brothers, and then said with a smile,

"Since I have entered the family, I will hold a big one, Brother Yuanxi, these are all things that are within our brother's responsibility, and it should be so, I will do it first as respect. ”

The three brothers drank a glass of wine, and Yuan Xi gestured to Cheng Shibo and Cheng Shifei, and also raised his glass.

Cheng Yunde said hello twice in a row, and drank it all.

On the side, he greeted Yuan Xi to eat vegetables.

After everyone ate a few bites of food, Cheng Yunde brought up the third glass of wine,

"This third glass of wine, it should be said that it is a thank you wine, two days ago we encountered a problem in the martial arts hall, and the arrival of Yuan Shi's nephew just helped us solve this problem, so I propose, we all use this glass of wine to express our gratitude to Yuan Shi's nephew. ”

Yuan Xi hurriedly took the cup,

"Cheng Shibo, you are polite, I haven't done anything yet? Besides, it's said that it's a family, so don't be so polite, I'll do it first as a respect, thank Cheng Shibo and all the brothers for their love for me. ”

Hearing Cheng Yunde say the news, Kong Lixiang and the three of them were relieved, it seemed that the master was full of confidence in this treasure, and everyone present was in a good mood and drank the wine in the cup.

Cheng Yunde leaned sideways and whispered to Yuan Xi,

"My nephew, if you come to the door to provoke, you can still hope to stop when you make a move. ”

Yuan Xi nodded.

has not really tested Yuan Xi's skills, Cheng Yunde is not completely sure in his heart, but if the other party comes to provoke, Yuan Xi will take over, but it is the most suitable.

Kong Lixiang and the three of them will be defeated, Cheng Yunde may not be able to make a direct move, and besides, Cao He and the others are afraid that they will not give Cheng Yunde a chance to make a move.

Cheng Yunde said to Kong Lixiang and the others,

"A few of your brothers will entertain my nephew for me, after all, the teacher is old, and it is not easy to drink more. ”

said to Yuan Xi beside him,

"Nephew, at your age, you are in high spirits, so it doesn't hurt to drink more. ”

Yuan Xi remembered what the master had said,

The young man is cross-lance, and he is angry. Jin Ge Iron Horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger!

Master, what kind of story do you have, and why did you bring me to this mountain and live there for 13 years?

Yuan Xi vaguely remembered that his home was in the north, and his home seemed to be big, big.

Drinks have shortened the distance between people, and the three brothers Kong Xianglong have been familiar with Yuan Xi like brothers who have been together for a long time.

Yuan Xi's amount of alcohol also conquered everyone.

Why wasn't he drunk?

Yuan Xi himself also wanted to know, is it because they can't drink very well?

————————————

Although Bazhou and Jingzhou are currently allies, in this situation, if anyone really believes in this alliance relationship, then he will not be able to sit firmly in the position of the lord of this state.

Although the situation on the Cloud City side is not as severe as that on the Liangcheng side, it is still on the lookout.

The Chunshui City adjacent to Bazhou in Jingzhou is as vigorous as the horses, and it is just that the two states are passing as usual.

Five people and four riders, rested at the inn until the rooster crowed, and then left the small inn.

The shopkeeper was accustomed to seeing it, and after a few people left, they yawned and went back to sleep.

Leaving the inn, Chen Youdao spoke,

"Senior Brother Jiang, it is estimated that Pingnan City has been alarmed, fortunately, we are walking in front, but it is better to be careful, which way do we go from?"

Senior Brother Jiang said,

"As long as they reach the boundary of Jingzhou, they can know who did it, originally we came to Bazhou as a caravan escort, and now the mission is over, so we just need to swagger across the border. But be quick, before the people in Pingnan City get here, without further ado, let's go!"

After taking out some silver, several people left the Bazhou border smoothly.

The five people surnamed Jiang left the sect a year ago according to the instructions of the head of the sect, claiming to go down the mountain to practice, and the way to experience the experience was that the five of them went to do the business of the guards.

A group of five people, the skills are good, very popular with the caravan, a year, also successfully escorted several times, in the escort industry is famous.

Half a month ago, they came to Bazhou, and instead of going to Pingnan City, they settled in a manor in Qingyang Town.

A year ago, two mysterious people came to the division, saying that they were mysterious people, because although the five of them were descendants, they didn't know their identities.

Later, they went down the mountain according to the orders of the master, and with them down the mountain, there was one of the mysterious people, whom they called, the landlord.

According to the instructions of the master, after going down the mountain, they obeyed the orders of the landlord.

It was the landlord who brought them to this manor, and when they entered Bazhou, they were escorted by the landlord's caravan.

The task of arresting Lu Guanju this time was given by the landlord, and according to the landlord, the arrest of the characters this time was foolproof.

It's a pity that there was an accident.

Several of them went down the mountain for a year, just for this mission, the mission failed, and a few people were afraid of implicating the landlord, so they returned directly to the Jingzhou sect and apologized to the head.

When they went down the mountain, the head of the sect told the five of them that after the matter was completed, it would be impossible for the sect to become one of the nine major sects in the future.

When they arrived at the boundary of Jingzhou, several people quickly whipped up and went straight to Nanyu Mountain in Nanjun.

Zheng Shuyuan and the others rushed to Yunshang City, took Lu Yiping's letter to the general Chu Weidong, and asked him to help investigate, Chu Weidong didn't say a word, and immediately ordered.

After all, it was because the two of them went back to Pingnan City first, and then rushed here, although they rushed to Yunshang City all night, and when they returned below, the five people and four horsemen had already left the card from Anyi Town, saying that they were doing escort business.

As soon as the two heard this, they resigned from Chu Weidong and returned to Pingnan City quickly.

Chu Weidong frowned, it seemed that his Cloud City would not be peaceful.

Lu Yiping sat in the camp, listened to Zheng Shuyuan's reply, understood in his heart, and signaled the two to go to rest, he instructed Zhou Bochang to keep an eye on Miss Dian, and asked someone to spread the word about the general's mansion, and he went to Ziyang City with the guards without returning home.

No matter what identity the other party came in, it was from Jingzhou, and it had to be guarded against.

Qingyang Town, in Zhangfu Manor,

Zhang Wanguan, the old man of Zhangfu, was standing and waiting, breaking teacups on the ground.

The person sitting on the main seat opposite said to Zhang Wanguan, who didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere,

"Okay, since things have failed, let's just change the plan, as long as you don't have problems here, be cautious recently, a few things that are not enough to succeed and more than to fail, hum!"

————————————

In the western part of Bazhou, a person left Bazhou from the mountain road and arrived at the boundary of Liangzhou.

The cave in Tianyu Mountain is empty.

The mountain monk gave Zhao Qianjun a lot of money, and Zhao Qianjun saw the insistence of the mountain monk, and he did not refuse.

Once, in his eyes, the mountain dweller was far away from him, and Yuan Xi was like a child around him.

Before leaving, the master had a drink with him.

The meeting is fate, not to mention that he has known each other for so long, and he is not a cold-blooded person.

Zhao Qianjun realized that he was very tall, but he was also a human being, the same person as himself.

Drink too much, talk more, he talks about his old stories, and the masters don't feel annoyed when they listen to it.

The mountain monk asked him what kind of day he wanted to live.

He replied drunkenly,

It's good to be well-fed, warmly dressed, have a mother-in-law, have a home, and live a peaceful and stable life.

If you have a chance, you can go to Pingnan City to see, and if you have another chance, you can go to Ziyang City again, after all, it is the capital of our Bazhou.

Peaceful days, peaceful lives. Most people, this is the idea.

The mountain monk left a letter and asked Zhao Qianjun to help transfer it to Yuan Xi.
