Walk around the flower boat
Du Ruonan's shot was extremely generous, Li Ying's group of people followed Du Ruonan all the way south, ate the best food, lived in the best inn, Li Ying has been darts for so many years, this is also the first time, everyone knows how to stay overnight, the itinerary is not fast, it seems that they are not in a hurry, so they have walked on the road for half a month, and they have arrived in Jinling City.
Outside Jinling City, there is a dock fort, covering an area of hundreds of acres, this is the destination of Li Ying and his party, to the gate, Du Ruonan and He Qingling got off the carriage, and an old man who looked like a housekeeper who had been waiting at the door for a long time stepped forward and said with a smile: "Miss, how do you feel about playing with Miss Du?"
The name of the woman holding the flute in the green is He Qingling, she is the eldest lady of this He Jiazhuang, He Qingling's father He Datong, a judge of life and death pen is quite famous in the rivers and lakes, he has worked hard all his life, and he likes to have a daughter in his old age, he loves it very much, and he is named Qingling, which is this woman!
The housekeeper Old Man He said a word to He Qingling, and then said to Du Ruonan with a smile: "Miss Du, the guest room you want has been prepared for you, and I will arrange for someone to lead the way for you!"
Du Ruonan nodded with a smile and said, "In this way, there will be Uncle Lao He!" After speaking, he said to the people who were sitting on the horse around him: "You follow the people of He Mansion, go to your own room, and have a good rest!"
He Mansion is very large, of course, there are many guest rooms, Li Ying and his party followed the family of He Mansion, each to their own room, Li Ying sat at the table, quietly in a daze.
The knock on the door sounded, Li Ying was a little helpless, he didn't have to guess to know who this person was, and sure enough, a gong-like voice sounded outside the door: "Brother Li Ying, are you in the room? Open the door!"
Li Ying opened the door, and sure enough, she saw a chubby, bearded, and a pair of big axes behind his back, about forty years old, holding a jar of wine in his left hand and a package in his right hand, and the smell of meat came out of the package. When he saw Li Ying, a pair of big eyes like copper bells, he instantly narrowed into a slit, and said with a smile: "I just went to the kitchen to find it, it smells so fragrant, I remembered you, come on, let's have a drink." ”
As he spoke, without waiting for Li Ying to answer, he had already entered the door, put the wine and roast chicken in his hand on the table, and then sat on the stool, turned around and beckoned: "Brother Li Ying, come, drink one!"
This person's name is Zhang Yide, just like Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide in the Three Kingdoms, he is five big and three thick, but it is a pair of plate axes handed down by the family, and the power is extremely great, and few people can take his three axes. He is an outlier in Li Ying's group, and others don't know if it's natural or for other reasons, so they are reluctant to communicate with the people next to him, only this Zhang Yide likes to chat with people with that gong-like voice, and because Li Ying will occasionally respond to him with a few words, he is even cited by him as a lifelong confidant, so he will come to Li Ying for a drink whenever he is free.
Today is still no exception, he did not wait for Li Ying to sit down, he had already poured two bowls of wine, drank a big sip, then tore a big chicken leg, chewed it up, and then picked up the wine bowl again, and took another sip, a bowl of wine had been drunk by him, he had chicken in his mouth, and muttered: "Li Ying, hurry up, hurry up and pour me wine!" After speaking, but without waiting for Li Ying's action, he had already picked up the wine he had poured for Li Ying, and drank it all again, and then tore a large mouthful of chicken thigh, and shouted: " Good wine, good wine!"
Li Ying returned to the table, picked up the wine jar, refilled the two empty wine bowls with wine, looked at Zhang Yide, who was squinting and smiling at him in front of him, raised the wine bowl, and said, "Come on, another bowl, it's done!"
Wine, always drink more and more, there have been several empty wine jars thrown on the table, Zhang Yide is already drunk, he is lying on the table, holding a wine jar in his hand, and finally muttered to himself: "Xiaoqin, don't go!"
Li Ying sighed, no one was sad, he walked out of the room, it was already full of stars outside, what to do in Jinling, Du Ruonan has not said it so far, this is her style in itself, when she should do something, she will naturally tell you, otherwise, if you ask, she will not say, and no one dares to ask.
A faint singing, floating with the night breeze from time to time, this is the singing on the flower boat of the Qinhuai River, Li Ying touched the money bag, and there was a little silver tael, go and have a look, drink two glasses of wine!
He looked back at Zhang Yide, who was lying on the table and snoring like thunder, and was a little disdainful of his infatuation in his heart, so he didn't call him, he led the horse alone and ran towards the Qinhuai River. After walking for half an hour, the number of pedestrians gradually increased, including martial arts people with swords in their hands, scholars and literati with lupine scarves, and rich families covered in silk outside the courtyard, all walking towards the flower boats moored on the shore.
On the flower boats, women with heavy makeup are scratching their heads, greeting passers-by, pulling business, and from time to time some people are taken a fancy and pulled into the boat by men.
"The smoke cage is cold and the moon is long and sandy, the night is close to the restaurant, the merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, and the garden flower is still singing after the river is crossed!" Li Ying walked on the shore, looking at such a lively scene, and couldn't help sighing, "With such a beautiful scenery, how can a man not forget the country!"
The sword has been unsheathed, the throat is already in front of him, as beautiful as mutton fat white jade, without a trace of flaws, coupled with wide apricot eyes, slightly open red lips, and a face that can be broken by blowing, Li Ying stopped the sword stiffly, and the person in front of him was He Qingling, who was walking with him for half a month. At this time, she was dressed in pale cyan clothes, with a folding fan in her hand, and she was looking at Li Ying with a disgraced face, and she didn't dare to move.
Li Ying put away her sword, looked at He Qingling, and said, "Miss He, are you here alone?"
He Qingling came back from the fright and said coquettishly: "You, you just wanted to say hello to you, did you treat me like this?"
Li Ying smiled embarrassedly, this can't blame him, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows the rules, and they won't greet people behind their backs, because walking in the rivers and lakes, everyone has enemies, and when they go out, especially when they are alone, they are all vigilant enough to the surroundings, like this case, they all choose to shoot directly, but He Qingling obviously doesn't know this truth, so this thrilling scene appeared, and Li Ying has not cultivated internal strength, so there will be no sword qi, otherwise, with the injury of sword qi alone, He Qingling's life is already not guaranteed。
Li Ying saw that she was dressed in men's clothes, but she was coquettish, even more cute and cute, and said with a smile: "I apologize to Miss He!"
He Qingling's eyes rolled and said: "The apology must be sincere, so let's do it, if you invite me to drink, I will accept your apology!"
Li Ying already knew that she must have sneaked out when she saw He Qingling's outfit, and he also had a good impression of this lively and lovely girl, and said with a smile: "Okay, no problem, let's go find a tavern, and I'll accompany Miss He to have two drinks today!"
He Qingling rolled his eyelids, looked Li Ying up and down, and said, "When you get to the Qinhuai River, how can you go to a tavern to drink? If you want to drink, we will go to the flower boat to drink!" As he spoke, he took Li Ying's hand and walked towards a very lively large flower boat.
He Qingling was obviously very familiar with this place, she waved her hand, and the flower boat rowed towards the two of them, and a woman about twenty-seven or eighteen years old on the boat was already standing in the bow of the boat, dressed in pale yellow clothes, and her person was like a chrysanthemum. She waited for He Qingling and the two to get on the boat, and smiled gently at He Qingling: "He Gongzi, you are here, you haven't been here for a long time recently!"
He Qingling grinned around the woman's waist, deliberately said in a rough voice, pretending to be rude: "I have something recently, I have been out for a while, little lady, what, I miss my grandfather, my uncle will accompany you well tonight!" 's lewd laughter, it's a pity that she was already born delicate and moving, and now although it is a picture of a son's brother's plan, she is still like Fu powder, her skin is like clotted fat, and she pretends to be rude, but the eyes of the women on the boat have begun to glow, and the light is like seeing a cute little rabbit.
"Isn't she just a rabbit?" Li Ying thought to herself.
The woman in yellow rolled her eyes, glanced at Li Ying, who was following behind He Qingling, and said with a smile: "He Gongzi, is this your friend?"
He Qingling didn't reply and said: "This is the person who came to invite me to drink tonight, and he will pay all my expenses tonight!"
Li Ying's face was a little dark, he was not a person who loved to save money, this flower boat was a lot of money at first glance, I don't know how many taels of silver I had left in my hand after tonight.
The dishes have been served, the wine has been warmed, the warblers and Yanyan, there are warm nephrites everywhere, He Qingling actually called eight girls, plus the woman in yellow, a total of nine, she sat in the middle, surrounded by a group of girls, this handed the wine, that passed the food, He Qingling was so busy that he had long forgotten Li Ying.
Li Ying sat quietly on the side, drinking, eating, and secretly thinking about how much money this trip would cost.
"How's it going, isn't it itchy in your heart?" A voice sounded in Li Ying's mind, it was Li Shijiu's voice.
Li Ying sneered and said, "Do you think that my two years have been in vain? The daily blood sword sharpens my heart, and one of my hearts has already been sharpened into steel, and when my sword heart is completed, my skill will definitely improve!"
"Where did you learn the strange method, isn't our Blood Sword Technique bad?" Li Shijiu asked suspiciously.
Li Ying said lightly: "In this world, there are gains and losses, there are losses and gains, there has never been a good thing that a pie falls from the sky, the blood sword technique, the power is great, and the cultivation is simple, but who knows what hidden dangers there will be, such as you, I don't know when you came out!
"Hey, it's really strange, I don't know that much about your mind, and the exercises you have figured out are really strange!" Li Shijiu muttered, as if he had found a fun toy, and said, "No, I must break your sword heart!"
Li Ying smiled slightly, raised his glass and took a sip of wine, this mental method was originally created by him by combining the Nine Transformations Refining Body Dafa and the Blood Sword Technique, these two exercises are unique in the development of the body, Li Ying had a whim one day after studying, and wanted to temper the sword heart with these two exercises. Where is Kenshin, has he ever done such a thing, Li Ying doesn't know, everything is his own groping, and he has never mentioned it to anyone, this is his biggest secret. Today's words made him more confident in his thoughts, and Li Nineteen's attack on his sword heart was even more of his sharpening of his sword heart. Others couldn't find the existence of the sword heart, and even Li Ying himself could only have a vague feeling now, but Li Shijiu could easily detect it, because he himself was also a similar existence to the sword heart, and even more powerful than Li Ying's sword heart.
A qualified bustard will not let a guest be left out in the cold, the woman in yellow is a qualified bustard, so she held a wine glass, smiled gently, and walked towards Li Ying, Li Ying really smelled the fragrance of chrysanthemums, people are as light as chrysanthemums, she raised her glass: "If you are a cup of respect!"
Li Ying raised her glass, also smiled faintly, drank it all, and then looked at He Qingling next to her, she was already drunk. She lay on the table, her mouth still humming, shouting things like "drink" and "one more drink!", and she really couldn't lift her head anymore. The woman next to her really seemed to have been accustomed to He Qingling's appearance, and carried He Qingling to a room together, and then never came out.
He said with a smile: "Gongzi He often comes, most of the time he won't leave tonight, I don't know which girl Gongzi has fallen in love with, if so, I can arrange it for you!"
The sharpening of the sword heart is to temper the human mind as pure as a sword, and the various passions brought by life are indeed cut off from the beginning. Li Ying's sword heart has just become formed, but it is almost the same as the palace, and he will no longer have any thoughts about the desire of men and women! Li Ying wanted to go back, but when she thought about it, He Qingling had come with her, although she often came here, but it was not appropriate to leave her here alone, so he smiled and said: "Thank you, but only Miss Lao can find me a room! As for the rest, forget it, the money on me is only enough to pay the bill to Gongzi He!"
He was stunned for a moment and said, "In this case, please come with me!"
