Li Xuandu escorted Pei Zhou and his party to Lanling Mansion, and in addition to chatting with the old man about the general trend of the world along the way, he was more often entangled by the little guy named Pei Yu.

Although Pei Yu was born in a scholarly family such as the Pei family, because of the early death of his parents, Pei Zhou, as his grandfather, was busy with yamen affairs, so it was inevitable that he neglected to discipline him, so that he did not use his mind on the sage classics, but used them in the words of the rivers and lakes, especially yearning for the heroes of the rivers and lakes.

This time Li Xuandu shot to repel Qingluanwei, in the eyes of the little guy, it is undoubtedly a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, punishing the eagle dogs of the court, completely forgetting that he is also a child of the official family of the imperial court, and he reveres Li Xuandu so much that he always wants Li Xuandu to teach him a trick and a half, and even moved the mind of following Li Xuandu to walk the rivers and lakes together.

Lao Jianghu's eyes are full of desire, chasing fame and fortune, wanting invincible magic skills in the world, wanting magic weapons, wanting to become famous in a fight, and wanting money and beauty. On the contrary, the children's rivers and lakes are more pure, their eyes are full of hope, yearning for chivalry and righteousness, yearning for coming and going like the wind, yearning for unevenness, and yearning for an equally pure confidant.

Li Xuandu likes the rivers and lakes of young people and young people, just like a small stream, the water of the stream is clear, and you can clearly see the smooth pebbles at the bottom of the stream. Li Xuandu doesn't like the rivers and lakes of the old rivers and lakes very much, just like a big river, the river is turbid, the mud and sand are all down, or like a big lake, the lake is green, and you can't see the bottom of it at a glance.

On this day, the convoy came to the pass at the junction of Lanling Mansion and Pingyuan Mansion, this place is called Linzao Pass, relying on the mountain to build the city, located in the key point of the passage of the two provinces, although it is now in the midst of war, but there are still not a few businessmen coming and going, but compared with the usual years, there are many more soldiers and killing.

There is a Taiping Inn opened by the Taiping Sect in the city, but there is no Taiping Money Village. Generally speaking, Taiping Qianzhuang is only in the prosperous city and the state city, but the Taiping Inn is different, since the Taiping Sect closed the mountain, in Luzhou and Qizhou, the Taiping Inn is like blooming everywhere, but according to the location, some inns have Taiping Sect masters personally sitting, and some inns are just ordinary Taiping Sect disciples are responsible for taking care of it.

When Li Xuandu walked the rivers and lakes, he had never heard of the name of the Taiping Inn, so he was sure that the Taiping Inn was only established after the Taiping Sect closed the mountain and closed the temple, as for the profound meaning of the Taiping Sect's move, it is not for Li Xuan to know.

Now it seems that the reputation of the Taiping Inn is not bad, even if it is an official figure like Pei Zhou, he is willing to settle here, although Li Xuandu's impression of the Taiping Inn is really not good, but it is not easy to force it, so he can only follow the customs of the villagers.

As soon as he settled down, Pei Yu ran to Li Xuandu's room, still holding a string of sugar gourds bought when he entered the city, red fruits, slightly yellowed rock sugar, sweet and sour, and a child's favorite snack to eat.

Since these days, the two have become acquainted, and there is nothing formal or informal, Pei Yu raised the sugar gourd in his hand to Li Xuandu's eyes, and said arrogantly: "Brother Li, I will exchange this string of sugar gourds for you for one move, okay?"

Li Xuandu deliberately kept a straight face and joked: "If you want to learn from a teacher with a string of sugar gourds, then you can't help but look down on Li too much, at least ten strings of sugar gourds." ”

Pei Yu wrinkled his face: "But I only have the money for a string of sugar gourds." ”

Li Xuandu raised his eyebrows: "The dignified son of the Pei family, just this bit of silver? When I was your age, I had this amount of money every month." ”

After saying that, Li Xuandu stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Pei Yu.

Pei Yu asked tentatively, "A tael of silver?"

Li Xuandu shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Ten taels of silver?"

"Guess bigger. ”

"It can't be a hundred taels of silver, right?"

"The number of one hundred, yes, but it's not silver, it's peace money. ”

Pei Yu's eyes widened: "A hundred...... Taiping money?"

As a child of the official family, Pei Yu certainly knows what Taiping money is, the official exchange price of Taiping Money Village is that a Taiping coin can be exchanged for 30 taels of silver, but it costs about 31 taels to exchange silver for Taiping money.

Even if it is calculated according to 30 taels of silver, 100 Taiping coins are still 3,000 taels of silver, or 36,000 taels of silver a year! According to the regulations, a prince of the Great Wei Dynasty provided 50,000 stones of rice, 25,000 yuan of banknotes, 40 horses of brocade, 300 horses of silk, 500 horses of silk, 1,000 pieces of lea, 1,000 pieces of winter cloth, and 1,000 pieces of summer cloth. If you calculate it carefully, a prince's annual salary is nothing more than that.

Although Pei Yu doesn't like to read very much, he was born in the family of an official eunuch, and he still knows a little about these things, and he can't help but say: "Brother Li, you tell the truth, are you not surnamed Li?"

Li Xuandu was stunned and asked, "What do you say?"

Pei Yu said in a deep voice: "Actually, I should call you Brother Qian, that Qian family in Jinling, Jiangnan, right?"

Li Xuandu laughed dumbly, and said angrily: "What you say is unreasonable, only the Qian family can be rich?

Pei Yu shrunk his neck: "I didn't say that." ”

Li Xuandu sighed: "But that was all in the past, there is no such good thing now, and I am just like you, poor and empty." ”

Pei Yu sighed angrily, and then asked, "By the way, Brother Li, do you have a weapon?"

Saying that, Pei Yu also made a "Night Battle Bafang Hidden Knife Style" that he learned from somewhere, and said: "For example, a sword or a sword, even if there is no sword, hidden weapons and flying knives are fine, and when you walk the rivers and lakes, you can't do without weapons to defend yourself." ”

Li Xuandu said: "That's really unfortunate, I practice fist and foot kung fu, my hands are two doors, and I rely on my feet to beat people." ”

Pei Yu pursed his lips: "Liar." ”

Young people don't know how to hide their emotions, let alone the word "city", so it's hard to hide their disappointment.

Li Xuandu smiled and took out the "cold beauty" that had not been used for many days from the "eighteenth floor".

As the name suggests, the "cold beauty" knife is only the quality of the lower grade in the treasure, but the appearance is excellent, the snow-white knife body seems to be made of ice and snow, only in terms of appearance, "cold beauty" is much higher than the "world".

Li Xuandu took the sugar gourd and nailed it to the table, and then threw the "cold beauty" with the scabbard to Pei Yu.

This knife looked very light in Li Xuandu's hands, but in fact it was still very weighty, and Pei Yu, a powerless scholar, had to catch it with both hands, and his eyes were full of joy that could not be concealed.

Then Pei Yu tried to pull out the knife in vain, but unfortunately he couldn't pull it out after a few strokes.

Li Xuandu said with a smile: "I can't even pull out a knife and I want to walk the rivers and lakes, and if I spread it, I will be laughed off." ”

The boy's face flushed.

Li Xuandu stretched out his hand.

Pei Yu was a little reluctant to put the "cold beauty" into Li Xuandu's hands.

Li Xuandu held the handle of the knife with his right hand, held down the scabbard with his left hand, and pulled it out slightly, and the knife came out three inches, filling the room.

Pei Yu stared at the knife with wide eyes.

Since he was a child, he has seen a lot of swords, but unfortunately they are all swords used by literati, they are just decorations, they cannot be used to kill enemies, they will not be unsheathed once in many years, and even some swords have never been bladed. But the real killing knife, but it was the first time he had seen it, just by seeing the three-foot blade, he faintly felt a chill, and even smelled blood, as if he also heard the killing sound of Bingge.

Li Xuandu continued to draw the knife, pulled the entire blade out of the scabbard, put the scabbard aside, and then knocked a finger on the blade, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, and the cold light of the blade rippled layer by layer, sparkling.

Li Xuandu held the "cold beauty" upside down and handed the handle of the knife to Pei Yu.

Pei Yu held the handle of the knife with both hands and raised the knife staggeringly, his face full of surprise that could not be concealed.

Li Xuandu sighed lightly: "The hatred of the country and the family is still unsettled, and the treasure knife in the sheath roars from time to time. ”

Why is there a special "sword commentary" on the rivers and lakes? Because in many cases, a single sword overturned the world.

Pei Yu used all his strength to hold up the "cold beauty", imagining that he was already a peerless swordsman.

Li Xuandu pulled out the sugar gourd nailed to the table, bit down a hawthorn, chewed it carefully, and clicked.

The rivers and lakes in the hearts of young people are like this string of sugar gourds. When I grew up, the rivers and lakes were still the same rivers and lakes, and the sugar gourds were still the strings of sugar gourds, but they no longer had the original taste.

Li Xuandu held up the string of sugar gourds.

If you want to buy osmanthus and carry wine, it is not the same as a teenager.
