Chapter 249: Looking for Yuan Shulang
Places like inns and taverns are the best places to inquire about news, and the three of them and one cat found a larger inn, first asked the owner for three rooms, and then went downstairs to eat something.
After asking a few juniors downstairs, no one had heard of Yuan Shulang, and the innkeeper asked Long Weiguo to go deeper into the city, saying that there were many famous people in the center of the city, and there were many people who knew things (qíng).
Long Weiguo hit a wall again and again, so he put this matter aside for the time being, anyway, he was not in a hurry to repair the soul breaking spear.
This time it was not easy to leave the palace, Long Weiguo thought about going back for a long time, he was in charge of the ministry, and he was busy with affairs in Pingli, it was rare to be as relaxed as now, he thought that when he went to Xiang'an, he would stay there for a while, and he would be able to help his disciple feed the boxer.
The master and apprentice hadn't seen each other for some time (rì).
Long Weiguo, whose mind is no longer in the imperial court, has long lost interest in those affairs in the court (qíng), and he is boring to deal with affairs in the ministry in Ping (rì), otherwise if he really wants to find Yuan Shulang, Long Weiguo can send someone here to inquire about the news first.
This time I went out, in order to relax my mind and relax my mind, as for the officials, there are several capable subordinates to help him deal with large and small affairs.
After dinner, the three of them and the cat went back to the house.
Dong Qian took a shower, changed into the newly bought clothes on the way, and fell asleep.
Long Weiguo was lying on the (chuáng), thinking about it, he didn't think about the Yuan Shulang, but pondered about the young man next door.
The flowers are warm and fragrant and the black balls are in the same room, and one person and one cat fall on the (chuáng) and fall asleep.
Speechless all night.
In the early morning of 次 (rì), three people and one cat continued to hurry.
There is a veritable general in the group to follow, really majestic, Hua Wenxiang often fantasizes about how majestic this tall middle-aged man is on the battlefield, one person on a horse, holding a silver gun, seven in and seven out, majestic.
The edge of Beichong City is almost full of ordinary people, the more you go inside, the more you can see the prosperity of the city, some luxury restaurants and inns, some noble mansions, all in sight.
Long Weiguo inquired all the way to the news, and finally learned some news about Yuan Shulang from the mouth of a restaurant owner, the restaurant owner said that this person seemed to be a blacksmith, and once opened a blacksmith shop in the center of Beichongcheng, which was very small, and then closed down because of the bad business all year round.
According to the owner of the restaurant, Yuan Shulang was an ordinary blacksmith with a mediocre reputation, and the reason why he knew about this person was when he went to visit relatives in the center of the city, and he happened to buy a few knives for the restaurant I walked to a blacksmith shop by mistake, and the blacksmith shop was called Yuan Shulang blacksmith shop, and said that here, the restaurant owner was angry, saying that this Yuan Shulang lost money and opened the shop in the center of the city, and the knives made for him were how bad and bad they were, and it was normal that the business could not go on, and the craftsmanship was not good, so no one was patronizing.
Long Weiguo was a little surprised, it stands to reason that this Yuan Shulang made ironware, it should be a ghostly workmanship, how could there be such an unbearable (qíng) situation as the restaurant owner said.
Although the restaurant owner's words were completely inconsistent with Long Weiguo's news, after all, this was also a clue, and Long Weiguo didn't want to miss it, he asked the restaurant owner about the specific location of the blacksmith shop back then, and then the group went to the center of the city.
During this period, I would also inquire about people I met, but except for the owner of the restaurant, no one had ever heard of the name Yuan Shulang, and even more so of the Yuan Shulang blacksmith shop.
Some famous blacksmiths have heard a lot.
The city center is a little far away, and it takes at least two (rì) to reach it if you follow the normal pace.
Long Weiguo no longer deliberately inquired about the news, and decided to talk about it when he was about to arrive in the center of the city.
This night, after Hei Qiu'er fell asleep, Hua Wenxiang once again asked Long Weiguo to help him feed his fist, since the last time he fed his fist in the dry forest, Hua Wenxiang had this feeling, although the whole (shēn) up and down pain was incomparable, but afterwards, since (shēn)'s physique and fist intent were effectively improved, that feeling was too wonderful, not only that, but even the forging chapter of "Chaochen Dao" once again had some eyebrows, (shēn) on each (xué) The trick seemed to be expanded, and the blood and soul qi swam in it, which was very comfortable.
Martial arts feeding boxing is indeed a good way to improve your strength.
Long Weiguo took Hua Wenxiang to an empty mountain range, which was very close to the moat with the chain bridge.
The middle-aged man fed the boxing, the young man ate the boxing, this night, the whole mountain was shaking, Hua Wenxiang ate a total of two hundred and fifty-seven punches, twenty-four punches more than the last time.
In the end, these twenty-four punches directly beat Hua Wenxiang to the point that he couldn't stand (shēn), and afterwards Long Weiguo carried him back to the inn.
This night, Hua Wenxiang stayed in Long Weiguo's room, he meditated for a night, and Long Weiguo told him about his boxing experience, and pointed out Hua Wenxiang's boxing skills and punching skills.
Every word of the boxing master Long Weiguo made Hua Wenxiang enlightened, but he said that he couldn't help Hua Wenxiang feed the boxer for a short time, because feeding the boxing was too frequent, and it would only cause the phenomenon that things would be reversed.
In the early morning of 次 (rì), Hua Wenxiang dragged the heavy (shēn) son and the crowd to hurry, and since the current rush is an ordinary hike, Hua Wenxiang can completely keep up with the pace of the team.
In a tavern, someone finally heard of Yuan Shulang, the old shopkeeper of the restaurant just thought the name was familiar at first, and then thought about it for a long time before remembering it.
The old shopkeeper said that Yuan Shulang had drunk with him before, and at that time he took the initiative to talk to him and please him, and later the old shopkeeper knew the intention of this Yuan Shulang, it turned out that he had no money in his trouser pocket and wanted to drink for nothing.
The old shopkeeper saw that he was pitiful, so he didn't embarrass him, but just asked him to write an IOU, and then pay it back when he got rich, but he didn't know that now that several years have passed, this person still hasn't come here to repay the money, and after a long time, the old shopkeeper has forgotten about it.
The old shopkeeper was talking to everyone, and he found an IOU from the counter drawer, which was left by Yuan Shulang back then.
Long Weiguo asked for the IOU from the old shopkeeper, and the latter also said that if he found this person, he would give him a message, saying that people's hearts are all (ròu) long, and it doesn't matter if you drink for nothing or anything, but don't deceive people anymore.
When the old shopkeeper was deceived, he was very chilling.
Long Weiguo returned the amount of silver to the old shopkeeper according to the amount of money on the IOU, saying that he knew Yuan Shulang and helped him repay the restaurant money, but the old shopkeeper did not accept it, saying that so many years have passed, and there is no need to collect these taels of silver.
After that, the three of them and one cat left the tavern and continued to walk towards the center of the city, hoping that Yuan Shulang did not leave Beichongcheng.
