Chapter 18: Drinking and talking about youth
Tonglu County Taishou Zhang Tangyun is also a person who is full of reputation in the court, and once served as an official in the position of the secretary of the Sanpin Rite Department, and was demoted to the left and moved to Tonglu County as a Taishou.
There are a lot of cats in this, some people say that Zhang Tangyun is the protΓ©gΓ© of Guo Zichuan, the secretary of the court, and the queen mother intends to reduce Guo Lu's strength before degrading Zhang Tangyun. Another theory is that Zhang Tangyun was too upright and upright, and he was degraded only after offending the royal nobles.
No matter what kind of statement it is, no one doubts Zhang Tangyun's personality and loyalty to the southern country, and he can be regarded as a depressed scholar.
Zhang Tangyun knows Yun Fan, in fact, he has a list of bad people dormant in Tonglu County, it stands to reason that this is not a matter that Taishou can touch, and it is better than his mentor Guo Zichuan.
In Zhang's mansion, Zhang Tangyun ordered to retreat left and right, and asked straight to the point, "Why did there be two blood-stained long streets in Tonglu County in one day, and I hope this adult can give an explanation." β
Yun Fan didn't say anything, just drank tea, pointed at Ji Jiu with his finger and said, "He killed everyone, don't ask me, I just acted on orders to protect him, if you want to take someone, arrest him first." β
Ji Jiu raised his eyes to look at Zhang Tangyun, who was tired of books, and asked, "Lord Zhang, have there been any new recruits in the house in the past two months?"
"No, why is this?" Zhang Tangyun was completely stunned, although he had read the sage books, he could be a mess of people, and now he was a little confused by Ji Jiu's question.
Ji Jiu sighed and told Zhang Tangyun the ins and outs of the matter, and said in a slightly apologetic tone: "Just now Yun Fan and I were also testing the adults, I am afraid that the adults will be tempted by the Jinyi Guards to betray the southern kingdom with the promise of high-ranking officials and Houlu, but now it seems that the adults don't know how Tonglu County hid so many Jinyi Guards." β
Zhang Tangyun's face turned red slightly, and he said three good words in a row: "I really deserve to be a hero and a young man, I Zhang can't see the true face of the sword fairy in this life, and I have no regrets to see his personal disciples." β
Ji Jiu was a little embarrassed to be praised, Yun Fan glanced at him and said, "Jinyi Wei is here to kill him, after Tonglu County, I will go to Jiangyun in the future, I am afraid that the road ahead is mostly tigers, leopards and jackals, I heard that Xie Jiulian, a disciple of Jianyulou, has been a guest here recently, can you ......?"
The Sword Rain Tower stands tall and towering in Jiangnan Road, and it is far away from the Northern Falling Immortal Sword Pond, which is the first sword sect in the Southern Kingdom, and its sect master Ye Liu'er has reached the top grade of the Dust Realm, which is only one step away from the Immortal Realm.
The disciples cultivated by Jianyulou are all respected, and wherever they go, the local county magistrates will hold banquets and entertain them.
Zhang Tangyun knew what Yun Fan meant, nodded and said, "Then I'll go and ask Mr. Xie, and the two of you will wait here." β
It didn't take long for Zhang Tangyun to walk in with a handsome man, who looked two or three years older than Ji Jiu, and his cultivation was more sophisticated.
He looked at Ji Jiu with a tentative look in his eyes, Ji Jiu didn't know why he looked back, the former suddenly took out his sword without warning, and stabbed straight into the past without a sword move.
Ji Jiu didn't draw his sword, his true qi was condensed in his palm, and he reached out and grabbed the three-foot Qing Feng and said with a smile: "Why tempt, Mr. Xie can't believe me?"
Yun Fan's unkind right hand held the hilt of the knife, he always remembered that his task was to protect Ji Jiu, and if he had something, he would be guilty of dereliction of duty.
"In case some charlatan is not worthy of my escort, the sword intent is long, and the true qi is eternal. β
Xie Jiulian gently put away his sword and continued, "Master was instructed by the Sword Immortal when he was young, and told us that these disciples, if the Sword Immortal really accepted disciples, he would definitely befriend him, just now he was just a little curious and offended. β
Ji Jiu is not a calculating person, and it stands to reason that Xie Jiulian should be the first pure Jianghu person he met when he entered the rivers and lakes, and his curiosity is greater than everything.
That night, Ji Jiu and Yun Fan stayed in Zhang's Mansion, and Zhang Tangyun specially transferred the Tonglu County garrison to patrol back and forth to ensure safety.
Ji Jiu was finally able to lie on the bed and sleep well with peace of mind, but he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and he had left Qingshan Town for less than half a month, and so much had happened. I originally thought that the first time I killed someone would be a painful choice, but who knew that it was that simple, when people encountered danger, they would really leave everything behind.
Ji Jiu untied the jade pendant on his waist, and the cold hand made him a little intoxicated.
When she becomes famous in the rivers and lakes, the fairy sister will definitely hear her deeds, and then go to see her and tell her about it.
When Ji Jiu was still immersed in beautiful fantasies, the door was pushed open by Yun Fan, who walked lightly like a burglar.
"What are you doing in the middle of the night? Ji Jiu asked impatiently.
Yun Fan unceremoniously punched Ji Jiu's head, "Let me ask you, have you ever drunk?"
Ji Jiu nodded blankly and shook his head, the master didn't let him drink, and he didn't take it seriously because he wasn't addicted to alcohol.
"I'll show you the world if you haven't drunk wine, just now Xie Jiulian came to me and said that he had a few jars of good wine. He's gone to prepare side dishes, let me call you. β
Ji Jiu was a little resistant in his heart, Yun Fanna was also a ** lake, and he had a trick of fooling people, so he poked him with his elbow and continued to tempt, "Haven't you always wanted to be a complete Jianghu person, let me ask you, don't Jianghu people drink alcohol? Take your master as an example, that is wine never leaves your hand, you can't be bad as an apprentice, right?"
"Don't you just drink, I can't drink you yet, let's go!"
The two trotted all the way to a pavilion, Xie Jiulian was pouring wine, and it seemed that the person picked up a glass of wine and said, "This cup of wine is right for me to honor the two." β
Ji Jiu didn't hesitate to pick up a glass of wine and drink it up, it hurt so much in his throat that he couldn't drink if it was a good wine, anyway, one cup after another, the two of them in front of him became distorted and blurred.
Yun Fan's face was slightly red, he raised his glass and smiled, "Come again, keep drinking!"
Ji Jiu was confused, raised his glass, and muttered, "Drink, if I don't drink you, I won't be surnamed Ji!"
There was not a drop left of the three jars of wine, and Xie Jiulian sat down and knocked on the edge of the bowl with chopsticks, humming an out-of-tune tune in his mouth.
"The young man has nine out of eight, and he wants to wear a weak crown. I often dream of drunken moon and dawn of the river, and the blue sky dominates the river and the water! Although he is confused, he dares to borrow two taels of wine from the heavens, and he knows that people are mediocre, and he dare not agree with ............"
Ji Jiu grinned stupidly, and didn't forget to cheer, "Okay...... Good...... I'm toasting you, and when it's time for my fairy sister's big day, I'm going to let you sing this, I love to hear it!"
Yun Fan threw a peanut at him, "Return your fairy sister, she is the small lord of the northern country, with the current posture of the north and the south, can you really marry?"
Ji Jiu stood up when he heard this, picked up the sword on the table and said loudly, "Yes...... Why not, Master said that this sword in his hand is the truth!"
Xie Jiulian laughed and echoed, "If you really want to break into the Northern Palace, count me Xie as a certain one!"
Three teenagers who have not yet shined, in this good season of spring, drink and talk happily and indulge wantonly.
