Chapter 322: Sixteen Words for Governing the City
On the top of the city.
Three people, three jars of wine.
Standing, sitting, or lying.
Standing is Li Chengcheng, he is always solemn, even if he eats stewed and boiled, he can eat a fairy spirit.
Sitting is Zhao Lanjiang, only in front of these two brothers can he show his true self.
Lying down is naturally Xiao Jinyan, and his casual temper can naturally save a point of effort.
There is wine but no meat.
If you drink alcohol, if you eat meat, what's the fun?
In the hidden sun in February, the spring cold is steep, but fortunately, the three of them have martial arts, but they don't feel cold. Xiao Jinyan looked at the city of Yinyang, halfway up the moon and the lights were bright, compared with the previous curfew at night, it was like two cities.
Xiao Jinyan said with emotion, "If I remember correctly, the three of us haven't drunk like this for a long time. ”
Zhao Lanjiang said, "I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities in the future." ”
Xiao Jinyan asked why, Zhao Lanjiang said, "Li Chengcheng is going back to Jiangnan, and he has not improved his martial arts, so he has to go back to inherit his million-dollar family property." ”
Xiao Jinyan smiled, "I'm willing to exchange with him." In my opinion, he wants to find our little master, right?"
"Fart. Li Chengcheng suddenly said something, he has always spoken elegantly, and said a dirty word, which made the two of them feel a little funny. "This year is a big festival in the clan. ”
Xiao Jinyan heard him say that the Li family in Jinling worships their ancestors once every ten years, and the Li family in Jinling scattered all over the world will return to the clan to participate in the sacrifice, and the scene is indeed grand enough. A few years ago, he heard that Li Xiaohua was going to pass on the position of head of the family to Li Tingcheng, and he went back this time, I'm afraid it was also for this matter. Xiao Jinyan thought to himself.
Before you know it, the wine has bottomed out.
Zhao Lanjiang went to the city and took three jars of red water wine, and the three of them chatted while drinking, from the situation of the rivers and lakes to the political situation of the Three Kingdoms, when it came to the battle of Hengduan Mountain, Xiao Jinyan said, "Zhao Lanjiang, you are now very famous in Western Chu, and it is said that you are three heads and six arms, with long fangs on your face, shaped like a demon, and the name of the Golden Sword King can stop the baby's night cry in Western Chu." ”
Zhao Lanjiang laughed, "If there is a chance, I would like to go to Xijing for a while, is it really as you said." ”
"I'm afraid that someone will be so scared that I can't sleep at night. ”
Speaking of rivers and lakes, talking about rivers and lakes, naturally the book sword mountain is indispensable.
When Xiao Jinyan said that in the Western Chu Imperial Palace, the sword cultivator of Shujian Mountain killed 2,000 people with one sword, Zhao Lanjiang and Li Chengcheng gasped.
"No real anger?"
"Nope. ”
"Only with a sword?"
"A sword. ”
Li Chengcheng was excited when he heard this, and said, "What kind of fucking swordsmanship is this, let me kill more than a dozen people with one sword, and I can still do it, two thousand people, unless I practice a sword in Allure." ”
Xiao Jinyan said, "I thought you would be discouraged by this." ”
Li Qingcheng said proudly, "If others can do it, I can naturally do it." Back then, my ancestor's Alluring Sword could kill the Sword Immortal. ”
"Five hundred years ago, when the world was full of luck, sword immortals, grandmasters, and scattered immortals outside the three realms came out one after another, but unfortunately once that mountain came, this kind of beautiful scenery of rivers and lakes was unseen in the world. ”
Li Chengcheng looked at the two of them and said, "Martial arts practice, the road is long, and I will seek it up and down." A sword cultivation into the rivers and lakes, it will disturb the rivers and lakes upside down, in the future we will be a martial arts master, we will definitely go to Shujian Mountain, let them see the martial arts of our world. ”
Zhao Lanjiang said with a smile, "This sentence is very Li Chengcheng. ”
"I only seek martial arts all my life, and I am not interested in any family inheritance, this time Jiangnan worships my ancestors, I am ready to go back and explain this matter to my father, and then take the little master to travel to the rivers and lakes to practice martial arts. ”
Xiao Jinyan muttered, "If you're not interested, why don't you let it go to me?"
Li Chengcheng glanced at him and said, "If you married my sister back then, maybe there would be talk about this matter, but now that you have Miss Yuwen, I'm afraid there will be no fun." ”
Zhao Lanjiang wanted to speak and stopped.
Li Chengcheng asked, "How?"
Zhao Baojiang said, "I heard from the people in the Ghost Fan Tower, Li Jinghong is afraid that he has gone to Shujian Mountain. ”
Li Chengcheng said, "She can do this kind of thing, I am a sword idiot, she is even worse than me, otherwise I would not have left Lao Xiao behind." ”
Xiao Jinyan sighed with emotion.
When he saw Jinghong in Qiantang that year, he remembered Li Jinghong, and later traveled to the West Lake together, Li Jinghong was like a fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world, he loved it, but it was a little ethereal.
This feeling is different from being with Yuwenshuang.
Yu Wenshuang is a real, real person. She will have a temper, a love and hate, a joy, a sorrow, a resource, and sometimes a coquettish.
That's life.
It was not easy for the two to come together, and he cherished this life. As long as he is with Yu Wenshuang, even if he gives him the martial arts alliance master, the dean of Dengwen, and the city lord of Hidden Sun, he will not take a second look.
It's just that now that Yu Wenshuang has become a wanted criminal, where can there be room in the world?
Zhao Lanjiang said seriously, "Old Xiao, you stay." As soon as Li Chengcheng left, I was alone in Yinyang City, and I didn't even have an opponent, which was very boring. Don't worry, as long as I am in Hidden Yang City for a day, no one in the world will dare to touch a single hair of Miss Yuwen. ”
Li Chengcheng poured cold water and said, "Now that you are the city lord of Yinyang, hundreds of thousands of people in the city rely on you for protection, if you really offend the imperial court and shield the Qin criminals, are you not afraid of being implicated?"
Zhao Lanjiang was full of wine, stood up, and said, "A man walks the world and stands up to the sky, he is also afraid, he is also afraid, what kind of bird strength is there in life? It is better to find a deep mountain and old forest, and end his life!"
"Well said!" Li Chengcheng said, "Do a jar!"
Zhao Lanjiang had the worst amount of alcohol, and he was already drunk, he stood at the head of Yinyang City, unbuttoned his pants and peed on the city tower, Li Chengcheng scolded with a smile, "You city lord is not behaving well!"
"Lao Tzu protects the safety of the hidden yang side, and pees to declare his territory, is it still wrong?"
There was a sound of footsteps from the city, and someone scolded, "Who is so bold that they dare to run to the head of Hidden Yang City in the middle of the night to pee, is it really impatient to live?"
As soon as the words fell, five or six officers and soldiers came to the top of the city with swords, and were about to arrest people, when they suddenly saw Zhao Lanjiang and said in amazement, "City lord?"
Zhao Lanjiang was slightly drunk, "What's wrong?"
"Someone peeing on the head of the city is disrespectful to me, and I am about to come up and catch someone. ”
Zhao Lanjiang pointed at Li Chengcheng and said, "The eldest husband does things alone, and you catch him." ”
Li Qingcheng said disdainfully, "Before you say this, remember to lift your pants first." ”
The gatekeeper looked embarrassed.
Zhao Lanjiang said, "What did I do, what's wrong?"
Said to put both hands on the thumb and praised, "The so-called spring rain is as expensive as oil, and the city lord will have a good harvest this year as soon as he soak in urine, wonderful!"
Zhao Lanjiang said, "Stop." ”
The guard came back abruptly and said with a smile: "What does the city lord command?" ”
Zhao Lanjiang said, "If anyone talks about this matter, Lao Tzu will punish you to pick up dung!"
The guard smiled, "I didn't come up tonight, I don't remember anything." ”
Zhao Lanjiang nodded, "Get out." ”
......
When Xiao Jinyan woke up, he had a splitting headache. Yu Wenshuang brought a bowl of honey water and fed him for the afternoon, she hummed a small tune, obviously in a good mood.
"So happy?"
Yu Wenshuang smiled, "After you came back last night, this girl was very satisfied with what you said." ”
"Last night?"
Xiao Jinyan covered his head, last night he remembered drinking with Zhao Lanjiang, and the three of them drank two jars of wine in a row, and then they didn't remember anything, as for how to go back to the City Lord's Mansion, they had no memory at all.
"What did I say last night?"
Yu Wenshuang smiled and said, "Why don't I help you recall your memories?"
Li Tingcheng vomited in the courtyard, and his luck forced the alcohol out of his body last night, and when he saw Xiao Jinyan and Zhao Lanjiang coming to the courtyard with an embarrassed look, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Lanjiang asked, "How did you come back last night?"
Li Chengcheng shook his head, "I don't remember either." ”
Zhao Lanjiang asked the gatekeeper Yicong about this, and the Yicong told them that at the fifth watch last night, the city gate guard Li Dahai sent them back in a carriage, and when they came, the three of them were already drunk, and they were still shouting to find wine to drink, or Yang Xiaoxiao placed them down.
Zhao Lanjiang knocked his head, "Fortunately, no one is plotting against him, otherwise it would be a shame if someone killed him in Hidden Yang City." ”
Li Chengcheng sighed, "Drink less in the future, anyway, I broke last night." ”
Xiao Jinyan smiled bitterly, "The fragment is not terrible, the terrible thing is that early the next morning, there are still people to help you recall." ”
Zhao Lanjiang thought so.
After breakfast, Chai Gongwang and Li Xianzhong were already waiting in the conference hall, since Zhao Lanjiang spared Chai Gongwang's life, Chai Gongwang changed his temperament, and Li Xianzhong helped him deal with the specific affairs of the city lord's mansion.
Zhao Lanjiang only needs to control the money, food and people, and then meet with foreign guests to decide the general direction of Yinyang City, but he is not a laborer.
It's just that today's things are a little special, now that the son has been born for the twelfth day, according to the custom of Yinyang, he wants to put wine, in addition to the twenty cities of Yinyang, neighboring states and counties, as well as all the major factions on the rivers and lakes, also came to congratulate. Even the expeditionary army, which is inconvenient to come forward, has already sent posts and gifts in advance.
Chai Gongwang will arrange tomorrow's banquet properly, this is a major event in Yinyang City, Zhao Lanjiang chartered a street in Qinglongfang, full of benches and long tables, no matter the people, rich gentry, dignitaries, and knights, there are no table seats, spread a red carpet, and come to the city to have fun.
"The banquet of the little master of heaven, the list of those who have submitted the worship post has been sorted out, please take a look at the city lord. ”
Tianci is the name given by Li Chengcheng to Zhao Lanjiang's son.
Originally, Li Chengcheng insisted on calling Zhao Fugui, Yang Xiaoxiao put a kitchen knife on his neck, and he held it for a long time before he thought of this name.
The posts of the visit were piled up, Zhao Lanjiang couldn't look at them one by one, he looked at the list, saw the column of rivers and lakes, and felt strange, "How come the eight major sects are here?"
Yinyang City is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, even if they can get from the capital quickly, it will take a month at the earliest, and Zhao Tianci is only twelve days old, they either happen to be nearby, or they leave two months early, which is not very reasonable.
It is true that he is the lord of Yinyang City, but he has no sect, no inheritance, and he can't rank his seniority in the rivers and lakes, and the major sects that came this time are either the heads of the sects or the elder level, the most unfortunate, and they are also the top three disciples under the sect.
There are also black and white, four big dart games, and some gangs that have not even heard of their names, which are also on the list of worship posts, he asked Chai Gongwang, "So many people?"
Chai Gongwang smiled and said, "The young master of heaven celebrates his birthday, but you took out a million taels of silver, such a big hand, who doesn't come over after hearing it?"
Zhao Lanjiang said, "It's not real money." ”
Chai Gongwang smiled, "The city lord knows, but they don't know? ”
Zhao Lanjiang laughed, "Our City Lord's Mansion, how much treasury silver do we have now?"
Chai Gongwang took out the abacus, knocked it out, and said, "After holding this banquet, and then counting the gifts sent by everyone, when the final payment is settled, there will be eighty-five taels and three dollars and five cents left." ”
Zhao Lanjiang glared, "You didn't deduct it from it, did you?"
"How can you?"
"Huh?"
Chai Gongwang finally explained, "Actually, there are still eighty-five taels and seven dollars and five cents left, and I wanted to leave four dollars of silver and go back to buy some wine to drink." ”
Zhao Lanjiang looked sad, "Yinyang, there is no money." Lao Chai, you have a shrewd brain, help me think of a way?"
Chai Gong said, "There is a way, but I'm afraid that the city lord won't agree." ”
"Tell me about it. ”
Chai Gongwang thought for a moment and said, "It's sixteen words, Wangmei quenches thirst, paints cakes to satisfy hunger, lifts the city into debt, and repays the long-term loan." ”
