Chapter Seven: Ambition and Pride, Heroes Are Hard to Find a Source (1)
Time flies, time flies, ten cold and summer in a hurry, but it passes quietly with a flick of a finger.
In the past few years, the situation in the court has been turbulent, the rivers and lakes have become increasingly chaotic, and heroes like willows can only sigh with the wind.
Although the Green Willow Villa was full of guests as in the past, and the sound of laughter and scolding came from time to time, Liu Suifeng, who was already in his sixtieth year, gradually stopped caring about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and handed over everything to his eldest son Liu Hanfeng.
Liu Hanfeng is a young hero, and he is nearly middle-aged, and his popularity is chasing his father, and he is one of the most popular candidates for the next martial arts alliance leader.
Although the second son Liu Hanqing is extremely talented and has outstanding martial arts talent, he is haunted by Liu Hanyan's tragic death ten years ago, and he borrows wine all day to eliminate his sorrows.
Hiding in the dark, tears are silent, the night is silent, the stars and the moon are silent! Only the slightest sigh sounded leisurely under the night sky.
On this day, the sun first appeared, and Liu Hanqing, who was haggard and full of alcohol, had just woken up, and was about to wash up and go to drink and recreation again.
He hadn't seen the guest, but when he heard that it was a middle-aged beggar, his face suddenly changed, and he didn't care about the surprised gaze of the little guy, but he ran towards the door in a hurry before he even put on his clothes.
It has been more than ten years, and it is the first time that the Liufu family has seen their second young master so anxious, so they all speculated and whispered.
In the spring, the sun was just right, the flowers were shining, the bees were flying and the butterflies were dancing, so it was not lively, but none of this seemed to attract his attention, and he ran through the long corridor and straight in the direction of the gate.
Approaching the door, Liu Hanqing saw a sloppy man in linen gray clothes at a glance, he was slightly stunned, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and regardless of his own image, in the surprised gaze of the family in the house, he grabbed the beggar's wrist and walked towards the backyard of Green Willow Villa.
The spring breeze blows, the green willows are still clinging, accompanied by a few crisp birdsongs, and they rise quietly.
A rich kid dressed in brocade clothes, a sloppy beggar in cloth with loose hair, the two have different identities and disparities, but at this moment, they are sitting opposite each other, raising a glass and drinking together.
Liu Hanqing, who hadn't shown a smile for a long time, seemed to be smiling more happily and sincerely than anyone else today, he looked at the man opposite, then picked up the wine glass in his hand, and said gratefully:
"In the past ten years, Brother Xing has been tired of running for his little brother, and his little brother has always been grateful. β
The sloppy man on the opposite side shook his head and smiled, then stretched out his hand and pressed down the wine glass he raised, and said solemnly: "You and my brothers have grown up together since childhood, and the feelings that have come out hand in hand in the ups and downs, how can a small glass of wine be fine, if there is nothing to do, let alone a glass, it is okay to drink for three days and three nights, but this time, I have something important." β
When Liu Hanqing heard what he said, his face immediately showed a hint of expectation, and he couldn't wait to ask: "Let the leader of the beggar gang come in person, it seems that there is really news about the matter entrusted by the younger brother?"
It turned out that this person was actually the leader of the beggar gang known as chivalrous on the rivers and lakes, and now that he came in person, I am afraid that there is really something, so Liu Hanqing is very serious.
Xing Moming looked at the eager Liu Hanqing with a little hesitation, and then said solemnly: "My own brothers trust each other, of course the elder brother does his best, but there has been no news of Mo Shangqian in the past ten years, and I can't do anything, fortunately, not long ago I went to the northwest to secretly investigate the Xue family and heard some rumors, so I hurried back." β
Liu Hanqing heard him say that he went to the Xue family, his face changed slightly, and a trace of pain flashed from his eyes, and then he coughed and asked: "In this way, Brother Xing got the news of the dog thief who moved to Moshang." β
Xing Moming knew what was going on between Liu Hanqing and Xue Qing, so he just smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Luoyang is about to hold a martial arts event, and this person is also here, and now he is in Luoyang, but there are a few masters around him who are not weak, if the elder brother wants to make a move, I am afraid he must also be careful." β
"Hmph!" Liu Hanqing smiled coldly, Huo Ran stood up and said, "Don't say that it is in Luoyang, it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, since you let me know, there is no place for him to move to the guest in this world." β
Xing Moming shook his head and smiled, grabbed Liu Hanqing's shoulder, and motioned for him to sit down and speak, Liu Hanqing swept away the gloom on his face, then sat back in his place again, and immediately said: "Brother Xing, forgive me, I have hated this thief for a long time, and I haven't controlled my emotions for a while, but let Brother Xing laugh." β
Xing Moming picked up the wine bottle on the table, drank it all, and said with a cold face: "Brother's words can be seen, Sister Hanyan was victimized by Mo Shang's relocation, don't say it's you, even the old brother also wants to get rid of it quickly, if you don't care about your brother's feelings, how can you allow this guy to live to this day." β
A trace of anger flashed across his face, and then suppressed it, and said coldly: "Don't talk about him today, as long as you forgive him in Luoyang, you can't escape, I have another matter this time, I need my brother's help?"
Liu Hanqing was very surprised when he heard that Xing Moming wanted to ask him for help, after all, the beggar disciples were all over the country, and if there was something tricky for him, I was afraid it would be really difficult to do, so he straightened his clothes and looked at him with curiosity.
Xing Mo Ming glared at Liu Hanqing fiercely, and then said solemnly: "Recently, there has been news from the brothers in the Northwest that the Northwest Xue family has frequently mobilized troops in recent days, and even more Yi troops have frequently appeared, so I'm worried that something will happen." β
"Oh!"
Liu Hanqing showed a hint of surprise on his face, pondered for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "The Xue family has always been loyal to the imperial court, do you want to learn from the Southeast Xing family and the Southwest Feng family this time, and you can't stand on your own." β
Xing Moming showed a disdainful smile on his face, casually turned the wine bottle in his hand, and said lightly: "Although the situation in the court is turbulent, the general king of the Xue family, the general of the northern part of the town, will not let himself be burned, I am afraid that he will use the power of foreign clans, and then the hinterland of my Central Plains will suffer from the disaster of war!"
Liu Hanqing's face changed slightly, and he asked uncertainly: "This shouldn't be possible, after all, the history is like iron, and they won't risk the world's condemnation! Besides, with Xue Qing here, will she agree?"
Yukina shrugged his shoulders, took another glass of wine and said, "Who knows, unless you show up, your confidante may be convinced of you, but all this is still conjecture, although it is only conjecture, but it has to be guarded against." β
Listening to his slightly ridiculous tone, Liu Hanqing smiled bitterly, poured himself a glass of wine, drank it all, and then broke the wine glass and said coldly: "In this case, Hanqing will go to the northwest once, but before that, I will kill Mo Shangqian with my own hands." β
"Okay!" Xing Suena shouted, and drank all the wine in the cup, and then broke the wine glass and shouted, "The boy is born in the prime of life, and he is happy to be revenge, this time, the old brother will accompany you to meet him." β
Liu Hanqing took Xing Moming's shoulder, and said half-jokingly: "It's good that Brother Xing has pride and ambition, but this time I have to take action in person, and I'm tired of the old brother next to him." β
"That's fine!hahahaha!"
A string of hearty laughter slowly echoed from the house, and then the figure flickered, and it was already like wind and lightning out of the Liu Mansion, in the lobby, Liu Hanfeng, who had been chatting with many high-rollers, heard the sound of laughter, and a touch of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and he looked in the direction of the mansion door in a daze.
At this time, it is the day when spring is bright and the flowers are blooming!
The streets and alleys of Luoyang City are full of peddlers and pawns, and more chivalrous people with long swords on their waists shuttle among them from time to time.
Huibin Building is located in the most prosperous area in the north of Luoyang City, so people come and go are mostly rich people in brocade clothes, but in Huibin Building such an elegant occasion, but there are three or two sloppy beggars sitting on the steps on the side, looking into the building from time to time.
Not far away, there was a rather young beggar, holding a bamboo cane of more than one meter in one hand, a slightly worn folding fan in the other, and his body was wrapped in tattered strips of cloth, and his eyes were shining staring at the pedestrians entering and leaving the Huibin Building.
For his grotesque behavior, everyone around him stopped to point fingers, and even the other two beggars sitting on the stone steps were quite curious, and if it was not for something important, I am afraid that they would also come forward to discuss it.
Everyone's fingers pointed, the young beggar Quan didn't notice it, just stared coldly at Huibin Building, suddenly, his ears moved, and he looked in one direction.
The sea of people is vast, I don't know what to see?
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and the sound of messy horses' hooves came from far and near, and it didn't take long to see three brightly dressed young men riding horses to the front of Huibin Building, and the three people also ignored the accusations of passers-by, jumped off the horse and walked towards the restaurant.
One of them was left behind, and was about to set up his horses, when he saw the young beggar staring at them without blinking, his face flashing a hint of crimson, and then he snorted coldly, and the gray light flashed in his hand, and a long whip struck him.
"Smack!"
The long whip struck the young beggar firmly, and the man didn't move, only looked at him coldly, and then stared at the main entrance of Huibin Building, at this time the leader was standing next to the main entrance, and saw him staring at the direction of the main entrance, so he thought he was looking at himself, and a trace of displeasure flashed across his face.
In the end, the man was very annoyed, so he wanted to teach this person who didn't know the height of the sky again, but he heard the leader say lightly: "Xiaozhu forget it, we didn't come out to cause trouble this time." β
The man's voice was extremely crisp, as sweet as the hollow valley orchid, coupled with his extremely fair skin, it was very eye-catching, and when everyone around heard him speak, they all turned their heads to look over, but the boy didn't seem to like others to look at him, and hurried into the restaurant.
"Humph!"
The man named Xiaozhu snorted coldly, put away his long whip and chased after the person in front of him, shouting while chasing back: "Little β’β’β’β’Childe, Childe wait for me!"
Under the blue sky, in the restaurant, countless pairs of eyes stared at the young beggar, and for a while, it was silent.
