Chapter 99: Li Chengcheng
Zhao Lanjiang didn't expect that Xu Fengfeng would burst out.
But after many years of military service, he has long developed the habit of dealing with all crises at any time, and this habit has become an instinct.
Zhao Lanjiang's body bent backwards, like a broken bow and the back of the bow opened, the whole person bounced backwards, and before leaving Xu Xian, he used a wooden knife to reverse Xu Xianfeng.
Rao is like this, Xu Fengdao grazed Zhao Yanjiang's forehead.
He didn't pursue, put the knife into the sheath, and laughed loudly, "It's not chaotic in the face of danger, and it's really a famous general's demeanor." ”
Xiao Jinyan and Li Chengcheng stood there, motionless, and they could see that although Xu Xian's knife was sharp, it had no killing intent.
Xu said, "I have some good wine and meat here, why don't you come over and talk about it?"
When the four of them came to the back cabin, someone had already prepared wine and food, a thousand miles of sailing, the wine had good wine, and the food was not necessarily a good dish, some bacon, pickles, ham, and a plate of peanuts. But for the three people who ate fish and shrimp all the way, it was tantamount to a gluttonous feast.
Xu Xianfeng said: "I see that the three martial arts are extraordinary, I'm afraid it's not this boat's plan, right?"
Although Xiao Jinyan didn't know where this Xu worship was, he was low-key, his words were neither humble nor arrogant, and he had the demeanor of everyone, and he did not hide it, and said: "The three of us brothers were going to go west to Sichuan, and it happened that Mr. Li hired someone temporarily, so he came over to top the bag. ”
Xu Xianfeng took a glass of wine, took a sip, and said, "In this way, it is a coincidence that you boarded this ship. You don't know what kind of cargo this ship is having?"
Xiao Jinyan said: "I heard Old Man Li mention it, it seems to be some fine iron for the Sword Casting Conference next month. ”
"If it's just ordinary fine iron, I'm afraid I won't let the old man go out in person. Xu Fengfeng played with the wine glass in his hand, his eyes locked tightly on the three of them, and said slowly: "There is a piece of red essence and dark iron on this ship. ”
Red essence and dark iron are the strongest and most sunny things in the world, and between the world, the blades cast from this iron are only three in the world.
Five hundred years ago, Lu Xuanji defected to Shujian Mountain, stole a piece of dark iron from the mountain, and cast it into a golden knife, a hidden sword, and a nameless gun. However, the whereabouts of these three divine weapons are still unknown. The golden knife on Zhao Lanjiang's body was mixed with a little red essence and dark iron, which was enough to be proud of the rivers and lakes.
Because of this, the Tang Sect was willing to pay 300,000 taels of silver to buy this piece of dark iron, of course, the Tang Sect was not for casting swords, but for making rainstorm pear flower needles.
A rainstorm pear flower needle can fire 3,600 poisonous needles, and to shoot these poisonous needles in a few breaths, the material of the spring is extremely high, and the red essence dark iron is one of the best choices.
When Xu Xianfeng said this, he was actually testing the reaction of the three of them.
The news of the Red Essence Xuantie had already leaked, and the task of this trip was extremely serious, from the time the three of them got on the ship, Xu Xianfeng had noticed them, and he was worried that they were undercover agents sent by the opponent. The rivers and lakes are vicious, if this is the case, I am afraid that Xu Fengfeng can only strike first.
Xu Xianfeng saw that the three of them showed a stunned expression, but it didn't seem to be fake, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He said slowly, "From the moment I got on the boat, I noticed that there were people watching us, and these people were hiding in the shadows, and it was really impossible to guard against them. These people on the ship, except for Qi in charge, the rest of them are vulnerable, so Xu has the courage to make a request. ”
Xiao Jinyan smiled, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
"Since we are all on the way, I would like to invite three people who can help me with the Hundred Knife Gate, and after the matter is completed, I will definitely thank the Hundred Knife Gate. He paused, and then said: "Of course, it is normal for people to avoid disasters and avoid disasters, if the three of them refuse, Xu can also understand." ”
Before Xiao Jinyan could speak, Li Chengcheng spoke, "We agreed." ”
Xu Xianfeng thought that the other party would talk about some conditions, but he didn't expect Li Chengcheng to agree so quickly, so he looked at Xiao and Zhao again.
Xiao Jinyan said: "My brother's words are our words. ”
Li Chengcheng said again, "However, it's not for your Hundred Knife Gate. It's for our little master, and for the nameless faction. ”
These days, Xu Fengfeng has been on the same boat with them, and naturally knows that Li Jinhua has accepted three people as apprentices, and what kind of nameless sect he has founded, so he laughed, "I didn't expect that the three of them are all temperamental." ”
Xiao Jinyan said, "The three of us brothers are going to make a big move, it's best to come to a few masters, let's kill them, as long as it's not Yuwen Tianlu, we'll help you kill it!"
Xu Xianfeng also said, "If Yuwen Tianlu comes in person, I'm afraid I will have to run away." ”
The three of them couldn't help laughing when they saw that he was so truthful.
......
A few days later, the ship arrived at Jiujiang Wharf.
Jiujiang, known as Xunyang in ancient times, is the mouth of the three rivers and the thoroughfare of the nine provinces. The Yangtze River is in a section of the Jiujiang River, also known as the Xunyang River. On the first line of the Yangtze River, Jiujiang Wharf is a larger wharf.
According to the plan, the boat docked in Jiujiang and rested for three days.
As soon as everyone drove on the boat for more than a month, they were tired for dozens of days, and their feet did not land, not to mention people, even Lu Gongzi was going crazy, and when he got off the boat, he followed behind a female donkey, and he wanted to do that kind of thing, and several people couldn't pull it.
Second, the supplies on the ship were almost consumed, and Li Dazhun and others had to buy some food in Jiujiang. In addition, in October, the weather is getting colder, so I have to buy some clothes and heating things.
Third, Li Dazhun runs the Xichuan line all the year round, and has a lot of friends here, this trip, he entered a hundred Su Jin from Suzhou, visited friends here, and looked for an opportunity to get rid of it by the way. Then buy some goods, and earn the difference after entering Shuzhong. In business, there is nothing wrong with it, and this is also their way of making a living.
Li Dazhun got off the ship and hired a dozen or so slender men, pulled the boat to the shallow water, anchored and docked, and went to the officer and soldier post to pay the silver tax, and completed the formalities.
Xiao Jinyan and the three of them stood on the boat, looking at the Jiujiang Wharf, although it was winter, there were still many merchant ships on the wharf, full of slender men who were picking up work everywhere, mothers-in-law carrying bamboo baskets to sell food, and beggars in ragged clothes.
Xiao Jinyan said: "It is worthy of being known as the 'land of eyebrows in the world', this Jiujiang Wharf is much more prosperous than Suzhou Wharf." ”
"When you arrive in Jiujiang, if you don't go to Lushan and don't taste the three stones of Lushan, it's a pity. Li Chengcheng said, "Anyway, there is nothing to do, why don't you go around the city today?"
Xiao Jinyanqi asked: "
What are the three stones of Lushan?"
"Stone chickens, stone ears, stone fish. ”
When Xiao Jinyan heard this, he sighed: "Stones can also be eaten? I have a bad mouth, I'm afraid I won't be blessed to enjoy it." ”
Li Chengcheng explained angrily, "Stone chicken, not a chicken, but a kind of spiny frog born in mountain streams, the meat is delicious, and it melts in the mouth. When cooking, it is stir-fried with green onions, ginger and chili peppers, then smoked, and served with rice, which is a delicacy in the world. ”
"What is that stone ear?"
"Stone ear, not ear, is a fungus on the mountain yīn stone, used to make soup, mellow taste, endless aftertaste. ”
Xiao Jinyan sighed, "That stone fish is not a fish anymore?"
Li Qingcheng said: "It's fish." ”
Xiao Jinyan looked envious, "You also lived for more than twenty years, why are you so good?"
Li Tingcheng looked at him with a disdainful expression that you had never seen the world, and said, "Speaking of eating, I can tell you for three days and three nights, because I am Li Tingcheng." ”
The third young master of the Li family in Jinling, the proud son of heaven who was born with a golden key, has eaten, passed, and seen, how can he be compared with an expired nouveau riche like Li Tingcheng and a poor child like Zhao Lanjiang?
These words, not to mention Xiao Jinyan, even Li Jinhua next to him listened to it with a yearning face, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Every time I come to Jiujiang, it's good for grandpa to buy me a Jiujiang tea cake to taste." ”
Xiao Jinyan said with a smile, "In this case, the three of us will accompany Master on a tour of Jiujiang City today, anyway, Li Chengcheng has money." ”
"I don't have any money. ”
Xiao Jinyan pointed at Zhao Lanjiang, "Zhao Gongzi pays the bill." ”
Zhao Lanjiang sneered, and said in his heart when Lao Tzu gave money for dinner, but he didn't say anything. Anyway, if you go out together, as long as you are thick-skinned and can hold on, in the end, someone will always pay. The martial arts are higher than my Zhao Lanjiang, but it is thicker than my cheeks, and I Zhao Lanjiang has not lost anyone.
On the boat, Xu Xianfeng, Qi Baihu and others were guarding, and Li Dazhun had already gone to the city to visit friends, but no one stopped them.
As soon as I got off the boat, a sister-in-law came over on the dock, "Little brother, don't you live in the hotel?" for a hundred and a night, there is hot water, you can take a bath, if you are willing to spend some silver, you can also invite the sister in the heaven and earth next door to come and sing you a song "Pipa Xing", a little wine to drink, life is beautiful, how about it?"
The four of them ignored her and continued to move forward, the sister-in-law was unyielding, "We still have an hourly room......
Xiao Jinyan turned around and asked, "Is there a net?"
The sister-in-law waved her hand, "Our store is very clean, there are not even a single fly, how can there be a spider web?"
Xiao Jinyan snorted, "I don't have a network, I'm embarrassed to open a store." "Turn around and go.
The sister-in-law wondered in the back, when did this become popular, is it the most fashionable thing in the capital? Seeing that there were guests again, she leaned over and said, "Guest officer, don't you live in a hotel, Baiwen can take a bath for a night, there is hot water, you can take a bath, by the way, there is also a net!"
The four of them entered the city and wandered around while shopping for some snacks.
Li Jinhua often stops in Jiujiang, but her grandfather rarely lets her enter the city, and even if she comes in, she will never leave, let alone spend money indiscriminately. Today, the three apprentices took her to visit Jiujiang City, and the three of them hugged one person, and it was inevitable that there was a sense of pride in their hearts.
Before I knew it, it was evening.
"Li Daxia, don't you want to eat the three stones of Lushan?" Xiao Jinyan asked.
Li Chengcheng was not ambiguous, and after a little inquiry, an old man said, "If you want to eat the three uniques of Lushan, you have to go to heaven and earth, drink Xunyang special brew, and listen to the pipa night play, which is the joy of the world." ”
Xiao Jinyanqi said, "Isn't heaven and earth a place of wind and moon?"
The old man said, "Is there nothing to eat in Fengyue Place?"
"Have you ever eaten it?"
The old man pointed to the tattered straight shirt, "You look at me like this, I look like a master who has been there, and I am also hearsay." ”
Li Chengcheng said that he was too lazy to ask, so he went to heaven and earth.
......
Heaven and earth.
The beauty of the world is three points in the sky, two points in the world, and the remaining five points are all in the heaven and earth.
It is not difficult to find here, when the four people came, they saw a three-story building standing in the most conspicuous place of Jiujiang City, the first thing that caught their eyes was the plaque of four gilded characters of "heaven and earth", the four characters were extraordinary, and it was obvious that it was written by a famous artist.
Even Li Chengcheng didn't expect that a Jiujiang City would have such a luxurious Fengyue Field, which shows that the identity of the owner behind the scenes is not ordinary.
At the beginning of the day, the three floors are covered with lanterns, illuminating the inside. The decoration is splendid, very exquisite, only in winter, the earth dragon is burned inside, and I feel a little hot when I go in.
Li Chengcheng said, "People in the magnificent, high temperature environment, the more likely it is to have impulsive consumption, if you drink some more wine to help the fun, it is really like spending money, it seems that the owner of this building, well versed in this." ”
Xiao Jinyan said I think you are well versed in this, and it is a pity that you don't open a green building in Jinling.
Li Jinping had never been in or out of such a place, and said at the door, "Otherwise, let's find a small shop." ”
Li Tingcheng shook his head, "Come once, if you don't eat the best, won't you come in vain?"
The four of them went in, and a small servant waited for them to come to a private room. When he wanted to come to the recipe, Xiao Jinyan looked at it and couldn't help but speak, "A plate of shredded potatoes costs two taels of silver?"
He pondered, Li Chengcheng didn't bring any money, and Zhao Lanjiang didn't look like a rich master, in the end, sooner or later, he had to settle the bill by himself, and he didn't have much silver on his body, and the only thing worth it was Tang Ao's ten golden swords.
Xiao Jinyan put the recipe together, "Let's serve three plates of shredded potatoes first!"
The guy stood by, refusing to leave, "Gone?"
"It's gone. ”
"Guest, you're really kidding, we have a minimum cost here. He pointed to a snack at the door, "If you want to eat shredded potatoes, please move over there, the price is fair and the quantity is large, and it will not prevent us from doing business." ”
Xiao Jinyan said, "I don't like to hear this. ”
At this time, a boy in a blue silk costume walked in surrounded by several people, and suddenly the old bustard in heaven and earth rushed up, "It turned out to be Zhao Gongzi, you haven't been here for a few days, and the girls are almost lovesick." ”
The son-in-law, who was called Zhao Gongzi, pinched the old bustard's buttocks, causing the old bustard to laugh coquettishly, "Today."
What kind of show do you want?"
"Go to the third floor. ”
Zhao Gongzi noticed this side, came to the four of them, looked at Li Chengcheng and said, "You are also eating here?"
Li Tingcheng ignored him.
Zhao Gongzi smiled, "I'll look at the menu, shredded potatoes, shredded potatoes, shredded potatoes, haha, dignified Li Chengcheng, actually eat this kind of thing, today I have covered the entire third floor, do you want me to invite you?"
Li Qingcheng said coldly: "No need. ”
Zhao Gongzi waved his hand, and a subordinate said, "Zhao Gongzi pays for the consumption in this building tonight." When everyone heard this, they burst into a bang, "Thank you, Zhao Gongzi." ”
"You use it slowly, I'm going upstairs. ”
Xiao Jinyan called his buddy, "Since someone pays, two copies of the three uniques in Luzhou, four catties of lobster, five catties of abalone, six catties of sea cucumbers, Jiujiang special brew, and ten altars!"
After a while, the meal came up.
Xiao Jinyan and Zhao Lanjiang devoured it.
Li Chengcheng's chopsticks did not move.
Although Li Jinhua also eats, he is more reserved.
Xiao Jinyan said while eating: "The meal that doesn't cost money is fragrant." ”
Zhao Lanjiang asked, "Who is that man?"
Li Chengcheng said indifferently, "Zhao Santai, the son of Zhao Jiucheng, a salt merchant in Jiangxi Province, is a gentleman, relying on the old man's wealth, and he wanders in the Qinglou all day long. ”
"You two have a grudge?"
"A few years ago in Jinling, he asked me to show off my wealth, but I ignored him. ”
There is not only food in heaven and earth, but also women.
This kind of gold cave is not like a roadside wild shop, the first half of the night is mostly vegetarian dishes, and when the guests are interested, the money is almost spent, and then the meat dishes are served.
Not long after eating, the sound of the piano started, and a graceful and moving girl came to the stage to dance, and the water cloud sleeves danced, like a butterfly, and everyone was fascinated.
At the end of the dance, there was thunderous laughter, and there were guests who donated money one after another.
Wuling is young and entangled, and I don't know how many red silk songs are played.
I heard someone upstairs singing a promise: "Zhao Gongzi rewarded the autumn moon girl with five hundred taels of silver!"
Sure enough, it's a big deal!
The man said again: "Zhao Gongzi asked Li Gongzi downstairs if he picked it up?"
A small servant held a plate with a red collar and came to Li Chengcheng, Li Chengcheng smiled slightly, took a sip of wine, and did not answer.
The second show was a ventriloquist, and at the end of the performance, he said upstairs, "Zhao Gongzi rewarded Mr. Zhang with 1,000 taels of silver, and asked Li Gongzi downstairs if he picked it up?"
Li Tingcheng still shook his head.
For four or five shows in a row, Zhao Gongzi upstairs rewarded more than 5,000 taels of silver one after another, which caused everyone to marvel again and again. Every time Zhao Gongzi rewarded him, he had to ask whether Li Gongzi would accept it, and everyone talked about it.
"I'm afraid this kid has offended Zhao Gongzi, right?"
"Zhao Gongzi's family has a big business, and it costs thousands of taels of silver, which is not the same as playing in the water, but humiliating this Li Gongzi like this is a little unkind. ”
Zhao Lanjiang said: "You are really calm, if it were me, I would go upstairs in the morning and slaughter that kid with a knife." ”
Li Chengcheng stood up.
Xiao Jinyan said: "Don't mess around. ”
Li Chengcheng said, "I just invited Master to a meal, that kid is so noisy." ”
Xiao Jinyan said, "Now, you said you invited this meal." ”
Li Chengcheng ignored him, went straight to the backstage, and said to the old bustard, "Call your boss." ”
Not long after, Li Chengcheng came back and sat down to drink.
"The last song is the number one phoenix in heaven and earth, Sister Feng, to perform a song "Arsenic" Frost Xing, I think everyone has also heard it, not long ago at the feast of flowers, our Sister Feng has entered the Xiaosheng Jianghu list, please Sister Feng!"
The woman appeared, holding the pipa in her arms and half-covering her face.
At the Hundred Flowers Feast in Yangzhou that day, Xiao Jinyan saw this person, and thought that he was still fighting with Yuwenshuang at that time, and couldn't help laughing.
The hinge plucks the strings three or two times, and there is love before the tune.
This song "Arsenic 'Frost Xing" sings the poignant love story of the martial arts brother and Jin Lian in Qinghe County.
At the end of the song, there was silence.
Immediately after, there was a thunderous roar of joy.
"Well sung!"
Everyone generously donated money to reward Sister Feng, the top brand in heaven and earth. There was another scream from upstairs: "Zhao Gongzi rewards Sister Feng with ten thousand taels of silver!"
This is the highest single reward record since the opening of heaven and earth.
In the midst of an exclamation, the guy shouted hoarsely: "Zhao Gongzi asked the poor man surnamed Li downstairs to pick up or not?"
Everyone looked at Li Chengcheng.
Li Chengcheng was calm.
Suddenly, there was a commotion from upstairs.
The guy exclaimed, "Zhao Gongzi is dead!"
Although heaven and earth are places of wind and moon, if there is a human life lawsuit, it will not be good. This is not the first time in heaven and earth, someone has already reported to the official, and some people have dealt with it.
The crowd prepares to leave.
Xiao Jinyan also stood up and prepared to leave. The man said, "Your table costs a total of seven hundred taels of silver." ”
"Didn't Zhao Gongzi pay the bill?"
The guy said coldly, "Do you think he can still pay now?"
Xiao Jinyan said, "Take a look, there are still some dishes on this table that haven't moved the chopsticks, you can't see it, help me return." ”
Li Chengcheng asked Li Jinhua, "Master, have you eaten well?"
Li Jinhua nodded.
Li Chengcheng said: "Then let's go." ”
As soon as they got together, the shopkeeper of heaven and earth came to the four of them with the bustard and five or six people, and stood beside Li Chengcheng with a respectful face.
Li Chengcheng said, "What kind of broken shop, things are not delicious." ”
These people nodded in agreement, did not dare to refute a word, and sent everyone away from heaven and earth.
Zhao Lanjiang asked, "Why doesn't anyone collect money from us?"
Li Chengcheng said, "Invite Master to dinner today, I bought this building." ”
"Where did you get the money?"
"I don't have any money, I just told them that my name is Li Chengcheng. ”
