A restaurant in the north of Lingzhou, because it is located at the junction of Xiang and Shu, is the only way for merchants to pass through, although the restaurant is not big, but it is constantly coming from all over the clock. The shopkeeper of the restaurant is from Shu Guo, and the proprietress is from Xiang Guo, so the restaurant is named "Xiang Shu Lou". Shuguo merchants are always dissatisfied with the "item" written in front of "Shu", and they want the shopkeeper to change it to "Shuxiang Building", but the shopkeeper always smiles, they say that the shopkeeper is afraid of his wife, and the shopkeeper does not refute.

Under the window on the east side of Xiang Shulou, there was a young handsome boy sitting at this time, wearing a light blue thick shirt, with a few small flowers embroidered on the cuffs. Holding an ivory openwork folding fan, although it is inconvenient for others to look closely, it can also be seen that it is definitely not from the hands of second- or third-rate craftsmen. Wearing a light blue scarf, his skin was faintly shiny and flowing, perhaps a little tired, and his eyes showed a little haggard. On the table is a finely carved chest, the surface of which is covered with openwork decorations, and one cannot help but wonder if it must contain some rare treasure. And the five people standing next to him were in stark contrast to him, all of them had big shoulders and round waists, fierce and vicious, all dressed in brown clothes, and they should be the entourage of this son.

On the table in the middle of Xiang Shulou, there sat two old men, one had white hair and bloodless face, white as snow, but he was wearing a black dress and black shoes, and he had a black wooden cane in his hand; The two old men ordered a table of wine and food, and the two of them shouted and shouted, as if there were more than a dozen people drinking, completely ignoring the strange eyes of the people around them.

At this time, the eyes of the people in the store were rarely on the two old men, they were all looking at the man in blue and his box. But a few strong men around the man in blue dared not move. And the man in blue, as if he didn't care, still slowly tasted the store's wine one bite at a time.

Finally, after drinking four bowls of wine in a row, a Humpty Dumpty got up and walked to the man in blue: "Little master, borrow your box for me to play." As he spoke, he was about to take it, but before his hand reached the table, his arm had been cut off by a big man in brown Qi Gen, Humpty Dumpty suddenly fell to the ground, holding the broken arm and making an earth-shattering wail, and the store was also full of exclamations, and the two old men who were still noisy just now also quieted down and looked at this side.

Seven or eight of Humpty Dumpty's companions lifted the table, grabbed their weapons, and rushed up. The other three brown-clothed men also drew their swords, and the four of them took one as two, without falling behind at all, and knocked everyone to the ground in an instant, each of them either missing arms or legs, and the whole restaurant was suddenly filled with wails. And the man in blue was still sitting there leisurely drinking wine, completely ignoring the bloody massacre next to him.

When the guests in the restaurant saw them showing such methods, some made a soft snort, some couldn't bear to look directly, and some quietly left the table. The shopkeeper always lowered his head and fiddled with the abacus beads, and he didn't care about everything that happened in the restaurant from beginning to end, and it seemed that he was no longer surprised.

The other big man in brown who had not moved next to the man in blue seemed to be the leader of these people, he walked to the table of the two old men, and pulled out half of the sword in his hand and exposed: "The two of you seem to be interested in our box too, do you want to try the sword in my hand too?"

When the two old men saw the strange patterns engraved on the body of the big man in brown, they couldn't help but change their faces, glanced at each other, and exclaimed at the same time: "Water Reverse Blade!"

The two picked up the crutches in their hands and jumped out of the store, and when the others in the store found out, they were long gone, but before the two left, they actually threw down a silver ingot on the table. The brown-clothed man sneered, withdrew his sword, and still stood back beside the man in blue.

The two old men ran out for a long time, and only slowly stopped when they saw that no one was chasing after them. The old man in black said, "Second Shi, I'm tired of your brother and me." ”

The old man in white said: "Second He, I'm tired of your brother and me." ”

The old man in black said, "This Yue Xian!"

The old man in white said: "Let's make trouble!"

Jiang Xinting asked: "Uncle Huang, this righteous brother, is very good-looking. ”

Yue Xian said: "Xiaomin comes from the countryside and has no contact with the DPRK and China. Yue Jian Villa has always rarely walked around the rivers and lakes. ”

The king of Bac Ninh said: "This king can guarantee Brother Yue Xian, and he has nothing to do with this matter." ”

Jiang Xinting hurriedly said: "Why do you need Uncle Huang as a guarantor, my nephew understands in his heart that the people who Uncle Huang has friends with are all heroic and righteous people, how can they do things like chickens and dogs." But Yue ...... Since Yue Gongzi is from the rivers and lakes, he must know a lot of friends in the rivers and lakes, can you ask for help and visit friends on the rivers and lakes, and maybe there will be the whereabouts of "Five Wolves Playing Cows". ”

Before Yue Xian could speak, the king of Beining said first: "Although Brother Yue Xian is from the rivers and lakes, I also said just now that Yue Jian Villa rarely walks around the rivers and lakes, and the great commander is doing this favor, I'm afraid it will not be easy to help!"

Jiang Xinting didn't say anything, his eyes looked at Yue Xian, Yue Xian smiled at the king of Beining: "It's okay, although Yue Jian Villa has few friends, but I still know some, there happen to be a few people who have recently purchased New Year's gifts in the capital, you can ask them to see if there is any news." ”

Hearing Yue Xian say this, Jiang Xinting replied first: "Gongzi Yue is really bold, and he has thanked Uncle Huang and Gongzi Yue here!"

After Jiang Xinting left, the king of Bac Ninh couldn't help but complain: "Brother Xian, what did you promise him to do, Jiang Xinting is acting quite unscrupulously, you shouldn't help him." ”

Yue Xian said with a smile: "It is rumored that the saint today especially cherishes this "Five Wolves Playing with Ox", hanging it in the imperial study, and has to look at it every day, so that there are rumors that there is a big secret hidden in this "Five Wolves Playing with Ox". ”

The king of Bac Ninh said: "Folklore is not enough to be fully believed. It is true that the saint cherishes this picture, but if it is said that there is a secret hidden in the picture, I am afraid it is only the imagination of the people. ”

Yue Xian said: "In any case, it is true that the Holy Lord cherishes this picture, and it was stolen this time, and it was stolen in the imperial study. The younger brother said something wrong: How can the face of the heavenly family be saved? This picture cannot be recovered in one day, but I am afraid that the people of the capital and the merchants who come and go will be killed. The younger brother is not helping Jiang Ling, but helping the people. ”

The King of Beining nodded: "Brother Xian's words are good, but Brother Fool is stupid." ”

After Yue Xian entered Beijing, he has been looking for a courtyard to buy, but it seems that there is no agreement. Although the king of Bac Ninh persuaded him many times to move to his mansion, he was all rejected by Yue Xian. There are ten rooms in a row at the back of the Shunfeng Inn, surrounded by a circle of gardens, which is very elegant and secluded, so Yue Xian has covered it all. Until you find a suitable compound, it's not a bad idea to stay here temporarily. When Yue Xian returned to the inn, the officers and soldiers who had come to check early in the morning had already withdrawn, and before they had even stepped into the garden, they had already heard a commotion from inside the house, as if someone was shouting and someone was arguing. Yue Xian smiled at Eamon, "They're here. ”
