Chapter 20: The Two Elders of Copper and Iron
The City Lord's Mansion is not only inhabited by Song Qingfeng, the city lord of Songmen City, but also has four courtyards in the city lord's mansion.
The southern courtyard is where the guards of Songmen Castle live, and although it is only the place where the guards live, it is extremely heavily guarded, and the patrol and shift changes inside the castle lord's mansion are carried out here.
The west courtyard is more miscellaneous, the kitchen, the account room, and the martial arts training ground are all lost in the west courtyard, where the personnel are dense and the responsibilities are complicated, and the basic cooks and miscellaneous servants all live here.
Compared with the west and south courtyards, the east and north courtyards are much cleaner, because the east courtyard is the residence of the city lord Song Qingfeng and his family, and the north courtyard is the residence of the two major deacons of Songmen City, and no one dares to make noise here.
Especially when the city lord Song Qingfeng was not in the city lord's mansion recently, and the two deacons didn't seem to have a good temper......
"Bang!" The sound of broken porcelain came from the room, and along with the sound of broken porcelain, the voice of an old man who sounded irritable came from the room: "Waste! Waste!" Before the words fell, another sound of broken porcelain came from the room, and it was obvious that many porcelains in this room were murdered.
The sound of scolding and broken porcelain in the room was incessant, and the subordinates standing outside the door looked as usual, as if they were accustomed to this.
After about a stick of incense, the room gradually disappeared. About half a pillar of incense had passed, and from outside the house a steady footstep could be heard approaching the door.
"Squeak. ”
The wooden door opened, and a thin old man wearing a black and white color floor robe walked out of the house with half-closed eyes, a shawl with silver hair meticulous, a straight body, and a floor robe was even smoother without a trace of wrinkles.
The old man casually threw a small bag to the person at the door, and the person skillfully stretched out his hands to catch it, and when the bag fell into the hands of the person, there was a crisp sound of silver coins colliding. The old man's voice was calm: "Take it, buy me some porcelain and come back." The subordinate bent down slightly, turned to leave, and before he had taken a few steps, he was stopped by the old man again: "Wait." The subordinate turned and bent down to wait for instructions. The old man's face was calm and serious: "Remember to buy porcelain, it doesn't need to be very exquisite, choose some big ones as much as possible, buy them cheaply, buy more, go ahead." The servant nodded, and turned to leave.
The servant left, and the old man also left the unsightly house that he had ravaged just now, and before he had taken two steps, a hippie smiling voice came from behind him: "Yo, old man copper, have you ruined the inventory last time?" You see that you spend so much money every month, and I feel distressed to be spoiled by you like this, so it is better to give me a good time." The old man, who was called the copper old man, did not turn around: "How to spend my money, you don't need to worry about Elder Tie." After speaking, he was about to leave, but before he could move his steps, he felt his shoulders sink, and Elder Tie grinned and hooked his shoulders: "Don't be so outside, your money is my money, my money is your money, there is no need to be so angry." ”
These two old men, fat and thin, are the two major deacons arranged by Emperor Liyang to stay in the city lord's mansion - Elder Tongtie.
This Iron Elder is much richer than the emaciated Copper Elder from the outside, and he looks short and stocky. Elder Copper was a full one meter eight tall, while Elder Tie was not even half as tall as Elder Copper, but it was effortless to hang on the shoulders of the straight Elder Copper who was standing like this. Elder Copper's shoulders moved slightly, Elder Tie's face changed and he immediately let go of his hand, and his fat body that looked heavy actually drew an arc in the air before it fell to the ground, landing silently, but the floor tiles under his feet were shattered.
"Don't do it, don't do it. Elder Tie wiped his palms with a hippie smile: "Don't look at my thick flesh, I can't stand you." ”
Seeing this, Elder Tong was still expressionless: "Lost again?" Elder Tie's hippie smiling expression suddenly froze on his face, and he drooped down randomly, looking extremely lost.
Seeing Elder Tie's appearance, Elder Copper had no intention of comforting him at all: "You just said, 'Your money is my money, and my money is your money', so dare to ask Elder Tie, today is the first month of the month, and it has only been seven days since the money was distributed, do you still have money in your pocket?" Elder Tie was not angry: "I'll tell you! That casino must be greasy! Otherwise, how could I lose!" Elder Copper's face remained unchanged: "Dare to ask Elder Tie, have you ever won a game over the years?" The fat old man's face froze suddenly, and he retorted dryly: " People sometimes have bad luck......"
Elder Copper took out a copper plate: "Old rule, guess the copper plate." Elder Tie's eyes lit up when he heard this: "How can you guess?" Elder Copper said slowly: "The copper plate falls to the ground, whether it is positive or negative, you win, I will lend you some money; Elder Tie was furious when he heard the mustache on his lips: "Elder Copper, you are insulting my luck!" Elder Copper still pinched the copper plate: "Bet or not?" "Bet!" Elder Tie nodded through gritted teeth.
I saw Elder Copper's fingers flick, a crisp metallic groan, and the copper plate spun and flew into the air, Elder Iron stared at the copper plate, and then saw the copper plate...... Firmly inserted into the gap between the floor tiles that Elder Fang Cai Tie had stepped on when he landed, and stood straight.
Elder Copper didn't say a word, patted Elder Tie who was stiff in place, and turned to leave, leaving Elder Tie messy in the wind.
......
Leaving aside Elder Tie, who had bad luck, Elder Copper sighed and went straight to his residence to meditate cross-legged and began his daily practice.
The two brothers of Tongtie and the two brothers went out of the same school, grew up together since childhood, and even the weapons and tricks used by the two complemented each other, and they became famous in the rivers and lakes, so that they were favored by Emperor Liyang. Emperor Liyang summoned the two into the palace, proposed to recruit the two, and put forward the conditions for solicitation, and when the two were moved by the conditions offered by the Emperor Liyang, they swore allegiance to the Emperor Liyang and voluntarily accepted the means of the Emperor Liyang, and became the archdeacon of Songmen City.
I thought that with the help of the resources of the Liyang Emperor, the strength of the two of them could go further, but the fact was unsatisfactory, although at the beginning, the strength of the two did grow under the accumulation of resources, but later, whether it was exercising, swallowing drugs or cultivating auxiliary skills, the strength of the two elders of copper and iron has never improved at all, and the two seem to be like a water tank full of water, and they can't go further.
Over time, Elder Copper's temper became extremely irritable, while Elder Iron was contaminated with the vice of gambling, indulging in the pleasure of spending a lot of money.
Feeling the regular surging of qi and blood in his body, Elder Tong opened his eyes and sighed: "There is no advance today." "It's obviously his own body, but he can't control it to go further, this subtle sense of powerlessness makes Elder Copper very angry.
"Bangbang. There was a knock at the door, and Elder Tong took a deep breath to calm down before speaking, "Come in." The man at the door pushed the door and entered.
Seeing the person coming, Elder Tong frowned: "Why are you back?, what I want you to do is done?" The person who came was the person who was ordered by Elder Tong to buy porcelain.
In order not to let his temper accumulate depressed, Elder Copper will vent by smashing things every once in a while, which looks strong but is actually quite fragile, and the sound is crisp and loud after being broken, and the porcelain with a strong sense of venting after smashing has become Elder Copper's favorite, and for him, smashing porcelain is an act that is beneficial to physical and mental health.
Hearing that Elder Tong's tone was a little unpleasant, the subordinate hurriedly said, "Lord Hui, there is news about the person you ordered to find." ”
Hearing this, Elder Tong's anger swept away, and he flashed to his subordinate and grabbed his shoulder: "Then why don't you take me to see him quickly!"
