Volume 1 Wisdom Fighting the Capital Chapter 85, Hate the Ignorant Voice
"Fourth son, do you look like Xu Mou is like a joker now?" Xu Ke said, rolled up the clothes on his chest, and showed Murong Ji and Murong Meng the two wounds on his chest......
"It's not a secret, Xu is here today, in addition to seeing the ranks, he also wants to see the last side of the old man. Ignorance...... Can Sister Ling be in the house today?" Xu Ke put down his shirt and saluted Murong Meng with a fist.
Murong Miao couldn't help frowning when he smelled the stench of black blood, but he didn't cover his nose directly like Murong Ji. He heard Xu Ke ask, and then replied:
"Xu Baihu, it's unfortunate! My third sister traveled south with my second brother and never returned, and now where she is, my eldest brother doesn't know ......."
Xu Ke waited for a long time, just waiting for Murong Yan's words, although he could guess in his heart that Murong Yan had probably not returned to the house yet, but he always had a glimmer of hope before, always looking forward to a miracle. Now, after listening to Murong Ming's words, his face suddenly turned like ashes, and at that moment, he no longer wanted to stay a little more, but only hurriedly said a few words, and then got up to leave.
Murong Miao still sent Xu Ke out of the gate as usual, and watched Xu Ke get into the carriage and go away......
"Big brother, don't we have the antidote to the 'Seven Days Soul Devouring Dispersion' at home? Previously, didn't Kang Youren in the Kangmen of Shuzhong, in order to tie up with his father, send the two small white jade bottles that were still hidden in his father's Hundred Treasure Building?" Murong Ji, who came from behind, asked with a smile.
"Are you willing to give it to him?" Murong Miao asked lightly.
"Haha! Those who know me, big brother too! Big brother really understands little brother too well! I originally wanted to take revenge on him fiercely today, but I never thought that this guy couldn't live because of his own sin, and before I could clean it up, he himself fell into this strange poison in the world first! I really don't want him to die soon, I want him to live a few more days and see how he suffers!" Murong Ji said with a smile.
"It's just that if the third sister knows, you have to blame my eldest brother for being too ruthless......" Murong Meng sighed, his face full of unbearable expressions.
"Ahem...... Big brother, this guy is poison in himself, what does it have to do with us? Everything in my father's Baibao Building is a treasure! How can I be cheap with that guy! Besides, if the eldest brother doesn't talk about it, I won't say it, and the third sister won't know about it......" Murong Ji still said with a smile.
......
Here, Xu Ke left the Murong Mansion and had nowhere to go, so he had to return to his mansion again and lie back in his room. At this time, there was still no news of Hu Yiyi and Shu Hatian, Xu Ke was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, thinking nonsense, he wanted to rest but felt uncomfortable. He wanted to get out but didn't know where to go. He didn't want to make Mr. Autumn sad, so he couldn't go to the Autumn Leaf Cottage. His two brothers-in-law were not around. Now, if you want to ask the person he wants to see the most at this moment, except for Murong Yan, who is not in Chang'an, it is ...... The blue wave fairy Hu Yiyi. But, "Sister Hu, where have you been? I haven't been sick for a few days...... Today, I just want to see my sister for the last time, is it still not okay?" Xu Ke couldn't help but secretly saddened.
The sky was dark, and the entire Xu Mansion was lit up with white gauze palace lights, decorating this big mansion magnificently. Xu Ke had no intention of sleeping, so he simply turned over, took the sword and walked out of the gate of Xu's mansion, and went straight to Wangxian Tower alone...... He naturally wants to drink, at this moment, thinking about anything is superfluous, just drink him and get drunk!
Wangxian Tower is located in Liquanfang, and Xu Mansion is separated by a few walls. When Xu Ke arrived at the Wangxian Tower, a child who had already run the hall came up to greet him warmly: "Hey, Lord Xu is here! Which gust of wind has blown you Lord Xu! You haven't been here for a while! What do you want to drink today?"
It's just that Xu Ke usually comes to drink, and he is the shopkeeper of his own store to Xiao'er, and everyone knows this generous Lord Xu.
"More than ten years of 'Fenyang drunk'...... Bring me two pots first!" Xu Ke ordered, and then chose a window seat on the second floor to sit.
"Okay!" ran the hall and walked away, and before long, the little boy brought the four appetizers that Xu Ke usually ordered the most, and two pots of twenty-year-old 'Fenyang drunk' were immediately presented to the wine table.
Xu Ke poured himself a full glass of wine, looked up at a glass, poured it again after drinking, raised his neck again and drank it all, just like that, after drinking six glasses in a row, he put down the wine glass, and said to himself, "It's really a good wine!
"This son...... That's a lot of wine!" At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest came up from the wooden ladder of the restaurant, who was wearing a gray Taoist robe and a Taoist bun on his head. When he saw Xu Ke drinking too much, he couldn't help but be curious, so he walked up to Xu Ke and said with a smile.
"If the Taoist chief doesn't dislike it, you might as well sit down and have a few drinks with Xu......" Xu Ke saw that the middle-aged Taoist looked kind and smiled, so he invited him.
"Brother Xu is so polite, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate" The middle-aged Taoist was not polite, so he sat face to face with Xu Ke. The shopkeeper hurriedly sent a wine glass, a pair of chopsticks and two plates of hot dishes.
"Not consulted...... Brother Xu Taifu?" The middle-aged Taoist took a big sip of wine, ate a few mouthfuls of food, and asked with a smile.
"In Xia Xu Ke, the cursive word is disease-free, there is no other number, and the Taoist chief can call me 'disease-free'...... Dare to ask what is the name of the Taoist chief, where to practice?" Xu Ke poured the middle-aged Taoist full of wine and said. This way of drinking has always been that it is better to enjoy alone than to enjoy it all, and it is often boring to pour yourself and drink yourself. At this time, when he saw that someone was willing to drink with him, his heart naturally became interested, and for a while, his mind was full of the joy of drinking, and as for the poison in his body, he only had three days to live at most, and he had already forgotten about it outside Java......
"Poor Zhang Chengpeng, who lives in Suzhou Xuanmiaoguan to practice. The Taoist named Zhang Chengpeng took another sip of wine and replied.
"Suzhou Xuanmiao Temple...... It's a little far away from Chang'an! The Taoist has come to this capital thousands of miles away, won't he just take a sip of the famous bar here?" Xu Ke and Zhang Chengpeng drank a glass and said with a smile.
"Hehehe, Brother Xu laughed, Poor Dao came to Chang'an this time, he came to ask for help on the order of my senior brother, a few days ago, a big event happened in my Suzhou Mansion!" Zhang Chengpeng said.
Xu Ke just said "oh", and Gu Zi took a big sip of wine. That Zhang Chengpeng saw that Xu Ke didn't ask, so he had to continue:
"Don't hide it from Brother Xu, this major event is in Suzhou, you don't know that you are in Chang'an, but I am in Suzhou Mansion, but no one knows it, no one knows it, in the past half a month, the streets and alleys of my Suzhou City, the people have been talking about this matter every day......"
Zhang Chengpeng took another big sip of wine, ate a leek spring roll, and continued:
"Brother Xu knows that half a month ago, that is, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, at noon that day, a giant turtle swam up in the Taihu Lake in the south of Suzhou! The giant turtle turned up a monstrous wave, and in the blink of an eye, it overturned a big boat that Na Qincha was riding, and all the people in the boat were drowned in the lake, and many people drowned...... Does Brother Xu know how tall and big the old turtle is?...... Hehehe! Just this one turtle head, tsk tsk...... It's like a mountain, if Brother Xu was by the lake at that time, he would inevitably be dumbfounded!" That Zhang Chengpeng was eating wine and food, and he was gesturing, just like he was at the scene at that time.
"Didn't you, the prefect of Suzhou, Li Chengfeng, set up an official ship and rescued all the people who fell into the water ashore? Where did the drowned people come from?" Hearing Zhang Chengpeng's words, Xu Ke couldn't help but feel unhappy, and then asked rhetorically.
"Governor Li set up an official ship to come over, but it only rescued Lord Qincha and several of his cronies...... As for the sailors on the ship, in this case, what other official would pity these subordinates...... On that big painting boat, there are a few twenty or thirty boatmen, don't they all have to be buried in the lake! According to the poor road, most of them were swallowed alive by the giant turtle!" Zhang Chengpeng was still talking nonsense at this time, and he didn't think about it carefully, how could Xu Ke in front of him know so clearly about the matter in Suzhou?
"Dao Chief, did you see all these words with your own eyes at the time?" Xu Ke asked as he stared at Zhang Chengpeng with his eyes.
"It's not ...... However, in this Suzhou city, it is all spread like this!" Zhang Chengpeng said stubbornly. He secretly thought to himself: "Could it be that this incident that happened in my Suzhou Mansion has now been rumored to the entire Chang'an City? Can he know better than me about the water monster in Taihu Lake? No! I have been from Suzhou since the ninth day of the first month of the first month, and I have come all the way to the capital on horseback, and I have just arrived in the capital today, is the news faster than my horse?!"
"Dao Chief, you are a cultivator, you should know that everything is true when you see it, and those who hear it are false, this person's life is a matter of heaven, how can Dao Chang rely on hearsay and rumors in Lu Lane, and then talk nonsense?!" Xu Ke sank his face and said with a straight face.
"Could it be...... Could it be that at that time, this giant turtle was making trouble in Taihu Lake, but Brother Xu saw it with his own eyes?" Zhang Chengpeng couldn't help but ask rhetorically. He secretly said that you are a Chang'an person, could you really be there at that time? Since you were not at the scene, what qualifications did you have to teach me a lesson?
"Don't hide it from the chief, on the eighth day of the first month of the first month, Xu not only was in the lake in person, but also rescued all those who fell into the water on the boat...... Xu Ke took a sip of wine, and briefly told Zhang Chengpeng about the encounter between himself and Li Jin in the lake that day, and then being rescued by Li Chengfeng's boat......
"It turned out to be Tsing Yi Wei Xu Baihu, poor and disrespectful!" Zhang Chengpeng heard that the person who drank with him was actually one of the hundred households in Tsing Yi Wei, and he was immediately frightened in his heart. He originally saw Xu Ke a beautiful young man, but his face was full of pale color, and a faint black gas flashed in his eyebrows, so he thought of saying a few auspicious words to bluff the other party, and by the way, he begged for a meal of wine and food, and it would be better if he could cheat a few taels of silver to use it as a coil. How do you know that you have met a hundred households of Tsing Yi Wei, and everyone in the world knows that this Tsing Yi Wei is not easy to mess with. At that moment, he didn't care about the truth or falsehood, hurriedly got up, and bowed respectfully to Xu Ke.
"The Taoist chief doesn't have to be polite! Please sit down! If the Taoist chief returns to Suzhou in the future, he must explain to the people of Hefu that although there was a giant turtle in the lake that day, no one fell into the water, and no one was injured! Xu asked for ......" Xu Ke waved his hand to signal Zhang Chengpeng to sit down, and he hugged his fist in his seat and saluted him back, saying.
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Poor Dao must follow Xu Baihu's instructions, and he will never dare to listen to rumors indiscriminately in the future......" Zhang Chengpeng sat down lightly and hurriedly replied.
The two politely continued to eat and drink, but the atmosphere at this time was no longer as easy-going and warm as before. Xu Ke couldn't help but regret why he showed his identity, in order to slightly ease the embarrassing atmosphere on the current wine table, Xu Ke asked casually:
"The Taoist said earlier that he was coming to Chang'an for help, this is ...... Who are you going to ask for, and for what?"
"Hey, of course, it's for that giant turtle......" Zhang Chengpeng didn't want the atmosphere to be too embarrassing at this time, he was only looking forward to Xu Baihu's wine opposite, and he must drink happily, at this time, seeing Xu Ke take the initiative to ask, he naturally replied very diligently:
"Brother Xu, think about it, at that time, the giant turtle suddenly swam onto the lake, and it was reckless, overturning the river and the sea, and almost swept Lord Qincha and your Lord Baihu and the dozens of boatmen and soldiers into the bottom of the lake...... Although Lord Xu has achieved great feats and rescued all the people in a boatload, this giant turtle is still in Taihu Lake! If it comes up next time and makes a big fuss, how can the people on the lake live? Now, there is a lot of nonsense in this Suzhou Prefecture, saying that the old turtle will cross the lake from time to time and devour those who are boaters, so that the people of my house will not dare to sail in the Taihu Lake at will! My senior brother Liu Chenghe, the master of the Xuanmiao Temple, thinks of the common people, and earnestly thinks of the responsibility of protecting the land, and vows to get rid of this giant monster! It was a handwritten letter, and I was specially ordered to rush to the Xuandu Temple on the outskirts of Chang'an City to ask the master Li Chunfeng to go to eliminate the demon!"
When Xu Ke heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he eagerly grabbed Zhang Chengpeng's collar and asked, "Who did you say you were looking for to get rid of the demon?"
Zhang Chengpeng saw that Xu Ke suddenly reached out and grabbed his collar, and he didn't know what the other party meant, so he had to tremble and replied:
"Xuandu Guan Lord...... Plum...... Chunfeng!"
