Chapter 50: Three Courses of Tea
After the two arrived at the city lord's mansion, they did not get off the horse, and went directly to the boudoir of the city lord's daughter Gao Xin'er.
When he was in Qingtu Lake, Duan You had already treated Wei Tuo, and this time he was familiar with the road, so he was not a problem.
Half an hour later, the first treatment was over. Gao Yuefei also arrived, and reported to Gao Qianshan that Lu Wei and the others had all been killed, and now Zhu Yuan and the three of them escorted the one-eyed ghost in the front hall, and asked Gao Qianshan to show it.
Gao Qianshan said: "Lu Wei thief, he actually asked Fei'er Xin'er's mother to escort him out of the country, and it will be difficult to eliminate the evil spirit in my chest if he doesn't kill him!"
Duan Youfang knew the end, thinking that it was Gao Qianshan who struggled, and Lu Wei let go and asked him to escort him, even so, those who beat women and children should indeed be killed!
Several people went to the front hall, and Zhu Yuan, Meng Xiaosi, and Cai Xiaowu went out of the hall to greet Gao Qianshan and Duan Youxing: "Meet the city lord, meet the master." Duan Jing also saluted Gao Qianshan on the side.
Gao Qianshan said: "Hurry up, please get up." He was stunned and said, "Why do you call me Master?" Gao Yuefei smiled, Gao Qianshan glanced at Duan You beside him, and then reacted, and said in surprise, "How many masters are the virtuous nephews?"
Duan You smiled, and before he could speak, Zhu Yuan said: "Report to the city lord, we are indeed the disciples of the master, the master has eight inner disciples and more than forty outer disciples. β
Gao Qianshan laughed and patted Duan You's shoulder: "The virtuous nephew is amazing, amazing!"
Duan You asked Zhu Yuan in a low voice, why did there be more than a dozen outer disciples? Zhu Yuan said that he collected it on his behalf.
The one-eyed ghost was tied into a rice dumpling and curled up in a corner of the hall, groggy and groggy. Gao Yuefei ordered someone to bring a basin of water and pour it on his head before he opened his eyes.
Duan You said, "One-eyed ghost, do you know me?"
The one-eyed ghost opened his eyes and looked at Duan You, and then looked at it, and there was a light flickering, but he didn't speak.
Seeing that he recognized himself, Duan You asked, "How did you escape from Qingtu Lake?"
The one-eyed still didn't speak. Duan You said angrily: "One-eyed ghost, you hurt my parents, arrested my Duan clan, did a lot of evil, and died without repentance, I Duan You will kill you today!"
The one-eyed ghost raised his eyelids and simply closed his eyes, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
On the side, Duan Jing suddenly said: "Leave people under the stick!" that is, he motioned to Duan Youzhi outside the palace gate, and said in a low voice, "Brother You, this person knows the whereabouts of the Duan family who was arrested by Lu Long back then, and there is my father in it, there is no doubt about it, whether there is Ling'er or not, I don't know, it is better to leave him alive, let me talk slowly, ask where my father and others are detained, and after the news of Ling'er, it is not too late to kill." Then he talked about his plan.
It turned out that after Duan You and Gongsun E killed the "Buddha-faced Double Scorpion" in Gaogou Fort Ruian Mansion a few years ago, Duan Jing knew that he had no face to face Duan You, and he was ashamed and quietly left. Thinking that after that year, his father Duan Xuan might be imprisoned in Jiuquan, Dunhuang and other places, so he went alone and begged all the way.
When I arrived in Jiuquan, I met the one-eyed ghost, Lu Wei and others, and came forward to ask for food, but Lu Wei was treated as a small servant, serving tea and water, leading the horse to fall and pedal, and serving all the way. Intentionally or unintentionally, he learned that LΓΌ Wei and others were going to Yangtho Baa City to arrest the Liangzhou Duan family, so he took the risk to send a message to Rui'an Mansion when he was resting at Gaogou Fort. After careful spying, it was determined that Lu Wei and the one-eyed ghost knew where his father Duan Xuan and others were being held. It's just that the two of them are very strict and don't say anything about the place of detention.
The current plan is to imprison him and the cyclops.
Duan You denied: "The prison is a place to breathe, and you can't be allowed to suffer like this. I let the city lord be punished, and I don't worry about the one-eyed ghost. β
Duan Jing hurriedly said: "The one-eyed ghost is hob meat, he eats grinding and not eating and cutting, he is in a hurry, he is talking nonsense about a place, how do I know......? I'm ashamed of you, I feel better when I do this, what's the harm in going to prison in order to find my father and Ling'er!"
Duan You still didn't follow, and Duan Jing insisted on his opinion. In the end, Duan You reluctantly accepted and said, "I asked the city lord to order you to give you good food." Remember, don't force yourself, and send the message when you feel uncomfortable. After speaking, he strode into the main hall.
Gao Qianshan and Gao Yuefei looked at Duan You, and Duan You immediately said: "Lord City Lord, the one-eyed ghost still has accomplices, I propose to imprison the prison first, as a bait, this little guy," Duan Jing, who cowered and walked into the hall, winked at Gao Qianshan, and then said, "This little guy's name is Jing Duan, with the intention of exculpating the one-eyed ghost, and he has bad intentions, so he should also be imprisoned and punished for the same crime, please make a decision on the city lord." β
Gao Qianshan pondered for a moment and said, "Such evil thieves should have been beheaded on the spot, and since there are still accomplices at large, they will be put in prison first." "Someone!"
That is, a soldier entered the hall and escorted the one-eyed ghost and Duan Jing away. Duan Jing shouted all the way to be wronged, which was very realistic.
So far, the turmoil caused by the one-eyed ghost and Lu Wei and his entourage has been calm.
When it was time to get You, Duan You went to Gao Xin'er's bamboo building to treat it, and the venom of the locust snake had been significantly reduced. If this is the case, it can be completely detoxified in two or three days.
It's just that Gao Xin'er always lies with her face inside, and she doesn't gnaw, which is obviously shy-at this time, she also has this heart, and she can't help but feel hot at the root of her ears, and her hands tremble slightly.
Gao Qianshan had already opened up and set up a banquet in the apse, and the banquet was due. Gao Yuefei, Duan Bai, and Chu Imperial Doctor accompanied, and Zhu Yuan, Meng Xiaosi, and Cai Xiaowu also participated.
The dishes are sumptuous, not detailed, and one of the "three teas" has opened the eyes of Duan You, Zhu Yuan and others.
When I saw two servants in the middle of the temple set up a brazier, sat on the kettle, took some tea leaves, roasted them on the brazier until they were slightly yellow, and put the tea leaves into a teapot and simmered on the fire. At that time, the water in the kettle was boiling, and a servant poured water into the tea pot, and for a moment the jar rumbled, like thunder.
After a while, the servant poured the tea from the jar into several tea cups and served them one by one in front of Gao Qianshan, Duan You and others.
The tea is as thick as juice, Duan has a sip, bitter and fragrant, its taste is indescribable, it is drunk all. After a while, a stream of heat swam all over the body, and it was extremely comfortable.
Duan You thought that three teas were drinking three teas, but he was wrong. Seeing that the servant no longer made tea, he put the walnut slices, brown sugar powder, and milk fan into the empty tea cup, held the tea can, and the amber tea gurgled and rushed into the cup.
When Duan You, Zhu Yuan and others were amazed, the third tea began. Then I saw the servant fill the teapot with boiling water, leave the brazier and place it, and then take the peppercorns and cinnamon powder, add honey, mix it into the teacup, and then pour in the tea, soak for a while, its taste is sweet and spicy, and the aftertaste is long.
Seeing that Duan You was drunk and obsessed, Gao Qianshan stroked his beard and smiled. Duan Bai said: "These three dishes of tea are served when we entertain distinguished guests in Yangtho City, and it is rare for ordinary guests to see them. β
Duan You's heart was hot, and he said to Gao Qianshan: "The little nephew is scared, thank you uncle for your love." On the side, Meng Xiaosi and Cai Xiaowu were already flattered.
Gao Qianshan smiled and said, "As long as you are happy." After a pause, he said, "I have asked Fei'er to arrange a place for you to live next to the City Lord's Mansion, so don't shirk it." β
After the banquet, Duan You's master and apprentice were accompanied by Gao Yuefei and went to their new residence.
The new residence was adjacent to the city lord's mansion, which was a rather large place, surrounded by stone walls, and contained several independent courtyards. Gao Yuefei said that the people who lived in it were under the management of the five major clans and the owners of Yangtho City, and he also lived in them.
After entering the gate, Gao Yuefei took Duan You to a secluded courtyard, stopped, and saw that the courtyard door was open, the wind lights in the courtyard were bright, and two maids greeted each other. Gao Yuefei said: "Brother, this is where I lived before, don't dislike it. β
Duan You entered the hospital and entered the house, seeing that the furniture in the house was complete, neat and clean, he praised it and said to Gao Yuefei: "Brother Yuefei, just ask, if you don't agree, we will go to the guest house." β
Gao Yuefei said: "It's okay for my brother to say it directly. β
Duan Youyi proposed to let the maid go back, no need.
Gao Yuefei hesitated for a moment, and seeing Duan You's resolute attitude, he sent the two maids away. After sitting for a while, he said that he would make a routine tour of the city and said goodbye and went out.
A few people walked around the courtyard to familiarize themselves with the new house, which was equipped with firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc. Zhu Yuan and the other three were impressed, they all admired and respected Duan You, but Duan You knew that he was treated favorably, and he was shaded by his father. The world says that the ancestors accumulate virtue and benefit their descendants, which is the case. Zhu Yuan whispered to Duan You: "I don't dare to call you a brother and a brother anymore, there are no people, so I will call you master in the future, but I am at ease." β
Duan You smiled and said, "You have to understand, in my heart, I have always treated you as a brother, Master Wei Tuo said, the title is just a code name, it doesn't matter." β
That night, Duan You helped Zhu Yuan start practicing the second pulse of Rendu. Being able to fight with the one-eyed ghost on a par shows that Zhu Yuan's internal strength is quite foundational, and after a try, it is true.
After seven consecutive days, Duan You treated Gao Xin'er twice a day for the first three days, and the rest of the time stayed at home, and the four masters and apprentices continued to practice. Zhu Yuan's second line of governor has been opened. Duan You personally taught Meng Xiaosi and Cai Xiaowu three moves and fourteen ways to beat the dog, plus the previous one move and four ways, Meng and Cai have learned four moves and eighteen ways, and the two of them were pleasantly surprised.
Duan You's own eighteen palms of the dragon are also close to eighty percent, and when he comes out of the palm, it seems to be a thunderstorm, and Zhu Yuan and the three of them are dumbfounded.
On the night of the seventh day, a sudden change occurred!
Duan You's master and apprentice were practicing, and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside, and came straight up. Duan You knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly opened the courtyard door, and saw the two of them rushing into the door, but it was Duan Feng and a city lord's personal soldiers.
Duan Feng's hair was scattered, he was out of breath, and his soldiers hurriedly said: "Duan Daxia, Duan Bai Duan Kui's house was attacked, there are many thieves, martial arts are strong, General Gao is difficult to beat, send Duan Feng to invite you, the city lord ordered me to ......"
Duan Youji led Zhu Yuan, Meng Xiaosi, and Cai Xiaowu to run out.
When I arrived at the gate of the city lord's mansion, I saw that the torches were bright, Gao Qianshan was there, and some soldiers had led horses to wait outside the gate. Duan You shouted: "Meng Xiaosi and Cai Xiaowu stay, help the soldiers to protect the city lord, close the corner gate of the gate, thoroughly investigate the city lord's mansion, and prevent thieves from entering the mansion!"
Running out not far away, I saw the flames in the direction of Duan Baijia, and the sound of shouting and killing came, and after running for a while, I saw countless people in front of me in a circle, surrounded by a circle, and there were forty or fifty figures in the circle, waving big knives and halberds to one side, and the person in the lead was holding a spear. Intercepting the enemy is none other than Gao Yuefei.
