Chapter 9: The Scholar Is Unable to Stop the Fight
After listening to Gao Fengxiang, the sword slave of Yunzhou, Jian Shuzhi's heart tightened, and he didn't think of the wording to reply to him, but when he saw his closing the door and asking in a low voice, his heart lit up, and he could judge that there was no malicious intent in this question, and seeing that he didn't mean to dig deep, he smiled at him and replied: "If everything is known to outsiders, what does the Spring and Autumn Academy rely on to stand tall?
After listening to Yile, Gao Fengxiang seemed to see through Jian Shuzhi's careful thoughts, took out the big frost knife, wiped it gently, and said with a little meaning: "I know that there is nothing to say from your mouth at all, and it is also out of interest, so I have this question." In the future, try to show as little as possible in front of people, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable. The gentleman is not guilty, but he is guilty. ”
Jian Shuzhi nodded, the names of the two sages of the Spring and Autumn Martial Academy can scare people to death just by listening to them, not to mention the inheritance left to future generations. Although the Spring and Autumn Martial Arts Academy has long disappeared in the long river of history, and few people know these legends today, it is not certain that absolutely no one knows these stories.
Seeing this, Gao Fengxiang smiled slightly, "The son can be taught." I saw him knock his fingers and flick the Great Frost Knife, the Great Frost Knife trembled slightly, and then squinted and said, "It's done." Then he put the blade back into its sheath.
The market is in the south of the city.
The group rested in the inn for a long time, and the little fat man knocked on the door one by one, pestering everyone to go to the market. Now, there is still a long way to go to the capital, and I do have to go to the market to buy some supplies in case of emergency. Ge Fuzi touched the money bag in his arms, sighed deliberately, and said: "There is not much left in the money bag, it is still far from the Beijing Division, and food and lodging are a lot of expenses. It's just to have a good time, and it doesn't cost money. ”
Ge Fuzi patted the little fat man's head, smiled, and said, "I can't believe you!"
Seeing this, Lin Shixian smiled knowingly. Helping to solve the siege, he said: "It's okay to go shopping." I was just about to ask Master and Gao Daxia to find a place to have a drink and talk to relieve their fatigue. ”
Ge Fuzi said: "This can't be helped, then you have to let Lin Gongzi break the bank!"
Lin Shixian smiled and said, "It's okay. Besides, it doesn't cost much money. ”
The little fat man muttered to himself, "When I meet such a gentleman who is not plucked, I am also quite speechless." After finishing the sympathy in his abdomen, he gave Ge Fuzi a roll of his eyes.
Ge Fuzi glanced at the little fat man's expression, smiled, and got a little carried away.
Gao Fengxiang also secretly laughed when he saw this, knowing that Ge Fuzi was deliberately teasing the little fat man. Then he proposed that this time he should come to the east, everyone gathered to discuss, and finally reached an agreement, but he couldn't bear the repeated insistence of the Yunzhou sword slave, so he obeyed his wishes.
After the discussion, a group of six soldiers divided into two routes. The little characters were led to the market by Xiaoyu, and the old characters went to the restaurant next to the market, and everyone met in the restaurant after visiting the market. After the two waves separated, Xiaoyu led the team to walk in front. The little fat man deliberately pulled Jian Shuzhi to hang behind Xiao Yu, and began to shake his head, commenting on his appearance and figure, and his mouth was amazed. Xiao Yu walked in front, heard the continuous laughter behind him, suddenly turned around, and asked, "Little fat man, what kind of bad intentions did you move again, smiling so happily?"
The little fat man was frightened, but his face was silent, and he replied with a bright smile: "I didn't move my heart, I am praising the little jade girl for her beauty and beauty, light steps, and graceful posture...... If you don't believe it, you can ask Jian Shuzhi about the wooden man. ”
After listening to this, Xiaoyu was overjoyed in her heart, it was the first time that she was praised like this by a little kid in person, and regardless of the truth or falsehood of what the fat man said, she replied and said, "I don't think you dare to talk nonsense." ”
The little fat man saw that the little jade girl did not dig deeper, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. You know, along the way, the little fat man has been beaten a lot. Turning his head, he asked Jian Shuzhi in a low voice, "Are you sure this tigress didn't hear it?"
Jian Shuzhi glanced at the little fat man, he really couldn't stand his cheap appearance, and said, "If she hears it, can you still live?"
The little fat man patted Jian Shuzhi on the shoulder, and said with a hippie smile: "Yes." At the same time, he shook his big fingers.
"Sister Xiaoyu. The little fat man shouted behind for no reason, and when he saw Xiaoyu stop and turn around, he looked puzzled. The fat man ran over with a fart, "Walk as a snack, there is water in front of you, be careful of soiling your shoes." Taking advantage of the fact that the little jade girl was not paying attention, she squeezed her eyebrows at Jian Shuzhi, and was proud, "Jian Shuzhi, hurry up and keep up." ”
Jian Shuzhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This is nothing to do!" and his feet also accelerated his pace to catch up.
Xiao Yu glanced at the little fat man and said, "With such a large pool of water stains in front of me, I am not blind." ”
The little fat man took advantage of the situation and patted it, "Sure enough, his eyes are like torches, meticulous, admire and admire ......"
For the little fat man's "brazenness", Jian Shuzhi finally empathized with it at this moment, and understood why Sun Maoming wanted to beat the little fat man, because this person is really underbeaten!
The little jade girl bought a few hairpins and some rouge gouache in the market, and the little fat man pulled Jian Shuzhi to buy some dry food and jerky, saying that it was used for tooth sacrifice on the road. Remembering that there were still a few drunkards in their group, he bought a few more wine gourds and found a wine shop to buy some wine. The little fat man showed his bargaining power at this time, which was impressive. The little jade girl usually doesn't want to look at the little fat man, but at this time, she was also impressed by him and gave him a thumbs up. Once the little fat man was praised, he began to flutter.
On the way back to the restaurant, Gao Fengxiang came to them and said that there was a message from Jingshi. At this time, the envoy was waiting at the inn, and Ge Fuzi and Lin Shixian had already returned first.
When Ge Fuzi saw that everyone was gathered, he told everyone the content of the letter from Jingshi.
Mr. Wu Xuansheng said in his letter that because Dayan and Mangcang Liukou began to confront each other, tens of thousands of people left their hometowns and had a tendency to go north. The court united with the princes of the Five Roads to set up checkpoints along the way to control, hoping that the turmoil would not further expand. At the same time, General Zuo Huairen, who was known as a god in his army, was mired in a quagmire at this time, and the front-line war had been in a state of stalemate. The reckless and reckless people are not what they used to be, and there are many capable people, and the combat power of the army should not be underestimated. There were many voices of criticism in the court council, and there were quite a few criticisms of General Zuo. Fearing that the court would continue to move troops southward in the near future, Mr. Wu hoped that everyone would speed up their pace and arrive at Beijing as soon as possible to avoid trouble.
The messenger was an old one-eyed old man, wearing a blue gown, with a dark face, white temples, his left hand covered with iron armor, and his right hand often behind him, his eyes were resolute and majestic. After Ge Fuzi finished explaining to everyone, he concisely conveyed his intentions. Mr. Wu was quite worried about the chaos outside the Beijing Division, so he sent an envoy to lead everyone to the Beijing Division.
The carriage left the capital of Jiayu County at midnight the next day and galloped on the post road. Ge Fuzi, Jian Shuzhi, and Little Fat Man rode in the carriage, and the messenger acted as a groom.
Gao Fengxiang and Lin Shixian temporarily decided to accompany everyone, and did not prepare horses. Due to the change in the itinerary, the trio selected horses as foot strength at the market yesterday evening and accompanied them together.
Gao Fengxiang took the lead and explored the way in front.
Lin Shixian and the little jade girl followed behind.
Ge Fuzi was in good spirits, and closed his eyes in the car to recuperate.
The little fat man was full of sleepiness, and after getting into the carriage, he fell asleep on the side.
Drive out of Jiayu County and drive dozens of miles along the post road. There is a fork in the road ahead, which is divided into two sides, left and right. Gao Fengxiang explored the road on the left, and the convoy slowed down and waited for the return. Suddenly, I heard the sound of horses' hooves on the post road, and a group of people galloped behind me.
At this time, the sky is slightly bright and foggy. The old messenger held the horse steady, stopped the vehicle, turned over and dismounted, and looked behind.
Lin Shixian and Xiaoyu quickly approached the vehicle, dismounted and stood with the messenger.
Ge Fuzi lifted the curtain and asked the envoy, "Is there trouble?" But seeing the envoy looking into the distance, the iron armor in his left hand was clenched into a fist, and his right hand dusted off the dust on his body, "It's just a few fleas, following all the way from Jingshi, the old man has been patient, and he wanted to get rid of it." He turned to Lin Shixian again, "If I start with them, I will trouble Lin Gongzi to protect everyone's safety." ”
Lin Shixian smiled lightly: "It's a matter of duty, but please rest assured!" The envoy nodded approvingly, smiled at Lin Shixian, and said, "There is Prince Laolin." ”
There were five people in this line, and they were beating horses to block the road. The first person has a beard on his face, two scars on his face, and his face is hideous and fierce, and he is domineering. "Zheng Lao is in such a hurry, not afraid that it will be difficult to walk at night?"
"Don't bother with the headhunter to care, but I don't know if the headhunter has been following me all the way so far, and now he is blocking my way, what's the matter?" the messenger stepped forward and stood in front.
The bearded man laughed: "Old Zheng said it was funny." The road is facing the sky, you can go wherever you want, and you can follow it. The reason why I blocked the way today is because I heard that Zheng Lao's iron fist moved the Beijing master and wanted to learn a lesson or two. From time to time, his eyes looked at the carriage and Lin Shixian, and said: "This son is very young, not from the capital. I just don't know if Childe wants to get involved in it, or stay out of it?"
Lin Shixian stepped forward to make his position clear, but did not reply.
Dai Hunter said with a smile: "The sword has no eyes, so it is good to do it yourself." ”
The envoy Zheng motioned for Lin Shixian to step back, and his left hand began to bend and clench into a fist, stretching across his chest. This is a clear formation, and there is going to be a fight.
Seeing this, Dai Hunter took the lead and rushed towards the Zheng envoy, slashed down with a big knife, and pulled out the mountain. The four people in the back dismounted and drew their knives in one go, and at first glance they were well-trained.
The little fat man felt a little nervous when he heard the non-stop fight outside and the constant sound of weapons colliding, his lips began to turn white, and his eyes fell on Ge Fuzi. Ge Fuzi signaled not to panic, but his palms were already sweating.
Jian Shuzhi was also nervous and speechless, worried that Envoy Zheng would be injured and defeated because of his old age and weakness. And he can only sit in the carriage at this time, and he is not even qualified to join in the fun. It's like fish, at the mercy of slaughter. Thinking of the experience of being young again, my heart throbbed. secretly ridiculed himself: scholars are powerless to stop fighting, especially killing fools with pen and knife.
