Chapter 14 Zhao Ance VI
We ate quite lightly at this banquet, I thought that a few of us attending this banquet would inevitably be met with some rumors, maybe there would be some officers or mercenaries on the scene to talk about the Seven Great Sects and the Immortal Hall, or by the way, I was ridiculed, but in fact, including Kangping, those people did not mention anything about the rivers and lakes at all, and during the whole banquet, more of us were praised for repelling the Tibetan army, which can be said to have given us enough face. Bailitu is probably because of this, so he is in a very happy mood now, but he still lingers after eating the banquet.
Baili Tu smiled: "Brother Gu, you may not have noticed, Kang Ping has a strong general, and he drinks a lot of wine, and everyone else drinks it in bowls, but he directly uses the wine jar to replace it, and he still doesn't see the slightest drunkenness when he drinks four or five jars of wine alone." Only this bearing, he must also be a great hero. ”
Yang Chong suddenly said behind him: "Brother Baili, if you want to talk about heroes, I think General Kang is really good." They guard the border passes, aiming to protect their families and defend the country, unlike those dirty officials in other states and cities in the Central Plains, who only know how to spend all their time drinking and playing with playthings, but they don't know that if these generals are not on the front line, where can they enjoy peace?"
If there were no front-line generals to defend the city, I'm afraid that the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty would not exist for a long time, right?
Listening to their words, I unconsciously felt some admiration in my heart. Although I don't know much about him, he is a good general with a mind that is dedicated to serving the people and the country. My opinion of him has also been raised to a higher level. The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, his subordinates are so arrogant, presumably Kangping's character will not be bad, Minzhou City can produce such a loyal general, and it is really applauded.
At this time, He Yun said: "Darthead, in fact, Lord Kang is so retaining you, why don't Darthead take this opportunity to respond to him? First, we can contribute some strength to Minzhou City, and secondly, our brothers can also settle down here to revitalize the prestige of the dart game, why not?"
Minzhou City is a prosperous trade place at the border, the buying and selling market for escorting goods is very large, if you can reopen the world dart game here, with their skills in the hundred miles, plus the support of Kang Ping behind, presumably the dart game will be smooth sailing, and it will never be inferior to any mercenary army in Minzhou City. He Yun is thoughtful and long-term, and he also saw such a good opportunity. In fact, he didn't know that as early as when Kangping asked us to stay in his house for a few more days, I had such an idea in my heart, but it was only a flash in my mind, and I quickly dispelled it.
After all, this is a border pass, not a peaceful paradise, a place where war is about to break out, if I promise Kang Ping to stay in Minzhou City, it will be equivalent to bringing the Baili disciples to the edge of the fire cave, and this is exactly the last thing I want to see. I smiled and said casually: "Brother He, the Tao is not the same, Master Kang and they have their responsibilities, and we also have our own piece of heaven to break through, so why bother others." ”
He Yun thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's true, it's better to rely on others than on yourself, we want people to have people, as long as we work together, the world's dart game will definitely shine, and it is more comfortable than being controlled by others." ”
They all let out a burst of laughter, and Baili suddenly said: "By the way, Brother Gu, when we leave Minzhou City this time, have you ever thought about where to stay?"
Originally, I was full of joy, but when I heard him ask this, I felt a basin of cold water from my head to the soles of my feet, and I was a little speechless for a while.
Oh, yes. Where are we going to leave Minzhou City? In the battle of Kunlun Mountain, I was framed as the culprit who provoked the war, and I am afraid that the two realms of righteousness and demons will not let me go easily, and the forces of the seven major sects in the Central Plains are all over the state cities, and there are also a lot of eyeliners, I don't know where to settle down when I think about it, not to mention that I am still surrounded by brothers in the dart game. Thinking of this, I don't feel that I have another headache, according to our current situation, it is really better to stay in Minzhou City and enter the general's mansion in Kangping. But even in Minzhou City, there is a Kongtong faction next to it.
I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, we will make plans after Senior Jiang returns." ”
Baili Tu smiled: "Anyway, no matter where you go, we will go wherever we go, and you and my brother will never be separated like last time." ”
Baili Tu was a little drunk, this was very refreshing, I heard Yang Chong also say: "Yes, we will go where the dart head goes, and we will never be separated again." He Yun and they all responded one after another, and more is also a meaning.
They must also be worried that the Seven Great Sects will come to their door.
I thought silently. Just smiled and didn't say anything more.
At this time, I heard someone in front of me shouting, "Mr. Nagu, are you back?"
I looked up, only to see that before I knew it, we had reached the gate of the ancient courtyard, I looked at the sky, at this time the gray clouds in the sky were still very thin, but the scattered rain silk, it seemed that there was still a lot of time before the rain was coming. But it's already dusk, and now is the right time to get out of town.
Hearing the words of the soldiers guarding the door, Nagu didn't seem to hear it, still walking towards the gate of the small courtyard with his head down, I walked a few steps quickly, and said, "Mr. Nagu, we won't go in." ”
Nagu let out an "ah", then turned around, and said a little hesitantly: "Brother Gu, are you leaving?" Okay, I'll go and arrange the carriage and horses." As soon as he took two steps, he seemed to think of something again, patted his head and said, "By the way, I almost forgot about this, Brother Gu, you wait for me here, I'll get you something." After that, he ignored us and hurried towards the small courtyard.
What he said was a little absent-minded, as if we were talking and laughing all the way, and he was in front of him.
What's on Gu's mind?
I was really curious, so I turned my head to Baili and said, "Brother Baili, you go to the barracks to clean up first, and I'll be there in a while." He handed over the wooden box in his hand to He Yun, and followed Nagu into the courtyard.
Nagu said he wanted to bring me something, but instead of the attic where he lived, he went to the one on the left. On the stairs, the ancient one pushed open the wooden door of the attic, and the smell of herbs came to my face, and I looked around in the attic behind him, only to see that this attic looked like a second floor from the outside, but there was only one floor built inside, and the area was extremely empty.
This attic is supposed to be the ancient herb house. I thought about it, and walked in, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw that the attic was lined with curved wooden frames along the corner of the wall, and the wooden frames were connected end to end, and there were layers of layers around the attic, and the shelves were full of all kinds of glass round jars inside and out, which contained many kinds of herbs. In addition, nearly 100 bamboo baskets hang from the top of the attic, and the baskets are full of colorful plants, hanging above us like a loam in the air.
This kind of costume is very exquisite, and I can't help but be amazed when I look at it. If it weren't for the fact that it was an attic, I would almost have thought I was walking into a cave garden. The glass jars on the shelves around are all filled with liquid, and I don't know what kind of liquid it is, and most of the soaking in it are the corpses of unknown animals, I walked slowly all the way, and none of them have ever seen it, there is a glass jar containing an insect that looks like tea ears, the body is crooked, the eyes, mouth and nose are there, and the lower body has four limbs and legs, floating in the glass bottle and swaying, like a living thing. There is also a glass jar in which the contents are also very peculiar, it seems to be a very thin leopard tail, but at the end of the tail there is a mouth full of fangs, which is quite hideous, and I don't know what species it is.
Such a dazzling array of bottles and cans is almost comparable to that of Zabal's cave house. I looked around. There are also such glass bottles and jars in Zabal's cave mansion, which are also soaked in medicinal liquid, but in terms of quantity, the bottles and jars here in Nagu are much less than those in Zabal.
I was looking at it, and Nagu in front of me suddenly said, "This pharmacy was specially prepared for me by Master Kang." ”
Nagu had now walked to a round table in the middle of the attic. Probably seeing my thoughts, he was supporting the desk with one hand, looking at the bamboo basket in the air with some emotion.
I walked a few steps quickly and said with a smile: "It seems that Master Kang also takes good care of Mr., and the herbs in this building are all rare and strange." ”
Na Gu sighed slightly, but his eyes were still looking at the bamboo basket, and said, "What's the use of taking care of it, isn't it still in exchange for his life." ”
What he said was really a little inexplicable, and I couldn't help but wonder again, and I couldn't help but say, "Sir, what's the matter? Why are you always sad?"
Nagu looked down at me. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Gu, I'm a little out of shape." ”
