Chapter 13 Embroidered spring clothes are dusty
The veteran ruffian looked up at the steel knife and said with feeling: "The famous one is not the knife, but the person who wields the knife." Two hundred years ago, when the Iron Cavalry marched westward, there was a detachment of 5,000 people who forcibly crossed the Weishui. At that time, the first was the left battalion of Youzhou Xiuchun Wei, five hundred heroes took this knife in their mouths, braved the rain of arrows to cross the boat, and finally died together with the captain of Xiuchun and the captain of the left battalion. ”
"Well, this is what the upper link is talking about, right?
Zhang Baotai continued: "The rebellion of the king of Xianger, eroding Xiangzhou, happened to enter the right battalion of Xiuchunwei of the Weijing Division to the south to quell the rebellion, under the leadership of a captain surnamed Yan, the captain who was ordered to rush into battle alone and kill nearly a thousand, Xiuchunwei right battalion 500 people followed, withstood the most fierce counterattack of the rebels, only 11 remnants were left afterwards, and Xiuchunwei was removed. ”
Yang Xiongji also sighed when he heard this: "Poor Ningqing Riverside bones, like a person in a spring boudoir dream." ”
Liu Tugou didn't have so many feelings, looked at Zhang Baotai and asked: "Since the embroidered spring knife is so famous, and now even a restaurant can be used as a decoration, why is it a flash in the pan?"
"At that time, this knife was a new system, only equipped with Xiuchun Yiwei and did not name it, as a result, Xiuchun Wei was quickly wiped out, although this knife was sharp, but no one was willing to use it, and it became a unique sound. It is also rumored that it involved court battles, and the specific reason has been lost to the wind and smoke of the years. Don't look at these knives as bright as new, in fact, they are all old things, and if you look closely, you can find many gaps made by sword slashing. ”
Zhang Baotai pointed to the hundreds of knives in front of him and sighed: "More than 1,000 heroic soldiers died in other places, most of the bones were buried on the spot, and those who had relatives and friends in the army also transported the ashes back to their hometowns. Only these hundreds of embroidered spring knives that have not been broken were sent back to Youzhou along with some armor, which was originally to set up a mound of thousands of people, but for some reason it was not done, and finally all of them were thrown into the dust in the arsenal. It was the owner here who came to build this nameless restaurant that was privately called Xiuchun Clothes and Dust Tomb ten years ago. Youzhou people are still martial arts and respect heroes, this somewhat out-of-the-ordinary restaurant not only does not have a door to be crowded, but has become a very famous place, often people spend a lot of money to ask for an embroidered spring knife and can not get. ”
Liu Tugou suddenly became interested in the murderous restaurant in front of him, glanced at Yang Xiongji, and stepped in together.
The furnishings in the restaurant are exactly the same as the hundreds of embroidered spring knives under the eaves, which can be called rough and uncrafted.
There is no elegant embellishment such as calligraphy, painting, literature and play, but a huge drum is placed flat in the main hall, the wide drum surface is enough for several people to dance, and there is a circle of ordinary iron drums in addition to the giant drum.
Behind the drum is not the usual restaurant counter, but a huge wooden shelf. It extends from the floor to the ceiling, and the wall is not visible.
There are many complete or mutilated helmets in countless recesses on the wooden frame, and there is even an incense table in front of the wooden frame, burning an incense burner.
The counter is located under the east wall, and there is also a huge wooden frame on the west side, and the lattice is full of large and small wine jars with various bright vintages, which finally has the appearance of a restaurant.
The lobby was already full of people at the moment, pushing cups and changing lamps, calling friends, mostly military men wearing fiery red robes, as well as some flat-headed people and a few Hu merchants with very different appearances from the Zhou people.
The language is noisy and lively.
It's just that after the second master and his party entered the door, the sound gradually became low. Many soldiers who saw Zhang Baotai stood up respectfully, and some wanted to come up to salute, but as soon as they glanced at the arrogance of the young man in sackcloth and the man carrying the halberd beside Mrs. Zhang, they stopped their interest.
The shopkeeper greeted the door, but he was only thirty or forty years old, and his body was straight, and he arched his hand and said: "Old lady Zhang, the hero pavilion on the third floor has been cleaned up, please." ”
Zhang Baotai glanced at him and said with a gentle smile: "I heard that the leader of the Gongsun League is also in Shuofang, but he has always been on the side, but he looks down on my old bones?"
The shopkeeper's face remained unchanged, and he replied: "The owner said that all the expenses of Mrs. Zhang are counted as his, and there is a sword dancing lady who has just graduated from the building and is just dancing to entertain the distinguished guests." ”
Zhang Baotai smiled even more when he heard this: "Oh, just look at this small restaurant, you can know that there are indeed capable people under the seat of the Gongsun League, and they can always come out of the way." ”
He turned to Liu Tugou and Yang Xiongji, and said: "The two must have heard of the name of the leader of the Green Forest Gongsun Alliance in the Northern Four Prefectures, he was born in Jianzhou, he naturally understands swords, and the several sets of sword dances created casually are already extraordinary, and today he has a blessing for his eyes." ”
Liu Tugou was really annoyed by this veteran ruffian who had a lot of eyes, especially the old ruffian who liked to fan the flames, since he had already accepted his own concessions, why did he come here?
The second master was not in a hurry, he looked up, the first floor and the second floor were opened up and down, and the second floor was divided into more than a dozen compartments along the verandah railing, and the door could be opened to clearly see the scene of the lobby. Except for the scene on the third floor of the staircase, you can't see it at all, and that kind of private private room doesn't have to go through the lobby to enter.
The veteran ruffian didn't say anything before entering the door, and he really had a heartbeat!
Seeing that the young man in Mai in front of him suddenly grinned happily, the old god was inexplicably sudden in Zhang Baotai's heart.
I only heard the second master smile and said: "What kind of heroes are we, I think it's good on the second floor, why don't that sword dancing lady dance on this drum, so that the big guys can have fun?"
The voice was not loud, but it was enough to spread throughout the lobby where there were only whispers, and at that moment, a good person shouted: "Childe's kindness, I will thank you!"
There was a burst of joy.
Taking advantage of this time, Yang Xiongji stabbed Second Brother Liu and said in a low voice: "Since we have received General Shuofang's letter, we should make a choice, and we can't please all parties." ”
Liu Tugou nodded slightly, and suddenly realized in his heart: "This is going to be a vote." ”
After all, his own family is nominally a pawn of the Murong clan, and his first contact with General Shuofang and Daqimen is not harmonious.
It's no wonder that Chang Zhaoqing turned around and left after two sentences, and Zhang Baotai took the trouble to try again and again.
Thinking about it carefully, Liu Tugou's mentality was not correct for a while, and he was still in the mood of a passer-by when he was in Yue County, and he didn't care too much about the consequences when he spoke and did things.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant changed color on his face, and said lukewarmly: "The sword dancing lady is an anonymous disciple of the owner, not an ordinary singing and dancing girl. ”
Before Zhang Baotai could speak, Yang Xiongji had already taken the first step to stare at him.
This guy doesn't care who the shopkeeper's words are aimed at, and when he heard the other party's dog-eyed words, he immediately became angry, and pressed the big iron halberd down, and the tip of the blade was only separated from the other party's neck: "What's the matter, when you become a, you still want to set up an archway? Who is this looking down on?"
The shopkeeper of the restaurant was pale, and he was silent at the moment.
At this point, there is no speculation, all parties are a little difficult to ride the tiger, and the battle of will in the rivers and lakes is about the same, starting from the end of the slightest, watered by blood, and bearing the fruit of hatred.
Yang Xiongji's anger is naturally half-true and half-false, and Liu Tugou does not blame him for his self-determination, since he has realized his own weight, he has been tempted by the veteran ruffian, in fact, the second master also has the idea of taking the opportunity to try the depths.
Feeling the dark tide surging in the lobby, Liu Tugou couldn't help but chuckle and said: "Lao Zhang, you are not authentic, there are many such twists and turns, no wonder you stop moving forward in this realm." However, the second master dislikes to owe favors the most in his life, and he has to deceive people today. ”
He looked at the shopkeeper of the restaurant again, and said apologetically: "My brother is a little reckless, but his words are not rough, if you can invite the sword dancing lady to show her skills, you will naturally be happy." ”
