Such a resolute and resolute way to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys. Even Wei Li, who first served as the commander of the Ouchi Secret Guard, and then became the ruthless role of the Lord of the First Rudder of the Clan, couldn't help but feel a little furious in his heart. That section of the cloud building even dodged and ran outside the Leng Toad Palace, and I don't know if she went out to vomit or went to breathe.

However, the shopkeeper Yi smiled and said: "This should not have been said in the next place, but today it is in place of the helmsman of the mountain, so there is a sentence that must be asked clearly." ”

Dong Ping said: "Please speak." ”

The shopkeeper Yi said: "Dong Yuma's status is noble, and it is reasonable to serve as the chief helmsman of the Fu clan, but this is not a trivial matter, dare to ask the prince before he died, can he give the master of the horse a letter or other appointment certificate?"

"Certificate?" Dong Pingman smiled nonchalantly: "There are quite a lot of pen and ink letters left by the prince in the palace, if I want to follow Duan Xijiu to forge a fake letter, it will be easy." But I won't do such a thing and don't bother to do it. The prince was already hanging by a thread before he died, so he only gave me a verbal explanation. What I have come to say to you today is what the prince said before he died. Shopkeeper Yi can doubt me, but he can't doubt the prince. ”

Shopkeeper Yi smiled after hearing this: "I see, I understand." Then I will take the place of the helmsman of the mountain to make a statement, and I will resolutely support the master of the horse as the new chief helmsman of the clan. Dong Ping was a little surprised when he heard this, and the shopkeeper Yi first asked menacingly, but he easily believed his words. Dong Ping smiled, he knew that this shopkeeper was making a step for him.

"Lord Guard, I'd like to hear what you think. ”

Wei Li said lightly: "I, Wei Li, am not confident that my head is harder than that of the Mei helmsman, as long as it complies with the rules, no matter who is the chief helmsman, I don't care." ”

After Wei Li said that, Duan Yunlou walked back with a pale face. Dong Ping jumped on the toad's back and said with a straight face: "Since the three helmsmen have no objections, then this matter is settled." I, Dong Ping, from now on, will be the chief helmsman of the Clan. But I can't stay for a long time in the north, and in the south, the 100,000 army that the prince hid before his death is still a big trouble for the Song court. As expected, the holy decree that summoned me to Beijing has now been sent to Chengdu. Even if I don't tear my face, I still have to go to Lin'an. But I'm not here, and the Lops are still going to run as usual. So I gave the first order as the helmsman. ”

As soon as Dong Ping's words fell, Shopkeeper Yi took the lead and knelt down, and then Wei Li, Duan Yunlou and others also knelt down in turn. Seeing this, Dong Ping nodded, and he said: "I am the chief helmsman of the Clan, and it is inconvenient to spread it, so the people in the Leng Toad Palace today can know about it." Although Master Mei Helm is extremely evil, he is also a veteran, so there is no need to tell the world what he has done. But the five-element rudder can't be left without an owner for a day, and the new five-element rudder master will let Duan Saijiu serve as the one. Today's performance of Duan Sacrificial Wine is also in your eyes, and she is fully capable of being a good master of the Five Elements Helm. ”

When Duan Yunlou heard this, he was slightly stunned.

Dong Ping was still talking: "Most of the foundation of the Fu clan is in Beimang, and the prince is eloquent, so he can strategize and win thousands of miles away." I think I am not as good as the prince, if I go to Lin'an in the future, when I can't dispatch some situations in the clan in time, then I will have full authority to take care of the helm, but I can cut it first and then play. Before Dong Ping's words fell, he heard Duan Yunlou say: "Since the chief helmsman wants to keep it secret, then the other people in this cave ......" Before he wanted to speak, the meaning of his words was already very clear.

Dong Ping smiled and said, "With Han Taizhong and Gong Rui here, Master Duan Helm doesn't need to worry too much. ”

Han Taizhong said lightly: "These people don't have much perseverance, they only need a little means, and they can never suffer in the future." ”

Dong Ping nodded after hearing this: "This is very good." The matter has been explained, please take the helmsman. Today's farewell, I don't know what year and month it will be when we meet again, I just hope that you can remember the teachings of the prince before his death, recuperate, and seek great things in the future!"

"Subordinates obey!"

The snow is still falling.

Looking at the vast expanse in front of him, Duan Yunlou smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, you have really been stained with the light of a woman in your life. ”

Dong Ping said lightly: "Then why don't you say that those women are lucky and have a good husband on me." ”

Duan Yunlou sneered helplessly: "This is not necessarily, none of the women who followed you will end well." For the sake of you, my cousin has endured humiliation for many years, and has struggled to support the mess in Zhou Wangfu, not only did she not live a good life, but she also exhausted half of her life's hard work. And the ugly girl who was in Jackdaw City last time, maybe she has already been abandoned by you at this time. I also heard that the eldest lady of the Shangguan family was delayed for life just because of a flirtation when you were young. ”

Dong Ping didn't mean to defend when he heard this, he smiled and said, "Your news is well-informed and scary. If you want to talk about it, you can only blame me for hitting the crow's nest with this broom star, and I am looking for bad luck. ”

"When you go to Lin'an this time, will you go to recognize my cousin?"

"It's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes. What is the benefit of recognizing each other, not only is it not half comforting, but it will make people more troubled. ”

Duan Yunlou rubbed his hands and said with emotion: "If you had known that you had this in mind, then I would have killed you when I was in the Northern City." ”

Dong Ping smiled and said, "It's a good thing you didn't do that, otherwise you wouldn't have survived today." By the way, there's one more thing I want to ask you. Where did you get the little nun in the nunnery outside the northern city, I once picked up the waist card of the Zhou Wangfu in the nunnery. ”

Hearing this, Duan Yunlou smiled slyly and said, "I just sent a letter to my cousin that day, and I told my cousin to go to the northern border to pick up a little nun. As long as he held the little nun in his hand, the brother-in-law would go home. Brother-in-law, if you really care about the whereabouts of that little nun, go to King Zhou's Mansion to find your cousin. ”

"Well, a woman, if she dies, she dies. ”

Duan Yunlou was stunned, her face changed slightly, and she shouted, "Chai Guanshan, when did you become so hard-hearted?"

Dong Ping smiled and said: "My heart has always been harder than iron and stone. That's all for now, it's not too early, it's time to go. Han Taizhong and Gong Rui, I will stay with you......"

Before Dong Ping finished speaking, Duan Yunlou interrupted him and said, "Don't worry, I don't need their protection." ”

Dong Ping chuckled when he heard this: "You have a twist now, leaving the two of them by your side is to spy on you." I know you're full of minds, and you're always doing amazing things. But don't come nonsense, or don't blame me for not thinking about the past. ”

After hearing this, Duan Yunlou felt that the cold wind blew deep into the bone marrow.

For seven days, the snow on the eaves of Lin'an Street has melted. Drops of water flow into the brick and stone collection ditches and into the city's wide river, where huge painting boats swim through.

Chai Yanqing, who had been grounded for several months, sneaked out into the street again, he was like a lively young beast, wandering happily in Lin'an City every three autumns when he didn't see him on this day. Naturally, passers-by are afraid to avoid this gentleman. Therefore, within three feet of Chai Yanqing's body and the left side of his body, they were all empty.

Chai Yanqing was also happy, he held his head high, squinted his eyes, and walked with great strides, a picture of the arrogant appearance of Lao Tzu in heaven and earth. But suddenly, a gust of wind blew past him, and he blew Chai Yanqing on the spot.

After Chai Yanqing hurriedly stabilized his figure, he turned around and scolded: "Damn, you don't have long eyes when you walk!"

At this time, two tall horses stopped behind him, and a rider turned around and smiled: "Master, you have long eyes, but your eyes are born on the top of your head, and you don't see two horses rushing over." ”

Chai Yanqing frowned and said, "You are a one-eyed blind man, and you don't have a good look, who are you talking to!"

Another rider turned his head and said lightly: "It doesn't matter how many eyes there are, the key is to have a bright heart." ”

Seeing this person, Chai Yanqing was moved, he was stunned for a moment and then waved his hand and said, "Damn, bad luck, I went out and ran into a ghost." With that, he turned his head and walked on his own.

The pedestrians were all eye-opening, and they wondered how the second master of Chai, who had always been unreasonable and unreasonable, was obviously reasonable today, so he was inexplicably soft.

Lin Sanchuan said with a smile: "Is it possible that this gentleman in Lin'an City is all this virtue?"

Dong Ping smiled: "This is not bad. ”

Lin Sanchuan couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, he thought to himself, this is all good, how bad should it be. I thought about it, but I couldn't figure it out, so I simply didn't think about it. He said: "Childe, since we have come to Lin'an City, should we go back to Chengdu?"

Dong Ping teased: "As the saying goes, a little don't win a newlywed." But if you don't have it for a long time, it will become a clear soup with no oil and salt. What's the matter, you don't want the delicate daughter-in-law at home to be with that cheap son?"

Lin Sanchuan's face was ashamed, and he said: "This is not a daughter-in-law who has not worshiped heaven and earth." ”

"Well, let you go back and worship heaven and earth. After the family affairs are settled, it is not too late to come to Lin'an. After that, Dong Ping waved his horsewhip and shouted: "Drive!"

The two horses roared away, and in the long river, a thousand sails had passed.

Chai Yanqing knew that in the blooming of thousands of seas, his good girls have now become Jiang Ciyu's eyeliner. He took advantage of Jiang Cishu to go to the palace today and sneaked out. If he goes to the ten thousand seas and flowers bloom, maybe he will return to the palace, and he will be stripped of a layer of skin.

So he took a seat in a secluded tavern, which smelled sour from top to bottom. Most of the people who come to eat and rest in this tavern are poor laborers. The reason why they came here is because the tavern is cheap to eat, and two copper coins can eat a full stomach. If you're lucky, you might even take a sip of wine.

And Chai Yanqing seems to be a regular customer here, and the laborers who eat in the tavern saw Chai Yanqing coming, and they all greeted him enthusiastically. Chai Yanqing replied casually in despair, and after he sat down at an empty table, the little second said, "Second master, what do you want to eat today?"

Chai Yanqing said lightly: "It doesn't matter what you eat, it depends on who you eat." The old rule is to have a few dishes for a few people. ”

"Gotcha!"

Chai Yanqing is here to meet friends today, Chai Yanqing has a lot of friends on his face, but there are only a few who can make friends in this broken tavern.

A short time later, a man in ragged clothes with a sword walked into the tavern. It may not be called a sword, but it seems more appropriate to call it a piece of rusty iron that is about to rot. Although the man was unkempt, his eyes were bursting with a cold light. When he entered the restaurant, he looked around and frightened the diners. The man sat down opposite Chai Yanqing, and at the same time, Xiao Er also brought the first dish, which was a West Lake vinegar fish.

This man is Chai Yanqing's first friend. And his profession is a swordsman. In Lin'an, the most certain are the rich businessmen and high-ranking officials, who are most afraid of death. Therefore, hiring guards has become a common practice in Lin'an. In a dark alley in Lin'an Dong City, there are many warriors who sell themselves as goods. And in that alley, the man with the piece of rusty iron was the most famous one. Nothing else, just because this man is funny and scary. He marked himself with a value of 100,000 taels of silver, but it was rumored that he did not have any martial arts on him. Raising one's own value, he has become a laughing stock. And this man also waited for a good sword to rot, and he didn't find a customer who thought he would be willing to hire him.

Gurun, is his name.

Not long after Gu Run sat down, a young man with his belly about to fall to the ground and a smile in his eyes entered the store. As soon as the man entered, he made a very polite gesture, and he honestly clasped his fists and saluted the whole store, and gave everyone a few taels of silver. After worshipping, he sat down next to Chai Yanqing. At this time, Xiao Er served the second dish, drunk shrimp.

This man is Chai Yanqing's second friend, and his background is big. His father is General Yunlu from Sanpin. Don't look at the three products in Lin'an, the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty, they can't be ranked, but they can be in charge of the guards of Lin'an City and the Da Nei Palace, but they have real military power. Moreover, it is in the hands of the military power near Lin'an, and its status can be imagined. And this pot-bellied young man is named Song Chengjun. Don't look at him polite, even a little low. But the children of Lin'an's eunuchs all know that this is a smiling tiger. As soon as Song Chengjun sat down, he smiled and said, "Second brother, it's really strange to see your sad face. ”

Song Chengjun opened his mouth and called Chai Yanqing very affectionately as the second brother, just because his father was Jiang Qinzhou's confidant, and Song Chai and Chai had been friends since childhood.

Chai Yanqing came back to his senses and said: "It's not strange that you say it's strange, today on the street, I look like I've seen the boss." ”

Song Chengjun shook his head and smiled after hearing this: "Second brother, you're dazzled." It's been a lot of years since the boss died, and I haven't seen you think of the boss very much, so it's really strange to be here today. Could it be that you were scared by your sister-in-law and wanted the boss to come back and call the shots for you. ”

After listening to this short talk, Chai was tired of Qingqing, and he had already started fighting Song Chengjun. But at this time, he is unusual, wilting.

"It's not rumored that Chai Guanshan didn't die three years ago, but he became a deserter and hid incognito. According to his virtues, this kind of thing is not unusual. ”

Hearing what Chai Yanqing said, Song Chengjun also frowned and pondered, and after a while, he asked, "Where did you see Uncle?"

Chai Yanqing said: "On the street when I came, I met two people riding horses. I looked at a man on horseback, and his eyes were a little similar to Chai Guan Mountain. ”

Song Chengjun shrugged his shoulders after hearing this, and said noncommittally: "Let's have a drink." ”

Gu Run was silently eating and drinking, and he didn't mean to talk to Chai Song and the others at all. Song Chengjun looked at him and smiled: "I said that you can be a guard for me, isn't it 100,000 taels of silver, for the sake of the second brother, I will give it to you." ”

Gu Run's face was cold, ignoring Song Chengjun's stubble. Song Chengjun touched his nose and couldn't help cursing in a low voice. Chai Yanqing saw that Song Chengjun was deflated, and laughed. To say that although Song Chengjun and Gu Run are both friends of Chai Yanqing, they have their own friends. Gu Run is Chai Yanqing's friend, but he is not Song Chengjun's friend.

Chai Yanqing said with a smile: "Gu Run, if you give him a guard, he will definitely not be able to treat you badly." Why are you begging for food in that alley? ”

Gu Run said lightly: "The one who is a confidant dies." ”

When Chai Yanqing heard this, he asked, "He is willing to spend money to hire you, isn't he your confidant?"

"He's not, he's a leech, he's a pig. ”

"I'll your grandma!" Song Chengjun stood up with a "poof", he picked up the sea bowl of wine in front of him, and wanted to smash Gu Run's head.

Chai Yanqing hurriedly stopped Song Chengjun and said: "It's true that he is a leech, but which official is not a leech? ”

When Gu Run heard this, he drank with his head down and did not comment.

Song Chengjun sat down with a belly full of fire and said angrily: "Second brother, you said that it took thousands of years for such a thing to come out?"

Chai Yanqing smiled: "I think Gu Run is not an ordinary person. ”

"Bullshit!" Song Chengjun muttered, then wrapped the spout of the wine jug and took a sip of old wine. When this old wine entered his throat, half of his anger was gone.

In a blink of an eye, he laughed again: "Second brother, I heard that you were rectified by Wan Cripple a few days ago?"

When Chai Yanqing heard this, his face turned pale: "What, you also want to humiliate me with this?"

Song Chengjun hurriedly said: "Eh, where do I dare to do this!, but according to your temper, second brother, you should have beaten back a long time ago." I didn't hear any movement. ”

Chai Yanqing said lightly: "Tell you, I was going to burn down the Wan Mansion! But that Wan Yiqi came to the door in advance to give me three bows and nine knocks to compensate for the drunkenness, I wanted to be forgiving and forgiving, so I endured this breath." ”

Song Chengjun smiled, and did not tear down the face that Chai Yanqing was holding up. After glancing around, he approached Chai Yanqing and said, "I have a way to do a good job of the ten thousand Qiwei, and I don't need the second brother to make a move." ”

When Chai Yanqing heard this, he became interested, and he smiled: "Let's hear it." ”

Song Chengjun stretched out four round fingers and said, "With this, the ten thousand lame people will be carried in our hands." ”
