Just after the New Year, Chang'an City, which had been silent for a while, regained its vitality.

With only three months to go before the quadrennial martial arts conference, young people from all over the world who are interested in martial arts come to Chang'an in advance to familiarize themselves with the environment, make friends, or secretly observe potential opponents.

The first to be lively is the east and west cities.

There are many inns, restaurants, brothels in the east and west cities, and there are many shops and weapons shops, which is a good place to set up camp.

At this moment, the trio walked on the streets of the West Market, stopping and admiring the bustling liveliness of the streets.

"Brother Xun, Minglun, don't you think the three of us are like a combination?" Li Wuchang casually asked Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun beside him, and he was in a very good mood when he heard the tone.

It was Li Wuchang's idea to visit the West Market today, relax his mood, and by the way, see what business is good to do, making a fortune is a small ambition he set not long ago.

Hearing Li Wuchang's question, Zhao Jiang and the others were a little strange.

Li Wuchang smiled and said: "I, a typical second ancestor, Ming Lun, is like a gold medal fighter by the side of the second ancestor, as for Brother Xun, he is well-informed and eccentric, but like a dog-headed military advisor." ”

All three of them were mocked by him.

Zhao Xun laughed and said: "You consider yourself the second ancestor, it is estimated that many people in Chang'an City will not object, you say that I am a dog-headed military master, I am also deeply honored, but Minglun is a bit condescending to be a gold medal fighter, he wants to shine in the martial arts conference." ”

Jiang Minglun said seriously: "Gold medal fighter, not bad...... A fight with the Jiangyang thieves!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Wuchang and Zhao Xun both laughed.

Li Wuchang and Zhao Xun were originally people who liked to play tricks, but Jiang Minglun was a person who was quite disciplined, and sometimes he would seem to be one-size-fits-all, but after getting along for many days, he was influenced by Li Wuchang and Zhao Xun, and occasionally popped up a joke or two.

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "By the way, Minglun, you are familiar with Xishi, what good restaurant is worth visiting for our second ancestor." ”

Zhao Xun and Li Wuchang both live in the east of the city, and their activities on weekdays are mostly near the East Market, and they are not familiar with the West Market.

Jiang Minglun thought for a while and said: "There is a Longmen restaurant that is good, it is opened by the Guo family, the layout is good, the wine and food are also passable, many scholars and knights like to patronize it, go there, I will treat you this time." ”

Alas, why not call it Longmen Inn, it's really a failure.

Li Wuchang silently muttered the name of the restaurant, and laughed in his heart.

Zhao Xun pondered for a moment and said, "Carp leaping over the dragon gate, good name!"

Longmen Restaurant is really extraordinary, there is a big stage in the middle, used for storytelling or various performances, surrounded by tables,

Clean and elegant.

There are also well-laid out cubicles, where you can sit and drink and chat without being disturbed by outsiders, and you can watch the performance in the middle.

Li Wuchang and the three of them, led by the guys, came to a compartment on the second floor, and Zhao Xun casually rewarded the guys and asked him to serve the good wine and food as soon as possible.

There was a young man on the middle stage talking about the prince of Chang'an City.

“...... Just now, let's talk about the five sons of Chang'an in detail, and then let's talk about other famous sons......"

The person who spoke was the celebrity of Longmen Restaurant, Hu Erniu, a descendant of the Guo family, who called himself "Chang'an Tong", which means that he knows a little bit about the affairs of Chang'an City.

The Guo family saw that he was clever, so they arranged for him to be a buddy in the Longmen Restaurant in Xishi, and this guy occasionally made a cameo as a storyteller to tell some anecdotes about Chang'an City, which was also very popular.

In recent days, young knights from other places often come to the restaurant to drink together, and Hu Erniu took the opportunity to talk about the celebrities in Chang'an City who are going to participate in the martial arts conference.

Just finished talking about the "Five Sons of Chang'an", the young knights who came to drink felt that their knowledge had increased greatly, and asked Hu Erniu to talk about some other celebrities.

“...... In addition to the fifth son, the eldest son of Grandpa Han's family, Han Dade, this son-in-law is a rare all-rounder, but he is low-key, like Grandpa Han, everyone knows it, the placement of the victims this time is personally watched by Grandpa Han, he is really a good official......"

When everyone heard this, they all sighed with emotion, and said words of admiration in their mouths.

"The martial arts of this Han Dade son are not low, it is said that he is not under the fifth son, everyone should have a score in their hearts!"

Hearing that Han Dade's martial arts were so high, everyone exclaimed again, at the level of the fifth prince, wouldn't this Han Dagongzi also have the strength close to the seventh grade?

Wupin can be called a first-class master, and if you go out, you can pull a small gang, and it is even more amazing if you are at the peak of the sixth grade or even the seventh pin.

Oh my God, Chang'an City is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, this Han Dade is usually inconspicuous, and he is not famous in Chang'an City, but he has such ability.

Maybe there are still some bulls hidden in the shadows, ready to jump at the martial arts conference, this is the idea in the hearts of all young knights, and at the same time, they feel pressure.

Hu Erniu saw that his remarks calmed everyone, and he was proud in his heart, and pressed his hand to calm everyone down.

Everyone immediately quieted down and waited for Hu Erniu to continue.

"There are not a few sons and daughters who are skilled in martial arts, they are all elite children of various big families in Chang'an City, I won't say more, all the young heroes are here to participate in the martial arts conference this time, and they will see it in a short time, now I will talk about the sons who don't know martial arts. ”

"What is there to say about not knowing martial arts?" Someone immediately objected, after all, they came to Chang'an to participate in the martial arts conference, of course, they wanted to know more about how deep the water in Chang'an City was.

Hu Erniu glared at them and said, "You can't say that, if there is a son who doesn't know martial arts and has been rewarded by His Majesty, do you think he has the ability?"

Oh, and what else is there?, and the people wondered.

"Who is he?" someone asked.

Hu Erniu continued: "His reputation is much greater than the Han Dade just mentioned, and everyone may have heard of him, he is Li Wuchang, the fourth prince of the Praetorian Guard's Commanding Mansion. ”

Rumble!

The scene exploded all at once.

"What are you talking about, Li Wuchang? Although I haven't been in Chang'an City for a long time, I've heard of his great name, and I've heard that he is a second ancestor who specializes in making trouble. ”

"Yes, I heard that he is a stunned young man, nicknamed Li Er. ”

"How can such a person be rewarded by His Majesty, you are not mistaken. ”

"Is that the son of the Li family who offended His Royal Highness not long ago and was beaten by His Royal Highness?"

"Hmph, this kind of person who relies on the power of the family and is domineering, sooner or later someone will clean him up, in addition to him, there is also a person named Han Dasha, who is not a good person. ”

......

In the private room, Li Wuchang was dumbfounded, looking at the boiling scene, he couldn't cry or laugh, his reputation was really ...... It stinks.

Zhao Xun's stomach hurt with laughter, he picked up the wine glass and winked at Li Wuchang, and said, "Come, Second Ancestor, little brother will give you a glass." ”

When Jiang Minglun heard these remarks, he glanced at Li Wuchang and found that Li Wuchang didn't care at all, he still looked light-hearted, and admired it in his heart.

Li Wuchang's pampered and unfazed temperament is much stronger than many so-called sons.

Hu Erniu looked at the chaotic scene and said with a smile: "Listen to the little brother first, it is said that this Li Wuchang son cured General Zhou Sheng's illness not long ago, do you think it is a big skill, should Your Majesty reward it?"

Li Wuchang cured Zhou Sheng's illness and received a reward from His Majesty, which was originally only known to a few people, and Hu Erniu also overheard his son-in-law Guo Yunlei mention it, so he used it to brag today.

As soon as these words came out, everyone made a louder noise.

"What, you said that General Zhou's illness was cured by him?"

"Didn't you say that Song God healed him, how could it be him?"

"Doctor Song seems to have wandered...... But it can't be him?"

"If it is true that he cured General Zhou's illness, it is justified to receive His Majesty's reward. ”

"I've heard that he can't read all the words, so how can he know how to do medicine? ”

......

"Don't guess, someone Su can testify, what this little brother said is true, General Zhou was indeed cured by the son of Li Wuchang. ”

After a long time of arguing, a young man dressed in white got up and whispered, and the sound accurately spread to every corner of the restaurant.

As soon as these words came out, the hall immediately fell silent, and it seemed that this young man still had some prestige.

Jiang Minglun frowned and said, "What a deep internal strength!"

Zhao Xun said: "The son of the Su family in Jiangnan, Su Ming." ”

The Su family is a martial arts family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the current helmsman Su Han, a beginner master of the nine grades, a peerless swordsman, Su Ming is Su Han's nephew, and this time he came to participate in the martial arts conference and is regarded as one of the strongest opponents of the "Five Sons of Chang'an".

"Since Brother Su has said so, it seems to be true, I would like to see that Li Gongzi to see if his medical skills are really so magical. Another voice rang out, from upstairs, a young man in blue.

The voice is soft, but it sounds like a faint stinging ear, which shows that this person's internal strength should not be underestimated.

Li Wuchang said with emotion: "Another master, Brother Xun, do you know?"

Zhao Xun took a closer look at the blue-clothed young man and said, "It should be an elite child of the Xiangyang Hanshui Gang, you see that he has a small boat logo on his shoulder, which is the symbol of the Hanshui Gang." ”

Jiang Minglun interjected: "Zhu Changxing, the youngest son of the leader of the Hanshui Gang, has been in the limelight in the west of the city recently, and I heard that his martial arts have reached the middle level of the sixth grade, and he is good at distinguishing poison. ”

The gangs in Xiangyang City are strong, and the Hanshui Gang is a first-class gang.

Li Wuchang said with a smile: "It is said that the Hanshui Gang is full of talents, it seems that what is said is true, just a young gang leader came, just dragged it like this, if there is an elder hall master or something, then it will be okay?"

Zhao Xun sighed: "This year's martial arts conference is indeed more attractive than before, in addition to the local sons of Chang'an, there are also Jiangnan factions headed by Su Ming, Xiangyang factions dominated by gangs such as the Hanshui Gang and Tianluo Gang, and the garrison areas of Taiyuan and Luoyang also have a lot of elites, the Shu faction represented by the prince of Shu, and the famous big families in the nine major states have sent elite children of the family. ”

After a pause, he continued: "It should be the Martial Arts Pavilion that attracted them, it is said that this time the imperial court will increase the number of places to enter the Martial Arts Pavilion, there will be about thirty, it seems that it is not fake news." ”

Li Wuchang became interested and said, "What is there in the Martial Arts Pavilion that is worth making such a big move?"

Zhao Xun said: "I heard my master say that there are a large number of divine weapons and martial arts secrets in it, these are secondary, and the most important thing is that there are a very small number of pills in it, which are related to the meridians and are worth thousands of gold." ”

"Tuojing Dan?" asked Li Wuchang.

Tuojing Dan is specialized in expanding the meridians, a drug that has been proven to be fueled by seedlings, which is very tricky.

Zhao Xun explained: "It's not the Tuojing Dan, it should be called the Protector Pill, and one will cost about 100,000 taels." ”

So expensive?

Li Wuchang frowned.

Zhao Xun continued: "Since the fifth grade, every product and every order is a bottleneck, if the meridians are not strong enough, every time they break through, they will be extremely dangerous, once the meridians cannot withstand the impact of true qi, they will go crazy, think about it, at this time, there is an elixir to protect your meridians, what is the concept." ”

Jiang Minglun said movingly: "That's really a good thing." Before the sixth grade, every time I broke through, it was just that my whole body was in great pain, and I endured it and passed, but when I broke through the sixth grade, my body almost exploded, and it seems that my meridians are not strong enough and my ability to bear is not enough. ”

I see.

Li Wuchang didn't have much expectation for this Sutra Protector Pill in his heart, because his meridians were already strong enough. It's all because of that strange dream, the whole body of the dream exploded, which lasted for a few hours, and the meridians were expanded to the greatest extent.

Li Wuchang went from the first grade to the fourth grade, and every time he broke through, he was different from ordinary people, and he didn't feel any pain at all.

Li Wuchang muttered: "With so many forces, thirty places are not enough?"

Zhao Xun was very calm, and said: "Haha, Minglun should have a chance, after all, he is a six-rank intermediate strength, when the time comes, we will cheer him on, if we can enter the Martial Arts Pavilion, no matter what we get, it will also be our honor." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Fortunately, the imperial court has strict rules that those selected by the Martial Arts Conference to enter the Martial Arts Pavilion must be young people with amazing potential, and they must be under the age of twenty-five, otherwise Ming Lun will not have any chances." ”

In this case, there are really more monks and less porridge.
