Volume 1 Wisdom Fighting the Capital Chapter 28, Distributing the Flat Boat

Xu Wuzhi stayed in Xingdaofang for a day, but there was not half a copper coin in his account.

Fortunately, the two meat buns donated by the lady of the bun shop finally let him survive the day.

He has been starving since he was a child, and at this time, a little setback did not discourage him.

"It's just that the second brother in the inn has a monstrous appetite, and he is seriously injured, and he is hungry for a day today, how can he withstand it?!"

Thinking of this, he was worried about the disease, he went out of Xingdaofang, and walked aimlessly all the way, even if he racked his brains, there was still no way.

"Useless is a scholar, the words of the ancients, as they say......"

Xu Wuxi couldn't help but sigh to the sky, but unconsciously, he saw himself and wandered in front of the door of Deyue Tower.

Nadeyue Tower is located in the main square of Chang'an City Road, and it is very spacious and magnificent. Now it's the time of day, the lights in Chang'an City are on, the lights in the restaurant are shining, the figures are crowded, and it is more lively than in the daytime, and the fragrance of wine and meat wafts with the wind, causing Xu Wuxian to swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Xu Wuxian turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Alliance leader!"

When I turned around without illness, I saw that the man was about sixty years old, slightly fat, dressed in a gray cloth shirt, full of white beard, and looked familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was......

"Alliance Leader...... Don't you recognize......? The old Yanzhou Mansion Tiger Crane Boxing Qi Wen Zhong. The white-bearded old man Qi Wenzhong clasped his fists and saluted.

Xu Wuxian hurriedly returned the salute and said: "It turned out to be the old man Qi of the head ......of the Tiger Crane Fist of Yanzhou Mansion! It's just that Xu is just a scholar, and the word leader of this alliance will never be mentioned again in the future."

Qi Wenzhong said: "Hey...... Why should the master of the Xu League be too humble? The swordsmanship of the junior brother that day, the heroes present, are obvious to all. That night on the shore of Taihu Lake, everyone regarded you as the leader of the Demon Hunting Alliance, which is not to be doubted......"

Xu Wuxian was waiting to be defended, and Qi Wenzhong couldn't say anything, so he pulled Wuxi's arm and walked towards the Deyue Tower. As he walked, he said: "Today I brought some mountain ginseng mink skins from Yanzhou, and these wild goods have just been handed over to the buyers, and I am planning to taste some wine and food in this Deyue Building, I never thought that I could meet the alliance leader here, as the saying goes, 'nostalgia is not as good as chance encounter', Qi is worried that one person drinks tastelessly, today I met the alliance leader, we two must have a good drink!"

Xu Wuxian was about to excuse himself, but he heard a hollow sound in his abdomen, and he was half-pushed and half-pushed, and entered the Deyue Tower with Qi Wenzhong.

The two of them found a seat in the middle of the lobby of the restaurant, and Qi Wenzhong made a bold move and ordered a table of the hotel's famous dishes, but if compared to that day, the big dishes ordered by Xu Wuxian and Zhu Wuneng were still far behind.

In fact, Qi Wenzhong had already seen that Xu Wuxian looked like a weak scholar, but where was he a martial arts practitioner? ! But on the night of the "Demon Hunting Conference", there was a white-clothed boy who was born like a fairy and called himself "Sha Wujing", and the peerless martial arts he revealed were intimidating to the audience. Since the boy in white has such respect for Xu Wuxian, then the relationship with this "Xu Alliance Master" will not be bad if he gets closer.

Although Qi Wenzhong is in Yanzhou Mansion and is the head of the First Fist Sect, in fact, his martial arts are mediocre, and although his disciples are numerous, most of them are vulgar people. What the entire boxing door relies on for a living is to go south and north, and do business.

That Yanzhou is located in the north of the Qianguo, where the mountains and wilderness are vertical and horizontal, the snow is boundless, there are many ginseng, deer antler, mink, tiger bones and so on. Tiger Crane Boxing was passed on to Qi Wenzhong's generation, and the family was in decline, and the children in the door were withering day by day. Qi Wenzhong had an idea, and seeing that the martial arts industry was not prosperous, he started the idea of a merchant and trafficked those Yanzhou specialties to all parts of Qianguo over a long distance. Unexpectedly, he did not have spiritual roots in martial arts, but he was a good hand in business, and after decades of hard work, the business of the Qi family spread all over the north and south of the river, especially in the capital. Qi Wenzhong is also very bold, in the martial arts but when there is a crisis, he will be generous, if someone passes through Yanzhou to take refuge, he will be hospitality, is the Central Plains martial arts will be popular with his hospitable reputation, secretly give him a nickname, called "Yanbei Meng".

The "Yanbei Meng" Qi Wenzhong, who likes to make friends the most, "caught" Xu Wuxi, the "leader of the Demon Hunting Alliance", today is willing to let go. He held "Fenyang Drunk" in his hand, poured wine for Xu Wuxian one after another, and called "Alliance Leader" and "Young Hero" endlessly, and kept persuading him to drink and eat. Xu Wuzhi is not polite, (I am really hungry in my stomach) I simply did not refuse, for a while, one kept persuading, one only ate, the persuasion of the drinker was also pleasant, and the person who ate ate was happy......

There were two young men sitting at the next table, one wearing a purple robe, the other wearing a moon-white silk shirt, drinking lightly next to them.

The boy in the white shirt was facing Xu Wuxi, and when he saw that he was eating indecently, he felt very funny, and couldn't help but smile. He was facing the son in a purple robe, but he seemed to suddenly remember something, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said:

"Brother Zhang, do you know that in the past few days, there has been a strange thing in our capital?"

"Oh, what is the strange thing?" the white-shirted boy no longer paid attention to Xu Wuxi, and replied.

The purple-robed prince said: "It's the marriage of the eighth prince of the long-lived lord today, the king of Jin!"

The white-shirted boy said: "I have also heard some about this matter, the king of the capital Jin asked for marriage to the Lord of Long Live and wanted to marry the eldest lady of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, Murong Yan......"

The purple-robed prince smiled: "Brother Zhang is really well-informed, but do you know what kind of title King Jin invited this eldest lady?"

The white-shirted boy said: "Brother Li is worthy of being a person in the temple, you know this?!"

The purple-robed prince laughed and said: "My brother works in the Ministry of Rites, and he heard the news from the palace that the King of Jin gave Miss Murong the title of 'princess'!"

The white-shirted boy said curiously: "King Jin actually wants to marry a folk woman and be his side concubine?!"

The purple-robed boy laughed and said, "Brother Zhang, guess ...... again"

The white-shirted boy said, "It won't be the Yuan Concubine, right?"

The purple-robed prince slapped his palms and smiled: "Yes, the King of Jin is going to marry Miss Murong and be his concubine!"

The white-shirted boy obviously didn't believe the purple-robed boy's words, and retorted: "Brother Li, this matter must be your nonsense! Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, my great grandfather has clearly decreed that the prince will choose a daughter as his wife from among the lords and nobles. Although his Tianbao Pavilion is rich and rivals the country, but the young lady of his Murong family is not from an official family after all, she has no rank and no title, how can such a folk girl be able to become the princess of Jin? Besides, didn't the King of Jin already set up a concubine?"

The purple-robed prince said: "Brother Zhang doesn't know, Princess Jin is weak and passed away last year. Now, the King of Jin is in the prime of life, do you think, this Murong Yan is known as the 'No. 1 Beauty in Chang'an City'! If the King of Jin includes her in the palace, it can really be described as 'both wealth and beauty'......"

The white-shirted boy said disdainfully: "King Jin is the Prince of Wuzhu, and he is deeply favored by the Lord of Long Live Lord, and the government and the opposition are all called the 'Eight Sages King'." After all, it is 'the east wind is not beautiful, and the hibiscus is a weeping willow beauty'! I can't think of the king of Jin, a humble gentleman, but he is slender, it seems that he is really 'idle'......"

The purple-robed boy hurriedly made a gesture and said in a forbidden voice: "Brother Zhang, be cautious!" He turned around and looked around, making sure that there were no public people on the left and right, and then whispered: "I heard that a few days ago, there were Tsing Yi guards arresting people here. If Brother Zhang's words were heard by those people in Tsing Yiwei, it would be a catastrophe for the sky......"

The white-shirted boy was obviously frightened by this, and hurriedly stopped his voice, bowed his head and drank to himself.

......

Here, after Xu Wuxian ate a heavy meal, his stomach was finally full of famous wine and good dishes. After he hiccuped beautifully, he suddenly thought of his second brother Zhu Wucan, who was still starving in the inn, so he couldn't bear to wait for a moment, and hurriedly said goodbye to Qi Wenzhong.

Xu Wuzhi ordered Xiao Er to pack some leftovers, and he was not polite to Qi Wenzhong, so he got up and left while he was drinking......

Qi Wenzhong paid the wine bill and sent Xu out without illness. As soon as he walked out of the gate of Deyue Tower, he suddenly turned around and asked with a worried expression:

"When Xu first arrived in Chang'an, he didn't have much money with him, and he spent a lot of money in the past few days, and he couldn't help but be in a hurry, can you allow Xu to borrow a little silver taels from the old man Qi temporarily, and he will be ...... in the future."

Qi Wenzhong said: "The leader of the alliance should be polite! How many taels of silver do you want?

Xu Wuxi raised a finger and said slowly: "Is it possible...... Can I borrow Xu first...... Ten taels of silver...... I will definitely double ...... in the future."

Qi Wenzhong laughed and said: "The old man still borrowed a thousand taels of silver from the alliance leader! Today, the old man doesn't have much with him, here is a hundred taels, and the alliance leader will use it first! If you borrow or not, you will have to mention it again in the future! Today, you can meet the leader of the Xu League and serve the alliance leader, which is the blessing of the old man!"

After speaking, Qi Wenzhong took out a full package from his backpack, opened it and saw that it was bulging and stuffed with silver cakes, each of which was of the same shape and weighed ten taels each. This neat ten ingots of silver, Xu Wuxian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly put away the package, fearing that it would be seen by the strongmen around him.

After leaving the main place, Qi Wenzhong waved goodbye to Xu Wuxian, saying that he would go to the errand first, and then visit Yunyun at the inn tomorrow, Xu Wuxian just nodded his head and thanked him......

After Xu Wuxian said goodbye to Qi Wenzhong, the wine surged, and he went all the way south.

At this time, what he was holding in his arms was a large pile of silver taels that he had never seen in his life, what remained in his abdomen was the famous Fenyang wine that he had never drunk in his life, and what he recalled in his mind was the thrilling past that he had never experienced in this life, and what he cared about in his heart was the brotherly affection that he had never felt in his life......

The night is deep, and outside the western sky, a crooked moon is in the sky, and the stars are sprinkled all over the sky, as if countless pairs of eyes are silently watching all living beings......

A gust of breeze came, and I couldn't help but be moved, so I slowly groaned:

Qianli River frost early

Ten years of Yangzhou dream has faded

I didn't see Chang'an well

How can I bear Chang'an Lao

The spring water is gone

Spring flowers are empty

It's a little sad to meet

Spread out the flattened boat

......

(The above is sent to "Bodhisattva Man")

Xu Wuxian was drunk and smoked, while taking care of himself and singing, he staggered back and forth, and finally returned to the Yunqi Inn in Changle Fang before the curfew in Chang'an.

As soon as he entered the door of the inn, he saw that there were people inside noisy and chaotic, Xu Wuxian looked forward, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but feel angry......
