CHAPTER XVI
Mingcheng, Liangfu.
Since the last failed sneak attack on the Yellow Sea, the Liang family has been solemn, all visitors have declined, the door of the house is closed, and layers of heavy soldiers are guarding the courtyard wall.
After a long time, rumors began to spread in the outside world, saying that the second master of the Liang family was seriously injured in this war and is still recuperating in retreat. The Liang family is so vigilant now, because they are afraid that someone with bad intentions will take the opportunity to make trouble and assassinate Liang Erye.
For a while, there were different opinions, and no one knew whether it was true or false.
On this day, the Liang Mansion welcomed a distinguished guest after a long absence. The reason why it is said to be a distinguished guest is because this welcome is extremely grand, and the head of the Liang family personally led the team out and welcomed a young man all the way into the Liang Mansion from outside the city.
The magnates in the city are speculating about the identity of this young man, who can make the Liang family so prosperous.
This young man is none other than Fu Ning.
Fu Ning came out of Nanzhou City, immediately bought a fast horse nearby, and it took more than a month to rush back to Mingcheng. At this moment, he was sitting in the guest seat in the lobby of the Liang Mansion, drinking tea and eating pastries, and sitting on the main seat on his side was Liang Bowei, the eldest brother of the Liang family and General Liang.
"I have long heard my second brother talk about Little Brother Fu, saying that you are a heroic hero with great courage and a posture of stabilizing the world. The old man has been longing for a long time, but he has never had the opportunity to see it, and now he finally got his wish, at a glance, he is really a hero out of a young man!hahahaha......" Liang Bowei took a puff of the dry cigarette in his hand and complimented him with a smile.
Fu Ning didn't raise his head, took a sip of tea and knocked the pastry in his mouth into his stomach, waved his hand, and said, "Don't do these nonsense, what about General Liang? Call him out! I want to ask him why he left me alone in a place where birds don't." ”
"Eh, little brother, don't be angry, you are a little wronged by my second child. At that time, you also witnessed the large number of long-haired soldiers, and the second child took off his battle robe and blended into the crowd before he barely escaped, how could you think that you were still alive? In addition, he was seriously injured at that time and urgently needed to come back for treatment, so he didn't wait long, let Qing'er and Jun'er drive the boat back first, which is also a helpless thing. ”
Fu Ning raised his eyebrows: "Oh? In this way, General Liang is really as rumored outside, and his vitality is greatly damaged?"
Liang Bowei's face froze, he was silent for a long time, and finally nodded helplessly: "Although it is not as serious as it is rumored outside, it is really not light, and now it is still healing in the secret room." ”
Turning his head and glancing at Fu Ning again, he smiled meaningfully: "It's that Little Brother Fu is lucky, he was able to escape from the enemy camp without any major problems, it's really terrifying!"
Seeing this, Fu Ning immediately understood that there was something in the words of this surnamed Liang, and he didn't explain it, so he arched his hand and said: "It's also troublesome for Boss Liang to be accommodating, and arrange for me to meet with General Liang." ”
Liang Bowei looked embarrassed: "The second brother is healing now, I'm afraid it ......"
After a pause, he smiled again: "If Little Brother Fu has any questions, just let me know, and I will convey them to Second Brother." ”
Fu Ning thought about it, and understood that this old man would definitely not let himself get close to General Liang, so he could only sigh: "Okay, then it will bother Boss Liang." ”
Liang Bowei waved his hand.
Fu Ning then poured out the doubts in his heart: "I mainly have two questions that I haven't figured out. The first is Yue Lin, is he really as the outside world said, he has died at the hands of General Liang? The second is the later Changmao reinforcements, I don't remember what enemy troops were stationed near the place where we fought?"
Liang Bowei pondered for a moment when he heard this, then raised his head and smiled: "Coincidentally, I just happen to be able to answer these two questions!"
Fu Ning's heart moved.
"When my second brother came back, he told me that Hengyue Shan Yuelin had indeed died at his hands. It's a pity to say that kid is indeed a character, he can have the ability to establish a son at the age of about twenty, and he is on par with my second brother, which shows the high talent. If it weren't for the fact that he showed a flaw for some reason in the end, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take him at all, and he would be worthy of being the No. 1 sect of the righteous path. ”
Fu Ning was silent, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a while, he looked at Liang Bowei again.
Liang Bowei understood the meaning and continued: "As for the reinforcements...... To be honest, we didn't know, at first we suspected it was you......"
Fu Ning understood, and was not surprised, and lay back in the chair to drink tea.
After talking to Liang Bowei about some trivial matters he had heard recently, Fu Ning got up to say goodbye, refused the other party's retention, and left the house.
Fu Ning stayed in an inn in the east of the city, called Xiao Er to inquire about the money in the city, took out a brocade bag from his arms, and took out a silver ticket. This was given to him by Liang Powese before he left the Liang Mansion, and there was originally a box of gold ingots, but Fu Ning thought that the ingots were too conspicuous, so he didn't accept them, but just put the bag of silver tickets into his arms.
His short knife had been lost on the battlefield, and he had to order two more handles, and the silver ticket was too large, so naturally he had to exchange it for loose silver.
After more than half an hour, Fu Ning walked out of the money village with an extra bag of broken silver and a slightly smaller silver ticket.
In a good mood, he patted his stomach and planned to find a restaurant to fill his stomach first.
Longxi Building, the place where Fu Ning lost face that day. Earlier, Fu Ning didn't know the severity, and he shouted here with two or three taels of silver, making a big joke. Now that the old place is revisited, I can't help but sigh with emotion.
"Yo, master, are you here again?"
Just as Fu Ning was thinking wildly, a rather ridiculous voice sounded in front of him, Fu Ning looked up, but it was the guy who was giving him a drink at that time, he couldn't help but blush, and nodded.
The fellow didn't say much, and stepped forward to welcome him in.
"As usual?" the guy arrived at the counter and looked sideways at Fu Ning.
Fu Ning's face was hot again, and he quickly shook his head and said: "No, I'll try it today, the most expensive one, first one catty, and then two catties of cooked beef." ”
The guy was surprised when he heard this, and was about to ask, when Fu Ning lost a silver ingot.
"Okay, please. The guy hurriedly led Fu Ning to a desk where no one was, wiped the table, and went down to get ready.
After a while, the wine and a few dishes were served. Fu Ning took a bite of the side dish and drank the more than 100 taels of wine, and he didn't feel anything special.
Wait for the beef to work, and this small bottle of wine will bottom out. Fu Ning couldn't get enough of it, so he called his buddies again, and put on two jars of two taels of silver and one pound of spirits, and then the beef was also served, Fu Ning removed the wine glass, replaced it with a sea bowl, and ate the beef and wine.
"That's what makes me happy!"
The surrounding drinkers were amused and disgusted when they saw Fu Ning's eating, and they put down their wine glasses and changed places.
Fu Ning has already thought about it, he is a rough person, there is no need to learn from those literati and scholars to drink for a long time, since he drinks a lot, then simply don't care about it so much, according to his temperament.
Just as Fu Ning was feasting and exhaling, a burst of joyful greetings suddenly came from in the distance.
"Brother Fu!"
