Chapter 9: Warlords and Nouveau riche

On August 22, a week after the last Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen Longting was exercising in the courtyard in the morning, and after practicing a few moves, he raised his head, looked at the courtyard wall not far away, and then said:

"Come out!"

As soon as the words fell, a head poked out from the courtyard wall, which was gold inlaid with jade, but I saw her puffing out her face and saying angrily:

"You've found it again!"

Chen Longting shook his head with a smile, this neighbor is too capable of tossing people, he comes to peek every day, which makes him speechless, and then he no longer pays attention to her, and concentrates on practicing martial arts, while the gold inlaid jade is silently watching on the courtyard wall not far away.

Jin Moyu on the courtyard wall applauded happily when she saw this scene, and at this time, a small head poked out from her side, and she also smiled and applauded, and at the same time said in a milky voice:

"Keep flipping! Make me happy, there's a reward!"

Hearing this, Chen Longting's face instantly darkened, am I playing monkey and then he looked at Jin Moyu's side and found that it was a four or five-year-old female doll.

Then he asked:

"Who is this? Your daughter?"

"Phew, she's my sister, Aixin Jueluo Xianqi!" After Jin Jiyu finished speaking, Jin Moyu beside him raised his head proudly, and Chen Longting, who was looking at it, pouted, Cut! It's not a loss, it's a sister, it's all a virtue!

Immediately afterward, Chen Longting suddenly thought of something: Isn't this four- or five-year-old female doll in front of her Jin Moyu, who is known as the 'last Gege of the Qing Dynasty'? Moreover, she will be the most beautiful of all Gegeges in the future! But now, she is still just a female doll.

said. Chen Longting's figure moved, and he took a momentary step. Come to the courtyard wall, and then jump on the courtyard wall with a leap. looked at the two grids, one big and one small, revealing a mouthful of snowy white teeth, stretched out his hands and smiled:

"Since it's your sister, let your uncle hug you!"

As soon as his hand was stretched out, Jin Moyu opened his mouth and bit it, and the frightened Chen Longting quickly withdrew his hand, and then said with a wry smile:

"Why does your sister bite too?"

Jin Zhuyu chuckled, and then said:

"You're the one who bites!"

"In that case, it looks like I'm going to have to find something to gag the two of you. ”

After speaking. Chen Longting smiled evilly, the two Gege were immediately startled, Jin Moyu took his sister Jin Moyu's hand, quickly got off the ladder, ran back to the palace reflexively, and did not forget to turn around and scold when leaving:

"Big bad, shameless!"

Haha! Chen Longting sat on the courtyard wall and laughed, the first time he scared this girl away, it felt very cool, I guess I have this courtyard. The previous tenants were all scared away by this Nizi, and this time they finally avenged them!

It's a little too small, but I can wait! After saying that, Chen Longting smiled evilly again, and then jumped off the courtyard wall. Shaking his head, he joked with the two little girls. It's good for the mind and body, and it feels good. But there's still a lot of business to be done.

After speaking, he returned to the room, washed up, changed into the crimson robe, and then stood in front of the mirror, he saw that his figure was slender, and he looked even more extraordinarily noble against the backdrop of the clothes, and his eyes began to glow with a different brilliance, and then he raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice:

"From today onwards, I'm going to be a big gentleman like never before!"

Picking up the hexagonal jar on the table, uncovering the lid, and looking at the very excited purple tooth silver back, Chen Longting said again:

"Of course, whether I can become a gentleman or not depends on your help, so Purple Fang!

After saying a word, the six generations of purple teeth in the jar seemed to sense something, and immediately raised the head of the insect and let out a few chirps, which were counted as a response, Chen Longting nodded, then closed the hexagonal jar, took the silver medal, and then pushed the door open, only to see the ghost, Liu Banxian, and Du Wenhui, all of whom were already standing in the courtyard waiting for themselves.

Du Wenhui was carrying a golden handsome flag at the moment, and when he saw the young master coming out of the room, he immediately asked first:

"Young Master, shall we leave now?"

"Let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, Chen Longting walked out of the courtyard with the three of them, left Wangfujing, and went straight to the Forbidden City!

On the way, the four of them were extremely swaggering, and the golden handsome flag in Du Wenhui's hand made them look full of spirit, at this moment, the passers-by around were basically in the same direction as them, and after everyone saw the handsome flag, the exclamation did not stop.

Hearing the talk of passers-by, Chen Longting smiled, today is the triennial Golden Basin Event, for this reason, he has been preparing for too long, said, reached out and touched the hexagonal jar in his hand, and then said secretly:

"Golden Basin, Purple Fang! I believe you can do it! And I will continue to understand the energy field in the process, and I hope that in the end, the biggest harvest is me!"

Looking at the rising sun in the early morning, Chen Longting suddenly thought of the lotus girl, I remember going to the silver ingot bridge yesterday, when we met in the air, I told the other party in the handkerchief that there was something to be busy in the next two days, so I couldn't come, at that time, the lotus girl only replied with three words 'It's okay', in this regard, Chen Longting only felt that the lotus girl was really understanding, but when he left, he found that she was a little lost!

Thinking of this, Chen Longting immediately became proud, she was lost, which shows that she still cares about me! It seems that she will find an opportunity to communicate face-to-face with the lotus girl in the future, and she always uses a handkerchief to transmit information, which is a bit old-fashioned, and she can't interpret her inner thoughts.

As they were talking, the four of them found that there was a long queue of dense people in the distance, but they didn't expect that before they arrived at Chongwenmen, the people who came to watch the game lined up here.

Looking at the long dragon that could not be seen at a glance, I was afraid that there were tens of thousands of people, right? As for the popularity of the weaving promotion competition in the Republic of China, Chen Longting had a new understanding. This scene is even more unprecedented than the scene of winning the command in Chengdu Mansion!

"Young Master, are we going to line up?"

Liu Congyun on the side asked.

"Line up, Master Ben is a contestant! No need to line up!"

Saying that, Chen Longting took the three of them. Walking straight along the long line, as a contestant, you have the right to take a few followers. So there's no need to worry about the ghost three not being able to get in.

When the four of them came to the outside of the Forbidden City, they saw that there were already many black dog policemen in Chongwenmen. The order is being maintained, and the people who came to watch also bought tickets from here, and an ordinary ticket is ten oceans, which is equivalent to more than 400 soft sister coins in later generations according to purchasing power.

Among them, there are some tickets that are closer to the arena, and the price is not only ten yuan, but hundreds, or even thousands of oceans! These oceans can cover the income of ordinary people for several years!

Chen Longting at this time. Only then did he recognize the value of Dayang, he spent money lavishly before, so he misjudged the value of Dayang, and now he saw tens of thousands of people queuing up, even the Xuanwumen on the opposite side, this scene made him chuckle:

"Hmph, the more people who come, the better! Their expressions will be very exciting!"

After speaking, he was about to take the three of them to the contestant's passage, but suddenly several small servants quickly walked up to the four of them and said:

"Master, do you want to buy a ticket? You don't have to wait in line here. How about fifty oceans!"

Hearing this, Chen Longting was speechless for a moment, it seems that the era is the same, these ticket sellers and scalpers. Whether it is the Republic of China or future generations, there is a place to survive!

Du Wenhui, who was carrying the golden handsome flag on the side, immediately stretched out his hand and said:

"Go, go, go, go, don't you see this handsome flag, we're the contestants!"

The words just fell. Behind the four of them, a group of big men in black. Tiger Tiger came to their rear, and one of them shouted:

"Get out of the way!"

Chen Longting raised his eyebrows. Seeing that this group of black-clothed people were all carrying evil spirits, he reached out and grabbed Du Wenhui, who was about to scold back, and then the four of them walked aside, Chen Longting secretly said in his heart, are the evil spirits on these black-clothed people soldiers?

He led the three of them to the side, not afraid, but didn't want to cause any trouble before the game.

The man in black saw that Chen Longting and the others had dodged away, so he smiled and said:

"You know each other!"

After speaking, the group of black-clothed people hugged a fat man in white and walked towards Chongwenmen, when the fat man walked past Chen Longting, he saw the handsome flag in Du Wenhui's hand, but he smiled, and Chen Longting also saw a golden handsome flag in this group of black-clothed men!

Could it be that he is a warlord? If the other party is also a contestant, then this person is really fashionable enough! As soon as Chen Longting finished speaking, he heard a scolding voice from Chongwenmen.

"It's not a cricket? Who dares to say that Lao Tzu is not a cricket?"

But when I saw the fat man in white, he took out a shell gun and slapped it on the table, and the staff who belonged to the weaving promotion hall in front of him were almost scared to pee, and in the cricket jar on the table, it turned out to be a mole cricket!

Mole crickets are a pest of rural fields, flying, burrowing, yellow-colored, with two mantis-like claws, the size of the insect is about the same as that of crickets, but it does not belong to the subject of crickets.

This is also the reason why the staff did not let the other party in, but then, after seeing dozens of black-clothed men take out their shell guns one after another, the staff immediately nodded in fright, and said that this is a cricket!

Seeing the gun in the other party's hand, he knew that the fat man was a warlord, and then found that the matter was not finished, and the problem of crickets was solved, but the staff still did not let the fat man in white enter, and the reason was the guns in their hands.

Weapons are not allowed to be carried, this is the rule, after all, it is the palace inside.

"That's it! I, Hu Changxing, haven't seen any strong winds and waves? Isn't it just a weapon? We don't bring it!"

After the fat man in white finished speaking, he asked his subordinates to hand over the weapons to the staff for safekeeping, but then he was told that the number of entourages was also limited.

Chen Longting, who was standing not far away and watching, laughed secretly, this fat man is really interesting! Then he closed his eyes and entered the keyword 'Hu Changxing' and found that there was no such person, so he had to open his eyes, and then watched the play, but saw that at this time, the fat man in white said to his subordinates behind him:

"Draw five people to come in with me!

As soon as he finished saying this, the group of men in black instantly stood up collectively, and at the same time replied loudly:

"Yes, handsome!"

Sure enough, it's a warlord! But how can you not find out the information about this person? Chen Longting was very strange, and then watched the fat man in white walk in with five big men, and the rest of the men in black. One after another, they cut in line directly next to Chongwenmen, and those black dog policemen didn't even dare to let out a fart!

Seeing that the people dared to be angry, they did not dare to speak. It's also the gate of the palace, it's really lawless! In the past, Chen Longting thought that warlords were just 'awesome', but now they have two more labels: 'willful, domineering'.

At this time, a young man with a folding fan, surrounded by a group of young people, came from behind, and there was also a handsome flag among them! When passing by Chen Longting, their eyes were full of contempt, and Chen Longting, who was at the tip of his ear, even heard one of them say:

"Turtle!"

Nima's! Are these just? Now it's all right. Xiao Ye had a competitor, and it didn't take long for several more contestants to come, most of them were young people, but there were also middle-aged and elderly people, and even a young man in a robe came alone, but he saw that the young man had a golden pocket watch on his chest.

The other party was passing by Chen Longting. also looked at him and smiled kindly, the corners of Chen Longting's eyes twitched, all because of the other party's golden teeth, almost blinded Chen Longting's eyes!

Is this the legendary local tyrant outbreak? It's so capricious! Chen Longting raised his hand and said confidently:

"Let's go!"

When showing the handsome flag and silver medal, verify the identity. After checking the crickets again, the four of them entered the Forbidden City smoothly. As soon as I walked into the inner city, I saw a dense crowd of tens of thousands of seats. Half of them were already filled with people who came to watch, and Chongwenmen and Xuanwumen kept coming to more audiences.

In the middle of the audience in the distance, a distinctive golden flag, where is it, the flag is embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon! And below, there is a huge red cloth, which seems to cover something, Chen Longting saw this and felt a Ling in his heart, if he didn't guess wrong, under the red cloth, there must be a five-clawed golden basin! He came to the competition this time for it!

Coming to the preparation area located outside the arena, lined up with the contestants from other provinces, Chen Longting raised his eyes, but saw that there were forty-eight preparation areas, and couldn't help nodding secretly, the Republic of China during the Beiyang period had thirty-five provinces, twelve municipalities, and one place, adding up to exactly forty-eight provinces.

Compared with the later generations of China, plus Taiwan Province, four municipalities directly under the central government, five autonomous regions, and only 32 provinces, the territory of Beiyang in this period is much larger than that of later generations! You must know that the last ten years are the golden decade of the Republic of China!

However, not necessarily all of these 48 provinces have contestants, such as Tibet, where the climate is harsh and sparsely populated, and there are some provinces whose geographical conditions are not suitable for the survival of crickets.

Subsequently, Chen Longting set his eyes on the front of the inner city, where there was a high platform, on which there were many dignitaries and dignitaries, and even foreign devils!

But on the high platform, in addition to officials, businessmen and celebrities, there were also many Westerners and Orientals, and in the middle of those crowds, a young man wearing a suit, a pair of black-framed glasses, and a lean short hair was in high spirits.

He is the same age as Chen Longting, and his name is Aixin Jueluo Puyi

Because the distance was too far, even if Chen Longting used his eyesight, he could only see a rough idea, and when he saw the young man who was embraced, he guessed in his heart that this person was Pu Yi!

At this time, Liu Banxian on the side touched his beard and kept making an exclamatory sound.

"It's unprecedented! This time, I've opened my eyes!"

But Chen Longting shook his head, after the two games before and after, there are at least millions of oceans in the ticket money alone, and as for the champion's lottery head, it is only 300,000 oceans, and now Pu Yi is afraid that he will make money!

Chen Longting was really right! Pu Yi on the high platform, although he was full of spirit and extremely happy when he heard the sycophants of the celebrities around him, the reason why he was really happy was because of the profits brought by this event! It was a pity that it could only be held once every three years, otherwise, he would not have sold the treasures in the palace very often.

It seems that Pu Yi is worried about money, but he doesn't know about Chen Longting in the distance, and then, I saw a man with a big horn with an iron bucket walking to the preparation area of the contestants and shouting loudly in front of the contestants in each province to help him.

When the big man came to Chen Longting, he first opened his mouth to ask, then walked to the front, raised the bullhorn, and shouted:

"The winner of Sichuan Province, Chen Longting, came to the competition with the 'purple tooth and silver back'!"

As soon as the voice fell, an earth-shattering roar was heard from the audience of nearly 100,000 people in the distance:

"Sichuan! Rise !!"

Countless Sichuan people, or the people whose ancestral home is Sichuan, raised their fists and shouted loudly! This voice resounded throughout this world, Chen Longting heard the shout, and his blood immediately boiled, these are fellow villagers! As he spoke, he strode forward, looked at the black pressure on the sea of people, raised his strength, and roared loudly:

"Must be !!"

After speaking, he laughed, with infinite arrogance in his laughter! From this moment on, he was very much looking forward to the beginning of this Golden Basin Tournament in his heart!

(ps: Actually, there are still a lot of unfinished, if you have any questions, leave it in the next chapter and then describe it!) (to be continued......)
