Chapter Sixty-Nine: Lan Ting

Autumn was deep, the carriage was walking on the official road, the wheels were crushing the yellow leaves, and the wind was blowing Lan Ting's clothes, he didn't feel cold at all, he only felt that there was a fire burning in his chest, because it was possible to see Sheling when he went to Liangxi. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info turned his head and asked Yang Yixiao, who was driving the car next to him, "Senior brother, have you ever been to Liangxi?"

Yang Yixiao shook his head and said, "Not really, in fact, I haven't been anywhere." Because since I was a child, I have been practicing except for practice, so I rarely go out. ”

"Isn't that boring?"

"It's not boring, just get used to it. "Yang Yixiao's temperament is light and pure, which is different from Lan Ting.

"If you let me practice every day, you have to suffocate me to death. Lan Ting laughed

Yang Yixiao said: "Senior brother, what did you do every day before?"

"Learn to cook with my father, go swimming in the river when you have nothing to do, and catch a few fish if you're lucky, so that dinner is over. However, there were too many people catching fish, and before I could do anything, all the fish in the river were caught. ”

"Don't be so exaggerated, can you catch all the fish in the river?" Yang Yixiao said in disbelief

"Don't believe it, this world is so bleak, let alone eating, it's good to drink porridge and drink enough. You have to pay rent for farming, you have to pay taxes for opening a shop, and chopping wood and hunting is a physical and technical job, so if you can't eat, don't you go down to the river to catch fish?" Lan Ting was used to this kind of life.

Yang Yixiao listened to it in his ears and sighed: "I really can't imagine that ordinary people live so hard. ”

Lan Ting said: "No, my father is a chef and the restaurant where officials come to eat every once in a while, and they don't give money." ”

"If you don't pay for dinner, is there still a royal law?" Yang Yixiao said angrily

If you don't give money, you don't have to pay money, and you often look for trouble, if you don't give red envelopes during the New Year's holidays, this restaurant will wait for an accident. ”

Yang Yixiao slashed his whip vigorously, "How can this be reasonable, where does an official dare to be so domineering?"

"The world is as black as a crow, it's the same everywhere. Lan Ting smiled bitterly

Yang Yixiao said: "No, our parents there are very good?"

Lan Ting said: "That's the Meteor Catching Moon Pavilion, which is famous and strong. Don't you know that people are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard?"

Yang Yixiao was silent, and said for a long time: "If I encounter such an unfair thing in the future, I will have to discount the dog official's leg!"

"I've thought about it before, and I've gotten used to it when I've seen it a lot. Lan Ting leaned against the door panel and looked up at the sky. remembered that when I was a child, I watched my father being bullied by the officials, and a sense of grievance came to my heart. If he hadn't met Qi Chu, he would have been bullied like his father for the rest of his life. I don't know what happened to my father now.

Yang Yixiao said: "What do you want?"

Lan Ting said: "I didn't think about anything, how many days will it take to drive to Liangxi?"

Yang Yixiao said: "Let's leave early, and we can arrive tomorrow night." ”

Lan Ting said, "Spend the night in the wilderness tonight?"

Yang Yixiao said: "Let's follow the official road, there should be a post station." ”

Lan Ting's excited eyes dimmed, "I'm happy in the air, I thought I was spending the night in the open air." ”

Yang Yixiao said: "Now in this weather, you will not be frozen to death if you spend the night in the wild. ”

"How exciting!" Lan Ting longed, "think about it, the four of us have a fire in our lives, fight two hares, and brag while roasting, and if we have a little more wine, it will be too enjoyable." "He has always been like this, the earth is the bed, the sky is the seat, he is at peace with what happens, and he can still find fun in it.

"I'm looking forward to what you said. Yang Yixiao smiled, "I've never slept in the wild when I'm so big, what does that feel like?"

Lan Ting smiled: "You have to experience this yourself, it's not interesting for me to say it." ”

Speaking of wine, Yang Yixiao suddenly thought that Lan Ting drank a whole jar by himself last night, "You didn't drink too much yesterday, did you?"

Lan Ting remembered what happened last night, and her doubts were unsolved, and she didn't know what to say to Yang Yixiao, "Of course I didn't drink too much, I don't get drunk with a thousand glasses of wine." By the way, can Master pass on any exercises to you?" he usually calls Qi Chu Gongzi, but this time he changed his name and felt a little uncomfortable.

"I don't have the exercises, but I was given a music sheet with Master's experience in practicing the exercises. I'll show you. ”

Yang Yixiao has no barrier to Lan Ting, although he is older than him and his martial arts are higher than him, but he will definitely abide by the seniority. Lan Ting took the score, flipped a few pages back and forth, and found that there was no record of "The Skill of the Elephant Emperor" in it.

So he said: "Master passed on a set of introductory mental methods, I think it's good, although your martial arts are not weak, but you are also a disciple of Linglang Pavilion, and you still have to learn some of your own kung fu." ”

Last time, Sheling told him that "The Skill of the Elephant Emperor" was only passed on to the head of Linglang Pavilion, so he couldn't tell Yang Yixiao what kind of martial arts he passed on to him. Lan Ting is kind and enthusiastic, and Yang Yixiao has saved his life twice, so he is grateful, so he wants to teach him the first half of "The Nameless Road".

"Okay, I'm just trying to learn the martial arts of our Linglang Pavilion!" Yang Yixiao said happily

"You sit down, it's too windy, I'm afraid you can't hear clearly. In fact, Lan Ting was afraid that his voice would be too loud and would be heard by Qi Chu in the car.

Yang Yixiao moved over, "You speak slowly, I'm afraid I'll miss it." ”

Lan Ting whispered in his ear the beginning of "The Great Road is Nameless", and Yang Yixiao completely remembered the time of tea.

"Thank you, brother. Yang Yixiao waved the whip, and the horse sped up its gallop.

"It's a trivial matter, when you are familiar with this paragraph, I will teach you the rest next time. Lan Ting was afraid of being heard by Qi Chu, so he sweated nervously.

"Hmm," Yang Yixiao nodded.

The carriage ran for a while, and Yang Yixiao found that the road ahead was crowded with people. He grabbed the reins, and the horse stopped.

The car door opened, and Qi Chu asked, "Why did it stop?"

Yang Yixiao turned around and said, "There seems to be an accident ahead, I'll take a look." He jumped out of the car, and Lan Ting jumped down with him, "I'll go with you." ”

Walking forward, the two found that a team of officers and soldiers were digging the road, and the good Yangguan Avenue was dug by them with pits everywhere.

Yang Yixiao asked politely, "Brother Bing, what are you doing?"

The officers and soldiers did not raise their heads, "Blind, building roads, can't see!"

"But this road is obviously good, isn't it broken by you digging up like this?" Yang Yixiao said

The officer and soldier raised their heads and glared at him fiercely, "Go aside, didn't you see that the master was busy?"

Lan Ting looked forward and found that there was a table behind the officers and soldiers, and there was a middle-aged man in court clothes sitting next to the table, who seemed to be the leader.

The middle-aged man in the lead was drinking tea, and there were two girls with slender waists and jade hands holding fans and fanning him.

Lan Ting said in his heart: This cold day is still fanning? Suddenly, I heard the middle-aged man in the lead shouting to this side: "The road has been repaired in the past few days, but this road is impassable, so if you want to hurry, you should change the route." ”

Yang Yixiao said angrily: "This road is obviously good, but it was dug up by them, how can it be called road repair?"

Lan Ting pulled him back to his side, "Forget it, everyone who has been an official this year has been like this." If the money allocated by the imperial court is not spent like this, will they be able to make money?"

Yang Yixiao said: "Doesn't anyone care about this?"

Lan Ting said: "Who cares? You have to go to complain, the prefect is all their gang." Looking at this battle, presumably this road construction was tacitly approved by the prefect, otherwise why do you think they are so angry?"

"What should I do then?" Yang Yixiao put his hand on the Ling Xiao Sword.

"Don't mess around, the government is not easy to mess with. I think we'd better divert it. Lanting pulled him back to the carriage.

Xu Jinyu got out of the car to breathe, and when he saw the two of them coming back with black faces, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Don't let you go by building the road ahead, let's change the route. Lan Ting said

Xu Jinyu looked at Yang Yixiao, who was silent, and said, "Is it really a road to build? ”

Yang Yixiao couldn't help but tell the matter, Xu Jinyu pondered: "In this way, why don't I go over and clean them up?"

"I'll go too!" Yang Yixiao gritted his teeth

Qi Chu, who was standing on the side, said: "Forget it, our trip is secret, don't alarm the government." ”

Yang Yixiao was still unwilling to say: "But let them do whatever they want?"

Qi Chu said: "When you first entered the rivers and lakes, it is normal for many things to feel strange. In fact, even if we punish them, we won't solve the problem. This is a problem with the imperial court system, and if you want to prevent this kind of thing from happening, you must start from the root. ”

Lan Ting said: "Then let's take the mountain road." ”

Yang Yixiao said: "But I don't know the road, so I can't catch the car." ”

Xu Jinyu said: "Don't look at me, I'm a road idiot." ”

Yang Yixiao's eyes looked at Qi Chu, he pinned his last hope on the master he admired, but he heard Qi Chu smile and say, "It seems that I am not a road idiot." ”

Yang Yixiao: "......"

Xu Jinyu: "......"

Lan Ting said: "Okay, you get in the car, I'll catch the car." ”

Xu Jinyu looked at him curiously and said, "Xiao Lanting, do you know the road?"

Lan Ting said: "Although I don't know it, as long as I know where I want to go, I will definitely have a way to get there." ”

Yang Yixiao repeated his words, as if there was some truth. Qi Chu was the first to get into the carriage, and Xu Jinyu also followed.

In the carriage, Xu Jinyu asked, "Are you really relieved to let Lan Ting drive?"

Qi Chu smiled: "If you don't let him try, how do you know if it won't work?"

Xu Jinyu said: "But even you don't know the way to Liangxi, can he find it?"

Qi Chu said indifferently: "Don't worry, in fact, he is better than we imagined." ”

"I'm really convinced of you, my heart is too big!"

Qi Chu poured a glass of wine and looked up, "Weren't we as ignorant as him in the past? But who would have thought that you and I, who were ignorant back then, are famous all over the world today? In fact, ignorance is not terrible, what is terrible is that you will never dare to take the first step towards the life you want, right?"

The carriage moved slowly, and Yang Yixiao asked, "Senior brother, do you know how to get to Liangxi?"

"I don't know!" Lan Ting looked left and right, looking for a way.

"How do you get there?"

"Follow the feeling. Lan Ting smiled, he was always optimistic in the face of difficulties, which was very similar to Qi Chu, "Sit tight, drive!"
