Chapter 22: The Two Heroes Meet
As the only self-made hero among the princes of the world, Du Fuwei used his fists to lay down an eye-catching territory in a few years, and the families and forces in the world were blushing, but no one dared to stretch out his hand. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt can be seen that Du Fuwei still has some advantages.
Liyang, since it was occupied by Du Fuwei, has been used as a base camp, and his most elite team, the Red Law Enforcement Regiment, is here. Each of them is a good player who has practiced martial arts for decades, enough to block dozens of them.
The rest of Du Fuwei's territory is quite miserable, but this Liyang is still quite prosperous because it is close to his nose.
The streets are large and small, north and south, with many shops, and the shouts of vendors in the past are endless.
There are also Qinglou restaurants and other places in the wind and moon, attracting many merry people, or martial arts people, to come to spend money like flowing water, just for the heart to be happy.
The four city gates were heavily guarded by heavy soldiers to strictly investigate those spies of unknown origin. Of course, only on the surface.
Secretly, in the city, maybe a little beggar on the side of the road, or a small boy in a green building, or a rice shop owner, will be Du Fuwei's eyes.
The boy walked to the city gate and was stopped by the city gate soldiers.
"Who are you, where are you, and is there a way to lead?"
The leader of the city gate soldiers was a veteran in his forties, sitting on a desk at the city gate, and there were two subordinates standing next to him, who didn't look at anyone, and bowed their heads and asked.
"Tang Bohu, a talented man in the south of the Yangtze River, came from Hangzhou to join his relatives, and he hoped to take care of him. ”
Hangzhou is a place under the rule of the imperial court, and it is strange to be able to open a way out, and it is precisely because of this that the young man wants to say so.
"It's a bit difficult for you, what if it's a spy?"
The leader of the city gate soldiers raised his head and looked at the young man in a brocade robe, looking weak, and then looked at the package behind him, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.
I had carefully looked at this kind of inventory before I came, and almost everyone was put in after giving money, and I already knew the doorway here.
"It's not a spy under it, there's proof. ”
The young man did not panic, and as he spoke, he secretly stuffed a piece of silver into his hand.
"Oh", after receiving the money, the leader of the city gate soldiers seemed to suddenly realize, "Isn't this the nephew of the Tang shopkeeper in the west of the city? ”
Sure enough, when they heard this, the two soldiers standing guard at the gate of the city moved their spears out of the way.
The boy strode toward the city gate.
A voice came from behind him. "Next"
But what the boy didn't know was that the leader of the money whispered something in the ear of a soldier next to him, and the soldier quickly ran towards the city and disappeared.
When he entered the city, the boy wandered around, looking left and right.
After reading the markets of Liyang City, I compared them with Yangzhou.
If Yangzhou is a young scribe, then Liyang is a middle-aged warrior. There is less elegance and affection, and a little more perseverance and vicissitudes. When you are in it, you can feel the ruthless atmosphere of the sword soldiers.
I found an inn at random, ordered a plate of peanuts and a pot of wine, and sat down at the window. While feeling the noise of people coming and going, I waited.
In the largest house on the east side of the city, soldiers patrolled back and forth outside. Almost any disturbance, which soldiers will not let go, their task is to guard the people inside, although they know that the person inside is strong, far stronger than their own people.
Or sincerely stay in your place.
The boy chewed peanuts in his mouth, drank wine that he might never get drunk, and watched the sun move little by little in the air.
"Childe, please come with us, my family wants to invite Childe to see him. ”
The young man, who was slowly swallowing, was suddenly surrounded by several city guards who appeared out of nowhere.
Could it be that the identity leak was discovered?
The boy thought slightly.
Unlikely, not many people in this world know me.
Quietly, pretending to be an ordinary timid and scared scholar.
"Where are the officials from, you might as well sit down and have some drinks and have a treat. ”
"Childe, please. ”
Unmoved, the leader continued.
"I wonder who your family is?"
When the young man saw that these people were determined to take him away, he should have been instructed by others, and it was useless to say anything to himself, so he no longer insisted, but asked about other things.
"You'll know when you get there,"
The annoying leader didn't seem to want to say more.
Seeing that this conflict was inevitable, the young man secretly raised his true anger to prevent accidents.
"Let's go. ”
Speaking softly, he got up from his stool and walked out.
The city guards followed in full order.
The one in the lead, walked quickly in front of the boy and led the way.
Someone led the way, and the boy followed.
I already planned to stay in a place where there were few people.
Approaching a remote place, the leader of the road suddenly stopped, and then waved away the soldiers who were following behind him with one hand.
"Childe, the chief manager has been waiting for a long time. ”
The leader turned to the boy and said respectfully. Stretch out your hand and point in one direction.
"Please"
The boy was shocked and wondered if he should make a move.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, he finally chose not to make a move, and continued to move forward.
After turning a few remote streets, I entered through an inconspicuous door, and suddenly it was clear. It is a spacious yard. The two of them were standing in a place in the corner of the courtyard, and the place they had just entered should be a hidden side door.
After walking a few steps, he saw the main hall of the courtyard, and then the man stopped, pointed to the main hall in front of him, and said:
"Please"
Walking down the stairs, the door was open, and you went straight into the hall.
The first thing I saw was a middle-aged man sitting directly in front of him, wearing a high crown on his head, and was picking up a wine glass and drinking.
The furnishings here are very simple, except for a few maps hanging on the wall on the right, there are no paintings or calligraphy on a piece of paper, and not a single vase can be found.
"Sit down and taste. ”
Du Fuwei raised his head, looked at the young man, waved his big hand, pointed to a place next to him with wine, and said.
The boy didn't speak, sat down, picked up his glass, and tasted it.
The color is clear, the entrance is supple, this wine is much stronger than the one I drank outside, and I poured myself a glass and drank it slowly.
The two of them drank wine one by one, and neither of them wanted to mention the matter first.
A pot of wine was gone, and the two looked at each other.
As the sun was about to set, the house began to darken, and someone came to light the lamp.
"Thank you to the chief manager for your hospitality, and I will take my leave. ”
Looking up at the sky, the young man got up and bowed his hand to Du Fuwei to take his leave.
"It's getting late, so let's have some food first. ”
Duvowe responded, and immediately called for someone to prepare.
"Since the chief manager is warm, let's continue to bother. ”
The goal was not achieved, and the boy did not want to leave just like that.
"Your Excellency is Tang Bohu, a genius in Jiangnan?" Before the meal was served, Du Fuwei asked first.
"It's just a nickname, and there is a big manager of the labor university. With a smile in return, the young man replied lightly.
Seeing the plain appearance of the young man in front of him, Du Fuwei secretly praised in his heart: What a magical teenager.
"I'm afraid that's not your real name, is it?"
Smiling, Duvowe continued the conversation.
"The chief manager is here, what is the matter? ”
It is not surprising that the other party can see through that he has used a pseudonym, and ask the other party casually.
Hearing the young man's question, Du Fuwei was stunned. It's clear that you're looking for me, right? Why did I have something to do with you?
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was still very young, I really wanted to scold the old fox. But it's not far off, a little fox.
"I heard that there is a talented man from the south of the Yangtze River who has come to Liyang, who has always loved literature and wants to see your literary talent. I hope that Tang Gongzi can show some skills to show the demeanor of Jiangnan talents. Du Fuwei didn't seem to care about the young man's pretending to be crazy and stupid, and then spoke.
This time, I was stunned when I was a teenager.
If he can't show the demeanor of a talented man, I'm afraid he will be arrested in the name of a fake genius!
"It happens to be a false man under the fame. I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the manager. ”
You can do without cheeks, it's really cheap.
Du Fuwei thought to himself, how can this person be more like a gangster than himself?
Suddenly, a little unconvinced welled up in my heart.
Thinking about it, it seems that it is not possible to do it without a little cross.
