Chapter 225: Yangzhou City's First Encounter
After Yang Guang of the second Sui Dynasty ascended the throne, due to his great achievements, many expeditions outside the territory, and poverty and luxury, he built palaces and courtyards, went out to patrol the hardships, and levied harsh taxes indiscriminately, which made the people miserable, and even thieves rose everywhere.
Yangzhou City was set as Jiangdu County by the Sui Dynasty, but it was a prosperous scene, the streets were bustling and trafficgy.
On this day, a man and a woman came at the east gate of the city, the two walked hand in hand, the man's bearing was graceful, the woman's beauty was like a fairy, anyone who looked at it, they knew that these two people were rich and noble, and ordinary people never had this kind of extravagance.
The soldiers guarding the city gate were all people with extraordinary eyesight, nodded and bowed, and welcomed the two into the city.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were mixed in the crowd, envious.
Kou Zhong said in a low voice: "Ling Shao, there are two big fat sheep, do you want to get a handful?
Xu Ziling said: "As soon as I saw them, I had a good impression and couldn't bear to do it. ”
Kou Zhong said: "You are just very good-hearted! We can go to the rebels if we are still short of money, and they must be very rich in appearance, so we will steal a little bit, and then return it to them when it is developed." ”
Xu Ziling was still worried: "Isn't this okay?"
Kou Zhong said: "It's okay, if you can't bear it, I'll just go!"
The two fat sheep that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling said were naturally Wang Jing and Mu Wanqing. Wang Jing has the experience of crossing many times, as soon as he came to this plane, he had already figured out the background, and at this time, the plot of the Legend of the Double Dragon of the Tang Dynasty should not have been launched, so he went directly to Yangzhou City and seized the secret of immortality first. As for the two of Shuanglong, they were accepted as younger brothers, and they were also helpers in snatching He's Bi and the Evil Emperor's relics in the future.
Wang Jing was even more eager to improve his strength at this time, according to his estimate, when he reached the realm of the Broken Void, he should be able to return to the previous planes according to his wishes. Therefore, for him, the Four Strange Books, as well as the Evil Emperor Relic and the Heshi Bi, are all help, and they must not be let go easily.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling don't know martial arts at all, so they dare to fight Wang Jing and Mu Wanqing's idea, if they know a little bit of martial arts, they will feel the pressure on Mu Wanqing's body, this is the master's qi, Mu Wanqing can't restrain it yet.
Xu Ziling couldn't persuade Kou Zhong, so he had to see the opportunity to move.
Kou Zhong walked towards Wang Jing and Mu Wanqing, pretending to be pedestrians, and when he passed shoulders with the two, he stole Wang Jing's belongings, and it was worth a lot of money if he touched a random piece, Kou Zhong thought so.
However, Wang Jing's eyesight, Kou Zhong, a little gangster like Wang Jing, couldn't be more transparent. Wang Jing smiled dumbly, this kid is so bold that he dares to beat his own idea. The gangsters in Yangzhou City naturally include Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and this gangster is sent to the door for free, which is much easier to use. Although Wang Jing didn't know that this was Kou Zhong, he might as well take advantage of it.
When Kou Zhong approached the two, before he stretched out his hand, Wang Jing had already said loudly: "Little brother, may I ask, what restaurant is the most famous in Yangzhou?"
Kou Zhong wanted to steal it, but Wang Jing had already noticed it and talked to him, so it was difficult for him to do it. But Kou Zhong is also a clever person, and if he can't steal it, he will show the other party a way, and the other party is in a good mood, and the tip he gives is enough for him to enjoy.
Kou Zhong immediately replied: "Uncle, you are asking the right person, the little one grew up in Yangzhou since he was a child, and he knows everything about this place, and the little one can take you wherever the uncle wants to go! ”
Mu Wanqing said with a smile: "Lang Jun, this little brother can speak! Why don't you hire him as a guide?"
Wang Jing smiled and said, "Just listen to Sister Wan!" After speaking, he threw a silver ingot to Kou Zhong. Deal with this kind of gangster, give some money, and you can make the other party do their best.
Kou Zhong stretched out his hand to catch it, and put it into his arms without a trace, and as soon as he started it, he knew that the silver was five taels, and his heart was extremely happy. Xi said: "Thank you for the two nobles, please come with the little one." ”
Kou Zhong immediately led the way, and took Wang Jing and Mu Wanqing to Yipinju. Xu Ziling looked carefully in the crowd, followed behind, and was secretly happy in his heart, such a job of leading the way was easy, the harvest was big, and there was no danger at all, which was usually very rare.
How could Wang Jing not know that there was someone following him, but he didn't bother to pay attention to such a small role.
As the three of them walked forward, Wang Jing asked, "What do you call the little brother?"
Kou Zhong replied: "The little one is called Kou Zhong, and he usually makes a living by being a guide for others, and it is really a small blessing to meet two nobles today." ”
Wang Jing secretly said in his heart, it really didn't take any effort to get it. He didn't expose Kou Zhong's lies, and continued to ask: "Where is the most famous martial arts hall in Yangzhou City, do you know?"
Kou Zhonglang said: "If you go back to Uncle, the most famous martial arts hall in Yangzhou is, of course, Shilong Martial Arts Field, which is on Chengdong Street, which is very conspicuous. Shi Long is the number one master in Yangzhou, and it is rare for ordinary people to see it, and I heard that it is now his apprentice who is taking care of it. The uncle asked this, is he going to summon the guards? If so, the small one can thread the needle. ”
Wang Jing smiled: "No, I'm looking for Shi Long himself, do you know?"
Kou Zhong said: "This is difficult, Shilong has never seen people. But where he lives, I know. ”
Wang Jing asked, "Oh, little brother knows a lot!"
Kou Zhong smiled: "I'm not afraid of uncle's jokes." The little one also wants to learn a few kung fu, so he often goes to the Shilong martial arts field, but the people in the martial arts field say that the little one is old and can't practice anything famous. If you want to study, you need to pay tuition, and the small one is poor and the other can't afford it, so you have to peek from time to time. The little one saw Shi Long's apprentice delivering food to the outskirts of the city every day, so he followed him, and saw that the person who delivered the food was very respectful, thinking that Shi Long should be there. ”
Wang Jing said happily: "Very good! You will take me over in the afternoon, and your benefits are indispensable!"
Kou Zhong said: "Thank you, uncle!"
While the three of them were talking, they had already arrived outside the door of Depintang. At this time, it was close to lunchtime, and bursts of wine-scented meat spurted out of the restaurant, and the sound of the cook's knife and the sound of running to the hall became one.
Kou Zhong usually didn't have enough to eat, but when he smelled the aroma, his stomach gurgled very unhappily. Kou Zhong sneered and said, "The two nobles forgive me, as soon as the little one smells this fragrance, his stomach will not be angry." ”
Wang Jing smiled: "It's okay!"
Seeing Wang Jing and Mu Wanqing's bearing, the two of them were introduced into the hall and said, "Do the two distinguished guests need a private room?"
Kou Zhong didn't dare to make an idea, and waited for Wang Jing to speak.
Wang Jing smiled and said, "Okay!
Runtang said happily: "Come with me!" After speaking, he brought the three of them into the private room.
Where does Kou Zhong usually enter such a private room, he secretly looks at it, and Wang Jing doesn't break it. (To be continued.) )
