Chapter 107: But I Met the Dead
Leaving the unexplained hut, the two headed east. Although it is not clear where it is, it should be not far from Tongguan.
Near noon, the crowd gradually thickened, and I walked along the road to a county seat. Chen Shu inquired from passers-by, but this was Hucheng County by the Yellow River.
The two walked into the county seat, walked for a while, and suddenly a burst of aroma came, but it was a barbecue stall. Wang Yuyan suddenly looked over, and Chen Shuqi said, "Are you hungry again?"
Wang Yuyan nodded again and again, and said pitifully after a while: "I'm so hungry." β
This girl is the type who can't eat much and gets hungry fast. Chen Shu said angrily: "Don't look at it, I lost all the silver on my body." Let's go, find an inn to stay in first, and then I'll go and make money, and then I'll buy you something delicious. β
After saying it, I thought it was funny, how could I be like a little girl. Wang Yuyan really gave him a magical feeling, half mysterious and elegant, half innocent and naΓ―ve.
After finding an inn to stay, Chen Shu asked Wang Yuyan to stay in the room obediently and walked out of the room by herself.
The heroes in martial arts novels, if they have no money on them, how can they be happy and chic, this is a problem. For Chen Shu, the last time he pocketed Xu Xiangping's plate of gold without hesitation, it was a convenient one. If he wanted to rely on a little martial arts and specifically steal it, he wouldn't be able to do it anyway.
It's better to do a traditional trade in martial arts, sell your art, invest less and get quick results, and go out to rely on friends. Chen Shu is full of confidence, with his own skills, if he goes to perform arts, he should be able to make a lot of money.
He was trying to find a place with a lot of people, when he heard someone shouting, "Brother Chen, is that you?"
Chen Shu looked back, and the two men strode over, but he didn't know any of them. Just as he was wondering, one of them looked around and said in a low voice, "Brother Chen, in Xia Wei Chunhua!"
Chen Shu sighed and said happily: "It turned out to be Brother Jiu!" Looking carefully, it was vaguely Wei Chunhua's appearance. However, he deliberately changed his appearance, so Chen Shu didn't recognize it when he saw it. Among the few leaders he had seen in the Red Flower Society, Wen Tailai had the deepest friendship with him, Zhao Banshan was honest and steady, and Wei Chunhua was bold and shrewd, and they were all quite similar. At this time, I met by chance in a different place, and I was really happy in my heart.
Wei Chunhua pulled him into a side alley, and asked with a smile: "I recognize you at a glance, brother, you are now a criminal of the two countries, and you are still swaggering around the streets, what are you doing?"
Chen Shu was slightly surprised and said the matter calmly. Wei Chunhua couldn't help laughing, and then said solemnly: "A penny is difficult to defeat a hero, but it is difficult to stop a villain." You would rather go to the streets to perform than do evil things, which is really a model for my generation. β
Another man nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Lao Jiu, is this Chen Shu Chen Shaoxia who stabbed Fukangan to death?"
Wei Chunhua smiled and said, "Let me introduce, Brother Chen, this is Brother Jiang Hongying, the helmsman of the Heyang Gang. β
Although Chen Shu had never heard of this person, he also gave up his hand and said: "Assassinating Fukangan, the younger brother doesn't dare to take credit." Brother Jiu was also present at the time, where did I have that ability. β
Jiang Hongying is in her thirties, with a fair complexion, a fierce expression, a pair of eyes shining, and a smile: "Chen Shaoxia doesn't have to be too modest, Jiang often praises you as a rare heroic boy in the martial arts." Today, I am fortunate to have to let Jiang do his best as a landlord. β
Wei Chunhua said with a smile: "Old Jiang Ke is really a snake, the Heyang Gang is the largest gang in Henan, and it holds the lifeblood of the entire Henan Mansion, so it is very rich." β
Jiang Hongying patted his chest and said: "Exactly, Chen Shaoxia appreciates his face, and the Heyang Gang is full of flowers." As he spoke, he took out a small bag from his arms, slapped it into Chen Shu's hand, and said with a smile: "A little Cheng Yi, please smile." β
Chen Shu saw that it was a small bag of silver, and said busily: "How can this be done? Master Jiang Helm, I, Chen Shu, are not here to fight the autumn wind." "With his character, no matter how down-and-out he is, he doesn't want to accept the silver taels of such a new person.
He insisted on refusing, Jiang Hongying shook his head again and again, and said: "If you Chen Shaoxia see outside, you won't take me Jiang Hongying as a friend." To tell you the truth, I and the twelve masters of the Red Flower Club are cousins, and we are not outsiders, so please don't see the young man. β
Wei Chunhua also smiled and said: "You are using the things outside the silver body, what are you polite? Lao Jiang is indeed his own person." β
Chen Shu saw that Jiang Hong was heroic and bold, and insisted on doing so, and it was not good for him to refuse. After a long groan, he had no choice but to be disrespectful. Jiang Hongying said with a smile: "Let's go, we are going to eat, Chen Shaoxia and I have a good drink." β
Chen Shu said embarrassedly: "Don't hide it from Brother Jiu and Brother Jiang, I still have a friend waiting at the inn, that ......"
When Wei Chunhua saw his expression, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I think it's a girl." "The matter of Chen Shu and Xiao Zhonghui Ma Chunhua that day, the Red Flower Club members all knew. As soon as Chen Shu saw his expression, he knew that his amorous impression was a little deeper, smiled bitterly, and said, "That girl and I are just ordinary friends...... Alas, forget it, I won't explain it to you. β
Jiang Hongying laughed and said: "People are not romantic teenagers, Lao Jiu himself is also a romantic character." I wonder if Chen Shaoxia's friend would like to get to know us coarsely?"
What he meant by this was that he didn't know the identity of the other party. If it is an ordinary woman, she is generally reluctant to show her head to meet outsiders, but there are not so many rules in the martial arts, and it is very rude if you don't ask others to eat together.
Chen Shu is not easy to make decisions for Wang Yuyan, but he thinks that when the foodie hears that there is white food to eat, he will not refuse.
The three of them walked towards the inn, and on the way, Chen Shu asked why Wei Chunhua was here. Wei Chunhua sighed and said, "Don't hide it from my brother, the situation in Qingjing is very bad. Princess Kunxing was imprisoned in the palace, and the brothers of the two brothers of the Heaven and Earth Red Flower wanted to save her, but the thieves were powerful, and several battles were in vain. This time, I went to a senior and asked him to help. β
Chen Shu frowned, thinking that the situation in Qingjing was so chaotic, wouldn't it be more difficult for him to save his family?
When they arrived at the inn, Wei Jiang and the others were waiting outside, and Chen Shu went into the backyard to find Wang Yuyan. As soon as I entered the door, I saw several children playing in the courtyard, and one of them was eating a cake in his hand. Wang Yuyan sat on the threshold, staring blankly at the cakes in the hands of those children. The little black cat was squatting on her shoulder, also wilting, and staring at it in the same way.
When Chen Shu saw the pitiful appearance of this person and a cat, his nose was sour inexplicably, he strode over, pulled her, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat good things!"
When Wang Yuyan heard that there was something good to eat, she was refreshed and followed him. But he didn't forget to shake his hand and said: "Men and women don't kiss!"
Chen Shu retracted his hand in a daze, and couldn't help but be a little amused.
When they came outside, Wei Jiang and the others couldn't help but be a little stunned when they saw Wang Yuyan, and it took a while to come back to their senses. Wei Chunhua secretly gave Chen Shuqiao a thumb and said in a low voice: "Brother is really powerful. β
I came to what is said to be the best restaurant in the county and asked for a good banquet. Wang Yuyan was still like that, she was full again without eating much, Chen Shu shook her head secretly, this girl is troublesome enough to raise.
During the banquet, Wei Chunhua and Jiang Hongying talked about the situation in martial arts, and Jiang Hongying said: "There was a big incident in the south, and Guo Daxia was assassinated. β
Chen Shu couldn't help but be taken aback, and said in a lost voice: "What?" stood up suddenly.
Jiang Hongying didn't know the relationship between Guo Jing and him, he was slightly stunned, and said: "Guo Jing Guo Daxia, he was assassinated outside Xiangyang City, this matter was probably last month, and now it has spread loudly, doesn't Chen Shaoxia know?"
Wei Chunhua hurriedly said: "Brother Chen, calm down, Guo Daxia is fine." Xiang Jiang Hongying said: "I haven't told you yet, Guo Daxia is Brother Chen's senior brother." β
Jiang Hongying exclaimed: "Chen Gongzi is the tall foot of the predecessor of the nine-fingered beggar? Hmm, don't worry, son, Guo Daxia's martial arts are world-famous, where can those young people be able to secretly calculate. β
Chen Shu sat down, and when asked for details, Jiang Hongying frowned and said, "The specific process is not clear to our side." I only know that there are not many assassins, and my martial arts are very high. Of course, no matter how high it is, it can't be as high as Guo Daxia. β
Wei Chunhua said: "This assassin must have been sent by the Hu people, Guo Daxia guarded Xiangyang, and the Hu people hated him to the core. β
Jiang Hongying shook his head slightly, and said: "That's not necessarily, I think it's more likely that the Han people will do it." β
Chen Shu was surprised: "Why did Brother Jiang say this?"
Jiang Hongying sighed and said, "In the past few years, the Hu people have been fighting with each other, and they have no worries. The Song family was dim and weak, and it had long lost the hearts of the people. Recently, there have been many ambitious figures, all of whom have the ambition to take advantage of the situation. It's just that Guo Jingzhen is guarding Xiangyang, whether it is the Hu people or someone else, if they want to subvert the Song Dynasty, it is impossible not to get rid of him. Guo Daxia not only has martial arts to the world, but also inherited Yue Wumu's art of war and the old department, and uses soldiers like gods, who in the world does not know. β
Chen Shu shook his head and said, "If you kill me...... Senior brother, when the Hu people invade the south again, will those people come out to resist?"
Jiang Hongying sneered: "Those careerists, where will they care about so much." β
The three of them sighed for a while, and Jiang Hongying said again: "As for the north, in addition to the changes in Qingjing and the eye-catching, it is the matter of the bloody knife evil monk." β
Chen Shu was stunned for a moment and asked, "How is the Blood Knife Evil Monk?" After he left yesterday, he didn't know what the situation was. However, he estimated that with the martial arts and wisdom of the Blood Knife Ancestor, the rabble of the land dragon plus the two of them would be extremely difficult to keep him.
Jiang Hongying said: "The bloody knife evil monk, this bird, brought a group of stinky lamas, robbed and killed in the Central Plains, and did all the bad things. During this time, it has caused public anger, and the Central Plains Martial Arts has been besieged and killed several times, but he has escaped. Moreover, I just heard a news two days ago that Yan Zongbi, the Jinguo Henan guard who was guarding Luoyang, wanted to recruit the Blood Knife Evil Monk into his account, thinking that he intended to shelter him. β
Wei Chunhua said angrily: "Wanyan Zongbi, a dignified high-ranking official of the Jin State, would he shelter such a thief?
Jiang Hongying sighed: "When Yan Zongbi first came to Luoyang, he pretended to be very enlightened and kind, and he was quite friendly to the Han people. But now that he has basically mastered the overall situation of Luoyang, no one can resist him anymore, and his true nature is revealed. No matter how many evil things the Blood Knife Evil Monk has done, as long as his martial arts are strong and can be used by him, he will not care about those. As for the public outrage, he doesn't care at all now. β
