Chapter 251: Hearsay
The sound of horses' hooves stopped at the door.
After a while, three monks dressed in red and yellow heavy monk's robes came in.
After looking around, they sat in the corner of the inn against the wall, and the dishes they ordered were also meat and vegetables, and they also served a lot of rice wine.
Here, Xiao Er scalded two pots of rice wine for Yue Ziran, and put out a plate of broad beans, a plate of salted peanuts, a plate of dried tofu, and three cut salted eggs for Yue Ziran to drink.
"Retribution is coming. The scholar who had provoked the topic before continued: "It's a pity that the Mongols called, after all, it wasn't my Great Song Army who drove a long car north, stepped through the Helan Mountain, and was ashamed of Jingkang. β
"Didn't the imperial court form an alliance with the Mongols to deal with the Jin people earlier? The man in brocade said with a fist.
"I was afraid that the Jin people would be driven away, and the Mongols would come again. β
This old man named Zhang Shifu is still full of compassion and compassion as he was when he passed through Niujia Village more than ten years ago.
He sighed and said, "This Mongolian is even more powerful than the Jin people, and when the time comes, I may not know how to harm my thousands of people." β
"I heard that the Mongols slaughtered every city they attacked in the north, but I don't know if it's true?" Xiao Er, who was waiting on the side, was well-informed, and said at this time.
Most of the people present were from the town, and everyone didn't think he was abrupt. The scholar said: "This thing is not groundless, think that the Mongols rose in the desolate land in the north, and the barbaric habits can not be shaken off, let alone slaughtering the city, maybe the cannibalistic things are done." β
The others listened to it and thought so, and the people who were still happy about the retribution of the Dajin Kingdom began to be pessimistic again.
"Humph!"
Among the three monks who walked in earlier. The fat monk with long hair slapped the chicken leg in his hand on the table and said angrily: "Cannibalism! Grandpa still drinks blood." A flock of birdmen spoiled Grandpa's interest in eating. β
Seeing this, Xiao Er hurriedly apologized to the three of them: "A few masters, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He turned to a few regular customers who had been talking to him before, and said, "Everyone, our guests here can still eat, don't talk about those unappetizing things." β
The others knew they were wrong, and they each snorted. Start changing the subject. They asked the storyteller Zhang 15 to tell some other stories.
Zhang Wufu couldn't resist everyone's requests, and it happened that the big man in brocade clothes who was waving his fist earlier invited him to two more pots of wine. So he took a sip of rice wine, moistened his throat, and habitually beat the bamboo stick in his left hand on a small drum. Suddenly came to his senses. He clenched his fists again and again and said, "Everyone." I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm interested in talking to you today. I will not talk about the things that are done in the book, but I will tell you about the great things that are happening now. β
"What's happening now?" the scholar asked.
"It's a big thing happening in the north. Zhang Wufu said slowly.
Storytellers generally have this problem, and it's best to put it off until a pot of wine is finished, and then someone else will invite you to drink on their own.
"Isn't it the north that the Mongols fought the Golden Man and retreated?" asked the brocade-clothed man.
Although he was well dressed, he couldn't avoid being a little tacky when he spoke, and looking at the smug look he had just smiled at the others when he was giving Zhang Shifu wine, Yue Ziran speculated that he should be a newly developed figure in the town, and his hobby should be to listen to some interesting things in the inn.
"You are not people who walk the rivers and lakes, so I don't know much about it. β
Zhang Shifu couldn't avoid the fact that ordinary storytellers were so proud of his well-informed mistakes, and he smiled: "Recently, in the northern Dajin Kingdom, we Han people have produced a great big man......
Huang Rong pricked up her ears and listened carefully, forgetting to eat her meal.
Yue Ziran could only knock on the bowl in front of her, pinched a few chopsticks of her favorite dishes, and said, "Eat quickly, rest early for a while, and I have to hurry tomorrow." β
"Yes. Huang Rong turned her head and responded meekly.
But I heard that Zhang Fifteen said: "This big man is also surnamed Yue, his name is Ziran, and he is a big man like Grandpa Yue." β
Huang Rong suddenly stopped what she was doing.
She turned her head to look at Zhang Shifu, then turned her head to stare at Yue Ziran, and muttered softly in confusion: "Big shot, when did you become a big man?"
Naturally, the others didn't understand it either, and asked, "What kind of big man is this Yue Ziran?"
"Iron Palm helps everyone know, right?" Zhang Fifteen asked.
The Iron Palm Gang used to be all over the south of the Yangtze River, from the peddlers and pawns to the high-ranking officials and nobles, all of whom were indispensable to deal with them, and naturally they had all seen their prestige.
"The leader of the Iron Palm Gang was killed by this son-in-law with a sword. After that, Zhang 15 also gestured and said: "With that sword, the characters who once surprised the world were removed from the rivers and lakes." β
"It's no wonder that the people of the Iron Palm Gang have disappeared recently, so Zhang Datou picked up the cheap dock and made a fortune, it turned out that the leader of the Iron Palm Gang let the family kill him. The scholar suddenly realized.
When the person next to him heard this, he said to the brocade-clothed man: "Zhang Datou, you have to thank that son-in-law in this way." β
Zhang Datou touched his head honestly and said, "So that's the case, I'm still worried that their people will come back to retaliate against me these days." β
The Great Song Dynasty has been heavy and light on martial arts since Zhao Kuangyin. The scholar said unconvinced: "The Iron Palm Gang is rumored to have defected to the enemy and betrayed the country, and this son-in-law is naturally very happy to kill its gang leader, but it is a bit unorthodox to compare it with Yue Feiyue's grandfather, right?"
Zhang 15 said: "Of course that's not the case, I've said the north." As you know, the reason for the decline of the Dajin Kingdom is not only because of the strength of the Mongols, but also because of the merits of our Han people. β
"How do you say that?" the scholar asked, he was still regretting the defeat of the Dajin Kingdom just now, without the credit of the Han people.
"This son-in-law is the leader of the beggar gang, he is now leading tens of thousands of beggar gang disciples to revolt against Jin in Shandong, and now it has developed to an incredible point, that is, the prince of Dajin wants to resist the iron cavalry of the Mongols with all his might, and he has to think of stabilizing this son first. Zhang 15 said.
"Recently, there has also been a rebel army in Xiangyang, and I heard that it is also a subordinate of this son-in-law. β
"Awesome. Hearing the smugness, the brocade-clothed man clapped his hands and said: "Such a person can be regarded as a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, a hero." Compared with the son-in-law, those well-known Eastern Evil people are simply far behind. β
Huang Rong was very happy when she heard others praise her sweetheart. But after hearing the words of the big man, "The Eastern Evil Generations are simply far behind", the happy handsome face suddenly became displeased, and when he saw that the person who was praised was in front of him, he was angry and stepped on Yue Ziran under the table to vent his anger.
Not only that, but she also snatched the rice wine in Yue Ziran's hand and said, "Don't drink anymore, you must limit the amount of alcohol you drink from today." β
Yue Ziran, who was affected by the pond fish, was very innocent, and said in a low voice: "They are all hearsay, and my father-in-law and his old man are definitely the biggest heroes in my mind."
Miss Huang still doesn't follow him.
"You can't say that. Zhang Fifteen over there retorted to the brocade-clothed man: "I heard that the fiancΓ©e of this father-in-law is the daughter of the Eastern Evil." β
The brocade-clothed man was suddenly choked, snorted, and motioned to Zhang Shifu to speak.
Zhang 15 continued: "Now the beggar gang has just removed the Iron Palm Gang, and the famous crown covers the rivers and lakes, and the chivalrous man is the only son-in-law. When the time comes, don't talk about the Dajin Kingdom, maybe the Mongols will be beaten by the son-in-law. (To be continued......)
