Chapter Twenty-Four: Riding Alone to the Meeting
Tsing Yi River, a beautiful and changeable river. The tidal flats and fork rivers along the river can be seen everywhere in the www.biquge.info, and the water potential is flat, and it is difficult to distinguish the mainstream. In some places, it is "the cliff is like a knife, the wall is thousands of miles, and the middle is a line", which is really "the most dangerous in the world". In this winter, it is as calm as a stream, clear and trickling, gentle and moving, and in the summer flood period, it is tyrannical and turbulent, and in the place where it enters the gorge, it is like a dragon and a tiger, and its power is thrilling, and its heavenly power is unstoppable.
Here because the tidal flats are numerous, there are many good products in the pattern stones, on the pebble beach in the dry season, smooth and pure pebbles can be seen everywhere, the tentacles are warm and delicate, the color is like jade, there are ink blue, blue, and off-white, and the texture on the stone is wonderfully composed of figures, animals, vivid, people can't put it down, love it; there are the overall composition is concise and full, the color is bright and the contrast is good, clear and durable, and so on.
It is such a place, there is an ancient strategic town, called Yazhou City, which was once a battleground between the Central Plains Empire and the surrounding ethnic minorities. Therefore, the terrain is dangerous, and the tart is constantly felling, how many heroes and heroes are raised!
The noon hour had come, and the long narrow streets, the patchwork of stone pavement, had been soaked by a gentle rain in the morning, and the mud under the stone slabs turned out into a paste. The local special geographical climate, there is no severe cold in winter, just because of the rain for several days in a row, so that today, people feel particularly depressed and cold, coupled with the thick murderous atmosphere and tension that pervades the city, so the pedestrians on the street are becoming more and more rare.
The peculiar thing is that almost all the inns, hotels, and restaurants in the city are filled with some knights and strangers carrying weapons, which makes the residents of the old city suspicious and frightened, and of course, they are talking and speculating in whispers. In the end, they all felt that something big was about to happen in the city, and everyone was looking forward to it with the same curiosity.
Near the city gate, there is a large double-storey winery that can accommodate dozens of people to eat, the dam outside is wide and dirty, and a rough table and stool are placed under the eaves, which are used for cheap meals by coachmen and subordinates in a hurry. The lower floor of the village is for slightly more decent guests, and the price of the food is of course a little higher than that outside. The upstairs can be decorated in a luxurious style, and the chef is also a famous local chef, which is the best place for local dignitaries.
Of course, the restaurant is luxurious, and the name should also be good, just called "Yaweixuan", as the name suggests, the most delicious place in Yazhou City.
The strange thing is that there are two floors up and down, and there are all kinds of martial arts characters sitting inside, dressed in strange clothes, with swords on their backs, men, women and children. The tables and stools outside the door were not empty, and even a few tables and stools were added, and there were those who had no place to stand, frowning in vain, but their faces were still full of nervousness and excitement.
The winery is doing a good business and the guests are full, which should be a good thing to celebrate. However, the boss's family and a few shopkeepers jumped up and down, busy and happy, but their faces were full of sadness, worry, helplessness and caution, because most of these people had a few plates of dishes that were not worth a few dollars on the table in front of them, and the chopsticks were not moved; one or two pots of wine, the wine in the wine glasses were full, but no one tasted a sip, as if everyone was recuperating, waiting for people to chop and chop together, only to focus on countless pairs of eyes outside the city gate, on the road into the city, their faces were full of inexplicable anxiety and uneasiness.
The boss clearly understands that he is going to lose a lot of money today, and the business has not been done, and he may have lost all his money. Look at the outlaws on the rivers and lakes in front of you, where do you dare to offend a little bit? Look at the posture, today's catastrophe of the winery can not be avoided, Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless, you can bless the winery with a little less loss later!
"It's coming, it's coming!" suddenly someone broke the silence and exclaimed nervously.
Far away, but hearing the sound of iron hooves, knocking on the bluestone slab, "kicking! kicking ......" makes people's blood sink and depressed; the horse bell "jingle bell!" jingle ...... accompaniment, the sound is crisp and pleasant, making people feel the majestic elegance of the horse, slowly passing through a mountain path with fragrant flowers and birds and shady trees; as if the sun is warm in the spring season, the leaves of the woods next to the oblique shooting road, the aperture is all fantastic, so that the full of high-rollers in the rivers and lakes are soothing and quiet, making the atmosphere of the whole scene seem strange and unreasonable.
Half a cup of tea, at the end of the road, a pure white exotic treasure horse slowly appeared, with a golden shackle and a silver saddle, a golden chewing head, and the light was connoisseurship, full of style. The rider on the horse was also well dressed, wearing a white robe and flowing clothes, a golden belt entangled, a crown of silver needles on his head, starry eyes and eyebrows, looking forward to Shenfei, chic and free. That's not all, I saw an ordinary three-foot Qingfeng with a scabbard on his waist, a reins in his left hand, a crystal clear seven-hole jade flute in his right hand, and a pair of blue-black thin-soled fast boots on his feet.
Is this the Emei thief? Is it the murderer who killed countless heroes? Could it be that this young man has a beast's heart? Many people who saw Bai Wenyu had doubts in their hearts for no reason, and they were a little incredible.
A few days ago, when Bai Wenyu was in a county town called Hongya, using the gold and silver sent by Zheng Cai'e to build a saddle and iron hooves, he suddenly inexplicably received a dating letter from the owner of the second village of Jinshan in Qionglai, which was arrogant and domineering. He planned to ignore it, but after thinking about it, he walked the rivers and lakes by himself, and he could hide from the first year of junior high school, but he might not be able to hide from the fifteenth. Changing the original intention of low-key behavior, he built the saddle of the dragon with great fanfare, and he also carefully dressed it himself, so as to show the world: I Bai Wenyu is bright, frank, innocent, that is, the tree is not afraid of shadows.
At this moment, he came to the Hongmen banquet of the lord of the second village of Qionglai and Jinshan.
Along the way, Bai Wenyu didn't take today's date seriously at all, let go of the horse and rode slowly, admiring the beautiful and majestic mountains and rivers along the way, slowly and leisurely, walking leisurely, anyway, there was enough time for dating.
When I saw the city gate, I saw the eye-catching double-storey winery at a glance, full of strange-looking Jianghu people, who looked weird and looked at each other, as if they were their prey, the meat on their chopping board!
As soon as Bai Wenyu appeared, a group of neatly dressed and gorgeously dressed martial artists immediately poured out from the hotel gate, with vigorous steps and high temples.
The first one is a middle-aged man, dressed in fox fur, with a large steel knife with a sheath hanging from his waist; his face is fierce and fierce, his tiger eyes are full of might, and he faintly reveals an aggressive and murderous intention. Followed by a fifty-year-old man dressed as a master, with a goatee, and a lewd face, but the pair of bony eyes showed that he was a shrewd and cunning old fox.
The rest of the people, looking at the heads of the two horses, looked serious and dignified.
The man saw that Bai Wenyu stopped riding, easily dismounted, and immediately someone pointed out behind him, his face pretended to be surprised, so he nodded, and immediately strode forward, proudly clenched his fists, and shouted in a thick voice: "I didn't expect that Your Excellency has extraordinary courage and has the courage to come to the meeting alone.
Not long after Bai Wenyu debuted in the rivers and lakes, how do he know how many rules of etiquette in the rivers and lakes?
"Booming Leopard" Su Ming heard this, suddenly felt bored, couldn't think of the kid in front of him, didn't even have a kind word, his heart was slightly sick, in the end, the big thing was important, swallowed, pretended to be generous and said with a dry smile: "Hehe, don't worry, don't worry, and please go to the winery to sit down for a while, talk while drinking, please!"
Without waiting for Bai Wenyu to agree, he dodged and made a gesture with one hand, and the person behind him immediately pressed the weapon with his hand, and gave way to a human seam, which led directly to the main and guest seats in the store.
Bai Wenyu turned a blind eye, sneered in his heart, there was no fear on his face, he said "please" coldly, and outside the store, Gu Zizi walked into the main seat of the store. After that, "Booming Leopard" Su Ming and others followed closely like thieves.
Bai Wenyu, the "Heavenly Peerless Hero", has arrived, and immediately alarmed the people in the rivers and lakes all over the city, and they rushed to hear the news, and surrounded the winery.
In the winery, although everyone tacitly understands that they are still civilized people in the end, politeness is still required, so everyone politely sat down with the host, but no one moved the chopsticks and cups, they all sat upright, with a serious face.
"Booming Leopard" Su Ming sat in the first place, looking majestic and high-spirited, and there were two strong men standing straight behind him, each holding a sheathed machete, and four pairs of eyes were rudely staring at Bai Wenyu's face.
Bai Wenyu sat in the guest seat nonchalantly, holding the jade flute in his hand, pouring himself a glass of wine in one hand, and drinking it to his lips, just waiting for these people to sound the gong to open.
"White thief, you are in the Emei Golden Peak, mutilating fellow martial artists, snatching the 'Haotian Divine Jade', burning the thousand-year-old temple, and even more shamelessly raping and killing Xia Yufei Xia Woman of Tianxiang Palace, his methods are vicious and ......miserable" The old man who looked like the master sitting next to Su Ming of the "Booming Sky Leopard" took the lead in making a move, and his tone was gloomy, full of provocative rights and wrongs, so as to arouse the momentum of the martial arts people to hate the enemy.
"Nonsense, if you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse! The matter of Emei Jinding is not done below, but it is just a timely meeting to substitute for others, and it is all said here! If you don't believe it, the heavens are clear, and there is a day in the white world, and there is no need for Your Excellency to blame?" Bai Wenyu unceremoniously interrupted the old man's words, his voice was cold, and his eyes were full of anger.
"Hehe, the old man's 'soul chaser' Ram Shu is the master of the Netherworld Valley. Your Excellency is sophistry, who in the world believes that the human and material evidence are clear, see how you can escape the justice of the heroes today?" "Soul Chaser" Ram Shu was gloomy, reported to his home, and pleaded with all the heroes present to join forces against the enemy, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, think about the battle of Emei Jinding, one palace, two valleys and three major forts, so many heroes and heroes were present, but they have not been able to capture this son, not to mention their own gang of rabble? It seems that there are many people, but there are few masters who can fight, and those strong helpers have not arrived for a long time, I don't know why.
