17. Whoever sees the moon can sit idle, where to smell the lights and not see
On the fifteenth night of the first month, the jade wheel was on the ground. The pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info in the city of the famous mansion, full of silver fireworks and fire trees, shoulder to shoulder, lively and extraordinary.
As early as sunset, Xu Yun had been pulled out by Hua Qian to wander around the street. He saw that there were more and more people on the street, and estimated that the time should be almost over, so he said to Hua Qian: "Xiao Qian, I have something to do, I want to go to Yishui Pavilion." You go ahead and play yours, and when you're tired, go home and don't have to wait for me. β
"Are you going to Yishui Pavilion, then I'll go too!" Hua Qian shouted as he looked at the lanterns.
"No, you stay here. Xu Yun replied categorically. After saying that, he left Hua Qian and left.
"Brother Yun, if you want to drink the wine of forgetfulness, let's go home and drink it, there are still several altars at home, why go to the Yishui Pavilion? Although there is also a lantern festival there, I think the street is more lively, you see, there are still snacks sold on the street!" Hua Qian saw Xu Yun leaving, so he followed him and kept chattering.
Seeing that Xu Yun didn't pay attention to himself and only cared about walking in the direction of Yishui Pavilion, he rushed forward and pointed at Xu Yun and said, "Oh, I know, you're going to see the girl, right? Haha, you must have been fascinated by that Qiaoqiao girl, right?"
Xu Yun still ignored Hua Qian.
When he was about to arrive at Yishui Pavilion, Xu Yun suddenly stopped and said to Hua Qian: "Xiao Qian, there will be a fight in Yishui Pavilion tonight, it is very dangerous, you better not follow." β
"It's okay, with you, what's there to be afraid of?" Hua Qian said nonchalantly, "I want to see what you martial arts people are like when you fight." β
Xu Yun saw that Hua Qian insisted on going to Yishui Pavilion, and said helplessly: "Okay, if you really start to do it at that time, I won't be able to take care of you, you have to be more careful." β
Seeing that Xu Yun agreed, Hua Qian strode forward and entered the Yishui Pavilion before Xu Yun.
Standing in the lobby of Yishui Pavilion today to welcome guests is the Qiaoqiao girl who wore a pink dress and danced on the stage a few days ago. Hua Qian looked back at Xu Yun, who had stepped into the Yishui Pavilion a few steps later than him, and lowered his voice and said to him, "You really came for the girl." β
Xu Yun didn't answer, but pulled Hua Qian to sit down in the corner. He looked around and saw that there were many people dressed as beggars sitting in the lobby, and the three beggars from Hebei were among them, and he couldn't help but secretly feel funny: "Since it is to assassinate the Khitan royal family, you should always do something to cover it up, how can there be so many beggars in a place like Yishui Pavilion? β
"Hey, Brother Yun, look, that Quan Chengkong is also here. Hua Qian patted the back of Xu Yun's hand and said with a smile, "I'll go over and pull him to sit with us." β
"No, you've done it for me. Xu Yun pressed Hua Qian's shoulder and didn't let him get up.
"What's wrong?" Hua Qian asked in surprise.
"Didn't I tell you there was going to be a fight here tonight, and everybody sitting here here could be my enemy, so you'd better give me some peace. Xu Yun said in a low voice.
"Well, it's up to you. Hua Qian originally thought that Xu Yun's "fighting" was just looking for an excuse to break away from himself, but at this moment, seeing Xu Yun's expression was extremely serious, it didn't seem to be fake, so he panicked slightly. After a while, Hua Qian opened his mouth and said to Xu Yun: "Brother Yun, those beggars over there are murderous one by one, do you want to do something with them in a while?"
"Xiao Qian, why do you say that?" Xu Yun immediately opened his mouth to ask when he saw Hua Qian mention the people of the Beggar Gang.
"Because those beggars don't drink alcohol or eat meat, they just sit there with sticks and stare at the door, and anyone who looks at them will think that they are trying to find someone to fight!" Hua Qian looked at the people of the beggar gang and said slowly.
Xu Yun said "um", and then fell silent again. He looked at Quan Chengkong, who was sitting in the center of the lobby, and saw that Quan Chengkong's eyes were staring at the Qiaoqiao girl who was constantly walking around in the lobby, and said in his heart: "It seems that he is only here for Qiaoqiao girl, not to agree to the invitation of the three beggars in Hebei to help the beggars." β
Xu Yun followed Quan Chengkong's gaze, looked at the Qiaoqiao girl floating in the lobby, and suddenly his heart moved: "Xiao Qian has no experience in the rivers and lakes, and he can see that the people of the beggar gang are abnormal." The owner of this Yishui Pavilion can do such a big business in the Daimyo's Mansion, and he must have been on the rivers and lakes for many years, could he not see that there is a problem with those beggars? Moreover, this Yishui Pavilion is a place frequented by dignitaries and nobles, in order to take care of the distinguished guests, how can the shopkeeper casually let the beggars in? It seems that Bacheng of the owner of this Yishui Pavilion also participated in the plan of the beggar gang to assassinate Yelu Longqing. β
Xu Yun stared at Miss Qiaoqiao for a while, and thought to himself: "If I'm not mistaken, this woman must be equipped with martial arts." She didn't dance on it today, but she ran down to accompany the guests, I'm afraid she had other plans. β
"My God, Brother Yun, look at who that person is standing at the door!" Suddenly, Hua Qian took Xu Yun's arm and whispered in his ear.
Xu Yun listened to Hua Qian's words, turned his head to look at the door, and saw a burly man striding into Yishui Pavilion. This person was dressed in a black fox fur, and his feet were on the jade clouds, and as soon as he entered the door, he went straight to the empty table in the center of the lobby. Although he wears the soft-footed hat that a literati and scholars often like to wear, his cold eyes are already telling everyone that poetry is not what he likes to do with dance and writing, and only Jin Ge Iron Horse can open up the territory and expand the territory to talk about life.
"What a great man!" Xu Yun couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, "This person must be Yelu Longqing, the king of Khitan Liang, this kind of power that is different from ordinary people, if he wasn't born in the emperor's family since he was a child, how could he learn it?"
"Brother Yun, my third uncle is also here, are you going to fight with him?" Hua Qian muttered to Xu Yun.
"Your third uncle?" Xu Yun looked at Hua Qian suspiciously, "Is your third uncle here too?"
Hua Qian pointed to the center of the hall and said to Xu Yun: "Well, next to the big man in black, isn't it my third uncle?"
Xu Yun fixed his eyes, and sure enough, he saw Yelu Longqing beside him, followed by a thin man with a small head, who seemed to be constantly talking to Yelu Longqing. Xu Yun couldn't remember what Hua Yongfu, the third uncle of Tsinghua Qian, looked like, and after identifying it for a long time, he said suspiciously: "Are you sure that is your third uncle?
Hua Qian unconsciously let go of his voice and said, "What Khitans?" Brother Yun, what are you talking about?" Xu Yun hurriedly covered Hua Qian's mouth and said, "Silence!" Hua Qian broke Xu Yun's hand hard and whispered: "What's the matter, what are you talking about the Khitans, what the hell is going on?"
Xu Yun watched Yelu Longqing and Hua Yongfu sit down at a table behind Quan Chengkong, and whispered to Hua Qian: "The person who is with your third uncle is likely to be the younger brother of the Khitan Emperor, Yelu Longqing. β
When Hua Qian heard this, he looked at Yelu Longqing in horror and looked at it a few times before saying, "How do you know, have you seen that Yelu Longqing before?"
Xu Yun said: "No, I haven't seen it." β
"Then it shouldn't be, how could my third uncle sit with the Khitans?" Hua Qian said with a smile, "If my second uncle knew that he was in the company of the Khitans, he wouldn't break his legs?"
Xu Yun nodded, squinted at the beggar disciples in the Yishui Pavilion, and saw that they had all moved their eyes to the center of the hall, so he secretly said in his heart: "It seems that that person is Yelu Longqing." β
"Ahh "Since Na Yelu Longqing sat down, the Yishui Pavilion has been much quieter. At this time, the sudden sound of talking outside the door also became clear and audible, causing everyone to look towards the door.
I saw a scholar holding a folding fan in one hand, smiling at the door, followed by an old man wearing a hat and a middle-aged man dressed gorgeously.
The scholar took a step towards the door, hesitated for a moment, and then led the two behind him to sit down at a square table to the right of Yelu Longqing.
When the girl saw the three of them seated, she stepped forward and said, "Three distinguished guests, what do you want?"
Before the scholar could speak, the middle-aged man said, "I don't know what this girl is called?"
"Qiaoqiao, Su Qiaoqiao. β
"Oh, it's Miss Qiaoqiao - Miss Qiaoqiao is new here, isn't she?"
"It's not. β
"Yes, but I heard that the girls of Yishui Pavilion asked: 'Childe, do you want to have something to play?' The middle-aged man smiled, "Is it because there are older people among the three of us, and you are afraid that we will not move?" The scholar and the old man couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
That Su Qiaoqiao blushed and didn't know how to respond. When the middle-aged man saw Su Qiaoqiao's appearance, he smiled, and reached out to touch her. I don't want Su Qiaoqiao to take a small step back, lightly avoiding the man's hand, and said softly: "I'll bring a few pots of forgetful wine to a few guests." β
Hua Yongfu, who was on the side, saw that Su Qiaoqiao was leaving, so he waved at her and shouted: "Give us two pots of forgetful wine, and add a plate of cooked beef!"
Su Qiaoqiao nodded, then turned around and left.
Xu Yun saw from a distance the body technique used by Su Qiaoqiao to dodge, and decided that she was a person who practiced martial arts. He looked at the place where Yelu Longqing was sitting, and couldn't help but secretly feel a headache: "There are so many masters in the Yishui Pavilion ambush tonight, Yelu Longqing is still sitting in the center, and it will take some trouble to save him in a while." β
"Three guest officers, the wine is here. Su Qiaoqiao gently placed the three pots of wine on the table of the scholar and his party.
"Thank you, Miss Su. The fan-holding scholar pointed at those beggar disciples with a fan and asked Su Qiaoqiao in a loud voice, "Miss Su, Xiao Ke really doesn't know something, this Yishui Pavilion is also a well-known and elegant place in this area, how can there be so many beggars gathered here?"
"This ......" Su Qiaoqiao blushed and hesitated for a long time, but she didn't know how to explain it to the scholar who held the fan. Hua Yongfu on the side saw that Su Qiaoqiao didn't bring the wine and meat to his table, so he shouted: "That woman, why don't you bring my wine and meat quickly, and talk nonsense with that scholar!"
"Yes, yes. Su Qiaoqiao nodded, then turned around and ran away.
The three beggars in Hebei sat closer to the center, and when they heard the words of the scholar Fang Cai, one of the three beggars, Li Er, got up and scolded: "Your grandmother, can't you come to Yishui Pavilion if you call Huazi, who does the rabbit cub look down on?"
The scholar holding the fan looked at Li Er, opened the folding fan in his hand, covered his mouth and nose and said, "What a vulgar person, it's really harmful." β
Li Er glared at the scholar holding the fan and said, "What 'big teeth' and 'second teeth', don't drop the bookbag there!"
The scholar holding the fan shook the folding fan and said with a smile: "I just said 'it's harmful', where is the bookbag dropped? If that's the case, your bookbag is inevitably too shallow! People like you can come to Yishui Pavilion, and look at this famous Yishui Pavilion in Hebei, how can the style not be high!"
Li Er's face was red, he was angry for a while, he didn't know what to say, and pointed to the scholar who was holding the fan and said, "You...... You ......"
"My Yishui Pavilion has always been eclectic, as long as I can afford to pay the silver, they are all my guests, I will let him enter my Yishui Pavilion to sit, drink wine, and have fun. Suddenly, a person strode into the Yishui Pavilion. When many people in the hall saw this person, they all got up and saluted, "Treasurer Wu!" The man smiled and saluted everyone as he walked into the center of the hall.
Seeing that everyone was extremely respectful to this person, the scholar who was holding the fan put away the folding fan, got up and said, "Dare to ask who this isβ"
"In Xia Wu Chengfang, he is the owner of this Yishui Pavilion. β
"Oh, it turned out to be the shopkeeper, what a disrespectful and disrespectful. The fan scholar said with a smile.
Wu Chengfang bowed his hand slightly, which was regarded as a return salute to the scholar holding the fan, and then he tapped his left foot and jumped onto the stage on the second floor.
"This person is so powerful, such a high place, it is easy to go up. Hua Qian said in surprise, "But his clothes are too fancy, and his good white coat is embroidered with peony flowers." β
Xu Yun smiled when she heard this: "What's so strange about this, she is a woman, and she dresses fancyly and nothing." β
Hua Qian's eyes widened and he looked at Xu Yundao, "What? You said she was a woman?"
Xu Yun nodded and said, "Well, as soon as she entered the door just now, I smelled a burst of fat powder aroma, so I guess she is a woman." β
Hua Qian pinched his nose, sniffed vigorously a few times, and said, "There is no smell, let's sit so far away from the Wu shopkeeper, how can you smell it? Is your nose a dog's nose?"
Xu Yun glanced at Wu Chengfang on the second floor, and said to Hua Qian: "The way she went upstairs just now is very similar to that Qiaoqiao girl's body style, they are all women's light moves, but her moves are much better than Qiaoqiao girl's. β
When Hua Qian heard this, he instantly became more confused: "When have you ever seen Miss Qiaoqiao go upstairs? Could it be that you have secretly followed her?"
Xu Yun saw that the more he and Hua Qian explained, the more entangled they became, so he narrowed his slender eyes and stopped talking.
Seeing that Xu Yun ignored him, Hua Qian became more and more curious, and just wanted to ask Xu Yun when he followed the beautiful Qiaoqiao girl, but he heard Wu Chengfang upstairs say loudly: "Friends present, today is the Lantern Festival, I, Yishui Pavilion, took this opportunity to hold a special Lantern Festival for you to thank you for taking care of Wu's business over the years, and please be able to enjoy your face later! He is the younger brother of the Emperor of the Khitan Kingdom, Yelu Longqing, King of Liang!" After that, she pointed down with her hand, and everyone saw Su Qiaoqiao walking towards Yelu Longqing and Hua Yongfu with two pots of wine and a plate of cooked beef.
Hua Yongfu saw that Wu Chengfang recognized Yelu Longqing, he was slightly panicked, he stood up, and just wanted to leave with Yelu Longqing, but heard Su Qiaoqiao say: "Two guest officers, the wine and meat are served to you, where are you going?"
Before the words fell, I saw Su Qiaoqiao take out a dagger from the bottom of the plate, flip his wrist, and stab directly at Yelu Longqing. Hua Yongfu was shocked when he saw this: "Don't do it!" At the same time, his right palm swung out and hit Su Qiaoqiao's chest.
Su Qiaoqiao took a few steps back, and vomited a mouthful of blood with a "wow", but she was not afraid, and stabbed Yelu Longqing with a dagger again. However, this time, Su Qiaoqiao's wrist was grasped by the gorgeously dressed middle-aged man at the adjacent table.
"Qiaoqiao girl, what are you going to do here? Didn't you listen to what the Wu shopkeeper said, King Liang is a distinguished guest of Yishui Pavilion, how can you be disrespectful to King Liang? Put down the dagger quickly, a woman's hand is not used to hold a blade. He stroked Su Qiaoqiao's slippery wrist and said slowly.
Su Qiaoqiao slapped Hua Yongfu firmly, and his internal breath was in turmoil, and he couldn't speak at all. Seeing that Su Qiaoqiao didn't speak, the middle-aged man smiled, stretched out his hand to touch her chest and said, "I'll examine the girl's injuries." β
Seeing that he was about to take advantage, the middle-aged man suddenly felt that there was a wind blowing in his face, and his heart was not good, so he had to let go of Su Qiaoqiao's wrist and wave his palms forward with all his might.
Hearing only a "bang", the middle-aged man took a few steps back, and when he looked closely, he saw a poor scholar standing in front of him, holding Su Qiaoqiao with his eyes closed in his arms.
This impoverished scholar is naturally empty.
Quan Chengkong hugged Su Qiaoqiao, looked at the place where the three beggars in Hebei were sitting expressionlessly, and said coldly: "A group of cowards." β
After saying that, he hugged Su Qiaoqiao tightly and rushed out of Yishui Pavilion quickly.
