Chapter Seven: The Murder in Luoyang (I)

The three of them were secretly surprised, but they didn't expect the one-eyed man to be familiar with Dalong. Zhou Kai www.biquge.info said: "I haven't heard of it. The one-eyed man frowned and muttered, "It's strange, it's time for him to come." With that, he waved his hand and pushed them away.

The three of them took the opportunity to go upstairs and hide. After the gang had eaten, they left the inn. Zhu Yushi thought that they must have traveled overnight for important things, but he had no intention of meddling in things, so he sat on the bed and practiced. In the past year, he has not practiced as diligently as Luo Tianchu, first, he has a family, and he usually has a lot of chores. Second, he is not very interested in practicing martial arts, thinking that martial arts are enough, and there is no need to pursue the peak, but now in order to take revenge, he seizes every opportunity to practice martial arts, and deeply regrets the time wasted before.

The internal skills he and Luo Tianchu practiced were all "Yijin Jing". Luo Tianchu had already practiced the entire book, including the last twelve pages of the illustrated scriptures. Although Zhu Yushi's internal strength increased greatly after drinking snake blood, he still did not practice the last three styles in the Tujing, namely "Wolong Fighting Style", "Bowing Style" and "Gongwei Style". Although the posture on the picture is not difficult to learn, it is difficult to punch the acupoint method, which is a big bottleneck for him who has not opened the second pulse of Ren Du, and the current achievements are quite rare.

He tried three more times to rush the acupoint, but all failed, and he knew that it was hopeless to try again, so he started from scratch and practiced step by step. An hour later, he entered the realm of keeping oneness of the mind, as if he was asleep, and his true qi flowed along Xiao Zhoutian on his own. After another two hours, when he had finished practicing, he fell to sleep.

The next day, Zhou Kai paid for the store, and the three of them continued to hurry. On the way, he met many refugees, but when it rained, the money and food were gone, and it was difficult to give alms. And Zhou Kai and Cao Sanmin were worried, for fear of meeting the horse gang again. In short, there was nothing to do all the way, and I arrived in Luoyang at dusk that day.

The heroes of Luoyang and Chang'an are not comparable. Their majesty lies not in the huge city walls, nor in the strong city walls, but in the majestic shore of the thousand-year-old capital, and the profound and far-reaching cultural wind. I think about how many saints and famous generals were between the two capitals, and how many beautiful stories have endured through a hundred dynasties. Standing under the city of Luoyang, it has witnessed the prosperity of the Zhou and Han dynasties, and after the imperial capital of the thirteen dynasties, it has now fallen into the hands of the pseudo-Qi.

Luo Tianchu has said many times that Qi is not worthy of having a capital like Luoyang, it is vertical and horizontal in the mountains and rivers, east of Songyue, north of Taihang, according to the danger of the Yellow River, eight passes of the capital, surrounded by five waters, rivers and mountains arch, the center of the world. Zhu Yushi thought to himself that if Luo Tianchu could really occupy Luoyang and sit on the two capitals, he might really have the qualifications to win the country.

Luoyang's garrison can be described as quite lax. Although the guards were not small, they were listless and disheveled, which showed a long-term lack of training. Zhu Yushi thought to himself that he would observe the deployment in the city this time, and told Luo Tianchu when he went back.

After entering the city, I saw the wanted portrait on the wall, the first one was Luo Tianchu, and the reward amount was as high as 600,000 taels, and the second place Lu Fei was 400,000 taels. Liu Shaoqing, Zhao Hengshan and himself are all 300,000 taels, and Gu Yao and Yan Weifeng also have 150,000 taels. Zhu Yushi didn't expect that Liu Shaoqing would be on the list so quickly, it seems that he left a deep impression on Wushu.

Cao Sanmin smiled: "The bounty is tempting, but it's a pity that we don't have the ability to kill, so let's just watch the fun." Zhu Yushi said: "There must be brave men under the heavy reward, how can there be no assassins to take risks with such a high reward." Zhou Kai said: "Luo Tianchu They are all super-first-class masters, and there are only a dozen people in the world who can be their opponents, and ordinary assassins are the opponents of the Blood Sword Castle." Cao Sanmin said: "What are the masters of the Southern Song Dynasty court?" Zhou Kai thought for a while and said, "I can't think of any commendable characters." Cao Sanmin said: "Han Jiedu was born with divine power, he once broke the enemy with 50 people in the Hutuo River, and the battle of Huang Tiandang made the Jin people talk about the water color change, isn't he one?" Zhou Kai said: "I'm talking about the top master in the martial arts, Han Shizhong is brave and brave, comparable to Wanyan Lou's room, but he is not a martial arts master." ”

Cao Sanmin continued: "Yue Shaobao is invincible, there is no defeat, the Yue family's marksmanship is the best in the world, it is finally one." Zhou Kai said: "Everyone in the world knows that Yue Shaobao uses soldiers like a god. But how high his marksmanship is still needs to be verified, and it is difficult to conclude now. Cao Sanmin said: "Why is it difficult to draw conclusions?" Zhou Kai said: "Most of the people I listed just now participated in the Yanjing martial arts competition, and they stood out from hundreds of masters, and their strength is recognized. Yue Shaobao's opponents are mostly Jin State generals, rogue horse thieves, and they have not fought against real masters, so there is no way to judge. Cao Sanmin said: "What you said is also reasonable, but I still think that Yue Shaobao's martial arts are by no means inferior to those people." Zhou Kai said with a smile: "I know that you respect Yue Shaobao, and I am the same, and I also hope that he can lead his troops north to recover the rivers and mountains and liberate our people." Cao Sanmin said with a smile: "People like you and me have also talked about the heroes of the world, but if you really talk about it, it's better to go to your noodle restaurant and talk about it while eating and drinking." Zhou Kai laughed and said, "Good idea, two please!"

Luoyang has been devastated by many wars, and the population of the city is only half of its original size. Many of the private houses and shops have not been restored to this day, and only a few shops are open on the wide, straight bluestone street. There were not many people walking, most of them were old people and children. Zhou Kai said: "Almost all young and strong men are forcibly recruited into the army. The young women were afraid to go out into the streets and hid in their homes. Zhu Yushi sighed: "What kind of ghost world is this?" Cao Sanmin said in a low voice: "Brother Fu is cautious, be careful that the wall has ears." Zhu Yushi said strangely: "Do you have to be taken care of when you speak?" Zhou Kai said: "What Liu Yu, the king of Qi, is most afraid of is that the people will rebel, and he has issued a "revelation order", no matter who reports the rebellion, he will be rewarded with money, and the reported person will be punished according to the crime of treason, and he will be beheaded in a serious way. As soon as this order was issued, there were countless unjust, false and wrongful cases, some personal enemies were deliberately framed, profit-seekers were asking around, and it was not safe to even sleep at night, who knew if there was anyone squatting under the wall. Zhu Yushi shook his head and said: "This is too terrible, it really hurts the people of Luoyang." Cao Sanmin hurriedly said: "Brother Fu is silent." Zhu Yushi had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

After walking through two long streets, I saw a two-storey restaurant at the entrance of the street, with a medium grade and a plaque with the words "Heluo Noodle Restaurant". Zhou Kai smiled: "That is our little shop." Zhu Yushi said with a smile: "No wonder Brother Zhou's noodles can be made so authentically, it turns out that he is an old expert in making noodles." Zhou Kai said: "Luoyang people love to eat noodles, so they just do what they like." Not to boast, my noodle restaurant is also one of the three most authentic old shops in Luoyang City. Cao Sanmin pointed to the first "Nanshan Teahouse" on Zuo Street and said: "That teahouse is my small business, although the location is not as good as Brother Zhou's Golden Horn and Silver Edge, the business is reasonable." Zhou Kai said with a smile: "Opening a tea house next to a noodle restaurant is Brother Cao's cleverness. After eating, I had a stomach full of oil and water, and I just went to the teahouse to wash my intestines. Cao Sanmin laughed and said, "Help each other, help each other." ”

The three of them walked into the noodle restaurant, and fifty percent of the seats on the first floor were already there, and Zhou Kai smiled with satisfaction: "The business is reasonable." "There were sweet garlic and chili peppers on the guests' tables, and everyone was sweating profusely, and they all ate a bite of noodles, a sip of soup, and then breathed a sigh of relief. The shopkeeper and the guy greeted him and said, "The owner is back, oh, and Boss Cao." Zhou Kai said: "How is the business during this time?" The shopkeeper said: "Everything is normal, the owner can rest assured." Zhou Kai nodded, and said when introducing Zhu Yu: "This is Fu Xianggong, a friend I met on the road, go get three bowls of Heluo noodles, put more chili peppers and coriander, six sweet garlic, and Du Kang on the wine." The shopkeeper smiled: "I know that the owner is good, and he will come immediately." Cao Sanmin said to a fellow: "Go and tell the store that I'm back, and let them make a pot of top-grade hair tips and send it." The man answered.

The three of them went upstairs and sat down next to the window, at this time the sun was westerly, the sunset was red like a duck's egg, the sky was full of golden light, the red glow flowed, and it was very beautiful. Cao Sanmin leaned back in the chair, pillowed his head on his arm and sighed: "The current Luoyang is a fart, and the Luoyang when we were young is the real Luoyang City." Zhou Kai looked around and said, "Although there is no one here, it is better to be careful when you speak." Cao Sanmin said: "That's why I said that the current Luoyang is a fart." Zhou Kai sighed and felt the same way. At this time, a guy from the Nanshan Teahouse ran upstairs and brought them a teapot.

Cao Sanmin poured the tea himself, and Zhu Yushi took a sip and said, "I drank Maojian once, but it is far worse than Brother Cao's pot." Cao Sanmin smiled proudly: "The tip of my pot is the top grade of one bud and one leaf." Anyway, the knowledge of tea tasting is great, and I will take it slowly when I finish eating and come to my store. Zhou Kai said: "Your tea can't be finished for three days and three nights, it's better for Brother Fu to stay longer, let us also take you to see the scenery around Luoyang." Speaking of this, he suddenly sighed and said: "When I was a teenager, Brother Cao and I often went to live next to the stream in the Luanchuan forest, playing in the water and catching fish during the day, hunting and touring the mountains, and setting up a bonfire at night, barbecuing and eating wine. However, the older I get, the more unproductive I become, and my mind is full of making money to support my family, and I no longer have the interest of the year. ”

Cao Sanmin said: "Just through Brother Fu's coming this time, let's swim together again, how about looking for the speed of the year?" Zhou Kai smiled: "I also have this intention, I don't know what Brother Fu wants?" Zhu Yushi said apologetically: "Thank you for your kindness, in fact, the kind of life of knotting the mountain spring and roaming the forest is also longing for in the next, but I really have important things to do, and I dare not delay the trip, please forgive me." Zhou Kai said: "It doesn't matter, there is wine today and drunk today, and tomorrow will be sad." (To be continued.) )
