Chapter 13 Yizhou City
In Shu, it enjoys the reputation of "the kingdom of heaven" and is rich in products. Located in Jiannan Road, it has a unique geographical location and has always been a must-have place for soldiers. In Yizhou City, a peaceful life has not made this ancient city relax vigilance. The six or seven-foot-high wall is like a steel barrier. Looking at the people coming and going, Xu Lin couldn't help thinking that he had been guarding the city gate for ten years. Fortunately, because of his brother-in-law's nepotism, he finally got into the position of a city guard adjutant.
Don't underestimate just an adjutant, this is a fat shortage. When goods come and go, whether in or out of the city, there are always some things that are not seen. Over the past few years, I have also made a lot of money. In those years, my thin body was already a big belly. The guards of the gate looked solemnly at the people who came and went. On the road outside the city, the carriage rumoured, and a large group of people and horses slowly came towards the gate, not to mention more than a dozen. Seeing the first carriage at the gate, a middle-aged man in a maple robe exhaled: "Finally arrived."
Xu Lin stared at this group of carriages from afar, as if there were a lot of things. If it is a merchant, there should be a lot of benefits. When the carriage approached Lao Xu, he frowned. In the past ten years, the gate has not been guarded for nothing, and the knowledge is far from comparable to those little pawns. There is a lot of knowledge about when it can be black and when it can't be black. Otherwise, even if it is related, it will never last so long.
Xu Lin pulled the city guard and whispered in his ear. The city guard didn't even ask, and directly let the carriage pass into the city. Xu Lin bent down and smiled as the convoy passed by. The middle-aged man in the maple robe seemed to be very satisfied. He casually threw some silver and left. He asked quietly, "Brother Xu, which one are these carriages? They are so majestic."
Lao Xu looked around and cursed in a low voice, "You have been guarding the gate for several years, and you can't put bright spots on your claws. Didn't you see the flame mark on the car? Do you know whose house it is? Tangjiabao!" The guard was also shocked. Fortunately, Xu Lin reminded him that he didn't stop him earlier. Otherwise, it will make the other party unhappy and don't know how to die. Now I'm still a little afraid to think about it.
Tangmen, a well-known hidden weapon family in martial arts, is located in the middle of Shu with three sharp weapons, organs and poison. Tangjiabao has been established for hundreds of years. Among them, all members are from the Tang clan. However, unlike ordinary families, families that usually have a reputation and respect in the martial arts have fewer members, usually only three generations; the location is also unstable. Tangmen has always lived in the treasure land of "the kingdom of heaven". For hundreds of years, many families have risen and been lonely. Only Tangmen has been standing withoutstanding ups and down for a long time.
The most frightening thing about Tangmen is the unexpected hidden weapons and the defenseless poison. Even the long-known Jianghu chivalrous man is unwilling to have a bad relationship with Tangmen. Maybe he was inexplicably poisoned that day. Who can guarantee that he will not make any mistakes all the time? For hundreds of years, countless people have died under Tangmen's hidden weapons and poisons, and Tangmen was once isolated. Fortunately, the ancestors of Tangmen founded the "Poison Classic" and passed on to the world, and his posthumous instruction was "commandering all kinds of poisons to solve the people's evil." Tangmen was very strict with his disciples and had never had any major accidents. Even if there were one or two traitors, they would die under the pursuit of the law enforcement hall.
Not long after, several teams of cars and horses passed by, and Lao Xu let them go again. The guard asked, "Brother Xu, which gang is this?"
Xu Lin hit him on the head with a chestnut: "I don't know how to help you. You have eaten salt for nothing for so many years. You are not allowed to eat at noon today. When will you eat when you are fully recognized? Sooner or later, you bastards will be killed.
Xu Lin looked at the continuous carriage, frowned and muttered, "Jinwei Dart Bureau, Qingcheng School, Wanhualou, Cao Gang, Red Flower Club... What the hell is going on today? Go to the market." It is generally impossible for these big gangs to get together. It seems that there is something big deal. There is a little wind and grass in the world, and people with good eyes can find out the reason. Watching a large number of martial arts people enter the city, Xu Lin finally learned the reason by relying on his past friendship: Tang Wentian, the old master of Tangmen, is going to celebrate his seven or six birthdays!
This is great news. Tangmen, the Beggar Gang, Emei, Wudang and Shaolin are listed as the five schools of the Central Plains. Tang Wentian's 60th birthday, how can there be fewer people coming? It seems that you have to be careful during this period of time. These Jianghu people are not easy to provoke. We are going to do business at a loss again this month.
In Yizhou City, there is a bustling scene of high-rise avenues and shops along the street
"Hist, sugar-coated haws..."
"Hot steamed buns, guests, come a few..."
"Crispy pear...Crispy pear..."
Liu Hao was stunned on the road and grew up in Youlan Valley. He has never seen such a scene. I haven't met any big towns along the way. Everything looks so fresh. Xue Ling pulled him and recovered. I walked several streets one after another to get used to it.
"Can you be a little promising?" Xue Ling sighed helplessly, "Don't you want to eat good food? Brother will do what he said, and I'll take you there."
When it came to food, Liu Hao suddenly became interested. There are many restaurants around here, which are dazzling.
"Brother, let's go to any place to eat." Liu Hao pointed to the largest restaurant on the corner. Xue Ling looked at it, turning green to blue tiles, and the decoration was magnificent. This is not going to eat, this is going to eat money. I didn't expect him to be quite good at choosing a place.
Since the words are said, Xue Ling should take care of her face even if she is painful. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go to that luxury."
Seeing a guest welcoming the door, the shopkeeper said, "Children, look at the seat and have tea."
A large number of two people in the store don't look like rich people. There must be no oil and water to get. So it's not that enthusiastic. Generally asked when dealing with errands, "You two want to do something."
Xue Ling couldn't see it and snorted coldly. It's really low-eyed. It seems that it's time to change your makeup, and it's more convenient to walk around the world. Xue Ling took out an ingot of silver from her arms and threw it over the sky. "Pa" fell firmly on the table: "Look at it."
The shopkeeper also knew that he had seen it for a while. When he reached for the silver, he found that the silver had been deeply embedded in the table and could not be taken out. He said in horror, "The villain has no eyes, and invites the two guests to rest their anger. I'm going to get good wine and good dishes."
Out of anger, Xue Ling could not compete with such a villain. She gently patted the silver and flew up and accurately fell into the second-hand store. The latter nodded and bowed away. Xue Ling quietly missed this hand, and at least four or five pairs of eyes watched all this in the field. Whether it is in terms of true qi control or force, it is properly grasped. One point is that the table is broken, and one point is futile.
Considering the lighting, the inn faces east-north, with a door open to the east and north respectively. There are more than ten feet of square tables on the first floor. Near the corner of the wall, there was a white-haired old man, with a fishing rod next to him, drinking wine as if no one else, and several strong men on the left.
"Brother, look." Liu Hao suddenly pulled Xue Ling's clothes. Xue Ling followed his brother's eyes, with a famous young girl on her right wearing a hat. Wearing a water-green dress. With a good figure, you can ask for a faint fragrance from afar. Unfortunately, the neck was covered by a bucket hat, and it was expected to be very beautiful. Isn't this the girl who almost hit her on horseback?
Xue Ling said, "Anyway, it's enough. Don't worry about it."
"Sung, your dishes are all served. Please take your time." The child said cautiously.
A few plates of freshly fried: fried shrimp, sauce-flavored elbows, stewed white fungus, steamed black chicken... The last plate of fresh sauerkraut fish, bottom pickled cabbage, top of which is tender white and rolled with green onion sections. The soup noodles are floating with a layer of red oil, which is steaming hot. Liu Hao couldn't help looking at the table full of delicacies and began to eat a lot. Xue Ling poured a bowl of burning knives, and his throat was hot under the wine. Good wine, strong enough, that's what a man should do. When I drank the second bowl, I saw an old begget dressed in rags at the door. I don't know how many years the beard hasn't been corrected. A pair of broken shoes exposed his big feet outside and begged for wine.
Several tough men scolded, "Dead begator, get out of here. Is this also where you can come? I annoyed Grandpa and twisted your head off as a urine pot. The old screams are not angry, and they go somewhere else to beg for wine. Without exception, there is no one to give alms. You should know that this bowl of wine is not cheap, at least a dozen copper coins. As soon as Xue Ling looked up, the old flower came to him and said with a smile, "Brother, ask for a bowl of wine to relieve your buns, just a bowl."
