The Green Shirts in the Martial Arts Rivers and Lakes

Chapter 141 Sweet Water Lane, Bitter Water Shop

Rivers and lakes, temples.

People are always used to say that these two places are separated, but in fact they are connected together, or temples are also rivers and lakes.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

But in today's arena, there are two major forces that have to be said.

The golden wind blows and drizzles, and the rivers and lakes are divided into six and a half.

The former is talking about the largest gang that dominates the capital, mastering the martial arts, laughing at the rivers and lakes, and is also the leader of the world's white forces, the Golden Wind and Light Rain Tower; the latter is the overlord of the underworld, with green forests, officials, and merchants all manned , all have eyes and ears, and the influence can be said to spread all over the world, and the three religions and nine streams are all in it. This is the mighty six-and-a-half church.

The former's surname is "Su", "Red Sleeve Sword" Su Mengzhen; the latter's surname is "Lei", which means Lei Sui.

In fact, earlier on, there was originally a powerful force occupying the capital, which was the "Mitian League"; Today, it has disappeared and disappeared.

Today's capital, only these two.

Most of the masters of the rivers and lakes who come to Beijing are also recruited by these two families. Most of the sects and forces in the world are also attached to these two families. The village has already been full of murderous intentions and bloody storms.

In addition to these two, there are several important forces in Beijing, and this involves the dispute between the temples.

One is the "Shenhou Mansion" founded by Zhuge Zhengwo, the Taifu of the dynasty; precisely because of the existence of such a person, no matter how powerful the Su and Lei families become, they must always be afraid of three points and dare not be too presumptuous.

The other is Cai Jing, the "Prime Minister of Power" who is under one person and above ten thousand people.

This person, the masters of the Ministry of Criminal Justice want to curry favor with him, and the six sects also want to curry favor with him, and the most feared master of martial arts today is also the guest minister of his house, and all the officials of the capital, big and small, have to look at this man's winks and act, it is terrible.

The two families of Su and Lei are fighting openly and secretly, and Zhuge Zhengwo and Cai Xiang are also at odds with each other, each of them wants to bring down the other and make the other forever doomed.

And the remaining ones with names and surnames, who are more peaceful, include the "Youqiao Group" headed by "Shentonghou" Fang Yingkan, and the "Dream Second Party" formed by the rangers and heroes in Beijing...

All these forces, large and small, are entrenched in the capital, circling at the feet of the emperor to survive, plotting step by step, and fighting inextricably.

In this way, the most terrifying Longtan Tiger's Den in the world is created, and it is also the most thrilling and tragic world.

……

Sweetwater Lane.

On this day, there was a light rain in the capital.

Chen Zhuo was wrapped in a pale and worn green robe, with only a length of gray rope tied behind his long hair. His face was pale, and he was carrying a sash on his back, playing tricks of changing his face, hoping to earn some money for wine and meals.

Everyone knows that this is the famous Yanliu Lane, Goulan tile shop, brothels and casinos everywhere, all places for entertainment, and it is probably easier to earn some money.

The green windows on both sides were half-closed, and the mist and rain were hazy. Quite a few delicate-looking girls peeped their heads from time to time, very curious; happy to see them, they casually dropped a few scattered rewards from upstairs and dropped them into his backpack. , make a series of crisp sounds, or make teasing words.

He already knew what kind of rivers and lakes he had come to, but he was not in a hurry to become famous or become famous.

As far as he is concerned, the normal state of life is mostly ordinary, and most people should live a leisurely life; besides, the capital is hidden by dragons and crouching tigers, he must be careful, otherwise he may be targeted by people who are confused.

Another reason is that he always feels that the people in this place are rejecting him...or, he is rejecting these people...he has to find a way to blend in, to blend into this era, to adapt and resonate, and he has to slow down first.

The straw sandals strode on the bluestone slab full of wet marks. The smooth stone surface was covered with a layer of misty water, reflecting a corner of the light blue clothes, flying like clouds.

As they were walking, suddenly there were two big men in strong clothes standing in front of them and raised their hands to block the way, "My master, please go upstairs and tell me, I hope you will show me your face!"

After all, it didn't matter whether Chen Zhuo wanted it or not, he made a gesture of invitation.

It was raining in the spring, and he looked in the direction indicated by the two, and saw not far away on the second floor of a restaurant, near the window, an old man with a white face was raising a glass to him with a smile.

It was Tong Guan.

This person begged Fangla in the south and moved to Taishi.

As one of the "six thieves" who followed the lead of "Cai Jing" and had the military power in his hands, this kind of power was rare in this world, and he would invite such a small person to drink.

"Little brother, do you still know the old man?"

Calculating the time, it was two or three months ago that the two first met in the old temple, and they didn't want to see each other again in Beijing.

Although this man is an eunuch, his voice is fine, his speech and behavior are also heroic, drinking alcohol and eating meat show the demeanor of a soldier in the army.

"I recognize it."

Calculating the time, the Jin army has broken through Zhongjing, Emperor Tianzuo fled westward, and above the court, the Northern Expedition to destroy Liao should also come...

Tong Guan drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, dressed in a simple black robe, his face became paler against the backdrop.

He carefully looked at Chen Zhuo in front of him, obviously he was only in his twenties, he was extremely young, but his eyes seemed to be full of sophistication.

"If I hadn't passed by Tianshui Lane, I thought the little brother looked familiar, and I was afraid I would have missed it."

Seeing that Chen Zhuo was covered in rain, and his clothes were a bit shabby, Tong Guan pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "You want to be famous?"

Chen Zhuo shook his head, "I don't want to, at least not right now."

These words have some meaning, just like if he wants to be famous, he will definitely be famous all over the world.

Tong Guan smiled and said, "Interesting, it seems that you are very confident in yourself."

He glanced out of the window again, and sighed: "However, this capital city is not easy to stand out. Dragons and tigers occupy each other, each is their master, and they check and balance each other. One mistake will lead to a doomed end. It is really like walking on thin ice... But the capital city It's different outside."

Tong Guan's conversation suddenly changed, he was holding a glass of wine slowly, while fiddling with the wine cup, he said with a sly smile: "With your archery skills alone, if you are on the battlefield, it is not difficult to make meritorious deeds."

Chen Zhuo already understood this man's intentions, he wanted to attract him.

"I want to read!"

Tong Guan was taken aback when he heard this, but he seemed to be right. It is difficult for a warrior to succeed, especially in this day and age. It is also true that he wants to study.

The swelling on his face has long since disappeared a lot, his long beard is clean, and the corners of his long and narrow eyes look like upturned willow leaves with many fine lines. The habit developed, shrugging shoulders and shrinking the head, like a squatting black-feathered vulture, with a sickness between the brows and a sinister aura hidden.

Chen Zhuo thought about it very seriously, and then said: "I want to read a lot of books, such as Buddhist scriptures, Spring and Autumn Days, ancient poems and books, medicine and poison theory, I want to read them all."

Tong Guan's eyes widened, and then he narrowed his eyes suddenly, "Do you want to penetrate hundreds of schools? What a great ambition."

But he suddenly laughed again, raised his index finger and circled it in mid-air, and said with a playful smile: "However, I think you may not be able to relax anymore, just sit with me and drink this glass of wine In half an hour, all the big and small forces in the capital will probably look for you and keep an eye on you."

Chen Zhuo looked as usual, took the wine, smiled slightly and said: "If I find you, then I will have to be famous in the capital."

Tong Guan was amazed, and looked Chen Zhuo up and down again, "Okay, speaking of it, little brother, you already know my name and surname, but I don't know your name yet?"

Chen Zhuo said: "Chen Zhuo!"

Tong Guan nodded, clapped his hands and smiled, "In this case, I will give you a whole room of books, how about it?"

Chen Zhuo's eyes lit up, "Thank you!"

It was raining harder outside the building.

Looking at Tong Guan who was leaving in the sedan chair, Chen Zhuo took out a rain hat from his back and followed him downstairs, stepping into the rain.

Because besides juggling, he has to go to Huichun Hall to be a doctor, set bones and needles for others, and earn some money, which is really too poor.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the pedestrians on the street were scrambling around. Chen Zhuo walked among them, hurrying all the way, but when he reached the "Bitter Water Shop", he suddenly heard someone calling him happily.

"Brother Chen!"

Chen Zhuo turned his neck and looked. In a messy and dilapidated ruined building, there were two people standing under the eaves to avoid the rain. It fell on the straw shed, splashing small holes in the muddy ground.

Weeds are overgrown all around, and it is full of rotten wood and bricks.

Chen Zhuo stepped on a few bluestone slabs embedded in the mud, and walked towards the two of them.

The two of them were holding calligraphy and paintings in their arms, their bodies were covered with water stains, and their wry smiles concealed desolation and loss.

The man who called him was a young man, young and handsome, with starry eyes, his eyes were extremely clear, like a child who hadn't grown up, showing two rows of white teeth, wiping the drops of water from his hair, smiling very happily .

This person is also the pharmacist of "Rejuvenation Hall" to treat diseases, his surname is Wang, Wang Xiaoshi.

This person entered Beijing earlier than him, and was also poorer than him. Perhaps he had a feeling of sympathy for each other, so he became acquainted naturally.

And the other one was handsome, tall and straight, standing facing the wind, wearing a brocade white robe, but there was a sharp coldness between his brows, serious and serious, but Chen Zhuo also knew him, and had seen both sides.

This person's name is Bai Choufei.

One of the two is helping people get medicine at the pharmacy, the other is selling calligraphy and painting, and the other is poorer than the other.

As soon as Chen Zhuofu came in, four people came out from the gray rain, hurrying along, two came in to shelter from the rain, and two stayed outside.

One of them was coughing so badly, he choked and coughed, his shoulders trembled violently, he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed until he was heartbroken and his heart was piercing.

On the handkerchief this man took off was a shocking mass of blood.

Chen Zhuo sighed suddenly, as if he had noticed something unconsciously, he grabbed the corner of his clothes and wiped the water stains, it seemed that he didn't need to wait for others to find him.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, the murderous intent has arrived! ! !
