Struggle in the martial arts world

10. Lichun Courtyard. Wei Xiaobao

"The weeping willows are constantly picking up the remnants, and the wild goose-toothed red bridge is like a picture; it is also a pot of gold, so it should be called Slender West Lake."

There are six out of thirty West Lakes in the world, but the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou is unique among other lakes with its delicate and graceful style.It attracted many literati and elegant guests to linger, and some even cited "wrapping a hundred thousand guan and riding a crane down to Yangzhou" as a lifelong pleasure.

<The courtyard is the busiest, a few banquet tables are set up in the hall, and the big salt merchant invites his colleagues to have a drink here. <There is also a banquet in the upper courtyard, but there are not many dishes on the table, only four cool and four hot, plus a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus.Sitting at the table was a young man who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a smile on his delicate face, he looked very kind and handsome, wearing a royal blue robe, a melon cap, and a rich man. dress up.

This young man from a rich family spoke with a capital accent and did not bring any entourage. For five days in a row, he would come every time it was getting dark. Ruanyu Wenxiang's romantic affairs are just politely asking her to talk about the piano and sing. When she is interested, she will fiddle with the strings a few times and play a song. She is a person who knows the rhythm very well.

Fortunately, this young gentleman was generous, and he only stayed for two or three hours each time, but left enough rewards when he left, which made the other girls envious of Lan Xiang's encounter with an elegant young man, and even urged them to seize the opportunity. Follow the example of Dong Xiaowan's daring to open up frontiers.

This young man from a rich family is Liu Meng, and he said that since they arrived in Yangzhou, the elder brother bought a batch of joss sticks and paper money, and paid homage to the ancestor and other elders at the south gate of Yangzhou city at night, and then searched everywhere for the place where the corpse was buried. place.

Mingyufang is a well-known gold selling cave, and it can't afford to spend 20 taels a day.In desperation, Liu Meng became a hero who robbed the rich and helped the poor again, and got two or three hundred taels of silver. Only then did he insist on his age, while holding a pot in his bare hands to refill wine for this gentle young man, his face Blushing, she peeped shyly at the other party's handsome face.

Just at this time, there was a lot of noise in Mingyufang, and there were loud voices shouting everywhere, as if they were looking for an enemy, so that everyone should not panic.Shouting and shouting, someone came and knocked on the gate of Lichun Courtyard, causing chaos upstairs and downstairs.

Hearing all this noise and chaos, the bored young man suddenly got excited, stretched out his hand to pat the table, and said joyfully, "After waiting for several days, my good friend is finally here!"

Pushing open the door a little, I saw a group of big men with white cloth heads, blue belts around their waists, dressed as salt owls, holding bright steel knives in their hands, rushing in fiercely, clamoring for Jia Laoliu from the Tiandihui.

It turned out that Jia Laoliu drank too much in the tavern, and satirized that the salt smuggler in Yangzhou was useless. He didn't dare to kill officials and rebel.But it was overheard, so this group of Yanxiao from the Green Gang refused to accept it, and came to ask Jia Laoliu for an explanation.

The old man at the head yelled a few times, and seeing no one came out to answer, his subordinates scolded themselves, "A good guy from the Tiandihui, how did you become a turtle?" Shrink your head?"

Liu Meng quietly watched this scene from the crack of the door, knowing that according to the plot in the book, Mao Shiba would jump out to fight against the injustice because the other party insulted the Tiandihui, and this would lead to Wei Xiaobao's ghostly appearance.

As words made fun of Yan Xiao came from a room in the East Wing, several big men thought Jia Laoliu was inside, and rushed in with knives, but were thrown out one by one, screaming in pain for a while. People are daring to rush in.

A prostitute in her thirties was laughing and laughing, and was knocked to the ground by Yan Xiao's mouths, with snot and tears pouring out.A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy who seemed to be his son rushed out, yelling and cursing loudly, speaking viciously, making the salt owl so angry that he chased and fought the boy, making the scene extremely chaotic.

This young man is Lord Wei Xiaobao.At this moment, he was thin and small, with a weird face, he was pressed tightly by the salt owl, and he lowered his head and got into the room where the fierce battle was taking place.

Next, it's time to make your debut.

Liu Meng turned back to the table, poured the remaining half pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine into his mouth, then picked up the long sword wrapped in black cloth beside the table, smiled at the panicked Lan Xiang, and said: Thank you for being accompanied by the girl, I had a very happy time, please accept some silver, we will meet later."

He took out a 100 tael bank note, put it on the table, and picked up half a roast chicken.Liu Meng went downstairs, walked through the chaotic crowd, first went out to the yard, looked around the terrain, found a stone at the exit of Mingyufang and sat down, put the long sword in his arms, and held the burner in one hand. Chicken, tore off a chicken leg, and slowly gnawed on it. <There is movement in the streets of the courtyard.

First, a group of big salt lords carried steel knives upside down, and hurried away with a few wounded.Soon a donkey cart would come, but it was going west in the middle of the night, which seemed extremely strange.And behind the donkey cart, there were two more salt lords sneaking behind with steel knives, not knowing what their intentions were.

Liu Meng, who was sitting on the side of the road, didn't raise his head, just continued to eat the roast chicken. The man in the donkey cart and the Yan Xiao who followed just looked at it and ignored it, thinking that he was a drunk sitting there.

When the donkey cart ahead was far away and out of sight, Liu Meng got up, threw away the chicken rack that had been gnawed very clean, picked up the cloth bag wrapped in the long sword, spread his legs and chased after him, gathering internal strength under his feet, From time to time, he invoked the eight-step movement technique of chasing cicadas, and leaped forward quickly.

Sitting in the donkey cart was of course Mao Shiba and Wei Xiaobao who were seriously injured, and Yan Xiao who was following behind thought that he wanted to follow these two people, and after dawn he would call in better hands to surround and kill them.And he wanted to come out at this time, kill the two follower Yan Xiao, and sell favors to Mao Shiba.

This way of making friends is the best way Liu Meng came up with after careful consideration.Both Mao Shiba and Wei Xiaobao are savages in the market, they most admire blood and loyalty, and they are bold and heroic, so it is not difficult to do what they like with a little attention.

You must know that from the moment he entered the world of "The Deer and Ding Tale", Liu Meng spent his free time thinking about how to complete the task and how to get close to Wei Xiaobao to gain his trust. Some plots in the book have been pondered several times, and finally he chose to appear at this time , and strive to get acquainted with them before they arrive in the capital.
