The woman in red stepped out of Huchao Pavilion. The civet cat, which was still playing beside the boy's lap, accidentally caught a glimpse of a yellow rope climbing up behind the boy's back. It was now wrapped around his shoulders and had not left for a long time. His hair stood up and he ran about ten steps away. His eyes immediately shrank into a ball, and he glared at the yellow rope, not daring to move rashly for a while.
"You are so lucky, little friend. This yellow dragon likes you as a young man. Why don't you just take over the big job, so as to save me the trouble of talking and getting tired." A middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist walked out of the inner courtyard of Huchao Pavilion. The man, with a pockmarked face and sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, walked up to the young man, raised his hand, pulled off the yellow rope and put it on his shoulder. It was strange to say that the yellow rope had just come into the hands of the Taoist, and it turned into a zodiac flag, hanging loosely on the Taoist's shoulders. He grinned at the young man who still didn't move, pointed two fingers at the back of his neck and shoulders, and then chose an open space. Sit down and think about it silently.
From the moment the woman came to the door, Yunzhong realized that he could not speak or move. Even if he exerted all his strength, even the internal fist skills he had learned from Ling Tengqi these days were unreserved. , all of them were handed out, but in the end it was still difficult to shake the yellow rope. All the actions just now were done by someone who took advantage of Yun Zhong's body. At this moment, the Taoist clicked two fingers and he could move freely. He turned back to measure the time. , I found that the Taoist was looking around at the jars of fine wine, and even used the back of his hand to wipe away his saliva in an indecent manner, which was quite awkward.
"Since Mr. Yan wants to talk to that woman, he can just come on his own. How can I stop this junior? Such actions are really too much." Yun Zhong frowned and turned his shoulders two or three times, only to realize that just now he was like a giant stone. The feeling of the mountains pressing down on my shoulders had indeed disappeared without a trace, so I complained quite a bit. After all, this situation where I couldn't help my mind and body was really not comfortable.
"No, no, I am a guest after all. I dared to show off as a senior in Nangong Mountain. Now that I have reached the boundary of the capital, you, the leader of the Boyu Gang, occupy such a good land to your name, and you are just showing off in it. If you put the sword away, you can exchange it for thousands of taels of silver, and Xiaodao will also call you "Senior."
Yan Jiaqing has always been lazy, and it is rare for him to quarrel with others. Except for the old woodcutter at the top of the mountain, he doesn't have much to say. Today, it was rare for him to ridicule Yun Zhong. Even if the young man was stunned, Immediately he shook his head and smiled bitterly, went to light the tea stove by himself, let the drunkard gentleman who was definitely disguised as a Taoist take the seat, comforted the civet cat for a while, let him go out, sat on the table, and looked at the Taoist with eager eyes. With those jars of good wine, I just didn't mention this.
"What I said just now made me confused. Although I had a slight taste of it, I still didn't understand its meaning." It was the young man who spoke first, probably because he was afraid that drunkards like Yan Jiaqing would take a look at the jars of wine. , was busy asking questions.
The Taoist muttered something bad, threw down the tattered pockets on his waist, and looked at Yunzhong sideways, "Young lady who just came here, I sent you a letter before, telling you not to provoke me, but I want to test you first. In your opinion, what is the skill of the girl in red?"
The young man shook his head, "My steps are unsteady, and the calluses on my hands are not thick. Just looking at my skills, I don't seem to be an expert."
Yan Jiaqing smiled and reluctantly took his eyes away from the wine jar, cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Seeing a woman dressed in red, in this capital, the first thing people often think of is not that a woman is getting married, but that she has always been like this over the years. Although the ferocious warrior with the sword hanging on top is not wearing ordinary ferocious clothing, he is indeed in the ranks of ferocious warriors. Everyone knows that the ferocious warrior's skills should be difficult for him to encounter, but this girl's skills are absolutely unbelievable. It’s only right to be among the ferocious warriors.”
"Except for Emperor Quan, there is only one place in the whole area where Yi Zhang has the right to appoint and remove the ferocious envoys. It is Qice Mansion, which has been famous all over the world many years ago. But even the officials of Qice Mansion can hardly do this. The power of Pan Po Tian, but if there is an official in the court in this girl's family, and she happens to be in Qice Mansion, it won't be too difficult to think about it." Yan Jiaqing said eloquently, holding up a finger and shaking it at Yun Zhong Huang said, "Today's Prime Minister Yi Zhang is the only one in the current dynasty who has one person less than ten thousand people, and is able to command the Qi Ce Mansion. If you think about it this way, doesn't it make it much easier?"
Yun Zhong has been in the capital for a long time. Regardless of Yan Jiaqing's words, he knows the crux of it. Thinking about the collapse of the Pang family, there seems to be Qi Cefu's means behind it. After smoothing his thoughts, he understands most of it.
I'm afraid that in the past few days when Yan Jiaqing has not shown up, this teacher who only knows how to drink has investigated these matters clearly and clearly understood the woman's thoughts, which is why he said these words today. Just hit the key point, abandon the horse and pawn is more valuable, the horse is not a horse, the pawn is not a pawn, but they are not much different.
Thinking of something for no reason, Yan Jiaqing glared slightly, "If I hadn't used Huang Long to say these words today, with your stubbornness, I wouldn't have been able to stabilize that girl and try to sell those two knives." , it’s even more hopeless, after all, this is your first business in Huchao Pavilion, and you have to share half of the credit with me."
Yun Zhong was stunned, and then he waved his hands repeatedly, saying that the sword in Huchao Pavilion was regarded as a favored item. If he gave it away to others at will, it would be difficult to maintain accounts in the future, so he refused again and again.
"I don't need worldly money, but for those few jars of wine, why don't you give me two jars of wine? The rights are worth the money, and it's not a big deal. Anyway, in the past month, I've been running around asking for sick leave for several days, delaying school. A lot of schoolwork is worth taking some hard-earned money for, right?" Yan Jiaqing disguised himself as a Taoist, but he also learned the mantra of the Taoist who swindled and deceived in the market. He shook his head and shook his head, which made Yun Zhong's teeth itch, but then he changed his mind. Looking at the yellow flag on the Taoist's shoulder, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and move two or three wine jars to Yan Jiaqing.
The latter was so happy that he hurriedly picked up the tattered bag on the ground, put away the three wine jars, and said with a grin, "The shopkeeper has a good intention, and the business will be prosperous in the future. I would like to thank you in advance. We have a high mountain and a long river." , see you someday." After saying that, he actually picked up the bag that had become an ordinary size again, raised his legs and walked out without leaving a single word.
The young man did not force him to stay, but when the man came to the door, he asked calmly.
"Junior, there are still two things I don't know about. I would like to trouble Mr. Yan to stay."
"You're welcome, just ask." The Taoist didn't look back.
"How to help Pang Qingfeng? Although the woman is probably thinking of leaving the capital, if there is another ferocious envoy coming to the door in the future, she can hide in the first year but is difficult to defeat in the fifteenth year. Mr. Yan is extremely smart and will definitely not give up on this bottle of wine. I’ll make a trip and please let me know the future layout.”
Outside the long street, the sky is still unclear. Maybe it will be rainy today. Swallows are flying low and birds are crossing the street.
The Taoist took out a bamboo hat from the cloth bag behind his back, put it on his head, and shrugged nonchalantly, "Young people, don't think about getting involved in everything. In the future, you will have to use your brain to make your own way in the world. What do you think about this matter? It is no longer a minority to suffer losses. You must know that it is not shameful to seek benefits and avoid disasters. It is really shameful to lose one's life due to stupidity and bravery for no reason. "
"According to what you saw, sir, you ignored him and allowed him to live and die?"
"It's you who said this, but I didn't say it." Yan Jiaqing plucked his ears and became very impatient. "If you can overthrow the Qice Mansion and convince or subdue all the ferocious emissaries, the entire capital will be defeated." Sitting firmly in the position of second child, not to mention Pang Qingfeng, he is admonishing the emperor, saying that this year is unlucky, and it is suitable for the world to be amnesty. The poor man will not even say a word "no", and you can do whatever you want, but if you don't have that kind of ability, Just look at all the things in the world with peace of mind. You can take care of Pang Qingfeng out of pity in your heart, but there are more than one Yan Jiaqing in the world, and you can take care of them one by one. Even if you are born with eight heads, it is not enough."
The young man was silent for a long time without answering, "Second question, since you have such magical powers, why do you want to hide in Tibet and avoid the immortals in the world?"
"If you can't fight, you have to run away." The Taoist simply put down a few words and pretended to leave, but he stood still and thought for a while, and then added a few words, "Most of the merchants doing business in the capital want to exclude outside merchants, knowing full well that they must Who would be willing to give away money generously if they take advantage of themselves?"
The figure of the Taoist flashed and disappeared in an instant, leaving only the still deserted streets and the young man whose fists were coated with a thick layer of medicinal powder, silent for a long time.
The tavern also opened early today. According to the words of the shopkeeper, it doesn't matter whether there are dates or not. Just hit three shots first. If you have dates, you will make a profit. If you don't have dates, you will not lose. Don't worry about whether there are any guests coming. Just open the tavern. This was often mentioned by the man who was missing half of his front teeth, and he would mercilessly say a few words about it, saying that the entire capital might not be able to single out such an idiot. If he came to have a drink in the dark of the night, it would be nothing if the Lingzi Tower fell down. , if you eat two bowls of Huihun wine mixed with water in this run-down tavern, you might fall to your death on the Naihe Bridge when you go out.
Pang Qingfeng was actually quite envious of this man with rough words and reckless behavior. At least the man often had witty remarks. Although he felt a little inappropriate about making arrangements for the shopkeeper in private, Pang Qingfeng often felt that although the man often said He scolded himself a few times, and he was pretty good to his colleague, but he envied the man's skill in speaking. If he could learn a little bit of it, Miss Du yesterday might be able to laugh a few more times.
But the man didn't know Pang Qingfeng's miscellaneous thoughts. He took back the rag that had been dried yesterday, turned around and saw the latter looking at his back with amusement. He immediately felt a chill all over his body and kicked the young man on the back. He staggered, cursed and wiped the desk by himself.
There was an old man walking outside the door. He stared at the man's figure for a long time, frowned slightly, and stepped into the tavern. He had no idea that he had become what others said was an idiot.
