Wuchang is an important town with two rivers and two mountains. The rivers are the Yangtze River and the Han River, and the mountains are Snake Mountain and Guishan. These two mountains can be said to be the birthplaces of Wuchang and Hanyang. The two mountains face each other across the river. Guishan is on the side of Hanyang, facing the Yangtze River and the Han River. It has been an important place for military strategists since ancient times, and Snake Mountain has gathered the spirit of literati in Wuchang.
However, both mountains are not big, but there are many cultural and historical sites on them.
Needless to say, there is the Yellow Crane Tower on Snake Mountain. There is the Moon Lake under the Turtle Mountain, as well as the Guqin Terrace, where Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi met, and the tomb of Lu Su, the general of the Three Kingdoms. Therefore, the original name of the mountain is Dabie Mountain, also known as Dabie Mountain. Lushan was not known as Lushan until the Ming Dynasty emperor worshiped Xuanwu and made Xuanwu emperor. At that time, the governor of Hubei changed the name to Guishan and asked the court to approve it.
Li Muxian traveled all over the world and wandered around the world. Everywhere he went, he loved to visit the ancient times and explore the secrets. Places like Wuchang and Hanyang had their own places that made him linger and forget to return.
Guishan Mountain has beautiful scenery, with rivers on both sides, a lake at the foot of the mountain, and more than ten cultural and historical sites on the mountain. There are temples and palaces. Generally, the palaces are Taoist temples. In later generations, King Yu’s Palace was a temple, but at this time it was just a Taoist temple, not large in scale. There are only a few Taoist priests.
Li Muxian took a walk here with the Yellow Taoist half a month ago. The two traveled together in a car from Xiaogan. On the way, they talked about the scriptures and admired each other. Li Muxian did not expect that Chang Yu picked up a robber on the side of the road and the wild Taoist had such a study of the Taoist scriptures. Fortunately, he was rescued, otherwise it would be too humiliating for the Taoist sect to be used as a donkey pulling a cart by that eunuch.
Li Muchian was a good talker, and persuaded the host of the Yu Palace to agree to keep Huang Fugui, which finally gave him a place to stay. As for whether he could live here permanently based on his skills in the future, it was not his concern.
There is a market at the foot of the mountain by the river. Li Muxian would go down the mountain every day to stroll in the market, or do some money-making business, telling people's fortunes, fortune telling, fortune telling, fortune telling, and Feng Shui. Soon he became famous and became a As a celebrity in the market, whenever he goes down the mountain, he will always be surrounded by a group of enthusiastic fans. Some people invite him to drink, some invite him to eat out, and even some local wealthy people treat him as a guest at the table.
The so-called "satisfaction and warmth"... that thing, Li Banxian was fed good wine and good food every day, and gradually he started to think about that, but there was just a market at the foot of the mountain, and there were also small villages nearby, and there were no nightclubs. There is no KTV either.
How can this be good?
But with his sharp tongue, it is actually easy to fool a good family.
It's just that, this is Li Muxian's bottom line.
There are some Taoist rules that you can use as decorations, but there are some rules that you cannot touch.
Such as seducing women.
Half-immortal, half-immortal... Li Muxian, who had just come out from a house for lunch, was hiding from the rain in a teahouse. A slightly wretched man grabbed him and said, "Half-immortal Taoist Master, can you tell me about Feng Shui? I want to help you." My father is looking for a good piece of land."
Li Muxian squinted his eyes and dug his teeth: "Poverty-stricken people are very expensive."
The man looked a little embarrassed: "My family is poor..."
"Oh, I'm a very busy Taoist." Li Muxian waved his hand and was about to urge the man to leave. The man grabbed him and said, "Master Taoist, wait a minute. Can I use these two collections to offset the fee?" He looked around and said, Tanshou took out two books from his arms and said in an extremely mysterious manner: "I used to work for Mr. Jiang in Hanyang City, and the ones I stole were said to be revised editions."
Li Muxian was startled, then took it and took a look. Damn it, there was a copy of "Kong Kong Huan" and a copy of "Spring in the Jade House".
Good guy, Li Muchian raised his hand and slapped the man: "Master Taoist reads the Tao Te Ching."
The man was a little confused when he was slapped by Li Muxian, and he quickly apologized: "You're rude, you're rude..." But he saw Li Muxian stuffing the book into his arms and yelling at him: "Get out of here, don't learn from it." If you steal something, believe it or not, report it to the official."
The man was drunk by him and quickly ran away.
Li Muxian glanced around and chuckled to himself. Just as he was about to get up and leave, someone stopped him: "Taoist Master, it's time to go back."
Turning around to see a strange man standing at the entrance of the tea shed, Li Muchian raised his eyebrows: "Who are you?"
"Running errands for the young master's family."
Li Muxian said oh, and the man came closer and whispered several times to him, then disappeared in the rain in a blink of an eye.
There is a family in the north of Hanyang City. They enter the small courtyard. There is a small bridge in front of the door. There is flowing water under the bridge and weeping willows by the water. Under the willow tree, Chen Wangting and Qiao Sanxiu are fishing. They hear the sound of horse hooves and look up to see a carriage parked at the entrance of the courtyard. , so he stood up and greeted him: "The shopkeeper is here."
"Are you catching fish in such heavy rain?" Chang Yu jumped out of the car and asked with a chuckle.
"That's enough for tonight's meal." Qiao Sanxiu shook the water on her raincoat and pushed open the courtyard door. Chang Yu walked in and saw Su Jing, dressed in white, reading a book under the eaves of the corridor. A sudden flash of inspiration occurred. Stepping forward: "The witch in white who killed the Thirteen Thieves couldn't be you."
Su Jing raised her head and glanced at her, and said calmly: "The black and white impermanence can be you, but it doesn't matter if the witch in white is me."
"Hey, I knew it was you." Chang Yu jumped up and said, "There's another ruthless character in Jianghu." He said, smacking his lips: "You were originally a night demon in Jianghu, but now you've got a witch in white. Why?" If you just can't escape the devil, it means you know what, you are cruel and ruthless, girl."
Sujing curled her lips: "You are a ghost, you have the nerve to accuse me. Also, I am not the only woman with ruthless and strong martial arts skills in the world. Besides, is Song Luoyu a good person? One day? If a witch in black comes out of the rivers and lakes, you have to put her on my head!"
Chang Yu choked, waved his hand and said: "You are not allowed to do this again, it is too risky to be alone..." Before he could finish his words, Su Jing interrupted: "You think I am you, I started wandering around when I was ten years old. Jianghu..."
"You are only in your teens now, and you are not even twenty yet. Why are you trying to pretend to be an old man? Jiang Bashi is a real old man. He almost capsized," Chang Yu spat: " Don’t do this kind of thing again!”
Su Jing wanted to talk back, so Qing Yi walked forward and said softly: "Sister Jing, you need to pay more attention to your injury."
"You're the only one who talks too much." Su Jing rolled her eyes at her. Chang Yu was startled. He knew that the thirteen thieves killed by Su Jing were also injured, but he didn't notice it for a moment. Of course, he was too embarrassed to look at the woman's body so carefully.
But he was discovered by Qing Yi.
Hey, Chang Yu wanted to scold Su Jing, but he was afraid of offending her, so he softened his tone and said, "You need to be careful about the wound. It's easy to get infected in the hot weather."
Su Jing thought he was going to take the opportunity to say that he was being brave or something, but unexpectedly it was a word of concern. Her heart suddenly felt warm, but her words were still very tough: "I can't die, and you, why have you been wandering around the world for only a few days?" She speaks in a quaint manner and is not serious, so who do you call her sister?"
Chang Yu looked embarrassed, Chen Wangting and others laughed and pretended not to hear.
He turned around and went to the back yard. Jiang Fa was in the back hall with his eyes closed and concentrating. It wasn't until Chang Yu came to him that he woke up and quickly wanted to get up to greet him, but Chang Yu held him down: "Are you feeling better?"
"Much better, he will recover soon," Jiang Fa said quickly.
"Then get well quickly. The Longmen Inn is still waiting for you to open successfully." Chang Yu smiled, and Jiang Fa also laughed: "Don't worry, boss, this inn will definitely provide you with a prosperous business. This is where you can recuperate." I don’t dare to be idle over there.”
"Oh, really?" Chang Yu sat down next to him. Chen Wangting brought a watermelon over, cut it with a knife and distributed it to everyone. Chang Yu ate while listening to Jiang Fa talk about some of his plans for the Longmen Inn and the ongoing implementation. work.
After a while, the Chen brothers came in from outside, all wet. When Chang Yu came back, they hurriedly greeted him: "It's been a while since I last saw the young master's house, and it's getting darker again."
"Hey, just go to work in the fields if you have nothing to do." Chang Yu stared at the two of them and said, "What are you doing on this rainy day?"
"I wanted to hunt some wild game outside the city, but it rained heavily and I couldn't find any. I bought a few from the villagers, just in time to improve the food for the young master's family today." Chen Ruxin said with a smile, and Chang Yu scolded with a smile: "It's obviously you. You are so greedy that you are relying on me, but it doesn't matter, I am indeed very greedy." Everyone laughed after hearing this.
It was getting dark and it was raining heavily.
Chen Wangting and Qiao Sanxiu cooked a table of delicious dishes and even made a jar of wine. River delicacies and game were Chang Yu's favorite. When they were about to feast, there was a knock on the door from outside.
Good guy, Li Muxian hurriedly hurriedly arrived before the city gate closed, and it was time for dinner.
"Does the shopkeeper know that Pindao has been very boring these days, so he specially prepared this table of dishes to cleanse Pindao?" After receiving the gift, Li Muchian looked at the jar of wine on the table, and almost slipped out of his mouth.
"I heard that you are living a very comfortable life these days. You eat and drink wherever you go. Your life is better than that of a living god." Chang Yu smiled faintly, and Li Muchian waved his hand: "I don't dare. I have been practicing hard recently and don't eat meat or vegetables." If you don't drink alcohol, you'll feel like a bird in your mouth."
"Believe your lies?" Su Jing curled her lips. Li Muchian did not dare to argue with her. He coughed lightly and said, "I heard that a witch in white appeared in Hanyang Mansion recently and killed Thirteen thieves with very cruel methods. Green Forest Road has spoken out. A thousand taels for living, a hundred taels for dead."
"Why, is Taoist Master going to earn this bounty?" Su Jing smiled coldly.
Just as Li Muchian was about to answer, he saw Chang Yu wink at him, and he suddenly sighed in his heart, okay, why bother with this devil. Then he changed the topic and asked Chang Yu: "When did the shopkeeper come to the city?"
"Yesterday evening," Chang Yu responded casually, then rolled his eyes: "You've been hiding it well for the past month. I've searched all over Hanyang Mansion and couldn't find it. Where did you hide it?"
"It's a small fishing village on the riverside twenty miles north of the city." Chang Yu said casually, with a sober voice and a strange expression. Chang Yu caught a glimpse and suddenly smiled: "You don't think I'm hiding in the mountains, so I'm everywhere Breaking into the village?"
Sujing didn't deny it either: "I really thought you were at Orion's house in a mountain temple or something like that."
"Then what are you looking for me for? Didn't I tell you before I left? I'm looking for a quiet place to think about something." Chang Yu smiled half-heartedly and snorted solemnly: "Who's looking for you! All I need is a quiet place to think about something." You find a place to find peace and quiet, and don’t allow others to wander around.”
"You're not just walking around and looking around, you're just going around fighting and killing!" Jiang Fa said with a smile. She was silent and she respected Jiang Fa the most among her attendants.
"Then the shopkeeper has figured out those things during this period of time?" Everyone sat down and moved their chopsticks. Li Muxian brought the topic to the topic. He knew more or less what Chang Yu was worried, worried and doubtful about. After all, he Another identity is Chang Yu's close aide.
"I've figured it all out." Chang Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's just that the more I think about it, the more tired I become."
Li Muxian can understand that there are some things that you can't figure out and don't know how to do, so you won't do it and you won't be so tired. But once you figure it out and know how to do it, you find that it will take a lot of effort to complete it.
"A lot of things have happened in the capital recently, are you aware of it?" Chang Yu asked Li Muchian.
Li Muxian shook his head: "The mountains are high and the roads are far away. I am practicing Dharma in the mountains. I have never heard anything outside the window, but I know a little about the surrounding things. For example, the two old foxes are still in Wuchang, and they are wandering around all the time."
Chang Yu smiled: "There can't be any big waves here in Wuchang, but there are undercurrents in the capital. Oh no, it's already a stormy sea."
"How do you say that?" Li Muchian frowned.
"Someone is acting like a monster in the court again. I'm not happy with it." Chang Yu simply said. Hearing this, Li Muchian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's really shameful!"
Chen Wangting and others also looked indignant after hearing this. Su Jing was the most angry and slapped the table: "I will go to Beijing tomorrow and cut out the tongues of the leaders!"
Chang Yu laughed: "If cutting out their tongues could block their mouths, the people in Dongchang would have done it long ago."
"Such a court, really..." Wang Zhengnan shook his head and sighed, but there were some words he couldn't say directly.
"It doesn't matter. Since we can't stop them, let you talk. Whoever thinks he has the ability can just stand at the front. I would be happy to have more capable ministers and generals in our court! Instead of just a bunch of idiots." Chang Yu's words came from the bottom of his heart.
"Now that the world is just a little peaceful, it is a good time to restore people's livelihood. They are not worried about civil affairs but want to interfere with military power... This is not..." Chen Suole and the two brothers also gritted their teeth.
Seeing the indignation on the faces of his subordinates, Chang Yu still felt warm in his heart. In his position, thousands of people reviled him, but there were still a few warm-hearted people.
"Military power does not belong to Dongchang, and it will be taken away sooner or later." Chang Yu comforted everyone.
"But we have to wait until the world is at peace. Now the situation is a little calm, but war can start at any time. How can people like Rong be so childish? If they really have the ability, it would be fine, but..." Wang Zhengnan was the most indignant. , but could only hesitate to speak.
"The matter depends on the emperor. The art of imperial control requires a balance. Normally, the emperor would divide the military power of the shopkeeper. But right now... Hehe, Pindao thinks that even if the emperor has intentions, he will never let go. After all, the shopkeeper's The emperor's ability and the military power in his hands are the emperor's confidence. He cannot give in at this time, otherwise he will be manipulated later. Besides, in the Ming Dynasty, who else but the shopkeeper can give orders to those murderous talents?" Li Muchian thought for a moment and caressed. Xu Dao said: "It's just that the shopkeeper is not in the capital. The emperor's pretense is weak and he may suffer a loss."
"Do you think the emperor is really weak?" Chang Yu smiled.
Li Muxian was startled and suddenly thought of something: "Li Yan will have arrived in Jinan by now. Well, Tang Tong is in Jizhen. Hey, good guy, they are all quite close."
Tsk tsk tsk, Chang Yu stretched out his thumb: "The name of half-immortal is well deserved."
Li Muxian looked proud, stroking his beard and snickering, and took advantage of the drunkenness to shout: "If you are a poor man, I will summon Zhou Yuji to the capital with a decree. If you think it is not strong enough, Huang Degong will also be summoned to the capital. Li Yan is elegant and elegant." He is an eloquent person who can attack and defend from the front, Tang Tong is exquisite and can attack from the side, Zhou Yuji is stable and can keep the rear army calm, but if Huang Chuangzi is charged into battle, he is not only brave in fighting, but also one of the best in swearing, and he is extremely rude. But it was Li Qi who was dealing with those civil servants. He took off his pants in the court and cursed loudly. Who among the civil and military officials in the court could withstand them?"
Chang Yu slapped the table: "Taoist Master's words are full of secrets. It's all obvious now. I respect you." As he said that, he picked up the water glass. Li Mu Xian was so happy that he raised his head and drank it. However, he heard Chang Yu say again: "It's just that if you are punished by Huang, you will be successful." Some people called him Huang Chuangzi and asked him to take off his pants and curse people in the court. I didn’t know he..."
Li Muxian spit out a sip of wine: "No, shopkeeper, don't do this..."
