It turns out that this cross slope is only thirty miles away from Mengzhou.
Why did Cao Cao hate the government's inaction? That's the reason - if it was a place with poor mountains and rivers, where officials and laws were difficult to reach, I wouldn't say this, but it's clearly not far outside the city, and yet you let him harm people year after year. Isn't this inaction?
Now everyone walked forward in two teams, and after walking for more than ten miles, they came to a place with high-rise and low-rise buildings, most of which were beautifully built. They were either a brothel or a gambling den or a tavern, or even a movie. The big inn is full of people coming and going.
Cao Cao and others saw the cheers and said, "This place is not a city, but it is more prosperous than the city."
Yang Chun reported: "Brother Wu, the market here is called Happy Forest. Because the land tax in the city is high, some people built buildings on this avenue to make a living. You learn from my example, and gradually it becomes a forest. Merchants from Shandong and Hebei all pass here. Everywhere we go, there are hundreds of large inns, thirty-two gambling houses, and exchange shops, making it the most prosperous place in Mengzhou."
Cao Cao nodded and said with a smile: "With the name Happy Forest, if King Chao Tian comes, he will definitely be happy. Forget it, brothers are all very hungry. Let's find a decent hotel to treat everyone to a good meal."
Everyone cheered and looked around, only to see a big hotel at the T-junction, which was the most respectable place.
How to make it look decent? First of all, the wine grapes standing in front of the eaves are higher than those hanging in other houses. Instead of the word "wine" written on it, there are only four big characters written on it, "Heyang Fengyue"! Heyang is from ancient Mengzhou, so the meaning is clear. I am the most popular in the local area, which is called taking the lead.
When I got closer, I saw that the front door was painted green. It must have been a new color in winter. It looked very bright.
On the left and right sides of the gate, there are two pinned gold flags. One side reads "The universe is great in drunkenness" and the other side reads "The sun and moon grow long in the pot". Although it is not an elegant sentence, the beauty is that it is easy to understand. If a wine-loving person reads it, his mouth will immediately be filled with saliva.
Looking inside, there are meat anvils for selling butchers, a wood-burning stove for steaming large steamed buns, and not far away are three large wine vats, half of which are buried in the ground, and half of which are tall enough for a person. The aroma of wine wafted out from inside.
There is a counter next to her, and there is a pretty woman sitting in the counter. She looks to be eighteen or nineteen years old, but her eyebrows are full of charm. The so-called girlish figure and the feelings of a young woman are second to none.
Cao Cao looked at the woman and smiled: "Wow, what a good place!"
Wu Song looked at the wine vats, swallowed his saliva and said, "It's really good!"
Lu Zhishen looked at the strips of meat on the meat eucalyptus and couldn't help but nodded: "It's really good!"
At that moment, Ruan Xiaoqi shouted: "Xiaoer, why don't you come out and lead the horse?"
This shop is big and employs a lot of people. There are five or seven bartenders. After hearing this, they all came out and said hard work while leading the horses: "Guests have come from afar to work hard. Please sit down in the shop. If you want to eat, my family will do it today." The cattle are freshly slaughtered early in the morning, and the flower cakes seem to be very fatty. There are also steaming big steamed buns. If you want to eat them well, our restaurant invites famous chefs from Heyang to steam, stir-fry and stew them, each with its own delicious flavor."
Cao Cao laughed and said, "Don't eat steamed buns and beef! I have more than a hundred brothers here, so you can arrange the table according to ten guan coins."
The bartenders were overjoyed, knowing that a wealthy customer had arrived. Even the woman at the counter stood up and said delicately: "Guests, please go and take a seat on the second floor. If you want to drink, we have high-quality wine, which is not inferior to those in Tokyo." "Mei Shou', 'He Zhi'."
Cao Cao smiled and said, "Young lady, you have a good tongue! I often drink Meishou and Hezhi in Tokyo, but I want to see if you are bragging." He didn't go upstairs while he was talking, so he went to stand in front of the counter to watch.
One hundred soldiers dutifully went upstairs, and most of the other leaders stood, laughing and watching Cao Cao's joke.
The woman made eye contact with Cao Cao, blushed, turned around quickly, scooped out some fine wine, poured it into the wine bowl, held it in both hands, and put it on the cabinet.
Wu Song took the wine with one hand and handed it to Cao Cao. Cao Cao smelled it and drank it all in one gulp. He exhaled the smell of wine and looked at the little woman with a smile: "I'm not talking nonsense. Just talk about this wine. The alcohol is not as good as Meishou, and the fragrance is not as good as Hezhi. If it were in Bianjing, this wine would not be top-notch, but the wonderful thing is that it was poured by the lady's delicate hands. Without adding even five points of flavor, it is still comparable to those fine wines."
Have Liu Tang, Ruan Xiaoqi and others ever seen such a scene? I felt nervous and exciting, hugging each other and laughing - that is to say, Teacher Luan was not here, otherwise I would have to scold them for wasting their natural resources. It's rare for Lao Cao to teach in person, without taking notes, and only knowing how to giggle!
Zong Yun'er's beautiful eyes widened, and she pulled Wu Song in surprise: "Brother, is he teasing a decent woman?"
Cao Cao's ears were pointed and his old face turned red. He coughed quickly and nodded: "Okay, I have tried this wine and it is not bad. My dear, my brothers will drink this wine."
After saying that, he went upstairs without looking back.
Zong Yuner let out a low cry of "Ah", with self-blame on her face: It turns out that the eldest brother was really just choosing wine. But after all, I had some doubts in my heart, so I couldn't help but ask Wu Song: "Whether the wine tastes good or not, does it really matter who poured it?"
Wu Song nodded: "Of course, if you pour the wine, it will taste very good."
Zong Yun'er thought thoughtfully: "It seems so. My ancestors and my father both like to drink the wine I pour."
Everyone went to the second floor and took their seats. All the leaders were by the windows. Rows of windows were opened, drinking and watching the scenery downstairs.
After a while, hot and cold dishes were served one after another, and everyone cheered and munched.
While they were having a lively meal, Ruan Xiaoqi suddenly shouted: "Look downstairs!"
Cao Cao looked over and saw forty or fifty men approaching in a menacing manner at the other end of the long street. The leader was a man who was over six feet tall and in his mid-twenties. He had a fair face and a three-willow moustache. He was dressed in tight clothes and walked As he approached, the man stood still and shouted: "Jiang Menshen, you relied on Zhang Tuanlian's power to take away my Happy Forest. In more than two years, you have made enough money! Now! That guy Zhang Tuanlian was transferred to Huazhou to fight, and your backer is gone, why don't you return me Happy Forest?"
Opposite the hotel where Cao Cao and others were, there was a small open space. Under a few green locust trees, there was a chair. On it, a man wrapped in a sheepskin mattress was taking a nap. When he heard someone yelling and scolding, he woke up immediately and put the sheepskin on it. Lift it, sit up, and jump straight to the road.
Wu Song and Lu Zhishen cheered: "What a big man!"
Cao Cao was also surprised. He didn't notice this man when he was asleep. Now when he stood in front of the road, he turned out to be a big man like a king. He was more than nine feet tall. Among the people Cao Cao saw, only Yu Baosi was better than him. .
This man was dressed in purple flesh and had a yellow beard. He looked ugly. He looked at the pretty face angrily and said in a solemn voice: "Shi En, your 'Golden Eye Biao' brand name scares others, but you must not scare me, Jiang Zhong!" In the past two or three years, I have given you eight or nine severe beatings. Are you really not afraid of death? Or do you think that because your father is a supervisor, Jiang will not dare to beat you to death?"
Na Shi En was not afraid and sneered: "Jiang Menshen, don't be arrogant. In the past, Zhang Tuanlian and his group of regular soldiers helped you fight, but now that he has gone, you only have two fists, and you can beat me in the old city camp." Are there so many men?"
Cao Cao understood what these two people said in a few words: the pretty boy was "Jinyan Biao" Shi En, and his father was the manager of Mengzhou Laocheng Yingying. With the help of a group of prisoners in the fight, he occupied this happy forest and dominated it. , that big man is Jiang Zhong, the "Chiang's Door God". He sounds like an outsider by his accent. He relied on some Zhang Tuanlian's power to rob the happy forest to make money. Shi En tried to take it back several times, but he beat him back. Unexpectedly, Zhang Tuanlian was transferred to Huazhou, so Shi En wanted to take the opportunity to seize Happy Forest again.
Hearing Shi En show off to the crowd, Jiang Menshen laughed loudly, patted his chest and said: "I competed in Mount Tai for three years without any opponent. Who in the world can rival me? Do you think this is a thief? Reliance, I will only make them mud under my feet.”
He was just bragging, but when Jiao Ting upstairs heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened, he stood up and said to Cao Cao: "Brother, I remember who this person is. This person was competing on Mount Tai a few years ago. He has been the leader for three years and is known as the best sumo wrestler in the world! I-I want to have a fight with him."
Cao Cao only knew about his family's sumo wrestling skills. He was usually quiet and taciturn, but deep down he was very proud of his family skills. He smiled and said: "If you want to go, go on your own. If you can't beat your opponent, your second brother Wu is here to discipline you." nothing."
Jiao Ting nodded gratefully, stepped on the window, shouted, jumped down to the street, raised his hand and said, "Are you, are you Chiang Men-god, who has been the leader of the three realms for a long time?"
Jiang Menshen was bragging proudly when suddenly someone jumped down from above. He was so frightened that he took two steps back. When he lowered his head and looked down, he saw that Jiao Ting did not look amazing. He suddenly became angry and said, "What? There are still people who dare to pretend to be me?"
Jiao Ting nodded, his eyes becoming fanatical: "I'm the 'shameless' Jiao Ting, and I'm here today to learn your skills and methods!"
Jiang Menshen thought to himself: How wonderful! I don't know how to spend my time with Shi En. Let's beat him to death. But he is an official, so don't be too cruel. He has so many prisoners, and I can't resist them. What is this Jiao Ting? He has no name or surname, but he is ready. The target was sent to me. I would hit him hard and kill him in two or three strokes to scare him away. Wouldn't it be just right?
After making up his mind, he immediately said with a ferocious smile: "I'll show you my master's methods!"
The huge figure jumped forward and executed the "Twin Peaks Pierce the Ears" move. Cao Cao's expression on the floor changed slightly: This guy is so big, but his movements are agile and fast!
Jiao Ting raised his hands together, grabbed and punched Jiang Zhong on the left and right, then used his strength, bent his whole body upwards, and kicked Jiang Zhong in the chin.
Jiang Zhong was startled and hurriedly threw his arms. Jiao Ting had no roots at his feet and relied on the strength of his opponent's arms to fall. He immediately flew away, somersaulted in the air, and landed lightly on the ground.
His two moves were very gorgeous. When Na Shi En saw it, he clapped his hands and applauded. He stepped forward and said, "Brother, you are very capable. You should try your best to win down this Jiang Menshen. I will share Happy Forest equally with you!"
Jiao Ting rolled his eyes and said, "Who do you think you are, worthy of letting me help you?" After saying that, he punched Shi En twice, causing Shi En to fall down, and he strode towards Jiang Menshen.
When Jiang Menshen saw that he even beat Shi En, he was shocked and said in his heart: That's all, isn't this a martial arts idiot? But seeing Jiao Ting's fists pounding fiercely, he had no choice but to dismantle him. The two of them, one with great strength and the other with finesse, rolled and rolled for more than ten rounds.
There are different teachings: In the happy forest outside Mengzhou City, Jiao Ting wants to find his opponent. After three years of dominance over Ling Taiyue, who knew the retribution would come now.
