Speaking of what happened back then, Yuan Shun sighed, "I don't know people well!" Then he told the whole story in detail.
It turned out that Tang Yongben, like the two of them, was also a "country master", but he only stole gold and silver antiquities and took various weapons. Only because he had offended his enemies in the Guanzhong area and could not find a place to stay, he fled to the land of Wuyue and met the Yuan brothers. The two brothers were suddenly very happy to see their colleagues. In addition, Tang Yong deliberately tried to please them, and the three of them became very close for a while. Later, three people went to the sword pool of the ancient Wu State together and brought out a dagger named "Zang Feng Lu". Tang Yong secretly thought of it at that time and deceived Yuan Yuan that a buyer would pay a large price for the dagger. But he believed it for a moment and handed the dagger to him easily. Unexpectedly, everything happened after that, and neither the person nor the dagger was anywhere to be seen. Only then did the two of them know that they had been tricked by him.
Three or four years passed in a blink of an eye. Unexpectedly, one day Tang Yong suddenly came up to them again and apologized. At first Yuan Shun looked at it coldly and said nothing, but Yuan Ming turned his back on the spot and asked him for the "Zang Feng Lu". At that time, Tang Yong only said that he had lost it and would return it if he found it in the future. After pestering him like this for several days, Tang Yong explained his purpose. He said that he had met a senior in the past few years and he was very fond of magical weapons. He only came to ask for help because he respected him as a person and knew that the Yuan brothers could obtain magical weapons. Take one and dedicate it to this senior.
The two Yuans were deceived by his lies last time, so how could they believe him this time? They ignored him. Tang Yong knew that his martial arts skills were no match for the two Yuans' combined efforts, so he had no choice but to leave in frustration. This time Er Yuan got a precious sword "Daxia Dragon Bird" by chance in Jiangning. When they saw Tang Yong, they also murmured in their hearts. After he left, they immediately got up and took the sword with them to go to Shu for temporary refuge. They didn't want to Before they arrived at Badi, Tang Yong led his men to chase him. After a battle, he found out that the person who came was the second disciple of the Shenyin Sect. If Xiao Ning hadn't secretly rescued him at that time, not only would the sword have been lost, but the lives of the two would have been lost. Got in.
At this point, Yuan Shun shook his head and sighed, and Yuan Ming became even more angry and said: "Huh! If that Yabo Han hadn't arrived quickly that day and borrowed Xiao Shaoxia's arrow, I would have cut that beast into pieces. !”
Yuan Shun glared at his brother, "Second brother, you can't do this. Death is like a lamp going out. Since his life is gone, why bother to remember the grudges from the previous life."
"Huh." Yuan Ming snorted and turned away, very dissatisfied with his elder brother's statement. Yuan Shun looked at his brother and shook his head helplessly.
The four of them talked all the way out of the town. At this moment, Yuan Ming was tired of vomiting. He turned around and glanced at the purple gold dragon head on Xiao Ning's horse, and asked curiously: "Young Master Xiao, this is what attracted that Yabo The coveted purple gold dragon head?"
Xiao Ning smiled, "Exactly."
Yuan Ming looked at it carefully and couldn't help but feel hot in his eyes. He stretched out his hand to Xiao Ning with saliva on his face and asked, "Young hero, can you lend me a favor?"
Yuan Shun glared again after hearing this, "Second brother, don't you know that you are teaching people to take advantage of the taboos of the world?"
Xiao Ning, who was standing next to him, chuckled and said, "Senior Yuan, it's okay." After saying that, he raised his leg and picked off the dragon's head stem from the bird's wing ring and handed it over.
Yuan Ming smiled awkwardly, but still took the dragon head and looked at it carefully.
Over there, Yuan Shun smiled helplessly and said to Xiao Ning: "Don't be surprised, Young Master Xiao. My second brother has been crazy about weapons all his life. The two of us became this 'country master' because of his hobby. He wanted to see Wu in those days. What does Chu Sharp Blade look like?"
Xiao Ning smiled, and while they were talking, they suddenly heard Yuan Ming's "drive" sound beside them, urging him to sit down on his horse. The horse suddenly rushed out, and he saw him smashing a small tree with a thick arm beside the road with his big spear. , the tree just "clicked" and broke into two pieces. At this time, Yuan Ming couldn't hold it back, and his body was tilted sideways by the big tree, and he almost fell off the horse.
Turning the horse's head, Yuan Ming walked back with the big spear in hand, handed it to him and grinned, "Enjoyed, Young Master Xiao, what a great weapon, but it's a pity that it's too heavy, so most people can't use it."
Xiao Ning smiled, stretched out his hand to take the hanging, put it back on the horse and said, "Senior, I don't know that this tree was made with the efforts of three generations of my uncle Yu. How can it be ordinary?" The three of them laughed for a while, and Chu Yue also smiled blankly at the side.
Talking and laughing along the way didn't feel lonely. When the sun was about to fall the next day, a large manor was already in sight in the distance. The most conspicuous thing was a colorful building standing tall in the middle of the manor. At this moment, Xiao Ning hesitated and said: "Seniors, is it a little late to visit at this time?"
Yuan Ming laughed loudly after hearing this, and Yuan Shun also smiled and said: "Young Master Xiao, I don't know, but it's just the right time to come here."
Xiao Ning was confused for a moment, and Chu Yue turned to look at them strangely. Yuan Ming stopped laughing at this moment and said: "You two, please let me and I sit for a while, and we will decide for ourselves when the time comes." Now the two of them had no choice but to look at each other and follow Yuan forward.
From the outside, this village may be about a hundred acres in size. It is only three or four miles away from the nearest town. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has beautiful scenery. Come closer, the vermilion door is half-opened. There is a plaque hanging high on the door. There are four big golden characters on it, "Wanjin Villa". In front of the door, eight big men in Tsing Yi stand with their hands crossed. They are all mighty and majestic. From the crack in the door, you can see the pavilions in the courtyard. .
When he got to the door and got off his mount, someone took the reins and led him to the side. Yuan Ming stretched out his hand and threw out a silver coin, "There will be good news soon. Take us to the second entrance."
"Good luck, Mr. Yuan." The big man at the door reached out to take the money and said with a smile. He mentioned his name in one sentence. The Yuan brothers are obviously regular visitors here.
Upon entering, there is a large courtyard, with houses on three sides and flowers and plants everywhere. Looking at the houses with brackets and cornices, carved beams and painted buildings, it gives a scene of wealth and wealth. Walking along the path paved with bluestones to the right, there is a moon gate that leads directly to the inner courtyard. There are also two people at the door. They are dressed in powerful clothes and each has a weapon. When they see five people, they come over and just look at the big man in front of them. Poker face.
The big man didn't say anything. He led the way and the group walked to the second courtyard. The front yard looks quite elegant, and the second entrance is also unusually spacious. It is also a house with three sides, but unlike the front yard, the house is rough and covers a large area. The three houses take up most of the more than ten acres of yard, leaving only an acres of patio in the middle, all paved with bluestone. , there are several stone tables and benches, and now there are a few people sitting in the courtyard, and there are occasional conversations.
When they arrived in the courtyard, the big man smiled at the two Yuans and said, "Master Yuan, the younger one has been sent here, please do as you please." The two Yuans were also familiar with each other, so they just waved his hand to let him back out.
Looking at the surrounding buildings, Xiao Ning looked at a loss. As soon as he called out "Senior", Yuan Ming smiled enigmatically: "Young Master Xiao, don't ask any more questions. Just come in and take a look." After that, he took the lead. Walking towards the middle room, Xiao Ning glanced at Chu Yue and shook his head with a smile, took her hand and followed her.
A lot of people talking could be heard outside the house, but as soon as they entered the room through the curtain, there was an instant bustle of people, and Xiao Ning almost fell to the ground. Standing at the door and looking around, I saw dozens of butter candles as thick as an arm burning in the huge room. The light was as bright as day. There were dozens of tables in the room, and each table was surrounded by people. It was full of people, and now people were yelling at each other, laughing and cursing one after another.
Xiao Ning had been reading books about sages for more than ten years. He had never been to a place like this when he was so old. He was dumbfounded for a moment. Yuan Ming laughed when he saw Lang and strode forward.
Yuan Shun looked at his brother from behind, shook his head helplessly, and said to Xiao Ning: "This Wanjin Villa is a gold sales cave, with a casino and a brothel, and it also serves as a news business. Don't worry about him in front of him, we just need to go Just find out the information." After saying that, he led Xiao Ning and two people inside.
The crowd inside was very noisy with people shouting and drinking, and many people were waiting around for women with heavy makeup. The sound of teasing was endless, so that Xiao Ning did not dare to look at him sideways. Yuan Shun led them to a gambling table and saw that Yuan Ming was standing behind the crowd, standing on tiptoes and craning his neck to look in. Yuan Shun went over and gave him a hand, "Let's do this with Young Master Xiao first. Business is important, you will bet on it later."
Yuan Ming looked at his elder brother and Xiao Ning, then at the gambling table, gritted his teeth and said as if he had made a lot of determination: "Okay, let's talk about it later!" Then he reluctantly left the place and walked inside together. .
Passing through the gambling tables, there is a long table at the back. There is a person sitting in the shadow behind the table drinking tea. From time to time, he looks up and glances into the casino. There are also a few stools on the opposite side. At this moment, the Yuan brothers came closer with the two of them. Yuan Shun winked at the brothers, but he took half a step back and followed them sideways. When Yuan Ming saw the bared teeth, he smiled, shook his head and walked closer and shouted: "Old Wang, we are here to do business. Where is your Marquis?"
The man in the shadow raised his head when he heard the sound. He was more than fifty years old, with a sallow face and small eyes. He was not very energetic. He was also wrapped in a leather jacket in the stuffy room. At this moment, he said helplessly: "Yuan Laoer, I and I How many times have you said, my surname is Yu, not Wang."
Yuan Ming still had the same nonchalant expression, "I think it's better for you to be named Wang. It just so happens that you are the eighth oldest child, so your surname is easy to pronounce."
"You!" Mr. Yuba behind the table couldn't help but get angry when he heard this. Looking at Yuan Ming's shameless expression, he could only let out a sigh of relief, "If you have something to say, you have to fart. If nothing happens, get out of here and stay here." Bother me."
"Hehe," Yuan Ming smiled, "Nothing else, I just want to ask your Lord Marquis for some news."
"Go to the backyard." Before he finished speaking, he threw a token from behind the table, stretched out his hand to wave, and a man came from the corner and stood with his hands down.
"Take them to the 'Thousand Eyes Hall'." Master Yuba ordered.
"Yes." The man held his fists expressionlessly, picked up the token and turned around to lead the way.
When she came, she entered the house through the front door. Now she walked through the back door and walked to the third courtyard. There was a small alley in the middle. Chu Yue held Xiao Ning's hand and whispered, "Brother Ning, everything seems to be weird here." .”
Xiao Ning shook his head gently, looked at the man and the Yuan brothers who were leading the way, and whispered: "Be careful at all times, and strike first if something goes wrong."
While the two were talking, they turned around and walked out of a moon gate to the third courtyard. The scene in front of them suddenly changed again. They saw a bright light. The colorful building seen outside the village is here. In the courtyard, upstairs and downstairs, I could see the warm fragrance of orioles, swallows, and soft jade. It was such a gentle place where one could feel ecstasy. When they got here, not only was Miss Chu Yue too embarrassed to raise her head, but Xiao Ning was also blushing and did not dare to look sideways. He just followed the three people in front of him and walked, not more than ten feet away, when Xiao Ning suddenly saw a figure approaching from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but let go He stopped for a moment.
