The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 156 Dare to ask a strong man, Gao's surname?
Cricket, also known as Zhizhi, is a kind of creature loved by the public since the long history of China, from the imperial palace to the common people.To be more precise, it is the activity of cricket fighting.

In the Book of Songs, there is a poem that says, "In July I am outdoors, in August I am in the house, in September I am at home, and in October crickets come under my bed." It can be seen that from that time on, this kind of creature has already existed.

The four seasons in the game are compressed into one month. In short, the third game month currently includes July, August and September, which is equivalent to late summer and autumn, while crickets appear in March, April and late summer. At this time, everyone will catch crickets and have a cricket fight.

Many people have also written poems about promoting weaving, such as Su Dongpo and Yang Wanli. The most famous one is Huang Tingjian, who concluded that crickets have "five virtues".

He said about this insect: "It cries at the right time, which means that it is faithful, which means that when the crickets start to crow, it must be autumn; when encountering an enemy, they must fight, which means that they are brave, which means that when two male crickets meet together, they will definitely fight; It is a sign of loyalty that the injured crickets are not reduced, which means that crickets are aggressive. As long as they are not separated, they will fight to the end. If they are defeated, they will not scream, which is a sense of shame. After a duel, the cricket that screams must be victorious, and the cricket that does not scream must be victorious. It’s a loser; when it’s cold, you return to peace and know the current affairs.”

There are many categories of zhizhi, and many poems are written to describe zhizhi. Kinds of weaving, and "the blue head is like a bodhi seed, and the hair on the top is dyed with indigo. The tooth bell is even more sesame white, and you can be full of joy when you fight."

There are so many different things.

Pu Songling also wrote a novel with the theme of promoting weaving. The theme is quite a bit like "the king of Chu is so thin". In history, some princes and nobles did send people to catch crickets for the purpose of fighting crickets. He searched everywhere in order to find a powerful cricket.

Ren Tian looked around at the excited gamblers in the casino and shook his head slightly. He didn't think cricket fighting was interesting at all, but when it flourished, it could increase the country's development and culture points.

He casually strolled around the casino, but unexpectedly, he saw the middle-aged man from before.

At this moment, the middle-aged man was huddled in front of a gambling table, staring at the small basin in front of him, where there were two crickets fighting happily.

Ren Tian walked over, and the little eunuch next to him automatically squeezed a way out for him, and he was very considerate to the players in this regard.

Ren Tian came behind the middle-aged man, but he didn't notice himself, but stared at the basin.

Inside, a black-spotted cricket and a plum-winged cricket were neighing and fighting.

The middle-aged man didn't scream like other gamblers, but his eyes stared expectantly at the small pot. His plum-winged cricket seemed to have the upper hand.

Ren Tian looked at the inside of the small basin with great interest, two crickets were biting each other, the next moment, Mei Huachi knocked the black spot to the ground and rode directly on it.

"it is good!"

Gamblers cheered around.

"Sure enough, he is a majestic general. This cricket is too powerful."

"Haha, I finally made the right bet this time."

"The general will win!"

Plum Blossom Wing bit the black-spotted foreleg, biting tightly, and neighing, but the next moment, the black-spotted cricket that was pressed to the ground suddenly turned over, flipped Plum Blossom Wing over, and swallowed in one bite. Bitten on the head of plum blossom wing.

Plum Blossom Wings screamed and struggled wildly, but the black spots refused to let go.

The excited gamblers around suddenly felt extremely happy and sad, and shouted anxiously: "General, hurry up and work hard."

"Don't lose to the other party, I pressed you for 100 yuan!"

"come on! Come on!"

The middle-aged man's complexion also changed, he was very focused, as if he wanted to use his eyes to help his Jizhi win this victory.

But in the end, the plum-winged cricket called the Great General struggled a bit, remained motionless, and was directly killed. The black spot began to neigh triumphantly.

"Hey, I lost again."

The middle-aged man shook his head with a rather depressed expression on his face.

Some gamblers nearby also sighed and walked away helplessly. Only the gambler who bet on the black-spotted cricket was very happy.

Ren Tian laughed and said, "It seems that Mister is out of luck."

The middle-aged man turned his head, saw Ren Tian, ​​and smiled slightly: "Master Huang, are you in the mood to go out and play?"

"Sitting in the palace all day is naturally very boring. I didn't expect that there are so many interesting things in the folk. It seems that sir likes to make weaving?"

"Occasionally play, I just send leisure time."

The middle-aged man smiled: "Young Master Huang, do you want to play too?"

Ren Tian shook his head: "I'm not very interested in this, I don't think it's interesting."

"Then Mr. Huang, why don't you lend me some money. I haven't had enough fun yet, and I want to play again."

Ren Tian: "..."

He looked at the little eunuch beside him: "Give some money to sir."

The little eunuch took out ten taels of silver, which was enough to satisfy his needs.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Won't Mr. Huang come with me? It's no fun to watch it. Only by participating in it can you experience the fun."

As he spoke, he walked towards the middle of the hall, where there was the booth of the gambling house, and there were all kinds of boxes, which contained a single weaving, and various insects rang out from it.

"The Xiu Zhi I caught is already dead. I can only buy another one. Mr. Huang should buy one too, just for fun."

Ren Tian hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhuzhi who was calling out in the Zhexi box in front of him, and nodded: "Okay, then I will participate."

He chose a chizhi, and saw the chizhi in the box, "the neck is as red as fire, hanging red silk, wearing five colors of vermilion stars. The beard and tail are golden like a spear, and the three altars are invincible ghosts and gods", very similar to the third prince.

There are various types of fabrics displayed here, and the prices naturally range from low to high. The one chosen by Ren Tian is considered to be a medium one.

The braids chosen by the middle-aged man also look very extraordinary. "The two beards are pure and pure, the head is green and the neck is green all over the body. The beard is brown and the tail is long, and the jade pillars and teeth are as white as silver."

After a while, the two began to fight and weave together.

After a while, Ren Tian was also staring at the small box, murmuring: "Bite it! Bite it!"

Everything, true fragrance law.

The two crickets fought inextricably in the small box, but in the end it was Ren Tian's third prince who was the better one, rushed up suddenly, bit each other tightly, and directly killed the opponent's cricket.

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Congratulations, Mr. Huang, your eyesight in choosing weaving is unmatched by mine."

"Just luck."

Ren Tian waved his hand, but unexpectedly, this time, Ren Tian won a full ten taels of silver.

After the fight, Ren Tian walked out of the gambling house, with the middle-aged man and servant beside him.

"Young Master Huang, congratulations. I really watched Xinguo grow up step by step. Although Xinguo is still a small country, the people live in stability and don't need to be displaced. The army is sharp and developing rapidly."

Ren Tian smiled and said: "With your kindness, I still remember the original agreement with you."

The middle-aged man smiled: "I remember, Mr. Huang, keep working hard."

Seeing the middle-aged man walking towards the other side of the street, Ren Tian also smiled slightly, looked up at the expanded tavern on the opposite side, and walked across the blue stone bridge again.

The tavern is full of people, and the business is very good. As a special product of Xinguo, Jimo old wine is also very attractive to the local people of Xinguo. In ancient times, there were few people who did not like to drink.

Another one is that there is a bumper harvest of grain in autumn, and when there is more grain, there will be more wine brewing. Some private wineries have begun to increase their efforts to produce Jimo old wine.

Some buildings produced by the country are in the city, such as taverns, brothels, schools, etc., but some buildings are not in the city, but scattered around the city, such as breweries, livestock farms, ceramic kilns, etc. , will not choose to be in the city.

Mostly in nearby towns.

After the expansion of this tavern, another floor was added. There was an endless stream of people coming here to buy or drink wine. In addition to the people, Ren Tian glanced over and saw some scholars dressed as scholars, and some people looking at the tavern. He looks quite tough in the world.

Just as he was about to walk in, someone in the crowd in front suddenly shoved and shoved.

"You don't have eyes?"

The little eunuch beside him, as well as Meng Ben who followed Ren Tian, ​​immediately guarded Ren Tian to prevent accidents from happening.

"Look first."

Ren Tian looked over and saw a figure like a knight-errant standing at the entrance of the tavern, with three gangsters in front of him, surrounding him.

"Step aside."

The knight was wearing a bamboo hat, but he held a book in his left hand and a sword on his back.

"If you don't apologize today, don't even think about going in."

A Poppy sneered.

"That's right, you'd better be wiser, otherwise we will beat you to the ground and kneel down to beg for mercy."

Some people around were also looking at this place, and a waiter in the tavern came over with a smiling face: "Masters, forget it, they are all out to drink, why are you so uncomfortable?"

"Go away, what are you doing? You dare to interfere when we are doing something?"

A few rogues glanced at Xiao Er with sideways eyes. Xiao Er had no choice but to step aside. The rogues looked at the knight again and sneered: "Is it useful to carry a sword? The laws of the new country do not allow it." Killing people at will, isn't your sword just a display?"

The knight gave him a cold look: "Blow your hair and break your hair, do you want to try?"

"Think, come, come, come and chop at me. If you have the ability, you can chop me. I want to see if this sword of yours is just for display."

A poppy stretched out his head, patted his neck with his palm, and motioned for the other party to chop his neck.

The two rogues beside him also laughed loudly: "It's just a broken sword, and you think you are great with a sword on your back? Let me tell you, in this Nan County, how many people haven't seen it?"

The knight was unmoved.

Ren Tian was still watching. This scene reminded him of Yang Zhi selling knives in "Water Margin". He was also targeted by a rascal Niu Er, who wanted to seize Yang Zhi's precious sword, so he made things difficult for him. Yang Zhi couldn't bear it. Then he killed Niu Er with one knife.

Will this knight-errant kill them?
Ren Tian was more than happy to watch the excitement, anyway, Nan County is his territory, if he is a talent, even if he kills these rogues, Ren Tian will use him again.

Seeing that the knight made no move, the leader of the gangster laughed again: "If you are scared, why not call me grandpa and I will let you go."

Ren Tian shook his head, why didn't he say let the other party drill his crotch?

The next moment, the knight raised his head, and under the bamboo hat, there was a pair of extremely calm eyes.

Clang!
A cold light flickered behind him, the long sword was unsheathed, and the swordsman swept across with his right hand, and those rogues couldn't help closing their eyes.

puff puff!

The clothes in front of them were all cut open, but they didn't die, and before they could react, the knight kicked out with his right foot again, and the rogue in front was kicked out.

The remaining two rogues were startled, and the knight had already stepped up, knocking them down to the ground, the long sword in his hand was shining coldly.

"roll!"

The knight's words were cold.

The three scoundrels were so frightened that they were pissed off. The leader of the scoundrels crawled and crawled behind the knight. When he saw that the knight was still facing away from him and maintaining his previous posture, he suddenly became more evil and took out a gun from his body. Prick the dagger into the opponent's back!

"careful!"

Ren Tian couldn't help shouting, at the critical moment, the knight turned around and stabbed the sword directly into the opponent's chest.

Then, he kicked the opponent onto the street.

The people watching around were all frightened, and then they exclaimed: "Killing! Killing!"

"Run!"

The onlookers dispersed like birds and beasts, and even some people in the tavern were frightened and ran out of the tavern one after another.

The knight's face remained unchanged, he put away his long sword, and walked in without looking at the rogue outside.

"Shopkeeper, come to your best wine."

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Okay."

Ren Tian suddenly became interested, and at this moment, he heard the system prompt in his ear.

"Ding, the lucky opportunity has come, the person in front of you is your lucky fate this time, players can get close to this historical figure and conquer them."

Ok?
Ren Tian was shocked and quickly opened the attribute panel to take a look. Sure enough, there was a blessing effect when Yu Banxian prayed for himself before, but now the blessing effect has disappeared.

Is this the person in front of you?
Ren Tian didn't expect to come so quickly, so he didn't hesitate, and just followed that knight into the room.

The knight sat on the table inside and took off his bamboo hat. Ren Tian had already arrived in front of him: "Can I sit here?"

The knight took a look at Ren Tian and nodded: "Of course, you reminded me just now, I also want to thank you, let's sit down and have a drink together."

"Thank you."

Ren Tian also sat across from him and looked at him, only to realize that he was quite ordinary in appearance, but he had a straightforward temperament.

"I want to ask, are you not afraid of the government? If you kill someone in the street, the government will send someone to arrest you immediately."

The chivalrous man shook his head: "The government should also make a distinction. If they don't, I will be put in prison. Naturally, friends will organize a prison robbery."

jailbreak...

Ren Tian was silent for a while, and asked directly: "Dare to ask the strong man, Gao's name?"
