Rivers and lakes start from Shushan

Chapter 178

Even in a prosperous place like Nanyang, there are deserted and uninhabited places.

Zhui Feng ran very fast all the way, as if there was a savage beast chasing him, and he ran for twenty or thirty miles in one breath.

The moon gradually disappeared, covered by a layer of cloud, and the slightest drizzle fell.

Zhuifeng looked at the deserted temple in front of him, and he didn't know which wild god it was, but half of it collapsed.

There seemed to be no movement in front of or behind this body, only a few wolf howls sounded occasionally.

He didn't run anymore, and running in the rain was not very comfortable.

Using Qi to block rainwater is too labor-intensive.

After entering the ruined temple, he waved his robe, and the gentle wind swirled gently, blowing away the dust.

Walking, walking, sitting, and lying are all exercises. This practice is to be subtle, and the true energy can be controlled to reach the subtle state. Only when you practice the state of "a feather can't be added, and a fly can't fall", can one be called a master.

Of course, this is only an appearance of the master.

Zhuifeng sat on the ground, thinking about what happened today, Qixia Town, he had completely remembered it.

In the past, since he became a teacher of Guo Juxia, he has never suffered such a big loss.

this time.

It's because of Yang Ke's No. 1 face on the list, forget it.

After thinking for a while, Zhuifeng gave up the idea of ​​saving face, he is, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels useless, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that the waiter in the shop is unfathomable!
Tongfu Inn!

Longmen Escort Bureau, Jinghu Hero, God of Cooking, and the daughter of Guo Juxia. There are so many people from different backgrounds gathered in a small inn. It is not easy to mix with these people.
After thinking about it, Zhuifeng felt that even if he was fully prepared, it would still be difficult to avoid it!

never mind!

Bai Zhantang didn't know that someone had "forgive" him. At this moment, he was making a bed on the table in the inn lobby. He was used to living here, but he didn't feel that living here would be an insult to his status.

He also really felt that the title of "Rooting Saint" was not a pride to him.

After tidying up, Bai Zhantang fell asleep in the lobby of the inn, enjoying himself.

Upstairs and downstairs, there was no big movement that night.

It rained in the middle of the night and stopped for only an hour or two.

In the morning, Youping got up early, just in time to see Gongsunli coming out of Cheng Lingsu's room.

After Yang Ke got up, he got Youping's eyes.

After washing up, I went downstairs and saw a fat man walking back and forth in the lobby.

As if he heard movement on the stairs, the fat man turned around and rushed to the stairs. He was so agile that he didn't look like a fat man at all.

"Prince Xiang, I would like to send my regards to you!"

Seeing him so humble and small, Yang Ke smiled slightly, and also greeted: "Master Qian, long time no see."

After sitting down in the lobby, Bai Zhantang ran over from nowhere. Shopkeeper Qian waved his hand and said, "Lao Bai, please bring up the side dishes I want to prepare."

With that said, he took out some scattered silver and put it into Bai Zhantang's hands.

"My lord, please."

After beckoning Yang Ke to sit down beside him, and Shopkeeper Qian also sat down, he took out three boxes from his sleeve.

Not a paper box, not a wooden box, but three jade boxes.

"Last year, His Royal Highness King Xiang transferred Qian's Chongbao, but at that time, the old Qian had poor eyesight and didn't know that the treasure was priceless, so he exchanged it with common things. Later, His Highness opened the business [-] miles away, and the journey is far away, so it was difficult for Qian to visit.

Yesterday, I heard that His Highness came to the town again and brought back one or two common things from the family. Please accept it with a smile. "

Yang Ke reached out and knocked, and the three jade boxes opened a gap, and then closed.

At this moment, Yang Ke also smelled three scents. The jade box contained natural medicinal materials, which could be called magic medicines.

【Millennium Ginseng】, 【Millennium Snow Ginseng】, 【Purple Jade King Ginseng】.

The three ginseng treasures are considered treasures for Yang Ke's net worth.

It seems that the shopkeeper sold a lot of money for that wine.

Yang Ke probably understood his reason for coming. Although a businessman is after profit, a successful businessman should know that fortune and misfortune depend on each other.

Shopkeeper Qian must have made a lot of money from that wine, even though Yang Ke had promised it at the beginning, no matter how much he sold the wine.

At this time, Bai Zhantang brought a table of side dishes, and that was him. Many people in the rivers and lakes saw that he used his hand strength and arm strength for such a job.

Nodding in greeting, Yang Ke was listening to Shopkeeper Qian talking about some interesting things nearby.

Neither of them moved their chopsticks. Listening to what shopkeeper Qian said, Yang Ke probably understood what he meant and intended to take refuge.

Although he has a family of millions and can be called a wealthy party, but the story of the shopkeeper Qian faintly reveals that he does not have any backing.

In this world, too much money and too much ability to make money is not a good thing.

After looking at the jade box on the table for a while, Yang Ke still accepted it. He also needs a reliable businessman to collect money and purchase goods for him.

"Then I'll accept it. If Shopkeeper Qian is free, you might as well come to Shushan and visit me once."

Yang Ke gave a hint, got up and left.

Shopkeeper Qian stood up, watched Yang Ke leave, sat down again, looked at the food on the table, and clenched his fists.

He has a vague feeling that he seems to have got a very good opportunity, a chance to become rich in the world.

There are very few people coming to eat in the morning. In this era, most ordinary people do not eat breakfast. Bai Zhantang is in the kitchen, helping Li Dazui organize the ingredients.

The ingredients to be used at noon, sorted out, and listening to the movement in the lobby.

Hearing the steps of shopkeeper Qian leaving in a hurry, he got up and turned to the lobby. After a while, he brought back a table of untouched food.

"Big mouth, you've grown a lot!"

The two were in the kitchen, scrambling for food. Li Dazui took a big mouthful of porridge and said, "Old Bai, even if you praise me, you will get me some of the money."

"Why are you still thinking about it?"

"You don't want to separate, if we don't separate, we will break up!"

While eating, Li Dazui patted the chopping board.

"Shh, someone is coming..."

Bai Zhantang winked, trying to stop Li Dazui's indiscretion.

"What's wrong with someone coming? I still get a share of the money..."

"What money? Are you stealing money again?"

At this time, the curtain of the kitchen door was lifted, and Guo Furong stretched her waist and barged in.

Looking at the counter in the kitchen, Li Dazui and Bai Zhantang were constantly chewing and swallowing food, she stepped forward and also started to grab food.

"No, Xiao Guo, these are leftovers!"

Bai Zhantang watched Guo Furong rushing forward, and said something.

Guo Furong grabbed half the plate of cold beef and was about to stuff it into her mouth when she heard Bai Zhantang's dissuading voice.

She hesitated for a while, then asked Li Dazui beside him, "Dazui, is Lao Bai lying to me?"

The half plate of beef she was carrying was snatched from Bai Zhantang, and she felt that Bai Zhantang was lying to her.

However, the beef is real, so Li Dazui and Bai Zhantang certainly don't have the money to eat beef, and Tong Xiangyu pays for as many vegetables as they buy in the kitchen.

Scholars are meticulous, and they will never let Li Dazui take advantage of their loopholes. What's more, even if Li Dazui is greedy for money, he will not be willing to buy beef.

Li Dazui looked at the half plate of beef, nodded abruptly, and said, "It's true, the dish that shopkeeper Qian just came over to order is for the distinguished guest upstairs."

Swallowing, Guo Furong put down the dish in disgust, took a steamed bun, and then moved out of the kitchen.

Before leaving, she turned her head back, but she still left.

After a while, the table was full of food, and was wiped out by Li Dazui and Bai Zhantang. After a full hiccup, Li Dazui thought about money again.

"Old Bai, I heard you. Shopkeeper Qian gave you six or seven taels of silver. You must score against me!"

Picking his teeth, Bai Zhantang leaned against the pillar, shook his head and said, "No way, you know that the money shopkeeper is a lot of picky people, this table is only five taels, and I have to pay the scholar, how do you divide it?"

Li Dazui looked at him suspiciously, turned back to tidy up the chopping board, thought for a while, then turned his head again, and said, "I still don't believe it, I'll call the shopkeeper and ask her to ask how much the old man gave me."

As he spoke, Li Dazui shouted at the top of his lungs: "Shopkeeper... ugh..."

But as soon as he yelled, Bai Zhantang took a steamed bun and went up to gag him.

"What are you yelling about! What are you yelling about! Here you are!"

Carefully looking around, Bai Zhantang took out a piece of silver from his pocket, and patted it in Li Dazui's hand.

Li Dazui weighed it slightly, and it was about five or six yuan, and he ate the steamed buns in his mouth.

"Look, I gave you six taels. If you keep yelling, the money will be gone as soon as the shopkeeper comes!"

Bai Zhantang took out the money bag from his pocket, and took out all the money.

Li Dazui thought about it, and it was also the same reason. Looking at Bai Zhantang's purse, it was less than five and a half, and he was satisfied.

He had forgotten that Bai Zhantang, as the "Holy Thief", was top-notch in his ability to "steal and replace others", but Li Dazui didn't have the eyesight to see the flaw in Bai Zhantang's plan.

Naturally, he didn't know the one tael of silver Bai Zhantang held in his hand.

Yang Ke went upstairs. There were only leftovers from the morning meal, and Youping and the others were not there.

After asking Tong Xiangyu, I found out that they had made an appointment to go out for fun when Yang Ke was talking to shopkeeper Qian just now.

Yang Ke had no choice but to chase them out quickly. The four of them, walking on the street, were the most beautiful scenery.

Yang Ke caught up, Youping rolled her eyes at him, Gongsun Li held his arm, and Cheng Lingsu gave him an apologetic look.

At the gate of the city, Xing Yusen was on duty, standing loosely, greeting people who came and went from time to time, laughing and cursing, but it was lively.

Outside the city gate, there were many vegetable farmers gathered, and many women were returning from buying vegetables outside the city at this time.

Yang Ke nodded to Xing Yusen as a greeting.

Lao Xing looked at Yang Ke majestically.

Just waiting for Yang Ke to walk out the door, he immediately jumped up and hurriedly abandoned the guard.

Arriving at Tongfu Inn, he grabbed Bai Zhantang who was coming down from upstairs after packing up the dishes, grabbed a few slices of cold beef from the half plate, stuffed them into his mouth, and asked together: "Upstairs, where is the upstairs?" Is it the one?"

Bai Zhantang looked at Lao Xing suspiciously, and Lao Xing scratched his head anxiously, and asked again: "Last year, who was last year? King Xiang, you know, King Xiang, number one in the land list, surnamed Yang."

Bai Zhantang nodded, Lao Xing walked around the inn a few times, saw Lu Qinghou grinding ink, he stepped forward, "Scholar, write me two poems."

"Ah!"

Lu Qinghou raised his head, glanced at Lao Xing, and then a few more times, and then he let out an unknown syllable, and then asked: "What poem?"

Lao Xing scratched his hair, and after a while, he patted the counter and said, "Just that song, the one about dancing swords, the one that said dancing swords is very beautiful..."

Pointing upstairs again, he said, "That guest from your house wrote the song a few days ago."

Snapped!
There was only a crisp sound, but it was Lu Qinghou who slapped the brush on the counter and said seriously: "Don't write!"

Lao Xing was slightly taken aback, he had never seen Lu Qinghou like this before, he took two steps back and said, "There's something wrong with you today!"

Shaking his head, Lao Xing didn't say much, turned his head and left. In this town, Lu Qinghou is not the only one who can write.

It's just that it's really not easy to find a well-written one.

After thinking about it, he actually ran to the county government office and found Louzhi County.

"You said, that King Xiang of the Great Sui Kingdom has arrived in our town?"

Listening to Lao Xing's request, Lou Zhixian did not refuse, but when he picked up the pen, he asked the reason, and after hearing the news from Lao Xing, he immediately threw the pen away.

"This! Such a big matter, why didn't you say it earlier!"

Pulling his beard, Lou Zhixian knew it was not a dream, so he walked around the room a few times.

This Seven Heroes Town Realm is a beautiful scene that I have never fully appreciated before.

This is where mountains and rivers gather. There are Han River and Dan River in the south, and the Xiliang River in the town flows into the turbulent water. There are mountains outside the city, although the mountains are not high.

Compared with those perilous mountains and peaks in Funiu Mountain, although this mountain is not high, it is full of smoke, but it has a special flavor.

Standing on the hill outside the city, looking to the south, I can vaguely feel the inexplicable aura in the south.

Yang Ke couldn't hold back his desire to draw a sword.

It's not an illusion. Some people say that once a real swordsman draws his sword, his reputation will shine for thousands of miles.

But at this time, he was probably a hundred miles away from Wudang Mountain.

I don't know which sword was felt on Wudang Mountain.

We played until night, when it was dark, and then we set out on our way home.

Youping followed Yang Ke and traveled all over Western Shu from Tianhu in Tianzhou, seeing the source of thousands of waters and the tops of mountains.

But Hu Xiaoxian, Cheng Lingsu, and Gongsunli were born in the Central Plains, but they haven't seen the beauty of the world yet.

Although Chang'an, Shendu, and the two cities are also magnificent places in the world, they have long been tired of seeing them over the years.

They could not return to this remote hill.

Taking advantage of the darkness, they embarked on their return journey. Naturally, they came back very quickly. Several people laughed and returned to Qixia Town.

Stepping into the gate of the inn, I saw Xing Yusen's eyes, it was waiting for a long time, unwilling to leave, anxious to keep...

"But it's back!"

Seeing Yang Ke, he seemed relieved, and collapsed on the stool all at once.

Yang Ke took a glance and saw an old scribe in a Confucian robe running towards him.

"Late student Lou Dehua pays homage to Senior Shixian."

The old scribe got close and took a deep week.

Lou Dehua?
Yang Ke was a little confused. He almost misheard the name.

In return, Yang Ke no longer regards himself as a literati or prince since he entered the Jianghu, but only considers himself a Jianghu man.

"It's impolite to come here in a hurry, just to ask the poet to leave half a poem..."

Waving his hand, Yang Ke didn't let him talk anymore, looking at the white paper already laid out on the table, and the pen and ink he had prepared.

Stepping forward, swaying:

After the fresh rain in the empty mountain, the weather is late in autumn.

The bright moon is shining, and the clear spring stone is flowing.

The bamboo noise goes to Huannu, and the lotus moves off the fishing boat.

Break free to Chun-fang, Sun-self to stay.
