Rivers and lakes start from Shushan

Chapter 7 Attack of the Poison Saint
"Xiucai, who do you think lives upstairs?"

Late at night, the inn was closed, and the entire Qixia Town ushered in silence. The flickering lights were extinguished one by one, and the watchman's reminder to "be careful of the candle" sounded in the town.

In the backyard of the Tongfu Inn, apart from a firewood room, there are two rooms that can be used for people. The cook Li Xiulian and the accountant Lu Qinghou live in one of them.

Lu Qinghou had just put down the scroll in his hand, blew out the lights, and was about to go to bed when he suddenly heard Li Xiulian's question.

In fact, he doesn't think much of the other people in the inn. Compared with others, he still has a future.

This starts with the establishment of the country by Yang Sui. The Sui country was located in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Although it was rich, it was also the land of the Four Wars. Later, the Sui country used imperial examinations to select officials. Hereditary, talents from all over the world joined in, and because of this, the Sui Kingdom was able to resist the attack of powerful men and achieve this millennium foundation.

After that, other countries followed suit one after another, but each had their own changes. The Han Dynasty had its own national conditions, with only slight changes. The imperial examination and the imperial examination were used together. Even the imperial examination was the right path. The imperial examination only selected minor officials with less than [-] shi. You can participate in the selection of officials only after you win the election, and the Langguan who is in charge of the inspection starts with two hundred stones.

Lu Qinghou is extremely knowledgeable, he memorizes the Four Books and the Five Classics upside down, but the great Han pays equal attention to Confucianism and Law, Lu Qinghou only studies Confucianism and not Law, but it is difficult to pass the examination, and the examination system requires strong recommenders, and there are no elders in his family. To adopt the imperial examination system, one had to observe filial piety for ten years. Now he could only spend time in the inn, studying and working as a bookkeeper.

Recently, he has been troubled by love, and his daily life is a little muddleheaded. When he heard the big mouth question, he asked in surprise: "What is the guest upstairs?"

"Two people came to live in the store upstairs. Today I ordered a lot of good wine and food. At least I spent two taels of silver. According to the shopkeeper, all three meals tomorrow will be good, even better than today's. Isn't that necessary?" Five taels a day!"

The business of Tongfu Inn is not very good, because it is still far away from the official road, and it is rare to see such wealthy guests.

"He deposited 20 taels on the cabinet!"

Lu Qinghou seemed to have remembered something, and said casually at this moment.

"It's only 20 taels, not much! I thought I was rich..."

Although she didn't have that much money in her pocket, it didn't stop Li Xiulian from thinking that 20 taels of silver wasn't much.

"Tsk! That's gold..."

Li Xiulian suddenly lost her voice. After a few breaths, the sound of his snoring could be heard in the room.

The next day, Yang Ke was looking for a chance to untie the bond between Wushuang and Lao Bai, but there was no chance. Zhu Wushuang seemed to be planning to work in the inn, but Tong Xiangyu didn't plan to take her in, which made her a little distressed.

Yang Ke could only wait for the opportunity. After meditating and practicing Qi, he went out to try to see if he could meet any chance. For example, the legendary wicked Taoist came back in the afternoon, but found nothing.

"Young man, let me remind you that there are not only flower pickers in the world, but also many female devils..."

In the town in the afternoon, Yang Ke only met the policeman. After the policeman stopped him, he said a few words and gave him a reminder.

This surprised Yang Ke suddenly. He had indeed forgotten this. This is not the era in his memory. In this era, the strong are respected. With his appearance, when he has no strength, he must be careful of the witch.

"Thanks to the head catcher for reminding me, I understand!"

Yang Ke thanked the reminder and did not dare to go shopping anymore, so he returned to the inn.

Bai Zhantang has been busy during the day, he, a saint of robbers, enjoys being a waiter.

Wushuang has always wanted to talk to Bai Zhantang, but has never found a chance.

The inn was busy until the sun went down. It was just finished. Yang Ke used the food delivered to his room. Yang Ke invited Bai Zhantang to come with him, but was rejected. A little later, he watched them eating dinner together in a lively manner downstairs. , but I understand a little bit.

It's like a family working together, supporting each other, but in this cold world, there is a rare warmth that is naturally hard to let go of.

……

"Shuang, why aren't you sleeping?"

On the roof of the inn, Bai Zhantang suddenly appeared, looking at the sullen Zhu Wushuang, he greeted him.

"Brother Bai, why are you here?"

Bai Zhantang really has something hidden in his heart. The Sunflower Pie has always been a shadow in his heart. For these years, he has been wandering in the rivers and lakes. Someone comes and takes him back.

Yesterday was also a busy day, and I forgot when I was busy, and I only remembered it at night when I was sleeping.

I originally planned to ask today, but the business of the inn is very busy today, and I didn't spare time at all. Until now, I have only spared some free time.

At this moment, he considered it for a while, the shadow in his heart has not subsided, but after taking a few deep breaths, he resolutely opened his mouth and asked:

"Shuang, why did you come out from the Sunflower School?"

Stretching out one's head is also a knife, and shrinking one's head is also a knife. If it came for him, then he would have no choice but to run away as soon as possible.

"Brother, the sunflower pie is gone!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Wushuang actually revealed a piece of news that greatly surprised him. Hearing this unbelievable news, he suppressed his excitement and asked in a trembling voice:

"No... why not?"

"The four elders were playing cards, and then Elder Bei lost in a hurry, so he said that Elder Dong was cheating, that he memorized the cards...

Elder Dong also said that Elder Nan stole the cards and found out the truth... Elder Nan also said that Elder Xi wiped out the cards, which meant that he had wiped out the red cards and turned them into white cards. Elder Xi refused to admit it and counted them on the spot. There were more than 30 white cards... Elder West I was in a hurry, talking about Elder Bei, relying on the old to sell the old, not paying back the money...

They fought each other...then they died together, and everyone dispersed. I had nowhere to go. After thinking about it for a long time, I thought of Senior Brother Bai. After looking for Senior Brother for a long time, if it wasn't for Yang Ke, I couldn't find Senior Brother Bai either. "

Hearing something ominous and Zhu Wushuang's inexplicable tone, Bai Zhantang's heart trembled.

Looking at Zhu Wushuang's hand, he was stiff and didn't know what to do. At this moment, a graceful figure suddenly appeared on the roof, blocking Wushuang's hand, and sat between her and Bai Zhantang. He asked with a smile:

"Old Bai, what are you talking about?"

Although he was asking with a smile, Bai Zhantang could hear a hint of coldness in his tone.

"No~ I didn't say anything~"

"You haven't slept yet..."

Just when Bai Zhantang felt the slightest danger, another person climbed up the ladder, and it was Yang Ke who sensed a good opportunity.

"Such a bright moon is indeed worth watching!"

After Yang Ke came up, he slightly raised his head and looked at the sky. This world is so vast and has traces of legends from the previous world. So is there Chang'e in this moon palace?

With almost the same appearance, when did he time travel?
What is the reason why I came to this world?
Although he was a member of a certain orphanage in his previous life, Yang Ke also had some concerns in that world. Now, these concerns can only be buried deeply in his heart. Seeing this bright moon aroused his thoughts.

What secrets are hidden in the game "Nine Realms"?
It was only after arriving in this world that I realized how abrupt the appearance of "Nine Realms" was!

Materials have not yet broken through the limit of nanometers, humans have only landed on the moon, and are far from conquering, yet all the virtual reality game devices have been developed.

And this kind of black technology has not yet become a hit!
How suspicious this is!
There were ripples in his heart, but Yang Ke's face didn't show much, people are swordsmen, I am fish; no matter what the power behind this is, Yang Ke's current stature can only bear it.

"Wushuang, last time you didn't tell me why you have such a good relationship with Lao Bai in the Sunflower Pie?"

After walking to Zhu Wushuang and sitting down, Yang Ke suddenly asked.

This is also a question that Bai Zhantang doesn't quite understand. I don't know when, this little junior sister has a particularly good relationship with him.

At this time, Zhu Wushuang was naive, and unsuspectingly told about the sugar man incident when he was a child: when he was seven or eight years old, once, Wushuang finally saved some money to buy a sugar man, but was caught Several boys bullied her and wanted to take away her sugar figurine, but Bai Zhantang appeared in time to save her, and Wushuang also gave the sugar figurine to Bai Zhantang...

Lao Bai suddenly realized it, and later solved the misunderstanding and said that he helped Wu Shuang to drive away the children who bullied her in order to deceive her sugar man.

Moreover, it was Bai Zhantang who came up with this idea and was responsible for its implementation.

Bai Zhantang laughed and told the story, but he didn't know how badly the ignorant girl's heart was hurt by the story he told in just a few words!

"What did you say?"

"Four thousand 350 a day!"

Zhu Wushuang was muttering to himself at this time, with tears in his eyes, but they did not drop.

"brute!"

These are the words Tong Xiangyu blurted out. As a woman, she naturally knows how heartbreaking and heartbreaking this is.

"Why do you scold my senior brother!"

This was Zhu Wushuang's subconscious reaction, but then she got up immediately in panic, then turned around and said:

"I'm tired, let's go to rest first!"

Looking at her back, the three people on the roof looked at each other, and then Yang Ke said:

"You talk, I'll go and see Miss Zhu!"

Bai Zhantang and Tong Xiangyu looked at each other when they heard the words, and they probably saw Yang Ke's thoughts, but they didn't stop them.

Waiting for Yang Ke to go downstairs, Tong Xiangyu suddenly asked: "Aren't you worried about your junior sister?"

"Worry! Doesn't this have a little prince?"

Bai Zhantang smiled indifferently, and then spoke.

"The identity of this young prince is not false, and he was indeed being hunted down by his uncle, the prince of the Sui Dynasty. Yang Su, who presided over this matter, Lao Bai, if your junior sister is with him , but be careful."

Tong Xiangyu had found out Yang Ke's information in just one day. When Bai Zhantang heard this, he said nonchalantly:
"Of course the identity of the prince is not false, he also carries some hole cards with him, it is not easy for Yang Su to kill him.

The wine he took out yesterday was sold to Lao Qian, a bottle of gold worth more than 100 taels. Yes, let me take it away indifferently, and the remaining half of the bottle, the old money is worth 50 taels of gold..."

As Lao Bai was talking, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Why did he say all this? He turned his head and saw Tong Xiangyu, who had been extremely calm just now, his eyes seemed to be shining, and he was looking at him quietly.

really
"Where's the wine! Where's the wine! Shop rules! Shop rules!"

I saw Tong Xiangyu tugging at him, shaking him hard!

"Drink it! I'm afraid I can't help but sell it to Lao Qian, so I drank it all!"

Lao Bai was speaking righteously at this time, Tong Xiangyu grabbed his collar and looked at him suspiciously, but he believed it a little bit. Because they all were exchanged for wine.

Little did she know, how could Lao Bai be willing to drink such a precious wine in one go, not to mention that the purchase price given by Lao Qian for the bottle alone was quite high.

However, Lao Bai knows that money is the courage of a hero, and he has already made up his mind to break away from the vortex of the rivers and lakes. He will not become a gentleman because of money, so he was pinched to death by Tong Xiangyu. The windfall is not ill-gotten wealth, how could it be revealed.

Tong Xiangyu didn't know Lao Bai's chicken thief, she didn't know that the wine bottle was also very valuable, so she beat Lao Bai a few times reluctantly, thinking of the hundred taels of gold, she felt heartache.

"The little prince is so generous, he spends a lot of money at will, if Wushuang follows him, it will be a good home!"

Bai Zhantang decided on a home for his junior sister without hesitation. He was a handsome person, even Tong Xiangyu, who shared weal and woe, he could give up, let alone a junior sister whom he hadn't seen for many years.

He is afraid of trouble, but he also has a chivalrous heart, and he has also developed the ability to catch thieves. It's just that his life in the underworld has gradually cooled his heart. If he wants to warm up, it will take a long, long time to warm up. Tong Xiangyu at that time was still a little short of heat.

Tong Xiangyu actually knew that Lao Bai must have something to hide, but although she was greedy for money, she also knew how to behave, so she didn't force Lao Bai.

"Then you are still a prince, aren't you afraid that Wu Shuang won't be worthy?"

"My Wushuang Junior Sister, now I am also talented and beautiful, and I can do everything. A prince who is in trouble is still worthy."

Tong Xiangyu didn't argue with him, and changed the subject, "Old Bai, can you see that, this little prince, I think the internal energy is extremely superb, and he must cultivate the upper-level internal energy, maybe it is some kind of magical skill!"

Bai Zhantang replied indifferently, "He is the prince of the Sui Kingdom, the grandson of the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and heir to the royal family. It is not surprising that he has practiced a supernatural skill. You don't know how light he is..."

The two were talking, when suddenly there was a "clang" sound from downstairs. The two listened intently, but were suddenly startled. Bai Zhantang immediately yelled, "No! Something happened!"

The two immediately jumped downstairs!
……

Wushuang went downstairs with a heartbroken heart, but when she returned to her room, she casually gathered her belongings, grabbed her bag, turned around and went to the lobby, unloaded the door panel, but was about to leave!
Yang Ke just caught up at this time, and hurriedly stopped Wushuang, asking: "Wushuang, what should I do now that you leave?"

Wushuang twisted her body at this moment, sobbing and said:
"Don't worry about me, don't stop me, you have my brother now, and you have invited people from the Longmen Bodyguard Bureau to stay here for a few more days, there are so many people here, there is that Thief Saint, and there is also a Guanzhong hero, no I need a little girl... get out of the way!"

"They are them, you are you, Wushuang, if it weren't for you, I might have died in Mount Funiu by now... Whoops!"

It was Wushuang who was careless, and the two of them pulled with a little more force, and Yang Ke seemed to be pushed to the ground by her, as if he had knocked something, and there was no movement after falling to the ground.

Seeing this, Wu Shuang was flustered immediately. She still thought that Yang Ke didn't know martial arts, so she hurried forward to check. She was kind-hearted, so she was so easy to be tricked.

Turning over Yang Ke's soft and trampling body without making a sound, she panicked for a while. At this moment, she felt that there was one more person she was thinking about unknowingly. She didn't know if it was love or not.

Yang Ke imposed the responsibility on her, and she didn't know how to refuse, so naturally there was another person in her heart.

"You... Yang Ke... don't scare me, I just don't leave, I will follow you and protect you!"

At this time, Yang Ke, who was in a coma, suddenly opened his eyes, and said with a smile: "Wu Shuang, this is what you said, then I can rely on you."

Even though she had a Wushuang temper, she immediately turned against her, changed her face, threw down Yang Ke who was held in her arms, stood up and was about to leave. At this moment, she suddenly smelled something she had never smelled before. The strange fragrance has spread in the inn at some point.
