the enlightener says

Really unlucky.

But when she was lost, she didn't dare to offend Qin Ke. If someone really broke out, she couldn't bear to go around, thinking that although the big boss above her had a deep background, she was not a person who liked to fight with others. temper.

She still frowned and thought about it, then shook her head and said, "Gao Yishui...it seems like you haven't heard of this person before?"

Qin Ke was slightly stunned, and asked: "But I heard from him that he is the biggest singing and dancing in Jiujiang City... No, he is a luthier in a brothel. Could it be that there is a brothel bigger than Lan Yuxuan here?"

"No." Hearing this, the procuress said proudly: "This is the biggest brothel in Jiujiang City. Look, the girls upstairs are all fresh and beautiful. How can other brothels have such a foundation? I dare say , girls like me, if you just drag one of them into those small buildings, it must be the top card! This young master... you really don't want to come in and take a look?"

As she said that, she raised her head and shouted to the carved pavilion: "Girls, hurry up and say hello to this young master!"

"Hi, young master..." Yingying Yanyan from upstairs suddenly smiled coquettishly, "Master, come in, young master... There is good wine here at my house..."

"Don't... I don't want to go in." Qin Ke lowered his head, not daring to look, and hurriedly turned around, "But... Maybe I made a mistake, I'll go to another house to ask. "

"Oh, master, why bother you with this matter, we also have many luthiers here... you can listen to any piece of music you want, and if you get tired of listening, there will be someone to accompany you to rest... Why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea, I Send someone to help you find it?"

"No, no, no." Qin Ke shook his head again and again, walked out, and almost tripped over the threshold when he reached the door, and heard another laugh from Yingying and Yanyan upstairs. Without looking back, he led Heifeng and ran.

There are many brothels in Jiujiang City, of course not only Lan Yuxuan's family is famous, but Qin Ke's family went to find Gao Yishui after a long time. On the contrary, he himself could not stand the enthusiasm of those girls more and more.

Of course he never thought that the excessive "courtesy" he received was due to the tall black horse behind him. Of course, some people with sharper eyes would also carefully look at the jade on the hilt of his "Bodhisattva" Decorated with sword tassels, but with just one glance, those gazes will be reluctant to move away for a long time.

The sword spike was one of the rewards from the palace when Gao Changgong conferred the title of Great General of Jingwu Da Sima. Compared with other more expensive rewards, this sword spike is really not very eye-catching. He just thought it looked good, so he hung it on the "" Bodhisattva" on the hilt of the sword.

As for Qin Ke, I don't know whether it is luck or misfortune. He is a fledgling, and he has not really experienced the great world, but he has already been related to the top figures in this world, such as Gao Changgong, Zhuge Wanling, Mulan, Wang Xuanwei...

And even though he knew that the black wind was precious, he had no way of realizing what kind of status in Jingwu would be represented by being able to lead the northern barbarian war horse, and it was even more impossible to detect the mystery contained in the emblem on the sword tassel.

"Lan Yuxuan...Wenxiang Pavilion...in the dim..." Walking on the street full of brothels, Qin Ke recalled those poetic building signs with a wry smile, "I didn't find them, but I saw them so What an elegant name, but where is Gao Yishui?"

The time was approaching dusk, and Qin Ke felt a little hungry, thinking that he had already spent a lot of money on the way out, and he could save money on food and drink, so he asked someone for directions, and led Heifeng to Jiujiang City The "humble land" where good and bad people are mixed is gone.

Chapter 196 A Kick Outside the Restaurant

Speaking of a humble place, it is actually just a slightly barren place in Jiujiang City.Even though the rich and wealthy gather in Jiujiang City and the river is full of merchant ships, behind this prosperity, there are also labor forces such as porters, boatmen, craftsmen...etc.

And these laborers don't have the money to enjoy those luxuries, and it is even more impossible to spend a lot of money on meals, choosing expensive meals made by famous chefs. These people gather and form a whole block over time.

There is everything here, just like a big grocery store, most of the passers-by are poor people in linen clothes, all kinds of cries are mixed together, like a melodious song.

"Steamed buns... steamed buns... hot food!"

"Candied haws, sweet candied haws..."

"Big bowl of tea! Come drink a pot!"

In some shops, you can even see fighting scenes. Wouldn’t it be easy for these people who have been working all year round to drink a few more bowls of bad wine? Bustling.

Qin Ke led Hei Feng, and listening to the voice of the market, he couldn't help but feel a little familiar. He is not a high-ranking man, why should he slap his face swollen and pretend to be fat?

No, why do you want to be fat?He thought of the chubby Xiaoqian in the school, and shook his head, he didn't want to dress up like that.

"When you get to this place... I guess you have to cover your money bag tightly," Qin Ke said.

However, just as he was about to take a step forward to find a cheap restaurant to eat something, there was a sound of cups breaking in the wine shop in front of him.

I saw the waiter from the wine shop rushing out from the door, beating and cursing, and kicking up a ragged, unkempt man. The man was holding an old piano in his hand, and he was kicked in embarrassment. The figure staggered a bit.

Xiaoer yelled, "What Laoshizi luthier? Just want to eat and drink for nothing while holding a worthless rotten violin. You think it's beautiful!"

The luthier hit this kick, but he didn't complain of pain, he just touched his buttocks, swayed drunkenly, and when he heard Xiao Er's words, he seemed very displeased. Qin? Let me tell you! I don’t even bother to tell you how valuable this piano is, and I can’t exchange it if you sell your shop! I, Gao Yishui, is one of the most famous luthiers in the world. Can you invite me to a small tavern? Playing the piano for guests is your blessing!"

Xiao Er looked at this drunk man, who was half a head taller than himself, and his face was flushed and his eyes wide open, which was quite intimidating. Xiao Er subconsciously took two steps back.

The luthier then cursed and said: "It's nothing more than a bunch of scumbags who don't know the rhythm but want to be arty, and want the old bullets to go high? You only deserve to listen to the latrines pee!"

It’s okay if he doesn’t say it, but once he said this, he not only offended the waiter, but even the customers in the store were a little embarrassed. Jian immediately wanted to go out and teach this rude guy a lesson.

But the luthier saw that the situation was not good, so he turned his head and ran away, saying, "A gentleman uses his hands but doesn't speak... oh no... a gentleman uses his mouth but doesn't move his hands!"

Qin Ke watched from the side with a wry smile on his face, thinking that this guy is really interesting.

Just listening to it, he felt that the voice was so familiar, and after he passed the voice through his mind several times, he suddenly widened his eyes and carefully recalled the luthier's song that he saw just now. With a somewhat dusty face, that guy...couldn't be...

He led Heifeng and ran fast all the way, catching up with the luthier. The luthier saw Qin Ke chasing after him with a long sword in his hand, and immediately yelled, running faster, "Hey! I've given up, you still want to Chasing! It’s inhumane! Killing! Killing!”

This kind of scene of drinking and making trouble is obviously very common here, and the people coming and going on the street don't care about it at all, and many people even recognize that this is the luthier who cheats, eats, drinks and coaxes all day long, and one after another Spit several times in his direction.

Qin Ke caught up with the luthier, tugged at his cuffs, and shouted, "Old Gao! Old Gao! It's me!"

The luthier was pulled by his cuff, unable to break free for a while, covered his face and said in a miserable voice: "Don't! Don't call me Lao Gao, you are Lao Gao... No, you are Gao Lao, Mr. Gao, don't hit someone in the face ...Even kicking eggs!"

Qin Ke looked at him dumbfounded. He never thought that he would meet him again under such circumstances, so he raised his voice and said, "It's me! Qin Ke!"

"A treat? No treat, no treat... I'm so poor that all I have left is this broken violin. I've lived with each other for so many years. This is my wife, and I definitely can't be her!" Gao Yishui still covered his face with the violin. Using his "lady" as a shield...

Qin Ke was really helpless, in a fit of anger, he suddenly stretched out his hand to push the old piano away, and put his face on it, thinking in his heart that this guy should not punch me in the face, and shouted loudly: " Look who I am!"

The luthier, or Gao Yishui finally opened his eyes, stared blankly at Qin Ke's young but handsome face, frowned, seemed to think for a moment, and was suddenly surprised and delighted: "Ah! It's you!"

"It's me..." Qin Ke said helplessly. This meeting was not touching at all, but it was very funny.

Gao Yishui laughed loudly, holding the old piano with one hand, patted Qin Ke's shoulder vigorously with the other, and said loudly: "It's you! Ake! Haha, if I didn't say it earlier, what kind of treat is it..."

"My surname is Qin, okay...you said the treat yourself." Qin Ke only felt a little tired, and spent a long time trying to find such a guy. Do you really have to rely on him to be your guide along the way?

Gao Yishui's eyes widened, looking at the fat, strong and fit Hei Feng behind Qin Ke, he seemed a little disbelieving, so he moved closer, took a closer look, and even wanted to reach out to touch it. a touch.

Although Heifeng has been tamed, he still has the wild horse spirit after all. On the grassland, he can even chase a lone wolf alone, and he can smash the sky cap of a wild wolf with just one kick.Feeling Gao Yishui stretching out his hand frivolously, it was a little displeased, opened its mouth to reveal neat dies, and bit it.

Gao Yishui hastily withdrew his hand and laughed loudly: "Northern war horse! Good stuff."

He looked at Qin Ke, and slapped Qin Ke hard on the shoulder again. This slap made the corner of Qin Ke's mouth grin, "You can do it, I haven't seen you for a few years, you've grown up! You're promising!"

"It's not mine, I borrowed it too." Qin Ke glanced at Heifeng, Heifeng's big eyes were piercing, perhaps smelling the alcohol smell on Gao Yishui's body, it sneezed in disgust, He shook his head.

"Borrowed?" Gao Yishui carefully looked into Qin Ke's eyes, convinced that what he meant was "borrowing" and not "stealing" in the so-called slang in Jianghu. A strong smell of alcohol rushes straight into Qin Ke's nostrils, "Good thing, good thing. Being able to do things for the powerful, I'm right, I'm right... Hahaha."

"Don't talk about me." Qin Ke didn't refute, pointing to his clothes covered with a lot of dust and asked: "Why are you like this?"

"How?"

"Just... like this..." Qin Ke made a flying kick again, the meaning of which was obvious.

Gao Yishui came to his senses, groaned, and smiled again: "Well, anyway, he is a unparalleled noble luthier, but he met a herd of cows, no matter how hard he played, he couldn't hear the elegance. , in the market place no one asks, don’t mention it, don’t mention it.”

Qin Ke looked at him, he didn't seem to be pretending to be free and easy, he could only laugh along, the two had just met, and it was not easy to just stand, Qin Ke was also hungry now, so he asked Gao Yishui to have dinner together Of course, Gao Yishui readily agreed, holding the old piano and pulling Qin Ke back to the wine shop just now.

Chapter 197

Xiaoer stood at the door, with his hips akimbo staring at Gao Yishui squintingly with a pair of pea-sized eyes, and said unkindly: "Why are you back again? Didn't kick enough just now? I'll hit you with a pole again."

Gao Yishui hugged Qin and stared back fiercely: "What are you fighting for? I am a guest, my lord!"

"Bullshit guest, you still owe our boss thirty baht!" Xiaoer's mouth was almost raised to the sky, and he stretched out a hand and spread it out, "Repay it."

Gao Yishui slapped Xiaoer's outstretched hand, and cursed: "It's only thirty baht, look at how stingy you are! Is this thirty baht worthy of you? Tell you, I'm here to drink and spend money." !" He pulled Qin Ke over and said, "See, this is my friend! Brother!"

Xiaoer glanced at Qin Ke, a little disapproving, looked at Gao Yishui angrily, and said, "Your friend, your friend can't eat and drink for nothing."

Gao Yishui was laughed angrily at him, and was about to kick his foot, but Xiaoer showed his shoulder pole, and he immediately put his foot back: "I have never seen the world. My friend can still eat and drink for free? He can There is plenty of money! Look at his horse, and look at his sword!"

Xiaoer didn't even look at it, but looked at the sky with his hips on his hips: "There are a lot of poor businessmen in Jiujiang City. Is it rare to have a horse? Returning the sword? Ask your friend if he can play swords? I will just follow you Same, play cheap!"

Gao Yishui was furious, thinking that scholars can be killed but not humiliated, I have to "theory" with you today even if I don't want this piano, but Qin Ke took a step forward and stopped him directly.

"This...little brother." Qin Ke sighed, thinking that he was programmed to be a "cheaper" out of nowhere, which is really a disaster.He reached out his hand to take out a few pieces of silver from his pocket, spread his hands over, and said, "I'll pay him back the money he owes you. We're both hungry, so give us some hot food first."

Xiao Er looked at the broken silver in Qin Ke's hand in amazement, as if he was checking the authenticity, and was about to reach out to touch it, but Gao Yishui snatched it away.

He said angrily, "What are you doing!"

Gao Yishui rolled his eyes while holding the broken silver: "What do you pay back? It's someone else's money. It's my Gao Yishui's account. There's no reason for anyone else to pay it for me." He handed the money to Qin Ke and said, "See clearly, This is the money for the meal he invited me to, and it is my account, I will pay you back in two days."

"In two days?" Xiaoer sarcastically said, "I will be thankful if you can pay back the thirty baht in a month. What are you bragging about? Anyway, I don't care. If you don't pay back the money, you won't be able to go in."

"Why? Young master has the ability to find someone to invite me to dinner. If you say you won't let me in, won't you let me in?"

"Don't let in!"

"If you don't let me in, I will come in!"

"If you want to enter, I'll hit you with a pole!"

……

Under the eaves of the black tiles, Heifeng finally had some fodder, but what made him a little dissatisfied was that this wine shop didn't even have a stable, and he just tied himself to the wooden pole at the door.What's the use of a wooden pole as thick as a baby's arm?If I want to leave, can't I just pull it and break it?

Quite a few of the passing crowd looked at it in amazement. Here, few people saw such a burly war horse.

Hei Feng was a little irritable, but Xiao Hei on top of his head was still sleeping peacefully. He didn't know the relationship between this ancestor and the one inside. Unexpectedly, full of grievances.

After finally entering the restaurant, Qin Ke finally sat down. The hot food was not served so quickly, but the wine had already arrived on the table. Gao Yishui put down the old piano, filled both glasses with wine, and raised his glasses, haha Said: "Come, let's meet again!"

Qin Ke reluctantly picked up the glass, clinked with the high-spirited Gao Yishui and drank it down in one gulp. He felt that the wine was sour, but it was not very good.

Before he left Daoxiang Village, he basically didn't know how to drink, but after coming to Jingwu, he didn't drink much, but every time he drank, it was all kinds of good wines, so he was naturally not used to these inferior drinks.

"It doesn't taste good, does it?" Gao Yishui saw his expression, and said with a smile, "That's right, with your current status, you are not used to such bad wine."

"I don't have any identity." Qin Ke put down his cup, looked at the Heifeng Road outside the door, "Don't think I'm so powerful."

"Okay..." Gao Yishui poured another glass, and this time he didn't drink it all at once, but slowly pressed it against his lips. With his years of walking in the rivers and lakes, he naturally saw that what Qin Ke said was not false. Then, after thinking for a while, he said, "However, you were able to come out of Daoxiang Village, which surprised me. Why, now that you have become more courageous, you feel that Daoxiang Village is too small, and you don't want to stay with your master anymore?"

These words hit the heart, Qin Ke felt his heart stopped for a moment, he shook his head, and said: "No, master...he is missing."

"Missing?" Gao Yishui drank the wine with calm eyes, "When did it happen?"

"It's been a few years. Master became ill not long after you left... No, it's not sick... Cough, he just disappeared anyway." Qin Ke now thinks about the sudden and sudden illness of Master back then, feeling a little uncomfortable. Wishing to think more, he looked at Gao Yishui's eyes, but he was a little strange, "You don't seem surprised at all."

"What's so surprising." Gao Yishui drank the wine slowly, put the cup gently on the table, and said with a smile: "I traveled all over thousands of rivers and mountains, and happened to enter Daoxiang Village to 'gather wind'. When I first When I saw your master, I felt that a person like him would never settle down and end his life in a hut."

Qin Ke was dumbfounded, and said, "What do you mean?"

"He is a dragon. Even though the dragon sometimes dozes off, one day, he will definitely wake up, and the dragon's chant will go straight to the sky, and the sky and the earth will shake." Gao Yishui recalled what he saw back then. Among them, he was playing chess with himself, every move of the chess pieces was very slow and light, his face was expressionless, and the board and chess pieces collided almost silently.

Gao Yishui thinks that his chess skills are average, but the four skills of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are interlinked.

Looking at it from a distance, he could vaguely feel that the game of chess was no longer just a simple black and white game, but was almost so deep that it shocked the universe.

He couldn't understand the things on the chessboard, let alone Zhuge Wolong, but with his intuition, such a person was born to stir up trouble, how could he simply be buried in such a small village?

Listening to Gao Yishui's evaluation, Qin Ke remained silent for a long time, then he said in confusion, "Maybe."

"So...you want to find him?" Gao Yishui smiled, "Let me guess, have you got any clues about him now, and then you want to go all over the world to find someone, but you can't even find the way?" I don’t know each other, so I plan to find someone who knows the way, so I thought of me?”

Qin Ke blinked, but Gao Yishui didn't expect Gao Yishui to react so quickly, he hurriedly replied: "Yes."

"No." Gao Yishui replied quickly.

Qin Ke was in a daze, and he said again: "Recently, the world is not peaceful. Both Tang and Canghai are fighting hard. The Mohist army has expanded to 15 infantry. It is said that the spies on both sides have handed over their hands. We're going to fight. In comparison, Jing and Wu are still at peace..." The corner of his mouth raised, "But... it's just now."

Qin Ke was taken aback for a moment. He really didn't expect that Gao Yishui didn't go because of this. Regarding the general trend of the world, he learned a lot in the Imperial Academy, but the things in the books couldn't keep up with reality after all. He was puzzled: " So...there is going to be a war again?"

"Fighting always has to be fought." Gao Yishui said, "The world has been divided into four parts for many years, and there must be a result. Originally, Tang State wanted to take advantage of Wu State's division and chaos. There is enough strength to go north to dominate the world. As soon as Jing and Wu stood up, another tall general, eight thousand ghost riders from Qingzhou, swept Tang. "Help the world and save the people from fire and water", but internally, the two families of Confucianism and Legalism are fighting each other day and night, and there is no enemy, so how can these two families stand together and talk well?"

"Looking at it this way, it's Jing Wu. Although the friction between the gentry and Prime Minister Zhuge continued, and there was a disturbance this year, the embankment was destroyed and the fields were flooded, but in the end the matter was resolved safely. The gentry was slapped hard. How could the old man Zhong bear it...or...is this Prime Minister Zhuge really too scary?"

Gao Yishui was dressed in a linen shirt with a lot of oil stains and dirt on it, but he hit the point in a few words, from Jing Wu's internal situation to the general trend of the world, he explained everything clearly.

Qin Ke remained silent. In comparison, he, who had a lot of contact with Zhuge Wanling, had no idea about these inside stories.

"That's right." Gao Yishui said with a smile, "I remember your master's name is Zhuge Wolong, right? It just happens to have the same surname as Prime Minister Zhuge, so there might be some nepotism?"

Qin Ke nodded: "My master is Zhuge Wanling's younger brother."

"Brother?"

"Dear brother."

"No wonder." Gao Yishui raised the corners of his mouth thoughtfully, "No wonder, the two brothers are not so fuel-efficient. So, your horse, and your sword..."

"What do you want to say?" Qin Ke was puzzled.

At this moment, Xiao Er came up with hot food, which is actually a very simple meal: a pile of boiled beans, a pile of fried shredded radish, and a pile of blackened radish. Bacon, makes up this simple meal.

Chapter 198 Royal Relatives?

Qin Ke didn't care much, he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of bacon and opened his mouth to eat it. The salty smell went straight to his throat. He coughed, ready to pick up the rice bowl to fill his hungry stomach, but Gao Yishui But he smiled strangely, as if he had figured out something, he grabbed his arm and said, "Don't eat, I'll take you to eat something good."

Qin Ke just hugged the rice bowl, still holding a mouthful of rice in his mouth, a little bit unwilling to let go: "I...I'm not eating right now."
