The end of the new year is approaching, and it is time to prepare for the new year. Every household in Jianyang City is buying new year's goods. The east and west streets are filled with a variety of goods, and the official road outside the east gate is full of vendors delivering goods.

In previous years, it was determined not to be so lively. The faces of the people in Jianyang City were filled with the joy of the New Year, and they had the illusion of a peaceful and prosperous world.

Luo Yunsheng was sitting by the window of the restaurant, looking at the bustling streets, feeling very emotional. After drinking two pots of wine, he began to recite poems dizzily, not knowing what time it will be.

Li Yuhan sat across from him, silently drinking a few glasses of light wine.Lushan's family rules are very strict, he rarely drinks alcohol, and the scholar in front of him can be obsessed with watching the street, which makes him a little puzzled, "Mr. Li is here to watch pedestrians?"

Luo Yunsheng shook the empty jug, beckoned Xiaoer to bring another jug, and clinked glasses with Li Yuhan, "What does Li Daxia think is different between this place and Xunyang?"

"There are few people in martial arts here." Li Yuhan thought for a while, and only said this.Almost everyone on the streets of Xunyang has a weapon close by, and conflicts and disputes can be seen everywhere, but here is very peaceful.

"That's right, there are few people who can practice martial arts, and there are many unarmed people. Such a day can be regarded as a peaceful life." Luo Yunsheng sighed, "Last time, the prince dealt with the two outer disciples of the Lushan School, and the head of the Lushan School Any dissatisfaction?"

"I'm a little dissatisfied, but Master likes Ziqi very much, so he doesn't care about it." Li Yuhan said indifferently.

"Heh..." Luo Yunsheng sneered and didn't continue talking. After a moment of silence, he suddenly pointed to a shop selling rouge and gouache across the street, "The shopkeeper of that shop was originally from Xunyang. Yang's shop is opposite the brothel, and the business is very good. Just this year, that shop was taken by a widow surnamed Lu."

Li Yuhan didn't know what he was going to say, so he put down his glass and listened carefully, "Is no one caring?"

"I reported it to the government. The government said that the widow was from the Jianghu, and I couldn't control it. I had to ask the Lushan faction to mediate. I found out that the widow was the widow of a disciple of the Lushan school last year. The sect died in the martial arts competition. The Lushan sect only paid him 20 taels of silver, saying that the widow was not easy, and told him not to be troublesome." Luo Yunsheng spoke with the poet's unique cadence, which made people want to listen unconsciously. go down.

Li Yuhan frowned slightly, because he devoted himself to practicing martial arts and seldom took care of common affairs. The property of the Lushan School was left to the senior brother to take care of it, so he didn't know that Xunyang City was like this.

"Famous and upright, hoe the strong and help the weak, hoe the strength of others, and support your own weakness," Luo Yunsheng chuckled, stood up, leaned against the window, and let the cold wind with snowflakes blow on his face On, "Today's Martial School is no different from those clan dignitaries in the previous dynasty."

"You can't say that!" The seats on the second floor are not separate private rooms, but a lobby that is slightly smaller than the first floor, and there are several other tables of guests sitting nearby.

The people at the next table held long knives wrapped in golden scabbards in their hands, each with a hulking back and a strong appearance, but the leader was a young boy with an immature face.

"Famous and decent people are not the same as those rich and powerful people." The young man raised his chin slightly, with an undisguised arrogance in his expression.

"What's the difference? Taxes are levied on the areas under the jurisdiction of the sect; corvée is collected if the sect wants to build houses; any girl the sect likes will be snatched away directly, and they are not allowed to say no." A slightly hoarse voice The voice came from the stairs, and everyone looked over one after another, and saw a young man in a white fox fur-trimmed cloak coming slowly, it was Chen Ziqi who hadn't seen him for a long time.

"You're talking nonsense!" The boy was a little annoyed, and raised his hand to hold the long knife on the table.

"Where are you talking nonsense, your mother was snatched by your father, if you don't believe me, go back and ask your uncle." Chen Ziqi bent his peach blossom eyes and smiled kindly, "Young Master of the Golden Knife Gate, huh?"

That's right, the young man with the knife is the young master of the Golden Knife Sect——Qi Zhao.Originally, the head of the Golden Knife Sect wanted to visit Chen Ziqi in person, but as the New Year was approaching, he couldn’t get away, so he sent his son here to give Chen Ziqi a few New Year’s gifts, and discuss the chicken farm by the way, turning hostility into friendship .

When the young man heard Chen Ziqi point out his identity, he couldn't help being startled, and then carefully looked at Chen Ziqi's face, and immediately guessed his identity somewhat.

"Junior Brother, Master said that we should make good friends with King Jian." The people around him reminded Qi Zhao in a low voice.

However, even after guessing Chen Ziqi's identity, Qi Zhao couldn't help but lose his temper. It's really deceptive for this man to talk about his mother!

"Oh, why are you so angry?" Chen Ziqi took off his cloak and handed it to Wu Bubu, who was following behind him, "This king heard that Young Master Qi is coming, but he didn't dare to enter the gate of the palace, so he came here to greet him in person."

The Young Master of the Golden Knife Gate blushed, and wanted to scold this person without revealing his identity, but Chen Ziqi said it directly, so it was difficult to continue making trouble, holding his breath in his chest, and almost didn't recite it Go away.

Chen Ziqi smiled lightly, walked over to say hello to Mr. Luo and his uncle, and then took Jindaomen and his party to the palace.

In fact, he came back from Guiyun Palace not because of people like Jindaomen, but because an imperial decree from Emperor Tiande was about to reach Jianyang.Guiyun Palace got the news in advance, so he came back early, lest the imperial envoys realize that he was not in the fief and be caught by Emperor Tiande.

Accepting the gift from Jindaomen, Chenzi Qi smiled kindly, "Master Qi is too polite, Jindaomen is a subordinate of Huangshan sect, my second brother and I have always been friends, and we are all on our own."

Qi Zhao looked at Chen Ziqi's immature face. They were about the same age. Hearing what he said, he always felt that he didn't look like someone who would slaughter a thousand chickens of Jindaomen.

"The chickens in Jindaomen were slaughtered overnight. I heard that this kind of thing happened in the prince's chicken farm. My father asked me to come and ask..." Qi Zhao said tentatively.

"Ah, that's right!" Chen Ziqi was shocked, "This happened to the Golden Knife Gate too! Hey, I don't know who killed a thousand swords, hired the Blood Blade Pavilion to chop my chicken, this kind of person You should cut off your children and grandchildren!"

Qi Zhao was taken aback for a moment, hearing Chen Ziqi scolding so bluntly, he felt more and more that it was not the killer he hired, "It seems that these two incidents may have been done by one person?"

Dan Yi nestled in Chenzi Qi's arms, and couldn't help rolling her eyes.Qi Qi scolded the person who killed his chicken, not the one who killed Jindaomen chicken, of course he scolded mercilessly.

The two teenagers who were about the same age chatted quite well, Qi Zhao soon forgot the unpleasantness in the restaurant, and chatted with Chenzi Qi.

Chenzi Qi chatted wildly with him with a smile on his face, and in a short while, a lot of words came out.The Golden Knife Sect came to show their favor because of the order of the second child; the position of the Sect Master of the Golden Knife Sect was determined by the Huangshan Sect; The son; the second child has no news of Jiang Liangcai, and it has been determined that something happened to him...

"Brother Qi and I hit it off right away. We don't care about the lord or the young master. We will be friends from now on. I, the vassal, can't leave the fief without edict. Brother Qi can come and play with me!" Chen Ziqi pulled Qi Zhao, very affectionate .

Qi Zhao was also very happy, and held Chen Ziqi's hand back, calling "Brother Ziqi".

"Chirp!" A little red bird suddenly appeared from Chen Ziqi's lapel, staring at the hands they held and shouted dissatisfiedly.

"The imperial decree arrived—" just as he was speaking, there was a loud announcement from outside the door. Chenzi Qi twitched his brows slightly, let go of Qi Zhao with a smile, apologized to him, and hurried to the front hall.

Qi Zhao was very curious, so he quietly followed, wanting to hear the content of the imperial decree.

A group of guards came in the wind and snow, the leader was a commander of the Jinwu Guard, who had just dismounted and came in with the imperial decree and read it out directly.

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Qi Qi: Chickens are always being killed, I suggest we form a chicken raising alliance Qi Zhao: Okay, how to fix it?

Qi Qi: First, you need to pay the franchise fee of 998 taels

Qi Zhao: Oh, here you are

Qi Qi: The mountains are high and the road is far away. The franchise fee has to be brought over by someone, and the handling fee still needs 30 taels. By the end of the year, you can get three times the income Qi Zhao: Good good!

Master of the Golden Knife Sect: My son, this is a phone scam, don't believe it! QQ
