[Comprehensive martial arts] On the conduct of Jinyiwei's commanders

The streets of Wuyang City are all made of bluestone slabs.

Every time horses and vehicles pass by, the horseshoes will make a crisp sound. With the tall maple trees on both sides of the aisle, sitting here and drinking tea must be a very enjoyable thing.

"Do you recognize the eunuch he mentioned?"

Lu Xiaofeng is very proud now, no matter who can pull Shen Baizhong, he should be very proud.

So he was so proud that he was about to fly.

Shen Baizhong walked behind him, holding the knife and said slowly, "I know."

"Who is he?"

"Wang An." Shen Baizhong said, "I met him when I was very young. At that time, I was only nine years old, and he was already 61 years old."

"So he is more than 70 years old now?" Lu Xiaofeng asked, "Is he really the late emperor's chief minister?"

"Yes."

"Why are there so many important figures in Wuyang City?" Lu Xiaofeng asked again, "King Nan is here, and Wang An is here too. Could there be some secret here?"

"I don't know." Shen Baizhong shook his head, "I don't know if King Nan knew he had lost something."

"The gold and silver in Nanwang's mansion must have piled up into mountains, and there is no way that there is only one pearl in Nanwang's treasury. If I were a thief, I would definitely not be able to steal just one pearl."

"You think his treasury must have been emptied."

"Yes."

"Then we should see him even more." Shen Baizhong pondered, "Jin Jiuling has confessed that he and Aunt Gongsun are in the same gang, and they wanted to kill Zhang San just for a bright pearl. Simple?"

"They won't say anything else?" Lu Xiaofeng frowned.

"No, even if Zhang Pingye went to interrogate, nothing was found. They seem to be very scared."

There are already a few old people playing chess by the street, bearded and staring, wanting to regret the game, and behind them is a pastry shop, the aroma of pastries keeps getting into Lu Xiaofeng's nose, it seems that they have reached the long street that Xiao Mazi mentioned.

Lu Xiaofeng said again, "Do you think the person behind them is Gong Jiu?"

"Correct."

"Do you have proof?"

"I haven't." Shen Baizhong looked at Lu Xiaofeng, "But I know you must think so too."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled, "You're right. I think those who have the opportunity to visit the Nanwang Mansion must be relatives of the royal family. I also heard that Jin Jiuling was the steward of the Nanwang Mansion not long ago. Someone who can arrange him in that position, They must also be relatives of the emperor."

"Well, so..."

"So we should go buy rattles now." Lu Xiaofeng said loudly, "I also want to buy a few drool handkerchiefs, both for boys, girls and children, and it would be best to get some cloth tigers."

Xiao Mazi really didn't lie, most of the beggar gang's children were honest and trustworthy, everything was indeed sold on this street, Lu Xiaofeng only walked a few steps, and saw a shop he liked.

The boss was wearing a blue cloth and was sitting by the window drinking tea. People in Wuyang City always drink tea no matter what they do. If they don’t drink tea, they just drink soup. Stories, they always seem to live very leisurely and at ease.

Lu Xiaofeng realized that he already liked this place a little bit, and he really wanted to sit down and drink a pot of tea, and then go to the bathhouse for a good soak.

The best kind of steaming bathhouse.

"Are you blind? There are guests!"

Suddenly a rolling pin flew over from behind the store and hit the owner's feet hard, making Lu Xiaofeng jump.

The boss was still not in a hurry, even took the lid of the teacup to skim off the dust, and took another sip of the hot tea after blowing.

"Hey, why do you have to do business in such a fine weather?" The boss sighed, "Why can't you be more happy and make good use of this rolling pin? It was not born to beat people."

"This is my rolling pin, I can use it as I like, not to mention that I am not a human being beating me!"

The boss gave a wry smile, finally stood up, and said, "What do the customers want? I only sell children's stuff here."

Lu Xiaofeng was very interested in the proprietress who only heard her voice but didn't see her, so she glanced back, gave up when she didn't see anyone, and said, "I just want to buy some children's things, do you have anything to recommend me?" ?”

"I don't know how old the child is, is it a boy or a girl?"

Lu Xiaofeng was stunned, turned to look for Shen Baizhong, but found that this person did not go up the steps with him at all, and was standing far away under a maple tree watching someone play chess.

He looked at it so seriously, as if he had completely forgotten that there was such a person as Lu Xiaofeng.

Lu Xiaofeng could only take a deep breath, and said, "Actually, this child has not been born yet, and I don't know if it is a boy or a girl."

The boss was also stunned, and said slowly, "Then what exactly does the customer want to buy?"

"The rattle, the little flute, the little tiger, as well as the saliva handkerchief and clothes." Lu Xiaofeng said, "I want the best things you have here, as much as you have, I want everything from one to seven years old."

"When did a person like you have a child?"

Suddenly there was a surprised voice, Lu Xiaofeng looked back, and saw a person walking in from the outside, and walked to the shelf after a while.

This man was wearing a Taoist robe, with cloth shoes on his feet. The Taoist robe had been washed white and had many patches on it, but his hair was much whiter than the clothes, and it was messy, as if it had never been combed. He looks like a very poor old Taoist priest.

Who is this old Taoist priest?

Does he know Lu Xiaofeng very well?How did he know that Lu Xiaofeng would not have children?

Of course Lu Xiaofeng knew him, so he also decided to tease the old man, saying, "Why can't I have children? Am I not worthy of a wife?"

"You are a prodigal son." The old Taoist said, "Even if you marry yourself as a prodigal son, you will never get married, because you always feel that getting married will hold you back, right?"

Lu Xiaofeng could only say, "Yes."

"In that case, what else do you have to say?"

"No." Lu Xiaofeng shook his head.

"Then who does this child belong to?" the old Taoist asked, "Could it be that one of your friends asked you to be lonely?"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, nodded again, and said, "It is indeed a friend's child, but the child has not yet been born, and the parents have just been together."

"Not yet born?" The old Taoist smiled, "Then you are really anxious. Since you are so anxious, why don't you buy the teenagers as well."

Lu Xiaofeng glanced at him, shook his head, sighed again, and even took a few steps to the side, pretending to be disgusted.

"What is this for?" The old Taoist laughed, "Don't you have that much money? Have you lost all your money?"

"I'm just lamenting that the Mu Taoist elders in Wudang don't have any ink in their stomachs."

It turned out that this old Taoist priest was Wudang Mu Taoist, and even the head of this term was not as senior as him.

And the reason why he didn't want to be the head of Wudang was because he didn't want to be bound by that position.

Lu Xiaofeng continued, "Seven years old is a good time to lay the foundation of martial arts. I can teach this child the finger of the soul. The parents of this child can teach the palm and sword skills. You can teach Liuyun Feixiu, and that monkey spirit Sikong Zhaixing can teach you some lightness kung fu... Why do you think I need to buy any clothes? Naturally, I have to wear some coarse clothes when practicing martial arts, so that they won't be easily damaged."

Taoist Mu opened his mouth wide, slipped his hand and almost pulled the cloth tiger off the shelf, and said, "What is the origin of this child? Could it be that you want to train a number one in the world?"

"Not really." Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard and said, "Maybe it's because the current number one in the world likes this child very much."

"Shen Baizhong?" Taoist Mu asked, "Is he with you?"

"Yes." Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "It's just that he thinks I'm ashamed, so I can only buy these things alone."

"I heard that Shen Baizhong is not such a person, he should not despise others."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "You're thinking wrong, he just dislikes me, he thinks I'm childish playing rattle."

The boss had packed up his things, smiled, and said, "I've been selling rattles for many years, and I can assure you that this kind of thing has a magical power. No matter adults or children, they always want to play around when they see it. can be avoided."

Taoist Mu smiled, "That's right, I'm that kind of person, I always want to blow a windmill when I get it."

Lu Xiaofeng stared at Taoist Mu, and suddenly asked, "Why are you here in Wuyang City? I remember you always liked staying in Jiangnan."

Mu Dao said humanely, "I was called here."

"Who?" Lu Xiaofeng asked, "Is it Layman Gusong?"

"No."

"You are always inseparable from him, but I don't see him now."

"He came with me, and he is resting in an inn not far away at the moment. I am the only one who comes out and wants to buy some food to go back."

"Oh."

"I was hired." Mu Taoist continued.

"Hired?" Lu Xiaofeng was surprised, "Who can afford you? Who can afford Elder Wudang? Did he ask you to come here as a bodyguard?"

Taoist Mu sighed, "I am also a human being, no matter how high my martial arts are, I am still a human being. Human beings are bound to be bound. Who can escape the trivial matters of the world?"

Lu Xiaofeng understood, "It's Wudang's trivial matter."

"Yes." Taoist Mu sighed, "Many years ago, one of my uncles offended someone in the court, and this person settled it for us. Now it's my turn to pay him back the favor."

"What are you going to do for this person?" Lu Xiaofeng was curious.

"It's nothing, I just take a look at the house for him." Taoist Mu smiled wryly, "Guard the gate for him."

It is really a luxury for the dignified Wudang elders to guard the gate.

But Lu Xiaofeng also understood who this person is, isn't there only one person in Wuyang City who can solve Wudang's troubles?

Taoist Mu really said, "It's that Manager Wang."

Shen Baizhong actually doesn't know how to play chess, the only chess he can play is Go, but this does not prevent him from pretending to abandon Lu Xiaofeng.

After Lu Xiaofeng looked back at him, Shen Bai finally sat down in the gazebo with peace of mind.

Just when he was halfway through wiping the knife, Lu Xiaofeng had already carried a big bag of things, and used the willow branches layered on top of his head to get in.

None of them got angry. There is a kind of friend in this world, and they will never get angry with each other, let alone this is a trivial matter.

"What did you buy?"

"A lot, too many to talk about." Lu Xiaofeng put down the bag with a bang, and said, "You really should go in and have a look, the boss is a very nice person."

Shen Bai finally thought of the owner of the inn, and also the owner of the coffin shop.

Before he could ask the boss what was good, Lu Xiaofeng continued, "You will never guess who I met."

"Who?"

"Wooden Taoist."

"Wooden Taoist?"

"Yes." Lu Xiaofeng said, "Mu Taoist was hired by Wang An, you must never have guessed it."

"I can't think of it." Shen Baizhong said calmly, "So we should go to his house as guests in a while."

Lu Xiaofeng was already looking forward to it, he had never seen a eunuch before.
