The ancient life of Fushe's son
In Chapter 1, I feel that the author's writing is not bad.
Mu Yan's understanding of the martial arts arena, the smelly old man should be a member of the Heyi Sect, although he didn't mention his past, he still guessed it.
Four years ago, he had met a few people from the Unity Sect, male and female, with handsome figures. They seemed to be asking him about the old man's whereabouts. At that time, he didn't know the relationship between the old man and the Unity Sect, so He lied and said he hadn't seen it, and the stinky old man didn't appear in front of him again more than two months later, as if he was avoiding these people.
In Li Muyan's opinion, even if he knew that the smelly old man was a member of the Unity Sect, he would still choose to lie. Who knows if the smelly old man is a traitor who left the sect, and he might have taken important things from the Unity Sect.
Li Muyan looked at the Yin-Yang Jue in his hand and the jade pendant on his chest, always felt that these two things in front of him were a big trouble, and when the smelly old man came back, he quickly returned them to him.
In the past few years, he also asked his friends from the rivers and lakes to help him inquire about the stinky old man's whereabouts, but there was no useful news. Fortunately, Li Muyan was exhausted. After all, he couldn't never come back to see his apprentice for the rest of his life.
Speaking of martial arts, even in a peaceful and stable society, the rivers and lakes are not as calm as imagined.
The year before last, Li Muyan heard rumors circulating in the world that "the supreme being of the martial arts, who slays the dragon with a precious sword, commands the world, no one dares not to obey, relying on the sky to come out, who will fight for the front", before all the martial arts people come to the fore, these two swords All were confiscated by the court, and the matter was left alone.
The martial arts sect is controlled by the imperial court, and even if they get Yitian Tulong, they will not be able to become the supreme martial arts master. Everyone knows this well. Even so, these two magical weapons and the secrets hidden in them still attract martial arts people flocking to them.
Why would there be Yitian Tulong without the Yuan Dynasty and Mingjiao?
This is the origin of these two swords. Although the Mongolian army was driven out of the Central Plains, Xiangyang City was still destroyed. Guo Jing and Huang Rong died for their country. The Yitian Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber in Mu's suicide note was handed over to someone close to him.Later, the Yitian Sword fell into the hands of Miejue Shitai, and the Dragon Slaying Saber was nowhere to be found.
Now everything is different, there is Zhou Zhiruo in Emei, Zhang Wuji in Wudang, but there is no Minmintemoor in Li Dynasty, everything is completely different, even Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji are only outstanding disciples of their sect, it is no longer possible to have the original name of Jianghu force.
In the past two years, Li Muyan has been in contact with the Jianghu. Although he is only an unknown person in the Jianghu, he knows the major events in the Jianghu. );
There is a turmoil in the Unity Church (it may be related to the smelly old man, but I don't know the specific situation);
The head of the Kunlun faction was arrested by the government because of love and hatred for murder;
The Clean Clothes Sect and the Dirty Clothes Sect of the Beggar Clan broke up, and they were divided into a series of Jianghu ranks such as the Southern Beggars and the Northern Beggars.
One of these is due to the restaurant he opened, and the other is the friend from the rivers and lakes who doesn't know where he went.
He is not a person who can always insist on doing one thing. Whenever he wants to do a big thing, there are always many trivial excuses to confuse his hands and feet. Learning martial arts is the first thing he can stick to.
But learning martial arts and stepping into the arena are two different things for him. If there is no push behind him, he will probably choose to be a hermit.
Putting Yin Yang Jue back under the pillow, Li Muyan felt that it was not safe again, so he took it out again, put it in his usual box for small things, and planned to take it with him when he returned to Li's house.
After tidying up, Li Muyan left the villa and rode his beloved horse to the county. Muyan Villa was built on the outskirts of Changting County, not far from the county, and it took him two quarters of an hour to reach the city on horseback.

5. Hu Wan Lou
When I arrived at Tianhua Restaurant, I just got off my horse. Xiao Er, who was standing at the door of the restaurant to receive guests, saw that his boss was coming, so he quickly helped hold the horse, and shouted inside, "The shopkeeper, the boss is back." Then he pulled the horse. The horse went to the backyard to settle.
Before Li Muyan entered the restaurant, he heard someone calling his name in front of the window on the second floor. He looked up and saw that it was that silly boy Hu Wanlou, who was smirking and waving at him.Hu Wanlou is the friend from the rivers and lakes that Li Muyan mentioned earlier.
A chubby middle-aged old man came out to greet him with a smile on his face. This is the shopkeeper of the restaurant. When Li Muyan was away, he took care of the restaurant's affairs.
Tell him that a friend upstairs invited him to a party, and we will talk about other things later, so Li Muyan walked towards the stairs.
Stepping into the second floor of Tianhua Building, Li Muyan sat opposite him amidst Hu Wanlou's warm greeting. The waiter saw that his boss had arrived, and informed the kitchen to add more food and wine.
After the food and drink were served, the two sides greeted each other while pushing glasses and changing glasses. Li Muyan also informed Hu Wanlou of his recent surname change. He said that he went to Pingcheng County and knew about it, and said with a smile that he is now the eldest son of the Li family.
Li Muyan has known Hu Wanlou for more than two years, and the day he saw Hu Wanlou was not long after Muyan's restaurant opened, and some signature dishes were still on sale, and the restaurant was bustling with people.
Just as he was about to go back to the cubicle, a man suddenly blocked his way. This man was dressed in white and held a folding fan. He was extremely coquettish, but unfortunately he wanted to talk to him with his head up. He called his girl and said Excuse me.
The man in white said that his name was Hu Wanlou, a boy from a rich family who fell in love with Mu Yan at first sight and wanted to know his name.
Mu Yan didn't intend to answer him, just said that he was a man, and slipped into the cubicle when the other party was surprised, and when he came out again, the other party had disappeared.Mu Yan thought he had gotten rid of that man, but he was entangled with him again the next day.
Over the years, due to physical reasons, Mu Yan bound his chest whenever he went out, except when he fell asleep at night.
Although he looks like a good woman, he has a neutral voice and is taller than ordinary men, so he will not be recognized as a woman.
Apart from being harassed by women, he has never been harassed by men before. Who would have thought that he would meet such a wonderful thing.
Mu Yan has been obsessed with men for a few days, and she can't hide and hide, and it's not convenient to make a move, so she has to find a way to prove that she is not a woman, but she can't take off her clothes to prove it.
I had no choice but to find a place with my back to him to pee while he was following him secretly, and then I got rid of him.
After that day, Hu Wanlou did not appear in front of him for several days.Later, Hu Wanlou came to Mu Yan again, and Mu Yan thought that he wanted to be nice to him regardless of whether he was a man or a woman, so he was so scared that he quickly hid.
Hu Wanlou knew that he was hiding in the cubicle, and said that he had come to plead guilty, so Mu Yan opened the door to welcome him in. To express his apology, Hu Wanlou also gave him the dagger for cutting iron mud on his body. Yan Bian and Hu Wanlou became friends.
Li Muyan later asked Hu Wanlou why he thought the tall Muyan was a woman?
The other party sneered, saying that he had seen many tall women of other races, and mistakenly thought that Mu Yan was born so tall because of the blood of other races.
As the relationship with Hu Wanlou deepened, Mu Yan also knew the identity of the other party. He turned out to be a thief, although the other party claimed to be a grand thief.
"What are you thinking about?" Hu Wanlou interrupted his thoughts.
Li Muyan looked at him narrowly, and blinked at him, "I was thinking about the way someone fell in love with me at first sight."
Hu Wanlou waved his hand in embarrassment, and looked at him again, "Don't mention it, who knows that you have a beautiful face, but you are a man inside." When he saw Li Muyan stand and relieve himself, he was frightened After going back for a few days without falling asleep, that beautiful first love just ended without a problem.
Li Muyan shook the wine glass in his hand, said casually, "I'm only half right", before waiting for the other party's response, he said again, "I am indeed a man", and another sentence "but I am a woman", with the wine in the glass Swallow in the stomach.
Hu Wanlou didn't notice anything unusual, but felt that his friend was a little distracted today.
Hu Wanlou suddenly lowered his voice, "Brother, brother, I did something big this time."
Li Muyan didn't have much reaction, Hu Wanlou had to show him where he stole some good things every time he saw him, and today was no exception.
But Hu Wanlou is not one of those low-class thieves, he only steals property from rich people with bad reputations, sells it and distributes it to the poor, and sometimes acts as a ghost thief Kidd, stealing some prestigious treasures, enough for fun It was returned intact.
Hu Wanlou was young, he didn't know who his teacher was, and his lightness kungfu was excellent, there were so many masters in the palace, there was nothing he could do about him.
He was eager to show off to Mu Yan this time, it was very likely that it was something from the palace, and it was extremely valuable.
Interrupting what Hu Wanlou was about to say, Li Muyan said softly, "Walls have ears."
Hu Wanlou understood, dipped his fingers in wine and wrote four words, "Yi Tian Tu Long." These four words almost shocked Li Muyan, who couldn't hold his chopsticks. He glanced at him and said, "After dinner, I'll go back and settle the score with you." .”
Li Muyan didn't know how to eat, so he hurriedly finished the meal, and forced the heartless Hu Wanlou out of the restaurant. Seeing that the boss was about to leave, the shopkeepers behind all came to see him off, and said in unison, "Boss, go slowly."
"Mu Yan, what are you doing, I haven't eaten well yet?" Hu Wanlou, who was being pulled behind, struggled.
Li Muyan was a little angry, "You only know how to eat, do you know how serious this matter is?" Looking at the other party's somewhat bewildered face, Li Muyan was a little discouraged, let go of his hand, and said coldly, "Take me to where you live now."
Seeing that he was a little angry, Hu Wanlou's excitement cooled down, and he led him to his residence without saying a word.
Hu Wanlou's residence is very secluded, and the appearance is no different from the surrounding residences. It's a tricky rabbit and three caves. Every time Mu Yanxing sees him, his residence is different, and he should be rented temporarily.
Bringing Li Muyan to the inner room, Hu Wanlou pried open the wooden floor and took out two long boxes from inside.
Put the two boxes on the table, opened it, and saw that the Dragon Slaying Saber was black and heavy, neither gold nor iron, I don't know what it was made of.
The sword was four feet long and looked very simple. Li Muyan picked up the Yitian Sword and looked at it carefully. He saw a faint layer of green energy emanating from the scabbard. The sword was not out of the scabbard, and it was already extraordinary. The golden thread on the scabbard The inlaid two words: "Yitian..."
At this moment, Li Muyan was thinking about how to deal with these two magical weapons. He knew that the palace was heavily guarded. Although Hu Wanlou was very light, he was in the palace without anyone, and no one could catch him.
If he came down from above and confronted the imperial guards in the palace head-on, he would not be able to bring out Yitian Tulong, there should be another helper.
"Who is helping you?" Li Muyan asked Hu Wanlou, he was a little surprised, "How do you know I have helpers?" Li Muyan replied calmly, "I guess."
"Good guy, so you kid is deceiving me." Hu Wanlou was a little discouraged. He knew that Li Muyan was so smart that he couldn't hide anything from him, so he told him the whole story.
At that time when the news of Yitian Slaying the Dragon came out, Hu Wanlou also wanted to see these two magical weapons and their future actions. When he heard that these two weapons were brought into the palace by the court, he fell silent.
Although he has been to the palace, he has never stolen anything in the palace. After all, those big insiders are not vegetarians.
Now the world of martial arts is no longer as dominant as it was in the previous dynasty, and there are many masters hidden in the palace, so he dare not be too presumptuous.
But not long after, someone he didn't know found him and said that he could help him steal these two weapons from the palace.
Now that I think about it, it is very strange, that person is very familiar with the palace, he even knows the time and order of the guards at night, and even knows the location where Yitian Tulong is placed, and he disappeared without asking for any reward.
The imperial court didn't seem to pay much attention to these two weapons, they were just regarded as ordinary collectibles, and no powerful experts were sent to supervise them. In addition, the palace was busy preparing for the Queen Mother's birthday, so there was no time to take care of them. In this way, Lou stole Yitian Tulong without anyone knowing it.
Li Muyan explained to him the seriousness of the matter. Now the martial arts are all watching the news of Yitian Tulong. If they know that these two weapons are in Hu Wanlou's hands, there will be another bloody storm, and he will be in danger at that time.
That helper was unreliable. I am afraid that within a few days, news spread that Yitian Tulong was in the hands of Hu Wanlou.
Li Muyan carefully went through all the things that happened, from the rumors about Yitian and Dragon Slaying, to now Hu Wanlou was bewitched by someone to steal the Yitian Sword and Dragon Slaying Knife from the palace. What kind of machinations.
With too few clues, Li Muyan can't get a glimpse of the truth now, so he can only take one step at a time.
Li Muyan told Hu Wanlou the secret of relying on the sky to slay the dragon. Hu Wanlou was very surprised and asked him how he knew the ins and outs. Li Muyan could only lie that his master told him.
Hu Wanlou knew that Li Muyan had a master who was like an outsider, so he had no doubts about what he said.
After discussing with each other, they planned to take the things out.Everything was ready, Li Muyan was holding the Yitian Sword, and Hu Wanlou was holding the Dragon Slaying Saber. After a violent collision, there was a sound, and the two weapons were separated from each other, and the two books fell from the hollow gap.
Li Muyan gave the Nine Yin Scriptures to Hu Wanlou, and took away Wu Mu's suicide note, left the courtyard of Hu Wanlou, and returned to the restaurant. At home, he can't have too much time to manage the business of the restaurant, so he can only hand over important affairs to the shopkeeper.
The things that should be done in Changting County should also be done, and he will have to go back with his parents and Ah Zi for two more days.He was a little reluctant, and cherished every minute before parting even more.
For the remaining two days, Li Muyan mostly stayed with his adoptive parents, or took Azi to the county town to play, and he did not forget to promise Fusheng, and bought some toffee and pastries for Fusheng by the way.
Afraid of causing trouble, Li Muyan has not contacted Hu Wanlou since he separated from him, nor has he seen him in Changting Court again, so he should have left.
The happy time is always short, and soon it will be time to leave. Although everyone is very reluctant, they can only leave at this point. Li Muyan promises that they will come back to see more. Even if he is not related to the Wang family, the truth is in the hearts of the people. .

6. Cousin
After solving all the matters in Changting County, Li Mu said goodbye to his adoptive parents and younger sister Ah Zi, and rode a steed to Pingcheng County.
There are many pedestrians along the way, most of them are passing businessmen.
Pingcheng and Changting are adjacent counties, which are located in the relatively flat terrain of Yongzhou.Yongzhou is located in the northwest, with complex terrain, including plains, mountains, and plateaus. It is an important military strategic place to resist foreign enemies, but it has always been a poor place.
Soon after the establishment of the Li Dynasty, with the defeat of the Mongolian Kingdom, Yongzhou's strategic importance was gradually reduced.
Mongolia was included in the territory of the Li Dynasty. After years of enlightenment, most people in Mongolia can speak the Central Plains dialect, and Yongzhou has also become a place for Han people to conduct business with other ethnic minorities. It has changed from a poor place in the past to a prosperous and prosperous place. place.
Sheepskins, horses, cattle and sheep, and dairy products on the prairie flowed continuously from Yongzhou to the Central Plains. Silk, porcelain, and grain from the Central Plains also spread from Yongzhou to the west. After traveling thousands of miles to Li Dynasty, it can be seen how high the gold content of Li Chaorong's richest man in Pingcheng County is.
At home, Li Muyan made some rest and planned to visit his parents, but before he arrived, he was told by his servants that his parents were waiting for guests in the front hall.
Who is the guest here?Li Muyan asked the servant beside him.
"Back to the eldest son, the person here is Qian Tongwen, the eldest son of my uncle's family in Yangzhou Mansion." The servant replied.
With confidence in his mind, Li Muyan was led by the servant to the front hall. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a young man sitting on a chair next to him, talking and laughing at his parents, calling aunt and uncle.
"Father and mother, Mu Yan is back." When everyone heard the voice and looked towards him, Li Muyan called out: "Father and mother."Seeing him coming, Father Li introduced to him, "This is Qian Tongwen, the eldest son of your uncle's family, who is two years older than you."
The young man hurriedly got up, "Is this Cousin Muyan? He is really a good-looking talent." Li Muyan saluted him, "I have met my cousin." Although Li Muyan knew some things about the Li family, he didn't know anything about his uncle's family.
The man in front of him was handsome, and his speech and behavior were natural and generous. He did not expect to be his cousin.
Qian Tongwen was exhausted all the way, and Li's father saw that he was not in good spirits, so he asked the servant to arrange for him to rest in the guest room.
Qian Tongwen has been weak since he was a child, and he has gotten better in recent years, but he was extremely tired from the exhaustion of the journey. He had talked with his uncle, aunt, and cousin who were supporting him, and fell asleep as soon as he returned to the guest room.
After Qian Tongwen left, Father Li told Mu Yan seriously the purpose of Qian Tongwen's coming to Li's house.
After Li Muyan's grandfather, Mr. Qian, retired, he lived with his son Qian Xiaohe, governor of Yangzhou. A few years ago, he suffered a stroke and was paralyzed in bed. In the past two years, he has improved a bit, and he can barely speak.
After Li Muyan recognized his ancestor and returned to his family, Li's father wrote a letter and told the Qian family about the matter. The old man was very excited when he heard this and shouted to see Mu Yan. Received Qianfu.
Grandpa wants to see him?Li Muyan was a little surprised, since Qian Tongwen was here, he must be going to Qian's mansion to lie down.After expressing to Li's father that he was willing to visit his grandfather, Li Muyan went back.
Li Muyan didn't know much about the foreigner's family, so he asked Yun'er, "Cousin Qian Tongwen came to the house today, I don't know much about his family, please tell me what you know."
Yun'er, who was cleaning the cupboard, stopped, and heard the young master asking about his uncle's house, so she walked up to him and told him what she knew.
According to Yun'er: Uncle Qian Xiaohe is a high-ranking official. He has two sons and two daughters under his knees. Both daughters are married. The eldest son, Qian Tongwen, is twenty years old. He is smart, studious, and gentle. .
The youngest son, Qian Tongwu, is sixteen years old, has a headstrong personality and likes to have fun. He used to like to come to Pingcheng to play, and the Li family servants avoided him.
The year before last, he came to Changting to visit Li's father and Li's mother, and took Fusheng out when he went out to play.
If it was just for fun, he actually took Fusheng to the brothel. Fortunately, there were acquaintances of Mr. Li's business in the brothel. He asked someone to report to the Li family and took Fusheng back. After that, the Li family didn't want to see money. Tongwu.
Li's mother was very angry when she heard about this, so she wrote a letter to explain the matter to her uncle, and the uncle reprimanded her youngest son before giving up. Later, Qian Tongwu seldom came to Li's house.
After learning a little bit about the situation of his uncle's house, Li Muyan remembered his promise to Fusheng, so he went to Fusheng's yard with big and small bags full of snacks.
As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, he heard noisy voices in the courtyard. When he entered the courtyard, he found Fusheng and a few servants yelling together. When he got closer, he found that they were fighting crickets.
Seeing that the eldest son was coming, the boys stopped and stood in a row to salute him. Fu Sheng next to him hesitated and called him "Brother". Li Muyan enjoyed this scene very much.
Asked the servants to clean up the crickets that were still biting on the ground, Li Muyan took Fusheng's hand into the room and sat down together. He handed some snack bags containing toffee, candied fruit and pastries to the maid beside him, and told her to eat them every day. Take some for Fusheng, don't eat too much.
Li Muyan opened the package of Yunpian Cake left behind, and fed it to Fu Sheng who was waiting anxiously.
Seeing Fusheng's puffed cheeks, with an expression of enjoyment on his face, he muttered, "It's delicious." Li Muyan, who has never liked sweets, tasted two pieces of Yunpian Cake for the first time.The taste is fragrant and soft, but the sweetness is still a bit high for him.
Looking at Fu Sheng, Li Muyan felt that if he hadn't been born stupid, he would be a handsome young man now.
The Li family raised Fusheng very well. Although he was stupid, he was very well-behaved, sensible and likable.
Raising such a child well shows how much effort it takes. No wonder the mother is weak, but maybe half of it is because of him, Li Muyan thought.
Seeing that Fusheng had finished eating the dim sum, Li Muyan took out a handkerchief and wiped the crumbs from his mouth. He talked to Fu Sheng again, asking him what he likes to eat and what to play, and made an appointment with him to go out with him next time before leaving. Fusheng's yard.
After that, Li Muyan never saw his cousin again. It was not until the next day when Li Muyan went out early in the morning that he met Qian Tongwen who had slept until this morning. The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Qian Tongwen Inviting him to go out to play together, Li Muyan was also idle, so he went out for a walk with this cousin.
Although Li Muyan comes to Pingcheng every year to worship his ancestors, he seldom visits here, and he is not very familiar with Pingcheng County.
Qian Tongwen has been here a few times, and every time he wanders around, he knows some places to go.
They came to a place called Yuanyang Lake. Although it was autumn and most of the lotus leaves had withered, there were still some lotus flowers blooming on the lake, presenting its unique beauty to people.
A few couples of mandarin ducks occasionally swam on the lake. The lake is clear, and the pavilion in the center of the lake and the distant mountains are reflected in the water. It looks special and it is indeed a good place.
With such a beautiful scenery, Li Muyan thought of a poem "Dongting Lake" written by Liu Yuxi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The night scene in the lake, but I can't think of other poems for the scene.
Qian Tongwen next to him was a real literati, and he didn't mock Li Muyan's poems, but only praised him. Li Muyan was a little ashamed, and he was really trying to show off his knowledge in front of an ancient literati.
Li Muyan and Qian Tongwen stepped into the pavilion in the center of the lake to watch the scenery, because they had already missed the best time to view the scenery, and the people they met along the way were not too many. There were already some people in the pavilion, including men, women, and old people. There are few, but it seems that a family comes to play.
Li Muyan chatted with the older man among these people. He said that he was a businessman from Lin County. He came to Pingcheng this time to buy some goods. Because the distance was very short, he took his family out to relax.
The old man had an extraordinary bearing, was well-informed, and knowledgeable, so the few people said a few more words.
Time passed quickly, and the sun was already setting in the west between talking and laughing, and Li Muyan and Qian Tongwen went back home.
On the way back, when he heard that Li Muyan was a martial artist, Qian Tongwen was a little envious, saying that he had been weak and sick since he was a child, and had never had the opportunity to learn martial arts.
The Li Dynasty has always attached equal importance to civil and military affairs, and the examination of all aspects of imperial examination candidates is quite strict, especially the six arts of gentlemen. The court believed that an official would not be able to undertake a lot of government affairs without a healthy body, so Qian Tongwen stopped at juren.
After years of recuperation, Qian Tongwen's health has improved, and he is not as prone to illness as before. A few years ago, when he came to Yuanyang Lake to play, he still sat in a sedan chair to go back and forth. Now walking is no longer a serious problem, only a little tired.
For the sake of his official career, the Qian family also asked Qian Tongwen to learn martial arts in the past two years. Since he had never learned martial arts, it was quite difficult for Qian Tongwen to learn martial arts, but now he can handle the imperial examination.
Li Dynasty set up Wenju and Wuju. It is better for literati to be proficient in the six arts, and students from poor families will also be taught in the academy. Warriors are required to be literate and hyphenated (proficient in military strategy is better), and they attach great importance to the overall quality of officials.
After talking about it like this, they returned to Li's house not long after, and it happened that the sky was dark, about two o'clock in the unitary hour.
The Li family held a dinner party to welcome Qian Tongwen. The whole family sat together and exchanged cups. It was very lively.
During this period, Li's father and Li's mother wanted to save money for a few more days. He thought that he was preparing for the imperial examination next year, and he had to go back early because he had a lot of business. He agreed to rest for another day, and then took Li Muyan to Yangzhou the day after tomorrow.
Seeing that he was so determined, Li's father and Li's mother gave up and asked him about the imperial examination. After the dinner was over, everyone went back to their residences.
Because Li Muyan was going to his uncle's house, he couldn't leave empty-handed. The next morning, the Li family went to buy some gifts for Muyan to take to Yangzhou for his uncle and grandpa.

7. Qian Fu
With his father's consent, Li Muyan and Qian Tongwen went to Yangzhou to visit their grandfather the next day.
As the carriage stopped and went, Qian Tongwen told him some of the rules of the Qian Mansion and some other things on the way, and also said that if he met Qian Tongwu in the mansion, if he was messed up, just ignore him.
Half a month later, I arrived at Yangzhou City. The city wall of Yangzhou City was more than ten feet high, majestic and majestic. There were some mighty guards standing on the city wall, which looked very solemn.
Today, Li Muyan is like a country bumpkin who entered the city for the first time. In his previous life, he had visited Yangzhou, but compared with the current Yangzhou City, his experience is naturally completely different. This city contains rich history and culture, no matter where it is In any era, people are obsessed with it.
After entering the city, Li Muyan didn't open the car curtain to look outside again. He planned to wait until the Qian Mansion, and it wouldn't be too late to come out to play after seeing his uncle and grandpa.
When he arrived at the Qian Mansion, Mu Yan first went to meet his uncle Qian Xiaohe. This is a majestic man with a white face, a half-length beard, and a tall and straight figure, somewhat resembling his mother. A handsome man whom women envy.
Seeing him saluting, Li Muyan yelled: Uncle, he stared at Muyan, his sharp eyes seemed to penetrate him, then he suddenly laughed again, saying that he is worthy of being his nephew, but his personality is like that of a young man. myself at the time.
Seeing his amiable face, Li Muyan relaxed, and Qian Xiaohe asked him about his previous life environment. Knowing that he had learned martial arts, he was very impressed, and wanted to make gestures with Mu Yan. In front of the class, he refused.
Having said that, Qian Xiaohe asked his son Tongwen to take Mu Yan to the guest room to rest first.
Qian Xiaohe was in charge of the military power in Yangzhou, and there were even some military guards in the mansion, he took Li Muyan to the guest room, Qian Tongwen explained some things to him, and left a handsome young man behind.
The boy's name is Qian Hu, he is thirteen or fourteen years old, Kai Ai's baby face is far from his domineering name, Li Muyan asked him some homework and fun places in Yangzhou City, and asked him to retreat, intending to take a rest.
Standing up, Li Muyan looked around the room,
Suddenly, I saw the bronze censer burning by the wall, and a cloud of smoke rose from the furnace. I was shocked when I heard it, and my body lightened. The fatigue disappeared in an instant. It turned out that the scent that I just smelled in the room came from here. Here, I don't know what kind of incense is burned, it is probably worth a lot.
Although the interior is gorgeous, it is not worth admiring. Thinking that there are a lot of things to do at night, Li Muyan lay on the bed in the inner room with his eyes closed.
About an hour later, Li Muyan was woken up by Qian Hu, saying that the old man wanted to see him after waking up, so after a little tidying up, Li Muyan followed Qian Hu to the old man's residence.
As soon as he entered the inner room, he saw a group of people standing beside the old man, including Qian Tongwen, a luxurious wife (probably Aunt Luo Shi), and several servants and maidservants.
Qian Tongwen introduced the wife next to Li Muyan, "This is my mother." Muyan saluted her and she just nodded silently.
Seeing Mu Yan coming, the old man waved his hands and called his name to let him come. Mu Yan called out to him: Grandpa.
Seeing the grandparents and grandchildren meeting each other, the lady pushed back some maids and servants, who chatted and laughed with the old man.
The old man is conscious, but he has some speech barriers, he can only nod his head, and occasionally spit out some words.
Li Muyan told him some interesting stories about his adoptive parents' house and the current situation of Li's house, and said that Fusheng missed him very much, and Qian Tongwen and Luo Shi who were beside him also talked to him, making the old man very happy.
Time passed quickly, when it was time for the old man to eat, the maid brought a bowl of bird's nest porridge, Luo Shi fed the porridge to the old man with his own hands, the old man lay down and fell asleep after eating, and everyone quietly retreated out.
At this time, the sky was dark, and a group of people went to the hall to have dinner. On the way, Qian Tongwen introduced the situation of the old man to Li Muyan: the old man is over seventy years old, and his body is getting weaker due to a stroke a few years ago. Words, but especially lethargy in recent months, the situation is not optimistic.
Li Muyan listened carefully to his words, and not long after, everyone came to the hall. In the hall, uncle Qian Xiaohe and cousin Qian Tongwu had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw their arrival, they announced the opening of the banquet.
But in the time for a cup of tea, the table is full of delicacies, and everyone is kind to Li Muyan, only Qian Tongwu is bearded and staring at him, as if he is still annoyed that the Li family treats him badly, under the pressure of Qian Xiaohe Only then did he forcefully call him cousin.
During the dinner, Qian Xiaohe asked Li Muyan about his martial arts skills, but Li Muyan only said that he had learned some boxing skills in the county town, and didn't mention anything about the stinky old man.
After drinking for three rounds, the banquet was over, and everyone returned to their residences.After Li Muyan washed up, he practiced Yin-Yang Jue for a while and rested. Since he practiced Yin-Yang Jue to the sixth floor, he has stopped here in the past two years, and he has not seen a breakthrough for a long time. care.
The next day, at dawn, Li Muyan got up and walked around the Qian Mansion. Some servants saw that although he did not know him, but saw that he was dressed luxuriously and had a delicate appearance, they guessed that he was the Young Master Biao who came yesterday, and they all saluted him. Li Muyan nod.
Walking to the west courtyard, Li Muyan didn't dare to approach it when he saw heavy soldiers guarding it. Although he wasn't close, he had all five senses and seemed to smell a strange smell.
Without thinking too much, he left here.After eating breakfast, Li Muyan planned to find his cousin Qian Tongwen, but was told by Qian Hu that he was preparing for the imperial examination and had no time to accompany him.That being the case, Li Muyan asked Qian Hu to take him out to play.
The most famous place in Yangzhou City is the brothel. Qian Hu followed Qian Tongwu for a period of time and often went in and out of these places with him. Naturally, he strongly recommended it to Li Muyan.
Li Muyan doesn't like to go to these places. He only goes back when he has to. It's not that he discriminates against these brothel women. One is because of his special body, and the other is that he thinks that brothels are just places for men to have fun. The gorgeous poems and essays come from the hands of romantic literati and poets who come and go to brothels and Chusi. They describe brothels as places full of talents and beauties, full of romance, so as to whitewash their decadent nature.
Compared with brothels, Li Muyan prefers to go to Yifang. There, men, women and children, are all proficient in various musical instruments, including playing, singing, acrobatics, singing and dancing. There are even barbarians and blond foreigners who come here. They are all here for these interesting programs.
There were few entertainment items in ancient times. Every time Li Muyan went to the art workshop, it was full of people and there were no empty seats.
After listening to a few pieces of music in Yangzhou's Yifang, Li Muyan took Qian Hu and left here.
The street is more lively than when we came here, with people coming and going, shouting and selling, one after another.
The shops and small stalls on the street warmly greeted the people passing by, and occasionally some people were attracted to stop and choose goods.
Some young women secretly looked at Li Muyan and whispered in low voices, but Li Muyan didn't pay much attention.
Not far away, with firecrackers and gongs and drums, it seems to be a newly opened restaurant.After walking all morning, although Li Muyan didn't feel tired, Qian Hu beside him seemed a little tired, so they went into this restaurant to rest for a while.
Li Muyan went up to the second floor, found a seat by the window and sat down, ordered a few signature dishes, ordered a jug of good wine, and asked Qian Hu to sit down and eat with him, the master and servant enjoyed the food quietly delicacies.
Not long after, more and more people came to the restaurant, and the tables around Li Muyan were full.
Almost full of wine and food, Li Muyan suddenly came next to the five men who seemed to be from the rivers and lakes, talking in a low voice about something, which seemed to be related to Hu Wanlou.
A man with a square face said to the others: "Have you heard? The Yitian Sword and the Dragon Saber were stolen from the palace by the strange thief Mu Feiyan."
others are difficult
Four years ago, he had met a few people from the Unity Sect, male and female, with handsome figures. They seemed to be asking him about the old man's whereabouts. At that time, he didn't know the relationship between the old man and the Unity Sect, so He lied and said he hadn't seen it, and the stinky old man didn't appear in front of him again more than two months later, as if he was avoiding these people.
In Li Muyan's opinion, even if he knew that the smelly old man was a member of the Unity Sect, he would still choose to lie. Who knows if the smelly old man is a traitor who left the sect, and he might have taken important things from the Unity Sect.
Li Muyan looked at the Yin-Yang Jue in his hand and the jade pendant on his chest, always felt that these two things in front of him were a big trouble, and when the smelly old man came back, he quickly returned them to him.
In the past few years, he also asked his friends from the rivers and lakes to help him inquire about the stinky old man's whereabouts, but there was no useful news. Fortunately, Li Muyan was exhausted. After all, he couldn't never come back to see his apprentice for the rest of his life.
Speaking of martial arts, even in a peaceful and stable society, the rivers and lakes are not as calm as imagined.
The year before last, Li Muyan heard rumors circulating in the world that "the supreme being of the martial arts, who slays the dragon with a precious sword, commands the world, no one dares not to obey, relying on the sky to come out, who will fight for the front", before all the martial arts people come to the fore, these two swords All were confiscated by the court, and the matter was left alone.
The martial arts sect is controlled by the imperial court, and even if they get Yitian Tulong, they will not be able to become the supreme martial arts master. Everyone knows this well. Even so, these two magical weapons and the secrets hidden in them still attract martial arts people flocking to them.
Why would there be Yitian Tulong without the Yuan Dynasty and Mingjiao?
This is the origin of these two swords. Although the Mongolian army was driven out of the Central Plains, Xiangyang City was still destroyed. Guo Jing and Huang Rong died for their country. The Yitian Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber in Mu's suicide note was handed over to someone close to him.Later, the Yitian Sword fell into the hands of Miejue Shitai, and the Dragon Slaying Saber was nowhere to be found.
Now everything is different, there is Zhou Zhiruo in Emei, Zhang Wuji in Wudang, but there is no Minmintemoor in Li Dynasty, everything is completely different, even Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji are only outstanding disciples of their sect, it is no longer possible to have the original name of Jianghu force.
In the past two years, Li Muyan has been in contact with the Jianghu. Although he is only an unknown person in the Jianghu, he knows the major events in the Jianghu. );
There is a turmoil in the Unity Church (it may be related to the smelly old man, but I don't know the specific situation);
The head of the Kunlun faction was arrested by the government because of love and hatred for murder;
The Clean Clothes Sect and the Dirty Clothes Sect of the Beggar Clan broke up, and they were divided into a series of Jianghu ranks such as the Southern Beggars and the Northern Beggars.
One of these is due to the restaurant he opened, and the other is the friend from the rivers and lakes who doesn't know where he went.
He is not a person who can always insist on doing one thing. Whenever he wants to do a big thing, there are always many trivial excuses to confuse his hands and feet. Learning martial arts is the first thing he can stick to.
But learning martial arts and stepping into the arena are two different things for him. If there is no push behind him, he will probably choose to be a hermit.
Putting Yin Yang Jue back under the pillow, Li Muyan felt that it was not safe again, so he took it out again, put it in his usual box for small things, and planned to take it with him when he returned to Li's house.
After tidying up, Li Muyan left the villa and rode his beloved horse to the county. Muyan Villa was built on the outskirts of Changting County, not far from the county, and it took him two quarters of an hour to reach the city on horseback.

5. Hu Wan Lou
When I arrived at Tianhua Restaurant, I just got off my horse. Xiao Er, who was standing at the door of the restaurant to receive guests, saw that his boss was coming, so he quickly helped hold the horse, and shouted inside, "The shopkeeper, the boss is back." Then he pulled the horse. The horse went to the backyard to settle.
Before Li Muyan entered the restaurant, he heard someone calling his name in front of the window on the second floor. He looked up and saw that it was that silly boy Hu Wanlou, who was smirking and waving at him.Hu Wanlou is the friend from the rivers and lakes that Li Muyan mentioned earlier.
A chubby middle-aged old man came out to greet him with a smile on his face. This is the shopkeeper of the restaurant. When Li Muyan was away, he took care of the restaurant's affairs.
Tell him that a friend upstairs invited him to a party, and we will talk about other things later, so Li Muyan walked towards the stairs.
Stepping into the second floor of Tianhua Building, Li Muyan sat opposite him amidst Hu Wanlou's warm greeting. The waiter saw that his boss had arrived, and informed the kitchen to add more food and wine.
After the food and drink were served, the two sides greeted each other while pushing glasses and changing glasses. Li Muyan also informed Hu Wanlou of his recent surname change. He said that he went to Pingcheng County and knew about it, and said with a smile that he is now the eldest son of the Li family.
Li Muyan has known Hu Wanlou for more than two years, and the day he saw Hu Wanlou was not long after Muyan's restaurant opened, and some signature dishes were still on sale, and the restaurant was bustling with people.
Just as he was about to go back to the cubicle, a man suddenly blocked his way. This man was dressed in white and held a folding fan. He was extremely coquettish, but unfortunately he wanted to talk to him with his head up. He called his girl and said Excuse me.
The man in white said that his name was Hu Wanlou, a boy from a rich family who fell in love with Mu Yan at first sight and wanted to know his name.
Mu Yan didn't intend to answer him, just said that he was a man, and slipped into the cubicle when the other party was surprised, and when he came out again, the other party had disappeared.Mu Yan thought he had gotten rid of that man, but he was entangled with him again the next day.
Over the years, due to physical reasons, Mu Yan bound his chest whenever he went out, except when he fell asleep at night.
Although he looks like a good woman, he has a neutral voice and is taller than ordinary men, so he will not be recognized as a woman.
Apart from being harassed by women, he has never been harassed by men before. Who would have thought that he would meet such a wonderful thing.
Mu Yan has been obsessed with men for a few days, and she can't hide and hide, and it's not convenient to make a move, so she has to find a way to prove that she is not a woman, but she can't take off her clothes to prove it.
I had no choice but to find a place with my back to him to pee while he was following him secretly, and then I got rid of him.
After that day, Hu Wanlou did not appear in front of him for several days.Later, Hu Wanlou came to Mu Yan again, and Mu Yan thought that he wanted to be nice to him regardless of whether he was a man or a woman, so he was so scared that he quickly hid.
Hu Wanlou knew that he was hiding in the cubicle, and said that he had come to plead guilty, so Mu Yan opened the door to welcome him in. To express his apology, Hu Wanlou also gave him the dagger for cutting iron mud on his body. Yan Bian and Hu Wanlou became friends.
Li Muyan later asked Hu Wanlou why he thought the tall Muyan was a woman?
The other party sneered, saying that he had seen many tall women of other races, and mistakenly thought that Mu Yan was born so tall because of the blood of other races.
As the relationship with Hu Wanlou deepened, Mu Yan also knew the identity of the other party. He turned out to be a thief, although the other party claimed to be a grand thief.
"What are you thinking about?" Hu Wanlou interrupted his thoughts.
Li Muyan looked at him narrowly, and blinked at him, "I was thinking about the way someone fell in love with me at first sight."
Hu Wanlou waved his hand in embarrassment, and looked at him again, "Don't mention it, who knows that you have a beautiful face, but you are a man inside." When he saw Li Muyan stand and relieve himself, he was frightened After going back for a few days without falling asleep, that beautiful first love just ended without a problem.
Li Muyan shook the wine glass in his hand, said casually, "I'm only half right", before waiting for the other party's response, he said again, "I am indeed a man", and another sentence "but I am a woman", with the wine in the glass Swallow in the stomach.
Hu Wanlou didn't notice anything unusual, but felt that his friend was a little distracted today.
Hu Wanlou suddenly lowered his voice, "Brother, brother, I did something big this time."
Li Muyan didn't have much reaction, Hu Wanlou had to show him where he stole some good things every time he saw him, and today was no exception.
But Hu Wanlou is not one of those low-class thieves, he only steals property from rich people with bad reputations, sells it and distributes it to the poor, and sometimes acts as a ghost thief Kidd, stealing some prestigious treasures, enough for fun It was returned intact.
Hu Wanlou was young, he didn't know who his teacher was, and his lightness kungfu was excellent, there were so many masters in the palace, there was nothing he could do about him.
He was eager to show off to Mu Yan this time, it was very likely that it was something from the palace, and it was extremely valuable.
Interrupting what Hu Wanlou was about to say, Li Muyan said softly, "Walls have ears."
Hu Wanlou understood, dipped his fingers in wine and wrote four words, "Yi Tian Tu Long." These four words almost shocked Li Muyan, who couldn't hold his chopsticks. He glanced at him and said, "After dinner, I'll go back and settle the score with you." .”
Li Muyan didn't know how to eat, so he hurriedly finished the meal, and forced the heartless Hu Wanlou out of the restaurant. Seeing that the boss was about to leave, the shopkeepers behind all came to see him off, and said in unison, "Boss, go slowly."
"Mu Yan, what are you doing, I haven't eaten well yet?" Hu Wanlou, who was being pulled behind, struggled.
Li Muyan was a little angry, "You only know how to eat, do you know how serious this matter is?" Looking at the other party's somewhat bewildered face, Li Muyan was a little discouraged, let go of his hand, and said coldly, "Take me to where you live now."
Seeing that he was a little angry, Hu Wanlou's excitement cooled down, and he led him to his residence without saying a word.
Hu Wanlou's residence is very secluded, and the appearance is no different from the surrounding residences. It's a tricky rabbit and three caves. Every time Mu Yanxing sees him, his residence is different, and he should be rented temporarily.
Bringing Li Muyan to the inner room, Hu Wanlou pried open the wooden floor and took out two long boxes from inside.
Put the two boxes on the table, opened it, and saw that the Dragon Slaying Saber was black and heavy, neither gold nor iron, I don't know what it was made of.
The sword was four feet long and looked very simple. Li Muyan picked up the Yitian Sword and looked at it carefully. He saw a faint layer of green energy emanating from the scabbard. The sword was not out of the scabbard, and it was already extraordinary. The golden thread on the scabbard The inlaid two words: "Yitian..."
At this moment, Li Muyan was thinking about how to deal with these two magical weapons. He knew that the palace was heavily guarded. Although Hu Wanlou was very light, he was in the palace without anyone, and no one could catch him.
If he came down from above and confronted the imperial guards in the palace head-on, he would not be able to bring out Yitian Tulong, there should be another helper.
"Who is helping you?" Li Muyan asked Hu Wanlou, he was a little surprised, "How do you know I have helpers?" Li Muyan replied calmly, "I guess."
"Good guy, so you kid is deceiving me." Hu Wanlou was a little discouraged. He knew that Li Muyan was so smart that he couldn't hide anything from him, so he told him the whole story.
At that time when the news of Yitian Slaying the Dragon came out, Hu Wanlou also wanted to see these two magical weapons and their future actions. When he heard that these two weapons were brought into the palace by the court, he fell silent.
Although he has been to the palace, he has never stolen anything in the palace. After all, those big insiders are not vegetarians.
Now the world of martial arts is no longer as dominant as it was in the previous dynasty, and there are many masters hidden in the palace, so he dare not be too presumptuous.
But not long after, someone he didn't know found him and said that he could help him steal these two weapons from the palace.
Now that I think about it, it is very strange, that person is very familiar with the palace, he even knows the time and order of the guards at night, and even knows the location where Yitian Tulong is placed, and he disappeared without asking for any reward.
The imperial court didn't seem to pay much attention to these two weapons, they were just regarded as ordinary collectibles, and no powerful experts were sent to supervise them. In addition, the palace was busy preparing for the Queen Mother's birthday, so there was no time to take care of them. In this way, Lou stole Yitian Tulong without anyone knowing it.
Li Muyan explained to him the seriousness of the matter. Now the martial arts are all watching the news of Yitian Tulong. If they know that these two weapons are in Hu Wanlou's hands, there will be another bloody storm, and he will be in danger at that time.
That helper was unreliable. I am afraid that within a few days, news spread that Yitian Tulong was in the hands of Hu Wanlou.
Li Muyan carefully went through all the things that happened, from the rumors about Yitian and Dragon Slaying, to now Hu Wanlou was bewitched by someone to steal the Yitian Sword and Dragon Slaying Knife from the palace. What kind of machinations.
With too few clues, Li Muyan can't get a glimpse of the truth now, so he can only take one step at a time.
Li Muyan told Hu Wanlou the secret of relying on the sky to slay the dragon. Hu Wanlou was very surprised and asked him how he knew the ins and outs. Li Muyan could only lie that his master told him.
Hu Wanlou knew that Li Muyan had a master who was like an outsider, so he had no doubts about what he said.
After discussing with each other, they planned to take the things out.Everything was ready, Li Muyan was holding the Yitian Sword, and Hu Wanlou was holding the Dragon Slaying Saber. After a violent collision, there was a sound, and the two weapons were separated from each other, and the two books fell from the hollow gap.
Li Muyan gave the Nine Yin Scriptures to Hu Wanlou, and took away Wu Mu's suicide note, left the courtyard of Hu Wanlou, and returned to the restaurant. At home, he can't have too much time to manage the business of the restaurant, so he can only hand over important affairs to the shopkeeper.
The things that should be done in Changting County should also be done, and he will have to go back with his parents and Ah Zi for two more days.He was a little reluctant, and cherished every minute before parting even more.
For the remaining two days, Li Muyan mostly stayed with his adoptive parents, or took Azi to the county town to play, and he did not forget to promise Fusheng, and bought some toffee and pastries for Fusheng by the way.
Afraid of causing trouble, Li Muyan has not contacted Hu Wanlou since he separated from him, nor has he seen him in Changting Court again, so he should have left.
The happy time is always short, and soon it will be time to leave. Although everyone is very reluctant, they can only leave at this point. Li Muyan promises that they will come back to see more. Even if he is not related to the Wang family, the truth is in the hearts of the people. .

6. Cousin
After solving all the matters in Changting County, Li Mu said goodbye to his adoptive parents and younger sister Ah Zi, and rode a steed to Pingcheng County.
There are many pedestrians along the way, most of them are passing businessmen.
Pingcheng and Changting are adjacent counties, which are located in the relatively flat terrain of Yongzhou.Yongzhou is located in the northwest, with complex terrain, including plains, mountains, and plateaus. It is an important military strategic place to resist foreign enemies, but it has always been a poor place.
Soon after the establishment of the Li Dynasty, with the defeat of the Mongolian Kingdom, Yongzhou's strategic importance was gradually reduced.
Mongolia was included in the territory of the Li Dynasty. After years of enlightenment, most people in Mongolia can speak the Central Plains dialect, and Yongzhou has also become a place for Han people to conduct business with other ethnic minorities. It has changed from a poor place in the past to a prosperous and prosperous place. place.
Sheepskins, horses, cattle and sheep, and dairy products on the prairie flowed continuously from Yongzhou to the Central Plains. Silk, porcelain, and grain from the Central Plains also spread from Yongzhou to the west. After traveling thousands of miles to Li Dynasty, it can be seen how high the gold content of Li Chaorong's richest man in Pingcheng County is.
At home, Li Muyan made some rest and planned to visit his parents, but before he arrived, he was told by his servants that his parents were waiting for guests in the front hall.
Who is the guest here?Li Muyan asked the servant beside him.
"Back to the eldest son, the person here is Qian Tongwen, the eldest son of my uncle's family in Yangzhou Mansion." The servant replied.
With confidence in his mind, Li Muyan was led by the servant to the front hall. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a young man sitting on a chair next to him, talking and laughing at his parents, calling aunt and uncle.
"Father and mother, Mu Yan is back." When everyone heard the voice and looked towards him, Li Muyan called out: "Father and mother."Seeing him coming, Father Li introduced to him, "This is Qian Tongwen, the eldest son of your uncle's family, who is two years older than you."
The young man hurriedly got up, "Is this Cousin Muyan? He is really a good-looking talent." Li Muyan saluted him, "I have met my cousin." Although Li Muyan knew some things about the Li family, he didn't know anything about his uncle's family.
The man in front of him was handsome, and his speech and behavior were natural and generous. He did not expect to be his cousin.
Qian Tongwen was exhausted all the way, and Li's father saw that he was not in good spirits, so he asked the servant to arrange for him to rest in the guest room.
Qian Tongwen has been weak since he was a child, and he has gotten better in recent years, but he was extremely tired from the exhaustion of the journey. He had talked with his uncle, aunt, and cousin who were supporting him, and fell asleep as soon as he returned to the guest room.
After Qian Tongwen left, Father Li told Mu Yan seriously the purpose of Qian Tongwen's coming to Li's house.
After Li Muyan's grandfather, Mr. Qian, retired, he lived with his son Qian Xiaohe, governor of Yangzhou. A few years ago, he suffered a stroke and was paralyzed in bed. In the past two years, he has improved a bit, and he can barely speak.
After Li Muyan recognized his ancestor and returned to his family, Li's father wrote a letter and told the Qian family about the matter. The old man was very excited when he heard this and shouted to see Mu Yan. Received Qianfu.
Grandpa wants to see him?Li Muyan was a little surprised, since Qian Tongwen was here, he must be going to Qian's mansion to lie down.After expressing to Li's father that he was willing to visit his grandfather, Li Muyan went back.
Li Muyan didn't know much about the foreigner's family, so he asked Yun'er, "Cousin Qian Tongwen came to the house today, I don't know much about his family, please tell me what you know."
Yun'er, who was cleaning the cupboard, stopped, and heard the young master asking about his uncle's house, so she walked up to him and told him what she knew.
According to Yun'er: Uncle Qian Xiaohe is a high-ranking official. He has two sons and two daughters under his knees. Both daughters are married. The eldest son, Qian Tongwen, is twenty years old. He is smart, studious, and gentle. .
The youngest son, Qian Tongwu, is sixteen years old, has a headstrong personality and likes to have fun. He used to like to come to Pingcheng to play, and the Li family servants avoided him.
The year before last, he came to Changting to visit Li's father and Li's mother, and took Fusheng out when he went out to play.
If it was just for fun, he actually took Fusheng to the brothel. Fortunately, there were acquaintances of Mr. Li's business in the brothel. He asked someone to report to the Li family and took Fusheng back. After that, the Li family didn't want to see money. Tongwu.
Li's mother was very angry when she heard about this, so she wrote a letter to explain the matter to her uncle, and the uncle reprimanded her youngest son before giving up. Later, Qian Tongwu seldom came to Li's house.
After learning a little bit about the situation of his uncle's house, Li Muyan remembered his promise to Fusheng, so he went to Fusheng's yard with big and small bags full of snacks.
As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, he heard noisy voices in the courtyard. When he entered the courtyard, he found Fusheng and a few servants yelling together. When he got closer, he found that they were fighting crickets.
Seeing that the eldest son was coming, the boys stopped and stood in a row to salute him. Fu Sheng next to him hesitated and called him "Brother". Li Muyan enjoyed this scene very much.
Asked the servants to clean up the crickets that were still biting on the ground, Li Muyan took Fusheng's hand into the room and sat down together. He handed some snack bags containing toffee, candied fruit and pastries to the maid beside him, and told her to eat them every day. Take some for Fusheng, don't eat too much.
Li Muyan opened the package of Yunpian Cake left behind, and fed it to Fu Sheng who was waiting anxiously.
Seeing Fusheng's puffed cheeks, with an expression of enjoyment on his face, he muttered, "It's delicious." Li Muyan, who has never liked sweets, tasted two pieces of Yunpian Cake for the first time.The taste is fragrant and soft, but the sweetness is still a bit high for him.
Looking at Fu Sheng, Li Muyan felt that if he hadn't been born stupid, he would be a handsome young man now.
The Li family raised Fusheng very well. Although he was stupid, he was very well-behaved, sensible and likable.
Raising such a child well shows how much effort it takes. No wonder the mother is weak, but maybe half of it is because of him, Li Muyan thought.
Seeing that Fusheng had finished eating the dim sum, Li Muyan took out a handkerchief and wiped the crumbs from his mouth. He talked to Fu Sheng again, asking him what he likes to eat and what to play, and made an appointment with him to go out with him next time before leaving. Fusheng's yard.
After that, Li Muyan never saw his cousin again. It was not until the next day when Li Muyan went out early in the morning that he met Qian Tongwen who had slept until this morning. The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Qian Tongwen Inviting him to go out to play together, Li Muyan was also idle, so he went out for a walk with this cousin.
Although Li Muyan comes to Pingcheng every year to worship his ancestors, he seldom visits here, and he is not very familiar with Pingcheng County.
Qian Tongwen has been here a few times, and every time he wanders around, he knows some places to go.
They came to a place called Yuanyang Lake. Although it was autumn and most of the lotus leaves had withered, there were still some lotus flowers blooming on the lake, presenting its unique beauty to people.
A few couples of mandarin ducks occasionally swam on the lake. The lake is clear, and the pavilion in the center of the lake and the distant mountains are reflected in the water. It looks special and it is indeed a good place.
With such a beautiful scenery, Li Muyan thought of a poem "Dongting Lake" written by Liu Yuxi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The night scene in the lake, but I can't think of other poems for the scene.
Qian Tongwen next to him was a real literati, and he didn't mock Li Muyan's poems, but only praised him. Li Muyan was a little ashamed, and he was really trying to show off his knowledge in front of an ancient literati.
Li Muyan and Qian Tongwen stepped into the pavilion in the center of the lake to watch the scenery, because they had already missed the best time to view the scenery, and the people they met along the way were not too many. There were already some people in the pavilion, including men, women, and old people. There are few, but it seems that a family comes to play.
Li Muyan chatted with the older man among these people. He said that he was a businessman from Lin County. He came to Pingcheng this time to buy some goods. Because the distance was very short, he took his family out to relax.
The old man had an extraordinary bearing, was well-informed, and knowledgeable, so the few people said a few more words.
Time passed quickly, and the sun was already setting in the west between talking and laughing, and Li Muyan and Qian Tongwen went back home.
On the way back, when he heard that Li Muyan was a martial artist, Qian Tongwen was a little envious, saying that he had been weak and sick since he was a child, and had never had the opportunity to learn martial arts.
The Li Dynasty has always attached equal importance to civil and military affairs, and the examination of all aspects of imperial examination candidates is quite strict, especially the six arts of gentlemen. The court believed that an official would not be able to undertake a lot of government affairs without a healthy body, so Qian Tongwen stopped at juren.
After years of recuperation, Qian Tongwen's health has improved, and he is not as prone to illness as before. A few years ago, when he came to Yuanyang Lake to play, he still sat in a sedan chair to go back and forth. Now walking is no longer a serious problem, only a little tired.
For the sake of his official career, the Qian family also asked Qian Tongwen to learn martial arts in the past two years. Since he had never learned martial arts, it was quite difficult for Qian Tongwen to learn martial arts, but now he can handle the imperial examination.
Li Dynasty set up Wenju and Wuju. It is better for literati to be proficient in the six arts, and students from poor families will also be taught in the academy. Warriors are required to be literate and hyphenated (proficient in military strategy is better), and they attach great importance to the overall quality of officials.
After talking about it like this, they returned to Li's house not long after, and it happened that the sky was dark, about two o'clock in the unitary hour.
The Li family held a dinner party to welcome Qian Tongwen. The whole family sat together and exchanged cups. It was very lively.
During this period, Li's father and Li's mother wanted to save money for a few more days. He thought that he was preparing for the imperial examination next year, and he had to go back early because he had a lot of business. He agreed to rest for another day, and then took Li Muyan to Yangzhou the day after tomorrow.
Seeing that he was so determined, Li's father and Li's mother gave up and asked him about the imperial examination. After the dinner was over, everyone went back to their residences.
Because Li Muyan was going to his uncle's house, he couldn't leave empty-handed. The next morning, the Li family went to buy some gifts for Muyan to take to Yangzhou for his uncle and grandpa.

7. Qian Fu
With his father's consent, Li Muyan and Qian Tongwen went to Yangzhou to visit their grandfather the next day.
As the carriage stopped and went, Qian Tongwen told him some of the rules of the Qian Mansion and some other things on the way, and also said that if he met Qian Tongwu in the mansion, if he was messed up, just ignore him.
Half a month later, I arrived at Yangzhou City. The city wall of Yangzhou City was more than ten feet high, majestic and majestic. There were some mighty guards standing on the city wall, which looked very solemn.
Today, Li Muyan is like a country bumpkin who entered the city for the first time. In his previous life, he had visited Yangzhou, but compared with the current Yangzhou City, his experience is naturally completely different. This city contains rich history and culture, no matter where it is In any era, people are obsessed with it.
After entering the city, Li Muyan didn't open the car curtain to look outside again. He planned to wait until the Qian Mansion, and it wouldn't be too late to come out to play after seeing his uncle and grandpa.
When he arrived at the Qian Mansion, Mu Yan first went to meet his uncle Qian Xiaohe. This is a majestic man with a white face, a half-length beard, and a tall and straight figure, somewhat resembling his mother. A handsome man whom women envy.
Seeing him saluting, Li Muyan yelled: Uncle, he stared at Muyan, his sharp eyes seemed to penetrate him, then he suddenly laughed again, saying that he is worthy of being his nephew, but his personality is like that of a young man. myself at the time.
Seeing his amiable face, Li Muyan relaxed, and Qian Xiaohe asked him about his previous life environment. Knowing that he had learned martial arts, he was very impressed, and wanted to make gestures with Mu Yan. In front of the class, he refused.
Having said that, Qian Xiaohe asked his son Tongwen to take Mu Yan to the guest room to rest first.
Qian Xiaohe was in charge of the military power in Yangzhou, and there were even some military guards in the mansion, he took Li Muyan to the guest room, Qian Tongwen explained some things to him, and left a handsome young man behind.
The boy's name is Qian Hu, he is thirteen or fourteen years old, Kai Ai's baby face is far from his domineering name, Li Muyan asked him some homework and fun places in Yangzhou City, and asked him to retreat, intending to take a rest.
Standing up, Li Muyan looked around the room,
Suddenly, I saw the bronze censer burning by the wall, and a cloud of smoke rose from the furnace. I was shocked when I heard it, and my body lightened. The fatigue disappeared in an instant. It turned out that the scent that I just smelled in the room came from here. Here, I don't know what kind of incense is burned, it is probably worth a lot.
Although the interior is gorgeous, it is not worth admiring. Thinking that there are a lot of things to do at night, Li Muyan lay on the bed in the inner room with his eyes closed.
About an hour later, Li Muyan was woken up by Qian Hu, saying that the old man wanted to see him after waking up, so after a little tidying up, Li Muyan followed Qian Hu to the old man's residence.
As soon as he entered the inner room, he saw a group of people standing beside the old man, including Qian Tongwen, a luxurious wife (probably Aunt Luo Shi), and several servants and maidservants.
Qian Tongwen introduced the wife next to Li Muyan, "This is my mother." Muyan saluted her and she just nodded silently.
Seeing Mu Yan coming, the old man waved his hands and called his name to let him come. Mu Yan called out to him: Grandpa.
Seeing the grandparents and grandchildren meeting each other, the lady pushed back some maids and servants, who chatted and laughed with the old man.
The old man is conscious, but he has some speech barriers, he can only nod his head, and occasionally spit out some words.
Li Muyan told him some interesting stories about his adoptive parents' house and the current situation of Li's house, and said that Fusheng missed him very much, and Qian Tongwen and Luo Shi who were beside him also talked to him, making the old man very happy.
Time passed quickly, when it was time for the old man to eat, the maid brought a bowl of bird's nest porridge, Luo Shi fed the porridge to the old man with his own hands, the old man lay down and fell asleep after eating, and everyone quietly retreated out.
At this time, the sky was dark, and a group of people went to the hall to have dinner. On the way, Qian Tongwen introduced the situation of the old man to Li Muyan: the old man is over seventy years old, and his body is getting weaker due to a stroke a few years ago. Words, but especially lethargy in recent months, the situation is not optimistic.
Li Muyan listened carefully to his words, and not long after, everyone came to the hall. In the hall, uncle Qian Xiaohe and cousin Qian Tongwu had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw their arrival, they announced the opening of the banquet.
But in the time for a cup of tea, the table is full of delicacies, and everyone is kind to Li Muyan, only Qian Tongwu is bearded and staring at him, as if he is still annoyed that the Li family treats him badly, under the pressure of Qian Xiaohe Only then did he forcefully call him cousin.
During the dinner, Qian Xiaohe asked Li Muyan about his martial arts skills, but Li Muyan only said that he had learned some boxing skills in the county town, and didn't mention anything about the stinky old man.
After drinking for three rounds, the banquet was over, and everyone returned to their residences.After Li Muyan washed up, he practiced Yin-Yang Jue for a while and rested. Since he practiced Yin-Yang Jue to the sixth floor, he has stopped here in the past two years, and he has not seen a breakthrough for a long time. care.
The next day, at dawn, Li Muyan got up and walked around the Qian Mansion. Some servants saw that although he did not know him, but saw that he was dressed luxuriously and had a delicate appearance, they guessed that he was the Young Master Biao who came yesterday, and they all saluted him. Li Muyan nod.
Walking to the west courtyard, Li Muyan didn't dare to approach it when he saw heavy soldiers guarding it. Although he wasn't close, he had all five senses and seemed to smell a strange smell.
Without thinking too much, he left here.After eating breakfast, Li Muyan planned to find his cousin Qian Tongwen, but was told by Qian Hu that he was preparing for the imperial examination and had no time to accompany him.That being the case, Li Muyan asked Qian Hu to take him out to play.
The most famous place in Yangzhou City is the brothel. Qian Hu followed Qian Tongwu for a period of time and often went in and out of these places with him. Naturally, he strongly recommended it to Li Muyan.
Li Muyan doesn't like to go to these places. He only goes back when he has to. It's not that he discriminates against these brothel women. One is because of his special body, and the other is that he thinks that brothels are just places for men to have fun. The gorgeous poems and essays come from the hands of romantic literati and poets who come and go to brothels and Chusi. They describe brothels as places full of talents and beauties, full of romance, so as to whitewash their decadent nature.
Compared with brothels, Li Muyan prefers to go to Yifang. There, men, women and children, are all proficient in various musical instruments, including playing, singing, acrobatics, singing and dancing. There are even barbarians and blond foreigners who come here. They are all here for these interesting programs.
There were few entertainment items in ancient times. Every time Li Muyan went to the art workshop, it was full of people and there were no empty seats.
After listening to a few pieces of music in Yangzhou's Yifang, Li Muyan took Qian Hu and left here.
The street is more lively than when we came here, with people coming and going, shouting and selling, one after another.
The shops and small stalls on the street warmly greeted the people passing by, and occasionally some people were attracted to stop and choose goods.
Some young women secretly looked at Li Muyan and whispered in low voices, but Li Muyan didn't pay much attention.
Not far away, with firecrackers and gongs and drums, it seems to be a newly opened restaurant.After walking all morning, although Li Muyan didn't feel tired, Qian Hu beside him seemed a little tired, so they went into this restaurant to rest for a while.
Li Muyan went up to the second floor, found a seat by the window and sat down, ordered a few signature dishes, ordered a jug of good wine, and asked Qian Hu to sit down and eat with him, the master and servant enjoyed the food quietly delicacies.
Not long after, more and more people came to the restaurant, and the tables around Li Muyan were full.
Almost full of wine and food, Li Muyan suddenly came next to the five men who seemed to be from the rivers and lakes, talking in a low voice about something, which seemed to be related to Hu Wanlou.
A man with a square face said to the others: "Have you heard? The Yitian Sword and the Dragon Saber were stolen from the palace by the strange thief Mu Feiyan."
