The old man carrying the bench was Cha Kui, the owner of the mutton shop. He was tall and strong, with a bit of courage. When he was young, he had a reputation and was called Kui Hu.Originally, Zha Kui was cutting meat in the kitchen, but when he heard the waiters shouting urgently about eating free food and not giving money, he held up an extremely sharp meat cleaver and wanted to chase him out.Dazed, he was stopped by the old woman and asked him to put down the knife. It is a virtue for a man to be afraid of his wife. Cha Kui put down the meat knife, picked up the bench in the shop and chased him out, blocking three soldiers on the road.

Zha Kui was a well-known figure on this street. People saw him stopping a group of soldiers, yelling loudly, calling for friends, and gathered to watch.The three soldiers were wearing dirty armor, unkempt, and their faces were flushed from eating wine. They drew their knives, shaking them, and swearing constantly.

The onlookers watched them fight, booing and shouting loudly, so more people gathered.

Zha Kui blocked the knife from the soldier with a bench, kicked the drunk soldier over, and cursed: "Don't ask, I'm Kuihu's land, even you few monkeys dare to come here!" Madness!"

Zha Kui swung a bench and smashed at another soldier who was attacking him, knocking him to the ground. The number of soldiers with combat effectiveness was reduced by one, and the crowd cheered.

There are many local troops stationed there, and many stores have been harassed by soldiers, and most of them dare not speak out.

Seeing that their companion was knocked down, the other two soldiers were mostly sober. They looked at each other and hugged Zha Kui in two arms. State, was beaten back again and again.

The crowd just panicked, but no one helped.

Seeing that old man Cha's bench was cut into three by soldiers, and if there was nothing to cover him, he would be cut by a knife. A boy with a golden knife jumped out of nowhere, rescued old man Cha, and entangled with those two soldiers. fight.

The young man was very skilled, he knocked out the knife in the hand of one of the soldiers, swung his arm and slammed the opponent's face, the soldier covered his face and screamed, bleeding from his mouth.

The soldiers were reduced by two, and the crowd cheered and shouted endlessly.

The last soldier was skinny and skinny. Seeing his two companions fell down, he immediately used a set of saber techniques indiscriminately. The knife was across his neck.

The crowd roared with laughter, cheered in unison, and surrounded the Golden Sword Boy with enthusiasm.

In fact, if you look carefully, you will find that the golden knife boy did not appear alone, he also had two partners, but when he was fighting, his partners all stood aside to watch because they didn't know martial arts.

Zhao Yousheng and his friends went downstairs, and when they went to check, they saw the old man Cha was besieged by two soldiers, the golden knife boy jumped out and rescued the old man Cha.They came late, were blocked by the crowd, and were far away from each other. When they squeezed into the crowd, the golden knife boy had "solved" a soldier, and the crowd cheered loudly.

Zhao Zhuangdie was short, and tried to dance in the crowd, wanting to see the bravery, and finally taught him to see, he turned around and shouted happily: "Look, it's Zheng Yuanya!"

Zhao Yousheng recognized Zheng Yuanya a long time ago. Although he had the impression of Zheng Yuanya as a bearded man—in his last life, Yousheng only saw Zheng Yuanya when he was 20 years old, but he still recognized him at this moment.

There are not many people who look so mean-spirited and love to fight against injustices.

Zhao Yousheng was amazed by Zheng Yuanya's proficiency in using a knife, his skills were as good as juggling, although the soldiers were drunk and their fighting power weakened, even if they were sober, they would definitely not be Zheng Yuanya's opponent.

Although he was surprised by Zheng Yuanya's superb martial arts skills, Zhao Yousheng's eyes did not fall on the other party. What he focused on was the pale figure behind Zheng Yuanya——Chen Yu.

Chen Yu focused his attention on Zheng Yuanya, and didn't notice that Zhao Yousheng was also around. He looked at Zheng Yuanya's expression and showed admiration, just like the surrounding crowd.

In addition to this admiration, there is also joy, which is the joy only for relatives and friends, mixed with intimacy and pride.

Zhao Yousheng's eyes followed Chen Yu's movement, and saw that he was wearing a plain cloak with a crimson brocade robe inside, and a red beard on his head. When he walked, the loose robe and light beard fluttered , it can be said that if you look at him seriously, it will be difficult to look away.

The cloak covered the sachet on his waist, but Zhao Yousheng could imagine the fragrance on his body, he was no stranger to it.

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, and Zhao Youcheng turned his gaze back, and saw Zheng Yuanya stepping on the soldier ruffian, with a golden knife resting on the opponent's neck.

He reprimanded the three soldiers in a majestic manner, and told the three soldiers to quickly pay the old man for the drink and leave immediately.

The three soldiers thought it was hard to come by, so they got up, dejected, and chatted together.One of the older soldiers untied his purse, reluctantly threw a string of money to Zheng Yuanya, and said to him meaningfully: "Your Majesty, do you know which officials my three brothers are working under? ?”

Zheng Yuanya caught the money, weighed his hands, and smiled so much that his teeth showed: "Oh, isn't it Luchang General Fan Wei's soldiers, who bully the people in the east of the city all day long, domineering, who else can it be."

The three soldiers were either stunned or glared at each other.

Not caring about their reaction at all, Zheng Yuanya stuffed the money into the hands of the old man Zha, and said to the three soldiers: "I'll teach you to know, my name is Zheng Yuanya, and I live in the east port of the city."

He carried the golden knife on his shoulder, and he had an unruly smile on his face, but in fact it was a smile that deserved to be beaten. In the eyes of the melon-eaters, his whole body was shining.

Zhao Zhuangdie cheered excitedly along with the crowd, and he really admired him in his heart. Zhao Duanhe frowned when he saw Zheng Yuanya reporting himself as his family, thinking that this person was too crazy, and sooner or later he would be plotted for revenge.Zhao Yousheng saw Chen Yu smiling and walking to Zheng Yuanya's side, the two were talking about something, they were very friendly.

"How about we invite Yishi Zheng to have a drink together?" Zhao Zhuangdie once again had the idea of ​​asking the pirate's son to drink, and even called him a "righteous man".

"I'm afraid it's too late." Zhao Duanhe pointed forward.

The old man Zha was holding Zheng Yuanya's arm, and invited him to his shop, very enthusiastically, wanting to repay the savior.

Even so, Zhao Zhuangdie stepped forward and invited Zheng Yuanya to have a drink at Chunfenglou. Zheng Yuanya was quite surprised and sized him up.He recognized this person as the eldest son who greeted Chen Yu in Dongshuihao. Seeing the three of them together, Zheng Yuanya looked at the three of them together, especially Zhao Youcheng who was standing in the middle.

It's also interesting, he didn't know Zhao Yousheng at first, but Xiaoyu told him a lot about this person, his appearance seemed to be distinctive because of this, when he saw him, Zheng Yuanya immediately guessed who he was.

Besides, ever since the three of them appeared, Xiao Yu has been smiling and looking at the eldest son who is the most handsome among them.

Zheng Yuanya pushed Chen Yu forward, and said: "Let Xiao Yu accompany you to drink, I have another entertainment with Shi'an."

Regardless of Li Shi'an's unwillingness, Zheng Yuanya dragged him along and entered Old Man Zha's mutton shop.

Zheng Yuanya grew up on a sea ship, and he didn't like to pay respects, so he must have refused so simply because he was afraid of dealing with troubles for his eldest son.Besides, he is also a sophisticated person, so how could he not know that he was born as a Hai family Kou, and drinking with the eldest son is a bit absurd.

Although rejected by Zheng Yuanya, Zhao Zhuangdie was still very happy to see Chen Yu return to the team, hugged Chen Yu, talked excitedly all the way, asked him about Zheng Yuanya, and praised him as a knight only in ancient times.

The four returned to the Spring Breeze Tea House, Zhao Duanhe and Zhao Yousheng walked behind, Zhao Duanhe said: "It's good to be a chivalrous man, but it would be troublesome if an enemy like Fan Wei came to find him."

Zhao Zhuangdie said: "Since Zheng Yishi dared to declare his family name, he must not be afraid of Fan Wei, isn't he just a small salt farm general?"

Zhao Duanhe shook his head, took a step forward, and said to his naive old friend: "It depends on who is helping to look after the saltworks, Zhuang Die, power does not lie in the size of the official position..."

Chen Yu was crossed by Duanhe and "robbed" Zhuang Die who was talking to him, so he naturally walked with Zhao Yousheng.He was beside You Sheng, and he was happy in his heart. He was full of joy when he ran into them again. It had been a long time since the four of them had gathered together.

Zhao Yousheng asked: "Xiao Yu, did that car hit you just now?"

What happened on the bridge, it turned out that Ah Leftover had seen it.

"It didn't hit me, luckily Yuan Ya gave me a hand."

Zhao Yousheng did see it, and he could see it clearly.

Chen Yu on the bridge was far away, blocked by the dense crowd, but at this moment, Chen Yu beside him was within reach.

The four of them came to the Chunfeng Building slowly, climbed the stairs, and talked in pairs, still having the intimate atmosphere of when they were together in the past.

When they came to the private room, the four of them sat down, and the doctor of wine measurement wanted to pour wine for Chen Yu. Zhao Yousheng blocked his hand and asked Chen Yu if he was used to Liuxia wine. Even if he only drank one glass, even people who are not good at drinking can drink it drunk.

"I want to drink the same wine as you." Chen Yu replied with a smile.

Zhuang Die is not very old, and he is not drinking Liuxia wine, Chen Yu thinks that he will be fine if he drinks some.

"That's right, don't be afraid of getting drunk. When you're drunk, Ah Left will carry you back."

Zhao Zhuangdie encouraged him and motioned to Dr. Liquor to pour the wine quickly. Zhao Duanhe glanced at Zhao Youcheng, his small eyes seemed to be teasing.

The four chatted and drank, Zhao Duanhe and Zhao Zhuangdie were still talking about Lutan General Fan Wei, this person had a lot to talk about, and the salt farm he was looking at was still the salt farm of Uncle Zhao Jidao's family.

It is said that the salt farms are owned by the government or the local garrison, but if they have power in their hands and have the status of the eldest son, they can be invaded.

Zhao Yousheng didn't participate in their topic anymore, he didn't seem interested, he was talking with Chen Yu, talking about daily trivial matters, such as what texts Mr. Wu taught at home recently, what stories he heard in Zhuzi Tea House and so on.

"Ah Leftover, it's all about me, what about you?"

"I'm still the same, just studying." Zhao Yousheng said lightly.

Chen Yu was slightly drunk, holding one cheek, and smiled lightly: "Will Ah Left be like his grandfather in the future, serving as the promotion officer of the Municipal Bureau?" He was happy with his imagination, describing: "If Ah Left was appointed The ship secretary mentioned that I will go to the ship dispatch banquet every year, and I will have my own ship in the future."

He lowered his head and took a sip of the wine, the wine in the glass was more than half full, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile, which was very pretty.

Zhao Yousheng looked at Chen Yu's smiling face, and joked: "Then, I'll stamp you with several Water Guangong certificates, and you can take the contraband to sea as you like."

Zhao Duanhe was drinking, and he almost choked when he heard this. Zhao Zhuangdie smiled happily, obviously a little drunk, he grabbed Chen Yu's shoulder, and asked happily: "Xiao Yu, what about me?"

Chen Yu said: "Zhuang Die, it seems that he doesn't like being an official."

Zhao Zhuangdie nodded, he was not good at studying, and he couldn't pass the imperial examination, but he could become a small official with the legacy of his ancestors, such as being the head of a small county, county magistrate, etc., but he was not interested in it.

"Then Zhuang Die will be a happy person listening to music and drinking tea from now on."

"Cheng Xiaoyu Jikou!" Zhuang Die liked it very much, and said, "I also want to open a small tea shop, and I will ask the storyteller to tell the stories I like to hear." Zhao Zhuangdie has nothing to pursue anyway, as long as he lives comfortably, Seeing that Zhao Duanhe frowned, he said: "You don't charge for tea, but if Duanhe comes, you will be charged double!"

"Why, I have to charge double instead?"

"You definitely don't want me to have nothing to do. You want to talk about me for several years. Besides, by then, you will either be a judge or a magistrate. Your salary is generous, so of course you need to add more money."

Zhao Duanhe shook his head, he had nothing to do with this best friend, he continued to drink, and thought in his heart, if this is the case, it's not bad, he wants to be an official and wants to make a difference.Zhuang Die has different interests, as long as he is happy, why force him to be a small official in a busy place.

The sun was shining outside the window and the street was bustling with people, but Zhao Yousheng's heart was very calm. He poured wine for himself and drank several glasses in a row. He listened to his friends' expectations for the future and knew the ending of his friends in the previous life, but he didn't know what to do in his heart. What do you think.

Chen Yu was really drunk. He was young and couldn't hold enough alcohol. He lay on the table and fell asleep very quickly.

When leaving the restaurant, Zhao Yousheng pulled Chen Yu up, his body was limp, and he looked like he had slept soundly.Unable to wake Chen Yu up, Zhao Yousheng carried Chen Yu on his shoulders with the help of Zhuang Die and Duanhe.

It was the first time for him to carry Chen Yu on his back, and he didn't feel that the person on his back was heavy, but he carried his weight in his heart.

"Ah Sheng, you drink so much wine, don't throw Xiao Yu down." Zhao Zhuangdie was a little worried.

"I don't think You Sheng is drunk, nothing has happened." Zhao Duanhe could tell that You Sheng had practiced drinking secretly without knowing when.

The four of them went down the stairs, Zhao Yousheng carried the person on his back and walked slowly in front, Zhao Zhuangdie was behind, and stretched out his hand to support Chen Yu, lest he would fall from Yousheng's back due to sleepiness.

Looking at the handsome young man lying on his old friend's shoulder, Zhao Duanhe felt complicated.

Dong Wan came with bearers and waited downstairs, dumbfounded to see Zhao Youcheng coming out with Chen Yu on his back.Zhao Yousheng carefully put Chen Yu into the car, and pulled the quilt to cover him.Chen Yu was lying in the car, sleeping peacefully, and seemed to be sleeping comfortably.

Zhao Youcheng put down the sedan chair curtain and told the bearer: "Go back and move gently, don't wake him up."

Zhao Duanhe could see clearly that the bearer got up the sedan chair, and Zhao Youcheng made a move to help the sedan chair, and once again told the bearer to lift it lightly, so as not to wake people up.Drunk and shaken, waking up can be very uncomfortable.

As the sedan chair moved away and disappeared into the crowd, Zhao Duanhe said, "You Sheng, I always feel that you..."

As cautious as he was, he thought over and over again, but finally did not continue.

The author has something to say: Zhao Duanhe: I have a bad feeling.
