Taiping Inn

Chapter 32 Young Man in the Jianghu

Li Xuandu escorted Pei Zhou and his group to Lanling Mansion. Along the way, in addition to chatting with the old man about the general trend of the world, he was often entangled by the little guy named Pei Yu.

Although Pei Yu was born into a scholarly family like the Pei family, because his parents died early, Pei Zhou, as his grandfather, was busy with official business in the yamen, and it was inevitable that he was negligent in discipline, which made him not devote his attention to the saint's books. In the novels of the world, I especially yearn for the heroes of the world.

This time Li Xuan took action to repel Qingluanwei. In the eyes of the little guy, he was undoubtedly a knight in the world who was a hero who was a hero and punished the court's hawks and dogs. He completely forgot that he was also a child of the court's official family and respected Li Xuan so much that he always wanted to I wanted Li Xuandu to teach him a move and even moved his mind to follow Li Xuandu to walk around the world.

The old Jianghu's eyes are full of desire, pursuing fame and fortune, wanting invincible magical skills, wanting magical weapons, wanting fame in one battle, and wanting money and beauty. On the contrary, the children's world is more pure. Their eyes are full of hope, yearning for chivalrous justice, longing for coming and going like the wind, yearning for standing up for injustice, and yearning for an equally pure confidante.

Li Xuan likes the world of young people and young people very much. It is like a stream with clear water and you can clearly see the smooth pebbles at the bottom of the stream. Li Xuan didn't like the old rivers and lakes very much. It was like a big river, with turbid water and mud and sand, or like a big lake, with green waters and nowhere to be seen at first glance.

On this day, the convoy arrived at the pass at the junction of Lanling Prefecture and Pingyuan Prefecture. This place is called Linzao Pass. It is built on the mountain. It is located at the key point of the two prefectures. Although it is now in war, there are still many merchants who have traveled. Compared with the usual years, there is a lot of more solemn and murderous spirit.

There is a Taiping Inn opened by Taiping Sect in the city, but there is no Taiping Money House. Generally speaking, Taiping Money House is only available in the prosperous city and the prefecture city, but Taiping Inn is different. Since the Taiping Sect closed the mountain, Taiping Inn seems to be blooming everywhere in Luzhou and Qizhou, but according to the location The situation is different. Some inns have masters from Taiping Sect personally in charge, while others are just ordinary Taiping Sect disciples are responsible for the management.

When Li Xuan was walking around the world, he had never heard of the name of Taiping Inn, so he was sure that Taiping Inn was founded after Taiping Sect closed the mountains and closed the temple. As for what is the profound meaning of Taiping Sect's move, Not even Li Xuan can know.

Now it seems that Taiping Inn has a good reputation. Even an official figure like Pei Zhou is willing to settle here. Although Li Xuandu’s impression of Taiping Inn is really not good, it is not easy to force it. Can follow the customs of the countryside.

Just as soon as she settled down, Pei Yu ran to Li Xuandu's room, holding a string of candied haws he bought when he entered the city, red fruits, slightly yellowed rock candy, sweet and sour, and is the favorite of children. Snacks and eat.

Over the past few days, the two of them have become familiar with each other and there is nothing to be polite. Pei Yu held the candied haws in his hand to Li Xuandu's eyes and said proudly: "Brother Li, I will use this string of candied haws to exchange for your moves, Is it OK? ”

Li Xuandu deliberately looked stern and joked: "If you want to learn from a string of candied haws? Then you look down on Li too much. At least ten strings of candied haws."

Pei Yu frowned and said, "But I only have a bunch of candied haws left."

Li Xuandu raised his eyebrows: "Goddess of the Pei family, just this is the case? When I was at your age, I had this number of cases of silver every month."

After saying that, Li Xuan stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Pei Yu.

Pei Yu asked tentatively, "One tael of silver?"

Li Xuandu shook his head and said, "No."

"Ten taels of silver?"

"Presuming it out."

"It won't be a hundred taels of silver?"

"The number of one hundred is right, but it's not silver, but peace."

Pei Yu widened his eyes: "One hundred... Taiping money?"

As a child of an official, Pei Yu certainly knows what Taiping money is. The official price of Taiping Money House is that one Taiping money can be exchanged for thirty taels of silver, but it can be exchanged for silver for Taiping money, but it costs about thirty taels of thirty taels of silver. , Taiping Money House, which is responsible for casting Taiping Money, can make a full price difference.

Even if it is calculated based on thirty taels of silver, one hundred Taiping coins is still 3,000 taels of silver, which is 36,000 taels of silver a year! According to regulations, a prince of the Great Wei Dynasty offered 50,000 stones of rice, 25,000 stalks of banknotes, forty pieces of brocade, 300 pieces of silk, 500 pieces of silk, 1,000 pieces of gauze, 1,000 pieces of winter cloth, and 1,000 pieces of summer cloth. match. After careful calculation, a prince’s annual salary is nothing more than that.

Although Pei Yu didn't like studying very much, she was born in a family of officials and was influenced by her knowledge and knew a little about these things. She couldn't help but say, "Brother Li, tell the truth, are you not your surname Li?"

Li Xuan was stunned and asked, "What do you say?"

Pei Yu said in a deep voice: "Actually, I should call you Brother Qian, the Qian family in Jinling, Jiangnan, right?"

Li Xuan laughed silently and pretended to be angry, "Your words are unreasonable. Only the Qian family can be rich? Can't our Li family have money?"

Pei Yu shrank his neck: "I didn't say that."

Li Xuandu sighed, "But that's all the past, there is no such good thing now. I'm just as poor as you, and I'm empty-handed."

Pei Yu sighed angrily and asked, "By the way, Brother Li, do you have weapons?"

As he said that Pei Yu also learned the "Night Battle of Eight Directions' hidden sword style" from somewhere, and said famously: "For example, a sword or a sword, even if there is no sword, hidden weapons and flying swords are fine. If you walk around the world, you must not let it go. Bring weapons to defend yourself.”

Li Xuandu said, "That's really a coincidence. I practice boxing and foot skills, and my hands are two doors, and I rely on my feet to hit people."

Pei Yu curled his lips: "Lie."

Young people do not know how to hide their emotions, nor do they understand the word "climbly", so they cannot hide their disappointment.

Li Xuan smiled and took out the "cold beauty" that had not been used for many days from the "Eighteenth Floor".

As its name suggests, the "Cold Beauty" knife is only of a low-quality appearance among treasures, but it looks very good. The snow-white blade body seems to be made of ice and snow. Just to behave in terms of appearance, the "Cold Beauty" is more than the "world in the world". “It’s too much higher.

Li Xuandu took the candied haws and nailed them to the table, and then threw the "cold beauty" with the scabbard to Pei Yu.

This knife looked very light in Li Xuandu's hands, but it was actually very important. Pei Yu, a scholar who had no power to tie the chicken, had to catch it with both hands, and his eyes were filled with joy and joy that could not be covered.

Then Pei Yu tried to draw his sword, but unfortunately he couldn't pull it out after several strokes.

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "I can't even pull out the knife and want to walk around the world. If it is heard, I will be laughed at."

The boy's face turned red.

Li Xuan stretched out his hand.

Pei Yu was a little reluctant to hand over the "cold beauty" to Li Xuandu's hands.

Li Xuandu held the handle of the knife with his right hand, pressed the scabbard with his left hand, and gently pulled it out, and the knife was three inches away, and the room was shining brightly.

Pei Yu stared at the knife with wide eyes.

Since he was a child, he had seen many swords, but unfortunately they were all swords used by literati. They were just decorations and could not be used to kill enemies. They would never be sheathed once in a few years, and some swords had never been cut. But this was the first time he saw the real killing sword. Just when he saw the three-foot blade, he felt a faint chill, and even smelled the smell of blood, as if he had heard the killing of the soldiers. The sound of silence.

Li Xuandu continued to draw the knife, pulling the entire blade out of the scabbard, put the scabbard aside, and then tapped it with one finger on the blade, like a stone throwing into the calm lake, and the cold light of the blade rippled. Layer ripples and sparkling waves.

Li Xuan kept the "cold beauty" and handed the handle to Pei Yu.

Pei Yu held the hilt of the knife in both hands and raised it shakingly, with a look of unconcealable surprise on his face.

Li Xuandu sighed lightly: "The country's family has not yet died, and the precious sword in the sheath is roaring from time to time."

Why do we need to list "Sword Review" specifically in the world? Because in many cases, one sword and one sword will overturn the world.

Pei Yu tried his best to hold up the "cold beauty" and fantasizes that he is already a peerless swordsman.

Li Xuandu pulled out the candied haws nailed to the table, bite off a hawthorn, chewed it carefully, and made a crackling sound.

The world in the hearts of young people is like this string of candied haws. When I grew up, the world was still the same, and the candied haws were still the same string of candied haws, but they no longer had the original taste.

Li Xuan raised the candied haws.

I want to buy osmanthus with osmanthus, and in the end, it is not like a youth.
