Chapter 23: Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng(1/2)
Li Shimin was very interested in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". When he saw that he was about to arrive in Mei County, he sent an order to speed up the march. He would go into the city in the evening to listen to the original version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and how charming it was to seduce the two boys.
The new magistrate of Mei County is also named Cui, and he just took office not long ago.
Only then did Wenyi know that after Cui Zhongting returned last time, the first thing he did was to dismiss Cui Deyou from his post and punish him to guard his ancestral graves. This has basically been the case for the rest of his life.
And because of various violations of regulations, Zhang Wai had his property confiscated and was exiled to Yumen Pass to count the sand. He will never come back in this life.
Magistrate Cui seemed to be a good person at first glance. He answered Li Shimin's various government affairs questions impeccably, which made Li Shimin very satisfied.
Before leaving, I just reported to Li Shimin that there were many knights in the county, and each of them claimed to be a hero. They helped old ladies cross the road, helped poor people find chickens and dogs, which greatly improved the security of the county.
Environment, no matter where something as big as a mung bean happens when a rogue takes an egg from a common person, countless heroes will instantly appear and beat him up before sending him to the county government, leaving only the sentence "I am such and such a hero, and I will see injustice on the road."
Draw your sword to help, capture one of the evil thieves and hand him over to the government."
Then he walked away.
I really don’t understand when the rangers started to maintain public order.
Li Shimin was also baffled, but he vaguely felt that it should be related to "The Condor Shooting".
He didn't say anything, just asked Magistrate Cui to govern the people well, and then led Wenyi, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin and a few guards to the miscellaneous house.
From a distance, I could see the hustle and bustle in the direction of the miscellaneous house, and it was very lively.
When you walk in and take a closer look, there are mostly tall men wearing patches and straight trousers. You can tell at a glance that most of them are brave and aggressive people, and there are also many young children running around.
Although it was chaotic, no one caused any trouble. Even if they were hit by those little kids, they would only get slapped twice on the buttocks.
Qin Wu and others felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, their hands were already touching the handles of their swords, ready to draw their swords to save the savior.
Li Shimin didn't care at all. Instead, he happily squeezed into the crowd, preparing to go inside to listen to King Kuaizui's lecture.
I don't know who shouted: "King Kuaizui is giving a lecture! Brothers, hurry in!"
The crowd of rangers and little kids all rushed in.
When had Li Shimin seen such a scene?
As soon as he stepped into the doorway, he was pushed out by the crowd and could only stare at the doorway in a daze.
Qin Wu and the others were also frightened. The scene was too terrifying. When could a storyteller be so charming?
It can actually attract so many people to come and listen to the book.
Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said: "Xiao Yi, there are so many people, what should we do?"
Wenyi thought for a while and smiled strangely, then shouted loudly: "Jianghu Baixiao is born here, why don't you heroes get out of the way quickly?"
All the rangers were stunned and turned to look at them, wondering what Wenyi meant.
Wen Yi took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "Heroes are invited, my son is the famous 'Bai Xiaosheng' in the world, and he came here specifically to make the 'ranking list of masters in the world'.
All the heroes, why don’t you let my young master come in for a detailed discussion?”
Li Shimin is a little confused about "Bai Xiaosheng"?
When did I become a "Bai Xiaosheng"? Let's see what the literary guy has his ideas first. It sounds quite interesting.
All the rangers were also stunned. At this time, someone said: "I wonder what you mean by this?"
Wenyi said: "The Jianghu Masters Ranking, as the name suggests, is a Jianghu ranking made specifically for heroes. Whether a hero is a hero or not is not something to boast about. It must be recognized by everyone.
As long as you, brothers, tell us about your heroic deeds and acts of justice for the country and the people, we will put you on the list.
Of course, as a hero, your martial arts skills cannot be too low.
Let’s go in and talk about the specific details.”
Everyone was overjoyed. Wouldn't this give him a chance to become famous?
They all made way for Li Shimin to come in.
Li Shimin pretended to have a friendly smile and walked in calmly.
As soon as I entered, I saw a table set up in the middle of the hall, and an energetic old man was standing behind the table. He was overjoyed to see Wenyi come in, so he wanted to go forward and salute.
Wenyi quickly stopped him and said: "This is Mr. Wang who is known as the 'King of Wonderful Mouth and Quick Talk' in the world?
Today my young master would like to use your place to discuss some matters, please bear with me."
Although Old Man Wang felt confused, he was also a very thoughtful person. He nodded quickly and said: "It's okay, please come in, Master. I'll talk about it later."
Wenyi nodded and invited Li Shimin to come to the center of the field.
Qin Wu moved a chair, and Li Shimin bowed his hands and took his seat calmly.
Seeing that the knights had settled down, Wenyi said, "Fellow heroes, are you all here to listen to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?"
Everyone nodded in unison, and Wenyi continued: "Hero, what is a hero?
He was so angry that he leaned against the railing, and the misty rain stopped.
He raised his eyes, looked up to the sky and roared loudly, with strong feelings.
Thirty years of fame and dust, eight thousand miles of clouds and moon.
Don't wait any longer. The young man's head will turn gray and he will be filled with sorrow.
When will the hatred of the ministers be destroyed?
Driving a long car, crossing the gap in Helan Mountain.
The ambition is to eat the meat of Huns when hungry, and to drink the blood of Huns when they are thirsty.
Let's start from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky.
This person is a hero, not a thieves who robs homes and blocks the roads.
Today, my son is known as "Jianghu Baixiaosheng" and I would like to set up two lists for all heroes to help you become famous and famous in history.
The first is that the 'ranking list of martial arts masters' is mainly based on martial arts, regardless of origin, whether it is a bandit, a green forest, or an upright person, it only talks about martial arts and nothing else.
The second is the 'Ranking of Heroes of the Jianghu'. This ranking does not look at the level of martial arts, but only looks at whether the person has performed chivalrous acts of justice and defended the family and the country. The more meritorious the person is, the higher he will be ranked.
And those who do evil will not be included in the list.
Therefore, a hero must not only have strong martial arts skills but also have a heart that cares for the common people in the world.
If you can be on two lists in a row, then you are a real hero!"
Everyone's blood was boiling and they were talking a lot. At this time, someone shouted: "I wonder what ability you have to know what we are doing?
How do you evaluate who can make the list?"
Wenyi smiled and said: "It's easy to rank the masters of the world. Every three years we hold a martial arts competition on the top of Mount Huashan, called the 'Huashan Sword Contest' to determine the ranking.
The ranking list of Jianghu heroes is simpler, but any great event will be spread all over the world. For example, King Qin Li Shimin defeated Wang Shichong's army of 200,000 with 5,000 people, saving the people near Jade City from the suffering of swordsmanship. Here is the example of the heroes,
So currently Qin King Li Shimin is number one on the heroes list! I wonder if you heroes have any objections?"
Li Shimin's face turned red when he heard Wenyi boasting about his arrogance. Fortunately, he had been fighting all year round and his skin was slightly dark and the light in the hall was not very bright.
The rangers below were excited, and from time to time they said: "The King of Qin is indeed the number one. Five thousand infantry dare to defeat Wang Shichang's 200,000 elite soldiers. I admire you!"
"If I had been there at that time, I would have been scared to death. King Qin is really powerful!"
...Wenyi waited for a while and then waved his hands to keep everyone quiet. When everyone stopped making any noise, Wenyi said: "We are here mainly to ask all the heroes to spread a message to the Jianghu: On the night of the full moon, on the top of Mount Huashan
, No. 1 in the world, who else could I be?
Jianghu Baixiaosheng will be waiting for all heroes to come and discuss swords at the top of Huashan Mountain on the night of the full moon next year!"
Everyone was even more excited, and they all said that they would spread this message all over the world, and they would go and have a look when the time came! Seeing that the literary and artistic effect had been achieved, they bowed their hands to the Kuaizui King and said that it was his turn to speak.
He and Li Shimin came to the audience together, and all the men quickly gave up a tea table to them. They bowed their hands to greet them and announced their family status, hoping that Bai Xiaosheng could put him in the ranking list.
After being busy for another half an hour, King Kuaizui patted Xingmu and said: "Last time, Hong Qigong ate Huang Rong's chicken, and then he passed on one of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, 'Exalted Dragon Has Regret'"
Guo Jing, today we will continue to talk about 'Chapter 13 of the Five Lakes Wasted People'..." The hall was silent for a moment, and you could hear a needle drop.
Everyone hurriedly kept silent and listened intently to Kuaisui Wang's story.
Li Shimin also listened with great interest, so he just followed the others.
When Kuaizui Wang picked up Xingmu again, he patted it and said, "If you want to know what happened next time, let's listen to the explanation next time!"
After saying that, he bowed his hands to everyone.
The heroes immediately began to curse, saying that they stopped talking when they got to the key point. They were so shameless and shameless! Although they cursed, they all took some coins from their arms and threw them at the King of Kuaisui, who was very angry.
The old man said hello on his face.
Old Man Wang had long been accustomed to it and was not angry. He held the grapefruit in one fell swoop and protected his head and face.
Provoked another round of yelling.
Li Shimin's appetite was also whetted, and now he felt like a hundred claws scratching his heart. He took out a handful of silver leaves from his arms and said to Old Man Wang: "Kuaizui Wang, I know that you only speak one chapter a day, but I can't stay here any longer.
I hope you’ll be kind enough to tell me another chapter.”
After saying that, he threw the silver leaf towards Old Man Wang.
Old Man Wang was just trying to see who asked him to speak another chapter. As soon as he put down his sleeves, he was hit all over his face by silver leaves.
To be continued...
