6. Arriving at Xiangyang City for the first time

() ps: It’s a strong recommendation, you have to update it twice to show your performance. Hey, dear friends, please collect more..

Early the next morning, together with Liu Meng, a total of four people, three men and one woman, an ordinary-looking two-wheel carriage and four Mongolian war horses brought from the grassland, left Qinghe Fort and set off on their way back along the path to the south.

This journey was particularly dull. Wu Dong was swaying from side to side on horseback, as if he was taking a nap; Ding Qi was silent, as if he was still immersed in the grief of Luo Huchen's death. He only chatted with Liu Meng for a while when he checked into the hotel.

sentence; as for Junior Sister Li who was huddled in the carriage - well, according to ranking, Ding Qi and Wu Dong had to call her Fourth Senior Sister. This Senior Sister Li would only come out when eating, and by the way, she would feel Ding Qi's pulse and help Liu

Meng looked at his arms.

Liu Meng could also see that the group was obviously dominated by Senior Sister Li Si. Ding Qi and Wu Dong both respected her and obeyed her. For example, when passing through Datong, they met a group of Han army soldiers Ding Shekalin

They insisted on letting Senior Sister Li get out of the car for inspection. Ding Qi and Wu Dong were already preparing to kill the small group of soldiers, but Senior Sister Li stopped the conflict, got out of the car and stuffed a large ingot of silver to the leading officer, and then

Take off the gauze and show it to the officer.

Even Liu Meng felt suffocated to deal with a small group of Han troops in such a low voice. However, Ding and Wu, who were furious at first, lost their anger after Senior Sister Li decided to get off the bus. They waited until they were approaching Xiangyang City.

During the meal, he accidentally mentioned this matter. Ding Qi was sure that the officer was already past his seventh birthday at this time. Only then did Liu Meng realize that the Han army officer had been given Changchang Powder by Senior Sister Li with the help of a silver ingot.

Seeing the dumbfounded Liu Meng, Ding Qi proudly introduced: "Fourth Sister is not only superb in medical skills, but her method of using poison is also superb. You must be careful not to make Fourth Sister unhappy, otherwise you will not know what to do."

I thought I'd give you some 'cat-scratching' to make you drunk for ten days, but it would be very miserable."

As soon as he said this, Wu Dong seemed to feel the same, and his face suddenly twitched. He had been lazily dozing there, but he sat upright, picked up the bowl and took a big mouthful of rice, and invited Liu Meng and Ding Qi to eat more.

.

Ding Qi said this when he saw that Senior Sister Li was not around, but he didn't expect that when the door curtain was lifted, a soft and clear voice said: "Xiao Ding, am I so narrow-minded?" A faint fragrant wind drifted in, and the light green figure left.

Coming in, reflecting the sunset outside the window, her dark eyebrows are like a painting, her eyes are like condensed waves, her skin is frosty and proud of snow, and the corners of her mouth are slightly upturned, just like a child who is proud of catching someone else doing bad things.

"Ah" whispered, Liu Meng stared at the boss, his eyes almost ran out, and said in surprise: "You, are you the fourth senior sister?" Such a stunningly beautiful appearance, but she is covered with a layer of light every day.

Although Liu Meng guessed that the other party was a beauty, Liu Meng never expected that she would be so beautiful.

"Hey, hey!" Wu Dong stretched out his hand and pulled Liu Meng's skirt, and said with a bad smile: "What? Do you feel like you are seeing a fairy in the sky?" Seeing Liu Meng blushing with embarrassment, Wu Dong said with a smile:

"Don't be embarrassed, when Brother Xiao Ding and I first met Fourth Sister, we were both shocked!"

"Yes... she is so beautiful." Liu Meng smiled sheepishly, and then asked doubtfully: "You two have just met Fourth Sister?"

Senior Sister Li snorted and interrupted: "Xiao Liu, don't listen to their nonsense. My last name is Li and my last name is Wanlan. You can call me Miss Li or Miss Li. Of course, you can also call me Fourth Sister along with Xiao Ding." Without waiting.

Liu Meng hesitated to speak. Ding Qi, who had been silent since Li Wanlan came in, protested in a low voice: "How old is the fourth sister? We brothers are younger because they are younger, but why does brother Xiao Liu call you sister?"

That's right! Judging from her appearance, she doesn't seem to be that old. Ding Qi, Wu Dong and the others may have called her according to the order of entry. Why should I call her sister?

After Li Wanlan sat down, she picked up her chopsticks and knocked on the table, then asked Ding Qi maliciously: "Are Xiao Liu and you brothers? Are you my eighth brother?" When Ding Qi nodded helplessly, he added: "

Then, can't Xiaoliu call me fourth sister?" As he spoke, Hao turned his wrist lightly and moved a pair of chopsticks back and forth between his fingers, which made Ding Qi change his color in shock.

After this little episode, Liu Meng, Wu Dong, and Li Wanlan became much closer. After entering Xiangyang City, they calmly followed Ding Qi's request and stayed with them at the Tongfu Inn, which is next to the Yamen of the Soothing Envoy.

At that time, Xiangyang City had been besieged several times by the Mongolian army, which lasted for twenty years. At the worst point, hundreds of thousands of troops attacked together, eating up not only the food, but also the bark and roots of the trees.

The Xiangyang soldiers and civilians worked together to repel the Mongolian army again and again.

This time, the hero Guo Jing took advantage of the cold winter to retreat the Mongol Tatars. He sent out a large number of invitations and held a general meeting of heroes from all over the world in Xiangyang City to discuss the great campaign against the Mongol Tatars. Therefore, there are countless heroes in the city, and you can see them carrying swords on any street.

Jianghu people who wear swords. Most Jianghu heroes do not care about their personal possessions. Xiangyang City has been suffering from wars for many years, and there are not many inns in the city that can accommodate people. Tongfu Inn, which is close to the pacification envoy's office in the center of the city, is even more popular.

Ding Qi and others were able to occupy a small courtyard in an excellent location under such circumstances mainly because of the following three points:

First, the six brothers and sisters were highly skilled in martial arts. After seeing their deliberate display of skills, many people in the world gave up the idea of ​​competing with them for the small courtyard.

Secondly, Li Wanlan was very skilled in medicine. He cured the serious injuries of the Beggar Clan elder Babao and many wounded soldiers with one single operation, which earned him the admiration of the defenders in the city.

Third, the eldest sister, Lei Qingzhu, was very resourceful and knowledgeable about how to form formations to defend against enemies. She was highly recognized by the hero Guo Jing and his wife Huang Rong. She was treated as a distinguished guest and assisted Guo Jing in consolidating the city's defense.

Among them, the second and third points are the most important, which makes the waiters in the inn look very respectful when facing the senior brothers and sisters.

As several people returned, the unfortunate death of Luo Huchen, the third child, cast a layer of sadness on the small courtyard. After Ding Qi settled Liu Meng into a guest room, he got into the living room and told the waiting people in detail

Explain the cause of Luo Huchen's death and the details of the Mobei assassination.

Liu Meng naturally understood that as an outsider, it would be extremely unpleasant to go out and disturb him at this time. He immediately tidied up, put on his clothes, lay on the bed, and fell asleep in a daze.

When Liu Meng woke up, it was already dark. Feeling slightly hungry, he got up and left the room. He saw a lonely figure sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, looking up at the waning moon in the sky, with an indescribable emotion.

Liu Meng didn't want to disturb Ding Qi, who was sitting alone. Just when he was about to turn around and go back to the room, Ding Qi had noticed. He put away his sadness and stood up and said: "Wake up, the food is almost cold. Let's go and eat together."

"

There is a room in the courtyard specially set up as a dining hall. Two Eight Immortals tables are put together. The upper seat is empty. Li Wanlan is sitting on the right, and next to him is the Angry-eyed Vajra. Wu Dong and Ding Qi are sitting at the lower seat.

, Liu Meng was asked to sit on the left side, and the seat next to him was also empty.

The dishes on the table are very rich. Although Xiangyang City advocates saving food and not being extravagant and wasteful, there is nothing that cannot be done with money. Common meat dishes such as fat chicken, braised elbows, and roasted lamb legs are not bad, and there are also stir-fried dishes.

Bird tongue and sweet and sour cabbage shreds. But just looking at the clothes of Li Wanlan and others, you can tell that they are not short of money.
