"Brother Li, we have half a day's journey to Yingshui County. Let me tell you, Yingshui County is a good place, especially the Yu'er Building in Dafeng City. The girl there is called a
Shui Ling.”
"There are seven or eight casinos that are ten times bigger than Qianjintai. The gambling games don't stop from early morning to early morning. You can play as long as you want."
"From Pai Gow, dice, tiger and leopard fighting to grass fighting, pot throwing and even dog fighting and cock fighting, there are all kinds of strange ways to play!"
"What's more important is that the girls who are waiting around are more beautiful than the last."
"Really? Then Brother Sun will give me a good tour."
On the official road of Yingshui County, Li Danqing had a lively conversation with an unshaven middle-aged man. Their faces were flushed and their expressions were excited, and they seemed to regret meeting each other too late.
Xia Xianyin, who was walking in front, frowned when he heard the two people's words becoming more explicit, and glared at Li Danqing fiercely.
Li Danqing was so excited that he quickly suppressed the obscene smile on his face, coughed twice, and said seriously: "Of course, I'm not here to see those girls."
"To be honest, brother, I am currently composing a novel called "Daughter's Chronicle". It tells the story of a woman who has suffered a lot and gradually grows into a hero for the country and the people!"
"The sage has a saying that a young man is better than a man. What he means is that the girls in this brothel have a heroic spirit that is a hundred times stronger than that of ordinary men."
"If I want to write this story well, I have to get to know these girls well, and I'll need Brother Sun's guidance when the time comes."
The man next to him, who was wearing linen clothes, looked rather slovenly, and still smelled of "old" alcohol, was stunned when he heard this, and it took him a while to react.
He nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes! Brother Li is very talented, and he can quote scriptures at his fingertips. Sun will be taught. When the "Daughter's Chronicle" is written in the future, Sun must be the first to observe it!"
After saying this, the two looked at each other and laughed again.
Xia Xianyin, who was walking in front, listened to the hearty laughter of the two, and veins popped up on her forehead. She clenched her fists tightly, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the urge to beat Li Danqing violently——
After all, she is more or less responsible for the current situation.
It was said that a few days ago, she and Li Danqing escaped from Yanghu Town, which probably made Li Danqing feel guilty after risking his life.
When Li Danqing put forward his theory that surviving a catastrophe would lead to future blessings, and he should take this opportunity to go to the casino to make a huge fortune, Xia Xianyin did not have the heart to refuse.
In view of Li Danqing's bad record of being uneducated and incompetent, Xia Xianyin, who walked into the casino with only ten taels of silver, was already prepared to be penniless.
But I don’t know if Li Danqing’s theory really worked. That night, Li Danqing was scornful in the casino. He could be said to kill the guests and kill the dealers. Such high-spirited appearance made Xia Xianyin unable to bear it.
Secretly sighing, I am afraid that only at this gambling table can I see a little bit of the general Tiance in Prince Li.
In just over an hour, the silver in their hands increased tenfold, and even Xia Xianyin was a little stunned.
Perhaps because of the big tree attracting wind, when Xia Xianyin and Li Danqing left the casino with satisfaction, a middle-aged man who called himself Sun Yu chased them.
The guy's appearance was sloppy, he smelled of alcohol, and he looked like a charlatan.
But he was eloquent, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was impressed by the way Li Danqing was killing everyone at the gambling table, and wanted to become his disciple. The flattering words in his mouth were even more disgusting and he was greeted by Li Danqing.
I thought that although Li Danqing was not very smart, he was still a well-educated person and would not be deceived by such nonsense. However, Li Danqing seemed to be born to surprise others.
He and Sun Yu, who came out of nowhere, hit it off immediately. The two of them had a similar odor, and when they heard that the other party was also going to Xiayuecheng in Yingshui County, they invited him to go with them.
From that day on, the old man and the young man were inseparable, going out and going together.
And Xia Xianyin had also heard countless "foul words" like this one.
If she hadn't thought about Li Danqing's many life-saving graces to her, Xia Xianyin's temperament would have
She started to get angry, but at the moment she could only endure it.
…
"Ahead is Xiayuecheng in Yingshui County." It was past noon and everyone was on the road again after lunch. A man named Sun Yu enthusiastically pointed to the angular city wall in the distance and said loudly: "Look, this Xiayuecheng
It falls under the jurisdiction of Yangshan and is built on the mountain. The high mountain behind it is one of the twenty-eight sacred mountains of our Wuyang Dynasty - Yangshan!"
It took a full month to travel across mountains and rivers, during which time I experienced life and death several times.
Seeing that the destination was right in front of her, her mood improved and she breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "We're finally here."
Li Danqing on the side was even more excited and said excitedly: "Girls of Yingshui County! Your husband is here!"
Naturally, these words inevitably drew the eyes of Xia Xianyin, and at this time Sun Yu also stepped forward and asked: "By the way, I haven't asked Brother Li yet whether I am going to Yingshui County for a few days, or for a long stay.
?”
When talking about this topic, Li Danqing suddenly became energetic. He patted the golden sword on his back very proudly: "Those are vulgar things. To be honest, brother, I am not talented. I was invited by the mountain master of Yangshan."
Come to Yangshan to practice."
"He originally wanted to pass Yangshan Mountain to me, but my younger brother felt that Yangshan Mountain was too small and wanted a bigger holy mountain, so he rejected him. This time he came just to defeat the mountain owner and give him some face.
That’s all.”
Li Danqing's nonsense came out of his mouth, but Xia Xianyin was used to his great success.
I also know that anyone with some common sense would disagree with this statement, but it is obvious that her thoughts like this truly underestimate the professional ethics of Sun Yu, a charlatan.
The man with a full beard and hair so messy that it could make a chicken coop was stunned for a moment, but the next moment he suddenly stamped his feet, looking like he had suddenly come to his senses.
He pointed at Li Danqing and said: "What am I talking about? When I saw my little brother scolding Fang Qiu at the Qianjin Terrace, I knew that you, brother, are not an ordinary person. With such an unworthy spirit, I think
A hundred times better than those guys in those five colleges who call themselves geniuses and monsters."
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously." Li Danqing had such a smile on his face and said humbly against his will.
At this time, Sun Yu suddenly rolled his eyes, changed his tone, and suddenly showed a sad look on his face: "But I'm just afraid, my little brother is full of passion, but he is burdened by worldly things, so let me fight..."
A bright pearl of the Yang Dynasty is covered in dust."
"Brother Sun, what are you talking about?" Li Danqing asked confused.
Sun Yu said: "Little brother, you don't know something now, right? According to the rules of Yangshan, no matter how talented you are in cultivation, or how great your family background is, you must first be an outer disciple for three years after arriving in Yangshan.
Not only do you have to carry water and chop firewood, but you also have to load and unload goods in various trading houses. Let me tell you, every new disciple who joins the profession every year is not exhausted."
Li Danqing's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard these words. It was obvious that the leisurely life he imagined was quite different from the scene described by Sun Yu.
"No...that's not the case, right?" Li Danqing said, "This Yangshan Mountain is also one of the twenty-eight holy mountains. I come here to practice, not to do hard work."
"Little friend, you don't know, the mountain master of Yangshan is a notoriously lazy person in our Wuyang Dynasty. Ever since he took over the position of mountain master from his master, he has been dissolute and indulged in gambling in the market.
Dao, I don’t have the ability like my little brother.”
"It was just small bets at first, but as time went on, he started to bet big. It seems that he also memorized all the ideas. He almost always lost when he bet, but he failed again and again."
"Within a few years, he completely destroyed the property left to him by his ancestors. Speaking of which, Yangshan was also a big business at that time. There were five colleges in Yangshan, located in Chunliu, Xiayue, and Chunliu with the same names.
The five cities of Autumn Scenery, Holly and Gale are also the property of Yangshan."
"Later, for some reason, the mountain owner made a bet with a big shot and lost all five cities. Later, the imperial court came forward to help him cover his debts. However, these five cities are now also owned by the imperial court.
After taking over, only five of the colleges were owned by Yangshan. Therefore, the cities around Yangshan are now a mixed bag, no different from other towns."
"You said, we have reached this point
It turns out that the mountain master has no intention of restraining himself and is borrowing money everywhere. The masters of the five major colleges have no choice but to let the new disciples do hard work in the surrounding merchant houses, or send disciples to act as darts to eliminate evil and earn some rewards.
, to make up for the shortfall.”
Li Danqing was stunned when he heard this story. After a while, he came back to his senses and murmured: "This brother is even more amazing than me..."
Xia Xianyin on the side heard this and rolled his eyes at Li Danqing again, thinking: "You are quite self-aware."
"According to what Brother Sun said, wouldn't it be inevitable for me to suffer some physical pain during this trip?" Li Danqing frowned and said, looking at his posture, he seemed to be ready to go home.
Sun Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this. He sighed in a pretense of embarrassment and said: "It's all because my little brother and I are too close to each other. I don't hide it. To be honest, Mr. Sun
I still have some old acquaintances in Yangshan. If we can make some connections and take care of things, I can save my little brother from those three years of hard labor and start directly as an inner disciple."
"Oh? Brother Sun still has such ability." Li Danqing said in surprise, his eyes shining.
Xia Xianyin on the side saw this, her face changed slightly, and she thought to herself that Li Danqing would not be so stupid as to believe such nonsense, right?
"It's not really a skill, it's just that I have more friends." Sun Yu said modestly.
Li Danqing frowned, Sun Yu suddenly looked nervous, but Xia Xianyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when such an idea came to mind, I heard Li Danqing say: "This inner disciple seems to be relaxed, which is more suitable for my identity. Since Brother Sun has this ability, why not be a good person and do it to the end, and then help me improve my identity."
Mention it?"
Sun Yu was stunned, and looked at Li Danqing with a strange look. He asked with a tentative laugh: "So, Brother Li, do you want to be a direct disciple?"
Li Danqing raised his eyebrows: "Brother Sun's thinking is too limited. Why do we have to be disciples?"
"So what does Brother Li mean by wanting to be a deacon?" The muscles on Sun Yu's face twitched.
Li Danqing leaned over and asked enthusiastically: "Is there anyone more powerful?"
"House...dean?" Sun Yu's voice trembled a little, as if he was beginning to feel guilty.
"That's not bad." But who knew when he said these words, Li Danqing slapped his forehead and his eyes lit up. "If I become the dean, I will drive away all those male disciples and focus all my energy on the female disciples. It's so terrible."
Training... No! It's Haosheng's training! Let them all be the best among people. Brother Sun, go tell your acquaintance! With my talent, Li Danqing, he will give me a dean today, and I will return it tomorrow.
He has a bright future in Yangshan!"
When Sun Yu heard this, he looked at Li Danqing seriously for a while. After he was sure that the other party was not fooling him, he put on a troubled face: "This is not... impossible."
"But this is a matter of looking up and down..."
"It's easy to say." Li Danqing didn't even wait for him to finish speaking, and handed the hundred or so taels of silver notes in his pocket to Sun Yu's hands in a very polite manner.
Sun Yu looked at this easy windfall and felt his mouth was dry. He quickly stuffed the money into his arms and said, "Brother Li will go to Xia Yuecheng to settle down first. I will take the first step."
Go help you take care of everything."
Sun Yu said this and was about to leave. Judging by his posture, he was afraid that Li Danqing would come back to him.
"Are you in such a hurry? Why don't we go to Xia Yuecheng for dinner later? Brother Sun won't be in a hurry to leave again." Li Danqing was very sorry to persuade him to stay.
"How can you afford to delay Brother Li's matter? I'm going to take care of it right away. If it's done as soon as possible, Brother Li can realize his grand ambitions as soon as possible!" Sun Yu said this, looking towards Li in a panic.
Danqing waved his hand, then turned around and ran away.
Li Danqing stood there, looking at the back of Sun Yu who was speeding away, his face suddenly looked melancholy.
Xia Xianyin on the side had long been dumbfounded by Li Danqing's actions. When she saw him like this, she thought he had come to his senses.
She thought that it would be good to spend some money to improve the memory of this whimsical Crown Prince. She walked forward, thinking of comforting Li Danqing with a few words. But at this moment, she heard Li Danqing sigh: "This Brother Sun
