The sun has climbed very high, and the sunlight shines in through the window of Huimenglou. Two people who were drunk last night crawled on the table haphazardly.
As the sun rose, the light gradually raised its angle and slowly shone on their faces. It didn't take long for the two of them to wake up due to the dazzling sunlight.
On the other side of the table, the old man who had woken up early was drinking the few glasses of wine in the jug with the leftovers from last night. He was taking one sip after another, and he seemed to be enjoying it very much.
"Er Gou, did I say anything I shouldn't have said last night?"
When Su Ruyu woke up, he stretched himself and asked casually. In fact, he didn't quite remember what happened yesterday.
"You're not the only one who's drunk. How could I know what you said?"
Ergou rubbed his sore eyes and spoke lazily, but the old man over there, who was squinting and drinking a small drink, intervened.
"Xiao Yuyu, you said last night that Chu Mengru would wait for you, and you also said that you wanted to propose marriage to his father."
Hearing the old man's words, Su Ruyu's face, which was originally pale due to drunkenness, suddenly turned red, even redder than when she was drunk last night.
"Oh, I can't tell, Xiao Yuyu, you also have a girl in mind! Tell me. This Chu Mengru is a girl from that family. It's his misfortune to be attracted by you!"
"Haha, Ergou, you shouldn't know who this Chu Mengru is! Chu Mengru is not an ordinary girl. You forgot, I have told you his name. The one named Chu Zheng
The old man continued to drink with squinted eyes, looking a little disapproving.
But Ergou was different. After knowing the truth, his admiration for Su Ruyu rolled in like a surging river.
"Xiao Yuyu, I didn't expect you to have such a great and strong ideal as marrying a princess. I have to say that I lost, and I am willing to be the loser."
"Humph, so what if you know. Anyway, you are not the first to know that I want to marry her. Besides, I, Su Ruyu, want to marry her, Chu Mengru. From the first time I saw her when I first entered the palace,
I knew I would definitely marry her! It was only me who could marry her!"
"Xiao Yuyu, I heard you say that this is a palace visit and a meeting with the princess. Your family must be very impressive in the capital!"
"Hahaha, my family is just average in the capital. There are several officials in the family, and the one who has done the most is my father. He is the current Prime Minister Su Wang."
"Although my father has a high official position, I have never used my father's name to do anything! One day, I will surpass my father and personally pull my father from the position of Prime Minister.
At that time, I will propose marriage to His Majesty the Emperor on my own, so there is no need for my father at all, and the old man will be spared the hassle of nagging me all day long."
Seeing Su Ruyu's ambitious look, Ergou couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. With such ambition, he should be encouraged no matter what.
"As for why I can enter the palace casually. That's because Prince Chu Wushuang is my buddy and we have a very good relationship. I think I led him the way to the brothel for the first time. So, hehe, sometimes I think
One look at his sister and he would quietly take me in."
"I'll go! Xiao Yuyu, you are really extraordinary. It doesn't matter that your father is the prime minister of the country, and you are friends with the prince. At the same time, you also want to marry a princess! If you really marry a princess in the future, who else in the world would dare to offend you?
You."
"That's right, Ergou, let me tell you, when I was in Xijing City, I always walked sideways. The young man or the dandy in that family didn't give me any respect!"
"Xiao Yuyu, since you are so powerful, why are we being kicked out of the capital?"
"Oh, I feel sad when I mention this. If it weren't for
Chu Wushuang had to go back to Menglou to listen to music that night, so I wouldn't be kicked out of the capital!"
"When we were in the capital, Chu Wushuang wanted to go back to the Dream Tower to listen to the music of Xian'er, the top star. As a buddy, I couldn't leave him behind! Later, I got drunk. So, I
The words I shouted last night were also shouted in Huimeng Tower in the capital."
"But how did I know that my father was so well-informed? He found out in less than a quarter of an hour. He didn't care about the face of his country's prime minister. He held a sword and chased me out of the capital. If my mother hadn't arrived in time, I would have
My father cut off his head with a sword."
"Later, I was kicked out of the capital by my father. My dad said that if I dared to go back before the imperial examination in the autumn, he would kill me with a sword. I was kicked out now. Then, I
I just came to Luochuan City and met you!"
Listening to Su Ruyu's narration of his origins and stories, Ergou felt that this experience was really exciting. Compared with him, all the big things he had encountered since he entered the world were nothing.
Have you seen dozens of bandits fighting each other, but have you ever drank wine with the prince? Have you ever seen a killer chasing his soul and seeking his life, but have you ever been chased on the street by a dignified prime minister with a sword?
?Compared with these, what Ergou experienced was nothing but trivial matters.
"Xiao Yuyu, why are you so awesome? Just take me and this old man to the capital. Anyway, my master and I have nowhere to go. We're not going anywhere! I haven't been to the capital yet? I'll go to the capital then.
With you here, I want to see who dares to bully me!"
"What? You are also going to the capital? Okay! I, Su Ruyu, am not bragging! When we get to the capital, we will go back to Menglou to order the best private rooms and the best girls. Then we will go to the Bianhe River outside Xijing to bag the best
That luxurious flower boat, hahaha, it’s not like it is in Luochuan City in Xijing City. I’m clear!”
"Hahaha, then we have agreed to go to the capital together."
In fact, for Ergou, it doesn't matter whether he goes to Beijing or not. He is not thinking about the best private room and girl in Huimeng Tower in Beijing, nor is he thinking about the most luxurious flower boat on the Bian River, but what he wants today and in the future.
A long-term and stable meal ticket for a period of time.
If you don't find a reason, why would you eat and drink with others along the way? Of course, Ergou has never been to the capital. It would be good if he could go and see it this time.
"Okay, okay, but it will take a while. My dad said he can't go back until autumn. It's only the beginning of summer, and if I go back like this, I'm afraid my dad will really chop me off."
"It's okay, it's okay. You can go back anytime. In the next period of time, just think of us two brothers traveling around the world."
"Okay, Ergou, to be honest, I've wanted to see what this world is like for a long time. I've always heard people talk about it before, but I've never seen it! This time is just right, you and Senior Wang can show me
Watched it."
Seeing that the long-term meal ticket had been received, Ergou was naturally full of joy, and he readily agreed to Su Ruyu's small request of seeing what Jianghu was like.
As a result, the master-disciple duo who traveled around the world became a threesome. I don’t know what interesting things they will encounter in the next time.
They stayed in Luochuan City for almost ten days. Of course, they did not live in Huimenglou all the time. Even Su Ruyu couldn't afford such high consumption, but if they were in the capital, that would be a different matter.
Already.
After returning to Menglou to spend the night, they came out the same day and found an ordinary inn to stay. Ever since they found Su Ruyu as a stable meal ticket, Jiang Ergou and the others had never been hungry again.
Almost ten days later, when the three of them felt that they had visited Luochuan City inside and outside, they decided to leave.
After all, you are traveling around the world, so you can't just stay in one place. You always have to go out and see more.
Outside Luochuan City…
It was early in the morning and even the fog had not completely lifted.
In this thin layer of mist, one could vaguely see a young man wearing a brocade suit holding a folding fan, a young man who fell in love with jumping up and down in ordinary clothes, and a wretched old man wrapped in a shabby robe.
.
Such a strange trio is naturally Jiang Ergou and the others. As usual, Ergou is carrying a baggage, and the old man is carrying a rattan-like object behind his back. The most leisurely person is Su Ruyu, who has nothing but a folding fan.
Already.
But there was nothing I could do. Who would let others pay for the food? Ergou had no choice but to bear the burden on his own.
In fact, Ergou also wanted to ask for the money bag to carry it together, but unfortunately Su Ruyu refused. According to him, no matter how good the relationship between the two brothers is, it is more comfortable to keep the money in their own pockets.
Chu Wushuang said the same thing.
"Xiao Yuyu, where we are going next, do you have anything in mind?"
"Hahaha, after seeing the wealth and prosperity of Luochuan City, it's natural to go and see Wangyou City in Lingzhou. It is said that the reason why Wangyou City can forget you is because there are so many beauties in the city.
Ah! Any girl walking out on the street is a beauty, we should take a closer look."
Over there, the old man heard the name of Wangyou City and lowered his head to think for a while.
"Wangyou City? It's not bad. Going there to see it should have some effect."
"Yes, yes, you should go and see it. Besides, this is the only way back to the capital. Since even Senior Wang agrees, Ergou, you must have no objection, then we will set off directly.
"
After saying that, Su Ruyu and the old man took the lead in walking on the official road from Luochuan City to Wangyou City, ignoring Ergou who was still hesitating.
"Hey, hey, wait for me. Even if I don't have any objections to going to Wangyou City, you don't have to be in such a hurry!"
As if they didn't hear what Ergou said, the two just walked forward and soon merged into the mist.
In fact, in the same territory of Lingzhou, Luochuan City and Wangyou City are not far apart. Even for these two places that are both big cities, the arrangement is very unreasonable.
As one of the largest cities in Lingzhou, Wangyou City is only five or six days away from Luochuan City.
Along the way, the three of them did not encounter any special circumstances. Even when they needed to rest at night, the weather was calm. Every day, Su Ruyu would look at the road ahead with anticipation, always wanting to see how the bandits who were robbing their homes would intercept them.
He asked, is it the same as what he heard in Xijing City?
Unfortunately, no bandits came out to intercept the road. This made Su Ruyu disappointed for a long time.
This is not to say that the bandits did not discover the three of them, but that these two and a half-year-old teenagers plus an old man would not make much money if they intercepted them, and they would waste their own energy. It would be better to let them pass, which is considered a good thing.
Build up some virtue for yourself.
The people who have been fighting in the arena all their lives are more or less believers in fate. They have never been able to live a stable life for a day in this life, and always hope that they can live an ordinary life in the next life.
The trio wandered to Wangyou City like this.
Outside Wangyou City, Ergou was really intoxicated by the beautiful scenery of Wangyou City. Not to mention anything else, even the city gate guards were girls wearing armor and swords, full of heroic spirit. This beautiful scenery can also
How bad is it.
Looking towards the middle of the city gate, it turns out that most of the people coming in and out are women. Each one of them is equipped with a sword, and at first glance, they are dressed like a knight-errant.
Such a city that is not as big as Luochuan City, nor as prosperous as Luochuan City, is the pleasant city of Wangyou. However, whether it is the scenery or the girl that is so pleasant is a matter of judgment and wisdom.
