23 Chance encounter in a restaurant

Li Yuebai replied: "I am a person from Changqing, and I am preparing to participate in the palace examination for the first time in Beijing, and I came out to relax. Xiao Sheng's face sank, showed a slight look of disdain, and said coldly: "The guest officer is a countryman, I have heard of Changqing Province, that place is very remote, and I didn't say it earlier, this is a place where Kyoto officials and celebrities come, but I don't know if the guest officer's silver is enough?!" ”

Li Yuebai didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of marketman, and said with a smile: "Even if you make arrangements, there will be no shortage of silver, although Changqing Province is far away, but I can come to Beijing to catch the exam, can't I pay for this wine?!" ”

Listening to his tone, and then looking at his dress, he didn't look like an ordinary person, so he hurriedly turned his face and said with a smile: "Originally, only VIPs were received here, since the master came to Beijing thousands of miles away, it was really not easy, how could he sweep away your interest?" As long as the money is enough, you can enjoy it as much as you want! Please come with me. After speaking, he led Li Yuebai to a wine pavilion.

Li Yuebai followed Xiaosheng into the wine pavilion, and not far in front of him, there was a strong man at the wine table who only cared about drinking, ignoring others. Li Yuebai sat down on the table opposite the strong man, ordered a few dishes of wine and food, and listened to the piano while drinking.

The strong man was full of alcohol, quite drunk. Li Yuebai glanced at the strong man, the two looked at each other, the strong man's eyes showed disdain, his face was full of disdain, and he didn't say anything, just continued to drink.

The big man was dressed in a soap-colored samurai robe, with piercing eyes, a broad face, and yellow beard and brown hair. He wears a black hat with a soft head, a brown horn hairpin inserted on the back of the hat, a Xuantie Yanyue Mo knife at his left waist, a shark skin bow on his back, his hands are thick and powerful, and his body is burly and strong, like a lion.

The two of them in the wine pavilion were speechless for a while, drinking and enjoying themselves.

After a cup of tea, the beauty in red finished playing. A slight sound suddenly sounded outside the pavilion, and a fluorescent lightning struck, Li Yuebai secretly said that it was not good, it must be a poisonous needle hidden weapon. He jumped up suddenly, and knocked down the hidden weapons with the bamboo chopsticks in his hand, but they were two silver needles several inches long, and the silver needles shimmered in the moonlight, and the cold was pressing.

The strong man is also extraordinary, the Mo knife has already been unsheathed, and the back of the knife is facing the flying hidden weapon, he saw that Li Yuebai's body method is extremely fast, extraordinary people, and he changed his previous arrogance, and his expression was very admirable.

Li Yuebai unsheathed his long sword, ignoring the strong man, and then quickly turned sideways to hide behind the door, and at the same time signaled the strong man to be careful. The strong man also turned sideways behind the door, and the two of them intently probed the movement outside the pavilion. The hall roared in unison, and everyone cheered again.

The two observed for a while, and there was no abnormality, so they breathed a sigh of relief, and before Li Yuebai could speak, the man whispered: "This is not the place to talk, let's talk about it in another place!" ”

Li Yuebai carefully put away the two silver needles, then went downstairs with Dahan, and after hurriedly checking out, he quickly walked out of the "Tianxiang Pavilion".

The strong man said: "Brother Shicai stand up to help, the contemptible people are grateful, please come with me and go to that secluded place to talk." ”

Li Yuebai followed him to the west of the city, turning a few intersections and walking through a few streets. Along the way, the big man looked back from time to time to see if anyone was following, and when he saw that no one was following, he walked into a tavern in the alley with Li Yuebai.

The two ordered a few more dishes of wine and food, and after a glass of wine, the man looked at Li Yuebai and saluted: "There is a rude place in the restaurant, please bear with me!" I don't like to see the gang of bird boys in the capital, most of them rely on Lao Tzu's family power, fox and fake tiger power, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, all of them are a group of fucking noodles! I mistook my brother for those birds! Unexpectedly, the brothers are extraordinary, they help each other, and they admire and admire! ”

Li Yuebai replied with humility, and the two of them revealed their respective surnames and ages. It turned out that this strong man's surname was Yue Mingqing, so that he had a good knife technique, known as "Yue Buer", he was a person from Linggu Province, who was originally a farmer, good at dancing and swords, and had great strength to carry the Ding, coupled with good courage and ruthlessness, and his temperament was irritable, and his parents' discipline was completely useless. He often said that his husband made meritorious contributions to the field, and he had no interest in farming, and he mingled with the scoundrels in the township all day long, making guns and sticks run rampant in the township, often causing trouble, which gave Gao Tang a headache.

Coincidentally, he was destined to make a fortune, and one day he was walking alone on the road after drinking, and saw more than a dozen masked men besieging an official, and seeing that the official was defeated by the masked people, he would be murdered. When he saw that the masked man was bullying the widow and the widow, he was upset, so he drank and strengthened the hero's courage, shouted loudly, drew his sword to help, and cut down the seven or eight people in a moment, and the remaining masked people saw that the situation was not good, and they fled. The official escaped death and asked for a gift of money, but he insisted on refusing to accept it, and the official saw that he was extraordinary, and asked for the place of residence of the surname and left.

Xue Zhongbing saw that he was very brave, so he sent someone to find him and arranged for him to be the first guard with a knife under the door.

Yue Qing was good at observing words and feelings, acting when the opportunity was made, and it didn't take long for him to become Xue Zhongbing's confidant. After saying this experience, Yue Qing's originally proud face suddenly sank, and said: "On a day like this, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, I look at the level of my master's eyebrows and eyes all day long, but I am just his mother's house slave, and my husband will not live in vain when he kills the enemy on the battlefield!" The thief chief has been committing a crime recently, Lao Tzu's hand is itchy, I really want to enlist in the army and serve the court, but it is hindered by the master's affection, hey! But I'm a rough person, even if I join the army, I'm just a soldier, it's boring! ”

Li Yuebai felt that this person was quite heroic, but he entered Beijing to take the exam, and he was deeply ashamed to seek fame for his father's wish. After entering Beijing, he knew that the country was in trouble, and he admired Yue Qing's impassioned words very much, and couldn't help but respect him.

Yue Qing said excitedly, and said: "Although the eldest brother seems to be a scholar, in fact, it is not, I Yue Qing has already understood!" You are amazing, by no means an ordinary person, he will make great achievements one day, if the gold list high school in the future, please also ask the eldest brother to read today's fate, don't forget to mention the elder brother! ”

Li Yuebai was full of promises, and then asked: "There are gangsters assassinated today, for some reason?" ”

Yue Qing said with a disdainful face: "Damn, I don't know how many people in the family want Lao Tzu's life all day long!" I have never lacked enemies, haha, but I have a big life, since I followed Xue Daguan, there are countless assassins who have been slaughtered by me! The opponent secretly calculates the means, and it is not strange to see it! Just those two fucking rotten needles can still kill his grandfather?! Haha, then I really can't call the title of the first swordsman in Xuemen! ”

Li Yuebai asked again: "Then what kind of grievances does the Xue Guanren have with the enemy family to provoke the assassin to come to the door?" ”

Yue Qing said in a low voice: "I'm a rough person, just guard Xue Gongzi!" Princes and high-ranking officials, there is no opponent, I don't ask about the master's secret private affairs, this is also the rule of the world, big brother don't ask about those, the less you know about these things, the better! A few days will be Xue Gongzi's birthday, the sons and brothers in the capital who have heads and faces in the capital will go to Tianxiang Pavilion to celebrate their birthdays, Xue Daguan is a person who is eager to seek talents, and I will introduce Xue Gongzi to the eldest brother in the future! ”
