Chapter 12: Late Night Visitors
One wake up and one sleep, one white and one black, one yang and one yin, yin and yang, the square is right, so people cannot sleepless. Even if you are a master of the rivers and lakes, you must sleep lightly and cultivate your soul. Even if it has reached an extremely high level, at most, it is to meditate and settle down to replace sleep. If it is day and night, for a long time, it will cause great loss of the soul, and then the soul will be sluggish and the spirit will not be good. Just like Bigu, it is not that you don't eat it, but you don't eat whole grains, and replace it with meal style and dew.
But not sleeping for a day or two is nothing. Not to mention the masters of the rivers and lakes, they are ordinary people, and it is not difficult to stay up all night. The night was long and they had no intention of sleeping, so Li Xuandu and Jia Wendao simply sat in the lobby and talked about some anecdotes about the rivers and lakes. Jia Wendao is extremely knowledgeable, and he intends to cater to Li Xuandu in words, and the two of them are speculative.
Li Xuandu simply took out his remaining Ming Qian from the "eighteenth floor" and boiled a pot of tea, Jia Wendao did not shirk this time, the two sat and drank tea and chatted, and talked about it in the middle of the night.
At this time, I heard a noise outside the door, but someone called the door again.
At this time, the door of the inn lobby was open, and the two turned their heads to look at the courtyard gate, and the young man who slept hazyly came out of nowhere and opened the door.
After a while, the group entered the inn, but it was a group of people from the court, mostly armor soldiers wearing armor, led by two sons in brocade clothes.
Li Xuandu just glanced at it, and then withdrew his gaze. Since the change of the imperial capital, he has put up his name in the imperial court, not a thief is better than a thief, and there are even rumors in the rivers and lakes that there are three major anti-thieves inscribed by the Son of Heaven himself in the emperor's imperial study, namely: the Evil Saint Monarch, the Heavenly Gong General, and the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal. And whether it's true or not, Li Xuan can be ranked with Taiyun and Tang Zhou, and they all feel that they are climbing. In any case, the evil sage monarch Taiyun is a country that separates the world from the Great Wei court, and the Qingyang Sect of the Tiangong general Tang Zhou is even more criss-crossing the land of several states, and the reason why Li Xuandu can be juxtaposed with the two of them is because the internal worries outweigh the external troubles, for those powerful people, the loss of the land is nothing, and the suffering of the people is nothing, but to implement a new policy to seize their power and cut off their financial routes, it is a great enemy of life and death.
As for Jia Wendao, he is a person who has no Taoism, and he is also a person from the Northwest Great Zhou, and he is incompatible with the people in the court.
One of the brocade-clothed men glanced around and asked, "Where are the people?"
The young man cowered timidly, not daring to answer.
Li Xuandu spoke on his behalf: "Today is full, there is no room left, and I have to grieve a few officials." ”
The brocade-clothed boy frowned slightly.
A general in armor took off his helmet and put it under his armpit, and said with an indifferent face: "Give you time to stick incense, vacate the inn, and then prepare wine and meat, wine for the best wine, meat for beef." All expenses, a penny is indispensable to you. If anyone dares to disobey the order, there will be no mercy. ”
These words can be described as murderous, for ordinary people, the people do not fight with officials, nor are they masters, vacate the house, but the people in the rivers and lakes are different, they are very particular about face, they are cut or stabbed by someone, it is a trivial matter, it is completely possible to meet with a smile and enmity, but if you are slapped in the face, before you get back face, it is a life-and-death feud that never stops.
This room is naturally inadmissible, whether it is a person in the righteous path or a person in the evil way.
Jia Wendao snorted coldly and was about to get up. He is submissive in front of the greedy wolf king, and he bows low and is small in front of Li Xuandu, but these are all situations stronger than people, and people have to bow their heads under the eaves, which does not mean that he has a good temper, and he also has a lot of lives on his hands.
At this moment, Li Xuandu raised his hand, signaled Jia Wendao to be restless, and then said: "So that the official knows that it is a big crime to kill a cultivated cow privately, so if you want to eat beef, it depends on luck. ”
The general laughed angrily, took off the waist knife from his waist and slapped it on the table: "In today's world, human life is like a mustard, but cattle can't be killed? Let me ask you, can you eat beef in this?"
Li Xuandu nodded and said, "Yes, the official will find the cow and kill the cow by himself." ”
The general put his helmet on the table again: "What about this, can you eat beef?"
Li Xuandu also nodded and said, "Yes, but you have to violate the law of the country." ”
The general put the helmet and waist knife together: "This plus this, can you eat beef?"
Li Xuandu said indifferently: "In this way, the official is going to take the lead in violating the law of the country? According to the laws of the Great Wei, it is a capital crime to kill a cultivated cow privately, and it is also a felony to eat beef.
Jia Wendao said hesitantly: "Mr. Li, such a court, such an official, can the Great Wei Yan be undefeated? What nonsense are you talking about with him, not only will he not appreciate it, but he will also be angry with you, and he wants me to say, one knife is killed, one hundred is over." ”
On the first floor of the inn, the atmosphere is dignified.
The general was stunned, pulled out his waist knife, and shouted, "Who are you?"
The sound was so powerful that dust fell from the beams and pillars.
If it were an ordinary martial artist, I am afraid that I would not be shocked by this drink, and my blood would be surging, but Li Xuandu and Jia Wendao were unaware, and even the tea in the teacup in Jia Wendao's hand did not shake for half a minute.
Li Xuandu said calmly: "We are passers-by. ”
At this moment, the people upstairs had already been alarmed, and Wang Huchan, who was carrying a giant knife, walked down the stairs sullenly. The moment he appeared, all the armorers held down the hilt of their swords, and the general who drew his sword was even more murderous.
The brocade-clothed boy who spoke earlier stretched out a hand, pressed it down gently, signaling everyone not to act rashly, and then the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked: "Are you going to rebel?"
Li Xuandu poured the tea in his hand on the ground: "Buckle the hat?"
The boy in brocade smiled and said, "It's just buttoning the hat, how about it?"
Then he leaned forward slightly, and said coldly: "You dare to go against the imperial court?"
Jia Wendao couldn't help laughing, and Wang Huchan also grinned.
The boy in brocade sighed lightly: "It is said that chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, you people in the rivers and lakes, after learning a few crop tricks, you feel that you are invincible in the world, and you feel that you can be proud of the prince and slow princess." When you see people in the government, you put on a look like the eldest and my second, isn't it ridiculous?"
Li Xuandu also sighed lightly: "This can't be wrong, but it should be said a few years ago." ”
The boy in brocade laughed, not a sneer, not a fake smile, but a real smile. It's like hearing the joke of "Emperor Jin Biandan", and I was really amused: "This is the border of Luzhou, the territory of the governor of Jingchu, we know that this Taiping Inn is the property of the Taiping Sect, but what about the Taiping Sect?
Many of the armorers who followed him also laughed, especially the general who took off his helmet and laughed the loudest.
Jia Wendao restrained his smile and said softly: "Mr. Li, if you don't have to do it yourself, let Huchan do it." ”
Li Xuandu seemed to ask himself: "It's just a quarrel, and you're going to kill someone?"
Jia Wendao said with a smile: "Mr. Li, if the two of us are just ordinary guests and dare to contradict them like this, will we already be in a different place at this time? On the other hand, when they come against us and we kill them, it's just a phrase of 'don't look for death for a long time.'" To put it bluntly, the rivers and lakes are fighting, and the big fist is the last word, and they can only blame them for not having long eyes and taking the initiative to provoke us, and God doesn't save the people who seek their own death. ”
Jia Wendao's words did not shy away from the crowd, except for the two brocade boys, the rest of them all changed color.
Because these words are already obvious, Jia Wendao is not a person in the rivers and lakes who can only do a little crop, it is very likely that he is a real master of the rivers and lakes, and there is more than one.
As he spoke, Wang Huchan had already drawn his giant knife, and no one even saw how he made a move, and the general's head had already swirled and flew up.
Jia Wendao sneered: "You don't need to buckle your hat, the so-called killing an official is equivalent to rebellion, if you bear the charge in vain, it will be slander, so I will simply help you and confirm this charge." ”
