Mr. Yangui

Chapter 13 East City Beggars
There is never a shortage of new things in Chang'an City.

Not long after the theft of the Martial Arts Pavilion was solved, Li Hu made a vigorous attack and captured more than [-] Khitan spies and collaborators and traitors, including palace guards, wealthy businessmen in the city, people from the Jianghu, and even court officials.

The Khitan army and the Dayan army are fighting fiercely in Jizhou. The arrest of so many spies this time has greatly hit the arrogance of the Khitan and boosted the morale of the Dayan.

The sage, Longyan, was very happy, and rewarded Li Lingwu, the direct person in charge, heavily.

Li Lingwu was already an extremely human minister, unable to continue to be promoted, and received a reward of ten thousand taels of silver. For the Li family, this was not a lot of money, but you must know that it is the supreme honor for the Holy One to reward a hundred catties of copper coins on weekdays.

All of a sudden, the Li Mansion shone brightly again.

……

Li Mansion East Courtyard, study room.

"You said it was interrogated by that bastard Wuchang?" Li Lingwu frowned after hearing Li Hu's report.

"Yes, I also didn't expect that kid to open the mouth of a Khitan man who looked down on death. After I secretly captured An Jinxi and Sun Si, I followed the vine and dug out the others." Li Hu sat in Li Lingwu's room. Opposite, answer the question.

"Impermanence?" Li Lingwu was silent for a while, and then asked, "What does he want you for?"

"Oh." Li Hu sneered, and said: "The boy said that you trained him because of his poor martial arts, and asked me for his martial arts experience, and said he was pretending to fool you."

After a pause, he continued: "But this kid seems to be a lot more cheerful, and he is not afraid of me anymore. That day he kept getting close to me, and the flattery was so loud that I couldn't get bored, so I gave him a chance. , I wanted him to back down, but unexpectedly he was tried again, that method, tsk tsk..."

Then he described the confrontation between Li Wuchang and the Khitan people in detail, and he was full of emotion while talking, and finally concluded: "Brother, don't mention it, the reason why so many people were captured so smoothly is thanks to that drop of blood." Many hard bones trembled with fright."

After Li Lingwu listened carefully, he half-closed his eyes and didn't speak.

Li Hu took a sip of water, and then said: "I thought this kid really wanted to practice martial arts. I also compiled my martial arts experience over the years into a book for him. Who knows, he threw it at home, saying that if One day you visit him on a whim, and he will show you his experience to prove that he is practicing martial arts... Heh, this kid, he is probably messing around on the street again now, alas, I am so blind All my heart."

Li Lingwu shook his head and laughed out loud.

It's really easy to change the country, and the nature is hard to change. He is quite helpless to Li Wuchang. He is obviously very clever, but he always likes to mess around, and he doesn't remember to fight.

……

Li Wuchang didn't mess around.

He received a gift from Li Hu, a booklet, which recorded Li Hu's experience in practicing "Cangyan Jue" for many years. Li Wuchang roughly flipped through it, and then threw it in the dark compartment of the room. He didn't practice it immediately. Gotta act.

Sure enough, the next day my aunt got wind that she sent steward Qian to deliver the medicine. She said it was to deliver the medicine, but it was actually to investigate the situation. She also said that the eldest lady wanted to introduce a martial arts master to Li Wuchang.

Li Wuchang was on guard in his heart, and he was very scheming, so he fooled Steward Qian in two or three times, and asked Steward Qian for money, saying that he was going to a brothel, and asked Steward Qian not to tell his aunt and father.

Steward Qian took out a few hundred taels of silver bills and handed them to Li Wuchang on the spot, saying that the Da Furen had prepared them, and if they were not enough, he would go to him again, and patted his chest to promise that he would never tell about his visit to the brothel. Holding the bank note, Li Wuchang smiled like a fool, and patted Steward Qian on the shoulder, as if he wanted to make him a confidant.

In the past few days after sending Steward Qian away, Li Wuchang secretly studied the experience given by Li Hu in the study every day.

The experience is indeed very exciting, just the entry is written in great detail, including what to pay attention to, how to quickly enter the state, and so on, Li Wuchang is always overwhelmed.

In the middle of the night, he got up to practice kung fu secretly. Li Wuchang had a strong research spirit, was very diligent, and made rapid progress. It only took four nights, and he practiced for two hours every night. Endless state.

A miraculous thing happened, Li Wuchang found that his eyes became particularly sharp, and the whole world seemed to become brighter, like a high myopia suddenly equipped with a pair of high-definition glasses.

In the past few days, I only slept for less than two hours every night, but I never felt tired during the day.

In addition, Li Wuchang felt that his body became a lot lighter, and he walked as if he was carried by the wind. It felt very strange, and he had the feeling of "being as light as a swallow".

What's even more amazing is that Li Wuchang once got up at night, wearing single clothes. On a winter night, he didn't feel cold, but his whole body was warm.

The changes lifted his spirits.

A few days passed by, and Li Wuchang happily drank the tonic soup with ingredients sent by Steward Qian again.

Of course, it is also essential to induce vomiting secretly afterwards.

After vomiting, Li Wuchang decided to take a day off and go for a walk.

If Li Wuchang didn't go messing around in the streets, would he still be "Li Er's fool"?

So carrying the several hundred taels of silver bills given by the money steward, he left the house and walked out of Chongyifang.

There are [-] squares in Chang'an City, and each square is equivalent to a small community with complete facilities, including various restaurants, shops, streets, and houses, which are quite prosperous.

However, in terms of prosperity, it belongs to the east and west cities, with restaurants, shops, and brothels, and there are countless of them.

Dongshi is the place where Li Wuchang often goes.

Li Wuchang was wandering alone in the street, and he came to Dongshi without knowing it. Looking at this familiar place, Li Wuchang was in a good mood, and he didn't go out for a few days to go shopping, but it was a pity that Han Dazhi was not there.

"You little beggar, get out of here, and don't stop me from doing business."

A tyrannical voice attracted Li Wuchang's attention. Following the voice, he looked towards the past. In front of a bun shop, a little beggar looked pitifully at the meat buns in front of him. His saliva almost flowed out. with a little beggar.

Li Wuchang was taken aback for a moment, only feeling that this scene was very familiar.

I was an orphan in my previous life. When I was a child, I often begged in the street, and I was often scolded and beaten.

With that in mind, he stepped forward and walked over.

"Hey, Mr. Li, it's yours. Please sit down, please sit down." The guy obviously knows Li Wuchang, Li Wuchang often comes to Dongshi to hang out, most of the businessmen on Dongshi Street know Li Wuchang, but Li Wuchang usually I went to restaurants and brothels, but it was the first time I came to this bun shop.

The waiter didn't dare to neglect, immediately took off the towel on his shoulders, vigorously wiped the tables and stools in the shed, and asked Li Wuchang to sit down, with a flattering appearance, nodding and bowing.

Then he walked up to the little beggar, waved his fist, and shouted: "You little beggar, get out of here, you bumped into Mr. Li, and you don't know how you died."

Li Wuchang didn't sit down, walked to the waiter and said: "Go and get some delicious food first, get more."

The buddy immediately went to prepare, thinking in his heart that he didn't know how to drive away this little beggar, but Li Er stunned came.

There were also quite a few people around waiting to watch the show, and some of them couldn't bear it, thinking that this little beggar was probably in danger.

This year, the snowstorm was severe, and many victims went to the city to beg for food. Many beggars died every day, and every morning, people from the government took the corpses away and burned them.

The little beggar was only five or six years old, and he couldn't tell whether it was a boy or a girl. His face was dirty, his lips were blue from the cold, and he was wearing a ragged little dress in the cold weather. His arms were as thin as firewood sticks exposed in the air. In the middle of the day, he was wearing a pair of very worn-out cloth shoes, his toes were exposed, and he had chilblains, making him extremely shabby.

Li Wuchang squatted down and looked at the little beggar, and the little beggar also looked at Li Wuchang, with deep fear and numbness in his dark and bright eyes.

Feeling sore in his heart, Li Wuchang showed a smile, and said softly: "Brother, can I treat you to a steamed stuffed bun?"

The little beggar stared blankly, looked at Li Wuchang expectantly, and murmured: "I want to eat buns..."

Li Wuchang took out his handkerchief, wiped the little beggar's face, held the little beggar's hand, put it near his mouth, blew on the heat, took off his coat, wrapped the little beggar's body, and picked him up Sit on the stool.

The little beggar looked confused, stared at Li Wuchang blankly, couldn't say a word, only felt that the big brother in front of him was really a good person, and his body also warmed up.

Many shopkeepers, shopkeepers, and passers-by who knew Li Wuchang were also dumbfounded.

They thought that Li Wuchang was going to beat the little beggar with his hands, and they thought in their hearts that the little beggar must be dead, so they didn't know that the plot would develop like this.

The clerk at the bun shop was stunned, not daring to step forward with his snacks in hand.

"You haven't served it yet, what are you doing in a daze?" Li Wuchang shouted loudly.

The man then put the things on the table and said tremblingly, "Mr. Li, use it slowly, use it slowly."

There were a lot of things, including meat buns, steamed buns, millet porridge, various snacks, tea soup, the little beggar stared at the table full of food, swallowed his saliva, but dared not take it, and glanced at Li Wuchang.

Li Wuchang picked up a big meat bun, broke it in half, handed it to the little beggar, smiled and nodded at him.

The little beggar carefully stretched out his small hand from his robe this time, took the half meat bun and stuffed it into his mouth, gobbled it up, and ate half of the meat bun in an instant, then raised his head to look at Li Wuchang.

"You can take whatever you want, eat slowly, and don't choke." Li Wuchang said gently, took a coarse-grain steamed bun, and chewed slowly.

Then the little beggar picked up another meat bun and bit it hard, his eyes glowed green, he was really hungry, Li Wuchang was afraid that he would choke, so he took a bowl of hot soup and put it in front of the little beggar, Said: "Drink the soup first, don't choke."

On the second floor of the restaurant opposite the bun shop, there is a seat by the window. There are two eyes looking at the scene opposite downstairs. The owners of the eyes are two young girls dressed up as tomboys, wearing samurai uniforms, and wearing a tie on their heads. A heroic man with a bun.

Most of the people in the restaurant knew these two tomboys, they were the eldest daughter of the Guo family, Guo Yunling, and her maid.

In the city, everyone knows that Guo Hongyi, the richest man in Chang'an, has a pair of sons and daughters under his knees, and he is very famous.

His son, Guo Yunlei, is one of the "Five Princes of Chang'an" and is a well-known young talent.

Daughter Guo Yunling is one of the most beauties in Chang'an City, and more importantly, she is capable of both civil and military skills. "Li Er Leng" had been fixed by her no less than ten times, and Li Wuchang secretly called her "the devil".

"Isn't that Li Er's idiot? Why is he so kind?" Guo Yunling looked at the abnormal scene downstairs, frowned, pursed her mouth, and asked her maid Xiaocui in doubt.

Xiao Cui obviously had a very bad impression of Li Wuchang, so she curled her lips and said, "Miss, this servant reckons that Mr. Li has no good intentions, and must be holding back some bad water."

"Ms. Ben wants to see what he wants to do. Hmph, I was taught a lesson by His Highness the Third Highness. I thought he would be able to settle down for a few days... Let's follow and see." Guo Yunling was very angry, and she felt that Li Wuchang was just a The bad seed that remembers to eat but not to kill, has not been seen for a few days, and then came out to make trouble again.

After finishing the bill, he got up and went downstairs, brought Xiaocui to a shop next to the steamed stuffed bun shop, and secretly stared at Li Wuchang.

She saw Li Wuchang looking at the little beggar with a gentle smile, serving the little beggar to eat meat buns, and serving soup and water.

In her impression, Li Wuchang always raised his head when he walked, always squinted his eyes when looking at people, and even if he was beaten, he still looked rebellious. Never saw Li Wuchang being so gentle.

What Xiaocui said is right, this kid is definitely holding back, maybe he wants to sell this little beggar, otherwise he would be so good?Smile so brightly, hum, smiling tiger.

Guo Yunling thought bitterly and continued to observe.

After waiting for a while, Li Wuchang muttered to the little beggar for a while, it was too far away to hear clearly, then he saw him take out a bank note from his lapel and hand it to the treasurer of the bun shop, patted him on the shoulder and gave some instructions. What, the shopkeeper and the clerk clasped their hands together and bowed in respect. The clerk took out another cloth bag and packed a lot of steamed buns and steamed buns, tied them up and handed them to Li Wuchang.

Li Wuchang got up, picked up the smiling little beggar in his right hand, and walked towards the east of the city with a cloth bag in his left hand.

Guo Yunling hurriedly greeted Xiao Cui, and tiptoed over.
