Mr. Yangui

Chapter 44 More monks and less porridge
Just after the new year, Chang'an City, which had been silent for a while, regained its vitality.

It is only three months before the four-year martial arts conference. Young people who are interested in martial arts from all over the world come to Chang'an in advance to familiarize themselves with the environment, make friends, or secretly observe potential opponents.

The first things that get lively are the East and West cities.

There are many inns, restaurants, and brothels in the eastern and western cities, as well as various shops and weapon shops, which are good places to set up camp.

At this moment, the trio was walking on the streets of Xishi, stopping and going, admiring the bustle and bustle of the streets.

"Brother Xun, Minglun, do you think the three of us look like a group?" Li Wuchang casually asked Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun beside him, and his tone was very good.

It was Li Wuchang's idea to visit the West Market today, to relax and see what kind of business is available. Getting rich is a small ambition he set not long ago.

Hearing Li Wuchang's question, Zhao and Jiang felt a little strange.

Li Wuchang chuckled and said: "I, a typical second-generation ancestor, Ming Lun, is like a gold-medal thug next to the second-generation ancestor. As for brother Xun, he is well-informed and eccentric, rather like a dog-headed military advisor. "

Well, all three of them were ridiculed by him.

Zhao Xun laughed, and said: "You consider yourself the second generation ancestor, and I think many people in Chang'an City will not object. You say that I am a dog-headed military adviser, and I am also deeply honored, but Ming Lun is a bit inferior to be a gold medalist. , he is going to shine in the martial arts tournament."

Jiang Minglun said solemnly: "Gold medal thug, not bad... a fight with Jiangyang thief!"

As soon as this remark came out, both Li Wuchang and Zhao Xun burst out laughing.

Li Wuchang and Zhao Xun are two people who like to play tricks, but Jiang Minglun is a very disciplined person, sometimes he will appear rigid, but after many days of getting along, he is influenced by Li Wuchang and Zhao Xun Yes, and occasionally a joke or two pops up.

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "By the way, Minglun, you are familiar with Xishi. Is there any good restaurant worthy of our second ancestor's patronage?"

Zhao Xun and Li Wuchang both live in the east of the city, and they usually spend most of their activities in the vicinity of the East Market, so they are not familiar with the West Market.

Jiang Minglun thought for a while, and said: "There is a nice Longmen Restaurant, opened by Guo's family. The layout is good, and the food and drinks are decent. Many scholars and knight-errants like to patronize it. Go there. I will treat you this time."

Dragon Gate Restaurant?Alas, why not call it Longmen Inn? What a failure.

Li Wuchang silently chanted the name of the restaurant, and laughed in his heart.

Zhao Xun pondered for a while and said, "The carp leaps over the dragon's gate, what a good name!"

The layout of Longmen Restaurant is really extraordinary, there is a big stage in the middle, used for storytelling or various performances, surrounded by tables,
Clean and elegant.

There are also compartments with exquisite layout, where you can sit and drink and chat without being disturbed by outsiders, and you can also watch the performances in the middle.

Li Wuchang and the three of them came to a cubicle on the second floor under the leadership of the waiter. Zhao Xun rewarded the waiter casually, asking him to serve good wine and food as soon as possible.

On the stage in the middle, there was a young man who was talking about the young master of Chang'an City.

"...Let's talk about the five sons of Chang'an in detail just now, and then let's talk about other famous sons..."

The person who spoke was Hu Erniu, a celebrity from Longmen Restaurant, a servant of the Guo family, who called himself "Chang'an Tong", which meant that he knew more or less about the affairs of Chang'an City.

The Guo family saw that he was clever, so they arranged for him to work as a clerk in the Longmen Restaurant in West Market. This guy would occasionally act as a guest storyteller, telling some anecdotes about Chang'an City, and he was very popular.

In recent days, young knights from other places often come to the restaurant to drink together. Hu Erniu took the opportunity to talk about the celebrities in Chang'an who will participate in the martial arts conference.

Just after finishing talking about "Five Young Masters of Chang'an", the young knights who came to drink felt that their knowledge was greatly improved, and asked Hu Erniu to talk about other famous people.

"...In addition to the fifth son, the eldest son of Grandpa Han's family, Han Dade, is a rare all-round talent in civil and military affairs, but he is low-key, like Grandpa Han, everyone knows, this time The resettlement of the disaster victims is under the personal supervision of Mr. Han, he is really a good official..."

When everyone heard this, they all sighed with emotion, and spoke words of admiration.

"This Mr. Han Dade's martial arts is not low. It is said that he is not under the fifth son. Everyone should have a score in their hearts!"

Hearing that Han Dade's martial arts were so high, everyone exclaimed again, with the level of the Fifth Young Master, wouldn't this Young Master Han also have the strength close to the seventh rank?

Rank five can be called a top-notch master, and if you go out and be able to pull a small gang, it will be even more incredible if you are at the peak of rank six or even rank seven.

My God, Chang'an City is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. This Han Dade has never been conspicuous, and he is not well-known in Chang'an City, but he is so capable.

Maybe there are some great people hiding in the dark, ready to jump up and down in the martial arts conference. This is the thought in the hearts of all the young knights, and they are also feeling the pressure.

Hu Erniu felt complacent when he saw that his remarks had calmed everyone down, so he pressed his hand to calm everyone down.

Everyone immediately quieted down, waiting for Hu Erniu to continue.

"There are not a few young masters with excellent martial arts skills. They are all elite children of various big families in Chang'an City. Let’s talk about the son who doesn’t know martial arts.”

"What is there to say if you don't know martial arts?" Someone immediately objected. After all, they came to Chang'an to participate in the martial arts conference. Of course, they wanted to know more about how deep the water in Chang'an City is.

Hu Erniu glared at them, and said: "You can't say that. If there is a son who doesn't know martial arts and gets a reward from His Majesty, do you think he has the ability?"

Oh, what else?Everyone was puzzled.

"Who is he?" Someone asked.

Hu Erniu continued: "His reputation is much greater than the Han Dade mentioned just now. You may have heard that he is Li Wuchang, the fourth son of the Imperial Guard Commander's Mansion."

boom!
The scene exploded.

"What are you talking about, Li Wuchang? Although I haven't been in Chang'an City for a long time, I have heard of his name. I heard that he is a second-generation ancestor who specializes in trouble."

"Yes, I heard that he is a stunned young man, nicknamed Li Erlianzi."

"How could such a person be rewarded by His Majesty, you are right."

"Is that the concubine of the Li family who offended the Third Highness not long ago and was beaten up by the Third Highness?"

"Hmph, this kind of domineering person relying on the power of the family, sooner or later someone will take care of him, besides him, there is also a nicknamed Han Dasha, who is not a good person."

……

In the private room, Li Wuchang was dumbfounded, watching the uproarious scene, he couldn't laugh or cry, his reputation is really... too stinky.

Zhao Xun's stomach ached from laughing, raised his wine glass and winked at Li Wuchang, and said, "Come on, Second Generation Ancestor, I'll toast you a glass."

When Jiang Minglun heard these remarks, he glanced at Li Wuchang, and found that Li Wuchang didn't care at all, and he was still calm and calm, and he was very impressed.

Li Wuchang's temperament of not being surprised by favor or humiliation is much better than many so-called sons.

Hu Erniu looked at the messy scene, and said with a smile: "Everyone, listen to my brother first. It is said that Mr. Li Wuchang cured General Zhou Sheng's illness not long ago. If you think it is a big deal, Your Majesty should The reward?"

The fact that Li Wuchang cured Zhou Sheng's illness and received a reward from His Majesty was originally only known to a few people. Hu Erniu also accidentally heard his son Guo Yunlei mention it, so he used it to brag today.

As soon as this remark came out, there was a louder discussion among the crowd.

"What, you said he cured General Zhou's illness?"

"Didn't it be said that God Song healed him? How could it be him?"

"Song Miracle Doctor seems to have wandered off... But it can't be him?"

"If it is true that he cured General Zhou's illness, it would be justifiable to be rewarded by His Majesty."

"I heard that he can't read all the words, how can he know medicine? You need to read a lot of books to study medicine."

……

"Everyone, don't guess. Someone Su can testify that what this little brother said is true. General Zhou was indeed healed by that young master Li Wuchang."

After arguing for a long time, a young man in white got up and said something softly, and the voice accurately spread to every corner of the restaurant.

As soon as this remark came out, the hall immediately fell silent. It seemed that this young man had some prestige.

Jiang Minglun frowned and said, "What a deep inner strength!"

Zhao Xun said: "A child of the Su family in Jiangnan, Su Ming."

The Su family is a family of martial arts in the south of the Yangtze River. The current helm is Su Han, a ninth-rank junior master and a peerless swordsman. Su Ming is Su Han's nephew. He is regarded as one of the strongest opponents of the "Five Young Masters of Chang'an" who came to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament this time. .

"Since brother Su has said so, it seems to be true. I would like to meet Mr. Li and see if his medical skills are really so amazing." Another voice came from upstairs, a young man in blue .

The voice was soft, but it sounded like a tingling pain in the ears, which showed that this person's internal strength should not be underestimated either.

Li Wuchang said with emotion: "Another master, Brother Xun, do you know him?"

Zhao Xun took a closer look at the blue-clothed youth, and said, "It should be an elite student of the Hanshui Gang in Xiangyang. Look, there is a boat logo on his shoulder, which is the logo of the Hanshui Gang."

Jiang Minglun interjected, "Zhu Changxing, the youngest son of the leader of the Hanshui Gang, has recently been in the limelight in the west of the city. I heard that his martial arts are at the middle level of the sixth rank, and he is good at distinguishing poison from poison."

The gangs in Xiangyang City are powerful, and the Hanshui Gang is a first-class big gang.

Li Wuchang smiled and said: "Using poison? It is said that the Hanshui Gang has a lot of talents. It seems that what is said is true. A young gang leader came here at random, just like this. If there is an elder hall master or something like that, then it's okay?"

Zhao Xun sighed: "This year's Martial Arts Conference is indeed more attractive than before. In addition to the local sons of Chang'an, there are also the Jiangnan faction headed by Su Ming, and the Xiangyang faction dominated by the Hanshui Gang and Tianluo Gang. Many elites also came to the garrisons of Taiyuan and Luoyang, the Shu faction represented by the son of the king of Shu, and other famous big families in the nine states all sent their elite children."

After a pause, he continued: "It should be the Martial Arts Pavilion that attracted them. It is said that the court will increase the number of people entering the Martial Arts Pavilion this time. There will be about thirty people. It seems that it is not fake news."

Li Wuchang became interested, and said: "What good thing does Martial Arts Pavilion have that deserves such a big fight?"

Zhao Xun said: "I heard from my master that there are a lot of magical weapons and martial arts secrets in it. These are second to none. The most important thing is that I heard that there are very few pills in it, which are related to meridians and are worth a thousand gold. .”

"Tuo Jing Pill?" Li Wuchang asked.

Tuojing Dan is specially designed to expand the meridians, a drug that has been proven to be a drug that encourages the growth of seedlings, and it is very cheating.

Zhao Xun explained: "It's not Tuojing Pill, it should be called Hujing Pill, and one piece costs about 10 taels."

so expensive?
Li Wuchang frowned.

Zhao Xun continued: "From the fifth rank onwards, every rank and level is a bottleneck. If the meridian is not strong enough, it will be extremely dangerous every time it breaks through. Once the meridian cannot withstand the impact of true energy, it will go mad. Think about it, what is the concept of having a elixir protecting your meridians at this time."

Jiang Minglun said with emotion: "That's really a good thing. Before the sixth rank, every time I broke through, I just felt very painful all over my body, and it passed after I endured it. But when I broke through to the sixth rank, my body almost exploded. It seems that my meridians are not strong enough, and I am not strong enough to bear it."

It turned out to be the case.

Li Wuchang didn't expect much from this sutra protection pill, because his meridians were already strong enough.It was all because of that strange dream, in which my whole body exploded, which lasted for several hours, and my meridians were expanded to the greatest extent.

From the first rank to the fourth rank, Li Wuchang was different from ordinary people every time he broke through, and he didn't feel any pain at all.

Li Wuchang murmured: "With so many influences, thirty places are not enough?"

Zhao Xun was very calm and said: "Haha, Ming Lun should have a chance. After all, he is a sixth-grade mid-level strength. When the time comes, we will support him. If he can enter the Martial Arts Pavilion, no matter what he gets, it will be our honor. "

After a pause, he continued: "Fortunately, the imperial court has strict regulations. Those selected by the Martial Arts Conference to enter the Martial Arts Pavilion must be young people with amazing potential, and they must be under the age of 25. Otherwise, Minglun will not have any chance."

In this situation, there are really too many monks and too few porridge.

　Young Master Evil has something to do today, so let's put a chapter first, and if he can come back in time, there will probably be another chapter!
