Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 581 The Birth of a Hero ([-])

Because they were under their feet, they could not wait for the soles of their feet to smoke. It took Guan Jiumin and his wife more than a quarter of an hour to come to this small town next to the official road.

The town is not big, and there is only an inn that also operates accommodation and top-notch inns.

So, if the rumors about Xuan Ge Ying and Hu Biao's gang leader are true, then they must be here.

When the two of them reached the door, they saw a young man with a hat on his head, a strange long knife hanging on his waist, and a red cloak behind him.

He just opened his mouth, showing a smile with eight white teeth, while bowing his hands to the two of them.

He said in his mouth: "I have seen two heroes, and I am grateful to my comrades in the world. They gave me the nickname 'The Proud Hunter and Singer'. On behalf of the Xuan Geying, I am here to welcome you fellows in the world.

I don’t know the names of the two heroes, who they are, and what their titles are~”

"The Proud Stalker? What a weird name, why does it sound so uncomfortable." After looking at each other, Guan Jiumin and Zhang Kui found that the other party must have such thoughts in their minds.

It's just that as qualified Jianghu people, the two of them naturally knew that 'Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about the ways of the world'.

There was no strangeness on the face, they all clasped their fists together in salute, and said loudly:
"It turned out to be the famous 'Proud Hunter and Singer' in the world. He has known his name for a long time, and as expected, it is better to meet him than to be famous, and his demeanor is even better.

People in the Jianghu are called 'One Sword Breaks the Mountain Guan Jiumin', this is my brother, people in the Jianghu are called 'Sai Zhang Fei Zhang Kui'~"

"Long-awaited, long-awaited~" the singer also cupped his hands in salute, and said so in his mouth; and waved his hand: "The store has prepared some bouillon and side dishes, you two can help yourself~"

After the two listened, they immediately walked towards the store.

Only after walking two or three steps, a resounding sentence came from behind: "'One knife breaks the mountain Guan Jiumin', Sai Zhangfei and Zhang Kui', two heroes are here~"

Just hearing this sentence, the two of them straightened their backs even more, and their chests also stood up high.

In my heart, I no longer feel that there is anything weird about the title of 'Proud Stalker', what is left is only an indescribable great affection.

I feel that the people in the Xuan Ge camp are generous in their actions and nice in their words, they are indeed good friends.

It's just that they didn't know that this was just the beginning...

After Guan Jiumin and Zhang Kui brothers walked into the inn, another man who claimed to be 'Shooting the Tiger and the Old Snake' came up to him.

The two of them found two seats for them to sit in the store where dozens of people from the rivers and lakes were already sitting.

On this table, there were men who looked like beggars, drummers and woodcutters, all of them were blushing, and their mouths were full of grease.

After sitting down, before everyone had a bowl together, they naturally introduced each other, and they all said "I have long admired your name" in their mouths.

The problem is, at this moment.

After seeing the big pot with at least a dozen catties of cooked beef in the middle of the table, Guan Jiumin and the two couldn't take anything else in their hearts.

In the following time, perhaps it was because the last time I ate beef was years ago.

Guan Jiumin and Zhang Kui let go of their stomachs. After a big mouthful of beef, they paired it with a mouthful of wine. They were so happy.

What was even more joyful was that after the bowl of cooked beef was finished, the waiter in the shop brought up a large bowl of mutton.

In the Song Dynasty, mutton is cheaper than beef, but it is still a rare good meat.

But Hu Biao and Hu Sect Leader of "Blood Hand Rentu" came to the table with two heroines, "Pink Raksha Concubine" and "Jade Faced Fox Ali", with an apologetic expression on their faces.

He said in his mouth: "This place is too remote, I can only find a hundred catties of beef, and I have no choice but to use some pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks to make up for it. I have neglected all heroes.

Hu and his two female disciples here offer a bowl to everyone, as an apology. "

After finishing speaking, together with the two heroines, they picked up a large bowl full of wine at least, and drank it all in one gulp in front of everyone, full of pride.

More importantly, the two heroines had picturesque eyebrows, and they were the most beautiful women Guan Jiumin had ever seen in his life.

Seeing that the two of them were smiling, they were drunk even if they didn't even drink this bowl of toast.

After a lot of eating and drinking, Guan Jiumin and Zhang Kui were already completely drunk, and they were immediately "Shaking the Mountain Elephant and War Elephant" by a heroine who was probably over seven feet tall.

They were easily lifted one by one in each hand, and they were sent to a room on the second floor to rest.

Xiao Er followed and sent their weapons and luggage into the room.

When the War Elephant, who was taller than the two of them by a head, dropped a small purse and said:

"I'm going to be on my way soon, the rent here has been paid until tomorrow, the two of you can take a rest.

Since ancient times, comrades in the rivers and lakes have the meaning of making money, so a little ritual can be regarded as a small favor of my Xuan Ge camp. "

Under the strong feeling of drinking, Guan Jiumin touched the money bag, and he could feel that there should be some broken silver in it, maybe there were as many as five taels.

Startled, he wanted to get up and thank him.

Helplessly, the strength of the wine surged up and down, and the whole body was extremely tired.

It could only be heard that after a short time, there was a sound of horseshoes outside the window. It should be that the Xuange camp had already left on fast horses.

At the same time, what reached his ears was a singing that followed the horse's hooves further away:
"The imperial winds of the four seas are covered, and the virtues and waters are clear for thousands of years; the military uniforms are not worn, and today they are successful. Looking back, Qinsai is as low as a horse, and gradually sees that the Yellow River flows straight north. Tianwei rolls directly to Yumensai, and thousands of miles of barbarian people are exhausted. Song……"

Even when it comes to rhythm, Guan Jiumin has seven apertures and six apertures, but he doesn't know anything at all.

But it can also be heard that the singing is full of rough guys like him, and they all feel that there is an indescribable heroism contained in it.

So much so that in his subsequent sleep, he was also full of gold and iron horses.

******
After eating and drinking enough, Guan Jiumin and Zhang Kui woke up after sleeping until dawn the next day. Immediately, they felt refreshed and exhausted from the long journey.

After I went downstairs, I knew it from the words in the mouths of other good guys who were eating big meat buns (baozi).

Xuan Geying, Gang Leader Hu and others not only paid the rent in advance, but even prepared and paid for the morning meal for them in advance.

Big buns stuffed with oily pork, just enough millet porridge until you are full.

When they were eating these court meals, everyone praised them mercilessly. Xuan Geying and Gang Leader Hu are really righteous people.

The kindness of a meal in ancient times, and the gracious hospitality of Chief Hu today, they naturally cannot forget; if they are driven in the future, even if it is a sea of ​​swords and fire, they will go there without hesitation.

At least at this moment, they think so.

After eating the morning food, the two brothers went straight out and started on their way.

Guan Jiumin and Zhang Kui walked a hundred steps into the town, when they suddenly heard the sound of reading aloud, reaching their ears.

It turned out that at this moment, a private school in the town had already started classes.

A group of immature children, led by an elderly private school teacher, are reading "Hundred Surnames" while shaking their heads.

Thinking of some news that he heard during the banquet yesterday; Guan Jiumin, under Zhang Kui's surprise, straightened his clothes, put down the big knife on his shoulder, and walked straight into the private school.

After saluting respectfully to the private school, he asked:
"Dare to ask the old man, do you ever know the origin of the Anxi Army in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty~"

"The Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty? Unexpectedly, after more than 400 years, a group of Jianghu men like you can still remember such an allusion." After hearing the words, the old man's eyes lit up.

Then he just grew up, and said to the group of children in the hall:

"Let's leave today's morning reading for now. Sir, I will tell you the stories of some old soldiers of my Han family under the Anxi Army in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, under a lonely city thousands of miles away..."

In the following time, as the old gentleman slowly talked about the past hundreds of years ago, Guan Jiumin burst into tears unknowingly after listening intently.

After the old gentleman finished speaking, he saluted solemnly again before turning around and preparing to leave.

It was also at this time that he realized that there were already dozens of people from the rivers and lakes standing behind him, all saluting the old gentleman with red eyes.

"Xuan Geying is loyal and loyal, and Hu Biao's gang leader is righteous and Bo Yuntian, so he can be called Hu Daxia."

This is the most real thought in Guan Jiumin and others' minds at the moment...

PS: Heroes of the Great Song Dynasty, don’t worry about the plot of the battle against the Mongolian Iron Cavalry, this needs to be brewed for a while; it’s unreasonable to go all out like this.
