Chapter 191 Trading is also a practice(1/2)
Although the Changsheng Bridge has been broken, Chen Ping'an will definitely be unable to practice for the time being, but there are many swordsmen in the world, and there are even great masters who are known as swordsmen and gods. They can also fight against Qi practitioners who can move mountains and seas.
The purest martial artist in the world, the most elegant and elegant one, is always a swordsman. Two martial arts masters with similar strength, identity, appearance and bearing, one uses fists and the other uses a long sword. In the end, the latter is more likeable.
Using fists can either hit the opponent to the flesh and make the opponent's skin burst open, or even punch someone so hard that their skulls will explode and their intestines will explode. How can it compare to using a sword?
Origin: Ten thousand people are brave, taking advantage of this life's glory. Laughing down a glass of wine, killing people in the city.
Now that you have mastered the art of swordsmanship, you can kill dragons wherever they appear.
Chic or not? Romantic or romantic? Of course!
Even a boring and old-fashioned person like Chen Ping'an couldn't help but be fascinated when he heard Cui Dongshan reciting this poem by the cliff and the river.
Chen Pingan had been practicing boxing before, and at least he had a book that could shake the mountain. Even if Miss Ning didn't like it, it still pointed out a path for Chen Pingan to practice martial arts.
Then to practice swordsmanship, there should be something like the Sword Classic. Otherwise, Chen Ping'an felt that with his little talent and understanding, he would probably practice forever and still not be able to become a master.
This made Chen Pingan a little worried.
Outside the bamboo building, someone came from afar, holding a bamboo stick and a peach charm hanging on his waist. He shouted loudly: "Chen Pingan."
Chen Pingan, who was worried on the second floor, turned around and replied loudly: "Brother Li, why are you here?"
Chen Pingan ran all the way downstairs.
Li Xisheng took Cui Ci, a young man who was considered a half-disciple, to climb Luolu Mountain to look for Chen Ping'an, the owner of the mountain.
Li Xisheng took off the peach charm from his waist and said straight to the point: "I may have to leave the town, so I came here quickly and gave you something to save you from being in a hurry and unable to speak clearly."
Chen Ping'an did not reach out to pick it up, not because he was worried that the man in front of him had evil intentions, but because he was used to receiving no reward for no reward, and he really didn't have the nerve to take things for free.
Li Xisheng said: "My brother Li Baozhen, do you know?"
Chen Pingan nodded.
Li Xisheng said: "He secretly instigated Zhu Lu's attempt to commit murder in Pillow Station. Of course he was wrong. When I knew it, it was already too late to stop him. Li Baozhen has not been a person willing to admit his mistakes since he was a child, but there is no way. He is Baoping
Second brother, I am his eldest brother, and a family is a family. Since he has done something wrong and is unwilling to repent, he has no choice but to make up for it on his behalf."
Li Xisheng saw the dark-skinned young man who was still silent and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's just talk about the matter. This peach charm is only related to the assassination. After I leave the town, you have to be careful. Li Baozhen, if you firmly gain the upper hand, Chen Pingan
, I implore you to give him a chance to live and give him a chance to change his mind, just once."
"Of course, if the situation is evenly matched and the situation is dangerous and life-and-death, you should not show mercy. Self-preservation is the top priority in everything."
Chen Pingan thought carefully for a moment and said slowly: "Okay!"
Li Xisheng handed out the peach charm with a warm smile, "In that case, just accept it with peace of mind. It's just a small thing, not worth mentioning."
"Brother Li, you don't have to give me anything, and don't worry, I will definitely do what I promise you."
Chen Ping'an waved his hand and said with a smile: "The things that Brother Li can travel such a long way to deliver must be very precious. And..."
Having said that, Chen Ping'an won't say anything more.
In fact, A Liang once mentioned that the real great opportunity in Lizhu Cave Heaven still lies in Fulu Street and Taoye Lane.
Intuition told Chen Ping'an that it might be related to Li Xisheng's peach charm.
Seeing the boy's unusual insistence, Li Xisheng hesitated and asked, "Can we talk alone?"
————
After Longquan was promoted from a county to a county, the original name of Longquan County, a special county with a dragon spirit, was changed to the relatively ordinary Huaihuang County. The county government was set up in the area north of the mountains, and the county government was still located above the small town. The county magistrate
He is a young official named Yuan. Unlike his predecessor Wu Yuan, who was a hands-on magistrate, Yuan County Magistrate rarely showed up. But the strange thing is that before Wu Yuan was promoted to Wu County Magistrate, many matters were stagnant, such as the selection of the site for Lao Porcelain.
The construction of the civil and military temples in Shanshan and Shenxian Tombs has been carried out in an orderly manner, so many people feel that Wu Yuan's promotion of this embroidered pillow is unreasonable.
The newly appointed kiln supervisor is a young man who is about the same age as Magistrate Cao. His surname is Cao, which is also a surname from the Shangzhu Kingdom. For example, Magistrate Yuan, who has seen the dragon but never seen its tail, is more willing to show his face. Not only does the governor Cao
He took the initiative to visit the wealthy family in Taoye Lane, Fulu Street, and the school founded by the Chen family in Longwei County. You can often see this person, especially the teaching of Li Xisheng, the assistant teacher of the school. Cao Duzao will teach whenever he is free.
I went to the auditorium, took off my official uniform, put on my Confucian shirt, and sat at the end of the school majestically, in the same room with a lot of Mengtong children, and never felt embarrassed.
The east post road in Huaihuang County, the post closest to the county town, is called Huaizhai Post. It is not large, but although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, and the five post horses are all second-class war horses. This is compared to the small posts in other counties.
As far as the inn is concerned, it is simply a dream.
Today, a group of distinguished guests came to the Huaizhai Inn. In the early morning, the county governor Wu Yuan drove over from the western county, bringing only two of his close confidants, the civil and military secretary Lang, and then County Magistrate Yuan arrived in a car to see them.
When Shangguan Wu Yuan was waiting next to the post road, he didn't even want to say hello. He walked straight into the post station, asked for a pot of tea, and sat there to drink himself.
After that, Cao Duzao rode up alone, smelling of alcohol. He staggered off his horse, burped with wine, and led the horse away. He was probably drunk last night and sobered up again this morning. After meeting Wu Yuan
, hurriedly patted his clothes vigorously to dispel the smell of wine, led his horse to the Lord Sheriff, bowed with a smile and saluted, "Your Majesty, Cao Mao, pays homage to the Lord Sheriff."
Wu Yuan was promoted to a high official, but he did not show any proud attitude. He said politely: "Cao Duzao is an official directly under the yamen of the Ministry of Rites. There is no need to bow when you see me."
Cao Mao, the superintendent of kiln affairs, has a smile on his face, a face like a crown jewel, and a slender figure. He is worthy of being the handsome "Yushu of the Cao family". His words and demeanor make people feel like spring breeze.
, you have to be more respectful. Besides, if Mr. Wu becomes the Yuan family's son-in-law, he will become even more powerful in the officialdom. I don't dare to be negligent in the slightest."
Cao Mao maintained a very low profile, but spoke freely. These words were very inconsistent with official rules. In fact, he did not have much respect for Wu Yuan, a feudal official in charge of a large county.
This is not surprising. Cao Mao, as the eldest son of the Cao family who had high hopes, had enough reasons not to like Wu Yuan, the son-in-law of the Yuan family.
The two surnames of the capital, Yuan and Cao, were originally sworn in-laws and family friends. Over the past hundred years, they have become incompatible. Their respective ancestors, who helped the two families shine, were firm allies who fought side by side all their lives, and they are even more important to the world.
The key pillars of the rise of Li, together with Cao Hang and Yuan Xun, were from the same hometown of Zhuguo, so they were praised by history books as "a collusion, both civil and military". There are still many legendary deeds in the countryside and markets of Dali.
,Widespread.
Nowadays, all door gods within the jurisdiction of Longquan County are under unified regulations. The pair of civil and military door gods are actually the portraits of Cao Hang and Yuan Xie, the ancestors of the Yuan and Cao families.
As for each of the two families allowing their direct descendants to come here to serve as officials, it is unclear whether there was guidance from the masters on the mountain, or whether they had the idea of accepting some ancestors. After all, the old locust tree has collapsed and all its branches have been destroyed.
, the locust leaves are all gone, it is hard to say whether there is any ancestral locust shade left in this "Longxing Land" where the two surnames of Yuan and Cao are located.
Soon several more people came together, all of them elderly people.
There is an old woman from the Zhao family holding a cane. Her grandson Zhao Yao, as Qi Jingchun's school boy, had already taken an ox cart away from home before the accident in the town.
There is also the introverted ancestor of the Li family. After the ban on Lizhu Cave Heaven dissipated, the old man successfully entered the ten realms and earned two benevolent officials for the family. However, the eldest grandson Li Xisheng refused, and Li Baozhen chose to accept.
Taking advantage of the situation, he became one of the clear officials.
There is only one spot left, so I have to "left it aside". Anyway, it can be reserved for promising descendants of the Li family.
There is also a short old man who lives in a house at the corner of Taoye Lane. He has a kind face and kind eyes. When Chen Pingan helped send home letters, the old man also wanted to invite the young man to drink water at home, but the mud-legged man who was born in Mud Bottle Lane did not dare to agree.
The remaining old men are also the heads of the four surnames and ten clans in the town. They hold varying numbers of dragon kilns, a large amount of fertile land and ordinary hills. They are the real wealthy locals in the town.
An old man in a Confucian shirt with a high crown on his head gently lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage. The old man squinted his eyes and looked around, and everyone immediately felt a suffocating power coming towards them.
The shadow of the famous tree.
This old man has countless titles that contain great power. He is the first disciple of Literary Saint, Qi Jingchun's senior brother, Grand Master of Dali, Confucian saint, and the national Go player who held a hand-to-hand conversation with the Lord of Baidi City, Yu Caiyun...
Dongbaopingzhou is the smallest of the nine continents in the world, but the appearance of Cui Han, the national master, helped this small continent attract the attention of many big figures behind the scenes.
After Cui Chang got off the bus and made his reservation, everyone bowed and saluted in unison.
When everyone slowly stood up and looked up, they were surprised to find that behind the powerful old man, a beautiful girl dressed as a palace maid walked out, which caught some insiders off guard.
Cui Chan said calmly: "Everyone, go back."
No one dared to raise objections or even show the slightest resentment.
Cui Chan rubbed a jade pendant around his waist with both fingers and walked towards Huaizhai Inn. The girl followed him with an indifferent expression.
Cui Chan sat down at a table and asked the postman to bring three jars of wine. When Yi Cheng and his men walked over with the jars of wine, their mouths were all dry.
Cui Han waved his hand to prevent those people from waiting around. He opened the wine seal himself and at the same time pressed his palm down to signal the girl standing at the table to sit down. He smiled and said: "Don't be too formal. This trip is going to be smooth sailing."
I'm just escorting you, you are the master of this little world."
Cui Chan picked up the big white bowl and took a sip of the mediocre country wine. He didn't care about it. When he rebelled against his master, he traveled around the world with one man and one sword. He never suffered any hardships. Cui Chan always thought that he could endure the hardships.
, and also enjoyed blessings, so I can live to this day.
Cui Chan looked at the embarrassed girl and asked with a smile: "Zhigui, what you said to Qin Tianjian is recorded. I have read every word carefully. Are there any stories you haven't told yet?"
? Anything trivial will do. For example, when Xie Shi and Cao Xi were young, did they have interesting peers around them? Or, for example, who suffered a disaster but survived, and who was particularly isolated since childhood? "
It turns out that the girl is the maid of the Great Li Prince Song Jixin, Zhigui, and the natal king Zhu. Her real body is weird, and she is actually a bead made from the soul of the last real dragon in the world.
Zhigui thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No."
Cui Chan couldn't help but laugh, but he wasn't angry and continued drinking alone.
Not long after, three people walked into the inn, Cao Xi, a wealthy man, Xie Shi, a dull man, and Xu Ruo, a Mohist ranger.
The two big shots who walked out of Lizhu Cave saw the girl and confirmed the aura on her body. Cao Xi was slightly dazed, then laughed loudly and pointed at the girl, "It's so shameful to leave it to grandma's house.
The guy who scared me half to death turned out to be such a weak and weak girl."
Xie Shi clasped his hands in his fists, bent down to the girl and said, "Xie Shi from Taoye Lane, thank you for your two life-saving graces!"
