The matter at the porridge shop and medicine shop has been resolved. Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye thought they would continue on their way to the border of Shihao Country as before. There were two men with backgrounds in the border army. Their last wishes were related to this. People can no longer return to their roots. Wish
But he ended up in his hometown.
But Chen Pingan stayed for another day, until that day at dusk, he stopped at the city gate and watched a thin black boy leave the county from a distance, and then went to see the closed dog meat shop in the back alley.
On both sides, there were two door gods, Da Li and Yuan Cao, holding sceptres and maces. Chen Pingan then returned to the inn.
Earlier at the city gate, Chen Pingan met Guan Yiran, a monk accompanying the army of Da Li. The latter deliberately left his followers and stood alone with Chen Pingan at the city gate. He asked softly: "Are you fishing for big fish with a long line?"
, let the tiger go back to the mountain temporarily, so that you can find the place where this little demon can find enlightenment, and find one or two opportunities for fairy objects? Or is it like this, let this little demon go away, and treat it as a good relationship? "
If the Shanze spirit monster can transform into a human form, he must have a great blessing. Either he accidentally entered the deserted fairy cave, or he swallowed the miraculous Ganoderma lucidum that condenses the spiritual energy of the world. No matter which one it is, the former will follow the clues, and the latter will directly refine it.
Transforming that monster into a monster is a huge windfall.
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's the latter."
Guan Yiran said regretfully: "It's a pity. If you hadn't shown up, I have two colleagues who shouted every day that they couldn't open the pot. They would have been eyeing this little monster hiding in the dog meat shop. But since you intervened, I will persuade him
The fact that they gave up was just an extra step. In fact, they still have military affairs to attend to. Of course, if you choose the former, you can do it together."
Chen Ping'an asked: "Wouldn't my intervention reduce the income of your colleagues? Will it make it difficult for you to be a good person?"
Guan Yiran smiled and said: "Those two friends and I, although we are cultivators, are actually more members of the Great Li Army. So your words and this intention are enough. When you are away from home, it is rare to meet your hometown.
You don’t have to be so polite, but you can be a little polite. It’s best if you have it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have it. At worst, if you meet me in the future, you will pretend not to know him. Everything will be in accordance with our Dali laws and military regulations.”
Chen Ping'an thought deeply and said: "It's right."
Guan Yiran laughed heartily, "I'm very happy to meet such a promising member of my family in a place like this, so far away from my hometown."
Chen Ping'an cupped his fists and said, "It's inconvenient for me to reveal my identity now. As long as there is a chance in the future, I will definitely drink with Brother Guan."
Guan Yiran, the secretary general of Da Liwu, raised his arms, clenched his fists, and tapped the iron armor on his chest, "Then I really remembered it! I agreed in advance that my brother was saved by me on the battlefield, and it doesn't matter if he owes me his life.
I only owe Guan Yiran wine, and even I, the King of Heaven, can't do it!"
This chance encounter between fellow countrymen in a foreign land made everyone happy even after separation.
The young man in the green cotton robe was far away from the city gate, and two monks accompanying the army, wearing light armor specially made by the Great Li arsenal, came slowly, one a strong young man and the other a delicate woman.
The woman looked at Guan Yiran, who seemed to be unfinished, and asked: "Yiran, the beginning of spring this year is not a good sign. You have lost so much fairy money in vain, and you are still so happy?"
Guan Yiran chuckled and said, "I'm happy. Money can't buy it for me. I'm happy."
The strong man said: "A young monk who can easily give away a small summer coin has nothing to do with that little demon. Instead, he deliberately walks all the way to the city gate and adds a porridge shop and medicine shop that he previously opened in the city.
According to intelligence reports, this is not the case in one city or one place, but everywhere. If it had been anyone else, I wouldn’t have believed that the mountain monk had such a Bodhisattva heart. But if it had been this person, looking at his words and deeds, it would make sense. I think Yi Ran did it.
That’s right, I’m from my hometown, so it’s not a loss to be a friend worth drinking with.”
The young woman with a graceful figure but carrying a giant sword complained: "You men, you are all such a bird. When you meet someone who meets your taste, you like to swollen your face and look fat. Is that the case?"
Guan Yiran said seriously: "Miss Qi, I don't like it when you talk about us men like this. I have much more money in Yushanfang. I don't need to be slapped in the face. Who said that I am a dandy who comes from a wealthy family?"
, even your farts smell like copper?"
"Ivory things cannot come out of a dog's mouth!" The woman, who was as slender as a spring willow, punched Guan Yiran on the shoulder, causing Guan Yiran to stagger back a few steps. The woman turned and walked back to the city.
Guan Yiran grinned and rubbed his shoulder. It really hurt. He smiled bitterly, while the strong man named Yu Shanfang looked gloating.
The woman is a military monk from Fengxue Temple. Compared to Zhenwushan monks who are mostly senior military attachés in the Great Li Cavalry, the woman surnamed Qi does not have this opportunity. She just chose another career path, but the Great Li
The border troops were not surprised by this. Most of the military monks in Fengxue Temple were like this. After coming down from the mountain, they liked to be solitary rangers. Occasionally, there were women like this who also served as personal followers of some important generals.
Yu Shanfang put his arm around Guan Yiran's shoulders and whispered: "Yiran, after all these years, I have known you for seven or eight years, but I still only think that you are a young general from the capital.
You are a high-ranking and low-ranking disciple, otherwise you wouldn't have been thrown into such a shabby place by your family. You stayed there for nearly three years and have been the lowest-ranking monk in our frontier army. You have a Beijing accent, don't you know?
How annoying. On the contrary, it is Qi Qi, whom we have only known each other for two years, and we are just going south together this time, but she is the only one who can see through your family background and insists that you are a son of a wealthy family. Why? We are all in this group together.
Old brothers who have pooped on their buttocks in the snow, don’t really believe it. Could it be that you two have..."
After Yu Shanfang broke away from Guan Yiran, he pressed his thumbs with both hands and winked at the latter.
Guan Yiran said helplessly: "Who doesn't know that this Qi Qi has long admired her uncle, the swordsman Wei Jin, who is from the Fengxue Temple family?"
Guan Yiran sighed, "And I already have a fiancée. To tell you the truth, she is really the legitimate daughter of a noble family in the capital. It's just that I have never met her. It's funny to think that the day I get married and lift off the red hijab,
Only then can you know what your wife looks like."
Yu Shanfang asked nicely: "Which family's unlucky girl is responsible for a real frontier army man like you?"
"I don't think you can kill your brothers like you." Guan Yiran pressed the hilt of the Dali Border Army's standard sword with one hand, and walked side by side with Yu Shanfang on the streets of a foreign country. He looked around, and on both sides of the streets, almost all of them had posters with banners posted on them.
There are two painted door gods of Li and Yuan Cao, and there are so many surnames of Zhuguo in Dali. Of course, the two surnames Yuan and Cao are the surnames of Dali that deserve to be the great surnames. However, there are actually other Zhuguo surnames that can compete with the two surnames of Yuan and Cao.
There are two, but one lives in the mountains and barely cares about secular affairs. His surname is Yu. The other only works in the court and has never been involved in the frontier army. His ancestral home is in Yizhou and later moved to the capital. It has been two hundred years. Every year, the direct descendants of this family
Returning to one's hometown to worship ancestors is something that even the Dali Ministry of Rites pays attention to. Even the Dali Imperial Master once joked with His Majesty the Emperor that a hundred years ago, during that time, eunuchs were involved in politics, relatives were monopolizing power, vassal towns were rebelling, and monks were looting in turn.
During the tragic years when the entire Da Li was in the most chaotic and disordered state, if this family had not turned the tide and worked diligently as the tailors of the Da Li Dynasty, Da Li would have collapsed to pieces.
Yu Shanfang intertwined his hands and fingers, stretched forward, stretched his muscles, and the joints of his body crackled. Due to many personal karma, this half-wild man was promoted step by step from a low-level scout in the border army to a military secretary.
"Cultivation", casually said: "Actually, sometimes, when we old brothers drink and chat, we will feel that you are different from us, but what is the difference, and we can't explain the reason, there is no way, we can't allocate money
The young generals who have been forced into the army, we are all guys who wash our eyes every day due to the wind and sand on the border. We all have poor eyesight, and we are far inferior to those young officials."
Guan Yiran smiled and said: "I recognize three types of friends. The battlefield, those who dare to say that they will die, the officialdom, the scholars with real character, and finally the... good people of the mountain."
Guan Yiran was a little sad, "It's a pity that the first and third types don't seem to live long. Needless to say, in the battlefield, after so many years of life and death, after the death of our best brother, we will no longer be like each other."
Like a girl, I cry until I die. The third type is, I used to know a young man named Yu Yin, a peer who I particularly admire. What a good method, it is so good that it will make you feel... the world is no longer good.
No matter how bad it is, it's enough to have him in front, talking and doing things. You only need to look at the back of that person getting away, and you will feel happy. But such a good cultivator died so badly.
It's not worth it. The family that has high hopes for him and our court chose to turn big things into trivial matters for the sake of the overall situation. I think this is wrong, but will those big shots listen to what a little guy like me, Guan Yiran, says?
No. Even if...my surname is Guan."
Yu Shanfang smiled and said: "What's wrong with the surname Guan? Isn't it amazing? It's not the Guan family in Yunzai County, which is one of the Zhu Kingdoms! Your household registration in the army clearly states that you are from the capital, and our general
What kind of virtue are you still unclear about? I have already turned over your details and told us that you are a member of the third-rate general family in the capital, not to mention that Zhu Guo and Zhu Guo are neighbors, and Shangshu quarreled with Shangshu across the wall.
In Yichi Alley, even in the general's Chi'er Street, your family is not qualified to have a small courtyard. Why, your boy is related to this Yun Zaijun Guan family? Because General Liu, the old lord and his sworn enemy,
Back then, I found out of nowhere that a young scout under my command turned out to be a low-profile second-rate general in the capital. His ancestors had been second-rate generals, and he also received a posthumous title that made people drool. Our general
I feel like I have been overpowered by General Liu, and I am dreaming every day now, thinking that there is a first-rate general cub secretly hidden in the cub I brought out, which makes me laugh to death."
Guan Yiran hesitated for a moment, "If I die one day, our general may cry, laugh and scold me."
Yu Shanfang was shocked and said: "What, are you really a descendant of the Guan family whose ancestral home is in Yizhou?"
Guan Yiran nodded and said: "Yizhou Yun is from the Guan family in the county. I am a great-great-grandson. There is nothing I can do. Although my ancestors are not cultivators, their muscles and bones are very strong. He is a hundred years old and can still drink a pound in one meal.
I drank two kilograms of meat with wine, and when the Imperial Master saw it, he was surprised."
Yu Shanfang rolled his eyes and said, "I believe you, you idiot! If you could have met Cui Guoshi, I would have met His Majesty the Emperor!"
Guan Yiran chuckled, "I told you, whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter to me anyway."
Yu Shanfang said suspiciously: "Really?"
Guan Yiran smiled and nodded, "I'm not going to lie to you. You still remember that during the New Year's Eve of the year before last, I took leave and returned to Beijing. Qi Qi said that she had followed the preacher and went to the capital in the first month of the year, maybe in
In that Yuhua Lane or Chier Street, I was going door to door to pay New Year greetings, so Qi Qi glanced at me unintentionally, but the rules in those two places were strict, and Qi Qi did not dare to follow me. Of course, that
Qi Qi didn't know me at that time, so there was no need to explore my identity."
Yu Shanfang quietly reached out and wanted to touch Guan Yiran's head in a sneaky way.
Guan Yiran tilted his head and said with an angry smile: "What are you doing? Are you missing me so much that you think you are Qi Qi?"
Yu Shanfang rubbed his hands and said: "I have never touched a big shot in my life. I want to get addicted to it. Tsk, tsk, tsk, Guan clan of Zhuguo! I will get you drunk tonight, and I will touch you enough by then. Call out to the old brothers.
,one by one."
Guan Yiran said with a smile: "If you can do this kind of immoral thing, I will go and marry the younger sister who I told you will be a fairy daughter. Then I will call you brother-in-law every day."
Yu Shanfang kicked Guan Yiran in the butt.
Guan Yiran received the kick and did not hide.
The two continued to walk side by side.
Yu Shanfang suddenly sighed, "You should talk about this matter when the brothers leave, even if you tell them secretly."
To be continued...
