Peach and plum spring breeze and a glass of wine

"It's the second watch. Close the doors and windows to prevent theft and theft..."

Yang Ge was sitting at the table, guarding a lone lamp. In front of him was the martial arts secret book that the bearded swordsman rewarded him with.

On the cover of the book, there are six characters "Eighteen Road Chaotic Wind Legs", flowing like clouds and flowing water, as graceful as a startled dragon!

Behind him, Wang Dali quickly installed the last door panel, turned around and rushed to Yang Ge excitedly, hugged his shoulders and said repeatedly: "Little brother, little brother, open your eyes, open your eyes." Open your eyes..."

Yang Ge glanced at him, silently stretched out his hand, and turned the secret book to Wang Dali.

Wang Dali reached out to flip through the secret book with his eyes shining.

"Snapped."

He slapped Wang Dali on the head, knocking his head crooked.

"Straight girl..."

Wang Dali turned around and stood up in anger, and saw shopkeeper Liu standing behind him with a dark face. He hurriedly swallowed the last word, covered his head and sat back on the stool: "Hey, shopkeeper, I'm here Aren't you having fun with your little brother?"

Shopkeeper Liu looked down at Wang Dali with an expressionless expression, and said in a strange tone: "Master Li, where are you? You are a big shot who wants to practice martial arts and become a hero. How can I and my little brother be fooling around with you?"

Wang Dali blushed with shame, lowered his head and replied in a loud voice: "I was wrong, I was really wrong, shopkeeper, please stop scolding me."

Shopkeeper Liu wanted to say something, but he couldn't get angry. He raised his hand and slapped Wang Dali's other half on the head again, knocking his head sideways again.

"You don't want to take a shit and take a look at what you are like. You still want to learn how to practice martial arts and become a hero? With your brains, you will be cheated to death when you go out, and when you get to the Lord of Hell, you still think that others are weird!"

Wang Dali covered his head and did not dare to say a word, but his eyes that kept turning to the secret book still betrayed his restless heart.

When Shopkeeper Liu saw this, he raised his hand again angrily, but slowly put it down. He turned to Yang Ge and said seriously: "Brother, throw this thing into the stove and burn it. Keep it. What a disaster!”

Although the old man is not a big shot, he has spent half his life, so he naturally has his own philosophy of life.

In his eyes, they and the rest of the Yuelai Inn are little people who run around all day just for three meals and one night.

Since you are a small person, don't talk about rising to great heights, becoming a prince and becoming a prime minister!

He has lived for most of his life, and most of the people he has met who have a bigger appetite than they can eat have a bad death...

"Can't burn!"

Yang Ge, who had been silent for a long time, softly uttered a few words.

Shopkeeper Liu was anxious, thinking that Yang Ge had also been carried away by this martial arts secret book. Just as he was about to persuade him again, he heard Yang Ge say again: "It will be more troublesome to burn it!"

Shopkeeper Liu was stunned and asked in confusion: "How do you say this?"

Yang Ge clicked on the martial arts secrets on the table and said slowly: "If there is no trouble, then this thing is just a few pieces of waste paper. If there is trouble, then this thing is the solution... I can't say , and it’s also our only way to survive!”

Just 'Sangmenxing' Jiang Kuina raised his voice so loudly that his reward could be heard from a few streets away.

If someone really came to ask Yang Ge for this thing, Yang Ge said that it had been burned... Who would believe it?

Not everyone is as enlightened as Shopkeeper Liu.

Wang Dali is the best example.

Shopkeeper Liu suddenly came to his senses. He stroked his chest in fear and said, "Brother, you are so considerate!"

He looked worriedly at the martial arts secrets on the table, feeling troubled and not knowing how to deal with them.

After Yang Ge was silent for a moment, he suddenly said: "Shopkeeper, let's rest in the inn for a while!"

Shopkeeper Liu and Wang Dali looked at Yang Ge together.

Yang Ge slowly said: "The martial arts test period is approaching, and there will probably be more and more incidents like today. What we do is just a small business to earn copper coins. There is no need to take such a big risk of family destruction."

Luting County is close to Luoyang, the sacred capital, and is one of the gateways to Beijing.

So what happened today seems to be just an accident of bad luck.

But at this juncture, this kind of failure is actually inevitable.

After all, people who practice martial arts have been surrounded by swords, swords, and bloodshed for a long time. Most of them have bad tempers, and they have more or less persecution paranoia and PTSD.

As a distribution center for the floating population, the inn is also one of the places where most people interact with these martial arts practitioners who go to Beijing to take the exam...

The best proof is that the Yuelai Inn ran into guests practicing martial arts causing trouble for two days in a row.

In addition, Yang Ge can be sure that Jiang Kui really had murderous intentions when he held his pipa bone!

Shopkeeper Liu was in a dilemma and thought for a long time before he sighed deeply and said with a disappointed smile: "Brother, if I hadn't told you, we would have almost forgotten that this time it is a martial arts exercise of grace... Thanks to the official family, We have taken over the inn for thirty-five years, and we can finally take a break.”

Wang Dali was attracted by Shopkeeper Liu's words and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, what do you mean by grace martial arts?"

Shopkeeper Liu glanced at Wang Dali with disdain, not bothering to explain to him. When he saw Yang Ge looking at him intently, he reluctantly said: "The serious martial arts examination is the same as the civil examination examination. They are ranked every three years. Most of them are military leaders and generals’ sons with clean financial status.”

"The Grace Martial Arts Examination is similar to Enke. It is a test conducted by a saint in order to benevolent to the world and select talents... After hearing about this Grace Martial Arts Examination, those admitted can be forgiven of all past sins!"

Wang Dali suddenly realized: "No wonder so many officials followed that evil guest to hit the top!"

But shopkeeper Liu became more and more worried: "In most of our lives, this is the second time that we have encountered such an official approach to martial arts examinations. The last time was when His Majesty Taizong personally conquered the desert... It seems that in this world, we must insist on It’s not peaceful!”

This may be the duck prophet of Spring River Plumbing.

Although the old man didn't know much about family and country affairs, and he didn't have any reliable first-hand information channels, he could always find similarities in his past life experiences and judge some less obvious major events.

Yang Ge did not answer, but he felt that the court's move was very courageous. If the unruly people in the world could be integrated, it would not only reduce the internal friction in China, but also enhance the army's combat effectiveness. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone!

Of course, the premise is that it can be integrated well...

He pondered for a moment and then said: "Shopkeeper, haven't you often said that you want to go back to your hometown to see the old house? Now is a good opportunity."

Shopkeeper Liu glanced at him and slowly frowned: "What do you mean..."

Yang Ge nodded: "It's not safe in the store, just leave me alone!"

Shopkeeper Liu stroked his beard vigorously: "If trouble really comes to our door, you won't be able to live alone... How about we find a place for you and you go out to hide?"

Yang Ge tapped the secret book on the table, shook his head slightly and said, "It's me and this thing that's causing trouble. If you can't find me, it's time to cause trouble for you!"

Wang Dali scratched his neck and said angrily: "There is only a tattered book on the left and right. If you want it, just give it to him. Can you still force people to death?"

Shopkeeper Liu looked at Yang Ge and wondered if Yang Ge was making too much of a fuss.

"I've already taken a look at this thing. From my experience, it shouldn't be too advanced a martial art to be worthy of being a strongman who kills people and seizes treasures."

Yang Ge said calmly and softly: "But the key to the problem is not how rare this martial arts secret book is, but how famous and how many enemies that hero Jiang has in the martial arts world!"

"If everyone thinks that what the hero Chiang gave me is a magical secret book, then even if it is just a children's enlightenment picture book, there will definitely be countless people coming here to kill people, steal goods, and dig deep into the ground."

"If that Chiang Kai-shek has enemies all over the place, and they are all ruthless people who kill without blinking an eye, then even if a stray dog ​​on the roadside wagged its tail at him, someone would probably kill the dog."

"And we don't know anything about that Hero Chiang now, do we?"

"Of course, things may not be as bad as I said."

"But when it comes to life and property, we have to prepare for the worst, right?"

When Jiang Kui threw this martial arts secret book to him before, he knew that this thing was troublesome.

Later, when he had time to think about it carefully, he realized that this thing was more troublesome than he expected...

It can also be seen from this that Jiang Kui threw this thing to him with a loud voice, and it may not necessarily be all out of good intentions.

Perhaps this is the thinking of big people looking down on small people: I have given you the opportunity, whether you can seize it or not depends on your own ability!

Shopkeeper Liu and Wang Dali had previously thought that Yang Ge was making a fuss out of a molehill. After listening to Yang Ge's analysis, they both felt a chill on their vests, as if there were a pair of lustful eyes secretly watching them in the darkness.

"hehe……"

Wang Dali swallowed hard and forced a smile: "Then I go home now, is it still too late?"

"Snapped!"

Shopkeeper Liu angrily slapped Wang Dali on the back of the head, causing his head to hit the table like a chicken pecking at rice: "Donkey Gong's stuff, if I didn't carry the thunder for you, he would Can you cause this trouble? Your conscience has been eaten by dogs?"

Wang Dali rubbed the back of his head and raised his head. He avoided looking at Yang Ge and whispered, "Isn't this what my little brother asked us to go home..."

Shopkeeper Liu raised his big hand angrily and wanted to give this guy another big showdown, but Yang Ge shook his head and said softly: "Everyone who should know about what happened tonight must know it. Besides, there is a curfew now, so you can leave if you want." No…”

"I will sit here and wait with the lamp in my hand tonight. If someone comes, I will handle it. You can leave the inn early tomorrow morning."

"If I can survive this, then we will wait until the martial arts competition is over before opening the door to welcome guests."

"If I have bad luck... I'll ask the shopkeeper to pay for a mat, wrap it in a bag, and throw it into the Bian River."

As he spoke, he actually laughed, and his eyes lit up with a light they had never seen before.

Looking at Yang Ge like this, shopkeeper Liu couldn't help but think of the winter last year, when Yang Ge, dressed in rags, walked back and forth along the long street covered with snow. No one knew where he was going. No matter where, I don’t know where he is going back...

"Don't think so!"

Shopkeeper Liu pressed Yang Ge's shoulder and said with a forced smile: "You are living a good life, we are still waiting for you to repay your kindness!"

Yang Ge smiled and nodded: "Who doesn't want to live if he can live..."

Happy National Day~
