Volume 1 Wisdom in the Capital Chapter 28, Distributing Boats

Xu Wubing stayed in Xingdaofang for a day and did not have half a copper coin to account.

Fortunately, the two meat buns donated by the aunt in the bun shop finally made him survive a day.

He has been used to being hungry since childhood, but at this time, some setbacks did not discourage him.

"But, my second brother in the inn has a huge appetite and is seriously injured. He has been hungry for a day today. How can he withstand it?!"

Thinking of this, Wuyan was worried. He left Xingdaofang and walked aimlessly all the way. Even though he racked his brains, he still had no choice.

"There is nothing to do with the scholar. The words of the ancients are as true as this..."

Xu Wubing couldn't help but sigh to the sky. Before he could realize it, he saw himself wandering to the gate of Deyue Tower again.

Nadeyue Tower is located in the main fang of Chang'an City Road, and is built very spacious and magnificent. It is now Xu, and the lights in Chang'an City are just on the rise. The lights in the restaurant are shining and the shadows are crowded, which is more lively than during the day. The fragrance of wine and meat wafts with the wind, causing Xu Wubing to swallow his saliva.

Xu Wubing turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly someone shouted behind him: "Leader!"

When I turned around without illness, I saw that the man was about 60 years old, slightly fat, wearing a gray cloth shirt, and a white moustache. He looked familiar, but who he was, but he couldn't remember for a moment...

"The leader... can't recognize it? Haha... the old man in Yanzhou Prefecture heard the tiger and crane fist together." The old man in white bearded heard the bell clasped his fists and said with a polite manner.

Xu Wubing hurriedly bowed and said, "It turns out that he is Mr. Qi, the head of the tiger and crane fist of Yanzhou Prefecture! He is so resentful! It's just that Xu is just a scholar. The word "leader" will never be mentioned in the future..."

Qi Wenzhong said, "Hey!... Why should we be too humble to be the leader of the Xu League?! The heroes present at the junior brother's swordsmanship that day were obvious to all. That night, everyone regarded you as the leader of the demon hunting alliance, which was unquestionable!..."

Xu Wubing was about to defend himself, but Qi Wenzhong couldn't say anything. He pulled Wubing's arm and walked into Deyue Tower. He said as he walked: "Today I brought some ginseng and mink from Yanzhou and just handed over these wild goods to the buyer. He was planning to taste some wine and food in Deyue Tower. He never thought that he could meet the leader here. As the saying goes, 'It's better to meet by chance than a chance'. Qi was worried that he would drink alone. Today, when he met the leader, we must have a good drink!"

Xu Wubing was about to refuse, but he could hear a sound in his belly, and he immediately pushed him and entered Deyue Tower with Qi Wenzhong.

The two of them found a seat in the middle of the restaurant lobby. Qi Wenzhong made a grand move and ordered a table of famous dishes from the hotel. However, compared with the big dishes ordered by Xu Wubing and Zhu Wuneng that day, they were still far from the same.

In fact, Qi Wenzhong had already seen that Xu Wubing looked like a weak scholar, but he was not a martial arts practitioner? But on the night of the "Monster Hunt Conference", a young man in white who appeared like a god and claimed to be "Sha Wujing". The peerless martial arts he showed were intimidating the audience. Since the young man in white respected Xu Wubing so much, then his relationship with the "Lead Xu" would be closer, and it would be better.

Although Qi Wenzhong was in Yanzhou Prefecture and was in charge of the Yiquan Sect, his martial arts skills were actually mediocre. Although there were many disciples under his sect, most of them were vulgar people. What the entire sect relied on was to travel around the world and go on business.

Yanzhou is located in the north of Ganguo. It is located in the mountains and fields, with snow everywhere, with many specialties such as ginseng, deer antler, marten, tiger bones, etc. The tiger and crane fist are passed down to Qi Wenzhong's generation, and the family is declining, and the children in the sect are withering day by day. Qi Wenzhong

With a sudden inspiration, he saw that the martial arts industry was not prosperous, so he had the idea of ​​running a business and transported the specialties from Yanzhou to all parts of the country from a long distance. Unexpectedly, he did not have spiritual roots in martial arts, but he was good at doing business. After decades of hard work, his family's business was spread all over the country, especially the capital. Qi Wenzhong was also very generous. When he was in danger, he generously donated money. If someone passed through Yanzhou, he would entertain him with kindness. Therefore, the Central Plains martial arts world was widely circulated and his reputation for hospitality was secretly given to him, and he was nicknamed "Yanbei Mengchang".

The "Yanbei Mengchang" Qi Wenzhong was always the favorite to make friends. Today, he "catched" Xu Wubing, the "monster leader", and was reluctant to let go. He held "Fenyang Zui" in his hand and poured wine for Xu Wubing one after another. The "leader" and "young hero" in his mouth kept calling him, and kept urging him to drink and eat. Xu Wubing was not polite, (he was really hungry in his stomach) simply refused. For a moment, one kept persuading him, and the other was just eating. The person who persuaded him to drink was very happy, and the person who was eating was full of joy!...

Two young men sat at the table next door, one wearing a crimson purple robe and the other wearing a moon-white silk shirt, drinking and drinking lightly beside them. Looking at the clothes of the two, you will know that most of them are rich young men in Chang'an City.

The young man in a white shirt was facing Xu Wubing. Seeing that Wubing was not elegant in eating, he felt very interesting and couldn't help but laugh. The young man in a purple robe opposite him seemed to suddenly remember something, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said:

"Brother Zhang, do you know that in the past few days, there has been a strange thing in our capital?"

"Oh? What a strange thing?" Mr. Baishan stopped paying attention to Xu Wubing and responded to his senses.

The young master of purple robe said, "It is the marriage of the eighth prince of the current emperor, the King of Jin!"

Mr. Baishan said: "I have heard about this incident, and everyone said that King Jin asked for marriage to Emperor Longsheng, and wanted to marry the daughter of Tianbao Pavilion, Murong Yan..."

The young man in purple robe smiled and said, "Brother Zhang is indeed well-informed, but do you know what title did the King of Jin invite for this young lady?"

Mr. Baishan said, "Brother Li is worthy of being a person in the temple. Do you know this?!"

The young man in purple robe laughed and said, "My brother is in the Ministry of Rites. He heard the news from the palace that the King of Jin asked Miss Murong to be the title of "Princess"!"

The young master in white clothes said strangely: "The King of Jin wants to marry a folk woman to be his concubine?"

The young man in purple robe laughed and said, "Brother Zhang, guess again..."

The young master in white clothes said, "It's not the Yuan Concubine?"

The young man in purple robe held his hands and smiled, "That's right! The King of Jin wants to marry Miss Murong and be his official concubine!"

The young master of white clothes obviously did not believe the young master of purple clothes and retorted: "Brother Li, you must be fooling around this matter! Since my great cause, the Taizu has clearly ordered that the prince must choose his daughter as his wife from the great ministers and nobles. Although his Tianbao Pavilion is rich enough to rival a country, the young lady of the Murong family is not from an official family, and has no rank or title. How can such a young woman be able to become the princess of Jin? Besides, did the King of Jin have already established the Yuan Concubine?"

The young master of purple robe said, "Brother Zhang doesn't know that Princess Jin is weak and died last year. Now, King Jin is in his prime. Think about it, Murong Yan is known as the "No. 1 Beauty in Chang'an City"! If King Jin takes her into the mansion, it will be really 'benefit and lust'!..."

The young master of white shirt said disdainfully: "The King of Jin is the Prince of Five Pearls, and is deeply favored by the Emperor of Long Live. All the people in the court and the people are called the "Eight Virtue Kings". Alas! After all, it is the "grilling east wind, and the beautiful woman with lotus and weeping willows"! I didn't expect that the King of Jin is a gentleman, but a graceful gentleman. It seems that he is indeed

‘Idle’!…”

The young man in purple robe hurriedly made a move to stop saying, "Brother Zhang, be careful of his words!" He turned around and looked around, and confirmed that there were no one in the vassals on both sides. He whispered: "I heard that the Qingyiwei arrested people here a few days ago. If Brother Zhang's words were heard by those Qingyiwei people, it would be a disaster that would be a disaster!..."

The young master of white shirt was obviously frightened by these words, so he stopped quickly and lowered his head to drink.

...

Here, after eating a meal, Xu Wubing finally had a lot of famous wine and delicious dishes. After burping beautifully, he suddenly thought that his second brother Zhu Wuneng was still hungry in the inn. He couldn't bear to wait for a moment and hurriedly said goodbye to Qi Wenzhong.

Xu Wumingxu packed some leftovers, and he was not polite to Qi Wenzhong. He got up and left while drinking...

Qi Wenzhong paid the bill and sent Xu Wubing out. As soon as he left the gate of Deyue Tower, Wubing suddenly turned around and asked with a gloomy look:

"Xu first arrived in Chang'an, and he had no money with him. He has been spending too much money these days. He is in trouble. Can you allow Xu to borrow some silver from Mr. Qi for a while and he will definitely take it as a result in the future..."

Qi Wenzhong said: "Don't be polite to the leader! How much silver should I give you? I should serve you!"

Xu Wubing held up a finger and said slowly: "Can you borrow Xu first... ten taels of silver... will definitely double the future..."

Qi Wenzhong laughed and said, "I am still the main member of the alliance to borrow 1,000 taels of silver! Today I don't have much of it with me, there are 100 taels here, so the leader will use it first! If you borrow or not, don't mention it again in the future! It is my blessing to be able to meet the leader of the alliance today and serve the leader!"

After saying that, Qi Wenzhong took out a full package from his backpack. When he opened it, he found that it was filled with silver cakes. Each silver cake was of the same shape, weighing ten taels. The neat ten large silver ingots made Xu Wubing's eyes lit up. He hurriedly packed the package, fearing that it was seen by the strong people around him.

After leaving the Daozhengfang, Qi Wenzhong waved goodbye to Xu Wubing, saying that he would go to do his business first and visit Yunyun at the inn tomorrow. Xu Wubing just nodded and thanked him...

After Xu Wubing left after hearing the bell, he was drunk and walked southward.

At this moment, what he held in his arms was a pile of silver that he had never seen before in his life; what remained in his belly was the famous Fenyang wine that he had never drunk in his life; what he recalled in his mind was the shocking past that he had never experienced in his life, but the brotherly love that he had never felt in his life...

The night is already deep, outside the west sky, a crescent moon shines in the sky, and stars are sprinkling all over the sky, as if countless pairs of eyes are silently staring at the countless beings...

A breeze came gently, and Wuyan couldn't help but feel moved, so he chanted slowly:

The sky of thousands of miles of rivers is early

Ten years of dreams in Yangzhou are gone

Haven't seen Chang'an good

How to endure Chang'an old man

The spring water is gone

Spring flowers are in love

How much sorrow to meet

Spread the boat

...

(The above refer to "Bodhisattva Man")

Xu Wubing was drunk and sang while singing, while sang around. Finally, he returned to Yunqi Inn in Changlefang before the curfew in Chang'an.

As soon as I entered the inn gate, I saw the noise inside and the chaos. Xu Wubing looked forward, but if he didn't see it, he couldn't help but feel furious when he saw it...
