Chapter 39 The world is a battlefield
After a rain, Chang'an City became cooler, the leaves turned slightly yellow, and autumn came quietly.
Tang Xiaoqi was bored with his hands on the road, drawing circles on his chest, and complained constantly: "Lai, I'm almost bored. As soon as he came to Chang'an, I was locked in this backyard for more than a month. I have never seen anything like Chang'an City. When will you take me out for a walk?"
Lu Lili touched Tang Xiaoqi's smooth belly: "It's been more than two months, and there is no reaction. Grandpa took your pulse last time and said that the poison you were infected with had not yet broken and needed medicine to rest. When you are well, I will take you out for a walk next time and have some fun. You should also get pregnant with a fat boy, so grandpa will be better at speaking."
"Bah! That's the reason why I'm giving birth to a son for you." Tang Xiaoqi came to Lu Li for a moment with anger.
"If you are really bored, you can find some things to do. Help your family manage accounts, copy prescriptions, etc.." Lu Lile was also wondering why the old man kept Xiaoqi so tight, but he didn't dare to ask, so he had to come up with this idea.
"Really? Will others say that I have started to get married before I get married?" Tang Xiaoqi was a little eager to try.
"Apart from Ping'er's stupid little girl, there are all men in the family, so no one would be irresponsible." Lu Lele said.
As soon as I stretched my head out of the yard, I was knocked hard on the head when I got off the road.
"You are asked to study hard all day long and you will know to go to Xiaoqi's yard all day long. You know that she is not very good at body, so don't you want me to hold my great-grandson!";
After staring at the road for a few days, my beard was trembling with anger. I cursed loudly, and the sound could obviously reach Tang Xiaoqi's ears.
The road was gone and screamed pitifully for a few times. After the old man stopped, he said what he thought just now.
"My old man closed his eyes and stretched his legs. This family is not yours. Xiaoqi wants to be a housekeeper, just take care of it. My old man is just in his spare time." Lu Gangrang said with his beard raised and raised.
Seeing that the old man was angry, Lu Lili shrank and wanted to sneak out again.
"Where are you going again!" the old man shouted loudly.
"Yu Zhenguan!" Lu LeLe answered without looking back, and the old man stopped talking.
On the way out, LeLe did not go to Yuzhen Temple, but rode his horse to the west with Zhou Liuzi.
"I heard from Boss Hu, you brag about how beautiful the Hu girl in Hu Ji's restaurant is, how enthusiastic and powerful it is. I remember that last time you just drank tea in the side hall. When did you know that Hu Ji was so powerful it?" Lu Lilai turned around and looked at Zhou Liuzi, who was expressionless.
"Isn't it okay to see it? I don't have money, so I must try it if I have money." Zhou Liuzi said as he stared at the fast jade pendant on Lu Leye's body.
"Xiaoqi will be the housekeeper soon. You can go to her place to get some money in a few days. Forget it, Boss Hu, that guy must have hidden private money." Lu LeLe said hatefully.
"What else can you get? Do you have the money on yourself?" Zhou Liuzi pursed.
"Zhou Liuzi! Don't look at me laughing at me. Mr. Lu, it's better if I don't make money. Once I make money, I will scare you to death." Lu Li touched the copper on his body and said angrily.
Zhou Liuzi turned his head and ignored him.
The red iron Pi was steadily placed on the iron pile with iron pliers, and waved the hammer with both hands and smashed it down vigorously. The sparks splashed everywhere and the sweat were scattered, making a "squeaking" sound. In a blacksmith shop near Xishi City, a strong man in his fifties exposed his strong muscles and beat the iron for a long time. Lu LeLe squatted aside, Zhou Liuzi stood behind him, and the two of them watched the man smacked the iron for a while.
A middle-aged woman with obvious weight brought a large pot of food and turned around and retreated into the house silently. Her eyebrows and eyes were still a little similar to those of Hu Ji. The strong man with his upper body was squatting by the shop and eating food without any intention of saying hello to the road. He finished eating the food in front of him with big mouthfuls and stood up with satisfaction.
"I've been running this blacksmith shop in the Hu family for decades. I looked at me as if I was foolish enough to see me thrust in the iron. It was obvious that you are the second one. Are you scholars really idle?"
"The first one is a drunkard, but I am not!" Lu LeLe said with a smile.
When the man heard the word "Wine", his eyes lit up. He wiped his mouth and a smile appeared on his face: "If I could have two more sips of wine, it would be really comfortable."
"If Uncle Hu wants to drink, my nephew will buy it for Hu Shuo now." Lu Lili said quickly.
In the past, if someone said that Li Bai had a sworn brother who was a blacksmith, he would not believe it even if he was beaten to death. But now the person is right in front of him, he has to believe it.
Hu Yun shook his head with regret: "If you drink and vomit blood when you are drunk, your aunt will not allow me to drink again."
"Hehe, I heard from Master Hu, how heroic he is. I also wrote a song "The Legend of the Knights" to praise you. I didn't expect that I was so afraid of my wife." Lu LeLe smiled.
"Get out, googun! Your aunt is for my own good. I am old. Although Hu is a rough man, I still understand this. Have you been to Guanli? Have you been to your Hu Ji Restaurant?" Hu Yun scolded angrily.
"My nephew had already met Mr. Chiying and Aunt Xilin a few months ago. Because the old man at home forced Wen Shu to keep an eye on him, it was too late to pay homage to Uncle Hu. Don't blame Uncle Hu." Lu Lelai gave a honest greeting.
"I'm just a craftsman in the market. Whether you come early or late, it's fine if you come." Hu Yun waved his hand and didn't care.
The heroes in the city and those idle city foxes and rats have never been underestimated. Although they are lowly, they are righteous, loyal and committed suicide and kill people. They have a headache for the government, but they have no choice.
They have their world and their own rules, and they call it the world. They can find secrets that the government cannot know and have many things that the government cannot do on the surface. Any powerful and noble show of the world has a unclear relationship with it, and have also left a great reputation in history books.
Lu Lele dared not look down on the sworn brother of the master in front of him. He turned around and nodded to Zhou Liuzi, and gave him a gift that he thought was valuable.
Hu Yun didn't even look at the gifts, nor did he refuse. He just nodded slightly, and a young man suddenly appeared, took the gift and turned around and disappeared.
"In the blink of an eye, I have been with your master Mr. Taibai for almost twenty years. Yesterday's incident seemed to be right in front of me. I really didn't realize that he, a graceful scholar, had such strong swordsman, and would kill people for the angry love of the beauty." Hu Yun looked at the Xishifangmen, which was flowing in constant flowing, with a dazed look.
The news was so explosive that Lu Zai opened his eyes widened: "Ah! My master has killed someone?"
Hu Yun smiled slightly: "Yes! At that time, Hu Ji's wine shop in Xilin had not moved to Pingkangfang, Zhuque Street, Dongcheng City, but just opened a small wine shop outside Kaiyuan Gate to sell wine. However, he was attracted by the old Du of Xicheng and wanted to marry him back as a concubine, but his master scolded him in person as a leader.
This old Du in Xicheng is not an ordinary person. He was shocked by stomping his feet in Xicheng at that time. The old Du in Xicheng could not bear such anger. That night, he blocked the drunk Taibai in the alley. He wanted to kill him and tie him up with a stone, and quietly threw him into the moat. Old Du in Xicheng did not do much such a thing.
But I knew that the four powerful kung fu rangers found by Old Du in Xicheng were not his opponents. In the end, Old Du in Xicheng took the battle personally and was chopped off by your master. He sobered up too white wine, so he looked at me foolishly and looked at me all morning. He knew that he was locked away by the yamen runners."
Hu Yun picked up the big jar of coarse tea and took a big sip.
"What happened later?" Lu LeLe asked curiously.
"The one in Yuzhen Temple personally took him away from the prison of Jingzhao Yin and was in charge of the villa for two years. This matter slowly passed. Later, your master often came to me to drink and chat and laugh, and the territory of Lao Du in Xicheng belonged to us. Most of the fees in the entire Xicheng City flowed into Yuzhen Temple. The current Hu Ji Restaurant in Dongcheng City is also opened in this way, and most of the benefits flowed into Yuzhen Temple."
Hu Yun said calmly.
"What a pair of fairy-god couples who practice immortals and seek Taoism actually started such a thing." Lu LeLe secretly complained to himself, but he felt that Uncle Hu said this should have something else to mean.
Lu LeLe looked at Hu Yun without saying anything.
"Unclearly, we are all old, but there is no change in this world. Look at the extremely prosperous and crowded western market, there is nothing on the surface. But secretly, for this countless wealth and gold market, there are endless and bloody struggles. Over the years, I have been tired, but the struggle still will not stop."
Hu Yun sighed long.
"With Master Yu Zhenguan Zhiying supporting him behind him, is there anyone else coming to cause trouble?" Lu Lili asked in surprise.
"This time, not only in Xishi, the Hu Ji Restaurant in Pingkangfang was also in trouble. Next to Hu Ji Restaurant, a newly opened Tianxian Building. The girls in the building were all like flowers and jade, all of which were invited courtesans from all over the place. Tianxian Building came as a hot courtesan at night, and only half a month after debuting, it attracted countless noble men to rush to leave and linger.
As a result, Hu Ji’s wine shop business is declining and it is very difficult. The two sides fought openly and secretly several times, and Hu Ji’s wine shop is at a disadvantage.”;
Hu Yun shook his head helplessly.
"Such a big deal! The courtesans from all over the world come to be ordinary girls in Tianxianlou. What kind of backstage is so rich and generous?" Lu Lili opened his mouth wide in surprise.
"Sihai Commercial Bank! This Sihai Commercial Bank was originally mainly in the East City, but for some reason why it entered the West City this time. My subordinates of Qingyun Club collected fees as usual and received a store under the name of Sihai Commercial Bank, and there was a conflict.
The big shopkeeper of Sihai Commercial Bank was so angry that he announced that all merchants in the West City were not allowed to pay fees to our Qingyun Association. Otherwise, they would be regarded as enemies by Sihai Commercial Bank and cut off all their business dealings.
For the docks that are close to us, the carriages and horses, the Changfeng Escort Agency, and the Huazi Gang, who picks up corpses and begs, they use all means to differentiate and win over and suppress. The big shopkeeper of the Sihai Business Company seems to want to unify the West Market, and his goal is not small."
Although Hu Yun looks rough, he has no lack of meticulous thoughts.
"What's the origin of this Sihai Business?" Lu LeLe asked.
"You have heard the saying that the trees in the south are gone and the ministers are still poor. Wang Yuanbao, the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, was the leader of the Sihai Business Company. It is unclear how many powerful people there are. The Sihai Business Company has a deep background, and even the one in Guanxiu dares to say that they can easily deal with it. The capital is deep and it is difficult to live in."
Hu Yun actually spoke in a genius manner, not like a rude iron slaughter.
"Does my uncle know this in the temple?" Lu Leli asked hesitantly.
Hu Yun looked at the road in a steady state: "I am just a rough man and I don't know anything. I have to tell you about this to the person in the Guanli."
"I'm still a rough man, and I'm always cunning in such a big circle. Isn't it just that I want me to tell you the current embarrassment?" Lu LeLe complained in his heart.
"Uncle Hu! Look, I've just entered Chang'an and I'm not clear about what you said. I'm asking me to tell you if I don't carry it! I'm also going to read the book to prepare for next year's Spring Examination Competition, so I won't disturb you." Lu Lilai said that and was about to turn around and leave.
"You Uncle Hu, I am so old. Do you have the heart to be scolded by that old man who lost his temper? You are the only disciple of Taibai, so that person can't blame you." Hu Yun grabbed the road.
Before he could hide for two days after returning home, Princess Yuzhen sent someone to come and was taken to a quiet and unique villa.
Seeing that there was no one around, he knelt down and called his disciple Lu Lele to pay homage to his master's wife. But this time it didn't work at all, and his knees were a little numb. Princess Yuzhen had a cold face and did not call him up.
Lu Leye wanted to break his head, but he couldn't think of where he annoyed this person. He suddenly felt shocked. Could it be that he had used a branch to teach Gu Ye a little Taoist priest and sold his sword skills again? Thinking of this, Lu Leye was sweating coldly.
"Ge Shu Xiaoye has returned to Beijing, but Gu Ye stayed in Dongchangyan. He said he wanted to learn swordsmanship from him, Master Qinglian, do you know why?";
After a long time, Princess Yuzhen's cold voice began to remember.
Lu Lili felt cold in his heart, and he thought about it. But he replied obediently: "I don't know this, I don't know."
"Because he was beaten by the boy from the Qin family." Princess Yuzhen's tone was already full of anger.
Lu Lili breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the person in the seat in confusion, not daring to speak.
"And the boy from the Xianyu family, relying on the relationship of the vixen in the palace, dared not take me seriously. Humph! What a courage." Princess Yuzhen slapped the table hard.
"Master's wife! What happened? Senior Brother Gu Ye has been having a good time with them all the way, why did he have a conflict?" Lu LeLe asked carefully.
