As soon as Gu Liubai returned to the inn, he found Pei Yunshi looking for him.
"Where have you gone?" Pei Yunqiu greeted Gu Liubai to sit down in a tea room in the inn, pretending to be careless.
Gu Liubai was amused, but there was a heavy expression on his face and said softly: "I went out to visit many places in the city to find out something."
"What's the matter?" Pei Yunqi said calmly.
Gu Liubai hesitated slightly, "Inquiry about the secrets of a cultivation method."
Pei Yunqi smiled, "About the methods of lewd thieves in the Headless Bodhisattva Temple?"
Gu Liubai's body was shocked and he looked at Pei Yunqi in disbelief.
"hehe!"
Pei Yunqi looked at him with great contempt, "The Hua family helped you to suppress this matter, but you took all the people in the headless Bodhisattva Temple in the convoy. Can you hide such a thing from others or me? Do you think I am stupid?"
"I'm not trying to hide it from you, but mainly to let you recover from your injuries." Gu Liubai smiled embarrassedly.
Pei Yunqi was very helpful, but he still snorted coldly, "Then you have been busy for so long, have you found out what you have found?"
Gu Liubai looked worried: "After all, it's not as good as outside the pass. There are no effective people here to help, and it's very troublesome to inquire about things. Moreover, if there are more people who can learn about this method, it will be easy to leak the news."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Pei Yunqi laughed proudly in his heart.
What is easy to leak the news? This is already leaking the news.
Someone has already explored the practice method of the Headless Bodhisattva Temple at the curtain-blocking Dharma Assembly.
Young people do things in a rough way!
You are a dragon outside the pass, and you still have to rely on me, Pei Yunqi, when you come inside the pass!
"What, I didn't find out what is useful?" She asked lightly on the face of Gu Jing Wubo.
"Yes!" Gu Liubai also laughed: "I didn't find out any useful ones."
"I know some secrets, so I might as well mention you." Pei Yun's lips twitched a little.
Gu Liubai was a little shocked, "Do you have some understanding of this method?"
"Not many, but enough." Pei Yunqi said calmly: "If you reach the seventh level of this kind of practice, you will be insatiable. Your mind is attacked by various evil images. But as long as you chop off your descendants, you will have no shortcomings. It is indeed a first-class method."
This memory is really good!
Gu Liubai admires him very much.
Pei Yunqi remembers that the original words of the old sparrow are not bad.
"This method is so evil." He bared his teeth and pretended to be shocked, "What kind of practice can you figure out such a technique?"
After hearing Gu Liubai's words, Pei Yunqi straightened his back and said proudly: "What's so strange about this? In my opinion, this should be a yellow gate method."
Gu Liubai's heart moved, and Pei Yunqiu really thought of it with him.
He knew that he could not pretend too much, so he frowned and said, "What do you mean is this originally a method used by eunuchs in the palace?"
Seeing Gu Liubai being modest, Pei Yunqiu said in detail: "Since the pre-Qin period, the eunuchs in the palace often assumed the responsibility of some guards and running errands. The powerful eunuchs not only walked inside and outside the palace, but sometimes even could wear armor to command the army to fight. After cutting off many thoughts, these people achieved great success in their practice. There were several methods in the Yellow Gate Method, which were naturally extremely powerful. Among the eunuchs of the Great Sui Dynasty, there were three eighth grades, one of which was a great sword master who used a sword."
Gu Liubai nodded and said seriously: "Whose inheritance does the method of the Headless Bodhisattva Temple come from? Do you know?"
"I don't know now, but it's not difficult to investigate." Pei Yunqi looked at Gu Liubai and mocked: "There are not many types of yellow gate methods, but it's easy to get bad things when you ask outside, and I don't want to alert the snake. When I return to Chang'an, I can find a trustworthy palace friend to help me."
Gu Liubai thought silently, if I hadn't asked and the old sparrow said, you might not have been sure that this was a yellow gate method.
But he naturally couldn't say that.
If Pei Yunqi wants to work for free, he must be put in a low posture.
"Then I won't go and think about it anymore. I'll ask more questions here and it's really a shocking moment. It's a mess of your plan." Gu Liubai humbly accepted it.
Pei Yunqi nodded arrogantly just now, and suddenly realized that the smell was a bit familiar.
Why did I say a few words? This turned into her business and her plot?
But she had something more important and was too lazy to care about it. She just stared at Gu Liubai calmly and said, "I heard that you asked the Turks to get a piece of iron in the sky?"
Gu Liubai raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you know this?"
Pei Yunqiu was proud and smiled sarcastically, saying, "You are doing things in a rough way. Your news leaked. There will be many people here to attack your iron. Although the Turkic Black Cavalry is powerful outside the pass, the Turkic people are just a worm inside the pass. The black cavalry cannot enter. They may not be able to protect your iron. If you ask me for help, then you have to tell me what you want to do with that iron?"
"There is nothing wrong with telling you." Gu Liubai said: "You gave Ying Qing to me. I now have a good sword on hand, but no good sword. I heard that this piece of Tianxia Iron has a unique material and the sword he created should not be easily broken. If he encounters a battle like Heishawa again, such a sword will be very useful."
When it comes to Heishawa, Pei Yunqi's heart and body tend to be soft.
She was silent for a moment and said, "Liang Fengning teaches you to use a knife. Guo Beixi told you to use a sword. Your sword skills are not bad. With a good sword, you naturally have to use a good sword. Since I have given you a good sword, I will also get this good sword for you."
Gu Liubai hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Actually, I am good at using golden beans as hidden weapons to kill people."
"I still want to cheat Jindouzi from me? Get out!"
Pei Yunqi cursed, thought for a while, and said, "If you have nothing to do later, please accompany me to a place?"
When Gu Liubai heard this, he knew that she must have wanted to go to Ruolifang.
She probably likes to watch things like buying murder.
"I originally... Forget it, my affairs are definitely not as interesting as yours." He is very good at making Pei Yun happy. He pretended to be embarrassed, and then he simply made a decision, "Then where do you take me to open your eyes?"
"Ruolifang." Pei Yunqi suddenly became happy, "The practitioners fight and show the places where people play. There must be no such place outside the pass."
"How can there be outside the pass? Please take it! I love watching practitioners fight, I am easy to learn!"
Gu Liubai looked like he was holding Pei Yun's thigh and was about to see him, but he was silently explaining in his heart that the second lady was just not fighting outside the gate, and that was really putting his head on his belt for people to see.
"Don't look uninformed when you go out with me. Be careful that you can tell at a glance that you are from outside the gates. Don't ask people to investigate you then." Pei Yun gave Gu Liubai a disgusted look.
But Gu Liubai could see that she really cared about herself.
"Okay, try not to embarrass you." Gu Liubai said seriously.
"Then let's go now?"
Pei Yunqiu felt physically and mentally comfortable when he looked at Gu Liubai.
This bastard always likes to take advantage of her and let her do free labor, but he can't resist him and make her happy.
"Are you interested in disguising yourself?" Gu Liubai looked her up and down, "Your temperament is so outstanding here and so eye-catching. There are disguise experts in the rush of Yinshan, so you can help us make up."
"That's a bit of a scheming method, just to see the disguise methods of the swarms of masters in Yinshan."
Pei Yunqi agreed immediately.
This is right. I, Pei Yunqi, have a very outstanding temperament.
If you don’t make it up for a while, you will be as dazzling as the fireflies in the night. Don’t attract the attention of the pilgrims at the curtain sanctuary.
In the evening, a carriage drove out quietly from the side door of the inn.
In the carriage, Pei Yunqi and Gu Liubai looked at each other.
This is not a disguise technique.
It's simply a head change technique.
Qiao Huangyun actually disguised Pei Yunqi as Duan Ai, and disguised Gu Liubai as Song Qiu.
Even though the two of them were sitting opposite the carriage, Gu Liubai could not see any flaws when he looked at Pei Yunshi's face.
So is Pei Yunqiu.
"Gu Shiwu?"
"Um?"
"It's really you?"
“…!”
"This person is named Qiao Huangyun. I'm afraid his disguise technique is not the best in the world. People like Yinshan are so powerful."
"Well, why don't you catch big fish?"
"What did you say?" Pei Yun looked at Gu Liubai suspiciously.
Gu Liubai smiled and said, "I said Qiao Huangyun likes fishing."
"That's not simple." Pei Yunqi said arrogantly: "When I return to Chang'an, I will find a good place to ask him to fish well."
Gu Liubai said silently in his heart, no need, you are that big fish.
"But this person is still a bit quirky." Pei Yunqi frowned slightly, "He made us look like Duan Ai and Song Qiu. When he met their acquaintances, he would probably be exposed."
Gu Liubai was helpless.
When Qiao Huangyun was in Heishawa, when Qiao Huangyun helped Yin Shiniang disguise herself as if she had a black eye disease, Yin Shiniang told him casually that Qiao Huangyun was usually willing to disguise herself. For Qiao Huangyun, doing this kind of thing, is like a great painter who usually needs to draw a few paintings to practice.
But after Qiao Huangyun's disguise is completed, he must not criticize his disguise or express dissatisfaction, let him change it or something.
Qiao Huangyun will be extremely unhappy and will not help disguise for a long time.
"Our voice is different from Duan Ai and Song Qiu, so we should speak less outside." Gu Liubai felt that the accent of him and Pei Yunqi was a big flaw.
Pei Yunqi was very smart when she was smart. She frowned and said, "Is this Qiao Huangyun still good at changing voices? Otherwise, a disguise expert like him would not be able to leave such flaws."
"He does know this method." Gu Liubai looked at her and whispered: "I just don't know if I want to teach us."
Pei Yunqiu said without thinking: "I think he will definitely be willing to teach."
"Why?" Gu Liubai didn't understand where she got her confidence.
"This man has a quirk." Pei Yunqiu said: "He made us look like people here, maybe he just wanted to see what kind of tricks we would come up with. If it was so easy to be seen through, his fun would not be satisfied, but it would be equivalent to his work being worth mentioning."
“It makes sense!”
Gu Liubai was shocked.
Or are they all people in a quirk circle, so accurate in their view?
...
If Lifang is located in Youzhou City, it is equivalent to Chonghuafang in Chang'an City.
Chonghuafang is located in Chang'an and next to the West City, Ruolifang is located in Youzhou and is located in Daxing City, the most lively market in Youzhou.
The overall structure of Ruolifang and Chonghuafang is similar, with a gate on each side, with a cross street in it. But what is more coincidentally, even the number and arrangement of temples and Taoist temples are very similar.
There is Jingxing Temple at the northeast gate of Chonghuafang, and Jingleni Temple at the southwest and southwest corner. There is Longxing Temple at the southeast corner.
If there is Jiafu Temple at the northeast gate of Lifang, Tianjing Temple at the southwest corner, and Wuwei Temple at the southeast corner.
As soon as the carriage drove into Ruolifang, Pei Yunqi suddenly felt familiar, and felt like he suddenly returned to Chang'an market after thousands of miles.
However, Chonghuafang didn't have much fun at night, but if Lifang was going to be more fun at night, according to the information sent by Li Xizhi to Pei Yunqiu before, there were seven gambling houses in Lifang and three underground gambling houses that could bet secretly.
There are twelve inns where Hu Ji can accompany you to drink.
According to Li Xizhi, there are much more Hu Ji who are good at singing and dancing here than Chang'an.
But the most attractive thing is that the three families can hold Hu Ji and drink while watching the practitioners fight and place bets.
"It's obviously a gambling house that eats, drinks and has fun. It's actually called a cultivation center. If you play this kind of text game in Chang'an, you will be beaten so hard that your shit will fly out!"
Pei Yunqi scoffed at this so-called name of the cultivation center.
If you are called the place of practice, if you cause any casualties, it can be said that you have failed in the practice competition.
Isn’t it just the censors who like to make things happen?
It is not difficult to check the person Qi Yu mentioned in the curtain-blocking ceremony.
He is the sword master who always lives in Yongning Cultivation Center among the three places in Ruolifang.
This man, except for appearing in Yongning Xiu's Scene, seems to have no movement in Youzhou City, and rarely even appearing in Ruolifang. His master's sect is not good, and he uses a long pine-patterned sword with his sword technique. However, he has never lost the sword competition with others at Yongning Xiu's Scene.
According to the information at hand, it seems that the most likely three practice centers are competing for business. Will the too outstanding practitioners who monopolize business like the courtesan in the flower building?
Her mind was spinning very quickly, but Gu Liubai didn't use his brain at all.
If he had to think about everything he heard, he would not be exhausted. Recently, he had to think about too many methods, which was very heartbreaking.
What's more, he had to pretend not to know that someone bought the murder of Qi Yu.
Just use your brain and spending money to let Pei Yunqi do it.
The Yongning Cultivation Office and the Qingxin Cultivation Office next to them all have to open until it is dark and lights. Then, they have been all night long. Almost half of the guests have to leave these three Cultivation Offices after dawn.
It was a while before dark, and there were a group of servants in green waiting in front of the three cultivation centers.
Although these people are young, they are very eye-catching.
As soon as Pei Yunqi and Gu Liubai's carriage stopped in front of Yongning Xiushou, several servants in the green clothes in front of Yongning Xiushou had already met. After looking at Pei Yunqi who got off the carriage, the young servant in the Qingshi immediately smiled and bowed, saying, "Do you want to go around nearby first, or go directly to the elegant seat to rest?"
Even though he was staring at Duan Ai's face, these clever servants in blue could see that Pei Yunqi must be a distinguished guest who came to pay for the money.
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Yunzi had already smashed his forehead with a wallet.
"Give me a beautiful room with the best viewing location, and ask someone to serve you with a clever and give you some exquisite food."
The servant in Qingyi was grinning with his teeth and his forehead was hot, but when he grabbed the purse, his mouth almost turned smirked, "Safety to satisfy the customer."
He immediately pinched the money bag with one hand, touched the forehead with the other, bent his body and led the way forward.
The layout of Yongning Repair House is quite distinctive, with a patio in the middle of the three-story wooden building.
The patio is seven or eight feet in square foot and thick stone floor.
The houses with this patio are like shops with eaves, with corridors on the second and third floors connected behind them.
In fact, Haoke, who pursues excitement, likes to sit downstairs next to the patio.
There are dozens of small square tables placed around the patio downstairs, just like a teahouse, but practitioners are fighting in the patio. These places can even feel the turbulence of the practitioner's true energy, and sometimes even blood splatters, which is very exciting.
However, this young servant in green is also a wise man. When he heard Pei Yunqi say he wanted to send some exquisite food, he immediately led the two to the second floor and chose a middle-level elegant room. Looking down on the second floor, the distance was close, and blood would not splatter into the bowl of food.
"If you don't dislike the two distinguished guests, then I'll wait here. You can send me anytime?" The servant in Qingyi made arrangements and a bag was slightly bulging on his forehead. However, while weighing the remaining copper coins in the bag, he felt a burst of secret joy in his heart.
What is bulging is not a bag, but wealth.
"What's your name?" Pei Yunqi lay on the railing and looked down. "There is no curtain to cover this elegant room? I'll be very excited to see here. What if they kill the weapon and a sword flew into my forehead?"
"You can just call me An Gui," the servant Qingyi could hear that she was joking, so he laughed, "There is something that distinguishes us. The cultivation center here is different from the restaurant, flower house and gambling house outside. The distinguished guests who come here focus on cultivation and courage. This is a curtain covering the curtain, which is also the characteristic of our side. The distinguished guests are excited to watch, cheer or scold, and have interactions with each other, and the atmosphere is excellent. As for the sword flying, it is not afraid. If the practitioners patrolling the field below cannot stop me, then I will use my own forehead to block the two distinguished guests. I will definitely not let the sword penetrate the precious guests' forehead."
"What matters is to practice, what is to practice courage?"
Pei Yunqi looked at the servant in green with contempt, "This is a good reason, and it is legitimate to spend money and fight. But if there is no obstacle to each other, wouldn't it make it easier for all spectators to quarrel and spend money in anger?"
"The guest and the boss are both very smart, and they have their own sense of responsibility." An Gui, the servant in Qingyi, replied without any leakage. "Many guest think that they can be not arrogant, but they cannot help but give them a chance to be arrogant."
"Bang!"
A small object with silver light hit his forehead, and a small red envelope was slowly plucked up on his forehead.
The servant An Gui in green picked up the little thing and found it was a small piece of silver. His whole body was trembling, but his mind was a little confused, "Is there any reward?"
Gu Liubai smiled.
He felt that Pei Yunqiu mainly wanted to smash people.
"Your name is An Gui, right? You are quite clever." Pei Yunqi said as if nothing had happened: "Let me ask you, your Yongning Cultivation Office and the two nearby Cultivation Offices do the same business, so why don't you be afraid of fighting each other for business?"
An Gui rubbed his fingertips against the broken silver, his heart was beating violently. He was usually very clever and his mouth twitched, "This is not the case. Our three practice centers are usually very harmonious. Although the three practice centers are all working hard to recruit practitioners and guests, the guests are thinking about the practitioners fighting one after another, and they keep watching. However, after fighting one, they have to rest. Where can so many practitioners come from the three practice centers?"
Pei Yunqi frowned, "There are not enough practitioners?"
"Maybe there are many practitioners who have seen the honored guests, but there are really not many practitioners here, and there are not many practitioners who are willing to fight hard for some money." An Gui explained carefully: "The practitioners have some unique skills. If they keep showing them, let alone the things that save their lives are seen, the master will not be very happy."
"It's right." Pei Yun nodded.
It is true that the gambling shops in Luoyang, Chang'an and Luoyang, do not play word games like the cultivation center, and practitioners fight on the table, but indeed, many true disciples of the practice area will not compete on such occasions.
Not only are secret techniques easily sniffed into the secrets, but it is also easy to hurt the harmony of each practice area due to victory or defeat.
"So it's better to grab business and attract customers together. To be honest, the three practice centers will deliberately stagger the time of the practitioners' competition." After receiving Pei Yunqi's praise, An Gui became bolder. "Our Yongning Cultivation Institute often puts more powerful practitioners in the first half of the night, and the Qingxin Cultivation Institute next to it in the middle of the night. The Qinjian Cultivation Institute mainly arranges the first battle for new practitioners. Some practitioners who have not yet fought were found in the first battle, and the three practice centers will be distributed. Our three practice centers also have their own partial connections, so guests can go there without going out."
"After changing the three practice centers in this way, each practice center has some characteristics and is not easy to get tired of it."
Listening to the business scriptures of these three cultivation centers, Pei Yunqi's eyes were slightly deeper. It sounded like it wasn't because the three cultivation centers robbed the business and caused someone to want to kill the top card of Yongning cultivation center.
"Who is the most outstanding practitioner in your Yongning Cultivation Institute?" Gu Liubai interrupted and asked.
"That must be a guest of the Western Regions." An Gui said proudly, "As long as he appears to compete with others, many noble people from the surrounding prefectures and counties will come to see him."
"Western Region Guest, is this a nickname?" Pei Yunqi frowned slightly and said softly: "Why did I hear that there was a person named Qi Yu here who played well?"
"You said Brother Qi, that's certainly good, but it's still much worse than the Western Regions guests." An Gui smiled, "The two distinguished guests don't know. Many of our three practice centers will come when they are short of money, and some of them don't want people to see the master, so they do get nicknames. This Western Regions guest is a Hu person from the Western Regions. He is good at using short swords and flying swords. When he fights, he is like dancing, flying everywhere, which is very beautiful. Here are the first-class celebrities."
"Then when will the celebrities you mentioned appear?" Pei Yunqi said coldly: "Either don't watch it, you have to watch it naturally.
"The luck of the two nobles is really unspeakable. I told you how several magpies flew in the morning and chirped." An Gui's face was blushing, "Tonight, not only the Western Regions Guest Club, but also the famous celebrity Lin Feng from the Qingxin Cultivation Institute will also appear. Not only that, some powerful newcomers from the Qinjian Cultivation Institute two days ago will also come tonight, competing with some of the previous practitioners who performed well in our Yongning Cultivation Institute."
"It's so vague, why are there so few people?" Pei Yunqiu wondered if the servant in green was nonsense.
"It's not too early, and it's still half an hour. The two nobles are really good at picking the time. After finishing their snacks and drinking tea, it will be the first time. Ah!"
Before An Gui finished speaking, another piece of silver was hit on his forehead.
Pei Yunqi sneered at him, "If it is not as lively as you said, and tear your mouth apart later, and you said so well, why haven't you delivered the food and drinks yet?"
An Gui grabbed the broken silver with one hand and touched his head with the other, and shouted outside the door with a blushing face, "You guys are going to die. If you don't send the gifts from the distinguished guests, I will jump off the building and show you."
This kind of young man in Qingyi who usually lives by rewarding money knows how to make atmosphere.
In short, it won't make the guests too bored.
During the time when food was delivered, An Gui had already had a conversation with Pei Yunqiu, and said that he and Ruolifang, the three servants who greeted guests outside the cultivation center, were all fighting orphans.
"You are all fighting orphans. Why do I think you all look like you are lazy and dilapidated?" Pei Yunqi immediately refused to believe it.
The first thing that women who have fallen into the dust in Chang'an and Luoyang is to learn is to be miserable.
Who hasn't had a miserable past?
If there really isn't, then make up one.
If you can arouse some sympathy, you can cheat some money.
Seeing Pei Yunqi seemingly disbelief, An Gui shot a muffled sound like a war drum in his chest: "How dare I talk nonsense to the distinguished guest? We want to play that trick, keep it to the tongue-pulling hell tomorrow."
Pei Yunqi was amused, "Then tell me what happened? I think you are all about the same age. Could it be that they are all orphans who fell in a big war?"
"That's not. Your mind is different from us." An Gui seemed to have not heard her ridicule, but instead flattered: "We are all orphans who fought against the Khitan Tuhu Zhenshui. That heavy rain caused our Youzhou soldiers to be punished. Among the 100 people, there were at most two or three people who came back."
"Is it true?" Pei Yunqi was stunned.
She knew very well in the battle that the Tang Empire attacked the Khitan, and 60,000 troops encountered heavy rain in the Tuguzhenshui. The rubber of the bows and arrows and crossbows was loose due to the rain. He Siding, the general of the army, was impatient and rash, and was defeated by the Khitans. In addition, the Xi army, which had originally formed an alliance with the Tang army, turned against each other, and the 60,000 troops were almost wiped out.
"You don't know what you know about the distinguished guest." An Gui sighed and said, "If the three practice centers of Lifang had just been established, some officials kept secretly hindering. They were afraid that the practitioners in the army here would not be too lazy to endure hardships and accumulate military merits, so it would be better to make money in such markets. However, later, the three practice centers took the initiative to solve the livelihood problems of our war orphans, and their attitudes were all alleviated. After that, as long as the three markets were hired, they would look for war orphans. Most of our people were war orphans in Gushanbao."
Pei Yunqiu pinched another piece of silver on his fingers, but he didn't smash it out.
The orphan of Gushan Fort... Gushan Fort is a border town that extends into the territory of the Khitans in the northeast. However, after the battle of Tuhu Zhenshui, the Khitans took the opportunity to counterattack. Gushan Fort was lost, and most of the people in the border town were dead. I heard that during that battle, many women were brave in fighting and died in battle with the border troops.
"I'm not afraid of jokes from distinguished guests."
An Gui straightened his chest at this time and said seriously, "Although we usually look like a dilapidated house, the money we have accumulated is not spent indiscriminately. Most of us did not think about buying a home in Youzhou. All we thought about was waiting for a good opportunity, enroll in a military family, and then go back to the Tuhu Zhenshui to find revenge on the Khitans."
Bang!
The broken silver in Pei Yunluo's hand finally fell on his forehead.
This is a very bad seller.
Even if there was a fake inside, she accepted it.
Because she thought of the old soldiers who died in battle in Heishawa.
But Gu Liubai sighed silently.
It's not that I feel sorry for money.
Instead, the Tang people's thinking cultivated by the tyranny of the Tang Empire was surprisingly consistent.
Anyway, I have to fight.
All those who slid around the Tang Dynasty border must be defeated if they express their dissatisfaction.
There are certainly many countries that worship the Tang Empire, but there are really many enemies of the Tang Dynasty, and he can't count them even if he keeps his fingers.
In recent years, the Tang Empire has indeed won more than defeated less.
But has the enemy finished fighting?
Not only are there not many, but the enemies raised like raising Gu are stronger.
For example, the Turkic dynasty in the past was quite easy to deal with, but the Uighurs now looked like a huge figure.
And those Persians.
Their level of making tools seems to surpass that of the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty.
The Tubo people were playing mud in the mountains for twenty years, pretending to be terrifying. Now they can rush to attack the border of the Tang Dynasty for a long distance.
It just doesn't change the habit of beating whoever wants to beat him. The emperor likes this, and most powerful ministers are also used to it.
If you stand in Liang Fengning's position and use Liang Fengning's catchphrase, it will be really annoying!
Anyway, I felt that so many people had died and had a great reputation, but the enemy became stronger and stronger as they fought. It was simply unreasonable.
...
The guests who arrived intermittently interrupted Gu Liubai's thoughts.
An Gui didn't lie.
That is, it came early enough, otherwise it would not be that easy to grab a nice room with a good location.
However, Pei Yunqi thought that the powerful people in this place were a little stupid.
If it were in Chang'an, then if you want to see such noble people who fight with practitioners, wouldn't they have already been missing some servants to come and take a good position?
However, her guess was soon slapped in the face by facts again.
A fierce quarrel broke out in the elegant room opposite the patio.
With a bang.
A middle-aged man in brocade clothes was actually beaten out of the elegant room and landed in the patio.
After the middle-aged man landed, his back was facing Pei Yunqi and Gu Liubai's body, which was like an unsteady water bottle swaying.
A handsome young man in a white fox robe in the elegant room stuck out half of his body and shouted at the middle-aged man, "Do you understand the rules? I said last night that you want this room, but you dare to rob it."
The middle-aged man opened his mouth, but coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"You perverted, do you know who wants this room?" the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and shouted.
"Isn't it the old man in the Fang family?"
The handsome young man wearing a white fox-haired robe smiled and said, "I'm so old and I'm about to be promoted to the fifth grade to manage a prefecture and county near Luoyang is worth boasting? If he comes, I will respect him as an old man. His daughter and son-in-law come to see this thing. Do I still want to sell him face?"
The middle-aged man's lips and teeth were covered with blood, but when the young man said this, he did not dare to be arrogant, and just said in a deep voice: "I don't know your honor and your name?"
"Your young man, I will not change my surname, and I will not change my name. Nie Lianshan is the same!" The young man suddenly stopped his smile and said coldly: "You remember it for me. My father is Nie Qinghou. If you don't open your eyes next time, there is no need to keep your eyes."
The middle-aged man didn't even say a word, and hurriedly left Yongning Cultivation Institute with his head hanging down.
"Document on purpose?" Gu Liubai saw some signs and asked softly in Pei Yunliu's ear.
Pei Yunqi felt that his ears were a little itchy, so he twisted his neck, looked at Gu Liubai, and said, "It's so annoying. Seeing this practitioner fighting involves a party fight."
Seeing that Gu Liubai was still unclear, she snorted and said, "Two are civil officials, but one is the one who helps the emperor to plunder money, and the other is the one who keeps the people all day long. In Chang'an, the Fang surnamed has a little advantage, but here the Nie family is more powerful. I guess the Nie family suffered a little loss in Chang'an, and they are just venting their anger."
Gu Liubai sighed, "The villagers in this village still don't support each other, and they still have to fight to vomit blood when they arrive in Chang'an?"
Pei Yunqi said sarcastically: "Those old men are very bad. There are so many brains that they can't help but secretly drink wine together, and many of them are performed for the people above."
Gu Liubai was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and asked softly, "So, if all the powerful people in Chang'an and Luoyang were directly divided into the Emperor's Sect or the Changsun Sect, can this be roughly divided?"
Pei Yunqi frowned, "If you insist on sharing this way, you can barely be able to share it except for a group of fence-skinned grass."
Gu Liubai thought for a while and said, "If you insist on this, do you have to be a member of the Emperor's sect or the Changsun sect?"
Pei Yunqi turned to look at Gu Liubai, "Why do you have to break up like this?"
"It's either black or white, and don't give yourself more choices, so that complicated things can be simpler." Gu Liubai replied seriously.
"Is that right?" Pei Yunqi felt something reasonable. She thought about it seriously and said, "If you insist on this, it should be the emperor's party. If the emperor and the Changsun clan break up, the Pei family will eventually stand on the emperor's side."
Gu Liubai whispered: "I think it's still done."
"What do you think you're still alive?" Pei Yunqi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Before you arrived in Chang'an, you think the emperor and the Changsun clan would be in trouble and ended well?"
Gu Liubai shook his head and said, "I am not a god, so how could I think of what happened in the belly of those people? I just think that slapping someone and giving some sweetness should not be done by the Changsun clan, but by the emperor."
Pei Yunqi heard what he meant, "Are you talking about Heishawa?"
Gu Liubai nodded and said, "I feel now that there is no trace of the emperor in the Heishawa incident. He originally wanted to promote the rotation of the border military and transfer some military power belonging to the Pei family into his own hands. However, the Changsun clan pushed Xie Wan to do this, but he did not want the emperor's plan to succeed easily. Even if the emperor would get some benefits from this matter, he would definitely have a large piece of meat cut by the Changsun clan. Changsun clan has been used to this method of doing things for so many years. After the emperor accumulated enough capital, he naturally couldn't bear it."
Pei Yunqi was silent.
She suddenly felt a little familiar with Gu Liubai's way of thinking about things.
Their final survival of the battle of Heishavana was because Gu Liubai simplified the situation and only investigated Zanzhu's nature.
Laws and people's hearts... Any rules or political changes seem to be accustomed to analyzing and solving problems from the perspective of seeing through a person's heart.
If you attribute all the problems in Chang'an to the problems of the emperor and Changsun Wuji, to understand any changes in the current situation, you only need to see through the hearts of the emperor and Changsun Wuji?
Keep guessing about the true hearts of these two people?
Can you become a person at that level by forcibly elevating yourself to that level?
When the servant An Gui in Qingyi saw that the two of them could whisper, he calmed down. He thought they were scared by the quarrel just now. Even though he was smart, he didn't know what to say at this time.
Because this kind of thing is very common in the three practice centers of Ruolifang.
If Lifang can control someone who deliberately makes trouble, but cannot control the powerful and powerful who deliberately makes trouble through the rules.
He could see that these two distinguished guests were here for the first time, so he hid and did not say anything about it. Among these three practice centers, the most exciting thing is not the battle between the practitioners found by the three practice centers, but the battle between the practitioners under the nobles.
Seeing that Gu Liubai and Pei Yunqi had no intention of talking to him for the time being, An Gui, the servant in blue who had always been observing his expression, finally relaxed slightly.
He rubbed the small bags that bulged on his forehead, his eyes temporarily left the faces of the two people in front of him, and fell to the patio below.
Suddenly, his eyes became fierce.
Just where the practitioners were usually preparing to appear, several figures had appeared.
One of them was a boy who was a little older than him, and he was also wearing a blue shirt, looking slightly fat, with a Hu person's face.
"Brother Zhilu, I'm here to see you today!"
In his heart, he cheered for the boy named An Zhilu.
...
Like the powerful dynasties in history, the Tang Empire always liked to mention battles that defeated the strong with the weak when it was strong, but never mentioned the only few battles that should not have been defeated but were defeated.
The battle of Tugu Zhenshui sixteen years ago actually had a profound impact on Youzhou now.
For example, the death of a large number of soldiers and practitioners made the bandits in Youzhou even more difficult to deal with in the past.
The loss of those border cities caused the Tang Dynasty to significantly reduce the trade tax on the northeastern border, and so the expenditure gap in those important towns in the northeastern border was very large, and the border troops had complaints.
Unstable military morale will bring more serious problems.
People like Luo Qing are just a microcosm of them.
Compared with the concerns of the emperor and important officials, after the border towns disappeared sixteen years ago, only a few local officials would care about the war orphans left behind.
It takes a lot of effort to properly deal with these people, and even more money, but it does not get much profit.
Even if these orphans who can live in Ruolifang'an are laughing at and beg for food, their lives are much better than those orphans who live on the streets without care.
Without the care of parents and family, we can only rely on brothers and sisters, and on those who survived together with each other.
The slightly fat young man standing on the edge of the patio is called An Zhilu.
It is the heads of these orphans in Ruolifang.
Among the orphans who were begging for food together, An Zhilu was the most looked down upon at the time.
Because he is a Hu person.
Although his father was also a military member at that time, he was just a choreographer in the army.
Looking further, the group of Hu people, including his father, were previously just prisoners of the Tang army.
However, this young man who was most looked down upon at the beginning became their head with his brain and courage, and without entering any level of practice, he has become the only practitioner among them!
Tonight, he has already fought through the first battle of the Qinjian Cultivation Institute, and will usher in his first official debut at Yongning Cultivation Institute.
An Gui and An Zhilu are the best buddies. Because they were taken care of by An Zhilu from the beginning of remembering and did not know the names of their parents, An Gui also used An as his surname.
Of course he knew better than anyone else how much hardship An Zhilu suffered.
He even knew that the most important reason why these three cultivation centers decided to use the trick of resettling orphans to convince the officials was that An Zhilu risked being beaten to death and forced herself to stop the carriage of an important figure in Ruolifang.
Thinking of this, his eyes were slightly wet.
Pei Yunqi keenly felt the strangeness of this young servant in blue.
When she turned around and saw his red eyes, Pei Yunqie was wrong. She thought An Gui was hit on the forehead with his money.
"It's too painful, right?"
Without saying a word, she threw another piece of silver over, but this time she threw it into An Gui's chest.
An Gui instantly came back to his senses.
He didn't understand why Pei Yunqiu smashed himself with the money.
However, he saw that Pei Yunqi and Gu Liubai seemed to be not difficult to speak.
So he hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but whisper: "Can you ask two distinguished guests to help?"
"?" Pei Yun was stunned, "What are you helping?"
"I will have a brother who will come out to compete with others later. I want to buy him to win." An Gui plucked up the courage and whispered: "It's either that I want to win money or that I want to encourage him. He is also fighting against orphans. It's not easy to get to this point. But we can't bet."
"Is that Hu man?"
Following An Gui's gaze, Pei Yunqi and Gu Liubai saw the slightly fat young man who was eager to try.
"Although he is a Hu man, his parents both died in the border town for my Tang Dynasty." An Gui said: "His name is An Zhilu. If he is supported by noble people, he will definitely achieve great achievements."
"So sure?"
Pei Yunqi smiled and joked: "Then how many taels of silver do you want us to buy for you to bet he won?"
"It's just to express my support for him, it's not for money. If I invest too much, outsiders may think we know something insider, and our own people will invest in our own people." An Gui embarrassedly handed Pei Yunyu a piece of silver, "Just help me invest in this part."
"You are a bit conscientious in your work." Pei Yunqi looked at An Gui and felt a little pleasing to her. She tried to support this person. Looking at the broken silver handed to her by An Gui, she immediately smiled contemptuously, "What, can I take back the silver I gave?"
An Gui was stunned. He didn't know what Pei Yunqi meant.
Pei Yunqi waved his hand and said disdainfully: "Since I've given it to you, you'll keep it. Such a small piece of silver is almost half a stake of copper coins. I'll help you to gamble on the copper coins for you later. If you win, you will be counted for me."
"How does this make!"
An Gui shook his head repeatedly, and he wanted to say something else, but Gu Liubai smiled and said, "No matter how much you say, she will be angry."
"Thank you two distinguished guests!"
An Gui's eyes were full of gratitude. He quickly left the door and whispered a few instructions.
After a while, a servant in green ran over and delivered two pots of wine.
Gu Liubai just sniffed the smell of wine and smiled in Pei Yunliu's ear, "These two pots of wine are from Persia, and are worth at least two stale coins."
"I like this person. Anyway, if you want to hire people, why would I take him back to Chang'an at that time?" Pei Yun said softly without hesitation.
Gu Liubai glanced at her, "When will Miss Pei Er have to discuss with me when to hire a person?"
"That's right." Pei Yunqi smiled arrogantly.
"My brother, An Zhilu, is a newcomer who just passed the Qinjian Cultivation Institute. He will be the first to appear later. His opponent is Guan Shanke. He has already competed in two games at our Yongning Cultivation Institute. One wins and one loss before." An Gui whispered while pouring wine for the two, "Actually, in my opinion, the two are almost the same strength, and it is not easy to say who wins and who loses."
"Afraid that we will lose money?" Pei Yun turned the wine glass and saw the amber-colored wine in the wine glass hanging evenly on the wall of the wine glass. The strong fruit and wine aroma poured into her nose. She knew that what Gu Liubai said was true. These two pots of wine were definitely worth two chunks of copper coins.
"The two distinguished guests are probably not short of money, but I naturally want them to win a lot of money." An Gui smiled, "Winning money is always happier than losing money."
"It's so slow, why haven't you started yet?" Pei Yunqi looked at the surrounding elegant rooms and patios with people everywhere. After drinking two glasses of wine, she became a little impatient.
It’s always been waiting for her, but there is no reason why she waits for others.
"It's almost." An Gui suddenly smiled, "The two distinguished guests often have good shows at this time."
What a good show?
Pei Yunqi became curious, but before she could ask questions, she heard someone sneer loudly below, "What are you looking at?"
"What do you think?"
"Do you deserve a beating?"
"What, is your head harder than my fists?"
"Let's touch each other?"
"It's okay if you don't touch it!"
Pei Yunqi and Gu Liubai watched as the two jumped into the patio.
"Most of the people sitting next to the courtyard are very brave and like the smell of blood, so they can easily fight each other if they don't like each other." An Gui explained softly with a smile, "Sometimes there are good things, deliberately provoking troubles. Some people in the martial arts world are good at playing swords and guns, but their brains are not very easy to use, and they fight as soon as they are excited. It took seven or eight days in ten days, and old guests get used to it. After watching this scene, the main show begins."
"That's right!"
Pei Yunqi was also excited and shouted at one of the more burly men, "That brother is born with divine power at first glance. I'm optimistic about you!"
The burly man whose flesh on his face was as hard as iron, suddenly laughed and bowed to Pei Yun.
But Gu Liubai looked at An Gui and smiled slightly, "It took seven or eight days in ten days to do this. I think it was probably because your cultivation center deliberately instigated it?"
An Gui grinned, squeezed his eyes and smiled, "I don't understand this, but I think if you come to run such a cultivation center, you will probably be full and make a lot of money."
Gu Liubai smiled but did not speak. Pei Yunqi turned his head and looked at Gu Liubai, "Why would you like to go to Chang'an, I will open a such cultivation center for you?"
"It's OK." Gu Liubai smiled and said, "I like to sit and enjoy the fruits of it the most."
"The bastard likes to be cheap and behave well."
Pei Yun snorted heavily.
It’s all for others to say this as a joke, but what a person is Pei Yunqi?
If you say you can drive one, you can drive one.
At this time, the two people in the patio had already started fighting.
Both of them are very irritable, but they are not reckless when they start to act.
The burly man whose flesh on his face was as flesh as iron, a black glow appeared all over his body, and he was wrapped in a thick layer of body protection. During several breaths, his whole body seemed to be covered with a thick layer of iron clothes.
"Sixth grade?"
Pei Yunqi was shocked.
Even in Chang'an, it is impossible for two spectators to jump up, and one of them is a sixth-grade monk.
"It's not the sixth grade, it's the fifth grade." Gu Liubai's voice sounded in her ears again, "This person practiced the Tielite technique in the past. This technique has no serious name, and it's a bit troublesome to practice. He has to squat on the cold spring all year round to stimulate the true qi with the cold aura. The fifth grade true qi looks like the effect of the sixth grade true qi, as if the true qi flows on the surface of the body. In fact, it's just some cold air accumulated in the blood in the body that is forced out, not as powerful as the sixth grade body protection true qi."
The one who faced this burly man was a man in his forties with a purple-red face, and his body was very strong, but he was half a head shorter than the burly man.
"What a weird thing."
Seeing the burly man's body-protecting energy gushing, he was startled, but immediately realized that the other party was only a fifth-grade, so he shouted and cursed, not afraid.
He had no change in his body, but when his hands were stretched out, there was a faint flow of blue and black air flowing in his skin.
His hands sometimes turned blue and sometimes turned black, which was very strange.
"Do you fucking call me a weird thing?"
The burly man jumped back and his face changed, "Is there anything more evil than you, the poisonous hand,? Can this thing be taken out to fight?"
The man with a purple-red face smiled, "Will you touch me?"
The burly man jumped to the place where he was sitting dejectedly, "What are you touching? If you get this thing, you may not be able to get rid of the poison after drinking the medicine soup for a few years. You go to play Tubo and calculate the ball, what are you doing with our own people?"
"You are a little interesting, have two pots?" The man with a purple-red face looked at him.
"I can't drink you to death." The burly man turned around and asked for wine.
"I won't fight now?" Pei Yunqi shouted at the burly man depressedly, "That brother, I think you can do it."
"No, this thing really cannot be touched, it will be poisoned as soon as it is touched." The burly man was a bachelor, honestly admitting that he admitted to his conscience.
"If you are poisoned, you are poisoned. What are you afraid of! Just do it!" Pei Yunqi was so worried about watching the fun that he was not afraid of big things.
The burly man glanced at her helplessly, "I look so pretty, why is this brain not easy to use?"
"What's the point, my brain is not easy to use?"
If Gu Liubai hadn't pulled Pei Yunqi and reminded her to hold Duan Ai's face now, Pei Yunqi, who was raising the railing, would have jumped down by himself.
“Woo…”
Suddenly there was a horn sound.
It's like suddenly pulling people to the battlefield of war.
An Gui smiled with relief, "The competition between two distinguished guests, Yongning Cultivation Institute will begin soon."
Before An Gui finished his words, the sounds of musical instruments such as 日本, pipa, huba, Qiang flute, zheng, feng, sheng and other instruments suddenly sounded, and the sad song sound was like the sound of the wind blowing on the corner of the border town in everyone's heart.
"Don't laugh at me when you are drunk on the battlefield. How many people have returned from war in ancient times..." Accompanied by the song, several gauze-covered gurus with gauze on their faces danced on the edge of the patio.
"There are these flower jobs?"
Pei Yunqiu didn't expect that there would be such a pomp.
It is undeniable that anyone who has experienced the war will easily be pulled into memories in such music.
The atmosphere is indeed very good.
A white-clothed Confucian scholar appeared on the stage. He cleared his throat and greeted all the guests first. Then, in the sound of many people knocking on the tabletops and railings, he introduced the two sides of the first battle today.
Chapter completed!
