Peach and plum spring breeze and a glass of wine

A man who planted two jujube trees in front of his hometown said: Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same. I just think they are noisy.

While everyone in the imperial court was holding their breath and waiting to see the battle between kings and ministers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the vast world of China was agitated about another incident.

And coincidentally, this matter is also related to Yang Ge...

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a new list of heroes in the world was announced.

With the name of Yang Erlang, the Sage Revealed True King, Yang Ge was on the list of heroes and firmly occupied the position of swordsman.

In the previous lists of heroes in the world, Louwailou will comment on the heroes, beauties and magic soldiers on the list in order to convince the public.

When it comes to Yang Ge, there is no exception.

Louwailou merged his two vests, Yang Erlang and Zhang Mazi, starting from the three major grain merchants hoarding and driving up grain prices, and ending with Duan Yu, the King of Hell who gave him the Leng Yue sword before his defeat, in detail. A timeline and footprint line were drawn up.

Including why he went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, how he made friends with Lian Lianwu, and why he went to Hangzhou to help Lian Lianwu, they all gave a very detailed overview in a speculative tone.

The speculation is very close to the facts, and the perspective is fairly neutral. It is not because Yang Ge killed many Louwailou assassins in Yangzhou that he distorted the facts or smeared him...

Of course, it is also possible that there are too many people who have witnessed it, and both Yang Erlang and Zhang Mazi are too famous in the world. Forcibly distorting and smearing it will only destroy the golden legacy of Louwailou that has been passed down for two to three hundred years. Because of the sign.

Before the news of this issue of Jianghu Heroes List came out.

Yang Ge's two names, Yang Erlang and Timely Rain Zhang Mazi, are very famous in the world.

However, the two names are popular in their own way, and each has its own admirers. There is still a sense of opposition between them, and they look at each other vaguely, and neither one is convinced by the other. This is often the case in places where people from all walks of life frequently come and go. Jianghu Ke brought Yang Erlang and Zhang Mazi out to compete.

The reason for this situation is naturally that Zhang Mazi is a Jianghu guest, while Yang Erlang is an official.

The opposition between these two identities actually represents the attitude of Jianghu guests towards the imperial court. Some are close to him and some are hostile to him.

Now that the two names of Yang Erlang and Zhang Mazi have been merged in Louwailou, the two groups of admirers who were vaguely opposed to each other suddenly realized: neither Yang Erlang nor Zhang Mazi were on the side of the court, nor were they on the other side of the court. He did not stand on one side of the world, but stood on the other side of the people from beginning to end.

Whether it was Yang Erlang or Zhang Mazi, they were not merciless when they killed corrupt officials who had no regard for human life, and they were also merciless when they were strangling the scum who helped them to commit crimes...

Those who are great knights will be treated equally!

Since then, Yang Erlang, the Sage Revealed True Lord, has been as famous as the Quan Zhen Sword Immortal Li Qing!

He was so popular that two famous rising stars, Xiang Wudi, the Overlord Spear of the Jiangdong Xiang Family, and Yan Bufan, the Luoying Sword of the Huashan Sword Sect, who were both on the list of heroes, were overshadowed by him.

Yes, although Li Changjiang, the old master of Lianlianwu, Crossing the River Dragon, broke through and cleaned up the family, that battle still exposed the fact that his practice went astray and he was strong on the outside and was strong on the inside, and he fell down the list of heroes.

The alternation between old and new swordsmen is similar to the alternation between old and new swordsmen. The new swordsman defeated the previous swordsman in full view of the public and won the title of swordsman...

Xiang Wudi and Yan Bufan are both rising stars who have been on the list of heroes for many years. They should have used this update of the list of heroes to dominate the world and be admired by everyone.

It's a pity that he bumped into Yang Erlang, a dark horse who went straight to the hero list without even going to the fish and dragon list, and he had no choice but to become a foil.

It is worth mentioning that Yang Tiansheng also succeeded in refining Qi after getting stuck, and successfully entered this issue of the Fish and Dragon Ranking. His ranking is not low, ranking seventh as soon as he entered the ranking.

But even the two new heroes Xiang Wudi and Yan Bufan were in disgrace, let alone him being a mere seventh in the rankings?

I don't know how many times Yang Tiansheng secretly scolded him Yang Laoer, you really deserve to die in the face of the fact that he had finally made it to the top of the rankings, but few people in the world talked about his title of Rising Sun Sword.

The whole world was talking about Yang Erlang's name, so much so that no one cared about the joyous news that after the previous Heroes List was updated, those deceased giants who failed to make the list flocked to challenge the successful ones.

A rumor came out somewhere in the middle of the process, saying that in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as long as you say I recognize Yang Erlang, the sesame cakes you buy will be bigger than others...

Many Jianghu people heard this rumor and tried it.

It's really bigger than others.

…

‘The True Monarch of the Revealed Saint? ’

Fang Ke came to Yuelai Inn in disguise, looked at the list of heroes in his arms, and then looked at the Xian Sheng Zhenjun himself standing in front of the inn door with a smile on his face, soliciting guests, and there was always a huge absurdity in his heart. feel.

After Yang Ge had just received a table of customers, he turned around and saw Fang Ke standing motionless outside the inn door.

This guy had a beard and was dressed like a rich man. Yang Ge didn’t recognize this guy at first glance, but he smiled and took the initiative to clasp his hands and said: Sir, would you like to tip your hat? The weather is getting warmer. The shop’s signature copper pot mutton will be out for spring break soon, would you like to come in and try it?”

Fang Ke was so frightened by his bow that he trembled and hurriedly whispered: Sir, it's me.

Yang Ge leaned back and looked at this guy carefully from beginning to end before he recognized him.

At that moment, he no longer asked the guy anything. He turned sideways and made a please gesture with one hand toward the inner store. He pushed the guy's back gently with the other hand, turned around and sang in a high and high-pitched voice: A set of mutton in a copper pot. , two kilograms of mutton, and another half a kilogram to reveal the fragrance!

Okay!

Zhang Erniu, the waiter in the hall, shouted at the hall: Sir, please take a seat.

Fang Ke whispered: Sir, I have already eaten.

Yang Ge whispered: Anyway, you are not short of money...

Fang Ke:......

‘Okay, let’s go, this is mutton cut by the Holy Lord Xian Sheng himself, no one will believe it! ’

He forced a smile, returned the greeting to the old shopkeeper who came out, and walked inside.

As a must-visit road pavilion for Jianghu travelers, the business of Yuelai Inn has always been very good, and it is even more busy during meal time.

Yang Ge was so busy that after about two o'clock, he finally had time to go to the second floor to find Fang Ke.

And Fang Ke, who kept saying that he had already eaten, had already wiped out more than half of the mutton on the table.

Damn, didn't you say you had already eaten?

There was no one on the second floor, so Yang Ge sat down directly on the table, took out an empty bowl and poured some ingredients for himself without noticing anything.

As soon as he went upstairs, Fang Ke stood up.

Yang Ge waved to him while picking up some snacks: Sit down, where will you stand when you give me money?

this……

Fang Keqiang smiled and swallowed, turned his head to please and shouted downstairs: Second brother, give me another two kilograms of mutton for a certain family.

Snapped.

Yang Ge slapped his chopsticks on the bowl and cursed in a low voice with a straight face: Are you Biao? I just sat down!

Fang Ke said Ah in a daze.

Yang Ge stood up silently and went downstairs. After a while, he came up with a big tray of mutton with a slumped face.

Fang Ke hurriedly stood up to pick it up, but Yang Ge opened his claws with a slap.

He sat down again, pierced half a plate of mutton with chopsticks, and poured it into a copper pot to rinse it: Tell me, why did you come to the inn today?

Fang Ke said to himself, I'm afraid you'll beat me up when I go to your house. I feel a little safer when I come to the inn. He quickly took out the list of heroes he copied and handed it to Yang Ge with both hands.

Yang Ge took it and took a look at it, then threw it back casually: Is that just for this?

'At once? ’

Fang Ke was stunned for a second, and immediately said eagerly: Sir, you don't know how the world is evaluating you now. Many people in the world now praise you as the 'No. 1 person in the world of Xiping'. Take your Compete with 'Quan Zhen Sword Immortal' Li Qing...

Yang Ge ate the hot-boiled mutton with big mouthfuls and said without knowing why, What next?

Fang Ke looked confused: What then?

Yang Ge's fist hardened: Then you came to our inn just for this trivial matter? Don't you have any idea about your identity?

Fang Ke caught a glimpse of his fist with bulging veins from the corner of his eye. He immediately sat upright and said concisely: Master Qi, Master Shen has been promoted to the commander of the Xiuyi Guards. He promoted me to replace Qin Feng. He also transferred the left deputy Qianhu back to the Beizhen Prefecture... From now on, it is you who have the final say when we go to the right office!

After hearing this, Yang Ge clenched his fists and said nonchalantly: So, the court thinks that the matter in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is not yet hot enough, right?

Fang Ke said this, that, not daring to accept his words.

The beating Mr. Shen received was not in vain!

Yang Ge picked up a plate of mutton and put it into the copper pot: If you don't reinstate me and promote you, you can prevent me from causing trouble to the court, and you can pester me to prevent me from going to Beijing to beat him. I saved my face... Tsk, you are worthy of being a commander!

Fang Ke's whole body felt bad.

What did I say?

I just said, Go back, go right, so you have the final say. How did you guess so many things?

You have long planned in your mind that if the court fails to act, you will go to Beijing again and beat Mr. Shen up, right? Do you even want to go in and take a look at Ziwei Palace?

You must be thinking so, right?

Otherwise, how could you see through so many things at once?

When he thought of Gu Qianhu's earnest, hard-and-fast instructions before leaving, Fang Ke suddenly felt that he was only one step away from the stable!

‘No, I’m not even warm enough to wear my prison ox-embroidered clothes! ’

Fang Ke was wailing in his heart, but he didn't dare to say a word on his face, for fear of reminding Yang Ge, he threw his chopsticks again and ran to the capital to beat Mr. Shen violently.

Cai Cai has just taken up his post as commander. If you try to trouble him at this time, it's hard to say what will happen to Yang Ge, but he, Fang Ke, is definitely dead, and no one can save him...

He didn't speak, and Yang Ge didn't make things difficult for him anymore. He waved his hand calmly and said, Okay, if you have nothing to do, go back first... Don't forget to pay!

But the calmer he was, the more panicked Fang Ke felt.

Based on his understanding of his boss, when something really happens, the calmer his attitude is, the bigger the thunder behind him will be!

He couldn't get his brain to move, and no one knew what ground-breaking ideas it might come up with if it moved.

Sir, don't be anxious or get angry. We can discuss whatever happens.

Fang Ke did not dare to move, nor did he dare to mention the capital or Lord Shen. He tried his best to divert Yang Ge's attention: You must be really worried about the situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I will lead my brothers south first. We have something to do in the upper right office. Brother Qianhao, even if you hit the water, you can still get a few bubbles, right?

Yang Ge smiled and patted his shoulder, and said slowly: It's not that I'm looking down on you. It's true that this time is different from our last time. Last time, we didn't break up with each other, and all the officials were still worried about the emperor. We acted quickly, and before they could react, we got the job done quickly.

This time, the superiors are already in trouble. Everyone is holding back their energy to give the emperor the big news. If you go again, you will immediately have to beat the dog with meat buns. You may go to any mountain col, and there will be no sound. It’s gone…”

After all, that is the territory of the Zhejiang Party and King Ning. They have the home field advantage. Even if the emperor sends capable officials and large armies to go south, once a fight breaks out, they may not be able to clean up the mess in a short time.

Having said this, he couldn't help but sigh softly and said calmly: To be honest, I can actually understand the emperor's thinking. If you have a sore, it cannot be cured. You can only treat the sore. I have found all the places where I fell, and then I cut them all out with a ruthless hand. The long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain.

That's how you do it. You really don't treat the common people as human beings!

In prosperity, the people suffer; in death, the people suffer...

Listening to these words that could lead to the confiscation of his home and the destruction of his family, Fang Ke didn't even think that he was being treasonous, but the word emperor echoed over and over in his mind.

He didn't even bother to call His Majesty, he just called Emperor! ! !

Doesn't he really want to visit Ziwei Palace? ? ?

Yang Ge didn't hear a sound from him after talking for a long time. When he turned around, he saw that his face was pale and his forehead was sweating...

He laughed and slapped his head sideways: What are you thinking about?

Fang Ke held his waist, looked at him intently, and replied tremblingly: It's not important what I think about. What's important is... what do you think about?

Yang Ge ate the boiled mutton and replied calmly: I think nothing is important. What is important is that you ask yourself, no matter how outrageous what I, Yang Ge, do, have I ever harmed you?

Fang Ke thought about it for a long time, but he really couldn't say that Yang Ge had harmed them without conscience.

He had been with Mr. Shen for two years, and he was still just a small flag officer.

He had only been with Yang Ge for a year and a half, and he was already deputy to a thousand households.

What kind of implication is this?

He was silent for a long time and sighed heavily: Seriously, do you have the word 'fear' in your heart?

Without waiting for Yang Ge to answer, he said to himself: After following you for so long, I sometimes feel that you don't look like a member of our Wei Dynasty at all.

You have many more things in mind than we do, such as right and wrong, truth, and fairness!

You have a lot less in your heart than we do, such as awe, ambition, and tolerance!

I think this may be the reason why the Holy One does not dare to use you. The Tian family wants ministers who are only loyal to him, and what you are loyal to is your own conscience...

Yang Ge smiled and asked: Then do you think it's good or bad for me to do this?

Fang Ke smiled bitterly and said: You think too highly of me, how can I evaluate you?

Yang Ge: Okay, don't think too much, and don't put too much pressure. We have worked together through thick and thin for so long, and we can be considered friends no matter what. When you take office as a new official, it will be for your sake. , I won’t do anything to embarrass you at this juncture... Tsk, I have to say that your Lord Shen is a man who knows how to manipulate me. Even in this situation, he can still teach him to think of ways to manipulate me. I’m so convinced!”

When Fang Ke heard him say friend, his face that was bitter a second ago suddenly brightened up with a smile, and his heart was full of pride. He felt that no matter how evil he was, it was just a passing smoke!

Okay, don't just advise me, you also have to advise yourself not to think too much and not to be too stressed. No matter how big the issue is, we can discuss it. No matter what the capital thinks, we can The thousands of brothers in Shangyousuo will always listen to your greetings. As long as you make up your mind, no matter how hard you go, you will climb mountains of swords and descend into seas of fire. They will never even frown!

Yang Ge smiled and nodded, indicating for him to return first.

Fang Ke stood up, clasped his hands, and strode away.

Yang Ge ate the boiled mutton, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

He put down his chopsticks and poured himself half a glass of wine.

Yeah, I didn't do the bad things. How can I be the only one to cause internal friction?

He raised his cup and gestured toward the west, and said softly: If you want to make trouble, you should make trouble together. It's better to have fun alone than to have fun together!

There should be a second chapter later, but as everyone knows, it won’t be released until at least around two in the morning, so if you go to bed early, don’t wait, just get up and read it tomorrow morning...
