Peach and plum spring breeze and a glass of wine

Lift the coffin!

The eight married embroidered warriors shouted loudly, lifted the heavy coffin and stood up slowly.

Yang Ge, who was dressed in mourning and mourning, stood in front of the coffin, tightly holding the pottery basin for burning paper money, seemingly at a loss.

Upon seeing this, Liu Mang, who was shouting slogans on one side, rushed to him in three steps and two steps at a time. He held the pottery basin in his hand high above his head and said loudly: Throw the basin.

Snapped.

The pottery basin shattered on the ground.

When the pottery basin is dropped, yin and yang are separated.

The fate of this life is over...

…

Three days later.

Yang Gejing sat under the grape trellis of his home, reading the secret book on returning the five elements to vitality.

A grape leaf that had survived the winter fell silently in the warm spring breeze.

He bent down to pick up the grape leaf and gently put it into the secret book in his hand.

Xiao Huang, who was lying at his feet, stood up and gently touched his palm with her wet nose.

Are you hungry?

Yang Ge stroked its head: I'm going to cook.

He put the secret book on the desk, stood up, rolled up his sleeves and walked to the stove room.

Xiao Huang followed him with his tail hanging down. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the courtyard door.

Bang bang bang.

The courtyard door was slammed loudly.

Yang Ge put down the apron he just took off and walked slowly over to open the courtyard door.

Liu Mang stood outside the door, raising a bunch of oil paper bags and two jars of rice wine in his hand: Have you eaten?

Yang Ge smiled and said, No.

Liu Mang raised his foot and crossed the threshold: That's just right!

Yang Ge closed the courtyard door, turned around and walked into the kitchen room again: Sit down and I'll steam some rice... The secret book on the table was given to me by a friend. I can't show it to anyone else without his permission.

Liu Mang, who was looking at the five characters Five Elements Return to Vitality on the cover of the secret book and was thinking about it, sighed heavily when he heard the sound.

He put the cooked food and wine in his hands on the table, strolled outside the stove house, leaned against the door frame of the stove house and said in a deep voice: Are you Yang Erlang and Zhang Mazi?

In the stove room, Yang Ge was concentrating on banging the flint to start a fire. When he heard the sound, he casually replied: Yes.

Liu Mang:......

He felt that something was not right, but he didn't know what was wrong.

After thinking for a while, he wondered: Now you are finally willing to tell me?

Yang Ge smiled: Then you never asked me before.

Liu Mang: Then if I asked you before, would you recognize me?

Yang Ge: I definitely don't recognize it.

Liu Mang: Then don't you still treat your brother like a fool?

Yang Ge shook his head: If you think about it clearly, you won't ask me this question.

Liu Mang took a deep breath. He actually knew that he shouldn't ask.

But this question has been stuck in his throat for seven or eight days, and he really can't spit it out.

He sorted out his chaotic thoughts, and still asked with a bit of disbelief: So, are you really the Embroidery Guard Qianhu?

Yang Ge thought for a while and replied: It used to be, but not now.

Liu Mang: So, you robbed all the grain from the three major grain merchants?

Yang Ge: I robbed it.

Liu Mang: So, you really killed those corrupt officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Yang Ge: I killed him.

Liu Mang: So, Duan Yu, the 'King of Hell who seeks life', also died under your sword?

Yang Ge: He died by my sword.

Liu Mang: So, Yang Erlang, the 'Sage Revealed True Monarch' on the list of heroes in the world, is really you?

Yang Ge: It's me...

The question that had been lingering in his mind for many days was answered, but Liu Mang only felt that his mind was getting blurry.

Liu Mang scratched the back of his head vigorously and asked in a broken voice: What is going on? Who are you? How could a big shot like you work as a waiter at Yuelai Inn?

Yang Ge smiled and said: Things are actually not as complicated as you think. When the old shopkeeper took me in, I was indeed homeless and homeless. The old shopkeeper's kindness and kindness to me, It’s all true!”

He glanced at Liu Mang, whose face was full of collapse, and continued without waiting for him to ask questions: During the grace martial arts test, Jiang Kui made a scene in our inn, do you still remember it? It was the old shopkeeper who called you Let’s go back to Luting.”

Liu Mang tried his best to clear his mind and nodded: Remember.

Yang Ge lowered his head to wash rice: The kicking skills left by Jiang Kui were the first martial arts I learned.

Liu Mang shook his head vigorously: No way, when I go home, your martial arts will be just as good as mine!

Yang Ge: There is a kind of gifted physique in the world. He is born with a body as jade and a hundred meridians. This physique is also called the 'little master's body'. Have you heard of it?

Liu Mang's eyes widened and he looked at him in disbelief: Don't say you have the body of a little master!

Yang Ge put the washed rice into the hot water, and while slowly stirring it, he replied calmly: I don't want to have this kind of physique, I just want to be a waiter in our inn, and be safe and sound. I have to live this life...but I just am.

It was because I had this kind of physique that Jiang Kui gave me the leg skills. The Xiuyi Guard Qianhu who was responsible for escorting Jiang Kui to Beijing at that time is the current Xiuyi Guard Commander Shen Fa. He also gave me this kind of kicking skills because of my physical fitness. With this kind of physique, I was forcibly recruited into the Xiuyi Guard.

He glanced at Liu Mang and said softly: What do you think I have a choice about?

Liu Mang's brain was overloaded and he couldn't say a word.

Yang Ge stirred the rice grains cooking in the pot: You should know what happened next. The three major grain dealers are hoarding goods and driving up prices. I am the general banner of Luting Xiuyiwei, and I see that the neighbors are living well. It was so miserable that I robbed the three major grain merchants of their grain and distributed it to them...

Because of that incident, I was promoted to Xiu Yiwei Shangyou Suo Qianhu.

Didn't the three major grain merchants invite people from the Changfeng Gang to kill me? After I became a thousand households, I went to Jiangnan to find trouble with the Changfeng Gang. I followed the clues along the way and killed the one in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Corrupt officials.”

Because of this incident, all the officials in Qianhu were gone, and the emperor demoted me to a cook in the upper right office.

As for my martial arts, when I robbed the three major grain merchants, I was not much better than you are now.

When I went to Jiangnan, I refined my essence and energy. At that time, because of the investigation, I owed Lianlianwu a favor. Duan Yu wanted to cause trouble for Lianlianwu, so I killed Duan Yu and paid back Lianlianwu. Wu is a favor.

Then, this year I was on the list of heroes...

Liu Mang rubbed his head and shouted loudly in his heart, It's right, it's right, it's all right.

He remembered that when Zhang Mazi went on a killing spree in Luting and beat the Changfeng Gang to pieces, the next day, Yang Ge fell ill inexplicably and couldn't stand still.

When Zhang Mazi and Yang Erlang became famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it was also the time when Yang Ge took leave to go out on business...

Yang Ge drained the boiled rice grains from the large iron pot, rinsed the large iron pot, and steamed the rice in a rice steamer.

Then he filled two small bowls with two bowls of rice soup and handed one to Liu Mang: As for why I wanted to hide it from you, it's the same as why I opposed you opening a martial arts gym. As for the things I did, any one of them If it happens to you, it will be a big disaster that will destroy your family!

This time in my house... the old man left. I couldn't bear to let him leave in such a deserted way. I made things worse when I was relieved. Now I'm afraid anyone with a little bit of brains knows that I, Yang Ge, am Yang Erlang, Zhang Mazi.

Liu Mang was holding the steaming rice soup, and he always felt that Yang Ge's last words were a roundabout way of scolding him.

But he didn't think so. After all, he understood clearly that Yang Ge belonged to Yang Erlang and Zhang Mazi.

The two of them returned to sit under the grape trellis with rice soup, and opened a few bags of cooked food that Liu Mang brought.

Liu Mang drank half a bowl of rice soup, put the bowl down and asked, What are you going to do now?

Yang Ge shook his head: I don't know, what should I do...

Liu Mang: You don't know?

Yang Ge: I'm not a god. I don't have the ability to deal with things. Previously, I could only worry about the old man's funeral. I can't worry about the living, but how can I care about the dead?

Liu Mang felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said. He thought about it and asked, Is this why you haven't returned to the inn these days?

Yang Ge asked back: Do you think I can go back to the inn?

Liu Mang slapped the table: Why can't you go back? The rules of the world are: no harm will come to your family. What you do is all business and good deeds. What are you afraid of!

Yang Ge shook his head and said slowly: That's what you say, but we can't rely on the safety of our family on whether others have a conscience or abide by the rules... What if? What if there is such a heartless person? , unruly pickled things, but I can't help it, so they stretch their claws towards the old shopkeeper and sister-in-law, what should I do?

If something goes wrong, we'll just cut the meat into mincemeat with the hands on it, so what can we do to save it?

Except for life and death, everything is a trivial matter...

Liu Mang stroked his temples and felt a headache: Then what should I do?

Yang Ge ate the pig head meat and thought for a long time before asking, Are you interested in going to the capital to develop?

Liu Mang understood what he meant and replied: We can go anywhere, but the old man is afraid that he won't go anywhere.

Yang Ge remembered the old shopkeeper's old appearance, opened the wine on the table and poured out two glasses. He raised the glasses and said, After all, I have caused trouble for you...

Liu Mang held a cup in his hand and patted Yang Ge's shoulder gently with the other hand: If you really want to talk about this, it's our old Liu family who has caused trouble for you. If you hadn't prevented our old Liu family from disaster, you wouldn't have done anything like this. thing.

Yang Ge shook his head: You have to say this. If the old shopkeeper hadn't given me a bowl of food and a roof over my head, I would have frozen to death on the street two years ago. How could I be where I am today?

When he said that, what Liu Mang thought of was the unconventional scene of Yang Ge killing officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang like dogs, then returning to the inn, bowing to everyone he met and smiling in apology. He couldn't help laughing and said: This may be a good person. May there be good news!

Yang Ge poured wine for him, thought for a moment and then said: It doesn't matter if the old shopkeeper doesn't want to go to the capital. I bought the inn at a high price. From now on, I will run it as usual. Our two families go back and forth in private... You don't believe that I'm in the inn. If there is no other intention, others will naturally not believe it.

As time goes by, others will only think that I was a hidden stake in the embroidered clothes guard, lurking in the inn, and will not think of our family as relatives.

I will quietly send two more embroidered guard banners to guard the old shopkeeper and sister-in-law near your home, and there should be no big problem anymore.

Liu Mang immediately caught the blind spot in his words, slapped the table and said: You also said that you are not the embroidered clothing guard Qianhu!

Yang Ge: As the cook in charge of the upper right office, I can mobilize a few flag-embroidered uniform guards. It's normal, right?

Liu Mang: Is this normal?

Yang Ge: Isn't this normal?

Liu Mang: This is not normal!

Yang Ge: If I say normal, he will be normal!

Liu Mang was too lazy to talk to him. After taking two sips of wine, he suddenly smiled and said: Inns are all trivial matters... You said you are so arrogant now, brother, can your martial arts school benefit from you?

Yang Ge finally didn't roll his eyes at him: It's already this time, are you still thinking about your useless martial arts school?

At the right time, Xiao Huang stood at the door of the kitchen house, barking.

Yang Ge quickly stood up and walked quickly to the kitchen...the rice was going to be burnt!

Liu Mang followed his footsteps: Why did you destroy the martial arts gym? My brother has brought out two apprentices who have achieved a certain level of strength this year. If they are put into the world, they will all be good players who can make a name for themselves, right?

Yang Ge entered the stove house, first added some water to the large iron pot that was about to dry up, and then took out the firewood in the stove: What do you want to do, just say it!

Liu Mang rubbed his hands: After apprentices have learned martial arts, they must have a way to earn a living, right? They can't all go out to rob families and homes, right? Wouldn't that take away your Yang Erlang's face and throw it away...

Yang Ge filled out a large bowl of rice and handed it to him: Come on, let's talk about it.

Liu Mang took over the job with a smile on his face: Don't you have a good relationship with Lianlianwu? Do you think our martial arts school can make a living by doing odd jobs from Lianlianwu?

Yang Ge held rice in his hand for Xiao Huang and replied without interest: There is a steward at the dock named Wu Eryong. If you go back and treat him to a meal, just say you are my brother. He will definitely do it if you don't ask too much. I’m selling you this face...but don’t just take it from everyone else. If I hear someone using the banner of our two brothers to act recklessly and bully the market, if you can’t do it, I can do it!”

Liu Mang nodded repeatedly: Brother, save me... Hey, eating so early? I only had a few sips of that wine!

Yang Ge: What do my brothers drink and eat?

Liu Mang: You are a loser!

Yang Ge: Give me my job!

Liu Mang: I won't pay it back!

The two of them came out of the stove carrying a rice bowl as big as their face and ate rice with cooked rice soup.

Brother, I will discuss the matter with the old man when I get back today about the inn. It's not a big problem.

Liu Mang said vaguely: The old man can't work anymore, and I'm not interested in the inn. If I leave it to you, we both can rest assured...

Yang Ge replied: Tell the old shopkeeper what you can say, and don't say a word about what you can't. I will only look after the inn for your old Liu family for a period of time. I will definitely return it to the inn intact in the future. You old Liu family.

What else can I give you?

Liu Mang waved his chopsticks and said loudly and proudly: I don't want my children to be innkeepers in the future. If they do, they should be young innkeepers. How majestic!

Tsk.

Yang Ge picked out a chopstick of pork head meat and said softly in a sinister tone: Prodigal son!

Without waiting for Liu Mang to reply, he added: I won't go back to the inn now. I will go to Jiangnan in a few days. When I go out, no one will keep an eye on you anymore. You can help with the purchase and sale procedures of the inn. Let's get it sorted out. The inn is no longer in your family's name, and the apparent friendship between our two families will be completely severed...

Liu Mang raised his head and looked at him blankly: Going to Jiangnan? Why are you going to Jiangnan again?

Yang Ge wrote lightly: There are a group of Japanese little devils who are making trouble along the coast. I will send them back to their hometown...

handy!

Liu Mang's eyes shone, he patted down his chopsticks and grabbed his forearm and said loudly: This is a damn good day, take brother, take brother with you!

Yang Ge gently picked up the chopsticks in his hand, and three inches of sword light spurted out from the chopsticks: If you can catch this chopstick, I will take you with me.

Liu Mang: (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻
