Peach and plum spring breeze and a glass of wine

Before dusk.

Yang Ge, who had just finished cleaning up his yard, rushed to Liu's house with Xiao Huang and the chickens and ducks in the backyard.

This one is laying eggs, please don't kill it...

This is just a crowing rooster. It's always on time. Please help me raise it. Don't let it stew...

This one can be stewed. It keeps fighting. You can take care of it. If it still refuses to change, stew it...

These two are easy to identify. The cock that fights has an old wound on its comb, and the cock that crows has its comb as red as silk.

If there is any leftover rice, give some leftover rice. If there is no leftover rice, give some rotten vegetable leaves...

Yang Ge lit the chickens and ducks he had raised one by one, and took the trouble to instruct Liu Mang.

Liu Mang also listened tirelessly to his story, trying hard to identify the chickens and ducks that looked similar to him. He was worried about what to do if he stewed it wrong, and worried about what he would do if he stewed it wrong. If you make the mistake of going to the vegetable market to buy one, I'm afraid you won't be able to fool this guy...

Actions speak louder than words.

In the past, he heard Yang Ge say that he just wanted to live his life in an ordinary way, living alone and waiting to die. He didn't say it, but he always felt that this guy was hypocritical...

But now, looking at his mother-in-law and mother-in-law introducing their chickens and ducks in detail, he always felt uncomfortable.

He couldn't tell what was wrong, but it was just wrong.

It was also at this moment that he suddenly became less envious of the talent of Yang Ge's little master body...

Give you the key.

Yang Ge handed the key to his home to Liu Mang: I also have some green onion, garlic and cabbage planted in my backyard. If you have time, go and take a look. When it grows, take it home and eat it. If you need enough at home, take it to the inn. As long as you eat it, it’s not a waste…”

Liu Mang instinctively took the key and held it in his hand. When he came to his senses, he felt even more upset.

I'm talking about the second child...

He hesitated and whispered: Why don't we cover our heads and live our own lives, and stop worrying about those nonsense... When will your running back and forth come to an end!

In the past, he definitely would not have been able to say such words.

Maybe having a family and starting a career can indeed teach men to grow up...

It's okay, just do as much as you can.

Yang Ge smiled and replied lightly, caressing Xiao Huang who was jumping anxiously in the corner as he walked slowly, and whispered softly: You must be good at Grandpa Liu's house, don't be noisy, don't be naughty, let alone Keep your mouth shut and help Grandpa Liu look after the house. Dad will come back as soon as he goes.

Xiao Huang bit his trouser leg and kept mumbling.

Although the puppy is not smart, it remembers clearly that it was tied here last time, and its father disappeared for a long time...

Yang Ge had no choice but to tear off a small piece of dried meat from the dry food bag in his arms and feed it to its mouth. After coaxing and coaxing him for a long time, he finally let go of Yang Ge's trouser legs. , with his sweeping tail hanging down, he walked to the corner and lay down, looking at Yang Ge with his big black eyes, without even smelling the dried meat in Yang Ge's hand.

Liu Mang had always opposed and despised Yang Ge for being a bitch, but looking at this scene, he suddenly turned away his head.

Yang Ge hesitated for a few seconds while holding the dried meat, then stepped forward and put the dried meat into Xiao Huang's dog bowl, and finally patted his head.

Then he turned around, tightened the Lengyue sword and baggage wrapped in gray cloth on his back, took off the bamboo hat and put it on his head, pulled up the sweat towel to cover his cheek: Brother Mang, I'm leaving.

Liu Mang took a deep breath, opened the courtyard door with one hand, and said in a deep voice: Be careful!

Yang Ge nodded, jumped up on the courtyard wall, and using his strength, he leaped several feet into the air, then disappeared as soon as he fell.

Liu Mang:......

…

Yang Ge took a flat-bottomed river boat found by Wu Eryong and sailed south overnight.

In order not to cause trouble to others, Yang Ge taught Wu Eryong to keep his identity secret. After boarding the ship, he had been meditating in the narrow cabin and practicing Qi. He even ate three meals a day with the dry food he brought with him. Except for the boss of the ship, the rest of the people on the ship did not know anything at all. I didn’t know there was someone like him on the ship...

The river boat swayed down the river, and the sun rose in the east and set in the west. This journey lasted six days.

In the past six days, Yang Ge was focused on practicing the first level of Five Elements Returning to the Vitality. The Gengjin Qi in his Dantian had already taken on the shape of a weapon.

According to the records in the secret book, if you have reached this point in the first level, you will be considered a minor success. Next, you only need to accumulate some Gengjin Qi to condense the imagined shape of the sword into the real meaning of the sword. , this level is considered a success!

Apart from Yang Ge's own martial arts talent, the main reason for this speed is that the first level is really simple.

After all, he already has the true energy. The first level of practice is just to transform his original true energy into Gengjin true energy. It is like dripping ink into a basin of clear water and rendering it black. It is naturally not difficult. .

The real difficulty of this internal skill is the next five levels. In this basin of black water, four more colors must be rendered, and the five colors must complement each other rather than fight with each other... It can be said that each level is more difficult than the last!

This is like starting a company. The long-term goal is to take the company public, the mid-term goal is to get the company more projects, and the short-term goal is to cut the cake internally without infighting...

The first step is just to spend money to start a company.

But even so, the first level also greatly improved Yang Ge's strength!

According to Yang Ge's own estimation, he should be able to control the output of his strongest move Gone and Never Come Back, so that he will not be in the same predicament as before, where he could kill half his life with one knife...

What’s even better is that his Gengjin True Qi is formed by the chilling energy accumulated over hundreds of years by the circulation of the Lengyue Sword, so that after taking shape, the Gengjin True Qi and the Lengyue Sword are like twins. When Yang Ge's Gengjin Zhenqi grows stronger, it can nourish the Lengyue Sword. The chilling energy accumulated from the cold moon sword's killings will in turn refine Yang Ge's Gengjin Zhenqi.

What's even more cool is that after Yang Gegeng's golden zhenqi and the Lengyue sword have this same-frequency resonance connection, he can already control the cold moon sword simply by stimulating his own zhenqi.

For example, if he wants to be cool in the future and shouts The knife is coming, he no longer needs others to cooperate with him.

He can completely shake his own true energy, attracting Leng Yue's sword to automatically unsheath and fall into his palm.

When facing an enemy, if he shoots the Cold Moon Sword out, he can also control his true energy to take the Cold Moon Sword back into his palm.

Yang Ge himself feels that once he controls his own Qi more carefully, he will most likely be able to remotely control the Cold Moon Sword to perform difficult operations similar to boomerangs.

Just think about the scene where the enemy sees him shooting out the knife and boldly rushes to attack him, only to be stabbed in the back... So cool!

…

On the sixth day, the river boat docked at a certain dock to unload cargo.

Yang Ge concentrated on practicing his internal skills and had no intention of going out to take a breath.

As a result, the river boat docked for a day and a night, and there was no movement of moving away at all.

Yang Ge came out of the cabin in confusion and found the boss of the ship who was sitting on the bow sighing and asked about the situation...

The boss of the ship was a stocky, middle-aged man with dark skin. As an old waterman who ran around on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal all year round, he knew better than others the importance of the three words Luanwuwu, so he won Wu Eryong's many praises. After giving the instructions, he was very respectful to Yang Ge along the way. Regardless of whether Yang Ge ate or not, he would personally deliver the meals to Yang Ge's cabin door three times a day.

Therefore, even though he was extremely upset at the moment, when faced with Yang Ge's inquiry, he still replied very respectfully: Master Yanzu, it's not that we don't want to leave, it's that we can't leave!

Yang Ge looked at the densely packed boats on the left and right that almost blocked the river, and replied: I told you not to be so polite, just call me Xiao Wu... Is there something wrong with the lower reaches of the river? Why are they stuck here and not leaving? ?”

The captain of the boat sighed heavily, his dark, weathered cheeks full of sorrow: There is nothing wrong with the river. We are the first to leave in Lingxin, which is the best time to go...

Yang Ge slowly frowned: Then what is this?

The boss of the boat frowned and scratched his head: A group of river dragons came from nowhere downstream. They blocked the river with iron ropes and connected boats to collect freight and head fees from passing boats... Several boat owners whose shipments were close to delivery pooled some money together. I went to them to plead for mercy, but they thought they were too small. Not only did they kill people, they also set fire to the boat, and all the hard-earned money of generations of people went into it.

‘The dragon crossing the river rushes across the river? ’

Yang Ge took a breath and asked softly: When did this happen?

He didn't ask why Lianlianwu didn't come forward to take care of it.

He could use his toes to figure out that this matter was directed at Lianlianwu!

This is the sequelae of Li Jincheng's father falling off the list of heroes...

The boss of the ship didn't think much and replied: I heard it came out at night four days ago...

Four days ago?

Yang Ge thought that he had received a letter from Yang Tiansheng and decided to go south temporarily.

It took seven days in total from Luting's departure to now. Even if Wu Eryong's news could arrive at Lianhuanwu faster than him, it would definitely be after that group of people showed up.

Therefore, this incident must have happened to him by chance.

However, it has been four days and Lianlianwu has not responded yet, which reflects two problems.

First, the situation of Li Jincheng's father is indeed the same as what is rumored in the world.

Second, this group of people has a lot of background and energy...

‘Iron lock across the river? Who came up with this? So damn creative! ’

Yang Ge thought to himself, and continued to pretend to be careless as he asked: Are that group of people very close to here?

The boss of the ship shook his head: Who dares to get close to such a vicious person? They are forty or fifty miles away!

Yang Ge glanced at the sunset on the horizon, smiled and bowed his hands to the captain of the ship: Then I will go back inside to rest first... By the way, if the ship can move tomorrow morning, could you please tie a red scarf to the sail.

His attitude was gentle and his words were polite.

But the boss of the ship still remembered Wu Eryong's respectful attitude when he personally sent Yang Ge to the ship. He did not dare to ask for help or ask more questions. He just cupped his fists and replied: Young man, please remember the instructions of Master Yanzu.

Yang Ge smiled and cupped his hands, turned around and walked back to the cabin, put on his bamboo hat, picked up the Cold Moon Sword, and then used his five senses to quietly sense the movement around him. When no one was around, he closed the cabin and quickly After getting out of the river boat, he jumped onto the shore and ran wildly downstream along the river embankment.

Before it was dark, he saw what the boat boss said was a chain-linked boat.

Good guy, a dozen flat-bottomed river boats are lying on the river end to end, blocking the 30-foot-wide river into a tight seam...

That ferocious and evil aura was just like shouting at Lianlianwu's face with his big mouth!

After seeing the chain boats, Yang Ge slowed down and kept observing the river boats as he approached, trying to find some signs that could identify the origin of this group of people.

For example, the Mingjiao sun and moon flag and the three fire logos.

Another example is the white lotus flag and Maitreya Buddha head of the White Lotus Sect.

It's a pity that there are no signs on these river boats... At least Yang Ge can recognize any signs.

‘Forget it, let’s find someone to ask? ’

He thought to himself, pulled up the sweat towel to cover his face, bent his knees, and flew across the river two feet like a big bird with spread wings, and jumped onto the bow of an iron cable river boat docked by the river. .

On the deck, I saw a large group of men with messy clothes and wild behavior, sitting together in groups, eating meat and drinking wine, and no one even noticed him getting on the ship.

Why.

He had to take the initiative to speak, disturbing these men's interest in eating meat and drinking wine: Whoever is in charge, come out and have a chat.

All the minions turned around when they heard the sound and stared at him.

The next moment, there were shouts of curses and the sound of swords being unsheathed.

When Yang Ge saw this, he slapped the river on one side without looking back.

Bang.

There was a loud thunder-like sound, and the water splashed up to a height of more than three feet, drenching the fierce minions to their core.

All of a sudden, they stopped being fierce and cursing.

Everyone froze in place as if they had been hit by a restraining spell. They neither dared to advance nor retreat with their dazzling swords in hand. They hunched their necks and looked at Yang Ge with horror on their faces. He was so weak, pitiful, and helpless. Like a flock of quail.

The atmosphere has been heightened to this point. If Yang Ge didn't scare them, he would be sorry for the sweat on his face: Don't be afraid, I'm not a good person.

Dozens of hunky-backed men stiffly twitched the corners of their mouths, wanting to apologize but not daring to laugh. All of them had shiny foreheads...

Yang Ge glanced around and spoke again: Whoever is in charge, please come out and have a chat.

No one moved.

Seeing this, Yang Ge slowly raised a palm, pointed it at them and slowly retracted it to his chest: Isn't there anyone in charge?

Clang.

A steel knife fell heavily on the ground. A strong man wearing silk and satin clothes and a white and fat body walked out of the crowd sweating profusely. He bowed his hands and said, Gong Cheng, the young steward of the Jiangdong Xiang family. , meet the hero.

The ordinary opening remarks contain two meanings.

The first meaning is: I am from the Xiang family in Jiangdong.

The second meaning is: to beat a dog, it depends on the owner...

Jiangdong Xiang family!

Yang Ge suddenly understood and said with great interest: No wonder he is so domineering and arrogant... Is Xiang Wudi here? Go and invite him over for a chat.

Seeing that Yang Ge was not frightened when he heard the name of the Xiang family, but instead became more and more interested, Gong Cheng's inner clothes were almost soaked with cold sweat.

He is an old Jianghu, he has seen the world, and he knows that even if the person in front of him is friendly and smiles, if he says something wrong, his head will move...

He then pushed himself even lower and tried his best to reply respectfully, To tell you my story, my eldest young master is not here. If you want to meet my eldest young master, please give me your name. I will report to my family and invite my eldest young master to come and meet the hero. If the hero is willing to move, the younger one is also willing to lead the way for the hero.

Not here?

Yang Ge took out his ears and slapped them into a rolling gourd in a big fight from a distance: How dare you be so crazy if I'm not here? Do you really think that your surname is Xiang, and you are the overlord of Western Chu?

As soon as he finished speaking, a deep and powerful voice came from the other side of the river: I have heard that after Lu Bu's death, everyone has the courage of Lu Bu... After our ancestors were defeated, whether they were humans or dogs, You can all call yourself the Overlord of Western Chu!

Yang Ge looked towards the direction from which the sound came, and saw a burly figure like an iron tower holding a large gun and coming across the air several feet in one step.

Yang Ge tilted his head and looked at him and said unceremoniously: I'm here to reason with you. You'd better not scare me with harsh words. I'm afraid I won't be able to help but beat you to death!

PS1: I wish you all a happy New Year and a happy New Year!

PS2: I have been exhausted these past few days. I have a day off today and will make up for the update tomorrow...
