Chapter 026 – Putting Humanity on the Scale

Xu Fengyen finally rushed to catch up with the fish and dragon gang before entering the left behind city, this night and two days walking is not pleasant, by the woman hit the sea of qi, more than three hundred orifices turned upside down not to mention that, after the discovery of the fact that she was implanted with a lot of harsh as the sword qi of the foreign qi, extracting the cocoon exceptionally arduous and arduous, in order to not delay the sword, culling out those disgusting miscellaneous qi, Xu Fengyen almost didn’t go crazy, it’s just like looking for several ants and flying cicadas in the huge a It was like searching for a few ants and flying cicadas in the huge Yan Hui Pass, it was not easy.

But still delayed a day to raise the sword, let Xu Fengyen cursed all the way, but the unfortunate thing is that this kind of delicate to the extreme laborious work, just like when the Wudang mountain with the “Green Water Pavilion A Zi Sword Practice Record” method of carving the chess pieces, there is a similarity, for the depth of digging into the wonders of the big yellow court there is a kind of ineffable benefit, the big yellow court is just like a sword embryo, sheepskin fur old man Li’s two sleeves of the green snake is to use the ten thousand pounds of gravity to hammer and refine, the latter is is the water quenching when the famous sword finishes, both are indispensable.

Xu Fengyen reunited with the fish and dragon gang, stopped teeth up and down tapping and both ears around the sound of the heavenly drums of the foundation of the Great Yellow Ting secret art, the teenager Wang Dashi is very pleased, Liu Nirong and must have bought the bowstring of the Gongsun Yang all nodded to Xu Fengyen.

Leaving the city blooming, no less than the big city of Lingshou in the hinterland of Northern Liang, so that the crowd of the Fish and Dragon Gang, who had been filled with desolation after the exit of the Inverted Horse Pass, could no longer be angry and hostile, and only felt that they had finally come to life.

Xu Fengyen has a forged letter from the former weapon supervisor, the handwriting is exactly the same, only the content has been changed. Seal is more authentic, and even the seal mud are taken from the treasures on the case of the martial arts officer, the general can not imagine that the rough general will go to love the eight treasure Zhai’s kui red seal mud, which is also more and more situated in the secret letter of the “true”, according to the letter on the content of the letter, Xu Fengyen transformed into the general’s house of a noble Qing guest’s son and nephew of a junior, or surname Xu. He is still surnamed Xu.

Xu Fengyen naturally know the address of the joint, after entering the city to find someone to ask the road, Xu Fengyen brought the fish and dragon gang to a actually Jiangnan official business style of the mansion, the concierge with a secret letter after the report, out of a dressed in rich silk clothes of the emaciated elderly, footsteps in a hurry, see Xu Fengyen, after the first mutual bow, the old man let the concierge to settle a group of people of the fish and dragon gang, and then enthusiastically pulling Xu Fengyen’s arm, and together over the threshold, smiling broadly: “old man, the old man, the old man’s arm, and the young man’s arm, and the young man’s arm. Laughing out loud, he said, “The old man and Qi old brother have been friends for many years, sister-in-law’s frosty eggplant can be roasted that is called a masterpiece, to this day, when I think about it, I have to salivate, there is no such delicacies in this left behind city.”

Xu Fenian said with an embarrassed face, “Auntie’s eggplant, it’s really too spicy and salty, thanks to Uncle Wei’s ability to eat it.”

The thin old man narrowed his eyes and smiled, nodding his head slightly as he increased his strength to hold Xu Fenian’s arm and said with a harrumph, “Spicy and salty is the only way to have a good meal. Brother Qi and old sister-in-law’s health are both alright?”

Xu Fengyen sighed with a gloomy face, “Auntie’s health is still good, it’s uncle who fell into the old lung disease when he was young and couldn’t get rid of the root of the disease, coughing non-stop when it comes to cloudy and rainy weather, sounds worrying to people.”

The old man was silent for a while, his voice lowered, said: “The old man here has a few pints of snow lotus, turn around and you bring it back to the old brother Qi, stewed with icing sugar to drink, can nourish the stomach and lungs.”

Xu Fengyen gestured to bow in gratitude, the old man rushed to assist him, feigning anger: “You child, we are all family members, how can you be so outgoing!”

Leaving the city although not like the two dynasties of the Imperial City that inch of land, go also need silver 60,000 or 70,000 taels in order to buy a decent mansion, Wei old man’s mansion is a three porridge and into the five into the mansion, no 150,000 taels can not get down, if there is such a mansion in the city of Tai’an, can make a lot of officials for many years of the third-grade officers are envious of the not too, around the wall rockery, along the central axis of the inward recursive walk, both sides of the account room and family school, the hall is rich and magnificent, and then into a flower hall is a banquet and listening to music, most likely there will be a small pond full of lotus flowers, this is probably the commonality of Jiangnan official and business mansions, deep courtyard, elegant and quiet. Xu Fengyen saw the armchairs in the hall that didn’t quite match the Jiangnan flavor and smiled, “Old Uncle Wei is really nostalgic for the old days, otherwise he wouldn’t have used these Southern Tang Beauty Leans.”

The old man and Xu Fengyen and Liu Nirong Gongsun Yang said sit sit sit sit, wait for the three guests to be seated before resting his buttocks in the beauty cushion, heartfelt smile: “This life is no way to go back to the roots, but you have to let yourself remember where you are from, don’t you?”

In the left behind the city has more than a dozen stores of the big merchant old man before sitting down, and Liu Nirong Gongsun Yang in the face of polite pleasantries, compared to the “family nephews” Xu Fengnian, obviously to be much colder, and soon got up and said: “The old man personally go to the inventory of the goods, always have to give the Supervisor of adults to sell at a good price, otherwise I can’t afford to lose this person. No need to send, you all treat it as in your own home.”

Two young and pretty maids stay in the hall waiting for people, naturally closer to some with the master more like relatives Xu Gongzi, tea only cool to go a minute or two, on the dainty attentive to ask Xu Gongzi want to change the tea.

Accounts room, Wei old man through the window looking into the hall, seems to remember what, back three accounts room steward, from the sleeve out of the secret letter, dipped saliva, and then take the yellowing fingernail cap in the seal scratched, dipped in saliva finger belly a wipe, sniffing, after a sigh of relief, will be the secret letter back to the sleeve, nodded and murmured: “is this flavor, this trip business is not bad. ”

Wei old man who can lay down a foundation in the left behind city squinted and dozed off, and then smiled heartily: “Since it is really Qi old brother’s distant nephew, this way thousands of miles to travel hard, I do uncle, is not it time to go to the Golden Phoenix Pavilion to ask a head of the house? Just don’t know what this nephew likes to taste, if it’s a little lighter to save money and trouble, the hall in the autumn water and spring to get two maids on the good, old uncle a big age, already have the heart not to eat, fat water flow outsiders field well.”

Into the city before Liu Nirong and the gangs have been mentioned to wake up, the people under the fence must be careful, do not touch anything after living, in fact, this is her over-anxious, all the way north, the fish and dragon gangs have not been out of the first Lingzhou’s complacency, the trip to the north of Manghang line, have seen the arrogance and insidiousness of the generals’ sons and daughters, but also feel the venomous tactics of the officers and soldiers, but also have seen that the gang of jianghu people who snatched the book of the secrets of the fly around the scene, has been polished to There is no temper to speak of, especially the three follow Miss Liu together into the wild goose back pass green Zhuang, spittle talking about the woman’s white flower thighs, heavy peaks, how a foot will be strong man stepped out of a big hole, more so that the fish and dragons gang members of the chills.

All his life, the old man Wei is meticulous, first let the housekeeper to probe the wind, in that nephew nodded and fish dragon gang Liu girl default, after the dinner party, let the people in batches to take the fish dragon gang members to stay in the city of the green house to drink flowers and wine, the green house is not the most upscale of the city, not that the old man Wei can not afford to pay out this silver, but afraid of getting into trouble, the green house is this is the most unreasonable place, his family property is a lot of money, but in the north of the Mang. Silver can make ghosts push mill premise is that you have to first let the silver in the hands of the powerful and noble children over the hand, and these guys do business with okay, in the greenhouse hook fence jealousy words, turn the other cheek than the book faster, Wei old man do not want to a friendship with the weapons supervisors and the House of the meat and fish, after all, he is in the left behind in the city of doing business, rather than the Lingzhou.

Wei House intentionally or unintentionally Liu Nirong and Xu Fengyen alone in the flower hall back of the next room, and those fish and dragons gangs separated from the one into, Xu Fengyen bathing and dressing are two clean-cut maids to serve, which His Highness did not have any sweating, but did not do much of this kind of thing of the two maids bashful, changed a refreshing attire Xu Fengyen out of the room knocked on the door of the next door, Liu Nirong opened the door and silent, sitting on the window position, looking at the pool. Window position, looking at the pool, the breeze on the face, compared with the previous desert travel, is really in a fairyland general. Xu Fengyen picked up a pear and took a bite, asked, “Still sulking over the Fish and Dragon Gang going to a greenhouse?”

Liu Nirong glared fiercely at this son of a bitch who said that going to a green house was as common as eating!

Xu Fengyen laughed, “Luckily I’m not a member of the Fish and Dragon Gang, otherwise I would have been pissed off by you, the future gang leader. It’s not easy to live in fear to stay in the city, are suffocating two eyes on fire, my Miss Liu, you are a woman of course not much thought, but a big man is easy?”

Liu Nirong angrily said, “Then why don’t you go and do that kind of dirty deeds?!”

Xu Fengyen was suddenly filled with sadness, his face was full of desolation. Seeing Liu Nirong confused, after a while of staring at each other, she seemed to have discovered a stone-breaking secret, unprecedentedly revealed a sympathetic look, and asked in a low voice, “You can’t?”

Xu Fengyen took a bite of a juicy pear, and said in a good-natured and amused manner, “It’s none of your business whether I can or can’t.”

Liu Nirong’s face was oddly wacky, as if she had recognized that fact, she thoughtfully changed the topic and asked, “When we get to Leaving City, there shouldn’t be any mistakes, right?”

Xu Fengnian nodded, “Generally speaking, with Wei Feng’s ability, this deal is considered a success. You guys can also get his secret care when you return to Lingzhou.”

Liu Nirong said indignantly, “Since he has this ability, why didn’t he help earlier?”

Xu Fengnian calmly asked back, “Is he your father, or are you his daughter-in-law, why should he spend silver and favors to help? Don’t tell me that this business has something to do with Wei Feng, for this kind of old fox who doesn’t lack money, the Fish Dragon Gang can’t send themselves to stay in the city, so they won’t have the chance to get close to him in the future, he is at least a dignified person in stay in the city, do you really think that an out-of-work weapon supervisor in Lingshou is a big shot like the King of Heaven, it’s only for the sake of friendship, if it’s done, we’ll all be happy, and both will have the silver to take, and if it’s not done, Wei Feng will just earn less money. Wei Feng, but less earn a dispensable incense money. Doing business, in the end, in addition to goods, but also to get the person’s ability to get on the scale together with the calculation of catty, your fish and dragon gang want to live in the days of nourishment, in the final analysis, but also you have to fight for your own luck, into the Lingshou premier gangs, Wei Feng Xing perhaps will have to come over to bow to you this auntie.”

Liu Nirong was gloomy.

Look at each other for a long time without words, has been traveling in the world she coldly follow the guy’s line of sight down a look, but is not their own legs?

Liu Nirong annoyed and angry: “Stinking hooligan, where are you looking?!”

The guy even justified a slap on the table, scared her a big jump, shamelessly said: “illegal ah?”
