Comprehensive martial arts: The romantic young master

"Master."

Zhu Danchen followed Duan Yu on horseback, staring at the dark clouds in the distance gradually approaching them. He also glanced at the rolling mountains under the dark clouds, with a faint moist mist in them, and couldn't help but remind him. road:

"Looking at the sky, I estimate there will be a heavy rain tonight. And the mountains are filled with mist, and there is a faint ominous atmosphere. I'm afraid it won't be easy to walk. We are still in a village near the foot of the mountain. Find a place to stay and wait until dawn tomorrow before leaving."

Fu Sigui, who was walking side by side with Zhu Danchen, heard this. He first glanced at Luo Changfeng, who was restrained on his horse and could not move, and then said with a smile:

"Why did your courage become so small? Even if it rains, we still wear raincoats and bamboo hats. Even if there is an ambush, they are at most some gangsters. How can we be afraid of them? Even if they are from the Sun and Moon God Sect. We are hiding in this mountain, and there is nothing they can do about us even if the young master is here."

Zhu Danchen shook his head slightly: "What are you talking about? How can you be careless and underestimate the enemy in a dangerous world? What's more, it's getting late. Do you want me to spend the night in the mountains?"

As soon as Zhu Danchen finished speaking, Fu Sigui immediately fell silent.

indeed,

How could they, the retainers, enjoy the splendor and wealth of Dali and let the prince Duan of Dali and the future emperor of Dali spend the night in the mountains?

If others pursue this matter, they might be punished with the crime of disrespect.

However, Duan Yu obviously has no time to pay attention to their boring rules. Although he and Zhu Danchen and others are friends of monarchs and ministers, he is a person who has traveled through time after all. Many times he uses modern ways to get along with others and does not care. So many rules.

Just a man riding his horse forward alone, minding his own business.

As I walked, I stared at the small village not far away.

I saw that the village was extremely quiet, with only a dozen or so houses in total, and no one seemed to be there.

However, some of the houses are not shabby, and some have even been renovated.

This made Duan Yu couldn't help but take a second look.

At the same time, because the sky was getting darker, Duan Yu also saw the light of candles flickering through the paper windows.

It seems that there are indeed people living in this village.

only......

How could this poor village in the mountains be so luxurious as to light candles?

You must know that in ancient times, candles and oil lamps were not affordable for the poor in the mountains.

Duan Yu immediately became suspicious, reined in his horse and stopped in front of Zhu Danchen and Fu Sigui: "There is a problem in this village, let's go in and take a look."

Zhu Danchen and Fu Sigui were both stunned when they heard this. They followed Duan Yu's gaze and tried to open their eyes wide to look into the village, as if they wanted to see if there was an ambush.

But of course they saw nothing.

Because Duan Yu himself didn't say there was an ambush, he just said there was a problem.

At that moment, Fu Sigui asked with some confusion: "Master, what's wrong with this village?"

Zhu Danchen understood something, and without waiting for Duan Yu to answer, he said on his behalf: "Let me ask you, do you know how much a candle costs in Song Dynasty?"

Fu Sigui suddenly couldn't say anything: "This...how do I know this? Usually the servants at home go to the street to buy these miscellaneous things. I always spend at least dozens of taels of silver at a time, how do I know the price of these things? ? What’s more, it’s the Song Dynasty.”

Zhu Danchen smiled and said: "That's why you can't see any problem."

Fu Sigui sat on the horse and scratched his head, even more puzzled: "How do you say this?"

Zhu Danchen saw that Fu Sigui really didn't know, so he explained to him:

"In the territory of the Song Dynasty, a candle cost three to four hundred cents, and the cheapest one cost thirty or forty cents. This price is enough to buy half a catty of pork. You said that the poor people in the Song Dynasty didn't even have a lot of money on weekdays. If you can’t even have a full meal, how can you have spare money to buy candles?”

After saying this, Fu Sigui suddenly realized: "Oh...so if candles are lit in this poor and backward village, there must be something wrong!"

"What more."

Zhu Danchen also had the habit of shaking a fan. Suddenly he unfolded the folding fan in his hand with a "crash" sound and started to fan. While fanning, he said, "Maybe I'd like you to come into the urn and wait for us."

at this time,

Duan Yu suddenly turned around and said, "That's not necessarily the case."

"Oh?"

Zhu Danchen said: "What do you think, Master?"

Duan Yu said: "In the rivers and lakes, except for some heroes who hang out in the rivers and lakes, bodyguards and businessmen doing business everywhere, ordinary people may not have the opportunity to step out of their hometown from birth to death. So as long as you walk in the rivers and lakes They are basically all seasoned ones, who can be deceived by this little trick? From my point of view, this person is probably new to the world, so he is not a threat."

Zhu Danchen suddenly smiled and said: "But Master, you have forgotten that there is another kind of person."

"Is there another kind of person?"

Duan Yu was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood the meaning, and couldn't help but look at Fu Sigui beside him.

Zhu Danchen also looked at Fu Sigui and said with a smile: "Yes, this kind of person has been around for a long time. It's a pity that he has lived a good life in the court for a long time, and he can no longer see the suffering of the people. Now even such a simple thing I can’t see through a single problem, and if I encounter a shady store, I’ll probably have it turned into meat buns by now.”

Fu Sigui knew that Zhu Danchen was laughing at him, so he couldn't help but blush: "Zhu Danchen, don't you read more books? Why do you always make fun of me? After staying in the palace for a long time, these things in the world are indeed not very important. remembered."

"okay."

Seeing that Zhu Danchen was about to continue talking, Duan Yu immediately stopped the two of them: "Stop having these meaningless verbal disputes, it's better to go to the village to see what's going on. If nothing happens, rest here for the night. Tomorrow. We will rush to Hengyang City at dawn."

"That's what the young master said."

Zhu Danchen agreed with Duan Yu and sighed at the same time:

"But it is really puzzling to talk about Liu Zhengfeng of the Hengshan Sect washing his hands in the golden basin this time. If it were placed in peacetime, now every sect has been attacked by the Sun and Moon God Sect, and the martial arts of the Song Dynasty has already It’s really unbelievable that he wants to wash his hands and withdraw from the world despite the chaos.”

Fu Sigui grabbed Luo Changfeng and said:

"Never mind him! He can do whatever he wants. Isn't it a good thing for us that he invited heroes from all walks of life this time? We just need to throw the deputy master of Suzaku Hall to the world. Zhengdao, the rest is theirs, and the reputation of the Duan family in Dali can also be promoted in the Song Dynasty through this opportunity."
