Beauty Jianghu

Chapter 190 The rich man entertains guests

It was late at night, and the three of them were a little tired, leaning against the wall and falling asleep.

Suddenly, hearing a "pop" sound outside, Yang Shucheng and the two hurriedly opened their eyes and pushed the door open. There was a dark-skinned teenager standing outside the door.

It is the "Three Fierce" man, Wang Hu.

Wang Hu held the meteor hammer, turned around and ran down the mountain when he saw Yang Shucheng.

Yang Shucheng knew that although he was young, he was very bad. If he appeared here, there must be nothing good going on. Yang Shucheng thought of this, grabbed the wooden stick, and ran after it, shouting:

"What are you here for?"

The kid was smart enough, so he turned around and said, "It's nothing, I was just passing by here."

He was not stupid, and neither was Yang Shucheng. He used Taiqing Qinggong and chased him. He quickly caught up with him, blocked his way, and threatened him: "If you don't tell me, I will kill you."

Wang Hu was also anxious and swung his meteor hammer to kill Yang Shucheng.

At this time, Yang Shucheng's swordsmanship was already top-notch. After fighting him for several rounds, he used a stick as a sword and stabbed him in the chest with one stick.

Yang Shucheng said: "Speak quickly, or I will be merciless."

Wang Hu saw that he couldn't kill him, and there was a young man in brocade standing next to him, holding a jade flute in his hand. He knew that he was also a master, and he wouldn't be able to escape if he didn't tell the truth today.

Wang Hu could only say: "They said there is a beautiful woman in this temple, and they want to bring me here. They are afraid that they will not be able to defeat you, and they are also afraid that the people in prison will take the opportunity to escape, so they will go back and send troops to intercept them on the road ahead. I can't bear it. I just wanted to leave, so I ran over to take a look, but I didn’t realize there were three men, no beautiful women. Just as I was about to leave, you guys discovered me and chased me out. That’s all.”

Yang Shucheng knew that someone was coming to take advantage of King Shen, so he asked:

"Who are they?"

When Wang Hu told the truth, he no longer hid it from them, and said everything in detail: "It's Taoist Priest Jinguan, and the father and son named Liu who came later. They said they wanted to rob the beauties here, but they were afraid. I can’t beat you. In fact, I was also deceived by them.”

Yang Shucheng knew that he had told the truth, so he said to him: "Go away. Go back and tell Taoist Master Jinguan that there is a group of people in front of us, just waiting for him. He is a traitor. If he doesn't come, I will still have him." Go find him."

That boy Wang Hu suffered a loss. After hearing this, he hurriedly ran down the mountain with his tail between his legs.

Yang Shucheng turned around and Xiong Songlin said: "It seems that someone wants to take advantage of King Shen. Let's quickly cross the Dabie Mountains. Once outside the mountains, the terrain is open and densely populated, so we are not afraid of them."

The two had reached an agreement. At this time, King Shen came over. He had witnessed the situation here and knew that the situation was critical. He agreed with the two of them without waiting for the other party to speak.

The three of them didn't care about what to eat for breakfast and hurriedly walked south.

After two or three days of circuitous walking on a remote mountain road, I came out of the Dabie Mountains. There was no one following me.

That evening, the two of them escorted King Shen to a village next to the mountain.

Although there was war, because this place was far away from the city and secluded by the mountains, it was less likely to be robbed by official thieves, so it was peaceful and peaceful.

The land here is fertile, with several streams flowing from the mountains. There has been no drought for many years, so every family is relatively wealthy. However, the scenery is quiet and the houses are neat and hidden among the dense woods.

The two of them protected King Shen and walked to four big trees.

The three of them looked up at the big trees. This is a cypress tree. The trunk is so thick that four or five people can’t hug it. It is estimated to be hundreds of years old.

Because when small trees were planted earlier, they were planted closely apart. Now they have grown for hundreds of years and have grown into towering trees. The branches are densely intertwined and shaded. When you look up, you can see the trees towering into the clouds, and you can't see the dense leaves clearly. The situation inside.

Under the trees, there are incense burners, curling cigarettes, and fresh fruits. It seems that the village residents dedicated these four cypress trees to the sacred trees.

I saw a house not far away, with a wall surrounding dozens of acres of land. The houses inside were shaded by trees, and there were several courtyards. With such a momentum, I thought that the owner of this house, not now, would also do this. A high official.

Yang Shucheng and Xiong Songlin looked at each other and decided to stay at this house tonight.

The two of them protected King Shen and walked to the gate. They saw two large stone lions on both sides of the gate. They had not thought wrong beforehand. They were indeed high officials from their ancestors.

It was sunset, but there was still light, but the door of this big house was closed.

Yang Shucheng stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened with a "ah" sound. A servant opened the door and looked at the visitor with suspicious eyes.

Yang Shucheng said: "We are passing by here. It is getting late. We want to spend the night in Guizhuang. I don't know if it is possible. It is convenient."

"Wait a minute, you three. I'll report to the master." Just say it, and close the door tightly with a "bang" sound.

After a long time, the door opened again, and the servant from before came out and said to the three of them:

"My master invites you."

The three of them walked in under the leadership of the servants. It turned out to be a large manor house with flat ground, numerous houses and lush trees. It turned out to be a mansion that had been built for hundreds of years.

The master of the house also came over with the support of a child. Yang Shucheng and others hurriedly took a few steps and shouted:

"Master, thank you very much for staying with us."

The old man seemed to have a sad look on his face, but he was also kind. He said: "Who is walking with a house on his back? Since it's getting late, let's stay overnight in the village."

The host and guest bowed to each other, walked into the hall, thanked each other and sat down, while the servants brought tea.

Xiong Songlin made the introduction and did not hide anything, saying: Henan was in chaos. The two of them were protecting King Shen and were going to Wuchang to defect to General Zuo Liangyu. They were passing by here.

The old man also made an introduction, saying that his surname was Liu, and that his ancestors had been high officials for several times, so he bought this house and there were hundreds of acres of rice fields around it. He was considered a wealthy family within a hundred miles of the surrounding area.

Rich Master Liu said: "Since Zhang Xianzhong left, it has been relatively peaceful here. The three nobles came here because they were destined to meet each other from thousands of miles away, so they should live here."

After a while, the dishes were served, which were nothing more than bacon ribs, bacon trotters, and a casserole hen, which was stewed to a pulp and fragrant. The people in the mountains are really simple and honest. All the food served on the table is meat and there is not a single plate of green vegetables.

The servant poured wine again. Rich Master Liu said: "This place is far from the city and there is no good wine to entertain guests. This is home-brewed Baogu wine. The three distinguished guests will just drink some."

After all, Mr. Liu has a rich family and is very generous in hospitality. What's more, there is an important guest, King Shen. Rich Man Liu understands how the world is about people. In these troubled times, he does not dare to offend anyone. What if he offends someone and his village is burned down?

In order to avoid Taoist Jinguan, the three of them wandered around the Dabie Mountains for several days, sleeping in the open air and not having much to eat. They just ate some wild fruits and drank some mountain springs.

After being hungry for several days, seeing such a sumptuous banquet tonight, the three of them drank and ate as much as they could.

After drinking and eating, Mr. Liu accompanied him and talked for a while. Although the rich man treated people warmly, there was always a hint of sadness lingering on his face. The master didn't say it out loud, so the three of them just had some feelings, but it was inconvenient to ask.

Sure enough, after talking for a short time, Mr. Liu stood up and arranged for the three of them to rest.

This rich man is really grand. He has many houses in his family. He arranged King Shen to live in a room, and Yang Shucheng and Xiong Songlin shared a room.

Yang Shucheng and Yang Shucheng lay on the bed and said some words. They got a comfortable bed and quilt tonight, and fell asleep one after another after a while.

At night, Yang Shucheng woke up and wanted to undergo surgery, but he was afraid of waking up Xiong Songlin, so he got up gently, opened the door gently, and walked out.

It was already midnight, and the full moon in the sky shone in the courtyard. It was like a frost and snow falling. It was bright everywhere, and the surroundings were quiet, filled with grass, insects, and swarms.

This was a separate courtyard. Yang Shucheng found a corner, stood behind a tree with dancing leaves, and finished urinating.

Just as he was about to turn around and enter the house, he suddenly heard crying in the distance. Yang Shucheng took a few steps and looked outside. There was a light in the distance, and it seemed that several people were crying. They were carried by the wind in the distance. It's sad and desolate.

Yang Shucheng was a guest and could not pry rudely, but he couldn't help but turned around the corner door and walked out.
