Chu Lang

The largest teahouse in Chang'an West City is called Qingfeng Xiaozhu, which is based on a sentence by Na Su Dongpo, "The breeze comes slowly, but the water waves are calm".

On the first floor of the teahouse, there is a storyteller in green shirt, known as Kuai Zui Li.Kuai Zui Li stands beside the table, holding a fan in his right hand, on which a plum tree is painted with sparse shadows and slanting across, and a Xing wood of red sandalwood in his left hand, and a large insect with eye-catching eyes is carved on the wood carefully.

Xingmu clapped, today is about the struggle between Chu and Han, and the story of the overlord of Chu bid farewell to Concubine Yu on a moonlit night.

"Let's talk about Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, riding his black-tailed horse and rushing out of the encirclement of the Han army with his sword..."

Just as he was talking about the exciting part, a man in brocade clothes came in from outside the door.

It's not unusual for people to come and go in a place where the teahouse is open for business, but this man is really good-looking, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and an indescribable temperament. As soon as he stepped into the shop, Chu Yue took a serious look with.

Chu Yue held a cup of bamboo leaf tea and blew into it before putting the cup of tea to her mouth.Sitting opposite him, Tang Zhong was eating melon seeds and listening intently, but he didn't notice Chu Yue's gaze.

"Ziyu, do you think the Overlord of Chu won?" Tang Zhong asked.

The man happened to be sitting at the table obliquely in front of Chu Yue, from which Chu Yue could see the back of the man.

"Huh? Ziyu? Did he win?"

Chu Yue drank the tea, then reached out and patted Tang Zhong's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Brother, the history that master taught you to read is all read on dogs? Xiang Yu bid farewell to Yu Ji on a moonlit night, ride there On the bank of the Wujiang River, looking at the vast river, the boatman is in front of you, and the pursuers are behind, guess what..."

"Wait, don't give me any spoilers yet." Tang Zhong cut off Chu Yue's words.

Chu Yue's face was full of contempt, and she wished she could hit his ineffective senior brother with a mallet on the head: "Senior brother, have you heard of Wujiang committing suicide?"

After finishing speaking, he got up and added: "If Master knew that you don't even remember Wu Jiang committing suicide, you would be so angry that you would jump out of the grave. Forget it, I will eliminate harm for the master today." Draw your sword.

Tang Zhong vaguely felt that there was something wrong. After all, Chu Yue was young and mature, and most of the time he looked very reliable. He rarely played with him like this, so he repeatedly begged for mercy: "My good brother, you know, the history books I really don't understand what it is. At best, I can only understand a few medical books and play music. As for other things, I really don't have any interest."

Tang Zhong only thought that Chu Yue pulled out his sword as a show, but he didn't expect that Chu Yue would actually pull out his sword and stab at him.

"Ziyu, you..."

However, Chu Yue saw a three-foot long sword, crossing Tang Zhong, and stabbing behind him.

"Young Master, be careful!" Chu Yue shouted at the brocade-clothed man sitting obliquely in front of her.

Tang Zhong woke up like a dream, turned his head and saw a man in commoner clothes holding a dagger, about to assassinate the man in brocade clothes.

It turned out that halfway through the chat between Chu Yue and Tang Zhong, they happened to see the man in common clothes who had mischievous intentions, so Chu Yue took out his sword as a joke and helped the man in brocade clothes.

Tang Zhong patted his chest and sighed: "I was scared to death, I said why you look a little bit wrong today."

Tang Zhong was not good at martial arts, so he simply squatted aside and watched the excitement.

The brocade-clothed man and the guards around him also took up weapons, and the three of them bullied the killer together.

Several people started fighting, and when the killer turned around, Tang Zhong realized that this man was not from the Central Plains, with a high forehead and a thick physique, Tang Zhong could guarantee that this man was from the Huns.

The northwest of Liguo is close to the Xiongnu tribe, so the appearance of a few Huns in Chang'an is really not a big deal.Although the Xiongnu were uneducated and loved to cause trouble, they still had scruples at the feet of the emperor, and very few people openly caused trouble in Chang'an City.

Three-on-one, Chu Yue's martial arts are excellent, and the man in brocade clothes and the guards around him are not bad at martial arts. Even if this killer is the current leader of the martial arts alliance, he can't take advantage of it. Waste no more time, take advantage of the chaos and run away in a hurry.

Seeing that the shop that was still good just now turned into a mess, the man in brocade clothes told the guards around him, "Shi Xuan, give the boss some money to repair the shop, after all, it's because of us."

This brocade-clothed man is of course Xie Changge. He seldom ran from the East Palace to the teahouse to play for a while, and he thought about going to see some young men from the Qinlou Chu Pavilion later, but he didn't expect to be stared at as soon as he left the palace. on.

The Xiongnu sent a prince to talk about the tribute. Because they did not reach a consensus, Xie's father and son and Nanzhao prince stayed in the post for several months. How could the Hun prince be so impatient that he sent People came to assassinate.It's hard to be a master, Xie Changge mocked secretly.

After sending Shi Xuan to deal with the aftermath, Xie Changge took the time to thank this benefactor who helped him.

I was too flustered to take a closer look at this person's appearance before, but now that I look carefully, I can see that this person has a pair of upturned double phoenix eyes, a tear mole at the corner of his right eye, and a slightly hooked nose like that of an outsider. A piece of thin lips, although smiling, but there is an aura that strangers should not get close to.

She is a heroic beauty.

Xie Changge never thought that he would be tempted by a person he had never met with just his face, but the moment he saw the person opposite him clearly, he felt an indescribable throbbing, completely forgetting what he said a few months ago If you never look at your face.

He has always been romantic, and he immediately thought of Chu Yue.

"I thank you, I don't know what to call your benefactor?" Xie Changge bowed and saluted, and what he gave was the gentle and gentle jade.

Knowing that her identity was embarrassing, Chu Yue didn't dare to give her name to the person she just met, so she only gave him her own name: "I'm here, Ziyu." Then she introduced Tang Zhong behind her to Xie Changge: "This This is my senior brother, Tang Zhong."

"Thanks to benefactor's help just now, otherwise I would have been waiting in line on the Naihe Bridge for soup." Xie Changge said.

When Shi Xuan came back from the shopkeeper, he happened to hear this sentence, and laughed secretly in his heart: The prince even said such words in order to make friends with this person.Just now if the young master hadn't made a move, the thief would definitely not be able to hurt the crown prince at all.

Xie Changge said again: "The two of you are not natives of Chang'an by listening to your accent."

It is absolutely impossible to tell the true identity, and the concealment seems to be concealed, so Chu Yue made up an identity at will: "To tell you the truth, my two brothers have just left the teacher and went down the mountain to travel."

Xie Changge nodded, and said in his heart: Sure enough, he is from the Jianghu.

Xie Changge wanted to talk more with Chu Yue, but Shi Xuan urged him in a low voice: "My lord, it's almost time, it's time to go back."

Xie Changge looked at the sun, he sneaked out today, and it is indeed time to return to the palace at this time, but he was not willing to miss this superb beauty for nothing, so he made a plan and said to Chu Yue: "Grandpa, my family If you have something to do, go back first, but you have to repay your life-saving grace, otherwise Xie will really feel ashamed. How about this, after three days, we will gather in Fenglou, and I will invite the two of you to have a light meal and express our thanks." Before Chu Yue could refuse, she took Shi Xuan and ran away without a trace.

"Um, that young master is really a good man." Tang Zhong looked at the direction Xie Changge left and said, "Shall we go?"

"He said so, it's okay to go. Anyway, he can't beat me, and he can't poison you to death, so what are you afraid of?" Chu Yue said.

On the way back, Tang Zhong said, "It suddenly occurred to me that that person didn't tell us his identity."

Chu Yue: "It's easy to guess. He said his surname is Xie. Xie is the surname of the Li country, and he should be a member of the royal family. Moreover, he is well-dressed and has a very powerful guard with him. If you don't guess Wrong, which prince should he be."

"So that's why you saved him?" Tang Zhong asked.

Chu Yue shook her head and said, "No. I saved him simply because he suits my taste."

Tang Zhong: ...

I didn't expect you to be such a junior.

"Just kidding, I just met him by chance. You can save someone's life with just a little effort. If you were sitting in my seat, you would definitely help him." Seeing that Tang Zhong really believed it, Chu Yue quickly explained road.

"You say he has an extraordinary bearing, so he should be a member of the royal family, so maybe he is the prince." Tang Zhongfu asked in his heart.

Chu Yue looked at Tang Zhong with an expression of looking at a fool, and said, "Probably not. I have investigated, and the prince from Liguo is dissolute and romantic. He doesn't look like that kind of person."

The "dissolute" prince sneezed.

"Your Highness, did you catch a cold?" Shi Xuan asked.

Xie Changge shook his head and said, "No. Maybe the lonely little beauty wants to be lonely."

Shi Xuan smiled and asked: "Then will His Highness go to Qinlou to look for Mr. Bai tomorrow?"

Xie Changge waved his hand, and said to Shixuan: "When Gu sees Ziyu today, he knows that he will be the one who will be with Gu for the rest of his life. Before Gu chases him, let alone Mr. Bai of Qin Lou, even Mr. Zhang and Mr. Li Prince Wang and Miss Qin'er from Hongxiufang are all gone." With a wave of his long sleeves, he looked like a handsome young man, if Xie Changge wasn't talking about his mistresses, Shi Xuan really thought he was a You are a gentleman.

"Then His Highness won't send someone to check the beauty's identity?" Shi Xuan asked.

Xie Changge waved his hand: "Ziyu is such a beautiful person, why would he lie to me?"

Shi Xuan didn't mention it either.

--------

Chu Yue and Tang Zhong returned to the posthouse, and saw Qingsong sitting on a chair in the hall on the first floor wrestling with Mo Zhu.

"Can you beat Mo Zhu?" Tang Zhong walked behind Qingsong and asked with a hand on his shoulder.

"Of course he can't." Mo Zhu said in the same calm voice as usual, "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. He is a half-grown child who has no strength to restrain a chicken. How can he win me?"

Mo Zhu was six or seven years older than Chu Yue and Tang Zhong. When Chu Yue was sent out of the palace, Mo Zhu accompanied him to the mountain.Mo Zhu is the kind of person who is not very good at expressing his emotions by nature. Although he has a good relationship with Chu Yue and the others, he finally gives people a very cold feeling.Fortunately, other people are used to him like this, and they don't think he is rude.

Qingsong shouted angrily: "I do it knowing that I can't do it, which shows that I am a real man."

Tang Zhong laughed: "Okay man, Ziyu and I have been busy all afternoon and it's time for dinner. Please help us prepare some food."

While Tang Zhong was talking, Qingsong lost another round, and asked with a dejected look: "Didn't you go to the teahouse to hear the books? How can you still be hungry?"

"Isn't it because your highness saw a rough road and saved a beautiful man." Tang Zhong said.

Qingsong immediately turned to look at Chu Yue.

Chu Yue smiled: "Don't listen to his nonsense." Then he suddenly remembered something, and confessed to Mo Zhu: "Go and find out if the prince has left the palace today."

"Ziyu, what is this?" Tang Zhong asked.

Chu Yue said: "What if? If it's really the prince, then we can't have a close friendship."

But no matter how powerful Chu Yue was, she still couldn't guess that the prince, who was out of touch with the country, would sneak out of the palace after half-approving the paperwork.
