The number one in Langya, Jiang Zuo Meilang.
Rao is at the time when Xiao Jingrui was the most disheartened, and when he heard this name, his eyes jumped.
"Reflecting the ice and snow in the world in the distance, the dark fragrance of the UFO floating on the river, the heroic road in the world is known, and there is Mei Lang on the left side of the river." This is the first time Shu Zhongtian, the leader of the northern giant "Qiaolong Gang", met Mei Changsu nine years ago. verses sung.
At that time, the Gongsun family escaped and entered the left side of the river, and Shu Zhongtian chased and killed the river. The new suzerain of the Jiangzuo League, Mei Changsu, came to meet him by the river. The two did not bring a sword, a sword, a soldier or a soldier. They had a secret conversation on the top of Heling for two days. , the name of Jiangzuo League began to spread in the rivers and lakes.
Two years later, before the Jiang Zuo League's prestige had fallen, Mei Changsu himself was suddenly listed on the Langya Young Master List, and he quickly topped the list and never came down again. Because Mei Changsu doesn't like to show his face, there are only a few people in the world who have seen his true face, but the more this is the case, the more curious everyone is about him, and they hope that one day, they will be able to see with their own eyes what a peerless demeanor Jiang Zuo Meilang is.
Xiao Jingrui deliberately entered the list of Langya Young Masters. Although it was not for the sake of being competitive, he was still a little curious about this man who was always above him, thinking about when he would have the opportunity to meet him. Unfortunately, because Mei Changsu has always been hidden behind the scenes and rarely appears in public, he has never been able to do so. Passing through Qinling Mountains last winter, I picked a branch of cold plum on the cliff, and took it into a tea house to rest. There was a young man wrapped in white fur at the next table, staring at the plum branch, and he liked it very much. Xiao Jingrui didn’t have much. Thinking of something, I gave this plum to the young man. Half a month later, at Qingfengguan in Lingshan, I happened to meet each other again. Everyone recognized each other and talked for a long time before breaking up. Because they only met in a hurry, they forgot about it later, so I never mentioned it to my family and friends, and I never thought about it. This gentle and elegant man who didn't seem to be so stunning was actually Jiang Zuomeilang, who was in charge of the world's largest gang.
"The owner of the house has always had a lot of trivial matters, so he can't come to entertain in person. If the three young masters don't mind, please come and have a drink. It's also an honor for me, Jiang Zuomeng." The two maids were Lan Xinhui, and Xiao Jingrui heard from Chang Mei. Su Zhiming has been stunned since then, so to avoid him being embarrassed, he stepped forward to Yingying to persuade him to drink.
Xie Bi now had no resistance against Dianhong. Seeing that Zhuo Qingyao did not continue to refuse, he immediately bowed and thanked: "Your lord is kind but disrespectful, sisters, please thank the three of my brothers a lot."
After the maids smiled and saluted, Xie Bi pulled his brothers into the seat, took the amber cup and took a sip, only to feel the wine dripping into his lips and throat, and a mellow fragrance spread from the tip of the tongue, straight to the brain The braised five internal organs are indeed the best in wine.
Although Zhuo Qingyao still felt a little unhappy, when he saw Xie Bi's appearance, he knew that he would never want to pull him away from the table again, so he could only persuade him: "This is not an ordinary fruit wine, although It's mellow, but the stamina is not small, you drink less."
But at this time, Xie Bi couldn't stop drinking, even if he drank slowly with delicious side dishes, he drank a dozen glasses unknowingly. The two maids seemed to know Xie Bi's drinking capacity very well, and when he drank the seventeenth cup, he stopped pouring more, but instead turned to Zhuo Qingyao and Xiao Jingrui to persuade him to drink. Although these two people were not good at drinking, they couldn't resist Zhao Dianhong's temptation.
The maids knew that the three of them hadn't slept well in the past two days, so they stepped forward to help them up and sent them to the guest rooms to sleep peacefully. Whether it was because of fatigue or drunkenness, all three of them slept until dawn the next day. When they woke up, they felt refreshed and exhausted. They admired Mei Changsu's hospitality even more.
After a little grooming, the man in blue who greeted him at the gate of the city yesterday came and apologized that the master had something to do and couldn't come to see him off. Please forgive Yunyun. Thinking of the identity of the suzerain of the Jiangzuo League, it is normal not to come, so Zhuo Qingyao hurriedly said his thanks, and the two of them stood at the gate of the courtyard rather than being polite, Xie Bi couldn't help laughing, pulling Xiao Jingrui and whispering: Big brother is so old-fashioned, where does he look like a Jianghu person, I think it is the most suitable for him to enter the court and the Ministry of Rites."
Zhuo Qingyao has good ears, he had heard it long ago, turned his head and glared at Xie Bi, but finally ended the long courtesan. .
After leaving the courtyard, the three of them sighed a few words about Mei Changsu's thoughtful behavior, but they didn't say much out of respect. Soon after the horse was back on the official road, he arrived at the dividing line. Zhuo Qingyao misses his wife and plans to rush back to Jinling at the same time. Xiao Jingrui really doesn't want to go home to see his parents at this time. In addition, the person who received the invitation to the birthday banquet is Zhuo Dingfeng. Go, so I decided to go to Leishan to pray for the birthday together. The three exhorted each other a few words and said goodbye.
Leishan was about half a month away from Xunyang, and the horses traveled for about half a month. The two were in no hurry, and they rode their horses slowly. Along the way, Xie Bi thought of countless ways to make Xiao Jingrui laugh. The latter also understood his good intentions and cooperated very strongly. The atmosphere is therefore not dull and gloomy.
Entering the Saan Mansion in the afternoon, the two were walking on the street, trying to find an inn that was pleasing to the eye, when they suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Jing Rui", and then a figure rushed over, almost knocking Xiao Jingrui into a stagger. .
"Jing Rui, are you alright? Are you alright?" The man said one after another, "I only heard yesterday that Miss Yun is going to marry someone else. I thought you must be very sad. I planned to find you right away, but I didn't know about you. Where have you been, who would have met you today! How are you? Are you uncomfortable?"
Xiao Jingrui struggled out of the man's hands and said lightly, "I'm fine, I'm fine."
"How is that possible?" The man's eyes widened, "I don't know about you, kid, so infatuated with Miss Yun, it won't get better if you don't suffer for a year and a half. Don't worry, tell me anything you have to say. , What is a friend for? It's time to comfort you. Let's go, I'll drink with you, and you'll feel better when you're drunk."
Xie Bi couldn't care less about maintaining his image as a young master, and rolled his eyes and shook his head. This Yan Yujin's heartless level is increasing day by day. He has been careful all day, and as soon as he appears, he will stab people's wounds.
"I'm really fine," Xiao Jingrui knew that his friend was like this, so he wasn't angry, he endured the pain in his heart and said, "Where are you going?"
"I don't have anything important, what about you, where are you going?"
"My second brother and I went to Leishan to pray for an elder's birthday."
"Then I'll go with you!"
"This is not good?" Xiao Jingrui was a little embarrassed, "Mother Leishan Ding is from the rivers and lakes, and the second brother is nothing. After all, everyone knows that the Xie Zhuo family is good, but you..."
"What's wrong with me? Am I not a Jianghu person?" Yan Yujin was very unhappy, "I haven't been in Jianghu for any shorter time than you."
Xie Bi laughed loudly and said, "Please, my eldest son Yan, are you also called "Walking Rivers and Lakes?" They are all secretly protecting your bodyguards, right? They just came out to play in the mountains and waters, who would be willing to bring you this trouble."
"What about me, are you better than me? If you weren't with Jing Rui, there must be a bunch behind you!"
"So, I've never claimed to be a Jianghu person. You can give up. Children like the two of us, no matter whether it is Xiuwen or Wushu, except those who are too unsatisfactory, sooner or later they will be appointed to official positions. Since they all have official status after all , then the people in the rivers and lakes are naturally not willing to interact with us more. I heard that your father has been planning to put you in Long Jinwei recently?"
"Isn't that right?" Yan Yujin suddenly became worried, "As soon as I said I couldn't go, he beat me up with family methods. It's still Jing Rui, and the emperor has specially granted him the option of entering the dynasty or traveling around the world. You say Why didn't I have the luck to have two identities when I was born?"
"This means that each person has his own life," Xie Bi pushed him away, "Go away, we're going to invest in the store."
"Jing Rui, Jing Rui," Yan Yujin held on to his friend, "you take me there, I'll drive them away... Anyway, I'm with you, so my family won't be worried. During your saddest time, I should be by your side no matter what."
Having been together since childhood, Xiao Jingrui knew that this person was a top-notch entanglement, and he didn't want to waste his time, so he nodded. In fact, Xie Bi also liked the straightforwardness of this uncle and son of the country. It would be better if he had more company. Yan Yujin happily went to clean up the guards.
Rest for one night in Saddle House, and set off after breakfast the next day. Xiao Jingrui and Xie Bi's attire was quite ordinary, only Yan Yujin was dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses, and they were so ostentatious that they almost didn't put the sign of the Tenth Young Master in the World on their heads.
"Forget it, let him be proud for a few days, it is estimated that he will be off the list next year." Xie Bi sighed helplessly, and looked at the few people behind him, "These guards are too careful, just him That way, you can see at a glance that someone with power and power came out, and whoever is okay will come to provoke him."
"If he hadn't had this carefree temper and casual disposition, he wouldn't have been on the list this year. You actually understand that in terms of background, talent, and looks, how could he be worse than me?" Xiao Jingrui continued, " In terms of the Langya Five Rankings, the Young Master List is actually the best. Although there are countless talents in the world, since you want to be called Young Master, your background is the most important, and the scope is suddenly much smaller. Most of you can be on this list. Very proud."
"You're too arrogant. I'm also a born son, how come I'm not on the list?" Although Xie Bi retorted, he knew in his heart that Xiao Jingrui's words were true. Although Mei Changsu was at the top of the list of young masters, if he was not the suzerain of the Jiang Zuo League, he would not have received such attention in the arena.
"What are you talking about?" Yan Yujin, having swaggered enough, urged the horse to come over and ask.
"We're saying that among the Five Langya Lists, the Young Master List is actually the least regarded by everyone." Xie Bi smiled.
But to his surprise, Yan Yujin didn't get angry, instead nodded and said, "Compared to those four rankings, it is true. Most of the most prominent people in our Young Master Ranking are also ranked in other rankings. For example, Jiangdong's son Prajna, ranked seventh on the master list, and Qin Yue, the current master of the sword, although he ranked fifth, but because he ranked ninth in the master list, the world knows about him. There are definitely more people than people who know about Jing Rui's second place. Like me, even though I made it to the list, everyone thinks it's just a son of a noble family and doesn't care much, so until today, I haven't received any beauties for being on the list. Xiangjian, invite me to meet her..."
"It turns out that you are trying so hard to be on the list to get to know more beauties," Xie Bi laughed, "You have bad intentions, you should fight."
"Cut, what about me, isn't Jing Rui wanting to become a member of the Langya List so seriously because of Miss Yun?" Yan Yujin opened his fan and shook it slyly, "But it's nothing, although our Young Master List is weaker. , that's just a comparison with the other four lists, considering that there are so many people in the world, we're pretty good, you won't like it if you're proud of it?"
"Yes, yes, your eldest young master is really amazing." When Xie Bi heard him mention Yun Piao Liao unabashedly, he quickly changed the subject, "By the way, isn't that Bai Haitang in your family ill, it has recovered recently. ?"
"Okay!" Yan Yujin's face was full of smiles, "I will take care of it myself every day, fertilizing and washing the leaves, and then I will serve it. If Langya Pavilion is ranked as one of the top ten gardeners in the world, I will definitely take care of it. on the list."
"Come on, besides fertilizing and washing leaves, what else do you do? Didn't you burn the seven-hearted orchid in my mother's princess' residence?"
"Hey, scolding people without exposing them, I will burn a seven-hearted orchid to death if I live so old, why do you keep mentioning it over and over again!"
"Yes, you only burned one of the seven heart orchids. What about the white narcissus? What about the golden leaf luan
"you… "
The two began to quarrel, and Xiao Jingrui deliberately avoided it. Just now Yan Yujin mentioned Yun Piao Liao casually, although his face was not revealed, there was still a burst of pain in his heart. It's just that the high hall is still there, and the relatives and friends are entangled. In order to prevent them from worrying about it, they can't indulge in love and sorrow.
Xie Bi was a careful person, and his mouth was arguing. He still saw the change in his brother's mood in his eyes. He hurriedly winked at Yan Yujin and said, "Didn't you say that it was fun to go to Qianzhou last time? What interesting things happened? Tell us about it."
Although Yan Yujin has a sloppy temperament, he is not stupid. He immediately reacted and pulled Xiao Jingrui with a smile: "Yes, yes, I've always wanted to tell you, but you don't have time to talk to me. Tell you, I met you. to a great lama!"
Xiao Jingrui has a smart temperament. How could he not know the intention of these two people? He also opened a small smile and said, "Yes, it must be interesting, please tell me quickly."
Yan Yujin took a stance, and was about to speak eloquently, when he suddenly stopped and stared blankly into the distance.
"What is that?" Xie Bi also stretched his neck and looked in the same direction.
A group of dozens of cavalry was passing through the wilderness, each with a heroic posture, horses like dragons, and a large flag was fluttering in the wind, and a silver bird of prey was about to fly on the black flag.
"That's Da Yu's messenger." Xiao Jingrui said solemnly with a condensed expression.
When Da Yu was mentioned, the expressions of the three of them became solemn. Although they are both sons and brothers who grew up in gold and jade, but after all, they came from aristocratic families, and they still know how the current situation is. What's more, they still have some fairly clear memories of the tragic war between their own country and Da Yu that ended in a draw twelve years ago.
"Da Yu is here to envoy, do you want to marry after all?" After a while, Xie Bi sighed, "I hope it's not Jing Ning's cousin."
Yan Yujin was also stunned for a moment, then suddenly shook his head and said, "Stop talking about this, let's go."
The other two also knew that this was state affairs, and it was useless to talk about it, and they both kept their mouths at the moment, silently urging their horses to move forward.
At noon, the place where I hit the top was a small and medium-sized county seat. It was still lively when I entered the city. I came down and walked on horses, looking for restaurants while strolling. Xie Bi walked at the front, and suddenly saw a two-story building, which was very delicately built. There was a cloth banner in front of the door with the word "wine" embroidered on it, and he hurriedly shouted: "Come here and see what this building looks like. , it's probably the best restaurant in the city, we're going to have a seat, we're really starving to death."
There was no objection to this suggestion. The three of them came to the front of the building together. Ding Qing looked at it and couldn't help being surprised.
The restaurant is indeed a restaurant, but it can only be said to be a former restaurant. The two carved wooden doors were smashed to the ground. As soon as you looked in, the interior was in a mess. The broken cups and cups fell to the ground. Not even the tables and chairs were intact. There was a lively fight here.
"It's a pity, such a good restaurant was ruined like this," Yan Yujin shook his head, "Let's go, let's go to the nearby cafe and ask what's going on."
The three of them turned around and entered the nearest tea house. They were facing the restaurant. The number of guests was unexpectedly large, and there were only a few empty tables left. A thin guy who looked very capable came over to say hello, settled down, and asked what tea would you like to drink.
"It's the best tea you can make here." Yan Yujin hurriedly said, and immediately asked, "What happened to the restaurant across from you, someone smashed the place?"
The guy was about to answer when someone on the table next to him suddenly slapped the table and scolded, "I still think that Master Song is too soft, the people from the Da Yu mission are so mad, smashing buildings and beating people, he actually Let it go!"
When he turned his head to look, it was a burly man with an angry expression on his face. His companion seemed to be more peaceful, and he was slowly persuading him: "Master Song is only a county official, and the mission is passing through the border. Is it hard enough?"
The man sneered: "At that time, Ji Daxia of the Jiangzuo League had already heard the news, and he was the seventh-ranked expert in Langya. Is there anyone in a bad mission who is his opponent? It's just that the Jiangbei League is so powerful. , in the end, it is only a Jianghu gang, and as usual, there is no conflict with the government, so Master Song ordered it to stop it, and Ji Daxia had no choice but to listen to him."
At this time, someone from the other table interjected: "It's true that Master Song wants to minimize the big things as much as possible, but if Ji Daxia can really defeat the masters in that mission, it's not necessarily true."
At this moment, most of the guests sitting in the teahouse are locals, and quite a few are witnesses to the building smashing incident in the morning. Even if they don’t know what happened at all, after listening to the complaint of the man just now, they can understand a general idea. Indignant, all turned their attention to the interjector.
The person who interjected was sitting at a square table by the aisle. It was an old man in his fifties with a slight gray beard. Next to him sat a fair little girl.
"Grandpa, is there anyone in the group of uncles who lost their temper in the morning who fought very hard? Is it worse than the uncle Ji who came later?" The little girl raised her head and asked everyone's common question.
"Yeah," the old man held up the teacup, but didn't drink it, "remember the last time Aunt Rong told you the story of Langya Bang?"
"Remember."
"That Uncle Ji ranked seventh on the master list, but there was someone in the other party who ranked fifth."
There was an uproar when the whole place was full. Anyone with a little experience in the arena knows who is the fifth person on the Langya Masters list.
"Golden Eagle Chai Ming?" Xiao Jingrui said to himself, "Is he actually in the Great Yu mission?"
The little girl blinked and asked again, "But I heard everyone say that those uncles and uncles came from the Great Yu Country. Are there any people in the Great Yu Country on the Langya List?"
This question was naive, but because the person asking the question was young, no one laughed at her.
"Little fool, didn't your aunt explain it to you clearly? This Langya List is about the heroes and beauties in the world, and it's not just us." The old man said patiently, "It's just a little bit more on our side. The current number one expert in the world, Xuan Bu, belongs to Da Yu."
Someone next to him couldn't hold back and asked, "This old gentleman, are you sure that the golden eagle Chai Ming is present?"
The old man smiled and said, "The old man is wandering around the world, and he has no other skills, just remember to remember. How could Chai Ming have seen it three times before, how could he make a mistake?"
Yan Yujin also interjected and asked, "What is the cause of the commotion? They are diplomatic missions. In our territory, don't they make any sense?"
"Who knows," replied a fat man, "they had packed five tables to eat, and it was very quiet all the time, but suddenly there was a commotion, saying that someone stole the credentials they brought and sealed the doors and windows of the restaurant. Stay here, we want to search everyone's bodies. Who do you think will be obedient to let them search? That's how we fought. Later, Master Song and the Jiang Zuomen entered the town scene, and the villains in Da Yu complained first, which was very threatening After a while, Lord Song gave in and asked everyone to search for them, but there were female guests in the restaurant, but there were no women in the embassy. Bian deceived people too much, but they couldn't believe it. Everyone was so angry that they almost fought again. Later, Ji Daxia came forward to argue for a long time, and someone from the diplomatic mission came out to persuade them. In the end, they didn't find any credentials, and they didn't search the women. Guest, but the people of Dayu didn't pay for the loss of the restaurant, so they went away like this."
"This is too unreasonable!" Xie Bi was young and vigorous, slamming the table, "Why do they say that the credentials were lost in this restaurant? Besides, whether there is this so-called credentials, it's not all of them. One-sided words!"
"Isn't it..." Being teased like this, everyone's anger rose again, and they scolded and quarreled together.
However, Xiao Jingrui did not participate in the venting of his emotions. His eyes were locked on a corner of the teahouse, and he stayed still.
