Compared with Chang'an, the capital of the Western Wei Dynasty, Jiankang occupies a larger area and is more prosperous. There are many tall towers in the city. Pavilions three to five feet high can be seen everywhere, and seven or eight-story pavilions are not uncommon.
The clothes of the residents in the city are also more neat and tidy than those in the north. Silks and satins are more common, and even linen clothes are mostly fine linen, which is much finer and softer than the coarse linen worn by northerners.
Fatty dug for a night and was already hungry. The first thing he did after entering the city was to find a place to eat. Breakfast in Liang was not called breakfast but morning tea. The variety of food was much richer than that in the Western Wei Dynasty. In addition to the staple food, there were also various refreshments, which were huge. There are dozens of tables in the lobby, which is crowded and lively.
People in the Western Wei Dynasty liked to drink wine when eating. After drinking too much, they would brag and beat drums at the top of their lungs. The people of Liang State like to drink tea when eating, talk slowly and leisurely, and talk about great achievements for a long time.
At first Nanfeng admired the indifferent and elegant atmosphere of the Liang people, but before finishing the meal, he realized that this was not the case, because many scholars and scholars, including some merchants and officials, seemed to be talking. They are grand and far-reaching, but in fact they are completely ungrounded. They open their mouths and talk about the great achievements of Qianqiu, but they have no idea what they are talking about or what they want to express. To put it bluntly, it is empty talk, pretentious empty talk, just for the sake of talking. Talk, worthless.
"Eat, you listen to their nonsense. They don't do business all day long, so they just brag and talk nonsense." The fat man ate with his mouth full of oil.
"The north has been occupied by foreigners, and they still convince people with their virtues. They talk about a great cause for a long time. If this continues, even the south of the Yangtze River will not be saved." Nanfeng shook his head. The way of Confucius and Mencius was regarded by the Liang people as the way of a gentleman, and they respected it. To conquer the enemy without fighting, the people of Liang are proud of adhering to the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and despise all barbarism and vulgarity. Little do they know that many times the truth is so barbaric and vulgar. Conquering others with virtue is only suitable for gentlemen to gentlemen. If the other party is Villain, the more you convince others with virtue, the more the other party will take advantage of you.
"It sounds like you have the world in mind," the fat man handed a plate of white chopped chicken to Mo Li, "Come on, come on, this is delicious."
The conversation between the two aroused the dissatisfaction of the diners at the next table. A young man who looked like a scholar left his seat and walked over. When he got closer, he raised his hands and bowed to the three of them. "A few brothers have invited me. I thought the two people's previous comments were biased." , is unfair, not only insults the scholars of Jiangnan, but also slanders the great saints and great virtues of the past, and is a humble student with no talent. I am willing to argue with the three of you who persuade people with virtue."
The fat man patiently listened to what he said, his eyes widened, "Mom, get out of here."
The scholar was very surprised when he heard this. It seemed that he had never met such a vulgar and vicious person, but he was unwilling to leave just like that. He bravely said again, "The sage said that three armies can seize his commander, but an ordinary man cannot seize his ambition. Brother Taiwan is so viciously slandering..."
"Go away, stop pretending to be someone here." The fat man grabbed Nanfeng's meteorite iron sword and tried to slash it. The scholar hurriedly ran away when he saw this. The fat man was still angry and sat down angrily, "Give back the three fucking armies. But if the army loses its commander, how many people will die? Even if an ordinary man has ambition, what can he do? After drinking a cup of tea, you will feel that you are not an ordinary person, and you will be stupid. "
The fat man's voice was so loud that the surrounding diners heard it, but they were afraid of their brutality, so they just lowered their heads to eat and drink, and did not dare to argue with them.
"If the barbarians from the north come over, all of them will be chickens waiting to die." The fat man put down his sword and picked up a small bun, brought it to his mouth and put it down again, "It's off to the uncle's appetite."
"Let's go and find big brother." Nan Feng put down his chopsticks.
After paying the bill, the three of them left the tea shop and inquired about the whereabouts of Chen Baxian and Lu Pingchuan. Chen Baxian was a high official in the border area. Although he did not live in Jiankang, Jiankang had a house awarded by the imperial court.
The three of them found the place and asked the concierge if Lu Pingchuan was in the Chen Mansion. The concierge replied, "General Chen is discussing matters with the generals, and General Lu is among them." '
According to Nanfeng's wish, he was waiting at the door, but the fat man didn't have that patience, "Go in and tell Chen Baxian that Zhengde is here."
The concierge looked embarrassed when he heard this, and the fat man glared again, "Go ahead."
The concierge has gone.
Fatty had previously helped Chen Baxian and others deal with Li Ben, who had rebelled against him, and he had done a lot of hard work. Chen Baxian knew he was coming and immediately went out to greet him in person. Chen Baxian walked in the front, followed by Lu Pingchuan and more than a dozen generals in civilian clothes.
The original soul and Qinglong have different fates. Chen Baxian is a mortal, so there is no true soul appearing on his head.
Lu Pingchuan's aura was dark blue at this time, which was naturally due to the tortoise shell heavenly book. Otherwise, his spiritual energy cultivation would not have improved so quickly.
Chen Baxian and others also recognized Nanfeng. When they were trapped in a lonely city in southern Xinjiang and almost starved to death, it was Nanfeng who saved them.
When Chen Baxian greeted the two of them, Li Li recognized Lu Pingchuan and cheered, "Brother."
Even with his colleagues nearby, Lu Pingchuan still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. He quickly stepped forward, hugged Mo Li and cried loudly.
There were many pedestrians in front of the general's mansion. In order to avoid being noticed, Chen Ba first politely let the three of them in, invited them into the hall, then excused himself and left, and went to the side hall with his generals to continue the discussion.
When Lu Pingchuan saw Mo Li, he was both happy and ashamed. There was a hurdle in his heart that he could not overcome, which was the fact that he had received ten taels of silver from Nian and his wife that day.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Nanfeng knew what he wanted to say to Li Qiye, so he interrupted him, "Brother, at that time we were just like mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, and no one had the ability to take care of Mo Li Zhouquan."
Lu Pingchuan knew that Nanfeng was comforting him, so he glanced at Nanfeng gratefully, then patted Mo Li on the shoulder, "From now on, you will follow me. If you have a bite to eat, my eldest brother will give it to you first."
"Okay." Mo Li happily agreed. They are both brothers, but there are subtle differences. Mo Li has been close to Lu Pingchuan since he was a child and is Lu Pingchuan's follower.
"You don't want to learn Kung Fu from me?" Nan Feng asked with a smile.
Fatty was also very close to Lu Pingchuan, so he said from the sidelines, "It's the same thing if you give Big Brother the Heavenly Book and ask Big Brother to teach him."
"Haha, okay." Nanfeng laughed and nodded.
"General Chen is making important decisions with us," Lu Pingchuan stood up and said to Fatty and Li Qiye, "You two sit here for a while," then turned to look at Nanfeng, "Follow me to the side hall. "
Lu Pingchuan made a decision and explained that the matter discussed by everyone was important and confidential. The current situation was unclear. He did not want to stand in line, so he hesitated and did not get up.
Lu Pingchuan guessed what he was thinking and said seriously, "I won't make any mistakes."
Hearing what Lu Pingchuan said, Nanfeng could only get up and go to the side hall with him.
Most of the generals present knew Nanfeng and knew that Nanfeng was a member of the Taoist sect with strong magic skills. Seeing that Lu Pingchuan had brought him here, they did not doubt or mind, but looked happy.
After the greetings, Nanfeng declined the offer and sat behind Lu Pingchuan...
