Chapter 1,603 An unexpected move

Daming Mansion, south of Shen County, Weijiagou Chemadian.

The whole of Hebei is the main production area of ​​pine ink in the Song Dynasty, and the number of famous ink masters is also increasing day by day. There are more than one hundred and dozens of people who can be examined, such as Sheng Kuangdao, Wang Di, Pan Gu, Chang He, Pu Dashao, etc., all of whom are famous in the world.

There are many collectors of famous ink paintings, the most famous ones include Wu Kai, Sima Guang, Da Su and others.

Wang Shen, the husband-in-law of the eldest princess of the Xu Kingdom, after an accident, stopped his mind to study calligraphy, painting and ink, step by step from using ink to making ink. Today, Jin Qing Mo, who is famous in the Song Dynasty, is already "

Price and gold, etc.”

The origin of traditional ink in the Song Dynasty is in Shezhou and Yanzhou.

Nowadays, Shu ink and Hainan Caixiang ink have also begun to emerge.

From Yanzhou to Damingfu, the most important product transported is pine and ink, and the old road passes through Xiaoyangang in the west of Yanggu County.

After crossing Xiaoyang Gang, we arrived at Shen County, the southernmost county of Daming Prefecture.

After the opening of the new canal, there were fewer merchants walking on this road. They were mainly idlers who took shortcuts without carrying goods.

Weijiagou, as a place where merchants settled under Xiaoyang Gang, became desolate.

This place is not only the junction of Jingdong East Road and Hebei East Road, but also the junction of Kaide Prefecture, Daming Prefecture, Yunzhou, and Puzhou. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and now it has been reduced to a boundary where no one cares.

.

Recently, a group of salesmen came to Weijiagou. There were about a dozen men in black. They were not easy to get along with at first glance. Among them was a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar. He brought a box made of willow vines and had already stayed at the carriage and horse shop.

For three days, it seemed that I was waiting for someone.

The owner of the carriage and horse shop, Old Wei, was also a luxurious man with extensive knowledge of mountains and mountains. He protected a dozen idle men under his command and saved a lot of lives over the years. The scribes and men in black seemed to be similar to Old Wei's men.

I'm familiar with it, I drink wine and eat meat every day, and I'm bored wrestling and playing games, which is quite happy.

Today, Old Wei came back from making noodles outside and settled down. He patted the white noodles on his body with a handkerchief, opened the door curtain and came in: "I wonder, Old Jackdaw, how come you have become so prosperous, but it turned out that you have made a good living with a noble man? How can you make a good living?

I forgot to bring in the brothers and sisters who were in trouble back then.”

Old Jackdaw said: "Back then, the village was broken up and everyone was seeking their own livelihood. I didn't care about it. The most prosperous among the brothers was Sun Laoer. He opened a gambling stall in Daming Mansion. Then

That’s how you make money every day!”

"He's just having fun for nothing!" Lao Wei was not envious at all: "The money is just below the waist of the mother-in-law. Are all the women in Daming Mansion within our reach?"

Old Jackdaw couldn't help but laugh: "You don't know something. Without his wives to win over the officials, how can the gambling stall be opened?"

"Has the straight girl's price dropped to this low?!" Lao Wei suddenly realized: "This bowl of rice is worth it!"

"They're just a couple, no one takes it seriously!" Old Jackdaw teased: "Old Wei, you are still the same old-tempered and upright person! But in this world, my mother has changed a long time ago!"

Old Wei shook his head: "The two brothers are reunited here. That's because they respect me, Old Wei. I have nothing to do with any business between you. It's just one thing. It seems that the solar term is coming now. What's the matter? It's the end of the year.

No return?"

"Go back, why don't you go back? You'll go back after finishing this business." Old Jackdaw said: "The end of the year has its own benefits. Ambassador Su has returned to his name, and officials everywhere are relieved. Sun

The second brother is lucky this time. If the proprietor hadn't stopped his business for a few months, would it be his turn?"

After saying that, he handed over to Old Wei and said, "When it's done, I'll have my share, too."

At this moment, there was an old owl's cry in the black pine forest outside the carriage shop. Old Wei's men came in and threw him a simple knife. Old Wei copied it in his hand: "It should be Sun Lao'er who has arrived. Brother, please wait a moment."

Sit down, I'll pick you up."

After a while, Lao Wei came back, and two other people came back with him, but they were Sun Laoer and Wu Ren.

Old Jackdaw immediately became alert: "Sun Laoer! You brought an outsider with you!"

When the men in black heard Old Jackdaw's voice, they immediately stood up and put their hands on Lai's waist. The scene became tense for a moment.

Wu Ren, on the other hand, didn't take it seriously at all: "Sun Laoer, this is your Dongpingbo wine-sacrifice master back then? He was very talkative before coming here, but now it seems that he doesn't regard you as a brother!"

Old Jackdaw said: "Sun Lao Er, I regard him as his brother who cut off his head in exchange for his life, but brother, you are a stranger."

Wu Ren couldn't help but smile miserably: "The world is in turmoil, and my reputation has not been heard for a long time. My name... Wu Sheng, an old mother, raised three thousand people, and everyone here is Gu Bailian."

Old Wei was shocked and said: "Demon handsome He Jiulang!"

Wu Ren shook his head: "Jiulang Jun has been defeated and ascended to heaven long ago. Now I am just a scattered person in the world."

Old Wei hugged Wu Ren, then turned to Old Jackdaw and said: "Back then, Lord Jiulang raised a banner and rebelled against the imperial court. The brothers in the village only hated him for their low abilities and did not dare to defect. But when it comes to his career, they all admire him!"

"I just cut my hair, and I realized that this heroic brother is the fourth head of the family under Mr. Jiulang. How can I give in to such abruptness!"

Wu Ren also waved his hand: "There is no room for concessions in the world. Brother Wu Ren has come and gone in vain. There is no such person."

The old jackdaw's eyes flashed: "A red mouth and white teeth are not enough. Is there any token?"

Wu Ren said: "It is a big deal to rebel against the family background. This time I am just accompanying the two brothers Sun on a escort trip. If you believe it, you will believe it. If you don't believe it, it doesn't matter."

The old Jackdaw said: "We are all brothers from all over the world, and we share the same spring with a hundred grasses and a thousand flowers. Such brothers should kill cattle and cook sheep to treat each other. If their origins are unknown, it will lead to the introduction of brothers."

Wu Ren sneered: "If you put it this way, if I haven't proved my identity, will it implicate the second brother Sun?"

After speaking, he took out a silver wat from his sleeve and slapped it on the table: "The Three Mountains and Five Sacred Mountains commanded that the lotus be reincarnated to save Wu Sheng. I don't know if Master recognizes this thing."

"Lotus Order!" Old Wei and Sun Laoer were both shocked. He Jiulang used this order to contact his colleagues. Several of them had heard of him in the village, but given their status at the time, they had never seen him before.

Old Jackdaw reached out and looked through the silver tablet: "It's something I haven't seen for twenty years..."

After saying that, he handed over to Wu Ren: "If you can take out the Lotus Order, you should no longer have any doubts about your brother, but this was all twenty years ago, and the Lotus Order no longer has the same effectiveness as it did back then."

Wu Ren took back the Lotus Order and kept it in a precious and important place: "According to Master's wishes, what should we do?"

Old Jackdaw said: "I heard that the officers and soldiers were so jealous of the sudden attack by Mr. Jiulang back then. Today I need to show off my skills to open the eyes of our brothers."

With a wave of his hand, a tower-like man in black stood up and said in a strong voice: "Shi Wubing, Sanshan, Qingzhou Town, Sajia, was born late. What is He Jiulang? I don't know!"

He was the master invited by Old Jackdaw to control the situation, but unexpectedly, Sun Laoer had the same idea. If he didn't stop this trend today, then he wouldn't have to work under Old Jackdaw in the future.

Wu Ren was expressionless: "Then go out and talk."

Arriving at the teaching venue, Shi Wubing chose a simple knife and danced a pattern: "Ask me for advice!"

Wu Ren looked at Old Jackdaw: "Brother, can't you use the whistle stick?"

The old Jackdaw smiled and said: "If you are really abrupt, what's the difference between a whistle stick and a simple knife?"

Wu Ren pulled out two half-foot-long iron rods from his sleeves: "That's true, but if you want to see something unexpected, someone will die today."

Shi Wubing shook his simple sword: "The sword has no eyes, everyone is determined by his destiny, and the sword head licks blood, how can there be so much nonsense!"

After saying that, he stepped forward with his sword and fought with Wu Ren.

Fighting against each other, Shi Wubing took advantage of him. A simple knife was like a blow from the wind. Wu Ren only used the short stick to protect his whole body, and the blade of the knife struck the iron rod, causing bursts of sparks to fly.

Everyone cheered and encouraged Shi Wubing.

But strangely, Wu Ren seemed to be in danger everywhere, but after rolling for more than ten times, Shi Wubing couldn't take any advantage.

After ten moves, Wu Ren was heard shouting: "After twenty years in the world, is there no one left?"

The move changed, and he suddenly bullied Shi Wubing's inner door. The two iron rods turned from defense to offense, hitting his face with the top and thrusting down into his crotch.

Shi Wubing was shocked and had no choice but to abandon his sword and prepare to use his bare-handed skills to get Wu Ren's iron rod.

But Wu Ren kicked out and knocked Shi Wubing into a fight: "Let's stop fighting!"

This kick hit Shi Wubing's ribs right in the middle, instantly breaking Shi Wubing's breath. Shi Wubing flew three steps away, struggled for a long time, and couldn't get up.

Wu Ren then turned around and looked at Old Jackdaw, who was looking thoughtful: "Master, do you still want to test the Sa family?"

But I heard Old Wei shout: "Brother, be careful!"

But Shi Wubing finally struggled, pulled out a sharp knife from his waist, and stabbed Wu Ren hard.

Wu Ren was so good that he didn't even turn around, he just swung his right hand back suddenly, and saw a two-foot iron mace suddenly pop out from the front of the short iron rod. The mace head was impartial and hit Shi Wubing's temple!
