Treads——
踏踏踏——In an instantistendayslater, the Zhongli Jiujiusinglehorsefrom south to north, stopped the footstepsoutside the Fanyangcountycity, slightlyvacantlooks at the obsoletecity between snow whitewind and snow.
转眼已经是十天后,钟离玖玖单人一马从南走到北,在范阳郡城外停下了脚步,略显茫然的看着皑皑风雪间的老旧城池。Tenyears ago, beginningZhongli JiujiuJianghu, is widely traveledinland under heaven, oncehad come toYouzhou.
十年前,钟离玖玖初出江湖,在天下间走南闯北,曾来过幽州。At that timeGreat Yuefirstemperoralso, JianghuthatJianghu, Youzhouthispiece of dragon's headwasZhu Choushan, faced one anotherwithQingzhouthatpiece of Lu Familydistantly, belowhadEast Sea12andYouzhouTang Familyand otherJianghuaristocratic family, was almost the entireGreat YueJianghucore area.
那时候大玥的先帝还在,江湖还是那个江湖,幽州这片儿的龙头是祝稠山,和青州那片的陆家遥遥相望,下有东海十二门、幽州唐家等江湖世家,几乎是整个大玥江湖的核心地域。
The Jianghupersondoes not arrestin the regulation, butinheritsremoteschoolaristocratic family, veryheavycustom. So long asin the districts of jurisdiction of majorschools, does not offend the local area the matterperson, doing businessis also goodto take a walk, generallywill not have problems.江湖人不拘于律法,但传承久远的门派世家,非常重规矩。只要在各大门派的辖境内,不冒犯当地的话事人,经商也好走动也罢,一般不会出问题。Zhongli Jiujiu1 st visit to Fanyangcountytime, on the major roadcarries the Jianghuguest of bladesaberto crowd one another, the poster under city gatepastesis notimperial decree of government authorities, butwasonJianghu the recentimportant matter, for example‚the herofemale of somefactionbecamepresent ageEight Beautiesandsomeknight-errantto runto go toEast Sea12to kickhallto raiseland under heaven’wait/etc, the sceneseemed the imperial civil service examinationto announce a list of successful candidatesto be the same, is attractingallmartial artistmind.钟离玖玖第一次来范阳郡的时候,官道上携刀佩剑的江湖客摩肩接踵,城门下的告示牌贴的也不是官府的诏文,而是江湖上最近发生的大事,比如‘某派的侠女成了当代八魁、某个游侠跑去东海十二门踢馆名扬天下’等等,场面就好似科举放榜一样,吸引着所有武人的心神。Rememberedthat time, the existencefeeling of royal governmentwas very weak, sometimesJianghueveryonecontended in martial arts, the localcountydefended the county magistratealsoto runto be the master of ceremoniesspecially, hitto relatewithlocalmartial artist.
记得那时候,朝廷的存在感很薄弱,有时候江湖大家比武,当地郡守县令还专门跑来当司仪,和当地武人打好关系。Alsowasat that time, Zhongli Jiujiuon the poster under city gate, experienced‚Eight Beauties’unattainableelegant demeanor, sproutedat heart for the first time idea of becomingEight Beauties.
也是那时候,钟离玖玖在城门下的告示牌上,见识到了‘八魁’高不可攀的风采,心里也第一次萌生了成为八魁的想法。
The shorttenyears, disappear.
短短十年,转瞬即逝。Zhongli Jiujiugoes to the place that the dreamstartsagain, actuallyalreadythe people are no longer the same.钟离玖玖再次来到梦开始的地方,却早已物是人非。Twozhang (3.33 m)highcity wallis still palatial, butobviouslydid not have the pastvigor, officers who fourare holding the riflelazilybyundercity gate, is exposing to the sunwinter day warm sun after heavy snowfirst clear.
两丈高的城墙依旧巍峨,但明显没了往日的精气神,四个抱着大枪的官兵懒洋洋靠在城门下,晒着大雪初晴后的冬日暖阳。
The poster outside city gate, did not haveagainin the pastby the magnificent scene that the peoplesurround, on the obsoletewooden signis pastingseveralturning yellowbulletins, in the bulletinis the evildoers who the government authoritiesissue a warrant for arrest, paints a portraitslurred, somebulletinsare incomplete, does not know how longhas not traded.
城门外的告示牌还在,却再无当年被众人围观的盛景,老旧木牌上贴着几张发黄的告示,告示上是官府通缉的匪类,画像模糊不清,有的告示残缺不全,也不知多久没换过了。In the impression of Zhongli Jiujiu, the Fanyangcounty and Jizhoucommon border, is the two sidescommunicationsmustbyitplace, be been very lively.
在钟离玖玖的印象里,范阳郡和冀州交界,是两边来往的必经之处,十分繁华。At this timelooks, the stylishJianghuguestis nothing left, onlyremainsrareseveralto runJianghu, istravel-wornentersto be quickquickly, when major roadnearbylongemaciatedordinary common people, selects the mountain productsto go to the cityto tradeobviously, butin those daysfrequentlygathered the wealthy familyadviser of goonandbodyguardalsoto vanishin the city gateplace, the entirecountycitydiedprobably was the same.
此时看去,衣着光鲜的江湖客荡然无存,只剩少有几个跑江湖的,也是风尘仆仆快进快出,官道边上时长可见面黄肌瘦的寻常百姓,挑着山货去城里贩卖,而往日经常在城门处招揽打手、镖师的富家师爷也消失了,整个郡城都好像死了一样。Zhongli Jiujiuis pulling the scarlethorse, before arriving at the poster, looked atseveral, at this timedetects,in the pastIron Eagle Hunting Deer, made intowhatappearanceCentral PlainJianghu, possibly the entireFanyangcounty, onlyhad the farmer of putting one's nose to the grindstone.钟离玖玖牵着大红马,走到告示牌前看了几眼,此时才察觉到,当年一场铁鹰猎鹿,把中原江湖打成了什么模样,可能整个范阳郡,就只剩下面朝黄土背朝天的庄稼汉了。HoweverJianghueventuallyisJianghu, possiblylullhiddeninunderground, will actually never vanish.
不过江湖终究是江湖,可能一时沉寂隐于地下,却永远不会消失。Zhongli Jiujiuis leading a horseto enter the countycity, sought for the momenton the winterbleakstreet, by the pastmemory, arrived atoutside the smallinn of west marketalley.钟离玖玖牵着马进入郡城,在冬日萧索的街道上寻找了片刻,凭借往日的记忆,来到了西市小街的一家小客栈外。
The alleyis not long, is being situatedseveralprostitutework placesandGambling Street, the businessis not fiery red.
小街不长,坐落着几家妓坊、赌坊,生意并不火红。Under the eaves of inn, wears the middle-aged guy of felt hat by the deck chair, the handis mid-level the sand-fired pot, sidehas a young man, shouldbe the apprentice of middle-aged guy, is sayinganythingwith a smile.
客栈的屋檐下,戴着毡帽的中年汉子靠在躺椅上,手中端着紫砂壶,旁边有个年轻小伙儿,应该是中年汉子的徒弟,正在含笑说着什么。Middle-aged guyZhongli Jiujiuknew,isinformation dealer of Fanyangcity, namedLiu Wu.
中年汉子钟离玖玖认识,是范阳城的消息贩子,名为刘武。
The Jianghupersongenerallyis called as‚whitepaper fan’thisperson, the contactbusiness, inquired that the newsmustdepend onthisperson, the black and whitetworelationsare close, enjoying the sight and sound of the wind whipping up the water that evenChang'an Citynear the Emperorcanmix, Iron Eagle Hunting Deernaturallycannotbe brought disaster.江湖人一般把这种人称作‘白纸扇’,联络买卖、打听消息都得靠这种人,黑白两道关系都密切,连长安城天子脚下都能混的风生水起,铁鹰猎鹿自然不会受到殃及。
Nearby Zhongli Jiujiuarrives, sits downon the deck chairoppositechair.钟离玖玖走到跟前,在躺椅对面的椅子上坐下。Liu WuapprenticeLi Lin, stopped the words, finds the Zhongli Jiujiubeautiful womanappearance, at presentslightlyonebright, takes the leadto open the mouth saying:刘武的徒弟李霖,停下了话语,瞧见钟离玖玖的倾城容颜,眼前微微一亮,率先开口道:„Isn't young lady1 st visit to Fanyangcounty? Looksunfamiliar, the place is actually very ripe.”
“姑娘不是第一次来范阳郡吧?看着面生,地方倒是挺熟。”Liu Wuis carrying the sand-fired pot, partlynarrowed the eyesto focusto look, alsoclosed, saidin a soft voice: 110E-books刘武端着紫砂壶,半眯着眼瞄了下,又闭上了,轻声道:110电子书„Hasn't your girl, died? Whomalsopreparesto damage?”
“你这丫头,还没死啊?又准备过来祸害谁?”Zhongli Jiujiuwas recognizedby the opposite party, is not accidental/surprised. Doesthisline of memories to be good, shewas youngin the past, stirs up troubleinYouzhouJianghu, but alsotied upcrest of waveabundantSaint of PaintingXu Danqing, if not remember that sheis not competent.钟离玖玖被对方认出来,并不意外。干这行的记性都好,她当年年纪小,在幽州江湖兴风作浪,还把风头正盛的画圣徐丹青绑了,若是不记得她才是不称职。„The Shopkeeper Liumemoryis actually good, I20over, perhapswithout the accident/surprise, candeliveryoufirstto walk. Thistimecomesnot to damage the person, butfinds the person.”
“刘掌柜记性倒是不错,我才二十出头,若是没意外,恐怕能送您先走。这次过来不祸害人,只是找人。”„Hehe......”
“呵呵……”Liu Wusweptsilver ingot on the teacase, nods: „Said that recentlyonJianghu the person is a much less, must make the bigtrouble, looksin the share of repeat customer, remindedtoyou, be carefulis setting uprighthorizontally.”刘武扫了眼茶案上的银锭,点了点头:“说吧,最近江湖上过来的人有点多,恐怕要出大乱子,看在回头客的份儿上,给你提个醒,当心竖着进来横着出去。”
When Zhongli Jiujiuis young frivolouson the say/way that offends the characterare many, regarding thisanddoes not care, the chuckleinquired:钟离玖玖年少轻狂时得罪的道上人物不少,对此并不在意,轻笑询问:„Shopkeeper Liuhad a mind. Iinquired that youngYoung Masterwhereabouts, about 20, compared withyourapprenticehighhalf a head, are riding the strolling in the snowhorse of Outer Mongolia, hasto accompany. According to the time reckoning, shouldpass byfrom the Fanyangcountyover the two days, possiblyhad passed, can Shopkeeper Liuoncesee?”
“刘掌柜有心了。我打听个年轻公子的下落,二十左右,比你徒弟高半头,骑着漠北的踏雪马,带有随从。按时间推算,这两天应该从范阳郡路过,可能已经过去了,刘掌柜可曾见过?”Liu Wunarrowed the eyesto focussilent, lifted the silver ingot on handleteacaseto slide, nod:刘武眯着眼沉默了下,抬手把茶案上的银锭滑了过来,点头:„At noon the day before yesterday, hadsuchpersonallyfromChengli Road, has not stayed, is unknown. young ladyrests a eveningin the city, Isend peopleto inquire,tomorrow morningwill delivertoyoung lady the news.”
“前天中午,是有这么个人从城里路过,未曾停留,去向不明。姑娘在城里歇息一晚,我派人去打听打听,明早把消息给姑娘送过去。”„Many thanks.”
“多谢。”Zhongli Jiujiufound the whereaboutsfinally, relaxesat heartmuch, set outgood the Jianghuritual, is leading a horse the alley.钟离玖玖总算找到了下落,心里放松不少,起身行了个江湖礼,便牵着马出了小街。Liu WulosesmoneytoapprenticeLi Lin, saidin a soft voice:刘武将银子丢给徒弟李霖,轻声道:„Inquired, two female and one male, threepersontwohorses, a malebelt/bringbladeswordspear/gun, walkedtoward the north.”
“去打听一下,两女一男,三个人两匹马,男的带一刀一剑一枪,往北边走的。”Li Linreceived the silver ingot, the visionstoppedas in the direction that Zhongli Jiujiuvanished, slightlyhesitant, took possessionto inquire:李霖收起了银锭,目光依旧停在钟离玖玖消失的方向,稍微犹豫了下,附身询问道:„Master, thisyoung ladywho? Seessuchattractiveyoung ladyto walkJianghufirst time......”
“师父,这姑娘谁啊?还是头一次见着这么漂亮的姑娘走江湖……”„Ye Jiuniang, the Southern Yueperson, beforeandNing Yuhehas struggledXuanhe Eight Beauties, the natureis attractive. Howeveritmakes good use of the poisonextremely, beforeyoungcustom, whenYouzhoutakes a walkoffendedmanypeople.”
“夜九娘,南越的人,以前和宁玉合争过宣和八魁,自然漂亮。不过其极善用毒,以前年纪小不懂规矩,在幽州走动时得罪了不少人。”"Oh......"“哦……”
The Li Linslight nod, the eyeballtransferred the revolutions, asked:李霖微微点头,眼珠转了转,又问道:„Whomhas offended?”
“得罪过谁啊?”Liu Wuis carrying the sand-fired pot, slightlysilent, opened the eyeto sweepapprenticeoneeyes:刘武端着紫砂壶,稍微沉默了下,睁开眼睛扫了徒弟一眼:„Does our lines, should notaskdid not ask, should notsaydid not say, otherwise, morning of dying.”
“干我们这行的,不该问的不问,不该说的不说,不然,死的早。”Li Lincomplexiononestiff, the nodsaidhastily: „Iasked that curiously...... young ladywalksJianghu, Jianghustraightens uprarely.”李霖脸色一僵,连忙点头道:“我就是好奇问一下……一个姑娘家走江湖,江湖上挺少见的。”„Before many, mores of society are declining daily, young heart in the old days.”
“以前多的很,世风日下,人心不古罢了。”Liu Wulifted the handat will, thenclosed the eye by the deck chair.刘武随意抬了抬手,便闭上眼睛靠在了躺椅上。Li Linnods, slightlyran the lane......李霖点了点头,小跑出了巷子……
