„Harnesses!” “驾！” On the yellow mountain road was splashed the intermittent dust gravel by the horse's hoof, a vigorous and healthy chestnut horse speeds along the mountain road, the vigorous wind pressure of having results under the roadside both sides clover to press. 灰黄色的山道上被马蹄溅起阵阵灰尘砂砾,一匹健壮的黄骠马在山道上飞驰而过,带起的疾风压得路边两侧草头下压。 The knight whole body sweat that the black vigor installs to wear a mask, the forehead blew up the careful black blue vein, the vest is soaked by the sweat. 黑色劲装蒙面的骑士浑身大汗,额头鼓起细细的黑色青筋,背心早已被汗水湿透。 „!” Suddenly drinks lowly. “着！”忽然一声低喝。 The black stone hits together baseless from one side, strength strange big, center knight left shoulder. 一道黑色石块凭空从侧面打过来,劲力奇大,正中骑士左肩。 Bang one knocks down dismount it ruthlessly. 嘭的一下将其狠狠打落下马。 Greek law law! 希律律！ After chestnut horse long hiss, speed quicker panic-stricken fled. Only leaves behind the black clothes knight who falls dismounts to force from the ground to crawl to set out. 黄骠马长嘶一声后,速度更快的惊恐逃离了。只留下摔下马的黑衣骑士勉强从地上爬起身。 Bang! 砰！ The big foot that wears the riding boot steps on ruthlessly on this person of shoulder, pressed it again, lies in the ground. 一只穿着马靴的大脚狠狠踩在这人肩膀上,将其再度按了回去,趴在地面。 „Worry Free Mansion young private, yo, is the Black Clothes Guard pass on message!” A wear contamination sloppy bald monk jumps from the roadside thick patch of grass. “无忧府的小卒子,哟,还是黑衣卫传讯！”一个穿着污秽邋遢的光头和尚从路边草丛跳出来。 His skilled raises the black clothes knight hand upward, sharp such as the stroke of nail of blade on his small arm, immediately cuts the clothes and skin, pulls out tiny yellow paper with the blood. 他一把熟练的将黑衣骑士手往上一提,锋利如刀的指甲在其小臂上一划,顿时划破衣服和皮肤,和着血抽出来一张细小的黄色皮纸。 „Who you are!!?” The black clothes knight's from the horses of running quickly was pounded, the body hit on several rubble stones, has been the severe wound in the body, at this time the mouth also started to spit blood, quickly is not shortly good, but he was unwilling, is staring asked sternly. “你们到底是什么人！！？”黑衣骑士从奔驰的马匹上被砸下来,身体撞在了好几块石头上,早已经是重伤在身,此时嘴里也开始吐血,眼看快不行了,但他还是不甘心,瞪着眼睛厉声问。 „We? Had so many social dealings, not clear?” The monk is corpulent, on a cassock is black unslaked lime greasy dirt, heard after the word, immediately smiled. He also no longer pays attention to the black clothes knight, looks to that paper that in the hand turns. “我们？打了这么多次交道,还没清楚吗？”那和尚肥头大耳,一身袈裟上全是黑一块灰一块的油污,闻言后顿时笑了。他也不再理会黑衣骑士,看向手里翻出来的那块皮纸。 „Makes the Buddha have a look is any information, ‚Zhen Family flees Northern Land chaos Shangyang Family to enter’” “让佛爷看看是些什么情报,‘甄家逃离北地大乱上阳家进驻’” „You are Yun State odd/surplus evil!” The black clothes knight remembered anything immediately, opens the eye. “你们是云州余孽！”黑衣骑士顿时想起了什么,睁大眼睛。 Pū! 噗！ His chest one was stepped on to cave by the fat monk, immediately has not been mad. 他胸膛一下被肥和尚一脚踩塌陷进去,顿时没气了。 „Grandmaster!” Not the far mountain wall place transfers several people, saw that here ground has the person, hurries to run over. “大师！”不远山壁处又转出来几个人,看到这边地上有人,也赶紧跑过来。 And a forefront person, pretty, the appearance is delicate and pretty, the skin is fair, looked is had a high and respected position the son of upper-class family, linen clothes and that person that the body wore seemingly were incompatible. 其中最前面的一人,眉清目秀,容貌俊美,皮肤白皙细腻,一看便是养尊处优惯了的贵公子,身上穿着的一身麻布衣服和其人看起来格格不入。 „Young Master Li came , caught a Worry Free Mansion young private by chance. Also thinks that can obtain what valuable information, without thinking is some and I and other irrelevant big events.” Fat monk senseless throws the paper in hand to the person. “李公子来了啊,喏,碰巧抓到一个无忧府的小卒子。还以为能得到什么有价值的情报,没想到就是些和我等无关的大事件。”肥和尚无趣的将手里的皮纸丢给来人。 This Young Master Li leaves from Border Mountain City, in the region between Central Plain and Northern Land loafed for a long time Li Shunxi. He follows behind, describes the appearance extremely ugly Liu Family sisters impressively. 这李公子正是才从沿山城离开,在中原和北地之间的区域游荡许久了的李顺溪。他身后跟着的,赫然是形容外貌极丑的柳家姐妹。 Terrain between Northern Land and Central Plain is extremely complex, mountain forest prairie forest, having everything expected to find, Li Shunxi is the luck is also good, are on the brink of the hopeless situation several times, meets ghostly thing anomaly and so on, does not depend upon the technique to escape by luck, ran into similarly alone and forsaken Liu Family sisters by chance. 北地和中原之间的地形极其复杂,山林草原森林,应有尽有,李顺溪也是运气好,几次濒临绝境,遇到鬼物怪异之类,不是侥幸依靠自身技艺逃脱,就是碰巧遇到了同样孤苦伶仃的柳家姐妹。 Three people because of common personal enemy Worry Free King, but flows together in the same place, the midway in a ruined temple stays overnight in somebody's home, met at present this corpulent Monk Mang who says Clear Water Grandmaster. 三人因为共同的仇人无忧王,而合流在一起,中途在一处破庙里借宿时,又遇到了眼前这个自称清水大师的肥头大耳莽和尚。 „The Clear Water Grandmaster movement was too quick, if can keep this person of living witness, perhaps we can know the Worry Free King following movement from his mouth.” The Li Shunxi forced smile said. “清水大师动作太快了,若是能留这人一个活口,或许我们能从他口中知晓无忧王接下来的动作。”李顺溪苦笑道。 „We and Worry Free Mansion resist for a long time, should know knows, you and Liu Family daughter honest following monk was good, waits till the place to know. The Worry Free King perverse actions, do too many dishonorable matters, wants to crusade against his has a common goal a generation of quantity to be many.” Fat monk Clear Water Grandmaster said with a smile. “我们和无忧府对抗已久,该知道的都知道,你和柳家小娘子老实跟着和尚就好,等到了地方就知道了。无忧王倒行逆施,做下太多伤天害理之事,想要讨伐他的志同道合之辈数量不少。”肥和尚清水大师笑道。 „Is only our strength is weak, even joins Grandmaster on the side of you, what can also play to affect?” Li Shunxi is helpless. “只是我们力量微弱,就算加入大师你们一边,又能起到什么作用？”李顺溪无奈。 „That is uncertain. The Liu Family daughter trusts you very much something, you have not known now, but later understood slowly.” Clear Water Grandmaster has the profound meaning looks to the Li Shunxi behind Liu Family sisters. “那可不一定。柳家小娘子可是很信任你啊有的东西,你现在还不知道,不过以后就慢慢明白了。”清水大师颇有深意的看向李顺溪身后的柳家姐妹。 Lowering the head of younger sisters in two sisters somewhat blush bashfully, the elder sister is actually cold snort/hum one, as if extremely discontented staring younger sister. 两姐妹中的妹妹有些羞赧的低下头,姐姐却是冷哼一声,似乎极为不满的瞪了眼妹妹。 This girl must be completely muddled by the Li Shunxi fan, how they most precious such thing in the family/home, will branch out half to integrate Li Shunxi within the body. When she discovers, is too late. 要不是这妮子被李顺溪迷得晕头转向,他们怎么会把家里最珍贵的那样东西,分出一半融入李顺溪体内。等她发现时,已经太晚了。 „Good, the Worry Free Mansion expert should quick to pursue. We must rush to the destination.” The fat monk urged. “好了走吧,无忧府的高手应该很快又要追上来了。我们必须赶到目的地。”肥和尚催促道。 „Also good, if can avenge a grievance on the below really one day, must not forget Grandmaster to refer to a group of graciousness today.” Li Shunxi to the Clear Water Grandmaster respectful ritual. “也好,若是在下真有一日能报仇雪恨,必不忘大师今日指路之恩。”李顺溪对着清水大师恭敬一礼。 „Walks walks, do not rub gently!!” Clear Water Grandmaster actually does not take him to salute, after avoiding, lays out the sleeve to walk toward the distant place. “走啦走啦,别磨蹭！！”清水大师却是不接他行礼,避开后摆摆袖子朝远处走去。 Li Shunxi smiles bitterly, then looked toward the Liu Family sisters. 李顺溪苦笑一声,回头朝柳家姐妹看了看。 „Two girls, together?” “两位姑娘,一起吧？” „Em.” Liu Caiyun complied with the sound that hurries to blush bashfully. “恩。”柳彩云赶紧羞赧的应了声。 Liu Qin fire big both hands surround cross Li Shunxi in big strides, pursues toward the fat monk. 柳琴火大的双手环抱大踏步越过李顺溪,朝肥和尚追去。 ******************* ******************* Great Song Tangzong nine years, Northern Land Zhen red chaotic still. Aristocratic Family is void, ghostly thing gradually starts to multiply rampant. 大宋唐宗九年,北地甄红之乱平定。世家空虚,鬼物逐渐开始滋生猖獗。 Did not have divine weapon suppression Northern Land to be incapable of guaranteeing that the trade route usual security, soon had the meaning of decline decline. Massive fur/superficial knowledge special product stack is unable to ship out, the grain enters buys the quantity to fall significantly, entire Northern Land starts to fall into the food crisis gradually. Various kind of life price large scale increases, the common people cross are miserable beyond description. 没有了神兵镇压的北地无力保证商路通常安全,很快有了没落衰退之意。大量皮毛特产堆积无法运出,粮食进购数量大幅度下跌,整个北地渐渐开始陷入粮食危机。各类生活物价大幅度提升,百姓过得苦不堪言。 Border Mountain City, Golden Light Tower. 沿山城,金光塔。 Reaches as high as the nine layers Golden Light Tower top, a Lu Sheng white clothing, the big sleeve is floating, stands looks into the distance on the viewing platform. 高达九层的金光塔顶,路胜一身白衣,大袖飘飘,站在观景台上眺望远方。 Big Border Mountain City gets a panoramic view under this altitude, like a bulk simulation sand table, the red roof occupied most fields of vision, only then a small number of buildings are sudden appearance, many are any high tower tall building, the stele widget. 偌大的沿山城在这个高度下尽收眼底,如同一大块模拟沙盘,大片大片的红色屋顶占据了大部分视野,只有少数建筑物异军突起,多是什么高塔高楼,石碑装饰物等。 „This famine , if not contain, feared that was more and more serious” the Lu Sheng brow was tight, sinking sound said. “这饥荒若是再不加以遏制,怕是越来越严重了”路胜眉头紧蹙,沉声道。 In small hall that he tower withstand/top behind, Hong Mingzi is taking the chopsticks sluggishly is clamping the food on table, chewing carefully one after another. 他身后塔顶的小厅内,洪明资正拿着筷子慢慢吞吞的夹着桌上的菜肴,一口一口的细嚼慢咽。 „Now has presented the refugee, robbing the property event are getting more and more, but this should be the matter that the government authorities yamen is worried about, so long as we complete the official duty on the line.” “现在已经出现流民了,抢夺财物事件越来越多,不过这应该是官府衙门担心的事,我们只要做好本职就行。” Lu Sheng nods, has turned around: „Shangyang Family is not obviously careful to Northern Land, Young Lady Shangyang Jiuli guarding during this period, two months ago Red House retreats now, she and I have not seen surface, is closing up the self-torture completely.” 路胜点头,转过身:“上阳家对北地明显不怎么上心,上阳九礼小姐驻守在此期间,从两个多月前红坊退却到现在,她和我连一次面也没见过,全部在闭关苦修。” He continues saying: „Like this has advantages and disadvantages, the advantage should not be worried to seize power, the fault has anything, only if specially important urgent, otherwise Aristocratic Family expert of guarding and not no difference.” 他继续道:“这样有好有坏,好处是不应担心夺权,坏处就是有什么事,除非特别重要紧急,否则驻守的世家高手和没有没什么区别。” „Isn't this better?” Hong Mingzi along with the tastes, „my Scarlet Whale Gang can definitely monopolize Northern Land.” “这样不是更好？”洪明资随口道,“我赤鲸帮完全可以独占北地。” „Trade route withers, before monopolizing the benefit might as well, there is what using?” Lu Sheng shakes the head. „senior brother you in its, anything did not put down on the contrary.” “商路萎缩,独占利益还不如以前,又有何用？”路胜摇头。“师兄你这是不在其位,反倒什么都放下了。” „Did not put down, but is we true strength falls short now , without Zhen Family such local family to suppress, Shangyang Family can guarantee my Scarlet Whale Gang normal operation at most, ghostly thing strange that but multiplied day by day will actually not act. We after all are the average people, helpless.” Hong Mingzi carried wine glass Qingqing/gently to sip the mouth. “不是放下了,而是我们现在确实力有不逮,没了甄家那样的本土家族镇压,上阳家顶多能保证我赤鲸帮正常运转,但日益滋生的鬼物怪事却不会出手。我们终归是普通人,无能为力。”洪明资端起酒杯轻轻抿了口。 „Yes Shangyang Family is only Central Plain Aristocratic Family Lu Sheng nods eventually”. After Red House retreats, House Lord has not turned over, he in the Northern Land biggest opponent, then only then umbrella female. “是啊上阳家终究只是中原世家”路胜点头。红坊退却后,坊主迟迟未归,他在北地最大的对手,便只有伞女。 A month ago goes to Red House one after Shangyang Jiuli, he also looks for the Zhuo Wenyu contact to collect the Yin Qi goods again, but the opposite party disappeared probably generally, obviously was discovered by Red House either, either was he is different from once, the position and sensitometry were too high, Zhuo Wenyu gave up. 一个月前从上阳九礼前往红坊一趟后,他也再度找过卓文宇联络搜集阴气物品,可对方像是消失了一般,显然要么是被红坊发现,要么是他本身不同于曾经,身份地位和曝光度都太高,卓文宇放弃了。 That small cauldron also such drops down in Lu Sheng, he studied one, no discovery, then loses in the camera does not go to the manages. 那小鼎也就这样一直落在路胜手里,他研究了一阵,没什么发现,便丢在暗箱里不去管。 Then, the origin of Yin Qi broke. 只是如此一来,阴气的来源就断了。 „Right Senior Brother, I want you thing that helps look, had the clue?” Lu Sheng asked suddenly. “对了师兄,我要您帮忙找的东西,有线索了吗？”路胜忽然问。 „Collection antique found several homes actually, but before you have seen similar. I feared that you could not find to like.” Hong Mingzi shakes the head to say. “搜集古董啊倒是又找到几家,不过都和你之前去见过的差不多。我怕你还是找不到喜欢的。”洪明资摇头道。 To the outside what Lu Sheng declared was likes the antique collection, before also held a connoisseurship meeting, as before no discovery. 路胜对外宣称的是自己喜欢古董收藏,之前还举行了一次鉴赏会,依旧没什么发现。 „Truly” he also felt such casting a net -type chaotic looks, the efficiency is too low. “确实”他也感觉这样撒网式的乱找,效率太低。 „Report!” Suddenly the staircase passing in and out place, a vigor installs gang members to spin to knee down. “报！”忽然楼梯进出处,一劲装帮众疾奔上来单膝跪地。 „reporting Gang Lord, the Xiao Hongye Landlord Xiao banquet, sends in the written invitation.” “启禀帮主,萧红叶萧员外酒宴,发来请帖。” „Xiao Hongye?” Lu Sheng only god. “萧红叶？”路胜唯一愣神。 This Worry Free Mansion majordomo, braves to do what banquet suddenly, does not know that wants to make anything. 这位无忧府的大管家,突然冒出来搞什么酒宴,也不知又想做什么。 „Written invitation brings.” His light say/way. “请帖拿来。”他淡淡道。 That gang members goes forward immediately respectfully, gives Lu Sheng the written invitation. 那帮众马上恭敬上前,将请帖递给路胜。 Above received the post, Lu Sheng Qingqing/gently opens, saw only approximate wrote some settlements. Refers to the important matter inviting him to consult. 接过帖子,路胜轻轻翻开,只见上面大约的写了一些相关内容。是指要事邀请他相商。 Closes the post, he hesitated under. 合上帖子,他沉吟了下。 „Tonight I then see this person. Worry Free Mansion, influence of between this situated in Aristocratic Family ghostly thing and mortal, seems quite mysterious. Before this, is the small meeting that to speak frankly something consults, this banquet first time, must have a look at this Xiao Hongye steward to have what intention actually.” “今夜我便去见见此人。无忧府,这个介于世家鬼物和凡人之间的势力,显得颇为神秘。这之前都是直言有事相商的小会,这酒宴还是第一次,倒是要看看这位萧红叶管家有什么意图。” He wields Scarlet Whale Gang now, the authority is large, often can also with Daoist Bai Feng, and Xiao Hongye contact discussed, some tough troubles were determined by their three people with joint forces. This is the so-called small meeting. 他现在执掌赤鲸帮,权柄颇大,不时也会和白风道人,以及萧红叶接触商谈,一些棘手的麻烦都是由他们三人合力确定。这便是所谓的小会。 „Junior Brother knows fairly well well then.” Hong Mingzi nods. “师弟心中有数便好。”洪明资点头。 Lu Sheng nods. 路胜点头。 Two people rested in the tower top, Lu Sheng processed under the related help/gang service, soon when high noon, then rode in a carriage to hurry to toward the family/home. 两人在塔顶休憩了一阵,路胜又处理了下相关的帮务,快要正午时,便乘车朝着家中赶去。 Scorching sun overhead, the weather has entered the burning hot season thoroughly. 烈日当空,天气已经彻底进入炎热季节。 Lu Family also stands firm in Border Mountain City, after Lu Quan'an obeys the Lu Sheng advice, stored up many grain, at this time poured first pot of gold/metal that reconstructed the family property, taking advantage of this money, opened many shop fronts, did the medicinal herb business directly. 路家在沿山城也站稳脚跟,路全安听从路胜建议后,囤积了不少粮食,此时倒成了重建家业的第一桶金,借着这一大笔钱,又开了不少店面,直接干起了药材生意。 The Northern Land just right many medicinal herb cargo stores up, can transport is extremely few, price plummet, then by Lu Family massive purchases. But Scarlet Whale Gang needs the medicinal herb gap to be very big, Lu Sheng then shared benefit in secret slightly some business to Lu Family, is the development is good. 北地正好不少药材货物囤积,能运出去的都是极少,价格暴跌,便被路家大量收购。而赤鲸帮需要药材缺口很大,路胜便暗中稍微分润了些生意给路家,算是发展不错。 Lu Sheng is riding the carriage marched forward after the city, quickly returns to Lu Residence. 路胜乘着马车在城中行进了一阵后,很快回到路府。 Immediately then has the young male servant to go forward to greet. 马上便有小厮上前迎接。 „Great Young Master came back!” “大公子回来了啊！” „Head of household?” Lu Sheng gets out to speak thoughtlessly to ask. “家主呢？”路胜下车随口问道。
