Weifang City and Xuanjing are different, wants to be smaller compared with Xuanjing, or the entire Jin Prefecture city, be smaller than Tai Prefecture. 卫芳城和宣景不同,比起宣景还要小许多,或者说整个锦州的城池,都要比泰州小。 But the Jin Prefecture layout, is small, and is crowded. 但锦州的布局,是小,且密集。 The different cities, the characteristics commodity is different, therefore facilitates the external businessmen to choose the different cities to start to stock with goods. 不同城池,特色商品不同,所以方便外来商贾们选择不同城池入手进货。 Wei He leaves the dwelling, now he uses an alias Chen Wei. 魏合离开宅院,如今他化名陈魏。 Because of present Great Yuan, Chen is the common surname, enters the palace to be not infrequent for the person of officer, therefore the status of this surname camouflage retiring military commander is easy. 因为如今的大元,陈姓是大姓,入朝为官之人不在少数,所以这个姓氏伪装退隐武将的身份最是容易。 To the main house gate, he walked slowly on the street in a business area, looks at the strange lively street. 离了家门,他慢慢走在街面上,看着陌生的热闹街道。 Could not see completely now the chaos caused by war flutters about, feeling of foreign invasion. 完全看不出如今战乱纷飞,外敌入侵的感觉。 These things as if leave here common people is very far. 那些东西似乎离这里的百姓还很远。 They still on face warm was calling oneself commodity, the children are playing the game around the circle, plays various roles. 他们依然脸上热情的吆喝着自己的商品,小孩们绕着圈玩着游戏,扮演各种角色。 The madame girls linger in various face powder shop cloth shops, with jewelry shop. 夫人女孩们则流连于各种香粉店布店,和首饰店。 Jin Prefecture compared with Tai Prefecture, martial artist on street was short, the businessmen and civilians were many. 锦州比起泰州,街上的武者少了许多,商贾和平民则多了许多。 martial artist are few, represents here Martial Dao level is not high. 武者少,代表这里的武道水平不高。 Wei He is walking, unconscious stopping before a dojo gate that has the shop. 魏合走着走着,不知不觉的停在一家有门店的武馆门前。 The dojo entrance is setting up the wooden sign, above writes the condition of basic learn/study, as well as in hall the strength of teacher. 武馆门口立着木牌,上边写着入门学习的条件,以及馆内教习的实力。 Dojo named White Pine Fist Hall, Hall Lord Xu Chang is Martial Master cultivation base, above writes, that person strength extremely high, had killed a squad robber in the Azure Sect two years in wilderness, he personally beat to death a man-eating black bear and so on. 武馆名为苍松拳馆,馆主许昌是武师修为,上面写着,其人实力高绝,曾经于青宗二年在野外击毙过一小队劫匪,亲手打死过食人黑熊等等。 „Can study the fist? The school expense has preferential cheaply, now is happen to discounting.” “请问要学拳么？学费便宜有优惠,正好现在正在打折。” In the dojo, some people see Wei He to stop before the wooden sign, immediately to warm greeting. 武馆内,有人看到魏合停在木牌前,顿时冲出来热情招呼。 „Not. Has a look.” Wei He shakes the head, feels somewhat inexplicably, in this Jin Prefecture, even fist hall also becomes seems like the businessman to be the same, needs to operate to cruise. “不了。只是看看。”魏合摇头,感觉有些莫名,在这锦州,连拳馆也变得像是商贾一般,需要经营揽客了。 He leaves White Pine Fist Hall, toward the place that Jiu Ying lives. 他离开苍松拳馆,一路朝着九影住的地方去。 Initially for house that Jiu Ying bought, was not far from them. 当初给九影买的房子,距离他们不远。 Since previous time for treating plague, although Jiu Ying diligently plague control in a small range, but other distant places is incapable of preventing as before, but also therefore lost oneself too many Essence, Qi, and Spirit. 自从上次治疗瘟疫后,九影虽然努力将瘟疫控制在了一个小范围内,但其余远处的依旧无力阻止,还因此损耗了自己太多精气神。 Wei He turns a relatively lonely lane, receives the train of thought. 魏合拐进一条相对冷清的巷子,收起思绪。 Is waiting for several after child who plays the bamboo ball runs, goes forward, before arriving at the Jiu Ying house gate, knocks on a door gently. 等着几个玩竹球的孩童跑过后,才上前,来到九影宅子门前,轻轻敲了敲门。 Some copper collar years in gate, touched smoothly such as new, are not known many hand has traced. 门上的铜环有些年份了,摸起来光滑如新,被不知道多少只手摸过。 Wei He remembers, before this house, is a personal connection quite a lot small-scale merchant housing, now looks like, this personal connection quite a lot, is actually not false. 魏合想起,这家宅子之前,是一个人脉颇多的小商人居住,如今看来,这人脉颇多,倒是一点也不假。 Thump thump thump. 咚咚咚。 He knocks on a door again. 他再度敲了敲门。 Woof woof! 汪汪！ In the gate transmits a resounding dog to call. 门内传来一阵响亮的狗叫。 „Came!” The Jiu Ying apprentice Yuanbao sound conveys. “来了！”九影徒弟元宝的声音传来。 Quick, the wooden door turns on, revealed Yuanbao in a big way already half a board inch scalp. 很快,木门打开,露出元宝已经半大了的板寸头皮。 This boy more than one meter are high, but the beforehand chubby appearance did not have. 这小子已经一米多高了,但之前的胖乎乎模样却是没了。 After the plague gets sick greatly one, he by Jiu Ying forcefully is also saved. 经过瘟疫大病一场后,他也被九影硬生生救了过来。 Initially Jiu Ying grabbed the hand of Wei He to start to hold this solitary one, never expected that he himself supported by hard and stubborn effort actually. 当初九影都抓着魏合的手开始托孤了,没想到他自己倒是又硬撑了过来。 „Is Uncle Wei! Come in quickly!” Yuanbao was thinner, sees Wei He, lets the Opening Body position hastily, making Wei He pass through the gate. “是魏叔！快请进！”元宝瘦了许多,看到魏合,连忙让开身位,让魏合进门。 „Uncle Jiu?” Wei He asked, enters courtyard, sees in courtyard the famous longhaired attractive young girl, in the hand takes the bamboo slip books, somewhat cautious standing near stone bench. “九叔呢？”魏合问,走进院子,看到院子里有名长发披肩的漂亮少女,手里拿着竹简书册,有些拘谨的站在石凳边。 Near on stone bench stone table, but also suspended many yellow paper and charcoal pencils. The charcoal pencils have two charcoal pencils, on the yellow paper also had to write half of handwriting. 石凳边的石桌上,还摆了不少黄纸和炭笔。炭笔有两副炭笔,黄纸上还有写了一半的字迹。 „This is Miss Lin of next door, comes to practice writing with me.” Yuanbao hurries to explain. “这是隔壁的林姑娘,和我一起过来习字的。”元宝赶紧解释。 „Lin’er, this is my Uncle Wei, is the Uncle Jiu best friend, you called him Uncle Wei to be good.” “琳儿,这是我魏叔,是九叔的至交好友,你叫他魏叔就好了。” „Un. Uncle Wei is good.” That Miss Lin hurries cleverly bows to give regards. “嗯。魏叔叔好。”那林姑娘赶紧乖巧的屈膝问好一声。 That person clear vision white teeth, is fair-skinned, the small age is then thin like the wicker. 其人明目皓齿,皮肤白皙,小小年纪便如柳条般清瘦淡雅。 Except for thin, the look can look, in the future must be the beautiful woman embryo. 除了瘦了点,相貌能看出来,未来必是个美人胚子。 Wei He has doubts actually slightly, such small age, the family member will feel relieved, making it arrive in next door two man home alone study the character? 魏合倒是微微疑惑,这么小的年纪,家里人怎么会放心,让其独自到隔壁两个爷们家里学字？ However looked that Miss Lin lowers the head the appearance that blushes bashfully, it is estimated that also has the reason. 不过看那林姑娘低头羞赧的样子,估计也是另有缘由。 He no longer investigates carefully, enters the inside room. 他不再细究,走进里屋。 In the room lights a lamp in broad daylight. 屋子里大白天点了灯。 Jiu Ying squats on the bench, in the hand is pinching the pole tobacco smoked dry, is not pulling out. 九影蹲在长椅上,手里捏着杆旱烟,有一口没一口的抽着。 Sees Wei He to pass through the gate, he also puts down tobacco stick. 看到魏合进门,他也放下烟杆。 „Is your busy person, all right to run to come to see my bad old man to do?” “你个大忙人,没事跑来看我这个糟老头子干啥？” „Plays chess.” Wei He said with a smile. “下棋啊。”魏合笑道。 „Hehe, plays chess with you, absolutely does not have the meaning. Won lost did not have the meaning.” Jiu Ying carries nearby teacup, drinks water to moisten the throat. “呵呵,下棋和你下,完全没意思。赢了输了都没意思。”九影端起一旁茶杯,喝了口水润润喉咙。 „Good, is heard that your body quickly is not also good, has a look.” The Wei He truth said. “好吧,就是听说你身体又快不行了,过来看看。”魏合实话道。 „This time is really not possibly good.” Jiu Ying does not care, „was lucky finally for these years had you to support in behind, law of life. Otherwise the plague that cannot support time.” “这次可能是真不行了。”九影也不在意,“多亏了最后这几年有你在后面撑着,生活规律起来。不然瘟疫那一次就撑不过。” „You were also in any case about to walk, said that had what wish to complete, I wanted in the area of competence to help your.” Wei He earnest say/way. “反正你也快走了,说吧,有什么心愿要完成的,我要能力范围内就帮你一把。”魏合认真道。 „Does not have the wish. This year has Yuanbao, other saw through.” Jiu Ying patted clapping, a stout and strong big yellow dog to/clashes from the room corner, runs up to near his foot, the specific use rubbed his calf. “没心愿。这年头有元宝在,其他都看开了。”九影拍了拍手,一条肥壮的大黄狗从屋子一角冲出来,跑到他脚边,用头蹭了蹭他小腿。 „Actually you.” Jiu Ying raised the head saying that „my old person is dying in any case, other did not matter. But, do not think that now this is even safe. The world of big struggle, no one can being neutral and staying out of trouble.” “倒是你。”九影抬头道,“我老人家反正快死了,其他都无所谓了。但你,别以为现在这样就算安全了。大争之世,没人能独善其身。” „What message did you receive?” Wei He stares. “你收到什么消息了？”魏合一愣。 A Jiu Ying orphans and widows old man, what message but can also receive? 九影一个孤寡老头,还能收到什么消息？ „Yi Pefecture Kong’an, was massacred city.” Jiu Ying tranquil say/way. “宜州孔安,被屠城了。”九影平静道。 „Massacres city?” Wei He stares, immediately is silent. “屠城？”魏合一愣,随即沉默下来。 Although since the war starts, he has then thought that may present this and other cruel tragedies, but when the fact happened truly, he feels a heading on situation constriction, almost presses the person not to gasp for breath. 虽然自从战争开启后,他便有想过,可能会出现这等残忍惨剧,但当事实真正发生,他才感觉一种扑面而来的大势压迫感,几乎压得人喘不过气。 „Is news true?” Wei He asked. “消息属实？”魏合问。 „Here it is estimated that tomorrow can pass. I have the special news channel, therefore knew ahead of time.” Jiu Ying tranquil say/way. “估计明天就能传到这边来。我有特殊的消息渠道,所以提前得知。”九影平静道。 „......” Wei He had nothing to say in reply. He believes that Jiu Ying should never play this grade of joke. “......”魏合无言以对。他相信九影不会也没必要开这等玩笑。 „Massacring city, is Wu Country Great General Tang Yan.” Jiu Ying continues saying that „you think, if some day, you also face are massacred city, how by that time should from the place?” “屠城者,是吴国大将唐彦。”九影继续道,“你想想,若有朝一日,你也面临被屠城,到那时该如何自处？” „What do you want to say?” Wei He asked back. “你想说什么？”魏合反问。 „I want to say that has the opportunity, should not be lax, when do not arrive needs the strength, awakens the regret.” “我只是想说,有机会,不要松懈,不要到需要实力时,才醒悟后悔。” „I knew.” “我晓得。” In perhaps the Wei He heart has actually had the suspicion, Jiu Ying is giving some underground organization to provide the commodity and medicine in secret, otherwise is unable to explain him to have such quick news channel. 魏合其实一直心中有怀疑,九影或许暗中在给某个地下组织提供物资和药物,否则无法解释他有这么灵通的消息渠道。 Moreover, before various medicine toxicants of experimental, spending rate some were also too big. 而且,之前实验用的各种药物毒药,消耗速度也有些太大了点。 However something, looked that is Jiu Ying helps one another to obtain in Silk Strength and Bright Moon, Great Whale Painting clue, Rectifying Law Art is also he helps improve, Wei He also turns a blind eye. 不过有些事,看在蚕丝劲和明月长鲸图的线索都是九影相助得到的,还有正法决也是他帮忙完善,魏合也就睁一只眼闭一只眼。 „Moreover, a matter .... This thing...” Jiu Ying touched from the bosom, slowly puts out the wooden inked ribbon to have the token of blood-color handwriting together. Above writes one in a big way ‚helping’ character. “另外,还有一件事....这个东西...”九影从怀里摸了摸,慢慢拿出一块木色带有血色字迹的令牌。上边写着一个大大的‘助’字。 „Looks in my share, I hope that you can taking the person of this sign, are lending a hand to assist one time. In situation in one's power.” Jiu Ying said solemnly. “看在我的份上,我希望你能对拿着这个牌子的人,出手相助一次。在力所能及的情况下。”九影沉声道。 „...... ” Wei He nods. Received the sign. “......可以。”魏合点头。接过牌子。 „Ok, I felt at ease.” Jiu Ying let out a long breath, can look, to open this mouth, he fermented very long mood. “好了,那我就安心了。”九影长舒一口气,看得出来,为了开这个口,他酝酿了很久的情绪。 „Outside room that girl?” Wei He asked the sentence while convenient. “屋子外那个女孩？”魏合顺带问了句。 „Next door has the child who prostitute gives birth, does not know that who the father is, mother died of illness a while ago. Remains her one, I then receive her to get down to Yuanbao keep company. Also is the child of cruel fate.” Jiu Ying sighed. “隔壁有个妓子生下的孩子,不知道爹是谁,娘前阵子病死了。就剩她一个,我便收她下来给元宝做个伴。也是个苦命的孩子。”九影叹道。 „I then first walked.” Wei He nods, so long as well-born is good. “那我便先走了。”魏合点头,只要身家清白就好。 „Is interested in receiving Yuanbao and that girl for the disciple?” Jiu Ying said suddenly, „that girl, but perception good person.” “有没有兴趣收元宝和那女娃为徒？”九影忽然道,“那女娃可是悟性奇佳之人。” „? Is the perception good?” Wei He came the interest immediately, „fierce?” “哦？悟性奇佳？”魏合顿时来了兴趣,“有多厉害？” „root bone just middle-low, but the perception is seriously fierce, I was teaching that it studies the character and practicing martial art, if you are interested, can watch in the one side.” Jiu Ying said with a smile. “根骨只是中下,但悟性当真厉害,我正在教导其学字和习武,若你有兴趣,可以在一旁观看。”九影笑道。 „Ok, the person of perception high root bone difference, I also sees are too many. Amn't your I this kind?” The Wei He smile said. “算了,悟性高根骨差之人,我也见过太多。你我不也是这类？”魏合微笑道。 „If higher than your me?” Jiu Ying said with a smile, „Martial Master following Martial Arts, saw then the meeting, did a saying understand?” “若是比你我还要高呢？”九影笑道,“武师以下武学,一见便会,一说就懂呢？” „......” The smile on Wei He face stiffened immediately. The girl he just saw, most over is not 11 or 12-year-old, this age..., if can achieve the degree that Jiu Ying said. “......”魏合脸上的笑容顿时僵住了。那女孩他刚刚看到了,最多不超过十一二岁,这个年纪...若是能做到九影所说的程度。 That seriously was serious. 那就当真不得了了。 He is staring at the eyes of Jiu Ying carefully, although cannot see anything, but always felt, he that girl stopper to oneself hanger-on, as if has other attempt. 他仔细凝视着九影的双眼,虽然看不出什么,但总感觉,他把那女孩塞到自己门下,似乎有另外的企图。 „Jiu Ying, do not do the unnecessary matter.” Wei He said in a soft voice. “九影,别做多余的事。”魏合轻声道。 „Did you fear?” Jiu Ying said with a smile. “你怕了？”九影笑道。 „Naturally.” Wei He said naturally, „I feared in the future I will clean up the gateway personally.” “当然。”魏合理所当然道,“我怕日后我会亲手清理门户。” „Did you have style of one generation of experts? Said that fears feared, my Jiu Ying lived the most lifetime, sees the expert who you so do not care about the face for the first time.” Jiu Ying is speechless. “你还有没有一代高手的风范了？说怕就怕,我九影活了大半辈子,还是第一次见你这般不在乎脸面的高手。”九影无语。 „Therefore, told me your true intention.” Wei He said. “所以,告诉我你真正的意图。”魏合道。 „Also can have what intention. Miss Lin is young, the later matter, later said that since you do not want, that then gave up.” Jiu Ying shakes the head. “还能有什么意图。林姑娘年纪还小,以后的事,以后再说,既然你不愿意,那便作罢好了。”九影摇头。 „Good.” Wei He does not want to involve. “好吧。”魏合也不欲多涉及其中。 That Lin Lin mother is prostitute, father to become puzzle, it seems like troublesome on his father. 那林琳母亲是妓子,父亲成谜,看来麻烦就是在其父身上。 It is estimated that will also involve the Jiu Ying back organization. 估计也是会牵扯到九影背后的组织。 Wei He no longer thinks, turns around to leave the inside room, when passed by courtyard, sees Yuanbao and that Lin Lin by the same place, the careful study character practices calligraphy, does not seem to hear him to leave the sound that. 魏合不再多想,转身离开里屋,路过院子时,看到元宝和那林琳挨在一起,正仔仔细细的学字练字,似乎没听到他离开的声音。 He no longer pays attention, had/left courtyard with stride, closes the front gate gently, swaggers away. 他不再关注,大步出了院子,轻轻关上院门,扬长而去。 Comes out from the Jiu Ying house, Wei He directly soars White Pine Trading Company. 从九影宅子出来,魏合直奔白松商行。 trading company in Weifang City is medium, the boss has a quite fierce name, called Xiao Jingyun, the name imposing manner was extremely strong, but the manner was quite genial, the person and formed the striking contrast. 商行在卫芳城算是规模中等,老板有一个相当厉害的名字,叫肖惊云,名字气势极强,但为人却相当和善,人和名形成鲜明对比。 When Wei He arrives in trading company, Xiao Jingyun has waited before the gate. 魏合抵达商行时,肖惊云已经在门前等候了。 Wei He as its true big customer, naturally treats by most high grade formality. 魏合作为其真正的大主顾,自然是以最上等礼节对待。 Xiao Jingyun this person, the body eurysome is fat, wears the vice- round eyeglasses, lets the makings is smooth gentle, the body always wears the fat spacious surcoat, no matter what whose first meeting, will unable to bear to its has friendly. 肖惊云此人,身宽体胖,戴着副圆眼镜,让气质更是圆滑柔和,身上总是穿着肥肥的宽敞员外袍,任谁第一次见面,都会忍不住对其心生和气。 „For a long time does not see, Old Master Chen has been well since last meeting.” Xiao Jingyun holds the fist in the other hand to give regards. “好久不见,陈老爷别来无恙啊。”肖惊云抱拳问好道。 „Fortunately fortunately, having any good thing to hurry to assume is. Money will not be short of you.” Wei He is not estranged, with the Xiao Jingyun same place, enters trading company. “还好还好,有什么好东西赶紧呈上来就是。钱不会少了你。”魏合也不生分,跟着肖惊云一起,走进商行。 Under two people lead in a maidservant, entered small office. 两人在一名侍女带领下,进了一间小厅。 Xiao Jingyun cautious arrives at the small office corner, with key that the body wears, opened a heavy big metal box, then from the box, takes out several scroll paintings. 肖惊云小心翼翼的走到小厅角落,用身上佩戴的钥匙,开了一个沉重的大金属箱子,然后从箱子里,取出数个画轴。 „Comes, previous Old Master Chen makes me help pay attention to this ancient painting, is the scenery scenery ancient painting, I then careful looking. You have a look, this is the ancient painting that this goods can take.” “来来来,上次陈老爷让我帮着留意这古画,还是风景山水古画,我便仔细的找了找。您看看,这是这次货品可以拿到手的古画。” He launches the scroll paintings, inside are drawing abreast in row various sample schematic diagrams. 他将画轴展开,里面是一幅幅并排画着的各种样品草图。
