Chapter 141 Tianshui Lane, Kushui Shop

Rivers and lakes, temples.

People are always used to talking about these two places separately, but in fact they are connected together, or the temples are also rivers and lakes.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

In today's world, there are two major forces that have to be mentioned.

The golden wind blows and drizzles, and the rivers and lakes are six and a half minutes old.

The former is about the largest gang that dominates Beijing, dominates the martial arts world, is proud of the world, and is also the leader of the white power in the world, Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower; the latter is the overlord of the underworld, with green forests, officials, and businessmen all having manpower.

, all have ears and eyes, and their influence can be said to be spread all over the world. Three religions and nine streams are included in it. This is the unparalleled Six-and-a-half Church.

The former's surname is "Su", which refers to Su Mengzhen, the "red sleeve sword"; the latter's surname is "Lei", which refers to Lei's loss.

In fact, earlier, there was originally a powerful force occupying the capital, the "Misty Sky Alliance"; the "Seven Holy Lords" Guan Qi even dominated the world, giving orders to the black and white; however, they were eroded by Su and Lei.

Today it has disappeared and disappeared.

Today, there are only two of them in the capital.

Most of the martial arts masters who come to Beijing are recruited by these two families. Various sects and forces from all over the world are mostly attached to these two families. They confront each other, stalemate, fight, circle, and fight openly and secretly. The seemingly prosperous Beijing has hidden secrets.

The place has long been filled with murderous plots and bloodshed.

In addition to these two families, there are also several non-trivial forces in Beijing, which involve the temple dispute.

One is the "Shenhou Mansion" founded by Zhuge Zhengwo, the great master of the dynasty. It is precisely because of the existence of such a person that no matter how powerful the Su and Lei families are, they will always be afraid of being too presumptuous.

The other one is Cai Jing, the "powerful prime minister" who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

This person, the masters of the Ministry of Punishment want to please him, the six gates also want to please him, and the most terrifying master in today's martial arts is also a guest in his palace, as well as the officials of the capital, big and small, all have to look at this man's eyes and act, it is terrible.

The Su and Lei families fought openly and secretly, and Zhuge Zhengwo and Cai Xiang were also incompatible. Each wanted to overthrow the other and make the other doomed.

The remaining ones who have names and surnames and are relatively peaceful include the "Youqiao Group" headed by "Shentong Hou" Fang Yingkan, and the "Dream Party" composed of knights and heroes in the capital...

These forces, large and small, are all entrenched in the capital, fighting for survival at the feet of the emperor, planning step by step, and fighting inextricably.

In this way, the world's most terrifying dragon pool and tiger's den are created, as well as the most thrilling and tragic Jianghu.

…

Sweetwater Lane.

On this day, it rained lightly in the capital.

Chen Zhuo was wrapped in a white and old green robe, with only a length of gray rope tied up his long hair behind his back. His face was pale, and he was carrying a bamboo basket on his back, doing face-changing tricks in order to earn some money for drinks and meals.

Everyone knows that this place is famous for its Yanliu Alley, Goulan Houses, brothels, and casinos. It is a place for entertainment, and it is probably easy to make some money.

The green windows on both sides were half-opened, misty and hazy, and many pretty girls poked their heads in to take a look from time to time. They were so curious; they were so happy that they threw a few scattered rewards from upstairs and fell into his back.

, making a series of crisp noises, or making some teasing remarks.

He already knows what kind of world he has entered, but he is not in a hurry to become famous or become famous.

For him, the normalcy of life is mostly ordinary, and leisure days are what most people should live; besides, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the capital, so he has to be careful, otherwise he may not be spotted by someone inadvertently.

There is another reason. He always feels that the people in this place are rejecting him... Or maybe, he is rejecting these people... He has to find a way to blend in, blend into this era, adapt, and resonate. He has to slow down first.

The straw sandals stepped on the bluestone covered with wet marks. The smooth stone surface was filled with a layer of blurred water, reflecting a corner of the light blue clothes, fluttering like clouds.

As he was walking, two tall men in well-dressed clothes suddenly stood in front of him and raised their hands to block the way, "My master, please come upstairs and talk to me. I hope you will be honored!"

After that, regardless of whether Chen Zhuo wanted to or not, he made a gesture of invitation.

In the spring rain, he looked in the direction indicated by the two men and saw a white-faced old man by the window on the second floor of a restaurant not far away, raising a glass to him with a smile.

It was actually Tong Guan.

This man went south to fight against Fangla and moved to Taishi.

As one of the "six thieves" who followed "Cai Jing"'s lead and had military power, such power was rare in the world, and he would actually invite a small person like him to drink.

"Little brother, do you still know me?"

After doing the math, it was already two or three months ago when the two of them first met in Laomiao, and they didn't expect to see each other again in Beijing.

Although this man is a eunuch, his voice is not thin, his speech and behavior are also heroic, and he drinks wine and eats meat, showing the elegance of a man in the army.

"I recognize it."

Counting the time, the Jin army has broken through Zhongjing, Emperor Tianzuo has fled to the west, and above the court, it is time for the Northern Expedition to destroy the Liao Dynasty...

Tong Guan drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. He was dressed in a simple black robe, and his face became even paler.

He carefully looked at Chen Zhuo in front of him. He clearly looked at Chen Zhuo, who was no more than ten years old. He was extremely young, but his eyes seemed to be full of human feelings and sophistication.

"If I hadn't passed by Tianshui Lane and felt that the little brother looked familiar, I would have missed it."

Seeing that Chen Zhuo was covered in raindrops and his clothes were a little shabby, Tong Guan pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "You want to become famous?"

Chen Zhuo shook his head, "I don't want to, at least not right now."

There is something interesting about this, as if he wants to become famous, he will become famous all over the world.

Tong Guan smiled and said: "Interesting, it seems you are very confident in yourself."

He glanced outside the window again and sighed: "However, it is not easy to get ahead in this capital city. Dragons and tigers are in the same position, each is their own master, and they check and balance each other. One mistake will lead to an irreversible end. It is really like walking on thin ice... But in the capital city

It’s different outside.”

Tong Guan suddenly changed the topic. While holding a cup and drinking slowly, he played with the wine cup and said with a sly smile: "With your archery skills alone, if you are on the battlefield, it is not difficult to achieve success."

Chen Zhuo already understood this man's intentions and wanted to recruit him.

"I want to study!"

Tong Guan was stunned when he heard this, but it seems to be true. It is difficult for a martial artist to get ahead, especially these days. It is extremely difficult, but it is also true to want to study.

The swelling on his face has long gone away, his long beard is neatly trimmed, and the corners of his narrow eyes are like upturned willow leaves with many fine lines. At first glance, he looks kind and friendly like a rich man, but there is a sense of high status in his gestures.

The habit he has developed is to shrug his shoulders and shrink his head, like a squatting black-feathered vulture, with a sickly look between his eyebrows and a sinister air.

Chen Zhuo thought about it very seriously and then said: "I want to read many books, including Taoist scriptures, Buddhist scriptures, Spring and Autumn principles, ancient poems and ancient books, and wonderful principles of medicine. I want to read them all."

Tong Guan's eyes widened, and then he narrowed his eyes suddenly, "You want to understand hundreds of schools of thought? What a great ambition."

But he suddenly laughed again, raised his index finger and circled it in the air, and said with a playful smile: "However, I think you may not have any leisure time. As long as you sit with me and drink this glass of wine, you will not leave."

In half an hour, all the big and small forces in this capital will probably find you and target you."

Chen Zhuo looked as usual, took the wine, smiled slightly and said: "If you find me, then I will have to make a name for myself in the capital."

Tong Guan clicked his tongue in surprise and looked Chen Zhuo up and down again, "Okay, speaking of which, little brother, you already know my name, but I still don't know yours?"

Chen Zhuo said: "Chen Zhuo!"

Tong Guan nodded, stroking his hands and smiling, "In that case, I will give you a room full of books, how about it?"

Chen Zhuo's eyes lit up, "Thank you very much!"

The rain outside the building is getting heavier.

Looking at Tong Guan leaving in the sedan chair, Chen Zhuo took out a rain hat from his backpack, followed him downstairs, and quickly got into the rain.

Because in addition to doing magic tricks, he also had to work as a doctor at Huichun Hall, setting bones and performing acupuncture on people, and he could also earn some money. He was really very poor.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and pedestrians were running around in the street. Chen Zhuo was walking among them, hurrying and slowly. When he reached the "Kushui Shop", he suddenly heard someone calling him happily.

"Brother Chen!"

Chen Zhuo turned his neck and looked around. In a messy and dilapidated ruins, two people were standing in embarrassment under the eaves to avoid the rain. It was raining heavily, and the heavy raindrops were dyed like mud soup by the gray and yellow sky, crackling.

It fell on the grass shed and splashed into small pits on the muddy ground.

The surrounding area is overgrown with weeds and full of rotten wood and bricks.

Chen Zhuo stepped on a few bluestone slabs embedded in the mud and walked towards the two of them.

The two of them protected the calligraphy and painting in their arms, their bodies covered with water stains, and their wry smiles concealed their desolation and loss.

The man who called him was a young man, young and handsome, with bright eyes and a pair of extremely clear eyes, like a child who had not grown up, showing two rows of white teeth, wiping the water drops on his hair, and smiling happily

.

This person is also the pharmacist who treats diseases at "Huichun Tang". His surname is Wang, Wang Xiaoshi.

This man entered Beijing earlier than him and was poorer than him. Perhaps he felt that he was in the same boat, so he naturally became familiar with him.

The other one, with a handsome appearance and tall figure, stood facing the wind. He was dressed in a brocade white robe, but there was a sharp coldness between his eyebrows. He was unsmiling, but Chen Zhuo also knew him and had seen him twice.

This person's name is Bai Choufei.

One of them works at a drug store to get medicine for others, and the other sells calligraphy and painting. One is poorer than the other.

As soon as Chen Zhuofu came in, four more people emerged from the gray rain, walking in a hurry, two came in to take shelter from the rain, and two stayed outside.

One of them coughed violently, choking and coughing, his shoulders trembled violently, he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed until his heart was broken, his heart was torn, his five senses seemed to be squeezed together, and his straight back was bent, and he was in extreme pain.

The handkerchief this man took off was a shocking mass of blood.

Chen Zhuo suddenly sighed, as if he had sensed something invisibly, he clenched the corner of his clothes and wiped out the water stains. It seemed that he no longer had to wait for others to come find him.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, the murderous intention is coming!!!
