Me and my Jianghu Tavern

Su Tan shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Please." Zhang Ming put the wine in front of Su Tan.

Su Tan nodded, picked up the wine glass, and drank it down.

"The shopkeeper has been talking too much recently." Su Tan said.

Zhang Ming nodded and said, "Yes."

"how?"

"It's nothing, I just want to talk more with the drinkers."

"The tavern is too remote, and it is understandable for the shopkeeper to find it boring."

"It's not boring."

Su Tan was puzzled and asked, "Why is that?"

Zhang Ming didn't answer, just shook his head and smiled, "Let's have a drink."

He just wanted to be a shopkeeper in the last few days.Talk to the drinkers more.

Maybe in the future, he won't be here often.

The shopkeeper of the tavern will still be him, but the person guarding the tavern is not him, and maybe the door of the tavern will not be opened for a long time.

Chapter 279: Northern Desert Invasion

Days and 23 years.

There was another war at the border of Beimo, and the Beimo, which had been dormant for several years, broke out again. However, within a few days, food and grass at the border was in a hurry, the court was furious, Liangzhou sent troops to reinforce, but the tens of thousands of troops failed to stop the Beimo people.

The border city was destroyed, Beimo army went straight into the city and ordered the massacre, burning, killing and looting, none of the people in the city survived, it was horrible.

The Beimo army was as powerful as a broken bamboo. Every time they captured a city, they would order the massacre of the city.

And Liangzhou has become the last line of defense. If it is broken again, the people of Beimo will go straight to the Central Plains, and the big Chen is in danger.

On the top of the city of Liangzhou, a general in silver armor stood on the top of the city, and beside him stood a man with a bearded face, holding a long sword and looking down.

In the battlefield below, the remains of the corpses include his Liangzhou sergeant and the corpses of Beimo people. These days, the Beimo army has repeatedly harassed and harassed, and food and grass are in short supply.

The morale of the army is weak, and Liangzhou City is the last line of defense.

The general in silver armor frowned and sighed: "Northern Mo has a general, I'm afraid it will be difficult this time."

Beimo's invasion this time is no longer as thoughtless as it was many years ago. Beimo people are mostly reckless, but this time there is a general in the Beimo army. I don't know what method he used to persuade These barbarians.

"Are you afraid, the general?" the swordsman asked sideways.

The general was a little annoyed when he heard this, and shouted: "Liangzhou has hundreds of thousands of silver armors, guarding the border for decades, but life and death, why fear it!?"

The swordsman took a sip from the wine gourd in his hand, and said, "Just don't be afraid."

The swordsman asked again: "I can help the general defend for another ten days. If the reinforcements do not arrive after ten days, what should the general do?"

The general was silent for a moment, then his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said in a deep voice, "Defend Liangzhou to the death!"

"I shall defend to the death!"

.........

On the official road, there is a person rushing towards Jian'an at full speed.

"drive!"

The man on the horse was waving his whip, and the horse was exhausted and nearly fell down, but fortunately, this man was skilled in equestrian skills, so he avoided the disaster.

"Dah... bang!"

The horse fell to the ground, its breath was weak, and it was so exhausted that it could no longer stand up.

Gu Qing Shan glanced back, the horse was already useless.

Fortunately, this place is not far from Jian'an City, so it won't be too late to perform lightness kung fu.

"Thank you all the way." Gu Qingshan patted the horse's back and sighed.

The horse let out a symbolic breath, as if it had exhausted its last bit of strength.

Gu Qingshan couldn't bear to watch it any longer, stood up, performed lightness kung fu and ran towards Jian'an City.

Jianghu Tavern.

It was already dusk, and it would be completely dark after a while.

Zhang Ming was sitting in front of the wine table, and Su Tan was sitting directly opposite him. She usually came to drink at this time.

Suddenly.

Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the tavern.

"Meow." Xiao Qi raised his head in doubt, looking up.

Zhang Ming also looked over, wondering if there are still drinkers coming today?Who is the one?

"Gu Qingshan? You..." Zhang Ming was stunned.

Gu Qingshan's originally tied hair was also scattered, and the clothes were covered with dust, looking very embarrassed.

Seeing Gu Qingshan, Su Tan pondered for a moment, then remembered that this was the person who used to drink in the tavern back then, and also the one who talked the most.

Gu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped forward: "Brother Zhang!"

Zhang Ming saw that Gu Qingshan's face was a bit wrong, so he asked: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Ming quickly poured a glass of wine and handed it to Gu Qingshan. After drinking this glass of wine, Gu Qingshan recovered a lot, so he spoke slowly.

"An accident happened in Beimo!" Gu Qingshan said in a deep voice.

Su Tan's arm trembled when he heard this, and frowned.

After the incident at the beginning, Chu Hang's sword heart was greatly damaged and he followed Hu Qianjian back to the sect. Gu Qingshan stayed in Chang'an for a few days, and suddenly heard a news, and went to Liangzhou alone.

Sneaking into the city, the scene is like hell on earth.

Gu Qingshan is very clear about how many troops the imperial court has. Even after so many years, the increase in troop strength is not much. There may have been a chance of winning, but now the people of Beimo are condensed into a rope, and there is one person who is behind the scenes. .

In just half a month, they broke through several cities and reached the outside of Liangzhou City.

And Liangzhou City is the last line of defense in the Central Plains.

Zhang Ming was silent, after listening to Gu Qingshan finish all this.

"Bei Mo..." Zhang Ming muttered.

"Brother Zhang." Gu Qingshan said in a deep voice: "If the city of Liangzhou is destroyed and the people of Beimo go straight to the Central Plains, Dachen... will be reduced to a purgatory on earth."

"But, what do you want me to do?" Zhang Ming asked.

"This time it's not just about the imperial court, and the Jianghu people are no exception. Now Feihuatai Baihuagu has gone to Liangzhou, and it will arrive in Liangzhou City in a few days."

"Flying Flower Terrace, Hundred Flowers Valley..." Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did Xiao Qian promise them!?"

Gu Qingshan was stunned, but did not answer.

Seeing Gu Qingshan's expression, Zhang Ming shook his head and said: "If my guess is right, many people in the Jianghu have already known about this, and you have convinced them that Jian'an City should be the farthest, I should know The latest one, right?"

"Brother Zhang..."

"You just answer, yes or no, and that's it."

Zhang Ming stared at him, the wine in the glass was still, and the atmosphere in the tavern was a bit awkward.

Gu Qingshan opened his lips slightly, finally nodded and said: "Yes."

Zhang Ming turned around and said, "Then what do you want me to do, there are so many people is enough."

"Brother Zhang, you..."

Gu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, he never thought that Zhang Ming would answer like this.

Is this how the word family and country is in Zhang Ming's heart?

Zhang Ming raised his head and took a sip of his wine, and said, "Don't look at me like that. I'm not you. I'm just a tavern owner. One more than me is not much, and one less than me is quite a lot."

Gu Qingshan was silent for a long time. When he came, he also thought that Zhang Ming would refuse, but he never thought that Zhang Ming would be so straightforward, as if it was a trivial matter, and he never took it to heart.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Zhang Ming asked, "Do you drink?"

"No." Gu Qingshan shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "If that's the case, then don't bother Brother Zhang, and leave."

After all, Gu Qingshan got up and was about to leave, but Zhang Ming didn't get up to see him off.

Just watched Gu Qingshan leave the tavern.

After Gu Qingshan left, the tavern also became quiet.

Su Tan raised his head and glanced at Zhang Ming, and asked, "Is the shopkeeper really not going?"

"What? Do you have an idea?" Zhang Ming said.

"I want to take a look." Su Tan took a sip of the general and said, "However, the man just now seemed very disappointed with the shopkeeper."

"Do you think I should promise him?" Zhang Ming asked.

Su Tan shook his head and said, "That's not true, it's just that he is also a friend of the shopkeeper, so it's not good to refuse so simply."

"I don't think so, let's not talk about it, let's have a drink."

"it is good."

Chapter 280: This land cannot be invaded by outsiders

After Gu Qingshan left the tavern, he entered Jian'an City.

In fact, what Zhang Ming said was not bad. There were already enough people who accepted the appointment. If Zhang Ming went, he would only be able to reduce part of the casualties. One less person would be a lot, and one more person would not be many.

If it were someone else, Gu Qingshan might not be disappointed either.

Gu Qingshan is sometimes very stupid, and Zhang Ming is also very aware of this.

The court has chased and killed Gu Qingshan for many years, but Gu Qingshan still has righteousness in his heart. He also said that if he had the opportunity, he felt that he should not be in the court, but be a general and fight on the battlefield.

He convinced everyone in the world for the imperial court, but he was also notorious in the world.

The rivers and lakes and the imperial court have now reached a point where fire and water are incompatible.

Although the Jianghu people will still help, but they will not be willing.

"Gu Qingshan is too impatient." Zhang Ming sighed.

If others can do this kind of thing, why should he do it.

Once things involve friends and the righteousness of the family and the country, Gu Qingshan is prone to impulsiveness, just like now.

Zhang Ming understands Gu Qingshan, but Jianghu doesn't. They just think that Gu Qingshan is a running dog of the imperial court and bears the infamy.

In this way, Gu Qingshan has already stood on the opposite side.

But he himself doesn't care.

Compared with the stability of his family and country, he can give up anything.

……

These days, Gu Qingshan has also found many people.

Half of them agreed to go together.

Zhang Ming was still so leisurely in the tavern, and now that the news about Beimo has spread throughout the Jianghu, maybe the imperial court will add fuel and jealousy secretly.

These things are said to be righteous, but in fact they are just human thoughts.

Since Xiao Qian can talk about Feihua Terrace and Baihua Valley, the rest of the forces naturally have some confidence.

This incident in Beimo seems to be menacing, but who knows if Xiao Qian has already made plans.

A few days later, Gu Qingshan came to Jianghu Tavern again.
