thousand words

It had only rained at night, and the bluestone slabs on the street had the luster of being polished by the soles of shoes all year round.Along the river, the stone roads on both sides are covered with peach blossoms that have been knocked down by the rain. Although they are not as bright as the branches, they still embellish the spring with a different style.

At this time, on the busiest street in Liaoyi, a table was propped up at the entrance of the Chuuxue Pavilion, and a jar of apricot blossom wine and several plates of peach blossom cakes were placed on the table.And the person sitting at the table eating peach blossom cake with his legs crossed is Qian Duoduo, a well-known "famous mouth" in the world.

Speaking of Qian Duoduo can be regarded as an anecdote in the world, this person does not have the slightest martial arts skills, and his looks are frustrating enough. He wants money but has no money and no power.But it is such a person who relies on his three-inch tongue to get involved in the life of a rich man in Liaoyi, the center of Jianghu martial arts. All those who come and go to the rivers and lakes or dignitaries love to listen to him at the gate of the Chuuxue Pavilion. For such a period.Having said that, he gained some fame, so the boss of Chuuxue Pavilion simply paid some money to hire him to tell jokes in Chuuxue Pavilion, firstly to attract customers, and secondly to tout and praise Chuuxue Pavilion. The boss and Qian Duoduo are also mutually beneficial.

Most of Qian Duoduo's jokes are anecdotes about the world and the unofficial history of the court. When the local people listen to the morning news and gossip in the afternoon, people in the world listen to excellent information about the world. Opening his mouth, he became more and more daring to say that Qian Duoduo has gradually gained a reputation in the Jianghu, and Chuuxue Pavilion has become a must-see place for people in the Jianghu who come to Liaoyi.

At this time, he was wearing a coarse linen robe with a Wusong hat on his head, holding apricot blossom wine in one hand and waving a Zhuge fan in the other. His expression seemed to be Wu Song's fearlessness before fighting a tiger, and Zhuge's confidence when he burned Cao's boat. This nondescript outfit It's ridiculous to cooperate with his exaggerated expression and movements, but everyone sees him like this, and they are also looking forward to the anecdotes this man tells.

There were more and more people around, Qian Duoduo looked at the atmosphere and raised his head, took a big sip of wine and began to talk while shaking his fan.

"The weather is beautiful today! Let's not talk nonsense, let's get straight to the point." Qian Duoduo swallowed, raised his head and said with emotion: "By the way, this apricot blossom wine is the best in Chuuxue Pavilion , I feel refreshed after taking a sip, and I have enough confidence to speak..." Before finishing speaking, the crowd onlookers made a 'tss' sound, Qian Duoduo waved his hand and laughed: "This propaganda is a bit blunt, Everyone bear it, it's all for the sake of making a living."

After the surrounding voices subsided, Qian Duoduo officially began to speak: "Everyone here, whether they were born in the Jianghu or ordinary people, must have heard of "Thousand Words". If anyone has not heard of it, I will hit the south wall today. .”

Everyone deliberately laughed: "I've never heard of it!"

Qian Duoduo: "..."

"Ahem...you have to be honest. Speaking of this "Thousand Words Book", it is a good thing that people in the world are flocking to. It is rumored that those who read "Thousand Words Book" will eventually become the supreme martial arts, such as the martial arts leader Qian Xingyun, and For example, Bai Lichen, the owner of Qijue Mountain Villa. As for whether "Thousand Words Book" is a martial arts secret book or something else, we don't know. However, more people tend to believe that "Thousand Words Book" is a martial arts secret book, otherwise they have read it. How can people become martial arts supreme? Actually... I think it is this music score."

No one paid any attention to Qian Duoduo's cold joke. Qian Duoduo felt bored and continued, "As the prize for winning the martial arts conference, the "Thousand Words Book" is now in the hands of the martial arts leader Qian Xingyun as it should be. I still try my best to get a glimpse of the true content of "Thousand Words Book". Two months later, the martial arts conference is a good opportunity, but right now there is an even better opportunity. Humph, everyone guessed it, that is the leader of the martial arts alliance Qian Yuhan, Qian Xingyun's only son."

Speaking of this, Qian Duoduo deliberately paused, and the martial arts practitioners who were sitting next to him moved closer one after another, stretched their ears and listened attentively, for fear of missing any word.

Seeing that Qian Duoduo had reached a pause, he deliberately lowered his voice and said slowly: "Perhaps everyone has heard that Qian Yuhan, the only son of Alliance Leader Qian Yuhan, ran away from home a year ago and wandered around the world alone. I don't know that Alliance Leader Qian deliberately let him The tempering is still true as the rumors say that the relationship between father and son is not harmonious. In short, Qian Yuhan is not protected by the leader of Qianyu and the martial arts alliance." Qian Duoduo smiled secretly: "According to people familiar with the matter, Qian Yuhan is the only one in the world who may The person who uttered the content of the Thousand Words Manual..."

Qian Duoduo said the word "informed person" very ambiguously. The martial arts people present all showed doubts but then nodded in understanding, but there were also a few who couldn't hold back and began to yell and ask Qian Yuhan whereabouts.

Qian Duoduo smiled and said: "If you want to know the whereabouts of Qian Yuhan, you can go to Qianji Pavilion and ask."

Everyone shook their heads and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that if you go to Qianji Pavilion, you will be hooked by that thousand-faced fox and your soul will never come back..."

"About Qian Yuhan's whereabouts..." Qian Duoduo suddenly lowered his head and gave a meaningful smile. Seeing his expression, everyone sighed, and sure enough, they heard him raise his voice: "If you want to know more details, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down." .”

The crowd had no choice but to spread their hands and disperse, but Qian Duoduo said loudly: "True, false, and false, talk about the drama, and hear the drama in a daze." He waved his hands and sighed: "Let's talk and listen..."

No one laughed at Qian Duoduo, and no one questioned whether what Qian Duoduo just said was true or not, as if listening to a play without asking whether it was true or false had become an unspoken rule of Chuuxue Pavilion, and everyone knew it tacitly. Will not go to the trouble of a lot of money.

Qian Duoduo sent away all the guests with a smile, drank the last sip of apricot blossom wine on the table and stretched his waist in satisfaction to close the table, but when he looked up, he saw a customer who hadn't left standing in the same place, Fixed staring at him.

Eyes met, Qian Duoduo seemed to be stung by the sharp and searching eyes, and couldn't help shrinking his neck. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and regained his composure before carefully sizing up the person in front of him.

This person is not very old, no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in black clothes, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes are very handsome, but those dark eyes reveal a gloomyness that does not match his age, which makes him very unhappy.The young man was carrying an object that did not match his height. It was wrapped in black cloth from head to toe, and it was hard to see the details, but Qian Duoduo subconsciously felt that it was an unusual weapon.

The two stared at each other for a moment, Qian Duoduo didn't speak, and the young man remained expressionless and silent as if he was thinking about something.

Just when Qian Duoduo was about to speak, the boy suddenly stepped forward, picked up the peach cake on the table, took a bite, and chewed carefully, Qian Duoduo was not in a hurry to speak, and when the boy finished eating, Qian Duoduo was about to speak again But I heard the young man express his post-eating speech in a young voice: "It's unpalatable."

Qian Duoduo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly forgot all the words he had thought, and all the words that popped up in his mind were curse words. This peach cake was made by his favorite wife, the chief cook of Chuuxue Pavilion, and this kid actually detested him Daughter-in-law's craftsmanship? !

In order to prevent many people from maintaining the reputation of Chuuxue Pavilion, he restrained the urge to swear, glanced at the boy and said angrily: "Didn't your father teach you to praise others for free?"

The boy was silent for a while, then raised his head quietly and said, "I don't intend to eat for free." After speaking, he threw two copper coins on the table.

Qian Duoduo was furious all of a sudden, he picked up the wine bowl and wanted to smash the boy's face, but just as he raised his hand, he heard the boy say, "Where is Qian Yuhan?"

This sentence was like a pot of herbal tea, which instantly extinguished Qian Duoduo, a flaming mountain that was about to erupt.
