Chapter 2 A Little Encounter in a Wine Bar

The rain gradually became heavier. Yang Shiqing advised to speed up the horse speed. He was about two miles from the business. A wine shed appeared in front of him, made of bamboo, wood and oil tiles. The shed was huge and could accommodate more than a hundred people. There were more than twenty couches under the shed, full of tourists hiding from the rain, and a side shed to accommodate horses.

The group of people who were asking for directions just now walked into the wine pan under the guidance of two friends. Yang Yuanqing saw that the wine pan was basically full and was about to leave, but the guy standing under the wine pan waved to him enthusiastically. "This young man, there are two seats, come in and drink a bowl of hot soup, eat something before leaving."

Yang Yuanqing hesitated for a moment, and the guy ran up and pulled out his horse and smiled, "Young master, our family is only ten miles away. It's raining so heavily, come in and take shelter from the rain!"

Seeing that the guy was quite enthusiastic, Yang Yuanqing turned over and got off the horse, threw the reins at him, "Feed the horse well with good fine materials."

He casually paid three hangs of money from the horse bag to reward him. The man took the reward and left happily. Yang Yuanqing swept around the wine pan. There were indeed two empty seats in the northeast corner. It was the middle-aged man who was asking for directions just now. They sat on two couches, but their mistress was not present. They should be in the carriage, which was parked next to the carriage. There were men and women in the wine pan, and life was noisy. The woman in the carriage was probably the girl from a wealthy family and refused to come in to sit together.

"Brother, please sit here!"

The middle-aged butler recognized him and asked him to sit down enthusiastically. Several followers squeezed to the side, leaving a space free.

"Then I'll criticize you!"

Yang Yuanqing was not polite either. He sat on the wooden holder and placed the leather bag, long spear and bow next to him. He smiled and bowed to the middle-aged man and his followers around him.

In fact, middle-aged men also look at people's words. Generally speaking, there were still rules in the Sui Dynasty that scholars and common people had different seats. Middle-aged men were just housekeepers, and the followers were just servants, with a slightly lower status. If Yang Yuanqing wore a brocade robe and a golden crown on his head, the middle-aged man would never be so arrogant to invite Yang Yazhe to the same table. If Yang Yuanqing had a noble status, he would be extremely rude.

But when he saw Yang Yuanqing wearing a blue cloth robe and a flat scarf on his head, and a leather belt with no decorations on the leather belt that he could identify his identity, he immediately judged that Yang Yuanqing was just a civilian, so it would be okay to sit with them.

Yang Yabō sat down. It was the time to be bullied. He was a little hungry and the guy smiled and waved, "Come three pounds of mutton, three pieces of cakes, and then a pot of wine."

"Okay! The guest sits for a while." The guy shouted loudly and ran to the back and prepared to go.

The middle-aged butler picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Yang Yuanqing, and asked with a smile: "I heard that the accent is from Beijing, right? Is your surname?"

Yang Yuanqing quickly clasped his hands and thanked: "I am from the capital, so I will be exempted from your surname Yang."

He also asked with a smile: "Is this uncle from Jiangpai or from Puzhou?"

"We are from Wenxi, Jiangzhou, and escorted my daughter to Beijing."

When Yang Yuanqing heard that they were Wenxiren, his first reaction was that Wenxi Pei family was. Who is the leader of the eight great gentry in the world?

Even though he thought so, he did not dare to make a rash decision. Yang Yaqing smiled and said, "Wenxi is a good place! Isn't Guan Yu the outstanding people and the spirit of the land of Wenxi?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sneer came from the carriage, and a chuckle came. Yang Yuanqing finally realized that he suddenly turned red and said quickly: "I am confused. Guan Yunchang is Jie Liangren in Puzhou. Not Wen Xiren."

He couldn't help but look back and chuckled just now, his voice was very soft, it was probably a young woman. The housekeeper smiled and said, "My grandmaster is an official in Beijing. This time we are sending the female master to Beijing."

Several followers next to them were paying attention to Yang Yuanqing's horse spear. They were all martial arts practitioners and had some knowledge. Although Yang Yuanqing used a leather bag to cover the spear blade, they still guessed the unique spear rod of the horse spear. They all looked at them with a look of surprise, and they had never seen such a long horse spear.

"Good spear!"

Someone behind him exclaimed, Yang Ya and Qing turned around and saw five or six men sitting on the wooden couch behind him, all of whom were tall and strong, brave and strong, with long weapons around him.

Although Yang Jian issued a ban on military affairs in the 17th year of Kaihuang, not allowing the people to have long weapons, in fact, his ban was not effective, and it only restricted the sale of weapons. The Sui Dynasty was known to be civil and military affairs in the south, and the martial arts style was strong in the north. There were many descendants of military generals, gentry and common people, and martial arts practitioners. Yang Jian's ban on military affairs was actually in name only.

When Yang Yuanqing entered the wine pan, he also discovered that many people in the wine pan were martial artists, carrying archers and archers. The man behind him was about twenty years old, with big arms and round waist, red hair, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and extraordinary appearance. He also carried a long spear, a Zaoyang golden nail spear, the head of the spear was a date-shaped iron hammer, and six rows of gold-plated two-inch nails were densely packed. The spear weighed about seventy or eighty, which shows that the man was also a man with high martial arts skills.

Yang Yuanqing raised his glass to signal to him that the young man was a generous person. He also raised his glass to reply and smiled: "I am placing an order from Xiongxin, a native of Shangdang County, Luzhou, has loved horse spears since he was a child. What do you call this young master?"

Yang Yuanqing looked at him carefully and found out that he was the red-haired spirit official Shan Xiongxin. He was indeed an extraordinary person. The person next to him looked quite similar to Shan Xiongxin. It was probably his brother Shan Xiongzhong.

Yang Yuanqing also raised his glass happily and said, "Yang Yuanqing, a native of the capital, has long admired the names of the two heroes of the two Xianzhuang family, and respected the two brothers for a cup."

He reported his name, and another table of people not far away, oh!, said aloud, and looked at Yang Yuanqing together. When Yang Shiqing came, he found that the table of people looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a moment. He was surprised to hear his registration, and these people obviously knew him.

Yang Yuanqing still couldn't remember who this group of people was, so he had to let go for the time being, and smiled at the brothers Shan Xiongxin behind him and said, "How did the two brothers Shan think of coming to the capital?"

The Shan Xiongxin brothers helped the poor and weak in Shangdang County, and were interested in fighting for the unfairness. They liked to make friends with heroes in the world. In Shangdang County and even Luzhou, they mentioned the two heroes of the Shan family in the second sage, and everyone knew it. But this is the capital, and it is under the feet of the emperor who hides and hides dragons and tigers. When the Shan Xiongxin brothers saw that the little brother actually knew their reputation, they couldn't help but have a good impression of them.

Shan Xiongxin smiled and said, "Brother Yang is worse than to come here to sit."

Of course, chatting with Shan Xiongxin is much more interesting than the unknown butler opposite. Yang Ya and Qing smiled apologetically at the butler and sat at Shan Xiongxin's table.

Shan Xiongxin had five or six people at a table. In addition to the Shan brothers, there were also several other martial arts masters. Shan Xiongxin introduced to Yang Yuanqing one by one, "These are all heroes in Luzhou. This is my eldest brother Shan Xiongzhong. This Shan Renjie is my clan's brother, Xu Chongshan, and Martin Yuan. The three of them are known as the Three Tigers of Shangdang, and they are all generous men."

Shan Xiongxin is only a long-term Shan Xiongzhong, but he is a man of both civil and military affairs. Although he is also very generous, he is more careful than his brothers. The two brothers are powerful in Luzhou and have a wealth of wealth, so his brother Shan Xiong can afford the Zaoyang spear. Although the young man on the opposite side is simple in dressing, he has a calm temperament in every move. More importantly, his horse spear is longer and thicker than an ordinary horse spear, and is worth at least ten thousand gold. Shan Xiongzhong felt that this young man should not be an ordinary person.

"This young man should also be a famous family!" Shan Xiongzhong asked with a tentative smile.

At this time, a big man next to him raised his glass to Yuki and laughed: "You don't even know Yang Yaqing. Then you are really ignorant. You should have heard of the battle against the Turks five years ago!"

Shan Xiong was moved, and he stared at Yang Yuanqing, "It turns out that the little brother is Yang Yuanqing, the famous flying general of the mountain?"

Yang Yuanqing knew for the first time that he had a "big mountain flying general," but this nickname he liked "but he made the dragon city flying general, not called Hu Ma crossing the mountain."

Yang Yuanqing raised his glass and smiled slightly, "It's just an ordinary border army, I can't afford to be a flying general, the word "Singer" is too good to be a second brother."

He stood up again and smiled at the man who revealed his identity and said, "I seem to have seen a kind brother somewhere. Please forgive me for being a shy person, but I really can't remember it."

The big man squinted his eyes and smiled quite dangerously, "Did Brother Yang forget it? At the Renshou Palace Station, we are a rabbit."

Yang Yuanqing suddenly remembered that this person was one of the four personal bodyguards of King Yanglai of Yuzhang. The feeling that these four people were extraordinary. Yang Yuanqing looked at the table next to him, and there was also a genius in his thirties in his green clothes, who seemed to be around Yang Li, and the others were dressed as shìwei.

"I remembered it."

Yang Yuanqing smiled happily and said, "We have seen it, but can this kind of brother respect his surname and name, please give me advice?"

"In Xialiang Shidu, a native of Xiazhou, his reputation is not worth mentioning."

"So it's Brother Liang, come on! I'll give you a cup."

Shan Xiongxin raised his glass to toast Liang Shidu, but Liang Shidu ignored him and raised his glass to Yang Yuanqing, turned around and left. Shan Xiongxin's hands were frozen in the air, his face flushed red. After a while, he snorted and sat down, with extremely annoyed in his eyes.

Yang Yuanqing lowered his voice and said to him: "They are subordinates of Yang Lai, the king of Yuzhang, so it's best not to make friends."

The Shan brothers looked at each other, and both of them were wary. When they came, they knew that the capital was hidden and the tiger was not too careless. It was just that Shan Xiong was generous and easy to make friends, and it was hard to change for a while. Unexpectedly, he met a man in the royal family mansion just in Bashang. It turned out that the capital was deep, which made him secretly scream ashamed.

However, Shan Xiongxin had a very good impression of Yang Yuanqing. He was actually a flying general in the mountains. He must make friends with such a border hero. Shan Xiongxin ignored Liang Shidu and others and smiled at Yang Yuanqing, "General Yang came back from the frontier. Could it be that he also wanted to participate in the election of generals and talents?

Yang Yuanqing was stunned. He had never heard of the election of generals before. Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "I came back to visit relatives, I have never heard of the election of generals before." What's going on?"

"It turns out that Brother Yang didn't know, but it's no wonder that Brother Yang is already a border general and does not need to seek this and fame anymore."

Shan Xiongxin explained with a smile: "The priest uploaded the orders of the world and ordered the generals of the world to be selected. In the capital, those with high martial arts can be given military positions. Those who hear the news can move, so we also want to go to Beijing to try our luck."

Yang Yuanqing suddenly realized that he thought to himself, "I guess this is Yang Guang's preparation for the imperial examination, and he will first use the martial arts to test it...

Yang Yuanqing asked again: "Does Brother Shan know how to choose the general and select talents?"

Shan Xiongxin scratched his head, "The details are not very clear. I heard that it is mainly about riding and shooting, and there are some other names, so I will know it when I go to Beijing."

"This hero!"

A guy behind him anxiously called Shan Xiongxin, "Is that your horse outside?"
