Chapter 24 Farewell to the restaurant
As night fell, the major wine shops in the capital began to become lively, and warriors carrying weapons could be seen everywhere. Today, after the first examination of the martial arts examination, many warriors relaxed. They were in groups of three or five, drinking and having fun.
The "Drunk Country" wine shop in Liren City is also very lively. Almost the entire second floor is filled with warriors. A table next to the window can be seated at seven or eight people. Shan Xiongxin and others are gathering together to chat and laugh.
Yang Yuanqing also sat at the table with Niu Niu. He introduced Niu Niu one by one, "This blushing person is Brother Shan, and his brother is next to him."
Niu Niu picked up the wine glass and smiled embarrassedly, "Brother Shan, Brother Shan, I'll give you a cup."
Although Shan Xiongxin and others were usually joking unscrupulously, they could see who Niu Niu was from Yang Yuanqing, and everyone was very polite.
Shan Xiongxin smiled generously and said, "Miss Niu Niu is willing to give face to drink with us. This is our honor. We have many people, so you can drink as much as you like, and we can drink it!"
After saying that, he drank a bowl of wine in one sip, but Niu Niu didn't feel embarrassed and drank the glass of wine in one sip, which caused everyone to cheer.
Shan Xiongzhong was always steady. He knew that Niu Niu would like to pay a cup to each other. She had to get drunk, so she smiled and said, "The rest of us would like to pay a cup to pay a cup to pay a cup to pay a cup to pay a cup to pay a cup to pay a cup to pay a cup to pay a cup to pay a cup to pay a cup to pay a cup to pay a cup to pay a cup to pay a cup to pay a cup to pay a cup to pay a cup to pay a cup to pay a cup to pay
He also introduced everyone to Niu Niu, "This is Shan Renjie, my clan's brother, this is Xu Chongshan, this is Martin Yuan, the three of them are known as the Three Tigers of Shangdang, and this Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao, and that is Cheng Yaojin."
Niu Niu's mouth was very sweet, and everyone called everyone the eldest brother. She drank the wine in the glass in one go, making everyone like her very much, and they all respected Niu Niu a bowl of wine. Niu Niu drank two glasses in one breath, her cheeks were red, like the morning glow reflected in the snow, but she was extremely happy. She sat close to Brother Yuanqing and drank with these generous men. She even gave her a sense of freedom and happiness in her heart.
"Brother Yuanqing, I haven't toasted you with a glass of wine!"
Niu Niu picked up the wine glass and smiled and turned to Yang Yuanqing. Seeing her pretty face flushed, Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "I found that you can still drink it."
Niu Niu laughed softly and said, "Actually, I can only drink five cups at most. If I have more than five cups, I will get drunk."
She pouted her mouth and said, "Say it first! You brought me to drink. If I get drunk today, you will carry me back."
Seeing that she was cute and cute, Yang Yuanqing blinked and smiled, "Do you still remember when we were young, we went to Aunt Liu's house to secretly drink the glutinous rice wine she brewed. You only took a sip, but I got drunk. I'll carry you back."
Niu Niu pinched him quietly and whispered coquettishly, "I'm still saying it! It's all your fault, that's the first time I've been beaten by my mother. I haven't settled the score with you."
"Hey! Hey! Two, if you want to drink, drink quickly. Let's talk back to Si's room, don't let us be jealous."
Shan Xiongxin was joking, and everyone laughed. Yang Yuanqing picked up the wine bowl, touched Niu Niu's wine glass gently, and drank a bowl of wine. Niu Niu was embarrassed by everyone's laugh, but she was very happy in her heart and drank the wine in the glass. e^Look
"How did you do the exam today?" Yang Yuanqing saw that some people were happy and some were worried, so he picked up the wine bowl and smiled.
"My elder brother didn't do well in the exam today!" Shan Xiongxin patted his brother Shan Xiongzhong's shoulder and smiled.
Shan Xiongzhong sighed, "Stop talking, it's embarrassing."
"Why, Brother Shan, come and listen, let me see if there is any room for remedy."
Shan Xiongzhong picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then smiled bitterly and said, "The test of riding is actually very simple. The full score is ten, riding a horse and running a thousand steps, completing three simple horse-control actions, turning around, jumping into the trench and the iron bridge, which is four points, and then riding. Stepping is three arrows outside the sixty steps, which is six points. If you add another lottery to the bull's eye, you can get the highest six colors. I have no problem riding three arrows, but the stepping is eight-dou bow. I can't do it with the stepping bow, and three arrows fly two arrows. Oh! It's over."
"Today many people are falling on the bow!"
Shan Xiongxin also added, "The main reason is that the Ministry of War did not say that it would take the arch test in advance, but only said that it would be a arch, so everyone wanted to get the arrows right away. Moreover, the bows provided by the Ministry of War are uncomfortable to use, and the wind is strong, so it is difficult to get the shot. Although I got all of them, I only got the shot at the bull's eye with one arrow."
He smiled and said, "But there are also people who perform very well, such as Brother Qin, whether he steps on the bow, rides on the bow, arrows and arrows hit the bull's eye, even the examiner applauded him."
Qin Qiong shook her head embarrassedly, "Actually, I have some things that I can't perform well. My horse happened to have diarrhea yesterday, weak limbs, and almost fell through when jumping into the trench. I think I should be deducted points."
"No! I made it clear in advance. I only see if I did not complete it. If I completed it, I would add one point. If I did not complete it, I would give it no points. If you skip it, I would add one point. I think you should add six colors for the full score today and ranked first."
At this time, Niu Niu secretly touched Yang Yuanqing with her arm and looked to the left. Yang Yuanqing smiled. He had noticed that today Cheng Yaojin didn't say a word, drinking one bowl after another, and had already drunk more than a dozen bowls.
"Has Lao Cheng made a mistake today?" Yang Yuanqing asked with a smile.
After a while, Cheng Yaojin said in a whispering voice, "I will go home tomorrow!"
Qin Qiong smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Actually, you are not bad either. At least you will get one shot in the infantry and cavalry and get six points. Although the ranking is not good, it is also considered to be a pass. You should have no problem taking the weapons tomorrow."
"But the day after tomorrow, what should you do if you ask me to do?"
"We still need to test military strategy?"
Yang Yuanqing was also stunned, "Aren't you just trying to ride shè and weapons?"
Shan Xiongxin also frowned and said, "This military strategy has been temporarily added. It is said to be an additional department. We all suspect there is a problem here."
"Does Brother Shan think that martial arts are unfair?"
Shan Xiongxin glanced at another table of people who were drinking not far away, "Yuan Qing, look at them."
Yang Yuanqing nodded. He had noticed that they were all martial arts children from aristocratic families, one of which was Yuwen Shu's son Yuwen Zhiji, who is currently the general of the Zuowei Zhi Pavilion.
"I know, they are all children of aristocratic families, what's wrong?"
"This group of people took the exam with us today, and they were all taking the B list."
Yang Yuanqing frowned. He knew that in order to take care of the children of aristocratic families, Yang Guang specially divided the A and B lists. The children of officials above the fifth rank and above took the A list, and the folk martial artists took the B list. The distinction was very clear. Why did these children of aristocratic families take the B list? Isn’t this just seizing the quota that was not too many?
Shan Xiongxin sighed and said, "There is a dong here. There are only two quotas for the children of officials above the fifth rank and above in each household. But there are many people who follow it. So they find a way to register for the B list because the regulations are clear. List A is only allowed for the children of officials above the fifth rank and above. However, their children cannot register for the B list. As a result, hundreds of children of officials came to register for the B list. There were originally only 500 quotas, 300 quotas, and 200 quotas on the A list. Now, I guess there are very few quotas to be allocated to us in the end."
"Who is the chief examiner today?" Yang Yuanqing asked again.
"I heard that he is Li Gang, the Ministry of War. This person is quite upright, but the person responsible for the specific examination is several Ministry of War. Especially a Ministry of War, named Wang Shichong, is obviously biased and tolerant of the children of aristocratic families, and is very harsh in ordinary martial arts. There is a standard for the test of the cavalry. Especially tomorrow, the weapon test will be completely determined by several Ministry of War. Even if you are the best in martial arts in the world, they say that you are not good, and we are all very worried."
It turned out that Wang Shi was acting as the examiner, no wonder Yuan Qing was thinking, but Niu Niu next to him pulled him for a moment and said nervously, "Brother Yuan Qing, my senior brother is here!"
Yang Yuanqing was stunned, and he realized that in a single seat several tables away from them, Zhang Zhongjian was alone with a knife on the table, drinking while looking at him coldly.
"Everyone drinks slowly. I see an acquaintance and I go and say hello."
Yang Yuanqing gave Niu Niu a look, picked up the wine glass and walked up.
"What, is the matter not finished yet?" Yang Yuanqing sat down opposite him with a smile.
Niu Niu also bowed forward, "Senior Brother, why are you here?"
Zhang Zhongjian glanced at her and said lightly, "Junior sister, you shouldn't have drunk so much wine."
Niu Niu sat down close to Yang Yuanqing and said with a smile, "If I get drunk, Brother Yuanqing will carry me back."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Zhongjian stared at Yang Yuanqing like a knife and sneered, "Are you so reliable?"
Yang Yuanqing was also a little unhappy. Who did he think he was and is Niu Niu the one he could take care of?
He held Niu Niu's hand and smiled and said, "Why am I unreliable?"
Niu Niu also felt the subtle hostility between the two. In fact, she also knew that the eldest brother had a little unusual concern for her, but she only had Yang Yuanqing in her heart and could not tolerate anyone. She knew that at this time, she had to express her attitude and could not be indecisive, as it would hurt the eldest brother.
She didn't object, and let Yang Yuanqing hold his hand, Zhang Zhongjian's eyes were gloomy. He had already seen that his junior sister had something to do, and he had no chance.
Zhang Zhongjian sighed and said, "Yang Yuanqing, Chen Yin is dead, everyone in the Nanhua Association believes that it was you who killed it."
"Impossible! Brother Yuanqing didn't kill him."
Yang Yuanqing waved his hand, stopped Niu Niu, and calmly asked Zhang Zhongjian, "Why did I say I killed?"
"Because Chen Yin died in front of your mansion, several of his confidants confirmed that you killed him. There is no problem in entering your mansion, and he will die if he comes out."
‘Die when he came out?’ Yang Yuanqing narrowed his eyes and began to recall what happened today. It was obvious that this was directly related to Wang Mo’s request to go to the side.
Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "I didn't kill you, it should be Wang Mo who killed you."
"I know he killed it."
A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Zhongjian's mouth, "I know your strength very well. If it were really your kill, Wang Mo and Chen Yin's confidant would not leave alive."
"Senior Brother, since you clearly know why you didn't explain it to Nanhua clearly, but Yuan Qing was carrying a hatred?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Niu Niu's tone.
Zhang Zhongjian sighed softly and smiled bitterly, "Because Yuan Qing and I bear the same hatred, Nanhua Club believes that I betray the owner."
He said to Yang Yuanqing again, "At Wanchun Tea House, you should get a list from the secret room, right!"
"Yes! I got it." Yang Yuanqing nodded.
"That's Wang Mo's frame-up. Before leaving, the association took away all the documents in the secret room. As a result, Wang Mo took advantage of the association's inattention and put another list into the secret room. The list was written in my handwriting, which can be said to be exactly the same. In this way, I can't explain it clearly."
"It's indeed a good method!"
Although Yang Yuanqing knew that he was being used, he couldn't help but praise him. Wang Mo said nothing and took advantage of the conflict between him and the South China Association. He was a not simple person.
"But why did he do this?"
"Because he is Wang Sengbian's son, Wang Sengbian died at Chen Baxian's hands. Wang Sengbian was loyal to Xiao Liang. If I guessed correctly, Nanhua would become Xiao Liang's power in a few years.
Xiao Xian's shadow suddenly flashed through Yang Yuanqing's mind. If there were heroes in the south, this person would be the one.
"What do you plan to do in the future?" Yang Yuanqing asked again.
Zhang Zhongjian smiled slightly and said, "Like junior sister, I was also eliminated by the Nanhua Society. I will be free from now on. I plan to travel to the Western Regions, go as far as I can, and I will come back in a few years."
Zhang Zhongjian stood up and smiled at Niu Niu, "Junior sister, I hope I can drink your wedding wine when I come back."
