The scenery in Jiangnan is good, but the winter is a bit dull.
Small bridges and flowing water, singing softly, two hand in hand on the green stone path, wandering aimlessly.
Pingjiang has been living for two days, a few special scenery have gone to see, a few gardens are beautiful, just are private garden, not always open.
"If you have nowhere to roam, you can go to the Green Bamboo Building in the east of the city to listen to the music." The boss selling tracing paper umbrellas said.
"Anything special?" Jing Shao picked an umbrella painted with a green phoenix and showed it to his side.
Mu Hanzhang nodded and paid the shopkeeper.
"This green bamboo small building sounds elegant, but not a teahouse." The boss took the money, smiled and explained, usually singing music place is certainly a teahouse, but this Green Bamboo Xiaozhu is different, elegant really elegant, but does not sell tea, but sell snacks. The snacks there are sold very expensive, do is also very delicate, Pingjiang city playful and do not love to pretend to drink tea of the gentleman, most like that place.
Jing Shao heard, immediately interested, his own Wangfei prefer elegant things, but he likes all kinds of snacks, so, two birds with one stone! So pull up the side towards the east of the city.
Green bamboo small building, is indeed a elegant place, evergreen bamboo layers wrapped, only a cobblestone paved path to the inside. The center of the bamboo forest is a completely with bamboo built small salon, gurgling water around the surrounding area, a singer holding a lute sitting on top, softly softly singing a little song of Jiangnan. The eight side of the small pavilion is located in sixteen bamboo pavilions, each pavilion with tables, chairs, furnaces, a pavilion can only sit at a table guests. In order to maintain the elegance of the state, although here is to sell snacks, but there is no noisy small two to order food, have to guests themselves to the back of the bamboo forest directly with the shopkeeper said.
Perhaps it was because it was cold, Jing Shao when they came, there were only five or six pavilions in total.
Freshly baked plum blossom cake, with a bowl of steaming hot wontons, really is between delicious. Mu Hanzhang picked up a piece of plum blossom cake, these things are delicious, is too expensive, a plate of snacks and two bowls of wontons, even asked for one or two silver! No wonder business is so bad.
Jing Shao drank a mouthful of soup, fresh and fragrant hot soup this cold winter drink up quite comfortable, raised his eyes to see his own princess looking at the plum blossom cake dazed, then took his spoon, scooped up a wonton sent to his lips: "Quickly taste, a moment of cold will not be delicious."
Mu Hanzhang froze, subconsciously opened his mouth and took the wontons into his mouth, the fresh flavor immediately filled his lips and teeth, moderately salty, the meat was tender and smooth, with a hint of sesame oil, delicious!
Seeing that his own princess finally stopped hurting for money and ate seriously, Jing Shao was relieved to eat his bowl of wontons, and then got up and went to buy another bowl with an unfulfilled appetite. The two of them didn't bring any attendants with them in order to have fun, so Jing Shao, who couldn't afford to call on his own princess, had to go by himself.
Mu Hanzhang ate the wontons elegantly and earnestly, when suddenly one walked over from the pavilion next to him with a clear and nice voice: "This gentleman, excuse me."
Mu Hanzhang turned his head to look and couldn't help but be flabbergasted.
The body in front of me was dressed in a snow white, although it is winter, the robe is still covered with a layer of light veil, along that slender figure upward, delicate features, the tail of the eyes gently picking, the end of a beautiful face, just that lips seem to be smiling curvature makes his whole look a little dangerous.
"What can I do for you, Your Excellency?" Mu Hanzhang stood up and subconsciously gripped the hilt of the knife at his waist, his thumb pressing the machine button.
That saw Mu Hanzhang's proper face, the curve of his lips couldn't help but widen by a few points, "Dare I ask this knife of your son, is it the ancient famous weapon, the Treasure Knife of Hanzhang?" Saying treasure knife in his mouth, his eyes did not stay on the knife, but stared at Mu Huan Zhang's handsome face.
Mu hanzhang slightly frowned: "This knife is a gift from a friend, and do not know its name." Huanzhang treasure knife's sheath is old, even if later to find silversmith washed, but also still ordinary, which can be recognized at a glance, must be a knowledgeable.
"Can I borrow a look?" That stepped forward, almost to Mu Hanzhang's ear, and the next moment he was dragged backwards by the collar.
Jing Shao with a bowl of ravioli, just from the bamboo forest around out, saw a denizen came to the side of his own princess, a hand also to his waist to explore, immediately exploded with anger, immediately threw away the ravioli, three or two steps rushed over, grabbed that the collar, according to the eye socket is a punch.
That reaction was not slow, almost subconsciously raised his hand and blocked Jing Shao's fist. Jing Shao's backhand was about to hit his chin, and when he saw his face clearly, he couldn't help but freeze. He had seen this face for so many years, and would never recognize it wrongly, this was exactly the most important purpose of his trip to Jiangnan - King Gu Huaiqing of Huainan!
A moment's daze was enough for Gu Huaiqing to get out of his grasp, sideways and violently rolled over, quickly throwing a punch straight at Jing Shao's facade, Jing Shao immediately lifted his hand to block, but that fist didn't land, instead, he quickly withdrew his fist and jumped away after it as well.
Gu Huaiqing elegantly straightened his crown and looked at Jing Shao with cold eyes, "To beat indiscriminately is not what a gentleman does." Next to the pavilion, two guards heard the words and quickly ran out to protect his side.
Jing Shao ignored him and put his arm around his own princess and looked, "Junqing, is everything alright?"
Mu Hanzhang shook his head, "It's fine." Turning her eyes to see Gu Huaiqing looking like she was in possession, she gently leaned into Jing Shao's arms and soothingly touched his spine, which was taut with anger.
But this comfort Jing Shao seems to be very wrong, Jun Qing will rarely take the initiative to snuggle into his arms, this look, must be aggrieved! Just calmed down the anger once again burning up, whatever he what Huainan King or Huaibei King, first beat up again!
Gu Huaiqing face flashed a moment of consternation, just focus on attention to that treasure knife, did not pay attention to these two, in broad daylight, so intimate and ambiguous, presumably explicitly married husband and wife! Before he could utter an apology, Jing Shao rushed over again.
Signaling the two guards not to intervene, Gu Huaiqing stepped forward to receive the move himself.
Jing Shao punch straight to the face of the door, when the other raised his hand to when, but suddenly low body sweeping a leg. Gu Huaiqing immediately jumped up high, raised his leg toward Jing Shao kick, Jing Shao spun around and kicked his leg away, and then pounced on him.
The two's kung fu was neck and neck, and they fought hard.
Mu Hanzhang watched dumbfounded as the two went from a Sho Bajing bout to inserting eyes and teasing yin to playing underhanded tricks, and finally to rolling on the ground and beating each other up without any skill.
The surrounding listening to the song up to see the fun, two guards brush pull a knife, those who are idle boy scared enough, even rolled and crawled to run a clean. The boss heard the commotion, came up in a hurry to discourage, this commotion, a morning of business is gone. Mu Hanzhang went forward to give him a South Sea beads as compensation, the boss wrinkled face immediately smile: "Several slowly cut, go to make a pot of tea for you!"
The two on the ground also do not care about this kind of fight is not lost, straight to the two are bruised and swollen, panting, which is barely separated, lying back on the ground full of fallen leaves panting.
I thought it was going to be a truce, three breaths later, the two looked at each other, at the same time, stormed up, the two small arms interlocked, secretly fight the strength. Gu Huaiqing looked at the green corners of the mouth, leaving a nosebleed Jing Shao still look vicious, finally could not help but giggle out, tilted his head back to the ground: "hahaha, I do not know that the two are husband and wife, more offenses, brothers can not afford to be angry, then another punch it!"
Jing Shao ignored him and got up from the ground, then kicked him.
Gu Huaiqing: "...... "Usually when you hear this kind of words, don't they all turn into a good thing? This is still ...... too interesting!
Mu Hanzhang was busy walking up, and asked the boss for a cloth towel to wipe Jing Shao's face, "I said it was fine, why are we fighting again?"
"Hmph!" Jing Shao grunted, but it was a bit difficult to put an end to the situation at hand.
I thought of this trip to Jiangnan to meet the king of Huainan, and discuss with him about the future, I did not expect to meet here. In the last life, even if the two of them fought for so long, Jing Shao never took this as an enemy, but as a lifelong rival, or even, a long time of divine friendship, confidant! Therefore, this time, about the Huainan fiefdom, he has his own other plans, but did not expect that once they met, it developed into this situation.
Gu Huaiqing climbed up from the ground, rubbed his aching shoulders, and clutched Jing Shao's arm: "No fight, never seen with this kind of fate, today to be with the sworn brothers!" Think about Jing Shao just fight what dirty tricks are made out, he has never seen the birth of extraordinary, strong martial arts but also with his own general shameless! Really is a once-in-a-lifetime confidant!
"Huh?" Jing Shao froze, this King Huainan was really out of line, how did this fight turn into a sworn brotherhood?
A prince, a feudal king, worshiped as a brother, this is how to say? Jing Shao frowned and looked at him, "Your son's status is certainly extraordinary, and it's not proper to casually associate with him, right?"
Gu Huaiqing did not hesitate to order the guards to prepare candles and yellow paper, and pulled him up, "No matter who it is and who it is, it is hard to meet a confidant, and today this handle is to be worshipped!"
Mu Hanzhang looked at the two bruises and swollen nose and face, but also still support the style, can not help but pursed his lips and laughed softly out loud.
Burning yellow paper, killing chicken blood, Gu Huaiqing said the wind is rain, a few moments to get everything ready, pulling Jing Shao to worship.
"Yellow sky, Gu Huaiqing, today this, with ......" Gu Huaiqing holding the incense in his hand, halfway through, suddenly paused and turned his head with a light smile, "Brother, have not yet asked for the name."
"...... "Jing Shao sighed helplessly, the King of Huainan, who was a few years younger than his previous life, was still so elusive, "Jing Shao."
Gu Huaiqing lips smile immediately stiffened, "Jing" is the imperial surname, the world's surname Jing is not much, and called Jing Shao, and this time appeared in Jiangnan, only the King of Cheng.
Jing Shao learned Gu Huaiqing's smirk: "How, still worshiping?"
"Worship! Why don't you worship!" Gu Huaiqing came back to his senses and shoved the incense into Jing Shao's hands, "Huang Tian Tian, Gu Huaiqing, today this, and Jing Shao are brothers, from now on, we will share the same blessings and difficulties!"
