Chapter 99 The Little Beggar in Zhangjiakou
Chapter 99 The Little Beggar in Zhangjiakou
On the way to the teahouse, Lin Pingzhi casually stopped a passerby dressed as a scholar, asked the passerby a few questions, and only then did he know where and when he was.
"Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty have not yet formed an alliance. It seems that the plot has just begun, or has not yet started. Fortunately, the difficulty for me to complete the task has been greatly reduced." He was slightly relieved, with a relaxed smile on his face,
The Mongolia-Song alliance is a landmark event in the first half of the original plot. Based on this, he can roughly deduce the development level of the plot.
"Leaving Mu Nianci aside, "Wu Mu's Last Letter" is probably still in the hands of the Iron Palm Gang, and has not been obtained by the protagonist Guo Jing. The second Huashan Lunjian has not yet started, and the latter two tasks have a high chance of being completed."
In Lin Pingzhi's opinion, compared to the first task, the second and third tasks are simpler.
"Wu Mu's Suicide Notes" - it is said that it was written by Yue Fei, a famous anti-gold general, and it is a military book.
Those who get the book of war can comprehend the key points of using soldiers in the book, and quickly grow into a powerful general who uses soldiers like a god.
In the original work of Shooting Condors, "Wu Mu's Suicide Note" runs through most of the plot as a clue, and is an extremely important prop.
In the dangerous situation where the Southern Song Dynasty was weak and the Mongolian and Yuan invaded, the protagonist Guo Jing was able to defend Xiangyang City for many years, thanks to the great role played by "Wu Mu's Suicide Notes".
Although Lin Pingzhi, who has read the original work, does not remember the exact location of "Wu Mu's Suicide Note", he probably remembers the existence related to this book of war—the Iron Palm Gang of Jianghu sect.
After Yue Fei's death, "Wu Mu's Last Letter" has been kept in the inner palace of Lin'an City. Later, the leader of the Iron Palm Gang sneaked into the palace to steal "Wu Mu's Last Letter" and put it in the holy place of the gang.
Therefore, if Lin Pingzhi wants to obtain "Wu Mu's Last Letter", he only needs to go to the Iron Palm Gang, and there is a high probability that he will be able to find "Wu Mu's Last Letter".
As for Huashan Lunjian, they were originally the five strongest masters in the arena today - "Dongxie" Huang Yaoshi, "Xidu" Ouyang Feng, "Southern Emperor" Duan Zhixing, "Northern Beggar" Hong Qigong, "Zhong Shentong" "Wang Chongyang held a martial arts competition to compete for the "Nine Yin Manual".
In the first Huashan Discussion of Swords, Wang Chongyang, the "Zhong Shentong" successfully won the "Nine Yin Manual" with his overwhelming strength. The other four were not convinced, so they agreed to come back to Huashan Discussion of Swords 25 years later.
In the original book of Shooting the Condors, the second time Huashan Lunjian happened at the end of the plot, so Lin Pingzhi knew that he now had enough time to prepare for the third mission.
"I'm currently in Zhangjiakou, not far from Yanjing. I don't know if Mu Nianci is in Yanjing now. If he is, then I must go there." Lin Pingzhi thought.
Yanjing, the capital of the Kingdom of Jin, that is, the ancient Beijing, can be reached by riding a horse in two or three days from Zhangjiakou.
This city is also the place where Mu Nianci made his debut in the original book.
"Young master, please do me a favor and give me something to eat!"
Just as Lin Pingzhi was walking leisurely and thinking about his next move, the shout from a beggar on the side of the road interrupted his thoughts.
He turned his head to look, and saw a disheveled old beggar kneeling by the side of the road, holding a broken bowl and looking at him beggingly.
Behind the old beggar, a little beggar with a dirty face, who looked only fourteen or five years old, was leaning against the corner of the wall, looking up at the sky with ecstatic eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing Lin Pingzhi stop, the old beggar's eyes lit up, as if he had seen hope, he continued to plead miserably, "Master, for the sake of us, young and old, please give alms."
Lin Pingzhi glanced at the little beggar, then at the skinny old beggar in front of him, sighed, took out a tael of silver from his pocket and put it into the broken bowl.
"You two should break up."
"Thank you son! Thank you son! You are so kind, may God bless you!" Seeing Lin Pingzhi's generous hand, the old beggar kowtowed repeatedly.
Save a tael of silver, enough for the old and the young to have enough to eat and drink in the next one or two months.
Lin Pingzhi nodded calmly, without any joy or pride in helping the weak in his heart, because he knew that the lives of the two beggars in front of him could not be changed with just one tael of silver.
He was not a very good person, but since he met such a beggar and he happened to have plenty of money, it would be all right to give alms.
Traveling across the world can only bring some personal belongings. When he came, he only brought ten taels of silver and ten taels of gold.Now it's just a tael of silver, and the remaining money is enough for him to live in this world for a period of time.
When he adapts to life in this world, he will not worry about not making new money with his skill and cognition level that is nearly a thousand years higher than this era.
goo—
Suddenly, a slight sound of hungry stomach came from the little beggar. The little beggar recovered from the blue sky, looked at Lin Pingzhi, and said, "I don't want money. If you really want to help me, give it to me." Just something to eat."
The voice was bright and crisp like a silver bell, which made Lin Pingzhi slightly taken aback, with surprise and astonishment appearing in his eyes.
No way?Is it such a coincidence?Did he really meet the heroine of this world?
Taking a closer look, this little beggar is indeed full of doubts.
Obviously his face was dirty and messy, but the skin on his neck and wrists was as white as snow.A pair of eyes are piercing and lively, without the sense of decadence and vicissitudes of ordinary beggars, nor the humble feeling of begging for years.
"Young master, don't blame him, this child hasn't eaten for many days, and he is so hungry that he is dizzy."
The old beggar gave the little beggar a hard look, then held the silver in the bowl tightly in his hand, smiled at Lin Pingzhi and said, "There is a butcher shop at the corner of the street, the roast duck in it is very delicious. Go buy it right away and let the poor child have a good meal."
After speaking, he got up quickly, walked quickly towards the end of the street, and disappeared from Lin Pingzhi's sight as soon as he turned the corner.
"Don't look, the other person is probably gone now." The little beggar smiled while looking at Lin Pingzhi, "I was not with him at all, he came to me to beg on purpose, I used it as a begging chip."
"So that's how it turned out. That old beggar is quite clever, and he knows how to take advantage of vulnerable groups like children." Lin Pingzhi smiled amusedly, but didn't pay much attention to the one tael of silver that was cheated.
He looked at the little beggar, changed his mind, and tried to invite: "I happen to be going to eat now, little brother, would you like to do me a favor and taste this Yanjing delicacy with me?"
The little beggar was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Pingzhi carefully, then nodded and said with a smile: "Since this young master invites you kindly, then I will not be respectful."
The little beggar stood up and walked generously to Lin Pingzhi's side. His confident and calm attitude was not at all like a beggar who sleeps out.
The smile on Lin Pingzhi's face became even wider, and he became more and more sure that this little beggar was the one he thought of.
He didn't say anything, and under the weird gazes of others, he walked into the nearby teahouse with the little beggar so unhurriedly.
"Xiaoer, let's have a pot of good tea first."
"Okay, guest officer, what do you want to order? Our restaurant has everything from delicacies of mountains and seas to home-cooked side dishes!"
"Tch! You really know how to talk big, and you're not afraid of flashing your tongue." Hearing the exaggerated introduction from the shop waiter, the little beggar curled his lips in disdain.
Seeing that he was looked down upon by a beggar, the waiter in the shop immediately became furious, "What do you know, a beggar?! If it weren't for the kindness of this young man, you probably wouldn't even have the right to see delicacies!"
When the little beggar stepped into the teahouse, he was almost kicked out by him. If it hadn't been for the noble young man in front of him who spoke, he wouldn't have let the little beggar walk into the restaurant and dirty the tables and chairs!
