Chapter 29
Chapter 29
Pei Yuan had a bad taste in his mouth, and he said to Cheng Leixiang, "Since it is impossible to do anything, why bother feeling sad. I got a new song a few days ago, maybe it can help you get rid of the sadness in your heart."
Cheng Leixiang perked up with all his strength, "Oh? What song is that?"
Pei Yuan smiled and said, "This song is called "Swordsman". It needs a big man from Guanxi to sing it, so it will have charm."
At this time, several wealthy guests were led in by the brothel servants.
They chose seats in the front and happened to pass by the three people from behind.
One of the bearded guests couldn't help but glance at Pei Yuan.
Pei Yuan noticed it and turned slightly to look.
The noble guest had a majestic face, but also a look of vicissitudes. He looked at Pei Yuan and smiled first, "The young generation who travel around the world are still full of heroic spirit."
When the big men saw the bearded man talking to someone, they all stopped and looked at Pei Yuan and the others with undisguised eyes.
Pei Yuan didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
They were outnumbered now, and the words and actions of the guys on the opposite side seemed like tough guys who were used to the world. If a fight really started, they would probably suffer a loss.
You have to admit defeat when it’s time to do so.
Pei Yuan then raised the tea on the table and gestured in a friendly manner.
The hero smiled and smacked his lips twice, "Swordsman..."
His eyes became more and more lively, and he asked with great interest, "Your song is so pleasant to listen to. A man from Guanxi can sing it, but can a man from Yanzhao sing it? Write it down and let me see."
Pei Yuan saw that he had no ill intentions, so in addition to showing off his experience as a veteran in the industry, he also showed some admiration for the younger generation.
Unfortunately, I am a royal guard, boss.
Pei Yuan immediately declined, saying, "We are people of the Jianghu, we don't do literary things. Even if I want to sing, I'm afraid it will ruin the tranquility here."
The bearded man seemed to be tickled, muttering "Swordsman" with a look of loss on his face.
Then he turned around and looked at the people around him, "Clear the place. If you don't listen to this song, drinking won't be fun anymore."
Upon hearing this, the big men kept silent. They went to each table, put down pieces of silver worth more than five taels, clasped their fists and said, "I'm sorry for offending you. I'll make up for it a little and treat everyone to a drink."
Most of the people who live a life of debauchery in Jining City are businessmen, and the "Lanxianban" are no exception.
Seeing that this group of men were very sturdy and ferocious, no one dared to say much.
Some took the silver and left directly, while some of the timid ones didn't even dare to touch the silver and just got up and left.
Pei Yuan, Chen Toutie and Cheng Leixiang exchanged glances.
Cheng Leixiang shook his head solemnly.
He was the most skilled in martial arts among the three, but he was not sure, so Pei Yuan no longer had any hope of luck.
The rich man drove away the idle guests and had someone throw a handful of silver coins onto the stage.
The girls who were acting out the Dou E Yuan fan fiction were overjoyed and bowed politely before leaving the stage.
When Pei Yuan saw this situation, he knew he couldn't just deal with it casually.
So he took the initiative to say, "I have always wanted to comfort my brother, but the occasion is not appropriate. Since you are willing, I will listen to you."
The nobleman smiled nonchalantly and said, "What senior or junior? Just based on the title of this song, you can call me Brother Qi."
As he spoke, he pulled over a bench and sat down next to the three of them.
Pei Yuan clapped his hands to get the feel for the song, and then sang James Wong's "A Laugh in the Ocean".
"The vast ocean laughs, and the tide surges on both sides. Up and down with the waves, I only remember today."
"The sky laughs, and the world is full of ups and downs." "Who will win and who will lose will be known to heaven."
"The mountains and rivers are smiling, the mist and rain are far away."
"How much do you know about the mundane affairs of this world after the waves have washed away it?"
"The breeze laughs, yet it brings loneliness"
"There is still a glimmer of evening glory left in the heroic spirit."
"Everyone laughs, no longer lonely."
"The pride is still smiling foolishly."
The wealthy guest named Qi listened without blinking, and only came to his senses when Pei Yuan stopped talking abruptly.
He waved his hand.
Someone handed him a wine gourd. He took a big gulp and drank half of it without even taking a breath. He then exhaled the alcohol and sighed, "What a great man."
But after listening to the song, I felt even more uncomfortable. It was like the stuffy summer heat and the oppression that could not be escaped.
After silently memorizing the lyrics several times, the wealthy guest named Qi slammed the table and said, "I always feel like something is missing. Let me sing it again. Little brother, listen and see if it's right or not."
He immediately opened his mouth and expressed his feelings.
He has been through a lot in his life, and he has no idea how many grievances and emotions he has in his heart. When he sang this song, he even shed tears.
The hero named Qi sang it several times, and everyone had a sense of illusion when they heard the line "The heroic spirit is still there in my foolish smile". Could it be that he was the one singing it?
Pei Yuan, Chen Toutie and Cheng Leixiang looked at each other and felt that it was not advisable to stay here for long.
It's obvious that this rich man has a story.
Having a story usually means they have a criminal record, and if they continue to stay, they will inevitably get into trouble.
Pei Yuan immediately stood up and said to the noble guest, "Brother Qi, I have something else to do, so I have to say goodbye now."
"Huh? You're leaving now?" The wealthy guest named Qi felt quite disappointed.
He looked back and forth at the three people with sharp eyes, as if he saw their embarrassment, and said with some resentment.
"Well, meeting is the world of martial arts, wanting to forget is also the world of martial arts. Your lyrics and music today are enough to comfort me for half my life. Whatever you want, I can give it to you."
Pei Yuan wanted to extort a large sum of money from this guy, but he was in the mood for love and wanted to talk about money. It would be very bad if he angered him.
He didn't know what to ask for, nor did he know how sincere this noble man was, so he could only say, "If we are destined to meet again someday, how about continuing our friendship then?"
The noble guest named Qi drank the remaining half gourd of wine and said with emotion, "My fate with the martial arts world ends here. The world is in such a mess, who knows if there will be a tomorrow?"
After saying that, he looked at Pei Yuan again, and suddenly he was moved and said, "When traveling in the martial arts world, how can you not have a good weapon? I used to have a good sword, but I don't need it now, how about giving it to you?"
Pei Yuan felt that he was involved in the story again.
The wealthy guest named Qi did not wait for Pei Yuan's response. He turned around and gestured. Then a tall and strong man reluctantly handed over a long object wrapped in linen.
Pei Yuan took it subconsciously, and it sank as soon as he touched it.
He looked at Cheng Leixiang, hoping that this young hero would give him some advice.
But someone came in hurriedly and whispered in the ear of the nobleman named Qi, "Brother Qi, the situation in the city is a little tense. The governor of Hedao has transferred all the troops of Jining Military Preparations into the city, and is now expelling the wandering merchants and people from the underworld. I heard that the troops of Caopu Military Preparations are also moving towards Jining."
The wealthy guest named Qi was becoming increasingly bored. "Damn it, I can't even drink in peace."
Pei Yuan glanced back and forth between the two of them.
This Brother Qi is much more pleasant to the ear than calling him Big Brother Qi.
