    Lao Ning's shop was only for neighborhood business in Baoning Square, and also catered for several nearby inns. Therefore, it only had an entrance. When Ye Chang and Shanzhi entered, there were already many people sitting inside. Waiting for those few  After the naturalized Hu people came in, it was even more crowded.  It is midsummer again at this time, and the air is already very hot. Summer is the saddest time of the year in Chang'an City. Even Li Sanlang in the palace cannot bear the heat, so he takes the beauties in the palace to escape the heat every year.  So many people suddenly crowded into this small shop, and an unpleasant smell suddenly emitted.  And the provocative gaze of the naturalized Hu people makes people feel the unstable atmosphere flowing even more.  "Don't pay attention to them now. Let's leave after eating. There are Wuhou in the neighborhood. If they dare to cause trouble, they will be dealt with by Jingzhao Prefecture." Ye Chang whispered, Shanzhi snorted, he was just fighting.  Not afraid.  ¡°But Ye Chang knew in his heart that in a city as big as Chang¡¯an, fights broke out in the streets and alleys, and by the time Wu Hou, who was responsible for apprehending the suspects, arrived, they would have basically ended.  He was wondering whether he should avoid it first. At this moment, there was another noise outside the door, and then, a shirtless man came over again leading a group of people.  These people were making a lot of noise, which immediately turned everyone's attention. The big man in the lead had the words "I will not be afraid of Jing Zhaoyin in life" tattooed on his left arm, and the tattoo "I will not be afraid of King Yama in death" on his right arm.  All have tattoos.  He had the loudest voice and walked as if there was no one around. He stretched out his hand to push aside a pedestrian who blocked his path. It looked like he was a ranger or scoundrel from Chang'an City.  "We won a great victory today. Those soft-footed shrimps in Jinrenfang have learned a lesson this time!" "Fifth Brother's champion general is so powerful. He killed Ma Laosan's Kyushu Generalissimo. If it weren't for Ma Laosan,  If you take action early, I'm afraid the champion general will peck the Kyushu Grand Marshal to death! " "That Ma Laosan is really irresponsible. Last time, my fire wings were pecked to death, but I didn't say a word and went home to stew!  Soup!" Hearing them talking like this, Ye Chang noticed that the shirtless man at the front was holding a chicken with few feathers in his hands.  There were still stains of blood on the chicken's body and beak, and its eyes were looking around with great vigilance.  At this time in Chang'an, cockfighting was still popular. Jia Chang was an illiterate child, but because he was good at raising cockfighting cocks, he won the trust of Li Longji. He entered and exited the palace without any restrictions. His father died in other places when he was traveling with Li Longji. Wherever the coffin passed, local officials  They scrambled to hold the rope to express their condolences.  As the saying goes, "You don't need to be literate to give birth to a child, fighting cocks and running horses is better than studying." This legendary experience makes every young man in the city yearn for it.  The scoundrel Xiao Bailang, known as the fifth brother, is such a character. He led his brothers and just defeated his opponent. At this time, he was excited and high-spirited. He couldn't help looking at the heroes in the world: "What the hell is Ma Laosan?"  This thing, if I have good luck, will fly as high as Jia Chang's son!" He was just talking, and when he was passing by the group of barbarians, he loosened his grip a little, and the cock flew away.  Ye Chang's heart moved slightly, and he secretly thought that he was lucky. He immediately stood up and said: "Catch the chicken!" The chicken originally flew towards him. Although it was a fighting cock, he was also afraid of strangers, especially when he roared.  , the chicken suddenly clucked, flapped its wings, and flew directly to the other end.  On the other side are those barbarians.  They were also stunned, and then the fifth brother Xiao Bailang rushed over: "Hurry and help me catch the chicken!" The scoundrels rushed up. They were used to doing whatever they wanted, but this was Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.  The barbarians from all over the world, whether they were naturalized or not, had to keep their tails down when they arrived here, instead of being like later generations, where even a Kunlun slave and a Silla maid dared to be arrogant.  Therefore, they had no fear of these barbarians and rushed over, overturning their tables and knocking down their people.  Although those Hu people are naturalized Hu people, they have not shed their wild nature after all. They immediately quit and jumped up to cause trouble.  Xiao Bailang caught the chicken at this time and was carefully watching whether the chicken was injured. He ignored these barbarians for a while.  One of the barbarians was angry. He drew his sword and swung it. The chicken's head flew up and its blood rushed into Xiao Bailang's face.  "The champion general has been killed!" "Damn it! This chicken is worth at least a hundred thousand coins!" "Fifth brother is still relying on this chicken to make money!" When the gangsters saw this scene, they were stunned.  At this time, in Chang'an City, a good fighting cock could be worth the entire belongings of a middle-income family.  Xiao Bailang took all he had and got this chicken. He also expected that if everyone took it for granted, he could even get a wife. However, he never thought that he would be beheaded by this barbarian with a knife.  .  "Champion Hou!" Xiao Bailang was stunned and stopped for about two breaths before he realized what he was doing and yelled.  His fighting cock was originally named Champion General, but this time he defeated the Grand Marshal of Kyushu.He felt that it was time to change to a more resounding name, and he had been thinking about it for a long time, and it was this champion.  But before the name was officially changed, the chicken had already lost its head in two places, which can be said to have ended his long-held dream!  His eyes suddenly widened, staring like a wolf at the barbarian wielding the knife.  "Fifth Brother, beat up that bitch!" The scoundrels all have the temper to make trouble over nothing, not to mention that now that they are being bullied by others, they all start to make noises.  "Bullshit, this is the Ning Family Soup Cake Shop. I don't want to ruin the old Ning Family's business. Come out with me." Xiao Bailang took a few steps back and slowly exited the shop: "You dare to kill me  The champion must have the consciousness to risk his life. "After he walked out, his hand suddenly shook, and the headless chicken corpse was thrown out, hitting the face of the barbarian who was wielding the knife, and then his  His hand reached out to his lower back, and when he pulled it out, it was a shining dagger.  After he quit, the other gangsters also quit the Ning family soup cake shop. The Hu people didn't care about Ye Chang at this time. They all pulled out their swords and winked at each other.  The number of barbarians is three, and the number of scoundrels is eight.  The barbarians had waist knives in their hands, but the scoundrels only had daggers. Some of them didn't even have daggers, so they simply carried Mazhahu beds to use as weapons.  Seeing that the two sides were about to get into trouble, another shout suddenly came from outside: "Xiao Laowu, what do you want to do?" However, several Wuhoupu soldiers patrolling the streets came over. They were affiliated with Jing Zhaoyin and have been here all year round.  Wandering around, I naturally met Xiao Wulang, the tyrant of Baoningfang.  Xiao Bailang's eyes were like wolves, and he stared back: "Brothers, if you dare to kill my fighting cock today, you will dare to sell sesame cut cakes for 160,000 yuan per cart tomorrow If you brothers don't want to be beaten by your neighbors,  If you scold me, just pretend you didn't see it. It's all up to you brothers whether you want someone to be punished or put in jail!" When he said such cruel words, the soldiers in Wuhoupu looked at each other: only a mortal enemy would let Xiao.  Bai Lang is like this!  At this moment, a man who looked like Hu Shang ran over in a hurry. Seeing the situation here, he let out a sigh, then bowed to Xiao Bailang and said: "Brother Xiao, Fifth Brother, these are my guests."  , I bumped into Fifth Brother, please forgive me!" "You Xi slave, you actually have such an unscrupulous guest, you even dare to kill our Fifth Brother's fighting cock, you know the current market in Chang'an City, don't talk about that fighting cock!  It¡¯s worth two to three hundred coins. If you forgive me, you¡¯ll let Fifth Brother go drink the northwest wind?¡± ¡°There are some scoundrels who know what¡¯s going on. If there is a fight today, let alone the outcome, the soldiers of Wuhoupu will clean up the mess afterwards.¡±  Go to Jing Zhaoyin to get a job.  Seeing the ridicule Hu Shang come forward to mediate, the man who knew what happened started shouting.  Hu Shang, the Xiren, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile: "That's natural. We can't let Fifth Brother's champion general lose his life in vain In this way, I have five gold ingots here, which are worth three hundred coins, so I will compensate you."  Fifth Brother. Also, when Fifth Brother is free, I will serve wine to Fifth Brother at the Zhaixing Tower in Xishi. "Zhaixinglou was a barbarian restaurant opened in Xishi, Chang'an during the reign of Emperor Taizong.  Serving him a drink to apologize was really a great honor.  Xiao Bailang was not a fool. Since there were steps to go down and benefits were obtained, he immediately said: "Xi Daxun, I will give you this face, but we, Baoningfang, cannot keep these guests of yours. Let them take advantage of them."  Before the curfew, get out of Baoningfang immediately!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, the bastards from outside came to our Baoningfang to bully the Tang people. How can this happen?¡± ¡°Get out, get out!¡± ¡°Those barbarians are all familiar with the Tang Dynasty.  The Mandarin speakers, upon hearing such scolding, raised their eyebrows and raised their eyes, obviously unconvinced.  But Xiao Bailang crossed his arms and sneered: "I, Xiao Bailang, came from Jiannan Road to Chang'an City. The only way I can win the love of these brothers is to say one is one and two is two. Xi Daxun, you can do it yourself.  "After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. The scoundrels followed him, glaring at the barbarians as they walked.  This conflict was quite unprovoked. When Xi Dalxun found out the reason for the conflict, he came to look for Ye Chang and Shanzhi who were sitting in Lao Ning's shop, but found that these two people had gone somewhere long ago.  "Xi Daxun, that Tang Gou must be watched closely. If he comes to Chang'an to inform the emperor, then the commander-in-chief will be in great trouble!" One of the Hu people said in a low voice in Hu language.  "Hush, there are many people in Chang'an who speak Turkic language, so don't talk nonsense here." Xi Daxun snorted, feeling extremely unhappy.  These people relied on the commander-in-chief and his own soldiers, Yiluohe, and never took people like him seriously, and acted without scruples - it didn't matter if they were placed at the border, but where was this? This was Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.  !  Even if you are chastising yourself, you still have to be honest here and don't dare to act wildly.  "Why don't you enjoy the excitement?" Shanzhi, who was dragged away by Ye Chang, was a little unhappy: "Those barbarians and poor monks have long been disgusted with them."   "It doesn't matter if you go to the theater, but it will be troublesome if you act in it yourself." Ye Chang shook his head: "Both sides are not on good terms, but this is Chang'an, and there should not be a real fight. When the two sides talk about the cause of the incident,  We are just afraid of being angry." "Did you drive that chicken over here?" "That's natural. I don't like those barbarians, so I want to cause them some trouble." Ye Chang laughed.  It was close to the curfew at this time, and the two of them could not leave the workshop, so they wandered around Baoning Square.  Baoning Square is the first row of squares east of Zhuque Street. It is the smallest among all the squares in Chang'an, but it is also 514 meters long from east to west and 477 meters wide from south to south.  It will take some time to complete the transfer.  After half a circle, they were about to return to the inn when they saw more than ten scoundrels squatting on the street corner. The leader was none other than Xiao Bailang.  "It seems like there's trouble again." Shanzhi chuckled.  Ye Chang raised his eyebrows. He had just done it covertly. He originally thought that the scoundrels would not notice this detail. But now it seems that he really underestimated these scoundrels.  "Boy, you just stir up trouble and leave. What a plan to divert trouble to the east." Xiao Bailang laughed, stood up, spit out the dogtail horse grass stems in his mouth on the ground, and walked towards the ground step by step.  Ye Chang came.  Ye Chang scratched his head. When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain why. What's more, when he meets a rogue, he can't solve the problem by talking.  "Tell me, boy, how are you going to compensate for my chicken?" "I didn't kill that chicken. Of course, I know you won't listen to it." Ye Chang said with a smile: "If you don't fight, I'm afraid  It won't solve the problem Don't glare at me, I can't fight." "Huh?" "But the monk can do it. You can fight him alone, and you can all fight him in a group." Ye Chang.  As he spoke, he took a few steps back and pushed Shan Zhi out without mercy.  Why do you keep this delicious monk by your side? Isn¡¯t it just for moments like this?  Shanzhi was not worried, so he bowed to Xiao Bailang.  But before he could finish the salute, a fist as big as a sand bowl flew in front of him and hit him hard on the right eye socket. He staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground.  "Huh?" Ye Chang was stunned for a moment. Isn't this monk a Shaolin monk? Isn't he a martial arts master? Isn't he claiming to be a man who can't even get close to ten or twenty big men?  Ye Chang was stunned and Shanzhi covered his eyes, but those ruffians were not stunned.  Someone had already come around from the side, and a brick hit Shanzhi on the head as he was about to get up, and immediately knocked the monk back to the ground.  "No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you will be knocked down by one brick!" Such words flew out of Ye Chang's mind, and his body finally took action: move forward!  Not turning around and running away, but moving forward!  When he launched Shan Zhi, he thought Shan Zhi was a master, so he retreated to a safe place.  But now when he realizes that Shan Zhi is not as powerful as he imagined, his choice is not to run away, but to step forward and fight side by side with Shan Zhi!  He caused the incident, so he must deal with the consequences!  Those scoundrels never let him go. Two people had already surrounded him, but he advanced instead of escaping, leaving them empty-handed.  He rushed over, raised his fist, and was about to rescue Shanzhi, but then he felt a shock in his chest. Xiao Bailang had left Shanzhi and punched him in the chest.  No matter in his past life or in this life, Ye Changke was not a good fighter, so he received the punch firmly, and then he was kicked again, and he fell to the side.  After receiving these two attacks, if Ye Chang's body bones were not still strong, he would probably fall to the ground and be unable to get up.  "Monk, I've been deceived by you!" Ye Chang thought sadly and angrily, and then used a trick!
