晚春時節最是百般花開勝放,天色碧如將洗過的玉,一點點若有似無的霧氣縈繞在西方江口那片遠山的腰間。420Please respect copyright.PENANABSmKy4eRb3
坐擁大江大原的魚米之鄉慶州,就好像沒受到連年饑荒與戰亂的影響,在其首府慶燕城中,除了偶爾能在巷弄口多看到幾個乞兒之外,還是那歌舞昇平、熙來攘往的繁盛景象。420Please respect copyright.PENANAVHr50I6Kcl
420Please respect copyright.PENANAoie1DnuM08
今日正是天高雲闊的好天氣,從西邊通州駛來的客船在吆喝聲中靠上江邊的碼頭。420Please respect copyright.PENANAecEm4J25V6
早晨微風徐徐地吹著,撩起了船艙口的簾帳.掀翻開來的那角正巧被一把劍柄挑開,一個穿著黃衫的少年風也似地鑽了出來,不等船家把麻繩捆上船栓,腳尖幾步點著船沿翻上了碼頭,一聲吱嘎──420Please respect copyright.PENANAcIatbfRaYh
「唉唷我的屁股,再擠一會兒都要變成十二瓣囉──」少年一邊嚷嚷著,一邊伸了個大懶腰。420Please respect copyright.PENANA6dpjxx0mFi
420Please respect copyright.PENANA4v0FK7B58Q
「小醇,你是怎麼說話的?竟這般口無遮攔。」船艙裡傳來略帶薄責的清朗喝斥,隨即響起的還有一陣兩人的竊笑聲。420Please respect copyright.PENANA1ueEYoTMsV
420Please respect copyright.PENANAjoTkfHHMsu
「二師兄,我這不是悶壞了嗎。況且我還能怎麼說話,怎樣也都是大師兄教的呀!」那黃衫少年一雙圓亮大眼無辜地朝後望去,稚氣未脫地噘起嘴,竟是在撒嬌。「大師兄你說是不?」420Please respect copyright.PENANAIXOffnzdpt
年方十三的穆醇身為小師弟,完全將自己身為老么的本事發揮得淋漓盡致。420Please respect copyright.PENANAGMXZ3xdOsf
420Please respect copyright.PENANALHPphf4pwi
除了大師兄就沒人治得住這幫崽子。420Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ms0TApB0G
裏頭的那人無奈地嘆了口氣,讓穆醇咯咯咯地笑開,頗為得意。420Please respect copyright.PENANAGFr0zHZG3F
420Please respect copyright.PENANAdSwEGYwpgK
簾帳後頭又鑽出一個翠色短衫的獨眼少年,以及一個穿著青藍短褂的俊秀少年。420Please respect copyright.PENANAx5kpG2bngm
兩人都是輕裝打扮,獨眼少年甚至還披散著頭髮,只用頭帶固定住,很是不羈;另一個少年腰間插著扇子,文不文、武不武,卻又意外和他氣質。420Please respect copyright.PENANAVZNKQOc9hH
420Please respect copyright.PENANAH0GaF5TAKT
「你還有膽拖大師兄下水,看待會大師兄醒來不罵你個臭頭。」獨眼少年促狹嘲笑著隔艙撒嬌的穆醇。420Please respect copyright.PENANA2UaKD7N1Ee
420Please respect copyright.PENANA5DtmCt9iay
「就是說啊!」那個青藍短褂的少年則是配合地露出一臉鄙夷的神色,挑釁一般斜睨穆醇。420Please respect copyright.PENANA3l1PrXI1CZ
且不說大師兄會不會訓斥穆醇,總之趁著大師兄還未醒來之前,能虧穆醇一句是一句。420Please respect copyright.PENANAGmqKDLEffI
420Please respect copyright.PENANAEAS1QfPbUC
獨眼的少年衣領還縫著一圈毛皮,看著有些畏寒,正是師兄弟裡行五的木萼。420Please respect copyright.PENANAOzc1MZaFDM
而旁邊恥笑穆醇的青褂少年則是師門裡行六、只比穆醇高上那麼半吋的聶兼儀。420Please respect copyright.PENANAAvWUFs4Z4d
420Please respect copyright.PENANAot5fdSTYhj
穆醇赤子心性,被他們擠兌得一下子急了,偏偏這些日子裡,衝動的他被再三告誡在山下不能隨意動手,這下只好指著木萼與聶兼儀大聲告狀,要英明的二師兄給自己撐腰:「二師兄!你瞧他們!這回挑事的可不是我!」420Please respect copyright.PENANAkJ0aDerf8D
420Please respect copyright.PENANAl95RQSHy2J
可這時,好不容易停好的船上,卻不是身為二師兄的閻異開口,反而是一個略帶惺忪的脆亮嗓音罵道:「什麼亂七八糟的狗屁!傻老七,你是怕沒把我吵得耳聾嗎!一路上簍子還捅得不夠?信不信我把你當魚餌綁了扔進江心,釣隻大魚給師兄幾個晚上加菜?」420Please respect copyright.PENANAW0nxqhZO21
420Please respect copyright.PENANAG79QkIXXBV
「噗!」木萼被自己嗆了一口。420Please respect copyright.PENANAJ59Cdeczv3
這大半月聽了各種路數,但大師兄罵人的方法還是這麼……創新啊。420Please respect copyright.PENANAJg1wXvmcAR
420Please respect copyright.PENANAa8RGEmmP92
「哈哈哈被當餌食哈哈哈哈哈──」聶兼儀已經捧著肚子蹲在碼頭旁邊笑得後仰前翻,引得一旁搖渡的船家側目。420Please respect copyright.PENANAxQ1BVLkzrM
420Please respect copyright.PENANARwZOKiCTED
「大師兄……咱們還是先下船吧。這會兒可已經到慶燕了呢。」閻異苦笑規勸。420Please respect copyright.PENANASPAD2hcezl
420Please respect copyright.PENANA4fjnhmzIyW
那大師兄似乎也是贊同,船艙裡傳出一陣衣料包袱的摩擦聲。420Please respect copyright.PENANA9l878qzV8S
420Please respect copyright.PENANAdFKxw0nBpr
「哎,老子的酒都快被搖沒了……異,待會先去找間酒店吧。」420Please respect copyright.PENANARKZTJir7YX
420Please respect copyright.PENANA45IrOCRuKx
「大師兄覺得行就去吧,阿昕幫著大師兄拿師傅的琴,我的自個兒來就成。」420Please respect copyright.PENANAoibhYysycM
420Please respect copyright.PENANAOOqcIqQxSK
「嗯。」420Please respect copyright.PENANAKajwlLaLn7
420Please respect copyright.PENANAHoY0r9erEK
船家忍不住暗暗翻了個白眼,這幾個是哪來的江湖人啊?420Please respect copyright.PENANAg7tjZg8plo
他記得上船時那個「大師兄」一身白衣帷帽活像戴孝不說,渾身都像是冰堆裡出來的寒氣,一開口卻是火爆至極,就差嘴裡沒含著爆竹的插鞘而已。420Please respect copyright.PENANAfT1qFIxIYo
420Please respect copyright.PENANAUL4HU5Qmj5
雖然幾個少年對他沒有失禮之處,這一路上吵吵鬧鬧可沒少過,甚至有幾次還差點弄翻了他這小客船。420Please respect copyright.PENANAk4mBPeqNJS
但從頭到尾,賠罪道歉管束的多半都是那個挺拔俊雅的「二師兄」,而那個「大師兄」呢?除了罵人之外,就是一直望嘴裡灌酒,直到半路把自己灌得睡著了,直到現在才醒來。420Please respect copyright.PENANAHu4sNJbRJi
這可不?一醒來又是滿嘴劈哩啪啦的沒個停。420Please respect copyright.PENANAWSmGgNZntT
420Please respect copyright.PENANA5bEB7X4aDO
最後三個少年很快也翻身上了碼頭,閻異向船家結清了餘銀,和其他幾個師弟一起清點行李,那白衣少年似是要透口氣一般取下了帷帽,雙眸因為覺得光線刺眼微瞇,朝四周掃了一眼。420Please respect copyright.PENANA8LGlmfWtTr
這下可把船家看得兩眼發直。420Please respect copyright.PENANAIbXnkPfvh4
這……這小子的臉也生得太好了……莫不是女扮男裝吧?但就是姑娘家也沒一個比他俊俏的哪。他在這條垣慶江上行船,也有二十好幾個年頭了,還是第一次看見這樣好看的長相。420Please respect copyright.PENANAPMwRYDQHEo
420Please respect copyright.PENANATvLJOySdvA
不待船家細看,白衣少年很快地又將帷帽戴了回去,和其餘幾個師弟一同往城裡走去,只留下那船家摸著腦袋,滿臉的困惑。420Please respect copyright.PENANAnX6zQCsCs0

慶州西面接壤擁有大片平原的通州,再往北就是京都所在的原州、東南面則是群陵環繞的雲州;北有一條貫通東西的垣慶江,下有斜入雲州的麓江,二江之間大大小小的人工漕河與田壑彼此錯落、連綿不絕。420Please respect copyright.PENANAtY39xkmE0C
420Please respect copyright.PENANARaw92EYszv
這垣慶江江面波光粼粼,青天綠地在春日凌晨的雨露洗刷過後,透著一股清爽的風情;碼頭邊小販的叫賣聲和搬貨工人的吆喝此起彼落,為這如畫的光景添上絢麗的活力,更是欣欣向榮。420Please respect copyright.PENANAjONHIf0ya3
慶洲的首府慶燕,深具交通樞紐與土地肥沃的優勢,再加上商農並行、地處國家腹地位置等等緣故,慶燕城幾乎有不輸給京都的華茂風光。420Please respect copyright.PENANA2Zk8FcteK9
420Please respect copyright.PENANA9p9g6uL15D
慶燕既為首府,自然有著慶州的州府,連帶慶州許多商號的本行、大家族的本邸也座落在其中。而在幾個地紳世族裡,就屬安、蔣、郭、平四家最有名望,也最有財勢。420Please respect copyright.PENANAa4BhpSpBOm
420Please respect copyright.PENANACyi2LmJwWl
安家歷代出了許多士子,從前朝就是官宦之家;平家則是以習武聞名,尤其是出了開國幾代大將軍,風光無限;而蔣家與郭家則是一南一北的商業大族,族人遍佈全國各地,尤其,蔣家在漕運這塊的建業,甚至連出海的大船都能造,郭家也不遑多讓,黑白通吃,在慶、通二州地界,甚至運貨連保鑣都能省了,直接亮出郭家的證狀,就是山賊也禮讓三分。420Please respect copyright.PENANA7UIT6MMlhL
420Please respect copyright.PENANAxAmcSZoU4c
幾個少年這次的目的地,便是這郭家的本家大邸。420Please respect copyright.PENANAFIGe9ZWEgQ
420Please respect copyright.PENANAG29Oz21sWM
他們從疏堯山一路緊趕慢趕,好容易用了不到半月的時間,加上輕功和驛站賃雇的快馬,才能在他們師傅所說的日子前趕到這慶燕來,還來不及領略一下城市的繁華,卻先從路上行人中聽說了慶燕近來的新聞──420Please respect copyright.PENANAHMrnvUcSlS
420Please respect copyright.PENANAUfqr0DddEg
慶燕郭家的家長,郭老爺子,三月二十七要過七十七歲大壽,當日還要宣布一件大事。420Please respect copyright.PENANAw3h6MGUUgf
420Please respect copyright.PENANA4NThSzVWlg
「這是要說小師妹的事吧?」穆醇八卦地湊到師兄們面前擠眉弄眼。420Please respect copyright.PENANA9czpPGBO4g
420Please respect copyright.PENANAnIimjzWAmI
他們原本要先找家酒店祭一祭大師兄五臟六腑裡的酒蟲,不料才剛在這堂裡坐下不久,穆醇便從隔壁桌聽來這個「新聞」,他才沒辦法忍住不和師兄們說呢。420Please respect copyright.PENANAfQ9hXU9gEU
420Please respect copyright.PENANAnSjLZ0Cpqx
「要真是這樣也就輕鬆了。」聶兼儀眼珠賊溜溜地轉,露出一抹和清秀長相不搭調的意味深長來,壓低聲音道:「可師傅來信叫上咱們,事情恐怕沒那麼簡單。」420Please respect copyright.PENANA4SJvKsxJEC
420Please respect copyright.PENANAhObmpYXvyq
木萼的手探進自己袖內撫摸自己的蜘蛛,一下山大師兄就讓自己把寵物藏起來了,可憐他的寶貝悶了這大半個月,都不能出來透透氣……420Please respect copyright.PENANAzmMOsbxslG
他慢悠悠地接口:「七十七歲大壽當日宣布找著孫女?打得真是好好的主意,也不知道是捧小師妹,還是捧自己?」420Please respect copyright.PENANAIYNmjciiFe
420Please respect copyright.PENANAtjEnZMLcKt
「現在還藏得那麼小心,肯定是要讓小師妹委屈……怕是他們還有別的打算,否則就算不認,趕出去也不必顧忌才對。」聶兼儀接著說。420Please respect copyright.PENANAc1nMMKuj8A
420Please respect copyright.PENANACZ8c3OBrOF
閻異和木萼一齊點了點頭。420Please respect copyright.PENANAc8PFB2MaFA
看了一眼因為戴了帷帽不便大口飲酒,只能用杯子一杯一杯朝嘴裡灌的風亦陵,閻異輕聲道:「兼儀所言不無道理,但出了個江湖女兒的名聲,對郭家這樣的家族也沒那麼大的壞處,小師妹有師傅護著,也不至於被逼著做什麼才對?」420Please respect copyright.PENANAoeSxlVJ0mK
420Please respect copyright.PENANASzR1vewC2u
穆醇搖了搖頭,「二師兄,這深宅大院裡的水可髒了,尤其是郭家這種滿屋子油水的。我說句話你們別不愛聽,小師妹在他們眼中,可以用的方法多了去了。」420Please respect copyright.PENANA9QVCyP4Lme
這也是為什麼他明明也有個家,卻從來不想認回去的原因。420Please respect copyright.PENANAtyLe1K1lou
420Please respect copyright.PENANAJZKeRwyrqo
「莫非小醇你也是這樣家底的人出來的?」聶兼儀不以為然地挑眉,「小師妹不想做的事,難道還有人能逼她?」420Please respect copyright.PENANALvqpdfafAx
420Please respect copyright.PENANAnKiDVwen1S
穆醇哼了一聲:「不信拉倒。六師兄,你真是井底之蛙。」420Please respect copyright.PENANAw8NHXdqiX9
420Please respect copyright.PENANAnG5X9iYjWw
「噯你!」420Please respect copyright.PENANAzLgvPTtuUQ
420Please respect copyright.PENANA5CR8HYZNxL
「少說點吧,從山上吵到這裡,難不成你們什麼都要搶白一遍?」木萼搖頭阻了兩人的鬥嘴,「這一路上,天天貧天天鬧,你們的嘴裡就沒半點清淨?學著點三師兄的惜字如金行嗎。」420Please respect copyright.PENANAm7J1824wlD
說著,他斜眼示意兩個師弟向身穿灰袍的同昕看齊。420Please respect copyright.PENANAtYSjX8F7Pd
420Please respect copyright.PENANAHLsZrkkDsO
「……」然而同昕只是抬起眼看了三人一眼,便再沒有其他反應。420Please respect copyright.PENANAa2PBDQuaSh
420Please respect copyright.PENANAn7zFlbcdj7
這個三師兄就是這模樣,他們從小長在一起,能聽見三師兄哼哼都難,何況回話。420Please respect copyright.PENANAMiev3mPczI
三人自討沒趣,木萼撇嘴、穆醇撇頭,幾個人都安靜了下來。420Please respect copyright.PENANARjmbl7MSXv
420Please respect copyright.PENANAZGGFm9j1iu
但聶兼儀卻搖頭:「就算我不懂這些好了,咱們這下該怎辦?怕是不好直接上去拍門吧?今兒個還只是二十四,要不咱們先在客棧裡待著,讓大白刀兒去給師傅報信?」420Please respect copyright.PENANAq70H6PQJBO
420Please respect copyright.PENANAFjPEvN9nYF
說著便看向坐在桌子對面的三位師兄,想得個准信兒──正確來說,他看的都是二師兄。420Please respect copyright.PENANA4gRUgmafu9
420Please respect copyright.PENANAEnJi4uhfQl
三師兄一向是以兩位師兄馬首是瞻,除了冶煉和習武,要從他嘴裡撬出個意見,就比疏堯山的雪一夕全化還難;大師兄鎮日除了練功、讀書和喝酒之外,就沒看過他做別的事;怎麼看都是這個二師兄還能給他們一些人情世故上的指導。420Please respect copyright.PENANA5utrIze2h2
420Please respect copyright.PENANAPl5TSNUWwD
果不其然,閻異緩緩開口道:「我們初來乍到這慶州,拜帖寫疏堯山恐怕也無人知曉,就算想請……」420Please respect copyright.PENANAxsX46VVAPS
他還想繼續說些什麼,卻被一旁風亦陵突然擱扣酒杯的動作驚得一楞:「陵?」420Please respect copyright.PENANATQJfprxUZf
420Please respect copyright.PENANA5CNzjVyDAL
「不必這麼磨磨蹭蹭。」風亦陵喝完了整甕的杜康酒,心情顯然比窩在船上的時候好上不少,清脆的聲音像是鈴兒響,帶著一絲傲然與惡意,幾個師兄弟彷彿看到帷帽後頭揚起的燦爛笑靨,「讓大白刀兒給師傅和小師妹報信。教他倆先給哥幾個摸熟了壽宴當日的安排……」420Please respect copyright.PENANAjE39sLlDAw
「師傅和小師妹定是受了委屈才要我們來,我們也不必給這勞什子郭家臉面,聽好了,當日要是沒大事,我們也就壯壯聲勢;但若是郭家不長腦子要欺負小師妹,哪怕小師妹只是斷了一根髮,你們就跟著我一起──砸了這狗屁壽宴!」雪白的指尖扣著酒甕的甕口,輕輕地敲打著,透露出主人歡快的心情。420Please respect copyright.PENANAPSFrotWCey
420Please respect copyright.PENANAf5OyMYREmz
除了一向沒表情的老三同昕,其餘幾人皆是一楞。420Please respect copyright.PENANAY2qAqEv3kh
420Please respect copyright.PENANAnEf1EU9OEj
「可……大師兄,這要真能砸,還需要咱們動手嗎?」聶兼儀有些錯愕地瞪著自己的大師兄,頗為遲疑的問道。420Please respect copyright.PENANAXExoGgF9hc
420Please respect copyright.PENANAoqrrVAnXc5
風亦陵豪邁地擺手,「放心,砸就砸了否則他們還能怎樣?」420Please respect copyright.PENANA4mkgEsn6tV
「不用擔心老四沒得玩──我在山下已經留了口信給他,這兩天他應該趕得上,真要不行,也不用幫他留份兒。師傅那麼懶,她的份兒也一併砸了給她開心一下。」420Please respect copyright.PENANA3Z2ZxAHF8q
嗯,師傅最喜歡熱鬧了。吵個歡天喜地,就當是告訴她自己把寒毒煉化的賭約,是自己贏了!420Please respect copyright.PENANAV5wBPfsRYH
420Please respect copyright.PENANA2Rcs60Kgfu
我不是這個意思啊!聶兼儀嘴角微抽。420Please respect copyright.PENANAYgCxzraWha
420Please respect copyright.PENANAj3rMhcfWZG
不過轉念一想,這也不失為是幫小師妹撐腰的方式,古來也只有拳頭大才有說話的份兒,只要他們底氣足,想來也不怕人欺侮到他們身上。上面可有師傅頂著呢。420Please respect copyright.PENANAxTTbFqoUsC
就算師傅懶惰,也有大師兄和二師兄呀!再不濟,他們三師兄可是有天生怪力,天塌下來也壓不著他。420Please respect copyright.PENANA66OBpohO57
420Please respect copyright.PENANAWqkhQmNOzR
況且……聶兼儀陰陰地笑了,不計老五跟他那些毒蟲毒蠱毒藥,他一向都是被上面四個師兄壓著打,最近連老七都快打不贏了,日日夜夜他都期待著有老七以外的人能陪他練練手,他可是很想知道自己在山下江湖裡,究竟是什麼個級別!420Please respect copyright.PENANAAsNr01KPY2
420Please respect copyright.PENANAwuq8gh7aDU
「這是不是說我能放我家孩子們出來晃晃了?」木萼一瞇獨眼,感染了興奮咧嘴笑開。420Please respect copyright.PENANAj8kOfDEIOj
420Please respect copyright.PENANAMUSvUhA7fe
風亦陵肯定般地點頭,「自然,只要不鬧出人命就行。在師傅和我面前,他們再沒度量,也得給我把這碴吞下去。」420Please respect copyright.PENANAC8pRHze1hg
420Please respect copyright.PENANAh1LksgspjW
閻異有些汗顏地還想開口勸,才將將張嘴,便被風亦陵塞了一杯熱茶堵住了話頭。420Please respect copyright.PENANAR4vOWwlcWA
420Please respect copyright.PENANAzJDtOYCJXi
「異,放心,我自有成算。」風亦陵拍了拍比自己還高半個頭的二師弟的肩膀,一副胸有成竹的模樣。420Please respect copyright.PENANAwNrDpOHGBs
420Please respect copyright.PENANArJPXucXnH4
看了看自家師兄豪氣挺起單薄身板的模樣,閻異也只能苦笑一聲。420Please respect copyright.PENANAgWZybqkxyt
罷了罷了……大不了,就先連郭家老小的傷藥也先替師兄弟們準備好了吧。420Please respect copyright.PENANAE8A87BIrLn
只要自家師兄弟不受傷,其他的後果,就由陵和他收拾也好……否則換了誰,他也都是不放心的……420Please respect copyright.PENANAgk3sY5mfak
