Chapter 51: The 'White Eyebrow God' Steals
There are a lot of high rollers, but there are not many guests like Li Jiuxiao, so in order to retain the refreshing diners at this table, the shopkeeper personally went to the kitchen to supervise the work.
Since the people are like a long dragon, the dishes are passed up one by one like flowing water, during which the shopkeeper came to change the two to the private seat, but was refused.
This place is in line with people's livelihood, and I am used to being cold and lonely, and suddenly I am in the crowd, and I feel fresh and lively.
The only fly in the ointment was that the tables around him were all occupied by the accompanying guards who had changed into civilian clothes.
"How does it taste?"
Li Jiuxiao sandwiched a meat dish and put it in Yin Bangmeng's bowl.
"The place chosen by the Lord tastes good, of course. ”
Yin Bangmeng replied with a smile in his eyes, but he only tasted a shallow taste of chopsticks for each dish, with a dignified demeanor and elegant manners.
To be honest, there is a reason why this restaurant is doing well, both in terms of taste and food presentation, the only fly in the ointment is that it is too greasy and the seasoning is too heavy.
Li Jiuxiao poured himself a glass of wine and saluted a young man in a green shirt and white coat not far away.
Drinking it all, the taste was light and fruity, the man had been paying attention to himself for a long time, and unlike those people in the market, this person didn't care too much about the beautiful Yin Bangmeng beside him, but seemed to be very interested in himself.
The young man didn't react much, and the dishes on the table didn't move.
'It's coming for me!'
Li Jiuxiao said in his heart, he didn't have much impression of this person, and he didn't have a reason to offend the other party.
"Have you eaten enough?"
didn't take the other party too seriously, Li Jiuxiao turned his head to look at Yin Bangmeng, who had stopped chopsticks.
"Hmmm......"
Yin Bangmeng took out an embroidered handkerchief from his inner pocket, wiped his mouth gently, and nodded slightly.
"I want to get out of town. ”
Li Jiuxiao looked at Yin Bangmeng and said softly.
Ignoring her surprised gaze, after beckoning Xiao Er to settle the account, he immediately stood up, and sure enough, the young man was also ready to leave.
The two of them walked out of the city very slowly, stopping at ten steps and stopping at nine steps, and they had to go shopping all over the commercial street of Nuoda, and the young man still followed unhurriedly.
"Would you like a bowl of tea?"
Li Jiuxiao pointed to the tea shop at the base of the city wall, he still remembered that he still owed the old man who was shaking the pu fan two bowls of tea money.
Seeing that Yin Bangmeng did not object, he pulled her to the tea shop.
The sun is high, the business of this tea shop is as good as in the past, groups of businessmen sit in the shade, drink tea in large gulps, and chat about what they have seen and heard from all over the world.
This is the traveling merchant in the heavenly court, since the heavenly court appeared on this continent, they have traveled around the world, selling all kinds of goods from the east, and there seems to be an inexplicable rule enveloping them, no one has ever questioned whether these people have come with other purposes, as if they have been doing business on this continent from beginning to end, but no matter where they go, eventually, they will return to the heavenly court.
"Boss, come two bowls of herbal tea!"
Li Jiuxiao glanced around, but didn't see the old man before, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"Come on!"
A middle-aged man dragged a long-spouted teapot, and an amber tea slipped out from the inside, carrying the heat.
After taking the sea bowl, Li Jiuxiao frowned slightly, the tea tasted dark and bitter, with a hint of strong medicinal taste, not as cool as before.
"Boss, this doesn't smell right!"
The man was stunned for a moment, poured a bowl, took a sip, and said with a strange face, "This guest officer, we are a time-honored brand, and it has been this taste since our ancestors!"
After that, he glanced at the gang of foot merchants, and got a cheer.
Yin Bangmeng, who was beside him, rarely drank the tea, and gently tugged at the corner of Li Jiuxiao's clothes with his jade hand, signaling him not to be too entangled.
'Jingle Bell...... Jingle ......'
A series of eight copper plates into the bowl.
"Last time, I was short of two bowls of tea money from your father, and I made up for it today. ”
Li Jiuxiao didn't wait for the man to answer, so he pulled Yin Bangmeng out of the city and left.
The man took out the copper coin in the bowl, looked at it carefully, and his face was even more strange, his father died early when he was a child, and now it has been thirty-two years, how can he owe tea money.
But there is never a fool in the face of money, and the man threw the eight copper plates into the money box, and turned again to greet the other guests.
The scenery outside the city is the same as before, the wheat waves are surging, as far as the eye can see, the thick rice fragrance is fragrant, and it is full of raw breath.
"At this point, it's time for your excellency to explain what you mean. ”
Before he had gone far, Li Jiuxiao turned around, and sure enough, the young man in white was still behind him, but there were more than a dozen burly men with swords, axes, swords, and halberds beside him.
Yin Bangmeng's willow eyebrows were upside down, blocking Li Jiuxiao behind him, looking at several people in front of him with a vigilant expression, and he didn't know when a fine iron long whip appeared in his hand.
"I hit it off with my son, and I want to invite my son to the cold house for a few drinks. ”
The young man bowed, his face accommodating and his demeanor humble, but his words were full of threats.
"Wait for a big dog, do you know who is in front of you?............"
Yin Bangmengjiao snorted, but was pulled behind by Li Jiuxiao and did not let her continue.
"I never talk to nobodies, I don't talk to them, I call them up. ”
The young man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he became even more curious about the fearless person in front of him, and said again, "It's sloppy, and it's called piracy." ”
"Stealing ......"
Li Jiuxiao thought for a moment before he reacted, this person is Yanagi Hui's younger brother, known as the 'White Eyebrow God', this person is a talent, good at sneak attacks, and once led 9,000 people from the Lu State against all the princes.
"What if I don't go?"
Li Jiuxiao touched his chin and looked at each other playfully.
"There's nothing to talk about over there!"
After finishing the words, the thief was like a dragon under his feet, bullying him forward, the cold light in his hand was dazzling, but it was a short dagger, the blade was shining, and he did not directly take Li Jiuxiao's life, as if he wanted to go around behind him and hijack him back to the village.
'Smack......'
A whip shadow swept by, and the long whip cast of fine iron went towards the thief like a spiritual snake, and at the critical moment, Yin Bangmeng stood in front of Li Jiuxiao again.
The thief did a two-week backflip, the whip shadow passed by, the fire flew everywhere, and a half-man-high stone was shattered under the iron whip.
"It's a hard idea!
The thief Tuo had a shoulder injury, but it was not serious, he still underestimated the woman behind Li Jiuxiao, but it was right, if he was not sure, knowing that there were bandits, how could he easily take them out of the city, wouldn't this be a sheep into the tiger's mouth?
The dozen or so bandits rushed up, although they were strong, they were all sturdy people, with flexible steps, although they couldn't get close quickly, but they could still protect themselves under Yin Bangmeng's long whip.
Li Jiuxiao's eyes flashed, these people are all good hands.
Thief Tuo looked at a gap, the dagger in his hand swung the long whip, and his left hand swung out with a palm, hitting Yin Bangmeng's chest directly, and more than a dozen people beside him slashed down with sharp weapons.
Yin Bangmeng's face was as usual, he retracted his whip and returned his hand, and with a palm of his left hand, the powerful qi wave scattered in a circle, and at the same time, the long whip of his right hand was swung out again, and he actually repelled the dozen or so people again!
