Act 80! [Praying Mantis] (II)

Not long after the fairy-like guest "Xuexi" arrived at the Heartfelt Restaurant, Shopkeeper He received his biggest order in recent years. The content of this order is not to set up a banquet in his heartfelt restaurant, but to "specialize" thousands of jars of aged "heartfelt drunkness" in three days, and by the way, ask the shopkeeper He to borrow some chefs to go to Lufu to prepare in these three days.

At first hearing, Shopkeeper He was a little hesitant, but when the housekeeper of Lufu offered a generous remuneration as a deposit, Shopkeeper He readily agreed. The ingredients don't need to be from the restaurant, you only need to provide some chefs who are good at making dishes that people love to eat in the Northern Desert, and the aged "drunk" with the special supply of thousands of altars, which is tantamount to sending money to the shopkeeper He, don't do it in vain.

Soon after receiving this order, the shopkeeper He had already informed the chefs in the heartfelt restaurant in advance, who were the best at making dishes that the people of the Northern Desert loved to eat, and informed them of the time according to the requirements of the Lufu housekeeper, told them what to do, and repeatedly told them that no matter what happened at that time, everything must obey the arrangement of the Lufu housekeeper.

After that, the shopkeeper He began to arrange for the guys in the restaurant to get busy, although it was a big order to send money to him, but to provide Lufu with a thousand altars of special "drunkenness" within three days, after all, it is not a small amount.

There are about 800 jars of aged special offerings in the cellar of the Sincere Restaurant, and they will not be easily taken out to entertain guests unless there are special circumstances. And for the rest, I'm afraid I have to find a way to make a "lot of money", so if this is the case, I am afraid that the "drunkenness" that can be sold in the restaurant now is a bit insufficient.

For the sake of this business, Shopkeeper He crossed out several tables of wine banquets booked in the Heartfelt Restaurant in the past few days. Qianyu Fenghua silently watched the busy figure of Shopkeeper He here, and showed a satisfied smile.

The guys ran to the cellar of the Heartfelt Restaurant, carefully put out the jars of "Yixin drunkenness", and processed them for the second time according to the meaning of the housekeeper of Lufu. Shopkeeper He did not relax in the slightest from beginning to end, and stood aside very seriously, standing with the guys to the end, for fear that something would go wrong in any link.

When Liu Fengsoul came to the Heartfelt Restaurant, it was already dusk in the evening. There aren't many people in today's restaurants. At first, Liu Fengsoul thought it was caused by the heavy snowfall in the past few days, but after thinking about it, the snow stopped today, and the business here should be more lively.

After stepping into the door of the restaurant, Liu Fengsoul only saw the busy guy, but didn't see the shopkeeper, so he grabbed a guy casually and asked, "What's going on, why are there so few people here today?"

The guy wanted to find a reason to prevaricate casually, but when he saw that the person who came was Liu Fengsoul, the second son of the Liu family, he hurriedly said politely: "Ouch! Second son Liu! What kind of wind blew you over!"

Liu Fengsoul said impatiently: "The first day I met Uncle Ben? ”

After hearing this, the guy immediately looked panicked, for fear of snubbing Liu Feng's soul, so he explained to him: "Liu Ergongzi doesn't know, at noon, my shopkeeper took over a big business, and now the guys in the whole restaurant are busy." ”

Liu Fengsoul: "What big business?"

The guy looked around and saw that there were no acquaintances, so he whispered to Liu Fengsoul: "Lufu came to us and ordered a thousand altars of 'drunkenness', a thousand altars! Not only that, but also borrowed a few of our top cooks here, think about it, is this business big?"

Liu Feng's soul was thoughtful: "I bought wine and borrowed a cook? What kind of big banquet is this going to hold in Lufu?"

Man: "Those cooks are not simple, they are all the best cooks in our northern desert here! The barbarians who often come to our restaurant like to eat their dishes, and they all say that they have the taste of hometown." ”

Liu Fengsoul smiled: "There are ten marquis, twenty-six monarchs, and thirty-four tribes in the Northern Desert, and most of the wild lands feed on cattle, sheep, horses, and grass, and a few tribes have not yet been civilized and eat human flesh, the taste of their hometown?

"Second Prince Liu is well-informed, and the little one admires it from the bottom of my heart!" the guy smiled, "Actually, the little one also listened to what our shopkeeper said, and there is no deception or exaggeration, so don't blame the second son of Liu!"

Liu Fengsoul didn't want to embarrass the buddy, but said: "Let me ask you, is there still a 'drunk' sale here now? Or is it still the same as some time ago, as soon as the business is good, you will run out of stock?"

Man: "I have to ask the shopkeeper about this, I don't know if it's small." ”

Liu Fengsoul let go of the hand that picked up the man, and urged: "Go and call the shopkeeper He to me, just say that I want to find him, go quickly!"

"Okay, you can sit here for a moment!"

As soon as Liu Fengsoul's words fell, Xiao Er took the road and left. So, Liu Fengsoul sat alone in the heartfelt restaurant that was quite deserted at the moment, waiting for the shopkeeper to come out.

In fact, there are still people coming and going in the restaurant, but there are not so many people compared to usual. After all, there are still some "distinguished guests" living in the restaurant itself, and it is impossible for the shopkeeper He to neglect these "distinguished guests" for the sake of this big business.

At this time, Meng Jian also happened to be one of these "distinguished guests". Meng Jian, who woke up after a good night's sleep, actually wanted to sleep all the time, but he was worried that Lian Mu had something important and he was not there, which led to him being made difficult by Lian Mu in the future, so after some struggle, Meng Jian still went out.

As a result, under the ingenious arrangement of fate, from a hurried glance in the vast sea of people on the evening of October 6 to a meeting again on the evening of October 15, exactly nine days have passed. At that time, Meng Jian didn't think that the man who glanced at him in a hurry nine days ago would meet him again in the Heartfelt Restaurant, just like Liu Fengsoul would not have thought that the man in front of him would become the lord of the country many years later.

Time goes back to this moment of the second reunion.

Meng Jian, who had just stepped out of the door and had not walked a few steps, and Liu Fengsoul, who was waiting for Shopkeeper He downstairs, accidentally found each other again. Meng Jian's memory is very good, and Liu Feng's memory is not bad, so this makes the reunion of the two very embarrassing.

At this moment, Meng Jian wanted to pretend that he didn't know Liu Feng's soul, but unfortunately, Meng Jian's eyes betrayed him. Liu Ergongzi has been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he is naturally not stupid. In the country of Shu, the Liu family is the first family, who has he been afraid of?

Since Lian Mu and Meng Jian met, the cynical big brother basically told him a general situation within the current Su Kingdom, and repeatedly emphasized that he must not provoke the "Three Friends of Jibei" and the people related to them.

How to identify the method of "Jibei Sanyou", Lian Mu told Meng Jian. The main thing is to see if there is a corresponding family crest on his clothes. Han's red plum, Xia's Qingkui, Meng Jian has already seen it in Guangqi Courtyard, and now in the Heartfelt Restaurant, Meng Jian has seen the rumored purple willow.

At this time, the soul of Liu Feng was dressed in a brocade robe with purple willow patterns, and the "broken green underworld" was hung on his waist. When the eyes of the two met in this cold heartfelt restaurant, Meng Jian, who was supposed to leave as soon as possible, was suddenly stopped by Liu Fengsoul: "This brother, please stay." ”

As a result, Meng Jian was so frightened that he hurriedly avoided Liu Fengsoul's gaze, and quickened his pace, as if he didn't hear Liu Fengsoul's voice, Liu Fengsoul, who was sitting downstairs, saw this, and then frowned: "What about you, that one in white, why is he running so fast?"

At this time, Meng Jian just went downstairs, heard Liu Fengsoul say this, and then put Lian Mu's previous advice behind, and glared angrily at Liu Fengsoul: "How did you talk?"

Liu Fengsoul saw that this kid actually dared to cross with him, not only was he not angry, but he felt a little interesting, so he got up and slowly walked towards Meng Jian step by step. Meng Jian, who originally wanted to pretend not to know Liu Feng's soul, was provoked by his words just now.

As a result, the little overlord of Autumn Leaf City in the wild goose country in the past, and the little overlord of Mingyue City in the dream country met in this way in the heartfelt restaurant at dusk on October 15, ready to fight at any time.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell through the windowsill into the inch of land in front of the two, and the wind lifted the hair hanging in front of Liu Feng's forehead, Meng Jian did not speak, and let the man circle three times in front of him.

Interestingly, Qianyu Fenghua, who was resting, was unexpectedly disturbed by the noise downstairs at this time, so she got up and came outside to find out what was going on. As a result, I heard Liu Fengsoul ask Meng Jian: "We, have we seen each other somewhere?"

Meng Jian: "At this time nine days ago, I first came to Mingyue City in a carriage, and you were carrying a woman to Mirror Moon City. ”

When Liu Fengsoul heard this, this kid had a good memory, and not only remembered but also dared to say it: "Friend, you are quite bold?"

Meng Jian frowned: "How do you say this?"

Liu Fengsoul: "I remember at that time, did you say that I was a flower thief in the carriage?"

Meng Jian was puzzled: "How do you know?"

Liu Feng: "I heard it in the wind. ”

Meng Jian: "In the wind, could it be that you have ears for the wind?"

Liu Feng Soul: "Martial artists above the ninth order have good hearing. ”

Meng Jian thought to herself, "It seems that there is still a high-level martial artist in front of him, and the hero will not suffer the immediate loss, so he should find a chance to slip away", so his tone softened slightly: "I was talking to myself. ”

Liu Fengsoul: "Of course it's okay if I don't hear it, but since I've heard it, then we have to settle some things." ”

Meng Jian listened to it and smiled: "What's the matter, the Liu family, the first family of the Shu Kingdom, actually wants to openly blackmail an unknown person like me here?"

Liu Fengsoul was stunned when he heard this, and thought, "This kid actually knows that I am from the Liu family and is still with me?" It's getting more and more interesting, you have to tease him, otherwise it's too boring to wait for the shopkeeper here", so he said angrily: "Presumptuous, since you know that I am from the Liu family, you dare to talk to me like this?"

Meng Jian smiled: "So what? My eldest brother Lian Mu! If you have a kind of trouble, you will go to him for trouble! It is very rewarding to bully an unknown person like me here?"

Liu Fengsoul: "Which Lian Mu?"

Meng Jian: "Lian Mu, the commander of the three divisions of the Frost Sword!"

Liu Fengsoul heard it, "Yo, there is actually a backer behind him, and he is still the newly appointed Frost Sword Third Division Commander Lian Mu" But after thinking about it, he was pretending to be sick these days and not going to work, if he let the man in front of him know who he was, and told Lian Mu about it, it would be bad.

Although Liu Fengsoul was not afraid of Lian Mu, what he was most afraid of was trouble, so he said politely to Meng Jian: "It turns out that Your Excellency is an official?

Before Meng Jian met, the man's attitude was instantly much more polite after hearing Lian Mu's name, and he sighed secretly in his heart: "? It turns out that Brother Lian is so famous?

Seeing that the attitude of the Liu clan in front of him was good, Meng Jian was also a smart person, after all, this was not Autumn Leaf City, and he was not familiar with it here, so since this Liu clan person gave him the steps, then Meng Jian naturally couldn't be a fool: "Be polite, in fact, I am in the frost sword, but I am a miscellaneous man!"

Liu Fengsoul frowned, and thought to himself, "Your eldest brother is Lian Mu, and he will let you do chores in the Frost Sword?

After an embarrassing polite smile, Liu Fengsoul said politely: "If you can join the Frost Sword, even if it is a miscellaneous job, it is also an official, I don't know what this official is called?"

At this time, Meng Jian couldn't stand such flattery. Especially the other party is also a child of a well-known family in the country. Before meeting, this person was so polite, Meng Jian immediately relaxed his vigilance a little: "Under Meng Jian." ”

Liu Fengsoul shook his hands: "It turned out to be Brother Meng, look up for a long time!"

When Meng Jian heard this, why was this person suddenly so polite? So he also politely replied: "Fortunately, I don't know what this brother is called?"

Liu Fengsoul thought for a while and said, "My surname is Liu." ”

Meng Jian waited for a while, and the man didn't continue before meeting, and then understood that he didn't want to tell him his full name, so he also got interesting: "Hello Brother Liu, if there is a rude place just now, don't blame it, the main thing is that there is something important to do, so I am a little impatient!"

Liu Fengsoul: "Brother Meng is polite, I was also a little excited just now, and said some ugly things, you don't have to take it to heart!"

At this time, Shopkeeper He came to the hall under the leadership of the guy who was frightened by Liu Feng's soul before: "Yo, it turns out that Meng Gongzi and Liu Er Gongzi know each other?"

After hearing this, Liu Feng's brows furrowed, and he glared at the shopkeeper He who appeared at an inopportune time, but the shopkeeper He first looked at Meng Jian, who looked a little wrong, but did not look at him: "What are you two talking about, talking so speculatively?"

At this time, Meng Jian roughly guessed who the person in front of him was after hearing Shopkeeper He say that this person was the second son of Liu, so he didn't pay attention to Shopkeeper He, but just waved his hand to Liu Feng's soul: "Brother Liu, I still have some things, I will retire temporarily, and we will meet here again if I have a chance!"

Liu Fengsoul smiled, thinking that this kid was a little interesting: "When it's okay, basically I will appear here in the evening, like your eldest brother Lian Mu, I like to watch the sunset here." ”

Meng Jian: "Okay, if you don't get drunk another day, you won't return." ”

Liu Fengsoul waved his hand and said, "We will meet again." ”

Meng Jian thought to herself, "You'll be able to do it again!"

The shopkeeper He on the side looked at the two of them suspiciously: "What's the matter, I just came to Meng Gongzi and am leaving, why don't you talk for a while, I'll go to the back and be busy for a while, and then call me after you finish talking?"

Meng Jian replied to Shopkeeper He smiled slightly, and waved his hand goodbye: "Shopkeeper He, see you later." ”

After the words settled, Meng Jian disappeared into the afterglow of the sunset without looking back. As everyone knows, Qianyu Fenghua, who was isolated in the shadows at the moment, had already heard the whole process of Meng Jian and Liu Fengsoul's conversation intentionally or unintentionally. Looking at Meng Jian's disappearing figure, Liu Fengsoul said to himself: "Soon, we will meet again." ”

At this time, Shopkeeper He interrupted inappropriately: "Second son Liu, I heard that you have something to do with me?"

Liu Fengsoul came back to his senses: "Yes, I'll come to you again to go through the back door and buy a few pots of 'drunk' to take away." ”

Shopkeeper He showed an embarrassed expression: "I have a big order today, and I bought a thousand jars of 'drunkenness' from me, and that second son of Liu ......"

Liu Fengsoul: "I'll buy two pots." ”

Shopkeeper He: "This is a bit difficult to do, the inventory is tight!"

Liu Fengsoul: "Ten times the price of a pot." ”

Shopkeeper He: "I'll arrange it for you." ”

Liu Fengsoul: "It should be aged." ”

Shopkeeper He: "Okay!"

......

Akzati hasn't seen Sinzaima for a long time. When he learned that Xin Zaima was injured because of the incident in Qi Temple, this "tragic death arrow" who killed people without blinking an eye actually revealed a rare sadness.

At this moment, Gu Yina and Lu Weiwen were discussing in the hall, while Akzati was staying by Sinzaima's side, and his memory retraced some of the past experiences they had experienced together. In his heart, Akzati silently prayed to the Holy Lord for Sinzaima, hoping that she would get well soon.

As a result, Sinzaima, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up when Akzati closed his eyes and prayed: "Zatisar, why are you here?" ”

"Sal" is an honorific title in the language of the barbarians, and has no special meaning. Perhaps it was because she had seen a familiar face, so Sinzaima did not use her broken Chinese language to submit to Akza at this time.

When Akzati saw Sinzaima wake up, he said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I am not by your side when such a big thing happened." ”

Sinzaima smiled: "I was too careless." ”

Akzati: "If I had been there, it wouldn't have happened, so it's still my problem." ”

Sinzaima: "Zatisar always likes to take all the blame on himself, so it doesn't feel very hard. ”

Akzati: "It's hard to live, so what's the matter if you have more or less. It's just that this avoidable thing, which happened because of my negligence, is really unreasonable. ”

Sinzaima patted the back of Akzati's hand: "It's not Zatisar's negligence, it's my own self-confidence that I let down my vigilance, so that the enemy can take advantage of it." ”

Akzati: "I won't leave for this time, I will stay here with you until you are as alive and active as before." ”

After hearing this, Xin Zaima was a little anxious: "I'm actually almost fine, it's okay, Zatisar should accompany Mr. more, she is about to die of exhaustion during this time! ”

"Does she really need me now. Akzati fell into self-doubt, "I don't feel like I'm in the way." ”

Sinzaima comforted: "How can it be, Zatisar is the most outstanding marksman in the entire Northern Desert, who dares to be presumptuous in a place with you!"

"My mouth is so sweet, I don't have anything to reward you" Akzati pursed his lips and made a smiling expression, "I heard Gu Yina say that when the Qi Temple incident happened, it was a son of a family named Liu Fengsoul who saved you?"

Sinzaima: "yes, what's wrong?"

Akzati: "I want to thank him in person. ”

Sinzaima: "The gratitude of the 'Arrow of Sorrowful Death' is a great honor, I think it's better to forget it, Sinzaima doesn't want Zatisarti to owe himself favors." ”

Akzati: "In my eyes, you are like my sister, this person saved my sister's life, according to the etiquette of the Chinese people, we should follow the local customs, and say thank you." ”

There seemed to be tears in Sinzaima's eyes

"Zatisar ......"

Akzati patted the back of Sinzaima's hand lightly, signaling her to relax: "Tell me, where is this righteous man now." ”

As soon as Akzati's words fell, Liu Fengsoul slowly stepped through the gate of Lu Yuan with two pots of "drunkenness": "Sir, I'm back, and today I have two more pots of "drunk", let's continue to drink!"

Akzati frowned when he heard this, and Sinzaima told him at this time: "The Liu Feng Soul you are looking for is now back. ”

Sinzaima's words deepened the doubts in Akzayma's heart, and he whispered to Sinzaima: "You wait a while, I'll be back later." ”

In the hall, the topic that Lu Weiwen and Gu Yina were discussing was diverted because of the appearance of Liu Feng's soul. The eyes of the young man fell on Gu Yina's eyes, his speed of speech was unhurried, but like a slender finger plucking the guqin, pulling the strings in Gu Yina's heart: "Sir, the 'good time' you have been waiting for has come." ”

Then, Gu Yina followed Lu Weiwen's gaze and looked at Liu Fengsoul who had just entered the door suspiciously: "What, Liu Ergongzi not only brought back wine when he went out this time, but also brought back some good news?"

As soon as Liu Fengsoul entered the door, he was instantly stunned when he heard this: "Why is Mr. Gu here, have you come to see my Mr. Lu again?"

Gu Yina: "Your Mr. Lu?"

Liu Fengsoul: "It can't be your Mr. Lu, right?"

Guina: "......"

Lu Weiwen on the side reminded: "Don't mess around." ”

Liu Fengsoul smiled: "I'm just kidding!"

At this time, Akzati suddenly appeared, looking at Liu Feng's soul incredulously: "Liu Su, why are you? It's really you!"

Lu Weiwen: "?"

Guina: "?!?"

Liu Feng's soul: "......"

Just when everyone was puzzled, Akzati saw the two pots in Liu Fengsoul's hand and was "drunk": "Did you buy this for me?"

Liu Feng's soul: "I ......"

Akzati: "It's worthy of being the first good brother I met in the country of Shu, it's righteous enough! Why haven't I heard that you have another name called 'Liu Feng Soul' before! I didn't expect it to be you who saved Xin Zaima, fate! Hahaha!"

Between the words, Lu Weiwen and Gu Yina suddenly looked at each other and smiled, roughly guessing that Liu Fengsoul was going to make friends outside in the name of Liu Su, the head of the Liu family, but Liu Fengsoul's trick is estimated to only deceive those newcomers.

Liu Fengsoul smiled awkwardly: "Why are you here?"

Akzati: "Naturally, I came to see Sinzaima. ”

Liu Fengsoul: "That's such a coincidence!"

Akzati: "Did you come to see her too?"

"No," Liu Feng said, "I'll live here!"

When Akzati heard this, his eyes suddenly showed rare joy, if there was anyone in this world who could make the "melancholy god of death" show joy, then this person would only be Liu Feng's soul.

Akzati: "Do you really live here?"

Liu Fengsoul: "Of course, otherwise where would I live?"

Akzati: "Okay, I'll live here in the future!"

Lu Weiwen: "!!"

Guina: "???"
