Chapter 23 Encounters
Jiang Xing went all the way to the east, basically rushing during the day and resting at night, and after leaving the Sword Sect, he brought a lot of gold and silver with him, but he often went to some remote places, and there was no place to spend the silver.
At night, when I go to a deserted place, I have to find a cave or make a cover on a tree branch to barely make a living.
The weather is fine, but if the weather is not beautiful, there is no way.
In the evening, when he branched out to a small village and town, Jiang Xing didn't plan to leave, because the sky was overcast at this time, and the wind was slowly rising, and he didn't want to be caught in the rain anymore.
After entering the town, I learned that this place is called Xia Village. Jiang Xing asked where the inn was again. Then he dismounted and led the horse all the way to the town.
The inn is not far from the front of the town, Jiang Xing has just walked to the door of the inn, the inn is also magnificent, there are four stories high. Xiao Er, who was standing at the door, stepped forward and reached out to take Jiang Xing's reins and said, "Childe, do you want to eat or stay in the hotel?"
Jiang Xing handed the reins to Xiao Er and said, "Stay in the hotel." ”
Xiao Er smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you to arrange the guest room first, and then pull your horse to the backyard for you to be fed." ”
Jiang Xing nodded, expressing satisfaction.
Xiao Er took him into the inn, there were more than ten tables and benches on the first floor of the inn, it seems that this is the place to eat in the lobby, and there are also three or five tables of guests eating, and several people are talking happily.
Jiang Xing followed Xiao Er up the second floor from the stairs on the left, and the second floor was much more elegant, with the same dozen tables, but the environment was elegant and quiet. Climb the stairs again.
Xiao Er looked at Jiang Xing and said, "Childe, the first and second floors are the places to eat, and the third and fourth floors are the places to stay, and they will be there soon."
Xiao Er took Jiang Xing to stop in a house on the left side of the third floor, Jiang Xing was quite satisfied with the house, it was still very clean and tidy, and he reached out and took out some broken silver from his arms and gave it to Xiao Er.
Xiao Er smiled even more. Hurriedly asked: "Childe, if you are hungry and the little one prepares you something to eat, or if you need to wash up or something, just tell me." ”
"Well, prepare some hot water, I'll wash my face, eat, and I'll go down and see for myself in a while." Jiang Xing nodded.
"Okay, the little one will step back and bring you hot water later. ”
After a while, Xiao Er brought a pot of hot water, and then went down and said that he was taking the horse to the backyard to feed and drink.
After Jiang Xing finished washing, the sky was slightly dark, and it was already raining outside when he sat down on the second floor, so he ordered two or three dishes, ordered a pot of wine, and poured himself a drink.
Jiang Xing ate for a while, stood up with a wine glass in his hand, walked to the window, slowly pushed open the window, the gap was not too big, for fear that the rain would float in and pour on his body, his left hand was behind him, and his right hand was holding the wine glass, raising his head to look at the gray and rainy sky. Unconsciously recalled all kinds of things in the Zongjian Sect, and I don't know how Daya was doing at this time, is Wang Yingqian still that cold............
With this in mind, he raised his glass and drank it all.
The liquor was in his throat, and he let out a slow breath, and when he looked out again, he saw a row of black shadows coming this way outside the town.
When I got closer, I found that it was a carriage, followed by more than a dozen people in robes, who looked not very embarrassed in the rain.
Jiang Xing looked at the group and sighed a little, it was not easy for the world to be bustling for profit, and the group also stopped downstairs at the inn. It is like you want to stay.
Xiao Er said this to the person who led them with an umbrella, and after a while they led the carriage to the backyard, and when they were leaving, the leader seemed to see someone upstairs looking at him, and looked back.
His gaze was opposite to Jiang Xing's, Jiang Xing did not dodge or dodge, nodded lightly, the leader was wearing a robe, and his sight was also excellent, and he could see Jiang Xing clearly on a gray rainy day, and he also nodded back, and then turned around and led the convoy to the backyard.
The rain still drifted on Jiang Xing's clothes, Jiang Xing gently dusted off the water stains on his body, closed the window, returned to the table, and continued to eat and drink.
After a while, I heard the footsteps of the downstairs knocking and knocking, and a group of more than ten people walked upstairs under the leadership of Xiao Er with their wet coats. The first person who walked behind Xiao Er was not too tall and a head lower than Jiang Xing, his face was a little thick, his shoulders were very broad, and his dark skin showed that he was a person who had been running outside for many years. When I went upstairs, I glanced at Jiang Xing.
Jiang Xing glanced at it and didn't care, he ate by himself, or the person with a generous face Xu changed into a short dozen clothes in the guest room, maybe the original clothes were wet by the rain. The man walked back from the third floor and came straight to Jiang Xing's desk.
Yuan's left hand was on the fist held in his right hand, and he said: "Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, Wang Sishi, Guan Gongzi has an extraordinary appearance, he has the heart to get acquainted, and he hopes that Gongzi will appreciate the light!"
Jiang Xing stood up, looked at the person in front of him, saluted back, and said without changing his face: "Fourth Master Wang, look up for a long time, Jiang Xing, please take a seat." ”
Wang Sishi also pulled out the stool and sat down, and said: "I glanced at Gongzi downstairs just now, and then went upstairs to take a look at Gongzi, knowing that Gongzi is by no means an ordinary person, so he has the heart to get acquainted, but it seems abrupt." ”
"Fourth Master Wang, Liao praised, it is also my honor to have the honor to know Fourth Master Wang. ”
Wang Sishi laughed and said, "Where is Jiang Gongzi from without asking?"
"In Xia is a person from Yuzhou. ”
"Good place! Cumulus Mountain, the largest mountain in Yuzhou, the Longitudinal Sword Sect on the mountain is still familiar with our Zhenyuan Dart Bureau. ”
Jiang Xing smiled when he heard this, and his face did not change.
At this time, Xiao Er brought a lot of dishes and a few pots of wine, Jiang Xingzheng wondered, Wang Sishi smiled and said: "Brother Jiang, I want to make you a friend, this is what I ordered, today you and I will have a good time." ”
Jiang Xing smiled and nodded.
I want the new sect master of the Sword Sect to hold a ceremony at that time, my eldest brother and second brother are going, and I haven't had time to rush over because I am outside, and I have never met the sect master of the Sword Sect.
Jiang Xing was relieved when he heard this, and smiled: "There will be a chance in the future." ”
"Well, it seems that I heard that the sect master of the Zongjian Sect has the same surname as you, and his surname is Jiang, at that time, the sect master Jiang fought against the dragon and tiger gate Qingfeng Zhai and was undefeated, and several nearby sects couldn't see the situation clearly, and no one dared to intervene, but I didn't expect that the Longhu Gate was eaten by the Zongjian Sect in turn, and Qingfeng Zhai heard that it also lost a lot of money to the Zongjian Sect. ”
"Oh, I've heard about it too, but I don't know how much outsiders will pay. ”
"Well, it is rumored outside that Sect Master Jiang has already conceded, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”
Jiang Xing touched a glass with him and drank it all and said, "Although I am in Yuzhou, I am only in Qinhuai Town, and I am still far away from the Vertical Sword Sect, so I know very little about this matter. ”
"No hindrance, no hindrance, let's gossip, I'm just to make Brother Jiang your friend, I'm in Chuzhou, if Brother Jiang passes through Chuzhou in the future, you must come to my Zhenyuan Dart Bureau to sit, so that I can do my best to be a landlord." ”
Jiang Xing smiled and said yes.
After Wang Sishi left, Jiang Xing called Xiao Er to prepare to settle the bill, Xiao Er told him that Wang Sishi had already pressed a gold ingot on the counter.
Jiang Xing smiled when he heard this.
