Chapter 719: Prison in the City
After entering the city, the two walked along the main road of the central city until they could see the wall of the city within the city, and then the two sat down at the roadside wine stall.
The two looked at each other and smiled, both understanding the meaning of each other's smiles.
Gu Yu took out a money bag from his arms, poured the copper coins in the money bag on the table, and grinned: "Xiao Er, come to the pot of good rice wine and cook it for me." ”
The shopkeeper believed that he was a local, and he never looked down on these two poor sour people, so he rolled his eyes angrily and said: "This little copper coin can't be exchanged for good wine." ”
Gu Yu Hanhan smiled: "Don't worry." It's wine. ”
After speaking, he ignored the eyes of the shopkeeper and glanced back, and sure enough, after seeing the two of them shoot so shabbyly. The two men sent by the chief have already left.
As for why they chose such a street tavern, first, of course, the two of them didn't want to make too much noise, but the more important reason was because this is the place where all information and intelligence are at the forefront.
"The appetizers could have been better. I'm hungry. Lin Ji took out a silver ingot from his pocket and put it on the table.
Xiao Er just took out a pot of wine, and after seeing the silver ingot on the table, the wine jug in his hand trembled, almost didn't hold it steady, obviously didn't expect it, and then quickly picked up the silver ingot on the table, and after observing it to make sure it was true, he immediately held the turbid wine he had just brought and trotted into the kitchen.
After a while, the boss walked out with a jar of unopened wine.
This is obviously a big customer for him, and the war may be on the horizon. At this time, there are not many people who are willing to spend money, and they can't let the silver they get fly like this.
"Two sons, this is the best daughter red in our store, I don't know if I can get into the eyes of the two. After the boss walked out with some fresh muddy liquor, he said with a smile, but looking at the strange clothes of the two, although he was a little mentally prepared, he still felt that something was strange.
"It doesn't matter if the wine is good or bad, just add a few good dishes. Gu Yu obviously knew the boss's thoughts, but for him, wine was really dispensable, if he didn't need to go through a sense of ceremony, he would rather not have this wine.
"The sauce beef in the small shop is a well-known in this prison city, why don't you cut a pound for the two sons?" said the boss with a smile.
"One pound is enough, two pounds. Lin Ji said with a wave of his hand.
"Let's have a portion of braised pork. ”
"Okay. ”
"Another serving of clear tofu. ”
"Do you want to be so light. ”
"Oh, when you're old, you'll have to eat something light. ”
The three dishes were served quickly, because they were really light, and the small wine shop itself did not have many customers who would order so many dishes.
"Boss, don't be in a hurry to go, sit down and talk for a while, we invite you to drink." Lin Ji looked at the boss who was about to turn around and leave, and said.
"Okay, then I'll pour you two wine. ”
Lin Ji didn't seem to care. He said calmly: "I'll pour the wine myself." ”
The owner of the wine stall didn't bother to put a hot face on his cold buttocks, so he said happily: "Okay, then you can come by yourself!"
Lin Ji snorted.
Lin Ji poured three bowls of wine and divided them among the three people, without speaking, but first ate each of the three dishes first.
"Your beef tastes good, but it's a little thickly sliced. ”
After Gu Yu heard his words, the wine he had just drunk in his mouth almost squirted out.
"It's ............ It's still thick. The boss blushed slightly.
It's not that he cut it thick, it's that he cut it really thin, very thin. Because he is a big customer, he is very attentive, but he didn't expect to be found faulty.
"Do you think everyone is a senior brother......" Gu Yu glared at Lin Ji, "If you don't like it, don't eat it, leave it to me." ”
It's kind of saving face for the boss.
"Boss, I heard that there seems to be a war. Gu Yu inadvertently said. I didn't go on.
The owner of the wine stall thought for a while and nodded: "The two sons are outsiders at first glance."
You just came here today, right?"
"Hmm. Gu Yu nodded.
"That's right. You don't know that the great general Gu Tang entered the city a few days ago. I heard that he also brought an army of more than 100,000 people. Among them, 20,000 were the elite soldiers of the previous Northwest Army. But it shouldn't be going into the city, our prison can't fit so many troops. The boss said after taking a sip of wine.
"Yes, but I heard that the general no longer has military power. Lin Ji said with a frown.
"Oh, it's all about it. Your Majesty is now in Dugu Gorge. There is no one available at the moment, I don't think it's so strange, in the end, General Gu Tang's current position in the first place on the list of generals is still unshakeable. ”
Although the small people in the market are short-sighted. But the information they get is complicated, and they will always use their own logic to sort out a set of reasonable logic, and this logic is often right.
Lin Ji's face had a somewhat uncertain feeling, then Gu Tang must have reached some kind of agreement with the empress. So will my previous communication with him still be effective?
"Hey. Boss, have you heard that there are any cultivators in the city, but I heard that there are many cultivators in the Buddhist rebel army who are participating in the war, if we don't have cultivators. Then this battle is not easy to fight. Gu Yu dragged the stool to the boss, and whispered to the boss next to him when he was sure that there was no one around.
"That's natural, you've thought of it, can't the general think of it? There are quite a few cultivators in the city now. There are a lot of cultivators in the armies drawn from various cities, and this time the battle can be seen, and there are good fruits like the Buddha country. The boss said proudly. "At the table behind you, there were three cultivators who had just entered the city sitting the day before yesterday, each wearing a sword. Yushu is in the wind, but there are really many but the appearance is extraordinary. ”
"You've really seen cultivators, what did they say, our brothers have never seen each other. Boss, come and tell us both. Gu Yu poured a bowl of wine for the boss again and asked with interest.
"Oh, this ...... The cultivator said, I really listened, but there are some things we don't understand. It seems to say how high and high the other party's realm is, and we may need to find some ways to deal with him. ”
"Then did you finally figure out a way?" Gu Yu asked.
"Hey...... You won't be a spy in the Buddha Kingdom, right? The boss looked at Gu Yu with a curious face and said.
"Oh, even if we are poor and sour, we can still be spies, even if we are spies, we have to pretend to be rich. Gu Yu snorted coldly and said.
"That's right, your accents are ours as soon as you hear them. I don't understand the specific way, but there must be some way anyway. The boss took a sip of wine and said with a sip of his lips.
A jug of wine. The wine jar is not big, and fortunately, the bowl is small, but it can reach five or six bowls when it is full, and after drinking three or four bowls. Not much, either.
Bowl to bowl, the three of them still drank it all.
In the eyes of the stall owner, some Shinto young people squinted, as if they were drinking to the fullest, slightly drunk and slightly drunk. He muttered, "I really don't believe that those bald asses in the Buddha Kingdom can win against our generals. ”
"Hey....... It's hard to say. I heard that the leader of the Buddhist rebels is the reincarnation of the Buddha. And there is also Canghai City to help. There are a lot of people, our prison gate is not a big city, if they eat the scales and are determined to fight down, I'm afraid it will also be a tough battle. You don't know if you're late. The city wasn't so deserted before, and by this time, I'd already be full, and I'd still have time to chat with you, but now you can see that a lot of people here have already left. Even if you don't leave, you don't want to go out, maybe the people in the Buddha country will be saved. The war is merciless, two little brothers, the two of you should leave quickly after you finish your work here, don't look at the cultivators, they are all the same as us, they are all two arms and two legs. Nothing special. It's more important to live. ”
"Hehe, then thank you boss, we don't plan to stay here longer, we'll go back after finishing our errands. It's you. Be careful. ”
"Hey, I'm fine, I've lived here for more than forty years, and I know every slate here, and it's not so easy to get into trouble. Come on, come on, wine in the bowl, I'll go to work after drinking. ”
