Chapter 272: Ancient Road Tea Shed
The breeze is like a wadd, the willows are like rain, the faint dark clouds hovering in the sky above Fengyang City, and the rain falling from the sky gently washes this thousand-year-old city.
On the ancient road outside the north gate, a leafy willow tree flutters in the wind, and the thin raindrops are like crystal jade beads, sprinkled on the verdant willow branches, glowing with a fresh luster, exuding the breath of spring.
In the tea shed not far away, a melodious and melodious piano sound passed away with the wind, like the call of the world, floating in the misty smoke.
Following the prestige, in the corner of the tea shed, a young man in a purple robe was flicking the strings of the piano, only to see his eyes closed lightly, his demeanor elegant, and his handsome face revealed a faint temperament.
At the end of the song, the purple-robed young man slowly opened his eyes, looking at the crowd outside the tea shed, he just smiled indifferently, and then picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip gently.
After half a ring, the onlookers gradually dispersed, but there were still many people who stood and waited, and some people simply sat in the tea shed, they seemed to be unsatisfied, looking forward to the next song of the purple-robed youth.
Seeing that the tea shed was full of people, the owner of the tea seller was smiling, and he did not forget to pour tea for the purple-robed young man while gathering tea customers, after all, it was the other party who attracted so many guests for him.
"Lao He, your brain is quite active, you actually came up with such a way to attract tea customers, and now you have to make money every day. A big man drank all the tea in the bowl, grabbed the refreshments on the table, and said while eating.
Boss He hurriedly ran over, poured tea into the bowl of the big man, and said with a smile: "My thirteenth master, if you want to say this, you can torture the villain, I get up early and run this tea shed greedily, only earn a few hard money, it would be good to be able to feed a family, why not think about making money every day." ”
When a farmer heard this, he nodded and said, "Alas, Lao He is telling the truth, people like us are satisfied if we can eat a full meal, and we don't think about anything else, and we don't dare to think about anything." ”
"Thirteenth Master, why do you have time to come to Lao He's tea shed to sit today?" A middle-aged man in a gorgeous costume took a sip of tea, then picked up the folding fan on the table and fanned it gently.
The big man known as the Thirteenth Master looked back, hurriedly stood up, hugged his fists and said: "It turns out that Brother Li is also drinking tea here, just now he just listened to the sound of the small bullet, and he really didn't notice you, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”
The middle-aged man in Huafu smiled and said, "What, doesn't the thirteenth master have to guard the city gate recently?"
Sighing lightly, Dahan said: "Brother Li, you know, this north city gate is only ten miles away, and there is no one around, just such a few people, why do you need to guard it?"
The middle-aged man in the Chinese costume folded the fan in his hand and said: "The thirteenth master is really a blessed person, holding the city lord's mansion, and being so free every day, it really makes me feel envious." ”
"Bullshit enjoys, guarding outside the north gate every day, you can't get any oil and water, it's really telling people not to live!" the big man spat on the ground.
The man in Chinese clothes said softly: "A month ago, I still believed you when you said this, after all, Shui Lingyingyue has been in charge of Fengyang City for more than two years, and this girl is ruthless enough to crack down on exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes." However, a month ago, didn't the Holy Shield Sect send a new city lord, and it was a good idea to set up a name, how could you not get oil and water?"
After glancing around, the big man said in a low voice: "Brother Li, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other." That new city lord is the confidant of Elder Gu, and naturally works against the Water Moon Pavilion, in order to win over the Ancient Heavenly Gate and the Lanting Villa, he allows these two disciples to be rampant, lawless, how dare we pull teeth from the tiger's mouth?"
In the distance, seven or eight figures suddenly came out of the smoke and rain, and they rushed into the tea shed menacingly.
Seeing this, Dahan's face sank, but he instantly smiled and said: "It turned out to be Lord Qin of the Ancient Heavenly Gate, and the small one is Wang Thirteen, the commander of the North Gate guards, I don't know what the adults are doing here?"
With a bang, before Wang 13 could make any reaction, his whole person was blasted out of the tea shed, leaving a blood mist in the air.
"Just a gatekeeper dares to question us, I really don't know whether we live or die!" One of the disciples of Gu Tianmen slowly withdrew his fist and spat in the direction where Wang Shisan flew out.
"Senior Brother Hao, that waste is a watchdog of the City Lord, just teach him a lesson, why do you beat him half to death?" the leading Gu Tianmen disciple said lightly.
The disciple surnamed Hao said respectfully: "Senior Brother Qin, it has always been us who question others, and that waste dares to ask us, obviously not taking Gu Tianmen in his eyes. If we don't make an example of the chickens and monkeys today, who will still take us seriously in the future?"
When the disciple surnamed Qin heard this, he said coldly: "If you don't fight, you will fight, we still have to do the right thing." Two days later is Senior Sister Qiong's birthday, I promised to give her a quenching pill, and less than 100,000 coins to buy medicinal materials, you will first pay the tax of this tea shop, and then collect the money from the tea customers. ”
With a turn of his eyes, the disciple surnamed Hao glared at the group of tea guests viciously, and shouted: "Have you all heard clearly? Each person has five hundred Xuan coins, and those who have paid the money can leave safely, otherwise I don't mind letting you fly out like that Wang Thirteen!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire tea shed boiled violently, five hundred Xuan coins is not a small amount, according to the living standards of Fengyang City, this is equivalent to a strong man's hard work for a year.
"You're too domineering, haven't you heard that you have to pay taxes for drinking tea, and you don't let people live like this!" said the farmer angrily.
It is true that the farmer is afraid of the disciples of the Ancient Heavenly Sect in his heart, but five hundred Xuan Coins is too much, and it is still a problem for him to solve the problem of food and clothing on weekdays, where to go to collect so much money at one time.
After sneering twice, the disciple surnamed Hao slowly walked up to the farmer and said, "Old boy, are you afraid of a long life, and you actually dare to contradict my Gu Tianmen?" But Senior Sister Qiong's birthday is coming, and I don't want to go on a killing spree, if you pay double the tax, I will let you go today, otherwise I will throw you into the Lost Forest to feed the demon beasts!"
When the farmer heard this, his expression changed greatly, and he crouched down in fear, and although he was extremely indignant in his heart, he did not dare to speak again.
Glancing around the tea shed, the disciple surnamed Qin snorted coldly and said, "A few of you are quick to do things, after collecting here, we have to go to other places to collect taxes, and we must make up enough for the hundreds of thousands of Xuan coins today." ”
After the words fell, the disciple surnamed Qin slowly walked to the table of the purple-robed young man, he sat on the bench with his butt, and motioned to Lao He to make tea for himself.
At the same time, an Ancient Heaven Sect disciple walked quickly to the purple-robed young man and sneered: "Boy, this table has been taken over by Senior Brother Qin, if you know each other, hurry up and pay the money and get out, otherwise it will hurt your face, and it won't look good!"
The purple-robed young man slowly stood up, threw down a handful of Xuan coins, and said softly: "Boss He, your Jilu tea is cooked well, this is tea money." ”
Looking at the handful of Xuan coins on the table, Boss He said in a trembling voice: "This, this guest officer, two cups of tea are not worth a few dollars, your money is enough to buy ten tea sheds, the old man really can't afford it, put it away quickly." ”
After the words fell, Boss He pushed the handful of Xuan coins in front of the purple-robed young man, and gave the other party a look, telling him not to show his wealth.
"Boss, are you stupid? This brother is so bold that he casually rewarded you with a thousand Xuan coins, which is worth selling tea for a few years. Even if you don't want it, you can use it to honor me, and I will take care of your tea shed in the future. The disciple surnamed Qin grabbed the Xuan Coin on the table, and said with his eyebrows fluttering.
Glancing at the disciple surnamed Qin, the purple-robed young man smiled indifferently, and then he walked out of the tea shed slowly, leaving the three-stringed green qin on the table.
"Stinky boy, you haven't paid your taxes yet! Just slip away, you're looking for death!" A disciple of the Ancient Heavenly Sect quickly chased after him and hit the purple-robed young man in the back.
With a bang, the Gu Tianmen disciple was shocked and flew into the tea shed, smashed the table, and smashed into the dirt, never moving again.
Seeing this, the disciple surnamed Qin jumped up suddenly, looking at the purple-robed young man with a gloomy face, with a trace of fear in his eyes.
"Senior Brother Qin, Senior Brother Qin, Senior Brother Gu, he, he has died of anger......" After a while, the disciple surnamed Hao stumbled to the disciple surnamed Qin, and said tremblingly.
The corners of the disciple's mouth twitched twice, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Stinky boy, in Fengyang City, no one dares to kill my disciple of the Ancient Heavenly Sect, you can cause a big disaster today!"
When the words fell, the disciple surnamed Qin quickly took out an object from his arms and threw it directly into the sky, only to hear a loud bang, and a bright pattern shone in the sky above Fengyang City.
The purple-robed young man didn't care about the disciple's actions at all, and after he walked for about twenty zhang, he stopped, then picked up Wang Thirteen from the ground and walked back.
Seeing that the purple-robed young man walked back, the disciples of the Ancient Heavenly Sect were like frightened birds, and they staggered out of the way, always on guard against the other party's sudden attack.
After entering the tea shed, the purple-robed young man placed Wang 13 on the table and carefully examined the other party's injuries.
After a while, the purple-robed young man called Boss He and asked him to bring a bowl of hot tea, and then took out a pill from his arms and poured it into Wang Shisan's mouth.
The disciple's eyes changed slightly, and he said coldly: "Boy, I can't see that you have a lot of treasures on you. I think so, if you give me all the coins and pills on your body, I will leave you with the whole corpse, what do you think?"
Looking at the disciple surnamed Qin quietly, the purple-robed young man said indifferently, "How many of you are disciples of the Ancient Heavenly Sect?"
"Boy, don't tell me, you don't know that a few of us are disciples of the Ancient Heavenly Sect, even if we apologize now, it will be useless, my master of the Ancient Heavenly Sect will arrive later, and I will definitely break you into ten thousand pieces!" The disciple surnamed Hao roared in a trembling voice.
Indifferently, the purple-robed young man walked back to the original tea table, sat down slowly, and flicked the three-stringed green piano again.
The sound of the piano was ethereal and euphemistic, turning into a trace of invisible energy, slowly soaking into Wang Thirteen's body, refining the elixir that had been poured into it for the other party.
"Oh, it hurts me too!" It didn't take long for Wang Shisan's cold and stiff body to move, and he screamed violently.
Glancing into the distance, the purple-robed young man said, "Boss He, you will quickly take Wang Shisan and these tea guests away from here, don't ask the reason, leave quickly." ”
Nodding slightly, Boss He quickly picked up Wang Shisan, and led a group of tea guests out of the tea shed and walked briskly towards the big willow tree not far away.
In just a moment, more than a dozen figures burst out of the smoke, and they were as fast as arrows in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded the tea shed.
