Chapter 342: February's Inn
The three of them opened two upper rooms, of which Zhang Xiao and Uncle Fu had one room, Xu Lianxiao had one room for this girl, and the two rooms were only separated by one wall, and if the other room was in danger, they could quickly support each other.
After the room was opened, because it was not a meal at this time, and the place for people to eat on the first and second floors of the inn was not the most lively time, the three of them went back to their rooms, planning to come down to eat when it was time for dinner.
The restaurant inn is the place where the most people come and go, and people also like to discuss things the most when they eat, and it is difficult for both cultivators and ordinary people to completely avoid this rule, and there are only a few.
Zhang Xiao's plan is very simple, he just wants to get the news he wants from the gossip of these people and his partners during the meal, which not only saves him from paying attention, but also saves himself a lot of trouble.
It's also a coincidence, Dragon City is one of the few cities where cultivators come and go and gather a lot, and it is naturally easy for the three of them to find out about the cultivation world in Dragon City, if it is changed to another city that is relatively slightly higher, it will be really difficult to find out the news by this method.
When it was time for lunch, the three of them walked down from the upstairs very tacitly, and at this time, there were already many people eating on the first floor of the inn, and the messy and harsh voices of conversation were also coming and going.
The three of them chose a position to sit down in the middle, in this position, with their cultivation strength, they could clearly hear the conversation on the wine table on the first floor, and this position was also a position that Zhang Xiao had noticed when he first came to the inn.
"Lian Xiao, order two dishes that you like to eat, don't care about money, we have this thing. After sitting down, Zhang Xiaoyi pushed the recipe to Xu Lianxiao, no matter where the place is, the rule of ladies first has always existed.
Xu Lianxiao didn't say anything polite to Zhang Xiao, and after taking the recipe, she began to look through it, she was from a poor family, and she didn't have much requirements for food, so she soon ordered a few dishes that she hadn't eaten for a long time, and put the recipes together.
She knew that Zhang Xiao didn't like the tedious and boring action of ordering, and Zhang Xiao was still a particularly easy person to serve, that is, she would eat whatever she wanted if she wasn't picky, so she naturally didn't need to push the recipe to Zhang Xiao again.
As for Uncle Fu, he actually hates this cumbersome practice more than Zhang Xiao, and when the three of them just sat down, Uncle Fu had already twisted his head elsewhere, directly indicating that he didn't want to be indifferent.
But all the people who can be buddies in such a restaurant are not clever people, as early as when Zhang Xiao and the three sat down, the guy's eyes never left the table, and it was not until Xu Lianxiao closed the recipe that the guy ran all the way over.
"Objectively, these dishes you want will be ready immediately, and please drink tea first and wait for a while. The man glanced at the recipe at a glance, and after greeting him, he ran all the way to the kitchen.
After ordering, Zhang Xiao began to listen carefully to the conversation of the people eating at the table around him, due to the large number of people, their words were mixed together and very noisy, but Zhang Xiao was a spiritual light realm cultivator after all, and this difficulty was not too difficult for him.
Until the dishes on the table were all served and a full tea time had passed, he still hadn't heard any useful news from the tables around him.
The content of these guys' chats is very boring, except for the shortcomings of the east and west, there is only the meaningless news of which gang has changed its leader, or which famous cultivator has broken through the realm.
After the dishes on the table were completely ready, Zhang Xiao no longer had the luxury of being able to get news about the war between the Yunliu Sect and the three major dynasties from these mouths.
"Well, are there any eyebrows? ”
Seeing Zhang Xiao frowning, Xu Lianxiao asked very considerately.
"These guys are so weak and have access to too few things, so it's really hard to get information from their conversations. ”
Zhang Xiao shook his head, then picked up the chopsticks, "Eat the vegetables first, no matter whether we can get the news or not, we still have to eat." ”
Of course, while eating, his ears were always listening to the conversation of those around him, after all, there should be someone who knows about the war.
In order to help Zhang Xiao share the pressure, Xu Lianxiao was also listening to the conversations around him while eating food, and Uncle Fu was naturally listening, after all, it was impossible for him not to listen to these words deliberately, and it was also something he was willing to do to help the young master share the pressure.
"Uncle, okay, I haven't eaten in three years, can you give up something for me to eat?" ”
Just when the three of them were concentrating on listening to the conversation around them while eating the dishes, a voice suddenly sounded behind Zhang Xiao.
When he heard the voice, Zhang Xiao reacted instantly, turned his head to look back, and saw a beggar with a cloak and a ragged linen shirt, about the same height as him, standing behind him.
The reason why he was a beggar was because his cloak was full of dirt from top to bottom, and the already tattered linen shirt was covered with dirt that had begun to turn black, and his hair seemed to have not been washed for several years, and from time to time it emitted a foul smell in addition to being greasy.
If such a person suddenly appeared behind Zhang Xiao at ordinary times, he would definitely turn his head directly and punch him, but now he had to keep a low profile because he was fleeing, so he didn't do it directly.
"Where did the stinky beggar come from, hurry up and get out, don't disturb the Yaxing where the uncles are eating. ”
Before Zhang Xiao could say anything, the clever shopkeeper ran over and began to drive the stinky beggar out of the store.
With the intervention of the Ling guys, Zhang Xiao didn't care too much about the stinky beggar who suddenly appeared behind him, because he still had something on his mind, so he let the guys drive away.
"Zhang Xiao, I think he's quite pitiful, otherwise let him sit down and eat together. ”
Xu Lian smiled at the pitiful appearance of this beggar, and saw that Zhang Xiao had no intention of interfering, so he hurriedly pleaded.
Because she was born at the bottom, she was very soft-hearted to most of the low-level personnel, and when she saw that the beggar was about to be driven away by the guys, she felt a little unbearable.
