"Young master, looking at his outfit and the affectionate way he greets the shopkeeper, he should be our enemy." Zhao Yu whispered.
"Could this person be a smiling Yama? A few years ago, my master and I once met him in Suzhou, and he seemed to be surnamed Yan, called Yan Siqi. is a gentleman on the beam, and he has made light contributions. Hearing that this person is both good and evil, no one knows what he thinks in his inner world. Ying'er said.
"If he's not a killer, we can bring him over. He and Master should have some friendship, so we used this relationship to convince Him to be of our use. Zhao Renjie said.
"I'm afraid it's not so easy, these people who are a little famous in the rivers and lakes are arrogant and arrogant, and they always like to be alone, how easy is it to convince him?" Ying'er said.
"We can try, don't be too direct, just try, and if it doesn't work, don't reveal your identity." Zhao Renjie thought for a while and said.
"I've met him once, let me try it." Ying'er said.
"This hunchbacked old man is not a good person, you must pay attention to proportions when you speak, be careful, and don't show off." Zhao Renjie advised.
"Don't worry! I've got a plan. Ying'er said and walked over, arched her hand at the man, and pretended to be surprised and said, "Uncle Shi, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are still like that." ”
"Who are you? Why can't I remember? The man looked at Ying'er and asked suspiciously.
"It's really a noble man who forgets things. You don't remember one summer night four years ago, in Suzhou, my master, you and me, and the three of us were drinking together in a tavern. Ying'er reminded.
The man thought for a moment, suddenly remembered, and said happily: "Oh-you are the apprentice of the bull's nose, how is your master lately?" ”
"TOEFL, my master can eat and sleep, and his body is tough. He often mentions you, saying that you are a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, chivalrous, bold and have a sense of justice. Ying'er said.
The smiling Yama was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Girl, you put a high hat on your uncle, do you have something to ask for?" Smiling Yama asked.
"How dare you! I was just happy to see Uncle Shi here, so I came over to say hello. Ying'er said.
"These are your friends?" Smiling Yama asked.
"Yes, they are my senior brothers, and Master is not worried about me going out alone, so let the three of us go together." Ying'er disguised.
The smiling Yan Luo seemed to understand something, he didn't ask again, just looked at Zhao Renjie.
Zhao Renjie was surprised when he heard the smiling Yan Luo call Ying'er daughter, it turned out that Ying'er was really a daughter's family, no wonder she looked like a girl's family at first sight. At this time, Zhao Renjie was distracted, he remembered that in the past few days of getting along, Ying'er has always cared about him meticulously, and he was grateful for his birth and death.
When Ying'er greeted Smiling Yama, the hunchbacked old man kept paying attention to what they had to say, which Ying'er had already noticed, so he kept talking about inconsequential things, and by the way, he tested Smiling Yama's mentality.
The smiling Yan Luo was said by Ying'er's sweet mouth, and he liked this girl from the bottom of his heart.
"Girl, where are you going? What about your master? Smiling Yama asked.
"Master, his old man has always been a dragon who sees the head but does not see the tail, maybe he is around us at this time. We went to Jiangnan this time because of the old man's entrustment, asking us to have more experience in the rivers and lakes. Ying'er said.
Although Smiling Yan Luo didn't understand what Ying'er wanted to do, at least he knew that he was going to Jiangnan.
"Jiangnan is good, and the scenery is old. The sunrise river flowers are red, and the spring river is as green as blue. Can you not remember Jiangnan? Bai Juyi's poem describes the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. In particular, the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou's West Lake is the icing on the cake. I wonder if you will go to West Lake this time? If you go, the old man can accompany you to enjoy the West Lake. Smiling Yama said.
"Uncle Shi is going to West Lake? Well, we're in company, and we want to visit West Lake too. Ying'er said happily.
The more the two of them talked, the more speculative they became, and the more they talked, the more intimate they became.
"Girl, you're not going to Hangzhou, it's your purpose to go to Yangzhou!" The hunchbacked old man walked over and looked at Ying'er with sharp eyes.
"Suzhou, Yangzhou, Hangzhou, we will all go, we are there for sightseeing." Ying'er said.
"Sightseeing? That's not right! I'm afraid it's patrolling Jiangnan, and I'm here for the Yangzhou case! The hunchbacked old man spoke straightforwardly and with sharp eyes.
Ying'er was a little overwhelmed.
Zhao Renjie stood up, came to the smiling Yan Luo with a smile on his face, and said politely: "Uncle Shi is above, the disciple greets your old man."
"You're also Bullnose's apprentice? When did this happen? Why didn't I hear him mention it? The smiling Yama wondered.
"Uncle Shi, this is my senior brother, I am a close disciple of the master, the master passed on all the skills to him, I am a little jealous of the master's partiality, but there is no way, who called me a girl?." Ying'er has long liked Zhao Renjie, and she took this opportunity to test Zhao Renjie's heart.
Zhao Renjie's hot eyes looked at Ying'er, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, you are so beautiful!" It's like a fairy descending to earth, sinking fish and geese, closing the moon and embarrassing flowers, I never noticed this before. ”
Zhao Yu looked at Ying'er and was stunned when he saw her natural demeanor and beautiful face.
The hunchbacked old man has been observing words and feelings, and when he saw the changes in Zhao Renjie and Zhao Yu's eyes and demeanor, he immediately understood everything.
"Since you know each other, it's your own brother, I'll be the east tonight, let's have a few drinks." The hunchbacked old man walked over and said with a smile on his face.
"Good! Master Camel, let you break the bank, don't worry, I won't forget this love. Smiling Yama said.
The hunchbacked old man instructed the men to prepare the wine and food, and after a while, the wine and food were served, and the smiling Yan Luo and Zhao Renjie sat at the same table.
The smiling Yan Luo looked at Zhao Renjie and suddenly asked, "You are a closed disciple of Niubi, your master must teach you what he has learned all his life, and I will ask for a few tricks another day." ”
"The disciple doesn't dare, the disciple is stupid, I have followed the master for so long and only know a little bit about the skin, the master told me how to practice, pass on my mental method, and give me the skills, I failed his old man." Zhao Renjie said lightly.
"How did your master tell you to practice?" The smiling Yama is tentative.
Zhao Renjie said the first few words of the mental method taught by the master, and the smiling Yan Luo listened to it and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is a closed disciple of Niubi, come, we are destined to meet here, so we borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and we will rest when we get drunk." Smiling Yama said.
The hunchbacked old man stood aside and smiled, his eyes kept staring at them, Zhao Renjie glanced at it, and he didn't dare to be careless.
"Uncle Shi, the disciple has never walked the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't dare to drink, and the master said that he was drunk and promiscuous, and told me not to drink, so-" Zhao Renjie stopped here when he said this.
Ying'er and Zhao Yu echoed.
"Alright! You young people don't drink, I do, but whether you drink or not, you three must drink a glass of wine, which is a sign of respect for me. Got it? Smiling Yama said.
Zhao Renjie glanced at Ying'er and Zhao Yu, and had no choice but to agree.
Ying'er picked up the wine glass, looked at her eyes, smelled the smell, and suddenly said, "Shopkeeper, what kind of wine is this?" It's too stingy to entertain us with such wine. ”
The hunchbacked old man came over and said with a smile: "This store is a small profit, this is already the signature wine of the store, if the guest officer is not happy, I will do it first as a respect, which is regarded as reparation." The hunchbacked old man took the glass and drank it all.
"Come on, come on, as long as it's wine, a toast." Smiling Yama said, picking up the cup.
Zhao Renjie picked up the wine glass and said, "I wish Uncle Shi to live younger and younger, do it!" ”
When the smiling Yan Luo heard this, he smiled from ear to ear and said, "You kid is really good at talking, no wonder Niu Bi accepted you as a closed disciple, and he made another toast to you." The smiling Yama raised his glass.
Zhao Renjie couldn't refuse, so he had to do a second cup.
Smiling Yan Luo poured another cup and asked Zhao Renjie to do it together, Zhao Renjie didn't dare to be greedy for a cup, so he asked Ying'er to drink a third cup under the pretext that he was unwell.
Zhao Yu saw that Zhao Renjie was unwell and knew what was going on, so he took the opportunity to say: "Senior brother, your old problem has been committed again, I'll help you go down and rest!" After that, he helped Zhao Renjie down, and Ying'er followed.
The smiling Yan Luo drank a few glasses of wine, and regardless of these young people, he poured himself a drink, drank it, and fell asleep on the table.
The few people sitting at the table by the window were also drinking, the bearded man was drunk, and the rest were also drunk.
The hunchbacked old man summoned a few guys together and muttered in a low voice: "Everyone, our chance to make a fortune has come, according to the information provided by the old fairy, it is not the same as these people in front of us." Tonight, while they are asleep, kill him by surprise. The hunchbacked old man said.
"I wonder if the smiling Yama is friend or foe? Seeing his intimacy with the three of them, I was still a little worried. The older man said. I don't know this person's motives, if we are in league with them, then we have no chance of winning. In order to be sure, I had to put in some effort. What will you do when you see the smiling Yama become a dead pig? I don't worry about those people either, so let them cool off. The hunchbacked old man sneered.
"Master is amazing! Resourceful, Kong Ming is reincarnated. The young man exclaimed.
"Boy, learn a little, be cautious in doing things, and have a cloud in the soldiers: know yourself and know that you will win all battles." The hunchbacked old man said proudly.
At the third watch, the inn was quiet, and the hunchbacked old man and the guys in the store quickly took action.
