Ye Fan picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, his face beaming.

The taste of this apricot blossom wine is not worthy of the shopkeeper's self-selling boast, it is really a must, and it is not even lost to the good wine that the old owner Liu has treasured for a long time, so you must take a few more jars.

Ye Fan took a sip of apricot blossom wine, which was full of mellow fragrance and sweet like apricot blossoms, and his mood improved, and asked: "Shopkeeper, this ghost and monster in Qiandeng Town are raging and harming so many people, so the court of the Pure Water Country will not care?"

The shopkeeper said casually: "Anyway, how can you not care, there are several groups of people here." Don't hide it from Shaoxia, in my inn, there was once a general with a group of soldiers, who left after eating the whole roasted whole sheep, and threw a large silver ingot on the table. However, these soldiers and soldiers, even if they are just eating and drinking, ordinary people like me dare not approach, and they always feel that they have a murderous aura. ”

Ye Fan then asked, "There are so many soldiers and generals, and they can't suppress those ghosts?"

The shopkeeper waved his hand, "Where can the army suppress these things? Otherwise, why would several groups of people come to the imperial court and don't care about anything? If you want me to say, this kind of dirty thing is only the gods on the mountain, and it is better to use an immortal method than thousands of people." ”

Ye Fan nodded, and had a general impression of the Thousand Lights Town.

Qiao Sandao had already drunk a big bowl of wine, this was the second bowl, his face was flushed, but his eyes were bright, "This ghost is entrenched in one side, but it doesn't harm people's lives, and it doesn't come out to wander, it is clear that he wants to express his position with the court, and he doesn't have the idea of occupying the mountain as the king and harming people and disturbing the people, this is a wise move, it seems that this ghost thing has opened his mind, very smart, very smart!"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, "This master, what are you talking about?"

Qiao Sandao raised his head and drank all the wine in the bowl, and slapped the table, "My generation of chivalrous warriors, you should be happy and revenge, this wine is delicious!"

The self-proclaimed Jianghu ranger who drank a pound of alcohol, and there were several top masters in the Holy Water Secret Realm, got drunk into a puddle of mud, and fell drunk on the table and died, unable to move.

Yes, I don't want to live in a hotel now.

After that, the shopkeeper and a lame old man brought a large roasted whole sheep to the table, Ye Fan indulged himself for the first time, eating a mouth full of oil, a round belly, and the little fox was even more full, and in the end he almost stuffed the mutton in his mouth and forcibly swallowed it in his stomach.

Ye Fan asked for three adjacent rooms upstairs, and the little fox lived in the middle room, and then helped Qiao Sandao upstairs and threw him on the bed, fortunately, the amount of alcohol was not good, the wine was not bad, and he would sleep if he drank too much, not abrasive, nor drunk. The little fox went to his room, closed the door, and began to walk around the room, otherwise he would be uncomfortable.

Ye Fan picked the Nine Heavens, put it near the bed, and rubbed his fingers against the jade plate engraved with the word "Fan" on his waist, with a smile on his face.

On the side of the curtain hanging at the door of the kitchen in the lobby, the lame old man sat on a bench, crossed his legs, and smoked a dry cigarette while chirping.

After a while, the old man knocked on the cigarette stick, stood up, came to the counter, and glanced upstairs, "Those guests are not simple. ”

The man turned his abacus absentmindedly and said casually: "Fourth master, according to what you say, all the guests in our inn are not simple people, are they?"

The lame old man rested his elbows on the counter, swallowed the clouds, and said in a deep voice, "Have you taken a fancy to that kid?"

The shopkeeper raised his head and said cautiously: "Fourth master, don't make an assertion, you will drug people when you go back, last time the two powerful sons stripped you naked and threw them at the gate of Qiandeng Town overnight. ”

The old man pursed his lips and said, "It's not a heinous court criminal, I will drug others." I'm afraid you'll drugged that kid and become obsessed and do whatever you want. ”

The man shook his head, "The twisted melon is not sweet, I know that this is how I have been in my life, I don't like women, but I like men, if I let my father know, I will feel lucky to only discount my legs." ”

The old man lit him with a cigarette stick, "You, you, this is not good, you only think about the bad in everything, don't say anything else, as long as you dare to explain to your father truthfully, even if your father doesn't agree, I will stand on your side to support you." ”

The shopkeeper shook his head, didn't care about the lame old man's words, leaned over, lowered his voice and said, "That big demon in Qiandeng Town, didn't that person kill him?"

The old man shook his head, "If it is really the number one general under the command of that ghost creature in Qiongtai Mountain, only monks above the Seven Realms have this ability, although that person has some strength, it is definitely not simple, but it is not so strong." ”

The shopkeeper fell into deep thought.

The lame old man took two more puffs of dry tobacco and turned to leave.

The shopkeeper finished the accounts, put away the abacus account book, and went straight upstairs.

When the shopkeeper walked up to the second floor, Ye Fan gently held Jiuxiaotian in his hand and turned his head to look at the door.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper didn't knock on the door.

When he walked down the stairs, Ye Fan put Jiuxiaotian back on the bedside, held the jade plaque on the table in his hand, and with a slight movement of his mind, all the objects in the jade plaque appeared in the room.

A few high-grade talismans that had been carved, ten high-grade flying swords given by Wei Cheng, a jade bottle containing Tianyan holy water, some daily necessities, and a total of only five Purple Cloud Coins.....

Ye Fan sighed, he really spent money like water.

Although Qingzhu coins and snow spirit coins have accumulated a lot, they are only a number

It's just a word, and after it is really converted into Ziyun coins, it will shrink seriously.

Ye Fan was a little helpless, put all the items in the house in the jade plate, opened the door, and prepared to go downstairs to wander around and relieve his boredom.

When I got downstairs, the shopkeeper was smiling.

This word is always a little weird when used on men, but Ye Fan really can't think of other words that can more appropriately describe this extremely weird innkeeper.

Handsome, rich, and temperamental, the more the shopkeeper looks at Ye Fan, the more eye-catching he becomes, and the smile on his face becomes more and more uncontrollable.

Ye Fan asked for a pound of seven-year-old small jar of apricot blossom wine, and sat on the table in the lobby in a daze with the jar of wine.

The shopkeeper turned sideways and sat on the bench opposite Ye Fan, turned his head to look at the young man, his cheeks were slightly red, the wine halo had not yet faded, and asked with a smile: "Wouldn't it be more convenient for the young man to drink with a bowl?" If it is not enough, I still have it, so I should invite the young man to drink, no money." ”

He brought his own jar of wine, which was also a seven-year-old apricot blossom wine, and drank it by himself, not forgetting to bring a few plates to accompany the wine and dishes, and of course two pairs of chopsticks.

Ye Fan said with a smile: "I have this amount of alcohol, even if I drink it after drinking, I don't count it when I drink it with a bowl, and it is easy to drink too much." ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "Shaoxia, your friend's alcohol consumption is really good." ”

Ye Fan was a little helpless, thinking to himself that Qiao Sandao is the top master of the world, and it is too embarrassing.

Ye Fan asked seemingly casually: "Shopkeeper, what big names are stationed here on the border of this Pure Water Country?"

The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows, "Shaoxia, you shouldn't be a spy sent by another country, right?"

Ye Fan pointed upstairs, "Is there a spy like me? With a friend who is so good at drinking, and a child with him?"

The shopkeeper nodded, "That's right, if the other seven countries are spies like Shaoxia, how can there be so many battles, and the world will be peaceful long ago." ”

He was a little drunk, stretched out his arm, and couldn't catch the sauce meat on a plate after clamping it twice, Ye Fan gently pushed the plate over, the shopkeeper glanced at him, and simply put down the chopsticks, "It's okay to talk to you, so that you arrogant Jianghu people can know the strength of our border army of the Pure Water Country." ”

The shopkeeper burped and continued: "The old general Yuwen, who has been on horseback for half his life, is one of the town-headed generals of our Pure Water Country, and has two sons and a daughter under his knees, and his daughter married to the capital. One of the two sons was training in the ranks of Marshal Li in the south, and I heard that he had already climbed to the rank of captain by relying only on military merits, and he was not good. Another little son, worshiped under the new national teacher Chu Momen, although he is only a name, but the future is still limitless, I heard that his talent for martial arts is so good that the entire border has heard of it. ”

Ye Fan asked tentatively: "Is this General Yuwen the same General Yuwen Rong who defeated Chongling Pass more than half a year ago?"

The shopkeeper was a bright person, and he didn't hide it, "It's this old general Yuwenrong, although he has suffered defeat, but he has been fighting for so many years, how can he not lose a single battle?" Besides, don't look at who led the army in the Red Leaf Country, that is Zheng Chonghua, how can General Yuwen be called a sentence of defeat and glory." ”

He drank a glass of wine and said with a smile: "No, after suffering a defeat in the southern border, he was sent to the northern border by His Majesty." Fortunately, in recent years, the emperor of Dayan is going to die, and we can take a breath here, there are small frictions, but the big disputes have not been seen for several years. ”

Maybe he finally said something that made people laugh, the shopkeeper raised his wine glass and said loudly: "This bullshit world, you can be happy when you drink, come, I Song Qi will accompany my son!"

Ye Fan lifted the wine jar, and then poured a big sip.

"Shopkeeper! The old rules, six jars are brewed for three years, two roasted whole sheep, hurry up, the brothers are hungry!"

A loud voice sounded, and six burly men with knives on their waists strode into the lobby one after another.

The first person, with a strong figure, wearing Mingguang armor that was different from the regular army, sat on the bench on Ye Fan's left with a big slash, and the five people under the man's hand were familiar with the way to carry wine and bowls, and several people sat at two tables, and the lobby was instantly full. The strong man took the wine bowl in front of the shopkeeper, poured a bowl of apricot blossom wine, splashed the wine, drank it in one gulp, and wiped his mouth.

The shopkeeper said angrily: "Hu Wei, how many times have I told you, if you have a low voice, you will compensate me if you scare away the guests?"

The man with the saber smiled, disapproving.

The man in armor glanced at Ye Fan, who was indifferent, and said, "Boy, who is the person's clan?

The shopkeeper was just about to speak, but Ye Fan had already taken out the guan from his arms and gently placed it in front of the table of the strong man with the shoulder knife.

After the man picked it up, he looked at the large and small, dense vermilion seals printed on it, and sighed: "Red leaf people, have you walked such a long way?"

Ye Fan smiled and nodded.

The man looked at him like this, and he was a little angry for no reason, General Yuwen had just suffered a defeat in the Red Leaf Country, and there was such a Red Leaf Country who would not be able to slap his beard and bow his head, the key was that he was quite handsome, so he thought of finding a way to clean up this kid, so as to teach him to know that this is the big brother of Qiandeng Town.

The shopkeeper drank the apricot blossom wine in front of him, and suddenly asked, "I heard that the town is haunted again?"

As soon as he talked about this bad incident, Hu Wei lost interest, threw the customs clearance document back to the kid, drank a sip of wine, and said angrily: "It's really evil."

Sex, in the past, that thing was just a scourge to outsiders, this time it's strange, it turned out to be our own people who were poisoned, that Liu Laoba you know, in charge of the west piece, and also have a little friendship with Deputy Commander Chen, yesterday, one didn't look at it and went completely crazy, just this weather, no clothes in broad daylight, running blindly on the street, and saying that he was too hot, the brothers had to lock him up, and within a few days there was a room of and urine, the smell was stinking, and now I am a little sober, and finally don't talk about those strange words, brothers, don't you want to hurry over and drink a few bowls of apricot blossom wine, and rush to the bad luck。 ”

The shopkeeper frowned and said, "What about the old immortal master you invited last time? Didn't you say that he had the ability?

Hu Wei turned his head and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, "The shit immortal master is just an old liar, and Lao Tzu has also made a miserable pit for him, and Deputy Commander Chen has made fun of me during this time." ”

Speaking of troubles, the man drank a few bowls of stuffy wine, and after the two roasted whole sheep were served, he asked for a table of side dishes, drank meat and eight vegetarian dishes, and ate a mouth full of oil, it seemed that the autumn wind was coming, and in the end he didn't leave, and the three of them went upstairs to sleep, saying that Ming'er would go back to Qiandeng Town.

Ye Fan sat at the next table early when the man and Song Qihu were blowing Haikan, and the shopkeeper finally sent the uncle upstairs, sat next to Ye Fan, exhaled a long breath, his face was full of exhaustion, and said with a wry smile: "This Hu Wei is the steward of Qiandeng Town, and has the official position of an adjutant lieutenant, which has something to do with the official yamen. The rest are all officials, not officials, but they are bigger than the sky. Hades is so good that the little ghost is difficult, and I, a flat-headed common man, can only spend money to buy peace, otherwise what else can I do. ”

The little fox heard the movement outside, gently opened the door of the house, squatted down, his head was in the gap between the railings on the second floor, and secretly looked at the two people below, but it was not easy to pull it out, trotting all the way down the stairs, looking at the wine bowl full of milky white apricot blossom wine behind Ye Fan, and was extremely curious in his heart.

The little fox rolled his eyes, endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, glanced at Ye Fan, and stretched out his little hand to take the wine bowl with great care.

Before his lips touched the edge of the bowl, Ye Fan stood up and came to the little fox, "Is the wine delicious?"

The little fox whose ears were pulled immediately stopped and said pitifully: "It's not good, Master, I just want to see what this wine looks like, I really don't want to ......drink it."

Ye Fan said goodbye to the shopkeeper, whispered all the way to blame the little fox, and walked to the staircase, the little fox pouted, shouting that he didn't dare.

When he arrived at the door of the room, Ye Fan turned to the little fox and ordered, "You are not allowed to come out if there is nothing to do." ”

The little fox rubbed his ears and nodded.

Outside the inn, there was a touch of fish belly white, there was a man from afar riding a horse, a woman in the prime of life, her hair was tied high, her appearance was soft, but she had a fierce atmosphere, carrying a horse bow, hanging a long sword, she put the horse casually outside the door, and strode towards the inn.

After walking into the lobby, she looked around, and after seeing the innkeeper with a surprised face, she was expressionless, stopped, and said to the man: "Uncle wants me to tell you, go home to avoid the limelight these days, and there has been no trouble here recently." ”

The shopkeeper was in front of the woman, and there was no decline at all, just like the young master of a rich and noble family, he put his finger to his mouth, signaled that the wall had ears, and then said softly: "Qiu'er, what did Dad say?"

The woman's face was full of anger, "Song Zongren, are you still a man?!"

The shopkeeper lowered his head, not daring to look into the woman's eyes.

The woman said coldly: "Give me a room, I'll leave tomorrow, you think about it yourself." ”

The shopkeeper trembled and led the girl to the second floor, and under the guidance of the shopkeeper's eyes, he specially selected the cleanest and most elegant room for the woman.

Qiao Sandao's side was still drunk, lying on the bed, muttering dream words that no one could understand.

There was a knock on the door, and Ye Fan opened the door.

But at the beginning of the day, the little fox got out of bed, opened the door, tiptoed into the house, and pulled Ye Fan with a panicked expression, "Master, Master, I don't think the shopkeeper is a good person, just now there was a good-looking sister outside who came in to live in the hotel, the shopkeeper's eyes on that sister are not right, could this be a black shop? I have heard the stories told by Mr. Storyteller before, among them, I mentioned that the black shop, I like to give sweat medicine to the guests, and then use it to make human meat buns." ”

Ye Fan shook his head and smiled: "It's okay to think nonsense, pack up, I'm going to hurry after eating in a while." ”

The little fox was still a little afraid, but he thought that the master was so powerful, even if it was a black shop, it was probably not the master's opponent, so he reined in his mind and walked back to his house with a sigh.

In fact, the little fox guessed half right, this inn is definitely not as simple as it seems, but there is no resentment and resentment here, it should not be a black shop for money and murder, but like a stronghold planted by a certain force.

At the door of the passenger station, the thin young man who was washing dishes and wiping the table was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly walked out of the door, lying on the ground, his ears were close to the ground, his face was solemn, and a cavalry army came from afar, the number was not small, although there were troops stationed here in Qiandeng Town recently, there was no cavalry army to show up, and the young men of Qiandeng Town, in order to admire the demeanor of General Yuwen, often went to Tongping County in the distance, so as to have the opportunity to take a few glances from afar.
