Chapter 86: A Chance Encounter

Last time, it was said that an old man entered an inn on the way to the north in Luoyang, and wanted to complain and have dinner, but the guy who was entertained in the store was very inconspicuous and was disgusted by the old man.

The old man was tired and hungry, and the burden on his back was still heavy, and he stood at the door and waited impatiently for the guy to reply, and his eyes were locked on the already demented man again.

The man saw the murderous eyes again, and his knees were so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground, but fortunately, his body's natural reaction was timely, and he barely continued to stand by holding on to the wall.

The old man shook his head, and walked towards the hall of the inn on his own, and as far as the eye could see, the tables in the hall were full.

When the old man was worried about how to solve tonight's dinner, the shopkeeper of the inn found that there was some situation here, so he hurried over to save the scene.

The shopkeeper opened his mouth and said, "Guest officer, I'm sorry, the small shop is full now." I wonder if the guest officer is willing to share a table with someone else? ”

The old man listened to the shopkeeper's words, frowned, glanced at the shopkeeper, and continued to look for a vacant seat in the corner of the inn, seemingly reluctant to share a table with strangers.

The shopkeeper was glanced at by the old man, and his heart trembled, but he didn't perform as badly as that guy, after all, the shopkeeper is to manage people, and his mental quality is better than that of the people below. The shopkeeper knew that the old man in front of him must be a big man, and his every move was coercive from the superior, and he didn't dare to offend.

The shopkeeper apologized and said, "This guest officer, I'm really sorry. Why don't you wait a minute, and arrange it for you as soon as the table is vacant? As he spoke, he shouted to the man standing at the door, "Go and bring a cushion and make a pot of tea." ”

The old man didn't think this was a hassle to the store, but he felt very hungry and didn't want to wait, so he asked, "Are there any other places to eat and stay near here?" ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, of course he was appreciative in his heart, how could there be a reason to introduce business to his opponent? But there is really only one store in this vicinity, and the nearest one is nearly two hours, so the shopkeeper is also happy to tell the truth, but he doesn't dare to easily offend the old man in front of him, so he said very cautiously: "The nearest inn near here will go west for two hours, but it is not early now, and if the guest officer only passes now, it is estimated that he will miss the meal." After a pause, he continued, "None of the guests who dine at our restaurant will eat for too long, why don't you wait?" ”

The old man came from the west, going to Huaixian, and now I heard that the nearest store is still behind, and it will take two hours, although he has a horse will be faster, but he has to wait for himself to rush back to the previous store, it is estimated that he will starve to death.

The old man hadn't been hungry for a long time, and he didn't know what it was like to be hungry for a long time, so now that he tasted it, he felt so uncomfortable that he was going to die, the whole person collapsed, and he felt weak in his limbs, his lips twitched slightly, he was dazzled, and the most terrible thing was that his body seemed to be hollowed out.

The old man didn't want to wait any longer, so he said in a deep voice: "Then let's share the table." ”

When the shopkeeper heard that the distinguished guest was finally relieved, he himself breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked the man to take the old man to the innermost table where only one guest was seated.

Originally, the old man wanted to use his momentum to scare away the guests at the same table, but when he saw the figure of the guest, he gave up his original plan.

I saw that there was a big man sitting on the edge of the table, facing the door of the store, but there was no god in his eyes, he gave himself a bowl of wine, and the bowl of wine was dry, and he poured a bowl of wine into his stomach in three or four bites, but he did not see him touch the side dishes placed in front of him.

When the old man saw this, he began to regret it, he didn't want to be at the same table with this powerful but full of worries, he only wanted to get drunk himself. Who knows when this guy will go crazy drunk, and it will be a disaster to harm his little pond fish.

As soon as the old man turned his head and asked the man to arrange another table, the drunken man found the old man walking towards him. The big man subconsciously looked at the old man's face, saw who was coming, and began to pour himself wine again. The big man had just lifted the wine jar, and suddenly focused his eyes on the old man's face again, as if he had found that the old man's lunch had not been finished and left one on it, frowning and staring at it with half-squinted eyes.

The old man was expressing his dissatisfaction with his buddy, and suddenly felt the strong man staring at him. When had the old man been stared at so rudely, so he glared back unceremoniously.

The strong man was glared at by the old man, but he didn't feel timid, but showed a look of surprise, and opened his mouth to ask: "Are you Lord Fengchang?" ”

As soon as the old man heard that someone called out his identity, he was so frightened that he thought that the person wanted by the court had come, and recognized him. The old man remembered that he had a sticky beard, and others should not be so easy to recognize him, but when he subconsciously checked the beard on the side of his mouth, he found that it was smooth in his hand, and it was estimated that the beard was blown off by the wind on the road.

The old man was even more panicked, his eyes flickered, and he hurriedly denied it very lamely: "You recognized the wrong person." After saying that, he turned his head and rushed out of the inn.

The strong man felt that he was not mistaken, he had seen this old man many times when he went to Luoyang with his master before, he didn't know if this old man was old and forgetful, so he couldn't recognize him, so he wanted to remind the old man who he was, so he said: "I am Zhang Bao's eldest apprentice, Ma Yuanyi." ”

When the old man heard the strong man mention "Zhang Bao", he stopped leaving, and hurriedly looked around to see if he was heard by others, and when he found that it did not attract the attention of others, he turned around and walked to the strong man who claimed to be Zhang Bao's apprentice, and looked at the strong man carefully, but he wanted to shoot his head, and he was not impressed.

Zhang Bao has an impression, but who is Zhang Bao's follower, whether Zhang Bao has an attendant or not, he has not paid attention to these details before, so how can he know who Ma Yuanyi is. But since the other party recognized him and did not arrest him immediately, it should not be someone from the imperial court, it is very likely that it is someone from Zhang Jiao's side, plus the people around him have ignored the existence of him and the strong man, which means that the wanted warrant has not yet run in front of him, and he is still safe at present. That's why the old man put his heart back in his stomach.

The old man sat down opposite the strong man, asked the guy to take the good dishes in the store, and sent the guy away. When the guy walked away, the old man looked at the strong man and asked in a low voice, "Who is that, do you know the old man?" ”
