Chapter 11: Master and Apprentice of Murong
As the saying goes, there is nothing that cannot be solved by one jar of century-old wine, and if it doesn't work, then two jars.
Besides, what they wanted was not one jar, not two jars, but five jars of century-old wine.
They found one of the best restaurants in the neighborhood and went straight up to the third floor to ask for a private room. The shopkeeper was very embarrassed, saying that only one private room was empty, and it was still booked, so he invited them to sit in the hall and gave them a discount.
"What kind of is this, do we look like people with no money?" Zhou Dingcheng's belly of fire was vented to the head of the shopkeeper.
"Since we are free, we want it, whoever has ordered it will wait for them to come, let them find me."
Besides, he took out the waist card and shook it in front of the shopkeeper's eyes.
This is his waist card for entering the palace, it has been useless, and he has not entered the palace yet, because the emperor has not summoned him, but he did not expect it to come in handy here.
The shopkeeper didn't see what the waist card was, to be honest, even if you look closely, you don't know what it is, this kind of waist card is not much in the capital, even the cabinet scholars do not have, because with this waist card you can enter the emperor's and queen's bedroom. The emperor summoned scholars and scholars in the outer halls, and there was no reason to summon them in the dormitory.
The shopkeeper knew that this young man must be amazingly big, so he had to agree, as for the master of the reservation, he would talk about it when he came, anyway, he was a regular customer, and it was a big deal to apologize and apologize, and he could perfunctory it if he sent a sumptuous banquet or something, and the one in front of him was obviously unprovoked, because he couldn't see through it at all.
If you want to judge the right person, no one is more accurate than the shopkeeper who opened the store, and you can basically see at a glance what people do, what their identity is, what their family background is, etc., which are all tempered over the years, and there is no shortcut.
Besides, he would never do this kind of thing, and it would be the same if there was no private room to sit in the hall, on the contrary, he usually liked to drink in the hall, and liked the open space, rather than the private room that was separated, and he was aggrieved.
But he really needed a secret place to drink well today, so he took out the overlord posture. His mood at the moment is indescribable.
After the wine was brought up, besides, he and Zhou Dingcheng were full of big bowls, without saying a word, and drank three bowls in a row.
Xiao Nier was not to be outdone, and moved the small bowl of wine glasses on the table to the side, which was also a large bowl of wine, but only one bowl.
Besides, the adrenaline in his body is still high, he is afraid, he was not afraid at the time, not not afraid, but even the thought of fear was scared, and then he fled the scene in a hurry, and he didn't feel afraid, but now that it has stopped, the feeling of fear has come up, and the adrenaline surge naturally appears in the body, so as to combat the surging fear.
"His grandmother's, don't be found out by Lao Tzu who did it, otherwise you will have to destroy him." Zhou Dingcheng said indignantly.
Besides, he didn't speak, he filled himself with another bowl, and he continued to drink to find balance in his body, not the balance of losing his center of gravity, but the balance within his body.
Zhou Dingcheng just said, just looking at the skills of these two assassins, he understood that if it was an organization, it was definitely not something that Zhou Dingcheng could afford to provoke, and he himself knew that if these two assassins came at him, he would hang up at the first assassin level, and he would not have this meal.
It seems that the other party attaches enough importance to the situation, and adds double insurance, but unexpectedly, the attention is still not enough, and he is still dodged by the situation.
After dodging two moves, even if there is an ambush, it is useless, at that time, Zhou Dingcheng was already standing in front of him, and it was impossible to kill Zhou Dingcheng and then continue to kill, because Murong Yanran's master and apprentice were nearby.
Time, killing and robbery is time, sometimes it's just a second!
They saw that there was no danger, so they pursued the Assassins, and if there were other Assassins, they would never do so. Although this was just a remedy, it was too much to let the Assassin escape.
"What kind of people are these, perseverance, they have all chased after each other, didn't they say that they can stop when we enter the capital?" Xiao Nier was puzzled.
"I don't even know where they came from, and I certainly don't know what they mean. The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, it's useless to think too much, drinking, it's not so easy to want my head. Besides.
He had two chances to make a move today, and he could have left those two assassins behind, but he didn't. After dodging the killer blow, he could send out the talisman on his wrist, and no matter how high the skill of those two assassins was, it was impossible to dodge the talisman.
But it was precisely because of this that he did not issue a military talisman. Since the most dangerous moment has been avoided, there is no need to waste two talismans just to kill, after all, this thing is still a life-saving trick, and it needs the energy of the golden dragon to replenish it, and it can't be drawn.
He now vaguely understands the magic of the golden dragon, although he is not sure whether it was the so-called heavenly fortune that saved him, or whether he saved himself through years of practice, but he felt that there were still many elements of heavenly luck, even if not all.
When Xiao Er brought a few dishes, besides, he and Zhou Dingcheng had already drunk two jars of wine, Xiao Er looked at the two empty jars, and was stunned, I don't know if these two are drunkards or wine fairies, this is too good to drink.
Xiao Nier didn't drink much, only drank three bowls, but Xiao Er looked at the big wine bowl in front of her and was just as amazed, this is also a woman in wine. I admired it in my heart.
However, the old wine is indeed effective in resolving the feeling of fear, the so-called wine strengthens people's courage, before the battle, the soldiers always have to drink and be strong, in fact, it is to strengthen the courage, the strength of the wine comes up, and life and death can be put out of the way.
Besides, they simply asked for a few dishes, and for them the main thing was wine rather than dishes, and it was a bit unreasonable to go into the restaurant and ask for wine and no dishes, so they symbolically ordered a few things.
"If it's the Ancestor Protector Sect and the Empty Dao Sect, they won't hire killers, right? They will take it upon themselves. Zhou Dingcheng still had palpitations and said.
He meant to ask if it would be someone sent by the emperor, although it was a bit funny to suspect that the emperor was assassinating, but in fact, it was not that the emperor had carried out assassinations in history, and in the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Daizong sent killers to get rid of the eunuch leaders, so as to regain military power. The emperor can do anything openly, but some things are better done secretly.
Besides, shaking his head, he couldn't judge these things at all, and along the way from Nanjing to Beijing, he was assassinated more than ten times, and in the end he didn't understand who was behind the manipulation.
As for saying that the Ancestor Protector Sect and the Empty Dao Sect would not hire a killer to assassinate him, he didn't fully agree with it, and now there was any possibility. His situation was shrouded in a thick haze, and he couldn't make out the difference at all.
At this time, the door of the private room opened, and it was not Xiao Er who came in, but Murong Yanran's master and apprentice.
The two of them were neatly dressed, not at all like they had just fought with someone. The only change was that the little girl's veil was gone, perhaps torn off during the fierce battle, or blown away by the wind. Besides, my heart was shocked, although the little girl's face was delicate, her expression was dull and stiff, as if she had just finished plastic surgery in a certain country on the peninsula.
Of course, this is a mask, and it is a very low-level mask.
"I'm sorry we missed and let them escape." Murong Yanran nodded, bowed, and then said in frustration.
"It's nothing, they missed it too, and today seems to be the day of the miss." Besides, he laughed.
He really didn't think there was anything, although Murong Yanran was really powerful, but those two assassins were by no means idle, he was curious that this little girl could also fight with an assassin, I really don't know if this little girl was really amazing, or that assassin was just good at assassination, and his fighting skills were not excellent, he really took care of her.
"Senior, you...... You may be seated and I will give you some vegetarian options. Zhou Dingcheng hurriedly stood up, and said carefully after a respectful gesture.
"Well said, today could be a missed day. You don't need to order the dishes, you don't have to eat meat. After Murong Yanran finished speaking, she didn't need to let go, she sat down on an empty chair beside her, and the little girl first glared at him fiercely, as if she was all to blame for the mistake, and then sat down next to the master.
"You didn't alarm the people in the government, did you?" Besides, he asked.
"What if you're alarmed?"
Before Murong Yanran could answer, the little girl preemptively retorted.
"I didn't say how it was, but it's not going to attract too much attention right now. Especially for the government, it's better to avoid it. And said with a wry smile.
"It's impossible not to be alarmed, but they can't find us. Anyway, nothing happened, and the people in the government went back after a circle, and they didn't bother to check anything, after all, there were no deaths. Murong Yanran picked up the glass of wine that Zhou Dingcheng poured for him, drank it in one gulp, and said.
Zhou Dingcheng hurriedly poured her another glass, and he could see that this senior was also in need of old wine to soothe her.
In front of Murong Yanran, he didn't dare to sit down, it was not as natural as that little girl. He was really afraid of this senior, not that he had been taught, but that the legend of this senior was too terrifying, and his status was still comparable to that of his ancestor in the Wudang faction, not to mention her status in the Qinwang faction.
"That's good." Besides, he said dryly, he really didn't have anything to say, and the little girl's eyes couldn't help but be said by him.
Murong Yanran drank another drink, then motioned for Zhou Dingcheng to sit down, and then turned to the situation and said, "Childe, don't be angry with us, how dangerous it is today." ”
"Master, it's useless for you to tell him, his conscience has been eaten by dogs." The little girl took away the glass in front of her, replaced it with a large bowl for herself, and then unceremoniously lifted the jar and poured herself a full bowl.
"How do you speak, your adults didn't teach you how to speak?"
Besides, she couldn't bear it, but Xiao Nier couldn't bear it, and said angrily.
"What's the matter, do you want to teach me?" The little girl's dull face trembled.
Zhou Dingcheng stuck out his tongue, Xiao Nier dared to say this, he didn't dare, this was saying to his face that Murong Yanran did not educate his apprentices well.
"What about teaching you?" Not to be outdone, Xiao Nier was not to be outdone.
"Okay, okay, you shut up for me." Murong Yanran reprimanded his apprentice.
Then she apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I spoiled her too much and offended Childe." ”
"It's not offensive or offensive, I'm not a great character, this girl is really temperamental." Besides, let's play a round road.
"She's a real character, and I'm a fake?" Xiao Nier didn't want to listen, and said with a straight eyebrow.
"Okay, the enemy is now, let's not fight in the nest, even if we don't cooperate, at least we don't have to fight." Moreover, reassuring Xiao Nier, there was obviously a thorn in her words.
"Childe, the relationship between us is not a partnership, but a relationship between protecting and being protected." Murong Yanran hurriedly corrected.
Besides, it's a big head, how can you offend people by saying anything, and you can't let people talk well.
