The accompanying Jinyi guards tied the horses, carried the silver, and followed the Mongolian boss to the upstairs room.

Only a slender Jinyi Wei followed Fang Yuan and Jing Jie into the lobby of the tavern.

Before the three of them had taken a few steps, Fang Yuan suddenly asked about a familiar fragrance, he was slightly stunned, he had already understood, and turned to look at Jin Yiwei behind Jing Jie, who lowered his head, "Xiao Yuan, are you playing this kind of trick again?!" ”

Xiao Yuan raised his head, stretched out his tongue, took off the hat of the Jinyi Guard, and his long black and beautiful hair was scattered over his shoulders, and he said hesitantly, "I'm worried that there will be no one to warm tea and bring water along the way, and I will follow to serve Childe." ”

Fang Yuan was deeply helpless to follow her like a shadow, and looked sideways at Jing Jie and said, "Third child, you also learn to cut first and then play like the fourth?" ”

Jing Jie showed an embarrassed look on his face and pleaded guilty to him, "Boss, I also found out halfway that she was hiding in the pile of goods in the carriage, since the raw rice has become cooked rice, I can only bring her here." ”

Fang Yuan looked at Xiao Yuan's pitiful eyes looking at him, his heart softened, although she was a little willful, but after all, she was reluctant to leave herself, so she forgave her, "Let's go!" ”

The three of them entered the gate of the tavern, which was very large, and in the backyard was a large fire, around which sat at least two hundred businessmen drinking and having fun.

The circular corridor surrounding the backyard was full of people, and even the second floor was crowded with people.

A group of business travelers who speak various ethnic languages are gossiping, hugging the drinking woman next to them, drinking, scolding, talking and laughing, foul language, and high-minded talk.

Fang Yuan, Jing Jie, and Xiao Yuan all entered together, and everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, almost all of them fell on the little beauty Xiao Yuan, and a few strong men even began to talk about something in a low voice, and even three Mongolians whistled to flirt, and one of them wanted to pull Xiao Yuan's clothes, but Xiao Yuan threw him and dodged away.

It is impossible to take Xiao Yuan without swaggering through the market, the husband is not guilty, and it is helpless to attract the ill-intentioned eyes of others, Fang Yuan secretly smiled bitterly, and could only cover up the water with soldiers.

"Brother Jingjie! How did you get there?! ”

In the distance, a man dressed in Hanfu, wearing a sheepskin hat on the grassland, and wool felt stood up to greet Jing Jie.

Jing Jie raised his eyes and whispered, "This is my friend of life and death, the first firearm of the Tianxiong Army, Li Zongze." ”

Jing Jie took Fang Yuan and the others to Li Zongze's seat, saying that it was a seat, but in fact, a big red cloth was spread out in the open space, and seven or eight people sat together.

Li Zongze is a twenty-five or six-year-old man, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his face is full of vicissitudes left by the vicissitudes of life due to the dining style, and there is a trace of unruly eyes.

Li Zongze warmly invited Jing Jie to the table, but left Fang Yuan aside.

Jing Jie didn't dare to sit at the table, and Chong Fangyuan introduced, "Boss, this is my brother, who used to be one hundred households in the Tianxiong Arms Battalion, Li Zongze." ”

He said to Li Zongze again, "Brother, this is my boss, Jinyi Wei Baihu Fangyuan." ”

Li Zongze squinted at Fang Yuan, no matter how he looked at it, he was a sissy with fine skin and tender meat, and said with a disdainful sneer, "Brother Jing, why do you want to follow those ladies and dogs, it's better to follow my brothers, when you have money, you will drink and eat meat, and when you have no money, you will kill and kill people, sell and sell leather goods, it is better than following the ladies and dogs." ”

Jing Jie saw that he was a lady and dog official when he opened his mouth and closed his mouth, and it was clear that he didn't take Fang Yuan, who had fine skin and tender meat, in his eyes, and he waited to talk about it, but he was stopped by Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan rushed straight to him, and said with a calm face, "This brother, what did the lady dog official say about me?" ”

Li Zongze took a sip, spit out a mouthful of meat on the ground, glanced at Fang Yuan obliquely, but his eyes fell on Xiao Yuan behind Fang Yuan, his eyes lit up, and he teased, "This girl is good, how much silver will sleep with me all night?" ”

Xiao Yuan was so frightened that he hid behind Fang Yuan and snorted softly, "Childe! ”

Fang Yuan grabbed Li Zongze's collar fiercely and said sharply, "You say it again?" ”

Li Zongze was slightly stunned, and the seven or eight people who were with him saw that Fang Yuan dared to cause trouble first, so they got up and drew their swords.

Jing Jie saw that the two sides did not agree on a word, and hurriedly persuaded peace, "Brother Zongze, he is my boss, no matter how drunk you are squirting dung, we don't even have to be brothers." ”

Li Zongze saw it for Jing Jie's sake, so he ordered the few people accompanying him to sit down, then pushed away Fang Yuan's grasp, straightened the felt on his collar, and said in a cold voice, "For Brother Jing's sake, spare you this time, since the words are not speculative, you don't have to sit together to drink wine and eat meat!" ”

Li Zongze returned to his seat, drank by himself, and ignored Fang Yuan and the others.

The bearded Mongolian boss came up and spread a big red cloth for Fang Yuan and the three of them, Fang Yuan ordered a pot of mare's milk wine outside the plug, and five catties of hand-grabbed mutton, Xiao Yuan didn't want to drink mare's milk tea, so he only ordered a few pieces of cheese and ate it in small bites.

Soon after sitting down, the Mongolian boss brought wine and meat, compared eight fingers, and said in a broken original dialect, "Eight taels, eight taels." ”

Fang Yuan was slightly stunned, just ordering wine and meat, he actually asked for eight taels, this is blackmail?

Xiao Yuan took out eight taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to the Mongolian boss.

The Mongolian boss looked at the eight taels of silver, was stunned for a moment, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he said a bunch of Mongolian words that Fang Yuan couldn't understand.

Fang Yuan silently looked at the back of the Mongolian boss retreating, and felt faintly inappropriate in his heart, looked at Xiao Yuan, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Yuan, that bit of wine and meat costs eight taels of silver, it is clearly a temptation, and we are so generous, it proves that we still have a lot of money with us." ”

Jing Jie also agreed with Fang Yuan's statement, "It's really too refreshing to give, let's be careful." ”

Xiao Yuan wanted to pay the money in advance to alleviate the sin of not telling the money, but he didn't expect to show his feet in the lavish money, and he secretly regretted it, and whispered, "Childe, I'm really stupid, I ......"

Fang Yuan secretly thought, who said that the Mongols had well-developed limbs and simple minds? This Mongolian boss is clearly shrewd, like a wild wolf on the steppe.

Fang Yuan smiled and comforted Xiao Yuan and said, "Whatever, if you show your stuffing, what are you afraid of?!" ”

Fang Yuan held the wine glass in his left hand and the barbecue in his right hand, ate and drank heavily, and asked in his mouth, "Third brother, all of your old troops in the Xiong Army these days are thorns in the army, and they don't obey discipline!" ”

Jing Jie said embarrassedly, "They are all the elite of the firearms battalion of the Tianxiong Army, and they are proficient in all kinds of firearms and artillery, and even the Hongyi cannon can be used." The bad temper is also because of the death of Inspector Lu, which made them very disappointed in the Ming officials, and the boss should not be like them. ”

Fang Yuan ate wine and meat noncommittally, and capable people had some tempers, which was very ordinary. Li Zongze's gang dared to fight with a saber in this kind of border town bazaar where the forces of various ethnic groups converged, it was needless to say that they were brave and brave, this kind of talent was the most ideal source of soldiers in Fang Yuan's mind.

Fang Yuan was not a person with a small belly, nor was he angry at the humiliation of Li Zongze and others, but was thinking about how to subdue this group of unruly army thorns, which was a tricky job.

He thought that in this unfamiliar place, with a little beauty like a flower, it was still low-key, low-key and low-key, and it was better to show up less, and after eating wine and meat in a hurry, he went back to the room with Jing Jie and Xiaoyuan to rest.

The Mongolian boss vacated a total of five rooms, and Jing Jie's arrangement was one each for Fang Yuan and Xiaoyuan, and he and twenty brocade guards lived in three rooms.

Xiao Yuan hurriedly said, "Twenty-one brocade guards are crowded into three rooms, that's too crowded, or I live with my son, and make one more room, a little more spacious." ”

Fang Yuan was stunned, as soon as she said this, she showed in public that she was Fang Yuan's woman, and she also lived in one room and slept together on weekdays, but she thought about Jinyiwei every sentence, Fang Yuan couldn't refute it, so he could only respond to her suggestion and sleep with her by himself.
