Chapter 20: The Sage's Tavern
In order to hide the child in the Sage Tavern, Ye Cheng and Bai Yingping took advantage of the fact that it was still early in the sky to visit Wu Ying first. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The two of them left Baifu and walked towards the central street, where they walked all the way to the south gate. When they went to the south gate and then west, they entered a side street, and walked next to the south wall, and when they were about to see the west wall, they stopped.
There were very few people in the small streets, not to mention that they walked to the most remote southwest corner of the city.
Turning to the right, Ye Cheng saw a two-story all-wooden house, clinging to the southern city wall. The four characters of the Sage Tavern are engraved on four squares. The four squares are joined together by ropes and are suspended outside the eaves of the first floor.
Walking into the tavern, a figure-7 counter clings to the wall in the center of the tavern, and a number of small wine tanks are placed on the counter. To the right of the counter there is a staircase up to the second floor. As far as the eye could see, there were more than a dozen square tables neatly arranged in the tavern, but no one was seated, and the whole tavern was empty.
Ye Cheng and the others entered the tavern, and a hunchbacked old man who was keeping accounts on the counter walked out and beckoned them to sit down at a square table in front of the counter.
The old man wiped the table with a rag, "What kind of wine do the two guest officers drink?" The shop had all kinds of wine"
"Weng Lao" Bai Yingping said.
The old man known as Weng Lao, when he heard Bai Yingping's voice, turned his head to look over, put his face in front of Bai Yingping, and looked carefully, "Oh, it turned out to be the young general of Baifu." Please forgive me for being old and having useless eyes and not being able to see clearly. I wonder what happened to the old general? ”
"Thank you for your concern, my father-in-law's body has been transported back to Baifu, and it will be buried when the mausoleum is built."
"Although you and I know very well that the general was framed by traitors, the emperor is still kept in the dark. Fortunately, the emperor Nian Zai General Bai did his best for the country, and his military exploits were outstanding, and he was dissatisfied with the beheading of the Bai family. The major general should bury the general's body properly. ”
"Of course, but this time I have other things, I want to find Brother Wu, he is in the tavern now"
Suddenly, Bai Yingping's voice just fell. A blue light swept down the stairs behind Ye Cheng, all the way past Ye Cheng, and stayed on the seat with his back to the counter.
Ye Cheng was startled, his body leaned back, and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, the old man Weng on the side was quick and helped Ye Cheng and lifted him up.
Ye Cheng came to his senses and just wanted to thank Elder Weng. Suddenly, his expression became solemn, he didn't expect this old man who couldn't see clearly to have such a good reaction ability.
Weng Lao dragged Ye Cheng straight, and then walked towards the counter with his back hunched.
Following the direction of Weng Lao's walk, Ye Cheng saw the dazzling blue light that appeared next to him. In the blue light is a man in a blue and white robe, the man has a delicate face, long hair draped over his back, a bundle of hair hanging on the left side of his face, and his left hand is pulled from time to time.
The man appeared until now, sitting quietly on the square table, with his right hand leisurely brushing a folding fan, on which you can see a shadow written on it.
Ye Cheng felt strange and wanted to ask. At this time, Weng Lao held a tray in both hands in front of Ye Cheng. Weng Lao put the tray on the square table, placed the three wine glasses on the tray in front of the three of them, and poured the wine one by one.
Weng Lao didn't say anything after pouring the wine, and stayed behind the man honestly.
Ye Cheng felt more and more strange, who would suddenly appear and not say a word, but pour the wine first. Suddenly, Ye Cheng's eyes were startled, his double holes were enlarged, and he thought of what Bai Yingping said before.
I was swept away by the blue light just now, and I actually forgot about it. After Ye Cheng understood what he meant, he looked at Bai Yingping and saw that he had already picked up the wine glass and drank it all. Ye Cheng also hurriedly drank the wine in the wine glass for the sake of those children.
Suddenly, the blue light on the man's body disappeared, and he slowly picked up the wine glass in front of him with his left hand and drank it all. A smile appeared on his face, which had no expression just now.
The man closed the folding fan and arched his hand to Ye Cheng, "Thank you for admiring my wine"
Ye Cheng also hurriedly returned the gift, "How can you not drink the wine of the shopkeeper Wu, and it is still such a fine wine"
Hearing Ye Cheng's praise, Wu Ying laughed, and even Weng Lao beside him covered his mouth and chuckled.
"What's wrong?" Ye Cheng asked strangely.
"This brother really doesn't understand wine, what kind of good wine is this, it's the second wine that has been flushed with water" Wu Ying laughed, his head slightly tilted towards Weng Lao beside him, "Weng Lao, this brother is, Brother Bai's friend, go get the altar of good wine"
"Yes"
Hearing this, Ye Cheng was a little embarrassed. He usually drinks some beer. He never drank rice wine or liquor. How can you tell the difference between good and bad, plus Wu Ying was expressionless as soon as he appeared, he must have to say something good to flatter him, but he didn't expect to be ashamed.
"Brother Bai, what's going on to make it difficult for you this time" Wu Ying turned the fingers of his right hand, and the folding fan opened quickly, and he brushed it slowly.
Bai Yingping leaned forward, approached Wu Ying and whispered, "Big brother, have you heard of the God-man plan?" ”
When Wu Ying heard this, the folding fan paused, and his eyes slightly turned to Bai Yingping's direction, but he didn't speak, and continued to swing the folding fan.
Bai Yingping saw Wu Ying's appearance and continued, "We want to hide some children of the God-Man Project in your wine cellar, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
After Bai Yingping's words were finished, Wu Ying did not reply for a long time. Ye Cheng noticed Wu Ying's expression and demeanor, and guessed in his heart that this Wu Ying should know the godman's plan.
Just as Ye Cheng wondered why Wu Ying didn't answer, he smiled and said, "If Brother Bai can rescue people, I will naturally be willing to help." But do you know who the general is guarding there now after the last trouble? ”
"Who?" Ye Cheng asked.
"This person's name is Guo Zhang, a military general, his divine strength is yellow and transparent, and the twelve calamities have been unsealed to the 8 caves of the Dan Tribulation, and he is good at using double knives. Animals evolved into eagles. The general's skills are, eagle claws, eagle gnawing, and winged fighting, his wings are very fast, are you sure that you can block the two long knives in his hand? ”
After listening to Wu Ying's words, Ye Cheng's face was a little solemn, this person named Guo Zhang must be very powerful, and the Twelve Tribulations are even higher than Bai Yingping, what should I do in this case?
Ye Cheng looked at Bai Yingping, who was also thinking about something with a solemn expression?
Suddenly, his eyes looked at Wu Ying firmly, "Brother Wu, please rest assured, my mother left an important message before she died, so I haven't decided to die here yet." I will definitely rescue the children, and when the time comes, trouble the eldest brother to help send these children out of the city. ”
"Okay, I just like a man like you," Wu Ying said boldly patting Bai Yingping's shoulder.
At this time, Weng Lao also came over with a pot of wine and poured them one by one.
Wu Ying happily raised his glass, "I am here to toast you, I wish you success"
Although Ye Cheng didn't want to drink, he also clinked glasses with them and drank all the wine in the cup. This time, he chewed and drank slowly, and indeed found that the aroma of the wine was much stronger than the previous one. Good wine is really good wine, but why did Wu Ying use the second wine to drink with them before, Ye Cheng looked puzzled.
"Brother Wu, you actually know the military general named Guo Zhang so well, so do you also know the details of the county order?" Bai Yingping asked after drinking.
"Why do you ask?"
"I've heard that the prefectural ordinance is also involved in the God-man project, so I want to know more about them."
"This county magistrate has just taken office, and I only know that his name is Cao Fu, as for other information, I haven't found out yet."
Just took office! Hearing this, Ye Cheng looked at Wu Ying strangely. If the newly appointed county commander can't get enough information, then why is the general's information so complete? Could it be that the general was in Bai County before? It's so strange, I always feel that this Wu Ying is deliberately hiding this information.
Bai Yingping stood up and bowed his hand, "Then thank you Brother Wu for your help." Some of the children of God's plan are already in the house, now I will settle them in you, and I will rescue the others tonight."
Wu Ying put away the folding fan and stood up, "I'm waiting for you at the back door"
After Ye Cheng and the others walked out of the tavern, Weng Lao approached Wu Ying and whispered, "Why didn't you tell them about Cao Fu?"
Wu Ying looked at the backs of the two of them who left the tavern, and thought deeply, "Now is the best time to test them, tell them that Guo Zhang's details have been made an exception." If they don't pass the test, they won't be of much use in the future. And Cao Fu's ability is difficult to deal with, and it is not difficult to deal with. It's up to them. ”
Wu Ying stood up from his chair, "You follow them tonight"
"Yes"
