Chapter 26: The Wind and Rain Are Like Obscure People Like Ghosts (2)
ββ¦β¦ I've heard of ......," the young man nodded honestly.
"It seems that you are not too uninformed!" Liu Ji grinned, smiled, and praised: "Then Liu Ji heard that it is amazing, he is the most famous ranger in Wancheng!" I heard that in the entire Wancheng now, it is Taishou who has the final say during the day, and at night, it is he who has the final say! β
"Ah, I know. He's pretty good. The young man nodded.
"It's more than amazing! It's just ......" Liu Ji scratched his head, thought about it for a long time, and didn't come up with a suitable adjective, and looked a little embarrassed: "It's just very powerful!" β
But he immediately shook his head again, dispelling the embarrassment: "Do you know that I am brothers with him?" β
ββ¦β¦ It's true? The young man's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Liu Ji in surprise.
"Of course! I haven't told you my name yet, have I? Listen, my name is Liu Ji! Liu is the same Liu as that Liu Xuan! Of course I'm a brother to him! Liu Ji patted his chest triumphantly.
"But...... There are too many people with the surname Liu in the world...... Could it be that as long as they have the same surname, they are all brothers? The young man couldn't laugh or cry.
"That's not the same! I heard that he was from a former dynasty clan! Do you know what a clan is? It's the Liu family of the former Emperor of the Han Dynasty! And what about me......" Liu Ji smiled: "My father said, our family is also a clan!" Therefore, I and Liu Xuan are both handed down from the same ancestor! It's a little farther apart, but of course they're brothers! β
"Original...... So ......" The young man's head oozed a little bead of sweat, and he could only smile bitterly and nod again and again.
"So you think, if I go into the city and find that Liu Xuan, in the spirit of brotherhood, even if he doesn't give me half of Wancheng or something, he will let me take care of a few streets, right? At that time, I will not be much happier than farming in Bowang's hometown! β
He ...... Maybe......" The young man scratched his head, and could only smile helplessly.
"By the way, I told you my name, but you haven't told me yet! You are a scholar, you might as well be a farmer who knows how to count etiquette! What's your name? Liu Ji asked suddenly.
"Ah, I...... Call...... My name is Zhao ...... Zhao Cheng ......" The young man was stunned for a moment, and then stammered and replied.
"It took me a long time to say a name! Are you really good at reading? Liu Ji looked at Zhao Cheng with disgust: "What about you?" What are you doing in Wancheng? β
"I'll ...... Looking for my brother. β
"Your brother? What's his name? Where to stay? What for? β
"I ...... I don't know ......," Zhao Cheng replied with his head down.
"I don't know anything, how do you find someone?" Liu Ji rolled his eyes.
"That's it...... Ask someone......" Zhao Cheng thought about it and spread his hands.
Liu Ji took two steps back, his eyes looked Zhao Cheng up and down, and he could see that his whole body was hairy.
"I see, you don't want to read any books, you might as well mess with me!"
"What......?" Zhao was taken aback: "I ......"
"What are you! That's it! Liu Ji furrowed his brows and glared at Zhao Cheng: "Don't worry, from the water you gave me just now, I can see that you kid is a good person!" It's really useless, but it's faithful! Anyway, you're stupid, and it won't be useful to continue studying, so it's better to follow me! When I enter the city, I'll take you to find that Liu Xuan! After he divides a piece of land, you will be my first subordinate! β
After speaking, Liu Ji didn't care whether Zhao Cheng was willing or not, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed: "You're welcome, it's decided!" β
Zhao Cheng blinked his eyes and wanted to speak, but he didn't know how to say it, so he could only make a bitter face and let out a long sigh.
By the time the two of them finally entered the city, it was already in the west.
"Haha! Wancheng! I'm here!! Walking into the city wall, looking at Wancheng, which is many times more magnificent than Bowang Township, Liu Ji raised his hands and cheered loudly. But then, there was a gurgling sound in his stomach.
Liu Ji frowned, covered his stomach, and turned his head to look at Zhao Cheng behind him: "I said, are you hungry?" β
"I'm a little hungry......" Zhao Cheng nodded honestly.
"Haha! Let's go! I'll take you to dinner! Liu Ji couldn't help but take Zhao Cheng's hand and strode towards the city.
"Hey! Wait a minute! I ......" Although Zhao Cheng kept shouting behind him, Liu Ji's hand was like an iron hoop, pulling him to stumble forward involuntarily so as not to fall. As for what he was shouting in his mouth, Liu Ji naturally couldn't hear anything.
Along the avenue inside the city gate, Liu Ji strode straight inside. Although it was the first time he came to Wancheng, he didn't know any roads, but for him, he didn't need to know the road at all to find food - just by his nose.
Standing at the entrance of an alley, Liu Ji suddenly stopped, sniffed hard, then smiled, and pulled Zhao Cheng into the alley.
In the alley, there was a small door, and there was no mark next to the door, and there was no decoration. But the door was wide open, and from time to time people came in and out, not like ordinary people.
"Hehe, I just smelled it, this wine and food are the best! Come, let's eat here! Liu Ji stood at the door, sniffled up and down again, and turned his head to Zhao Chengdao affirmatively.
Zhao Cheng, on the other hand, stared at the door, then turned his head and looked at Liu Ji like a monster.
"Look at what! No matter how expensive it is, you don't have to pay for it! Don't be afraid! Liu Ji glared at Zhao Cheng and dragged him into the door.
Although the faΓ§ade looks ordinary, as soon as you walk through the door, you will find two completely different worlds.
"Hello guests~"
Liu Ji's eyes widened, looking at the two charming young girls on the left and right, bending down to salute him, their mouths open so that they could almost stuff three eggs.
The white arms, the towering breasts, and the charming smile on his face were all things he had never seen in the poor countryside of Bowang.
And the lanterns in the courtyard inside the door, carved beams and painted columns, are even more extravagant so that he doesn't believe his eyes. In the small building in front of them, the laughter of women and the persuasion of men were still heard.
"Guest, please come with the slave~"
In front of the two of them was a slightly older woman. Compared with the girls on both sides, the dress is slightly more conservative, but the touch of style in the slightly curved eyes is far from being comparable to a young girl.
"This ...... It's ......"
Liu Ji stayed in place in a daze, at a loss, not knowing what to do.
"Let's go......" Zhao Cheng shook his head secretly, sighed lightly, but took the initiative to pat Liu Ji's shoulder and walked inside.
"By the way, get dressed."
Zhao Cheng glanced back at the short shirt that Liu Ji was still wearing on his shoulders, and reminded helplessly.
Liu Ji saw that Zhao Cheng had already followed the older woman and walked inward, so he hurriedly put on his shirt and followed behind Zhao Cheng.
