Chapter 214: Gray Fox
After leaving the Black Eagle Hall, Dongfang Jin walked slowly with his head down, and somehow, he came to the outside of the Dragon Gate Inn. At this time, the evening breeze is blowing, and a string of red lanterns on the flagpole is fluttering in the wind, which looks so desolate.
The evening breeze in the desert blows like a knife on the face, and even on a June day, it still feels a little cold. Tightly wrapped in a thin robe, Dongfang Jin frowned, still hesitating whether to go in. Thinking that he Dongfang Jin has a proud personality and has never been afraid of anyone, but he met Fan Liuniang. In Dongfang Jin's imagination, his mother-in-law is not a lady, she should be knowledgeable and elegant, but who knows that what entangles him is a woman with a pungent personality and like a man.
Sometimes, Dongfang Jin feels that he is living a very aggrieved life, just two months ago, he lost his body, and the reason for his loss was that he was greedy for Fan Liuniang's two altars of daughter Hong. That night, he was drunk, and when he woke up, he found himself defenseless, and the terrible Liu Niang was still riding on him for a while. Hey, I feel ashamed when I think about it, I think he Dongfang Jin compares himself to a sleeping dragon and phoenix, but he was calculated by a woman.
Thinking of that humiliating night, the corners of Dongfang Jin's eyes were a little moist and then turned around and wanted to leave, but after taking two steps, he stopped again, there were still those two distinguished guests living in the inn, and the big boss personally ordered him to talk to those two people.
The door of the Dragon Gate Inn always has to enter, gritting his teeth, Dongfang Jin walked towards the door with big strides.
Just after about the hour, there was a bang in the inn, and a man shouted in a sharp voice, "It's time to eat, everyone is out!" ”
Ah Zhu covered his mouth and laughed twice, and said in his heart that this Dragon Gate Inn is really different. Even the meals are timed and fixed. Stretched out his hand and shook Zhao Yougong, who was still closing his eyes and recuperating. Azhu shouted quietly. "Childe, it's time to go down to dinner!"
"Okay, let's go together!" got up and put on cloth boots, and when he went out, Zhao Yougong quietly pulled down Ah Zhu's sleeve and whispered in his ear, "Ah Zhu, it's natural to watch Xi àn at night." There is a mezzanine next to the earthen kang in the guest room! ”
Hearing Zhao Yougong's words, Ah Zhu was really taken aback, since he entered the guest room, he had been observing the Yiqiqi in the room, why didn't she find that there was a mezzanine next to the earthen kang? Most people who walk the rivers and lakes know what it means to have a mezzanine in a room, which means that others can stand in the mezzanine and monitor the qiē in the room.
"Childe, how did you find out?"
"Do you really think I'm going to sleep on the kang?" Zhao Yougong didn't explain much, with Azhu's cleverness, as long as he paid more attention at night. You can definitely find out. In fact, Zhao Yougong found that the method of the mezzanine was not clever, as long as he listened carefully. You'll be able to hear something.
The meals in the inn are not rich, and the meals are all prescribed by the inn, and the guests are also what they eat, and they have no right to pick and choose. Today's meal was good, three dishes, and the main food was steamed buns.
Because Fan Liuniang had been boasting about how delicious the buns were, Zhao Yougong didn't eat vegetables, so he grabbed a bun first, took a bite, and his eyes suddenly widened, "The skin is thin, juicy, and the meat is fragrant, it's really delicious!" ”
"Giggles, brother has won the prize, come, sister will reward you with a jar of wine!" Fan Liuniang appeared behind him like a ghost, Zhao Yougong looked at the jar of wine on the table, and hurriedly smiled, "Then thank you Sixth Sister." ”
"What's polite, my sister likes money, you give a lot of money, and my sister naturally wants to take care of you. You, don't want some people who have no conscience, eat something, and don't say hello, it's just a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed! ”
Fan Liuniang had a lot of sarcasm in her words, and she didn't know who she was laughing at. With Fan Liuniang's words, there was a man at the other table whose neck shrank, and his shoulders trembled slightly.
Zhao Yougong laughed in his heart, it seems that half of Fan Liuniang's words were aimed at that man. Sure enough, before the man turned his head, Fan Liuniang had already walked over, "Gray fox, don't you know that the old lady is not allowed to eat white food here?" Did you eat and give money? ”
Dongfang Jin lowered his head stiffly, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, since he came to the inn, he blocked his face and did it in the corner, but he didn't expect that in the end, he still didn't escape this woman's eyes.
"Liuniang, why do you have to do this? Will a certain family still lack your money? Say, how much do you want? ”
Fan Liuniang stretched out a white jade hand, opened her small mouth, and giggled, "A bun is 10,000 yuan, I don't know how many you have eaten?" ”
"Ahem Liuniang, are you too much? Why do others eat, a hundred wen, a certain family eats, it is 10,000 yuan, that is made of gold, and it is not worth so much money! Dongfang Jin's face was dark, he knew that Liu Niang would definitely slaughter him, but he didn't expect to slaughter him so ruthlessly.
Fan Liuniang sneered, her long skirt was mentioned, and one long leg was placed on the stool, "Giggles, gray fox, don't you understand?" You, in the heart of the old lady is very different, do you think it's unfair, the old lady just likes it! ”
"Everyone, tonight's meal is free, even if my sister invites you!" After Fan Liuniang said this, a pair of phoenix eyes glanced at Dongfang Jin defiantly.
The other diners in the inn didn't care what Dongfang Jin thought in his heart, and shouted one by one with buns, "Sixth sister is the best, thank you Sixth Sister Mr. Dongfang for giving money!" ”
Listening to the noise in his ears, Dongfang Jin's face was even more ugly, and it was not possible to grab a hot bun and eat it, nor would he not eat it. Although Liuniang is very spicy, the buns she makes are really delicious, and over the years, she has developed a habit, if she doesn't eat Liuniang's buns every month, she won't be comfortable.
"Liuniang, you know, a certain family doesn't have so much money!"
"That's not simple, spit out everything you just ate, as long as you can spit it out, the old lady won't charge you money!"
Dongfang Jin raised his head and stared, looking at Fan Liuniang's smug smile, he frowned, and took a big bite of the bun again. Anyway, it's all embarrassing, are you afraid of losing more, he Dongfang Jin, he is going to eat white food today.
Dongfang Jin and Fan Liuniang's affairs, Zhao Yougong saw them all, it was really interesting. I saw Lai San's demeanor when he mentioned Mr. Dongfang in his mouth, it was respectful, and he thought that this Mr. Dongfang was also a capable person, but he didn't expect this person to be eaten to death by the innkeeper.
Halfway through the meal, a richly dressed man slowly walked down from the second floor, and as he walked, the man yawned, looking in the hall, seeing that there was still a vacant seat on Zhao Yougong's table, he did it, and said with a smile, "Brother Tai, let's have some dinner, you won't mind, right?" ”
"Of course, this son is empty and empty!" Zhao Yougong glanced at the man and turned his gaze away. This man is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, he is dignified and heroic, judging by his demeanor, it is absolutely impossible for him to be a man among the sand bandits, is this one of the distinguished guests?
Zhao Yougong and Ah Zhu didn't talk much, they were just eating, but the noble man was very cheerful, he copied the food, and borrowed the jar of wine on the table and poured a little, "A certain Xixia Li Qiankun, I don't know what Your Excellency says?" ”
"A businessman in Tokyo, as for the name, don't say it, but the son is very extraordinary, surnamed Li, I don't know if the son is a member of the Western Xia royal family?"
"Hehe, my brother is smart, yes, my son is the king of Suning in Western Xia, if you go to Xingqing Mansion in the future, my brother can report the name of this king!"
King Suning? I really didn't expect a prince of Xixia to come to this desert ancient town where birds don't, at this time Zhao Yougong had many doubts in his heart, Li Qiankun would definitely not be too simple to come here, could it be that the Xixia people also took a fancy to this sand bandit and wanted to take it for their own use?
After dinner, Zhao Yougong and A Zhu honestly returned to the room, because they were very tired after a day of traveling, and now no one disturbed them, so they lay down on the kang to rest.
Lying with a man with strong blood, Azhu is always a little unaccustomed, even if his body has been seen by this man. In the middle of the night, there was a slight ringing in his ears, Azhu was very sensitive, his eyes moved slightly, and he wanted to get up and go out to have a look. It's just that before he could act, Zhao Yougong pinched her hand hard.
Ah Zhu reacted instantly, could it be that someone else deliberately tested them? Instinctively, Ah Zhu chose to obey, and the two lay quietly on the bed, and after a while, the voice gradually decreased until it disappeared.
In the mezzanine, Dongfang Jin carefully observed the small hole, and after seeing that the two people in the room were not abnormal, he couldn't help frowning, could it really be that he was thinking too much? There is no problem with these two?
After thinking about it for a while, he called the guy next to him and whispered a few words, and the guy nodded and left the mezzanine.
In the dark night, I couldn't see my fingers, and the knife-like wind outside the inn still didn't stop.
In the T-shaped room, I don't know when, a person came to the window, and after piercing the window paper, someone came to insert a small bamboo pipe into the small hole, and then aimed his mouth and blew it gently. A thin smoke poured into the room, and there was even a little peculiar smell, and the two of them still slept soundly on the kang, and they didn't react at all.
Dongfang Jin touched his chin and exhaled a long breath, so tentative, there was no change. Either these two are really not abnormal, or these two are too shrewd.
In Longmen County, Lin Chong wrote a letter and handed it directly to Lu Zhishen, "Brother, this letter will be sent to Mr. Tongzhou Zhang!" ”
"Okay!"
Lu Zhishen said goodbye and left, although it was late at night, he still left the dragon gate overnight. At this time, Zhao Yougong personally entered the desert, so he couldn't delay for a moment, once there was a problem with the cooperation, then Zhao Yougong would die in the Longmen Desert.
Sending Lu Zhishen away, Lin Chong's expression was not relaxed, this time to exterminate the Longmen sand bandits, it can be said that it is dangerous, and he is not even fifty percent sure. (To be continued......)
