Chapter 65: Red Date Noodle Soup
It was already dark, and the oil lamps in the house were flickering. Pang Tong looked at the two red dates soaked in the noodle soup and did not pick up the chopsticks.
"Are you wondering why there are not one, not three, but two red dates in the noodle soup?" Jia Xu asked.
Pang Tong shook his head and said, "No, I'm just thinking, why do you have to boil these two red dates, the boiled red dates are not delicious." ”
Jia Xu squinted his eyes, took a sip of noodle soup and said with a smile: "One of these two is you, and the other is Ma Hong, this bowl is Wancheng, and this noodle soup is the wind and cloud of Wancheng." You have come to a place where you shouldn't be, and you want to do things that you shouldn't do, if you don't listen to Uncle Shi's advice and continue to fight against Uncle Shi, you two will be soaked up sooner or later. ”
Pang Tong sighed, picked up the bowl and drank all the bowl of noodle soup, leaving only two red dates in the bowl, and then smiled and said: "The wind and clouds in this Wancheng have been swallowed by me, so can I control the wind and clouds now?" ”
Li Ru on the side laughed and said: "This son is good at arguing, and the senior brother has accepted a good apprentice." ”
Pang Tong also laughed and said: "I didn't expect it! In addition to the teacher's junior brother like Uncle Jia, who is scheming the world, and Uncle Li, there are also poisoners like Uncle Li, and the teacher's life is really boring compared to you. ”
Li Ru was ridiculed by Pang Tong, but he was not angry, but laughed even happier, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes wrinkled together, and said to Jia Xu: "Senior brother, it seems that this master and nephew are not easy to deal with, you have to be careful." ”
Jia Xu smiled and said to Pang Tong: "You played a good move, but if I find out Ma Hong now, your layout will not all be messed up." ”
Pang Tong smiled at Jia Xu and did not speak. There is ridicule written on his face, it is clear that you have the ability to find out Ma Hong, even if you find out, it will not help.
Jia Xu didn't want to find out Ma Hong, he found Pang Tong three days ago, but this Pang Tong had never had contact with Ma Hong. Jia Xu now understands that it was no coincidence that he met Pang Tong and Ma Hong in the city a year ago. Now Jia Xu can already conclude that the senior brother wants to play against him with the hands of these two sons, and he wants to win.
"Cao Cao will be able to arrive in Wancheng tomorrow, they want to wait for Cao Cao to enter the city, and then design to stimulate the contradiction between Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu, if they succeed at that time, I am afraid it will be unimaginable." Jia Xu said secretly in his heart.
Pang Tong touched his nose, picked up a red date with chopsticks and said, "Uncle Shi, I guess you're thinking now, what plan will we do when Cao Cao enters the city, right?" ”
Jia Xu snorted lightly and said, "I think you are poor!" Soak in the tavern all day long to get close to Childe, this is also a strategy? ”
Pang Tong suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Uncle Shi, I have been in the tavern all day long, not to get close to Zhang Quan, but to wait for you to come to me, Uncle Shi." ”
Pang Tong originally had a Xiangyang accent, but when he spoke to Jia Xu, he used the accent of the Central Plains for the first half of the sentence, and the accent of Peiguo (now Anhui, Cao Cao's hometown is in Anhui) for the second half of the sentence. Pang Tong's mother is a native of Peiguo, and Xiangyang is close to Nanyang, Pang Tong likes to wander around, so naturally he also got acquainted with some famous people in the Central Plains, and over time he learned the accent of the Central Plains.
"I approached Zhang Quan just to tell him that I was from Xiangyang in my pure Xiangyang accent, but I only spoke to him today, and I used an Anhui accent when I was drunk and babbling gibberish two days ago."
Pang Tong said word by word to Jia Xu in a Central Plains accent.
The surprise in Jia Xu's eyes was fleeting, and he took Pang Tong's words and said: "According to your appearance, it is not okay for people not to pay attention in a tavern, you know that I will look for you sooner or later, so I deliberately approached Childe, and you know that I can't let you have too much contact with Childe, because I am afraid that you will find out the news." So you expect me to send someone to take you away, so that Childe will follow, and he will suspect me, and if I guess correctly, Childe should be around here by now. ”
Pang Tong smiled slightly, pointed to the roof slightly with chopsticks holding red dates, and then suddenly raised his voice and said: "Mr. Jia, my lord will be able to arrive in Wancheng tomorrow, and I hope that Mr. Jia will act according to the plan when the time comes." ”
In addition to the characteristic of being ugly, Pang Tong also has another characteristic, that is, his sense of hearing is very sensitive, even if it is a slight sound on the roof, he can hear it. After Pang Tong finished speaking, he looked at Jia Xu's face with a smile on his face, Jia Xu's expression was very good-looking, a trace of indescribable things flashed in the fox's eyes, and then he opened his mouth to speak without making a sound, but Pang Tong heard it very clearly, and the sentence was clear: Don't you want to die?
"Of course it's fatal, I was just playing tricks on Uncle Shi just now, even if Zhang Quan followed, he wouldn't lie on the roof of your house and eavesdrop on us." After Pang Tong finished speaking, he whistled.
Then there was the sound of footsteps on the roof, and then the door was opened, and three men in black entered, two masked men who could not see their age, and a middle-aged man with a face exposed.
As soon as the middle-aged man with his face showed his face, he saluted Jia Xu and Li Ru. Jia Xu looked at the man with a gloomy face and said, "Zhu Yun, you still like to hide on the roof like before. ”
The man known as Zhu Yun lowered his head and said, "Master Pang, it's time for us to go." ”
Pang Tong smiled, stood up and saluted Jia Xu and Li Ru, and then said to Jia Xu: "Uncle Jia, now that you know each other, you should know Zhu Yun's ability, I think I want to leave, Uncle Shi shouldn't be able to stop me." Uncle Shi, you won't embarrass me! ”
Jia Xu glanced at Zhu Yun, then stood up and said to Pang Tong: "Then Uncle will send you!" ”
The first to discover the man in black was Jia Ru, as soon as she saw the man in black admitted to the hospital, she thought that an assassin was coming, and immediately ran to her father's room with a sword, and Jia Xu's eldest son Jia Mu arrived later. The sword was unsheathed when Jia Mu came, but when he saw Zhu Yun's face, he closed the sword.
"Brother Zhu, long time no see." Jamu said.
Zhu Yun nodded and said, "Childe has always been good?" ”
Jamu said: "It's okay. ”
Pang Tong walked up to Jia Ru with a smile and said with a smile: "A woman who likes to draw a sword has a taste." ”
Jia Ru glared at Pang Tongyi, looked at Jia Xu again, and did not speak. At this time, as long as Jia Xu signaled to her, she would not hesitate to stab Pang Tong with her sword.
"Ru'er, you can send one to your brother for your father." After Jia Xu finished speaking, he returned to the room and closed the door.
After Pang Tong left Jiafu, he left Wancheng with Zhu Yun while the city gate was not closed. Pang Tong walked to the south gate when he left Wancheng, but after leaving Wancheng, he rode on his horse and walked north, Pang Tong knew that Zhang Quan was following behind at this moment, and he wanted Zhang Quan to think that he was Cao Cao's person. Zhang Quan took a horse from the city gate guard, followed Pang Tong far away, and walked more than 20 miles north, and only after determining that Pang Tong was going in the direction of Cao Cao's camp, he reined in his horse and returned to Wancheng.
Jia Xu sat in front of the oil lamp, looked at the flickering oil lamp, sighed and said, "I didn't expect to be put in a position by a stinky boy at such an old age." ”
Li Ru smiled slightly: "Oh? Is it really a pose? Or did you do it on purpose, brother? ”
Jia Xu stroked his beard, plucked off a beard and placed it on the flames, and the beard was quickly burned out.
Li Ru looked at Jia Xu and said secretly in his heart: Senior brother still retains such a habit, and he always likes to pull out a beard whenever he thinks about things.
"I originally wanted to leave early tomorrow morning, but now it seems that I have to leave tonight, if I let Zhang Xiu bump into me, I'm afraid that no matter how clever your mouth is, I can't tell it clearly." Li Ru stood up and walked towards the door.
Jia Xu nodded and said: "I wanted Ru'er to send you to Shuijing Villa, but now it seems impossible, and now no one in the house can go out, otherwise it will be worse." ”
"I know." Li Ru nodded and walked out, closing the door.
