Chapter 5: The Yak Inn's Clever Reconnaissance
Ximen Jian had already seen the peeking eyes of those people with the peripheral vision of his eyes, but he still looked very reserved, took out the provincial city's broad and small style, didn't even talk about his eyelids, and said: "It's still according to the standard of noon, just come up."
"Okay, Master Dongfang, you later," the proprietress agreed, and hurriedly walked into the back kitchen
After a while, Ximen Jian's dishes were ready, and the shopkeeper served them the same
Ximen Jian and Xiaohuzi ate and drank calmly and unhurriedly
However, some of the rough men sitting around the big table still turned their heads from time to time to look at Ximen Jian and Xiaohuzi eating and drinking, "let's go, let's go", swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and their eyes seemed to be full of jealousy and envy
"Hehe...... Ximen Jian sneered in his heart, and said in his heart, you guys are greedy
But on the surface, he remained silent, glanced at them again from the corner of his eye, and continued to eat the wine and food as if no one was around, and deliberately made the drinking bowl "crackle", and threw the leftover bones under the large table near the window......
I only heard someone over there whispering:
"I'm a grass mother, this year, the rich is the uncle, and the one who has no money is the third grandson, and the family can eat whatever they want, it's really fucking chic and happy."
"Hey...... Didn't we drink wine in big bowls and eat meat in big bowls when we used to be in the mountains, what do you envy people for?"
"But now that this little devil is here, our good days will come to an end......"
"Damn, if you have money, you can be the king of grass, you can be chic, you can buy guns, you cannons, you are not afraid of the government, you are not afraid of wolves, ......"
"Don't look at the kid next to me, with a few stinky money in his hand, pretending to be like someone will smash the kiln sooner or later......"
"Hey, you fucking whisper, don't let people hear"
……
When Ximen Jian heard their words, he was wondering about their identities in his heart, and he couldn't help but see with the rest of his eyes that all the dishes and plates on the table over there had been eaten
At this time, the shopkeeper brought a big bowl of pork stewed vermicelli
Ximen Jian glanced at Xiaohuzi with his eyes, and Xiaohuzi understood the meaning, he took the bowl of dishes, walked to the table with a smile, and said, "Hehe...... Bosses, we want more dishes to eat, if you don't dislike it, you can't use it slowly."
"Oh, it's great, Lao Tzu, this table has already eaten empty bowls, don't dislike it, don't dislike it," said a black-faced man, stretched out his whirlwind chopsticks, picked up a large piece ......of pork and stuffed it into his mouth: "Mom, it's so fragrant, come on, brothers, eat it......"
Those men stretched out their chopsticks one by one, took a bite and ate them into their mouths, and then they all raised their heads in surprise, and immediately stopped the noise, and turned their eyes to Ximen Jian's side......
Ximen Jian saw that the time had come to no longer put up a shelf in the provincial city, hugged their fists and said with a smile: "Hehe...... A piece of cake is not a tribute, please try it, brothers, even if the younger brother is in for a treat."
The black-faced man stood up and stared at Ximen Jian for a moment, and said in his heart that this provincial city is wide and young, but he is not very generous, but he doesn't know what kind of person he is, and now he is in troubled times, if he is careful and has never known each other, he doesn't want to go deeper, he hesitated for a moment, thought about it again, anyway, it is not a big deal to eat a few side dishes from him, and asked Ximen Jian with a fist:
"This ...... This little brother is so generous, I don't know where you are from."
Ximen Jian also hugged his fists at the black-faced man, looked at him very kindly, and said: "Below is Dongfang Bai, the young son of Rongfa Pharmacy in Heijiliao Province."
"Oh, it turned out to be Dongfang Gongzi, fortunately, I will be fortunate to be ......," the black-faced man said again
Everyone else also stood up and hugged their fists at Ximen Kenyi and said, "I've seen Dongfang Gongzi"
"I've seen the Oriental Child"
"I've seen the Oriental Child"
……
"Hehe...... "Ximen Jian smiled slightly, stood up and made a very humble appearance, and politely saluted them one by one: "A piece of cake is not a respect, come on, boss, please put all the dishes we didn't bring to that table."
The proprietress agreed, and sure enough, she brought a good dish to the table over there
Ximen Jian smiled and said, "Please sit down and eat and drink slowly......
While eating and drinking, those men couldn't stop praising the "Oriental Prince" for his righteousness and squandering money
After eating and drinking, Ximen Jian stood up and came to their table, smiled and hugged his fists, and asked, "Brothers, slow down, little brothers retired first."
Those men stood up politely, and the black-faced man said, "I'm really sorry, we came here today to spend the money and let Dongfang Gongzi break the bank."
As he spoke, he clenched his fist to Ximen Ken again
Ximen Jian asked, "May I ask who the big brother is?"
Ximen Jian asked this, none of them were silent, and they were all looking at the black-faced man with their eyes
"Hehe...... the black-faced man smiled unnaturally and said, "We are villagers from the south side of the town who are here to do some business."
"Oh, hey, hey......" Ximen Jian knew that he wasn't telling the truth, smiled and said, "That's good, that's good, you guys have taken a step ahead of time."
With that, Ximen Jian walked to the guest room
He walked a few steps and saw that there was no one around, so he turned around and asked Xiaohuzi to return to the restaurant and keep an eye on the whereabouts of those people
Ximen Jian went back to the guest room to rest
Two hours later, the little tiger returned
Ximen Jian hurriedly asked, "Where did those people go?"
"They all went to a large courtyard on the west side of the town after eating, and they didn't come out for half a day."
"You didn't ask what that house does."
"I asked what the name of the hostess in that house was unmanned...... By the way, it's called Liu Lianhua."
"Liu Lianhua" Ximen Jian's heart was shocked
He had long heard that there was a Mongolian woman named Liu Lianhua, who was a very famous courtesan, and she was also the closest county garrison to here, and Wang Daji, the commander of the Imperial Association of Heishui County, was very friendly
Moreover, this woman is involved in black and white, and has a relationship with many local bandits and Japanese puppet government garrisons
Then it is possible for this Liu Lianhua to know the inside story of the robbery of Yangcao......
Thinking of this, Ximen Jian suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, let's go find her."
Xiaohuzi looked at Ximen Jian suspiciously, and asked, "Deputy Division Commander, what are you ......?"
Ximen Jian waved his hand: "Let's go and visit that girl now"
Since Xiaohuzi followed Ximen Jian, he has matured a lot under Ximen Jian's words and deeds, and he is no longer naughty and willful, and said with some concern:
"Deputy division commander, I heard that Liu Lianhua is merry-loving, ruthless, and has a group of beautiful bodyguards under him, all of whom are outlaws, will there be any danger if we go?"
