Chapter 153: To Drink or Not to Drink

Five thick fingerprints suddenly appeared on the girl's pale cheeks, faintly oozing blood, and two lines of tears fell straight down like pearls with broken threads, and her face was full of grievances, and she murmured: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, this tea was brewed by my own hands." ”

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, stretched out her hand and pointed at Zhu Ying, and said, "Brother, it's you, it must be you." ”

Zhu Ying's face turned white, and he said: "Sister, you, don't talk nonsense, I, why should I hurt him." ”

The girl calmed down a lot at this time, wiped her tears, and said: "I remembered, it must be you, this bowl of tea has always been in my hand, only when I brought it out just now, you hurriedly passed by, saying that my clothes were a little messy, let me tidy up, and kindly helped me take the tea bowl, except for you, no one has touched this tea bowl." ”

Although Zhu Ding is old, his skills are still vigorous, and he pulled out his waist knife with a "brush", and immediately put it on Zhu Ying's neck, and roared angrily: "Son, you say it yourself, what's going on." ”

Zhu Ying fell to her knees with a "plop" and trembled: "Daddy, I don't dare anymore, you can spare me this time." ”

Although the barbarians are sometimes cunning and abnormal, they are still very honest with their friends and guests, and they are very honest when they see their son actually want to assassinate his guests, and this guest is a well-deserved warrior in the field of today's three-surname alliance, not only that, but this son is also blamed on his sister, Zhu Ding can't help but feel like a knife, he laughed angrily, "haha" twice, and the waist knife in his hand was raised, and he cut off Zhu Ying's head,

Zhu Ding's knife was cut halfway, and he suddenly felt a numb wrist, and the knife was taken off, and when he looked at it again, the knife had already reached Liu Xin's hand, Zhu Ding sighed and said dejectedly: "That's it, this son of evil will be left to you to dispose of." ”

Liu Xin has been paying attention to the development of the situation, since it is just an accidental incident, of course he doesn't want to expand, and he has no loss, why should Zhu Ying fight with his life, besides, the enemy is easy to solve and not easy to knot, and he still wants to borrow from the territory of Nanban in the future, and there is no need to delve into this matter, when he saw Zhu Ding swinging a knife on Zhu Ying's neck, he had already secretly prepared, so he was able to save Zhu Ying's life in time,

After listening to Zhu Ding's words, Liu Xin smiled, returned the waist knife in his hand, and said: "I wish the old man, you can dissipate your anger, this time the matter is at most an attempt, let him pass." ”

Zhu Ding asked puzzledly, "What does the attempt mean?" ”

Liu Xin smiled and said, "The attempt means that it didn't succeed, since it didn't succeed, what do you care." ”

Tiger poison still doesn't eat children, Zhu Ding naturally doesn't want to really kill his son, but in front of so many people, if you forget it like this, whether in front of the clan or in front of outsiders in the future, there will be no weight in speaking, thinking of this, Zhu Ding gritted his teeth and said: "Since Liu Gongzi said that he doesn't care, I will spare your surname, and you are not allowed to come back to the cave from now on, and you will follow Liu Gongzi to be a slave in the future." ”

Liu Xin hurriedly said: "Patriarch Zhu, it seems that you are dealing with it a little more heavily, so it is really not good for him to think about it for a few days behind closed doors." ”

Zhu Ding hesitated for a moment and ordered, "Come on, bring this son of evil down." ”

After speaking, he turned to Liu Xin and said: "Liu Gongzi, please rest assured, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter, if it is convenient, please come over and explain how it is." ”

Liu Xin turned his head, glanced at Sister Ling'er, and said, "I shouldn't have anything to do here, you guys go back first." ”

Zhu Ding has already made an invitation, Liu Xin naturally has no reason to refuse, not to mention that this is a grand meeting of the barbarians, and he doesn't want to break up unhappily because of an accident, the girl has not spoken again, silently took the tea bowl from Liu Xin's hand, and retreated with a gloomy expression,

Feng Yuan also let out a long breath, if Liu Xin lost his surname because he participated in the Three Surnames Alliance, he was afraid that his entire clan would suffer.

Someone on the field has begun to dismantle the "knife mountain", pull out the "climbing rod", this was the highlight of this afternoon, in the past, only three surnames each sent one person to participate, the three people who participated in the competition are often inseparable, the young patriarch Zhu Ying, who was responsible for preparing for this matter, was embarrassed by Dian Wei, and deliberately changed it to the Quartet, as a result, due to the halfway kill of Liu Xin, the Quartet became his own performance, although the scene was good-looking, the process was too fast, many people just saw Xingtou, everything was over, The afternoon was still a long time, so the square trade that was supposed to start tomorrow had to be staged early.

Zhu Ding looked up at the crowd in the square who were busy again, raised two tea bowls, handed one to Liu Xin, and said: "Liu Gongzi, what happened today is very regrettable, I will replace the wine with tea and make a compensatory to Gongzi." ”

These two bowls of tea were poured out from the same pot, Zhu Ding was worried that Liu Xin still had doubts, so he raised them up first, drank them all, Liu Xin smiled, drank this bowl of tea too, and said: "The three patriarchs are here, let's stop today's matter, don't mention it again in the future, what do you think." ”

The three of them nodded in unison, Zhu Ding put down the tea bowl, and asked, "Dare to ask Liu Gongzi what kind of business he is mainly engaged in, I don't know if there is any place where I can help." ”

Liu Xin said lightly: "Speaking of which, Liu doesn't have any fixed business, in short, he will do whatever he makes money." ”

Zhu Ding patted his chest and said, "No matter what goods Liu Gongzi brought, I bought them all." ”

Liu Xin said with a smile: "Liu's business is to pay attention to the process, if all the goods are contracted by you, then my business will be meaningless." ”

Suddenly, a voice came from behind him: "I can't even salute a bowl of tea, and I feel quite boring." ”

Without waiting for Liu Xin to turn around, Zhu Ding had already said: "Good daughter, Daddy was too heavy just now, and I'm still blaming Daddy." ”

Liu Xin just turned his head, but heard Zhu Ding say again: "Gongzi Liu, this is my daughter Zhu Rong, today's incident has frightened Gongzi." ”

After listening to Zhu Ding's introduction, Liu Xin muttered: "This name is somewhat familiar, it seems to be the same as the name of the God of Fire." ”

Zhu Ding continued: "Don't hide it from Liu Gongzi, what our clan respects is the god of fire, when my daughter was born, the room was full of red light, and the elders all said that she was the descendant of the god of fire, so she took this name. ”

Where would Liu Xin believe that there is such a thing as a red light full of room, smiled, and did not speak, but saw Feng Yuan and Meng Dan both nodding again and again, obviously this story is widely spread among the barbarians, and he couldn't help but look at Zhu Ronglai carefully, only to see that on her childish face, the five finger marks were still looming, but a pair of eyes were bright and clear, where was there still half a point of crying just now, and there was a bronze bowl in his hand, Liu Xin's eyes turned, and suddenly saw Meng Xu, who was still "competing" with him just now, looking at this side, suddenly remembered that she was Meng Huo's future wife, Mrs. Zhurong,

In fact, there are many things he doesn't know, there is a special purpose for these two competitions today, Zhu Rong is fifteen years old this year, and Zhu Ding also implied the intention of helping her choose a son-in-law in it, Feng Yingying and Zhu Rong are close friends who talk about everything, so they will say that there is a good show to see, and Meng has coveted Zhu Rong's beauty for a long time, this time it is inevitable, Liu Xin took the lead in two consecutive games, and he was annoyed in his heart, if there was no instigation from him, how could Zhu Ying dare to poison the tea,

Zhu Rong saw that Liu Xin was a little distracted, handed over the copper bowl in his hand, and said, "Liu Gongzi, you have won the championship two times in a row, I must respect you for this bowl of tea." ”

Liu Xin's thoughts were pulled back, and he said with a smile: "Little sister, you don't have to be so persistent, I already drank tea just now, so forget about this bowl." ”

While speaking, Liu Xin looked at Meng Shu from the corner of his eye, only to see that he was staring at this side, his hands clenched into fists, and his face was flushed.

Zhu Rong saw that he refused to drink the tea he handed over, smiled, and said: "This bowl of tea was brewed by the little woman herself, and it has been served here, but it has not been faked by other people's hands, and it will definitely not be poisonous." ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the girl, Liu is not worried about poison, but he really can't drink it." ”

Zhu Rong didn't say a word, picked up the tea bowl, tilted his neck, drank half a bowl of fragrant tea, stretched out the remaining half of the tea to Liu Xin, and said: "Liu Gongzi, I have already drunk half of this tea, you won't be at ease, I'll just wait here, see if I will die of poison." ”

Liu Xin is not worried that she will poison the tea, whether the poison in the tea last time is Zhu Yingxia or Zhu Rongxia, some things are done once, and they are done one after another, it is too stupid, even if you want to harm yourself, you have to change your tricks, he just thinks that although this tea smells fragrant, the entrance is a little bitter, which is not to his liking, not to mention that this bowl of tea was half drunk by Zhu Rong first, and he was even more reluctant to drink the residual tea, Liu Xin looked up, looking for a chance to slip away,

But he listened to Feng Yuan's persuasion: "My lord, Miss Zhurong is the descendant of the God of Fire, and she has a lot of prestige in the Bashu area, it is not easy to get her to give a bowl of tea, so don't shirk it, my lord." ”

Feng Yuan did not intend to reveal Liu Xin's identity, he understood Zhu Rong's intention to insist on tea, this girl fell in love with Liu Xin, in fact, Feng Yuan still had some pantothenic acid in his heart, a few days ago he saw his daughter like Dian Wei, which made him excited, and since then his family has a backer in Jingzhou, who knows that Zhu Ding's daughter is still a cow, and people directly fall in love with Liu Xin, however, Feng and Zhu have always been good friends, and he is also happy to see it happen to this matter, because he is worried that Liu Xin will resign again and again, annoying Zhu Ding, and making it out of control, In a hurry, he came out to persuade him, and he didn't pay attention to say that he missed his mouth,

Zhu Ding's father and daughter and Meng Dan had already exclaimed in unison: "My lord, isn't he a businessman?" ”

Liu Xin knew that it would be a bit hypocritical to hide it any longer, so he said with a smile: "Don't hide it from you, Liu is both an adult and a businessman, in Xiangyang, I am Jingzhou Mu, here, I am just an ordinary businessman." ”

This is under the jurisdiction of Yizhou, and Yizhou and Jingzhou are set up at the same time, so Zhu Ding and Meng Dan are no strangers to this official position, and they are all surprised, in their eyes, Jingzhou Mu is definitely a rare high-ranking official.

Zhu Rong had already taken another step in front of Liu Xin, almost touching him, handed the bowl to his mouth, and said, "I don't care if you are an adult or a businessman, whether you drink this tea or not." ”
