Entering the restaurant, Xu Mingyuan followed the sound and saw that in the elegantly decorated hall, there were several young scholars wearing the uniforms of Chongzhou Academy standing in front of the counter. There are also a few lock-clad men standing on the side, who should be the families and subordinates of those scholars.

Xu Mingyuan's gaze swept between the scholars, but he didn't expect Wang Ziqi to be among them. And it was one of the scholars with a short physique and an ugly appearance who was scolding a restaurant boy.

The little guy looked embarrassed, and said resignedly: "Master Li, this Tianxiao Pavilion has been booked, and Qiyun Pavilion will be kept for you, you can see ......?"

"Look at the fart, there are still people in this drunken Xiaolou who dare to grab a room with my master? You say, who ordered the Sky Pavilion that day? If he won't give it to me, I'll beat him until he nods. The ugly scholar looked angry, grabbed the little man by the collar, and said viciously.

The ugly scholar was half a head shorter than the little guy, and he pulled the collar of the little guy, like a child pulling the collar of an adult, which looked a little ridiculous. Just knowing his identity, as well as the sturdy men behind him, no one dared to make a joke.

Several drunken servants stood aside, but none of them dared to come forward, looking at the little guy who was strangled by the collar, with a look of relative on his face. And a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper had just walked out from behind, but after glancing at Xu Mingyuan and them, he also stood still and did not come forward immediately.

"Tianxiao Pavilion is set by me." At this moment, Bai Molou took a step forward and said in a cold voice. The black-clothed groom who had parked the carriage also stood behind him at this time, his eyes swept over the sturdy men, quite with the intention of killing.

In addition to those scholars and big men in the hall on the first floor, there are more than a dozen square tables, and now is the time to eat.

This kind of thing of insulting each other and even fighting for a box is not uncommon in Zuixiaolou. What's more, it is a box like Tianxiao Pavilion that can overlook the beautiful scenery of Beixin Lake, which is the best box in Zuixiao Tower.

Therefore, there are many small and powerful people in Shuzhou City, and they also regard this as a good show in the cooking room.

Zuixiaolou can become the best restaurant in the entire Shuzhou City, and there is naturally the shadow of a big man behind it, so no one has ever dared to make trouble here. In the past, many people have proved this at a great cost, so even those children of the family did not dare to be presumptuous in this drunken sky, and even if they fought hard, they did not dare to smash the things in the restaurant.

Everyone is speculating about who is booking the Tianxiao Pavilion, and it is said that the people who have booked the Tianxiao Pavilion have been lined up for three months, and they don't even have the opportunity to book without identity and status.

The identity of the ugly scholar was known to many people in the audience, and those drunken little guys were even clearer. Although Zuixiaolou has never been afraid of people causing trouble, this person is not something that they can provoke.

So when Bai Molou said that this Tianxiao Pavilion was booked by him, the eyes of the audience fell on him, looking at Xu Mingyuan and his party who had just entered the restaurant.

The ugly also loosened the collar of the little guy, turned around to look at Xu Mingyuan and the other three, his eyes stopped on Bai Molou's body, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his face was a little gloomy and said: "Bai Molou, it turned out to be you." ”

The students of the academy also looked at Xu Mingyuan and the others, and after recognizing the three of them, their faces changed. And that Wang Ziqi also looked at the three of them, his eyes fixed on Xu Mingyuan's body, and there was a vicious sneer on the corner of his mouth.

And those sturdy men, swept away by the black-clothed coachman's gaze, all changed their complexions, subconsciously took a few steps forward, stood on the side of those scholars, and looked at the black-clothed coachman on Bai Molou's side with a wary expression.

"This short man is Li Lixin, the son of the deputy protector of Chengdu Prefecture, who is also in Shuzhou Academy, but he is about the same half-hung as me. The one holding the jade fan on the left is Xie Hong, the son of Shuzhou Beijia, and the nostrils on the right are Qian Qingfu, whose family is in the west of the city, so Wang Ziqi doesn't need to say much. These snakes and rats have a nest, which can be called the hegemony of the academy. Zhou Binjie whispered in Xu Mingyuan's ear to introduce the scholars to Xu Mingyuan one by one.

Xu Mingyuan nodded slightly, his eyes stayed on Li Lixin's hand for a while, and he saw that there were a lot of calluses on his palms, which should be someone who has practiced martial arts for many years.

And those sturdy men, except for the scarred young man next to Li Lixin who was wearing a black power suit and holding a long knife with his hands folded, the rest of them were not worried in Xu Mingyuan's opinion.

After Li Lixin called out Bai Molou's name, many people recognized Bai Molou, and they talked softly for a while. The Bai family is a first-class Jiangmen family in Shuzhou City, and it is not far behind the Li family in Jiannan Road, and the collision of these two children of the family is definitely not something that can be seen ordinarily.

The children of the family, generally speaking, are not badly educated, and there are few people who pick provocations all day long. However, Li Lixin is an exception, relying on his identity and practicing three-legged cat kung fu for several years, he does not do much bullying on weekdays. Although Bai Molou treats people coldly, he has never bullied the people on weekdays, and his reputation is much better than Li Lixin's.

"Li Lixin, you said you were going to beat me until I was served?" Bai Molou looked at Li Lixin, a sneer pulled up at the corner of his mouth, and his voice became colder and colder.

Li Lixin smiled coldly, looked at Bai Molou and shook his head a little playfully and said, "You are Bai Molou, how dare I." Back then, the old man of the Bai family dared to whip Duhu Gongzi three times in front of Zhao Dudu, just because he slapped your Bai Gongzi, and from then on, who else would dare to do anything with you in Jiannan Dao. But ......"

Li Lixin paused, then looked at Xu Mingyuan and said coldly: "Bai Molou, although I don't dare to beat you, I am very interested in this kid today, what I hate the most is a sharp-toothed pariah, it is better to let me beat him out of anger, Tianxiao Pavilion is yours, and today's matter is over." ”

Li Lixin looks down on Xu Mingyuan like this, but with his identity, he really can't take Xu Mingyuan, a poor Taoist priest with no identity background, in his eyes.

Xu Mingyuan didn't expect that he would suffer another unwarranted disaster, it seemed that Li Lixin didn't dare to make a move on Bai Molou, so he wanted to step on himself to find some ground, and by the way, he would stand up for that Wang Ziqi.

Zhou Binjie's face changed, and he wanted to refute it out loud, but Bai Molou already sneered: "What, Wang Ziqi lost his hands, do you think you have lost face?" If you don't have any ink on your chest, you will use your fists and feet as the big, so what did your father send you to the academy for? As far as your three-legged cat kung fu is concerned, I'm afraid you can't even compare to the juggling at the North City Gate, if you go on stage, people will be ugly. ”

Bai Molou's voice was not small, so many people heard it, and the audience laughed. Zhou Binjie also grinned, for the first time he felt that Bai Molou's words sounded so comfortable.

Xu Mingyuan smiled slightly, Bai Molou's words were still sharp and unstoppable, and the scolding only revealed the shortcomings, which was too poisonous.

Wang Ziqi and the others' faces changed, Li Lixin laughed even more angrily, pointed to the black-clothed coachman beside Bai Molou and sneered: "Bai Molou, don't think that with Wei Tong here, I really can't do anything about you, Shen Fei is a third-grade master, even if he beats you if he forces me to be anxious, is it possible that Old General Bai can still split me?" I'm going to beat that kid today, and if you have to stop it, don't blame me for being rude. ”

Hearing this, Xu Mingyuan glanced at the young man holding the black long knife again, it seems that Shen Fei and Wei Tong are both third-grade strength. Xu Mingyuan only knew that he had not reached the third grade, but he didn't know what the strength of the third grade was, but he didn't expect that there were two people with the strength of the third grade standing here now. The young man also happened to look at him with disdain.

The atmosphere in the arena instantly became cold because of Li Lixin's words, and there was a tendency to fight without saying a word.

Those who were sitting on the side to eat couldn't help but quiet down, their eyes wandering over Xu Mingyuan, speculating about why this shabby-dressed scholar had a good relationship with Bai Molou, and how he could have provoked Li Lixin.

Li Lixin is well-known in Jiannan Province, although the influence of the Li family is more in Chengdu Mansion, but Shuzhou and Chengdu Mansion are very close, so Li Lixin is rampant in Shuzhou, and few people dare to disobey him.

Li Lixin's release of these words can be regarded as tearing his face, if Bai Molou still wants to protect Xu Mingyuan, it is impossible to be good with Li Lixin today. If Bai Mo Lou is soft, then Bai Mo Lou will have no status in the family of Jiannan Road from now on.

Bai Molou naturally wouldn't be convinced, and as soon as he put away the jade fan, he wanted to speak. And the black-clothed coachman Wei Tong also took half a step, protecting Bai Molou behind him, just waiting for Bai Molou to speak.

"You want to fight me?" Just when everyone was waiting for Bai Molou to speak, completely tear their faces, and then stage a rare battle of three-grade masters, Xu Mingyuan took two steps forward, looked at Li Lixin and asked with a smile.

It's like asking an ordinary friend, "Have you eaten?" So naturally, Xu Mingyuan had a warm smile on his clean and handsome face, but the words he said made everyone's jaws almost drop.

Looking at Li Lixin's slightly stunned expression, Xu Mingyuan stretched out his fist again, shook his head with some distress and said, "But I can only punch once." ”

After Li Lixin was slightly stunned, he also came back to his senses, looked at Xu Mingyuan as if he was looking at a dead man, and said with a sneer: "I thought that with your character of groveling to Nanzhao, now you should beg Bai Molou to stand up for you, but I didn't expect you to have a little backbone." ”

The hall was in an uproar, all pointing at Xu Mingyuan.

A middle-aged man dressed as a wealthy businessman shook his head and sneered: "This kid has read too many books, and he has read his brain badly, and now he dares to talk to Li Gongzi like this." ”

"That's it, I don't know how to advance or retreat, I'm afraid I can't go out standing today." A middle-aged Confucian at the same table said.

"Isn't this Xiao Xu, alas, how did he provoke Li Lixin's." Some people also recognized Xu Mingyuan and said with a sigh.

And Wang Ziqi, Xie Hong and the others all looked at Xu Mingyuan coldly, and the smile on the corner of Wang Ziqi's mouth became a little thicker, and it seemed that the hatred for Xu Mingyuan in his heart was indeed not shallow.

Xu Mingyuan put his hand behind him and shook it, signaling Bai Molou and Zhou Binjie to be calm, looked at Li Lixin and said with a smile: "There is still a little bit of backbone in this kind of thing, otherwise you won't be able to stand up straight." ”

"Backbone has always been the least valuable." Li Lixin shook his head, clenched his fist, and shouted coldly: "You can punch, I also have a punch, it depends on how I can break your poor backbone and bones together." ”

Li Lixin's voice fell, and he was already swinging his fist towards Xu Mingyuan, and it was extremely fast, and it was indeed a few years old.

Bai Molou raised his hand slightly to signal that Wei Tong didn't have to make a move, and looked at it coldly. And that Shen Fei was still holding the long knife, without the slightest idea of making a move, in his opinion, Xu Mingyuan was just a poor scholar, if he made a move, it would make Li Lixin unhappy.

The guests in the entire hall held their breath, just waiting for the scene where Li Lixin smashed Xu Mingyuan to the ground with a punch and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

Li Lixin smashed Xu Mingyuan's nose with a punch, with the power of this punch, I am afraid that even the nose can be smashed.

However, at the moment when the fist was close to Xu Mingyuan's nose, Xu Mingyuan's body was half a body to the left, and Li Lixin's fist brushed Xu Mingyuan's nose without even touching a nose hair.

At this moment, Xu Mingyuan also raised his hand and threw a punch, which smashed directly into Li Lixin's face.

Li Lixin flew out upside down with a wail and landed on the ground with a thud.

The audience was in an uproar!
