Chapter 34: The Dragon and Tiger Society
"How many years later, when the unexpected 'Dragon and Tiger Meeting' in Linhuai Town became widely known to the world, most people couldn't help but sigh: If one of Lin Feng and Zhao Kuangyin was a little more reckless in that encounter, the outcome of the Shouzhou War would inevitably change, the national fortunes of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Later Zhou Dynasty would definitely change, and the historical process would certainly not be what later generations would see! In later generations, the folk habit recited a saying: No matter how exaggerated you say, can there still be a key on September 21? β
ββExcerpt from "The Book of the Southern Tang Dynasty? Lin Feng's Memorabilia September 21, the whole morning was gloomy, coupled with gusts of cold wind, full of autumn scenes, especially in Linhuai Town, where leaves are flying and the streets are old, it looks more and more autumnal.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, seven high-headed horses that were sweating profusely rushed in from the avenue at the west end of the town, and ran until they reached the Linhuai Restaurant in the middle of the place before they were urgently strangled by the stiff rope, and the horses neighed in unison, raised their front hooves and heads, and stopped.
Zhao Kuangyin, who was the leader, was the first to jump off the horse, threw the reins to Xiahou Fang, who was in second place, and strode towards the Yushu basin at the door. Xiahou Fang and the remaining knights brought the reins of the horses over and handed them to the shopkeeper who greeted them.
Zhao Kuangyin carefully washed his face, took out a hand towel and wiped it slowly, looked up at the somewhat noisy lobby environment on the first floor, frowned slightly, and walked towards the second floor.
Something seems to be wrong! Zhao Kuangyin just stepped out of the stairs and suddenly felt such a feeling in his heart when he looked around the environment on the second floor.
He shook his head, and when he looked closer, he found that there seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary, two tables by the window were full of people, and a few solitary diners were scattered in the other places.
Xiahou Fang walked over, and after a brief observation, he chose a window table, quickly wiped it, and respectfully invited Zhao Kuangyin to sit down, and Hu Benshi, who followed closely, put cold dishes such as sauce beef and peanuts on the table.
Zhao Kuangyin, who had been running for more than 300 miles overnight, was already hungry, stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a large piece of beef into his mouth, and chewed it fiercely.
After taking two bites, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly put down the chopsticks and gently kicked Xiahou Fang next to him three times with his toes. Xiahou Fang immediately wiped his mouth with his big hand and shouted loudly: "Guy, add two more dishes!" Hurry up! At the same time, the man got up and walked downstairs.
Zhao Kuangyin secretly glanced at the other two tiger benders at the table, and slowly turned his head to look around, and more abnormalities were noticed by him: there were twelve diners upstairs, eight of whom were young people, although they were dressed differently, but they were all shrewd and fierce; Moreover, within reach of their right hand was a long package, most likely a weapon.
Zhao Kuangyin stood up with a plate of sauced beef, and the two brothers wanted to follow him up, but he stretched out his hand to stop them.
Zhao Kuangyin walked to another table near the window with a plate, and greeted a young man who looked like a businessman: "This brother, meeting thousands of miles is fate, can we build a table and chat a few words?" β
The young man was none other than Lin Feng. This morning, on a whim, he crossed the Huai River with a group of brothers and sneaked into Linhuai Town, saying that he wanted to personally observe the enemy's situation. When Zhao Kuangyin led his men to ride into the town, he saw the unusually eye-catching Zhao Kuangyin at first sight, and quickly matched him with the intelligence people of the Northern Intelligence Division, and he was happy that he had finally waited for the person to wait, and he had secretly instructed the other brothers to be vigilant.
This is the future Song Taizu!
Lin Feng smiled and stared at the "future big man" who was still neat in his military uniform for two seconds, and made a gesture of invitation with a smile. Feng Jingyun, who was at the same table as Lin Feng, pulled Zhao Zanting's sleeve, picked up the package and retreated to the table of his companion next to him.
Zhao Kuangyin was not polite at all, grabbed a piece of fat from the plate in front of Lin Feng and threw it into his mouth, chewed it with relish, and then said: "Dare to ask Brother Tai, but do business on the other side?" β
Lin Feng immediately sandwiched a piece of sauced beef in front of Zhao Kuangyin, and praised him: "Meat tendons, people have more vision!" There's no way, if you want to buy something novel in this world, you have to get Shouzhou! β
"Even if Lin Feng has an invention, it's just a clever trick, it has nothing to do with the community, and it has nothing to do with Li Min!" Zhao Kuangyin shook his head again and again and refuted.
Lin Feng shook his head and smiled, "Please forgive me for not agreeing with this general's statement." The supermarket created by Lin Feng has already begun to be built in Dazhou, and the people have benefited a lot. Recently, I heard that Shouzhou has produced a kind of bicycle, so I came to see it! β
Zhao Kuangyin kept his chopsticks and raised his eyebrows: "What bicycle?" Haven't heard of it. β
"I have heard that a man riding on it can walk thirty or forty miles in an hour without difficulty. The flat land in Xingzhou, the lower hometown, is also suitable for this new thing. Lin Feng stopped his chopsticks and said with a smile.
"You're from Xingzhou?" Zhao Kuangyin swept the long package on Lin Feng's right hand, shook his head and said, "That's just another lie made up by Lin Feng." β
Lin Feng shook his head and retorted: "Lin Feng's lie, there are one or two occasionally, but it is possible. But under the don't believe that a person can dominate the world with lies! In the next place, I heard from the people that wherever Lin Feng goes, there will be miracles! I'm actually very curious about the next and want to see this person with my own eyes, and the bicycle or something is secondary. β
Zhao Kuangyin snorted coldly: "Brother Tai, as a businessman of the Great Zhou, how can he easily fornicate with Xiao Tang?" β
Lin Feng smiled bitterly: "Even if you want to fornicate in the next place, you can't do it." I chartered a boat to the Huai River, and was stopped back in the middle of the river, and the whole territory of Shouzhou on the opposite side was under martial law, and the board was not allowed to cross the river, I was really unlucky, and it was not the right time! β
Zhao Kuangyin put down his chopsticks, shook his head and said: "When we meet today, I will persuade my brother Tai with good words, my Great Zhou has a vast territory, and there are many people in Wufu, what business can't be done, what people can't do, I have to do it with Shouzhou?" β
Lin Feng shook his head and was about to speak, when he raised his eyes and found that Xiahou Fang, who had just gone down, walked up, with two plates of cold dishes in his hand, and immediately smiled.
Zhao Kuangyin saw Lin Feng's strange smile, and was about to get angry, turned his head and found Xiahou Fang's figure, caught a glimpse of his thumb above the plate, and suddenly became calm, turned to Lin Feng, and slowly stood up: "Brother, can you allow me to wait and see your package?" β
"Not suitable, right? The person who does business in the next duty is not a person who is a traitor. Lin Feng shook his head and smiled, sandwiched the last piece of sauce beef in his mouth, and chewed it leisurely.
Zhao Kuangyin took a step back, looked at the young man here with a little bit of the surroundings, pointed at Lin Feng and said coldly: "My hometown is from Xingzhou, and there is a group of elites around me, appearing in Linhuai at this moment, do you still want to pretend?" Lord Lin Fenglin? β
There were several suppressed gasps in the restaurant immediately, and Xiahou Fang and Hu Benshi were all shocked, and they suddenly pulled out their waist knives. Several other diners put down their chopsticks in horror and slowly got up to walk out.
Lin Feng sat still, took a sip of the teacup in front of him, and said softly: "I wasn't ready to pretend, let alone hide!" You called me a merchant in the first place, and I just followed your wishes and made small talk! General Zhao Kuangyin, General Zhao! β
