Volume 2 The Walker Patrols the Four Seas Chapter 183 The Battle of the Blue River (4)
Xi is a rare surname, and the single word nine is also a little surprising, this woman with a strange name not only has a tall figure, but also has a domineering queen character.
But inadvertently, it was the protagonist of this main quest, Wei Yeqiu, the young son of the Wei family, who was also unexpected.
Fortunately, Wei Yeqiu did not show obvious anger, but looked at Xi Jiu with a light smile very magnanimously.
Jiang Ling and Klute looked at Wei Yeqiu, and the whole restaurant looked at Wei Yeqiu, because everyone was running for him.
Wei Zhiqiu took two steps forward, walked to Xi Jiu's side, and said, "Then this woman, why do you agree to exchange this pot of osmanthus wine for me?" ”
"I..." As soon as Xi Jiu spoke, a few voices suddenly sounded in the restaurant.
"Wei... Wei Gongzi" A young man at the other table stood up and said loudly: "I also have osmanthus wine here..."
"I have it here, too... Half a pot. The other man also stood up and said.
Then another older man interrupted: "Half a pot is still talking about a fart... Childe, the small one has a whole pot. ”
Seeing that the guests at the other tables with osmanthus wine all responded, they rushed to offer their courtesy, and they couldn't wait to beg Wei Gongzi to drink their wine. Maybe it was just a coincidence that they ordered osmanthus wine, or maybe they also had intelligence to learn that Wei Gongzi loved osmanthus wine.
In short, everyone began to try to win the favor of Wei Gongzi with osmanthus wine.
Jiang Ling and Klute were worried about losing this opportunity, and when Xi Jiu was about to scold the street, a loud cheer came.
"Presumptuous!" Two figures pushed the door open and stood behind Wei Yeqiu, both of whom were wearing black masks, and the forehead of the mask had a golden flower. The one on the left was slender and seemed to be a woman, and the one on the right was stronger, and what he said just now was what he said, and he said in a deep voice: "When the son is talking to this girl, please be quiet." ”
The scene suddenly became quiet again, and the few people who had just stood up couldn't help but sit down in embarrassment, and Jiang Ling couldn't wait to rush up and give the masked man a hug.
Of course, at the same time, Jiang Ling also glanced at the two same characters as the guards alertly, but he couldn't see their expressions, and he could only feel their strength through his little mental qi perception ability.
Then Jiang Ling came to the conclusion that although these two people should be stronger than himself, they didn't seem to have changed the sky, and they still turned to the upper realm.
Jiang Ling was a little surprised, and the guards of the dignified Wei Gongzi turned out to be just turning to the upper realm?
Jiang Ling was wondering what was going on, but Wei Gongzi said indifferently: "The few people who just spoke are really rude, please go out." ”
"This..."The few people who had just rushed to open their mouths to give osmanthus wine were suddenly dumbfounded.
It was the masked man who spoke, "Didn't you hear what Childe said? ”
Three of them stood up and walked out of the restaurant. Another person, who was the first to speak, ran to Wei Gongzi's side without giving up, hugged his fists and said: "Wei Gongzi, I was rude just now, but can I trouble you to give me a chance, I really want to follow you." ”
"Next time, I'll have a chance." Wei Gongzi said with a smile, and then reached out and made a 'please' gesture.
The man was about to speak, but when the two guards turned their heads to look at him, he turned away in frustration.
"Alright, let's move on." Wei Gongzi looked at Xi Jiu again.
Xi Jiu stared at the handsome boy in front of him with big eyes, and then tried to provoke the corners of his mouth, and said hesitantly: "It's good to say, as long as we... I can too..."
"Will you also follow me?" Wei Gongzi said with a smile.
"Not really." Xi Jiu replied very facelessly, and then hurriedly said: "We are all your fans, we are afraid of the danger of this trip, and we want to escort you for a while." ”
"Fans?" Wei Gongzi had a question mark on his face, but he also roughly understood what Xi Jiu meant, and then said with a smile: "You are really an interesting girl." Don't you want to be my Wei Yeqiu's doorman, but you want to earn the reward this time? ”
"Uh, almost." Xi Jiu replied casually.
Jiang Ling and Klute lowered their heads, eager to pass out on the table, Xi Jiu wanted to be a man, and he was a straight man.
Wei Yeqiu couldn't help but smile again and said, "Then I hope we can cooperate happily." ”
"Huh?" Jiang Ling raised his head in disbelief and said in surprise: "Agreed?" ”
"Yes." Wei Gongzi turned his head and looked at Jiang Ling again, and confirmed: "This time, just a few of you will accompany me to the Northwest Yue Rong Kingdom and serve as my temporary guards." ”
Jiang Ling glanced at Xi Jiu, and secretly said in his heart, TV series don't deceive me, rich and powerful sons and brothers are very cheap, but they like this kind of brutal style.
The other people at the table heard that this meant that Wei Gongzi was not going to hire anyone else, and suddenly a noisy sound sounded.
Wei Gongzi turned his head and said: "Don't be impatient, everyone can come for me today, I am also very honored, since you are willing to buy my Wei Yeqiu's face, then I will not forget everyone, when I come back from the northwest, you can come to my mansion to pay a visit, and I will also collect some guests." ”
After speaking, Wei Gongzi clasped his fists and saluted very gracefully.
This time, these people didn't have anything to say, and they all hugged their fists in return. Anyway, I came here to offer my knees to Gongzi Wei, and since Gongzi Wei gave him a chance, it didn't hurt to wait a little longer. Some people simply left, and greeted Wei Gongzi cheekily before leaving, and Wei Gongzi responded one by one without being rude.
When the scene calmed down, Wei Gongzi turned his head to look at the three of them, and said with a smile: "You wait here for a while, and when I finish eating, we will continue on our way." ”
"Okay." Jiang Ling responded.
"I'll be cheeky about this pot of osmanthus wine." Wei Gongzi mentioned the osmanthus wine, turned his head and said, "Lisuo, tell them about this trip, and order them a table of good dishes." ”
After that, Wei Gongzi turned around and went upstairs, the female guard followed silently, and the male guard who had just spoken out and scolded others stayed behind and simply sat on the opposite side.
"What to eat?" The guard called Liso asked.
Jiang Ling waved his hand and said, "We have actually eaten, so we don't need to order it, please tell us about this trip." ”
"Okay." Lisuo was not polite, and said solemnly: "This trip Wei Gongzi is going to the Qi Palace, Qingyue Kingdom, to celebrate the birthday of the Qi family's grandfather, and the congratulatory gift is naturally in the car." The convoy is just outside, guarded by four companions, and no one else, who employs the three of you as both guards and servants. But you don't have to follow us all the way to Qingyue, as long as you arrive at the Yue Rong country and come into contact with the welcoming envoy of the Qi family, you can leave on your own. ”
Li Suo Weidun continued: "Actually, there is no need to find others in the first place, after all, a few of us are enough to protect Wei Gongzi, and hiring you outsiders may also cause trouble, but everyone in the whole continent knows that our young son is married to a heroic knot and recruits guests, so I also want to take this opportunity to find some friends." But... But you have no intention of following my son-in-law, so forget it. ”
Jiang Ling nodded, and then asked, "Then how long will it take from here to the border of Yuerong?" ”
Lisuo replied: "Hurry up, the night will come." ”
"Half a day?" Jiang Ling was a little surprised.
Lisuo chuckled, and then said, "You'll know the reason in a moment." ”
Jiang Ling thought to himself, although he didn't know how far the distance of this Blue River Country was, but after all, it was a country, and if he crossed it, even if he was fast, it would not be possible to be so fast.
Then Jiang Ling thought about it again, Songheng County here is already the central region of Lanjiang Country, since the convoy can start from Chixi Country in the morning and arrive here at noon, it is normal to cross this remaining distance after half a day, but I don't know how to do it. Teleportation array? Can the carriage fly? Is there a highway in Blue River? Jiang Ling secretly pondered.
Here Lisuo said again: "I have to remind a few people, my son-in-law is a very personable person, but..." Lisuo's voice was lowered a little, and he said with a little fierceness: "I also hope that you will not be rude and offend the child." ”
"Understood." Jiang Ling responded.
"Okay, that's all for now, you wait for the time being, and I'll come and call you when I leave." With that, he got up and went upstairs.
Not to mention that the three players bowed their heads to discuss the current situation, and the screen shifted upstairs.
There are six private rooms on the second floor, but only the one by the window is occupied, which seems to be a little quiet. After all, when they learned that Wei Gongzi was coming, the store closed the second floor from the morning and did not allow anyone to enter.
The one who served the food was the shopkeeper of the restaurant, a middle-aged man with a kind face and a slightly chubby figure, who smiled and said, "Son, use it slowly." ”
"I have long heard that the osmanthus wine and lotus seed soup in the East Street Restaurant are a must, and today I finally had the pleasure of tasting it." Wei Gongzi said with a smile.
The shopkeeper was immediately overjoyed, bowed down and said, "It's really an honor to be praised by the son, the little one." ”
"It's vulgar, it's not." Wei Gongzi joked, and then waved his hand lightly and said: "The shopkeeper doesn't need to be polite, you don't have to wait when the dishes are ready, just wait for the reward." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly excused himself twice, and then respectfully withdrew.
Here, Wei Yeqiu just picked up the spoon and was about to reach out to the lotus seed soup, and the delicate female guard here took out a silver needle from her arms, quickly reached into the soup and clicked it.
Wei Gongzi took back the spoon again, and said helplessly: "Hey, you guy, don't you sweep your son-in-law's interest?" ”
The woman bowed down and apologized, "It's better to be careful." ”
"That's it." Wei Gongzi waved his hand to show that he was not to blame, and then filled a bowl of soup and said, "It's not poisonous, right?" Come, sit down and eat. ”
The woman was a little prevaricated: "Childe, I..."
"Take off your mask and eat." Wei Yeqiu interrupted her, motioned for her to sit down, and then continued to serve the soup, and said at the same time: "Shark Silk, although you are the last to follow me, but in your eyes, Gongzi and I are such rigid people?" ”
Shark Silk took off her mask, revealing a fair and lovely goose egg face, and she bowed her head and said, "Childe is really romantic." ”
"I love to hear this, and I appreciate wine." Wei Yeqiu poured a glass of wine for the shark with his own hands.
She nodded her head again in thanks, and then opened her mouth slightly, as if she couldn't help but say something.
Wei Yeqiu put the wine glass in front of her, looked at her speechless appearance, and said, "Curious why I chose the three of them?" ”
Shark Silk nodded.
"Of course it's not because of this pot of osmanthus wine, and it won't be because I'm interested in that woman." Wei Yeqiu looked at the shark and said, "Do you think they don't agree to follow me all the time, and they just want to give me a ride, they must be disloyal, right?" ”
Shark nodded honestly: "Yes." ”
"However, these people downstairs, even if they are willing to kneel down and shout that they are willing to go up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire for me, who can really ensure loyalty? To put it bluntly, they are all running for the fame and status of this son, and maybe half of them have bad intentions. The reason why I chose the three of them is precisely because they directly said that they were not interested in following this son. In this way, it is reliable. Got it? Sometimes reliability is more important than loyalty. After speaking, Wei Gongzi smiled to himself and said, "But it is not ruled out that I am smart but I am mistaken by being smart, but it doesn't hurt." ”
After speaking, Wei Yeqiu took a sip of lotus seed soup and closed his eyes slightly to be satisfied. But he muttered again: "Even if the soup is poisonous, this son is not afraid." ”
