Chapter 1452: Little Day
After leaving Ye Gucheng's residence, Richard said hello to everyone in the nameless team and the old butler, and left alone, teleporting to Wushuang City through the post station in Baiyun City.
When Richard walked out of the field post station outside the Wushuang City, it was already night, the bright moon was hanging high, the moon stars were scarce, and the official road in front of him seemed to be shrouded in a light veil, which looked hazy and beautiful.
Outside the gate of Wushuang City, the gate has been closed, leaving only a small door for one person to pass is still open, and there are four soldiers guarding the door, I don't know what topic they are talking about, and there is a little rippling smile on their faces.
When they saw Richard, their faces turned grim, and one of the soldiers asked softly, "Young man, are you going to the city?" Dare to ask where did the young man come from, what was the reason for entering the city in the middle of the night? ”
Another soldier added: "Young man, don't blame, this is the rule set by the city lord. If the young man doesn't want to say it, it doesn't matter, but he has to ask the young man to register his name and residence in the city here, if the young man is in any emergency, you can also tell us, we will report it for you, and the city lord's mansion will help you as much as possible. ”
Compared with the flying and domineering soldiers stationed in other places, the attitude of the soldiers stationed in Wushuang City is obviously many times better, plus with Dugu Sword in charge, safety can be guaranteed, no wonder the businessmen in the world of rivers and lakes like to come to Wushuang City to do business.
Richard said with a smile: "In Ximengua, I came here late at night to ask to see Senior Dugu. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask the Dharma Protector to come over, he knows me and can prove my identity. ”
Hearing the three words of Ximen Gua, the faces of the four soldiers changed in unison, and they looked at each other and said with a smile: "If you want to come to this Peerless City, no one has dared to pretend to be the identity of the Little Sword Saint." I was offended a lot just now, and I hope that the little sword saint is not strange, the little sword saint please go to the city. ”
With that, the four of them turned sideways and moved out of the way, watching Richard step through the small gate and into the city. Looking at his back, the four of them showed a little curiosity and concern in their eyes, and whispered.
"He's a melon? It's pretty good-looking. ”
"I heard that he is the next guardian of our Peerless City, it looks ordinary, but it doesn't seem ordinary. This feels... It's like the last time I saw the old lord on the street. ”
"I suddenly remembered one thing, the old city lord and our city lord are brothers, but the little sword saint and the little city lord are not. The two of them even have different surnames and are not related by blood. When one of them becomes the new guardian of Wushuang City, and the other becomes our new city lord, will it be then..."
"Shut up! These things are not something we can discuss, don't say what we shouldn't say, we just need to guard the gates of the Peerless City. ”
Walking into the city, because it was already the middle of the night, the streets were extremely empty, and there was no one in sight. Walking to the mouth of an alley, a familiar voice suddenly came from the alley on the side.
"Eun Gong!"
Richard subconsciously felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, and he turned his head to look at it with a slight pause, only to see a baked cake stall in the alley, candlesticks on four tables, and candles the size of soybeans illuminating the surroundings.
Behind the board stood an honest man, with a smile on his face, and said to Richard: "Engong doesn't recognize me?" I am..."
Richard suddenly remembered his identity, interrupted him and said with a smile: "I know, Niu Liu." ”
The man in front of him is none other than Niu Liu, who once had a small relationship with Richard in this peerless city. This guy once wanted to jump into the moat and commit suicide because he couldn't catch up with his sister, and was rescued by Richard.
Richard was very impressed, at that time, in order to help him catch up with his sister, he also gave him a trick to write love poems, those two peerless love poems, I still remember them vividly...
The two have not seen each other since. Richard didn't expect to see Niu Liu here again today, compared to the last time he saw him, his body was a lot fatter, his skin was whiter, and his face was faintly ruddy.
Niu Liu saw Richard call out his name, and the smile on his face was even worse, and said, "I didn't expect Engong to remember me." Eun Gong just came back? I invite you to eat baked cakes, I also have dumplings and wontons, which bite do you love? Look at my brain, I heard my mother-in-law say that people love to drink, so I'm going to buy a pot of good wine! ”
As he spoke, he wiped his floury hands on his white apron, picked up a hot biscuit, stuffed it into Richard's hand without saying a word, and turned to pick up the broken silver from the board to go to buy wine.
Richard stopped him and said with a smile: "Don't drink at night, just bring me a bowl of wontons." You're talking about your mother-in-law, but your Tingting sister-in-law? ”
Niu Liu responded, welcomed Richard to a table, and said with a smile: "It's her." used to be called Tingting's sister-in-law, but after becoming a parent, she changed her name to her mother-in-law. You don't know yet, I'm about to become a father. ”
Richard smiled and said: "This is a good thing, then you don't go back to accompany your daughter-in-law so late, do business here, aren't you afraid that your daughter-in-law will say you?" ”
Niu Liu scratched his head and smiled, "When I finish the morning casino wave and breakfast, I will go back, just when the two of them got up." I rebuilt the house with the money I had left behind by my father, and then I built this baked cake stand. If there is no Engong, my Niu Liu may still be a bachelor now, how can I have the current life. ”
As he spoke, Niu Liu's eyes turned red, and he stood up and was about to kneel on the ground with his legs bent. Richard hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, the man has gold under his knees, how can there be any reason to kneel for people at every turn." ”
"Niu Liu, come fifty baked cakes!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the entrance of the alley, and I saw a young man with a gloomy face turn in and shouted, "Hurry up!" The third master, they are still waiting! ”
Niu Liu's body trembled slightly, and he threw an apologetic look at Richard in response, walked quickly to the board, and took out a bamboo basket covered with a thin quilt, only to see that the bamboo basket was filled with steaming pancakes. He counted fifty pancakes and handed them to the young man, who took them and turned to leave.
Niu Liu's face was anxious, and he said, "Master... That one... Silver. ”
The young man didn't reply: "I owe it first, and I'll give it to you next time." ”
Niu Liu's face was even more bitter, "You already owe it six times, and it adds up to more than ten taels of silver." I'm buying it for a small amount... If you can't make a lot of money, you should do it well and settle this money for me. ”
The young man turned around abruptly and looked at Niu Liu with a fierce face, "Rory, it's boring, Lao Tzu wants your baked cakes to look up to you, and the silver will naturally be given to you when the time comes." Believe it or not, Lao Tzu, what's wrong with you, this broken cake stand! ”
"Bang!"
Before the words could be heard, the young man suddenly flew upside down, like a kite with a broken string flying out of the street and falling on the street.
The baked cake in his hand flew out of his hand and flew high, and fell back into the bamboo basket in front of Niu Liu.
Richard swallowed the last bite of the biscuits, stood up, picked up a biscuit from the bamboo basket, and said, "Fill me with a bowl of wontons, and I'll bring it to the old man at home." How much? ”
Niu Liu was shocked, and subconsciously responded when he heard the words, and only came back to his senses after loading the wontons, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "How can I ask for your silver, can't I ask for it." ”
Richard no longer insisted, turned his head to look at the young man lying on the street, and Nunu said, "Which family is he?" ”
Niu Liu sighed softly: "The guards of the money-gathering gambling houses on the streets in the east, among the six gambling houses in Wushuang City, they are the only ones who never give silver. ”
Richard nodded, turned around with a roast cake in one hand and a wonton in the other, waved his hand without looking back, and said, "Let's go." ”
Niu Liu bent down and said, "Eh, Engong will come back next time, I will be here every day." ”
Walking out of the alley and returning to the street, Richard stood for a while, then suddenly turned around and walked towards the west, until he came to the end, and saw the money gambling house that Niu Liukou said.
The crowd is sensational, and the bustle is very lively.
Richard pouted and said, "It's not good, it's far worse than the Golden Hook Gambling House in Chang'an City." ”
"Boom !!"
With a loud bang, sword qi descended, piercing the roof of the gambling house. The gamblers in the gambling house suddenly became a mess, scurrying around like headless flies, and rushed out of the gambling house.
When they walked out of the door, everyone's footsteps paused, and they stared at the eight small words on the ground under the steps in front of them.
It is only natural to repay debts.
