Chapter 070 [Baiyun Wine Shop, Dog Blood]
Tang An ran in the rain for about an hour, and he finally saw what seemed to be a little light in the distance.
If there is a light, it means that he is out of the forest. Where there is light, it means that there are people. Although this light was as bright as a bean, it was difficult to see in the dimness, but Tang An finally came out of the forest.
Not to mention the snakes, insects, rats and ants in this forest, Tang An also vaguely saw a lot of giant beasts, and he didn't know if they were tigers or leopards. If ordinary people take such a road, it is indeed dangerous, and it is natural that this official road is deserted.
Tang An walked forward slowly, and he found that there was a wine shop not far away, and outside this wine shop, a large flag was erected, and a row of waterproof lanterns were hanging on it, and a few words were clearly written on the lanterns.
"Baiyun Liquor Shop."
Located in a small wine shop on such a desolate official road, and then looking at the dark place like a ghost forest behind it, Tang An couldn't help but think of the word "black shop".
"Knock knock!" Tang An knocked on the door.
Such a liquor shop in such a barren place generally functions as a small inn.
After a while, Tang An heard a few scattered footsteps inside, and then, the door squeaked and was opened.
It was a small old man who opened the door. The height is less than Tang An's chest, and he is wearing a gray and white shirt, although it is a little old, but it is very neat, holding an oil lamp in his hand, holding it up, the soybean-sized firelight is dangling in front of Tang An, with a pair of small eyes, the eyes are cloudy, looking at Tang An.
The old man was hunched over, and a dim oil lamp was in his hand, the light was too dim for Tang An to see his appearance clearly, but unfortunately, Tang An caught a glimpse of his hand holding the oil lamp. It's a hand as strong as steel. Very powerful. It doesn't seem to be big, but the strength is definitely not small. Tearing tigers and leopards alive is never a problem!
"There's something wrong with this old man."
Tang Anxin thought about it, but his face was silent.
"Old man, I missed the place because I was in too much of a hurry, and I want to rest here tonight, I don't know if it's convenient." As he spoke, Tang An took out a golden leaf from his arms. He doesn't like to carry silver tickets, but he likes to carry gold leaves.
Now as soon as the gold leaf came out, the old man suddenly froze, raised his head, his eyelids jumped slightly, and then said, "Guest officer, there are too many." ”
Tang An had a smile on his face and said, "Old man, take it." You are so old, and you still have to come to such a remote place to open a store, and you are short of money. This money is nothing to me, so you can take it. ”
The old man coughed lightly and turned his head away, as if to signal something to the back. At this moment, Tang An suddenly heard a crisp laugh from inside. It's just that as soon as this laughter came out, it immediately disappeared again, and it seemed that the girl who was laughing realized something and covered her mouth.
The corners of Tang An's mouth gradually smiled: "Interesting." Didn't I really come across a black shop? In a store opened in such a place, the owner does not look like a good person. It's not a black store, if you say it, I'm afraid no one will believe it, right? ”
It was still raining outside, and it was really not the place to speak, so the old man opened the door and led Tang An inside.
"Guest officer, it's raining heavily outside, you must be tired all the way here, little old man, I'll find someone to give you a bath in kettle water to get rid of the moisture. Otherwise, it will not be cost-effective to get cold. ”
The old man said this, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Tang An didn't look like he was raining at all.
Tang An's clothes were dry, and even his hair was not wet. Except for the muddy boots on his feet, it can be seen that he is indeed a passerby in the rain.
Wait a minute?
When the old man saw Tang An's boots, he instantly felt that something was wrong!
There is a rule in the Dayan Imperial Court that ordinary people are not allowed to wear boots, only those who are officials or those who are above the entrance examination, and those who have a reputation can wear boots. And Tang An's boots, in addition to the exquisite workmanship, are also embroidered with a pair of unicorn patches.
"Who is this young man? Unicorn boots, except for generals with the rank of general, can only be worn by those who have the title of marquis or above. Could it be that this young man is actually the Marquis of my Dayan? However, in this Yongzhou City, I, Liu Laosan, have never heard of such a marquis? ”
Tang An saw him staring at his boots, and his heart suddenly understood.
"This person really has a problem, how can ordinary people care about this kind of problem?"
The man looked at the smile on Tang An's face, and immediately understood that he had been seen through. But he didn't worry, but smiled bitterly.
At this time, Tang An was a little confused.
The old man approached Tang An and whispered, "Don't be strange about this lord. I am the general guard of the Fuwang Mansion, not a villain. Then the old man looked in, and the wry smile on his face became thicker.
Tang An glanced up at the liquor store.
There were seven or eight strong men in one of the rooms, all fierce and strangely dressed, in short, at first glance, they were definitely not good people. And after these big men saw Tang An coming in, they were desperately changing their original aura and pretending to be vicious murderers. However, what kind of person is Tang An, how can he be frightened?
Not only was he not afraid, but he nodded slightly at those people, and he grinned on his face, seeing that those "wicked people" didn't know why, he only felt a chill in his heart.
On the other side of the liquor store, there is a girl with a hat on her head. The girl was dressed in red, wearing soft armor and blue horseshoe sleeves on the cuffs, which looked extremely refreshing.
Although her face was covered by a thick veil on the hat, it was difficult to see her face. It's just that when I occasionally drink, I show a white chin like mutton fat jade. And the wine-stained, wet red lips look even more attractive.
Undoubtedly, this is a beautiful girl.
And at this moment, the girl watched Tang An enter the door with a blank eye, a pair of small hands with ten fingers slender and delicate, but she kept beating the dishes and chopsticks.
Although her face was obscured by a light veil, anyone could see her anxious look.
"Up, up, up, up...... Ah, you idiots. It's on the line! The girl was very anxious, raised her eyebrows, and ordered the "wicked" people on the side.
In her script, these wicked people are the villains who fight for the tiger, and then Tang An is the down-and-out man who is bullied by the wild shop scholar, and then when those wicked people are about to do evil, pull Tang An out and beat him violently, or rob him of the money, or insult his ancestors, etc...... As long as one of the above situations occurs, then it is time for the county lord Miss Zhao to appear to save the world, punish the evil and promote the good, and defeat the wicked.
But at this moment, those "wicked people" are gritting their teeth and not daring to move.
Because, they have also discovered that something is wrong with the situation.
They bit their ears and communicated to each other, "What is Brother Liu doing?" It seemed like he was communicating something with the young man. Was it a discussion about asking the young man to act with us? Now it's time to negotiate the price, right? However, I see that the young man is richly dressed, and he is gold leaf when he makes a move, not like he is short of money. So what else is there to communicate between the two of them? It's a big deal, we just pretend to be a little bit like that. This young man is sixteen or seventeen years old and very immature, what else can he see? Even if he can see it, what else can he do with us! ”
Thinking of this, they made up their minds in their hearts, each picked up the guy, and began to prepare for their positions.
And the old man at the door looked at the expressions of the group of guys behind him, and he had already guessed their thoughts, cold sweat broke out slightly on his forehead, and he said aggrievedly in his heart: "This young man is not the little white face in the past, he will be beaten when he hits." That's a big difference! If we really beat him, we won't have to carry it ourselves. Auntie...... Looking at the appearance of the brothers, Lao Liu and I don't like both sides today, but I'm going to plant ......"
"Forget it! Big disasters and small disasters, my old Liu still recognizes them. Today, it's a big deal to be scolded by the young lady. If you offend some powerful people and cause trouble for the prince, it won't be worth it. Thinking of this, the old man took a step closer to Tang An and whispered, "Please come here, and let's talk further." Those people ......," he said, glaring fiercely out of the corner of his eye.
When the seven or eight "wicked people" saw the old man's eyes, their hearts suddenly sank, and they thought they were going to make a move.
And at this moment, there was a sudden sound of reprimand outside, and then a large number of horses' hooves rumbled, and the earth trembled!
Outside, at least a hundred people came!
Who is it?
Tang An's face moved, but he was indifferent. There aren't many people in the world who can threaten him. If it weren't for the cultivation of the Houtu Great Virtue Sutra, he wouldn't have appeared in this kind of place at all.
At this time, everyone else also heard the movement outside, and they all became nervous.
Those "wicked people" also took out their weapons one after another, intentionally or unintentionally, and slowly surrounded the women at that table.
"Miss, this horse's hoof sound is strange, not like my Dayan's soldiers and horses. The sound of the horse's hooves landed shortly, briskly and powerfully, like a swallow copying water, and walked away a little, this is Tocharo's best horse, the green swallow! ”
When the woman heard this, her face suddenly became a little nervous, but immediately, she became furious: "What? Tocharo? This is the territory of my Dayan! The cavalry of Tocharia was so bold! It really doesn't make sense. Wait until I go back and tell Brother Nian that he can send troops to kill Tochar! ”
As she spoke, with a "sonorous sound", the woman suddenly drew her sword out of its sheath. "Go open the door! Miss Ben wants to see what the Tocharian barbarians look like. ”
Suddenly, a big man among the seven or eight people flashed out and opened the door. Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand touched the door, it was bounced back by a soft force. The man's complexion changed drastically, and immediately, he began to operate his true qi, and for a while, his body was covered with a faint purple glow.
Then his hands reached for the door again, and this time, he planted deeper.
When his true qi came into contact with the door, a faint brilliance flashed on the door, and then, his strong body was bounced back with a "bang" and fell heavily to the ground.
The man wanted to get up, but suddenly, there was a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood surged up.
At this moment, a voice as low as a gnat sounded in the ears of several people in the room at the same time.
"This seat is here to do things, I know that inside is His Royal Highness the county lord of King Dayan Fu, this seat doesn't want to do much, if you don't want to die, just let me stay inside honestly and don't move!"
