There are only a few people in the castle hall, and there are no piles of eunuchs and magnates, and the hall is a little deserted although it is splendid. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Su Xiao and the three of them walked into the hall, it was rare that the city lord did not sit in the VIP seat on the high platform, but set up a small table under the high platform, set up two candlesticks, and drank and chatted with five people of different ages.

Seeing Su Xiao's figure, the old housekeeper standing on the side hurriedly reminded the city lord, "My lord, the brave man has arrived." ”

Hearing the old butler's words, the first one to speak out was Berner, holding a wine glass in one hand and waving at Su Xiao and the three of them with the other, shouting from afar: "Su Xiao, come and eat crabs!" ”

Su Xiao and the three of them walked over unhurriedly, their eyes swept over the five companions of the city lord one by one, but they happened to be some acquaintances: Allen, the eldest prince of the Marshall family, Bernard, the second son of the Marshall family, Kandal, the head of the guardian knights, Merlin, the magician of the city, and an old man in black robes who had passed the age of knowing his fate, with a large brush standing tall enough to be a man tall, and he could be guessed with his knees that he was the great writer of Peacock City.

"Come on, come on, sit casually!" The city lord drank some wine, his face was slightly red, and while beckoning Su Xiao and the three of them to take a seat, he said with a smile: "This is the crab that was just transported from Dayan City in the Land of Lakes today, the male is strong and the female is fat, and I specially called you here to try it." If I have an appetite with you, I will send you a few every day in the future! ”

"This can be there." Crabs are valuable aquatic products in the real world, and then look at those on the table, the female crabs are two fists big each, and the male crabs are eager to fill a bowl, and the red shell is bulging high, and you can smell the unique sweetness of river crabs from afar. Since the city lord is willing to give, Su Xiao is of course willing to ask for it.

Because she was not familiar with the other people, Su Xiao took Chen Yaxuan and Alice to sit between Berner and Kandal, and while putting a female crab with crab roe that was about to burst out on Alice's plate, she leaned into Chen Yaxuan's ear and whispered without leaving a trace: "Look at this posture, it shouldn't be a proposition composition, right?" I can't think of a poem about crabs. ”

Chen Yaxuan pursed her lips and smiled, and whispered: "There are more than a dozen poems about crabs in "Dream of Red Mansions", but I haven't memorized them. ”

Su Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Dream of Red Mansions? I have watched "Journey to the West" in the four famous novels, which is still a TV series. ”

"Young master, how do you eat this? I can't open it. Alice didn't care about any poetry and songs, her nose was special, and she smelled the scent of crabs before she entered the hall, and her saliva was already watering. But the crab is not said to be eaten, even if it is steamed, it still has two large pincers with long hairs, which scared Alice to not move her mouth.

Although Su Xiao has only eaten hairy crabs two or three times, and he is not like those professionals who often use more than a dozen tools to get started, he is still quite skilled in breaking crab legs and opening crab shells, and said while peeling them: "That's it, break them open, throw them away, these white are lungs, and you can't eat them......"

Looking at Su Xiao's happy appearance of the "family of three", the slightly drunk city lord sighed: "It's better to be brave, free and unrestrained, no need to look at people's faces, no need to intrigue, you can accompany your wife and children every day, it's really enviable!" ”

"yes, yes." Kandal didn't know if he was feeling it or if he was used to it on weekdays, so he hurriedly responded twice.

However, the city lord did not pay attention to Kandal, but patted the back of the two sons beside him excitedly, and said earnestly: "You two, you don't let me worry since you were a child, look at the brave people, it's not good to learn from others!" ”

There are two things recognized in the whole city, one is the greed of the city lord, and the other is the lust of Alan Marshall.

Berner is different from his eldest brother, although he has an aristocratic temper, but in essence, he is still a motivated young man, with his own ideals, ambitions and pursuits, he immediately rolled his eyes when he heard the topic of marrying a wife and having children, and muttered that he already had a fiancée, while whispering to Su Xiao: "Ignore him, this person is like this when he drinks, and he is annoyed!" Isn't this my sister running away from home, and he borrows wine with this to kill his sorrows. ”

"You still have a sister?" Su Xiao asked curiously while helping Chen Yaxuan peel crabs, and said that although the city owner has poor character but good looks, his two sons are also beautiful men, and his daughter is definitely not much worse.

Unexpectedly, at the mention of that sister, Berner shook his head regretfully, and said in a deep voice: "In our family, my sister is a taboo, and the level 18 is capped, which makes other families laugh at it." Even when they are of marriageable age, they can't even find a man who is the right person, what do you say about worrying about ruining their noble blood, I it! ”

The strength of this world is supreme, level 18 is simply a turnip cabbage among those who have jobs, although Su Xiao understands and understands Berna's anger, but he doesn't think that the other nobles are wrong, they are all mixed in the court, and the title is largely related to bloodline, who dares to take this risk? Of course, Su Xiao would not say these words to the parties, but only asked: "If you can't find the right person, your sister will run away from home?" ”

"How is that possible?" Berner glanced at the city lord in disgust, and then whispered: "My father lost face in front of other nobles, and when he came back, he made my sister angry, and I don't know the specific situation, but he probably said stupid things like 'shouldn't give birth to you' to my sister." My sister has a good temper, but she is more stubborn than me in her bones, how can she stay at home after hearing such words, she left a letter a few nights ago, and followed your group of brave men away. Anyway, she entered the Jade Phoenix, at least her life is worry-free, I want to persuade her to go home, but there are some words that I really can't say, hey......"

"Don't sigh." Su Xiao rarely picked up the wine glass, touched Bernard's cup lightly, and said melancholy: "Isn't the world like this, people are different, since you noble families can jump out of genius from time to time, then naturally there will be such a qualified one day." Think about me, a game nerd who can't even go to college, can still cross over and be a brave, it's all fate! ”

Su Xiao thought that the city lord called him over to discuss literature, but he didn't expect that everyone was eating crabs and drinking wine, and no one was taking literature at all. Su Xiao and Berner discuss life, Chen Yaxuan and Alice taste crabs, the city lord and Alan complain to each other, Merlin, Akadi and Kandal compliment each other, this table of crabs is eaten before you know it, and the stars and moon are also hung on the dome.

There is no grain liquor in this world, and even aged fruit wine is generally low in degree. After the crab was eaten, a servant immediately brought out a few bowls of hangover soup similar to Tom Yum Gong, and after drinking it, everyone sweated, and most of everyone's alcohol strength receded.

Seeing that the time was not early, the city lord took the lead in getting up and stretching, and said, "Today is fun, it's almost time to go back." ”

Su Xiao also planned to rest early and put into a new round of training tomorrow, and when he saw that the city lord, the person who organized the bureau, had withdrawn, he immediately got up and said goodbye.

At this moment, Akadi, who had not spoken to Su Xiao at the table, finally spoke: "Lord of the City, please wait for a while." ”

"Huh?" The city lord smiled and asked, "Could it be that our great writer has any inspiration again?" ”

Hearing the city lord's question, Akadi immediately held the huge brush beside him, and said in a low voice: "The city lord only knows that the brave man has the courage of ten thousand people, but I am afraid that he does not know that the brave man is also an out-and-out scholar, tonight everyone is rare to gather together, it is also fate, the old man took this opportunity to dare to issue a challenge to the brave, and I hope the city lord will judge!" ”

"Oh?" The city lord was more interested in literature than in combat, and immediately asked: "Su Xiao, you are still a literary hero?" Is this serious? ”

Su Xiao secretly sighed that it should come sooner or later, and then agreed embarrassedly: "I understand a little, I understand a little." ”

Hearing Su Xiao's answer, the city lord immediately became interested and hurriedly asked, "Akadi's challenge, can you accept it?" ”

"Yes, yes, but the scope of literature is too wide, can you tell me how to compare it first?" There are only a few ancient poems that Su Xiao can memorize, and he has to find a step for himself, "Several of them also know that we are usually busy with training, and if this Wendou takes up too long and delays our rest, it will be a bit of putting the cart before the horse." ”

As long as Su Xiaoken agreed, there was nothing wrong with Akadi, looking around the hall, pointing to the row of windows that were more than 5 meters high, and said: "The moonlight is charming tonight, we might as well improvise the moon for a while, and never delay the time of the brave!" ”

"The moon?" Hearing this proposition, Su Xiao almost burst into laughter, he tried his best to search for ancient poems related to crabs, but he didn't expect it to be the moon? Isn't bullying you like playing?

Akadi obviously didn't want to give Su Xiao any chance to regret it, closed his eyes and muttered for three seconds, and immediately said to the city lord: "Lord City Lord, the old man has been inspired, you might as well let me throw bricks and lead the jade first!" ”

"Okay, please."

"When the full moon is in the sky, the moonlight is like a curtain. The breeze is coming from afar. With the light of the stars and the moon, the breath of wine and meat, the chaos of demons and evils, and the spirit of heaven and earth! After saying these few words in high spirits, Akadi felt that he had won the battle, but it was not good to show that there was no one in his eyes, so he pretended to be modest, arched his hand to the city lord, and said: "The old man is ashamed, such a few words that are not successful, let the city lord laugh." ”

"Where's the word, Mr. Akadi is worthy of being a great writer in our Peacock City, and it is really remarkable that just a few sentences of improvisation can be so beautiful and swallow mountains and rivers!" The city lord praised Akadi's sentence, and in his opinion, even if Wen Dou was not as good as Wu Dou, it was combative to be able to win Su Xiao, "So, how are you preparing Su Xiao?" ”

Does Yinyue still need to prepare? Su Xiao was confident, but he pretended to have a lonely expression on his face, looked at the moonlight on the ground, and said faintly: "The bright moonlight in front of the table is suspected to be frost on the ground." Raise your head to look at the bright moon and bow your head to think of your hometown. ”

Hearing Su Xiao's poems, Akadi was hit by ten thousand critical blows, and he took three steps back, and then sat on the ground with a puff, and said with a ashamed face: "The brave man has profound skills, old man...... Lost! (To be continued.) )
