Chapter 4 Unusual
Seeing this scene, Zhong Mu shook his head helplessly, his handsome eyes drooped darkly, Qi Shiliang saw Zhong Mu's sad appearance, and comforted: "The eldest prince doesn't have to worry too much, the second prince is still young, and it is normal for people to be playful by nature, I believe he will be white in the future." ”
"I hope so." Then Zhong Mu also stepped into the inn.
"Little Er, come and deliver a few jars of good spirits and the best dishes in the store to my room." As soon as Zhong Nan walked into the inn, he excitedly said to the shopkeeper on the side.
His voice was a little immature, crisp and bright like a child's voice, and his steps were swaggering and waving his sleeves to show mischievousness. The face is delicate and bowing, the skin is yellowish, and the black eyes are clear and bright, like a newborn baby, without a trace of impurities.
His long black hair stood on end, revealing his upright features, and he was dressed in a garment made of fine satin, and matched his slender figure, a proper beautiful man.
Xiao Er saw that this guest official was extraordinary, dressed noblely, and there were more than a dozen men following him, and he was a big man, so he didn't dare to slack off, and greeted him with a smile: "Okay, guest officer, please wait a while, it's okay right away." Then he went to the back kitchen to order the dishes, and then went to the wine cellar to get a few jars of the store's aging.
As soon as Zhong Mu's legs entered the inn, he noticed an unusual aura, he used his afterglow to sweep the inn, the two tables of guests on the left, a total of eight big men, a closer look can find that everyone's waist is slightly bulging, deliberately covered with a placket, Zhong Mu guessed that nine times out of ten it is a weapon such as a saber, and the murderous aura is obviously coming from them.
They were dressed plainly, and they seemed to be undoubtedly the same as the common people, but there was wine on their table, but they only ate food and did not drink, and their expressions were nervous and their eyes were detached.
There was a table of guests on the right, and the two of them were very happy, and their voices were loud, which added a sense of vitality to the inn that was not very lively. The guests at the other table in the corner were different, one of them was an old man dressed plainly, sitting elegantly, his long white beard hanging straight, his eyebrows gray, his face wrinkled, but his eyes were full of energy.
Sitting with the old man was a young man dressed in white, with his hair tied up and his crown upset, his face was delicate, he looked about ten years old, his body was thin and slender, and there was a dazzling array of fine wine and delicacies on the table.
Along the way, Zhong Mu's demeanor and actions in the inn were carefully observed, and he did not miss a trace of clues, so he already knew it, and this time Yi Jianxing was probably not so simple.
"Hey! Have you heard? Just a few days ago, the Turkic Khan's peerless jade pendant Longpan enshrined to the former emperor Tang Taizong was lost for no reason, but Longpan has been treasured in the emperor's treasure pavilion, and the palace was originally heavily guarded. I don't know who is so bold to dare to steal the treasures in the palace, the emperor knew that he was angry and executed the generals and guards guarding the treasure pavilion, and ordered to track down the treasure thieves, only give a one-month deadline, and if the treasure thieves cannot be found, the people below will inevitably die. If you want me to say, except for the famous thief Du Xun who never misses a move in the rivers and lakes, I'm afraid no one has that ability, right? A middle-aged man with a big waist shared the news he heard on the way with another man of the same age.
Speaking of the back, the man with a big waist deliberately lowered his voice, looked around vigilantly and said: "I heard that there is a shocking secret hidden in Longpan, some people say that Longpan is the key to unlocking the treasure of Nanshan, and some people say that Longpan hides a long-lost martial arts cheatbook, and some people say that those who win Longpan win the world, and this matter is very evil." ”
Another man with thick eyebrows and big eyes who was sitting with him was surprised when he heard this: "Really? No wonder the big names in the rivers and lakes are fighting for it. ”
"It's not, anyway, the loss of Longpan is absolutely accurate, but I don't know what secrets are hidden behind Longpan, they are all from the people on the Tao." The man with a big waist and a round waist said with his hands around his chest.
"It seems that the days after this are getting more and more difficult, and now there are fights and killings all day long, and civil strife continues, but it hurts us ordinary people who are powerless." The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes raised his glass and sighed, and then drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, feeling sad in his heart.
"yes!" The man with a big waist also sighed and agreed.
Zhong Mu was led by his men to the room where he rested tonight, he poured a glass of water, and was about to drink it when he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." An intoxicating voice sounded.
"The eldest prince, the owner of the village instructed, let the eldest prince go to the owner's room immediately." A disciple of Xueqi Mountain Villa pushed the door in response, respectfully saluted Zhong Mu, and conveyed the owner's order.
Zhong Mu Junxiu's face did not have an extra expression, drank the water in his hand, and replied lightly: "Okay, I'll go over later, you go down first." ”
"Yes." The disciple who came to deliver the message answered and withdrew.
The other side.
Zhong Nan waited in the room for about a quarter of an hour, and when he saw that the shopkeeper hadn't brought the wine yet, he couldn't help but shout anxiously to the door: "Little Er, where is my wine?" How did it take so long? ”
"Ouch! Guest, your wine is here, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. The shopkeeper carried two jars of wine on the table with his left and right hands, uncovered the red cloth on the wine jar, and introduced while pouring wine for the guest officer: "This guest officer, this wine is the treasure of the store, and it is also the strongest wine in the store, named Jian Nanchun, can you taste it to see if it suits your appetite?" ”
Zhong Nan waved his sleeves in a dashing manner, raised his glass heroically and drank it all, refreshing, and nodded, very satisfied, "Hmm!" This wine is good, strong enough. ”
Jian Nanchun will have a spicy taste when he first enters his throat, until his abdomen will be a little swollen and hot, and he usually doesn't drink alcohol to drink this cup, I'm afraid that he will already be dizzy, and Zhong Nan has been a good drinker since he was a child, and he has drunk all the wine that is stronger than this, even if he drinks four or five jars, there is no problem.
After tasting the wine, Zhong Nan was happy and rewarded a few copper coins to the shopkeeper, and the second child took it in surprise.
"Guest officer, you can drink happily, I will serve you the delicacies you ordered immediately, you wait a while." The shopkeeper nodded and smiled, weighed the copper coins in his hand, and immediately went down to serve the food.
"Knock knock." There was a dull knock on the door.
Zhong Zhiye said in a deep voice, "Come in." ”
Zhong Mu elegantly pushed the door in, the room was very quiet, the whole house only had the squeak of opening the door just now, the tall and mighty Zhong Zhiye sat silently on the stool, saw Zhong Mu come in, and immediately poured a glass of water.
"Dad, what are you looking for me?" After Zhong Mu softly closed the door, he bent down and saluted and asked.
