Chapter Seventy-Six: Charcoal and Roast Meat (Five Thousand Three)
A hint of whiteness gradually rises in the east, and then the sun rises, dispelling the last of the night and returning the sky to clarity.
I don't know if it is related to yesterday's thunderstorm, today there is no cloud, the sky is extremely high and blue, the air is slightly cold and clean, quite a feeling of autumn air, people's mood can not help but feel much more comfortable.
Yesterday in the realm of Liangzhou, at least two middle and third-grade masters died, and a fourth-grade little grandmaster was abolished martial arts, life and death are unpredictable, and the city gate on the north side of Liangzhou City collapsed in half, not to mention that it took half a month to repair.
And because of this incident, Zhou Huan, a state official wearing a light scarlet official uniform, was forcibly detained, detained in prison, and handed over to the control of the famous arrest from Tianjing City.
Whether it is on the rivers and lakes or on the court side, there are enough shocks.
But for most of the people of Liangzhou City, last night was not particularly important, and they didn't even know what happened yesterday and why the city gate collapsed.
The thing they talked about was just where there was a beautiful woman singing and dancing last night, that figure was really good-looking, where was it a fire, mentioning the thunder last night, just laughed and said that I don't know if any young man took advantage of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the beauty was drunk, and he ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and swore to God.
Enough talk, while there is still some wine and meat, hastily ate breakfast, to take advantage of the mooncake before the flavor, all eaten, it can be expected that in the future, for a long time, every family's breakfast will be mooncakes.
The faces of the vendors of the bread stalls have turned black into charcoals.
The whole city stretched out its loin, and immediately recovered from the hustle and bustle of last night, and the people in the city returned to their daily normal life, where they went to work yesterday, and where they went today, all kinds of shops opened early, but there were not many people in the shop, only the shopkeeper lay on the table, half-squinted and napped, and most of the men were busy dismantling the lanterns.
The rest of the materials, many of which were smoky-smoked satin, with blackened marks, and the usual scented incense, were conventionally left to be divided among the men who worked for them.
The shopkeeper holds his own identity, and he doesn't look down on these things, and thinks that wearing them out like this is unsightly, but for the guys, those satin and aromatherapy are already good things that he is reluctant to spend money on weekdays.
If you take it back, you can make the mother-in-law of the family happy for a few days, save for a few years, you can make some clothes for your children that can be on the table, and you will be much more diligent in doing work, the shopkeeper of Zhang's Inn squinted his eyes, thinking that in about half a day, he will be able to deal with those lanterns, and the business is on the right track.
It's a pity that every year the Mid-Autumn Festival is the day for the wanderers to return to their hometowns, and when these restaurants who gathered in Liangzhou City because of the rush to the Liangzhou Cocktail Party leave, the inn will be like a cake stall, falling into a long period of deserted days.
The shopkeeper, who took the opportunity to raise the accommodation fee ten times last night, unconsciously put his finger on the abacus and pulled it, and saw that there were far more soldiers and servants on the street than in the past.
He thought of the wandering young man who had been killed outside his inn last night, and the roaring thunder, and a trace of hesitation appeared on his face, thinking about whether to say hello to the familiar military officials, and ask from the side what was going on, and whether it would affect his business.
If the problem is more serious, it is better to temporarily dismiss one or two guys.
But then you might have to have a blood, and at the very least, you'd have to treat them to a meal of wine and meat.
The thoughts were chaotic, a little distracted, the shopkeeper didn't notice, a few people walked in from outside the inn, until the first middle-aged man's palm was not light or heavy on the mahogany cabinet table, making a crisp sound, the shopkeeper was called back to his senses, and a warm smile instinctively appeared on his face, and he greeted:
"How many are objective, top-notch or live in a hotel? Half a month ago, the shop received a lame ploughing cow, and now there happens to be cooked beef to eat, as well as newly beaten moon cakes and rice porridge, and the price is reasonable. ”
As he spoke, he had the strength to look at the group.
At first glance, I made a judgment, which was different from the line of fat sheep that came to the store last night.
Among those people were old men, there were women, there was only one young man, but the ten people in front of him were all men in the prime of life, and the steely muscles were extremely obvious even if they were wearing loose clothes, which could not be compared to a few fierce tattoos tattooed on the body by the floating green skins.
Even if he is standing, his back is straight, he holds a knife in one hand, and he is silent, which naturally has a sense of oppression that ordinary people do not have. The clothes on his body seemed to be stained with the autumn dew in the morning, and they looked a little heavy.
Nine of them did not speak, but the man who was headed by him with stiff cheeks and some wrinkles at the center of his eyebrows, but did not look old, subconsciously walked forward half a step, walked in front of everyone, and said slowly:
"Stay in the hotel."
"Arrange five rooms for us."
Cao Limin said as he reached out to his arms to withdraw the money.
After the people of Shenwu Mansion entered the city, they had dispersed into several teams, each team had more than ten people, and as little as three people, with Wang Anfeng's Zhang's Inn as the center to find a place to stay, occupying all the high positions, forming a defensive formation, protecting Wang Anfeng and the others.
As the ten veterans who are the most elite and good at fighting, they live in the Zhang Inn.
Cao Limin had already learned from Wang Anfeng that the opening price of the shopkeeper in front of him was extremely black, and an upper room would cost three taels of silver, which was at least eight times more expensive than usual, and might even be more than ten times.
Although he looks rough, his mind is quite delicate, otherwise he would not have been able to participate in the general, and guessed between the lines that Wang Anfeng was slaughtered by this shopkeeper, if it is an ordinary time, he must let this person know the fate of doing this.
However, Wang Anfeng had already informed him in advance that it was not appropriate to cause disputes, attract unnecessary attention, and increase the possibility of revealing his identity.
Therefore, Cao Limin did not plan to have a conflict with this person, before coming here, he had prepared a small denomination silver ticket of fifteen taels in advance, and at this time, he held it in his right hand and was about to take it out.
The shopkeeper, who has three layers of chin and looks very blessed, smiled and said:
"Chenghui, always five hundred dollars."
Cao Limin paused slightly, then let go of the silver ticket, put his right hand on the table, left a small piece of broken silver, swirled, and then fell, making a crisp sound.
Wang Anfeng returned here, but he didn't act separately with the people of Shenwu Mansion, and even Gong Yu and Dongfang Ximing, because he was still carrying the four-grade master who had been chopped into charcoal by him and had a hidden aroma of barbecue.
As far as the current personnel in Liangzhou City are concerned, on the surface, Wang Anfeng is the only one who can hang this first-class wanted criminal with medical skills and prevent him from choking in his sleep one day.
Tie Lin said that he would immediately rush back to the Liangzhou City Mansion to find Wuxin and let him hand over the necessary things with Wang Anfeng, and during this period of time, or rather, before finding a doctor with medical skills who can replace Wang Anfeng, he can only let him take care of it a little.
This result made Wang Anfeng, who originally planned to save Xu Sixing's life, throw this hot potato to Wuxin, and wait for the latter to pry Xu Sixing's mouth open, and then go to inquire about the origin of Wuxin's incident and the passage of Wang Anfeng's forehead as Dongfang Ximing's relative.
did a lot of calculations, but I didn't expect that it was a stone that hit myself in the foot.
It's a huge one, doesn't there be a slightly decent doctor in Liangzhou City?
Wang Anfeng couldn't help but slander, but he thought that it was all because he was accustomed to the requirements of the second master, and because he was afraid of Xu Sixing's strength, so he only left him with a qi machine that could barely hang a breath.
Because similar things have been practiced too many times in the Shaolin Temple, Wang Anfeng found this embarrassing result after sealing Xu Sixing's meridians, and at that time, Xu Sixing's qi had been split by him with a knife and returned to the ruins.
As a result, when Tie Lin knew Xu Sixing's name and the culprit still had a breath, he couldn't help but be a little excited on his face. But when he sknuckled down to inspect the charcoal-covered murderer, who touched his arm to make a crispy sound like charcoal or roast duck, and had a burning smell and a faint smell of meat, his cold face turned a little green.
Wang Anfeng felt that if there was no previous matter, Tie Lin would probably ignore the surrounding defenders and the Shenwu Mansion, regardless of the difference in strength between them, and draw his thin sword on the spot to compare with himself.
Recalling the aggrieved appearance of Fang Cai Tielin, the last trace of anger in Wang Anfeng's heart also dissipated, at this moment he was moving quickly in the city, his own qi pry the surrounding heaven and earth, forming a fresh breeze that did not look unusual, covering the smell of coke on Xu Sixing's body, and would not attract the special attention of others.
On the way, he threw down a small piece of broken silver, grabbed a sheet from a courtyard, wrapped Xu Sixing several times, and then ran to Zhang's Inn with peace of mind.
Along the way, Wang Anfeng was like a thief, drifting in the direction of the inn with this piece of coke, and on the way, he had to avoid the work of dismantling the lamp tower up and down, avoiding the soldiers and officials who were unintentionally arranged, and even more avoiding the people and children who were loitering.
Needless to say, he can also know that he has no intention of suppressing the chaos, and it must have taken a lot of effort to not have too much impact on the people, and even Xu Sixing has no time to care.
If he carried a corpse that looked no different from a corpse on his back at this time, the most direct impact and result would probably be that Tie Lin had more than one ice cube and a black face, and then he wanted to open a few holes in his body with a weapon.
Thinking of the two ice cube faces of Tianjing City sitting side by side in front of him, their faces were a little dark, Wang Anfeng couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly, and his movements were a little more careful, for fear that his careless negligence would attract the unintentional attention of the people.
It took a lot of effort to return to the inn safely.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of Cao Limin and the others to enter the inn, he lightly knocked open the room that belonged to him with his shoulder, and while jumping inside, he closed the aging wooden window with a soft wind, without making any sound and attracting anyone's attention.
It was only at this time that his heart calmed down a little, and he exhaled slowly.
Then put the half-dead Xu Sixing on the ground, and checked that his vitality in his body had stabilized, although he was still in a coma like a warrior's self-defense, but there was no need to worry about dying silently.
After a pause in his thoughts, Wang Anfeng thought of Tie Lin's blue ice face after examining Xu Sixing's injury, and added with a weak heart:
"Under the medical skills of the Medicine King Valley."
Then he walked to the windowsill, pushed the closed window open, and looked into the distance of this huge state city, where the fish scales were connected and spread to a very far place, and the people on the streets were bustling and prosperous.
It's a big city.
It is really difficult for him to rush back from the north city gate without alarming everyone, even if it is him, a lot of cold sweat is oozing from his forehead, Tie Lin originally proposed to transfer a board car over, but Wang Anfeng said that the time was almost dawn, and he was worried that the people would see it, so he could make a move.
Because, at that time, a deliberately lowered voice sounded in his ears to make his voice become gloomy and compassionate, which made him have to change his original plan.
Wang Anfeng raised his hand and knocked on his eyebrows, and repeated with a smile:
"The lord of the dignified Shenwu Mansion has split people into charcoal with thunder, and after the thunder is split, he takes money from his arms to rent a board car that pulls firewood."
"The rows of Shenwu Mansion can be smashed into foam for you......"
Wang Anfeng turned around and glanced at the black humanoid thing wrapped in a white sheet on the ground, and a thought came to his mind, anyway, the people of Daqin, donkey carts are used to pull charcoal in winter, pull a cart in advance, don't ...... One person's charcoal is harmless.
It's also very cheap, only 50 yuan.
At this time, Wang Anfeng raised his eyes slightly and looked in the direction of the door, where he felt a familiar aura, and after this time he used all his strength to attract the spirit of the wooden sword divine weapon, he found that his perception seemed to become more sensitive, and he found someone at once.
At the moment, he restrained the crying and laughing look on his face, no matter how the third master's temperament jumped, he always said that he was not wrong, his current identity is the lord of the Shenwu Mansion of the Jianghu forces, and he can no longer be as relaxed and casual as in the past, otherwise he may be underestimated even with the Shenwu Mansion.
Before someone knocked on the door, Wang Anfeng patted the dust on his body, sorted out his appearance, and then said softly before anyone came:
"Miss Sikou? Please come in ......"
Si Kou outside the door paused slightly, he didn't expect to be noticed in advance, his expression changed, and then he raised his hand and pushed open the wooden door, and saw Wang Anfeng, who was still neatly dressed, and saw the blue sky behind the latter as the background and the bustling Great Qinzhou City.
The world is vast, and all living beings are bustling, and Wang Anfeng, who is dressed in a black power suit, with his cuffs rolled up and left a white dark lining, forms a strong contrast, so strong that he doesn't seem to belong to this world and is out of place.
But there is another hidden aura that connects him with the deepest part of this world.
Si Kou listened to Feng and subconsciously stopped.
Originally, I wanted to ask Wang Anfeng what happened yesterday, but many times, there was something far more certain than words, and at this time, seeing the slight spiritual rhyme on Wang Anfeng's body that could not be restrained freely, Si Kou Tingfeng's guess in his heart had been determined.
Even if yesterday's thunder was not made by Wang Anfeng, it was inseparable from him.
After confirming this, Si Kou didn't have anything more to say when she heard Feng, but looking at Wang Anfeng who was smiling gently in front of her, she felt that she couldn't just come in like this, look at him, turn around and leave, it was really rude.
Si Kou heard that the expression on Feng's face was still cold, his eyes swept from the room, and then fell on Wang Anfeng's feet, it was pitch black, her brows were slightly furrowed, because of the angle problem, she only saw part of it, and she didn't think in the direction of a person for a while, and asked casually:
"It's only autumn, how did you get this pile of charcoal back?"
Wang Anfeng smiled on his face, at this time, even if Xu Sixing's tragic situation was completely caused by him, he could not contain a trace of guilt and pity for this fierce and cruel murderer in his heart.
After all, he was once a top martial artist who was expected to be a grandmaster.
Wang Anfeng pursed his lips, and was thinking about how to explain the origin of this piece of human-shaped charcoal in his mind, when there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the white-haired renunciation strode in, and the tiger's eyes fell on Xu Sixing, slightly stunned, and said:
"Feng'er, you went out and chopped some charcoal and came back?!"
The corners of Wang Anfeng's mouth twitched slightly, he raised his hand and knocked on his eyebrows, and kicked this Jianghu murderer with a force that would not affect the dissipation of the qi in Xu Sixing's body, revealing a face with his eyes closed and the corners of his lips pursed, and he could still see some of the original elegance, but there was no hair.
Liqi Dao was surprised: "Kunlun slave?!" ”
The corners of Wang Anfeng's mouth twitched, he glanced at Si Kou Tingfeng, shook his head, and said in a calm tone:
"No, it's Xu Sixing."
Si Kou, who was familiar with the identities of the major masters on the rivers and lakes, listened to Feng's pupils shrink suddenly.
Gong Yu rushed back to the city with Dongfang Ximing, and when he went back, there were many people eating breakfast on the first floor of the inn, and the cook in the inn set up a wooden table outside, on which two black iron cauldrons were placed, and there were moon cakes with the word "peace" in it, as well as warm rice porridge, and the aroma was shocking.
Dongfang Ximing has been arrested by Chi Pengfei since last night, he was frightened all the way, he didn't eat anything, he smelled the aroma, his stomach couldn't help but make a sound, and his face turned red.
Gong Yu's footsteps stopped slightly, and said lightly:
"It happened to be the time of breakfast, so I didn't rush to eat first."
Dongfang Ximing's eyes lit up slightly, and he sat down next to a wooden table with Gong Yu, and a guy had already wiped the table clean, scalded the teacup with boiling water, served two bowls of tea, and asked enthusiastically what kind of breakfast to use, saying that there is good porridge today, good Hu cakes, moon cakes, light side dishes, red oil cucumbers.
Dongfang Ximing glanced at Gong Yu, his voice was weak, and said:
"Yes, is there meat......
Xiao Er nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, yes!" Half a month ago, I killed a lame ploughing cow and made cooked beef and stewed beef, but unfortunately, there is not much left, by the way, today's kitchen also made some new pork legs, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the guest officer may wish to give it a try. ”
Dongfang Ximing's eyes were slightly bright, and he looked at the table next to him along with Xiao Er's fingers, the white porcelain plate was full of barbecue, not to mention three catties, the skin was a little burnt black, someone poked it with chopsticks, and the skin made a crispy sound, exuding a faint aroma.
Xiao Er smiled:
"How much does the guest officer want?"
Dongfang Ximing's face turned pale, and he subconsciously waved his hand and said:
"No, no need......"
"I don't like meat!"
