Chapter 545: Breaking the Strings
Walking on the side of the road, people come and go on the street, but there is a little less fun to be had.
Although the rain is not in the way, no one likes it either. When Wei Zhaohua returned to the leisurely residence, it was already noon.
"Uncle Gao, it's raining today, and it's not much better if you want to do business. Why don't you close the store and have a meal together? Wei Zhaohua opened his mouth to propose, and Uncle Gao naturally had no reason to disobey.
Ah Qing put the food on the table, and several people sat together, just like ordinary people.
It wasn't a sumptuous meal, but unconsciously, Uncle Gao's eyes were slightly red.
Uncle Gao put down the chopsticks in his hand and couldn't help but reach out and wipe the corners of his eyes.
"Uncle Gao, what's wrong? Let's have a good meal together, why aren't you happy! Ah Qing spoke, hurriedly put down the chopsticks and comforted softly.
Wei Zhaohua also stopped his chopsticks and looked at the person opposite. Uncle Gao waved his hand gently, with a wry smile on his face.
"The old man doesn't know anything, but making wine is not a good thing. I have never had an old woman in my life, and I didn't expect that one day I would have such a happy day! ”
The three of them knew each other, and they felt a little more sympathy for Uncle Gao in their hearts.
Ah Qing couldn't help but speak, "Uncle Gao, don't take it to heart, in the future, if the girl is here, Uncle Gao will always have a happy life." Even if the girl is not there, Uncle Gao will definitely have his own natural appearance in the future, and God will not treat you badly! ”
"What Miss A-Qing said is that it depends on the kindness of the girl to be able to have today!"
As he spoke, Uncle Gao wanted to get up and salute Wei Zhaohua, but Wei Zhaohua stretched out his hand and held it down.
"If Uncle Gao says this, he will be out of sight with me. It is naturally my honor to be able to meet Uncle Gao. The world is big, it is not easy to get acquainted, Uncle Gao should not take it to heart, living in the moment is the most important. ”
Uncle Gao nodded, although he didn't get up, but he also sat down and arched his hand at Wei Zhaohua, "What the girl said is that I don't know as much as the girl, old man, I'm ashamed!" Today is also a good day, the old man should not be like this, if it disturbs your interest, please don't take it to heart. ”
"Uncle Gao, don't say that, we are all family!" Ah Qing said with a smile, not forgetting to put a few pieces of meat in the bowl for Uncle Gao.
A few people were just about to pick up chopsticks to eat, but the door of the store, which was originally closed, was suddenly knocked gently.
The four of them were slightly stunned, and Ah Qing was the first to react, hurriedly got up from his seat, and walked in the direction of the door.
"It's really strange that someone came to buy wine on this rainy day!" Uncle Gao opened his mouth and looked towards the door. I wanted to see the demeanor of outsiders, but when I actually saw it, I couldn't help but widen my eyes.
"Ahh Ah Qing screamed and couldn't help but retreat back.
Perhaps because of the rain, the man was wearing a black cloak. Originally, there was nothing wrong with covering my head, but when I raised my face slightly, the scar on my face couldn't help but be unbelievable.
Thin pieces of blood swirled around the man's face, and when he heard Ah Qing's scream, the man dodged slightly. was about to walk outside, but Wei Zhaohua had already blocked the man's way with a flashing effort.
The man looked at the woman who moved in front of him in the blink of an eye, and his face was faintly surprised. How could this woman's martial arts be so high!
"It's getting heavier and heavier outside, if you don't mind, why don't you come in and hide from the rain?"
The man ignored Wei Zhaohua's words and was about to walk around Wei Zhaohua outside. But no matter which way the person's body moved, he could clearly feel that Wei Zhaohua was in front of him.
Seeing that he couldn't break free of Wei Zhaohua's footsteps, the man stopped struggling and turned around and walked towards the store.
The farthest away from where everyone was eating, hiding in a corner, the man sat down.
"Since the girl wants me to drink, why don't you bring me the best wine here?"
The man spoke, but his voice seemed to have been smoked, which made people sound extremely uncomfortable. Ah Qing and Li Xuan were still frightened and frightened, and they didn't dare to look directly at the man's face.
When Uncle Gao heard this, he originally wanted to get up and prepare wine, but was stopped by Wei Zhaohua.
"Okay," Wei Zhaohua responded, pressed Uncle Gao's body, signaled Uncle Gao not to care, and walked towards the counter by himself. I don't know much about alcohol, but it's all alcohol.
When the man saw Wei Zhaohua going to prepare, he took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and put it on the table.
Wei Zhaohua didn't care, the person who put the wine in front of the person also sat opposite the person.
The man's brows furrowed slightly, and Wei Zhaohua stretched out his hand to fill two glasses of wine, one on the opposite side and one in front of him.
"What do you mean by that?"
"It's okay," Wei Zhaohua explained casually, and drank the wine in his hand first.
The man immediately reacted, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and drank it all.
The wine glass became empty, Wei Zhaohua picked up the wine jug again, but poured wine directly into the man's wine glass. The man drank it one by one, and did not refuse.
When the wine in the jug was finished, the man still seemed dissatisfied, and wanted to drink it again. But Wei Zhaohua, who was on the other side, didn't have any intention of getting up and getting wine.
The man tried to ask, but his vision blurred, and he slumped heavily on the table.
Ah Qing and Li Xuan hurriedly came over and looked at Wei Zhaohua puzzled, "Girl, who is he?" ”
"The world's number one killer - breaking the string!"
The thin lips opened lightly, and the person who said it didn't care, but the person who listened was surprised. The name of Broken String is not famous in the world, but some people with a little head and face have heard of his name.
Legend has it that breaking the strings is invincible. If he hadn't ever interfered in political affairs, he would have been a hidden danger to the imperial court at this time.
"How did he come here?"
"I don't know," Wei Zhaohua frowned, and his eyes were a little dignified.
Seeing this, Li Xuan originally wanted to step forward to touch the broken string, but she didn't want Wei Zhaohua to suddenly fly over Ah Qing and Li Xuan, and retreated towards the back with a light effort.
The broken string sat upright, and the blades in his hands gathered into an arc and spread out.
Wei Zhaohua settled not far away, but fortunately, although the blade that broke the string was strong, Wei Zhaohua and Ah Qing and Li Xuan also dodged faster and were not injured. By the time he let go of the two people in his hand, the broken strings had already broken out of the window and disappeared.
"It's worthy of breaking the strings!"
Wei Zhaohua couldn't help but admire, Li Xuan wanted to go out to chase, but was stopped by Wei Zhaohua again.
"His martial arts are not under me, and I have no chance of winning a fight with him, what did you do in the past?"
"But, girl, if he hurts the innocent, won't he regret it then?" Li Xuan opened her mouth to defend herself, looking out nervously, but there was no trace of her.
"His purpose is not in Red Snow City, and the package on his body is not a lot for him, so he shouldn't make trouble in Red Snow City."
I don't know why, as soon as he said this, Wei Zhaohua felt panicked in his heart.
No one knows where the broken strings came from, but the sudden appearance here this time made Wei Zhaohua feel that something was wrong for no reason. If it's not in Syracuse, where else can you go if you break the strings? And what to do?
"Li Xuan, the book is sent to the capital, and you should be more vigilant in the capital. No matter what, Broken String categorically can't do anything in Dongqi! ”
"Yes!"
There is a string-breaking episode in a meal, but there is no appetite for eating. Only Aqing Lixuan and Uncle Gao were left to eat some simply, and Wei Zhaohua had already gone upstairs to rest.
When Li Xuan handed the letter into Wei Zhaohua's hands, Wei Zhaohua came to his senses.
After a brief glance, Wei Zhaohua put it on the lamp on the side, and watched a piece of letter paper quietly and silently turn into ashes.
"Things in southern Xinjiang are stable, and Ah Yu and Xuan Yue are doing very well. Hu Shi was originally in southern Xinjiang, so he didn't return to the imperial court to receive the decree, but waited here directly, and it was better to take office directly. In the near future, the Wei military division will return to the barracks, and my heart can be regarded as stable. ”
Li Xuan nodded, "The girl is most concerned about the affairs of southern Xinjiang, and now there is a lot of peace everywhere, which can be regarded as allowing the girl to relax for a few days." ”
Wei Zhaohua couldn't deny it, raised his eyes and looked outside, the rain outside was still dripping, and there was no light in the sky.
Maybe there will always be a period of darkness before we can usher in light, right?
Flying and walking in the rain, Wei Zhaohua was still dressed in white and had a hat. There was no umbrella, so it didn't rain much, although it wet the clothes, but it was not in the way.
Following the route in his memory, Wei Zhaohua quickly found the location of the City Lord's Mansion.
The same place, but now there are different people.
"The county lord is here?"
There was no sign of anyone else in the empty pavilion, and Hu Xi sat alone in it. The wine glass in his hand and the food in front of him looked extremely lonely.
"Lord Hu's new official has taken office, you and I are neighboring magistrates, I came to visit Lord Hu, except that I didn't go through the main gate, the other etiquette is extremely thorough."
Wei Zhaohua opened his mouth to speak, but saw Hu Shi on the side slowly raise his head and look at Wei Zhaohua with a bit of mockery in his eyes.
"The county lord is the leader of southern Xinjiang, commanding hundreds of thousands of horses, how can I, a small city lord, be compared with the county lord?"
"Master Hu was also born in the capital, and it is normal for people to take things like identity seriously. However, I once met a teenager with the same name as an adult, but he didn't care about his identity. ”
