Chapter 55: A Chance Encounter in the Tavern

"This kind of daughter red can only be drunk with like-minded people." The owner of the palm stood beside her, bowed his head slightly to look at her, "Little brother has a good amount of wine." After speaking, without waiting for Ruoxi to invite him, he directly did it opposite her. Although Ruoxi drank a lot, his mind still clearly understood that the person who listened to the conversation was not the second child in the store, and he was embarrassed to return the wine jar to others, and said with a smile, "I'm really sorry, this kind of wine is very special here." ”

"I can't imagine that brother, you are very interested in wine at a young age." The man rarely praised this young man who met for the first time. Ruoxi scratched her head and raised her head to look at him, this look, she realized that the man who came to talk to him had a good face, which was different from Wei Sa's evil charm, and also different from Li Shi's bright and handsome face, this man's body was flowing with a dangerous aura that Ruoxi had never seen before, and her intuition told Ruoxi that this man was in danger of death.

A little dislike of the oppression he brought, Ruoxi moved his ass back slightly, thinking about his rude behavior just now, rubbed his nose, and pushed the few remaining pear blossoms on the table in front of him, "Brother Tai, please." The man picked up the flask, shook it, and the clatter in it sounded like it was only half a jug, smiled, put it aside, and patted the mud seal on his wine jar, "Drink this." ”

Ruoxi had already been stirring around with wine insects, and he was not polite, so he directly took the wine glass he had poured, took a big sip, and let out a long breath, "Ah, it's really good." ”

The man seemed to be particularly smiling, and he drank all the wine in his glass.

Ruoxi peeked at him, the man's clothes were neat, and the neckline and cuffs had smooth lines, showing that he had a good upbringing. There are calluses on the tiger's mouth on both hands, which should be the traces left by the perennial use of some kind of weapon, looking at his agile figure and gestures, he is obviously a martial arts person. Ruoxi looked down and thought, she didn't know why such a person in the martial arts suddenly had a great interest in her.

"I'm just looking for a wine partner." The man said without raising his head.

Ruoxi was shocked, and secretly said that this man has a keen insight, and he didn't say a word, but he was actually seen through by the other party, and he couldn't help but be embarrassed.

The man was very calm, poured her full wine, and introduced himself, "The wind is roaring." Ruoxi was stunned, she didn't know anyone with such a strange surname.

"White Creek." Ruoxi simply abbreviated his name, generously showed his snow-white teeth, and smiled at him very friendly.

"Hey, hey, have you heard, today's top singer of Wanhualou was invited here to sing a tune, we are very blessed." The guests at the adjacent table began to talk. Ruoxi happened to listen to it with a full ear.

"Hehe," the man he was talking to began to laugh as if he had a malicious sneer, "why are you here tonight?" It's just that the Oiran lady is coming today, you see, no, the guests in this tavern haven't moved yet, aren't they all waiting to see the beauty? ”

"Guest, the dish you wanted." Xiao Er brought the dish that the man had just ordered and put it on the table between the two.

"Oh, but I haven't seen it, this Oiran girl is famous, and people who come here are naturally indispensable."

"I heard that she is not only good-looking, but also good at kung fu, not only playing the pipa with one hand is ecstatic, in fact, her best is even more ecstatic."

The next conversation began to be clear, Ruoxi heard it red at the root of his ears, these two people were probably the nature of men, and began to say something that could not be elegant.

Ruoxi raised his eyes, and the man's eyebrows and eyes, which were still warm just now, instantly burst out with a cold glow, which made people shudder, and just wanted to say something, he heard the two people who were talking happily just now.

"Why are these peanuts so hard?"

"Oh no, Fourth Brother Huang, you're bleeding from your mouth."

The man still didn't believe it, so he spat on the ground, and actually lost two teeth. The two of them were busy, and the people around them started laughing, and the others naturally heard what they had just said, probably laughing at them for saying bad things about other Oiran girls behind their backs, and it would be bad retribution immediately.

Only Ruoxi clearly saw that the man sitting opposite him picked up a little thing on the plate with chopsticks and shook it lightly. And what is still sticking to his chopsticks is the lining of the steamed pigeon, the fragrant glutinous rice grains.

Relying on this non-lethal, steamed soft and glutinous rice grain alone to knock out the opponent's front teeth is enough to make people jaw-dropping.

At this time, Ruoxi still felt that it was better for him to pretend that he didn't see anything, so he obediently ate the sauced beef on his plate.

"Look, look, the Oiran lady is out!" With the shouts of the sharp-eyed people, everyone's attention was shifted to the woman who walked slowly out of the second floor, she was wearing an emerald green water-sleeved long dress, wearing it all over her body, and making a clanging sound with her steps, which was very crisp and pleasant. In the expectant eyes of everyone, she sat behind the curtain on the second floor, and the beaded curtains were strung together, covering the appearance of the beauty, which couldn't help but make the people present a little disappointed.

After the beauty sat down, she didn't speak, and directly played the guzheng on the case, the sound of "ding ding" was very elegant, Ruoxi listened to it for a while, and felt that the deep feelings that had been hidden in her heart were slowly hooked up, and came to her eyes. When I looked up and drank a glass, I felt that the taste of the wine had become lighter, and even had a faint bitter taste.

The man seemed to listen more attentively, and suddenly, the sound of the piano paused, and the rhythm was staggered, "Chang'an is a moon, the sound of thousands of households pounding clothes, the autumn wind blows endlessly, and it is always a jade relationship." He Riping Hulu, the beloved man went on an expedition? "At the end of the song, the song was sung again, "The Ming Dynasty made a haircut, a night of conscription robes, and the needles were cold with no hands, so could it be scissors?" The tailor sent it to Lintao, how many days will it take to arrive? ”

Ruoxi recited those two sentences several times, and suddenly felt that the sadness in her heart was even more pervasive, and she couldn't help but drink another glass. She was about to drink the third cup when she was held down by the hand.

Looking up at him in astonishment, the anger on Feng Ming's face just now was gone, and all that was left was gentleness, "I drank too quickly." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ruoxi felt as if her lungs were about to burn. I couldn't help but cough violently a few times. Her cough seemed to affect everyone's aftertaste in contemplation, and pulled everyone's fugue back to their thoughts, and the people who came back to their senses began to cheer in unison, and some good deeds threw a lot of silver on the partition on the second floor.

Thinking that he should thank the next family for their kindness, Ruoxi was about to say thanks, when he saw Feng Ming stunned at the curtain, and his heart flew with a big white eye, it turned out that the love and honey in his eyes just now were directed at the beauty on the second floor, not at himself who was also a "man".

Ah, it's okay, Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, otherwise, judging from Feng Ming's actions just now, she almost thought that this person was a broken sleeve who preferred male style.

After singing these two songs, the Oiran lady hurried away, leaving a group of people sighing.

Next, the tavern resumed the lively scene just now, and everyone drew the wine order, drank red-faced, and lived this winter night vividly.

"The autumn wind blows inexhaustibly, and it is always a jade relationship. He Riping Hulu, the beloved man went on an expedition? Someone read the lyrics of the singer again, mixed with a sigh, "Even the little singer knows the pain of war, and it seems that there must be a battle in this world." ”

"Yes, now on this land, divided into three points, Yuanguo, Daqi Kingdom, and Xiliang everywhere, it seems that no one is in the way, but in fact, there are still a lot of things to do with these three parties. It's just that once the war starts, these people will suffer. ”

The other man nodded in agreement, his brow dark. "Yes, it looks like there's going to be a battle here."

Ruoxi didn't seem to be locals when he heard the accents of those people, and looking at the three men who were talking well, he should have come from other places to listen to Oiran singing. She didn't think much of it, but the men noticed that someone was looking at them, and turned around to see the young man at the next table saluting them with a wine glass.

Feng Ming whispered, "These people have come from an extraordinary way. ”

Ruoxi nodded and replied casually, "Yes, they are all rich people." ”

Feng Ming glanced at her, but didn't make a sound.

"But what they said is very right, when there is a war, it is the people who suffer the most, we are still fine in the capital here, but those people at the border are about to suffer." Ruoxi picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it with a sip of wine, which had a very good aftertaste. "Hey, it's useless for us to worry about this kind of thing, in short, I see, Da Qi Guo may not want to go to war with Yuanguo and Xiliang, you see, isn't this about to make peace."

A strange look flashed in Feng Ming's eyes, "Xiliang's harmony, is it credible?" ”

Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, and the bitter smile and the slightly cold wine in her stomach stirred up a sour feeling, "But it's not credible, it's just a move that must be taken." ”

The people at the next table couldn't help but look at the young man with an astonishing exit, the man with deep eyebrows and eyes looked at Ruoxi with a scrutinizing gaze, and turned his head to continue communicating with the people around him.

Ruoxi didn't care, she was thinking about another thing in her heart, just now, she suddenly figured out the bones that she had always been in her heart, the reason why she wanted to complete the marriage of Wei Sa and Xianyue was not simply for herself, but more, she was thinking about the people who were far away at the border. Those people were once her people.

At least...... They cannot be allowed to taste the pain of the ruin of their country for the second time. Isn't this what she, the princess of the dead country, should do? Gently raised the porcelain cup in front of him, and silently said in his heart, Father, this is the way I should go, right?

The wine was sorrowful, and she felt even more boiling and burning, Ruoxi endured the discomfort in her stomach, and the light of identification flashed in her eyes, the road she should take in front of her - a road of revenge full of thorns.
