Volume 1 The Beginning of the Glory Chapter 81 Mandarin Duck Restaurant
Zhong Zhengnan didn't really care much about the turmoil at the beginning, and he really couldn't do it. So after entering Xiangfan City, he didn't think about going over to find someone to settle accounts after the autumn.
After coming to Xiangfan City, Zhong Zhengnan also heard some bits and pieces about the people who had conflicts with his own side. It is said that the three women are highly valued in this exorcism conference and are specifically responsible for finding out the news. Needless to say, the Huang family himself had seen the worship of Huo Gang in the Jiang family, and as for that Huang Jin, it seemed that he was doing things in the "study". Only these five men, there is little news, only listen to the little girl say that these five people are very unpopular, they have eaten a lot of closed-door soup, and finally have to be attached to the Medicine King Sect.
Zhong Zhengnan came to the door, didn't make any moves, just asked lightly, "What are you doing?" ”
Mo Ren, the leader of the five men, opened his mouth and said, "Entrusted by Lord Tian Yan, I will send something to Master Zhong!" ”
Since the other party has no malicious intent, Zhong Zhengnan is not good for people to stand at the door all the time, it just so happens that he intends to understand what the situation is on the side of Huzui Peak, so he invited five people into the shop, and then said: "Meeting is fate, last time a few people were in a hurry, I didn't have time to get to know each other, fortunately, it's not too late at this time, my name is Zhong Zhengnan, I'm very happy to meet a few heroes!" ”
Hearing this, the five brothers whose butts were glued to the seats got up instantly, and Mo Ren even hugged his fists at Zhong Zhengnan and apologized: "Last time, it was my brother who didn't know Mount Tai with eyes, and Master Zhong didn't care about it a lot, so we should be happy and glad!" ”
Xue Yu obviously didn't buy these people's accounts, but the head was talking to people, and she couldn't interject if she was not good, so she walked to the counter and sat down, and she rolled her eyes when the five brothers said a word.
After the pleasantries, it's time to get down to business.
Zhong Zhengnan looked at the five brothers in the name of "benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith", and asked with a smile: "I don't know what my senior sister entrusted you to send?" ”
When Mo Ren heard this, he hurriedly took out the quaint ring, put it on the table, and said at the same time: "This is it!" By the way, Lord Tian Yan also said that let Master Zhong send this ring to the headquarters of the Yanjing Super Management Bureau! ”
Zhong Zhengnan picked up the ring, looked at it carefully, and couldn't see the reason, so he had no choice but to ask Zhong Kui for help, but Zhong Kui said that it was just a storage ring, and he didn't know what was inside.
Although he is curious about what is in the ring, Zhong Zhengnan is not good at opening it without permission to find out, after all, it is not his own thing, not to mention, Zhong Kui said that most storage treasures have the ability to self-destruct, if they are opened without authorization, it is likely to make the ring become an ordinary ornament worth a few dollars on the street.
You can't do that!
Then, Zhong Zhengnan turned his wrist and put the ring into his storage key, then looked at Xue Yu and ordered: "Go and help the old shopkeeper make some tea!" After speaking, he looked at a few slightly restrained men in front of him and said, "There are a few people who are busy!" ”
Sure enough, the helmsman of the gate sect is magnificent, seeing that the young head of the sect opened his mouth to be grateful, the five brothers of the Mo family all had an indescribable sense of pride in their hearts, and then got up and said in unison: "Master Zhong is serious!" ”
Zhong Zhengnan beckoned a few people to sit down again, and then said directly: "Since you have just come back from there and want to know something about the situation over there, can you tell me about it?" ”
Saying this to the head of the Fu Sect is not a violation of the rules, and Mo Ren has no psychological burden when he talks about it, so he told the battle in 1510, without adding fuel and vinegar, and without concealing it.
After Zhong Zhengnan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that those immortal figures were still cautious enough to rush to the enemy camp in one go.
As soon as the tea of Snow Tongue arrived, several people did not dare to refute the face of Fu Men, and only after drinking it did they get up and say goodbye, saying that they still had important business to do, and they could not delay, and they had to rush back as soon as possible.
After sending off the five brothers of the Mo family, Zhong Zhengnan soon ushered in the second wave of visitors, two men and two women, among which there were two familiar faces, Jiang Shan of the Jiang family and Huang Jin of the Huang family, the former is considered a good friend, and the latter, looking at the eyes, it seems that he Zhong Zhengnan is a mortal enemy.
Zhong Zhengnan is very strange, it stands to reason that these people who are responsible for analyzing the battle situation and intelligence should be on the side of Huzui Peak at this time, how could they run to their door.
Anyway, after a simple greeting, Zhong Zhengnan invited a few people back to the shop with a pleasant face, and instructed the little girl to make tea and pour water again.
After taking a seat, Jiang Shan immediately opened her mouth to explain her intentions. It turned out that the "study" responsible for analyzing the intelligence did not all follow the large army into the mountain, and left a part of it, which was responsible for coordinating and arranging some sect forces that continued to come to help, and the remaining people in the "study" were still in charge of Zhong Zhengnan, and today Jiang Shan and others came to report the battle situation they had just received.
After Zhong Zhengnan heard this, his face was a little embarrassed, he should have gone to the study to discuss this matter with everyone, and now he should let people come to the door, not very well! Fortunately, there is still a reason for injury, so that people will not say that they are putting on a score! Fortunately, I met the five brothers of the Mo family first and learned about the situation over there, so I finally proved that I was not unconcerned about the battle of Huzui Peak!
Therefore, before a few people could speak, Zhong Zhengnan preemptively said: "I know a little bit about the battle situation over there, since the Demon God Temple is still willing to test and our side has not officially launched an offensive, it means that the real decisive battle is not so fast, so you will make a rough count of the sect forces that will come to the aid in the future, and when necessary, you can use it as a surprise soldier to enter Huzui Peak!" ”
Jiang Shan introduced earlier that the four people who visited Li Ji Yifang today, in addition to herself and Huang Jin, there were also Tang Xinyan, a female cultivator of the Sword Pavilion, and Liu Ting of the Liu family. After Zhong Zhengnan finished speaking, the woman Jian Xiu raised her eyebrows, obviously she didn't expect that this young head who didn't listen to the things outside the window actually knew something about the battle of Huzui Peak, so she said: "In the past, it was the little woman who misunderstood the head of Zhong, but when the head of Zhong was a person who came to Xiangfan to mix his reputation, I was wrong when I saw it today, and I made a compensatory note to the head of Zhong here!" ”
Jiang Shan smiled slightly, Huang Jin still had a straight face, but Liu Ting, the young man of the Liu family who didn't speak much, hurriedly hugged Zhong Zhengnan after Tang Xinyan finished speaking, and echoed: "I should also say sorry to Master Zhong, I have also discussed those rumors!" ”
Zhong Zhengnan glanced at Tang Xinyan, sure enough, it was a sword cultivator, and he spoke straightforwardly. However, Zhong Zhengnan likes this way of communication very much, what is said, and there is no need to bother to guess the "meaning of others", which is very convenient!
"The two of you are serious, I just have an identity to scare people, and I really don't have much ability, but I'm here to mix up my reputation!"
Zhong Zhengnan couldn't accept the apology of the two of them, and maybe he would have to go to Yanjing next, and he might not be able to participate in these things, so he made a suggestion to the four people in front of him and said: "Everyone, I have a suggestion, no matter what the few people discuss, as long as the four of you agree on it, you can settle it, and you don't need to find me again." I won't hide it from you, I still have some hidden dangers in this injury, I have to deal with it, and I may not be able to participate in everyone's deliberations at any time! ”
As soon as Zhong Zhengnan's words came out, Jiang Shan, the four of them were all stunned, and after a while, it was Huang Jin who opened his mouth first, yin and yang, "If the four of us make a decision, in the eyes of the head of Zhong, will it be sent out in the name of the four of us or in the name of the head of Zhong?" ”
Zhong Zhengnan squinted slightly, didn't he just beat you up? Such a grudge?
However, the question asked by this kid did get to the point, and after careful consideration, Zhong Zhengnan said: "Since I am still in charge, then in my name!" ”
Seeing this, Tang Xinyan smiled slightly, and appreciated this Fu Sect Master a little more in his heart, and said: "We came today to talk to Master Zhong about the battle situation, and since Master Zhong already knows, we won't say more." As for what Master Zhong said before, I personally agree with the statistics of the various forces that will be aided, and I believe that Senior Sister Jiang and the two junior brothers Liu and Huang have no objections, so after we go back, we will make a good record, and with the results, someone will send them here! ”
Jiang Shan glanced at Tang Xinyan, then looked at Zhong Zhengnan and said, "I really have no objection!" ”
After the two women expressed their attitudes, Huang Jin and Liu Ting also nodded.
After the matter was done, Huang Jin, who was full of hostility towards Zhong Zhengnan, quickly got up, said a simple goodbye, and turned to leave, giving people the feeling that if he Huang Jin stayed in front of Zhong Zhengnan for a while, he would lose his life for a year.
Some people left, and the other three people naturally didn't want to stay longer, so they all got up and said goodbye and left.
Zhong Zhengnan, who finally calmed down, stretched his waist and chatted from early morning to noon, exhausted and hungry.
Zhong Zhengnan, who had just turned around and was about to go to the kitchen, stopped very helplessly because there was a knock on the door.
Looking back, Zhong Zhengnan was stunned for a moment, it was Jiang Shan who had gone and returned.
Jiang Shan smiled slightly, looked at Zhong Zhengnan, and said, "Please have a meal, is it okay?" ”
In a remote alley in Xiangfan City, Zhong Zhengnan and Jiang Shan stopped in front of a small shop called "Mandarin Duck Restaurant". Jiang Shan looked at Zhong Zhengnan, who had been entangled for a long time before agreeing to his invitation, and said, "This is a small shop that the monks of Xiangfan City know, it has existed for a long time, even longer than Xiangfan City!" And I heard that the old cook of this small shop is back, and his dishes, even my ancestors, may not be able to eat, since the Demon God Temple came, few people have come here, let's try our luck today! ”
This so-called old cook is probably a reclusive master, this is Zhong Zhengnan's first feeling after listening to Jiang Shan's description, people who dare to pose with the ancestors of the Jiang family will not be simple.
Walking into the shop, there were no customers, just a young man napping and an old man smoking a dry tobacco with a white apron around his waist. The movement of Zhong Zhengnan and the two entering the door woke up the guy. Seeing that a guest had arrived, the young man hurriedly stepped forward to help wipe Zhuo Zhuo's chair, and then ran to the old man's side and shouted, "The guest is here!" ”
The old man with an enjoyment on his face slowly opened his eyes, glared at the young man, and said, "I'm not in the mood today, you can do it yourself!" ”
The young man shrugged helplessly, told the two guests to wait, and walked to the back kitchen.
"Wait!"
The old man who glanced at Zhong Zhengnan suddenly stopped the young man, and then slowly slammed the cigarette pot on the leg of the chair under his buttocks, and then said, "I'll do it anyway!" ”
The old man got up, walked to Zhong Zhengnan's side, reached out and pinched Zhong Zhengnan's chin, and said with a smile: "Good boy, it's a blessing that the palace can have such an apprentice!" After speaking, the old man looked at the young man and said with disgust: "It's not like me, only such an unfinished waste wood, people are more angry than people!" ”
The young man was probably used to the old man not looking down on him, so he just tilted his head and smiled. But Zhong Zhengnan's heart was shocked, it was really not simple, it seemed that this old man seemed to know his uncle's ancestral palace.
The old man's interest in Zhong Zhengnan, Jiang Shan was also surprised, but it was only Zhong Zhengnan's luck, and he could even take himself with him, so it was really a good decision to invite the head of the Fu Sect to dinner.
