Chapter 2: The Vanishing Tavern
Regarding the appearance of these ruffians, Qiao Mu did not think so. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There were still no customers in the morning, but there were a few calls to sell alcohol, and I don't know how these guys could be so well-informed. He threw more than a dozen resumes online.
In the afternoon, he continued to fiddle with his mobile phone, figuring out how to improve his business, and even posted some posts on the Internet, got some replies, and some good suggestions, but he didn't have the capital.
As night fell, Qiao Mu turned on the light and fell asleep leaning on his chair. When he woke up, I don't know how long it had been, it was already completely dark outside, there was not even a little moonlight, and the ink-splashed night was a little frightening.
Qiao Mu glanced at his phone, which said "23:59". He cursed secretly, and he unknowingly slept until midnight. Thanks to the fact that the security of this place is acceptable, there are no homeless people who have gone out of their way to run in and rob. He stretched and got up to close the door.
Just as he walked to the door, he suddenly noticed a thick fog floating from the door. The fog was white, surging out, blocking the view for a moment, which was very weird.
"It was fine just now, why did it suddenly fog up." Qiao Mu felt a creep.
He quickly raised his hand to clasp the door, and before he could exert himself, he suddenly saw a man step out of the fog and almost hit him. When he saw the man's outfit, Qiao Mu's face turned white all of a sudden.
……
Four sneaky figures arrived in front of the tavern with a snakeskin bag. These four people are the ruffians led by Cheng Feihong, and the other three are called Yu Gang, Li Pengyu and Wang Liu.
They had arrived an hour before, and they didn't dare to make a move when they saw that the tavern door was always open and the lights were on.
The cold air of the night made Yu Gang, who was wearing a down jacket, still shiver, he spat and said in a low voice: "Brother Cheng, why don't we do it, that kid doesn't know when to close the door." ”
The short and thin Wang Liu shrunk his neck and said angrily: "Gangzi, no matter what line of work you do, you can't be impatient, we call the enemy bright and I dark, if you are seen, won't your previous efforts be wasted." ”
Li Pengyu smiled: "This is waiting for the rabbit." ”
"No, it's a sound that strikes the west." Yu Gang said.
"This is an example of killing chickens and monkeys!" Wang Liu retorted.
Several people were yelling, and Cheng Feihong scolded: "Shut up for me, he's going to close the door!" ”
The three of them quickly silenced, and through the bright light, they saw the arbor staggering towards the door, and then ......
"Day, what's the fog?"
"Brother Cheng, Xiaoliu, where are you, I can't see it?"
"I'm here, I'm going to have a straw, snakeskin bag?"
"Ah, the snake!"
……
Qiao Mu didn't hear the screams outside the door, the thick fog cut everything off, and the sudden appearance of the man in front of him almost scared him stupid.
This person is more than two meters tall, with a long beard on the face of jujubes, and a pair of Danfeng eyes with a cold glow. He was dressed in an extremely strange way, wearing a blue robe, a green scarf, and a long-handled knife in his hand. The blade head is broad and long, and the cold light flashes. As soon as I first took a look, it made the arbor fall into an ice cave.
"Heh, I didn't expect there to be this tavern in the mountains." The man spoke, and his voice was as muffled as thunder, which made Qiao Musheng stop screaming.
He let out a long breath, thinking that this person should be an actor, but it was really scary to run out in the middle of the night. He instinctively wanted to refuse, but suddenly heard the man say in amazement: "What is this, why is it shining, is there a candle in it?" ”
Qiao Mu followed his gaze, and suddenly his body trembled, and his face turned pale. He stiffly looked at the electronic clock on the wall, and the content displayed on it had become such a line of words: "Three Kingdoms, 12 years of Jian'an", and nothing else.
While Qiao Mu was in a daze, the man was already pacing back and forth in the tavern, and every time he saw something, he would marvel for a long time. Whether it's the shabby-looking lamps, or the paintings on the walls, or the glass windows and mirrors, or even a magazine with a shabby cover, he makes an exaggerated voice.
"Could it be that Yu has entered the immortal's liquor shop?" The man muttered to himself, looked at Qiao Mu, his face was complicated, there was surprise, worship, and fear.
Qiao Mu barely came back to his senses, he looked back at the foggy doorway, and then looked at the red-faced man, and a terrible guess flashed in his mind.
"Uncle kept repeating what great discovery he was crazy about, and everyone thought he was crazy, but it wasn't that he was crazy, but ...... This tavern connects the Three Kingdoms period? ”
The man let out a long breath, suddenly saluted respectfully towards Qiao Mu, and asked, "Dare to ask if the shop is an immortal?" ”
Qiao Mu's face became extremely strange, he had watched a lot of cross-TV series and novels, and he was still a senior VIP of the starting point Chinese network, and his brain was open for a while and he adapted to this environment.
The ancients were not easy to fool, so he did not respond rashly, but forced himself to calm down: "There is only ordinary liquor here, how much do you want?" ”
His strange dress and this high-ranking appearance made the man's expression change, and he said, "Let's have two taels of wine first, and beef ......."
"Only wine." Qiao Mu replied.
"Then it's just the bar." The red-faced man replied.
Ignoring the red-faced man's stunned eyes, he turned to the barrel, took a large pot of inferior liquor, took a small porcelain cup, and brought it to the man.
Qiao Mu pretended to be calm and walked to the bar, he turned on his phone and found a signal space. After hesitating, he slowly reached the door and tried to get out, but was blocked by an invisible force, like an invisible membrane, which prevented him from stepping out of the tavern for half a step.
Turning around, he saw that the red-faced man was drinking drunk, as if he was tasting the golden wind and jade dew. Qiao Mu secretly disdained, and at the same time confirmed his guess. If someone deliberately straightens himself up, it is impossible not to even open the door and get out of it. His mind became active for a while, and he wanted to talk to the red-faced man, but after seeing the other party's cold long knife, he instinctively became afraid.
Like him, the red-faced man has the same mentality. Although he was called the enemy of all people, he did not change his face even in front of the emperor. But in the face of all this unknown, coupled with the cold appearance of Qiao Mu, he was worried. Even if he was drunk in the wine and his head remained sober, he did not dare to speak rashly.
Half an hour later, a pot of wine was drunk by the red-faced man. His face was even redder, and his breath was strong with the smell of wine. At this time, he remembered that he hadn't asked about the price before drinking. If it was an ordinary wine shop, he would drink it, and he could just give him some silver and two feet, but this is not the mortal world.
"I bothered to ask the Xian family, how to calculate the money for this kind of wine?" The red-faced man asked cautiously.
Qiao Mu pretended to raise his eyelids incomprehensibly and said, "Feel free." ”
The red-faced man was stunned and took out a fist-sized gold ingot from his arms.
Qiao Mu's eyes lit up suddenly, but the red-faced man quickly put it away again and muttered, "This kind of vulgar thing must not be able to enter the eyes of immortals." ”
Qiao Mu almost cried urgently: That's Huang Zhanzhan's gold, I want it, I want it very much. He stared at the other party, hoping to leave something more valuable.
Then, he saw the man untie a palm-sized jade pendant from his waist, which was like mutton fat and trimmed with gold. Just as his breathing was getting shorter, the red-faced man put it away again: "What's the difference between this and the gold?" ”
A few seconds later, the red-faced man took a deep breath, took out a red cloth bag from his arms, put it respectfully on the table, looked back at Qiao Mu, and saw Qiao Mu fiddling with a unique and shining "fairy magic weapon", only then did he bow down, quickly go out with a knife, and disappeared in a flash into the fog.
After he left, Qiao Mu hurriedly threw away his mobile phone, threw away his reserve, and opened the red cloth bag. When he saw what was inside, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
It was a tortoise-shaped seal, square, more than two centimeters wide and high, and above it was a turtle with its head held high. Unfortunately for the arbor, the material is copper. When he saw the handwriting on the seal, he was slightly stunned.
Although the words "partial general" are seals, they are easy to distinguish, doesn't this mean...... The guy who gave his stuff is a partial general?
Wait a minute.
A flash of light suddenly flashed in Qiao Mu's mind, and he remembered the face of that guy, with jujube-faced phoenix eyes...... The iconic long-handled knife, and his self-proclaimed "feather...... Could it be that he is Guan Yu?
