Chapter 176: The Yellow Gate Meets the Old
It was dinner time, and more than a dozen square tables filled the hall were sitting. Although there were a lot of people in the hall, the guests who had eaten were all solemn, most of them lost their interest in talking and laughing, and only a few tables were whispering.
A pot of spirits, a large plate of coarse consumable beef, and two bowls of dry noodles. That's all the dishes that the Yellow Door Inn can come up with.
Li Tiantu glanced at Su Ling'er, who was haggard and abnormally beside him, and put a large piece of consumable beef into the little girl's bowl, and said in a low voice: "Ling'er, why do you want to go to this troubled water with me." ”
Su Ling'er flattened her mouth, slapped the Kunwu sword in her arms on the table, and said aggrievedly: "Childe, I've been with you for so long, you shouldn't have said this to Ling'er." ”
Li Tiantu sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, it's wrong to count the son." ”
Su Ling'er's little face turned from cloudy to sunny, and she was hungry at this time, so she picked up the chopsticks, and she didn't care about eating, so she just buried her head in eliminating the rough beef bibimbap in front of her, but it tasted comparable to the food of the Jingshi court.
Li Tiantu didn't persuade the little girl to drink, poured herself a glass of Northwest spirits, and didn't forget to tease Su Ling'er: "The little girl is not picky, she is easy to feed!" ”
After the last two groups of guests entered the store, the black-faced shopkeeper took out a small wooden sign with a red rope and hung it outside the door of the inn, and then ordered the shopkeeper to close the door.
In the chaos of war, everyone knows that the sooner the door is closed, the less right and wrong.
The inn that closed the door couldn't get a trace of cold air, and the temperature of the originally slightly cold hall instantly rose a lot.
When the last two groups of people occupied the last two square tables, the enclosed space and the rising temperature seemed to warm the hearts of the people here, and the originally quiet hall suddenly became noisy.
At the beginning of the lanterns, those who had no wine added wine, and those who had wine drank a few more glasses, and Li Tiantu finally heard the latest news about the war in Xiliang from the noise.
The 300,000 iron cavalry of Tubo besieged the city of Liangzhou without attacking, but cut off the water source, grain and grass in the city, and only relied on the few deep wells in the city of Liangzhou, and the city of Liangzhou collapsed without attacking in less than half a month.
In the first two days of the siege, Tubo also left two gaps, and ordinary people in Liangzhou City could enter and exit freely in addition to soldiers' armor.
In addition, within a radius of nearly 100 miles, the Tibetan walls were cleared, and the surrounding villages and peasants were driven out, except for a few bloody incidents due to the stubborn reluctance of the villagers to relocate, and there were no large-scale massacres.
Li Tiantu took a sip of wine, and he breathed a sigh of relief, Lingyou's strict management of the army did not disappoint him, although he was currently in a different position, he still agreed with this alien brother in his heart.
The Central Plains and Tubo have been grudging for a long time, although they have temporarily suspended the war for the past 30 years because of Princess Heshuo, but there are not a few small frictions in the border army, and it is not easy for Lingyou to do this.
Located against the wall in front of Li Tiantu on the left, three black-clothed men with knives with a unique aura caught his attention.
Is the breath unique, it is obviously three Tubo people wearing Hanfu, Li Tiantu sneered in his heart, although the Chinese language when they chatted was also standard, but the innate alien aura was extremely difficult to hide in front of him, a person who was extremely sensitive to breath.
Su Ling'er waved her tender little hand and shook it in front of Li Tiantu's eyes, and chuckled: "Childe, there are no big beauties over there, what's so good about three big men?" ”
Li Tiantu, who was interrupted from his contemplation, smiled dumbly and said: "The rough man in this sweet and cool land is really very different from our Central Plains, but I don't know what the cool beauty looks like. ”
Su Ling'er held her chin with her hand and muttered: "The wind and sand here are too windy and sandy, and the climate is dry, so there should be no beautiful women." ”
Li Tiantu unconsciously touched the famous sword "Tianshan Snow" wrapped around his waist, and said to himself: "With such a bad climate, it is extremely difficult to produce beautiful women, but once it comes out, it must be a posture of captivating the country and the city." ”
He paused slightly, and a peerless figure couldn't help but appear in front of him, and sighed: "Isn't half of the Tianshan Mountain a sweet and cool place?" ”
There was a knock on the door, and the black-faced shopkeeper frowned, and finally slowly stood up from the stove.
When the black-faced shopkeeper with an impatient face opened the door a crack and was about to say that the room was full of thanks, Li Tiantu noticed that the black-faced shopkeeper was staying in place and swallowed his saliva vigorously.
The door of the inn is diagonal to the corner where Li Tiantu sits, and there are only a few tables in the entire inn hall where you can see the scene outside the door through the cracks.
Although it was pitch black outside the door at this moment, he still saw the situation outside with his eyesight, and he got up suddenly, with a complex and rich expression on his face.
In Su Ling'er's opinion, it was a change of expression with surprise, guilt, sadness, etc., and she couldn't see who was coming from the door with her sight, but she suddenly wanted to know who else in the world could make her own son-in-law, who had always been pampered, have such a big reaction.
After a short period of distraction, the black-faced shopkeeper hurriedly opened the door, and the snow fairy who had just appeared in Li Tiantu's mind stood outside the door, and was also stunned.
But Li Tiantu sat down silently the moment the black-faced shopkeeper opened the door.
The black-faced shopkeeper rubbed his rough big hands, breathed a little heavily, and said, "Fairy, the shop is full..."
Before the black-faced shopkeeper finished speaking, the haggard Snow Fairy took out a silver ingot and put it on the counter, and Yi Xingshan said: "Shopkeeper, if the guest room is full, I only need a sheltered firewood and grass room." ”
The black-faced shopkeeper who originally intended to let the beauties in front of him stay in the grass room for free looked at the silver ingots that weighed ten or two, his eyes straightened, and he nodded again and again: "The grass house is there, it's in the backyard, and the small one will take you over." ”
The snow fairy was about to follow the black-faced shopkeeper to the backyard, but was stopped by the scar-faced man on the square table at the door.
The scar-faced man slammed the golden wire ring knife on his shoulder into the open space in front of him, glared at the black-faced shopkeeper, and shouted, "How can such a fairy live in a grass house?" ”
At the same time, this cowardly disciple turned to the snow fairy, and pretended to be gentle: "I, Li Sandao, the deputy leader of the Beiliang Walking Horse Gang, ask the fairy to move to the upper room booked by the villain." ”
It's just that Li Sandao's appearance doesn't match gentleness at all, and Li Sandao's expression is extremely weird, which makes the goosebumps of the people around him fall to the ground, and people's reactions are not the same, regret, regret, unbearable, nothing more.
Although many people have the heart of heroes to save beauty, no one dares to really step forward.
The Horse Gang is the largest gang in Liangzhou, as the name suggests, it sells horses for a living, and its business not only involves major gangs in the rivers and lakes, but also has many contacts with the army. More than half of the 30,000 military horses in the Liangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion were supplied by the horse gang.
Li Sandao, as the deputy leader of the Horse Walking Gang, has countless heads harvested by the Wind Knife Method in his hand, although he is not a first-class master, but he has the support of Si Yuqi, the leader of the Horse Walking Gang, and he is also a sideways character in the entire Ganliang Road.
