Chapter Seventy-Four, The First Night in Kyoto

"Why am I leaving?"

"Aren't you afraid of the Dawn of the Night?"

"I haven't broken the law, so why should I be afraid of the night division? Besides, I haven't paid for the wine yet, so it's not appropriate to leave like this."

Xu Zi'an is telling the truth, although he has a lot of silver taels on his body, but they are all broken silver, he can't leave a whole piece of silver in a hurry like other drinkers, anyway, the silver ingot is definitely enough to pay for this meal, is it possible that he can also throw all the broken silver in his arms on the table with a snap? This is all his belongings, with these feelings, he can also have the whole world, without it, he is really a poor person abandoned by the world.

As for taking advantage of the chaos to escape the account, Xu Zi'an really didn't think about it, what does it mean to pay back the money owed, pay for the life of the murderer, and not give the money for the wine after drinking?

The drunken brother stared at Xu Zi'an for a moment with confused eyes, and saw that Xu Zi'an's eyebrows were clean and sincere, not as if he was lying, and he was not the person he was looking for, a trace of loss flashed on his handsome face, but there was no drunkenness, he pursed his very thin lips casually, and the son-in-law looked at Xu Zi'an and smiled.

"It turned out to be just an ignorant chick"

The word chick has nothing to do with praise, and it is often used to ridicule and promote the ignorant young man who has not been in the world in the romantic place, Xu Zi'an was a little depressed after hearing it, thinking that I am indeed from the countryside, and I really don't know much about some things, but how can there be a person like you who laugh at people when we meet for the first time? Thinking of this, Xu Zi'an frowned a pair of delicate eyebrows and replied

"You don't look like a seasoned connoisseur either"

"Connoisseur........." Brother Gongzi repeated, and suddenly sneered, "It seems that you have seen something"

"I didn't see it before, but now it's obvious" Xu Zi'an put down the wine cup, looked at the other party's sober peach blossom eyes, and continued.

"You're not drunk, you pretended to be drunk and talked nonsense, but the topic always revolves around the officials and ministers of the court, and even deliberately talks about the nobles in the palace, if you are really drunk and talking nonsense, but at this time you are very sober, it can only mean that the previous words were deliberately said by you......"

"If I'm not mistaken, you deliberately said these words to deliberately lead out the people of the Qingye Division, but you don't seem to know much about the Qingye Division, and you don't know how much you should provoke to really bring out the people of the Qingye Division, so it wasn't until the end that you had to deliberately mention the case in white clothes."

Bai Hang's eyebrows lit up a little, and he seemed to agree with what Xu Zi'an said.

"But Qingye Division is not a happy place to sell gold and eat bones, where is the gloomy place of peeling bones and flesh, you deliberately lure the other party out like this, and even risk yourself as bait, there must be some purpose, but it seems ......... You don't seem to be doing what you wanted."

This analysis is very calm, very close to the facts, Yizhu's lazy boy brother stood up straight, a little surprised that this seemingly naïve young man has such a sophisticated gaze, he smiled, he said with a touch of appreciation, "It seems that I lost my eyes, it turned out to be an experienced chick."

It was obviously a compliment, but this tone was more like a joke, and Xu Zi'an had to shut up and stop talking.

The atmosphere is quiet, the piano woman has left, although the lights in the empty lobby are flickering brightly, and the exquisite furnishings are also precious, but without the melodious sound of the piano and the scene of the drinkers and the joyful scene, it inevitably looks lonely and clear.

"My name is Bai Hang, and I don't allow beauties to see the white-headed white"

The brocade boy put away the appreciation in his eyes, regained his drunkenness and laziness again, half-leaned on the back of the chair, drank the wine in his hand, and stretched out another glass of wine and handed it to Xu Zi'an.

Xu Zi'an hesitated for a moment, but still took the glass of wine and said

"Xu Zi'an, Xu who comes with the breeze, who is at peace with his heart"

"It's a good breeze and I feel at ease, it seems that you should have a book," Bai Hang said with a sudden smile.

Xu Zi'an was stunned, inexplicably nervous, thinking that he just added some elegant wording when he saw you like this, how do you know that I really have a book, and it is an old book?

Bai Hang is obsessed with drinking and music, and he won't see anything, he said that this sentence is only because there is a very famous calligraphy in the capital called Qingfeng Calligraphy, and the calligraphy is in Nanxi Academy, and the two of them have renamed, so Bai Hang will joke like this.

It's an interesting misunderstanding, but it's a harmless one.

"It should be a knife in this, it looks quite sharp" Bai Hang's gaze drifted over the sealing knife wrapped in black cloth, his eyes flickered, and Xu Zi'an pulled the sealing knife on the table back when he heard this.

Seeing Xu Zi'an's cautious movements, Bai Hang didn't continue to talk about these, looked at the empty wine cup in his hand, reached out and picked up the small wine pot on Xu Zi'an's table, and raised his head directly to drink the pot without pouring the cup, but as soon as the sake in the pot was in his mouth, Bai Hang stood up with his eyebrows condensed, threw the wine pot into the air, and the copper kettle fell to the ground and made a loud rolling sound.

Taking a hard sip, Bai Hang pointed to the sake scattered on the ground and shouted

"This faded bird thing is also wine?"

Xu Zi'an was overwhelmed with alcohol, he wanted the lightest sake, which pot of his Bai Hang just drank, Bai Hang, who was used to burning spirits, didn't like this taste of light water, and couldn't help but be annoyed when he entered his mouth.

Xu Zi'an looked at the other party's annoyed appearance, and did not hide the smile on his face, and said proudly in answering the first question or the second question.

"That's nature"

Bai Hang casually picked up a pot on the other table, put it under his nose and sniffed it before drinking it, sipping the last drop from the pot, he suddenly glanced at the night outside the door

"You guessed it right, I'm really waiting for someone from the Clearing Night Division to come and arrest me, because I'm looking for someone, but I don't really know what that person looks like or where he is, but I know that if he remembers his name, then he'll have to get me out of the Clearing Night Division."

"I can rescue you from the hands of the Qing Ye Division, it seems that the person you are looking for must be extremely powerful" Xu Zi'an watched the other party drink like a whale.

"He, he doesn't have much power, he can only be regarded as a businessman at most," Bai Hang waved his hand and sneered.

"Businessman?" Xu Zi'an also poured himself a glass, "In this case, you are his business?"

Bai Hang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, I don't know if he was laughing at himself or waking up drunk.

"Yes, I am his business, and businessmen can only talk about business, where can I talk about feelings?"

Xu Zi'an heard the helplessness in these words, and didn't know how to comfort the other party, so he could only take the wine jug back from the other party's hand, looked at the empty lobby and persuaded, "Don't drink it, your goal has been achieved, and there is no need to drink it again."

After drinking a few pots in a row, Bai Hang may have been really drunk, leaning down and half-paralyzed on the table, a pair of peach blossom eyes looked extremely blurry under the influence of wine, looking at the night outside the door and Xu Zi'an in front of him, Bai Hang waved his hand, and the tip of his tongue was a little knotted.

"Let's go, it's not early, and the money for this meal will be treated as if I invited it."

Seeing that the other party was already so drunk, Xu Zi'an thought for a moment or took out some broken silver from his arms and put it on the table, he couldn't really let the other party pay the bill when they met for the first time, looked up at the empty space in the hall, hesitated for a moment, the young man got up and stood up, he didn't leave because he didn't understand the specific reason, but now he knows it, so he doesn't need to get into any trouble for this, everyone is just a meeting in Pingshui, he still has a lot of things to do, and the matter of going to the test is enough for him to worry, and he really doesn't have the energy and time to take care of other people's affairs.

Just as he was about to put away the sealing knife and the little yellow umbrella and leave, a pair of hands pressed the little yellow umbrella faster, Xu Zi'an pumped hard but didn't pull it out, looked up in annoyance, and saw a pair of eyes that were brighter than peach blossoms looking at him with a smile, and those eyes were jumping cheaply.

"Hey, you haven't left yet, since you are reluctant to leave, why don't you leave it to a friend?"

...............

Many years later, when Xu Zi'an's experience became a well-known story, the experience of the inn was compiled into countless episodes, some people said that it was because Xu Zi'an still held the original intention of a mountain boy that he was unwilling to give up his new friends, every time he heard this statement, Xu Zi'an felt embarrassed in his heart, thinking that I didn't want to go at that time, but it was really the one who grabbed my umbrella and didn't let me go............

There was a noisy sound outside the inn, Xu Zi'an looked out of the half-hidden door, only to see several men dressed in black with weapons coming in the night, the breath of those men was almost silent, the black clothes were as thick as thick ink, and a cold chill arose spontaneously when walking, as if they were born to be integrated with the night darkness and could not be separated, if it wasn't for the other party walking under the lights of the hall at this time, I am afraid that they would walk with each other in the alleys under the moon, and they would not find out from the shadows of the streets and alleys that those are the night, those are them.

These people must be the people of the Qing Ye Division, the footsteps fall on the floor and seem to fall on the hearts of people, and after a while, the black men surround the entire lobby, although the lights in the hall are still bright, but for some reason they always feel that there are many shadows that cannot be seen, as if those men in black who stepped on the door brought the night outside the door into the lobby.

Looking at these black men who suddenly arrived, Xu Zi'an looked solemn, thinking that the one who should have come really came, he pushed the other party, and Bai Hang seemed to be suddenly drunk again and lay on the table without moving.

In the sound of well-trained footsteps, Xiao Er, who had left with the people before, walked in front of him at this time, and looked at the cold hall, Xiao Er's face couldn't help but be full of pain, and his eyes became more and more sad and angry when he looked at Bai Hang, thinking that you drink your wine well, why do you have to mention the case of Bai Yi?

Who doesn't know that the white clothes are the most taboo topic in the Qing Ye Division, you are talking nonsense in public, isn't this causing trouble for yourself, you just provoke yourself, and you have to involve the inn.

"Is that him?" asked an official from the Qingye Division in a cold voice, and Xiao Er immediately nodded.

Needless to say, the people of the Qingye Division immediately surrounded Bai Hang and Xu Zi'an, and one of the leaders looked at Bai Hang on the table and laughed coldly.

"Who is my Dao, it turned out to be Bai Gongzi, but Bai Gongzi is used to wandering at the foot of the West Mountain, and he doesn't know the rules of Kyoto when he first comes to Kyoto, so he dares to criticize the ministers and Niangniang in such a hall, let's go, two, this department now suspects that you have disturbed the atmosphere and deliberately interfered with the Yuexi test."

Bai Hang was still sleeping peacefully on the table, Xu Zi'an was trapped in the middle and was extremely embarrassed, he heard it clearly, the other party was talking about the two of them......... , which obviously piggybacks on itself.

Just as he opened his mouth to explain that he was just a passerby, and it was only the first time he met Bai Hang, but before he could speak, Bai Hang woke up just right............

I saw this boy walking to Xu Zi'an's side while swaying, and at the same time stretched out his hand to put his hand on Xu Zi'an's shoulder, drunken and enthusiastic.

"Hey, Zi'an, I haven't left yet, it's not a friend, it's righteous enough, come on, come on, do this cup, three more cups, we'll be good brothers in the future"
