Chapter 296: Tang Ju's Enemy
"What's wrong?" Tian Meng didn't know it.
"Let's go inside." Lin Xuan pointed to the stone house, "He is more afraid of certain things than we do. ”
The stone house was very simple, and the wooden door had several holes, which were ventilated. Inside the door, there hung a dirty blue curtain, which looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time.
Lin Xuan opened the curtain and invited Tian Meng to go in first.
In the middle of the stone house, a copper brazier is burning vigorously, and an aluminum pot is placed on the brazier, and a bottle of unopened barley wine stands in the pot. The water in the pot was already boiling with a snort, and the bottle had been heated to at least sixty degrees, and the inner and outer walls of the glass bottle were filled with water vapor.
By the brazier stood a dilapidated wooden table with a cutting board on which lay several pieces of bone-in spiced lamb shank.
"Why did you delay so long?" Tang Ju, who was sitting cross-legged on the other side of the brazier, raised his head and asked.
Lin Xuan replied: "Wash your face first, I'm really tired."
Tang Ju shook his head and smiled: "No, no, I saw it through the crack in the door, you noticed the Mani pile and were very interested in it."
Lin Xuan also shook his head: "No."
He took off his wet coat and came to help Tian Meng again.
"Lin Xuan, you can't hide it from me, you have circled around the Mani pile five times in total, and then looked at the mountain to the east, you must have found something. If you don't tell lies in front of real people, why hide it?" Tang Ju did not intend to end this topic.
Lin Xuan smiled, hung the wet coats of the two on the bamboo pole near the brazier, and flattened and baked.
He deliberately avoided Tang Ju's topic, and was a clever way to retreat, and when Tang Ju couldn't hold his breath, he showed all his hole cards.
Tang Ju carefully unscrewed the cap of the wine bottle with a towel, which filled the three glasses next to the cutting board.
"The conditions are a bit rudimentary, but that's all there is to it in Tibet, let's make do with it." He handed the wine glass to Lin Xuan and Tian Meng.
"Thank you, it's frozen enough under the water, and you can drink hot wine, and enjoy it like a fairy." Lin Xuan didn't refuse, and after clinking glasses, he took a big sip.
The mellow aroma of hot wine, as soon as it enters the stomach, makes his mood much better.
The lamb leg meat is also delicious, and the spices are all made locally, and the taste of cooking is absolutely impossible to taste outside Tibet.
Tang Ju took two more bottles of wine and put them in the pot, and looked at Lin Xuan through the water vapor: "How about not getting drunk today?"
Lin Xuan replied with a pun: "Of course, as long as you are okay, we will have no problem."
The first glass of wine was quickly drunk, Tang Ju opened the second bottle, and in the process of pouring the wine, he suddenly sighed unconsciously.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xuan asked.
"These are the last three bottles, and after drinking these, it's time for me to hit the road." Tang Ju replied.
On the rivers and lakes, "on the road" means death.
The smile on Tang Ju's face slowly disappeared, replaced by a full of unwillingness.
"Why?" Tian Meng glanced at Lin Xuan and asked questions on his behalf.
"Because I didn't complete the task assigned by the King of the Plateau." Tang Ju replied, "He gave me a one-month deadline to find out about a series of mysterious events that happened in the 'Two Mountains and Two Lakes' area, but some accidents happened on my side, and the director's plan of action was completely disrupted, and the people involved in the operation were killed and injured, and I was the only survivor." According to the rules of the King of the Plateau, I must die. ”
"Who is the King of the Plateau?" Tian Meng asked the second question.
In fact, Lin Xuan also wanted to know the answer.
"I don't know, and you don't need to. In Tibet, sometimes the less you know, the safer you are. Tang Ju laughed miserably.
The second bottle of wine has been poured into three glasses, and the barley wine brewed by the Tibetans is among the "30 best wines" in Chinese mainland, brewed with pure grain without additives, and is the first of the original ecological good things produced in Tibet.
"Didn't you invite us here just to talk?" Tian Menghui asked angrily.
After escaping from the cold pool, she regained her true colors as a bounty hunter, with quick thinking and first-class eloquence.
Tang Ju squinted at Tian Meng, and seemed to disagree with this sentence: "Do the real big people need to talk?" In Tibet, the snow-capped mountains and glaciers are my bosom friends, what I have done, they know enough, why bother to tell outsiders?"
There are many heroes of the Tang Gate in Shu, and Tang Ju dares to break away from the Tang Gate and enter the world alone, which must be an extraordinary capital. Therefore, he didn't take Tian Meng seriously.
Tian Meng cleared his throat and suddenly spoke a series of Tibetan words.
Lin Xuan remained silent, but immediately translated Tibetan into Chinese in his heart, which means: Whoever sees my shadow must be a person of fate. Go straight 300 steps, see each other overnight, fate transcends the boundaries of time and reincarnation.
Tang Ju changed color, the wine glass in his hand trembled, and the liquor splashed out, dripping into the brazier, and with a "zila" sound, it instantly turned into white smoke overflowing with the fragrance of wine.
His eyes widened and he stared straight at Tian Meng.
"You must be wondering, why do I know this?" Tian Meng asked.
The arrogance on Tang Ju's face retracted, and he nodded slowly, and a mixed expression gradually appeared on his gray face.
Lin Xuan knew that the only thing that could make an ordinary-looking person suddenly shine was love.
The answer to that question is the chip that Tian Meng is holding.
Life is like a gambling game, and gambling is not for losing. Only those who have chips are eligible to sit at the table, and those who do not have chips can only be out of the game, and there is no chance to turn the buck back.
"The wine is really good, thank you." Lin Xuan raised his glass and looked at Tang Ju, "I respect you, and I also respect the king of the plateau who will never see a shadow." ”
He sang and harmonized with Tian Meng, skillfully reversing the shape of the stone house, evolving "restraint" into "countermeasures".
In his opinion, Tang Ju is not a nasty person, compared to other people in the Brahma Society, Tang Ju can be regarded as personable, cultivated, and low-key and indifferent. But it's a pity that this world is reserved for the "wicked", and the good people don't live long, and the scourge lasts for 10,000 years.
"No thanks, you're a drinker - and a respectable opponent." Tang Ju responded.
Lin Xuan took a big sip and asked with a smile, "So, you didn't poison me?" Instead, put the poison on Tian Meng?"
As a doctor, he is aware of any strange sensations that occur inside and outside his body. From Hantan to here, he carefully inspected several times and was sure that he was not poisoned.
He noticed that Tian Meng's emotions were fluctuating, and his steps were also heavy and light, obviously controlled by a special poison.
The real clever poison is not used to kill people, but to control others, which may be the real meaning of Tang Ju saying on the top of the cold pool, "I want you to listen to my orders".
"That's right." Tang Ju nodded calmly in acknowledgement.
"Why?" Lin Xuan asked.
He had calculated that it would not be difficult to kill Tang Ju, and if he did it in this stone house, he was sure that he would be hit with one blow.
Tang Ju had a direct showdown: "I have observed, you are a very difficult person to control, and the existing poison in my hand is not completely sure to achieve the goal of controlling your mind." So, I simply gave up and adopted a roundabout way to outflank and control the person you like. You'll do what I tell you for her, won't you?"
"Excellent, a toast to your candor!" This was the answer that Lin Xuan could expect. If he guessed correctly, Tang Ju was going to drive him to deal with the King of the Plateau.
"Cheers, it's so much more refreshing to deal with smart people!" Tang Ju raised his glass in response.
Tian Meng yawned, leaned his back against the legs of the wooden bed next to him, rested his head on his knees, and fell into a deep sleep.
There were only two men left at the brazier, and the conversation was immediately much easier.
"I don't want to die, even in the face of the all-powerful Plateau King, I still want to gamble and fight back as best I can, instead of sitting and waiting for death." Tang Ju bit his lip, his eyes staring at the charcoal burning crimson in the brazier, "If the warrior will be angry, the two corpses will be ambushed, bleeding five steps, the world is vegetarian, and today is also." ”
That sentence comes from the article "Tang Ju Does Not Disgrace the Mission" in "Warring States Policy", describing the great achievements of the wise man Tang Ju, who is good at controlling the big scene, but he is not afraid in the face of the aggressive enemy king, and finally becomes a hero through the ages.
His "Tang Ju" is not this "Tang Ju", the name is the same, but what the two do, the situation they are in, and the IQ they have are completely different.
Moreover, the king of the plateau is not the ancient king of benevolence and righteousness, but a border lion who destroys miè and qiē.
"There are some things that can't be solved by being ruthless and shouting slogans. If you want to fight back against the Plateau King, you have to at least have a lot of chips in your hands - do you?" Lin Xuan went straight to the key issue.
"You're my bargaining chip." Tang Ju replied.
Lin Xuan was stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "You really lift me up too much, take me to fight back against the King of the Plateau, how is it different from hitting a stone with an egg?"
The King of the Plateau is the legendary god of death, and few people have seen his true face, and if you want to defeat him, it is like a tiger gnawing at the sky, and there is nowhere to put your mouth.
Tang Ju slowly unbuttoned the collar of his coat, freeing his neck, which had turned red from the burning of alcohol.
"If you can't kill the King of the Plateau, I will die, you will die, and Tian Meng will die. I couldn't afford to carry this burden, so I had to pull the master to pick it up. Now that this burden has been shifted to your shoulders, it's up to you to decide what to do. Tang Ju's expression became very subtle, with both relieved joy and hidden worry about the coming mountain rain.
Lin Xuan lowered his head, thought quietly for a while, and then slowly raised his head, smiling and nodding: "Deal."
Tang Ju let out a sigh: "Okay, I really didn't see the wrong person."
Lin Xuan added in a low voice: "Although this is not a good business, people under the eaves can't help but bow their heads." Remember, if you can get away with eliminating the King of the Plateau, you must solve the poison on Tian Meng's body. ”
He is a person with almost no flaws, but in the cold pool, Tian Meng revealed his true feelings several times. Because of this budding love, he was entangled in the spider silk of the love web, and he couldn't break free for a while.
After the two drank the third bottle of wine, they were both seven points drunk, their faces were red, and they were drunk.
Lin Xuan ...... Lin Xuan, I tell you a secret, that is...... There is a beautiful German woman hidden under the cold pool, her name should be Eva, that is, the Führer's favorite woman in the past, hahahaha...... Strange or not, you say, she is hiding under the cold pool, an uninhabitable place. I've seen her, and she's living in the image, beautiful like a song...... So, I have to completely crack the secret of this mountain, eliminate a qiē roadblock, and get my ......"
