Chapter 157
But Qingyi and Lin Xuanzhong's thoughts are different from theirs, in the eyes of the two, I am afraid that after a meal, their entanglement will be used up, so it is better to keep it simple, and the two of them have indeed had dinner before.
"If a few of you are polite to us again, then forgive our brothers for not accompanying us more," although he knew that the other party had good intentions, Qingyi didn't want to cause trouble to the other party, so his words were very direct.
"Brother Qingyi, don't be angry, let's just get some wine and food," Sensing that Qingyi was a little impatient with their politeness, Zhang Guang hurriedly laughed with them, for fear that Qingyi and Lin Xuanzhong would not accept a little of their gratitude.
At the same time, the innkeeper who was waiting for everyone to order food saw the situation clearly, and his enthusiasm faded a little, but he still said with a smile: "Okay, a few guest officers will go over there and sit down for a while, and I'll go get you some wine and food." With that, the innkeeper turned and walked to the back hall.
Following what the innkeeper pointed out, several people saw an empty table in the hall, and Zhang Guang immediately beckoned Lin Xuanzhong and Qingyi to come and sit.
After a while, the seven of them sat down around a table and chatted before the food and drinks were delivered.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Guang was a member of a mercenary team in the neighboring city of Wenfeng City, and after a brief understanding of their origins, there was a good impression between the two sides.
After continuing to communicate, Lin Xuanzhong figured out that Xiu'er was indeed on a mercenary mission for the first time, and unlike Red Tears's boldness, Xiu'er seemed to be very afraid of people and rarely spoke, usually Zhang Guang and Yuting were communicating with the two.
After a while, the wine and food came up, and everyone chatted while eating.
Lin Xuanzhong and the two of them were not hungry for dinner, they had been drinking, on the other hand, the five brothers and sisters of Zhang Guang didn't seem to have eaten much in the inn just now, so they were all busy filling their stomachs.
"It's not a secret, just now in that inn, our brothers and sisters got into a fight with those people shortly after they ordered, so the brothers and sisters didn't eat enough before, but now they eat more, and I hope the two brothers won't be surprised. Zhang Guang spoke very truthfully after contacting Lin Xuanzhong for a period of time.
Now my two juniors and disciples are only concerned about eating, and they don't know how to toast, so they explain apologetically.
As soon as Zhang Guang said this, Lin Xuanzhong really found that the two men opposite and Na Xiu'er had been eating, but the dishes on the table were too simple, and there were not enough for a few martial artists to eat.
At the same time, Qingyi's face was also tight, he didn't expect that they hadn't eaten, and the wine and food on the table were obviously not enough, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he remembered the thing that prevented Zhang Guangduo from ordering food just now.
"It's okay, wine and food are meant to be eaten, and it's not good if no one eats," After shaking his head at Zhang Guang, Qing Yi looked at Zhang Guang's two junior disciples who had a similar temperament to Lin Xuanzhong, and immediately smiled and shouted to the guy who walked over from the table: "Shop, add another five catties of cooked meat." ”
"Okay," the innkeeper turned around and saw that it was Qingyi ordering, and immediately responded.
"Brother Qingyi, you ......" When Zhang Guang also wanted to stop Qingyi, Qingyi had already waved his hand to let the guy leave.
"It's a kind of fate to meet you when you're away, Brother Zhang Guang doesn't have to be polite to me. Thinking that Zhang Guang was a person from the neighboring city of Wenfeng City, Qingyi became enthusiastic.
When Zhang Guang and Qingyi communicated, Lin Xuanzhong's heart went up. Fortunately, Qingyi is good at tongue and can always convince Zhang Guang of them.
Lin Xuanzhong is becoming more and more envious of Qingyi's communication ability, and he really wants to be able to talk to Zhang Guang and them very naturally, because Qingyi is basically talking until now.
After a period of time, when those meat were delivered, Lin Xuanzhong had already learned some more specific information from the exchanges between the two sides, it turned out that Zhang Guang and their ability to escape to the city that never sleeps was related to the movement of the fierce beast, and it seemed that several people were still grateful to the black Jiao.
In addition, a lot of news about the strange movement of the fierce beast, they only heard it from outsiders after coming to the city, although they arrived in the city that never sleeps two days earlier than the two, it can be seen that the five people really don't know much about the news of the abnormal movement of the fierce beast.
After they arrived at the city that never sleeps, they had been waiting in the city for two days, and their master and other companions had not arrived. For two days, the five had been wandering around the city gates, hoping to meet the men of their team.
After two days, they didn't even see a familiar face, but because of the problem of food and housing, the jade they originally carried was about to run out, so they planned to have another dinner, and then buy some dry food and set off on the road overnight. It's just that because he was bullied by those eight people in the inn, Zhang Guang caused trouble in order to stand up for his two junior sisters.
By now, the whole story is clear. Thinking that the masters and other companions of several people may have died at the hands of those robbers, Lin Xuanzhong was very sympathetic to the plight of several people, but he didn't think that a few people could go back smoothly, after all, there were more than a thousand miles from Sleepless City to Wenfeng City, and there were many dangers along the way, I am afraid that it would be difficult for Zhang Guang to bring his junior brothers and sisters back smoothly with the strength of one person. In this way, Lin Xuanzhong thought of a way for them.
Since their home is not far from Wenfeng City, they can go with the middle-aged leader, so that there are more people who are safer.
"Qingyi, I think we can let them go back with Uncle Shi," after thinking of a way, Lin Xuanzhong immediately proposed.
"Who is Uncle Shi?" Suddenly hearing a strange name, Xiu'er, who was busy eating, finally took the initiative to speak.
"Uncle Shi is the leader of our mercenary army," Seeing Xiu'er speak, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help but answer, since walking with the five people, it was the first time that Lin Xuanzhong spoke so neatly.
"Oh, is Uncle Shi very powerful?" Putting down the cooked meat in her hand, Xiu'er asked again, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Of course it's amazing," Xiu'er's innocent eyes seemed to be transparent, and Lin Xuanzhong, who had calmed down, was still anxious to answer Xiu'er's question.
"Then Uncle Shi, where are they?"
"It should be almost time to the city that never sleeps, Qingfeng and I are in front of the group, maybe we can meet them when we go around the city. "It's Qing Yi who is talking now, and Qing Yi has already considered Lin Xuanzhong's proposal. If Zhang Guang and the others were willing to go back with the mercenary team, it would be much safer along the way.
"Two great graces, our brothers and sisters are unforgettable, if we trouble you again, we really don't want to go, so thank you two brothers for your kindness, we don't want to trouble you again. In fact, from beginning to end, Yuwan was looking at Lin Xuanzhong and the two from time to time.
In Yuwan's opinion, Lin Xuanzhong and the others were dressed very ordinary, not like martial arts cultivators with status. Lin Xuanzhong and the others had already spent so much jade before, and Yuwan really didn't want to trouble the two of them.
"Yes, the two brothers have taken great care of our brothers and sisters, and although our brothers and sisters have no ability, they can't rely on others to live. Originally, Zhang Guang, who was a little real, was very inclined to Lin Xuanzhong's proposal just now, but when he heard his junior sister's words, he felt very embarrassed, so he could only politely refuse.
And Zhang Guang's two junior brothers and Xiu'er saw that their senior brother and senior sister rejected Qingyi's proposal, and their faces suddenly became ugly, but they couldn't open their mouths to persuade their senior brother and sister, so the three of them could only choose to be silent in disappointment.
"Brother Zhang, Sister Yuwan, this matter is not urgent for the time being, let's go out for a walk together later," Seeing that the two of them were reluctant to accept any more help, Qingyi just smiled and did not force it.
I don't know why Qingyi didn't force the other party, Lin Xuanzhong was a little disappointed, but unfortunately he couldn't make decisions for Qingyi and Zhang Guang, Lin Xuanzhong simply had the intention of taking one step at a time.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the group has been in the inn for half an hour unconsciously. And while a few people were chatting, from time to time there would be a fat man with a lewd description walking back and forth on the street opposite the inn, and this person would glance into the inn every time he walked past that location.
Looking closely, this person was the shortest fat man among the eight people before, sneakily loitering around the street, obviously not having a good heart. As for the existence of the fat man, the few people who only cared about eating and chatting didn't notice it.
It didn't take long for Zhang Guang's two junior brothers and Xiu'er to eat enough, and they reluctantly put down the chopsticks in their hands one by one. On the other side, Zhang Guang and Yuwan also ate about the same.
Although Qingyi drank for the second time, he didn't drink much, but Lin Xuanzhong didn't know how to excuse himself because the two kept toasting, and now he was a little drunk after drinking too much.
"You sit down first, I'll settle the bill," Seeing that several people had already eaten, Zhang Guang immediately got up to pay.
"Brother Zhang, your money is still kept for pestering, even if our brother invites this meal. Saying that, Qingyi also got up and pulled Zhang Guang, who was leaving his seat.
When he didn't know what Qingyi was going to do, Lin Xuanzhong on the side couldn't help but be a little anxious when he saw that Zhang Guang was going to settle the bill, and wanted to stop the other party, but he was too drunk, his eyes flashed, and he didn't have the strength to speak.
"Okay," Qing Yi shook his head helplessly, let go of Zhang Guang's arm, knowing that he couldn't change the other party's mind, Qing Yi could only smile and say, "Then thank you for your hospitality." ”
Seeing that Qingyi did not continue to stop Zhang Guang, Lin Xuanzhong was a little puzzled, but as soon as he stood up and wanted to say something, Zhang Guang had already walked to the counter.
Fortunately, the jade is enough, after paying for the meal, although Zhang Guang looked sad, he still had a smile on his face when he returned to the table, "Two brothers, junior brothers, junior sisters, let's go," greeted with a smile, Zhang Guang waited for a few people to get up and leave.
A meal may use up the rest of the dishes, Xiu'er and Zhang Guang's two young junior brothers stood up with bitter faces when they thought of this, only Yuwan's face was normal.
After several people stood up, Zhang Guang and Qingyi took the lead and walked outside the inn, Lin Xuanzhong followed behind and just wanted to move, but his body was crooked and almost knocked over the chair, and he finally stood up straight.
