Chapter 52: The Grace of Saving Lives
Only after entering the territory of Yanzhou, even if it is just a small town on the border of Yanzhou, the degree of bustling and prosperous is significantly higher than that of Liaolong Erzhou, which everyone passed through before.
The capital of Great Xia, Henghuang City, is located in Yanzhou.
Yanzhou is to Great Xia, and Liangzhou is to Great Zhou.
Its prosperity and opulence are not only reasonable, but also unexpected. This is at least the case for Xu Han and others who have just arrived, and Yan Shu and Xue Ning are familiar with the road, and they are obviously frequent visitors to Yanzhou.
As soon as he walked into the small border town called Luoding City, he heard the subdued and frustrated shouts of the storyteller in the corner wine shop.
"Flying and riding through the mountains, a sword pierces thousands of miles!"
This seems to be about the heroic deeds of a certain former general, and the drinkers in the audience listened with great interest, and there were many pedestrians outside the wine shop who could not afford to pay for the wine and could only observe.
"Old man Wei, someone is robbing you of your business. Seeing this scene, Chu Qiuli teasingly glanced at the old man who was hunched over with a wooden box on his back, and said so.
Mr. Wei's back seemed to be a little stiffer, and the wooden box on his back was like a mountain pressing on his back, and Yan Shu, who was distressed, said more than once that he wanted to help Mr. Wei, but was stopped by Xu Han and the others, who had already seen the strange box.
When the old man heard this, he grinned and said, "Each does his own business, and the well water does not interfere with the river water." ”
......
As is customary, the group found an inn to stay in.
Chu Qiuli took the lead in ordering a table of wine and food, and glanced at Yan.
Yan Zhu grabbed Ning Zhumang, who was about to enter the house to pack his things, and the two of them poured wine into Lord Ning again.
In the conversation with Ghost Bodhi before, most of everyone heard some clues about Ning Zhumang's old things, adhering to the spirit of digging into the root and tracing the source, Chu Qiuli and Yan Chu talked to Ning Zhumang from time to time.
However, this Lord Ning has also been in charge of the teaching position for decades, and his tone is tight, Chu Qiuli and Yan Chu tried their best, and they couldn't hear one or two of them.
In the end, Chu Qiuli slapped his thigh and came up with a "poisonous plan"!
In his words: "The beauty in this world is most afraid of a mouth with rhetoric, but the hero of the world is most afraid of a pot of old and mellow wine." ”
In his Chu Daxia's opinion, there is nothing in this world that cannot be solved by one jar of wine, if so, then there are two altars.
Chu Qiuli and Yan Chu hit it off, and the two started this round of wine filling plan a few days ago and put it into practice.
So on the first day, Chu Daxia was drunk, snorting and tearing to tell the poignant and lingering love story between the eighteen-year-old him and the eighteen-year-old her.
On the second day, Yan Chu smirked with a flushed face and said that he knew each other with Xue Ning, and when it came to rising, he seemed to want to take the girl who was smoky from his wine into his arms, but in exchange for a big white eye, he apologized again and again afterwards, and coaxed and swore to settle the matter.
And from beginning to end, Ning Zhangjiao, who was the target of this "poisonous plan", drank sake leisurely, and watched the two big men play treasure in front of him with an indifferent expression.
The two middle-aged men, who both thought they were heroes in the wine, learned from the pain, and decided a few days later, with persuasion as the main and respect as the supplement, and launched an attack on Ning Zhumang again.
In this regard, Xu Han shook his head and smiled bitterly, sighing at the childlike nature of the two, but had neither the interest in participating nor the intention of stopping.
He couldn't stand the commotion of the two, and sat at the table next to him with Mr. Wei, Zhen Yue and others.
Zhen Yue, who has just arrived, may have seen the extraordinary skills of everyone before, and several people are somewhat cramped, especially when they are next to Mr. Wei.
It wasn't until Mr. Wei finished dinner and walked out of the inn alone with his suitcase on his back that the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little lighter, of course, this relaxation was only relative.
Duredom and quietness are still the main colors at this dinner table, and they seem quite incompatible with Chu Qiuli and the others who are talking loudly next door.
Xu Han saw these in his eyes, he thought slightly, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and said, "Let's go out for a walk." ”
The four strong men sitting on both sides were stunned for a moment, looked at Xu Han who made this request with wide eyes, and then turned their heads to look at their boss.
Zhen Yue also raised her head, a little stunned, as if she didn't quite believe that such an invitation was sent to her by Xu Han.
However, after confirming that the other party's eyes were indeed pointing at her, the girl nodded.
......
Hu Ma, Lu Zhushan, Wei Chen, and Shi Yucheng are known as the four King Kongs under Zhen Yue.
Of course, such a name is self-appointed by them, but Zhen Yue has only four of them, so naturally no one will rob them from them.
The Four King Kongs were tiptoeing behind Xu Han and Zhen Yue at the moment, their expressions were vigilant and focused, like farmers who were preventing the wolf from snatching their sheep, with resentment, but also fear.
Such an analogy is somewhat inappropriate.
After all, Zhen Yue's ability is not comparable to the four of them, but that concern is real, the five of them depend on each other in the rivers and lakes of Dazhou, and the love between them is no longer something that can be explained by such simple rhetoric as the boss and the younger brother.
"Old Ma, do you say that this kid is looking for the boss to come out alone, is he coveting the beauty of our boss and wants to force the boss to comply?"
"Well, this kid doesn't have a good face, and I didn't think he was a good guy from the beginning, and he must have been ill-intentioned on this trip. Huma nodded yes, rarely echoing the idea of Lu Zhushan, who had never dealt with him.
The youngest Wei Chen was puzzled when he heard this: "But I remember when I was in Antler Plain, didn't Brother Xiao Ma say that our boss was interesting to him... This can be regarded as a concubine..."
"Phew!" said Huma, but as soon as he said this, he seemed to realize that his voice was a little too loud, his neck shrank, he looked up at the two people walking in front of him, and after making sure that his voice did not attract their attention, he said: "That kid pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, and our boss took a fancy to him, so it was called favoring! ”
"But now this kid is very capable, such a character, what he likes the most is to rely on his own cultivation to bully men and women, in case he abandons our boss in chaos, won't it hurt our boss?"
Hu Ma said seriously, such a statement suddenly made Lu Zhushan and Wei Chen nod again and again, and they felt that they couldn't find fault with it.
But Shi Yucheng, who had never spoken, poked his head out at that time, cautiously glanced at the three people who looked at the same enemy, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then plucked up the courage to say: "But... In Antlers Plain, it seems that he saved us..."
"So what?!" the three asked in unison.
"Gollum. ”
Shi Yucheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and whispered with difficulty: "It's not that I mean... Saving grace..."
"When... Do you repay the promise of your body..."
