Chapter 004: Chasing
Anping County is a small county town in the south of Wu'an County, with a population of less than 100,000, but the small county town that should be barren has become prosperous because of its proximity to the Dengtian Mountains and the Wentianzong.
The towering walls outside the city are strong and square, giving people a sense of solidity and awe-inspiring invincibility. The criss-crossing roads in the city constitute the blood and skeleton of the county. These roads are all paved with square bluestone slabs, which shows the enormity of the project, and a large number of towering buildings on both sides of the road look majestic.
Gu Sanqian walked slowly on the bluestone slab, his steps were as light as a feather landing without sound, and his steps were floating like a drunken man stumbling on the road.
Looking up, he saw an inn and stepped inside.
The inn was full of people, Gu Sanqian glanced around, and found that the entire hall was full of people.
These men either had their breasts open, and they raised their bowls and poured cloudy liquor into their mouths, the wine mixed with saliva running down their chins and drenching their chests, belts, and trousers. Or step on a long stool in twos and threes, stretching out and rowing an unknown wine fist.
The smell of sweat, alcohol, vomiting, and even some smelly feet mixed together.
Gu Sanqian frowned, although such a smell was unpleasant, it was unavoidable, because there were all kinds of mixed smells where people gathered, and he couldn't avoid these smells without seeing people, so he chose to continue walking, his movements were still the appearance of falling down at any time.
"This guy shouldn't be going to die, it's not good if he dies in our restaurant!, but you can't drive him out!" Xiao Er, the shopkeeper in the restaurant, said secretly in his heart, he came to Gu Sanqian with an unhappy face and asked, "Guest officer, are you eating or staying in the hotel?"
Gu Sanqian's eyes were so sharp, how could he not know about the uncertain face of the shopkeeper just now? It's just that he was already used to all kinds of eyes, so he didn't care, and said simply: "I want both, but I want to eat first, and then stay in the hotel." ”
After several days of traveling, he didn't eat or drink well along the way, and his already weak body became even weaker, so he chose to eat first without hesitation.
Gu Sanqian glanced at the entire hall and found that the hall was full of people, except for a table near the corner of the wall, where only a young man was sitting. The man was plump and handsome, with a face like beautiful jade, a red and white robe, with a golden hollow violet trim exposed inside, and a simple and thick pitch-black wooden sword was placed next to the table, with oval overlapping holes at the hilt and blade.
Gu Sanqian immediately walked towards the young man's position, and his movement immediately attracted the attention of the people around him, whose expressions were very strange, and they looked like they wanted to watch a good show.
Gu Sanqian walked closer, pointed to the empty seat opposite the young man, clasped his fists, and saluted, "This brother, is there anyone sitting here?"
The young man ignored Gu Sanqian, he still ate the food on the table slowly, as if Gu Sanqian didn't exist at all.
Gu Sanqian smiled slightly when he saw this, he didn't care about the other party's attitude, he asked again, this time he deliberately raised his voice, but the other party still didn't answer.
He didn't answer twice in a row, Gu Sanqian was not polite, he took out the bench and slowly sat opposite the young man.
When Gu Sanqian sat down, the young man's left hand was placed on his sword: "Just because I don't speak doesn't mean you can sit down!"
"You can speak, I'm still dumb for you!" Gu Sanqian didn't back down at all.
The young man put down the chopsticks in his hand, and his voice turned cold: "Did you do it on purpose?"
Gu Sanqian nodded strangely and said, "Yes, how do I know what you think if you don't speak, I thought you acquiesced! Besides, the restaurant is not yours, so why do I need your acquiescence when I sit here?"
The young man looked up at Gu Sanqian, and saw that Gu Sanqian was dressed in a white robe, with a sallow complexion, especially the yellow with a purple-black aura, and the slightly purple lips and upper lip lines were particularly black.
This was a very deep face of poisoning, and the young man's heart couldn't help but soften, and the words that came to his mouth were swallowed by him again.
"You...... You're right, this restaurant is not mine. One sentence is obviously a tacit acquiescence to Gu Sanqian's behavior.
Cut~
The expected show was not staged, and the people in the restaurant suddenly made a sneering sound.
The shopkeeper also came to Gu Sanqian's side at this time, bought dishes and chopsticks for him, and asked: "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?"
"A pound of red-tongued rabbit meat, a bowl of hot soup, and a bowl of rice. ”
The warm tonic can prevent the onset of poison in the body, but it will also aggravate the toxins in the body, but at this moment, Gu Sanqian doesn't care about the toxins in the body getting worse a little bit.
He needs physical strength, which comes from the physical strength brought to him by food, because killing Hu Ji on the official road before consumed a lot of his physical strength, and physical strength is his only strength now, he must replenish his physical strength to deal with all kinds of emergencies, if he uses the power to suppress the toxin, then he will definitely die.
After a while, the food was ready, and Gu Sanqian also ate and drank by himself, his movements were also slow and methodical, and his unhurried movements were the same as those of the young man opposite.
The two glanced at each other, smiled slightly, and the young man spoke: "Under Yuan Wenjin!"
"Ancient three thousand!"
After the two exchanged names, they began to chat while eating, dusk fell unconsciously, Gu Sanqian was full of comfort after eating and drinking, he slowly stood up and prepared to settle the bill, but then he heard a sound of horses' hooves outside, the sound of horses' hooves was urgent, obviously urging to come here, he and the young man opposite couldn't help but look outside.
In the blink of an eye, the sound of horses' hooves had come to the door of the restaurant, and then a middle-aged man about forty years old, with short and thin eyebrows and evil eyes, appeared at the gate of the restaurant.
The middle-aged man carried a long sword behind him, and the hilt of the sword was wrapped around a circle, and the white cloth was similar to the color of the hand wrapped around his right wrist. He was followed by four people, four dressed in gray clothes, wearing black bamboo hats, moving neatly, obviously with a certain tacit understanding.
Gu Sanqian saw that these people were a little unkind, but he didn't care, and then turned around and was about to leave.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man led by him was searching after entering the door, and when he saw that someone was leaving, he immediately said and said, "This brother, please stay!"
Then he clasped his fists and saluted to the people around him, "Chen Yuanzhong, the commander of the Ge family in Wu'an County, has just received a report from his subordinates, knowing that the enemy of his family has infiltrated this shop, and he doesn't want to harm the innocent, please don't move, wait until we find the enemy, how about you drink again?"
Although Chen Yuanzhong's tone was polite, there was a ruthlessness in his words, which meant that if you dare to move, I would abolish you. The tone is crazy and the voice is so loud, obviously they don't take the people here in their eyes at all, so it can be seen how their style is on weekdays?
