Chapter 058: Lunch
Early the next morning, in the lord's mansion, the guards came in to report that they had searched all night and had not found even the assassin's hair. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Lao G was obviously a little annoyed, but he didn't say anything, just waved his hand to let the guards retreat.
Old G said angrily: "It would be nice if Mama Tea was there, he could smell it with his nose wherever the assassin was." ”
When I heard the words "Mama Tea", my heart thumped twice.
Old G looked at me suspiciously: "What did the assassin kill you for?"
I said, "Perhaps, I know the purpose of my coming, either to blame you for a murderous charge, to cut off your hope of friendship with Nord, or to destroy the mouth?"
Old G suddenly realized, patted his head, and said, "I can't imagine it, your brain is really good." ”
I nodded, thinking to myself that it was a science to tell lies.
Lao G's eyes were different when he looked at me again, and he suddenly said, "Since the eldest brother has recognized you as a brother, we are not too angry, why don't we also bow down?"
I immediately squeezed out a flattered look and said, "How lucky I am to be able to worship the world-famous old G!" But I thought in my heart that in this way, I was one step closer to the information.
Lao G was very happy, and immediately ordered the guards to prepare incense and water, and he said: "Big brother must have done it casually when he bowed to you, he didn't understand this." Now we are worshipping in the rites of the East, and then we will be brothers who share life and death!" As he spoke, the things were ready, and he gave me three sticks of incense and dragged me to kneel down in front of the incense table.
Old G looked at me and said, "I say a word, you say a word, don't be nervous." ”
I nodded.
Old G said, "I'm old G." ”
I said, "I'm old G." ”
Old G almost jumped up and said, "You're going to call me Emmons, say your own name, don't learn from me!"
I let out an "oh".
Old G went on to say, "My old G, today I am a brother to Emmons!"
I said, "I, Emmons, am brothers to old G today." ”
Lao G said: "From now on, there will be blessings and hardships, and there will be disasters and troubles, and there will be wine and drink!"
I said, "From now on, we will enjoy happiness and hardship, and we will be in trouble and we will drink wine." ”
Old G nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year!"
I followed and said, "I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day of the same month!"
Old G looked at me with a frown, and I pretended not to see it.
Old G put the incense in his hand in the incense burner of the incense case, I followed along, but squinted and saw Lao G take out a knife from his waist, my heart tightened, I didn't know what he was going to do.
I saw that the old G was quickly in my hand, and the blade of the knife cut through my fingers, and strangely, it didn't hurt at all. Old G reached out again, caught my blood with two glasses of water and wine, and easily cut his fingers, mixed them into two cups of blood wine, and said with a smile: "Drink it, we will be brothers from now on!" After he finished speaking, he drank the glass of wine in his hand first.
I took the glass, and the smell of wine was so strong that it drowned out the smell of blood. I thought about it for a second, and then drank it all.
The taste of this wine is not quite the same as the wine I usually drink, some refreshing, even a hint of sweetness, but more of a spicy and spicy energy, a glass is dry, and there is some regret in the mouth.
Lao G said with a smile: "This is the fine wine that my master brought from the East, called Du Kang, I heard that it is very famous. You drank this wine, and we are brothers from now on. Brother can't be so angry, I don't have to pretend to be serious, it's really uncomfortable to pretend to be this time, haha!" Old G laughed and punched me in the chest. I immediately felt black in front of my eyes and almost fainted.
Old G smiled and hugged my shoulder, "I'm a little excited, I'm sorry, I forgot that my brother's body is not good, and I can't afford to punch him." Anyway, with such a poor physique, it's a miracle that you can survive in this troubled era, why don't you be a brother and teach you a few tricks?"
I smiled bitterly and shook my head: "I'm not the material for fighting, you don't have to teach me, if you learn to fight, you have to fight with people, and if you fight with people, you will get hurt, I'm afraid of pain." ”
Old G laughed and said, "It's okay, then I'll teach you a set of internal skills, don't use fists and kicks to practice, you can naturally enhance your physique, you listen well......" Then Old G told me a lot of things that I don't know if they were nursery rhymes or spells. At the end, he asked, "Do you remember?"
I said, "I can barely memorize some of them, what's the use of these mantras, do you recite them when you're fighting with people?"
Old G laughed: "Mantra? Is that the internal strength of the mind good, as for the internal strength, what is the use...... In addition to strengthening the body, it is also very powerful, you see!", he said, picking up a branch from the ground, roaring, and inserting it into the stone next to him.
My eyes were straight, and I went up and touched the stone, and then I touched the branch, and poked it a few times, but the stone was still a hard piece, but the branch was broken into several pieces. "What magic!" I said.
Old G corrected very seriously: "It's not magic, it's internal strength!"
Well, it's internal strength, but what is internal strength?
Old G saw the doubt in my heart, reached out and put it behind my back, and I immediately felt a warm hot current gushing out of his palm, flowing into my body, turning around in my body a few times, and finally staying in my lower abdomen. Old G withdrew his hand and said, "This is internal strength." I just left a breath of qi in your body, and you can follow the mantra and mental method I taught you to operate this qi and practice your own qi. With your physique, although it is unlikely that you will achieve much success, you will not be able to run by strengthening your body. With that, he gave me a book with many little figures with lines and dots drawn on it.
Lao G said that the dots here are acupuncture points, and the lines are the meridian routes, that is, the paths of qi movement. He told me to start practicing from the first page, step by step, even if I can't hurt people by picking leaves and flying flowers, I can also live a long life and never get sick. I noticed a few words written on the cover of the book in a script I didn't recognize, and I pointed to it and asked Old G what was written on it.
Lao G glanced at it and said, "The Nine Yin True Sutra Internal Strength Chapter, it's nothing, it's just a title." ”
I let out an "oh".
Under the guidance of Lao G, I meditated, and let the qi in the lower abdomen (Lao G said it was called Dan Yantian) slowly run along the meridians on the book, and I felt that my whole body was much more comfortable, and there was a kind of cold and refreshing pleasure. I accepted the book and thanked Old G for his kindness.
It stands to reason that I should have given Lao G a thing, but I rummaged in my pocket for a long time, and I didn't have anything to do. Old G saw it, smiled, and said that he would send the same one again in the future.
By the time this was done, it was almost noon. Old G said he wanted to introduce me to his men and led me downstairs. The huge meeting room below was already full of people, and it could be guessed that they were the administrators of the various departments of Chanda. In front of the crowd, a few more people were particularly conspicuous, and they seemed to be very detached. The female doctor named Long Xi I saw yesterday was one, and there was a young man in his early twenties, wearing a pair of delicate carved steel plate armor, sitting beside Long Xi in high spirits, holding one hand tightly with Long Xi, and two strange short guns in his arms.
As soon as Lao G saw this young man, he laughed: "Dryer, you kid has finally come to work!"
The young man called Dryer (what a strange name) blushed and lowered his head in embarrassment.
Lao G pointed to the dryer and introduced it to me: "This is the dryer, my old subordinate, who has been hooking up with our only female military doctor in the name of recuperating from injuries." He is now serving as an infantry instructor for the Chanda City Defense Army. Then he pointed to a tall, thin, middle-aged man with a blank face and said, "This is Bob, the deputy chief of the Chanda sheriff, and now he is right, because Roar has been locked up in the dungeon and thought about it." Bob smiled at me.
Another step to the side, it was a thin man, about thirty years old, with a bitter face, but there was a gleam in his eyes. "This is our Chanda's tax collector and chief of the city's appearance inspectorate, Manid, who is also my old subordinate. ”
A middle-aged man with a smiling face, dressed in tight leather armor and with a Germanic sword hanging from his waist. "This is the head coach of our Chanda's City Defense Army, Kai. He used to run a training ground, and if you need to train later, you can find him. Old G said. Kai smiled and reached out to shake my hand.
A bald beard, with a scar on his face, and a faint sense of banditry. "Duma, the scout captain of the Chanda City Defense Army. Friend of the road, he used to be the leader of the Central Plains Horse Bandit Alliance. The lone horse arched his hand.
"And then there's Longxi, the only female military doctor you've ever seen. Old G smiled and said, "Maybe I'll have to call her to dry Mrs. in the future." The dryer and Long Xi's faces immediately turned red.
"Then came my two captains of the guard, Peter and Felix. Old G said. I've seen Peter before, and at the moment there is another big man standing beside her, with a big axe on his back, and a smile on his face that is harmless, and that is Felix.
Lao G said with some regret: "It's a pity that the head of the intelligence department went out to inquire about intelligence, otherwise I can introduce you to him, he likes smart boys the most, hahaha......" I immediately felt goosebumps all over my body.
Then Lao G walked in front of a middle-aged man with a long face, with a heavy melancholy, and slightly blank eyes, and said: "This is the cavalry instructor of our Chanda Border Guards, Willy, his daughter has been lost recently, so she is not in a good mood." ”
My heart pounded. Willie! Monica's father! Can this donkey face give birth to such a watery Monica? Who believes it, godfather! Then I was suddenly stunned, how could the old G know that I robbed Eden's caravan, how could he not know Monica's whereabouts? Didn't he know that Monica was in that caravan? But this thought only passed through my mind, and it was saved as an argument for some of my future analyses.
Then there are some ordinary administrators. Although Chanda is not big, there are still a few large and small administrators. After seeing them one by one, it had been almost an hour, and Lao G smiled and raised my hand and said: "Everyone has seen it, this is my old G's new befriended brother, the talent admired by Brother Nabal, Emmons!
I smiled and shook hands with them again to accept their congratulations. The ladies of the Earl's Court had already prepared a wine lunch, and everyone chatted like this, and it was time for lunch.
It was the first time I had lunch at a place like Earls' Court. The Count of Aracis seemed very pleased to see so many of us making a fuss in his house, and prepared a large number of exquisite dishes, such as aged black thorn wine, pig's knuckles in honey sauce, roasted whole pigs, foie gras with caviar, Bavarian sausages, and all kinds of fruits.
Old G hooked my shoulders and clinked glasses with everyone, and I felt like it didn't feel like a meeting, it was just like a banquet. I was a little unaccustomed to the atmosphere, so I excused myself to be a little dizzy and walked to the window to catch my breath.
As soon as I opened the window, I saw a pair of eyes staring at me, these sudden eyes were completely hidden in the pitch-black cloak, my pupils tightened sharply, and I screamed, and subconsciously fell back.
My reaction startled a lot of people, and Bob, who was closest to me, immediately grabbed me, subconsciously stood in front of me, and looked out the window. Old G also looked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
I pointed out the window, speechless.
Old G cautiously pushed open the window, looked left and right, and said strangely: "It's nothing, are you too nervous?"
I think about it, I'm just a small person, even if there are assassins, any person on the field who catches them out is higher than my status, and it can't be my turn, so I settled down and got up from the ground.
The banquet continued, Lao G walked to the side and talked to the dryer and Longxi, I looked around, it was peaceful, I was so nervous to think about it, I was dazzled. I reached out and took a glass of black thorn wine from the maid beside me, and drank it slowly, letting the black and slightly bitter wine syrup pour down my throat to calm my heart.
Suddenly, I felt that something was not right, I had drunk Black Thorn wine, and we had robbed Eden several cars that time, and although I ended up selling some, I had never drunk such bitter wine. I lowered my head and looked at the glass in my hand carefully, and realized that something was not right, so I slowly poured the wine syrup on the ground, and the black wine syrup slowly decreased, and I finally saw the contents under the glass, which was covered by the wine, and that was ......
- A black scorpion!
