Huangshi Town, Longxiang Inn, Tianzi No. 1 Room. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A middle-aged man with two mustaches was lying on the bed with a large glass of wine on his chest.

He didn't move, and he looked almost dead. At this time, a shopkeeper took a wine jug, pushed open the door and walked in, standing next to this "dead man".

He still didn't move, but took a deep breath, and the wine glass on his chest was immediately sucked by him.

Then he exhaled again, and the glass immediately returned to its original place.

The shopkeeper next to him exclaimed, "Lu Daxia, you are really a god!"

Then fill him with the empty glass.

Lu Daxia turned his head, saw the face of the shopkeeper and said, "Xiaobei, why are you?"

The shopkeeper named Xiaobei said respectfully, "Hey, don't mention it." Somehow, so many people have come to this tiny town of Yellowstone lately. It's not even time to eat, every table in the lobby downstairs is full of guests, and the guys who run the hall are very busy. Fortunately, a young man accidentally knocked over the noodle soup that the customer wanted. At this time, the young master is apologizing to others!"

Lu Daxia smiled, "Hehe, your young master Qian is really becoming more and more like a shopkeeper!"

Xiao Beidao, "That's, and under the leadership of the young master, the business of the small shop is getting better and better." ”

Lu Daxia smiled, and then said, "Hey, by the way, who is the new account room in your inn?"

Xiaobeidao, "I don't know about this, I only know that the surname is Li, and he came to us last winter when we were on vacation." The young master saw that he could read a few words, and he happened to replace Zhang Xiucai, who resigned to go to Beijing to take the exam, and became such a bookkeeper here with us. ”

Lu Daxia said, "Oh, really?"

After speaking, Lu Daxia handed Xiaobei a letter that had been written a long time ago, and asked Xiaobei to hand it over to their small money shopkeeper, and then got up and picked up the big red robe hanging on the screen, and flew out of the window of the room and left the Longxiang Inn.

Yellowstone is not a "small" town, with a population of nearly 200,000 and frequent visits by merchants. But it is by no means like now, when spring has just begun, so many outsiders have gathered, and most of them are martial arts people.

It seems that this small Huangshi Town carries the forces of the entire Jianghu martial arts.

When it comes to the forces of the rivers and lakes, there are two that must be mentioned, one is the [Wulin League] and the other is the [Jianghu Order].

The [Wulin League] is a Jianghu organization supported by the imperial court, not a sect. They believe that the people in the martial arts are also the people of the Great Wei Dynasty, and should be controlled by the imperial court, rather than wantonly disrupting the rule of law. The so-called - things do not deviate from the law, and the world does not deviate from order!

[Jianghu Order] is a mysterious chivalrous organization, and it is not a sect. They believe that what the people in the martial arts seek is freedom, and they should be happy to take revenge, rather than become a weapon for the court to rule over the people of Dawn. The so-called - the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and the birds fly!

At this moment, these Jianghu forces and individuals, including the Wulin Alliance that exists on the bright side, and the Jianghu people in the dark, are mostly concentrated in the largest and best inn in Huangshi Town, the Longxiang Inn.

Huangshi Town will never attract many martial arts people for no reason, and Qian Ziming, the new shopkeeper of Longxiang Inn, didn't want to ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but he couldn't turn away customers behind closed doors, and he was worried that there would be a reason for the incident, so he had to appoint a shop Xiaoer Xiaonan to inquire about the reason for these martial arts people.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Nan clumsily spilled a bowl of noodle soup on a man who looked fierce and evil, Qian Ziming had to come forward in person to apologize, and even his old friend Lu Daxia couldn't receive it immediately, so he sent Xiaobei to pour wine for Lu Daxia first.

And the occurrence of this trivial incident led to the hurried meeting of Qian Ziming and Lu Daxia, which was goodbye.

Let's not mention it for the time being, and said that the guest who Xiao Nan offended made things difficult for Qian Ziming in every way, but Qian Ziming still treated him politely.

Qian Ziming said, "This hero, my guy has just come here, and he doesn't understand a lot of rules, I hope you will forgive me." I'll treat you to this meal!"

I saw that the man had a big waist and a round waist, a beard, and a nine-ring knife on the table, as if he was waiting for some companion.

The man said, "You little shopkeeper is also reasonable, and I don't want to delve into it, leave your buddy's right hand, and this matter will be settled!"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the fellow martial arts people in the lobby of the inn were focused on Qian Ziming, thinking that they could watch a good show.

Qian Zi saw that this big man had no intention of backing down, and his body, which had been slightly owed for the sake of politeness, also straightened up, and protected the frightened and trembling guy Xiao Nan behind him, and said, "Although this store is small, it is not a person who is willing to be bullied and dare not resist, if you are still such an aggressive attitude, don't blame us for turning our faces!"

After speaking, the martial arts people in the entire lobby burst into laughter.

The big man in front of him is a middle-level master of the [Rongguan] realm who has long become famous on the rivers and lakes - Cheng Liman, a nine-ring sword galloping in the martial arts, and he has not yet met a guy who dares to easily argue with him. Now the shopkeeper of a small inn in this little town of Yellowstone would offend this person for the sake of a young man in the shop, then he is either arrogant or ignorant.

And the one who laughed the most was of course Cheng Liman himself, I saw him suddenly burst out, holding a nine-ring knife and slashing at Qian Ziming's head, wanting to take Qian Ziming's life.

But just when Cheng Liman's big knife was three fingers away from Qian Ziming's face, two fingers suddenly appeared and pinched an iron ring on the back of his big knife, so that he couldn't move the big knife towards Qian Ziming any more.

During the whole process, Qian Ziming, the shopkeeper of the Longxiang Inn, who faced all this, was unmoved, as if this big knife was not him at all.

Cheng Liman saw two thick fingers tightly grasping his big knife, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, trembling his body and turned to look at the owner of these two fingers.

It was a burly man who was more burly than himself, also bearded, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, forty or fifty years old, but half a head taller than him, and wearing an apron, and dressed as a cook.

I saw that the man dressed as a cook pinched the iron ring, calmly took the big knife in Cheng Liman's hand away from Qian Ziming, and then said, "Boy, the messy knife technique also dares to be ugly in front of our shopkeeper!"

After saying that, he threw the nine-ring broadsword aside and plunged deep into the wall. At the same time, in the lobby of the entire inn, there was silence in an instant, and no one dared to say a word again!

It turned out that the little shopkeeper of this inn was not arrogant, nor was he ignorant, but he didn't take the Nine Ring Dao Cheng Li in his eyes at all.

Cheng Liman was already sweating profusely, and while wiping the sweat from his eyes with his hands, he said in a low voice, "You...... You turned out to be a senior of the [Bladeless] Realm, Xiao ...... The little ones have eyes and don't know Tarzan!"

After speaking, Cheng Liman immediately removed his right hand, left it on the ground, and then knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to admit his mistake, and turned around and left without waiting for anyone to say forgiveness.

But as soon as he took a step on the threshold, another voice sounded.

"The guest officer hasn't settled the account yet, why are you in a hurry?" said calmly as a handsome man dressed as a bookkeeper in front of the counter, looking at the account book in his hand.

Cheng Li gritted his teeth with anger, but he still took out the silver coin bag in his arms with his only left hand, turned around and handed it to the shopkeeper Qian Ziming behind him, and then safely left the Longxiang Inn that he never wanted to enter again.

Qian Ziming took the blood-stained money bag and weighed it, and then kicked the severed hand on the ground out of the Longxiang Inn with another kick. Cheng Liman, who was outside the inn, hurriedly picked up his severed hand and disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

Then, Qian Ziming said to the burly man, "Cook, thank you!"

The burly man is the chef of Longxiang Inn, and his real name has long been unknown, Qian Ziming called him "cook" along with his deceased father. Moreover, this "cook" can only be called by Qian Ziming and his father, and everyone else calls him "chef".

The cook smiled, "Hehe, why is the young master still polite to me, what is this compared to the great kindness that the master gave me at the beginning?"

At this time, the other martial arts people or ordinary people who were watching the play only obediently bowed their heads to eat the food, and did not dare to speak, which seemed to be a little deserted in the lobby full of guests.
