Chapter 30: Tiger Roaring City (2)
Tiger Roaring City is the easternmost city of the White Tiger Continent, bordering the Xuanwu Continent and the Qilin Continent, and its geographical location is very important. The Heaven and Earth Alliance has been entrenched here for thousands of years, except for the Amber family, they are the real leaders of Tiger Roar City. Now that the Amber family is being pursued by the Black Alliance, seeing that it has fallen, the Heaven and Earth Alliance has taken advantage of the situation to take over the entire city, and the imprint of the Amber family in Tiger Roaring City has been erased.
The towering buildings and the bustling flow of people told the prosperity of Tiger Roaring City, and Lin Yan couldn't help but secretly praise the management methods of the Heaven and Earth Alliance as he walked.
Having been familiar with Tiger Roaring City and the location of the main altar of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, Lin Yan found an ordinary inn to live in the southeast, waiting for the convergence of the golden snake.
Not long after he checked in, Lin Yan was woken up by the noise coming from the lobby, he got up and walked out of the door, looking at the movement downstairs.
"Chu San, you kill embryos, you don't have long eyes when you walk, look at the staining of Jian Ye's clothes, don't you hurry up and kneel down to admit your mistake." The shopkeeper scolded a thirteen or fourteen-year-old man, and at the same time bent down and said to a big man in a green shirt with a smile, "Master Jian, you don't care about villains." Don't worry about the children, we'll pay if the clothes are dirty, okay? ”
Listening to the shopkeeper's words, the young man was already kneeling in front of the big man, kowtowing "bang bang", and kept saying: "I'm sorry, uncle; I'm sorry, uncle......"
The big man looked at the little guy kneeling on the ground contemptuously, raised his foot and kicked him over, "Get out of the way, get down to the bitch, you will be upset when you look at it." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly rushed to the front, and his smile was even brighter, "Master Jian, a lot, thank you Jianye!" Then he turned around and scolded, "Don't get out of here, I didn't hear Jian Ye say that I was upset when I looked at it." Hurry up and disappear for me. ”
Ignoring the pain in his body, the young man quickly got up and stumbled away.
The shopkeeper led the big man to the private room, and asked with a smile: "Master Jian, how can you go to our small shop today, it's really rare." ”
"You think I want to come, but I wasn't forced by Huo Dashao. Gou Ying, let him come to see me. The big man pouted, pulling out a chair and sitting down.
"The owner is not in the store, Master Jian." The shopkeeper replied while making tea.
Dahan's face turned cold, and he said, "Are you not cleaning up, if I don't inquire clearly, I will come to your shabby shop in person." Ma slipped away and told him: If you don't come out to see me again, believe it or not, I'll immediately demolish your shop. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, Master Jian, I'll look for it, and I'll bring it to you. Wait a minute. The shopkeeper said goodbye with a smile on his face. Walked through the lobby into the backyard, came to the door of an inconspicuous wing room, knocked on the door and said, "Boss, Master Jian is here, saying that he wants to see you." ”
"Just say I'm not there." A man's voice came from inside the house.
"Dongjia, Jian Ye got the news from somewhere to confirm that you are here, and he came to block you in person, do you see, is it inappropriate not to see you?"
"Did he say that?"
"Absolutely."
After a moment of silence, the man said, "Then you can invite him here." ”
"Yes, host." The shopkeeper turned around and went to invite Jian Ye.
After a while, the shopkeeper led the big man to the wing. At this time, the door of the wing room had been opened, and the shopkeeper made a gesture of invitation and invited the big man into the room. When the big man entered, he reached out and closed the door of the wing, and walked away for a distance.
"Big brother, sit down." A middle-aged man in the wing room greeted the big man when he saw the big man coming in.
Dahan sat down, looked at the man and said, "Brother, it's useless, you can't hide, it's better to follow me to stand on Huo Dashao's side, at least, when the time comes, our two brothers can take care of each other." ”
The man (Gou Ying) smiled bitterly: "Big brother, I really don't want to get involved in the fight between their brothers. Since my father left, my Gou family's status in the league has been getting worse day by day, and if it weren't for Uncle Jian's care, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to keep this small shop. You say, even if I stand up, what role can I play, and I will cause trouble. It's better to be a man with a shrunken neck and save the lives of the family. ”
"Brother, you're wrong. As the saying goes: wealth is sought in danger. I think that if it weren't for Uncle Fugui and my father supporting the alliance leader together, where would there be the glory and wealth of your and my families for decades. Brother, if you want to revive the lintel of the Gou family, you must have a trade-off, otherwise, even if you survive, you won't be far away, so it's better to follow my brother and me. ”
"Brother, it's not like I haven't thought about what you're saying, but I can't take this risk. With Uncle Jian here, even if Da Shao fails to succeed, for Uncle Jian's sake, he Huo Dong can't do anything to you; But I'm different, my father's shadow is no longer there, if Huo Dong is in power, my Gou family will be cleared. I can't afford it. ”
"Are you going to live like this for the rest of your life?"
Gou Ying sighed and said, "Then what else, this is fate, who let my father leave so early." ”
There was silence in the room
After a moment, Dahan still wanted to fight again, and said, "You really don't think about it anymore?" I think it's quite a big sure thing to happen. And I came here this time because Da Shao personally confessed, which shows that Da Shao still values you a lot. ”
Gou Ying shook her head firmly, "Don't think about it." Thank you for your kindness. Then, he reminded the big man, "Brother, Huo Dong is not without a chance, you have to be more measured when you do things, after all, the old alliance leader likes him more." ”
Dahan nodded, got up and said, "If you have made up your mind, then I will not persuade you again, and after that, you should try not to show your face as much as possible." If there is anything difficult or troublesome, come to me. ”
"Yes, big brother. Let's eat before leaving. ”
"No, Dashao is still waiting for my reply." Dahan leaves......
When night fell, the lights came on, and the guys brought food to the room. The guy who delivered food to Lin Yan happened to be the guy who was Chu San.
"Guest, your dinner is here."
"Put it on the table."
"Yes, guest officer." The young man laid out the food bowl by bowl.
"How old are you?" Holding Hu Qingbo and sitting down, Lin Yan asked casually.
"Thirteen."
"Locals, huh?"
"Yes, guest officer."
"Coming out to do things at such a young age, it seems that he is a sensible child. Here, take it and buy something to eat, and see how thin you have become. Lin Yan took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the young man.
The young man hurriedly shook his hand, "No, no, thank you." ”
"If you take it, you will take it." Lin Yan took the young man's hand and stuffed the broken silver into his hand, "Hide it carefully, don't be seen." ”
The young man's little hand clenched the broken silver, and he bowed gratefully: "Thank you, guest officer!" Thank you, guest! ”
Lin Yan waved his hand and said, "It's okay." Let's go down. ”
The young man thanked him and left the room.
Hu Qingbo glanced at the master curiously, and buried himself in eating first.
After dinner, Hu Qingbo asked, "Master, why did you give that young man silver?" ”
"It's pathetic to look at."
"No, the master didn't tell the truth."
Lin Yan smiled "haha", not wanting to explain more.
But Hu Qingbo stared at it, and he had to ask the master to give a reason.
Seeing Hu Qingbo staring at his inquisitive eyes, Lin Yan said softly: "Because his surname is Chu." ”
"Why?"
Lin Yan's thoughts were aroused, and he said softly: "The first friend I made when I came to the Tian Yuan Continent for my teacher from the Lost Land was surnamed Chu, so I can't help but have a good impression of him. ”
"Master, there are more people surnamed Chu on the mainland......"
"No, my old friend's ancestral home is in Tiger Roaring City."
"Master, are you saying that he may be your old friend's clansman, and you detoured to Tiger Roar City to find your old friend?" Hu Qingbo seemed to understand.
Lin Yan shook his head lonely, "No! She's no longer ......."
Seeing the master's lonely expression, Hu Qingbo knew that he had touched the master's sadness, so he didn't ask any more questions, and went to bed obediently to rest.
After sitting quietly for a long time, he came back to his senses, and when he saw Hu Qingbo who had fallen asleep, Lin Yan blew out the candle flame and went to bed.
Got up early, after using the breakfast sent by the young man, Lin Yan was about to go shopping on the street, when the golden snake suddenly transmitted: "Big brother, I just entered the city, have you arrived?" ”
"I just arrived yesterday, and I came to the 'Rich House' Inn, in the southeast corner, not far from the city gate. Waiting for you! Lin Yan responded excitedly.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
"Master, what's the matter? So happy. Seeing the joy on Lin Yan's face, Hu Qingbo asked.
"Really, how do you know?" Hu Qingbo asked curiously. The master's cultivation still doesn't need to respond to the stone, and I haven't heard the master speak.
Lin Yan smiled and touched Hu Qingbo's head, "Master and your uncle have telepathy. ”
"The master deceives." Hu Qingbo swung her little head to prevent Lin Yan from touching it, expressing her dissatisfaction.
Lin Yan smiled and didn't explain, walked out of the door, and waited quietly holding on to the handrail of the corridor.
After a while, a man in a blue shirt walked into the inn, three strands of black beard floating under his chin, looking at the fairy wind bones.
At this moment, in my mind, the voice of the golden snake sounded: "Big brother, I've arrived." Ah, I saw you, come up at once. At the same time, the man in the blue shirt raised his hand and waved at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan waved in response.
Soon, the man walked up to Lin Yan and clenched his fists and said, "Grandmaster Lin." ”
"Lord Meng Feng, hello, it's been hard all the way, please go into the house and talk about it." Lin Yan invited Meng Haoran into the room and closed the door casually.
As soon as he entered the house, the golden snake drilled out of Meng Haoran's neck, flew to Lin Yan's shoulder, and coiled around his head, making great affection.
"Ah......h Lin Yan saw Hu Qingbo covering his mouth with his hands, his eyes full of shock.
Lin Yan reached out and stroked the golden snake, and smiled at Hu Qingbo: "Don't be afraid, it's okay." Then he said to Meng Haoran, "Lord Meng Feng, please take a seat." ”
Meng Haoran sat down, Lin Yan pointed at Hu Qingbo and said, "This is the apprentice Hu Qingqing." Qingqing, come and give Meng Feng a salute. ”
"Qingqing meets Uncle Meng." Amber Qingbo saluted.
Meng Haoran looked dazed; Lin Yan looked embarrassed, and hurriedly corrected: "Qingqing, it's wrong, he's not your uncle, he is the peak master of the Five Holy Peaks Snake Peak, Meng Haoran and Meng Feng Lord." ”
Hu Qingbo smiled awkwardly and saw the salute again.
Brewing tea for Meng Haoran, Lin Yan said: "Lord Meng Feng, the junior brother can't use his real name here, don't blame me, you can call me Yan Yan in the future." ”
Meng Haoran suddenly said, "Understand, understand." Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, seeing the little girl on the side looking at Lin Yan with an anxious expression, Meng Haoran got up and said, "Brother Yan, I'll go down and book a room next to you first, and when we settle down, we'll talk about it later." ”
"Okay, Brother Meng is busy first." Send Meng Haoran out.
As soon as Meng Haoran went out, Hu Qingbo couldn't wait to ask: "Master, didn't you say that Uncle Shi is here, what about others?" ”
Lin Yan smiled and took the golden snake off his neck, and said to Hu Qingbo: "Qingqing, he is your uncle." ”
"Ah......h
Lin Yan said solemnly: "Qingqing, the Golden Snake has been with me since I was a child, and it is my brother in life and death, that is, your uncle, do you know?" ”
Seeing the master's serious expression, Hu Qingbo understood, and bowed respectfully to the golden snake, "Qingqing greets Uncle Shi." ”
The golden snake understood and nodded at Amber Qingbo.
