The ancient city that Xiao Cong passed through was one of the several ancient cities that were occupied, and in such a situation, it was naturally the attention of outsiders to enter the city, not to mention that this person also had a child.

Xiao Cong took Hongxiang into a luxuriously decorated restaurant, saw that there was no one in front of the cabinet, and there was no warm greeting from Xiao Er in his memory, the table and chair were covered with a thick layer of ash, he leaned over and blew a few times, and then motioned to Hongxiang to sit down together, looking at Hongxiang's dry expectant eyes, Xiao Cong sighed faintly, thinking that this guy thought that he could eat as much as before, but he was inevitably disappointed when he saw this scene.

Not long after, the middle-aged man who slowly walked out of the room with a bloated body, with a gloomy and gloomy look, and extremely weak urine, he walked to Xiao Cong's table, first let out a long sigh, and then said:

"Childe has been sitting for so long, why haven't you left, can't you see this rumored situation?"

Xiao Cong smiled brightly, and said with a hippie smile:

"See, so what? You're going to do business with the store wide open. ”

The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Cong with disgust, and said dejectedly:

"It's been all these years, and there is still any business to do, so Childe should leave quickly, so as not to be killed when the red tassel soldiers come to inspect for a while. He turned his face to the side, frowned and waved his hand impatiently,

Xiao Cong scoundrel said:

"If you want me to go, you can prepare a few specialty dishes, so that my little brother is full of food and drink, and we will leave." ”

The shopkeeper squinted at Xiao Cong and said coldly:

"The cooks have all participated in the Red Tassel Soldiers, don't mess around anymore, otherwise, don't blame you for being polite!"

Hearing this, Xiao Cong suddenly smiled, he turned his head, changed his comfortable posture, put his arms on the back of his head, and said with interest:

"Oh? ”

The shopkeeper was so angry that he was about to jump to his feet, blowing his beard and staring at it to no avail, Xiao Cong smiled unabated, raised his hand and flicked the void, and a set of tables and chairs placed not far behind the shopkeeper exploded, and after a while, the shopkeeper slowly turned his head, looked at it for a moment or two, and then turned back tremblingly, kneeling on his knees and arching his hands:

"The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he has no intention of offending the Honor, and he hopes that the Honorable will not be blamed. ”

Xiao Cong looked light, slowly raised one leg against the edge of the chair, and said with a smile:

"You can't blame it, you just have to do what I just said. ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly got up and made a promise,

"Yes, yes, the small ones will do it, this will do it!"

With that, he walked briskly to the door, closed the door tightly, and then ran to the back with him.

Xiao Cong looked at the shopkeeper after opening the door curtain and did not enter the curtain, smiled, seeing that he agreed so simply, I think there are still two brushes in cooking, and they all say that the shopkeeper who can make the restaurant business bigger is from the chef, think about it carefully, this is not false, if the owner is constrained by the cook, the business will be yellow sooner or later, but if the owner is a good cook, it will be different, whether a person can prop up the store is not to say, to avoid the chef to sit and raise the price is the most important.

Crooked eyebrows glanced at Hongxiang, who was waiting for him, and chuckled:

"Wait, I guess it will be fine in a while. ”

After a while, the shopkeeper walked out from behind the curtain with two large bowls, he gently put the two large bowls on the table in front of Xiao Cong, and said, "Your Excellency, please use it slowly." Then he hurriedly got into the curtain again, and so on and forth, the table was already full of twelve dishes and bowls, large and small, with chickens and fish, which could be described as extremely rich, and the shopkeeper stood respectfully aside, not even daring to raise his head.

Xiao Cong laughed and praised:

"Yo, it's quite fragrant, the shopkeeper's good craftsmanship, come, sit down and eat something." ”

The shopkeeper raised his head when he heard the voice, his face was full of surprise, and his head shook like a rattle:

"No, no, no, little one...... Just eaten, not hungry. ”

As he spoke, he took a step back.

Xiao Cong learned from Xingliuyun's appearance, and said with a ruffian face:

"Don't give me face, don't you, let you sit down, you sit down, why so much nonsense!"

The shopkeeper was frightened, hurriedly took a few steps forward, and sat on the round stool, stunned.

Xiao Cong picked up the chopsticks, added a piece of green vegetables and put it in his mouth, and said with pleasure while chewing:

"Well, that's good. ”

Seeing this, Hongxiang also quickly picked up the chopsticks, pinched a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth, and gently pulled, only the smooth chicken bones were left in his hands, and the minced meat held his cheeks bulging, he chewed heavily, and at the same time said vaguely:

"Well, it's delicious. ”

Xiao Cong looked funny, turned his face to the shopkeeper, and said:

"Shopkeeper, why don't you eat it, such a sumptuous delicacy, what a pity it is left, come, eat. ”

"Good, good. ”

The shopkeeper still made a promise, from picking up chopsticks to putting food in his mouth, he kept nodding his head, looking like he was unrelenting, how to look at it and feel unnatural.

Xiao Cong took a few more bites of food, looked at the dishes on the table with chopsticks, and walked through the heart:

"By the way, shopkeeper, what's going on in this city, why do the good people occupy the city and rebel?"

The shopkeeper put down his chopsticks, chewed a few times, swallowed the food in his mouth, and replied in a serious whisper:

"Your Excellency doesn't know, this matter is because of a wave of bandits who have flowed here, this group of bandits said that the Xuanzhen catastrophe is coming, the Xuanzhen royal family wants to resist the catastrophe with the life of the people to save the family's luck, the civilians are unwilling to sit still, run to the other, secretly pass the city to defend the city, and take the city in one fell swoop half a month ago, I heard that several surrounding cities have also been taken down. ”

Xiao Cong chuckled,

"Ho, does anyone believe this?"

The shopkeeper nodded earnestly,

"I heard that there are indeed many people who have seen the children of official families set up sacrifices to the lives of people, the methods are cruel, and the people and gods are angry. ”

As he spoke, he sighed.

"Then your king doesn't care about it?"

"There's not much movement yet. ”

"Where is this, and who is your king?"

"Back to the Zun, this is the territory of Puqiu Kingdom, and the king's name is Huangfu Mausoleum. ”

Xiao Congyi

After listening to the music, the curvature of the corners of his mouth became higher and higher, almost grinning at the root of his ears, and he couldn't help but laugh:

"It's him, you king has all kinds of good means, you have to be careful, or you listen to me, or you should flee quickly, lest you suffer from the disaster of the pond fish, and you will not even have to leave a whole corpse." ”

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly,

"Where to flee? The surrounding cities have been occupied, and there is a tendency to spread, I am an ordinary person, where can I flee to with my family and mouth, alas, everyone has a life, this is fate. ”

Xiao Cong picked up a piece of green vegetables and put it in his mouth, and said with a playful smile:

"Alas, it seems that the shopkeeper does not know enough about your king, forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, since the shopkeeper's mind has been decided, I will not force it, come, eat vegetables. ”

Although he ridiculed the shopkeeper for not knowing the current affairs, if he wanted to talk about the understanding of the Emperor's Mausoleum, how much more could he do than the shopkeeper? However, regarding the fall of many cities, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is a ghost that the Dugu family has secretly encountered, a person who makes the cold air jump straight to his feet, Xiao Cong believes that he will not be at a loss.

"I'd love to see what this guy can do this this time around. ”

In front of the dinner table, Xiao Cong and the shopkeeper moved chopsticks from time to time, and the posture was quite gentle, but Hongxiang, who didn't know the taste of meat for nearly a month, didn't care about this set, he was like a hungry ghost like before, feasting, duck neck in his left hand and elbow in his right hand, eating with a mouth full of oil, Xiao Cong watched and chuckled from time to time, and did not forget to fill the tea bowl that Hongxiang occasionally vacated during his own drinking, and the shopkeeper still didn't dare to move when he sat aside, and even forgot about things such as serving tea and pouring water.

After eating, Xiao Cong casually dropped a few spirit stones, and Hongxiang got up to leave, the shopkeeper was flattered to see it, and quickly got up and bowed down:

"It is the honor of the small shop to come to the small shop, and it is impossible to let it go. ”

Xiao Cong turned his head and squinted at the shopkeeper's fat face full of decay, and learned the ruffian aura of Xingliuyun:

"Is this the kind of person who eats white food? You look down on me, right?"

The shopkeeper was so frightened that his soul was scared, and he pounced, and he knelt down for Xiao Cong!

"Don't dare, don't dare, but what the Venerable Lord has given is too much, and the villain can't afford it. ”

Xiao Cong said proudly with a look of misdemeanor:

"Young Master Ben is rich, Young Master Ben is willing, the extra will be regarded as a tip for you, if you say more, it will be to look down on me!"

This loser thing is so similar that even Hongxiang, who was burping on the side, was amused.

The shopkeeper grabbed the ground with his head, buried it deeply, and said in a crying voice:

"Your Excellency ......"

was pushed back by Xiao Cong's fluttering "Huh?", and there was no sound so far.

In this way, Xiao Cong, who was two or five hundred kinds, walked in front of the shopkeeper who was kneeling on the ground with Hongxiang, who was kneeling on the ground, pushed the door and walked away, like a cheap young man with a wicked slave who smelled like him.

Out of the tavern, Hongxiang leaned over to Xiao Cong's side with great interest and giggled:

"My brother is obviously kind-hearted, but why do you want to play tricks on him like that?

Most of them are withdrawn and obedient, moody, and want to kill people one moment by giving great favors the next, and the elder brother will frighten people by doing this. ”

Xiao Cong touched his nose and said in surprise:

"And such a thing?"

"Uh-huh!"

Hongxiang nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said seriously:

"My brother is also from a wealthy family, but my brother has no bad habits, which is really surprising. ”

Xiao Cong couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this,

"What? Born in a family, must be a plaything? What kind of truth is this, let me tell you, my brother has many friends of famous and noble families, and they are all well-rooted, so I have the opportunity to introduce you to you, and use facts to correct your partial and comprehensive little brain. ”

"Is that brother who was underground before also one of them?" asked Hongxiang with a small face.

"Yes. Xiao Cong smiled and nodded.

Hongxiang scoffed and said disgustedly:

"Although that guy has a good heart, he is definitely a master who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and my brother is with him, I am afraid that sooner or later he will get into trouble. ”

Xiao Cong couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, raised his eyebrows and said:

"Oh, how so?"

Hongxiang replied with a serious face:

"Xing Liuyun, the eldest young master of the Xing family, when I inquired about the news for my brother before, this name was often heard, although the backstage is tough and the artist is bold, but that guy is too reckless, the young descendants of the major families seem to have some holidays with him, if the Xing family lets him take over in the future, it will definitely be a disaster. ”

Xiao Cong pursed the corners of his mouth, chuckled a few times as if recalling, and said:

"You haven't been in contact with him for a long time, and you don't know him well enough, although the star boss has a bit of a domineering temperament, but the good and evil in his heart are much clearer than ordinary people, take your poisoning as an example, if there is no him, I will never be able to save you alone, and you will know it after you have been in contact with him for a long time in the future." ”

Hongxiang pouted and glanced at his face, and said:

"I don't want to spend too much time with him. ”

Xiao Cong was surprised by this,

"Why?"

"He's so smart!"

Xiao Cong grinned,

"yes, the eccentric star boss, sometimes it's really difficult. ”
