Chapter 46: Tokens
Ren Xiaoyao and "Ah Sheng" walked side by side and went to the Star Picking Tower.
The Starfall Tower, located in the northwest corner of Starfall County, was built close to the city wall. The building is three stories high, the height is higher than the city wall, if you stand on the third floor, you can see the large fields outside the city, as well as the red flame forest in the distance! This is also the largest and most high-end restaurant in the county, and the consumption grade is naturally very high. In order to be able to convince the other party and testify to himself, Ren Xiaoyao can be regarded as having made a profit.
Along the way, Ah Sheng was spitting and talking nonsense, and there was almost no time to stop. And Ren Xiaoyao can only respond with simple words such as "um" and "ha". He can't wait to stay away from Ah Sheng, because this guy is so good at talking, coupled with his strange appearance, he will become the focus of everyone wherever he goes.
endured all the way, Ren Xiaoyao was almost collapsed, and finally got to the Star Picking Tower.
"Shopkeeper, greet with delicious food and drink, you must hurry up!" As soon as he entered the Star Picking Tower, Ren Xiaoyao didn't even choose a seat, so he shouted at the shopkeeper. Because as long as the wine and food come up, Ah Sheng's mouth can be blocked.
The two of them went straight up to the third floor and chose a window seat.
Outside the window, outside the city of Starfall County, a large expanse of wilderness dotted with sparse shrubs. There is also the Red Flame Forest in the distance, which exudes mystery and vitality. I have to say that eating and drinking under such a view will make you have a better appetite.
And at this point, Ah Sheng finally fell silent, Ren Yao glanced at him, and found that he was looking at the railing, looking at the field outside the city wall.
Suddenly, Ah Chang sighed, "Ah! what a beautiful view...... Brother Ren, I have an impulse at this moment, I really want to chant a poem!"
"Uh...... Is it?" Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. He seems to have foreseen how strange Ah Sheng's poem will be. He prayed in his heart: Don't read it, don't read it, don't read it......
However, Ah Sheng decisively disappointed him.
Ah Sheng leaned on the railing alone, and a commotion rippled on his ugly face, which seemed to be brewing poetry in his heart. Suddenly, Ah Sheng took a deep breath and said:
"There are so many delicate ......
Just like a beautiful woman's small waist......
Hug and hug......
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful......"
When he said "hug, hug", he rubbed his hand against the window, revealing an intoxicated expression, as if he was caressing the waist of a beautiful woman.
"Poof!"
Ren Xiaoyao listened to this "poem" and almost squirted out, so he quickly restrained himself and covered his mouth.
But in his heart, Ren Xiaoyao secretly admired: If he can chant poems like this, this guy can be regarded as a "lewd talent".
At this time, several beautiful waitresses walked towards the table of the two with wine and food. It is worthy of being the most upscale restaurant in Starfall County, not to mention the fast speed of serving, even the "shopkeepers" are all beauties.
Seeing that the wine and food were all over the table, Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly beckoned: "Come on, Brother Asheng, let's have a drink!" As he said that, he poured a full glass of wine and motioned to drink with the other party.
Ah Sheng also poured the wine and smiled obscenely: "Ahaha, cheers!"
As he spoke, the two clinked glasses and drank them all at the same time.
In order to block the other party's nonsensical mouth, after Ren Xiaoyao drank all a cup, he didn't stop and poured another cup: "Come again!"
Unexpectedly, Ah Sheng was unequivocal, also poured a full glass of wine, and drank it all as soon as he raised his head. At the same time, he also smiled heartily: "Hahaha, good wine! I haven't drunk so much with someone for a long time, the third cup!"
Before the words fell, he picked up the cup again and took the initiative to drink with Ren Xiaoyao.
......
In this way, before the two of them moved their chopsticks, they poured down a glass of wine, and drank seven or eight glasses before stopping. At this point, Ren Xiaoyao's impression of Ah Sheng has changed a little: although he acts very obscenely, the wine is very good!
As the saying goes, "wine is like character", after seeing Ah Sheng drinking so boldly, Ren Xiaoyao faintly felt that the strange-looking and obscene guy in front of him didn't seem to be so bad.
After seven or eight cups, the two stopped changing cups and began to eat and drink at the same time. At the same time, the original small wine glass was also removed by them and replaced with a large bowl with a capacity of half a catty! This bowl went down, and ordinary people were afraid that they would get drunk directly, but these two guys actually drank one bowl after another, as if they were drinking cold water.
Slightly drunk.
The two of them began to talk to each other.
Ren Xiaoyao found that Ah Sheng's character is indeed like wine, he is a very bold guy, and his words are very funny, many times he pretends to be obscene, just to make people laugh. This way of ridiculing oneself will feel obscene at first, but after talking a lot, it feels very pleasing, which makes people feel that when they get along with him, they are extremely relaxed and interesting.
Regarding Ah Sheng's information, Ren Xiaoyao also knew a little more. He came from Tiandu, the capital of the Great Xia Emperor's court, and according to his own words, it seems that he came from a small family, as for which family it is, it is not explained. He stayed in Starfall County this time, and he was indeed ordered by Generalissimo Du Qianfan to continue to inspect the border passes here. Du Qianfan gave him the position of "centurion", which could theoretically manage a hundred soldiers, but in reality, he had no subordinates under him, and he was regarded as the lowest-ranking and most powerless officer......
What's strange is that during the banquet, Ren Xiaoyao repeatedly asked Ah Sheng's full name, but Ah Sheng didn't tell him. And under Ren Xiaoyao's questioning, Ah Sheng repeatedly flashed his words, and even his cheeks were red, as if the matter of "name" made him very faceless......
This made Ren Xiaoyao a little curious: What is the full name of "Ah Sheng"?
Can a name that can make Ah Sheng's cheeks flush with such a cheeky face be more bizarre than his appearance?
Of course, the content of the conversation between the two also included Ren Xiaoyao's original purpose - to ask Ah Sheng to be his witness. For this request, Ah Sheng agreed without hesitation, and he patted his chest and promised that he would definitely help Ren Xiaoyao do a beautiful job and let him swagger back to the family.
Ah Sheng said: "You can rest assured, the matter of helping you clear your name will be on me." When the time comes, I don't need you to come forward, I promise to let those elders of your family carry you back in a sedan chair!"
Regarding Ah Sheng's statement, Ren Xiaoyao was skeptical. However, he can be sure that as long as Ah Sheng reveals his identity and comes forward to testify, it will be no problem to help him clear his name. When the time comes, Ren Huwei and Ren Humeng's accounts of framing themselves and spreading rumors will also be settled!
......
The two talked happily and drank several jars of wine before they knew it. Just when the two of them were about to drink and wanted to leave, a noisy laughter came from downstairs, accompanied by a "da-da" sound of going upstairs.
Hearing the laughter coming from downstairs, Ren Xiaoyao frowned, because he heard the owner of the voice. Among the few people who came up, there happened to be Ren Huwei and Ren Humeng!
He was all too familiar with the voices of the two brothers.
"Brother Ah Sheng, among the few people who came up in a while, there were two masterminds who spread rumors and framed me! I can't let them see it now, so I can only avoid it. ”
Ren Xiaoyao whispered a few words to Ah Sheng, and at the same time quickly put on his cloak. Since he came out of Ren's mansion, in order to prevent being discovered by Ren's family, he has prepared this cloak in case of emergency. His current identity is a "traitor" and "sinner" of the Ren family, and if he is discovered by the Ren family, he will definitely be arrested and questioned.
Ah Sheng nodded, didn't say anything, just quietly looked at the few people who came up.
After a while, Ren Huwei and the others came to the third floor, and happened to be sitting at the table next to Ren Xiaoyao, also by the window. There were five of them in total, in addition to the two brothers Huwei and Humeng, there were also two men and one woman, and Ren Xiaoyao saw through the gap in the cloak that the other two men and one woman were all elites from different families when they entered the Starfall Land that day.
As soon as the five of them sat down, they first ordered some wine and food, and while waiting for the food, they began to chat. Ren Xiaoyao was not interested in the content of their chat, but when he heard Ren Huwei's first sentence, he couldn't help but cheer up.
Ren Huwei smiled and said: "Hehe, three, about Ren Xiaoyao, please leave it to you, if someone from our Ren family asks, you must not say the wrong thing." ”
The three of them responded one after another: "Don't worry, two young masters Ren, we know what to say." When the time comes, I promise to let Ren Yao be speechless, and he can't wash himself by jumping into the Yellow River! haha......"
"That's good, thank you so much for your help. When our brother inherits the position of head of the family, there will be a great reward. ”
"Where, Brother Huwei is serious, we are just telling a small lie, not enough to thank you. ”
......
Listening to the conversation between these five people, Ren Xiaoyao became more and more angry the more he listened, and his anger rose.
Ren Huwei and Ren Humeng, the two guys, are actually buying their credentials and letting those guys who go to the Starfall Land lie for them!
It is conceivable that if these people have the same caliber and insist that Ren Xiaoyao is a traitor, betrayed the Great Xia Imperial Court and took refuge in the Xiliang Kingdom, Ren Xiaoyao's crime will be completely confirmed. At that time, I am afraid that he will not only become a sinner of the Ren family, but also a sinner of the imperial court, and it is not an exaggeration to be directly executed!
"These two scum, it's really a death!"
Ren Xiaoyao sighed angrily in his heart, and he had an urge to kill immediately. However, there are many eyes and ears here, and it is not a place to kill people.
Ah Sheng on the side saw everything in his eyes and listened to it. He didn't say anything until he suddenly stood up and walked to the next table.
He walked straight up to the five of them, and smiled symbolically, his obscene appearance was so eye-catching that people couldn't pay attention to it. Ren Huwei and the other five all looked at Ah Sheng, and Ah Sheng also spoke at this time: "Everyone, you should recognize me, right?"
The five of them stared at Ah Sheng, and his strange appearance became an advantage at this time-I saw that the five of them nodded at the same time, and said one after another: "Recognize it, we recognize you!"
"Aren't you Marshal Du Qianfan's subordinate? When you first entered the Red Flame Forest, you were among your peers. ”
"That's right, you and General Fu Lei, each of them are masters, and they are too impressive to me......"
Ah Sheng's appearance is so strange that it directly leads to the fact that these five people are the same as Ren Xiaoyao, and after seeing him once, they will keep it firmly in their hearts.
"If only you knew me. Hehe, to tell you the truth, I was ordered by Marshal Du Qianfan to stay and continue to select and inspect the younger generation of Starfall County. I have the right to directly recommend the subjects of the inspection to the military and let them become generals. As he spoke, Ah Sheng proudly hugged his shoulders, looking high.
When the five people heard this, they all looked at each other, and they were skeptical of Ah Sheng's words.
Ren Humeng asked, "Really fake, you have so much power?"
Ah Sheng didn't say anything, but put a hand into his arms, and groped for a long time before taking it out. At the same time, in his hand, there was an additional golden token.
On the token, a tiger is depicted on one side, and the tiger is lifelike, very imposing, as if it is alive. On the other side, it is simply engraved with a seal character -
- Du!
In an instant, the eyes of the five people on the opposite side widened, and they even rubbed their eyes in disbelief. After a long time, they looked excited and stammered:
Du ...... Marshal Du's general order?!See the token, such as Marshal Du's deity......"
"You can mobilize the imperial army, order local officials, and see ......the emperor without kneeling."
"Hmph, do you believe it now?" Ah Sheng said proudly, raising his chin.
At this moment, his strange face completely changed in the eyes of the five people--Is this face ugly? No, it is definitely not ugly! This face is clearly the face of a superior person......
