Volume 2: The Gentleman's Sword Tries His Skills, and the Three Puritans Begin to Reveal Mystery (Chapter 5 of the Explosion) Chapter 5 of Volume 2: The Starving Ghost

At this time, Chang'an City Huayue Inn was on the third floor of the upper room.

"Laughing books, laughing books...... Wake up. Zhang Qianjun pushed Jiang Xiaoshu, who was asleep, and Jiang Xiaoshu snorted a few times impatiently, then closed his eyes and muttered:

"Hmm...... I'm sleepy, stop screaming, go tell the old man that I'm sick and won't go to morning class today......"

Zhang Qianjun looked helpless, grabbed Jiang Xiaoshu's ears, and twisted it hard, finally making the sleepy insect open his eyes, Zhang Qianjun looked at Jiang Xiaoshu's pair of godless eyes with a headache, and said:

"Senior brother, sober up quickly, we have been in Chang'an for several days, and you still think that you are still in the Heavenly Gate, and you still want me to help you trick the master into skipping the morning class?"

Jiang Xiaoshu had saliva marks on the corners of his mouth, his mouth was slightly open, and he saw that he was desperately raising his eyebrows, and his forehead was squeezed out of the folds, but the eyelids were still drooping and not moving, squinting half-deadly, he shook his head, nodded and said:

"Uh-huh...... Chang'an, and then what? ”

张運君 says:

"I'm going to go to Hanzhong County to find evidence of Han Fu's collaboration with the enemy and traitor who stayed there, I should have gone with you, but I have another important matter, it is inconvenient to take you and Han Fu, it is said that the 'Sanqing' rebel party is ready to move, and wants to rob Han Fu, so you stay here, watch him, don't run around, drink less, cause less trouble, I will come back in five days, and then we will escort people back to Beijing to resume their lives, understand?"

Jiang Xiaoshu was still drooping his eyelids, Zhang Qianjun asked him if he understood, he nodded, and repeated:

"Uh-huh, got it......"

Zhang Qianjun nodded, then said no more, and turned to leave.

Jiang Xiaoshu drooped his eyelids and sat on the bed, as if he didn't feel Zhang Qianjun leaving, and continued to say vaguely:

"Hmm...... I know, I know, you want to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and within five days, come back with the Sanqing rebel party and drink with me. ”

Then he said to himself:

"Damn, wake me up early in the morning, just for such a little shit, can't you wait for me to wake up? Hmmm......"

Halfway through that, he fell down again, almost as soon as his head touched the pillow, and he fell asleep again.

Moments later......

Jiang Xiaoshu's heart jumped suddenly, his eyes opened immediately, and then he jumped up as if he had been pricked by a needle, and looked around, only to see Han Fu, who was tied up by five flowers, sitting in the corner and sleeping soundly, and Zhang Qianjun's bed was empty.

"Ouch!" , Jiang Xiaoshu sighed in annoyance, and said secretly in his heart:

"Really gone? Damn it, isn't this-this a big deal that spoils me? When he leaves, he throws Han Fu to me, how can I escape? Can't let Sanqing go back to the capital empty-handed after robbing people, and let the emperor cut off his elm head, right? Alas...... Lao Tzu has been planning for more than half a month, my freedom, my Jiangnan, my Jiangnan beauty, eh? Beauty......"

Jiang Xiaoshu sat on the bed, his mind was spinning, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, and the chagrin on his face immediately disappeared, and he laughed instead.

Then he stretched, then went down to the ground to freshen up, checked whether the rope that bound Han Fu was strong, and then used his heavy finger force to make up for several acupoints on Han Fu's acupoints, and then slowly opened the door and went downstairs.

As soon as I got downstairs, a guy from the store came up:

"Jiang Gongzi, are you awake? The young man Zhang who had just gone out just now asked the little one to pass a message to you. ”

"Oh? What words? ”

"Zhang Gongzi said, you have something important to do, don't be greedy."

"Oh, I see." Jiang Xiaoshu responded casually, and then took out a few copper plates from his bosom and threw them to the guy:

"Your bounty."

"Thank you Gongzi Jiang, the little one is retiring, and I don't bother you." The guy happily took the copper plate and was about to turn around and leave, but Jiang Xiaoshu grabbed him again.

Jiang Xiaoshu took out a small ingot of silver from his bosom, handed it over again, and then said with a smile:

"Go and get me a small pot of Xifeng wine, and then take care of some food, and you can keep the rest."

The guy took the ingot of silver, and when he weighed it, he knew that there were about one or two, thinking that the pot of Xifeng wine plus the meal, the most expensive was only about 900 yuan, and he could still have about 100 yuan left, which was a big reward, so he took the silver with a smile, and ran to the back kitchen. As for the previous Gongzi let him tell him not to drink...... He didn't give the reward, he had already brought his own words, where could he take care of so much?

But as soon as he ran two steps, he seemed to remember something, and turned his head to Jiang Xiaoshu with a bitter face, and said:

"Jiang Gongzi, I'm sorry for you, you change to a different bar, our Xifeng wine is sold out."

Jiang Xiaoshu scolded with a smile:

"your fart, when I came to Chang'an to live in your store, it was precisely because you were the only one in the entire Chang'an who had the most authentic Xifeng wine, how did you blow it? Yes, it's clear but not light, it's thick but not gaudy, and I still have a big jar when I drank it, do you take wine to bathe? Gone so soon? ”

The fellow rubbed his hands together and said:

"It's strange to say, today when the sky is not yet full, I went to open the store, just removed the door panel, I saw a strange person standing straight outside the door, I didn't open my mouth, he handed me a thing, I took it and looked, it was really startled, guess what? It's actually a heavy gold leaf. Before I could speak, he opened his mouth and said that a jar of wine and three catties of cooked beef should be good, and the sooner the better. ”

"When I saw the gold leaf, I didn't dare to make my own opinion, and I said that I would take the gold leaf and hurriedly call the shopkeeper to get up, but as soon as I came back, the man was gone, and the back kitchen was missing a few catties of beef, and the jar of Xifeng wine that was used as a signboard at the door was gone...... I thought that the gold leaf he gave me was fake, and he lured me away and stole it, but the shopkeeper said that the gold leaf was indeed real. ”

After hearing this, Jiang Xiaoshu quipped:

"A piece of gold leaf can buy all the beef in your back kitchen and all the wine in the wine cellar, people are clearly the God of Wealth, why do you still scold others for blaming? Isn't this cheap and good? ”

The fellow waved his hand and said:

"No, Gongzi Jiang. You don't know, the person is wearing a veil, as if she is a woman, but at this moment in the summer of June, how hot it is, she is still covered with a thick coat, and I only need to look at the big coat to know that even if I wear it in the middle of winter, it will be hot and sweaty. And there was no one else around when she came, a weak woman, how could she move most of the half jar of Xifeng wine that was about 300 catties in such a few breaths? Finally, as you said, how expensive is that gold leaf, why don't we wait for us to come and redeem the silver, and then disappear without a trace? ”

Jiang Xiaoshu listened, his eyes moved, but he quipped:

"Maybe she's a starving ghost reincarnated. That's why she was in such a hurry to find food, and when she found food, she turned back into the prototype and went back to her nest. ”

Although the man who has always been timid and afraid has never seen a real ghost, when he thinks about the man he met this morning, he is strangely dressed and dead, but he is very different. The guy couldn't help but shudder, and then said to Jiang Xiaoshu:

"Jiang Gongzi, don't scare the villain...... Then again, there is no Xifeng wine now, you can drink something else, the villain is coming. ”

Jiang Xiaoshu waved his hand and said:

"No need, I'm going to go out, I'll keep this money for lunch."

After speaking, Jiang Xiaoshu walked out of the door, looked around slightly, frowned, and strode in a certain direction.
