Volume 1, The Wind Rises in Shu Chapter 6, Ten Mile Slope
Near noon, the sleepy Zhao Xiaotianren spoke for the first time: "Master Yu, when will the meal begin?" ”
“……”
Yu Xiaowei's eyebrows are slightly frowned, feelings are a rice bucket?
Thinking of his terrifying strength, he changed his smile again: "Don't worry, Dao Chief, there is a wine shop less than ten miles ahead." ”
Zhao Zhengli answered and began to meditate.
Yu Xiaowei frowned and asked, "Does the Taoist have a way to break the situation in this Shu land?" ”
Zhao Tianren was stunned: "Didn't the senior brother in charge say it?" Let Xiaodao push the rivers and lakes of Shu County, force out the Zhizhou too guard the hole card, and then your court will make another move. ”
Yu Xiaowei nodded: "We are separated from the Shilipo wine shop in front, where there is a group of Jianghu people summoned by my father in advance, and the follow-up Taoist will follow them to fight the bandits and stir up the rivers and lakes." ”
Zhao Zhengli looked at the beauty billet sideways and said: "Naturally, I understand that the methods of the rivers and lakes must not have people in the court." You should be cautious in the rear and collect evidence. ”
Yu Xiaowei turned her head and saw a pair of eyes as beautiful as herself, staring at herself in a daze: "How do you know?" ”
Zhao Daochang spread his hands: "Aren't they all rules?" ”
“……”
Yu Xiaowei stopped talking, perhaps because she was angry.
There was nothing to say all the way, only the sound of the horse's hooves and the axle moving forward, Zhao Zhengli sometimes meditated, sometimes looked sideways at the scenery outside, obviously not as good as the beauty of the sedan chair, so the two took into account the alternating appreciation.
The road was also winding and rugged, and some sections of the road were too narrow, almost on the cliffs, and he could understand why food was so expensive in the coastal areas of Liangguang and Guangzhou.
Shili Slope is said to be a slope, but it is actually a mountain col, but it is located in the ridge of the mountain.
It used to be dark here. shop, seven or eight years ago, robbed and killed a disciple of the Jianghu sect, and then was served by the elders of that sect. Because of its location on the main road, the sect took over this place and became one of the few taverns in Shu.
Today's Shilipo wine shop cannot be said to be fair and beneficial to the people, but it is only blacker. The store is a little better, at least it won't harm people's lives, things are a little more expensive, and they have to be taken by those who are willing to take the bait, and they are not forced to buy and sell.
A group of people to Shilipo the sun began to go west, the wine shop is very lively, gather all kinds of people, the rivers and lakes are the majority, the mountain col is built with a wooden three-storey restaurant and a stone house courtyard, surrounded by a stone wall, a guard tower, and the banner of "Shilipo Tavern" is hung above, which is very eye-catching in this barren mountain road.
As the Yu family and his party entered the wine shop, people from all walks of life looked sideways, the extravagant sedan chair, the ironclad knights with cold and neat steps, and all kinds of bright swords, guns and halberds, this lineup could understand that it was the official family at a glance.
The shopkeeper hurriedly introduced the convoy into the inner courtyard, Xiao Er unloaded the sedan chair and took away the five-flowered horse, Li Zhanyi led Zhao Zhengli into the private room prepared in advance, and Yu Xiaowei and the ironclad knight entered another courtyard, obviously opening up the distance in advance.
More than ten people from the rivers and lakes gathered in the private room, Li Zhanyi introduced the Taoist chief Zhao Zhengli, and everyone focused their eyes on the young Taoist priest in a Taoist robe.
Zhao Daochang returned the salute and looked at more than ten people in the rivers and lakes, there were five big and three thick strong men with sticks, thin monkeys with double hooks in their skin and bones, and the only normal man with a few swords and swords, which surprised Zhao Daochang that there were two women at the back, although they were wearing veils, they could see that they belonged to the decisive generation of killing.
After introducing Li Zhanyi, he beckoned everyone to take a seat, and then explained that Xiao Er's wine and meat were enough to cover the door and leave.
Zhao Zhengli didn't see it politely, and found a chair to sit down and eat with everyone.
When he spotted a piece of chicken leg and twisted up his chopsticks to get his hands on it, he was snatched by a strong man, and the young Zhao Daochang grinned and passed by, and grabbed another chicken leg by another thin man.
He is still kind and grinning, but he is a little unhappy in his heart, these people in the rivers and lakes are too unruly, do they have to rob them of food?
When he was confused, a middle-aged man accosted: "I'm afraid that the Taoist chief doesn't understand the rules of the rivers and lakes?" When you meet for the first time, you naturally have to show your skills to see if you can be qualified to sit and drink together? ”
The young Zhao Zhengli also said when he heard this, it turns out that the rivers and lakes are the same as the mountain gates?
Then he gave a Taoist bow to everyone: "I asked!" ”
After finishing speaking, he twisted the chopsticks and took the chicken leg directly on the table, the strong man wanted to snatch it again, Zhao Daochang's wrist exerted force, and the strong man only felt a huge shock in his fingers, and the chopsticks fell off without being called.
The middle-aged man thought that the strong man deliberately released water, and reached out with chopsticks to snatch it in the air, but the other party was as stable as a rock, and no matter how he poured his true qi, he couldn't pull it back.
I saw that the other party was extremely easy and natural to put the chicken thighs back into the bowl.
The middle-aged man looked at the white and handsome face and gradually showed a look of horror, because he had no trouble reading it from the other party's face.
The onlookers at the table are also dignified, and the strength of the middle-aged man and the strong man naturally knows that one makes a good swordsmanship, and the other wields a good stick, and the two of them are also very good, but when they meet the young Taoist, they can't hinder it in the slightest, and the key is that the Taoist priest has not moved the slightest true qi from beginning to end.
Inferring from the realm alone, the middle-aged man and the strong man are around the middle grade of the little grandmaster, and they are also considered the mainstay in the rivers and lakes.
They also dared to think about the grandmaster, and soon vetoed it again, because the difference between the little grandmaster and the grandmaster is a world of difference in the realm, and it requires a deeper understanding and perception of the "Dao".
Some people have stopped at the realm of the little grandmaster all their lives, that is, they have a wrong understanding of the Dao, they don't think that this young Taoist priest can realize any deep avenues, at most they can only be estimated at the peak of the little grandmasters, but this is still a demonic figure, after all, they are too young, and they will have enough time to become a unique grandmaster in the next few decades, comprehend the Dao, and operate the majestic true qi.
Only then did the thin man come out to play a round: "Acquaintance is fate, and Xiaodao is good at it." ”
"You're welcome, eat quickly! The dishes are cold. ”
The young Daochang Zhao was not at ease, grinning kindly and giving up his hands to everyone, and then beckoned everyone to eat.
The eyes of the crowd looked at him changed subtly.
To everyone's surprise, this young Daochang Zhao was actually not afraid of wine and meat, eating more fiercely than a strong man, and drinking like a whale swallowing a cow, so happy.
Seeing this, the strong man picked up the wine bowl and toasted to him: "The Taoist is handsome and good-looking, and he is also good at kung fu, and eating and drinking is not like those cow-nosed and bald donkeys pretending. Just now, Lao Yue had no eyes, and he took wine here to make amends, and I did it. ”
After speaking, the strong man drank it all, Zhao Daochang chewed the meat in his mouth, swallowed the wine bowl in his hand, and entered the stomach along with the wine and meat.
Another thin man also raised the bowl: "Daoist, we first got acquainted, but I can see that I am a person of temperament when I eat and drink with you, and I also respect you with a bowl." ”
Zhao Daochang still swallowed in response.
The middle-aged man who had just grabbed the chicken leg with him also made amends for his sins and got closer.
The atmosphere was driven by a few people pushing cups and changing lamps, and the two women in the field were eating quietly, and they were not affected by a few people at all.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of meat, everyone was full one after another, the young Zhao Daochang and the strong man Lao Yue ate and drank to the end, Lao Yue was burly, and the amount of wine and meat could be understood, but this young Zhao Daochang was handsome and white, and he didn't look like a horn who could eat and drink? But at the end of eating, it is no less than the strong man Lao Yue, this amount of food is really amazing.
After eating and drinking, everyone stayed at the wine shop that night, and waited for the official start of the mission on the second day.
