Chapter 137: There is sweat medicine in the wine
Wan Yanxi patiently waited for Gu Shengchao to come back, listened to him tell the whole incident, and also had a strong interest in this Tianqing Gang.
"Ordinary sects and gangs have an obvious relationship between superiors and subordinates, and they are related to management, but this Tianqing Gongzi is confusing. Let's say that he has a high position, and he was killed by you, but if you want to say that he has a low position, he can still command a team of dozens of people, which is really hard to guess. ”
Gu Shengchao turned off the lights: "Let's sleep first, let him make trouble after resting, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, there is always a way." ”
Saying this, where can Gu Shengchao sleep soundly, he is afraid that Tianqing will help those people return to the inn, which will be detrimental to the people of Zhuang Lutao, and he is always worried when he is half asleep and half awake.
Fortunately, God fulfilled the wish, and the night was safe.
Everyone didn't rest well last night, and everyone didn't get up and wash up until the third pole of the day.
After packing up, Zhuang Lutao made a difficulty.
Shui Linglong invited them to drink last night, and did not make it clear who they were, it should refer to him and Gu Shengchao, and did not say that he should bring his own people.
But this is not a safe place, it is still a place of right and wrong, and if the people are in trouble again, I am afraid it will not be as smooth as last night.
After thinking about it, Zhuang Lutao came to Gu Shengchao to discuss: "I have a clan that can't leave, so I won't go at noon, Brother Gu and Elder Shui drink freely, and explain the situation for me by the way." ”
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to go alone, Elder Shui made it clear last night, people sincerely invite, don't let her down." Gu Shengchao felt that it was inappropriate not to go.
Zhuang Lutao was worried: "The clansmen around me are all old and weak, women and children, and they all brought them to drink to make Elder Shui laugh, so it's better not to go." ”
Wan Yanxi, who was sitting next to him and listening, interjected: "When I was in Beihu, whenever the clansmen invited guests to drink, the more the better, I was afraid that there would be few people who came, and everyone would talk and laugh together. I'm a blind man who can't walk, and if Brother Gu goes to the appointment, he has to take me with him, otherwise I'm alone. ”
Looking at Yan Xi's smiling expression, Gu Shengchao suddenly understood, turned to Zhuang Lutao and said, "Otherwise, my sister has to follow if she is unable to move, and she doesn't care about a few more people, so let's go together." Elder Shui is reasonable, and he must be able to understand. Maybe we'll all go, and she'll be happier when there are more people. ”
Zhuang Lutao had no choice but to agree, and took his clan and Gu Shengchao to the restaurant together.
Huaming City is not big, and the road is not far, several people walked together, and soon came to the agreed Tianfeng Restaurant.
Shui Linglong greeted everyone at the door early, and was happy to see everyone coming to Tewai, so she led a few people to the reserved window position on the second floor to sit down with the guests.
The two elders were in the center, Shui Linglong and Gu Shengchao were next to each other, Wan Yanxi was next to them, and Zhuang Lutao and the rest of his clan were sitting opposite.
Wine and meat were served one after another, and everyone drank happily.
During the banquet, Gu Shengchao asked curiously, "Brother Zhuang returned to the clan, why did he come here again?" ”
Zhuang Lutao sighed: "Don't mention it, we are also forced to do so." ”
He took a sip of wine and said, "When I go back, the village with green waters and green mountains has become a ruin. Half of the village was destroyed and the other half was in danger, and many villagers were buried in the soil and could not be rescued, so they had to sleep there. ”
"When our homes were destroyed, the patriarch had no choice but to lead the rest of us villagers to find suitable shelters. A hundred miles away from Huaming City, there is a mountain col halfway up the mountain, and the surrounding mountains are used as barriers and there is spring water in the middle to grow crops, which is a rare retreat, and we settled down there. ”
"When we first arrived, it took time for crops to grow, and we had to hunt and gather wild fruit every day to survive. One day, the Tianqing Gang also found it, relying on their large number of people and martial arts skills, and forced us to move. I was angry and fought with them, but the heroes were too strong to fight with four hands, and they kidnapped the five people around me and fled. I was worried about their safety, so I found them all the way. ”
Zhuang Lutao talked about the past, the past of suffering was unbearable, the more he talked, the more sad and angry he became, and then he couldn't talk about it.
Shui Linglong saw that the scene was a little dull, picked up the wine bowl and said, "Come, drink." ”
She continued: "I came to investigate the Tianqing Gang on the order of Yunqi Palace, and Brother Zhuang was besieged by the Tianqing Gang that day, and I helped by the way to meet them. Since they have a ten-day appointment, we will do what we want, Brother Zhuang went to the appointment on time to attract their attention, I secretly saved people, and the successful completion of the matter is also worth celebrating. ”
"Yes, it's really gratifying and congratulatory good news, killing Tianqing Gongzi, the Tianqing Gang has been relieved of future troubles." Gu Shengchao raised the wine bowl to congratulate them.
Shui Linglong pouted and smiled: "Brother Gu is thinking simply, do you guess how many Tianqing princes I killed?" ”
"How many?" Gu Shengchao sensed the unusual tone in Shui Linglong's words, stretched out a finger and asked, "Isn't it the one from last night?" ”
Waving her hand, Shui Linglong stretched out two fingers: "Plus the one from last night, I have already killed two of them through my hands, the whereabouts of the Tianqing Gang are secretive, who knows how many Tianqing sons there are, we haven't even figured out who is behind them, don't be too happy." ”
"How can this be, I didn't seem to have heard of it last time I came to the Sirleng Country, how it suddenly became the climate." Gu Shengchao didn't know what to do.
Shui Linglong picked up the wine bowl: "Let's drink today to be happy, let's not say these frustrating words, drink." ”
"Drink!"
"Drink!"
Everyone unanimously agreed with Shui Linglong's attitude and raised the wine bowl one after another.
Unconsciously, the two jars of wine were drunk, and Shui Linglong asked Xiao Er to continue the wine.
Wan Yanxi sensed something unusual, dipped her fingers in the tea, and wrote two words on the desktop in front of Gu Shengchao: "Someone." ”
Touched the bottom with his finger.
Gu Shengchao knew that there was a situation downstairs.
His perception was not as complete as Wan Yanxi's, and he could only find that there were indeed many people downstairs, including many masters.
The two communicated silently for an instant, Shui Linglong saw it in her eyes, and she pricked up her ears to distinguish the sound coming from the staircase.
As if a little drunk, Wan Yanxi staggered to the staircase.
"What's wrong with my sister?" Shui Linglong walked over to help her.
Wan Yanxi held the guardrail at the staircase with both hands, and said uncomfortably: "I have a headache, and the wind here is strong for me to blow the wind." ”
"Go back, it will be more uncomfortable if the wind blows, beware of colds and colds." Shui Linglong said while observing below, she was not stupid, since Wan Yanxi could detect the abnormality downstairs, she must have a reason to come here.
Under the coverage of the field of vision, I could just see the shopkeeper holding a jar of wine and walking out of the kitchen quickly.
When he went up the stairs, he even twisted happily as he walked, and the wine jar dangled in his arms.
"Guest officer, the wine is here, go back quickly, be careful of falling here." The shopkeeper kindly reminded.
Shui Linglong explained: "Let's go back, my companion is drunk and wants to sober up here." ”
The shopkeeper was noncommittal, first put down the wine jar, opened the mud seal, and returned to support Yan Xi back to his seat.
"A few people drink slowly, at this time, the self-brewed wine in our restaurant has a lot of repeat customers, so please use it slowly." The shopkeeper introduced with a smile.
By the way, he poured wine into everyone's wine bowl, and boasted to himself: "The wine in our restaurant, I guarantee that you drink it for the first time and want to come a second time." ”
"Is it so fragrant, don't lie to us." Gu Shengchao felt that he was boasting.
"The guest officer will know after drinking, the small one is to say that a few masters don't drink it if they have a dry mouth, I won't introduce it in vain." The shopkeeper encouraged them to drink.
Gu Shengchao sniffed, the wine was fragrant, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good wine." ”
He was about to drink, but was stopped by Wan Yanxi: "Big Brother Gu, wait a minute." ”
She got up and said to the shopkeeper: "The little second brother is running upstairs and downstairs hard, since this wine is so delicious, the little woman will give you a bowl first, and show a little gratitude." ”
Wan Yanxi said, and brought the wine bowl to the shopkeeper.
At this time, although it was early winter, cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the shopkeeper.
"Is the little brother uncomfortable?" Gu Shengchao asked with concern.
The shopkeeper wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and said in a hurry: "It's a little uncomfortable, you drink, I'll go down first and not accompany you." ”
Shui Linglong thought of Xiao Er's actions when he went upstairs, and she was also suspicious, so she stopped him and said, "No, I was very excited when I saw you going upstairs just now, and you twisted and twisted, the wine jar shook badly, and I was afraid of spilling our wine." ”
The elder sitting next to him said: "The mud sealed in your wine jar is not right, it is smooth and delicate in the natural shade, and there is a strong aroma of wine. ”
"Where did these many things come from, our restaurant has been inherited for hundreds of years, everyone is here for our wine, you don't know the goods, but you don't know the goods, you actually slander our wine, don't sell your wine to drink."
The shopkeeper began to get annoyed, picked up the wine jar and was about to leave.
Gu Shengchao swept past him, and with a light turn, he lifted up the wine jar and took it away, and the shopkeeper went to catch it, but he pounced and almost fell.
Putting the wine jar on the table, Gu Shengchao picked up two bowls of wine, handed a bowl to the shopkeeper and said, "If you don't give us such a delicious wine, do you look down on us?" Come on, let's do one. ”
He didn't wait for the shopkeeper to agree, so he drank it all by himself.
"Brother Gu, why are you so reckless, they put medicine in the wine." Wan Yanxi wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
The shopkeeper took a few steps back, not daring to pick up the wine at the door, just staring at Gu Shengchao worriedly.
"This wine really has sweat medicine."
Gu Shengchao's eyes were confused, and as soon as he sent the wine bowl to the ground, he fell to pieces. He staggered a few steps and fell backwards.
Fortunately, Zhuang Lutao was quick and quick, and he rushed over with an arrow to support his back, so as not to fall straight upright.
"Fall on one, down on one." The shopkeeper ran towards the staircase, shouting as he ran.
In an instant, more than a dozen people with their own swords swarmed up, surrounding Shui Linglong and them in a corner of the second floor.
There are still people downstairs to prepare, but the space is small and inconvenient to come up, so I have to answer below.
