Recruiting Friends to Fight Ten Thousand Demons Chapter 30: Xu Shanling, the lord of Shanggu City
In a month and a half, Qi Taichu and they only arrived in Shanggu, and the groom was also tired and had a lot of gray hair, and when he arrived in Shanggu, he could be regarded as resting for a while.
Qi Taichu and they swayed and got out of the car, Xiao Huang was a little unable to distinguish between the southeast and northwest in Qi Taichu's palm, in the past forty days, Xiao Huang has grown up a lot, Qi Taichu has been holding one hand for a long time and still has a sour feeling, so he let it jump on his shoulder and stand, but he is always swaying and always worried about whether it will fall off.
The reason why you get off the carriage before entering the city is because there is a custom in this upper valley, that is, everyone who enters the city must drink a bowl of wine to enter the city, drink a bowl of wine to enter the city, and it is rumored that drinking a cup of wine can take an inferior order to enter the city, three cups can be medium, and five cups can be taken of the upper class. If you can't finish a drink, you can only get off your horse and go into the city. The effect of this entry order, the inferior can be rewarded with a 20% discount, the medium reward is 6% off, and the upper class can be rewarded with a 5% discount.
When this policy was promulgated, there were many people who thought that their destiny was extraordinary to challenge here, but most of them were drunk and unconscious after drinking the first and second cups, few people could drink three cups, and only fifty people could drink five cups.
This policy is to increase the economic income of the city, but it is not for nothing, it costs a tael of silver to drink, and many people are over-believing that they can drink three glasses or a few glasses, but many of them can't finish one glass.
Although one tael of silver is not a lot, but it is not a little, the average person can only earn two taels of silver a month, even if this glass of wine costs half a month's savings, but as long as you drink three glasses, it is absolutely earned, or the money saved by drinking a glass and buying a lot of things, but ordinary people are not willing to buy so many things.
Qi Taichu is not very good at drinking, and even an ordinary person in the Luo Senhai District of Qiuchi Mountain is a little difficult to compare, and even can't compare, naturally not to have a drink, but to see how they drink.
But when Wu Tao heard that there was an endless amount of wine for a tael of silver, he immediately asked Zhou Jixing to borrow one or two, flipped the people in line aside and slapped the silver on the table, and said arrogantly: "Come, put two altars on grandpa!" ”
The wine man raised his eyes and looked at the rough man on the other side of the table, his face was disdainful, and he said in a strange manner: "Although our wine is free, you have to eat it, if you don't finish it, it will be a tael of wine and a tael of silver." ”
"Ah, forget it, I'll drink it one by one." Although Wu Tao is confident in himself, he has never drunk it himself, in case it is the kind of, pee and fart that is particularly unpalatable, he has to pinch his nose and drink it.
The wine maker scooped a scoop from the wine vat under the table and poured it into the cup, the rich aroma of wine penetrated Wu Tao's nasal cavity, Wu Tao sniffed hard, his eyes lit up, and without waiting for the wine to pass the cup over, Wu Tao took the cup with his big hand, poured it into his mouth, and he drank the wine that others could drink for a long time.
Not only was the wine shocked, but even those who drank and vomited looked at the monster in front of them with a look of eating.
"Bet it or not, I'll bet he'll get four drinks."
"I'm betting five glasses, no more."
"Old man, come on, I still have a place here, spit it out, and their group can take it back to water vegetables and fertilize."
……
There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and some people even made bets. A hundred meters from the gate of the city, there is a huge bamboo pole, on which there are many funnels, everyone wants to vomit here, and the vomit flows down the bamboo pole to the bucket that has already been placed in the city, and then sold cheaply to the peasants who want to fertilize.
Cup by cup, Wu Tao was not drunk, his face was not red, he was not panting, no number of cups he drank, he was in a strong shock, even if it was water, he should drink it, right?
The old man in front of the stall doesn't say that he is thin, but he can't say how fat he is, it's really incredible, how can anyone in the world drink so much wine?
After drinking two pillars of incense, Wu Tao burped and patted his stomach with satisfaction, and in the shocked gaze of Fajiu, he took the high-grade city entry order on the table, and strode in the direction of Qi Taichu, laughing, obviously in a very good mood.
"Heroes stay!"
Suddenly, a shout came, Wu Tao turned around and looked over, an elderly man rode out of the city, followed by more than a dozen horses, lifting the charming eyes of the yellow sand.
Wu Tao glanced at it lightly, hesitated slightly, and said with a chuckle: "Look at this posture, it's a city lord-level goods, why are you here and bring so many people, it's to kill people and kill people, don't let me take this bullshit into the city, right?" ”
The old man pulled the reins to control the horse, his expression was slightly surprised but confused, and explained: "The hero is wrong, the old man Xu Shanling, is the city lord of Shanggu, I heard that someone drank more than 100 glasses of wine into the city, I really admire, I can't help but come and see, why, the hero doesn't drink?" ”
Wu Tao shook his head, waved his big hand, and denied: "If you don't drink it, if you drink it again, you will have to pee in the crotch of your pants and eat." ”
"How about the hero come to my city lord's mansion to eat?" Xu Shanling leaned his head diligently and looked at Wu Tao tentatively.
Wu Tao pretended to have an embarrassed expression, looked at the four of Qi Taichu, and refused: "This is not good, I came with those four friends, what should I do if I go to them?" ”
Xu Shanling was able to get to the position of the city lord, so he naturally saw his thoughts, and said generously: "It's just four more pairs of chopsticks and four bowls, and the old man is out!" ”
……
"What? You're going to Xichu?! Xu Shanling's face changed greatly, and he asked again in disbelief.
Qi Taichu nodded and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" ”
Xu Shanling looked uneasy, tangled for a moment, and said categorically: "This Xichu's reputation is not good here. ”
"Elaborate."
Xu Shanling closed his eyes and recalled, "The war between my country and Western Chu seems to have happened more than a hundred years ago, the Chu people entered the capital, kidnapped Princess Kangge, and directly captured the emperor and empress, a group of concubines and princesses and thousands of other people to Western Chu, including my mother, along the way, the Chu people insulted the princess and compatriots in every way.
Many compatriots were tortured to death by the Chu people on this road, and my mother felt that this road was very long, as if it could not be completed in a lifetime, but in fact, it was not much, but the ancestors did not want to face such a life. The abducted mother washed her face with tears all day long, and she had thought about dying countless times, but the Chu people were very strict and would never let the ancestors have the slightest chance to commit suicide.
You and I may have often heard others say that the Chu people were barbaric and brutal, but when the ancestors really inflicted barbarism and brutality on our compatriots, they were caught off guard. Mother began to fantasize that the ancestors were just ordinary soldiers, and they lived a day of licking blood from the knife all day long, maybe it would be good to reach the end, and the leader of the Chu people might not be so brutal, and the mother who thought about it like this couldn't help but look forward to it.
Pray that you can reach the end of the road as soon as possible, but Mother never imagined that the end of this road is hell! When I arrived at the Mosi Palace, most of the ancestors had died at this time, and some of the people who survived by luck like my mother were seriously ill, and the Chu people threw the ancestors to the ground and held a grand banquet. The Chu people gathered around the ancestors, laughing wantonly, and the ancestors lay on the ground waiting for the final judgment. Suddenly, someone threw something at the ancestors, the reins of a horse, which were put around the neck of the ancestor whose clothes were torn, and circled around the campfire like a dog.
The whole ceremony was completed, the ancestors had no strength, the only remaining women were dragged into a pool to wash, some were thrown into a room to be enjoyed by countless Chu people in turn, the posture was slightly better, in the pool was surrounded by hungry Chu people, many people were drowning in the water, my mother had a big life, and she gave birth to me alive. After that, Wang Yuan led 160,000 iron cavalry to rescue the emperor, the young me, and the surviving people. In this battle, 160,000 iron horsemen died 90,000, and he became famous in the first battle and was crowned king. ”
Qi Taichu was a little dumbfounded, he didn't believe that this was done by people, his face changed in ancient times, everyone was silent, Xu Shanling continued: "I don't say this to sigh how big the old emperor's life is, let alone praise how much ability Wang Yuan has, even if he is very strong, I say this, I just don't want you to go to that cruel world." Compared to Kango, that place is underground, countless outlaws, kidnapping Kango people, and pulling out everything from their hearts and lungs, because some people love to eat human organs or meat, and women are used to make money. You are gone, danger. ”
Qi Taichu asked rhetorically, "Is it dangerous for people who practice martial arts to go?" ”
"Don't talk about people who practice martial arts! When the sword god went, he had to lose a waist! Xu Shanling's face was exaggerated, and he spoke in a colorful way, the corners of Qi Taichu's mouth twitched with a smile, Wu Tao, Zhou Jixing and Sanjin Le couldn't do it, but Li Qingyun looked at the old man who wanted to invite them to dinner, for him, this old man was a small head.
Don't be angry with the little kids, and the children's words are unscrupulous.
In this chat, Qi Taichu was not afraid, as for the remaining four people, there was no objection, Li Qingyun didn't care, Qi Taichu and Sanjin were curious, as for Wu Tao and Zhou Jixing, it must not be for the Xichu woman wearing a bandeau to go.
Qi Taichu came to the steps outside the door after eating, gently lifted his clothes and sat on the seat, his back was straight, his head was raised and his eyes were closed, the qi in his body was circulating, and the golden light outside his body was surrounding, he was practicing the Kunlun Mountain's method of looking up to the sky and sitting on the earth.
This method is to sense the power of the Heavenly Dao, because of the internal force of the Kunlun head Han Luzi, Qi Taichu is also extremely fast, and every breath makes a rumbling sound.
is different from "Qi Swallowing Technique", this has nothing to do with itself, through Xiao and strong, as long as you know how much the Heavenly Dao has, how strong it can be, in other words, if you sense a lot of Heavenly Dao, it may not be impossible to enter the Heavenly Pivot from the Nest Waste, just a dignified Heavenly Dao, how can it be so easy for you to feel?
