Chapter 12: The Secret Path Delicious
After Xiao Qingchen was dumbfounded, he glanced at Xiao Yi and asked, "Dare to ask the old man, who is your young lady?" ”。 The old man seemed to see through the vigilance in Xiao Qingchen's heart, and said with a light smile: "Young Master Xiao, don't worry, my young lady and Young Master Xiao are also very related. Xiao Qingchen shook the paper fan and said lightly, "The old man leads the way, I, Xiao Qingchen, have never been afraid of anyone" Xiao Qingchen heard the old man's words and let himself rest assured, didn't he underestimate the Xiao family, not to mention that he also said that it was very originative. Let's see what kind of extremely related method it is.
Xiao Yi followed Xiao Qingchen one step behind, always on guard against someone secretly making a move, especially the old man in front. Xiao Yi couldn't see the depth of the old man. Xiao Qingchen's face was calm as usual, but his left hand became crouched behind his back.
The shopkeeper on the second floor watched them go up to the third floor with awe-inspiring eyes, and he didn't know where it was, so he let the big shopkeeper greet him personally, but this level of things is not something they can know, because he doesn't have this strength, he doesn't know too much without this strength, and he will die faster.
The third floor is twice as large as the second floor. Among them, dozens of small spaces are separated by screens, and the paintings of each screen are also different, and there is no repetition. In front of the screen, there are various flowers and plants, and the name of each flower is the name of the space. From the gap, the people inside were all people in brocade and silk. The third floor is on top of the second floor, and the first floor is connected to the back, that is, there is a first floor behind.
"May I ask the old man, why is the name of this shop called Eat Dog Meat?" Xiao Qingchen suddenly remembered the strange name of the shop and asked. The old man turned, "Because they're here to eat dog meat." When Xiao Qingchen heard such a reply, he couldn't help but laugh, it was really interesting. It seems that it was because of Xiao Qingchen's question that the old man became interested and began to introduce Xiao Qingchen to eating dog meat.
"We have been eating dog meat for 20 years, and when we first opened the door, the door was crowded, because in this sunny and snowy capital, the name of eating dog meat is too vulgar and unbearable. The people here, whether they are high-ranking officials or ordinary people, always have a sense of superiority, they always like some things in the spring and snow, and they always do some boring things that are vassal and elegant. Xiao Qingchen nodded when he heard this, this is reasonable. This kind of local superiority is only compared to the bottom, not necessarily the top, and is a kind of sick social mass psychology.
"But, when the dog meat made by my young lady came out of the pot, the fragrance was ten miles, and they rushed up one by one like hungry wolves, making us very busy that day. Later, our young lady put forward the rules, the first floor is flat-headed, the second floor is a businessman is rich, and the third floor is a high-ranking official, and the daily position is limited. And the price is different for each floor. Some people can't eat today, so they can only book a place tomorrow. Although there are some people in the back who can't see our huge profits, they play behind us and want to annex us, but we are not easy to bully here. That day, our lady directly led us to slaughter a gang that wanted to attack us at night, and shocked the background behind them. However, the background behind them couldn't swallow this breath, and directly brought five hundred elite soldiers to surround us during the day, saying that we were a black shop, and scolded my young lady angrily, that day the young lady was directly angry and killed the person on the spot, and then I wounded and killed five hundred elite soldiers, what kind of soldier was that person at that time, after we killed the Royal Forest Army, surrounded this place and did not let anyone enter or exit. However, on the same day, the emperor Lao'er directly sent a plaque, which was the one at the door, and issued an order saying that the squire of the military department and the commander of the Royal Forest Army secretly colluded to deduct military salaries and beheaded all over the house. Since then, no one here has dared to come here to be presumptuous! The old man spoke slowly, his tone was extremely flat, but it was extremely terrifying to others. Xiao Qingchen muttered in his mouth, "The squire of the military department, the Imperial Forest Army, the emperor Lao'er." It seems that the origin is not small! ”
The old man did not take Xiao Qingchen to the third floor, but opened a door in the corner of the stairs between the two juniors and walked in.
Walking through the door, it was pitch black. Xiao Qingchen's eyes remained unchanged, but he paused slightly, and Xiao Yi nodded secretly.
"Be careful!" Xiao Qingchen snorted lightly, and the paper fan in his hand folded, hitting the old man's back. He heard the sound of the mechanism, and the thief must capture the king first, and the old man must be caught so that they have a higher chance of getting out. The old man was not an ordinary person, his hands were staggered behind his back, and he was against Xiao Qingchen's paper fan full of energy.
Xiao Yi was also attacked by two knife-wielding people at the same time in the back, and the two knife-wielding men descended directly from the attic, if it weren't for Xiao Qingchen's early reminder, it is estimated that Xiao Yi would have been injured. The two knife wielders had short bridges and short horses, and their knife skills were extremely flexible and changeable, and they cooperated very well, so that Xiao Yi couldn't get out for the time being.
Xiao Qingchen saw that the other party was against his paper fan, and with a turn of the situation, the paper fan opened, and the peacock opened the screen, like a blade cutting the old man's head and neck, "Hey" The old man shouted, lowered his head and turned around, and faced Xiao Qingchen is palm, Xiao Qingchen's paper fan was closed, like a single, and went up directly. "Bang" The old man regressed again and again, and Xiao Qingchen just turned his body in the air, and the paper fan opened his chest, making a handsome boy.
This is a flaw that Xiao Yi grabbed from the leakage of the two people, and when the two turned around and attacked with a backhand, he first took a knife, and then caught the knife of the other person, and his strength gushed out, and he directly kicked the person in the chest. The man flew straight upside down. The last person was obviously struggling to deal with Xiao Yi, and he couldn't stand Xiao Yi's fierce fighting style, and was knocked away with a palm.
"Young Master!" Xiao Yi solved the two of them and stepped behind Xiao Qingchen. The sound of the "boom" pull of the mechanism, "retreat" Xiao Qingchen pushed Xiao Yi away with one palm, the fan flew around his body, like a peacock opening the screen, and the wall next to the "dingding" shot out countless short arrows, all of which were blocked by Xiao Qingchen's paper fan. After Xiao Yi was pushed away with a palm, the two knife-wielding people behind him suddenly stood up from the ground and restrained Xiao Yi who wanted to rush into the rain of arrows, Xiao Yi was in a hurry, but the two knife-wielding people entangled them to the death, preventing them from having any chance to escape, and the current attack was even more rapid than just now. Damn it! They were just tempting before! Xiao Yi gritted his teeth.
Xiao Qingchen is like a butterfly in a flower in the rain of arrows, his movements are light and graceful, and the swift short arrow can't get close to him. Xiao Qingchen's true qi overflowed, his strength protected his body, the paper fan in his hand danced out of the fan flower, his feet were staggered in the air, and his body rushed out of the range of arrow rain. Xiao Qingchen blocked the last arrow, and the old man suddenly jumped up, pulled out a willow sword from his waist, and stabbed it straight into Xiao Qingchen's eyes.
Xiao Qingchen's orchid finger in his left hand tapped on the willow sword, stopping the sword. Moving around, the two fought in the narrow dark passage, the old man used the willow sword extremely fast, and the swordsmanship was exquisite, while Xiao Qingchen only had a paper fan to defend himself, and he was forced away by the willow sword several times at close range. The old man suffered Xiao Qingchen's loss just now, and knew that he had deep internal strength, so he didn't have the idea of competing with him this time. Xiao Qingchen's martial arts are mostly open and close, and in this small space, he can't develop his own advantages at all, and now he can only fight very hard.
Xiao Qingchen flicked away the old man's sword, and tightened his strength. "Roar!" The Buddha Gate King Kong lion roared, after the old man was flicked away by Xiao Qingchen, he turned over and jumped, just landed and wanted to rush forward, but what hit him was the Buddha Gate Lion Roar full of Xiao Qingchen's true spirit! was caught off guard by being directly beaten, and was knocked out by the strong energy, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth! Fell heavily at the end of the tunnel.
Seeing this, Xiao Qingchen rushed up. The paper fan pointed directly at the old man's dantian and abolished his martial arts! "Boom" The dark passage suddenly opened, and the light that suddenly shot in pierced Xiao Qingchen so that he couldn't open his eyes, so he could only turn sideways in the air and stop, guarding against the people on the opposite side of the dark passage.
"Miss!" The old man stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and bowed his hand to the red-clothed woman outside the secret passage, "I brought Young Master Xiao here." "Stop!" The woman in red said to the two knife-wielding men in the dark tunnel. After the two knife-wielding men withdrew their hands, they crossed Xiao Qingchen with light skills and landed in front of the woman in red.
Xiao Qingchen opened the paper fan and stared at the mysterious woman in red opposite, seeing Xiao Yi catching up from behind, Xiao Qingchen asked, "Are you injured?" Xiao Yi shook his head.
"Little Peach, you come with me!" The woman in red spit out a few words, which made Xiao Qingchen's face full of shock, and even his hands trembled a little, Little Peach, this is his nickname, only his grandfather and Xiao Luohe call him that, except for the two of them, no one knows, unless it is his biological parents. How does the woman in red know!? Unless it is! Xiao Qingchen thought of a possibility, but could only shake his head.
Xiao Yi saw that Xiao Qingchen's expression was wrong, and he didn't dare to say more, he had never seen Xiao Qingchen like this. Xiao Qingchen took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and said to Xiao Yi, "Go!" ”
Xiao Qingchen walked out of the dark passage, adapted to the light, and saw clearly that this was a courtyard, in the middle of the courtyard was a pavilion, the woman in red and the old man in the pavilion were waiting there, the stone table in the pavilion was full of vegetables, and the cauldron in the middle was dog meat. Xiao Qingchen smelled the aroma, exhaled and walked over.
Walking closer, Xiao Qingchen saw the face of the woman in red clearly, and could only use four words, graceful and luxurious! It's no worse than ordinary ladies, or even higher. Xiao Qingchen glanced at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but be stunned. Kung Pao hare, colorful beef tenderloin, suckling pig, braised hooves, braised lion's head, these are all dishes that I like to eat! Who the hell is she! How can you know so many things about yourself!
"Come, sit down!" The woman in red greeted Xiao Qingchen, and then the old man also sat down slowly, and Xiao Yi was also arranged to sit down. Xiao Qingchen put the paper fan aside, his hand didn't know where to put it, he didn't have any desire to do it now, he just wanted to know who the other party was? What does it have to do with yourself?
The woman in red put a bowl full of dishes in front of Xiao Qingchen, and said with a smile, "Eat it!" Aren't these your favorite foods? Could it be that my cooking is not delicious? ”
"Eun, it's delicious, it's delicious!" Xiao Qingchen picked up the chopsticks, picked up the bowl, and took a few big bites to the innermost part, gobbling it up. As if he was afraid that someone was going to rob him. When the red woman saw Xiao Qingchen's eating image, she couldn't help laughing, her eyes were full of relief and tears.
