Although Zhao Rang is kind-hearted, he is not a soft persimmon, and he will do whatever he is asked to do. Even if he is controlled by others now, the backbone is still there.

People who practice martial arts have grievances in their hearts, and they want to take care of the grievances of others, and they will not bow their heads when they encounter their own grievances.

Manager Li did not persuade again, but personally picked up the brocade box in front of Zhao Rang, opened the lock, and put it back.

Zhao Rang swept his eyes and saw a palm-sized clay figure lying in the brocade box!

The clay figure holds a long jet-black knife in his right hand, looking straight ahead, without anger and self-authority. It seems that the enemy is currently fighting to the death.

"Does Zhao Gongzi like it?"

Zhao Rang didn't say a word, staring at the clay figure in a daze.

"I don't like it."

It was a long time before he spoke.

"This clay figure has Zhao Gongzi's temperament so well, why doesn't Zhao Gongzi like it?"

Mr. Li is in charge of every sentence and the end of the sentence, and the listeners are very responsive, but they are helpless.

"Because the temperament is not accurate enough, I don't like it."

Manager Li couldn't bear Zhao Rang's thoughts, and asked:

"What temperament?"

Zhao Rang pointed to the clay figure and said with a smile:

"Can't you see it from Manager Li?"

Mr. Li shook his head, he really couldn't see it. This clay figurine is the best in terms of material selection and craftsmanship. Even if it is placed in the previous dynasty, it can be sent to the palace as a tribute, and there is really no flaw at all.

"Silly! This clay figure is so heroic, no matter how you put it on your head, you should be a little stupid! ”

Manager Li immediately understood what Zhao Rang meant, the corners of his mouth were hooked again, and he said:

"It seems that Zhao Gongzi doesn't dislike this clay figure, but he doesn't like people who pinch clay figures!"

Yuan Mingkong listened to it from the sidelines.

The two of them were talking without a beginning or end, and he had no idea what was going on.

In his opinion, if this was not a gift from the sect master, it was just a thing, Yuan Mingkong would like it a lot.

His clay figures, the workmanship is no worse than Zhao Rang's, and the posture is even more bearish, with a heroic appearance that has seen the rise and fall of the world.

How did Yuan Mingkong know that Zhao Rang had seen this craft as early as in Lotus Alley.

Now, Zhao Rang finally understands one thing.

The sect leader didn't come late on purpose, but he had no way to come early!

Every day after dark, the sect leader would put away his letter-writing stall in the Northwest Market, and then go home to prepare clay figurines and sell them in the most lively street market in the royal city.

The reason why Zhao Rang said that his clay figure lacked some stupidity was precisely because he reacted after seeing this clay figure, and the sect leader had been watching him find himself! 1

Is there such a bizarre thing in the world?

Before seeing the clay figurine in the brocade box, Zhao made himself not believe that such a thing would happen, so he didn't blame anyone, only blamed himself for being too stupid.

Just snap the lid on, out of sight and out of mind!

"I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for a long time!"

The old gentleman walked with the wind, walked lightly, and was still wearing the cloth clothes and trousers that Zhao Rang wore when he saw him in the lotus alley during the day.

The sturdy men who stood around the hall all bowed to the ground, unable to speak, and could only use their bodies to express their most devout awe for the master.

Giarmani and Hongjun also bent down deeply and performed an extremely standard chest-holding salute.

Only Manager Li got up with a smile, arched his hand at him, and said in a sharp voice, "Hello sect leader."

The old gentleman, or the sect leader, swept the eyes of everyone present, his eyes were full of peace, and Zhao Rang couldn't see any ambition.

The sect leader noticed that Zhao Rang was staring at him, so he turned his gaze and met his four eyes:

"Zhao Gongzi, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Zhao Rang closed his mouth, opened it again, repeated the cycle several times, and finally said:

"Actually, I should have seen it in Lotus Alley."

The sect leader smiled gently, this smile was no different from the old servant of Zhao Rang's family who had watched him grow up.

The human face is indeed the best mask, and any joy, anger and sorrow can be hidden in it.

The more ambitious the person, the thicker and more delicate the mask!

Seeing such a smile, Zhao Rang suddenly felt that the old eunuch Manager Li had become cute!

At least his mind is on the outside.

From his expression, the sharp voice he spoke, and the lotus finger that his left hand pinched all the time, it could be seen clearly.

"Oh? How did Zhao Gongzi see it? ”

If Fang Cai said this to Manager Li, he would not be teased by him. But the sect leader was like the neighbor's elders, and he guided him earnestly, even if Zhao Rang didn't want to say it anymore, he couldn't help but want to continue when he heard his words.

"I won you twice, but you didn't pay, but you kept the account."

"The casino is a place that never makes sense, and the last moment it was a high-roller who spent a lot of money, as long as you lose all your money, they will definitely throw you out as a flower child, and they won't even let you drink a sip of tea!"

"That's all?"

The Sect Master continued.

Zhao Rang didn't speak again, and there was only so much he could think of at the moment.

"If Zhao Gongzi had directly suspected it at that time, it must be a different situation now."

Seeing that Zhao Rang was silent, the sect leader spoke to himself.

"There are few things in the world that can be predicted in advance, if you can be prepared for everything, wouldn't everyone be a god?"

Zhao Rang nodded and sighed again.

What the Sect Master said is true, but it is also nonsense!

There is no regret medicine in the world to eat, all the ifs are an afterthought, and it is the loser and the weak who give themselves the steps to fail to repair.

It's a pity that such a staircase can only go down forever, because the people who built it have already lost it cleanly.

"So Zhao Gongzi doesn't have to be presumptuous! It's not that you're stupid! ”

"Well, it's not that I'm stupid, it's that the sect leader is too shrewd!"

Zhao Rang pushed the words back.

"Let's not care about you first, let's talk about Hai Jianhao, he is very familiar with me. Over the years, I have been selling clay figurines along the road from Tsing Yi to Black Street every day after sunset, and he didn't find it? ”

At this point, Hedier could not sit still, and replied sharply:

"You must have used some kind of magic spell! Distraction! So I can't see you, or you'd have died under my sword!" ”

The Sect Master slowly got up, opened his arms, and said to Hediyer:

"When Zhao Gongzi came to Lotus Alley today, he was dressed like this. Over the years, I haven't changed anything except getting older. Or is the sea sword noble and forgetful, the business of the Sunset Racecourse is prosperous, and the green shirt guest is built, where do you remember such an insignificant old man who lives below? ”

Hedier was born in a noble family, and his face was very thin after all...... He couldn't refute a word of what the sect leader said just now, and suddenly grabbed the wine glass in front of him, slammed it to the ground, and smashed it to pieces.

"Oh, what a gathering of likes! Your friend broke the porcelain bottle, you broke the wine glass, and there is no room for good things in your eyes? ”

Manager Li took out the pink handkerchief from his bosom again, and was about to step forward to clean up all the crumbs of the wine glass.

"No, for Hai Jianhao, what is a cup? Even if he smashed all the cups here, it would be fine. Don't forget, Hai Jianhao is not only a distinguished guest, but also a noble person of the sect leader. Without his recommendation at that time, how could there be the grand occasion of the Divine Cult today? ”

The sect leader stopped Mr. Li's behavior, and Mr. Li immediately changed his face and said:

"What the Sect Master said is extremely true! Hai Jianhao is the number one noble person in our God Sect! Let's get a few more wine glasses for Hai Jianhao! ”

"Hai Jianhao, as long as you feel comfortable, you can smash as much as you want!"

Hediye was laughed at by Mr. Li, and really smashed all the wine glasses he brought again, not a single one.

"Mr. Li, can't you see it? Hai Jianhao is not an angry wine glass, but an angry wine! ”

Hediye smashed it, and Mr. Li put it down. Take the sect leader's words seriously, you can smash as much as you want, it's enough!

But as soon as the sect leader said this, Hediye's newly raised arm suddenly stopped, and after a moment, he put the wine glass in his hand back on the table.

"You're right! If I had drunk less, I wouldn't have failed to recognize you! ”

The sect leader turned to Zhao Rang with a smile and said:

"In the past few years, I have set up a stall at the door of the Tsing Yi guest house for about two hours every night, and I will come back to take a look after the stall is closed. It can be said that before Zhao Gongzi and you arrived, there was not a night when Hai Jianhao spent it quietly. I don't say much about the small banquet every day, and I will drink happily every three or five days. ”

Zhao Rang glanced at Hedier, who was already ashamed and ashamed at the moment.

"Looks like wine isn't a good thing!"

Zhao Rang also had an urge to smash wine glasses and bottles.

"Yes to you, and for you, the wine couldn't be better!"

The Sect Master burst out laughing.

The happier he laughed, the sadder Zhao Rang and the others became.

Hydiye is the Sect Master's biggest hidden danger, and wine is his greatest invisibility talisman.

He didn't know anything about witchcraft or trickery, and as long as Hedier kept drinking, his eyes would be hazy, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Except for Chief Manager Li, who echoed the sect leader and smiled, everyone else had cold faces, and the sect leader was also a little embarrassed.

He cleared his throat, changed his words, and said:

"Since Hai Jianhao doesn't drink, let's eat first."

Manager Li deserves to be the head manager, as soon as the word "sect leader" for dinner fell, he greeted his mother with a girly greeting, "serve".

The curtain was lifted, but instead of vegetables, a stove and a cook came up.

The stove was mounted on a wooden cart and was pushed in by two sturdy men. There are two pots on it, a wok and a pan.

Zhao Rang didn't know how to cook, so naturally he had no interest in the stove, but today he was unusual, looking directly at the chef who followed behind the stove.

"The sect leader is very particular about eating, only the dishes that are served just out of the pot are the best and freshest, so every time you eat, you have to ask the chef to push the stove and fry it on the table!"

Manager Li explained to everyone.

Delicious is not a bad thing, everyone has their own habits, and it is much better to be delicious than to gamble and prostitute!

"Zhao Gongzi must also have studied eating!"

The sect leader said suddenly.

"I don't know anything."

"I don't know why I'm so interested in the stove?"

The Sect Master asked rhetorically.

"I'm looking at the cook behind the stove, and I hope the eggs he fried in a while won't be as black as they are in Lotus Alley!"

The cook behind the stove is the small vendor selling cakes and fried eggs in Lotus Lane.

Counting him, among the people Zhao Rang had seen in Lotus Alley, except for that child, all of them were from the Divine Cult.

Even Zhang San, the guide who brought them all the way here from Chagan Tologai, was a member of the Divine Sect......

The boy must have died in the fire, and this was the most complete relief for him!

"Here comes the eggs!"

The gauze curtain moved slightly, and Zhao Rang only heard his voice, but did not see his person.

Stretching his neck, he saw that the child, who was still a pity just now, squatted with a carton full of eggs in his hand and walked to the stove. Seeing that Zhao Rang was looking at him, the child still squeezed his eyes at Zhao Rang.

Zhao Rang wanted to smile at him, but his face was stiff and he couldn't move.

The child saw Zhao Rang's cold face, but a little confusion flashed on his face, as if he didn't know why Zhao Rang wanted to treat him like this.

Children are always innocent.

Zhao Rang thought in his heart.

Even though he was working for the Cult, he must not know what he was doing. Maybe he'll be paid a piece of sugar, two fried eggs, or a soft bed.

Thinking like this, Zhao Rang made another effort, and this time he finally laughed.

The child saw Zhao Rang laughing, and the confusion on his face was also slapped, and he became happy again, and gave the cook a hand quickly.

The first course is fried bean sprouts.

Everyone didn't expect that a leader who was particular about food would serve dishes such as bean sprouts to serve extremely cheap food.

In the Western Regions and Dawei, bean sprouts are something that only the poor will eat.

Soybeans eat too much flatulence, and they are not hungry. Sprinkle some water and let it sprout, and the dry and hard beans will become crisp and refreshing, and they will be full without much eating. m.

However, the plate of bean sprouts on the table is a little different from the usual ones.

"This dish has to be cut in two sections, leaving only the smoothest one in the middle, coated in egg batter, lightly fried in oil, and then sautéed with shredded ham and balsamic vinegar."

The dish was brought by Manager Li, and the sect leader did not move the chopsticks first, but introduced it to everyone.

Zhao Rang thought that he said that he was delicious, but it was just an excuse. After all, people in high positions like to find something unusual to decorate themselves.

may make the most ordinary bean sprouts so fancy, which shows that his deliciousness is not fake.

It stands to reason that greedy people are not ruthless, and ruthless people basically can't taste in their mouths.

Someone as ruthless and greedy as the sect leader, Zhao Rang saw it for the first time.

"Sect Master, please go first!" 1
