Chapter 69: An Inexplicable Dinner
After leaving Hangzhou, the three Xueguan Zhang brothers stopped and stopped all the way and advanced to the Central Plains.
The reason why Xue Wuxian rushed to the Central Plains was because he was ordered by the two masters to go to Chu Tianhe to celebrate his birthday.
Chu Tianhe is known as the hero of the Central Plains, he has excellent martial arts and high morality, not only the current martial arts alliance leader, but also the benefactor of Xue Wuxi.
When Cedar's whole family was killed by the wicked people such as Wild Battles and Butchers, it was Chu Tianhe, the hero of the Central Plains, who risked his life to rescue the eight-year-old Xue Wuxian from the butcher's knife, and handed it over to Sima Jian Sima Kong to raise, so that he has the current Xue Wuxian, otherwise he would have died a long time ago!
Therefore, Chu Tianhe is a great benefactor of Xue Wuxi, and Xue Wuxian has always been grateful.
The rivers and lakes have dreamed of a decade, and they don't realize that they are young men.
With a flick of his fingers, ten years have passed, and Xue Wuxian has grown up and has achieved success, so he should also go to thank the life-saving benefactor, and by the way, congratulate Engong Chu Tianhe on his birthday.
Now there is still a period of time before Chutianhe's birthday, and there is plenty of time, so Xue Wuxian is not in a hurry to hurry, stop and stop all the way, and enjoy the scenery along the way.
Unexpectedly, something inexplicable came.
At sunset on this day, at a corner of the roadside, they saw a roadside inn, and the three of them were also hungry, so they jumped off their horses and walked in, intending to eat enough to stay overnight, and then hurry again tomorrow.
As soon as he walked into the door of the inn, the shopkeeper greeted them as soon as he saw them, and said with a spring breeze: "Three guest officers, may I ask you are the three sons of Xueguan Zhang?" ”
Xue Wuxian was stunned for a moment and asked, "Little second brother, the three of us brothers have never been to me, and we have never known each other, how do you know us?" ”
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Hey, Snow Boy, Guan Zhang's appearance is so special, you can recognize it at a glance."
And you are with Guan Zhang, needless to say, you must be the eldest brother of the Taoyuan Three Alliances, Xue Wuxia, right? ”
Zhang Feide laughed when he heard this: "Oh, big brother wow, it seems that many people know about our Taoyuan Three Alliances, haha, I really can't imagine wow!" ”
Then he said to the shopkeeper: "Little second brother, get me a few dishes, and then three jars of wine, the three of us brothers have a full meal, and we will go again tomorrow!" ”
"Okay, three upstairs, please!"
The second brother led the three of Xue Wuxian to a private room on the second floor, and said, "Third master, please sit inside!" ”
Xue Wuxian glanced at it, and saw that the table in the private room was full of dishes, and they were all hot, and it seemed that it had not been long before the table was served.
So he asked suspiciously: "Little second brother?" Are you mistaken? We just came in and haven't ordered yet, so why do we have this table? Is it another guest's? ”
"That's right, it's the three masters, you can eat with confidence, someone has already paid for these meals!"
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he wanted to go downstairs, but Xue Wuxian grabbed him and said, "Little second brother, I wonder when you say this, who invited the guest, and who paid the money?" ”
Zhang Feide is a big grinning person, and he doesn't take it seriously when the sky falls, seeing this, he said: "Big brother, it's good to eat, why do you care about him so much?"
Hey, let's eat, wash and sleep after eating, we have to hurry tomorrow! ”
Xue Wuxian is a person who knows how to repay and speaks of principles, and he doesn't like to eat people for nothing, especially when he doesn't even know who is inviting him, he can't eat casually, so he still grabbed Xiao Er and asked: "Little Second Brother, you still have to make it clear to me, who is the treat?" ”
The shopkeeper blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's really strange today, the person who invited us didn't let us reveal his identity." But those who eat have to figure it out clearly, and they have to break the casserole and ask to the end.
Alas, it's hard to be a man, and it's even harder to be a little two! ”
Seeing his helpless look, Guan Wenchang, who had not spoken since entering the door, spoke at this time: "Big brother, the second brother has his principles and hardships, so let's not embarrass him, right?" ”
couldn't ask for a result, although Xue Wuxian was unwilling, he was also an empathetic person, and when he saw this, he said: "Okay, since that's the case, I won't embarrass you, little second brother, let's eat!" ”
"Oh, that's right, there is wine today and drunk today, don't care about tomorrow's right or wrong, the three masters, please use it slowly!"
Seeing that Xue Wuxian said this, the shopkeeper was relieved, sang a promise, and hurriedly went downstairs to greet the other guests.
"Heh, it's quite interesting for the little second brother to speak!"
Xue Wuxian shook his head and smiled, and when he saw the dishes on the table clearly, he couldn't help but freeze again!
It turned out that the dishes on the table were all what they liked to eat, such as sweet and sour pork ribs, Kyoto sliced duck, shabu mutton, Zhang Feide's favorite flower chicken, and braised hooves!
And Guan Wenchang's favorite wowotou, mille-feuille, and steamed mandarin fish are also on the table!
Even the back pot meat, Buddha jumping over the wall, and fried peanuts that the three brothers like to eat have not been left behind!
"Oops,!"
Looking at the table full of their brother's favorite dishes, Zhang Feide couldn't help but widen his eyes and have a question mark on his face.
"Who is the treat?" Xue Guan Zhang and the three of them said in unison.
Suddenly, Zhang Feide said loudly: "Oh, I know who it is, it must be Miss Jiang Yueqin!" ”
However, Zhang Feide's speculation was immediately denied by Xue Wuxian, who shook his head and said, "Third brother, it's impossible, it's not a guest invited by Miss Jiang Yueqin!" ”
Zhang Feide frowned and said, "Big brother, how is it impossible?" Who else but her invited us to dinner? Besides, in the ring of the martial arts competition, you defeated Han Shilei and became the final winner, at that time, Jiang Zhensheng handed over his daughter to you with his own hands, you don't want it.
So I think later Miss Jiang caught up with her and secretly arranged the meal, wanting you to change your mind? ”
"Huh? Although what you said makes some sense, it is not right. ”
Xue Wuxian said: "First of all, even if Miss Jiang Yueqin wants to do this, it is impossible, because we met her in Pingshui and didn't know each other before, how could she know what food the three of us brothers like to eat?"
Besides, Miss Jiang Yueqin is the first beauty in Jiangnan, so many people pursue her, she should be very proud, and her self-esteem should be much stronger than others, and I rejected her on the spot, she should hate me very much, how can she still slap me? ”
Listening to his analysis, Guan Zhang and the others felt reasonable, so they guessed that it might be Qin'er, or Xue Wuji's master.
Even the little beggar he met when Xue Wuxian first came down the mountain thought of it. However, after some analysis, these speculations were dismissed.
Zhang Feide has a bold temperament and has made many friends, and at the beginning, Zhang Feide also thought that it might be a guest invited by his friends. However, after some argumentation, they were also ruled out.
Suddenly, Xue Guan and Zhang remembered someone at the same time, and the three of them said in unison: "Zhuge Changfeng, fifth brother!" ”
Xue Wuxian said excitedly: "The fifth brother is like his ancestor Zhuge Liang, he is mysterious and secretive, his style is often unexpected, and he likes to play tricks, I think he should arrange it like this, just to give us an unexpected surprise!" ”
Guan Wenchang said: "I think it should be like this. Uh, since the fifth brother is here, the fourth brother Lu Zilong should also be with him, right? ”
"Alas, no, it's not the fifth brother!"
Xue Wuxian muttered: "When the fifth brother was so seriously injured when he robbed the law field in Fenglin City, one leg was almost cut off by Wang Hushan, it was impossible to heal so quickly, it wasn't the fifth brother who was treated!" ”
"That's right, the fifth brother should still be recuperating on Mount Emei now."
As he was talking, his stomach suddenly gurgled, and Zhang Feide slapped the table and said, "Oh, don't care about him, I'm hungry, I'll talk about it when I'm full!" ”
In the midst of the loud shouting, Zhang Feide picked up the chopsticks in a hurry and was about to coerce the vegetables, but suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Oh, it's not good!" ”
He drank like this, and suddenly scared Guan Wenchang, and the chopsticks he had just picked up in his hand also fell down, Guan Wenchang looked depressed, and complained: "Oh, third brother, why are you startled?" Want to scare me to death? ”
"Shh
Zhang Feide made a booing gesture, leaned in front of the two of Xueguan, and said mysteriously: "Oh, I remember, this must be the road meal and guillotine wine that Han Shilei invited us to eat!" ”
"Rice on the road and decapitation?"
Hearing him say that, Xue Wuxian and Guan Wenchang both felt that there was something possible. Because in the ring of the Hangzhou martial arts competition, Han Shilei was defeated by Xue Wuxian because of his arrogance and arrogance, and he did not show the Xuantie scimitar, so he must not be reconciled, and he will definitely find a way to retaliate against Xue Wuji.
There are many disciples of the Demon Sword Sect, and they are well-informed, and after discovering their whereabouts after Xue Wuxian found out, they set up an ambush and poisoned the food to assassinate Xue Guan and Zhang and the others, which is very likely.
In particular, the shopkeeper didn't dare to reveal who was inviting the guests, so it was more likely that someone from the Demon Sword Gate did it.
Thinking like this, Xue Guan and Zhang all had a premonition of the seriousness of the matter, and they all went downstairs and walked out of the inn, and slapped their horses and whipped away.
In fact, if Xue Wuxian was alone, he was not afraid of the people of the Demon Sword Gate, but Guan Zhang and the two of them were by his side, so it was natural to maintain their safety, and it was always good to be cautious.
Looking at the backs of the three of them leaving without a trace, the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper were dumbfounded, what are they doing? Don't eat a table of dishes and just leave? Aren't you happy that someone else will let you eat and drink for free?
Because of the fear of the people of the magic knife door chasing, the three brothers of Xueguan Zhang galloped all the way, until midnight, only to find another inn called Xiangshun in a small town, at this time they were already sleepy, hungry, and couldn't care so much, after finding this Xiangshun inn, the three of them dismounted and knocked on the door violently, and woke up the innkeeper.
After opening the door and entering, Zhang Feide sat down on a bench with a golden knife, and shouted: "Shopkeeper, cook me a few dishes, Lao Tzu, I am so hungry that my eyes are full of stars, and if I don't eat, I will die!" ”
