Chapter 144: The Legend of Shi'an
Under the leadership of the young man who called the iron cat, Jiang Yu and Ling Ruoxue came to a very luxurious restaurant.
"Listen to Yuxuan......" Jiang Yu looked up at the plaque on the upper floor, and said in his heart that this name is a bit elegant, but what kind of dirty business is done inside.
Because of the Tianyuan Festival, there were also a lot of people who came to dine here, and Jiang Yu and the other three entered the Tingyu Xuan without attracting the attention of others.
Compared with the previous restaurant, the layout in Tingyuxuan is more luxurious and elegant, that is, the recipes on the wall, all of which are white jade brands.
After Jiang Yu sat down, he ordered a lot of dishes to come up, just like in the usual restaurant. After ordering the food, Jiang Yu took a closer look at the environment and people here, and was a little puzzled in his heart. He said in his heart What means did the Yang family use to select the people they needed, did they let the guys in this restaurant screen them one by one, if this is the case, even after screening the people they want, can they just use force to arrest them, if this is really the case, it is really a bit incredible that the boat has not capsized for so long.
Soon, Xiao Er brought a lot of dishes. Looking at the table full of dishes, none of the three moved their chopsticks. Jiang Yu didn't move his chopsticks because Jiang Yu had something in his heart. He knew that the easiest way to do this kind of thing was to poison the wine and rice. But what Jiang Yu couldn't understand was that according to what the young man had said before, when his previous companion disappeared, he was also full, and if the wine and rice were poisonous, he could not be spared.
And this young man didn't move his chopsticks, he also thought of this, and was afraid that the wine and rice would be poisonous. And Ling Ruoxue, who has no scheming, just didn't want to eat anymore for a long time after she was full.
At this time, I saw Xiao Er bring three pots of wine up and put them on the table.
"I didn't call for wine. Jiang Yu asked.
"This is the gift of the three guest officers from the small shop, this is our unique rice wine here, the taste is mellow, very rare!" After the second child said this, he turned around and left.
"Interesting. Jiang Yu looked at Xiao Er's back, turned around, and gently opened the lid of the wine jug, and a crisp fragrance came. Jiang Yu smelled the smell and was excited, and said in his heart that the fragrance of this wine was too powerful, and he had drunk a lot of wine, but there had never been a wine with a fragrance better than this wine, and this wine was only rice wine, which was really strange.
"It smells so good. Ling Ruoxue also exclaimed.
Hearing Ling Ruoxue's admiration, Jiang Yu was also stunned, looked at Ling Ruoxue and said, "Ruoxue also drinks?" Jiang Yu had never seen Ling Ruoxue drink. Hearing Jiang Yu's question, Ling Ruoxue shook her head and said, "Never, senior sister said that wine is the root of all evil, and she won't let me touch it." ”
"The root of all evil, haha......" Jiang Yu smiled heartily when he thought of Ling Suhan's explanation of the wine to Ling Ruoxue. Then he said: "Ruoxue may be a drunkard in the future." ”
"Big brother, why do you like this smell, it smells so bad. I saw the young man covering his nose and interjecting, avoiding the wine jug in Jiang Yu's hand as much as possible.
"Does it smell that bad?" Jiang Yu said with a smile. He knows that there is such a thing as wine, some people like it, and some people don't like it. But there is something wrong with smelling such a big reaction. Thinking of this, Jiang Yu's heart was shocked, and he said that the taste of this wine was so fragrant, and there was something wrong with it.
"Could it be that knowledge is above this wine?" Jiang Yu looked at the young man sideways, and had a little guess in his heart, and asked the young man in a low voice: "Iron Cat, did they give you this kind of wine in the first place?"
"Yes, that's the rule here!" said the boy.
"Hmm......" Jiang Yu was sure in his heart, and said that at the age of Iron Mao'er, he has not yet reached the age of drinking, and a group of children come in to eat, how can they give back the wine, this is unreasonable. And judging by Iron Cat's disgust for this wine, he probably didn't drink it at the beginning.
Jiang Yu's heart was shocked, and he thought of the key!
"Could it be that those who drink wine will be selected, and those who don't drink will be eliminated?" Jiang Yu looked at the wine, and said in his heart that when he smelled the aroma of this wine, he couldn't help but want to take a few sips, even a person like Ling Ruoxue, who had never drunk alcohol, felt that it tasted mellow. Jiang Yu looked at the other tables, there was also this kind of wine, some people drank it, and some people were as tired of this wine as the young man.
"I see, that's ......" Jiang Yu carefully observed, and finally saw the clue. He found that almost all the people who drank alcohol had a little bit of cultivation, and those who didn't drink were people like this young man, who didn't have the slightest cultivation. The mystery of that wine lies in the fact that those who have cultivated it find it very mellow, while those who have not cultivated find it smelly.
The mystery has been mastered, but Jiang Yu is still definitely a little puzzled, he said in his heart that even if the wine is poisonous, then it can't be arranged for every customer to be watched, waiting for them to be poisoned before arresting them. That's a lot of manpower. This Tianyuan Festival is full of people, and the passenger flow of this restaurant, even if there are hundreds of people, I am afraid it is not enough to mark people.
When Jiang Yu was thinking, he suddenly found that the three of them were sitting dryly, and he said that this would inevitably arouse suspicion. It has been determined that there is a problem with the wine, then the dishes should be clean. He beckoned, "Eat, no problem!" He took the lead in picking up chopsticks and eating. He hadn't eaten much before, and he was a little hungry now. When the young man saw Jiang Yu move his chopsticks, he also ate them violently. Only Ling Ruoxue just looked at Jiang Yu, and from time to time she would look outside, so she didn't do anything else.
Jiang Yu ate slowly, because he also had to observe what was abnormal about those who had drunk wine. However, he found that there seemed to be nothing unusual about the people who had drunk the wine, and many of them left after eating and drinking, and no one was following them.
"Strange ......" Jiang Yu was a little puzzled, and looked at the wine in his hand. He wanted to try, but after thinking about it, he gave up. Because he knew that if there was anything wrong with the wine, if he was tricked and only Ling Ruoxue was left, he was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with these people, although Ling Ruoxue's cultivation was extremely high, and his understanding was not bad. But the scheming is not deep.
"I'd like to see what you can do to get so many people out. Jiang Yu swept around with his eyes, almost remembering the faces of those who had drunk the wine, and had already made up his mind about the next step.
After being full of wine and food, Jiang Yu and the other three left Tingyuxuan, but Jiang Yu did not go far. Just waiting outside Tingyuxuan. Seeing a lone martial artist with a low cultivation level coming out of it, Jiang Yu took the other two to follow. Jiang Yu's idea was very simple, he just wanted to see how the people who listened to Yuxuan had taken this person away.
The warrior who was followed by Jiang Yu seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, and when he left the restaurant, he went straight to the nearby inn, and went to rest directly after finding a room.
"Big brother, do you want to wait here?" Standing at the door of the inn, the young man asked Jiang Yudao.
"Is there anything wrong?" Jiang Yu said as he looked at the young man.
The boy looked at the sun, it was just afternoon, and the sun was still sufficient. Turning back to Jiang Yu, he said, "If the eldest brother wants to wait as long as he wants during the day, it's best not to delay it until the night." ”
"Why?" Jiang Yu was puzzled.
"Shi'an City, there are monsters at night, walking around, and killing people, it's terrifying. The boy said in a colorful voice.
"Have you seen it?" Jiang Yu asked.
The young man nodded and said, "I met once, and it almost killed me." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yu, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, became a little interested, and said, "What do those monsters you said look like." ”
The young man scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I didn't see it too clearly, anyway, I was chased by them, and everyone else had seen it, so no one dared to come out at night in Shi'an City." Because there are a lot of monsters and often hurt people, almost everyone in Shi'an City knows about it. ”
"There is still such a thing...... Jiang Yu thought for a while and said, "How long has this matter lasted?" Jiang Yuxin said that Shi'an City and Tianfeng City are not far from each other, and if the thing that the young man said has existed for a few years, then it is impossible for the people of Tianfeng City not to have any rumors, and it is impossible for him not to know, because although he was blind during that time, Xiao Ruo often talked to him about outside things. I don't know, then there is only one possibility, that is, strange things are estimated not to be long.
"It's been less than a year since this happened. The boy said.
"Soon after the Yang family moved in?" Jiang Yu asked. When the young man heard this, he was stunned and said, "Yes, it's almost together!" He looked at Jiang Yu and asked, "Did the eldest brother think of something?" Jiang Yu didn't know if it was okay, and after pondering for a while, he said, "Let's wait until night." ”
The scorching sun was scorching, Jiang Yu would not stand stupidly, he estimated that the martial artist entered the inn, and it was estimated that he would sleep for a long time. He simply took the other two people to visit the nearby teahouses and theaters. Little by little, the time passed, and the day was getting westerly, and soon it was dark.
In other places, during the Tianyuan Festival, even at night, the lanterns must be lit up, and it will be lively for most of the night, but in Shi'an City, at dusk, there is almost no one on the street. And after the sun has completely set, there is not even a figure.
Jiang Yu and the others waited until it was dark and came to the door of the inn. Jiang Yu and Ling Ruoxue were nothing, but the young man always looked behind him from time to time, as if there was a ghost behind him.
"Scared?" Jiang Yu said to him with a smile. Jiang Yu knew that the easiest way to stir up a proud person was to challenge his self-esteem. The young man really got hit, and said in a strong voice: "Who is afraid? The wind is a little cold at night!"
Jiang Yu smiled and didn't say anything more. The three of them hid on a street corner, just in time to see the door of the inn. The sky was full of stars, and the streets were empty, and there was an indescribable silence.
"There seems to be a voice. Ling Ruoxue suddenly said to Jiang Yu.
