Chu Qing turned around and came to the Gu family and the old shop, gave the little second brother a little silver as usual, and looked for a guest named Shanqi and Huotian. As he was talking, two people came out of the store, both in their twenties, laughing and walking out, behaving very casually, and there were no swords on their bodies.

The shopkeeper said: "Guest Chu, this Guest Zhang and this Guest Xia are all from western Sichuan, if you want to find someone, you might as well inquire with the two of them." Chu Qingliu went over and said "excuse me" to the two of them, and reported their names, and the two of them also registered. The younger surname Zhang is called Zhang Shenglu, and the meaning is naturally that the three generals Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide are stronger than Lu Bulu Wenhou. took such a name, but I don't know if he will feel uncomfortable when he sees the person surnamed Lu, the older one is named Xia Yanglong.

Zhang Shenglu said: "Wanghaizhuang is not small in the gorge, it is Kunlun Branch, and we have heard about it in Emei Mountain." Brother Chu wants to find a mountain and a fire field, I don't know why? Can you still tell our brother?"

This man was only twenty-three or four years old, with a well-rounded face, plain clothes, and polite speech, but when he spoke, a kind of arrogance hit people's faces. If you change someone else, even if you deliberately carve and cultivate it since childhood, this kind of arrogance is not easy to cultivate, it can only be said to be natural.

Chu Qingliu said: "I received a letter from the Mei family of the Jiangling Kainan Dart Bureau, saying that the two of Shan and Huo have also arrived in Hengshan, and asked me to find them, and I have a few words to tell." "I'm amazed that I can tell a lie so well.

Zhang Shenglu looked at Xia Yanglong and said: "Senior brother, you see that these two gang leaders of Longhutang are willing to go to the Mei family outside the gorge to find bodyguards, and they go north again and again to find the people of the Kongtong faction, but they refuse to deal with us nearby, so they act perversely, which can only be regarded as an outlier. ”

Xia Yanglong said indifferently: "Their kung fu doesn't match us. ”

Zhang Shenglu said: "Friend Chu, have you heard it? Since we live here, the two of them will never live here, you better go elsewhere to find it." Then he walked out again.

Zhang Shenglu took a few steps, suddenly stopped and turned around, glared, and said, "Friend Chu, what you just said is a lie. I took six steps, thinking that you would wake up and tell me the truth, but I didn't expect you to go all the way to the dark, and you are too good at underestimating people. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "Friend Zhang, it was only after you took six steps that you realized that there was something suspicious in my words, not that you deliberately wanted to leave me a gap to tell the truth." Your method is no different from Mr. Fate on the street, the so-called turning with the rudder, talking about yourself, asking questions urgently, and sleeting in the wind. With a little attention, everyone can learn this knowledge, and there is not much difficulty. While talking, he examined the doubts in his words, but he was at a loss. When he said this, didn't he ask a question urgently and suddenly make a difficulty?

Zhang Shenglu stood in place and said, "You say, what's wrong with your words that arouses my suspicions?"

Chu Qingliu said: "Prime Minister Zhuge is so loyal, but Master Liu still has to doubt him. It's all because you're thinking too closely, insisting on doubting, thinking too much, but it's not that there is any flaw in my words. "In other words, you're oversmart.

"How can I guess why you are suspicious? Even if a person is not suspicious, it is not difficult to pretend to be suspicious. Farewell. ”

Zhang Shenglu said: "Friend Chu, how about we make a bet? If I can prove that what you just said is all false, can you follow me to Emei Houshan to live for three years, and sprinkle and sweep every day? If I lose, I will go to your Wanghaizhuang to sprinkle and sweep for three years." ”

Chu Qingliu said: "The two of you have talked to me so far, but in fact, you have already lost a game. I signed up for Chu Qingliu and lived in Wanghaizhuang, and the two of you knew the origin of my sect. But you only report one name, saying that you are from Mount Emei, and that there are 100 temples and thousands of views in Mount Emei, which family and faction are the two? Why don't you say it explicitly?

Zhang Shenglu looked at Xia Yanglong and sneered: "Senior brother, it seems that our reputation outside the gorge is really pitiful. Friends Chu, we are the people who tie the Niu Peak of Mount Emei to "wash the heart of the Buddha Sea", which is called the "Emei Buddha Sea School", and some good friends simply call it the Emei School. However, we have absolutely no intention of leading the various factions of Mount Emei, and we really can't afford to have that mind. Do you understand?"

Chu Qingliu said: "The four words of the Buddha Sea, I have written it down from now on, take a step first." ”

Zhang Shenglu waited for him to walk past him and said, "Since you have no intention of making a move today, if I make a move first, I will lose." We'll see you again someday. ”

Chu Qingliu ignored him and walked straight over.

At this time, this small saucer rushed up, it can be said that you can see people in the rivers and lakes every ten or so steps, Chu Qingliu walked slowly and watched slowly, paying attention to listening. After walking not far away, I saw that the hotel in the south of the road had already had a lot of guests, and there was a lot of noise in the windows of the building facing the street. At this time, it was too early for lunch, but Chu Qingliu also went upstairs.

Seeing that he was alone, the runner casually gave him a half-table against the wall. Eating and drinking on the wall is tantamount to seeing a big guy arrogant for no reason, and seeing a beautiful woman splashing is a very disappointing thing, if Chu Qingliu had to listen to the matter, he would never come to squeeze this excitement and suffer from this awkwardness.

The whole upstairs was already full of people touching people, knives touching knives, either A's chair back touched B's side ribs, or C's knife handle hit Ding's waist and eye, but fortunately, he didn't drink enough wine to have a quarrel. Everyone couldn't stop complaining about the shopkeeper and the runners, saying that they were too black-hearted, and if they let people come up again, they would burn down the restaurant, so that no one should eat or drink.

The so-called half table is a square table divided into two halves, only two table legs, the legless side is tied against the wall with a buckle, put away when not in use, and hung up when there are many guests. Needless to say, this half-table will take up a lot of the aisle floor, which is very annoying.

Chu Qingliu sat there, neither urging wine nor vegetables, just sitting against the wall, listening attentively to the people around him. After a short time, I have heard that there are people from the "Red Knife Society" in Shaozhou, "Thousand Chaidao" in Guizhou, and "Drunkard Mountain" in Luzhou.

The most powerful and powerful is the "sea and sea guest" in Jianzhou, Fujian Road. The word Haihai is taken from the meaning of eating the sea by the sea, and in the local language, it also has the meaning of being high. There are many people in the "sea and sea customers", specializing in trading on the sea, and they can also come to Hengshan, which shows that even if the gang on the sea is very good, it is also very face-saving for Miaoyiguan.

Chu Qingliu finally waited for the wine, took the wine jug and poured a full glass, and before he put down the wine jug, a big hand on his left shoulder had already leaned over and took the wine glass. The man seemed to have been standing beside him for a long time, waiting for the wine, and it seemed that he had arrived just in time.

The man drank dry wine and said, "It's not bad." He put the glass back on the table and said, "One more glass." "Listen to the voice, it should be an old man.

Chu Qingliu didn't look back at who was standing next to him, moved the wine glass back to its original place, and slowly poured wine into the glass, but secretly kept enough intentions, determined not to let this person succeed again.

The wine glass was full, Chu Qingliu held the pot in his right hand, put his left hand on the table, and said, "Come and get it." ”

The man said, "Young man, you are too arrogant to know how to respect the elderly. The right hand was still stretched over Chu Qingliu's left shoulder. Chu Qingliu waited for the tip of his elbow to pass his shoulder, raised his right knee and slammed it at the bottom of the table, his strength was everywhere, and the wine glass flew up and flew straight towards Chu Qingliu's mouth. Chu Qingliu opened his mouth to hold the wine glass, raised his head and drank the wine dry, and took the empty glass with his left hand and put it back on the table.

The man was very displeased, and said, "This can't be counted, you are a troublemaker, not real kung fu." Have another drink. But his voice was not very loud, so as not to attract the crowd to watch.

Chu Qingliu said: "Another cup, I still have to make trouble." ”

The man said, "You just have to make trouble." If I can't drink this glass of wine again, I won't drink anymore---- no, I won't drink in front of you anymore. ”

Chu Qingliu poured the third glass of wine according to the law, and without waiting for the man to stretch out his hand, he put the wine jug towards his left shoulder with his right hand, stretched out his left hand from under his right elbow, took the wine glass in his hand, retracted his right hand, stretched out his head and drank the wine glass in his left hand, but the wine jug on his shoulder did not fall.

The man said: "I feel sorry for the pot of wine on your shoulder, and I don't want to hurt you, so I couldn't grab the wine." You're already a scoundrel in doing so, so let's have another drink. The words were heavy, but there was not much anger in his voice.

Chu Qingliu said: "If you don't come, what's the point of playing around like this? If you want to drink, you might as well sit down and drink, and you have to move your hands and feet to drink a glass of wine, why bother coming?" turned his face to look at the man.

This man was dressed in a Taoist dress, and the pulp was very neat. The beard is white, the roots are like jade silk, the complexion is like the new sand white wheat, just after half a day, it is red to say that it is red, it is white to say that it is white, red, red to have a god, white, white to powerful. This old Taoist has the demeanor of a bride.

Chu Qingliu got up and gave up his seat and said, "Dao Chief, please take a seat." Standing and pouring another glass of wine, he said, "Dao Chief, please use it, but unfortunately there is only wine, and the food has not yet come." ”

The old Taoist took the wine glass, poured the wine into the wine jug, clamped the handle of the jug with his two fingers, raised his head and drank it dry, took out a small piece of silver and put it into the jug, and said, "You come with me, and I will take you to a good place." ”

Chu Qingliu said: "Why should I go with you? I haven't eaten yet." ”

The old Taoist said: "You can't eat food one day? You have eaten for more than 20 years, haven't you eaten enough? I am a person, but you can see it whenever you want to." Actually, you really want to go with me, but you don't dare. It's all petty here, and it's not worth your guilt here. ”

Chu Qingliu smiled and said, "Since you say so, I'll go with you." "Go downstairs first.

When the two came downstairs, the old man walked to the counter, took out a gold leaf, spread it out, and led the bookkeeper to him. The old Taoist used the little fingernail of his left hand to draw twice on the gold leaf, dividing a gold leaf into four, and then waving his hand, a small piece of gold leaf floated to the hand of the bookkeeper. The old Taoist said: "Put it away, this is my reward for you---- don't speak." ”

"If you can find me a clean private room within a cup of tea, and another person will wait for you, and you can get a table of first-class wine in half an hour, the remaining three will still be your small rewards, and we will count the wine and dinner separately. ”

The shopkeeper shook his eyes for a while, and then shook his head and said, "Old Daoist, yes, all of them, I'll do it, and the two of you will wait here for a while." ”

The old Taoist nodded, took the teapot and cup on the counter, and poured a full cup of hot tea.

The bookkeeper had only a cup of tea to go, so he came back and invited the two of them to the table. Chu Qingliu touched the teacup, and there was really a little bit of enthusiasm, and said with a smile: "Dao Chief, Mr. Accounting's hand is also comparable to warm wine and slashing Huaxiong." ”

The old Taoist said: "Why do I say that the upstairs are all petty feet? Isn't it because they didn't think of this idea? Even if they did, they were reluctant to spend the gold and silver." It is said that money can make ghosts grind, but when it comes, they all work hard to make money and make themselves into the little ghosts who push and grind, isn't it stupid?"

Chu Qingliu listened to him boast all the way, followed the bookkeeper, and came to a side room.
