Volume 1: The Immortals Chapter 30: The Way of the World

A rich aroma of wine and meat wafted in the wind from afar, and following the aroma, a simple wine shop appeared in the field of vision of several people, Li Xuanji sniffled, and said to everyone: "Let's go there to rest, eat something and leave." ”

The liquor shop was very simple, with a small mud house as a kitchen, and a small shed in front of it, in which four or five tables were placed, and around each table were four long benches.

By noon, there were still a lot of people inside, and there was a lot of commotion, and when I looked at it, there was only an empty table.

Li Xuanji walked in first, sat on the bench and shouted, "Little Er, come and have something to eat and drink!"

The busy shopkeeper heard the voice, got out of the house, glanced at it casually, and saw the young man's dress, his eyes lit up, and he immediately bent down and smiled earnestly: "What do you want to eat?" ”

Li Xuanji nodded and said, "Then let's have some beef and wine, and two pots of good tea." ”

The young boy replied with a "Okay", then turned around and went back to the house with a smile.

Basically, the people who eat in this kind of place are ordinary people or merchants, and suddenly when they saw such a handsome boy who was dressed extraordinarily, they all looked sideways, and even their voices were a little quieter, but as the two girls walked into the tea shop, they were completely silent.

A girl in a big red dress walked in with a long sword, followed by a delicate maid, the girl in red skimmed around, frowned, sat on the stool next to the white-robed boy, and muttered: "Brother Xuanji, Wan'er also wants to ride a horse, and it is too boring to stay in the carriage." ”

Looking at Zhao Wan'er with a resentful face, Li Xuanji asked with a smile: "Can't you see that Miss Wan'er can ride a horse?"

Zhao Wan'er held her delicate chin with one hand, her eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, and she said in a soft tone: "Can't you learn, it's really not possible for Wan'er to ride a horse with Brother Xuanji." ”

The little girl in Tsing Yi behind her couldn't help but open her mouth wide when she heard it, and the young lady who was in her impression of being cold to any man, when did she change her temperament? Secretly glanced at the white-robed boy sitting opposite, and quickly lowered her head, her face was a little hot, this is the little boy of the General's Mansion?

Li Xuanji said helplessly: "Miss Wan'er, men and women don't kiss, and I'm really embarrassed to talk about my son." ”

The woman in red smiled even more happily, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said delicately: "Brother Xuanji, no one is afraid of a little girl, what are you afraid of." ”

Li Xuanji was instantly defeated, shook his head helplessly, and saw Yu Kunlun and a few people standing outside the wine shop, beckoned and said, "Brother Yu, tell the brothers to come in and rest." ”

The heroic man who changed into a subordinate costume explained a few words to a few people around him, walked in and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, son, but there is a difference between dignity and humility that cannot be overcome, and we are used to fighting, so we don't pay so much attention to it." ”

Li Xuanji just said casually, feudal society attaches great importance to rules, sometimes it is more important than life and death, and there are no rules, seeing Yu Kunlun insisting, he nodded and said: "That's okay, I will remember to ask my brothers to eat and drink enough, and the wine and meat are enough." ”

Yu Kunlun nodded and walked out with a smile.

Xiao Er, who came out with wine and meat, was slightly stunned when he saw the two extra girls out of thin air, especially the woman in red, who was like a fairy descending from the earth, and the plate in her hand was almost unstable.

The maid named Xiaoqing saw that Xiao Er was so rude, she dared to stare directly at her own young lady, her little face was cold, she took two steps to block Xiao Er's sight, took the wine and meat and put it on the table.

Xiao Er came back to his senses, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat, eager to slap himself in the mouth, most of the rich boy's temper is not good, if he accidentally annoys them, he will be beaten lightly, and he can see that the few people who look like family members outside are all carrying knives, and he is a little at a loss, so he heard the white-robed boy say: "Xiao Er, put on more wine and meat, and take it outside." ”

Xiao Erru was amnesty, and went back to the kitchen.

I have to say that this wine shop looks cold, the wine and meat are quite authentic, even Zhao Wan'er, who usually doesn't like meat, has eaten a lot, a small mouth is oily, and Li Xuanji, who is watching, also has a big index finger.

"Little two, hurry up and bring me two catties of beef and a pot of good wine! Fucking I'm starving to death!" A rugged man walked in with a knife on his back and scolding.

The man was dressed in a short outfit, his hair was disheveled, his face was dark, and a terrible scar ran from his left eye to the corner of his right mouth, which looked extraordinarily permeating.

The big man glanced around, saw that there was no vacancy, and was about to get angry, when he suddenly saw a table with only two people on the left, and the woman in red sitting couldn't see her face clearly, but the little lady in green clothes who was standing could see it clearly, and her fair little face could simply pinch out the water.

The big man rolled his eyes and grinned: "Xiao Er, why are you so fucking slow, let Lao Tzu see what you're doing!"

As he spoke, the big man walked past the table, as if he was about to enter the kitchen, but a big hand quietly wiped a handful on the buttocks of the woman in Tsing Yi.

Xiaoqing was startled, turned around and ran behind Zhao Wan'er, her eyes were red, and she said in a low voice of grievance: "Miss, that person touched me..."

Zhao Wan'er stood up violently when she heard this, glared at the big man angrily, and shouted coquettishly: "You rascal, don't you hurry up and apologize to my Xiaoqing!"

Dahan turned around and looked, his eyes instantly straightened, mother, could it be that he had met a fairy, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and said with a lewd face: "What's the matter, I just accidentally touched it, is it possible that Uncle Ben has to promise it with his body!"

The people who were eating quietly around all saw that something was wrong, and even a table quietly left a silver coin and hurriedly left this place of right and wrong.

Yu Kunlun heard the movement and immediately walked in, and saw the white-robed boy nodding at him, and walked up to the big man with a gloomy face, without saying a word, he was just a mouth.

With a crisp slap, the stout man was directly slapped to the ground, his mouth full of blood, and a few teeth seemed to have been lost.

Yu Kunlun secretly cursed, reached out and grabbed the collar of the big man, dragged it out like a dead dog, threw it to a few Xuanjia Battalion soldiers, and said coldly: "I'll leave it to you, go far." ”

The big man looked at the few people who came over with a sneer, his face was full of horror, the blood in his mouth kept gushing out, and he couldn't say a word when he was screaming.

An old man with silver hair ran out in a panic, vaguely saw that the big man with a knife was dragged away by a few people outside, he breathed a sigh of relief, and went back to the house and walked to Li Xuanji with the altar of wine. put the wine on the table, and saw that the two women were only slightly stunned, so they immediately came back to their senses and said gratefully: "Thank you Gongzi, this jar of wine should be regarded as the old man who invited Gongzi, no money." ”

Seeing that Xiaoqing was in a trance, she should have been frightened, Zhao Wan'er was a little distressed, and said something to Li Xuanji, and the two returned to the carriage.

At this time, there was only Li Xuanji on the table, looking at the old man who should be the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "Brother, why don't you sit down and have a drink?"

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and sat on the bench, stretched out his hand to open the mud seal and poured a cup for the white-robed boy and himself, and then drank it and said indignantly: "I know, why don't I know, my name is Sun Ergou, leaving the county's famous ruffian, as long as there is a business around, no matter how big or small, he has been falsely accused by him." ”

Li Xuanji wondered: "No one reported to the official?"

The old man drank a big bowl of wine again, his face was faintly red, and he sighed: "Why didn't you report it, firstly, the second is that Sun Ergou does not have much money, sometimes he just eats for nothing, and secondly, he is alone, and he comes and goes without a trace, and he is too lazy to take care of the government when he comes to the government. ”

Li Xuanji frowned and asked, "Is there such chaos in this world now?"

The shopkeeper was startled, sneakily swept around, and said softly: "Don't dare to talk nonsense, in fact, we are quite good, I have heard that there are still mountain bandits rampant in Liuxian County, and the son should be careful when he goes out." ”

Li Xuanji looked at the back of the old man leaving, and was relieved after thinking a lot in his heart, there is no absolutely peaceful dynasty from ancient times to the present, there is no point in drilling this bull's horn, as long as it doesn't provoke himself, the good thing of eliminating violence and peace is still left to others to do.

In the evening, Li Xuanji and others stayed overnight in Liuxian County, replenished some supplies by the way, and continued to hurry after breakfast the next day.

After resting for a night, several people looked in good spirits, and I heard Zhao Wan'er say that Xiaoqing's girl had a nightmare last night, and she was much better in the morning.

Li Xuanji couldn't help but sigh a little, it made sense for women in ancient times to go out less, and slowed down their horse speed a little to walk side by side with Yu Kunlun, mentioning what the old man said yesterday, and asked: "Brother Yu, I heard the shopkeeper of the wine shop say yesterday that there seem to be mountain bandits in Liuliu County, and I don't know if it's true or not, is it powerful?"

Yu Kunlun knew that Gongzi didn't go out often, and said with a smile: "Gongzi is too worried, don't say whether what the shopkeeper said is true, even if you really encounter mountain bandits, they are all rabble, and they can be solved in an instant." ”

Since he said this, Li Xuanji no longer thought about these bad things, took out a sheepskin map from his sleeve and handed it over and said: "Brother Yu, you have fought, you can arrange the route behind, nothing else is required, but it must be fast." ”

Yu Kunlun took the map and trembled in his heart, this map is too detailed, all kinds of cities on it are densely packed, and even some small villages and towns are marked, if this thing falls into the hands of other countries, it will be a disaster for the Celestial Empire, and he can't help but hold the map tightly and look at it carefully.

It didn't take long for Li Xuanji and the others to leave the official road and turn into a mountain trail.

Half an hour into the mountain, you can see the surrounding ancient trees towering, full of greenery, riding a horse slowly in it has a unique taste.

Zhao Wan'er lifted the curtain, looked around and asked suspiciously, "Brother Xuanji, where are we going, how did we go up the mountain?"

Li Xuanji turned around and explained: "Crossing this mountain is Fengyang City, which is at least five days faster than taking the official road, so Miss Wan'er should be patient." ”

The woman in red smiled and was about to speak, when she saw a big man in the jungle walk out with a displeased face, and she was so frightened that she quickly retracted into the carriage.

The big man was tall and strong, his clothes were shabby, and he was carrying a spear in his hand, although he stopped in front of everyone, there was a sense of righteousness, "This road is not passable, you leave the silver money and go back the same way!"

I heard another voice in the forest: "We don't want money, you ask if there is a woman, if you can't bring the woman back, we will all be finished!"
