Chapter Twenty-Three: The Delicacy of the World
"Rhubarb, you go outside and wait first, don't let people find out" Lin Chenben gently kicked the rhubarb who was dripping with salivation, and said in a low voice.
Rhubarb turned his head and saw that Lin Chen didn't seem to be joking, so he ran out sullenly, and couldn't stop spilling saliva all the way.
Lin Chenben listened carefully.
"Who is so bold, even the Gongsun family dares to offend, offending the Gongsun family in Qingbao Town, there is no doubt that he is killing himself!"
"This person is not very old, but he has a little courage, in fact, my grandfather still admires these young talents very much, I heard that this person scattered his wealth on the spot, and left, he was brave and strategic, and he was Chu Mou, and he sighed to himself."
Lin Chenben held his face with one hand, quietly turned around and glanced at the man who spoke, nearly forty years old, with a golden silk brocade robe, and at first glance, he was from a large family.
"Be cautious, Brother Chu, you can't say this in public..."
"Brother Gong, you, you're just afraid of this, that, what, Lao Tzu didn't participate, what's the matter? When did this world become the surname of Gongsun!" The man surnamed Chu shouted.
The man surnamed Gong looked embarrassed, got up and walked over, and sat in a row with the man in the brocade robe.
The man surnamed Gong looked around, leaned into the ear of the man surnamed Chu, and whispered: "Brother Chu, tonight' Shadow Moon Pavilion has an underground auction, you know, the auction is jointly organized by all forces, which is widely implicated, and it is also the main target of the suppression of Dongwu Kingdom for several years, to be honest, I received an invitation letter from Shadow Moon Pavilion a month ago, I believe Brother Chu also received it, at this time, there is no room for the slightest mistake, and you know the consequences." ”
The man surnamed Chu suddenly realized, his face instantly turned a little pale, and the momentum of his previous flying and domineering was all reined.
"Damn, how did I forget this, fortunately, Brother Gong reminded me, I heard that there are not a few rare treasures this time, and even exotic young girls have them. ”
A lewd smile flashed across the man's face.
The man surnamed Chu picked up the teacup, no longer discussed this topic, and said: "Come, Brother Gong, replace wine with tea, I will be the east another day, the breeze of Qingfeng Building is drunk, I haven't tasted it for a long time, I miss it very much, we don't get drunk and don't return!"
Lang Shuang, a man surnamed Gong, laughed and said, "Haha, I'm afraid Brother Chu doesn't miss the bar!"
...
This scene happened to be encountered by Lin Chenben, and when the man surnamed Gong was attached to his ears, Lin Chenben's aura attached to his ears and overheard the content of the conversation.
"Hehe, Shadow Moon Pavilion, rare treasures, it sounds pretty good, go take a look!" Lin Chen was worried that it was difficult to sell a lot of official silver, and when he heard that it was an underground auction, this was a rare opportunity, so he didn't have to worry about the silver not being able to get his hands on it, he was afraid that the silver would not be enough to spend, and at the same time, he could also increase his horizons and see the so-called rare treasures.
It's just that this invitation letter still has to think of a way, how to borrow it.
Just as Lin Chenben was holding his forehead and thinking hard about countermeasures, the voice of the shopkeeper sounded in his ears: "Guest officer, this is the dish you want to take away, one or two silver!"
After settling the account, Lin Chenben carried the bamboo strip and walked out, squatting on the left side of the door with the rhubarb looking at it, a tiger pounced and burst in, and Lin Chenben clamped his neck with one hand.
Rhubarb screamed, but the sound was choked in his throat.
"Quiet, return the rich man's dog, just like you, even the earth dog of Wang Ergou's family is not as good. Lin Chenben took the rhubarb to the side and opened the bamboo strips, and the hot juice and meat aroma came out, overflowing with fragrance.
But the rhubarb was in a hurry, the whole body swayed non-stop, and the eyeballs wanted to fall into the bowl.
Rhubarb landed steadily, took off on all fours, rushed to the bowl, buried the whole dog's face in the bowl, and swept the beat with a drum of cheeks, it was really a wolf, and a huge bowl of pork belly was seen in the middle of the mouth, and there was not even a little soup left, this cheap dog licked the empty bowl and hummed: "The world is delicious!"
"Master Chen, it's called Hua Ji, don't you want one?" Rhubarb licked the bottom of the bowl cleanly, and didn't forget to tease Lin Chenben.
Lin Chenben looked at Rhubarb's intoxicated enjoyment, and his desire for food was gradually aroused, but he had no chance to enjoy it, and when he heard Rhubarb's knowingly asking tone, he kicked out.
As soon as Rhubarb's mouth reached the edge of the bowl, there was a whoosh, and he was kicked away.
"I decided, I will call you cheap yellow in the future, effective immediately!"
Rhubarb ran back with a light step, and said cheaply: "Master Chen, you have the final say!" After speaking, he didn't pay attention to Lin Chenben, and the voice of the chirp sounded rapidly.
"Hurry up and eat, I'll give you a task later, don't come back if it's not done" Lin Chenben looked at the direction of the door of the restaurant and said.
"What... Task" Rhubarb bites half of the chicken called the flower, and the fat flows all over the ground.
Give Rhubarb a detailed explanation, let it follow the man surnamed Chu, find out the location of the mansion, and then return to the bamboo forest.
"I'm not going, Ben Huang has to eat when he is full, it's best to lie down for half an hour", Rhubarb shouted angrily.
When Lin Chenben heard this, a trace of anger flashed on his face, his eyes suddenly became fierce, and he glared at Rhubarb fiercely.
Rhubarb didn't dare to look at each other, turned his head, and said, "Why, why let me go, I don't want to go." ”
"Why? Just now you spent a full tael of silver, a tael of silver to feed the dogs, do you know, ordinary people's annual income is only five taels of silver, you eat other people's expenses for a few months, let you do some trivial things, you are reluctant, it seems, or let you go back to the night village. ”
Lin Chen knew that Rhubarb had not been willing to follow him all along, in order to make Rhubarb completely obedient, he could only use both soft and hard, of course, he didn't have to take Rhubarb around, but there seemed to be a providence in the dark, which made them have some kind of bond between each other.
Moreover, the vast search for the true way, alone in a sad past.
Maybe one day, under the sunset, a man and a dog, the elongated reflection will become a lingering picture.
As soon as Rhubarb heard that he wanted him to go back to Yese Village, of course he didn't do it, it was a fantasy to be able to eat meat so readily in Yese Village, at least the meat was really lying in his mouth in front of him.
"Unless... You promise me that after finishing things, let me have a big meal like now" Rhubarb looked at Lin Chenben with a little unwillingness, and finally compromised.
Lin Chenben wrapped his arms around him, looked disdainful, and continued to stare at the door of the restaurant.
"Hmph, I'll say yes if you don't speak. Rhubarb continued to nibble on the fatty chicken.
After waiting for a while, the man surnamed Chu in brocade robe and the man surnamed Gong came out one after another, in front of the restaurant, raised his hand to say goodbye, and when he parted, the man surnamed Gong made a figure-eight gesture, shook it, and turned away.
"Rhubarb, go, that brocade-robed man, remember, don't lose it, this is not a trivial matter"
Rhubarb quickly followed, and didn't forget to look back: "Remember what you promised me just now!"
Lin Chenben turned around and went back to the bamboo forest, took out the Heavenly Wolf Staff, pondered for a moment, had no clue, and did not see the slightest reaction when he used the aura to cooperate with the Stopping Thoughts.
Putting away his staff, Mari changed his clothes and headed for the west gate.
The West City Gate has gathered a large number of people waiting to leave the city, and there are many magnificent carriages.
Lin Chen didn't look at it much, he walked to the city gate billboard, ten zhang away from the billboard, he turned his spiritual eyes, most of the wanted people on the billboard were extremely vicious, and after sweeping it, he found that his portrait was actually posted at the top of the list.
When Lin Chenben saw his portrait, he was stunned in the wind, staring at the portrait with dull eyes, oh my God! This is the masterpiece of a soul abstract painter, the painting is so much that even his mother can't recognize it, if it weren't for the big yellow dog next to him, the painting is vivid, Lin Chenben wouldn't even recognize that the painting is himself.
didn't stay long, Lin Chenben returned to the bamboo forest, and Rhubarb had already returned, lying in the forest and snoring.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Chen had planned how to cleverly borrow the invitation letter.
