Long Shiqiu's face was pale, and his eyes were staring at Yin Fengling fiercely.

Tang Shiyao was full of interest in the topic just now: "Brother Yin, please tell me, how many women has he deceived?"

Yin Fengling grabbed a handful of chopsticks from the chopsticks and placed them on the table one by one, as if he really didn't know how to count.

Swing a mouth and mutter, as for what was said, Tang Shiyao couldn't understand a word, when it came to the sixth one, Tang Shiyao's face was already ugly.

Ghost Xiao sighed and took out a silver ingot from his arms: "Man, settle the bill." ”

The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face: "This master, your friend has already settled the account." ”

"He's not my friend. Long Shiqiu stood up and left, and as soon as he walked outside the door, the man who struck iron blocked the way again.

"You still want to fight?"

Devil shook his head.

Only then did Long Shiqiu realize that there was a big burden behind the ghost flute, and it looked like he was going to go far away.

Yin Fengling stood up and said to Long Shiqiu: "From today onwards, Ghost Xiao will follow you, because as soon as he leaves your side, I will arrest him and go to prison." ”

Long Shiqiu sighed and said, "What do you mean by this?"

Yin Fengling said lightly: "You used my Yin family's thunderbolt to cause such a big disaster, if trouble comes to the door, I have to know where you are." ”

Long Shiqiu had to smile bitterly.

Yin Fengling cut his hands upside down, Shi Shiran walked out of the restaurant, and before leaving, he didn't forget to tell the ghost Xiao: "If you don't want to eat prison food, it's best not to leave him an inch." ”

The ancient road, the remnant sun goes west.

Long Shiqiu's horse was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, but no matter what speed it was advancing, the ghost flute always followed behind him, always maintaining a distance of three or four zhang.

It seems that this person not only has amazing arm strength, but also foot strength, and he only sweats a little after dozens of miles.

Tang Shiyao kept looking back at him, and she couldn't bear it.

"When we get to the front foothold, shall we also buy him a leg power?"

Long Shiqiu said lightly: "He can choose to go back, and I didn't let him follow." ”

Tang Shiyao glared at him, and made up her mind in her heart.

The three of them finally arrived in Shuangliu Town before dark.

Shuangliu Town is adjacent to Hankou in the west and faces Ezhou across the river, and the water and land transportation is extremely developed. The Southern Song Dynasty poet Lu You wrote on the way to Kuizhou on the way to Kuizhou to judge "Into Shu" has a description of Shuangliu Town.

Linjiang Inn is located in the water and land to Tianjin, is the largest inn within a radius of 100 miles.

There are three courtyards inside and outside the inn, and dozens of large and small guest rooms. The southernmost restaurant is built on the river, the three-storey building faces the Yangtze River, and the guests can overlook the smoke and waves from afar, which is really the best choice for drinking and writing poetry and gathering friends.

When Long Shiqiu and the others came to the Linjiang Inn, the sun had already set.

But I saw that the inside and outside of the inn were brightly lit and lively. From time to time, there are guys carrying food boxes without touching their feet and shuttling back and forth between the restaurant and the riverside wharf.

Most of the shipowners who were busy loading and unloading the goods did not have time to enter the restaurant to eat and drink, they had to personally deliver the number of goods, but also personally weigh the silver taels, and also had to prevent the villain from secretly cheating, so when their ship docked at the dock, the guys in the restaurant filled the food box with wine and food and sent it to the ship.

After a long time, the merchant ships with various flags often waited at the dock before they docked, and the guys carrying the wine and food were already waiting at the dock early, and even the taste of the wine and food were prepared by the chefs hired from all over the country according to the origin and preferences of the ship owner.

Therefore, as soon as the merchant Jia Chuan's family arrived here, he felt very cordial, and even had a sense of belonging to home.

With such a thoughtful and heart-warming service, the business is not good.

Just like now, before Long Shiqiu's horses stood firmly, two little servants had already galloped to the horses and led them to the door of the inn. As soon as you lift your feet, you will be dismounted under your feet.

Looking up, the door is particularly conspicuous with a pair of red background and gold characters, the upper link on the left is "a thousand sails to a bachelor", and the lower link is "ten thousand horses to go to the heroes of ten directions", which can be described as strong and magnificent!

Long Shiqiu took the lead in striding into the restaurant, and Tang Shiyao and Ghost Xiao followed.

Looking around the restaurant, even Tang Shiyao, who was accustomed to seeing big scenes in the capital, couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

The decoration materials of this restaurant can be described as exquisite, even the corridor railings, tables, chairs and benches are carved with fine knife work. Carefully appreciated, flowers, birds, fish and insects, plum orchids, bamboo chrysanthemums are all available, and the end is pleasing to the eye.

The hall is full of guests, some are making fists, some are raising their glasses and talking, some are playing chess games to compete, and the most lively is the group of gamblers surrounded by the big long case in the northwest corner.

As soon as Tang Shiyao stepped into the hall, everyone felt that their eyes lit up, except for the group of gamblers who were concentrating, almost all men's eyes were on her.

Many people couldn't help but let out exclamations, and even some people had begun to swallow their saliva.

Tang Shiyao was uncomfortable, so she had to endure her anger and deliberately pretend not to care, seeing the shouting and cheering on the gambling table on the side, she couldn't help but take a closer look curiously, and there were two different gambling games on the table. The people on the southern half of the table were playing pai gow, and the group of gamblers shouting in a semicircle on the north side were playing dice.

Tang Shiyao doesn't understand Pai Gow, but she can understand dice.

Comparing size is both the easiest and the fastest way to win or lose.

This is the dealer's fourteen o'clock big eat, immediately have not admit defeat to roll up the sleeves, the mouth of the words to continue to buy small, gambling money is like this, the more you lose, the more you don't believe in evil.

"Buy and leave" the dealer shouted loudly, the dice bell settled, "fifty or sixty points big", and the dealer ate all directions.

Tang Shiyao suddenly became interested, looked left and right for Long Shiqiu and disappeared, and when she turned around, she saw him leaning on the counter and talking to a beautiful young woman in pink clothes.

The young woman was only twenty-five or sixteen years old, born with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, red lips and white teeth, a small fan in her hand sometimes fanning the fragrant wind, sometimes half-covering the spring color, and the two strands of hair on the cheeks gently brushed her face with the wind, adding a bit of seductive style.

Although Tang Shiyao couldn't hear their conversation, judging from the young woman's swinging waist and sultry eyes, Long Shiqiu's soul seemed to have been hooked by her.

"There's really nothing wrong with men. Tang Shiyao bit her lip and walked to the counter in a few steps, only to hear the young woman Gege smile and say, "Yo, what a Peugeot beauty." ”

Long Shiqiu saw Tang Shiyao's calm face, and coughed dryly: "Shiyao, let me introduce you, this is the proprietress of the boss, she is also surnamed Tang, and everyone who knows her calls her Tang Siniang." ”

Tang Shiyao glanced at the proprietress and muttered in her nose: "It's only been a long time, and I know who the surname is." ”

What kind of person is Tang Siniang, her eyes rolled and she already understood the reason, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't be nervous, sister, I have already married, my man is better than him except for him, you can rest assured, I will not fight with you." ”

"So you've known each other for a long time?" asked Tang Shiyao.

Long Shiqiu nodded, but had to admit it.

I saw Tang Siniang laughing and trembling, and the fan in her hand gently patted Long Shiqiu and said, "The room has been prepared for you, and I will have someone send the wine and food over in a while." ”

Long Shiqiu and the three of them had just walked on their front feet, and suddenly a meteor strode into the three of them outside the door.

The three big men wore a style of azure shorts, each holding a sword, and their faces were as heavy as water, and they picked up an empty table and sat down in the east corner.

The proprietress glanced at the three of them out of the corner of her eye, and the three of them only ordered six steamed buns and a plate of pickles.

Walking the rivers and lakes, you have to spend money everywhere, and naturally you can save it, and there are very few people who are generous after all.

Even so, the shopkeeper was still full of spring breeze, and after the pickled steamed buns were served, he also specially brought three cups of freshly brewed fragrant tea.

is like this when you know how to do business, unlike some snobbery, when you see that the guests don't have much oil and water, you ignore the love of cold noses and cold faces, and even make sarcastic and ridiculous words.

That kind of business often doesn't last long.

The first rule of the Linjiang Inn is that everyone who comes is a guest, and everyone is treated equally.

The three of them were eating steamed buns and pickles while discussing something in a whisper.

At this moment, a gust of wind outside blew in an old man holding a dusty hand.

This elder should be in his sixties, more than seven feet tall, with prominent cheekbones on his thin face, a cold light in his deeply sunken eye sockets, and a shark sheath ancient sword on his back.

No one noticed how the chief came in, was it really blown by the wind?

The sound in the hall, which was still bustling just now, was immediately much quieter, and even those who gambled had stopped shouting.

The three big men who had come in earlier stood up almost at the same time and bowed deeply to the old man. Lao Dao nodded slightly, slowly walked to the table of three and sat down, and the three big men sat down.

Tang Siniang gently shook the Luo fan with one hand and the abacus with the other, but her eyes looked at the person in the corner from time to time.

"A few masters, please come in!" The shopkeeper greeted, and five men in strong suits walked into the hall.

Walking in front was a burly and heroic man in green clothes, and behind him all four of them were armed with swords, all of them were tall and tall, and their eyes were like torches.

The man in green clothes had a sad face on his face, entered the door and looked around, and saw the Taoist chief just now, strode to the Taoist chief and whispered a few words in his ear, the Taoist chief nodded, and the five people who came sat down at the table next to him.

Seeing this, Tang Siniang made a calculation, turned around and went into the backyard.

Long Shiqiu and the other three went back to the house, and after settling down, the wine and food were also sent to Long Shiqiu's room.

Tang Shiyao's bedroom is next door to Long Shiqiu, and it is only a few steps away.

"How is it, are you satisfied with the environment here?" asked Long Shiqiu.

Tang Shiyao said: "I have slept in the grass pile of the broken temple with you, am I a squeamish lady in your eyes?"

Long Shiqiu saw that there seemed to be a trace of dissatisfaction in his tone, and he knew that it must be for the sake of the ghost.

Oni's room was at the end of the hallway, but he hadn't come out since he entered the room.

"Do you know why Yin Fengling wanted Ghost Xiao to follow me?" Long Shiqiu asked, obviously beyond Tang Shiyao's expectations.

"You know, didn't Yin Zhutou say, as soon as he leaves your side, he will be arrested and sent to prison. ”

Long Shiqiu shook his head, sat down and poured a glass of wine.

Tang Shiyao's eyes lit up, and she said, "He asked the ghost flute to spy on you, so that he could know where you were at any time?"

Long Shiqiu smiled slightly, and shook his head again.

Tang Shiyao really couldn't guess at this time, so she lowered her face and said, "Are you planning to play dumb riddles with me?"

Long Shiqiu picked up his wine glass and said lightly: "Yin Fengling wants me to protect him, because more than one person wants to kill him." ”
