Lincheng Ink Chapter 188: A Write-off

Zhong Xihou put on a crown robe and sat there leisurely drinking tea. The door was pushed open, and the old dragon king let out a hearty laugh as he walked. Zhu Yinuo, who was following behind the old dragon king, also had a faint smile on his face, and there was no love or hate in his eyes.

The grandfather and grandson sat down separately, and Zhongxi Hou poured tea for the two, and the tea was seven points full, just right.

The old dragon king raised the teacup, blew the hot air, and took a sip slightly, but frowned. And Zhu Yinuo directly raised the teacup and drank it all.

"City Lord Zhong, why don't we change positions? City Lord Zhong's ability to make money and martial arts cultivation are admirable, but I really don't dare to compliment this tea art, old man. โ€

Zhong Xihou drank all the tea in the cup, smashed his mouth, and said suspiciously: "Is there a problem with this tea? โ€

The old dragon king was a little helpless, shook his head, and said: "If there are more tea leaves, the tea is too strong, and the taste will always be a little worse if the tea leaves are less." The hot water used for brewing is higher, the tea will break, and the temperature is lower, and the taste will not be brewed. โ€

Zhong Xihou nodded, got up directly, and gave up the main seat.

The old dragon king and Zhong Xihou changed positions, poured the remaining tea soup in the teapot, and cleaned up the tea residue. Then he directly poured out the remaining hot water in the kettle, and everything started from scratch.

There was nothing to drink, Zhong Xihou directly sat down a little lazily, looked at Zhu Yinuo again, and saw Zhu Yinuo's eyes looking back, still the same loveless and hateless look, Zhong Xihou smiled. Then Zhong Xihou retracted his gaze and continued to stare at the old dragon king making tea.

The old dragon king acted skillfully, took the tea knife from the tea cake to separate a piece of tea leaves of the appropriate size, and then used the tea clip to send it to the pot leak, at this time the kettle also began to emit white smoke slightly, and the old dragon king lifted the kettle again and poured the hot water that had not yet boiled into the teapot.

Brewed with hot water, the fragrance of tea is permeated in an instant. And the kettle was put back on the charcoal stove and continued to boil, just waiting for the water to boil before it was used to make tea.

After more than a dozen intervals, the old dragon king shook the teapot, sniffed it closely, and then directly poured the tea soup inside.

Zhong Xihou looked puzzled and asked, "Old prince, what did you pour a good tea?"

The old dragon king frowned, and asked with some uncertainty: "The tea that the Zhongcheng Lord just drank was brewed directly?"

Seeing that Zhong Xihou nodded, the old dragon king smiled bitterly and didn't say anything more. The water boiled, the old dragon king lifted the kettle again, the boiling hot water poured into the teapot, and the fragrance of the tea came to his face again, inhaling into his nose, which was intoxicating.

After pouring it and handing it to him, Zhong Xihou picked up the teacup, took a sip slightly, and then frowned. He stared directly at the tea soup in his teacup, thinking, the same tea leaves, the same water, and the taste are indeed very different.

The old dragon king also took a sip, and then asked, "Zhongcheng Lord, this time, why did you see the old man and me directly, instead of looking for a man?"

Zhong Xihou couldn't help but sneer, and simply drank the hot tea in the cup in one gulp, and said: "If you tell the old prince, in the eyes of the lonely, His Royal Highness the Prince is not a sudden death." On which day did the prince know, Lone already knew when he left the West, old prince, is it credible?"

Hearing this, whether it was the old dragon king or Zhu Yinuo, they couldn't help but stop their movements and stared straight at Zhongxihou. Being stared at like this by the old and the young, Zhong Xihou laughed, put down the teacup, and said: "Life and death, wealth and nobility, there is a fixed number, although Lone knows, but he can't say it, he can't say it." โ€

Zhu Yinuo felt that Zhongxi Hou was bragging, but the old dragon king would not think like this. The old dragon king sighed and asked again, "Does the city lord know ยทยทยทยทยทยท?"

Before the words fell, Zhong Xihou raised his palms in front of him, interrupting the old dragon king's words. Zhong Xihou still said, "Don't say".

Zhongxi Hou didn't want to say, and the old dragon king didn't want to ask again, today's old dragon king asked a simple question, and listened to him: "Then why did the Zhongcheng Lord come over today?"

Zhong Xihou's answer was also extremely crisp, his eyes were like eagle falcons, so deep that they seemed to penetrate people's hearts, and he said: "Where did you get the thunder curse for ten thousand burials?"

The old dragon king's hand was very steady, and he did not tremble because of Zhong Xihou's question. Since he was about to open the skylight and say something bright, what Zhong Xihou asked today, the old dragon king would answer directly.

"There is a place in the world, called Jingzhou, and there are fine dogs in Jingzhou, called Yanyun Ride. โ€

Zhong Xihou was not surprised by this, nodded, and said happily: "The old prince is happy, then, the old dragon king wants to ask, but it doesn't hurt to say." โ€

The old dragon king glanced at Zhu Yinuo, with a smile on his face, and said, "Yinuo, do you have anything you want to ask?"

Zhu Yinuo clenched his fist, still the left hand, hesitated for a few moments, and finally couldn't hold back, and asked: "Where did Xiao Wang provoke Hou and the Zhongcheng Lord?"

When Zhong Xihou heard this, he laughed and laughed all around, not at all like the overlord of one side should be. But since he said it, it didn't hurt to say it, and he replied directly: "Because His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, I want to teach you a lesson." However, your finger is indeed not in the plan of His Royal Highness. โ€

Hearing the answer, the old dragon king's face was still unwavering, but Zhu Yinuo's eyes widened and he was stunned.

Zhong Xihou ignored Zhu Yinuo's reaction and began to ask again: "Why did those seven people die?"

The old dragon king's hand shook slightly this time, and the tea soup in the cup almost spilled, and then poured the remaining tea soup in the cup directly, and poured a new cup for himself. The old dragon king drank the tea, hesitated for a while, shook his head and sighed, and finally opened his mouth as if he had made a rather difficult decision.

"The ability of the city lord is his own family affairs, and this kid has interfered. โ€

The corners of Zhong Xihou's mouth twitched slightly, puzzled.

The old dragon king sighed again and said, "Just as in these years, from time to time some people will go to the west to look for trouble, those who have passed the city realm have entered but not left. Many of those who left Lincheng died in the yellow sands of the western land. The one who made the nine-section whip is a big man in your western land, right?"

Zhong Xihou nodded, and then said: "It is one of the thirteen horsemen under the command of Lone, called the Xuan Snake, and has been loyal to the city that I never sleeps for eight years. The snake did flee for its life to the West. โ€520

The old dragon king nodded, and then lamented: "In eight years, wolves can be raised as dogs, but unfortunately, in another eight years, the blood of snakes is still cold." โ€

"Oh, is that so, then, the Xuan Snake is also the person of Yan Yun's ride?"

The old dragon king nodded, drank another cup of tea, and said, "Jingzhou eagle claws are all over the twelve cities, perhaps, beside the Zhongcheng Lord, there are also people from Yan Yunqi or some other institution. โ€

Zhong Xihou nodded, and then said: "The old prince is the old prince, and even the people who have Yan Yunqi by Lone's side know it." โ€

"If the Zhongcheng Lord knows, it would be better to get rid of it as soon as possible. โ€

Zhong Xihou nodded again, and said meaningfully: "Snake blood is always cold, but wolves can raise dogs, what the old prince said is true." And those others, are there any people who are easy to be cold?"

"It's true that the four swordsmen are all my Yi Shui Han's people, it's a pity, it's a pity. โ€

Zhong Xihou frowned slightly, puzzled, and asked, "Old prince, this is a pity, what is a pity?"

"There is an organization in the world called Dusk Han Tower, and the Lord of Zhongcheng knows better than the old man. Seeing that Zhong Xihou nodded, the old dragon king hesitated for a few moments, not knowing whether to consider whether to talk or not, or organizing sentences, and finally said helplessly, "There are also people in my Yi Shui Han who have entered the Dusk Cold Building, but it's a pity, it's a pity, after all, it was known by the people in the Dusk Cold Building." โ€

"So?"

"So, someone came to the Dusk Han Building and helped my disciple Yi Shuihan. Thunder Niu and Blood Phoenix shot together, but finally let the little man slip away. โ€

Zhong Xihou's brows deepened, Lei Niu and the Blood Phoenix shot out together, and they could escape, little man, in an instant, a golden light shot out of his eyes, and finally the corners of his mouth were hooked, as if there was something in this that made him quite interested.

The old dragon king saw Zhong Xihou smiling at this time, but he didn't ask the reason, this time he asked instead: "The black armor of the city that never sleeps may have swallowed the white crows of Ziwei City?"

If you call someone else, you may be arrogant at this time, but this person is Zhongxi Hou, he shook his head directly, and said: "In the final analysis, my black armor in the west is not a general who is good at attacking cities in the end. So the old prince knows that in addition to that scroll, what is the other purpose of coming to the city alone?"

The old dragon king let out an "oh" sound, his face full of doubts.

Zhong Xihou didn't hide it, and he didn't need anyone to praise him, Zhong Xihou felt that his throat was a little dry, so he drank the cup of tea directly, and let out a long "ah" like drinking spirits, and then said: "Someone said to Gu Mingyan, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jinling City, has the talent to know people and make good use of them." โ€

When the old dragon king heard this, he laughed, and then said: "The lord of Zhongcheng said that it is not bad to advise the man to take care of government affairs and make some small means, but he can lead the troops to fightยทยทยทยทยทยท"

"So, Lone has been regretting one thing he once did, and Lone has always thought that those brothels were opened by Zhu Ying. โ€

Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel like a thunderbolt from the sky, and looked at Zhongxihou in a daze. After more than a dozen gaps like this, the old dragon king finally laughed with tears in his laughter. Looking at Zhong Xihou's gaze again, it was full of emotions and quite complicated. Zhongxi Hou did not avoid the old dragon king's gaze, his eyes were still blazing, facing him.

The old dragon king calmed down and said, "That woman, you should call her aunt, she is indeed the old man, and I sent it to Zhong Nanyan." โ€

Zhong Xihou didn't react like the old dragon king, he just nodded, and then said: "Gu knew early that if Gu fell in love with his own sister one day, he would be like that, and it was only a matter of time before he broke himself." It's a pity, it's a pity, the city that never sleeps is the city that never sleeps, and the city is the city. โ€

The old dragon king nodded and replied: "Indeed, after all, my Zhu family is used to Jiangnan, and I can't stand the dryness and wind and sand in the west." โ€

Listening to the conversation between the two, Zhu Yinuo was in a fog, even so, he still just listened quietly, did not speak, did not ask.

"The wind is up, falconry season. After watching this play of the Zhu family, Lonely, it's time to go back to the West. โ€

The old dragon king nodded, and then said: "The old people are urging their faces, and the new talents are on stage, and the drama will only get better and better." โ€

Zhong Xihou dipped his fingers in the tea, swiped it directly on the table, and then stopped speaking, got up, and walked outside the house. Halfway through, he stopped, looked at Zhu Yinuo, laughed, and then said, "I heard that someone gave you that thin horse, and Lone will find it for you." May you live up to the owner of this sword, nor to the heart of the man who gave you it. โ€

Hearing the thin horse, a smile appeared on Zhu Yinuo's face in an instant. Seeing Zhu Yinuo's expression, Zhong Xihou laughed and went out.

Zhong Xihou walked away, but the mouth was clear.

"The world is out of my generation, and the years are urging when I enter the rivers and lakes. In the talk and laughter of the emperor's hegemony, it is better than a drunk in life. Lifting the sword across the ghost rain, the white bones are like mountain birds flying in shock. Dust is like a tide, people are like water, only sighing a few people in the rivers and lakes. Fuck the rivers and lakes. โ€

Hearing Zhongxi Hou chanting the poem far away, the old dragon king nodded, and then said: "This poem of this black charcoal is not bad. โ€

Zhu Yinuo frowned and said, "Isn't this written by Li Xianren?"

Hearing his grandson say this, the old dragon king was suddenly stunned, and then his face was full of helplessness, and said: "Yinuo, Yinuo, let you study hard, don't read books." There are more than 1,000 poems by Li Xianren, which one of them can't be memorized by your grandfather?"

Zhu Yinuo frowned, pondered for a while, and then said: "To the prostitute of the dancing green building, the white jade boy with a double beard." โ€

Hearing his grandson's serious rebuttal, the old dragon king was slightly stunned, and he really thought about it. But helplessly, Fang Cai's own words were just arrogant nonsense, and now when his grandson said this, he was really stumped. The old dragon king pretended to be calm, took a sip of tea, and then asked, "Yinuo, where did you hear this poem?"

Zhu Yinuo did not hesitate, and said directly: "Li Yunhong heard it from the flower building." โ€
