At this time, I only heard the person next to me say: "When will the battle between the royal gate and the Aoki gang end, and now we people are not at peace." ”

"Who knows, as the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and one side will fall. ”

"Looking at this formation, it must be the Aoki Gang fighting back again. ”

"Whatever, let's go, let's go to Cuihualou for a drink or two, and by the way, go see my little Xiangxiang." ”

Only then did Jia Shenyi know that these people were all from the royal gate, and they must have gotten the news from the dock at this time and rushed to support them. Fortunately, Liu Rong withdrew with his brothers, otherwise the rudder would have been over.

At this point, he walked down the street with ease. He thought as he walked, preparing to take a look at the situation of the Sifang Restaurant before making the next step. So he asked someone for directions and walked directly to the Sifang Restaurant.

Jia Shenyi followed the road pointed out by others, turned a few streets, and came to a main street, walked a few steps, and saw a high-style restaurant at a T-junction. There is a plaque hanging on the lintel, which is the Sifang Restaurant. It's just that the white banner of the Aoki Gang at the entrance has now been replaced by the black banner of the royal gate.

He walked to the door of the restaurant, and saw a few fierce men wandering around the door, apparently guards arranged by the royal gate, in case the Aoki Gang came to make trouble.

He glanced inside the store again, and saw a few customers sitting bustling inside, talking in a low voice, it seemed that business was not very good. The most important thing is that he didn't notice the people of the Aoki Gang, and he felt at a loss, so he turned around and left.

He walked two more streets, and while his stomach was beating with hunger, he found a random hotel, walked in, picked a seat, sat down, and prepared to eat.

Seeing that he looked in a hurry, Xiao Er hurriedly poured a cup of tea and asked him where he was going and what he wanted to eat. He smiled but didn't answer, and after reporting a few dish names, Xiao Er wrote down Zhang Luo, and he drank tea.

He glanced inside the store and saw that more than a dozen tables were occupied, and it seemed that business was good. At this moment, he saw a young man sitting alone on a table by the stairs, and a sword was placed on the table.

Jia Shenyi took a closer look at the young man, and saw that he was about twenty-two or three years old, wearing a gorgeous gold-rimmed white shirt and a delicate beaded crown on his head, and he was heroic. The face is sharp and angular, and the appearance is handsome and extraordinary. Especially a pair of eyes, clear and translucent, blazing. There is a melancholy air in it, which makes people feel pity.

Jia Shenyi guessed that he must be a famous family, so he cheered for him at the moment, and secretly praised himself: What a rare young talent in the world. can't help but have a sense of friendship with a character like him.

At this time, Xiao Er came up with the dishes, and after setting them up, he said to Jia Shenyi: "Guest officer, the dishes you want are ready, please use them slowly." ”

Jia Shenyi hurriedly grabbed Xiao Er, pointed at the white-clothed boy and asked, "Xiao Er, whose young master is this in the city, born so handsome?"

Xiao Er looked at it and said, "I don't know, but listening to his accent just now, it should be a guest passing by from other places." ”

After Jia Shenyi heard this, he felt a little lost in his heart, and waved his hand to let him go.

He sat and ate and drank, and drank a few sips of wine in a row, but he couldn't help but look at the man in white.

I don't know if you have noticed, when you meet a person with a particularly strong aura, your attention will be unconsciously attracted to him. It's like a beautiful woman who always makes people want to take a few more looks.

And right now, the man in white is such a person with a strong aura.

Jia Shenyi said secretly in his heart: "I didn't expect to be lucky to meet a heroic young chivalrous man here." "I drank happily at the moment.

I don't know how long it took, but I saw two people walking in from outside the door. is an old man with a hunchback at the waist, with a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old singing and performing arts.

I saw them walking towards the shopkeeper, and after the old man said a few good words to the shopkeeper, he couldn't stop bending down to thank him.

The old man took a long stool, put it in an unobtrusive place, took a lute from the cloth bag he was carrying, and gave it to the little girl to hold.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a gong, walked to the center of the hotel with one hand, struck it twice, bowed to the guests, and said a little tiredly: "Ladies and gentlemen, princes and distinguished guests, you are old and polite." My grandfather and grandson passed by your land, and in order to make a living, they borrowed the treasure of the store to play and sing a little song for everyone for the officials to enjoy. Everyone thinks it's good, reward a few small coins, and if you feel unsatisfactory, please also praise the personal field, thank you here. ”

The old man turned back, took the pipa from the little girl's hand, picked it up and sat down, he nodded to the little girl, and began to play it.

The little girl has a good face, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, but because of the bad family environment, she is dressed plainly, and she is not dressed with fat powder, so she looks inconspicuous, but it can't hide her beautiful appearance in the cardamom years.

As soon as she opened her voice and sang, she could only hear her clear speech and crisp voice, which was very amazing, and immediately won a full house.

Jia Shenyi listened to the little music he listened to, drank the wine, and secretly screamed yes.

I raised my eyes to look at the boy in white again, and saw that he was also listening to the song intently, with an elegant demeanor and a little pride, and I was very relieved.

The little girl had just sung a few tunes when she heard a burst of laughter and slapstick outside the door. Then four or five obscene minions walked in with a fat young master in their arms.

The fat boy saw the little girl singing at a glance, and stared at her with a pair of eyes that were confused, like a hungry wolf staring at a sheep, and a shark smelling blood.

He walked towards the little girl unconsciously, and teased: "Little beauty, the little song is good." ”

The little girl was so frightened that she hurriedly hid behind the old man, trembling and not daring to make a sound.

When the hotel shopkeeper saw the fat young master, he hurriedly nodded and waited: "Young Master Zheng, how can I have time to come to the small shop today, it really adds a lot of glory to the small shop." ”

It turned out that this person's name was Zheng Meng, and he was known as "the dumb little overlord". is the eldest son of Zheng Yucong, the current prefect of Ezhou, with a noble status, and he is also a tyrant that no one dares to provoke in Ezhou City. That's why the shopkeeper came up to greet him in person.

Zheng Meng didn't even look at him, and said arrogantly: "You go out of the way first." He smiled at the little girl who sang the song: "I just passed by the door of the store, and I heard the little song you sang, which made my heart itch, so uncomfortable." ”

The minions behind him also cooperated with him and laughed: "We too, so do we." ”

Seeing the situation, the hotel shopkeeper was busy flattering beside him: "As long as Young Master Zheng likes it, it's fine." He glanced at the old man, telling him not to stand still and to continue singing a little song.

After all, the old man is an old man who has traveled from south to north, he is well-informed, and he knows that the identity of the fat young master is noble, and he can't afford to provoke him, so he hurriedly got up and stepped forward, and saluted the fat boy very politely, and said: "Young Master Zheng wants to listen to the music, because he can afford to look at the little old man, you will be invited to take a seat, and the old master and grandson will continue to sing." ”

After listening to the flattery, Zheng Meng was full of joy, and smiled to the person beside him: "It's still old and can speak." A group of people walked towards an empty table.

After sitting down, he said to the shopkeeper who was standing aside and waiting for him with a domineering face: "What are you still standing for, why don't you go and bring all the good wine and food you have here, Young Master Ben is still waiting to listen to the music." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly smiled and went to prepare the wine and food, and asked Xiao Er to serve it quickly.

Zheng Meng nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the little girl with an obscene face, and said with a smile: "Let's start, little girl." ”

Under the comfort of her grandfather, the little girl stood up again, quickly adjusted her mood, and continued to sing a little song. Caused thunderous applause from everyone.

After the little girl sang a few songs, everyone was still immersed in the sound of heaven, and the old man accepted it when he saw it, and hurriedly stuffed the gong noodles into the little girl's hands. The little girl immediately understood, and was busy holding the gong noodles along the table to ask for rewards.

The first two tables were all bronze plates, and when he arrived at the table of the white-clothed man, he took out a piece of broken silver and put it on the surface of the gong.

The little girl also looked at him twice, and was very grateful.

Jia Shenyi saw all this.

The little girl then carefully held the gong and walked in front of Zheng Meng, her body trembling.

Zheng Meng touched a silver ingot from his arms, which was ten taels, and said with a smile: "Little girl, what are you shaking, I'm afraid that my silver will bite your hand." He dangled the silver in one hand in front of her, but he did not put it on the gong, and with the other hand he ran into the little girl's lap.

The little girl noticed his misdeeds, and was immediately frightened, and took a step back in a panic, and cried out, "What are you doing, rascal?" "Turn around and leave.

Zheng Meng listened to her scolding himself as a hooligan, which aroused his desire to conquer, and instead of getting angry, he laughed proudly, causing the minions next to him to try their best to slap him.

Seeing the situation, the attendant hurriedly stopped the little girl and pushed her to Zheng Meng's side.

Zheng Meng took advantage of the situation to grab her hand and said, "Little beauty, why don't you even want to leave without a reward." He got up again and slowly approached the little girl, grabbed her waist and took it into his arms, and said lightly: "Come, accompany Young Master Ben for a drink, this ingot of silver is yours." ”

The scoundrels laughed and cheered.

The old man hurriedly got up and walked forward, crowded among the scoundrels, begging loudly, and said, "Young Master Zheng, the little granddaughter is not sensible, you can spare her, Young Master Zheng, please, spare her." ”

Seeing that the old man was disturbing behind him, the subordinate who followed him pushed the old man and scolded: "Old immortal, get out of the way and stay." ”

The old man struggled to get up again, knelt down and grinded over, kowtowing and begging: "Young Master Zheng, please, let the little granddaughter go, please." ”

Zheng Meng was holding the little girl and pouring her wine hard, very happy, and suddenly heard the old man crying and crying in the back, a little disappointed, and immediately glanced at the attendant, and said: "Drive the old one out, and sweep the young master's interest here." ”
