Chapter 411: The Old Man Came

By the time the eldest prince and a team of seven masters felt the wall, the wall had been surrounded by soldiers.

It can be said that there is a lot of water, obviously because of the explanation of the eldest prince before leaving, he treats this place as the top priority.

Don't say that ordinary people want to come and see what is happening, that is, ordinary people will be driven away if they stay in the periphery for a while.

Because of this, there are no people who dare to approach within a radius of one mile.

Because of this, there are a lot more, and after this place dispersed, those ordinary people gathered in the major restaurants and tea shops.

began to speak freely, and now is not a few years ago, when the first emperor just stepped on the rivers and lakes, and it can be said that everyone talked about the color change at that time.

But everything related to the rivers and lakes is to speak carefully, except for Mr. Storyteller, ordinary people are afraid of their own trouble.

But now it's different, don't say that the times have changed now, and even the emperor has changed, that is, some time ago, the entire southwest road where the people were open to the people, and that also passed a lot of words This story came out.

Most of them are based on real people and real things such as the emperor's rivers and lakes, so that some idle or idle ordinary people are fascinated by it.

That's why everyone will naturally talk about it or whisper a few words after listening to it.

That is why most of the legends and rumors that prevail on the rivers and lakes, as well as some operas, are spread from the southwest province.

Now is no exception, because of the recent major events in Hongguang City, everyone has seen it, so there is no one to talk about.

All speculations are said outside, and what's more, what is also talked about, is it the power of the Pingding King, and the troops are about to come to the city.

There are also people who say that there is a traitor in Hongguang City, and that traitor will open the city gate from the inside and welcome the army of the Pingding King.

One or two, saying that they have noses and eyes, are like they have the ability to predict the future.

When he said that he was happy, he slapped the table and hit the bench, the bowls collided with each other, and a mouthful of wine poured into his stomach.

After a while, it was estimated that those who had seen the Zhao family's mansion before also joined the wave of discussion, and the atmosphere of the entire restaurant was suddenly pushed to the highest point.

Sitting in the corner of the restaurant was a young man, alone at a table, with a plate of braised beef, a plate of peanuts and a pot of white wine.

You are eating freely, and your ears are listening to those people's talk, it is Liu Yuan who ran out of the inn.

Always staying in the inn room, Liu Yuan was still a little uneasy, and staying in the house, he was afraid that trouble would come to the door, so he simply came out to find out the news.

He didn't care at all if the second child of the Xia family would be caught, but what he cared about was when this matter would end.

After all, only after this matter is over, the Xia family will free up their hands to take care of Xia Lingling's affairs, and after Xia Lingling's affairs are over, the latter can help him.

However, when he came to this restaurant, Liu Yuan felt that he had really come to the right place, not only did he hear a lot of news, but he also had a deeper understanding of the grievances and grievances of the Xia family.

Maybe in the future, I will have to make a lot of friends with the Xia family.

If the affairs of the Demon Gate do not go well, I am afraid that there will be people who trouble the Xia family, but how much of these people's news can be useful, Liu Yuan needs to distinguish by himself.

Shaking the small bottle in his hand, he couldn't hear any sound in the bottle, Liu Yuan raised his hand and shouted: "Xiao Er, another pot of spirits." ”

"Well, a jug of spirits. ”

Even in such a noisy environment, you can clearly hear Xiao Er's shouting, obviously having practiced for a while.

At first, Liu Yuan was the man who didn't like to drink the most, and his father let him taste it intentionally or unintentionally when he was a child, but he wasn't interested at all.

Later, I still met the eight fruit wine given by the pendant, which is a really good thing, it tastes refreshing when it doesn't taste good, with a little innocent fruity fragrance, and in a trance you can even ignore that this is drinking.

But it is precisely for this reason that there is no feeling of drinking at all, and the most important thing is that this thing is still rare, and it has great benefits for the improvement of internal force, isn't it a waste for him to drink.

After all, I never touched it again.

In addition to giving a little to others, when the world is peaceful in the future, it can be sold at a high price, and it can make a lot of money not to mention the reputation of its own inn.

After that, when you really drank wine, it was the Lantern Festival in Dade County that year, and Liu Yuan first met Liu Mang in the city.

Because of Liu Mang, he likes to drink with the jar very much, and he was taken by the latter, and Liu Yuan also accompanied him to drink a little.

At first, I didn't like it very much, until later on the way back, he bought half of the fat and oily roast goose.

Gradually, after drinking it a few times, I got a little bit of an idea of what it tasted like.

But when he doesn't want to, Liu Yuan doesn't go to drink, and now that he thinks about his heart, he drinks a little.

Drinking and drinking, he also remembered Brother Liu Mang.

"I don't know where we are going, where we are going. Liu Yuan shook his head and sighed, at this time, the little second also brought wine, which was taken by Liu Yuan and poured a glass in his cup.

Picking up the wine glass in his hand and just about to drink it, the rim of the glass stopped at his lips, and a gray robe appeared in front of him.

I heard a man's voice ringing out and saying: "Under the long wind and sunset, a shadow is single." Why, one of the shopkeepers is drunk?"

The moment he saw the person in front of him, Liu Yuan was stunned, his eyes subconsciously widened, he drank all the wine in the cup, slowly put it on the table, spread out his palms with both hands, stroked the table, and the emotions in his heart gradually calmed down.

"Why, don't you let an old friend sit?" the man asked again, a smile on his face.

This encounter in the corner, in the noisy environment of the restaurant, was nothing at all, and it did not attract the attention of those who talked about it at all.

In the whole inn, it seems to be a small world, and starting from the foot of the window, a line is drawn, dividing it into two worlds.

All the noise outside has not affected this place.

After the other party said it again, he quietly looked at Liu Yuan's eyes, as if he was embarrassed to sit down if the other party didn't say a word.

And he was very satisfied that his appearance could cause such surprise to him.

It seemed that every time he appeared in front of the shopkeeper Liu, it was unexpected, and thinking about it, he laughed again.

"Sit. Liu Yuan burst out of his throat with a word, and then stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of please.

The latter laughed twice, then pulled out the bench and sat down. Rubbing his hands, he raised his hand to order something to eat again, saying that he was really hungry after so long, but as soon as he raised his hand, he was stopped by Liu Yuan.

said: "If you have something to say, just eat these, don't fix so much that you don't have." ”

"Stingy, Liu Da's shopkeeper hasn't changed at all. The man laughed, no longer insisted, and without his chopsticks, he took a piece of purple-red braised beef between his fingers and threw it into his mouth.

After smashing it, smashing it, and eating it, he looked at Liu Yuan and said, "Well, this taste is far worse than your braised pork, and I still miss the food of the world's No. 1 inn." ”

"Liu Da shopkeeper doesn't know yet, the world's No. 1 inn you opened in the main city of Ganji Road, not to mention the background of the Li family behind it, the craftsmanship is also a must, the business can be regarded as the best, I don't patronize it less. ”

"However, this craft always feels a little less interesting than that of Qingchuan County. ”

It's almost a yes, before he Liu Yuan left Ganji Dao, he didn't teach the secret recipes and methods of a few dishes.

Obviously, that's not the point, though!

He was curious about why the other party appeared in Hongguang City, and why he knew that he was in this restaurant, Liu Yuan thought so in his heart, and said in an aggravated tone: "Okay, eat and eat, let's get down to business, Mr. Zhao." ”

Yes, the person in front of him is tall and long-legged, dressed in a robe, with some elegant temperament, it is Mr. Zhao Changjing Zhao who loves to chant two crooked poems when he opens his mouth.

The first time the two met was at the inn, the other party took the initiative to stay, and then on the Rouge River, the other party turned into a rich man, and then had a close relationship with the third prince.

After that, it was on the site of Jianque Villa, Zhao Changjing secretly got the stones left in Jianque Villa, but was discovered by the young master of the villa, and he was almost beaten half to death.

Later, it's now, anyway, this Zhao Changjing is like a ghost, every time he appears, it is beyond Liu Yuan's expectations, and it can even be described as thrilling.

However, since the other party appeared in this Hongguang City, Liu Yuan, who is calm now, can only think of something to do with the three princes behind him, so he can't come to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

"Serious business?" The surnamed Zhao was surprised, shook his head and said: "What's the matter, didn't I just pass by the door of the restaurant and see the old man from the window, and at the same time come to reminisce about the old days, and beg for a glass of water and wine to eat by the way." ”

After speaking, he took the wine jug in Liu Yuan's hand, hugged it and drank it, regardless of whether the cup was a cup or not.

Speaking of which, he was really a little hungry, and after spending half a day in the mansion of the head of the Naxia family, the latter patronized and poured tea for him, drank a stomach of water, and spent his brain thinking about things, and he was already hungry.

The old boy was also not sensible, so he didn't say that he would leave Mr. Zhao for dinner, how could he say that when he left, he also gave him a poem.

It didn't take long for the plate of braised beef in front of me to see the bottom, and he said that it didn't taste good, but he didn't stop.

"Okay, okay, it's all for you. Liu Yuan waved his hand, his face showed disgust, and after the person had almost eaten, Liu Yuan didn't say a word, just stood up on the table, and said, "Okay, you eat and eat, drink and drink, I'll leave if it's okay, you play slowly." ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked in the direction of the door, to be honest, he Liu Yuanzhen was not curious about what this surnamed Zhao was here for.

Whether he came by himself, or what actions did the three princes and the Xia family behind him, he didn't want to know at all, let alone get involved, so he walked neatly.

Well, then again, what if......

"Don't don't, I'm afraid of your shopkeeper Liu, let's meet old friends and talk again." Zhao Changjing was a little anxious, and at the same time stood up, grabbed Liu Yuan's arm, and pulled it back.

"Long story short. Liu Yuan said coldly.

"With our foundation, the third prince intends to cooperate with you. "Zhao Changjing's opening is big news.

The matter of cooperation, the third prince did say before, mainly because he fell in love with Liu Yuan's No. 1 inn in the world, but it was still an accident to meet Liu Yuan in Hongguang City.

But it was because of this accident that Zhao Changjing had a new idea.

As a qualified right-hand man, he can naturally adapt to the situation, since the third prince had revealed some ideas earlier, then now that there is such an opportunity, it is indeed time to implement it.

Otherwise, he Zhao Changjing didn't have eaten beef, so he couldn't afford to delay his efforts and leave long ago.

"Not interested. Liu Yuan didn't think about it at all, and shook his head categorically and refused.

"Then let's talk about it. Since he could sit down and talk, Zhao Changjing was not in a hurry, and then said: "Dan Tang came with me, it seems that it is gone." ”

"Don't rush to deny it. Zhao Changjing said and said, "I think it has something to do with the Demon Gate." ”

After saying these two sentences, Liu Yuan's eyes lit up, leaned forward a little, and said, "What do you say?"

......

In Xia Lingling's courtyard, Xia Xiang, who had just finished using a set of hell sealing knife techniques, saw that his master's family had returned, and immediately put away his knife and stood up.

I was just about to say something in my heart, but when I heard Xia Lingling's sentence that she saw the people of Little Lotus Mountain, she forgot everything for a while.

I completely forgot what I was going to say, and it just turned into a sentence: "Where is that person?"

God knows how much Xia Xiang's heart is looking forward to meeting the people of the master these days.

Looking at the original seven gangs and sixteen factions, one by one like mushrooms after a rain, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, looking forward to the day when Little Lotus Mountain can reopen the mountain gate.

But as the days passed, the hope became more and more faint, and there was no sign at all.

It wasn't until the reincarnation of the old host of Buddhism that the news of the re-establishment of Buddhism spread, and his heart sank to the bottom.

However, the little hope that had been given up was rekindled with Xia Lingling's words.

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly. Immediately after Xia Lingling, she told Xia Xiang about the events of the past few days.

And the reason why she came here in the first place was to find out the true identity of that person from Xia Xiang's mouth, so as to indirectly help her understand the power structure of the Pingding King.

That person has such martial arts, and he survived the great purge, so he will definitely not be a nobody in the mountain gate.

"The person the young lady is talking about, I probably know who it is. ”
