14. Absurd
The shopkeeper led the two of them around, and the restaurant was extremely spacious, pushing open the creaky door, the shopkeeper said carefully.
"Two guest officers, I don't know where they went. ”
"I invite friends, naturally I have to choose the best ones!" Liu Xingrong's face was straight, he replied loudly, and took out a small piece of broken silver from his arms: "Little brother, take it!"
"Guest, how is this good..."
The shopkeeper pretended to excuse himself, and happily accepted the broken silver, his attitude became more and more kind, and his eyebrows were low.
"Two guest officers, please come here. ”
Before, it was just outside, so that people couldn't see it really, but now when I walked into it and lifted the veil of mystery, I was shocked to realize that there was not only a hole in this building. Tao Hui looked at the restaurant in front of her, with floors stacked on top of each other, carved beams and embroidered columns, and heavy buildings flying pavilions, she pointed to the middle slightly higher than the other buildings and exclaimed.
"This building is built so high!"
"Xiaoyou, this 'Yuelai' restaurant is second to none in Qingzhou. Liu Xingrong smiled slightly when he heard this. "This building is the tallest in Qingzhou Restaurant. You can climb high to enjoy the scenery, there are window porches on both sides, on one side is the lively and noisy Qingzhou Market, and on the other hand, you can enjoy the mountains and rivers of Qingzhou East Lake. Exactly, the scenery is different, beautiful, and the world is wonderful. ”
"This guest officer is a knowledgeable person at first glance. This Qingzhou restaurant is all looking forward to my 'Yuelai' restaurant. Not to mention in Qingzhou, it is the nearby Yanzhou, Shuzhou, my 'Yuelai' restaurant, which is also famous!"
The shopkeeper was quite impressive, echoed his words, and pointed to the side: "Two guest officers, please go up from here." ”
The group climbed a suspended escalator and climbed for a long time, and finally reached the top.
In front of the eye is a row of separate private rooms, and the shopkeeper leads the two into one of them.
"Two guest officers, please come inside!"
The peach coat emblem heard the words and looked, it was a red vermilion lacquer door, the top of the wooden door of the carved beam embroidered household hung a black gold silk nanmu plaque, on which the dragon flew and the phoenix danced with three big characters 'Feng Ya Stream', the shopkeeper pushed the door open, respectfully made a gesture of please.
Tao Hui looked in curiously, this is a very chic private room, the ground is covered with a delicate red carpet, behind is a person-high screen, depicting mountains, rivers and lakes.
Through the screen, you can faintly see the golden silk nanmu round table behind it, on which are placed tea bowls of fruits and vegetables, and eight large backrest chairs are placed in an orderly manner around the table. There is a desk by the window on one side, and there are four treasures of the study, paper, ink, pen and inkstone in turn. As if for convenience, the guests were drunk and interested, and left poems and songs.
"You two may be seated!"
The two of them sat down, and the shopkeeper pointed to a small door in the room.
"Guest officer, you can clean your hands and face in this room. ”
"Okay,"
"Little brother, go down, I'll call you again if there's something. ”
"Guest officer, how is the dish served?"
"Serve all the signature dishes of that restaurant!"
"Howler!"
The shopkeeper was understanding, exited and gently closed the door, shouting outside.
"Guest officer, call me again if you have something. There was a hurried sound, and it seemed that the shopkeeper ran down to tell the back cook to prepare the meal.
Both of them began to wash, slept outside in the open air, and rushed for a long time exhausted, both of them were a little tired. At this time, after a wash, I suddenly felt refreshed.
Liu Xingrong picked up a few fruits on the table.
"Little friend, taste?"
"Oh, thank you! I was a little hungry. ”
The hand handing over the fruit suddenly fell in mid-air, and Liu Xingrong's face was a little dazed.
"Old man?"
"I didn't expect Xiaoyou to be so handsome, like the fairy in the painting. ”
"Ah?!" Peach Coat's face was a little stiff, "It's just a little thin and delicate." ”
Liu Xingrong said with a smile: "Little friend, be modest. ”
The two joked, and the store prepared the meal. He put the dishes on the table, and saw that the table was full after a while.
The shopkeeper brought another pot of boiling water and brewed a good 'mountain tip' in the tea bowl on the table.
"Two guest officers, use it slowly!"
Liu Xingrong smiled slightly.
"Little friend, try this, this is a famous dish in Shu, fish and shredded pork, the end is tender and crispy, and the aftertaste is endless. ”
"Delicious!"
"Xiaoyou, this second dish is the famous dish of Qingzhou 'East Lake Vinegar Fish', the fish is fresh and vinegary, steamed and slowly simmered, fragrant..."
The two of them were trapped in the black prison for a few days, and when they saw the delicacies on the table, they were all feasting and devouring. Like a storm and a cloud.
"Old man, this fish is good!"
"It's really good!
After a while, the two were full of wine and food, and the dinner table was a mess. Liu Xingrong put the tea bowl on the table, stood up, and pushed open the window porch on the west side.
"Little friend, please look!"
"Good!"
The peach coat emblem got up and stood by the window, overlooking the East Lake of Qingzhou in a misty and misty atmosphere.
The peach coat emblem lit up.
"It's beautiful!"
"If it weren't for this, how would this 'Yuelai' be the top spot in Qingzhou Restaurant!"
At this moment, there was a commotion. It seems that someone is arguing angrily.
Peach Hui was stunned for a moment, ran to the table again, and pushed open the window porch on the east side.
Under the restaurant, on a long street, several fierce soldiers surrounded a young man in a white shirt and argued about something.
The person who was stopped had sword eyebrows and sideburns, a pair of phoenix eyes, and an angular face, as handsome as a knife, just with some bookish anger. The scholar was dressed in a white shirt and carried a small basket with some worn-out books inside.
Those soldiers were wearing green shirts, with armor attached to them, and the word 'patrol' hung on their backs.
Several soldiers with fierce faces pulled the scholar tightly.
A bearded military commander flipped through a stack of white papers in his hand, which had long been yellowed and broken, and he pulled out one and carefully looked at the scholar in front of him.
"You are the ghost knife Li Yong!"
"Master Jun, Xiaosheng is not the ghost knife Li Yong. ”
The powerless scholar struggled for a while, but he still couldn't break free, and suddenly shouted in his mouth:
"Master Jun, Xiaosheng only reads the books of sages and sages, and his ears don't hear anything outside the window. How is it the thief ghost knife who has lost his conscience and is full of evil, the thief is full of beard and one eye, and his appearance is very different from Xiaosheng, why should the military master bully others?"
The bearded commander chuckled.
"I think you're afraid of being recognized, so you shave your beard and hide your eyes. ”
"I am the Patrol Chief of Qingzhou, I said that you are the ghost knife Li Yong, you are the ghost knife Li Yong!"
"Xiao Sheng is not the thief ghost knife! The thief is so brave and ruthless, he was cut off one eye by the hero, but he is a one-eyed. Parents who suffer from the body, how can Xiaosheng insult the family style!"
The scholar straightened his waist, and his air was magnificent, neither arrogant nor humble.
"It's so nonsense, right and wrong are unknown! It's ridiculous, Xiaosheng is going to sue Qingzhou County. ”
The bearded commander smiled slightly.
"Boy, you're pretty tough. But in the Qingzhou prison, there is no shortage of people with backbone like you. After entering, not to mention being blind in one eye, even if you have a broken hand or a leg, it is just an ordinary thing. ”
"You, you?!"
"Come on, tie me up! Go to the government office to get the reward for the ghost knife. ”
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Stop!"
The bearded military commander was stunned for a moment, and ordinary people couldn't avoid them when they saw these soldiers licking blood from the knife edge. Someone actually made that bird, and his face was cold.
"Who are you? ”
"Below, Liu Xingrong. ”
"Peach coat emblem!"
Liu Xingrong was a little helpless, these sergeants were all patrolling Qingzhou County, and they were usually invincible, flying and domineering, and they were chasing after him, but they didn't catch up with the young man's footsteps.
"Master Jun, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding? You two blocked military affairs on the street, and you should be beheaded according to orders. ”
The bearded military commander sneered and pulled out the knife from his arms, but when he saw the young man with clear eyebrows on the side, he blurted out in a daze.
"It's a pity that this boy is so handsome, it's a pity to die. ”
Liu Xingrong's heart has already risen to his throat.
"Master Jun, Liu Xingrong of the old Qingzhou, there is still a little bit of thin noodles in the county guard, please make it convenient for the master of the county!"
The bearded commander seemed to be taken aback when he heard this, and Huo Ran turned his head to look at the old man in front of him.
"What are you talking about, you are Qingzhou Liu Xingrong?"
"Exactly!"
Liu Xingrong bowed, the bearded military commander's eyes were hesitant, his face was cloudy, and he waved his big hand.
"Scatter!"
"Thank you, Master Jun, for rewarding me with a few thin noodles. ”
The soldier walked away in a moment, and the scholar was overjoyed, and he wiped his mouth and saluted the two of them in a proper manner.
"Thanks to the two of you today, otherwise Wang Jinsheng would have to go to the Qingzhou prison!"
"Ququ trivial things, why worry about it!"
Tao Hui also returned the salute in a pretentious manner, and was about to continue to speak, when Liu Xingrong pulled his clothes.
"Little friend, this place should not stay for a long time!"
"Where are you going?"
"Let's go back and pack up some gold and silver, and go elsewhere to avoid the limelight. ”
The two didn't go back to the restaurant, but walked straight into a narrow alley, and they could vaguely see the scholars in the distance behind them, still unable to bow down and bow their heads.
In an alley on the opposite side, several soldiers walked side by side, and one soldier suddenly spoke.
"Xu Tou, the arrest warrant that the Black Prison Division just issued today pursued that Liu Xingrong, and the reward was a lot, why didn't we take that old thing back and receive the reward?"
The bearded commander suddenly laughed and said, "Do you know who they want?"
"Black Prison Division!"
The bearded commander shook his head.
"Who are the Black Prison Division's wants?"
The sergeant suddenly realized, and his face was full of surprise.
"Head, you're so shrewd!"
"Hmph, that guy wanted by the Black Prison Division, can there be a good kind? With a few of us, how can we take down the guy wanted by the Black Prison Division?"
