Chapter Eighty-Three: A Lonely White Horse
A long, exhausting and tiring day had finally passed, and Hakubashi woke up to the third day of the day.
I stretched my waist a lot, and I only felt that my whole body was as sore as if it had fallen apart. After a very rough wash, I went out to look for food.
Outside the door, the doors of Nangong Yu and the three of them were closed, and Bai Maxiao knocked on them one by one, but no one answered, and it seemed that they were not in the room.
Why don't you call me when they all go to the hall to eat?
Looking down at my watch, I found that it was already eleven o'clock at noon, and this sleep was really a holiday style.
After yawning again, he heard a muffled sound in his stomach and turned to go downstairs.
As soon as I came to the staircase, I saw that the whole hall was empty, only a guy was there to wipe the table, and there was still a shopkeeper standing behind the counter at the gate, but there was no trace of a guest.
Thinking back to yesterday, it was full of people, especially now that it's a meal, this scene can be regarded as weird.
Hakumashi even suspected that he was still in a dream.
Downstairs, the shopkeeper greeted him warmly, and before he could speak, Bai Ma Xiao asked first, "Shopkeeper, where are the people of our Sword Sect?"
"They left early in the morning, and before leaving, let's entertain Uncle Mu. As he spoke, the shopkeeper asked with a smile on his face, "What does Uncle Mu want to eat?"
Such an attitude made Bai Maxiao very unaccustomed, perhaps because of the magical effect of the ingot of gold given by Wang Hai last night, he hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't call it uncle." You can make me a bowl of beef noodles first, I'm dying of hunger. ”
"Okay uncle! you sit down first! The little one will go down and prepare!"
This middle-aged man, who looks much older than himself, is an uncle to himself, which may never happen in modern times. Bai Maxiao only felt that every "uncle" he said was like a heavy and tall hat buckled on his head, overwhelmed.
Seeing that he was walking away, the white horse let out a long breath, and as soon as he turned around, he saw that there was still a person sitting in the corner.
Obviously, what I saw at the staircase was empty just now, but when I turned around, there was one more person, which was really shocking.
But if you look closely, the position of this person is just below the stairs, and you can't see it from the staircase.
If you look closely, you will find that this is not the Jinyi Wei General Banner named Shen Jun last night!
Speaking of which, he is with Wang Hai, so he is also here to protect Nangong Yu, so he is his own person.
Bai Maxiao immediately walked cheekily in front of him, sat down on the opposite side, and said very contrivedly, "Hello, Mr. Shen." ”
Shen Jun's face was still indifferent, but in the face of such a "warm" greeting, he couldn't ignore it, so he reluctantly gave it up, and didn't say a word, which seemed very perfunctory.
This man doesn't seem to be that easy to get close to. This is Hakumashio's first impression of him. He relieved his embarrassment by picking up the two chopsticks in the chopsticks, playing with them in his hand, and asked tentatively, "Do you know where my master and they have gone?"
"At the invitation of His Majesty and Niangniang, we will travel to Guangzhou together. ”
"They're out playing?!" Hakumashi said in surprise, "You didn't take me?"
"You slept too hard, in order not to sweep His Majesty Yaxing, so you didn't wait any longer. ”
Bai Maxiao was extremely depressed, he didn't expect to be so desperate last night, and he met Hanako to help that group of people to do something, and he did two batches, and he was physically and mentally exhausted at night, and he was dragged up by those two goods to eavesdrop.
Even if Nangong Yu and that hot potato are unwilling to wait, those two goods can't be so unrighteous!
Bai Maxiao secretly scolded them in his heart for being unrighteous, and the two chopsticks slammed the tabletop, venting his dissatisfaction.
After a while, he found that Shen Jun was staring at the chopsticks in his hand with a look of disgust, looking at the expression, as if if he made a sound like this again, Shen Jun would snatch the chopsticks and insert them into his eyes.
Bai Maxiao quickly put down his chopsticks and asked, "What about you, why are you still here?"
"The county lord asked me to stay here and watch you, so that you don't have any more trouble. ”
It's just to find someone to stare at me, but what does this "again" mean? When did I have a special branch yesterday?
Bai Maxiao suddenly remembered that if he hadn't saved that Yungui yesterday, so many things would not have happened later, and it was really better to have more than one thing in these years.
No wonder there are so many people who don't want to save themselves, because no one can predict how much trouble it will bring after meddling.
However, Hakuma Shino asked himself that even if it was time to return to the ring of the qualifiers, he would still do it, after all, it was a life.
In fact, now that I think about it, Yun Gui will be injured, and it seems that he also has to take some responsibility, right?
Bai Maxiao couldn't help but pout, and said in his heart that looking at him like this, it was impossible to tell him not to follow him, after all, this was an order from the county lord, and he didn't have the authority to lift this order.
After a while, a bowl of steaming beef noodles was served, and Bai Maxiao rubbed his rumbling belly, and quickly grabbed his chopsticks and took a bite.
The smooth noodles rushed into his mouth with an unpalatable noodle soup, and he choked on only one bite.
Seeing that he kept coughing, the shopkeeper smiled, "Uncle eat slowly, it's not enough!"
"Enough, enough!" Bai Maxiao hurriedly stopped, looking at the bowl of beef noodles in front of him that seemed harmless to humans and animals, and recalled the taste that he had just taken for a lifetime.
It's sour and salty, and the salty throat is as if you've knocked over soy sauce and vinegar, and it's extremely unpalatable!
"Shopkeeper, your family's noodles...... It's really distinctive. ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Really? ”
This is obviously a humble tone, but Bai Maxiao feels that his "ordinary" is really arrogant boasting, which can be called a wonderful flower in the human culinary world, a bowl of noodles that breaks through the bottom line of Chinese cuisine for 5,000 years.
"Shopkeeper, have you tasted it?"
"No, how dare you, this is a special trip for the uncle to eat......"
"You take a bite. ”
"Don't, don't, don't, uncle, you're a little ......"
"Uncle Ben orders you, taste it. ”
Seeing him like this, the shopkeeper was really "gracious", picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, and vomited on the spot for more than a minute.
finally relieved himself, and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, uncle...... Our chef recently took leave to return to his hometown, and the newly recruited cook ran away overnight last night, and we really couldn't find anyone, so I had to cook the ...... myself."
Bai Ma Xiao smiled bitterly, after the two loud door-to-door troubles last night, normal people who were less timid had to flee overnight, and they couldn't blame the new chef for not having professional ethics.
"Forget it, I'll go out to eat, and you don't have to be busy. ”
The shopkeeper bowed again and again to apologize, and Bai Maxiao couldn't make him stop even after saying a few times, so he had to ignore him and say to Shen Jun, "Have you eaten?"
"Eat. ”
Bai Maxiao was stunned for a moment, "Where did you eat? Haven't you been staring at me here?"
"Right here. ”
Bai Maxiao gasped, lowered his voice and whispered, "This...... You ...... too. Eat?"
"It's just a stomach. ”
It's really a free and easy person who has no desires and no desires. Bai Maxiao shook his head helplessly, "I'm going out to eat, are you coming?"
"You go first, and I'll follow. ”
Bai Maxiao only thinks that this guy can pretend to be cooler than Lao Nie, compared to the amiable police uncle in modern times, this guy is really far behind.
Bai Maxiao didn't pay attention to him anymore, and turned around and walked out of the small hotel.
The streets of Guangzhou City are still very lively, especially the recent opening of the Martial Arts Conference, but it seems that there are many fewer people in some of the gangs walking the streets than yesterday.
It's no wonder that there were hundreds of gangs participating in the meeting yesterday, and only thirty-two were left in one afternoon, and it is estimated that most of those who were eliminated have returned to their respective homes.
In addition to those who got the number plates, there are still ...... left
Fierce clashes suddenly came from the streets not far away, and the people fled, but most of them couldn't run a few steps before they found a relatively safe place to watch.
Bai Maxiao walked through the crowd, but saw the two teams of gangs fighting in the street, long knives and sledgehammers wielding weapons wantonly, blood flowing all over the ground, the sound of fighting, screams, and the surrounding discussions were endless, and the tragic appearance was like the ring of yesterday's qualifiers.
The qualifiers didn't end until before the auditions began.
And so it was.
Even if you stand out from more than 100 people in the ring and become one of the remaining 23 people, it doesn't mean that you can participate in the audition alive.
The competition was so cruel, but all of this was planned by the Snake God Sect.
Could this tragic situation in front of him be what the Divine Cult wants to see?
Bai Maxiao shook his head, he had already experienced such a scene once yesterday, and he couldn't bear to look at it anymore at this time, so he turned his head and left the crowd.
Walking down the street, Bai Maxiao was a little sullen, remembering that his number plate had been given away by his wife's kindness, and he had to take another one back in the next three days. But seeing the bloody and chaotic scene just now, does he want to rob it in this way?
I asked myself that he was not losing to those rabble, but after all, he grew up in a society governed by the rule of law, and that kind of thing was never acceptable.
I don't know how long I walked, Bai Maxiao didn't know where he was, and when he reacted again, he saw a majestic and luxurious inn next to him, with a luxurious gold plaque hanging on the door, and the three big characters of "Wild Goose Returning Building" were written on the dragon flying and phoenix dancing.
Although he has never heard of this Yanguilou, he has never heard of this Yanguilou, but looking at the luxury of this decoration and the endless flow of customers, he knows that it is a quite high-end inn.
He reached into his arms, touched the thin money bag, and sighed.
I used to play poker with Nie Jianfeng and Jianyin, and there were only a few hundred Wen left that were squeezed, and I was not qualified to go to this kind of place to consume.
He was about to leave in a melancholy manner, but he heard someone shouting at the door, "Guest officer!"
Bai Ma Xiao ignored it, he still knew how many catties and taels he had, and he didn't look like a rich man, how could the guy in this place not be so eyeless and pull the solicitor to his head.
But then I felt someone tap me on the shoulder.
Bai Ma Xiao turned his head, but saw a well-dressed shopkeeper smiling at him, "Guest officer, but the senior disciple of Nangong Sword Sect, we have been looking forward to you for a long time, please come in!"
