A group of diners in the Tingfeng Inn chatted about the major affairs of the rivers and lakes without a match, and there were also active people in the crowd from time to time who interjected at key points, Xiao Feng and the others quickly understood what the current situation in Zhenjiang County was.

In one word, it's messy, and in a word, it's messy.

And the root of all this is that half a month ago, the Mu Xue faction announced to the outside world that it wanted to collect disciples in Zhenjiang County.

Although the Muxue faction is not well known to the people in the rivers and lakes, it still attracts many people who have no way to enter the rivers and lakes to take refuge with its rich profits, and of course there are a few people who have entered the river, which is why so many people from the rivers and lakes gather in Zhenjiang today.

As for why the major forces in the rivers and lakes also gathered in Zhenjiang.

Several first-rate forces, such as the Beggar Gang, are bold and have the intention of tempting Mu Xue's faction; the second-rate forces have taken a wait-and-see attitude to see if they can find an opportunity to get a piece of the pie; and the third-rate forces are more realistic, planning to see if they can come to the snow to send charcoal or mutual benefit.

After thinking everything through, everyone shook their heads speechlessly. In the minds of many people, this is a group of idle and bored guys playing here.

At this moment, Xiao Feng suddenly frowned, whispered something to everyone, and then got up and walked towards the staircase.

Yu Yi and the others were slightly stunned, and they didn't have the heart to continue listening to the wind, so they also got up and followed.

The old shopkeeper who had been bored in front of the counter inadvertently looked up at the group of people who were heading towards the staircase, slightly stunned, and then shook his head with a smile.

As soon as Xiao Feng and the others left the first floor, they saw five people in Tsing Yi with extraordinary bearing walking outside the Zi Listening Wind Inn: two indifferent middle-aged people, two seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys with slumped heads, and a cold girl about ten years old. If Xiao Feng and the others were here, they would definitely sigh 'What a coincidence!', because these two middle-aged men and two teenagers were acquaintances.

The atmosphere in the inn stagnated slightly, and then there was a loud uproar.

The Tsinghua faction is actually a member of the Tsinghua faction. Isn't the Listening Wind Inn never received people from the big factions, what are they doing here?

As expected, the next moment, the old shopkeeper in the direction of the counter blocked a few people with a smile, "I don't know why a few heroes came to the shop? ”

The first middle-aged man frowned, "Find someone." ”

When the old shopkeeper heard this, the smile on his face became more and more intense, and he said very politely: "Inquire about the matter, ten taels of silver." ”

Everyone who listened with their ears pricked up was stunned when they heard this, and then there was another uproar, this old shopkeeper is too tricky, and it is clear that he wants to hack the money of this gang.

The five men in Tsing Yi all frowned.

However, after only a little hesitation, he saw that the middle-aged man led by him took out a silver ingot from his bosom and threw it to the old shopkeeper, and said bluntly: "May I ask the seniors, is there a young man in white in his early ten years old and a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old today, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl and a cold middle-aged man staying here today?"

The old shopkeeper was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "Little boy, hehe, there are so many guests coming and going in the inn, the little old man can't remember." As he spoke, he made a gesture that he wanted to return the silver.

At this moment, another middle-aged man who stood silently suddenly stepped forward and pressed the old shopkeeper's hand, "Senior, the money has been accepted, but there is no reason to regret it." ”

The old shopkeeper's smile remained unchanged, and he raised his other hand and nodded, "In this river and lake, there are a lot of people who can't afford to offend the little old man." ”

The faces of the two middle-aged men changed slightly.

The old shopkeeper glanced at the two of them, then stroked his beard and smiled: "However, the little old man can help you ask first." How?"

The two middle-aged men glanced at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, "Then thank you seniors." ”

The old shopkeeper smiled, took out two small pieces of silver from his arms and rubbed them in his hands, "No thanks, no thanks, as long as you are sincere." ”

It is said that the rivers and lakes are 'singing with a three-foot Qingfeng, wearing a moonlight and sword in the world', and they are very free, in fact...... It's also quite comfortable.

However, there is a good saying that a penny is hard to beat a hero, and I dare to ask how many seniors in this country did not suffer more or less in this regard when they were young. Therefore, after retiring to the rivers and lakes, compared to 'picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan', many old-timers are actually more willing to take a leisurely look at the rivers and lakes and be an old money fan who is 'hidden in the city'.

This is the case with the old shopkeeper of the Listening Wind Inn.

Of course, after living in the rivers and lakes for a long time, these old people naturally have more experience, such as which forces don't need to give face, which forces can form a good relationship, which people can tease themselves and have some fun, which people are better not to provoke, deal with it carefully, and their hearts are like mirrors. This is also one of the reasons why the younger generations of the rivers and lakes respect their predecessors. After all, there is an old saying that if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you.

On the second floor, Xiao Feng and the others found a private room at random, asked for some food, and began to close their eyes and recuperate.

Xiao Feng was digesting the information he had obtained on the first floor. Although there is nothing for a child to pay attention to, it would be a bit too much if the house burned down.

Everyone else was thinking about Xiao Feng's sentence, "A few uninvited guests came, go to the second floor to hide." "What do you mean. Uninvited guests? What uninvited guests?

I don't know how long it took, but I heard a soft knock on the door outside the private room, which seemed to be very polite.

Yu Yi, Yun Luohan and the others were slightly stunned, but the inn junior didn't have this kind of cultivation.

Xiao Feng sighed softly.

Xiao Tianyue and Luo Tianyi didn't think much about it, they just thought that the meal had arrived, and they walked two steps quickly to open the door of the private room.

It's a pity that it was a long-bearded old man with half-white hair, and the two girls were slightly stunned, feeling a little familiar.

Xiao Tianyue asked politely, "Is there anything wrong with the old gentleman?"

The old man stroked his beard and said politely: "The little old man's surname is Ling, and he is the shopkeeper of the Tingfeng Inn, and he has long admired the name of the Mingyue Envoy, and he has come to pay a visit." When I saw it today, it was really a dragon and phoenix among people, a young man, and disrespectful. ”

Xiao Tianyue frowned lightly when she heard this.

can become one of the six ethereal envoys and make a great name in the rivers and lakes, Xiao Tianyue is naturally not a stupid person, and he will not get carried away because of the old man's praise or two. After all, it's not a compliment from his own son-in-law, who knows if it's really polite. But if you are recognized by a young talent, it is not surprising, the people I have dealt with in the past few years are all young people, and it is normal to be recognized. But now that she was recognized at a glance by a seemingly ordinary innkeeper, it made her a little wary.

But even though she was thinking like this, her face was full of smiles in an instant, and she said politely: "I don't deserve the praise of my seniors, but since I am a visitor, please come inside." ”
