The man in black said with a smile: "Two little friends, are you still satisfied?" This is the old man, my love, if it weren't for the fate of the two little friends, I couldn't give it to you if I was killed." As he spoke, he bent his index finger and tapped on the edge of the table, and the chess piece at the other end jumped along, sometimes high and sometimes low, heavy or light, in a rhythm.

The Eight Immortals table was nearly four feet long and wide, and it was not easy to penetrate the strength, and it was even more difficult to shake the chess pieces up, and the difficulty was one level greater than just now.

The young man knew that the man in black intended to continue to deter, and such an act of buying and selling was simply a roadblock robbery, but the people's tricks were on the table, and they looked like they were not convinced to fight. He was born in a famous family, and he is usually arrogant, but when he meets these two old ghosts, he is suffocated, and his face is flushed.

The woman was afraid that he would act rashly, so she hurriedly picked up the chess piece and asked, "I don't know how much this treasure is worth from my predecessors?"

The man in black said: "These two little friends are also understanding people, so they look at it, right?" Suddenly his ears itched, and the man in black withdrew his index finger and took it out.

The woman knowingly said: "My senior brother and sister have been out for a long time, and they don't have much room on them, if the seniors agree, they will sell it to the little girl for one hundred taels?"

The man in black didn't know how much to report, and it was not his intention to say that there was less than enough money to pay for the breakfast, and that there was too much lion to open his mouth. Since the other party will be wrong, and the value is far beyond expectations, he said repeatedly: "Since Xiaoyou is so sincere, the old man will reluctantly cut his love." ”

Immediately the woman took out of her bosom two minas of silver, and laid them on the table, a hundred pieces of silver. She put away the chess piece and said, "If the two seniors are okay, my senior brother and sister won't bother you." ”

The man in black gained a lot from this transaction, and he was in a good mood, waving his hand and saying, "Good go, good go." The woman bowed, stopped talking, and pulled his brother away.

The more the young man thought about it, the more annoyed he became, he couldn't bear it, and took out an embroidery needle about three inches long from his arms, and said, "Come and don't be rude, Xing also has a treasure, give it to the three of them for free." He threw the needle into the shop with his backhand, and without looking back, jumped on his mount with the woman and rode away.

The embroidered hair needle shot at the man in black, although the speed was fast, but if it could escape his eyes, he laughed, and opened his fingers to clamp it, about to say: "How can this needle be enough for three people?"

The embroidery needle trembled in the air, and suddenly split into three, and the other two were like eyes, shooting at the man in white and Qi Tian respectively.

The man in white waved his hand and hit the needle to the ground. The needle was unexpected, the speed was fast, Qi Tian's skill was temporarily lost, how to dodge? "Poof", the needle shot into his shoulder more than two inches, straight into the bone, only the pain crooked teeth, straight into the cold sweat.

The man in black grabbed the remaining embroidery needle, and was furious, and by the time he ran out of the shop, the two of them had already gone far on horseback. The man in black turned back to the store gloomily, threw the needle on the ground, and said to Qi Tian stupidly: "The two rabbit cubs in the Flying Star Mountain Villa are quite fast, and they can only meet in the future, and then help the good brother out of this breath." ”

The man in white approached to help Qi Tian pull out the needle, the needle body was bright, and he saw that the tip of the needle was stained with a trace of bright red blood, and said, "Good brother, don't worry, this secret weapon is not poisonous." ”

Qi Tian stretched out his hand and pressed the needle and said, "Those two are from 'Flying Star Villa'?" He immediately thought that he and this black and white brother were together, and those two people suffered losses one after another, and when they met in the future, they were afraid that they would not be able to settle the account on their heads. He remembered what his master said, if there are many rights and wrongs in the rivers and lakes, he obviously didn't provoke others, but he was inexplicably implicated.

The man in white held the needle and said: "Although this needle is ordinary, the technique of 'dividing into two' is the secret of 'Flying Star Villa'. It is rumored that if you practice to the extreme, you can divide it into nine, even if my brother encounters it, I am afraid it will be difficult to bargain. ”

Qi Tian sighed: "There is such a powerful secret weapon technique in the world, but it is unheard of. ”

The man in white comforted him and said, "Since it is a secret that is not passed on, it is naturally rarely seen, and the few who have seen it rarely survive." Looking at the martial arts in the world, although I have not heard much, I have seen even less."

The man in black also followed: "Good brother will encounter the secret weapon of 'Flying Star Villa' in the future, if you can be more careful because of this, it will not be a bad thing to be injured today." Except for the fact that his brother was mixed up and slightly naïve when he quarreled, most of the time he was normal.

The man in black used the woman's silver to get the money, and immediately set off, this time changing the man in black to catch the car. Qi Tian said: "In Xia Qitian, we have been together for so long, and I haven't consulted the names of the two seniors, but it's very rude." ”

He met these two people in Pingshui yesterday, and there was no need for him to use his name, and then he was injured and fainted, and he woke up in the middle of the night and was coldly beaten by the nonsense of the man in black, and he couldn't intervene in the store, and he didn't get a defecation until now.

The man in white looked embarrassed, and said squirmingly: "Lao Bai, my surname is Chang, my father said before his death that I lacked fire in the five elements, so I called Huohuo." My brother's name is Shuishui. ”

Qi Tian didn't need to ask more, he knew that the man in black was also short of water in the five elements, but the old father's name was too arbitrary. He suddenly thought that these two people were usually arguing, but if they were incompatible, they dared to love because of their names?

Qi Tian knew that he was rude, and hurriedly endured and said: "Don't blame the seniors, I am in the next ...... In the next ......" he said twice in a row, but he couldn't think of the words coming from Yuanqi, so he had to pretend to be sick and said: "The junior's meridians suddenly stinged a little, so I squinted for a while." ”

Chang Shuishui has a black face, this name is his brother's biggest taboo, usually if anyone hears a trace of disrespect, he will be angry with his brother's thunder, if it weren't for Qi Tian's "attack on Changgong", it is related to a matter of great importance to his brother, and he almost can't bear it.

The car is wheeling, and the horse is Xiao Xiao. Walking day and night, it will not take a day to reach Yanmen Pass. It is rumored that the wild geese return from the south to the north, and most of them pass through this, so they are named.

Its pass is located on Yanmen Mountain, Guan Mountain is majestic, and has the reputation of "Nine Sai Respect the First Pass". but it is a barrier toward the north, and by this it is a foreign land.

Xu is a great cause since the first emperor started, and for nearly 60 years, there has been peace with the north, and even at such an important pass, the soldiers guarding the gate are very lax. Except for the two soldiers who pretended to take stock of the caravans coming in and out, the rest were sagging and sitting on the city wall and basking in the sun, and some of the weapons were even scattered far away.

The sergeant on duty checked for a moment and instructed: "If the three of you pass the customs, please go quickly, if you come for businessmen, it is best to go home." ”

Qi Tian was originally suspicious, such an important pass, such a lax garrison, it was already incomprehensible? Listening to the sergeant's words, there was even more hidden secret. He lifted the curtain, and when he was about to ask questions, the sergeant waved his hand impatiently.

Chang Shuidao, who was driving the car: "We're just clearing customs, no matter what these does." "Drive into the gates.

Yanmen Pass is built on the mountain, both as the gateway to the north, the south to the north, it is said that the merchants should gather. When the three of them entered the city, there were many shops on the street, but there were few pedestrians, and the scene was very lonely.

Chang Shuishui parked the carriage in front of a "Yunlai Inn" and said: "It's almost time to apply, there is a market town dozens of miles out of the customs, and I can only rest here tonight." ”

Qi Tian and Chang Huohuo got out of the car, and the three of them went into the store, and the huge inn, except for the shopkeeper lying on the counter dozing, there were no other people.

The shopkeeper heard the footsteps, stood up, and there was not much joy on his face, and asked, "Where are the three guest officers staying in the hotel?" "When you pick up the pen, you have to register.

Qi Tian said: "The shopkeeper is not in a hurry, pour us some water to drink first." The shopkeeper put down his pen and said, "Do you drink tea or water......?"

Without waiting for the shopkeeper to finish speaking, Chang Shuishui jumped up and scolded: "A pot of boiling water costs half a tael of silver, why don't you grab it?"

Qi Tian also frowned, although he is not very old, but since he left home, his footprints have been very wide, the customs of each place are different, and there are expensive food, clothing, housing and transportation, but a pot of water is sold for five hundred Wen, which is really unheard of.

The shopkeeper's face not only showed no shame, but said confidently: "Five hundred wen a pot of boiling water, the small shop can be regarded as the cheapest in Yanmen Pass, if a few people come later, I am afraid that it will have to rise." ”

Chang Huohuo slammed the table and said, "That family is in business, don't provide tea for free? ”

The shopkeeper did not negotiate the price, and said indifferently: "Are the three of you going to eat white food? There are thousands of garrisons in Yanmen Pass, and if you want to go wild here, you are afraid that you will find the wrong place." ”

Chang Shuishui said loudly: "Thousands of rookies, make Lao Hei unhappy, and break its neck together." ”

Suddenly, a voice outside said coldly: "What a big breath, this captain wants to see who is sacred, and he doesn't even take my Yanmen Pass garrison in his eyes!"

As he spoke, seven soldiers came in from outside the door, squeezing the store to the brim. The first one was dressed in the uniform of a school captain, in his thirties, tall, with a short beard on his face, and he looked quite mighty.

The shopkeeper cheered up, stepped forward, and said, "Chief Lan is on patrol! He shouted loudly: "Pillar, Chief Lan is here, make a pot of tea." ”

The sound was answered inside, and a young man in Tsing Yi came out after a while, sleepy-eyed with a pot of hot tea, and put it on the guest table in the middle.

The young general named Chief Lan said with a smile: "The shopkeeper's tea is 800 wen a pot, and Lao Lan can't afford to eat it." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Don't want money, don't want money, please drink the small ones." ”

The other six soldiers were salivating one by one, thinking that the man was strict, and the six people looked at the hot tea on the table, and then looked at Chief Lan, but none of them moved.

Chief Lan just didn't know, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said lightly: "No merit, such an expensive tea, Lan can't afford it." ”

A soldier next to him said: "Chief, we have worked hard to inspect and protect them from doing business safely, what does it matter if you drink a few cups of tea from him?"

The shopkeeper said in a loud voice: "Exactly, exactly." Flipping the teacups from the table, pouring them one by one, gesturing: "Master Jun, try it, this is the first tea brought by the little trustee from Jiangnan." When the soldiers heard this, their faces became even more greedy.

The blue chief said: "It is the duty of my generation of soldiers to defend the land and protect the people, if they are coquettish and wantonly take the fat and ointment of the people, how is it different from the bandits? ”

Qi Tian cheered fiercely and praised: "That's a good point." Chang Huohuo said: "Be a man but want to be happy, there are so many rules and regulations, you don't drink, Lao Hei is welcome." ”

His hand speed is extremely fast, starting from saying the word "can" to the end of the word "has", in just five words, he has drunk five cups in a row. Chang Shui said: "I'm not welcome, Lao Bai." "Stretch out your hand,

Seeing his movements, the shopkeeper hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, but the person's arm seemed to be able to turn, and he got into it through the gap, and the remaining two cups of spring tea were taken to drink by the other party one after another. The shopkeeper's face was dark, and he opened his hand and said, "A pot of eight hundred Wen, take the money." ”

Chang Shui said sullenly: "Bully our old man, people don't need money to drink tea, and when it's my brother's turn, the lion will open his mouth, is there any royal law?" completely forgot that he sold a chess piece for a hundred taels, and even more so that the lion opened his mouth.

The shopkeeper scolded: "Chief Lan is conscientious and guards the safety of Yanmen Pass, Lao Wang, I invite him to tea, I respect others." The price of our store is clearly marked, and you two will drink it as soon as you drink it, why are you ashamed of your age, and you don't admit it after drinking?"

Qi Tian saw that the shopkeeper's words were sharp, and he was so frightened that the Chang brothers made a move, but he was penniless, or he settled the account on his behalf.

Who knew that Chang Shuishui was not angry, but said with a smile: "I drank the tea, but I didn't lie, it is indeed the first spring tea." But if you want tea money, you don't have a door. ”

The shopkeeper was so angry that he trembled, and the halberd scolded: "Okay, two old shameless things, this is a trick." It just so happens that Chief Lan is here to testify, if you don't give money for tea, you will sue the official, and I will also have a clear theory. ”

Chang Shuishui also came to the fire: "If you say no, there will be no one, you will sue the emperor, and it is impossible to give this tea money." Eight hundred wen a cup of tea, you think this is a robbery?"

The shopkeeper turned to Chief Lan angrily and said, "Chief Lan Mingjian, this is not Lao Wang Qiang buying and selling, please uphold justice." ”

Chief Lan sighed and said to the Chang brothers and Qi Tian: "The two old men and the little brother want to come from afar, but they don't know something, if it weren't for Lan's garrison here, it would be difficult to accept the tea brewed by eight hundred wen at first glance." It's just that after a few years of drinking, the water from a few ancient wells in the city has been itching all over the body, and all the domestic water at the moment is still in short supply by transporting it from hundreds of miles away. ”

After Commander Lan finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and bent towards the soldier who had just spoken. The soldier knew that he was going to borrow money for relief again, but he was reluctant to do anything, so he still frowned and took out a dime of broken silver and stuffed it into his palm.

Chief Lan sneered and said, "Good brother, I will pay you back for my brother next month." The other five looked at him together, and it was clear that they owed them a lot.
