First Entering Shiwan Lane Chapter 82: The Old Beggar of the Qiang Royal Family?
"Poof!" Liu Buxiu almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood when he heard this, but fortunately he reacted quickly and covered his mouth in time. "What kind of son inherits his father's business, how can I call that old beggar father. Besides, you think I want to be, I'm just being cheated by that old thing. ”
"Shopkeeper, forget it, who can cheat you. And I think you're pretty comfortable, and I don't want to pick on you. Yu Xiaohang glanced at Liu Buxiu and shook his head, letting out two disdainful swishes.
"If nothing else, based on their performance at night, I think it's worth it to be the landlord of this building. ”
Liu Buxiu recalled the scene when he fought with Jingying, and sighed sincerely, saying that he looked at the four protectors with emotion, but saw that the four people were like the reincarnation of a starving ghost. The emotions that had just been brewing disappeared at once, and I had to look at the four people with tears and laughter.
Liu Fang nodded: "Well, indeed." Brother, since the old beggar's subordinates are so powerful, how powerful should the old beggar be. You tell the truth, at that time, you were begging for someone to teach you at all, otherwise how could such a powerful character fall in love with you. ”
"How can it be? He saw that your brother and I were very skeletal and talented, and he wanted to teach me in vain. This old thing doesn't sleep by himself every night, and won't let me sleep. In the middle of the night, I had to tell me all that mess, knowing that I was growing my body, and if it weren't for him, I would have grown at least a few inches taller. ”
Liu chattered and complained, and suddenly after thinking about it, he realized that something didn't seem to be quite right, and said to the four protectors: "By the way, don't eat the four of you, let me ask you something." ”
"Young landlord, you said. The four of them turned neatly to face Liu Buxiu, still holding a bowl in their hands and a dish on their chopsticks.
"When did your old landlord disappear?"
"Four years ago. ”
"He couldn't have disappeared for no reason, it had to be something. Do you remember what happened at that time, or if there was anything strange and suspicious? ”
The four Dharma Protectors looked at each other, shook their heads, and said, "No, it's all normal." ”
Liu Buxiu frowned and touched his chin: "It shouldn't be, there is no reason why the old beggar left Langya Tower, you can think about it carefully, no matter how small things you are, you can talk about it." ”
Rujia thought for a while and said, "Young landlord, I think of a thing, I don't know if it counts." ”
"Tell me about it. ”
"That's right, the old landlord sent me to the border to check some news related to the Qiang royal family, just a few days before the old landlord left, I happened to be in Weiling to return to life, will there be anything between the two things. ”
"The Qiang royal family, your Langyalou's hand is too long, even the Qiang royal family can check it. Yu Xiaohang exclaimed.
Liu Buzhi asked: "Who wants to investigate this matter, what is the content, and when did you return to Weiling?"
"Naturally, he is an old landlord, and he said that the employer is a big customer who can't reveal his identity. About four years ago. The content is very short, just six words: The queen of the Qiang nationality is critically ill. ”
Liu Buxiu slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "This makes sense!" and then turned his head and asked Liu Fang, "Xiaofang, do you remember when we met the old beggar?"
Liu Fang looked confused, not knowing what Liu Buxiu was excited about, and replied blankly: "It was also four years ago." ”
"Where were we four years ago?"
"Yuzhou City. As soon as Liu Fang said this, he suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed slightly and said: "Yuzhou City is on the border between the Southern Zhou Dynasty and the Qiang people! Brother, so the old beggar left Langya Tower four years ago to find us?"
"Yes, it's very likely. ”
"Shopkeeper, according to your analysis, isn't there something wrong with the old landlord of Langya Building. For a business, he personally ran to Yuzhou City. When I arrived in Yuzhou City, I didn't continue to inquire about the news in depth, but found you and Liu Fang, and I had to give you a lecture at night, and I talked about it for several years, and after I was done, I handed over Langya Tower to you and disappeared by myself. Isn't this pure disease? What do you say he is trying to do?" Yu Xiaohang analyzed it seriously, and he didn't understand the old beggar's behavior very much.
Yu Zhao guessed: "What if this so-called big customer is the old owner of Langya Tower himself? Could it be because he has a relationship with the Qiang royal family, so he rushed to Yuzhou City after getting the news that the Qiang queen is critically ill." If that's the case, the old owner of Langya Tower will find you and Liu Fang in Yuzhou City, doesn't that mean that you and Liu Fang are also related to the Qiang royal family?"
"This is impossible, the physical characteristics of the Qiang people are very different from those of the Southern Zhou people, no matter what else, just in terms of high nose bridge and blue eyes, it is impossible for the shopkeeper and Xiaofang to have Qiang blood. Qi Delong just stared at Liu Fang and Liu Buxiu up and down, shook his head and said.
"Yes, if Xiaofang and I were royal, no matter where it was, we wouldn't be reduced to begging. Liu Buxiu listened to Yu Zhao's guess, looked at Xiao Fang and smiled.
Sheng Qi, who had not spoken, suddenly asked angrily: "Shopkeeper Liu, is the old owner of Langya Mansion you are talking about dying?"
"Well, Brother Shengqi, what do you mean by that?" Liu Buxiu was startled by Shengqi's words, raised half of his eyebrows, and asked rhetorically.
Not only Liu Buxiu, but everyone's eyes were already focused on him when they heard Katsuchi speak, waiting for his next step.
Sheng Qi was stared at by so many people, and he was nervous for no reason, and he cleared his throat and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, I don't mean anything else, don't misunderstand." It's just that I heard you say that the old landlord first left Langya Tower and went to the border. Then he finds you, teaches you, and then disappears. Looking at this whole thing, isn't this just an explanation of the aftermath. ”
"First of all, I came to the conclusion that I was about to die from the news of my subordinates, and then went to Yuzhou to find my successor, and after the teaching was completed, I guided you to take over Langya Lou and find a place to fend for yourself, so it seems that it is much more logical. ”
Usually everyone thinks that Shengqi is a rough person, and it will definitely not work when it comes to the place where he uses his brain. But just now his words couldn't help but make everyone look at him with admiration, simple people look at things simply, and don't think so much, maybe they can get the final answer.
"Well, what Brother Sheng Seventh said is not unreasonable. However, according to the four years that Xiaofang and I have been with the old beggar, he doesn't look like he is in good health, who have you ever seen who knew that he was dying four years ago, and drank Hantan incense for four years in a row. The old beggar's body must be fine, if you want to say that it will not be able to do it unless it is ......" Liu Buxiu rubbed his chin with his fingers, and stopped talking.
Katsuchi asked, "Unless what?"
Liu Buxiu's expression suddenly became serious, and he said word by word: "Unless he is looking for death himself!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the courtyard suddenly fell silent, and everyone fell into silence. Although for the children of the rivers and lakes, death is not a word worth tabooing. In the rivers and lakes, death and injury are commonplace and inevitable. But it was all out of accident or helplessness, and no normal person would feel that he had lived too long and took the initiative to die.
Yu Xiaohang laughed dryly: "Haha, the shopkeeper is laughing." This is just our speculation, how to find the old owner of Langya Building, ask in person, let's talk about it. ”
"Yes, yes, brother, don't think about it if you don't have a shadow, let's take care of the present. Liu Fang echoed at the right time to ease the embarrassing situation.
"Young landlord, since you are now, I don't know when you will go back to Shaxian with us, although you are actually the landlord of Langya Tower, but the necessary ceremonies still have to be carried out, after all, this is also a big deal for Langya Tower. Kong Lianshun put down the bowl in his hand and said.
Liu Buxiu replied: "In a few days, I haven't been in a hurry to wait for so long." Rest assured, when the follow-up processing here is over, we will leave immediately. Since I have promised you, I will definitely go. ”
Bu Jing's mouth was stuffed with food, and he said vaguely: "Young landlord, this cook of your Wanshiwu is really a good cook, you must bring him with you when you go to Shaxian, maybe he can become the god of food this year." ”
Liu Buxiu replied: "God of Food, what God of Food?"
Home Inn replied: "In fact, it is a cooking competition in Shaxian County, every autumn, regardless of whether it is the Southern Zhou, Qiang or other countries' cooks, they will come to Shaxian from all over the country to have a big competition to compete for the title of God of Food." ”
Qi Qi looked at Yu Xiaohang with a pair of big eyes and asked, "Oh, is the title of God of Food very powerful? Uncle Yu, do you know this?"
Yu Xiaohang explained: "That's definitely knowing, but no one who is a cook doesn't know about it." In fact, the Chef God Contest is equivalent to the martial arts conference in the rivers and lakes, and the Chef God is equal to the leader of the martial arts alliance. ”
When Liu Fang heard this, she asked Yu Xiaohang with a smile: "The leader of the martial arts alliance can command the heroes, do you want to order the group of cooks when you become the god of cooking? Ask the cooks to go to the battlefield to cook unpalatable meals for the enemy, disgusting the enemy?"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh.
Yu Xiaohang retorted: "You don't understand this, Xiaofang." As the saying goes, one law is all over ten thousand laws, even if a cook can really reach the peak of the realm, then his martial arts are not far behind. ”
If Yu Xiaohang and Liu Fang want to argue, one day is not enough for the two of them to quarrel. Liu Buxiu had no choice but to change the subject: "Okay, okay." Let's postpone the competition, anyway, sooner or later we have to go to Shaxian. Now the first problem we need to solve is the guy in the men's house who framed the door. ”
Qi Delong just squeezed his eyebrows at Liu Buxiu and said, "Yes, I almost forgot him." Shopkeeper, what are you going to do with this person? Do you need me to prepare two sticks for him and boil him up? As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Zhao frowned, and the foot under the table stepped on the top of Qi Delonggang's foot, and Qi Delonggang's scream was forcibly suppressed and turned into a muffled snort.
"It's okay to boil, since he has no malice, he must be released. But listening to what he meant, it seems that there are still many people who are about to arrive, and they are all coming to grab the Seven Orders. In that case, we might as well act on a scene and let Huang Bo do us a favor, and you guys come over with your ears. The corners of Liu Buxiu's mouth rose wildly, and he smiled evilly and stretched out his hand to beckon everyone to come over.
