Chapter 5: Drinking and Talking at Night
It was late at night.
The wild shop outside Jinling City is still lit.
The owner of the shop was a hunched old man, who was squatting in front of the stove, adding firewood to it.
A pot of pork ribs is simmering on the stove, and the aroma wafts out of the pot and fills the small shop.
Yu Xiaoyao and Feng Lilong drank wine together, and Feng Lilong's eyes kept glancing at the big pot stewed with pork ribs.
After coming out of Lady Snow, Yu Xiaoyao asked Feng Lilong, "How is it?"
Feng Lilong touched his stomach, smashed his mouth, and said, "I'm hungry after listening to the story, go, drink wine and eat meat." ”
Naturally, there are big restaurants in Jinling City that open their doors late at night to welcome guests, but Feng Lilong didn't want to go to that kind of place, so he had to pull Yu Xiaoyao out of the city wall, found this small wild shop in the wilderness, ordered a jar of old wine, and shouted that the boss stewed a pot of meat and bones.
"Old Wei, are the pork ribs ready!" Feng Lilong put down his wine glass and yelled as he banged on the table.
"What's the hurry. Old man Wei blew his beard and glared back, "You have to simmer on a low fire for a while." It looks like a starving ghost reincarnated. ”
Saying that, he muttered and went to add firewood, "I ran around in the middle of the night to toss my old bones, and I don't know what you think." ”
"Naturally, I came here to eat meat. Feng Lilong said as a matter of course, "The wine is gone, add wine!"
"You don't know where the wine jar is, add it yourself!" said Old Man Wei angrily.
Feng Lilong was not angry, and went to add a jar of wine and came back.
Yu Xiaoyao couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, "You've become a little guy who adds wine now." ”
"So what. Feng Lilong said nonchalantly, "Master, it's not that I haven't been a little girl." ”
"You've also been a turtle slave. Yu Yao smiled.
"It's a pity that I haven't been a turtle slave in the Interpretation Building. Feng Lilong shook his head with some regret.
"I can go and see it another day. Yu Xiaoyao said, "The turtle slave walks around the green building, but it has a different style. ”
The two looked at each other and laughed.
After laughing, the two of them fell silent again.
The wood crackled and burned in the stove.
The pork ribs are gurgling and tumbling in the pan.
Old Man Wei yawned loudly and reached out to rub his eyes.
"Could it be Tang Qi?" Feng Lilong asked.
Jade Xiaoyao put down her glass, "I hope not." ”
"But?"
"However, the Heavenly Poison Palm is a mastery of the Tang Sect, and only the masters and successors of the Tang Sect can practice it throughout the ages, and Tang Qi was expelled from the Tang Sect because of stealing the Heavenly Poison Palm. Yu Xiaoyao said.
"Is that also Tang Yelin?or even Tang Zongze, the master of the Tang Sect?" Feng Lilong frowned.
"Madame Snow said that it was a young man who injured her. ”
"That's Tang Yelin!" Feng Lilong said.
"Young Master of the Tang Sect?" Yu Xiaoyao shook his head, "I don't think so." ”
Feng Lilong slammed the cup on the table, "Guess it, it's not, that's not, you tell me, who it will be." ”
Yu Xiaoyao smiled bitterly, and tapped her fingers lightly on the table.
"At present, there are three possibilities. ”
"First, the silver-faced man is Tang Yelin, the young master of the Tang Sect, but with Tang Yelin's arrogance, would he be willing to follow the golden knife sixth so obediently? ”
"Second, Tang Qi didn't know what method to use to repair the abolished meridians, and he also added the Liuhe Knife. So how did his short sword fall into the hands of Jinyiwei? There are too many doubts. ”
"Third, this is a person we don't know, I don't know where I stole the Heavenly Poison Palm, this possibility is also very small, but it should also be taken into account. ”
"Shhh Feng Lilong grinned and shook his head, "These three guesses don't seem to be very reliable. ”
"But at least this is a clue, if you find the silver-faced man, you will also find the sixth golden knife. ”
Feng Lilong raised a finger, "There is also the Interpretation Building." Do you think the Golden Knife Sixth will be there?"
"I don't know. Yu Xiaoyao shook her head.
Feng Lilong counted with his fingers, "Tang Gate, Tang Qi, Jinyi Wei, Xie Yu Lou." Now there are four places to check, and there are only two of us. ”
"No," Jade Xiaoyao stretched out his hand and pointed outside, "not two, but three." Miss Su, it's windy outside, why don't you come in and have a glass of wine to warm up?"
Su Qing walked in from outside the door and said, "The little woman is abrupt. ”
Feng Lilong sat on a stool, looking at the sky with his eyes and sighing again and again.
"Feng Gongzi, what's wrong, don't you want to see Su Qing?" asked Su Qing with a smile.
"If I didn't want to see Sister Fairy, I would have run away by now. Feng Lilong said listlessly.
"Would you give up this pot of meat?" quipped.
Feng Lilong said: "Naturally, I can't bear the meat, but I don't want to touch the trouble." ”
"Does Feng Gongzi think Su Qing is a trouble?"
"Alas, Sister Fairy is naturally not a trouble, but Sister Fairy is here with trouble. Naturally, I want to see Sister Fairy, but I'm afraid of the trouble my sister will bring, so I'm very annoyed. Feng Lilong scratched his head, revealing a distressed look.
This interesting statement made Su Qing can't help but smile.
Yu Xiaoyao sighed: "If you can make girls happy in this world, Brother Feng, you have to be one." ”
In a word, the wind is flying away from the dragon's eyebrows.
After Su Qing laughed, he said, "Su Qing heard the conversation between the two just now. ”
Yu Xiaoyao smiled slightly, in fact, not long after they came out, they found that Su Qing also came out, Feng Lilong's prank was upset, so he had to go out of the city to drink, just now the two of them laughed and chatted, and they didn't mention business for a long time, and it was also because of this.
"Stealing ears from the wall doesn't seem to be the work of a righteous gentleman. Yu Xiaoyao smiled.
"Yu Gongzi forgot, Su Qing is a little woman, not a gentleman. Su Qing winked at him slyly.
Yu Xiaoyao couldn't help but be happy, "Miss Su, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
"Su Qing is willing to help the two sons and find the sixth golden knife together. ”
"Miss Su is wrong about what she said. Yu Xiaoyao shook her head.
Su Qing looked at him puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"Obviously, you found us, but now why are you helping us?" said Yu Xiaoyao with a smile.
"Madame and I really hope to get your help," Su Qing said, "but you don't have to." But as far as I know, Yu Gongzi's friend may be controlled by the Golden Knife Sixth, or it may be lost in the hands of Jinyiwei, no matter what, the Jade Boy will definitely not abandon his friends, so with or without us, Jade Boy, you will end up with the Golden Knife Sixth. So the current situation is that if you want to find the Golden Knife Sixth, you need Su Qing's help, but Su Qing may not need the help of the two. ”
"If a woman is too smart, she won't like a man. Yu Xiaoyao said.
"Men think they are smarter than women, and they generally think they are smart. Su Qing met Yu Xiaoyao's eyes without giving in, the two of you look at me, I look at you, and I can't help but smile at each other.
"It's done!" Feng Lilong took out another wine glass and filled it with wine, "Sister Fairy, please!"
Su Qing picked up the wine glass, but was pressed down by Feng Lilong, "Alas, Sister Fairy, before drinking this glass of wine, the younger brother had a reluctant invitation. ”
"Feng Gongzi, please speak. ”
"In order to show the sincerity of cooperation, can you ask my sister to show her true face?" said Feng Lilong, frowning.
Su Qing was stunned, and seemed to be very embarrassed.
"Brother Feng is just a joke, Miss Su doesn't have to take it seriously. Jade Xiaoyao raised her glass, "Please." ”
Su Qing smiled and said, "What Feng Gongzi said is right, if you cooperate sincerely, how can you hide it anymore." As she spoke, she reached behind her ear and gently removed the veil from her face.
Yu Xiaoyao and Feng Lilong were stunned for a moment.
There is a stunning color in the world, and you can forget the vulgar dust.
It's just that there is a scar lying on the corner of this stunning beauty's mouth, which is hideous and terrifying, making people daunting.
Su Qing smiled again, there was a lot of bitterness and helplessness in this smile, and she gently hung the veil back.
Feng Lilong raised his hand and crackled his mouth, his cheeks red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Feng Gongzi!" Su Qing stretched out his hand to stop him, but was stopped by Yu Xiaoyao.
After Feng Lilong slapped himself, he jumped down from the stool, knelt on his knees, and swore to the sky: "I, Feng Lilong, swear to the sky, no matter whether I go to heaven or earth, I will kill this person!"
Tears appeared in the corners of Su Qing's eyes, "Feng Gongzi, who are you going to kill?"
Feng Lilong Zhengse said: "The person who did this kind of thing to you!"
Su Qing shook his head and said, "Feng Gongzi, don't bother, I have already killed him." ”
Feng Lilong stood there helplessly, "Sister, I'...... Alas, in the future, my sister said that I would die and I would go. After saying that, he took up the jar of wine, and drank half of the jar of wine.
The pork ribs have been stewed in the pan until they are soft.
The man who wanted to eat the pork ribs was already drunk on the table.
Yu Xiaoyao hummed a little song, tapping her knuckles lightly on the table to beat it.
Su Qing also drank too much, her right hand was on her chin, her eyes were misty, and she quietly looked at the flickering lights on the table.
Old man Wei squatted in front of the stove, his chin little by little, and he also fell asleep.
Suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves in the wind, and it was impossible to tell how many horses there were.
Su Qing's eyes widened in confusion, but his reaction had slowed down.
Yu Xiaoyao was unconscious, still humming softly.
Old man Wei was awakened by the sound of horses' hooves, yawned heavily, and stuffed the firewood in his hand into the stove that was about to go out. In the face of the strange sound of horses' hooves in the middle of the night, he was not afraid at all.
The sound of horses' hooves approached, and when I looked out of the doorway, I could see a large number of knights rushing towards the wild shop. When the sound of horses' hooves came near, it dispersed again, and the whole shop was filled with the sound of horses' hooves in all directions, and in a short time the sound of horses' hooves fell silent in all directions.
Su Qing looked at Yu Xiaoyao. Yu Xiaoyao held up a finger at her, made a silent motion, and pointed outside with a mysterious smile on his face.
"Jinyiwei is handling the case, the people inside get out!" came a loud shout from outside.
Yu Xiaoyao picked up the wine glass, opened his mouth, and silently said the word "door".
Su Qing looked at him puzzled.
"Jin Yiwei handled the case, and the people inside ...... Hmm!" the man's voice stopped abruptly, followed by a loud thud of a heavy object falling to the ground.
The wine glass in Yu Xiaoyao's hand was gone.
Su Qing laughed softly.
"You are so bold that you dare to attack the imperial court officials!" the man got up from the ground, "Lao Tzu is Zheng Zuozhou, one of the hundred households of Jinyiwei!" ”
"Zheng Baihu, right?" Yu Xiaoyao said lightly.
"That's right, which way you're on, report your name. That Zheng Zuozhou scolded with great might.
"I've heard of you, you used to be in the Tao. Yu Xiaoyao was not arrogant or impatient, and took a sip of the wine glass.
"Who are you?" Zheng Zuozhou's voice hesitated.
"Slap yourself three times and roll in. Yu Xiaoyao said lightly.
Su Qing pursed her lips lightly, feeling very amused at the scene in front of her, how could anyone who was arrested let the person who caught him slap himself.
But Yu Xiaoyao can.
"You...... Oh, no, who is the adult inside?" Zheng Zuozhou's voice trembled a little.
"My surname is Yang, and I serve flying fish. Yu Xiaoyao said lightly.
"Yes...... Yes yes...... Is it Yang Qianhu who has arrived?" Zheng Zuozhou said stumblingly.
"Hmph!" Yu Xiaoyao stopped talking, just snorted coldly.
There were three loud bangs at the door, and a fat and short voice rolled in from the door, and he didn't dare to look up, so he knelt on the ground when he came in, and kowtowed four or five times in one breath.
"The subordinates didn't know that Lord Qianhu had arrived, and he was reckless just now, Lord Qianhu forgave his sins and forgave his sins. ”
Su Qing's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that Yu Xiaoyao had brought this hundred households in so easily.
"Zheng Baihu came here late at night, who instigated him?" asked Yu Xiaoyao lukewarmly.
Zheng Zuozhou's head was tightly pressed against the ground, and he said: "Don't dare to hide it from the adults, my subordinates heard from others that the two thieves who killed my son and nephew were hiding here and drinking, so I brought people to come over and arrest people overnight, but I didn't expect to disturb the Lord of Qianhu, my subordinates should die, my subordinates should die." ”
"Who said that?" Yu Xiaoyao frowned.
"This ......"
"Say!" Yu Xiaoyao snorted.
The subordinates didn't know who the man was, only that the man was wearing a silver mask. ”
Silver masks?
Su Qing's eyes widened, and a cloud of anger burned from her eyes.
"Good. Yu Xiaoyao nodded, "Let your people go, you stay and pour me wine." ”
"Yes, yes. Zheng Zuozhou nodded again and again, don't turn his head and shout outside, "Do you hear, Lord Qianhu told you to get out of here, get out of here!"
The sound of horses' hooves trampled away.
Zheng Zuozhou lay on the ground, trembling all over.
Yu Xiaoyao drank another glass of wine before whispering to him: "Zheng Baihu, you raise your head and see who I am." ”
Zheng Zuozhou replied, and then raised his head tremblingly, and couldn't help but be shocked at this look, his trembling fingers were raised, pointing at Yu Xiaoyao and Su Qing, "You, you, you are not Yang Qianhu!"
Yu Xiaoyao pointed to Feng Lilong, who was lying on the table and was asleep, and said, "This is the thief who killed your nephew." Then he pointed to himself, "This is the thief who killed your son." ”
Zheng Zuozhou's face was pale, and he wanted to run out when he got up, but a chopstick flew and hit the back of his neck, Zheng Zuozhou fell to the ground with a thud and didn't move.
"Looks like we won't be able to eat meat tonight. Yu Xiaoyao shook his head, dropped a silver ingot on the table, and put Feng Lilong on his shoulder, "Let's go." ”
"It's a shame for this pot of meat. Old man Wei stood up, stretched out his hand to take out a piece of meat from the hot pot, and without looking at the silver on the table and the hundred households lying on the ground, he threw the steaming meat into his mouth.
"Well, rotten. ”
