Chapter 2 Listening

This beauty is dressed in a light red purple phoenix skirt robe, wearing a crown of purple and gold hair, three thousand green silk is tightly wound by a blue hairband, the exquisite body curve is perfect under the outline of the robe, and the facial features are even more delicate and impeccable, showing a smart beauty under the background of snow-white skin. This beauty is about twenty-three or four years old, not a few years older than the young man, but the mature aura she exudes is not at all comparable to the latter.

After the beautiful woman in red approached the two, she first saluted the old man respectfully, and then smiled and nodded to the young man, only to see her say in a playful tone: "I haven't seen you for a few days, do you miss me?" ”

"How can I not want to, especially this kid, who is chanting your name all day long, and my ears are almost calloused when I hear it. Master Ye then replied.

"Oh? I'm flattered by that sister. The beautiful woman in red raised the corners of her mouth at the young man.

The young man also smiled shyly, but he was thinking in his heart: "It's obvious that you old guy is chanting other people's names all day long, which makes my ears almost calloused!"

"The old man's complexion seems to be much better today, has there been anything good?"

The old man laughed twice and replied, "It's all half-buried people in the loess, what else can be good." As long as this stinky boy can eat and have a full stomach, his complexion will naturally be fine. If Han Yatou can drink two cups with my old bones, then I will naturally be full of spring breeze. ”

Regarding the old guy's jokes, the beauty smiled faintly, and then replied: "When will you be willing to accept me as an apprentice, then I will toast you every day, no problem, but it's a pity that Xiaoya doesn't have the blessing of Brother Mu." The beautiful woman in red had asked the old man to take her as an apprentice more than once, but he politely refused.

"Han Yatou's mouth is really getting sweeter and sweeter, just like smearing honey. You don't know, every day from morning to night, I have to face an elm pimple, and it annoys me to death. There should be a little girl around her, and this kind of life is called fun. ”

Looking at the appearance of the master's eyebrows, the young man couldn't help frowning, he really wanted to spit out the old guy now. His lips moved slightly, and then he gently spat out four words from his mouth: old, no, positive, and serious. Although he would love to say these words in front of the old guy, it was absolutely impossible.

"The old man asked for a pound of bamboo leaves, but the old guys who drank with me didn't come, and this stupid boy didn't drink at all. It's a pity that this wine is wasted, if Han Yatou is free, why don't you sit down and drink two glasses together?"

"The two distinguished guests came, and the little sister was supposed to accompany her for a few drinks, but today she really has important matters and can't get out, and after the matter is over, Han Ya will pour wine to the two of them to make amends. ”

Han Ya is the name of this beauty. This name is almost unknown to everyone within a radius of 100 miles. Of course, it mainly refers to men.

"The main thing? It's about the infighting between the Sky Star Gang and the Nine Doors, I heard that the two gangs are going to merge, is it true?"

"Is there such a thing? How could I not know. In response to the young man's question, Han Ya only gently stroked the jade neck.

"Didn't you say that the Nine Doors robbed the Celestial Star Gang of tribute, isn't it true?" As soon as the young man finished speaking, the expression on Han Ya's face changed.

"Where did my brother hear this?"

Of course, the young man couldn't tell her that it was the shopkeeper who said it, so he said casually: "Things like this have been spread for a long time, and I just hearsay, hearsay." "The Sky Star Gang and Nine Doors are allies on the surface, but in private, there are often some small frictions, such as brawls and business grabbing. This is not a secret, but because of the prestige of the two gangs, there are few people who dare to bring it up directly. In addition, this time it is a tribute from the royal family, and it is too late for all people to avoid it, and it is even more impossible to hear it. So the little guy's level of lying is really too bad.

"I thought my brother only knew how to practice martial arts all day long, but I didn't expect the news to be quite well-informed, my sister should really be impressed by you. ”

"I was only skeptical at first, but it seems that this is the case. ”

Han Ya shrugged her shoulders and replied, "I don't know what will happen. I'm just in charge of this restaurant. I never interfere in the affairs of the gang, which is what my uncle meant. ”

"Your uncle just wants to monopolize the power, even I, an outsider, can see it! You actually don't have to pay attention to him at all, you are the daughter of the previous gang leader, I don't believe that no one in the Tianxing Gang supports you, my sister should be a little more confident." His voice was a little annoyed, since a long time ago, he was very tired of Han Ya's uncle.

"Okay! Where do you need to talk too much in other people's housework, just take care of yourself!" Master Ye glared at the young man and motioned for him to stop talking quickly.

But in response to Master's warning, the little guy put on a deaf attitude, and he continued: "Whether the two earth snakes fight or not, how many people will die in the end has nothing to do with me. But if someone bullies my sister, I can't pretend not to see it!"

Han Ya patted him lightly on the shoulder and said softly, "I will be satisfied with your words." But this little thing is still handled by my sister, so I don't have to worry about my brother. ”

"Sister, do you need help...... Just say it. Whether it's on the knife mountain or under the oil pot, I must ....." Before he finished speaking, he heard a snapping sound, and the back of his head was chopped again!

"Why are you beating me again?!" the little guy yelled angrily at the master.

"I see that your brain is a little fluttering!So let you sober up! If you continue like this, I see that you will almost forget your last name!" Master Ye also roared, "The strength of the Tianxing Gang is strong, and there are countless masters, where can I use you to come out! Or are you very capable?"

The old man's words were directly asked by the little guy, and he really didn't know how to answer this sentence. Compared to Master, he is really nothing.

The young man was stunned for a moment and replied, "I think... My sister usually takes care of us... Besides, don't you always teach me that when the road is uneven, you have to draw a sword to help. ”

The old man was silent for a moment, and then spit out twenty-five words with a final pause: "The premise is that your knife is sharp enough, otherwise not only will you not be able to help others, but you will also hurt yourself!" The young man wanted to retort, but was stopped by Han Ya in time, she stroked his back a few times, and waved her hand.

"Okay, okay, the two of you are here for fun, don't make trouble because of a little thing, besides, there should be harmony between master and apprentice, how can you quarrel at every turn, isn't this a joke for outsiders. Han Ya has been with the two for nearly three years, and she knows the temper of the old and the young quite well. She knew that if the two of them were allowed to continue arguing, they would most likely start a fight. Although these two are masters and apprentices, they are not ambiguous at all when they fight. "My brother's righteousness is very touching, but... Please also pay a little attention to the occasion. Han Ya glanced behind her slightly, and the little guy's gaze drifted along her eyes. At this moment, almost all the guests in the hall were glaring at the young man with an extremely vicious gaze, as if there was some deep hatred between the two. Among these guests, many of them had tried their best to curry favor with Han Ya, but in the end, nothing came of it. The latter didn't even bother to look at them more. And this hairy boy who doesn't look amazing can always talk to her so easily, which will naturally attract the strong resentment of some suitors.

The little guy was glared at a little weak, so he turned his face away. Han Ya also seized this opportunity and continued: "It's a bit unfortunate that the two of you came here today, if something happens later that you can't see or listen to, please don't interfere." Just leave it to Xiaomei to deal with it herself. ”

The old man suddenly waved his robe, and then an invisible energy emanated from his cuffs. The target of this energy was none other than his apprentice. When the young man was struck by the strong wind, he involuntarily leaned back and almost fell out of his chair. However, this energy only condensed on his lips, and did not mean to hurt him. It turned out that the old fellow, in order to prevent his 'beloved apprentice' from continuing to talk nonsense, simply blocked his mouth with a strong wind. Only in this way can he feel a little more at ease. "Although Han Yatou is relieved, the old man will never ask more about things that should not be interfered with. The old man is also a person who has half a foot in the coffin, and he just wants to drink a few more glasses of wine in the rest of his life, and then live a quiet life, you can rest assured. ”

"In that case, I'm relieved. Wait until this is over...... Let's have two more drinks. Han Ya saluted the old man again, then turned around and walked away, no one could see her expression at the moment. Seeing Han Ya's figure gradually disappearing, the old man breathed a sigh of relief. With a flick of his fingertips, the true qi wrapped around the young man's mouth immediately dispersed.

"You're so reluctant to let me speak, you have to keep my mouth shut!" the little guy wiped his mouth angrily.

"I didn't let you talk because I was afraid that you would make a mistake, I said I wouldn't do it, but I didn't say I wouldn't let you do it, what are you anxious about!"

"And what the hell do you mean?"

"Anyway, it's not the time yet, so there's no need to talk about it. After a pause, the old man continued, "If I expect it to be good, there should be a special group of guests in the future, and then we will see you again." ”

“...... I still don't get it. ”

"Then you can continue to be confused, what should come will come. You see, our food and drinks are already here. The old man pointed back, and it turned out that the shopkeeper who had just left walked back, and there were a few more delicate dishes on his tray, and a jar of fine wine that had not yet been opened.

"All the wine and food you want are ready, this pot of bamboo leaf green was specially given to the two by the proprietress of the hostess, please use it slowly. ”

The old man immediately opened the lid after taking the wine jar, although the wine had not yet been drunk, but the smell of the wine alone was already smoked, and he couldn't stand it.

"Thank you for me, hostess. The old man gulped down the wine, and at the same time did not forget to tell the young man to hurry up and eat. The little guy was already hungry and panicked, so he immediately grabbed his chopsticks and devoured them. He had never liked to use his brain, and he didn't think much about what Master said.

After eating for a long time, the stomachs of the two gradually became fuller. The young man lay on his chair and hiccuped, and the old man continued to taste his wine. In an instant, the old man raised his eyebrows, he put down the wine glass in his hand, and said to the young man, "Have you heard any movement?" ”

"I've heard it for a long time. It should be the sound of horses' hooves, and it is about a dozen miles away from here. The young man sat up straight and replied.

"Well, that's true, can you tell how many people there are, how many horses?"

"It's not hard. The little one leaned his ear down to the table and listened carefully. "Five... Eight... A baker's dozen... Seventeen. After a while, he sat up and replied, "There must be eighteen men and seventeen horses." ”

The old man slowly took a sip of wine, "Why are there only seventeen horses in eighteen people?" Is there a man running on the ground?"

"For one horse pulled the chariot, and one sat in the chariot, and another chariot, and the other sixteen were on horses, and that is why eighteen men had only seventeen horses. ”

"How did you tell there was a carriage? ”

"It's simpler. The sound of the whips of the remaining sixteen was a little more delicate than that of the last. The sound of the reins whipping the horse's back was heavier than a normal whip, and I could still make out the sound of the four wheels of the carriage rubbing against the ground. ”

"Since you're so powerful, then I'll raise the difficulty a little more, can you tell me the approximate age of these eighteen people, this matter is a little more difficult. ”

The young man's face changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. After being silent for a long time, he smiled bitterly: "It's not just a little difficult, but you can really entertain me in different ways." ”

"Are you throwing in the towel?"

"I just said it was difficult, but I didn't say it couldn't be done. He stretched out his hands, then pressed his index finger against his ear, and then a faint white gas came out of his fingertips, seeping into his ear piercing little by little. The pores of the young man's whole body seemed to be constantly enlarged with the injection of white qi. His hearing increased dozens of times in an instant. "Hmm...... Judging from the sound of breathing and heartbeat, four of the sixteen people on horseback were about forty years old, seven were about thirty years old, and the other six were all thirty-five years old. The driver of the carriage and the person who sat in the carriage were the youngest, especially the man in the carriage, who was probably not yet thirty years old. The little one replied intermittently.

"Well answered, I have one last question, if you can even answer this question, I will take you with big fish and meat every day for the next month, and eat Haisai!"

"Just ask! The young man looked confident.

The old man thief laughed, "I want to ask you, can you hear the martial arts level of these dozen people! ”

After listening to Master's words, the corners of the young man's face twitched slightly, and he could only reply with a smile: "Do you know that I can't answer, so you deliberately tempted me with a big meal." ”

"You can see it, when did you see me trading at a loss? ”

"Of course I haven't. It's like I've never seen the sun come out of the west!, but can you answer the question I can't answer yourself?" the young man was not willing to be mocked by his master, and he decided to find a way to save some face. How difficult it is to tell a person's skill level by hearing alone, not to mention that the other party is still more than ten miles away. It's not that no one can do it, but those who can do it are all grandmaster-level masters, at least with the little guy's current skills, they will never be able to do it. Although he knew that his master's martial arts had reached an unfathomable level, he still couldn't help but want to test it, which was also the nature of martial arts practitioners.

The old man seemed to see the apprentice's thoughts, and he drank the wine from the cup, "Then let me tell you." Six of these eighteen people are great martial artists, and among the remaining twelve people, there are eight martial artists, and although the last four are martial artists, they are also high-level martial artists. The man in the carriage was the most powerful, I guess... He should have reached the Qi Master level. "In the eyes of the apprentices, it was difficult to compare with the things that reached the sky, but the master easily described them.

In addition to deepening his admiration for the master, the young man also had a doubt in his heart. "Qi Master Level?" After hearing these three words, the little guy's brows wrinkled at first, only to see him say thoughtfully: "There is actually a Qi Master-level, I remember that in the entire Shandong area, there are only a few Qi Master-level ones in total, how can I ...... here." ”

"Although his aura has reached the Qi Master level, but... It's not stable, it should have just been promoted, at most it is the level of a first-level qi master, maybe it's not yet, what are you nervous about. ”

"Uh...... I've never seen a Qi Master-level master since I was a child, so I'm inevitably a little excited. ”

"Don't be nervous, what can you do when you reach the Qi Master level, can you beat you or hurt me? ”

"No, it's not right, it's so wrong..."The young man seemed to notice something, "If according to what you said, all of these eighteen people are high-level martial artists, and there is even a Qi master master, then what are they doing here? Do they just happen to get together for dinner, a party, a bond, or a kung fu? Unlikely. ”

"That's what I'm thinking, but at least one thing is for sure, they're going to target this restaurant. ”

"Why are you so sure?"

"Alas, use your brains well, how many are so generous in the entire Qilu territory?"

"Hmm... Excluding a few major sects, there should be only nine doors and the Celestial Star Gang left. ”

"Okay, if you're them, who are you going to target first when you come here?"

The young man thought for a while, and replied: "The several major sects and the two major gangs should not be short of money, so naturally it is impossible for them to come to Qianzhuang, and besides, they can't pull this face." There were only a few small gangs around, but there was no climate, and it was certainly impossible to summon so many people...... Sister Han is the righteous daughter of the previous leader of the Tianxing Gang!

"You stupid boy has finally opened his mind, something must be going to happen here, right now, right now, right now, right here. The little guy suddenly thought of Han Ya's various abnormal behaviors, and it seemed that the whole thing revolved around an unknown center. "They should still be ten miles away by now, listening to the voices... It's really coming in this direction!"

Old man: "Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come." Looks like we're going to make some noise today. ”
