Coming to the door of a restaurant, Qiu Mu was about to enter the door to ask, when he heard Fang Chiyan suddenly sigh, Qiu Mu said, "What's wrong?"

Fang Chiyan pointed to the wall with his hand and said, "Master, look." ”

Akiki looked in the direction he was pointing and saw that in the corner of the exterior wall of this restaurant, there was a lime painting, flame-shaped pattern. Fang Chiyan whispered to Qiu Mu: "This flame pattern is the contact mark of the Ming Sect. With this mark, it means that the members of the Ming Sect have settled here. The master stayed here for a while, and let the foolish brother go in to inquire, and by the way, see if there were any sect members. ”

"Brother Fang, please. ”

Fang Chiyan handed over the horse to his apprentice Cheng Hailong and walked into the restaurant.

Xu Jizhong was in the car, and when he saw that the carriage had stopped, he poked his head out and asked. Qiu Mu told the truth about the matter of Fang Cai. As the two were talking, they saw an old beggar on the street, holding a wooden stick in one hand and a broken bowl in the other, standing at the door of the restaurant, stretching his neck and looking inside.

Just as he was watching, a guy came out of the restaurant, pointed at the beggar and scolded him: "Hey! I said you stinky beggar, why don't you beg for food without looking at the time? Now is the time for dinner, you are at the door of my house, how can the guests come in to eat? Get out! Get out! Go out! Go quickly!"

The old beggar rubbed his hands together and begged: "This uncle is okay! The little old man has not eaten for two days, and your account is full of friends, and there must be food that cannot be eaten, so I beg the uncle to give some leftovers, so that the little old man can fill his stomach." ”

The man waved his hand impatiently and said, "No! No! Now I'm so busy hitting the back of my head with my heel, who has the spare time to care if you live or die? Hurry up, go quickly! If you don't leave, I'll make people bang up!"

Xu Jizhong heard all the words of the two clearly, and he was very dissatisfied when he saw that the man was so unkind, and he couldn't bear it when he saw the old beggar so pitiful. So he got out of the car and asked the guy, "May I ask the man, is there any vacancy in your restaurant?"

Seeing that Xu Jizhong was dressed luxuriously, the guy immediately put on a smiling face and said with a smile: "This uncle is going to eat, right? There are just two empty tables inside." ”

Xu Jizhong said: "Okay, we have all booked these two tables." ”

The guy smiled happily and said, "Okay! Okay! This uncle, everyone, please come in!"

Xu Jizhong said: "Wait. These two tables, one for our own use, and the other for you to entertain the old gentleman. The silver taels required are all paid by a certain family. ”

The guy was stunned, his face was embarrassed, he looked at the old beggar on the side, and said to Xu Jizhong: "Uncle, this, this ......"

Xu Jizhong's face sank, and he said: "When you enter the door, you are a guest, do you still want to bomb the guests out?"

The guy hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare......!"

Xu Fu on the side said sharply: "Snobbish thing! My young master asked you to entertain this old gentleman, you just have to be obedient and do it!" "Are you afraid that we won't have money for you?!"

Akiki also said: "Amitabha." Convenient with others, convenient for yourself. Man, you don't want to shirk it anymore. ”

The man was helpless, sighed, and said, "That is the case, everyone please come in, and this old gentleman, please come in!

Everyone got out of the car and walked into the restaurant. The old beggar followed behind the crowd and thanked them incessantly.

As soon as everyone entered the restaurant, they saw Fang Chiyan walking down from the second floor with a spring breeze on his face, and when he saw everyone entering the restaurant, he was stunned and said, "Everyone, this is ......."

Xu Jizhong said: "Fang Daxia, I just asked the guy below, and I learned that there were still two empty tables here, so I decided to start here." Fang Daxia, please come with us. ”

Fang Chiyan saw that there were outsiders there, and it was inconvenient to speak, so he had to nod and say, "Okay, good." So he followed the man to the corner of the first floor. There were two adjacent empty tables in the corner, one of which Xu Jizhong and his party sat on, and the old beggar occupied one alone.

After sitting down, a guy came over to order. After ordering, the guy went, and Fang Chiyan said: "Young Master Xu, Master Qiumu, Fang Moufang just went upstairs to check it out, and it was not someone else who settled here, it was Hanyang, the sect I taught." It turned out that Sect Leader Zhang had made an appointment to meet a parishioner, but that parishioner had not yet shown up, so Sect Leader Zhang waited here. ”

Qiu Mu and Xu Jizhong were surprised when they heard that Hanyang was here. Qiu Mu was just simply surprised, while Xu Jizhong was surprised, helpless, worried, and mixed.

I only heard Fang Chiyan continue: "Fang Mou has already told the sect leader that Master Qiumu and Young Master Xu's family are here, and the sect leader is very happy to hear about it, so he specially asked Fang Mou to come and invite you to see him." ”

Akiki said: "Amitabha." Sect Master Zhang invited him, and the poor monk never gave up. ”

Xu Jizhong had no interest in any Ming Sect at all, but Fang Chiyan escorted him all the way, Xu Jizhong couldn't bear to embarrass him, so he had to nod and say: "Since this is the case, I will annoy Fang Daxia to lead the way." ”

Fang Chiyan stood up: "Young Master Xu, Master Qiumu, please come with me." As he spoke, he led the two up to the second floor.

The second floor is a private room. Fang Chiyan took the two of them to the door of a private room, knocked lightly on the door knocker, and said in a low voice: "Fang Chiyan, together with Master Qiumu and Young Prince Xu, come to visit." ”

After that, he heard someone inside answer, "Please come in." ”

Fang Chiyan pushed the door into the house, followed by Qiu Mu and Xu Jizhong, and also walked in.

After entering the house, there was an eight-fan screen in front of him, and when he turned the screen, he saw three people sitting at the table, and when he saw Fang Chiyan and the others entering the house, they all stood up. Fang Chiyan said to one of them: "Sect Master, my subordinates have invited Young Prince Xu and Master Qiumu. After that, he introduced Xu Jizhong and Qiu Mu: "Young prince, master, this is Hanyang, the advocate of our sect." ”

Xu Jizhong looked at the person Fang Chiyan was referring to, and saw that this person was in his thirties, of medium stature, dressed in a water blue boy's shirt, with one eyebrow and thin eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, elegant and dignified.

Xu Jizhong made a gesture to Zhang Hanyang and said: "Sect Leader Zhang's name, I have heard of it for a long time, and I am honored to meet you today. ”

Qiu Mu also folded his hands and said to Zhang Hanyang: "I can see Sect Master Zhang in this life, and the poor monk has no regrets. ”

Zhang Hanyang hurriedly returned the salute and said, "You two don't have to be polite, please take a seat quickly." ”

After sitting down, Zhang Hanyang pointed to a purple-faced old man beside him and introduced to Xu Jizhong and Qiu Mu: "This is Bian Huaigui Bian Daxia of the Kongtong faction, and the people in the rivers and lakes call him the purple-faced King Kong." Now he has joined the religion and changed his name to the Purple Face Heavenly King, one of the guardians of the religion. ”

Xu Jizhong has been assisting his father Xu Da all the year round, and he knows very little about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and he has never heard of anyone like the purple-faced King Kong, but out of politeness, he still bowed his hand to him: "It turned out to be Bian Daxia, and I have admired him for a long time." ”
