Du did not forget to cross the river, and after taking the white lotus, he rode a horse all the way to the northwest and rushed to Xiangyang.

After a few days, they finally arrived at Xiangyang City, which had been absent for several months.

At this time, it was already the tenth and eleventh months of Jiajing, and the cold wind blowing from the northwest of Xiangyang City couldn't help but make the thinly clothed Du Buyi and the White Lotus feel a bit of a biting chill.

At this time, Du Buyi and White Lotus happened to tie up their horses in the backyard of an inn, and were ready to go back to the guest room to settle down for a while, and then go out to find out the news of Zhou Feng and Yu Yu.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them turned around, they met two big men riding two familiar horses into the backyard of the inn.

At this time, Du Buyi pointed to the two horses and whispered to the white lotus:

"Ling'er, you see that among these two horses, the white horse is Qi'er's before, and I have also ridden the black horse, which Zhu Chenmu once borrowed from me to ride!"

The White Lotus also whispered back:

"There are so many similar horses in the world, Brother Du, how can you be sure that these are these two horses?"

At this time, Du Buyi seemed to find a familiar person who also rode a horse and swaggered into the backyard of the inn, so he quickly pulled the white lotus back to the guest room.

After the two sat down at the table in the guest room and drank a cup of hot tea, Du did not forget to say to the white lotus:

"Ling'er, I think you must have a lot of questions now, right?"

The White Lotus nodded:

"There are some!"

Du did not forget to explain:

"I have confirmed that the black horse drank the white horse just now, and there is no doubt that the two horses are because their tails have been broken by seven points, and there is a Ningzi engraved next to the saddle, and the last time I rode with Qi'er, it was the same. ”

The White Lotus asked again:

"Then why did you seem so afraid to see the man who walked in from behind?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Because I know that person, I'm afraid he will recognize me, it is the person who managed the horses for Zhu Chenmu before, and it was the one who gave me and Qi'er the horses last time!"

The White Lotus couldn't help but say:

"Then Brother Yidu, if you say so, could it be that Zhu Chenmu is also here?"

Du Chu did not forget to nod:

"I guess so, so we'll go out for dinner and get back a good look at these guys!"

The White Lotus then said:

"Okay, if you don't talk about eating, I won't be hungry!"

Du didn't forget to stand up and pull the white lotus's hand:

"Then let's go out and find a place to eat first, and by the way, inquire about the whereabouts of the brothers and sisters next week, but we have to be careful, there may be many people in Xiangyang City who know us, so let's try not to be recognized." ”

The White Lotus replied:

"I understand, let's put on some makeup. ”

After a while, a middle-aged man with a beard and a bewitching ** appeared near the Drum Tower of Xiangyang City, and the two of them were obviously a couple, holding hands, walking together very intimately, these two people naturally did not forget to forget and White Lotus.

As she walked, the White Lotus said to Du Yi beside her with some complaints:

"Look...... You see you make people look like this, it's ugly to death, and those passers-by still think I'm one of those Qinglou women!"

Du did not forget to smile lightly:

"Isn't that what you want to do with your own makeup? Only if you change like this, no one will recognize you!"

The White Lotus immediately said again:

"But it's really not good!"

At this moment, a dress suddenly came to him, led by a young boy.

Du Buyi and White Lotus saw that the group of people in front of them didn't mean to give way, so the two of them prepared to hide aside to make way for this group of people.

But unexpectedly, this boy seemed to deliberately want to block the way of the two, and followed him and stood in front of the two.

Du didn't forget to look up at this boy:

"I don't know what this brother means, to get in the way of me and my wife?"

The boy didn't speak, and began to look at the white lotus.

Seeing this, Du was a little angry, so he blocked the white lotus with his hand:

"This brother, this is my wife, I want you to be respectful. ”

Brother Gongzi wanted to reach out to block Du Zhiyi's hand, but he was shocked by an internal force and took several steps back, and these people behind Brother Gongzi immediately wanted to rush over, but they were stopped by this Brother Gongzi.

After a pause, Brother Gongzi slowly walked over again and asked Du Yiyi:

"I want to buy this little lady next to you, can you make a price?"

Du Bu was about to reply, but was stopped by the white lotus next to him, only to hear the white lotus walk forward and say:

"Are you going to buy me?"

Brother Gongzi looked at the White Lotus a little stupidly, and nodded with a smile:

"Yes, little lady!"

White Lotus glanced at Brother Gongzi and smiled lightly:

"And what is your starting price?"

Brother Gongzi stretched out his hand and made a gesture:

"As long as you offer the price, it doesn't matter how much, little lady!"

The White Lotus smiled secretly, and then stretched out nine fingers at Brother Gongzi.

Brother Childe asked:

"Nine thousand taels?"

White Lotus shook her head.

Brother Childe asked again:

"Ninety thousand taels?"

White Lotus still shook her head.

At this time, Du did not forget to whisper in the ear of the white lotus:

"Ling'er, are you really going to sell yourself?"

The White Lotus also turned her head and whispered back to Du Forget:

"Even if I want to sell myself, you can't control it!"

At this time, Brother Gongzi hesitated for a moment, and asked again:

"Nine hundred thousand taels?"

White Lotus thought about it in her heart, even if this boy brother has money, he may not be able to take out 900,000 taels, so he agreed:

"Yes, do you have 900,000 taels?"

At this time, an attendant behind Brother Gongzi came over and whispered to dissuade Brother Gongzi:

"Childe, where does a woman need to spend so much silver, don't **!"

This boy pushed the attendant away, and then replied to the White Lotus:

"Nine hundred thousand taels, you said it yourself, okay, I'm out, you tell me where you live, and I'll pick you up at night!"

White Lotus was also shocked after hearing this, what is the number of 900,000 taels, it was originally a joke to scare off this son-in-law, but I didn't expect it to agree, but after thinking about it, there are countless people who say big things in this world, and this son-in-law brother is just saying a big thing, so he replied:

"Okay, I live on the second floor of the Xiangcheng Inn, and you are welcome to come and buy me at night with silver. ”

Brother Childe said with a smile:

"Okay, that little lady, you wait for me, don't miss the appointment at night!"

After saying that, he walked back with someone.

At this time, Du did not forget to ask the White Lotus:

"Aren't you afraid that this person will really take 900,000 taels of silver to buy you?"

The White Lotus replied:

"I don't think it can be taken out, so let's go and have a good meal first, don't worry about it. ”

After speaking, the two of them found a nearby Xiangyun restaurant, ordered some wine and food on the second floor and began to eat and drink.

When the two of them drank three glasses of wine, Du did not forget to ask the white lotus:

"Ling'er, why are you so good at drinking today, aren't you afraid of getting drunk?"

The White Lotus smiled at Du Yiming:

"It doesn't matter if you're drunk, it's only three glasses, isn't it with you!"

At this moment, there was a sudden loud shouting and scolding from downstairs:

"How did you open this restaurant?"

"The wine in your restaurant is too bad!"

"This wine is fake, deceitful!"

"It's not...... No...... No, a few guest officers, our restaurant is a time-honored brand, how can there be fake wine!"

............

It turned out that there were five people downstairs who were looking for the restaurant owner after eating the wine and food.

Seeing that the White Lotus heard these voices on the side, she seemed to be slowly sipping the wine with a smile, so she asked:

"Brother Du, what's wrong with you?

Du Buyi slowly put down the wine glass and said to the white lotus:

"Do you listen carefully to this voice, does it look like an acquaintance we know?"

White Lotus listened carefully and said helplessly:

"How do I know if you don't tell me? I really can't hear whose voices are these people?"

Du did not forget to recall for a moment, and then said:

"Also, I almost forgot, Ling'er, you may not really know my five brothers, if I guess correctly, the next person to quarrel with the restaurant is five strange-shaped men, they are Poyang Lake Wuyi. ”

The White Lotus immediately stood up:

"I heard Brother Du say that they are your friends, then I want to get to know them!"

Du Chu did not forget to nod:

"Then Ling'er, go ahead, I'll wait for you here!"

The White Lotus was very puzzled and looked at Du Yi, who was still sitting upright, holding a wine glass and preparing to taste wine:

"You really don't want to take me to introduce you?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"You don't need me to introduce you, just mention my name later, and they will come to me happily. ”

The White Lotus looked at Du Yi in disbelief:

"Seriously?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Of course, we can bet if you don't believe it!"

The White Lotus smiled lightly:

"I'm not going to bet on you!"

After saying that, he straightened his dress and went downstairs.

At this time, the scene downstairs is that five strange-shaped men are standing at the door of the restaurant, blocked by more than a dozen seven-foot men, and there are countless passers-by on the side of the road outside.

I only heard that one of the five people with a fat head and big ears walked up to the big man who was blocking the way of several of his people and pointed to these people:

"What do you want to do? Do you want more people to bully less?"

A middle-aged man with a long beard walked from behind no one, who should be the boss, and said to the fat-headed and big-eared man very proudly:

"If you want to leave, you have to pay for the wine and food first, otherwise don't want to take a step out of our Xiangyun Restaurant!"

A man next to him with two big bags on his head walked over and smacked the boss with a slap:

"You're so powerful, haven't you even heard of our Poyang Lake Wuyi name?"

The boss directly pointed to the man with two big bags on his head and laughed:

"Return Poyang Lake Wuyi, I think it's two packs of Poyang Lake!"

Liu Erbao was a little angry at this time, so he wanted to rush towards the boss and beat him, but was stopped by Liu Mazi beside him.

I only heard Liu Mazi whisper and persuade:

"Old Five, this is other people's territory, let's not act rashly, after all, there are many of them. ”

I only heard that the boss was very disdainful and looked at the five people again:

"You guys hurry up and pay, don't affect our Xiangyun Restaurant business, otherwise don't blame my brothers for being ruthless!"

Liu Huan saw that the situation was a little wrong, so he walked over and whispered to the boss:

"The five of us really don't have any entanglements on us now, boss, you can do it, let's go first, when we have the silver one day, we will definitely come back and pay you back in full." ”
