Chapter 340: Champion Pavilion

Du Ge was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "That's right, that's right, it's to have such ambitions." Although this opportunity is not very big, there is always a slight chance to surpass them and become the first person of the younger generation. ”

"The first person?" Huang Xiao thought silently in his heart, he couldn't think about this now, but he could still surpass Murong Xing and the others.

Seeing that Huang Xiao was a little distracted, Du Ge asked: "Although the opportunity is small, but step by step, even if you can't surpass them in the end, then you can occupy a place in the rivers and lakes." ”

Huang Xiao was a little speechless, Du Ge thought that he was hit by his words, but he hurriedly comforted himself again.

"The first person of the younger generation, I don't dare to hope for it now, but I think it is absolutely no problem to surpass Murong Xing. Huang Xiao smiled.

"You kid is crazy enough, but you also have crazy capital, gone, it's too late, there is no good position. Du Ge shook his head slightly and said with a smile.

After seeing the two leave, the catchers on the side couldn't help but talk about each other.

"Is that the alternate arrest for Yang Keqing abolished?" one asked.

"Yes, it's him, I was there just now, I saw it with my own eyes, and in the end, he was even with Lord Murong, it's too powerful. ”

"It's all demons, I have such skills at a young age, when I was so young as them, I was a second-rate realm, right? Alas~~ It can't be compared. ”

"Haha, do you still want to compare with them? Lord Murong is a genius of the Murong family, and this alternate catcher is fast Huang~~ Oh, I'm afraid I have to change my name to Lord Huang, and Lord Huang's background must not be small. ”

"It's a child of the 'Poison God Valley', can you be small?"

"That is, otherwise how dare you argue with Lord Murong?"

......

Huang Xiao and Du Ge didn't hear these words, but even if they did. They won't bother either.

A quarter of an hour later, Huang Xiao and Du Ge were standing at the door of a restaurant.

Huang Xiao glanced at it and read: "Zhuangyuan Pavilion?

"You can't underestimate this restaurant. Many champions of the dynasty stayed here and had dinner. The name 'Zhuangyuan Pavilion' is also well deserved. Du Ge said with some emotion.

"The owner of the restaurant has made a lot of money, right?" asked Huang Xiao.

"Naturally, it's a good business. Whether it is a dignitary or a prince or a general, many people like to come here to feast on guests and friends. Of course, there are many people who go to Beijing to take the exam, and those who have a little property at home are all trying to come here for one night. In order to be the champion and the first. Du Ge smiled, "Do you know how much it costs to stay here for a night?"

"How much?" Huang Xiao asked with some curiosity.

Du Ge stretched out his right hand, opened his five fingers and shook it in front of Huang Xiao.

"Five hundred taels?" Huang Xiao asked, but seeing that Du Ge's face was a little wrong, he hurriedly changed his words, "It shouldn't be five thousand taels, right?"

"Do you think everyone is your 'Poison God Valley'? The silver I have worked hard to save in the past two years is only tens of thousands of taels, and as soon as you open your mouth, it is five thousand taels?" Du Ge said a little speechlessly, "Fifty taels!"

"Oh, it's still the 'Six Doors' inn that's more expensive. Huang Xiao smiled a little embarrassedly. Thinking that he paid a hundred taels for the room last night.

"Can you compare?" said Du Ge, "Those who go to the 'Six Doors' inn have other purposes, so naturally they don't care about the mere hundred taels of silver." Even if it's fifty taels. That's most of the average family's expenses for half a year. Generally, candidates who enter Beijing to take the exam can not afford to live, that is, those who have money can get the opportunity. Also, the rooms are limited, and the price may be a little higher. ”

"Alas. Yes, fifty taels!" Huang Xiao couldn't help but think of two years ago, that time. I'm penniless.

"Let's go inside!" said Du Ge with a smile.

When the two walked into the restaurant, a little second greeted them.

Huang Xiao took a look at the environment of this restaurant, and there was indeed something special. On the pillars here, there are a lot of calligraphy and paintings on the walls, couplets, and a lot of celebrities on them. It can be said that it is in line with the literary atmosphere of the 'Champion Pavilion'.

"What? The regular private rooms are gone?" asked Du Ge.

"This guest officer, it's really gone, and now the private rooms are all full. There are still vacant seats in the hall on the second floor, I don't know the two guest officers?" said Xiao Er.

"Then the hall on the second floor, right?" Huang Xiao asked Du Gedao.

"Forget it, forget it, it's on the second floor. I was looking for a quiet place, but the hall on the second floor was a little noisy. "If there is no private room, there is naturally no way, and Du Ge will not make it difficult for the little two in this store.

Seeing that the two guest officers were still good at talking, Xiao Er breathed a sigh of relief. Those who came here have some backgrounds, so he naturally can't afford to offend a shopkeeper. Overall, though, the people who come here follow the rules of the place. After all, it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and a random person may be the son of an adult, or the son of a waiting father, so everyone generally will not have nothing to do.

"Two guest officers, this place is very bright by the window, and it is separated from the people in the middle of the hall, which is a rare and good position in the hall. The shopkeeper politely led the two to an empty table by the window and said.

"That's it!" Huang Xiao nodded, and then sat down facing Du Ge.

"Brother Huang, what do you want to eat?" Du Ge asked.

"Naturally, it's Brother Du who is in charge, I'm very unfamiliar here, and I don't know what is delicious and what characteristics are there. Huang Xiao smiled.

Du Ge nodded, but he didn't shirk, and then ordered more than a dozen dishes in one go.

"Guest officer, the two of you?" Although the shopkeeper wrote down the dishes ordered by Du Ge, he still reminded him.

"What, I'm afraid we won't be able to pay the money?" Du Ge said with a sinking face.

"No~~ No, guest officer, are you two ordering a little too much?" said the shopkeeper still stubbornly.

"Huh, when your restaurant is open for business, don't you still think that customers order more wine and food?" Huang Xiao asked with some surprise.

"It's not too much, but our restaurant focuses on reputation, not for slaughter. If it is just two guest officers dining, the fifteen dishes just now are indeed a bit much, as a restaurant, we must remind you first. Of course, if the two guest officers insisted, then they would naturally do so. The shopkeeper said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Interesting. Interesting. Huang Xiao smiled slightly, "That's it, let's finish eating." "As two martial arts masters, they can not eat or drink for more than half a month without any problems, and naturally they can eat more than ordinary people.

Seeing Huang Xiao's insistence, the shopkeeper didn't say much, nodded and said, "Two guest officers, what kind of wine do you want?"

"Don't talk nonsense, your best century-old good 'daughter red' altar. Du Ge said.

"One~~ One altar?!" Xiao Er was stunned, and then asked in a trembling voice.

"Yes. A jar, not a pot. Hurry up!" Du Ge said, slapping the table.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The shopkeeper didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly ran downstairs.

"Hundred-year-old 'daughter red', I'm afraid it's not cheap, right?" asked Huang Xiao.

"Of course it's not cheap, three hundred taels a jar. Du Ge smiled, "Although I also ordered the most expensive of the fifteen dishes, they only add up to fifty taels." ”

"Looks like this wine is good. Huang Xiao said.

"Naturally, it's good, they usually sell pots, 10 taels of silver for a pot. Arguably, the most expensive here. The most distinctive thing is this century-old 'daughter red'. Looking at the entire Kaifeng City, what can be better than this wine is probably the imperial wine in the palace. Du Ge smiled, "Usually I come here to order a pot or two." Don't dare to shout an altar, now that Brother Huang is here, I'm not welcome. ”

After a while, the food and drinks were served one after another. The hundred-year-old 'daughter red' naturally came up.

"How's it going?" Du Ge asked after seeing Huang Xiao take a sip.

"Seems good. Huang Xiao smiled.

"What do you mean that it seems to be good?" Du Ge glared at Huang Xiao and said, he was obviously very dissatisfied with Huang Xiao's evaluation.

"I don't have much research on wine. But. I also know that this wine is good, after all, it is so expensive, it must be worth the money. Huang Xiao said.

"Alas~~ It's a pity to meet someone who doesn't know how to drink with such a beautiful wine, it's a pity. Du Ge shook his head and said regretfully.

"Don't be a pity, you know wine, so drink more. However, I would like to ask, what do you know about your skills now?" asked Huang Xiao.

Du Ge put down his wine glass, with a solemn expression on his face, thought for a while, sighed and said, "I saw the fight between you and Yang Quan just now, which touched my heart a lot. With Yang Quan's skill, I may not be able to defeat him, but he shouldn't be able to defeat me either. ”

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Huang Xiao said, raising his glass.

"Haha~~ Thank you Brother Huang for your guidance, otherwise I have always thought that my skills are insufficient, and I think that Keqing is unfathomable, but I didn't expect that unconsciously, my strength has also improved so much. As Brother Huang said, I was indeed a little unconfident before. The next time I take the special catch assessment, I will apply for the assessment. Du Ge said.

"Well, with your skills, there is no problem with the guò special level catch, and maybe there is no problem with the guò Keqing assessment. Huang Xiao said.

However, Du Ge shook his head and said: "It's not that simple, the assessment of Keqing not only has to be recommended, but also has to go through the assessment of Keqing." The guest who was assessed was not Yang Quan's strength. Yang Quan's strength is considered weak among Keqing, and it is generally at least like Murong Xing's strength. If the guest secretary who assessed me let me go, then I might be able to pass Guò, but if he was stricter, I would definitely not be able to pass. Instead of that, I'd better go through the guò special catch first, and wait until my skills improve a little more, and then it's not too late to go. ”

Regarding Du Ge's choice, Huang Xiao didn't want to interfere too much. After all, Du Ge's concerns are also justified. Although it is said that the power of the special level of catching fast is almost close to that of Keqing, it is still a little different from Keqing. Generally speaking, this special catcher still has to accept the assignment of the 'six doors', and the guest secretary has a greater choice, they can choose not to accept it. Therefore, with Du Ge's current skills, there is absolutely no problem in wanting to pass the assessment of Guò Special Catch Fast, after all, the strongest judge of the assessment is Yang Quan's strength.

"What a fragrant wine, hey, Brother Huang?" At this time, a figure walked up from downstairs to the second floor, and when he appeared at the staircase, he quickly turned his head to look at Huang Xiao's table. (To be continued......)
