Chapter 240 (Rumors of Strange Treasures)
Ling Xiao exchanged a few glances at the Shi family brothers, Shi Xiong nodded lightly, and wanted to get up, but Shi Ying smiled and said, "Second brother, you know that I can do this kind of thing very well."
As he spoke, Shi Ying picked up the tea bowl on the table and stood up, first looked at the two tables, and saw that these people had short necks and thin waists, big heads and thick waists, and their appearance was not half a point better than their own, and finally they set their eyes on the body of a man with a straight body and a big face next to the first table.
His eyes rolled a few times, and then walked to the table of four people, first coughed lightly to attract the attention of several people, and then arched his hand and smiled: "Everyone, you are all friends, walking the rivers and lakes are friends from all over the world, since we can meet in a small tea shed, that is the fate of the previous life, there is no wine here, in the next tea instead of wine, toast you a bowl"
After finishing the words in one breath, he drank the tea in his hand with one mouthful, and several people sitting there showed suspicious looks, only to see one person about to lift the bowl, and saw that the other three people did not make any moves, and put it down, that look was quite embarrassing.
At the same time, Shi Ying saw the big man with a beard on his face, and he also glared at the former, Shi Ying looked in his eyes and thought: "It seems that this person should be the boss of Yan."
The cheeky man glanced at Shi Ying vigilantly and said: "We don't know Your Excellency, and we have no intention of experiencing this bowl of tea, where did Your Excellency come from or where are you going?"
Shi Ying muttered in his heart: "This guy actually saw through my intentions at a glance, but..." Several thoughts flashed in his heart, but his face did not change at all and laughed loudly: "I thought we could go together, and when the time comes, we can take action to take care of each other, since you are so unappreciative, then Shi Someone didn't say anything..."
The cheeky man was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Could it be that this person is also going there..."
After Shi Ying finished speaking, instead of leaving, he leaned closer to the big man and continued: "But ask for a bowl of tea, I think you should have no opinion."
As he spoke, he didn't care whether others agreed or not, he suddenly stretched out his hand, picked up the teapot in front of the big man and threw it into the air, and at the same time put the bowl in his hand on the table, and the teapot was thrown up more than four feet.
The spout of the pot facing up was facing down when it fell, and then a column of water flowed out of the pot, which happened to be poured into the bowl on the table impartially, seeing that the tea in the bowl was about to overflow, and the teapot was about to hit the tea bowl, several people next to him almost unanimously shouted "ah", and flashed aside, and at the same time looked at Shi Ying angrily.
Just when several people were about to face Shi Ying's swords, the teapot and the tea bowl were only seven or eight inches, and Shi Ying reached out and took them.
And the four people at the table next to him were aware of the strangeness here, and they didn't leave their eyes when Shi Ying opened his mouth to talk, and at this time, they were also shocked when they saw Shi Ying's ingenious technique, and they couldn't speak.
The cheeky man kept staring at the tea bowl on the table, the reason why he didn't withdraw to dodge was not that he didn't want to, but when Shi Ying was carrying the pot, he stretched out his index finger and hit the acupoint on his back, so that he couldn't move a bit, and when Shi Ying caught the teapot, he unlocked his acupoint, and the big man was sweating in shock, and he dared not speak angrily.
Shi Ying put the teapot on the table and said with a smile: "A little trick, let you see and laugh" The few people who flashed on the side couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they knew that it was a false alarm, and at the same time their eyes were shocked when they looked at the bowl of tea that Shi Ying poured.
I saw that the tea was parallel to the bowl, not only did it not overflow for half a point, but even the teapot was thrown up and downward, and it did not spill the slightest water stain.
Cast his eyes on the big man, who knew that at this moment the other party was also staring at the tea bowl, and suddenly smiled: "Your Excellency's kung fu is very good" I don't know if he praised Shi Ying's kung fu in pouring tea, or he subdued himself unconsciously.
Shi Ying smiled: "It's just a trick, it's hard to get to the top..."The big man said: "In Xia Yanhuai, I don't know what Your Excellency is called?"
Shi Ying smiled: "What you want to call it" looked at the few people standing aside and smiled: "These friends are all sitting down and talking, what are you doing standing?"
Several people's faces turned red when they heard this, and they all thought: "I have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and today is a loss of face" but they felt that Shi Ying's words were irrefutable, so they had to sit down again.
The four of them were sitting on a bench by themselves, but Shi Ying sat down next to Yan Huai, put his right leg up on the stool, took a sip of tea, and said, "I don't know what I just proposed, how does Brother Yan feel?"
Yan Huai's heart moved, and then he smiled: "That's the best..." The"
Yan Huai said: "You haven't seen this benevolent brother's kung fu, if you can go with us, you will be more sure about that matter, after all, the people who know this news are not just me and Wu Laosan."
Shi Ying said: "What makes me curious is that people like you who are mediocre in martial arts also want to get involved in this matter, do you think that a large number of people can solve everything" As soon as the words fell, I heard a "pop" sound on the table next to me.
It turned out to be the sound of a man in a dark gray shirt slapping his hand on the table, and he shouted at the moment: "Who are you, dare to judge us" As he spoke, he was about to draw his sword, and without waiting for Shi Ying to make any moves, Yan Huai shouted: "Wu Laosan, are you drunk with tea, sit down..."
Wu Laosan saw that Yan Huai's expression was a little nervous, he had never seen his face so ugly, and realized that something was wrong, so he snorted coldly and sat down.
Yan Huai smiled and said to Shi Ying: "What Brother Tai said is not bad, and we still have a little self-knowledge of our own skills, but this temptation is really huge for us, even if we can't get a tenth of it, but if we can get a piece of the pie, we can't enjoy it enough..."
Shi Ying said: "This is not bad, but I heard that there are not a few people who went this time, so they are not afraid of losing their lives..."
Yan Huai looked embarrassed and said, "This... As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger, this opportunity is rare in a thousand years, and it's good to see it, but if the benevolent brother can help one or two, then a few of our brothers will..."
How could Shi Ying know what Yan Huai said in his mouth, but after this set of words, he also understood that his purpose had been achieved, and he was reluctant to talk more, so he waved his hand and said: "I also have companions to go with me, so I won't go with you, since I drank this tea and met in that place, I can't say that I can cooperate with one or two."
Yan Huai had already noticed Ling Xiao and the others, and when he saw Tang Xin, he recalled that he had met on the road, although his martial arts were mediocre, but he was a person who had been running the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he had a bit of eyesight, listening to Shi Ying's words, he knew that he had been teased, his face sank but it was not good, he drank the tea in his hand to the sky, and followed Shi Ying's words and hugged his fists and said: "That's the case, then we will meet in Jiading, and there will be a period later, farewell..."
After speaking, he took out a few copper coins, got up and left, and the rest of the people also drank the tea in their hands, picked up their bags, and rushed to Shi Ying with a fist and went with Yan Huai.
I saw them turn over and get on their horses, and heard a few "snap" whips, and the sound of horses' hooves started, kicking up puffs of dust and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Shi Ying returned to his original position, and Shi Gang smiled: "It seems that you have improved a lot, if you change to before, this will not be your style."
Shi Ying said with a smile: "Boss, we are Ling Gongzi who swears to be good and talented, and we don't need to prove it with actual actions, it's not just empty words."
Tang Xin said disdainfully: "Carving insect skills, I'm embarrassed to show off" Although Shi Ying was robbed of a sentence by him, he was not annoyed, and turned to Ling Xiao and said: "Childe, according to my analysis, they seem to be looking for some kind of treasure" Seeing that Ling Xiao was silent, Shi Gang answered: "Baby, what treasures can there be, gold, silver, jewelry, or martial arts cheats..."
Ling Xiao suddenly turned his head and beckoned to the old man who was cleaning up the tea bowl behind him: "Uncle, ask you something?"
The old man has dark skin, wrinkled face, and may not be very old, but he should be a little older when he has been doing physical work for a long time, he is five feet tall and a little hunchbacked, only wearing white cloth and shoulders, and his clothes seem to be some years old, and they have been yellowed, the old man listened to the guest's question, and came to Ling Xiao with a smile and replied: "Hey, guest officer, don't be polite, if you want to inquire about something, just say it..."
Ling Xiao saw that the old man was very simple and smiled: "The people who have come here to rest and drink tea recently, do you know who they are?"
The old man scratched his head first, and then suddenly realized, patted his head and said: "Don't say it, guest officer, my wife is not in good health, and I can't earn a copper plate in this broken tea shed on weekdays, so I have to tear it down, who knows..."
The more the old man spoke, the happier he became, and when he said this, he was full of smiles and only listened to his continued: "In the past four or five days, there have been more and more people who have come to rest here, and sometimes the guest officer has given a few more copper plates or even a few taels of silver when he is happy..."
Ling Xiao saw that the old man's chatter was endless, but he didn't go to the topic, and he looked unfinished, he raised his voice a little, interrupted the old man's words and asked, "Boss, what kind of people are you who come to drink tea recently, do you know?"
The old man said: "This look is no different from those guest officers just now" and looked at Ling Xiao and the others a few times and said: "It is also very similar to your dress, it looks like they are all people on the runway, and they are all in the wind and fire" After speaking, he sighed and said: "We farmers and you big people can't compare."
Ling Xiao took out a tael of broken silver from his arms, threw it to the old man and said, "Thank you, uncle, this is tea money, you don't need to look for it..."
Shi Gang asked: "Childe, it seems that those people have the same purpose, do you think we should we..."
Ling Xiao muttered to himself in his heart: "Jiading is the hinterland of Shuzhong, and the Emei faction is located here, so it is not to attract high-rollers from all walks of life to go here, is it related to the Emei faction or with the Dongying people..."
Remembering the word "Dongying people" and muttering for a while, he finally made a decision and said: "It seems that this trip to the muddy water, we also have to drip."
The three brothers of the Shi family all smiled and said: "That's what I mean" Tang Xin glanced at the three of them and said: "I think the three of you are old and have made another mistake."
Shi Ying said with a smile: "Look at what the girl said, let's just go and see the excitement..." Ling Xiao had already made up his mind, and he didn't stay anymore, and a few people turned over and walked away, going straight to the realm of Sichuan and Shu.
