Chapter 31: Deception (1)
As mentioned last time, Xuan Shuang was humiliated by Yinxue Palace, hated Jiang Yanchen to the core, and vowed to take his life. But unlike his mother Shen Shiyun, he can't look down on a trick of borrowing a knife to kill people. Therefore, he would rather put aside his prejudice against Li Yijie and pestered his master to learn martial arts. However, after more than a month, he hated this basic teaching, and without anyone else's words, he knew that even if he could tie up the horse for a day and a night, he would not be able to clean up the seven demons. All the hard work afterwards did not bear fruit.
And Jiang Yanchen was becoming more and more arrogant, openly provoking the Qing court, and the situation had really reached the "last resort" that he had mentioned to Shangguan Yaohua before. Only then did the soldiers make dangerous moves, fighting for their own reputation, but still worshipping the number one enemy as a teacher, learning how to kill him, and at the same time, there was a chance to get along from time to time, and it was also convenient to find out his weaknesses. People are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, but I don't believe that he is really invulnerable.
With a clever tongue and a lot of changes, he even said that this evil demon was also moved, and promised to apprentice to the teacher, but he was not allowed to mention it to others for the time being. This statement is exactly the meaning of Xuanshuang, and he is full of promises. Later, the more the two talked, the more speculative they felt, and when they saw it at first sight, Xuanshuang proposed to go to a tavern in the corner of the city to drink. Jiang Yanchen was indispensable, but he also wanted to talk more to this newly recruited apprentice, so he also went with him.
The two came to the tavern not far away, Xuan Shuang suddenly remembered something, and said: "Master, do we need to modify it?" You have done too many big 'things' in the past few days, and Huang Ama has already been angry, and he has increased the power of the search, but I am afraid-" I wanted to say it more vaguely, Jiang Yanchen was proud of his identity, but he didn't want to hide his head and tail, and snorted coldly: "I can't do it." Who are you afraid of?"
Xuan Shuang wanted to cry without tears, and said to himself: "Of course you don't have to be afraid of those fast catchers, they are afraid of you? I am also afraid that you, the devil, will be fierce again and dig out their hearts on the spot." That scene is not for people to see. ”
As soon as he remembered the several corpses that had stopped at Prince Fu's mansion last time, his throat swelled violently, and he faintly felt vomiting. sighed, knowing that it was the stimulus that had been taken too hard, and it almost confused his consciousness. While following behind him in a sneer, he secretly prayed: "Everyone, big brother, my emperor Amma's words are not necessary to listen. Wouldn't it be much more interesting to bother you to be lazy, and to find a place to roll the dice and drink a little wine, than to hunt down this devil?"
As soon as he thought of "drinking a little wine", and then saw that the place in front of him was a tavern, there was a "buzz" sound in his head, he raised his hand and slapped it lightly on his mouth, and muttered: "You dare to boast in front of people? I can only pray for a quick catch and a lot of money, and find some large-scale restaurants to eat and drink.
As soon as the two of them entered the hall and sat down, they attracted the attention of the guys serving tea and pouring water on the side, and stared at them for a long time. In the end, I couldn't tell if there was a bottom or not, so I ran to find the shopkeeper first, and whispered the guess.
The shopkeeper was fat and fat, and was settling accounts on the counter, a few stubby fingers flicking clumsily on the abacus. Listening to his whispering, his face, which had been swollen to the color of pig liver, turned white, and he also poked his head out to take a look, and the guy was even more gesturing with excitement. The shopkeeper pondered for a while, and also whispered a few words. The fellow listened and nodded, as if he had received an order, and slipped out of the side door while the two were not paying attention.
The shopkeeper took a deep breath, took the tea from the corner of the table and moistened his throat, raised his hand to caress his chest, and calmed down his manic heartbeat. Then he took the drink list and walked over tremblingly. Standing in front of the table, he asked, "Two guest officers, what are the points...... What's the point?"
Xuan Shuang had already pretended to be a rough man in front of a group of dead soldiers. This is the second time, and it is the shopkeeper of a small tavern who is dealing with it, and he is naturally more handy without the slightest concern. Raised his hand and slapped it on the table, put down a silver ingot, and said in a rough voice: "Nonsense! What kind of business are you doing? Coming to the tavern is naturally to drink, is it possible to take a bath?"
The shopkeeper said, "Yes...... Yes, yes......" Although he tried his best to hide it, his calves and stomachs were cramping, and his arms were shaking uncontrollably.
Xuan Shuang and Jiang Yanchen are not very old, but they are both shrewd, and that scheming is afraid that even many old rivers and lakes who have been wandering for most of their lives will sigh to themselves, and naturally see the strangeness of this shopkeeper. It's just that Jiang Yanchen ignored it, Xuanshuang was still young, especially vain, and deliberately showed his eyesight, so he asked first: "What's the matter, what are you shaking? Are you uncomfortable?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "No, no...... The small shop is located in a remote area, the door is simple, and there are few customers in normal times. The villain has never seen much of the world, and he ...... for a while I was dumbfounded for a moment. Xuan Shuang said: "Oh, this is a small profit, you have never seen silver?" The shopkeeper said: "It's not that I haven't seen that much money, but ...... But I haven't seen anything like the two of them...... Such...... Such a generous guest officer. He originally wanted to do something "like this", and then hastily added the "big deal" statement.
Xuan Shuang said: "What's wrong with us? I took out this silver to play, and I didn't give it to you, do you want such a big silver ingot to drink in your small shop?"
The shopkeeper smiled dryly: "The little one is to see that the two of them are dressed extraordinarily and have luxurious clothes, and they will be ......generous if they want to make a move." Xuanshuang slapped it on the table, shook the silver ingot, stretched out his finger and pointed, about to poke him in the face, and said loudly: "This is a bad word! Then the master has to teach you well." Now he wears gold and silver, but he is still a small ghost who does not pull out a dime, and there are many people who are ......"
Just as he wanted to explain it in detail, Jiang Yanchen was impatient for a long time, and said coldly: "Where did you get all this nonsense? I kept a sick seedling in front of me, and I was upset when I saw it, so I hurriedly called for wine and food and sent him away." ”
Although Xuan Shuang was supporting the scene, the shopkeeper was really afraid of Jiang Yanchen, who had been quietly staring at him just now, and as soon as he said these words, it seemed that the climate in the store had instantly become a cold winter wax moon, and the killing intent was pressing. and made eye contact with him coldly, and was even more frightened, his feet were paralyzed, and he almost sat on the ground.
Xuan Shuang sighed: "Why bother!" got up in time to support him, took the wine list by the way, and casually showed it, glancing from top to bottom. He drank very well, but he didn't like to drink, and he didn't pay attention to which signboard it was, so he asked Jiang Yanchen directly: "Master, what kind of wine do you want?" He turned to the shopkeeper and explained, "I'm sorry, this is my master." He recently learned that he was terminally ill and had a short life, so his temper will inevitably be bigger, and please bear with me. ”
Jiang Yanchen turned half of his gaze, glanced at him, and saw that he was serious, which was really angry and funny. This little ghost is very good at pretending, just now he said those reasons, the head is the way, and I don't know how many words are like this to coax himself. But he has an indifferent personality, and he has no intention of exposing it to more than less. said lightly: "Even if the family has money, there is no need to show it off in front of me." ”
Xuan Shuang smiled: "Master, this sentence is not right. How can it be said that the apprentice is filial piety to the master, and it is justified. Jiang Yanchen said: "The account is paid by you, and you should choose." Ask me what I'm doing?"
Xuanshuang turned to the shopkeeper again and said, "I see that your tavern, although it is in a prosperous place in the capital, I am afraid that it will not be able to produce any world-famous wine." But for my master, I can't be too shabby. So let's take the most expensive wine you have here, and we don't drink cheap wine. Remember to serve this master well. The shopkeeper's luck was finally expected to get out, and he hurriedly said, "Yes...... Be...... Please wait. As he spoke, he hurriedly turned his head and left as if he were running for his life.
Xuan Shuang opened one palm, fanned the wind on his forehead, and sighed: "It seems that I was born to be a cultured person, and I am so tired that I am half dead by pretending to be a rough person for a while." Jiang Yanchen snorted coldly: "Who told you to pretend to be?" Xuan Shuang said: "You don't know this, I am famous, people know that Ling Xiaoye is a good child who follows the rules, I intend to do the opposite, and people will not suspect this." ”
Jiang Yanchen said: "What is the 'future prince'? Do you think that you are very popular with the people, and as soon as you leave the palace, there will be people vying for it?" Xuan Shuang said: "That's not it, the disciple is a good boy and has self-knowledge." But I'm with you now, and you're famous for both black and white...... Lord Seven Evil Saints, I don't want to damage your prestige because of myself?"
Jiang Yanchen said disdainfully: "What's the matter? Everyone knows the name of this seat in the rivers and lakes, and it is not surprising that these people have heard of it, who knows my style of acting? I also need to deliberately falsify? You think that sick man talks too much, and he will slaughter it later." ”
Xuan Shuang said: "Look, this is it. People have at least heard of the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Seven Evil Saint Monarchs, and if they offend them a little, they will lose their lives. Also, when did I say that I thought he talked too much? He may not be able to see anything, but you have a big temper and people are honest, so you are scared, which is normal. ”
Jiang Yanchen said: "When I don't know, damn old thing, what do you keep staring at me?" Xuan Shuang smiled and said: "Because you are good-looking, men and women kill each other, attract bees and butterflies, okay? I advised you to change your appearance, but you didn't listen." I couldn't help but laugh myself.
As he spoke, the shopkeeper had already brought wine and said, "Two guest officers, please use it slowly." Jiang Yanchen's eyes quickly swept over him, and the shopkeeper was so frightened that he didn't know what he was still rubbing in, and hurriedly retreated.
Xuan Shuang said: "Look, it's really a small profit, Xiao Er doesn't know where to hide and be lazy, and the shopkeeper has to go into battle to greet him in person." He smiled and said, "Master, the first time the apprentice invited you to drink, it was in such a poor sour tavern, don't you mind." It's not that you don't honor you, but you just don't want to show the palace guards a trace. ”
Jiang Yanchen said: "What do you explain? I never pay attention to these false pomp and circumstance. Xuan Shuang said: "No, no, you should pay attention to it! You are a person with great status, you are the supreme in the world, and all enjoyment should be the best in the world." If you eat and drink a little bit of food and drink every day, how can you reflect your noble status? Then it is better to be a thug who has food and drink, or the boss of a ruffian, and still have a group of younger brothers by your side to serve you. At that time, all the thugs can also call themselves the supreme in the world at will, isn't that a mess?"
Jiang Yanchen smiled coldly and said, "Boy, you turn fast." Just now you scolded me for daydreaming, and now you are flattering me with a 'supreme in the world'?"
Xuan Shuang said: "No, I'm not seeing the wind and making the rudder. It's just that I'm a person who pays special attention to respecting teachers, and now that you are my master, I have to respect you! To put it another way, if the Master has done a bad deed, the disciple should call it a good deed, and if the Master has done a good deed, the disciple should call it a holy deed. Master said that the sky is green, even if the disciple raises his eyes and sees the blue sky and white clouds, he has to admit it: How can the sky not be green? When someone else asks questions, you have to reason with that person, either kill him, or coerce him to say, 'The sky is green!' In short, everything is subject to Master, and in this world, everyone else is an animal, and only Master is a real person. ”
