Chapter 23: A Year Away
"Why did this strong man say this?" Looking at the middle-aged man who spoke up, Tang Fei knew the answer very well in his heart, but he was just waiting for him to say.
"Hmph!" the strong man drank the wine from his lips and put it down heavily, opening his mouth full of beards around the edges. His eyes didn't look at Tang Fei, and turned to the place where the scholar had fled.
"You poor and sour talents who have no spiritual roots to reach the sky and no courage to open up fields, by reading three or two sage books, you are arrogant and look down on us laymen. ”
Then he pointed to the door and said, "The down-and-out scholar just now, I also persuaded him, but he can't go there." As a result, this person was full of 'good words', and even said that we were vulgar, and I didn't know that the scholar pursued Yunyun and deserved to be beaten. ”
This type of scholar can be said to be a problem left over from history. Since the promulgation of the Martial Codex, it is now rare to see young people like them who are dedicated to sage books.
"All immortals are laity. Tang Fei first expressed his political attitude.
"It's hard to achieve something like this scholar's mind," Tang Fei paused, saw the big man nodding slightly, and then said, "However, the strong man treats me like that person, but he misunderstood." ”
"I, Tang Fei, came from the Northern Boundary Mountain, and entered the great world under the mountain. Before leaving, the master gave me a lot of external things, and I think I should have a lot of wealth in your mouth. ”
Immediately, Tang Fei discharged two gold ingots on the man's table.
"Don't expose your wealth, little brother put it away quickly. Seeing this, the strong man put away the gold nuggets and hurriedly put them on Tang Fei's body.
Tang Fei felt that this thing had returned to his body through human hands, and it was a little lighter. But he doesn't care too much, anyway, his is fake.
The world is declining, and morality is declining, probably this is the scene.
Could it be that it is really as some scholars of ancient studies have said, because the qi is off the ground and the world is filthy? Tang Fei felt that this kind of thinking was really a bit irresponsible.
Seeing that the hostess's eyes lit up, Tang Fei asked again: "Actually, what I want to go to is the third layer, I don't know what to see." ”
When the entertainer saw this gold ingot, he already regarded Tang Fei as a big customer in his heart. Seeing that the other guests had been arranged for the other guests to go up, the scholar he had just arranged was still beaten out, and now he just wanted to hurry up and invite Tang Fei upstairs.
"Come on, come on, let's go up to the second floor first, we have to entertain Mr. Tang!" So he warmly invited Tang Fei to the second floor.
On the second floor, compared to the modest decoration on the first floor, it is much more magnificent.
The seats are separated by gauze, creating a small world of its own. Depending on the location and size, there are different price points. Tang Fei chose a place near the river, and the fee was several silvers higher.
"So, I can't go up to the third floor that this noble person can climb?" Tang Fei said to the receptionist.
"Master, this is not Xiao Li, I can call the shots with a small hospitality. Our branches have to follow the rules of the main store, one is rich, two are expensive, and that's the reason. ”
"Okay, you go down. Tang Fei gave up the idea of going up, and it was just a whim anyway.
Waiting for the wine and food to come, Tang Fei picked up the newspaper on the side.
Due to the technical limitations of the times, the production of these newspapers is not large, and they are basically only distributed to service places such as inns, and of course this money is generally counted on the heads of guests.
The newspaper is not updated quickly, and it does not even have a large newspaper wall at the entrance of the local government, or "To Newspaper", which is time-sensitive.
However, the rest of the newspapers are full of variety, and usually the "Bulletin" only has the official tone of the decree or a few major events, and they can talk about everything - only relatively, of course.
"It seems to be a bit of luck this time, it just happens to be the latest. "Usually old newspapers are folded and new ones are put on the other side. Tang Fei saw that the top of the new one was still smooth and smooth, and knew that it should be the latest.
This is a "Jiang Bao".
But after looking at the time, his face couldn't help but become strange.
"Eight thousand five hundred years of the calendar, September 9 of the thirty-second year of Wude. ”
In other words, I've been in a coma at that fairy's place for a year?!
As a result, a common-sense judgment was instantly subverted, and Tang Fei slowly felt the taste.
"I don't know how old my soul has been in that 'abyss', and since I was reborn, the changes in this world have been much greater than I imagined. ”
According to the current situation, Tang Tinghe estimated that it should be a god, not an immortal.
"They cut off the access to heaven and earth, and we even added layers of seals and used Shenzhou to set up formations. But after all, all this is still not worth the years?"
Stunned for a while, sad and joyful is indescribable.
Letting go of his feelings, Tang Fei picked up the "Jiang Bao" in his hand and read it carefully.
Occupying a large space is that Taizhou has officially come out of the shadow of the famine year this year, and it can pay tribute to Middle Earth again.
At the official level, the state taxes that cannot be collected in Middle-earth will be said to be due to objective reasons such as natural and man-made disasters, so they are mercifully exempted from paying taxes.
The return to paying taxes means that Middle-earth has regained control of that region, or at least some kind of deal has been struck.
The following one reads, another great demon that has not been seen for a thousand years, the Nine Wind Bird, flapped its wings in the thousands of mountains in the south of Puzhou and the wind rose, destroying dozens of villages in a row, and there has been no trace since then.
At present, the spokesman of the Wandao Immortal Alliance said that they were already exhausted, and they wanted the empire to send troops to encircle and suppress themselves, and not to continue to consume themselves in this demonic and chaotic world.
The Imperial side said that they had also ordered the rebellion a long time ago, but the magistrate was slow to do so.
And the magistrate, of course, is another rhetoric.
"It's a troubled time, and everything really has come out. ”
Someone on the side said loudly, maybe he was reading the same newspaper as Tang Fei.
Then the voice faded.
At this time, the dishes came up, the wine was full, Tang Fei was about to move the dishes and chopsticks to start eating, and a feeling of palpitations arose.
..........................................
At this time, the sun was setting on the western mountain, and the withered grass at the gate of the city was swept away by the cold wind, scattered into the distance.
Under the remnant sun, a figure appeared.
The upper body is a small single coat, the lower body is slim and the pants are slim, the footsteps are solid, and the blade behind him is hidden in the sheath.
The look in his eyes is dim, indifferent and not like a person, the face of the Quartet, the shaved stubble, and the raised eyebrows, he is really a bad guest.
Seeing the middle-aged man slowly approaching, the momentum was overwhelming, and the guards outside the door were frightened, and they didn't dare to ask, so they avoided it. There are even more people who run to inform the barracks and hurry up.
When the man saw them fleeing in all directions, he did not stop them, but at last he stepped in the door.
A gust of chaotic wind struck, with a faint killing intent, and those who had learned a little of the exercises and had a sensitive sense could feel it.
And Tang Fei is one of them.
And this palpitation shows that his target is in this inn, and even Tang Fei.
