Chapter Seven: The First Entry into the Rivers and Lakes (3)
"Hahaha......" From time to time, there was a burst of wine and meat smell in the restaurant, and those diners talked and laughed loudly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He Xun and Ling Yan by the window also sat here for more than two hours, but the two of them still chatted with high interest. "You woke up early. As he spoke, a crisp female voice came into the ears of the two of them, and He Xun saw that it was Ling Yan's junior sister, Yan Xi, a disciple of Yunlu Academy. At this time, Yan Xi was still wearing yesterday's emerald long skirt, with a blue ribbon tightly tied around her waist. With a beautiful face, it is instantly called the existence of everyone in the restaurant who is vying to see a few times.
Ling Yan shook his head and smiled, motioning for Yan Xi to sit down.
Before Ling Yan could speak, Yan Xi grabbed a bowl on the table, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all with his head up. "Huh......" exhaled a mouthful of white air, the spirits of the north could not be drunk in Jiangnan, a bowl of spirits was in the stomach, the already slightly red face was covered with a layer of light red, his hands folded on the table, Yan Xi looked at the wine and food on the table with satisfaction.
Glancing at Yan Xi, Ling Yan shook his head with a wry smile and smiled apologetically at He Xunbao.
"My junior sister is used to being arrogant on weekdays, Brother He is not strange. “
"Where, Brother Ling's words are serious......" He Xun said.
"What are you talking about when you get up so early?" Yan Xi asked with a wink.
"I'm talking to Brother He about some interesting things in the rivers and lakes. Ling Yan said: "Brother He just wants to go out and explore the rivers and lakes......
"Wow, you also want to walk the rivers and lakes?" Yan Xi heard this, and suddenly came to his senses.
"Senior sister!" Ling Yan frowned. This is good for everything, but when you encounter something you are interested in, you will lose your courtesy.
"Don't lie to the girl, I do have some ideas, and before the two of them, someone persuaded He to go out and have a look, so ......" He Xun did not lie, it was indeed Shenjun who suggested that he go out of the forest and go to this world to see more things and contact more people, maybe ...... Maybe you'll be able to get your memories back.
Yan Xi glanced at He Xun up and down, frowning slightly. Not because of anything else, just He Xun's current outfit, old leather clothes and old leather hats, although they are quite clean, but for a girl living in the prosperous area of Jiangnan, it is still impossible to accept such a "chivalrous guest".
He Xun didn't notice the meaning in Yan Xi's eyes, but Ling Yan, who was sitting opposite, did understand it very well. Hurriedly said: "Senior sister doesn't know, Brother He is from outside the Guan, and he doesn't know anything about the things in the rivers and lakes, do you have anything to think of, junior sister?"
"Me?" Ling Yan's words successfully diverted the topic and avoided embarrassment, if he had been a little slower just now, he really couldn't tell what rude words this junior sister who was not afraid of heaven and earth would say. "I'm going to think about it......" Yan Xi tilted his head, trying to think.
"Do you know martial arts? Are you strong at martial arts? Where do you want to go?" Yan Xi didn't say, but asked a few questions together. Ling Yan held his head and shook his head with a wry smile.
He Xun didn't care. After thinking about it slightly, he said: "I know some martial arts, but I can only use some rough and shallow sword techniques." As for where to wander around...... He Xun paused before saying, "The four seas are so big, aren't you just going with me?"
"What a big breath!" When Ling Yan heard this, he was amazed in his heart, he always liked to make friends with people with lofty ideals, although this person was a fledgling, but he had great ambitions, Ling Yan nodded secretly.
"You're right! Nature from all over the world is there. Yan Xi nodded. It seems that she agrees with He Xun's words. "But this river and lake is very dangerous, if you can't protect yourself, it's better to cultivate again. “
Even Ling Yan agrees with this sentence, the things on the rivers and lakes are still strength after all.
"It's not good to fight under it, but if you want to talk about the light skills of escaping...... He Xun said with a smile.
"Hehehe......" Yan Xi was also amused this time, where did someone run away and escape.
"Brother He's words are also chic," Ling Yan said, too......
"I'm really ......" Just as He Xun wanted to explain that he was telling the truth, in his life, a person flew out of the door of the restaurant, and just fell onto the table of the diner who was eating, and a table of people was knocked to the side by the huge force, and the tables, chairs and benches were also scattered all over the ground. And the person who was thrown in was hit at this time, and fell to the ground motionless, not knowing if he still had any breath.
The sudden commotion left the entire hall stunned. Didn't understand what was going on at all.
Da da da, a sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the restaurant, and before I knew what was going on, I heard the person outside the door shouting: "Tell you the shopkeeper that his son is in the hands of our evil tiger village, let him send the price discussed before tomorrow evening to our evil tiger village, otherwise...... Hmph, he won't want to see his son again!!" The voice was so loud that everyone present could hear it clearly.
The shopkeeper of Sihailou, the largest restaurant in Jimingyi, offended the people of the Evil Tiger Cottage, and his son was kidnapped.
"Let's go!" shouted the junior as he squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the man who had been thrown into the restaurant. "Zhang Yi! It's Zhang Yi! Come and help!"
Xiao San recognized the person at once, and hurriedly beckoned people to carry the middle-aged man named Zhang Yi into the back.
Seeing that the people were carried away, the diners in the hall were silent for a few breaths, and then they all checked out and left. Compared to the situation when he came, this departure is a bit like running for his life.
After a while, in the hall of the restaurant of Nuoda, only He Xun, Ling Yan and Yan Xi were left.
The three of them looked at each other, and they all saw the same meaning in each other's eyes. Ling Yan nodded his head and took the lead in knocking on the room where the middle-aged man was carried in.
After a while, he heard a slightly tired voice from inside, and He Xun could hear that it was the voice of the restaurant shopkeeper: "Who is it?"
"Next, the disciple of Suzhou Yunlu Academy, Ling Yan, has already known what happened just now, and please come in to discuss it in detail. ”
In the room, which was originally silent, after hearing Ling Yan report the name of Yunlu Academy, he immediately felt a little restless. Chirping...... , the door opened, and it was the junior running hall.
"A few people, please come in, our shopkeeper is invited. “
Several people were led by Xiao San and walked to a bed. On the bed lay a middle-aged man named Zhang Yi who had just been carried in. And sitting next to the couch is the shopkeeper of the Sihai Building.
Seeing the arrival of several people, the shopkeeper stood up and arched his hand, and said, "I remember a few guest officers, who moved in yesterday." ”
"The shopkeeper has a good memory, and it was indeed yesterday. Ling Yan said.
"I'm really sorry, the small shop may be in great trouble, I'm afraid it won't be able to entertain the three of them. As he spoke, he sighed softly.
"Shopkeeper, if I want to leave, I have already left. Ling Yan said with a smile.
"Those three are ......," the shopkeeper said in surprise.
Ling Yan smiled slightly and said, "I am not talented in the next place, but I am also taken care of by the shopkeeper here." Isn't it chivalrous to think about the way out when they see that they are suffering? Tomorrow I will go to the evil tiger village on behalf of the shopkeeper!"
"Is this true?" The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he dimmed again, shook his head and said: "This is not appropriate, a few of them are Zhang's guests, such a dangerous thing, you must not be allowed to put yourself in danger!"
He Xun stood in the back, looking at the shopkeeper's sincere eyes, not as if he was cheating, and he had already made up his mind to help him.
Seeing that the shopkeeper shook his head and refused Ling Yan's help, the junior behind him was anxious: "Shopkeeper! We will send the money to those wicked people, and they may not let us go!"
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth, and his heart was very painful.
"Don't shirk the shopkeeper. Ling Yan clenched his fists and said, "If you can't trust me, you can find someone to go with me!"
"No, no, no, it's not that I can't believe in young heroes. The shopkeeper hurriedly explained: "It's just that the people in the evil tiger cottage have always been cruel, and I'm afraid that a few people will kill me for this matter, which makes me even more uneasy!"
Ling Yan smiled, took out a jasper waist card from his waist and handed it to the shopkeeper, saying, "The shopkeeper is too worried, I have Yunlu Academy as a bargaining chip, and this mountain bandit may not dare to touch us." With a few thin noodles to reduce some losses, the top priority is to save the young master of your family, and I hope that the shopkeeper will not hesitate anymore. ”
The shopkeeper carefully observed the jade pendant for a while, paced around the room a few times, and said, "Then there is Lao Gongzi! I told Xiao San to go and prepare the ransom immediately." I'll go with you tomorrow morning!"
"Good!"
Several people sat down at the round table, and the shopkeeper introduced the situation he knew about the Evil Tiger Village to the three of them.
He Xun returned to the room, still thinking about what might happen tomorrow.
Maybe what Ling Yan said was right, this Yunlu Academy can indeed be regarded as a major sect in the rivers and lakes, but after all, it is in the south of the Yangtze River, will the bandits in the north buy it? Even if they buy it, I am afraid that the price paid is not small, this is still a relatively good situation, if so, the worst situation is that this group of bandits receive money and are like killing people, this is the most terrible.
After thinking about it, He Xun decided to quietly discuss it with Ling Yan again.
"Da Da!" He Xun knocked on the door, Ling Yan ushered him into the house, He Xun said, "Brother Ling really plans to pay the ransom tomorrow to save the hostages?"
"Huh?" Ling Yan's heart moved, and then he looked at He Xun. Xindao, does this person also see it?
"I'm asking Brother Ling if that's really what he thinks?" He Xun repeated again.
"It turns out that Brother He is also worried about ......" Sighing lightly, Ling Yan said.
He Xun smiled and said, "It seems that Brother Ling is also worried. ”
"I'm thinking, I'll wait for the ransom to pay the ransom this time, and I will be the shopkeeper's son, and after I wait to leave, this evil tiger village will be concocted in the same way, what should I do then, even if I use the prestige of the master tomorrow to force the other party to comply, but it is hard to guarantee that I will not redouble my revenge on the shopkeeper family in the future. ”
"So I'm waiting to find a way to rescue the shopkeeper's son safely, and to make the evil tiger village no longer retaliate, and it is best to completely eliminate this evil!"
"Hmm!" Ling Yan nodded.
It's the safest way to do it, but it's easier said than done.
"He Xun has a way?" Ling Yan asked.
"There are ways, but it's not easy to ......," He Xun said with a smile.
"It's good if there's a way, I'm afraid that there's no way, Brother He, but it's okay!"
"Report to the officer!"
"Report to the official?" Ling Yan frowned, shook his head, and said, "Isn't this going to cause the shopkeeper to die?"
"Brother Ling will wait for me to finish, and then say that it is okay or not. He Xun smiled, knowing that the other party had some misunderstandings, and he was not angry, and said: "Tomorrow, Brother Ling will go to pay the ransom with the shopkeeper, and I will sneak into the cottage to cooperate with you...... And then...... , He Xun motioned for Ling Yan to come over and whispered his plan.
Ling Yan nodded slightly, thinking about the success of this plan in his heart.
It wasn't until it was completely dark that He Xun and Ling Yan finalized the specific details of the plan.
"Then I'll leave everything to Brother He!" Ling Yan stood at the door, clenching his fist at He Xun.
"The shopkeeper will let Brother Ling bother! He Xun replied with a salute.
"Good!"
Sending He Xun away, Ling Yan sat alone at the round table, looking at the porcelain cup on the table that was targeted, and there were a lot of questions in his heart. It's not because of the evil tiger village, but because of He Xun who just sent away. This is an incomprehensible person, who can see the problem thoroughly in a short period of time, and can make a detailed plan according to the situation, which is not like what ordinary people can do.
But looking at the conversation in the past few days, this person really knows very little about the world, and some things that everyone knows but don't know......
What a strange young man!
