Chapter Eighty-Four: A Flash of Surprise

The two young men led their horses and laughed all the way into the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Seeing that there was a very magnificent restaurant in front of him, Han Bing suddenly turned his head to look at Song Qingfeng, who was walking with a slight limp, and said teasingly: "With Brother Song's legs and feet, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the restaurant." ”

Song Qingfeng replied unequivocally: "Not only can I go to the restaurant, but I can also drink spirits!"

"Spirits?" sneered.

Song Qingfeng looked at him very seriously, "Don't you believe it, spirits are the best medicine to heal injuries and relieve pain!"

Seeing that he looked serious, Han Bing couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, and suddenly had a bad idea.

"It's a pity that I can't find any decent spirits in this Jingyang City, but there are two jars of good wine, Brother Song would like to go with me to taste it?"

Song Qingfeng immediately nodded and said, "Since there is good wine, I want to taste it." Whether it's stealing or robbing, I'll go with you!"

Han Bing just smiled slyly, "If I could steal or rob, I would have already done it, where would I need to get involved with Brother Song?"

"Since you don't steal or rob, what are you doing with me?!" Song Qingfeng asked with a sneer.

"The secret of heaven must not be revealed! It's just that if Brother Song really wants to drink these two jars of good wine today, he will have to listen to me for everything. The most important thing is to remember what I said, 'In life, you don't talk about embarrassment, let alone misfortune.'" We must not mention such trivial things as the beatings, and we must not say a word about such nonsense as 'liquor is the best medicine for healing and relieving pain'!"

Looking at the treacherous look on the face of this kid Han Bing, Song Qingfeng could only sigh secretly, "I was careless in making friends", and then nodded helplessly.

Passing through a bustling street market, Song Qingfeng followed Han Bing to the door of a theater garden, and after handing over the horse to the caretaker outside, the two walked into the theater.

At this hour, before the gong and singing in the opera garden, Han Bing took Song Qingfeng directly into the backstage of the house, and then the two walked through the backstage, went out through the back door, and then passed through a narrow alley, and finally entered an extremely spacious courtyard.

"Brother Ice, Brother Ice......"

A few children who were playing in the courtyard saw Han Bing walking in front of them, and rushed over, each with an excited smile on their faces, surrounding Han Bing.

Han Bing took out a delicate small red wooden box from his arms, shook it in his hand, and said to the children with a smile: "Guess what's inside?"

"Jelly Beans!"

"Delicious jelly beans!"

"Sister Cui'er's jelly beans!"

The children clapped their hands and chirped, and their faces were full of impatience.

Han Bing couldn't laugh anymore, rolled his eyes and said, "You all guessed wrong! There is nothing in this, and there is no Jelly Bean from Sister Cui'er!"

The children's faces suddenly disappeared from their smiles, and they stood there with wide eyes.

"Brother Han Bing lied! That red box belongs to Sister Cui'er! Last time she poured jelly beans out of it for us to eat!" A little girl suddenly pouted and said loudly.

The lie was exposed on the spot, Han Bing grinned awkwardly, and then said cheekily: "I'm kidding you! This candy box was given to me by your sister Cui'er, and she knew that I was going to come to see you, so she asked me to bring you her favorite jelly beans." ”

The children were happy again, stretching out their little hands and waiting for Han Bing to give jelly beans to everyone.

Han Bing coaxed them while handing them jelly beans, "Your sister Cui'er likes you the most, but she especially doesn't like people to thank her, so the next time she comes to see you, you must not mention to her about eating jelly beans this time." ”

The children were so focused on eating candy that they didn't understand the meaning of his words, but they all nodded their heads violently.

Song Qingfeng shook his head on the side, thinking that this guy must have stolen Cui'er's jelly beans to give favors, but he didn't expect the children to recognize that the candy box was Cui'er's, so he had to discuss with these children here even coaxingly. It's strange to say, although this guy is bold in doing things, he is not only afraid of his sister Xiangjun, but even the little girl next to her is afraid of being like this! The people in this flower mansion are really weird!

At this time, a fair-minded and kind middle-aged woman in her forties walked out of a hut in the west chamber and greeted with a smile: "The cold ice is here!"

Han Bing hurriedly smiled and responded, "Aunt Wu, I'm here to ask you for food again!"

Aunt Wu smiled and glanced at Song Qingfeng, "This son is your friend?"

Song Qingfeng was about to bow down and salute, but he was slapped on the shoulder by Han Bing, and he heard him say to Aunt Wu in a boastful manner: "This General Song has a big background! Aunt Wu, you have to cook more delicious food today, and treat this great hero who has returned from Jinmen Pass triumphantly!"

"I wonder which hero has come to the Humble House?"

As a loud voice sounded, an old man with a clear face, white hair and silver beard walked out of the main room, followed by a little girl of seven or eight years old.

Han Bing immediately smiled, bowed solemnly and said, "Old Meng, Han Bing is bothering again!"

Meng Lao hurriedly stepped forward to hold Han Bing's arm, shook his head and smiled: "You kid is always like this! How many times have I told you, although you are learning art with me, you have no master-apprentice status, so you don't need to give this big gift." ”

Han Bing just smiled, then pointed at Song Qingfeng, who was standing aside, and said, "Old Meng, his name is Song Qingfeng." ”

Song Qingfeng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I've seen Meng Lao." ”

Meng Lao narrowed his eyes and approached, looked at Song Qingfeng carefully for a moment, and then stroked the white beard under his chin and nodded: "This little brother is extraordinary, I just heard Han Bing say that you came back from Jinmen Pass, I think you are General Song, the son of the Marquis of Jingyuan, right?"

"The predecessor is too famous!" Song Qingfeng humbly bowed his hand.

"I, Meng Jinghong, have always been very accurate in seeing people, and I never exaggerate. General Song is resolute and calm, Yinghua is introverted, and he will be a generation of handsome talents in the future, and his achievements will never be inferior to Song Hou!"

Hearing the name of "Meng Jinghong", Song Qingfeng couldn't help but be slightly shocked, but he didn't expect that the old man in front of him, who seemed to be extremely ordinary and suffered from eye diseases, was actually the unpredictable "shocking appearance" Meng Jinghong on the rivers and lakes!

Speaking of this Meng Jinghong, most of the people in the rivers and lakes have only heard of his name, but have never seen him. But for his "flash of surprise", almost everyone has changed color when they hear it, because there are really many people who have suffered losses in this!

To put it bluntly, "Flash" is actually a kind of kung fu, and it is a kung fu of stealing! And this Meng Jinghong is a thief, a top master in the world of stealing.

It stands to reason that whether it is a thief or a stupid thief, no matter how you say it, they all belong to the inferior characters, and they can't be on the stage at all. But this Meng Jinghong is unique, although people in the rivers and lakes have mixed reviews about him, but no one dares to look down on him.

This is because Meng Jinghong has his own set of rules for doing things, and before each start, he will inform the target in advance, explaining the time and goal of his start. In this way, those who get the news will of course take strict precautions, and even gather some helpers to guard what he wants to steal.

It's a pity that even so, this Meng thief can succeed successfully every time, and the methods he uses are even more ever-changing, dazzling, and unguardable, just like a flash of shock, in the blink of an eye, it will fly away again, and there is no trace.

Faced with such a figure who is both good and evil, Song Qingfeng was frightened, and couldn't help but have a trace of doubt about Han Bing's identity. Just after hearing what Meng Jinghong said, Han Bing seemed to be learning art from him, could it be that he also wanted to be a thief?

"Elder Meng, this General Song is not here to listen to your fortune telling today-" Han Bing interjected hurriedly on the side.

Meng Jinghong glanced at him, snorted, and said, "I'm afraid that General Song is not here to drink!"

Knowing that his heart had been seen through by this old man, Han Bing simply salivated and said with a smile: "I heard that you stole two jars of willow leaf snow from Prince Ding twenty years ago, and today you want to entertain a distinguished guest like General Song, why should you take them out for everyone to taste?"

Meng Jinghong couldn't help but glared at him angrily, and then laughed again, "The old man has long seen that this kid of yours has other plans, so he will pester me to learn art." Anyway, for the sake of General Song's face today, the old man will take out these two jars of good wine that have been treasured for 20 years!"

Han Bing was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, and turned to Aunt Wu and said, "Aunt Wu, drinking willow leaf snow must be served with stinky mandarin fish and edamame tofu to make it more delicious, so please bother you more!"

Aunt Wu smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes! These two things are prepared in the kitchen, and our old man likes to eat this bite the most on weekdays." ”

"Huh, Aunt Wu, this is not right! I've been here so many times, why have I never eaten these two good things?"

"I didn't let her do it!" Meng Jinghong said with a straight face on the side, "I guessed that you kid has bad intentions, I'm afraid that you came for the two jars of wine of Prince Ding, and I have long instructed Aunt Wu not to make those two things for you to eat, lest you, a cheeky boy, take the opportunity to beg for wine." I didn't expect you to borrow wine and beg for food today!"

Han Bing just giggled, looking like a scoundrel to the end.

Meng Jinghong let Song Qingfeng into the room, and glanced at Han Bing with squinted eyes, and a smile that looked very similar to an old fox appeared on his lips covered by his white beard.
