330 Turning Iron into Dust (Part I)
Red Frost a few days later.
At dusk, Xie Jun and his group walked through the stone road in a daze. After a long time, this Red Frost Town has been bustling with business. The Chamber of Commerce gathered, and the dart team was vertical. At the beginning, no one thought that this meeting between Chu Tao and Tang Yao in Duanjiazhai would make this town with maple leaves like blood like the sun rise in the blink of an eye. Maybe not many people walking on this road will think of Chu Tao, and no one will know what kind of danger it was when they first entered the Beacon Fire Ridge, but everything changed accordingly.
A caravan was approaching, led by a handsome and thin young man. Just turned the year of the weak crown, riding a flower horse, hanging Wu hook at the waist. "Young Master Zixi. The guard arched his hand and said, "Why don't you go to the inn in front and wait for the big shopkeeper!"
As soon as the young master promised, the caravan stopped.
The word "guest" flag flutters in the wind on the side of the road, and the storefront eaves and high pavilion are quite magnificent. Xie Junhe motioned for them to go to this inn as well. Just as Shiyu and Xuehai were about to step into the door of the store, Li Zhaolin had already stepped forward to talk: "Yo! Childe is so angry! Look at this outfit, it must be a long trip!"
The young master hugged his fists and said: "Wu Zixi, the young master of the Southeast Tea Gang." I don't know where the hero comes from?" Wu Di's accent was soft and modest, silky as satin. The guard beside him immediately reminded in a cold voice: "Young master, go out......
"When you go out, you should be a hero in the world. The delicate voice made the rhetoric a little ridiculous.
"Hey, I love to hear that!" Li Zhaolin had already put one shoulder on Wu Zixi's neck, and the faces of the guards had turned from black to gray. Only Li Zhao smiled and waved his hand as if no one was around: "I, Li someone, have no other hobbies, I just love to make friends!" While shaking his steps, he dragged Wu Zixi into the room: "There is a fate to meet thousands of miles away." Zixi's son has traveled thousands of miles, and it is very rare for you and me to have a meeting today! Looking at the face of the son, the heavenly court is full and square, and he must be a noble man with jade in his mouth and gold in his mouth!"
Wu Zixi looked left and right, and was dragged like a marionette by Li Zhaolin, with no direction.
Xue Hai Shiyu looked at each other, covered his mouth and snickered, this rhetoric, no matter how it sounds, is like the opening remarks of soliciting business in the rivers and lakes.
On the ground, a guard jumped out and pushed Li Zhaolin away with a palm: "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!"
Li Zhaolin felt a pain in his shoulder, and retreated straight to the door.
"Don't be rude!" Wu Zixi was polite and apologized frequently. Li Zhaolin returned the salute in response: "Ah, I'm glad to be happy, why don't we have a glass of wine together?"
"Thank you for your kindness, but my father once told me that when I go out, I don't want to drink, I'm sorry. Wu Zixi bowed his hand and refused, "If Li Gongzi has this Yaxing, when I return from this trip, I will have a drink with you here." With a wave of his hand, the guards followed him into the inn.
Li Zhaolin was suddenly rejected, and stood in place awkwardly, neither advancing nor retreating.
Xie Junhe seemed to remember something, smiled weirdly, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Isn't it just trying to trick him into drinking? ”
"This ......" Li Zhaolin glanced back at Xie Junhe, and then at Chu Xuehai, very entangled - this kid is not the master, what are you excited about? Xuehai pretended to be serious and said: "Xie Guard, I didn't listen to what Wu Gongzi said, you have something to do, and you shouldn't drink?"
"Lao Tzu can't get drunk!" Xie Junhe shouted impatiently, dragged Li Zhaolin to find Zhang Zuo'er in the lobby of the inn, crossed Erlang's legs and said, "Xiao Er, serve the best wine!"
Xue Hai glanced at him, pulled up Shiyu, asked the store for a room, and went upstairs.
Xie Junhe smiled at Li Zhaolin matter-of-factly: "A little baby, dare to command Lao Tzu?"
"This-hehe-" Li Zhaolin was confused by him. Just because he seemed to be able to hear the words of the Wu family's guards sitting in the lobby, he sat down at the wine table for the time being. But he immediately regretted the decision. Escort Xie, who was silent, looked gloomy and terrifying when he saw the wine.
Trying to withdraw, this man's iron fist was already deeply embedded in his arm, and he would not be allowed to back down.
"It's rare for me to invite someone to drink, Brother Li can be appreciated!" Xie Junhe smiled narrowly, and filled the cup at once. A wine cup was stuffed to Li Zhaolin. The unbridled aroma of liquor was a little breathless under my nose. Li Zhaolin took it with a dry smile, holding his breath deeply. Before he could drink it, Xie Junhe was already empty, and the whole inn could hear this gentleman's laughter: "Not bad, not bad, get drunk and rest!"
Li Zhaolin just swallowed with a reluctant smile, and Xie Junhe snatched his cup and filled it with a full cup.
"Uh...... Brother Xie......" Li Zhaolin glanced uneasily at the Wu family guards whispering in the corner. They were glancing here with the same wary gaze. Li Zhaolin couldn't hear a complete sentence of what he said. I only vaguely heard the "big shopkeeper" and so on. I wanted to listen carefully, and suddenly received an iron palm in the back. The thunderous voice drowned out all the small whispers: "Alas, Brother Li, this drinking, you can't be half-hearted! Between heaven and earth, only I and wine are happy and forget my worries! Why are you looking for trouble?"
Li Zhaolin's heart jumped for a moment, his face was a little pale, he smiled, but he couldn't shake off the arm that hooked this person's shoulder, and he was pressed to the edge of the table and couldn't move.
"Drink!" Xie Junhe's sharp gaze swept away, he had no choice, choked on his breath, and had to drink it all.
"Haha! Brother Li is very bold!" Unexpectedly, Xie Junhe became more and more energetic, and he drank more and more cups. Gradually, nothing could be heard from the other side, but many strange visions appeared in front of me for no reason, and the luster in the wine glass became strange.
A violent swelling pain in his head struck him, as if he had been beaten hard, and then he felt that his consciousness was like a dream. Looking at the guards of the Wu family, he only felt that the vague shadow faded away in the shaking. In addition to the vague noise, there was only the sound of the guard's frenzied persuasion.
Xie Junhe's eyes were full of courtesy, and he froze in an instant: "It's a pity that Brother Li's alcohol is really ...... That's it, it's better than drinking alone, I'll salute Brother Li for a few cups!"
In the sound of cups, the small words in the corner of the wall floated to his ears word for word.
"How can the big shopkeeper have no news?"
"Didn't he go to find out?"
"I haven't returned for a few days, it's unreasonable! Seeing that the young master's face is very bad, could it be that something happened?"
"In this way, it must be a big deal! It can't be that he was involved in the incident of Beacon Ridge, right?"
"It's hard to say what is right and wrong. ”
The third person came up and said, "The young master ordered you two to immediately follow him outside the town to find out the news of the big shopkeeper, and find out the road conditions by the way." ”
"Here, night is approaching, and the safety of the young master ......"
"Hugh wants to talk nonsense!"
Hearing this, the corners of Xie Junhe's mouth opened with an imperceptible sneer.
