Snapped!

The bearded captain slammed the scabbard sword on the table, breaking the dark casserole into pieces, and said with an angry look, "How dare you eat dog meat? How dare you eat dog meat in Baima Pass!"

Shen Xiaojia was startled by the murderous look on the face of Colonel Hu, and he winced and said, "I don't know what kind of meat I am eating... I would like to ask, can't dog meat be eaten in Baimaguan?"

"Not just Baima Pass! Dog meat is not allowed in all the important fortresses in Daqing!" Colonel Hu pulled out his saber, put it on Shen Xiaojia's neck, and said coldly, "You are really presumptuous to ask this question.

Ah, if your third uncle is an expert, there is no way he would not have told you this taboo, it would have been revealed! If you dare to deceive me, be prepared to be reincarnated!"

Seeing that Mo Chunfeng's right foot had taken half a step forward, Shen Xiaojia hurriedly waved his hand secretly, winked at him to calm him down, coughed dryly, put two fingers against the blade, and said with a smile, "Master Jun, calm down.

My third uncle is indeed an experienced swordsman, but we don’t have much contact with each other. Today is also my first time coming to Baima Pass. I originally wanted to join him to find a future... You see, the three of us are all young.

I'm young, ignorant, and new to the world, so I don't know that these strange taboos are human nature."

"A strange taboo?" Captain Hu sneered, "This taboo is not strange at all. It can be said that anyone with a little bit of common sense knows it... Today, sir, I will give you some knowledge. Let me ask you, let's

Who is the most powerful general in Daqing?"

Shen Xiaojia blinked and said, "Is it you?"

"Although your flattery makes me feel comfortable, I dare not accept it... First, I, Mao Xuewang, am not a general, but just a small infantry captain in the army. Second, even if I am a general, I will not

I dare to admit that I am the most powerful. If I dare to agree to this sentence, my head will be hung on the city wall the next day, and I will be slaughtered by my own people... Because I, Daqing, already have the most powerful general.

, his name is powerful all over the world, even I am his fanatical follower..."

"Then I may know who this general is."

"oh?"

"Is this general's surname Zhu and Huairen?"

"That's right! There will always be only one most powerful general in Daqing, and that is Zhu Huairen, the general of Zhenbei who broke into Yanmen on horseback and challenged the Xiongnu Chanyu with a spear!"

"But since his surname is Zhu, why can't he eat dog meat?"

"It's simple, because the general is a dog."

"I see, then you must not eat dog meat!" Shen Xiaojia frowned and said with indignation, "From now on, if anyone dares to eat dog meat, I will fight him to the death!"

The bearded Captain Mao Xuewang was immediately confused, scratched his head and said, "You also admire General Zhenbei?"

"It's more than worship, it's simply worship!" Shen Xiaojia naturally removed the steel knife from his neck, stepped on the bench, raised his chin slightly and said, "What good man doesn't regard General Zhenbei as his own?"

Idol! The reason why we, the people of Daqing, have been able to enjoy these peaceful years is because General Zhenbei has carried the burden for us! Every time I hear the news that the general has killed enemy invaders, I can't help but burst into tears..."

"Why are you bursting into tears, and what does this idol mean?"

"Idol is someone who is moved to the point of vomiting. It is a very solemn compliment... As for why I burst into tears, it is because every time I hear these news, all I see is that others only care about being a general.

His achievements were applauded, but no one cared whether he was tired or not..."

The lobby was quiet except for Shen Xiaojia's voice, who was talking endlessly about the achievements of General Zhenbei, which gradually turned into a continuous stream of heroic words, such as...

"A man is born between heaven and earth. He should be like a general who controls the north. He drives a long chariot and tramples through the Helan Mountains. He has great ambitions and eats the flesh of Huns. He laughs and talks about drinking the blood of Huns when he is thirsty!"

"No matter how much suffering a real man may have, he should be like all the soldiers, bury it deep in his heart, laugh it off, protect his family and country, and return home wrapped in horse leather!"

"A real man should have a broad mind. How can he be depressed, look down upon life and death, and do whatever he doesn't want to do?"

"A real man..."

Mao Xuewang looked at Shen Xiaojia's sincere expression and couldn't help but feel slightly moved, and his eyes became moist.

Chu Yunqiao looked at Shen Xiaojia blankly, the corners of her mouth twitching. Only then did she realize that she didn't seem to know Shen Xiaojia very well.

Mo Chunfeng looked at Shen Xiaojia in confusion, his limbs stiff and unable to move an inch. Even though he knew that Shen Xiaojia had no bottom line, he never thought that a person could have no bottom line to this extent.

The waiter who was kneeling on the ground looked a little embarrassed. He didn't know whether he should interrupt Shen Xiaojia at this time and continue to perform the drama he had rehearsed for a long time, because he saw that not only the bearded captain Mao Xuewang was moved, but even

Even those ordinary soldiers had red eyes.

If someone maliciously breaks such a harmonious and sympathetic scene, that person will definitely be hacked to death.

On the second floor, in a certain wing, the old beggar and the Miao girl who were lying on the door panel also looked shocked. Their mouths were so big that they could fit an ostrich egg in.

The old beggar slowly retracted his chin and sighed, "What a talent! This boy will definitely be extraordinary in the future. He is so shameless. I have only seen three people in my life... He is a great person in life, but he is also a ghost in death!"

After a long time, Shen Xiaojia pretended to be sad and turned away, poked his eyes, cleared his throat, turned around, looked at Mao Xuewang with tears in his eyes, and choked, "So...Brother Beard, I

How is it possible to eat dog meat? What’s in this casserole is obviously pork..."

"Don't scream so harshly. Your third uncle is an experienced swordsman, and you admire General Zhenbei as much as I do. You can be said to be a confidant..." Mao Xuewang sniffed, held Shen Xiaojia's right hand and said, "A thousand pieces of gold are easy to make."

Yes, it’s hard to find a confidant! Just call me Brother Mao from now on. As for the dog meat... This casserole has been broken into pieces, and the meat in it is gone. No one knows whether it was dog meat or pork. Maybe it was me.

You must have smelled it wrong!”

"No..." the waiter said anxiously, "Master Jun, the meat in that pot is indeed dog meat. They forced me to kill it. If I don't listen to them, they will beat me. Look at the injuries on my face... It's genuine.

ah!"

Mao Xuewang glanced at the injury on the waiter's face, then turned to look at Shen Xiaojia, frowning and saying, "Brother, is this what he said?"

"How is that possible!" Shen Xiaojia sneered and said proudly, "Brother Mao, you have seen my little brother's martial arts just now. If we want to beat him, he will not have the strength to come to you and complain... Say something.

If I'm not being modest, my martial arts skills are slightly higher than those of my little brother. If I really want to fight, no one in the entire Baima Pass can fight me for more than five rounds. How can a person like me bully someone?

Waiter, do you think so or not?"

"It makes sense!" Mao Xuewang glanced at Mo Chunfeng, who had his head lowered, and nodded in agreement, "I still understand a little about the nature of people in the world. People with great skills like my little brother care about their reputation.

Most people take it as their duty to be chivalrous and righteous, and they really won't do such dirty things as hurting others just for a pot of dog meat... Moreover," he took a careful look at the scars on the waiter's face, "I think the wounds on his face are also serious.

It's not like he was injured by fists or feet, it's more like he hit a pillar, and the wound is very smooth!"

The waiter immediately felt guilty and hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Master Jun, the injuries on my face are just minor things. They really ate dog meat. There are still some dog bones left in the kitchen. If you don't believe it, you can cut them open."

Check their bellies to see if they contain dog meat!"

Shen Xiaojia's face suddenly turned cold when he heard this, he snorted coldly, looked directly into the waiter's eyes and said, "The way you put it, I can also say that the dog meat was eaten by you. After all, you are the one who served us.

Whether the pot is pork or dog meat doesn’t depend on how you handle it, why don’t you cut your belly open and test it first?”

On the second floor, the old beggar who was eavesdropping stroked his beard and praised, "What a man who has done the same to others... This man is actually well versed in the art of war, it's amazing!"

In the lobby, Mao Xuewang was also secretly amazed. His inner thoughts were exactly the same as the old beggar's words. He glanced at the waiter who was shaking like chaff, then looked at Shen Xiaojia who had a calm face. He sighed slightly and said decisively, "I see.

Now, what's in this pot is pork, don't cut anyone's belly open, please don't bother with it this late at night..."

The waiter wanted to say something more, but when he saw Mao Xuewang's cold eyes, he immediately lowered his head and said nothing with a dejected look on his face. The show tonight was a mess, and he could already foresee his fate tomorrow.

However, Shen Xiaojia smiled shyly and responded obediently, "Brother Mao will do whatever he says. I have no objection, little brother."

"My little brother is still sensible. If it weren't for my brother, I would still have to go out to do errands. I would have a good drink with you for three hundred cups!" Mao Xuewang patted Shen Xiaojia on the shoulder and said, "By the way, I haven't asked my little brother about Gao's name yet.

?”

"It's important...little brother, I won't change my name in office, or my surname in office," Shen Xiaojia said calmly, "My surname is Qu, my given name is Moxuan, and I am the ninth oldest child in the family, so people in the world like to call me Qu Laojiu!"

"This name seems familiar, little brother is indeed an extraordinary person..." Mao Xuewang silently repeated the words "Qu Mo Xuan" for a few times, thinking about turning around to let people investigate, coughed twice, put away the steel knife, and scanned the inn

Ichiban said calmly, "Okay, there's nothing special here, I'll go to other places to search first...that brother Qu..."

Shen Xiaojia didn't react for a moment, and after a few breaths he hurriedly responded, "Hey! Does Brother Mao have any other instructions?"

"I don't have any instructions. I just have a small suggestion... Lao Dao Baozi is also your third uncle after all. How can you live in such a wretched place? Isn't this humiliating the face of our Baimaguan soldiers?"

"So where should I live?"

"There is an inn in the south of the city, called Hongchen. On the left is the Zhuguo Temple with its melodious Zen sounds, and on the right is the Fire Temple with its prosperous incense. It leads to Baiyang Street, the most prosperous Baiyang Street in Baimaguan, and to Ruyi Lane leading to the South City Gate in the back. It extends in all directions.

, the guests staying here are all celebrities, it is convenient and clean, which is in line with your identity and style, Brother Qu."

"But I have already paid here..."

"If you want to come back, how many are there?"

"It's not a lot, just two hundred taels of silver..."

"Two hundred taels?" Mao Xuewang almost bit his tongue and said with a strange expression, "So dark?"

"Yeah, it's darker than the night in Baimaguan!" Shen Xiaojia sighed, "Maybe he's bullying me for being an outsider. There's no way, I'm too down-to-earth, I just take whatever others say and never talk to me.

People are very careful about bargaining."

"How unreasonable! How unreasonable!" Mao Xuewang looked at the waiter angrily, stretched out his right hand, and said sternly, "Aren't you bullying an honest person? Take the money out quickly, or grandpa, I will chop you off, you black sheep, in order to straighten the business of Baimaguan.

atmosphere!"

The waiter in the shop trembled all over and felt miserable. He could only take out a silver ingot from his arms, tremblingly, and took out the silver notes he had redeemed from his own small vault a few days ago. He collected two hundred taels and put them together with a look of reluctance.

into the hands of Mao Xuewang.

Mao Xuewang turned around and handed the money in his hand to Shen Xiaojia, tilted his head and said, "Brother Qu, I got the money back for you. Be more cautious when dealing with people in the future. Don't go into any store, don't eat all kinds of meat...

…This inn is so dark, please change to another hotel quickly!”

"Yes, yes!" Shen Xiaojia nodded repeatedly, but only took one hundred taels of silver from Mao Xuewang's hand, and said with a shy smile, "Thanks to Brother Mao this time, otherwise I would not only have been cheated out of my money, but also might

You will be cheated... The money you give out is equivalent to the water you throw out. If you take it back, you will earn it in vain. I will take back half of it, and the rest will be used by Brother Mao and all the brothers to drink.
