Chapter 107
20. It’s hard to refuse hospitality
"Xie Shaoxia! Do you want to go to my place for a few drinks?" Murong Fu pointed to his table and invited Xie Ying.
Xie Ying looked at the food and wine on his table that had been eaten and drank, and said, "It's all right."
Murong Fu did not expect that Xie Ying would agree so easily, so he enthusiastically pulled Xie Ying towards his table.
"Brother Deng, second brother Gongye, this is Xie Ying, a young master!" Murong Fu introduced Xie Ying to the two retainers.
"Thank you, Young Master, for your courtesy." Deng Baichuan and Gong Yegan said with fists clasped.
Murong Fu also pointed at the two of them and introduced, "These two are my brothers, Brother Deng Baichuan, Brother Gongye, Brother Gongye, Third Brother Bao Bu Tong, Third Brother Bao and Fourth Brother Feng Bo Ni Feng, but they are not here. here."
"Brother Deng, second brother Gongye."
"No need to be polite, let's sit down and eat together!" Deng Baichuan asked Xie Ying to sit down.
During the dinner, Deng Baichuan asked: "Where is Mr. Xie from? Which school did he learn from?"
"I am from Guanzhong, and I live on the border of Huashan Mountain."
Xie Ying circled the table in front of him with his fingers, and then pointed to the table before him. "This table, and that table, check out."
Then he also introduced Xie Ying to places in Gusu City that he could visit, and said that he could take Xie Ying to see them if he had time.
"Brother Xie is far away from home, won't the elders in the family be worried?"
"Brother Murong, thank you. Let's say goodbye. I'll treat you to a drink next time." Xie Ying waved her hand and started to walk downstairs.
Xie Ying also raised his glass and took a sip, shaking his head with a wry smile, "No matter what, it's still not as good as the Murong family."
The most important thing about this waiter is that he has a good memory. He arranged both tables and kept the money in mind. He was about to answer the question of how much it would cost, but he didn't expect that Murong Fu would beat him to it.
At this time, Xie Ying was holding the table with both hands, and white smoke and the smell of alcohol kept coming out of his body. After a while, the aroma of wine overflowed, and Xie Ying used his internal strength to disperse all the alcohol in his body.
The bitter taste on Xie Ying's face became even stronger, and he said: "There is nothing else at home! It's all gone."
Xie Ying turned around and said, "First find an inn to stay in, and then look around. I can go anywhere in the world."
"I haven't found a place yet. I'll just find an inn later. Waiter." Xie Ying first answered Murong Fu's question and then shouted loudly.
"No, I came to Jiangnan to see the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan. Wouldn't it be bad if I went to your house?"
"Brother Murong, what's wrong?" Xie Ying asked drunkenly.
"Stop talking about this and continue drinking." Xie Ying waved her hand and said, unwilling to explain any more.
In order to hide his identity, Xie Ying has been speaking Guanzhong dialect, so it makes sense for him to say that he is from Guanzhong.
"Brother Xie, don't drink anymore." Murong Fu grabbed Xie Ying's arm.
"What's the inconvenience? Although my Murong family lives in a corner, we still have some wealth, which is enough for Brother Xie to live here." Murong Fu said generously.
The four of them walked together to the west of the city. As they walked, Murong Fu said to Xie Ying: "My home is in Yanziwu Canhe Village in Taihu Lake. It is thirty miles away from Gusu City, and we can only get there by boat."
Murong Fu quickly grabbed Xie Ying and asked, "Where are you going, brother Xie?"
Xie Ying nodded, and when the boat stopped, Bao BuTong jumped out of the boat, called "Master", and then greeted Deng Baichuan and Gong Yegan. Xie Ying then stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Have you seen Bao BuTong?" Third brother."
"Hahaha, brother Xie is really willful. I won't delay brother Xie. My Murong family is on Taihu Lake, so we can see the beauty of Taihu Lake."
"That's very good, that's very good." Xie Ying smiled broadly and looked very satisfied.
Murong Fu nodded, "Guanzhong, that's really far away. Why did Brother Xie come to Jiangnan?"
"Brother Xie has such profound inner strength!" Murong Fu felt ashamed after seeing Xie Ying's actions and couldn't help but admire him.
Xie Ying threw the wine glass on the table, then put his hands on it and stood up.
Suddenly Murong Fu pointed to the lake in the distance, and Xie Ying also looked over. He saw a small boat floating in the green waves, and a middle-aged man on it was paddling towards this side.
Seeing Xie Ying's helpless smile, Murong Fu felt that the matter might not be that simple, and that there might be something going on, so he continued to ask.
Xie Ying quickly waved his hand, "Wherever there is any teacher, I just rely on the martial arts passed down from my family and my father's guidance to practice casually."
Gong Yeqian didn't speak, just nodded and followed the waiter to the counter.
Murong Fu pointed out the window, "Look it's getting late and the rain outside has stopped. Does Brother Xie have a place to stay?"
As soon as he heard this, Murong Fu got excited. He was able to practice to this extent just by relying on the martial arts passed down from his family. Either he had extremely high talent, or the martial arts passed down from his family were excellent.
Xie Ying smiled and replied, "Haha, I heard that Jiangnan is good, so I wanted to come and see where it is."
"Okay, brother Xie, please stay at my house temporarily!" Murong Fu pulled Xie Ying and walked downstairs. By this time, Deng Baichuan had also settled the bill and was waiting downstairs.
"Come here, what are your orders, sir?" A waiter hurried over.
Several people drank several jars of wine, but because they were all people with profound internal skills, they were not drunk. Deng Baichuan asked: "Brother Xie is also very powerful. I wonder which sect he is from?"
As they talked, a few people arrived at the ferry at Taihu Lake. At this time, a boatman was waiting for the guests on the shore, but Murong Fu ignored them and just looked at the lake.
"Since Brother Xie has nowhere to go, why don't you come and stay at my place for a few days?"
"Ah! How could this be so? Brother Xie's martial arts is so high, your father must be even more powerful. Why..."
Murong Fu and Deng Baichuan looked at each other, and then continued drinking with Xie Ying. After a while, the sound of rain outside the window gradually stopped, and they were almost done drinking.
Murong Fu raised his wine glass and said to Xie Ying: "It's just a family tradition. It seems that Brother Xie's family has a long history!"
"Thank you for being so polite, brother. We'll treat you to this meal. Second brother Gongye, please go and settle the bill!"
"Isn't this inconvenient?"
"We made an agreement with Brother Bao San. He should come to pick us up after a while. Look, he's here."
When the boat docked, Murong Fu pointed at the man rowing the boat and said, "That's Bao BuTeng Bao Third Brother."
"Brother Xie, you must take a good look and don't miss it." Murong Fu also burst out laughing.
Bao BuTong looked at Murong Fu with confusion on his face, and Murong Fu quickly introduced him.
"This is Xie Ying, a good friend I just made. I'm going to Shenhe Village to stay for a few days."
Only then did Bao BuTong understand. He also cupped his fists and shouted "Thank you, brother."
Several people jumped on the boat brought by Baotong and rowed back from Gongyegan.
