(Keeping everyone waiting.)
There must have been as many as twenty men and women blocking the door of the inn and swearing. The young and strong men had angry faces, the women had their hands on their hips and cursed, and a group of children were heartless, either licking the candied haws with their heads tilted, or secretly holding slingshots.
Use the wine trick.
Chen Pingan stayed in the crowd for a while, but he didn't understand the reason because he was speaking in the dialect of Hu'er Town. However, looking at Pei Qian's panic after seeing him on the second floor, Chen Pingan knew better.
Pei Qian was originally squatting on the railing on the second floor, picking his nose or earwax. He was not taking it seriously, and he also deliberately made disgusting gestures. The more fierce the scolding outside, the happier Pei Qian laughed.
Fortunately, those men and women from Hu'er Town did not dare to enter the inn. The little cripple thought the noise was too annoying, so he was busy collecting the leftovers on the wine table. The old hunchback sat in the distance smoking a cigarette, and Jiuniang sat there.
The down-and-out scholar who was eating melon seeds behind the counter did not think it was a serious matter. He originally wanted to be a peacekeeper, but he was pushed hard by a man and staggered back to the inn. Then he returned to the woman in angrily and pretended to pick up the snow white
The vast account book received a blank look from Jiuniang.
When Chen Pingan crossed the threshold with a straight face, Pei Qian wanted to sneak back into the house, but Chen Pingan stopped her and asked her to go downstairs.
Pei Qianwei shrank down the stairs, and without waiting for Chen Pingan to ask questions, she poured the beans out of a bamboo tube without causing trouble. According to her, she went to Hu'er Town to find a drugstore to buy some medicinal materials for Chen Pingan.
, and then the peers over there bullied the students and ganged up to bully her, a foreigner. At first, they robbed her of the bunch of candied haws that were originally intended to be left to Chen Pingan.
For her sake, those people also liked to follow her behind, say unpleasant things, gather in groups, and throw stones at her, but she ignored her. Later, when she bought a dragonfly paper kite, someone else was jealous and pulled her away.
She let go, and with just a swish, the kite floated out of Hu'er Town and disappeared completely. She was so angry that she started a fight with others. Five or six people couldn't beat her, and she still cried.
She wanted to go home and call her parents and elders to beat her, but she was not stupid, so she ran away quickly. Besides, the dragonfly paper kite cost 20 cents, and it was just gone.
I searched outside Erzhen for a long time...
Although Pei Qian himself has little confidence, he always pays attention to Chen Pingan's face when he lies, and is ready to be beaten at any time. When the time comes, he just needs to protect his head. It doesn't matter if Chen Pingan kicks or pinches him a few times in the stomach or arms.
Once you have a full meal, you will be a good man again.
But Chen Ping'an just listened quietly to Pei Qian's explanation before saying: "After you have finished lying, tell me the truth again. It's okay not to tell me. From now on, you will stay here at the inn. I will never starve you to death."
Pei Qian said nothing.
Chen Ping'an went to the counter. Jiuniang glanced at the skinny little girl on the other side of the stairs and laughed softly: "Mr. Chen, how did you teach such a little devil? He almost caused trouble in an alley in Hu'er Town.
First, she deceived other people's children out of food, and frightened the little guys who were playing in the mud. They all believed her to be true, thinking that she was our princess from Daquan Capital, who was just living among the people, and sooner or later she would have to go back to live there.
In the palace, after getting to know each other well, she took the children to play wildly all day long, and became the king of the children there. Later, they had a falling out over a kite, and they fought fiercely. It seemed that in the end she was driven away.
The adults in the past gave me two slaps. If you are an ordinary person, you should recover after suffering a loss. This person in your family is better. He claims to be my distant relative. Based on this, he paid a few gangsters from Hu'er Town to take advantage of the opportunity.
When it got dark, I went to beat the man. After that, he became even more lawless. The children were mostly neighbors in the alley. They were haunted at night. Not only the children, but even the adults were so scared that they dared not turn off the lights at night. Chen
Young Master, you also know that there is really a ghost in Hu'er Town now. For this reason, a few detectives stayed on guard all night before the little girl who was pretending to be a ghost was caught out. In the end, guess what, it was for your girl to town.
After staying, I don’t know what I said, but I sent her back politely. Don’t tell me, a bunch of agents in official attire escorted a little girl into the inn. She really looked like a princess.
of."
Chen Ping'an felt dizzy for a while and turned around to look at Pei Qian. He couldn't see anyone but saw a pair of legs, probably sitting on the stairs.
Jiuniang covered her mouth and smiled, "It's such a big thing to spend money to eliminate disasters. It's a small amount of money that costs ten taels of silver. You must not get involved in this matter, just leave it to me. With your good temper, Mr.
People are more energetic, and if something is too big, it can be described as a terrible tragedy for them."
Chen Ping'an said helplessly: "It's time to keep the accounts. I'll settle them with the house account later."
Jiu Niang stopped her smile and said seriously: "Mr. Chen, who has been favored by our Yao family for the surname of the whole family, still cares about such trivial matters, won't I, Jiu Niang, feel ashamed?"
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "It's not the same thing."
Jiuniang wanted to say something else, but Chen Ping'an had already said, "I'll leave Madam to trouble with today's matters."
Jiuniang agreed, walked out of the counter, elbowed the accounting man aside, took out some broken silver from the drawer, and went to the door of the inn to settle the matter.
Hu'er Town is located on the border. It's a mixed bag of good and bad people. Not everyone may have high abilities, but their vision is definitely not narrow. People come and go, and they haven't heard anything new. They are still a little angry, and there may be some anonymous outsiders.
Masters, such as the third master of the Yao family.
There was so much commotion in the inn earlier, especially the back and forth between Wei Xian and the Qi Practitioners, which was very eye-catching. It was truly a scene of a fight between gods. From the distance in Hu'er Town, it was nothing but lively.
, of course, I was in awe. Later, there was a strong cavalry detour to the north, and various rumors came out. Some said that it was Jiuniang of the inn, a vixen who liked to flirt with men. She was really a vixen. Most of the people who held this view were Hu'er.
Some of the aunts and wives in the town said something more gloomy, saying that the reason why Hu'er Town has been so unstable in recent years is that demons are entrenched in it. This time, a real dragon passed through, and the demonic and dragon energy rushed out, which led to the killing.
Demons and monsters.
Jiuniang shook her waist and stood towards the door. The arrogance outside suddenly dropped.
Scholar Zhong Kui asked with a smile: "When did Tongyezhou have such a large Jianghu sect? It is equivalent to the Jianghu sect of the Xian family with the prefix Zong?"
Having said this, the scholar laughed to himself, as if he thought his statement was very novel and interesting.
There is a tough man in charge of a man, a rickety old man who is bloodthirsty and violent, a sword-wielding man who is trained by Daquan general Xu Qingzhou, and a stunning woman who suppresses the immortal master Xu Tong with her sword skills.
The most important thing is that these four people, both in terms of momentum and cultivation, have been increasing during the battle.
Of course, we must also add a young master who is not a Qi practitioner but can wield a sword. He is just a little handsome and steals the limelight from Jiuniang. Otherwise, he must have a good relationship with this person and call him brother-in-law.
Chen Pingan hesitated for a moment, but chose to be honest, "We are not from Tongyezhou."
Zhong Kui hummed, "Where are you from Posuzhou?"
Posuzhou is extremely famous. Even though Tongyezhou is a place that likes to keep its eyes high and look down on the world's heroes, it is still convinced by the Posuzhou that is closest to Xuanxuan Mountain because there is a Yingyin Chen family there.
, there is Chen Chun'an who almost monopolizes the title of "Chun Confucian".
Zhong Kui has admired Posuzhou for a long time, but due to his status in the academy and the teachings of his teacher, he has not been able to travel for a long time.
In addition to the Yingyin Chen family, Posuzhou also has many scenic spots that are famous in history. Zhong Kui wants to visit them. Tongyezhou is too boring, and neither the people at the foot of the mountain nor the monks on the mountain like to walk around.
Chen Pingan pointed to the north.
Zhong Kui's eyes lit up, "Have you ever met Mr. Qi from Cliff Academy?"
Chen Pingan was choked and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Zhong Kui laughed and said: "Maybe you recognize Mr. Qi, but Mr. Qi doesn't recognize you. It's okay, we are the same."
As for the nearest neighbor to the north, Aopingzhou, Zhong Kui doesn't think highly of him. He probably only has a pair of senior brothers, the knowledge of Qi Jingchun from Shanya Academy, and the chess skills of Cui Chan, the master of Da Li. I only heard about Li Zhu.
The cave sky shattered and fell, and Mr. Qi also died. Even Zhong Kui's mentor felt quite regretful and privately told Zhong Kui that if Qi Jingchun was in Tongyezhou, he would never be so humiliated.
You will end up alone and the whole world will be your enemy.
Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "Let's chat while drinking?"
Just for the word "Mr. Qi" in Zhong Kui's mouth, Chen Ping'an was willing to drink a pot of wine with this man.
Zhong Kui glanced at the woman who was giving advice at the door, and said in a low voice: "It's okay to drink, but if Jiu Niang complains, please help me."
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Of course."
Zhong Kui carried two pots of green plum wine and, as the accountant, asked the little cripple to bring them several plates of side dishes to accompany the wine.
Zhong Kui was sitting cross-legged on the bench, not doing anything right.
Chen Pingan asked: "I heard that sir is from Dafu Academy?"
Zhong Kui didn't take it seriously and laughed casually: "No, he is still a gentleman, isn't he awesome?"
Chen Pingan toasted a bowl of wine.
The word "respect a gentleman".
Zhong Kui quickly stretched out his hand to stop him, but Chen Ping'an had already finished the drink in one gulp. The wandering academy gentleman sighed: "Is this worth a glass of wine? I think you just want to drink?"
Chen Ping'an remembered that the sage from the academy, Zhou Ju, whom he met in Shushui Kingdom, was very different from the gentleman in front of him. Zhou Ju was at the Jianshui Villa of the Song Dynasty, and he could determine people by reciting poems.
Life and death, it’s better to have the Constitution in your mouth.
Scholars, after reading different books, will probably have different styles.
Zhong Kui suddenly remembered something, "The man who blocked the qigong practitioner outside the door that night was wearing Manna Armor. If I read it correctly, it should be the 'Xiyue' recorded in the ancient military books, and it was the eighth ancestral armor of Manna Armor.
One of them, was it passed down from your ancestors?"
Chen Ping'an's heart was slightly shaken, he shook his head and said: "I bought it from Daixuanshan Ganoderma Zhizhai."
Zhong Kui asked: "How many Grain Rain coins did you spend?"
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "I just spent some summer money, it's not expensive, I plan to give it to others in the future."
Zhong Kui said with a smile: "Lingzhi Zhai doesn't know the goods, so you made a big mistake. But it's normal. Xiyue has set restrictions for experts. If I hadn't happened to have the secret book that was about to be broken into pieces in the academy, I happened to be familiar with it.
Even if I looked hard at these military secrets passed down by Komaru for a long time, I would not recognize them. I advise you to keep it. It is such a valuable thing, not to mention that it has many stories. It would be a pity to give it away casually."
Chen Ping'an didn't say whether to send it or not. He asked curiously: "Eighth Ancestral Armor?"
Zhong Kui picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth, "The full name of Ganlu Jia is the god Chenglu Jia. Let me ask you, what god is it? What kind of dew does it bear?"
Chen Pingan shook his head and didn't know.
Zhong Kui smiled and said, "Except for Huashan, the other seven earliest nectar armors are from Buddha Kingdom, Flower Bud, Mountain Ghost, Narcissus, Xiaguang, Caiyi, and Sea of ​​Clouds. Most of them were destroyed in the war and were completely gone, leaving only
Not many came down, and there are well-documented ones, just the Mountain Ghost and the Caiyi. Although the Huashan in your hand is very tattered, compared with the two that were finally left in the world, they are already considered good.
If you meet someone who knows the goods and knows the business, you can just bid the hell out of them and make sure you make a lot of money. However, these ancestor armors have lost their roots. The magical power to protect their masters is not even one in ten. It is really disappointing. For this
, I need a glass of wine."
Zhong Kui picked up the wine bowl and drank it all first.
