These dozen or so men in Taoist robes were naturally Taoist priests from the Golden Summit Palace. They had been waiting for Yan Zhuo at the foot of Kunlun Mountain for three full days.
"Young Master Yan, Young Master Mu made it easy for us to wait. We thought you were lost on the grassland, so we wandered around here looking for you for three days."
The person who spoke was the senior brother of this group of Taoist priests. He was wearing a gray Taoist robe, his back was straight, and he looked like he was in his early thirties at most. However, the wrinkles on his face were deep and dense, as if they were carved with knives and axes. It was obvious that
It is suffering from wind and frost.
He said this without dismounting, and seemed to be criticizing Yan Zhuo and the others.
In fact, it is no wonder that he was ordered by Lei Qing to lead more than ten disciples of the Golden Summit Demon Subduing Hall to wait for Yan Zhuo. Lei Qing only said that Yan Zhuo would arrive in two days at the latest, but Yan Zhuo asked this person to come.
More than a dozen people waited at the foot of the mountain for three whole days.
Yan Zhuo also knew that he was in the wrong, so he bowed his head and said: "My lord, Yan Zhuo, I have kept you all waiting for a long time."
As he said this, the sharp-eyed Taoist priests saw that Yan Zhuo and Mu Yunfeng were wrapped in bandages, as if they had just been injured, and they quickly winked at their senior brother.
The senior brother looked over and noticed the bandages on the two men's bodies, and thought to himself: "Did these two people encounter some mishap on the road, which delayed their trip?"
Thinking like this, he felt guilty in his heart, and he quickly got off his horse and asked Yanzhuo and others about their injuries.
"It's not in the way, it's not in the way, it's just a minor injury." Yan Zhuo replied.
"Young Master Yan, do you know who hurt you? There are such villains around Jinding Palace, and it is also our Jinding Palace's responsibility. We will help you two get rid of this evil in a moment!"
This elder brother spoke so sincerely and so eloquently that Yan Zhuo couldn't help but blush when he heard it.
Can this be said? If you tell them that you fought like this with Baiyun Villa, and you also burned the medicinal materials that Baiyun Villa gave you, even if you didn't hit the muzzle of the gun right.
Yan Zhuo cupped his hands and clasped his fists and said, "We have already dealt with a bunch of young people, so I won't bother you Taoist priests."
When the senior brother heard what Yan Zhuo said, he didn't ask any more questions. He just ordered the junior brothers behind him to bring in a few more horses and invited Yan Zhuo and the other three to ride to the Golden Summit together.
immediately.
"You haven't asked any of the Taoist priests for their names yet?" Yan Zhuo said.
The senior brother at the head said: "Lei Jie."
Behind him, more than a dozen disciples reported their names. They were all disciples of the Lei generation and the Demon Subduing Hall.
After hearing this, Yan Zhuo also introduced Qiao Zhenyue to everyone, saying: "This is my eldest brother, Qiao Zhenyue, the leader of the Beggar Clan."
When the Taoist priests heard about the leader of the Beggar Clan, their eyes widened. They hurriedly reined in the reins and dismounted from their horses. They raised their hands and said, "I didn't know it was Master Qiao, the leader of the Beggar Clan. I didn't expect you to come here. Please forgive me for not welcoming him from afar."
When Qiao Zhenyue saw these Taoist priests dismounting and being so polite, he hurriedly dismounted and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome. Taoist priests, you don't have to be so polite. Qiao is a beggar. Thank you for your respect."
Qiao Zhenyue said this, Lei Jie had already ordered: "Lei Feng, report to the mountain and tell the leader that Qiao Zhenyue, the leader of the Beggar Clan, has arrived."
"Slowly, slowly, no need, no need." Qiao Zhenyue hurriedly said, "No need, no need..."
As he said this, a touch of red appeared on his bronze-like cheeks. The red was just like the sunset in the evening, so deep and shy.
"Fellow Taoist priests, we have not prepared anything for this visit, so you don't need to entertain me specially."
Hearing what Qiao Zhenyue said, the dozen or so Taoist priests, Yan and Mu all burst into laughter.
"Gang Leader Qiao, the heroic hero at that time really lived up to his reputation. Come on, it's getting late now, and it's dangerous to go up the mountain in the dark. There is a restaurant in front of you. How about we go there to eat and drink?" Lei Jie clapped his hands and laughed.
The Taoists of the Demon-Conquering Hall are all known for their explosive temperaments, and such fiery people naturally like heroic men. The Taoist priest of the Demon-Conquering Hall, Lei Jieyigan, and Qiao Zhenyue have the same temperament and hit it off immediately.
"Excellent." Qiao Zhenyue also clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Then I have to treat you to this meal, so it doesn't mean that I, Qiao, came here empty-handed!"
"Okay, okay." Lei Jie laughed, "It's hard for us to refuse Gang Leader Qiao's hospitality."
Restaurant.
A wine table is a wine table made up of two large square tables put together.
The highland barley wine on the eight altars on the wine table has been opened. The rich aroma of the wine is as rich and warm as the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in the evening. Just one whiff of it will make you feel like you are falling into a dream.
If you have good wine, you must also have good food.
Qiao Zhenyue took out a small golden nugget from his arms, threw it to the young man, and said: "The cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and fish are so exciting, when will this ingot of gold be spent, and when will it stop!"
When the little boy saw such a gold ingot, he immediately said happily: "Look at it, sir, the roasted whole lamb in our store is the best in all the towns."
What the waiter said is true. The roasted lamb in this shop is indeed the best in the ten miles and eight towns, but it's not because he tastes good, but because he is the only restaurant in the ten miles and eight towns.
Two roasted whole lambs were served, followed by large pieces of freshly cut beef, beef tongue, beef heart, beef tendon, whole chicken, whole duck, pig's trotters, pig intestines, and all kinds of whole meat on a large plate. The wine table with two large square tables was fully set!
Needless to say, Qiao Zhenyue and Yi Qian, the Taoist Priest of the Demon-Conquering Hall, poured the wine into their vast intestines and turned them into water. Bowl after bowl of highland barley wine poured into their stomachs like drinking water.
The highland barley wine is extremely strong. For those who drink it for the first time, the wine will burn their tongues like fire. Not to mention drinking down a bowl in one gulp. Even these Taoist priests couldn't help but feel that their stomachs were on fire. They reached out and grabbed a piece of mutton and drank it whole. Swallow it into the stomach.
The mutton was roasted deliciously, and the sizzling mutton melted in the stomach just enough to cover up the alcohol. The more wine I drank, the more mutton I ate. Even if it was two roasted whole lambs, it wouldn't be easy to eat them in a while. He was eaten clean by these dozen men.
Although Yan Zhuo and Mu Yunfeng also drank, they were by no means as drunk as Qiao Zhenyue and the group of Taoist priests. Watching them eating and drinking indulgently, Yan and Mu just hid aside with interest, picked up the wine cups and sipped slowly .
After drinking too much wine, Qiao Zhenyue and the Taoist priest talked more.
At first, these people were still being polite, saying polite words such as "Gang Leader Qiao's massiveness" and "Gang Leader Qiao's arrogance". Later, they drank more and more. Lei Jie just put his arms around Qiao Zhenyue's neck and said: "Brother Qiao, Well, I have to call you Brother Qiao. Don’t look at the wrinkles on my face. In fact, I am only thirty-one this year, burp~"
As he said that, Lei Jie couldn't help but let out a wine burp.
"If you ask me, it's better to have a good drink with a bold man like Gang Leader Qiao. Those people from Baiyun Villa only know how to flatter Leader Qingyang. They are all a bunch of villains."
A slightly sober disciple on the side quickly grabbed Lei Jie and said, "Senior brother, you drank too much, you have to say something!"
Do men drink too much? A man with backbone will never drink too much, and Lei Jie is just such a man with backbone!
Lei Jie slapped the table and shouted: "I didn't drink too much. Doesn't Baiyun Villa just look down on the people in our Demon-Conquering Palace and fawn over those Taoist priests who make alchemy?"
Hearing what Lei Jie said, all the Taoist priests from the Demon Subduing Hall on the side turned pale.
Yan Zhuo looked at their expressions and knew that what Lei Jie said was true. Something was probably going to happen in the Golden Dome Palace.
