The old man slowly stood up from the ground, smiled, looked at Li Qi and Wei Gang, and then sat down next to them, as if he didn't care at all whether others disliked him.
"It's not that he can't be beaten, it's just that...if he beats someone other than member Zhao, he will definitely not let it go. Those minions under him naturally have nothing to worry about, but it's not that easy when he has a few followers.
Deal with it."
As the old man said this, he opened the wine gourd and took a sip. He found that there seemed to be no wine in the gourd, so he called the waiter over: "Fill up the wine."
The waiter hesitated a little and said: "Old man Sun, you already owe several taels of wine money. I don't dare to give you more wine. When the time comes, the shopkeeper will blame you. How can I explain it to you?"
The old man rolled his eyes at him angrily: "Can you be more discerning? Didn't you see anyone paying today?"
As he said that, he looked at Li Qi: "Little brother, is it okay to buy me a pot of wine?"
Li Qi thought that the old man was quite interesting, and wanted to continue to listen to what he said about Zhao Yuanwai, so he said to the waiter: "Help the old gentleman fill up the wine, it will be mine, and the wine money that the old gentleman owed before will also be mine.
"
As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver and threw it over.
When the waiter saw this, he immediately put on a smile and said, "Okay, sir."
After saying that, he took the old man's wine gourd and went straight to fill it with wine.
"I wonder what you call the old gentleman?" Li Qi asked.
The old man smiled and said, "Others call me Lao Suntou."
"It turns out to be Mr. Sun." Li Qi cupped his hands and said, "Disrespectful."
Lao Suntou looked at Li Qi and said, "Judging from your accent, you are from Kyoto, right?"
Without waiting for Li Qi to answer, he continued: "I brought a guard with me when I came here from Kyoto... I also wore official boots on my feet, and the horse pulling the carriage was a curved horse... If I guessed correctly, little brother
To be an official in Kyoto, you must be at least a fifth-rank official. And this time I came by water, and when I got to Qucheng, I changed into a horse-drawn carriage. When I came here, I must have passed through Kuncheng, which means that my little brother has already met the prefect of Kuncheng."
At this time, the waiter brought the wine gourd over. Lao Suntou took the wine gourd, took a sip, and smacked his lips: "If I were those guys just now, I would definitely not suspect that the little brother knows Zhang Taishou... But, Zhang Taishou is here
Kuncheng is indeed the dominant force, and Yuan Wai Zhao has the final say in this small town."
Li Qi looked at him and said, "Is the old gentleman from another member of the Zhao family?"
Old Suntou sneered and said: "How could I be his? But I have to remind you, little brother, that his disciples are all masters in the world, and this brother with a different surname outside of Zhao Yuan is from Liusha Pavilion.
people."
Liusha Pavilion?
Li Qi hadn't heard this name for a long time, but this Liusha Pavilion had been thinking of ways to kill himself.
Several times without success.
But I don't know why, since I became an official, Liusha Pavilion never seemed to trouble me again.
"If it's somewhere else, maybe little brother doesn't have to worry, but here... I advise little brother to stay away from the edge for the time being." Lao Suntou said.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Thank you, old sir, for reminding me."
As he spoke, he shouted again at the top of his lungs: "Waiter? Why hasn't the food come yet? If you don't serve it, believe it or not, I will burn you all down?"
"Sir! It's coming, it's coming! Right now!"
The waiter hurriedly brought up a side of braised beef, followed by a bowl of chicken soup and a few side dishes.
Li Qi casually took a few bites to satisfy his stomach, and Wei Gang finished the rest.
The old man, on the other hand, just drank and didn't touch the food on the table at all, as if he could eat nothing as long as he had wine.
Li Qi also specifically asked him if he wanted to serve him some more snacks, but Lao Suntou refused.
"Drinking your wine is enough. If I eat your food again, I will owe you too much. I don't like to owe people too much." Old Suntou said.
Li Qi couldn't laugh or cry, thinking: Damn it, you old man is quite principled, but I just don't know how you are going to repay what you owe me.
"I see you are in a hurry, I guess this is not your destination, right?" Lao Suntou asked, "Where are you going?"
Li Qi hesitated for a moment before saying: "Lion Rock."
"Oh? Lion Rock?" Lao Suntou asked in surprise, "What are you doing there?"
"Looking for someone." Li Qi said.
Lao Sun nodded and did not ask any more questions, but said: "If you didn't take action with people other than Zhao just now, you should be able to go to Lion Rock tonight. But now I'm afraid you won't be able to go to Lion Rock tonight.
"
"Mr. Zhao, do you think Mr. Zhao will send someone to come and cause trouble for us?" Li Qi asked.
Lao Suntou said: "I don't think so, but I definitely will. Maybe they have already set up an ambush outside now. As soon as you go out, I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle."
Picking up the wine gourd, Lao Suntou took a sip and said: "Since I drank your wine, I will show you a clear path. Don't take the carriage when you go out for a while. Just ride north and go to the mass grave. As long as you get there,
They will definitely not dare to chase after a mass grave... However, if you go there, you must be prepared to get infected. Although you may have a narrow escape, I think you have a higher chance of surviving if you go to a mass grave.
"
Li Qi frowned, feeling that the old man was not joking.
A member of the Communist Party of China in a small town actually has so many masters under his command?
"You don't have to doubt what I said. Although your guards' horizontal skills are very powerful, they are no match for those people. It is only a matter of time before they are defeated." Old Suntou said.
Li Qi glanced at Wei Gang and said, "Monk, what do you think?"
Wei Gang did not answer the question, but twitched his ears and said: "Master, they are already here..."
Lao Suntou grinned, stood up from the table, returned to the corner, and sat down on the ground, as if he didn't want to get involved in this matter at all.
Li Qi knew that he must not be indecisive at this time, so he stood up without saying anything and said: "Monk, ride to the mass grave!"
Wei Gang nodded, rushed out of the inn quickly, and brought the horse over. After Li Qi went out, he jumped on the horse.
When he was in Kyoto, Li Qi practiced equestrian hard for a while because he was afraid of encountering unexpected situations.
I saw him get on his horse, pull the reins without saying a word, flick his whip, and rush out.
And Wei Gang followed closely behind on another horse.
Sure enough, not long after the two of them ran, there was a dense sound of horse hooves behind them.
Grandma, what the hell is this place, can a small member of the Communist Party of China be so cruel?
Is there any more royal law? Is there any more law?
