There is sweat medicine in the tea.
It is best to mix Mongolian sweat medicine with wine. Because Mongolian sweat medicine often has a yellowish and variegated color, ordinary rice wine is also yellow in color, and village mash is even more turbid and green, so it is difficult to detect anything.
But the shopkeeper probably thought that the four of them were young and might not know how to drink. It just so happened that the tea was not very good either. It was dark in color and even if you added some spices, it wouldn't be obvious.
But just because you can't see it doesn't mean you can't smell it. Mongolian sweat medicine has a somewhat sour taste. Unless it is masked with spices, people with profound internal energy and keen senses will know it as soon as they smell it.
As soon as Tang Zhao entered Lingzhou, he encountered water bandits. He didn't even eat a single lunch, and he encountered a black shop again. He was really angry. It seems that Boss Wan didn't say much when he said there were tens of thousands of thieves in Lingzhou, maybe even less.
He put down the bowl angrily and saw the other three people looking at him curiously.
Jiang Shenyi said: "What's wrong?"
Tang Zhao was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't you smell it?"
The three of them looked at him blankly. The smart ones didn't smell it, but they gradually guessed it, revealing a sudden dark color. The slow ones were like Wusun Tong, still ignorant.
Tang Zhao was suddenly enlightened and repeated in his heart: Among this group of people, Tang Zhao is the oldest in the world. Adding the two from Liangzhou, it still applies.
Che Sha and the others were not like Jiang Shenyi who stayed in the mountains all the time. They still had experience, but their behavior was all the same as outside the Great Wall. If they could be good at identifying natural disasters, Liangzhou obviously didn't have any illegal shops.
In fact, Tang Zhao has never seen a black shop. Although he has read a few more books and knows some anecdotes about the world, it is impossible for him to know how to distinguish Mongolian sweat medicine. But after all, he had stayed at the Black Spider Villa, a direct descendant of the Five Poison Society, and he had also spent time to prevent people from poisoning. He could prevent those poisons, even the Mongolian sweat medicine.
This is called having too many arts without stressing over oneself.
But even if Tang Zhao couldn't tell the difference, it wouldn't be a big deal if he took the Mongolian sweat medicine. People with strong internal strength have strong resistance, and ordinary Mongolian sweat medicine is just a breather. On the other hand, the two of them from Liangzhou practiced Kung Fu away from home. They trained their muscles and bones well, but they couldn't prevent themselves from being exposed to the sweat medicine.
Che Sha turned the bowl in her hand and said, "Is it better to listen to big brother this time?" She was not angry at all, but eager to give it a try.
Just as Tang Zhao was about to speak, the landlady brought out a plate of meat with a smile, placed it on the table, and said, "Young guests, please try our braised pork."
This plate of meat was fragrant with red oil and soy sauce, and several of them had been hungry for a long time. Even though they knew that nothing in this black shop was allowed to be eaten, they still couldn't help but swallow.
Tang Zhao was thinking about how to do it. He poked the meat unconsciously with the chopsticks in his hand. Suddenly his expression changed and he asked, "What kind of meat is this?"
The landlady smiled sweetly and said, "Young Master, have you never seen it before? This is our family's secret beef, which has just been sauced."
Tang Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "No..."
Jiang Shenyi thought about it carefully, his face turned green, and the hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.
Tang Zhao was still thinking about how to deal with the black shop, but at this time he just felt his stomach churning and had no time to think. He raised his hands, overturned the table, and shouted: "Do it!"
Several teenagers jumped up and started banging things in the store. The proprietress shouted: "Come on -" before she could finish her words, she was kicked in the face by Tang Zhao and fell into the counter.
They snatched two men from the back kitchen, each with a big body and a round waist, and came to kill them with a boning knife. Wusuntong and Chesha each dealt with one of them. After a few moves with swords and swords, it was obvious that these men were good at martial arts and had greater strength. The knife danced like a tiger, and it was able to defeat Wusuntong and the others in two moves.
Jiang Shenyi picked up a wine jar nearby and hit a waiter on the head, smashing it to pieces. The waiter fell forward and hit the Shasha knife. The other one was swept into the leg by Tang Zhao with a stool. He staggered slightly and was stabbed by Wusuntong, who also fell to the ground.
The landlady got up with a groan, and shouted: "Where did you come from, you wild bastard..." Wusuntong hit him with a knife, and the landlady picked up the wine jar and smashed it to pieces with a crash.
At this time, the four people had their hands free and gathered around with weapons in hand. The woman immediately shut up and got into the counter.
Just as Tang Zhao was about to chop her and the counter into pieces, he heard someone shouting: "I can't do it. All heroes, please spare her. I have something to say."
Several people turned around and saw a big man with purple face rushing into the store. He also had the face of a tiger and the eyes of a leopard. He was very unusual. He bowed first and said: "It's my fault that my wife has eyesight but doesn't recognize Mount Tai. It's her fault." . For the sake of justice, all heroes, please spare her once."
Tang Zhao said coldly: "Who are you?"
The big man clasped his fists and said: "The little man Chang Wu is originally from Songhun County. He and his family opened a small shop in Halongpo, Wusu County, and also engaged in Jianghu business. I have told her before that you must have a discerning eye to do this business. , Don’t neglect the heroes of the Jianghu. She always knows how to advance and retreat, and she will never attack her fellow Jianghu. I don’t want to offend you all today. It’s because she is short-sighted and just for the sake of villains, forgive me..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a popping sound, and a wind cutter flew over. The big man rushed to the side, stabbed, and made a big gash in his chest. Blood was dripping from his chest. If he had been a little slower, he would have been disemboweled.
Jiang Shenyi sneered and said, "What the hell are you talking about? What kind of face do you have?"
The big man was shocked and angry. He spoke according to the rules of Lingzhou's martial arts world, so he was given enough face. As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Generally, a good man would raise his hand after hearing this, but he didn't expect that he met a few raw melons and eggs. Eat this set. At this time, according to the procedure, he should have turned his back and started to take action, but at that moment, the antelope actually hung its horns, leaving no trace. He didn’t even know what kind of weapon it was that hurt him. Knowing that he couldn’t afford to offend him, he kept saying: “You heroes, I’ll wait for you. We are all fellow warriors, why should we fight to the death? My husband and I have always known etiquette and never harmed the lives of our husband and wife. Wealthy businessmen and fat sheep come and go, and everyone eats them. Do I need to wait for a bite? The villain has no face, and the pheasant of a hundred roosters crows at the banquet. I have three points of face..."
As soon as Tang Zhao stretched out his hand, he already held the sword in his hand. However, it was not the commonly used Lihuo sword, but a wooden sword. It was the heavy weapon he used to practice swordsmanship. He said, "I'll come. You guys go to the kitchen and have a look."
Jiang Shenyi made a walking gesture, then suddenly waved his hand, and a gust of wind cut through him, including the proprietress behind the counter.
The big man was frightened and angry. He drew out his knife and rushed over. He heard a bang, and something passed by sideways, sending him flying like a top. He fell to the ground, but he saw the most elegant young man carrying a wooden stick. The sword came over and struck him head and face.
Back then, when Tang Zhao was held hostage in the dungeon, he beat the lone robber violently with a wooden sword. His anger was still the same as before, but he was not as out of control. After all, there is no need to lose control when strength changes.
I saw where the wooden stick was being struck, and there was a strong wind, which made the big man fly around in the shop, and the last blow of the stick hit the wall. The wall was not strong either. With a crash, it collapsed and buried the big man.
When the wall collapsed, the kitchen at the back was immediately exposed. Two people were seen hanging on the wall, their limbs removed, and they were bloody like animals. There were large pieces of red meat piled on the chopping board, with half of the bones removed. The whole room was filled with an unspeakable fishy smell.
Jiang Shenyi and other young men who came in first stared blankly at the wall with distorted expressions. Che Sha covered her mouth and said, "I almost... almost ate..."
Jiang Shenyi's facial features were ferocious. He stretched out his hand with a strong energy, like a big hand, and moved the collapsed wall away. He dragged out the dying Chang Wu and threw him on the chopping board. Wusuntong next to him picked up the boning knife and stabbed his neck with it. Cut it like vegetables.
Tang Zhao exhaled and said: "There is no need to imitate those beasts and burn down the shop with all the people involved. It will be considered purified."
Wusuntong groaned for a moment and said: "These thieves all love to eat cockcrow feasts. Sooner or later I will drown the bandit leader in the cockcrow spring so that he can only crow forever."
Tang Zhao said: "This method is good."
Several people looked around, and Che Sha dragged a person out from under the case and said, "There are still people here!"
It turned out to be a young girl, tied up like a rice dumpling, unconscious.
It seems that she also took the sweat medicine from this store. The reason why it was not hung on the wall and removed is probably because the girl is still in her prime. Although she looked like an ordinary village girl based on her appearance, she was at least a bit pretty, but she was still valuable after all. She could get a lot of money by selling it in a dirty place.
Those who run illegal shops also engage in human trafficking, and there are no rules on the road that cannot be violated. They are really going to graves and burning newspapers - they are fooling the devil.
Since they met by chance, she was considered lucky. Tang Zhao asked Che Sha to help her outside, and he and others took out the grease accumulated in the store. Without thinking about where it came from, Tang Zhao poured it all into the kitchen and lit the fire.
In a short time, the fire was raging and the black shop was burned to the ground.
Che Sha said: "Wherever we go and wherever we destroy, sooner or later we will attract the attention of the thieves, right?"
Jiang Shenyi said: "Can you blame us? It's their fault for having too many thieves. The ground is covered with dog poop and there's nowhere to put your feet. I haven't blamed him for dirtying my shoes."
Tang Zhao reminded: "Don't take it lightly. All we encounter are small thieves, so it is relatively easy to solve them. But Baixiong Mountain can dominate a state, there must be real strong people in the thieves' den, and maybe even the branch villages under it There are all swordsmen.”
Although I don’t want to use this analogy, just like the guardians of the Provincial Department are all swordsmen, most of these cottages in various counties are also the same.
In this day and age, no one with any ability is unable to stand firm. The head of a powerful force must be the strongest. Tang Zhao had never seen the strength of the Lord of Yunzhou, Gao Yuanhou, and the inspectors were already swordsmen at the level of inspector. He can still compete with the swordsman by relying on his imitation, but there is really nothing the swordsman can do. The Jiandi Division is only one of the forces under Gao Yuanhou, and there are more masters in the regular army. Of course, Baixiong Mountain cannot be compared with the serious princes, but he can suppress a state and become a local overlord. How can he not have swordsmen under his command? He himself must be at least a level one swordsman.
Talisman swordsman is a valuable profession, but it is not a profession used for fighting, especially not good at encounters. Tang Zhao also reminded everyone that killing a few thieves does not mean that they can run rampant in Lingzhou.
"Rather than fighting against the thief, let's first think about where we will eat and rest today. Is there any food in this damn place that I can safely eat and a bed that I can sleep in safely?"
