It was originally a one person trip, but now it has become a threesome.
Two men from all walks of life ran ahead on horseback, laughing loudly from time to time, or waving back, their strong smell of alcohol drifting away in the wind.
Yu Ye jogged his horse and followed behind. Seeing the drunken state of the two brothers, he couldn't tell whether it was helplessness or curiosity, he could only shake his head secretly.
I have met people in the world before, such as Feng Laoqi, Jiang Xiong, or Zhong Jian, all of whom are smart and strong people. The Tianbao and Renliang they met today seemed to value the loyalty of the world more. They actually regarded him as a good brother who had the same spirit and invited him to go to Chenling Mountain to hunt for treasure together for a jar of old wine.
He wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it for a while, Yu Ye agreed.
One is on the way, passing by Chenling Mountain. Furthermore, the two brothers are real Jianghu people, traveling together with each other so that he can hide his identity.
In addition, blindly escaping and avoiding is not a long-term solution. He also wanted to know the current situation in the world and the movements of Bu Yi and the group of Qizhou monks.
On the dusty road, three horses raced away...
…
At dusk, a canyon appeared ahead.
After passing the canyon, the terrain suddenly opened up. On the right is a big river with rapids; on the left is a large number of houses at the foot of the mountain, where Chenling Town is located; more than ten miles to the south is Chenling Mountain, where you can see the afterglow of the setting sun. Below, there are towering mountains, numerous peaks, and an extraordinary atmosphere.
"Haha, for a lucky break, you and my brother will stay in this inn!"
There is a big courtyard at the south end of the town. The flag of "Jubao Inn" hangs on the flagpole in front of the courtyard gate.
The name of the inn is "Jubao", which is similar to the name of Tianbao. The so-called luck is also a wish for good luck.
Yu Ye followed the brothers into the yard.
The guest rooms of the inn are located on the east and north sides, the concierge and the wine shop are on the west side, and the stables are located at the south end of the yard, where twenty or thirty healthy horses have been parked.
The three of them requested a guest room.
According to Tianbao, the inn was already full of people from all walks of life, and there was only one room left. Besides, when you go hunting for treasures in the mountains late at night, you just need a place to rest. As for why he went to the mountain late at night, it was said that the vision in Chenling Mountain only appeared at night.
It was getting late, lanterns were hung in the courtyard of the inn, a fire was lit, and a dozen tables were placed around it.
Dozens of gangsters were either sitting around drinking or laughing loudly together.
The three of them occupied a table and ordered a jar of wine, three large pots of meat, and a pile of cakes.
Tianbao and Renliang love drinking and cannot live without wine. Yu Ye had no choice but to bite the bullet and accompany him, and then secretly used his cultivation to eliminate the alcohol's power.
There are as many as thirty or forty people in the Jubao Inn, with different ages, different looks and clothing, and different accents from all over the world. They should all come here to hunt for treasures.
Is there really a treasure hidden in Chenling Mountain?
While drinking and eating meat, Yu Ye quietly dispersed his consciousness. Although there were many people in the courtyard and it was noisy, no monks were found.
"Ha ha--"
A group of people gathered around the table next door, stamping their feet and shaking their fists and shouting from time to time. There were a few dominoes and scattered silver on the table in the middle.
A bunch of guys have nothing to do and are gathering people to make money.
There are village rules in Yujia Village, and clan members are not allowed to play with money. I remember that Yu Baoshan was punished by his third grandfather to kneel in the ancestral hall for a whole day and a night because he was cheating with money.
Yu Ye looked around at the situation and couldn't help but think of the past.
When Tianbao saw the money being played, he was already itching. When he was full and full, he dropped the wine bowl, laughed, got up and went over.
"Damn it, I'm also playing tricks!"
How could Renliang be willing to lag behind? He was also eager to give it a try.
The gamblers were still in the excitement, no matter how hard the two brothers pushed and pushed, no one would give in.
Tianbao became anxious, stretched out his hand to grab one person and threw him out. Taking advantage of the situation, he squeezed into the crowd, took out a piece of silver and slapped it on the table, shouting: "I've got it, go ahead..."
"Wow--"
Tianbao was busy making money, but the person he threw out knocked over the stool, and then hit the table where Yu Ye was sitting.
Yu Ye hurriedly reached out to block the table and helped the fallen person up.
But the person he was supporting became furious and jumped to his feet and said: "Who is so impudent? I just won a prize..." Before he could finish his words, he turned back and scolded: "Boy, let go——"
Yu Ye let go of his hand, slightly stunned.
Such a manic gambler is actually an old man. Although his beard and hair are gray, he has not changed his bad habits.
At such an old age, he is still wandering around the world?
Well, it can be called an old man!
But he saw Lao Jianghu rushing towards the crowd with all his strength.
Yu Ye was a little worried.
The old man has a bad temper, and Tianbao is not a good person. Once the two sides conflict, he is afraid that his thin body will not be able to withstand the punches and kicks.
Unexpectedly, the old man squeezed into the crowd, turned around and stepped back. He grabbed the two broken pieces of silver in his hand and said with a proud smile: "Hey, your luck is not bad tonight!"
Yu Ye shook his head and was speechless.
Lao Jianghu is not only fond of gambling, but also greedy for money!
"Bring me some wine—"
The old man did not leave, but took the stool and sat down, saying hello to Yu Ye. Yu Ye, wearing a bamboo hat and lowering his head, ignored it at all. He simply reached out and grabbed the wine jar on the table and glared: "I don't know how to respect the elderly. I am too young to see!"
This is the tone of scolding a junior!
Not only do you want to grab a drink, but you still rely on your old age to show off your old age. Why?
Yu Ye raised his head and glanced.
The old man glared again, stretched out his hand and patted his waist, and said aggressively: "Boy, are you not convinced? Do you want to give me a try and let me teach you how to behave!"
He had a small knife stuck in his waist, which was good at cutting meat. It was a bit reluctant to use it to scare people.
"Hey!"
Yu Ye couldn't help grinning in amusement, shaking his head and saying, "Why do you have to do this at such an old age?"
"snort!"
The old man didn't appreciate it, and reprimanded him: "Huh, don't you think that a glass of wine will last for thousands of years, and the old man will never return to the world. You know nothing, stop minding other people's business!" He put the wine jar under his arm, stood up and left with a flourish of his sleeves. And before walking too far, we found another table to eat and drink.
Yu Ye sat alone at the table, looking at the noisy scene in the yard. He couldn't help but put his feet up on the stool, picked up half a bowl of remaining wine and drank it all in one gulp.
"call--"
There was no movement technique, but a burning sensation penetrated the internal organs. As he breathed heavily from the wine, there was an inexplicable sense of joy in his soul?
Yu Ye put down the wine bowl and thought about it carefully.
Although I felt inexplicably happy, I still couldn't taste the taste of wine. But what the old man said just now was very touching.
A glass of wine will last forever...
"Damn it, you're so brave -"
At this time, Tianbao suddenly started to quarrel with others. He grabbed a lean man, pulled out a domino from his sleeve and signaled to everyone: "Look, brothers, this man is cheating..." and the other party suddenly broke away. , actually pulled out a knife and stabbed him in the chest, and cursed viciously: "If you mind your own business, I will stab you to death!"
Tianbao didn't expect it, and it was difficult to avoid it for a while. Ren Liang, who was beside him, had quick eyes and quick hands. He grabbed the knife and thrust it into the lean man's shoulder. The other party howled and took a few steps back, then reached out and pulled out the bloody knife.
At the same time, three other men ran over with knives.
Seeing that the situation was not good, everyone who was playing money moved back one after another.
In the blink of an eye, the lean man and his companions had surrounded Tianbao and Renliang. Unwilling to show weakness, the two brothers each drew out their personal daggers.
More people from all walks of life gathered around to watch and cheer, and some people sat down on stools, holding wine bowls and eating meat, eagerly waiting for a bloody fight.
The lean man covered his shoulders and spat bitterly: "Bah——"
His three companions understood and rushed forward with their swords raised.
Tianbao and Renliang stood side by side, looking a little flustered.
The two brothers were alone and weak, and the daggers they held were not cheap. It seemed that they were going to suffer a big loss tonight.
Seeing that a life-and-death fight was inevitable, someone suddenly said:
"stop!"
The words were spoken softly, but there was no doubt about it.
The three men with knives were already murderous and did not pay any attention to them. Another ear-piercing scream was heard——
"stop!"
At this time, not only the three men, but also the Tianbao brothers and everyone present were staring with surprise.
I saw the lean man standing frozen on the spot, with a long sword pressed against his neck. He was so frightened that he did not dare to move, and shouted with a look of horror on his face:
"Three brothers, stop it quickly!"
The person holding the sword was a man wearing a bamboo hat, standing quietly behind him, the long sword in his hand flashing with a terrifying cold light.
The three men with swords looked at each other and had no choice but to put away their swords and retreat.
The man wearing a bamboo hat also put away his sword in time.
The lean man hurriedly took a few steps away and turned to look at the person behind him, but he only saw a bamboo hat and a sheathed long sword. He nodded silently and walked away with his three companions.
"Oh, it's really boring!"
"Damn it, we didn't start a fight..."
"Brothers, drink, drink..."
The excitement was gone, and everyone present was disappointed.
However, Tianbao and Renliang were very excited and pulled the man wearing a bamboo hat back to the table to sit down.
"Brother Yu, you are really loyal!"
"Well, those who dare to step forward and fight for their lives at the most dangerous moment are the good brothers who are willing to risk everything!"
"It's just that we left the long knives in the guest room and didn't bring them out, otherwise it would have made that guy look good! He was trying to make money instead of cheating, but he dared to break the rules. And Brother Yu also said, how could he go around behind someone without being noticed? Woolen cloth……"
"Brother, you and I offer a bowl of wine to each other!"
"As it should be, hey, where's the wine jar..."
A group of gangsters continued to drink and have fun in the yard. As the night got darker, they dispersed and walked out of the inn in twos and threes.
Yu Ye and the Tianbao brothers returned to the guest room to tidy up for a while, and then walked out of the yard under the night. Their respective mounts stayed in the inn.
It is reported that the terrain in the mountains is so steep that they can only abandon their horses and walk.
When we arrived outside the courtyard, a bright moon hung in the sky. The faint moonlight shrouded the distant mountains, and everything was hazy.
Yu Ye looked at the bright moon in the sky, and then looked back at the small town at the foot of the mountain and by the river.
Groups of people emerged from several inns in the town...
