When we got to the dinner table, the old man was really rude and took the main seat. Then, without waiting for others to sit down, he picked up a piece of venison with his chopsticks and started chewing it.
Then he picked up the wine Tang Ping poured for him, took a sip and said, "This wine of yours is indeed good!"
Pei Min sat next to him, looked at his hand holding the cup and asked, "Have you practiced?"
The old man also glanced at Old Man Pei, and then said lightly: "I can't beat you."
Tang Ping was stunned and asked Pei Min in a low voice: "Is this a master?"
"Tall fart, didn't you hear him say he couldn't beat me?" Pei Min said disdainfully.
Tang Ping was speechless. Anyone who can beat you is called a master in this world. Can there be any masters?
The old man seemed to have been hungry for a long time. He finished his dinner in a hurry. He drunkenly said "Don't mess up the room" and went back to his room to sleep.
After the old man left, Tang Ping looked at Shanbei's eldest brother Wang and asked, "Is this old man Hui Ri, the pharmacist?"
At the foot of Juanji Mountain, a man with extraordinary conversational skills who could be noticed by Pei Min couldn't possibly be an unknown person, right?
And in this small Juanji Mountain, besides the pharmacist Huiri, could there be another famous person who lives in seclusion?
Shanbei's eldest brother, Wang, hesitated and said: "It seems... not quite..."
"Didn't you say he is your teacher? Why can't your teacher recognize him?" Tang Ping asked depressedly.
"Isn't that more than ten years ago? And...and..." Brother Shanbei muttered.
"And what?"
"And I didn't dare to look up at him back then. More than ten years have passed. How can I remember what he looks like?"
"You!" Tang Ping pointed at him and finally gave up: "Forget it, go to sleep first."
Last night, he controlled a drone to find someone in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion, and then went back to modern times to find someone to forge the City Lord's Letter of Appointment. After a day of running, he was already tired.
I fell asleep with my head on the pillow.
Tang Ping also got up early the next day.
After leaving the door, Xiao Luo gave Tang Ping the toiletries she had prepared.
"You boy, you really know how to enjoy it." The old man's mocking words came from the side.
Tang Ping didn't care at all, and after washing himself, he asked: "I stayed at the old gentleman's house for one night, and I still don't know what to call him?"
"Hahaha, do you think I am Huiri, the pharmacist?" The old man did not answer Tang Ping's question directly, but asked rhetorically.
"Isn't this... old gentleman?"
"Didn't I say it before? I don't know Medicine Master Huiri, how can anyone not know me?"
"Yes!" Tang Ping acted rogue: "Sometimes I don't recognize myself."
The old man rolled his eyes at him: "I am indeed not the pharmacist Huiri, but you guessed right, I know him."
Tang Ping was delighted: "Can you please tell me where he is?"
This Juanji mountain is so big, if you want to find someone on the mountain, if you don't have someone familiar to guide you, you may have to find it.
"No!" Unexpectedly, the old man refused directly. Before Tang Ping could ask why, he said it himself: "Because he is a scoundrel and a liar just like you. I hate such people the most in my life."
"Old sir, don't you know that people call me an honest and trustworthy man?" Tang Ping asked, pointing to his face.
The old man looked at Tang Ping with an expression that made you believe it or not.
"Okay, since the old gentleman admitted to knowing the pharmacist Huiri, what conditions are required for him to be able to show me the way?"
The old man denied knowing the pharmacist Huiri yesterday, but now he admitted that he knew him, but did not tell him the specific location. It was obvious that he wanted to negotiate terms.
"You kid, you're much smarter than that fool." The old man looked at Shanbei Brother Wang who was being chased and beaten by Old Cui and Lao Du outside.
It wasn't that the two of them wanted to bully him, but that he came to him himself hoping that the two of them could teach him about martial arts.
She and Tang Ping sat face to face at the stone table in front of the yard. Xiaoluo poured tea for both of them and stepped aside.
"Tell me, your true identity, and why are you looking for pharmacist Huiri?" The old man stretched out his fingers and scratched his face gently: "I am an old man who has no other skills, but I still have a way to tell whether a person is lying. . If you lied to me, then don’t blame me for lying to you."
Tang Ping and the old man looked at each other, then smiled and said, "Really?"
The old man also smiled and said: "When I was young, people called me an honest and trustworthy young man."
Tang Ping was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Old sir, you...you won."
After that, he said seriously: "I am Tang Ping, Duke of Tang Ping. I came to Fuso because you have a large gold and silver mine in Fuso. We are willing to develop it together with you. But the political scene in Fuso in Nara is too complicated now. It is not conducive to our cooperation, so we plan to support him..."
Tang Ping pointed to the elder brother Yamabei who had been pushed to the ground in the distance and said: "Prince Yamabei has ascended to the throne of the emperor."
What Tang Ping said is true. He will mine it for fifty years and then return it to Fuso. Isn't it also a joint development?
As for the fact that they came to track down the forces behind Faceless, he didn't tell them, and it wasn't considered a lie.
The old man looked at Tang Ping for a long time, nodded and said, "I didn't expect that Tang Ping would be so powerful."
Tang Ping looked at the nostalgic look on his face and asked doubtfully: "Have you been to the Tang Dynasty?"
"I have been there. At that time, your Majesty was still a young man about the same age as you are now. He had just followed his father to raise troops from Taiyuan." The old man fell into memories: "I didn't expect how long it had been? The Tang Dynasty had already unified the Central Plains. It has already reached Fuso."
Tang Ping was slightly startled. This old man had obviously been to the Tang Dynasty, so he was probably one of the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty. And at the foot of Juanji Mountain, wasn't he really Hui Ri, the pharmacist?
"Dare you ask the old gentleman's name?" Tang Ping asked: "Is the old gentleman really not the pharmacist Huiri?"
"Humph, I've already said it, Medicine Master Huiri is a hypocrite, a scoundrel, and a liar!" the old man said angrily.
At this moment, a voice came from the distance: "Fart you xxx!"
Tang Ping looked and saw another old man coming down from the mountain, cursing and walking over.
After seeing the reactions of the two people just now, Tang Ping understood that the real owner was here.
"Mita Inugami, you are like a dog-skin plaster with the same name as you, a bastard who refuses to admit defeat."
"You won that one time, can you count it as a win? Do you dare to admit it?"
"Why doesn't it count? I strategize and move the chess better. If I win, I win. Is there anything I dare not admit?"
Tang Ping did not expect that when the pharmacist Hui Ri came down from the mountain, he and the old man named Inugami Mita would have a quarrel like a comet hitting the earth.
Isn't it said that he is a highly respected scholar and a reclusive celebrity?
Why is he no different from the old man who competes for a dance partner while doing square dancing on Cultural and Creative Street?
