Near noon, the sleepy Zhao Xiaotian spoke for the first time: "Donor Yu, when will dinner be served?"
"..."
Yu Xiaowei's pretty eyebrows wrinkled slightly, is her relationship a waste?
Thinking of his terrifying strength, he changed his smile and said, "Taoist master, don't worry, there is a wine shop less than ten miles ahead."
Zhao Zhengli responded and began to meditate.
Yu Xiaowei frowned and asked, "Does the Taoist Master have any strategies to break the situation in Shu?"
Zhao Tianren was startled: "Didn't Senior Brother, the leader, say that? Let Xiaodao push across the rivers and lakes of Shu County and force out the trump card of the prefect of Zhizhou. Then your court will take action."
Yu Xiaowei nodded: "We parted ways at the Shilipo Wine Shop in front of us. There was a group of Jianghu people my father had summoned in advance. The Taoist priest followed them to fight against the gangsters and stir up trouble in the Jianghu."
Zhao Zhengli looked sideways at the beautiful woman and said: "Of course I understand that there must be no insiders in the gangster methods. You just need to be more careful in collecting evidence from behind."
Yu Xiaowei turned around and saw a pair of eyes as beautiful as her own, staring blankly at her: "How do you know?"
Daochang Zhao spread his hands: "Isn't this the rule?"
"..."
Yu Xiaowei stopped talking, maybe because she was angry.
There was no conversation all the way, only the sound of horse hooves and axles could be heard. Zhao Zhengli sometimes meditated, and sometimes looked sideways at the scenery outside. He was obviously not as good-looking as the beauty in the Luan sedan, so he alternated between admiring the two.
The road was also winding and rugged, and some sections were too narrow, almost driving on a cliff. He figured out why food in coastal areas such as Guangdong and Guangxi was so expensive.
Shilipo is said to be a slope, but in fact it is a mountain valley, just located on the ridge of the mountain.
This place used to be a black shop. Seven or eight years ago, a disciple of the Jianghu sect was robbed and killed, and then the elder of that sect came to the door and took over. Because it was located on an important road, that sect took over the place and became one of the few taverns in Shu.
Today's Shilipo wine shop cannot be said to be fair and beneficial to the people. It can only be regarded as slightly better than the black shop. At least it will not harm people's lives. The things are a bit expensive, but those who are willing to take the bait are not forced to buy or sell. .
When the group arrived at Shilipo, the sun began to set to the west. The wine shop was very lively, with all kinds of people gathered, mostly people from rivers and lakes. A wooden three-story restaurant and a stone house courtyard were built on the mountain col, surrounded by stone walls and sentry towers, with " The banner of "Shilipo Tavern" is very eye-catching on this deserted mountain road.
As the Yu family entered the wine shop, people from all walks of life looked sideways in silence. The luxurious Luan sedan, the armored knights with cold and neat steps, and all kinds of bright swords, guns, swords and halberds. At a glance, this lineup clearly belongs to the official family.
The shopkeeper quickly ushered the fleet into the inner courtyard. The waiter unloaded the sedan chair and took away the five-flowered horse. Li Zhanyi led Zhao Zhengli into the private room prepared in advance. Yu Xiaowei and the armored knight entered another courtyard, apparently to distance themselves in advance. .
There were more than a dozen Jianghu people gathered in the private room. Li Zhanyi introduced Taoist priest Zhao Zhengli. Then everyone focused their attention on the young Taoist priest who was wearing Taoist robes. He was so fair and delicate, and no one had a strange look in his eyes. He didn't say anything on the surface, just simple. Give it up and treat it as acquaintance.
Daochang Zhao returned the gift with his hand and looked at more than a dozen people in the arena. There were five big and three thick men with sticks, skinny monkeys with double hooks, and the only normal ones were a few men with swords and swords. Daochang Zhao was surprised that there were two women at the end. , even though they were wearing veils, Shan Cong and the others could tell from their eyes that they were decisive and killing people.
After introducing Li Zhanyi, he invited everyone to take their seats, and then told the waiter that he had enough wine and meat, so he closed the door and left.
Zhao Zhengli didn't show any politeness, found a seat and sat down to enjoy the meal with everyone.
When he spotted a piece of chicken drumstick and twisted his chopsticks, a strong man snatched it away from him. The young Daochang Zhao grinned and passed by, picked up another drumstick and was snatched away by another thin man.
He still grinned kindly, but he felt a little unhappy. These people in the world were so unruly that they had to steal food?
When he was confused, a middle-aged man spoke to him: "Is the little Taoist master afraid that he doesn't understand the rules of the world? Naturally, when we meet for the first time, we have to show off our skills to see if we are qualified to sit together and drink together?"
Young Zhao Zhengli also came forward after hearing this. So it turns out that the Jianghu system is based on seniority just like the Shanmen?
Then he gave a Taoist salute to everyone: "Asking for advice!"
After saying that, he twisted his chopsticks and took out the chicken legs on the table. The strong man wanted to snatch it again, but Daochang Zhao exerted force on his wrist. The strong man felt his fingers shake violently, and the chopsticks fell off without control.
The middle-aged man thought that the strong man had deliberately let go of the water, so he reached out with chopsticks and tried his best to snatch it from the air. However, the opponent was as steady as a rock, and no matter how much energy he poured into him, he could not pull it back.
I just saw the other party put the chicken legs back into the bowl very easily and naturally.
The middle-aged man looked at the fair and handsome face and gradually showed a horrified expression, because he could see that there was no effort in reading the other person's face.
The people around the dinner table were also dignified. They naturally knew the strength of the middle-aged man and the strong man. One of them was good at swordsmanship, and the other was good at wielding sticks. The two of them were also good at Qi, but they couldn't stop them when they met a young Taoist priest. The key point was that the Taoist priest didn't use any of his true energy from beginning to end.
Judging from the realm alone, the middle-aged man and the strong man are around the middle level of the Little Grandmaster, and can be regarded as the mainstay in the world. Looking at the young Taoist priest easily picking up the chicken legs, it is estimated that the realm is at least the upper level or the peak of the Little Grandmaster.
They also boldly thought about being a grandmaster, but quickly rejected it, because the difference between a minor grandmaster and a grandmaster is vastly different in terms of realm. They require a deeper understanding and appreciation of the "Tao".
Some people stay at the level of a small master all their lives because they have a wrong understanding of the Tao. They don't think that this young Taoist priest can understand any deep Tao. At best, he can only be considered to be at the peak of the small master. However, he is still a monster. After all, he is too You are young. In the next few decades, you will have enough time to become a master who is unique among ten thousand, understand the great way, and operate the majestic true energy.
Only then did the skinny man come out to smooth things over: "Meeting each other means we are destined to meet each other, and we have good skills along the way."
"You're welcome, eat quickly! The food is cold."
The young Taoist priest Zhao was not at ease. He grinned and kindly bowed his hands to everyone, and then invited everyone to eat.
The way everyone looked at him changed subtly.
To everyone's surprise, the young Taoist Zhao was not averse to wine and meat. He ate harder than a strong man and drank like a whale devouring cattle. It was so enjoyable.
Seeing this, the strong man picked up the wine bowl and toasted to him: "The Taoist priest is handsome and good at martial arts, and his eating and drinking are not like those cow-nosed and bald donkeys who pretend to be pretentious. I just lost my eyesight. I am here to apologize with wine." , Lao Yue, I’ve done it.”
After saying that, the strong man drank all the wine in one gulp, Daochang Zhao chewed the meat in his mouth, drank from the wine bowl in his hand, and drank the wine and meat together.
Another thin man also raised his bowl: "Taoist priest, we are getting acquainted for the first time, but when I eat and drink with you, you can tell that you are a sweetheart. I, Qiu Laosan, also give you a bowl."
Taoist priest Zhao still swallowed in response.
The middle-aged man who had just snatched the chicken drumstick from him also offered a drink to apologize and build a closer relationship.
The atmosphere was intensified as several people pushed cups and changed cups. The two women were eating quietly and gracefully without being affected by the people at all.
After three rounds of wine and five tastes of meat, everyone was full one after another. The young Taoist priest Zhao and the strong man Lao Yue insisted on eating and drinking until the end. It was understandable that Lao Yue was a tall man and had a lot of wine and meat, but the handsome and fair young Taoist priest Zhao didn't look like him at all. Can you eat and drink? But at the end of the meal, he was no less hungry than the strong man Lao Yue. His appetite was truly astonishing.
After eating and drinking happily, everyone stayed at the wine shop that night, waiting to officially start the mission the next day.
