(); "First come five roast chickens and ten pounds of braised beef. I'll wait for the rest."
Lin Mo smelled the aroma of braised meat coming from the back kitchen, moved his index finger and said.
"By the way, what kind of wine do you have here?"
Drinking wine and eating meat, drinking wine is inevitable when you come to a restaurant.
The waiter took out a small notebook and took notes while saying:
"The best one we sell here is of course Erjin Zui. It is bought from Shunxi Tavern in Qingfeng County. It is brewed by Linggu. It is guaranteed to have the original flavor and not be overcooked at all."
"Linggu? What is Linggu?"
Lin Mo was stunned and asked.
"Your guest is a foreigner at first glance, right?" The waiter smiled and introduced in a soft voice,
"Linggu is green rice. It is a good thing grown in the spiritual fields. Long-term consumption can nourish blood, strengthen muscles and bones, and its effect is comparable to tonics. Therefore, the Erjinzui brewed is not only soft and mellow in the mouth, but also It has a long aftertaste and is not harmful to the body.”
"Oh? Has Qingfeng County started rebuilding spiritual fields?" Lin Mo suddenly became interested.
"Rebuilding spiritual fields? We don't know about this, but Zhou Shengjun, Feng and the Changfeng Escort Bureau in the city have indeed opened up several spiritual fields outside the city to grow green rice."
The waiter said softly.
"Okay, let's take two kilograms and four bowls of mung bean soup."
Lin Mo didn't know what to ask. He saw the iced mung bean soup on the table next to him and ordered it as well.
"Okay! What else does your guest want to bring?"
Seeing that he was a big customer, the waiter smiled happily.
Lin Mo asked and looked at Lin's father and others. Seeing that they all shook their heads, he tapped the table with his fingers.
"So be it."
"Okay! Chenghui, ten taels of silver."
The price is indeed relatively expensive, but considering the location of this restaurant, it is acceptable.
Lin Mo happily gave the money.
In fact, in today's world, those who dare to travel long distances are a bit heavy-handed, at least not short of money.
People who are really short of money and really have no strength can't go that far.
After all, the mountain bandits and wild beasts are everywhere along the way. If you are not strong, you can only seek death.
The food arrived soon.
The first dishes were roast chicken and braised beef.
It tastes really good, the marinade is very tasty, and the color is waxy yellow.
After that, boiled peanuts, fried soybeans, and fried gnocchi were all served, and it was obvious that everything was done with care.
The last one served was the rumored Erjin drunk brewed by Linggu.
After being served, it is actually not much different from ordinary wine, except that the color is indeed clearer and the aroma is richer.
The dishes were all served, and after using a special poison testing powder to check that there were no problems, Lin Mo and others started to eat.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Eating delicious meat, drinking ice-cold mung bean soup, and refreshing wine can be said to be extremely comfortable.
The sun is scorching outside and the breeze is blowing inside.
While eating meat and drinking wine, Lin Mo sat in the tavern with his ears pricked up and subconsciously began to collect information.
Naturally, the most sources of information are the rangers who act like they have no control over their mouths when they start drinking.
Of course, most of what he said was trash talk. Two of the three sentences were related to women, and the rest were of some value.
Through their conversation, Lin Mo finally knew the origins of these rangers.
This group of people are all from Jianning County, next to Ningyang County.
Because the two major forces in Jianning County were about to fight, they started to clean up the situation in advance, so they fled together and planned to go to Huaiping.
Just talking about the route, a group of people were heading in the same direction as Lin Mo and others.
Sure enough, nowhere is safe.
Lin Mo sighed secretly.
At this moment, his ears suddenly twitched and he subconsciously raised his head to look outside the store.
There was a sound of dense footsteps, and then, a strong middle-aged man wearing black clothes and a white face without beard appeared at the door and looked into the store.
As if seeing someone, his eyes really lit up, he strode in and stood directly in front of the old Taoist's table.
As soon as he walked in, a large number of people in the same clothes gathered behind him. It looked like there were nearly twenty people, blocking the door, vaguely blocking everyone's escape route.
The originally relaxed atmosphere in the store suddenly changed.
The rangers who were still laughing and cursing at first grasped the equipment on the table tightly; a group of guards beside the ladies also had solemn expressions on their faces, staring at the door, and whispering to the woman from time to time.
Lin Mo raised his head and glanced at Father Lin, and saw that he shook his head slightly, indicating not to act rashly for the time being. He also calmed down, with no wave on his face. He gently held the hand of Lin Shu, who was fidgeting with anxiety, and waited patiently. Things develop.
At this time, the waiter who was settling accounts at the front desk also looked ugly, but under pressure, he ran over with a smile and walked up to the middle-aged man to ask about the situation.
The middle-aged man was very imposing. He stood in front of the Taoist's table with his hands behind his back. He was not in the mood to speak, but just stared at the Taoist and his entourage.
However, the old Taoist looked like he was fine. He continued to drink and eat meat, and from time to time he would pick up vegetables for the two children beside him. He looked calm, as if he had never seen such a big scene.
More than ten breaths passed like this.
The middle-aged man who had been silent for a long time sighed and suddenly knelt down on one knee, along with everyone who was still waiting at the door.
He clasped his hands into fists and looked solemn:
"The three-year period has expired. Please return to your post, Taoist Priest!"
More than 20 strong and strong men answered together, and the sound was so loud that it hurt people's ears.
The Taoist's chopsticks that he was picking up suddenly stopped. The smile on his face disappeared and his eyes were lowered. Then he sighed deeply and looked up at the middle-aged man kneeling in front of him:
"Feng Yi is indeed Feng Yi. No matter where he goes, he can't escape your surveillance."
The middle-aged man didn't answer, he just knelt there without saying a word.
"I have not heard about the world for three years. I made an agreement with Zuo Guangyi three years ago. From then on, I cultivated my way and he took his sword without asking anything. Now..."
The Taoist said quietly.
"Taoist Master, unless the military leader insists on causing trouble, it is really unpredictable. The man from Yuzhou suddenly appears in Ningyang. Unless the Taoist Master takes action, it is difficult to save the building from collapse."
The middle-aged man replied, still lowering his head.
"You said he came from Yuzhou?"
The old Taoist asked with a trembling voice.
The middle-aged man nodded and said nothing.
Not to mention the veteran Taoist, no one would have imagined that such a person, who came across two states, would not be known until the end if the facts were not in front of him.
"It's hard to regain your life in front of the three deities. Oh, it's true that it's hard to regain your life in front of the three deities. It's all fate!"
The old Taoist suddenly smiled and murmured to himself.
After saying that, he stood up slowly, holding the child who was still chewing chicken feet with both hands, and walked out.
The men who were kneeling on one knee followed closely and disappeared soon after.
"Brother, are those people gone? They look like bad guys." Lin Shu on the side swallowed the beef in his mouth and said.
"Probably gone." Lin Mo watched the figure disappear, looked away, and replied softly.
The group of people mentioned Ning Yang just now, which made him a little emotional and a little shocked.
Listening to his tone, it seems that some big shot has come to Ningyang, and even alerted the military leader?
But the Taoist priest, who was inconspicuous at first, became the key to solving the problem. It was really, really not simple.
he sighed.
Although I don't know how strong he is, if he dares to say that he can save the building from collapse, he cannot be someone who has gained fame in vain.
At the very least, he is at least a master at the third level of the Destiny Realm, right?
And when I thought about the behavior of the group of people just now, if they were only at the third level of the Destiny Realm, there was no need to be like this, and my heart tightened even more.
What an eventful time.
He sighed, glad to have left Ningyang early, but also a little worried about Xu Chengyuan, Li Yuanze and others who were still in Ningyang.
After eating, after the sun became a little darker, we replenished some water and food at the restaurant, and the group continued moving forward.
Not only Lin Mo and others saw that the shade had cooled down after a long absence, the other two groups of people in the restaurant also made the same decision.
And just when Lin Mo and others were going out and preparing to set off, an old man about sixty years old with white hair and beard suddenly walked towards Lin Mo. When he caught Lin Mo's gaze, he nodded friendly, as if he had something to say.
Lin Mo recognized his origin. He was the person who was sitting at the table at the back of the store, next to the ladies.
"Here comes this brave man. We are from Shuangquan County, and we are going to Linyu County to do business. May I ask, where is the destination of your family?"
The old man was tall and tall. He was sixty years old, but his height had obviously begun to shrink, but he was still 1.9 meters tall. He cupped his hands first, and then asked softly.
"We are also going to Lin Yu County. What's the matter?" Lin Mo said calmly.
At this time, Father Lin and the others had already set up the carriage and were ready to set off. They waved there, and Lin Mo raised his hand to wait a moment.
When the old man heard this, his face suddenly became happy and he smiled, "I saw that the warriors and his party seemed to be planning to pass through Qingfeng County and then go all the way to Guanshan Gorge?"
Lin Mo hesitated for a while, then recalled that the name was indeed on the map given by Father Lin, and nodded slowly, but his expression was a little impatient.
He is putting pressure on the other party. This guy has been talking for so long and still doesn't say anything. He talks in a roundabout way, which is really annoying.
The old man was indeed frightened. He was afraid of causing Lin Mo's displeasure, so he quickly continued:
"Don't be angry, strong man. Rely on your relatives at home and your friends when you go out. We come here with good intentions.
To be honest, Qingfeng County is now inaccessible. Although it is close, there happened to be a plague there two months ago, but many people fell. Even the great pharmacist invited by Ningyang was unable to do anything. Now Aren't you feeling uncomfortable on the road?
The old road in Guanshanxia is also impassable. Although it is an official road, a group of powerful men came half a year ago, named Fengxing Thirteen Thieves. Even Zhou Shengjun in the county could not do anything.
Nowadays, people are stuck in the canyon selling entry and exit certificates and collecting protection fees in disguise. If it is the first time to go there and get caught up in their enthusiasm, it will be a loss of both human and financial resources. "
The old man said earnestly.
"Ha, let's not talk about it far away. You said there was a plague in Qingfeng County. Where did the wine we just drank come from?" Lin Mo suddenly smiled and asked.
"You don't really think that the wine is bought from Shunxi Tavern, do you? The original price of a bottle of two kilograms of drunken wine is worth a hundred taels of silver. If it is true, how can it only be worth that little silver? Of course, it is not fake. In fact, It's also made from spirit grain." The old man was stunned for a moment, then explained softly.
Lin Mo was silent, feeling a little heat on his face for a moment, but it didn't come on his face, indicating that he was still calm and his expression could not be seen.
"Having said so much, what are you really here for? Besides, if you don't take the old road of Guanshan Gorge, where can you go?" Lin Mo asked.
In fact, his intentions were somewhat guessed.
Isn’t it true that there are so many old roads, there are just new roads, and there may be dangers on the new roads?
Sure enough, the old man continued to say:
"A dissatisfied warrior cannot follow the old road. There is indeed a new road. This is the map."
After saying that, he took out a roll of leather paper from his arms and handed it to Lin Mo.
Lin Mo took it and opened it. There were convex peaks, winding rivers, and clear maps on it.
The red line in the picture is the route. The starting point is unknown, but the end point is written with the words Linyu County.
After watching carefully for a while, Lin Mo's expression suddenly changed:
"If I read it correctly, this new road written on the map can advance the journey by more than a month?"
A smile appeared on the old man's face and he nodded:
"It's true. If we start on the new road, we don't stay in Qingfeng County from here on, but instead go to Huaihui Mountain. There is a secret road there that few people know about. It can save a lot of time, but... "
The old man drawled his voice, looking at Lin Mo's calm expression, his heart trembled.
"It's just that the secret road passes through the mountain forest after all, and there will be mountain beasts attacking from time to time along the way. Therefore, my lady wants me to ask the strong man if he is going the same way, and if so, if he is willing to go together and take care of him together. ?”
In fact, if he hadn't seen Lin Mo taking care of his family, he wouldn't have agreed to call Lin Mo and his party.
After all, Lin Mo has such a strong body shape and looks like a strong man.
When they meet by chance and know nothing about each other, no matter how courageous they are, they would not dare to get closer to the team.
Lin Mo was silent and did not answer immediately.
"Strong men don't need to worry too much. We also have the map of Huaihui Mountain. I can give you a look first. In fact, no matter how ferocious the mountain beast is, it is still a beast and a beast. No matter what, it is easier to deal with than humans."
The old man persuaded with earnest words.
Lin Mo's heart moved. This sentence actually spoke to his heart. Moreover, if he could arrive at Lin Yu County more than a month in advance, it would be worth trying even if it was a bit risky.
"Is it okay if I discuss it with my father first and then make a decision?"
"It's okay, I'll wait for the news."
The old man nodded.
Lin Mo returned to the carriage and found Lin Yuanshan, whom he had just talked to.
Lin Yuanshan also fell into deep thought after hearing this. After thinking for a while, he slowly said, "Huaihui Mountain is indeed located between Qingfeng County and Linyu County, but I don't know about the secret passage. If it is true, it can indeed save a lot of time."
In fact, why does it take so long to get from Ningyang to Lin Yu? A lot of time is spent on detours.
"As for the plague in Qingfeng County and the bandits in Guanshanxia, I have only vaguely heard that a group of strong men did come to Guanshanxia a few days ago. There were strong men from Zhou Shengjun in the surrounding counties to deal with it, but in the end they had to leave it alone."
"What do you mean?"
Lin Mo asked.
"Of course I mean you can try it." Lin Yuanshan said calmly.
"Whether it's true or not, that group of people are only in the blood-boiling realm. They can't make trouble no matter what. You and I can handle it at will, so what's so scary about it?"
