Jianzhou belongs to Lin'an territory. Now that the prefects of Lin'an have fled, I don't know if the prefect of Jianzhou is still there.
Seeing that the city gate guards looked calm and the people came and went in an orderly manner, Pei Liang already had the answer in his heart.
After Baima entered the city, the pairing of Pei Liang and Yaoniang may have been too conspicuous, attracting the attention of passers-by on the road.
Pei Liang couldn't help but pull down his bamboo hat slightly, and Yaoniang also deliberately kept a physical distance from the man.
In front of a restaurant called "Xiaoyao Tower", Pei Liang reined in the reins and stopped his horse.
A bartender walked quickly inside and helped hold the horse's head with quick eyes and hands.
"Feed more high-quality forage."
Pei Liang dismounted and said hello, and helped Yaoniang down as well.
"Don't worry, sir." The young bartender agreed quickly.
When the two of them walked into the restaurant together, the bartender reluctantly took his eyes away from Yaoniang's slim figure, shook his head and sighed in resignation.
The enthusiastic waiter in front led the way, and the two of them arrived at the third floor, the quietest place, and found a seat by the window to sit down.
"If you have any special dishes, please serve them."
Pei Liang took off his bamboo hat and said proudly to his younger brother.
"Okay, sir, our signature dishes are squirrel mandarin fish, stir-fried shrimps, roasted pork loin with Fuzi melon, steamed sea crab..."
"Let's get some vegetarian food."
Yaoniang directly interrupted the waiter's introduction. She had been feeling uncomfortable in her stomach for the past few days and couldn't bear greasy food.
When Yao Niang glanced at the younger brother, his face turned red, and he said awkwardly: "Vegetarian dishes only show their sharp corners when they have little lotus, crescent moon"
Eggplant roasted with beans, cucumber mixed with celery..."
"Okay, that's what you said, and a bottle of good wine." Pei Liang said directly.
The waiter nodded and took note and walked away.
Yaoniang held her chin in her hand and looked at Pei Liang with a smile: "I ordered so much, do you have any money?"
Pei Liang immediately took out a twelve-weight ingot from his arms and placed it on the table.
"Walking around the world, this is indispensable."
Yaoniang said oh and stuck out her tongue cutely:
"I thought you Jianghu people never had to pay for meals!"
Pei Liang laughed dumbly, suddenly feeling that having a beauty by his side was really a pleasing thing.
After the food and wine were served, Yaoniang was not very interested in the delicious meat dishes. Pei Liang was just the opposite of her. He was not interested in the colorful vegetarian dishes at all. The plate was full of meat and he was holding a plump sea fish in his hand. The crab gnawed with relish.
Yaoniang looked ridiculous and asked casually: "Were your family very poor when you were a child?"
Seeing Pei Liang look at her angrily, Yaoniang also felt that this question was not very smart. Which orphan had a wealthy family when he was a child?
Since ancient times, hemp ropes have been cut at the thinnest points, bringing bad luck to those who suffer.
"When I was a kid, it was common to go hungry for nine meals in three days. After my parents were gone, I would steal food from others to eat. I was a famous wild child in the village, but you can't starve to death alive."
"Are you often beaten when you steal things?" Yaoniang seemed to become interested immediately.
"No!"
Pei Liang immediately put down the crab legs in his hand, wiped his mouth and said, "I was strong when I was a child. I was surrounded by three or five big men and beat me up. Then I got up and left. Nothing happened!"
Yaoniang couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
Pei Liang poured wine for Yaoniang and continued: "Except for a few evil-minded people, there are not many people who would really kill a child without a father and a mother. The world in this world will not make people completely despair."
When Yaoniang heard the words, although there was a faint smile on her lips, she still felt a dull pain in her heart. She noticed that the young man in front of her, who was not much older than her, looked cheerful and calm when talking about this bitter past. , but the vicissitudes of life revealed between the corners of the handsome brows cannot be hidden. A child without a father and a mother who grew up in this environment has encountered so many hardships.
In a daze, she saw Pei Liang raising the wine glass, and Yaoniang quickly touched it and drank it down in one gulp.
"Who did you learn this martial arts from?"
Yaoniang immediately put down her wine glass and asked:
Seeing Pei Liang's face look troubled.
"If you don't feel happy, just say it."
Yaoniang pouted deliberately.
"It's not that you can't talk about your master's inheritance in the world, but I promised that senior not to reveal his name. Please forgive me, girl." Pei Liang clasped his fists at the moment.
"I understand," Yaoniang responded in kind.
Pei Liang smiled, and Yaoniang also smiled and said: "You are such a cheap master, you look like you are a bit of a master from this world!"
Hearing the words "Exalted Master", the corner of Pei Liang's mouth twitched inadvertently, and he buried his head in drinking again.
Unknowingly, it was noon, and there were more and more pedestrians on the street. As noisy footsteps sounded at the stairs, several strong men with weapons in their arms came up, pushing each other, and their eyes were instantly caught by the window. The purple dress attracted the attention.
Pei Liang frowned slightly, knowing that trouble was coming!
"Brother, look!"
A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks pointed at Yaoniang.
"I have fucking eyes."
A big man in black with a sinister face was obviously the leader among the crowd, and he scolded the younger brother unceremoniously.
Yaoniang glared at several people with disgust and angrily covered her legs with Pei Liang's clothes.
The few big men who deliberately found a tricky position to sit down and kept peeking at Yaoniang's exposed legs saw that she was covering her up, and they all laughed, feeling both proud and excited.
"Brother, this girl is really good. Her face and body will make my bones go numb if I look at her for a few more times!"
The Chinese character with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks has a lewd smile on his face.
The man in black swallowed hard and cursed, "Look at your fucking potential."
"Only such a fairy-like woman is worthy of our eldest brother!"
The man on the left quickly flattered him.
Unable to bear it any longer, Yaoniang slammed her chopsticks on the table and glared at Pei Liang:
"Can you get rid of those flies?"
Pei Liang remained calm, picked up a piece of red and white fish meat, and chewed it as if nothing had happened.
The people at the table in the distance saw all this.
"Hehe, our eldest brother is still so powerful and domineering that he scared that pretty boy to the point where he didn't dare to say a word."
The sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked man looked proud.
"Brother, do you want us brothers to invite that girl over now to toast to eldest brother?"
The man who just flattered me looked at his words and said.
The man in black pondered for a moment and whispered: "Watch and observe again."
"Come on, let's go!"
Pei Liang raised the cup again, and Yaoniang patted her forehead. She really couldn't understand why this man with strong martial arts was so stubborn at the moment. Those few wine bags and rice bags didn't look like powerful characters at first glance.
"Don't be so angry. It's better to do less than to do more in the world!"
Pei Liang persuaded in a calm voice.
Yaoniang was about to say something sarcastic, but after thinking about it, she realized that Pei Liang's words had some truth to them. A restaurant was just a place to eat, and there was no need to be emotional before leaving after eating.
Yaoniang's expression softened a little, and she reluctantly touched the wine glasses with Pei Liang.
The five big men shouted and ordered the waiter to serve a table of wine and food.
The flattering man suddenly slapped the table and stood up, holding the wine bowl, spitting at everyone:
"Let's drink this bowl of wine to my eldest brother first. My brothers are following you to fight against the aliens in Guyuguan because they are convinced that you are a hero. If you can follow such a eldest brother, it will be worth your while for your brothers to die!"
Under his wink, the others understood and quickly stood up.
"Yes, yes, let's all respect big brother together!"
The man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks kept saying harmonious words.
The man in black coughed heavily and finally got up slowly:
"My dear brothers, we, the Five Tigers of Southern Sichuan, have been famous on the road for a long time. Thank you for electing me as your eldest brother. Now the people of the Central Plains are in danger. If we don't step forward, how can we wait longer!"
The leader's heroic words made the boys at the table cheer incessantly.
"Come! After drinking this glass of wine, everyone swears to kill the aliens!"
The man in black raised his wine bowl high,
"Swear to kill aliens"
"With big brother taking action, why worry about the alien race not being destroyed?"
"Big brother is mighty, do it"
After hearing this, Yaoniang quickly put down the soup bowl in her hand. She was afraid that she might not be able to hold it back and squirt out the soup in her mouth again. At the same time, she took a peek at Pei Liang, who looked opposite as usual.
At this moment, she had to admire this man's self-restraint. How could he not laugh at such a ridiculous scene.
What about the Five Tigers of Southern Sichuan, what swore to kill foreigners, are they worthy of such a bastard who only pretends to be a hero in front of women?
After a while, the man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks suddenly smashed the wine bottle in his hand to the ground.
"Xiaoer! Xiaoer!" A voice like a broken gong shouted.
The younger brother from Xiaoyao Building ran up quickly:
"What's wrong, uncle!"
Before the waiter could stand firm, the man calling someone was greeted with a big slap on his face.
"Damn it! You blind bitch! Didn't you notice there was no wine in the pot!"
When the men who were excited to brag heard what their companions said, they all yelled at the waiter.
"I'm sorry, gentlemen. The store has been short of manpower recently and has not been very welcoming. Please forgive me..."
The waiter had just made a few excuses when he received another slap on the face.
The man in black seemed to intend to establish his authority in front of Yaoniang, and even ordered the waiter to kneel down and pick up the pieces on the ground.
Seeing how arrogant and domineering these people were, the poor second brother didn't dare to resist, so he knelt on the ground with a plop. As soon as he picked up a few pieces of broken porcelain, he was kicked to the ground by the man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
Yaoniang, whose chest was heaving violently, couldn't bear it anymore. She grabbed the wine bottle on the table and smashed it on the head of the man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
Not to mention this wretched-looking villain, he was quite capable. He raised his hand and caught the flask thrown by Yao Niang without even spilling the wine on him.
"Brother, this little lady wants to toast you!"
The man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks chuckled. Amid the cheers of the crowd, the man in black took the filled wine glass and walked over with a shy face:
"Haha, since the lady has this intention, I would rather obey her than be respectful."
Pei Liang wiped his mouth, just in time to have enough wine and food.
Downstairs in Xiaoyao, several girls were choosing powder in front of the stall. Suddenly, they heard the sound of broken doors and windows above their heads, and then a black shadow fell and fell hard in front of the frightened beauty.
Several more figures fell from the third floor one after another, no more, no less, exactly five.
Everyone was like a dead pig, and they were quickly surrounded by the crowd watching the excitement.
After leaving Baima in Jianzhou City, we headed west.
Before leaving, Pei Liang gave the shopkeeper of Xiaoyao Tower some silver and told him and his staff to pack their luggage in advance. When the aliens invade Lin'an, Jianzhou will no longer be safe, so everyone should escape as soon as possible!
