In the past few days, the city lord has been dragging Lin Xue around and talking about nothing, just wanting to get in touch with Lin Xue. Every day, he spends a lot of money, eating big fish and meat, three meals a day.
After Nan Er saw it, he couldn't help but wonder what the relationship between these people was. It seemed that the city lord had a high status. The two heavy armors obeyed him. Lin Xue was respectful to a few of them, but the city lord was always groveling when he had nothing to do. , Nan Er was confused for a moment as to who was the leader.
This problem may not be a big deal to others, but for Nan Er, who has always been steady, it is naturally a factor of uncertainty.
If you can figure it out naturally, it will also facilitate planning and action at night and reduce unnecessary risks.
"Miss Lin, you are right, but now that I think about it, I am not filial. My father wanted me to study and become a scholar and get a good name, but I was really not interested in those articles, so I even stabbed my buttocks a lot, but It’s useless after all, I’m still more interested in martial arts.” The city lord pulled Lin Xue to talk about household matters, and naturally he would not miss this great opportunity.
Lin Xue listened carefully and wanted to leave a good impression on the city lord. This was also a good thing for him.
I can't afford to fall behind.
"Unfortunately, my father became ill due to overwork. He suffered some internal injuries from practicing martial arts in his early years, and his health has been poor. Later, he passed away a few years ago when he was older. Before he died, I did not fulfill his wishes and obtain the honor." The city lord sighed. In one breath, this matter was a worry for him.
"Everyone has his or her own strengths. Even if he is a champion like Master, he is not as good as Tang Ao. I have heard Old Tang and Old Xu say that you have killed countless wild werewolves and achieved great fame." Lin Xue said.
"It's not worth mentioning. General Pei is the real talent. We suffered heavy losses at that time. Even the Emperor and Queen Mother in the city were ready to surrender. I thought I was going to die. Relying on the power of the city wall, three thousand vine armor There were only more than 1,500 soldiers left in the army. Millions of wild wolves were approaching the city. Everyone felt that the defeat was certain. The people in the city were also afraid that if they continued to defend the city, they would be massacred when the city was broken. It was General Pei who stood up. The minister who tried his best to kill the main minister in the court suddenly stabilized the situation. I will never forget that scene. I was really lucky to follow him for a while and I benefited a lot."
The city lord sighed in his heart. That period of time really made him understand why his father was unwilling to let him practice martial arts. Human life seemed to be free of charge. The blood stained the high city walls red, and even the wells in the city had a trace of blood smell.
Now that I think about it, I can't help but sigh. It's a miracle how I persisted.
"The city lord is really a hero. The country suffered heavy losses in that war, with millions of corpses lying dead. I saw a scene in the book, and even thinking about it makes me tremble." Lin Xue couldn't help but admire, although she heard from Old Tang and Old Xu that the city lord had been with Pei. General, but he didn't expect to experience that battle.
Although there are only a few words in the book, Lin Xue can also get a glimpse of the tragedy of that battle.
"Come here, serve the wine! Bring your best spirits."
Seeing Lin Xue's moved expression, the city lord knew that his goal had been achieved, so he took a photo of a hundred taels of silver notes and asked the waiter to serve him wine.
"One hundred taels?!" Nan Er, who was on the third floor, looked at the one hundred taels of silver note with a burning look, feeling a little distressed. After tonight, it will all be his.
"Sir, the best Nv'er's Red has been around for eight years. The wine has a sweet and strong aroma and is not harmful to the body." The shopkeeper personally brought a jar of Ner's Red that exuded the aroma of wine, placed it on the wooden table and took it away quietly. That banknote had a smile on his face.
"Is there any rice wine?" The city lord glanced at Lin Xue. Lin Xue looked at the daughter Hong and didn't know what to do, so he asked.
"Yes, yes, there are women coming and going, so we also carry some elegant rice-flavored wine." The shopkeeper glanced casually and understood immediately.
"Come here...go." The city lord signaled the shopkeeper to come, said a few words in the shopkeeper's ear and waved his hand for him to leave.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll do it right now." The shopkeeper hadn't met such a happy customer for a long time, so he naturally tried his best and became anxious.
After a while, a jar of fragrant rice wine was brought and placed on the table.
"Sir, do you have any other orders?"
The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was almost exhausted from this trip, but when he thought about the money, he felt it was worth it.
"You go down." The city lord waved him back.
The inn has had few or no guests in the past few days, but the presence of two heavy armors at the door has made many people give up the idea of resting.
Mr. Qin is still resting in his room. He has hardly been out for the past three days and doesn't know what he is doing.
"Come and drink, please." The city lord personally picked up the rice wine and poured a bowl for Lin Xue. The rice wine was fragrant and sweet, and then his daughter Hong poured himself a bowl of strong wine.
Lin Xue picked up the rice wine and took a small sip. The sweet rice wine entered her throat like fire. She couldn't help but cough a few times, as if she had never drank.
The city lord was stunned for a moment when he saw this. He was originally worried that the other party was drunk, so he asked the shopkeeper to add water, just like dipping chopsticks in wine.
Even if he was beaten to death, he would not have thought that Lin Xue could not drink any wine. You must know that Juxian Tower is the number one restaurant in Jinxiu City, and there are plenty of fine wines inside.
"Come here, some tea." The city lord immediately asked the shopkeeper to bring him a cup of tea.
If Lin Xue was drunk, his idea of building a relationship would be ruined.
"The city lord is laughing at me. My uncle has been very strict with me since I was a child and forbids me to drink," Lin Xue explained.
"Lin Dacai is indeed a rule-abiding person." The city lord was not surprised after hearing this. After all, he had known him for many years.
After the city lord took a big sip, he said with emotion: "Compared to the wine in Juxian Tower, it's still a bit inferior, but the wine in this desolate wilderness is considered fine wine. I'm afraid I won't be able to drink it again on this journey."
"Linjia Village is indeed too remote. Even my uncle doesn't want me to go back every year. The road is too far." Lin Xue took a sip of tea to wash away the smell of alcohol in her mouth.
"Since ancient times, lovers have finally gotten married. If I had such a good person waiting for me, I would even tear my heart out," the city lord joked.
"The city lord is joking." Lin Xue's face turned red after hearing this, and the image of that person appeared in her mind. I wonder what he is doing now. Is he still drinking fish soup?
When you get back, cook him a good meal and let him know not to just drink fish soup.
The uncomfortable feeling on the road disappeared, and Lin Xue breathed a sigh of relief. Only then could he talk to the city lord. The three-month journey was not short of a few days. It would be nice if he could help him leave a good impression on the city lord.
Nan Er, who was on the third floor, heard grunts coming from behind him, which made him react somewhat. After all, it was difficult for a young man with an upright body to not react at all. He couldn't help but curse in a low voice:
"Dog man and woman"
