Chapter 120: Zhu Gui
Yesterday, Ximen Qing and Hu Sanniang fought each other, which was extremely ambiguous. At the last moment, Ximen Qing held Hu Sanniang's buttocks and carried him up. It was so coquettish that Ximen Qing was secretly happy.
But what Ximen Qing could not have expected was that Hu Sanniang neither came to pester her to continue fighting nor to fulfill her bet. Instead, she took Hu Cheng away quietly this morning while Ximen Qing was practicing martial arts, and she didn't even want to go back with her Sun and Moon swords.
Hu Sanniang left quietly, waved her sleeves, and only took away Ximen Qing's confusion.
Could it be that he did too much that made the virgin Hu Sanniang feel shy and angry at him? Ximen Qing guessed so much that he had to shake his head in the end, unable to think of anything.
At the same time, Li Ying, who was onlooker, was also confused, and his eyes were full of strangeness when he looked at Ximen Qing. Hu Sanniang left for no reason, which explained too many things. Li Ying was wondering whether it was because when Ximen Qing competed with Hu Sanniang yesterday that his righteous emperor was in a state of slut and he had to rectify Sanniang on the spot? Therefore, Sanniang hurriedly escaped today and did not want to see someone who hurt her body?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. Finally, he couldn't help but ask. After this question, Ximen Qing immediately held the halberd and picked up Li Ying, fighting for hundreds of rounds, and it was not until the two of them were so tired that they could not move.
Originally, Ximen Qing wanted to continue teasing Hu Sanniang, but now it seems that there is no chance. Ximen Qing couldn't guess why Hu Sanniang left for no reason, so she could only shake her head and stop thinking about it. Although Hu Sanniang is beautiful, Ximen Qing is not a pervert. She will get a beautiful one when she sees him! If the two are destined to meet them in the future, they will naturally meet!
In the following days, Ximen Qing lived in Lijiazhuang for another three days, and then left Lijiazhuang with Li Ying's reluctance to leave.
After leaving Lijiazhuang, Ximen Qing did not return to Yuncheng, but ran towards Liangshan. Ximen Qing had long wanted to see what Liangshanbo was like. Now that he was so close, Ximen Qing would naturally not let him go. Moreover, Ximen Qing also had to knock on Wang Lun well, so that he could be careful of a little crisis, so as to strictly prevent Zhujiazhuang and keep the two families in the status quo.
Ximen Qing did not dare to walk to Liangshanbo's North Road because Zhujiazhuang guarded the North Road. If Ximen Qing was discovered from the North Road, it would be a little unclear. At that time, Zhu Chaofeng guessed something, it would be bad. So Ximen Qing went around a long circle and came to the south of Liangshanbo, intending to go to Liangshan through Zhu Gui's house and help him.
Zhu Gui opened a restaurant on the south side of Liangshanbo, with the purpose of inquiring about the news of the past vendors, so as to inform Wang Lun and his gang in Liangshanbo to go down the mountain to rob. It can be said that Zhu Gui was the intelligence minister of Wang Lun's thief.
Although Zhu Gui is also one hundred and eight generals, his martial arts are ordinary, otherwise he would not be called "dry land and shrug". Hu Lu refers to crocodiles. The dry land is naturally land. If a crocodile is on land, he will not be very capable. However, although Zhu Gui's martial arts are not good, his methods of inquiring about information are good. As long as there is any disturbance, he can detect the trick and notify Wang Lun to avoid some danger. At the same time, Zhu Gui is quite good. Although he is a bandit, he is also a righteous person. Therefore, it is easier for Ximen Qing to find him to go to Liangshan.
Ximen Qing rode his horse all the way and soon arrived at the edge of Liangshanpo. After walking along the main road for a while, he saw a restaurant built by the water from afar. On the plaque in front of the restaurant, the words "Zhu Gui Restaurant" were written.
"It's finally here!" Ximen Qing rubbed his eyes and said with a smile, then got off the horse and walked over with him.
When he arrived at the door of the restaurant, tied the horse to the horse pillar in front of the door, Ximen Qing took the Fang Tian Hua Ji and the package into the restaurant.
The environment inside the restaurant is very ordinary, and it is safer than the average restaurant.
After finding a seat near the door and sitting down, Ximen Qing shouted, "Barman, come here quickly!"
"Hey, here we come!" A response came from the back hall, and then a bartender walked out with a smile, nodded and bowed, wiped the table with a white rag, and said with a smile: "Call, are you having a drink?"
Ximen Qing nodded, patted the package on the table, and said, "Of course, what's the delicious food you have? Tell me quickly. If I say it to you, I will have a lot of money to reward you!"
The bartender glanced at Ximen Qing's package, licked his lips slightly, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes, and then said, "Celebrity, our restaurant has beef, white wine hidden in snow, and fresh fish just caught in Liangshanpo!"
Ximen Qing took the greed in the bartender's eyes and smiled and said, "Okay, let's make five-cent wine first, then add five kilograms of beef sauce, and you can come up with anything else." After that, he opened the package and took out a piece of silver and threw it to the bartender.
The bartender glanced at the other silver in the package, then smiled even more, and said, "Okay, Master, wait a moment!"
At this time, Ximen Qing said again: "Barner, are you the restaurant? Why are you the only one?"
The bartender did not rush to leave, but said patiently: "I am just a servant, how can I be a shopkeeper? My shopkeeper is in the back hall. In addition to me, there is also a chef and a buyer in the store. Master, wait a moment, I will prepare meals for you!"
The bartender was very happy. This time he came a big fish, which was enough to make a fortune. He was originally a member of the Liangshan bandit, and followed Zhu Gui to find out the news. If he had free time, he would faint with sweating pills, then snatch valuables, and he would pull him into the back hall and peel them, making beef for sale.
After a while, the bartender came over with wine, beef, and a few dishes and vegetables, and prepared it for Ximen Qing.
Afterwards, the bartender personally poured a glass of Ximen Qing, and his expression was so anxious that Ximen Qing could drink it.
Ximen Qing picked up the bowl and just put it beside her mouth and wanted to drink it, but stopped, instead asked with a smile: "Barner, your wine is really fragrant!"
Seeing that Ximen Qing was about to drink, but he spoke again. The bartender suddenly felt relieved, and then he smiled and said, "That's right, the white wine in our restaurant is absolutely fragrant. You might as well try this young master, how about it?"
Ximen Qing nodded, then the corner of her mouth slightly raised, and a smile appeared. Ximen Qing picked up the bowl and put it beside her mouth. When she was about to drink, Ximen Qing put it down again. Looking at the depressed expression of the bartender, Ximen Qing smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, I will give you this first bowl!"
"Ah?" The bartender shivered in fear, then said with a bitter look: "No, no, no, this is not OK. If the shopkeeper knows, he won't peel me. Master, you can drink it yourself, and I can't bear to drink!"
Ximen Qing was joking and pretended to look at him, saying, "Oh, I don't want to drink it if I reward you? Could it be that there is a sweating pill in this wine? Do you want to make me lose my package?"
When the bartender heard this, a trace of ferocious murderous intent flashed across his face. At this moment, a man came out of the back hall and said, "Wang Er, please help in the inner hall, I will take care of this guest!"
Wang Er nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, the shopkeeper!"
After saying that, he walked into the back hall with a rag with a look of depression.
The man came over, bowed to Ximen Qing, and said, "I don't know the name of the young master Gao? What's the price to do when I come to my restaurant?"
This person is Zhu Gui. He could see at a glance that Ximen Qing was playing with Wang Er, and he guessed in his heart that Ximen Qing's identity was not simple, and coming here was not as simple as having a meal, so Zhu Gui asked this.
Ximen Qing looked at Zhu Gui and saw Zhu Gui wearing a brown pig's mouth turtle on his head, a thin marten fur coat on his upper body, a pair of narrow chalky skin on his feet, a big figure, a big appearance, a two-fold face, three-pointed yellow beard, and a pair of eyes that were extremely translucent and cunning.
Ximen Qing smiled and raised the bowl and said, "Brother Zhu Gui, are you using this to entertain guests?"
ps: I just came back from Yangzhou. Alas, I have been having fun these two days and I feel a little unhappy. How can I say that, the environment in Yangzhou is good, just... Alas, I won’t talk about it anymore.
