Chapter 259: The Town Tavern
The weather at the turn of spring and summer is always so unpredictable, obviously the sun is still in the sky, the sun makes people dizzy, suddenly there are large clouds from the sky, soon the sun overhead is tightly covered, and there are gusts of damp wind blowing from the north, a heavy rain is close at hand.
The sudden change in the weather made the pedestrians on the official road immediately speed up their pace, and hurriedly rushed to the Qingdian small array in front, just wanting to find the head of the house as soon as possible to avoid the heavy rain.
At this moment, there was an urgent sound of horses' hooves behind them, and when the crowd realized that the horse was about to crash into them, they could not dodge. Fortunately, the knight on that horse was extremely skilled, and just as he was about to collide with someone, he suddenly shook the reins, controlled the horse to the side, and rushed over with a few pedestrians.
Before these pedestrians could breathe a sigh of relief, there was another person and a horse behind them who were chasing after each other, and this time everyone had learned to be well-behaved, and when they saw this, they quickly jumped and flashed to the side of the road, finally no longer frightened, and then watched the two horses disappear at the end of the official road.
The two horsemen came in a hurry, and went faster, and they could not even let the pedestrians who were hurrying to see the specific clothes of the horsemen on the horse, and they were naturally even more unlikely to know that the knight who had dodged the pedestrians with his superb horsemanship in front of them was actually just a young girl.
This is a picturesque girl, but with a heroic spirit, at this time her face still has a layer of anger, completely ignoring the shouts of the young man behind her, who is not a few years older than her, still continue to rush forward, until the sky suddenly fell like a waterfall of heavy rain, only after rushing into the town market called Qingdian Town in front of him slowed down the horse, and very skillfully parked the horse in front of the slightly humble tavern in the center of the town.
When the girl's slender legs jumped down from the horse, the young man chasing behind her finally arrived on horseback, and when he saw this, he quickly stopped his horse and shouted urgently: "Sister Rong, don't you lose your temper anymore, can't I make amends with you?" He didn't hurry to get off the horse, so he hugged and bowed to the girl again and again, looking flattering.
It wasn't until she saw that the other party was so accommodating herself regardless of the rain that the anger on the girl's face eased a little, and she snorted: "What, do you still want me to accompany you to the rain?" ”
The young man was stunned for a moment and quickly understood, quickly turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I did something wrong, and I hope that Sister Rong has a lot of you, don't blame me anymore." Let's go in and have a glass of water and wine to drive away the cold from our bodies, and I will use wine to make amends to you. ”
"You said it yourself, don't regret it later." The girl's slender eyebrows narrowed unconsciously when she heard the word wine, and her tall nose wrinkled delicately, and then she pulled her horse and walked under the canopy in front of the tavern, under which several donkeys and horses and a carriage were already tied.
When the two of them casually tied their mounts to the bolted horse post, the man's eyes suddenly fell on the horses on the side of the carriage, and he couldn't help but say: "Good horses, this is much more majestic than the horses on our Zhuangzi!" He wanted to take a few more looks, but because the girl snorted impatiently, he could only turn around a little stupidly, and walked into the tavern with the other party.
This Qingdian town was originally prosperous because of the official road, and the tavern here was naturally built to entertain guests from the south to the north, and today's heavy rain made the restaurant like a cloud, and more than a dozen tables were already filled with seven or eight, leaving only the outermost two tables still empty.
As soon as the young man and woman entered, the man greeted them with a smile, greeting them with concern whether they were drenched in the rain and respectfully asking them what they needed to eat. The young man glanced at the girl, and said a little arrogantly: "You can't get anything good from this little place, just send me the wine and food in your tavern, especially the wine, give me two catties first." ”
The man hurriedly agreed, helped them wipe down one of the tables a few times, and then ran to the counter to prepare food and drinks for them. It wasn't until he sat down that the young man turned his attention to the other tables of guests, only to find that there were really a few special existences here.
The first was the tall head of a man with long hair in a shawl sitting between the two tables, covering both sides. It's not that because there is wine and meat on the table in front of him as a monk, and that his behavior of still eating meat and drinking wine in a big gulp is a bit contrary to common sense—although Toutuo is a member of the family, he doesn't need to be taboo now—but because the cold air exuded from his body actually gives people a chilling momentum that they dare not look at.
And at the edge of the table farther in the back sat three stout men with beards and eyes like brass bells, who were drinking wine and saying something taboo with impunity:
"Recently, the Jeju area has become more and more impoverished, and there is an extra group of people from Yangsanbo who are competing with us for food, and our brother has not opened for many days."
"Who said no, if it goes on like this, we can only go through the state to Qingzhou to find an opportunity. By the way, we still have to go to congratulate Boss Hu on his birthday today, you said that we just brought some gold and silver in the past, isn't it too shabby, how should we find some gifts that can be handed. ”
"It's easy, I see that the horses outside the store are in good condition, not ordinary people can get their hands on them, it's better to just be them." When the last man said this, he suddenly stood up, swept his gaze over everyone in the store, and shouted, "You all understand? The first few horses outside have already been taken by our brothers, and the owner of the horses has not come out to reply? ”
What is unscrupulous, this is it. Not only did these three people openly talk about going to Liangshan to settle down in the grass, but they also directly wanted to take the horses from others, and they also showed a natural face.
As soon as these words came out, Natoutuo's face sank slightly. But before he could say anything, someone was already talking at the innermost table in the restaurant, and they were one of the guests that the young man was paying attention to, and there were four people sitting at this table, three men and one woman, and the most conspicuous one was a strong man who was taller than Jeju Sanxiong.
However, it was not him who spoke at this time, but a young man sitting opposite him who looked only in his twenties, and saw that there was neither surprise nor annoyance on his face, but he said slowly: "A few of you have a good eye, but your eyes are a little worse." ”
Seeing him talking, Jeju Sanxiong guessed that the horses outside belonged to them, and one of them stood up and staggered over with some drunkenness, and after standing at the table, he stared at the young man condescendingly and said, "Why, do you dare to disobey?" I, Jeju Sanxiong, am a famous hero in this area, if you know each other, I can still make you a friend, if you dare to burst out of your mouth, don't blame me for bullying the small! As he spoke, he slammed his fist on the table, causing all the cups and saucers to clink.
At this time, another man also walked over, and he sneered: "This should be our brother to teach you a good boy, the most taboo thing to walk outside is to show money and wealth, and you won't understand the truth that the husband is not guilty of his guilt, right?" It would be a waste for such a good horse to remain in your hands, so it is better to give it to our brothers. How, have you figured it out? When he said the last sentence, his tone was already full of threat.
This presumptuous and arrogant approach made the atmosphere in the tavern suddenly stiffen, and all the drinkers were shocked, if it weren't for the heavy rain outside, I was afraid that someone would have to flee from this place. As for the shopkeeper and the men in the tavern, they didn't dare to come forward as if they hadn't heard anything at this time, they only hoped that things would not deteriorate, and if something really happened, their business would not be able to continue.
"Hey, Zhu Saburo, haven't you always boasted of being a chivalrous man? Now that someone wants to steal someone else's horse in front of you, why are you still indifferent? Seeing this, the girl immediately frowned and asked the young man.
The young man Zhu Saburo glanced thoughtfully at a few people over there and said, "Don't worry, let's take a look first." ”
"You're not afraid of that Jeju Sam-woong, are you? If you're afraid, I'll do it, and there's no room for them to be presumptuous in this area!" The girl was in a hurry, and when she saw that the other party refused to make a move, she was about to rise. Unexpectedly, as soon as she moved, she was stopped by Zhu Sanlang's quick move: "Don't worry, a few people over there are not ordinary people, I believe they have a way to deal with it." ”
Not only did he see that the guests at the table were fearless, but even the head of the man, who had just been angry and pressed his hand on the long cloth bag beside the table, did not move again, but watched thoughtfully as the young man and his companion reacted.
It's just that they didn't react much, whether it was the big man or the young man who was being stared at, they were all drinking wine and eating food, as if they didn't hear the threat of the two strongmen around them. The girl at the table and the other slightly older young man were a little nervous, but they were still seated at the table.
Seeing that these guys were so faceless, Jeju Sanxiong finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and immediately said: "Boy, don't be embarrassed!" Since you won't give us the horse, we'll have to take it ourselves!" As he spoke, the remaining one of the people who remained in place had already gotten up and was about to go out.
At this moment, the young man finally opened his mouth, only to see him sigh softly: "Hey, why are you so ignorant? Originally, I still wanted to let you go, after all, I haven't arrived yet, and this place is not in Qingzhou, so it's not good to meddle. But since you have to hit the muzzle of the gun yourself, then don't blame me for making a mistake with you! ”
