Chapter 503 Eating Crabs(1/2)
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper's..."
The waiter looked at the back of the guest officer in green, his face turned pale.
Even if he saw a ghost, he would not show such a frightened expression, because he had never seen a ghost before, and today, he saw a madman who swallowed half a kilogram of arsenic in one mouthful.
"Quick, go and ask the doctor from the Golden Needle Pavilion..."
The shopkeeper screamed, and he immediately became speechless and said: "No, grab him and induce vomiting!"
The two of them ran out of the shop, looked left and right, and found that the customer in Tsing Yi had disappeared into the crowd.
............
Bu Zui Ju, one of the best restaurants in Yongzhou City.
For dining in, the per capita consumption is half a penny. For a private room, the per capita consumption is two pence. If you stay in a hotel, a good private room costs three pence a night.
Mu Nanzhi and Xu Qian walked slowly for a long time, asking for directions several times along the way, and finally arrived outside the restaurant.
The waiter greeted the waiter at the door. Seeing the two approaching the restaurant, he immediately stepped forward knowingly, nodded and bowed:
"Both of you are objective, it's better to stay in a hotel."
“Stay in the hotel!”
Xu Qian handed the reins to the waiter, took off the water bag, poured out the turbid white water mixed with arsenic, and lightly applied it on the saddle.
During the process, his palm turned blue-black. After wiping it, he raised his hand and the flesh and blood in his palm returned to its original state.
The ability of poisonous poison combines the surrounding environment and materials to create special toxins.
Xu Qian used arsenic to create a chronic poison and smeared it on the saddle. As long as someone dared to ride the pony, the toxin solidified on the saddle would slowly evaporate with body temperature, penetrate the pants, penetrate the skin, and then penetrate the blood vessels from the skin.
He will die within a quarter of an hour at most, and it will be difficult for gods to save him.
The waiter in the shop had limited knowledge and could not see through the mystery. He was just confused for a moment, and then saw the guest in Qingyi throwing a piece of silver and said:
"My horse needs to be fed with concentrated feed. Beans, wheat, corn, salt, eggs, honey, all of these are indispensable. I will come to check later. If you dare to cut corners, I will skin you."
"
There is no lack of murderous aura and hostility in Xu Baiguo's body, and when he raises his eyebrows and raises his eyes, it is extremely oppressive.
The waiter in the shop pinched a large piece of broken silver, feeling surprised and frightened at the same time, and said: "Don't worry, sir, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of your beloved horse."
He immediately led the horse to the backyard.
"When you are in the world of martial arts, you have to have a martial spirit. Pretending to be gentle, courteous, and thrifty will only make people think that you are a fat sheep, and everyone will kill you."
Xu Qian smiled and explained to Da Feng's most beautiful woman.
The arena and the temple are different worlds. In the capital, one should be low-key in life and high-profile in doing things, and pay attention to human kindness and qualifications in everything.
But the rivers and lakes are different. The rivers and lakes are a mixed bag of fish and dragons, young people are full of energy, and sometimes there are flashes of swords and swords, so you have to show a fierce and violent attitude. This can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Entering the restaurant lobby, Xu Qian led Mu Nanzhi towards the counter. Along the way, he heard diners not far away talking about:
"I heard that someone found a large tomb in a barren mountain thirty miles south of the city. More than a dozen people went in and never came out."
"I heard that people from the Gongsun family also sent people to visit the tomb, and it was all damaged inside. Now there are rumors outside that there is a rare and big treasure inside. Otherwise, how could it be so dangerous?"
"It's probably a rumor deliberately spread by the Gongsun family. They want people from all walks of life to serve as pawns."
"No, the more dangerous the tomb, the more treasures there are. If there are only a few crooked melons and cracked dates as funerary objects, who would spend so much effort to set up traps?"
"It makes sense."
"The Gongsun family has been recruiting heroes in Yongzhou City recently. It is best to be capable and righteous people who are proficient in Feng Shui mechanisms. Unfortunately, I am just a martial artist with limited strength. Otherwise, I would have mixed it up."
Munan Zhi's face changed slightly after hearing this.
Xu Qian frowned.
The underground palace outside Yongzhou City was discovered? Well, there was a lot of noise when Shenshu and the ancient corpses were fighting. The mountain range collapsed to a certain extent. It is normal for some good people to explore afterwards...
With Shenshu's status, it has only been half a year. The ancient corpse should not be out of trouble yet. I hope not, otherwise my trip to Yongzhou will be in vain...
While he was thinking about it, he walked towards the counter and said, "Open two good private rooms, right next to each other."
Mu Nanzhi, who was standing next to her, said quickly: "No, we don't want to open two rooms, one is enough..."
Her voice became smaller and smaller, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
She was scared... Xu Qian glanced at the princess. He was not happy about sleeping with the most beautiful woman in Da Feng, but frowned.
First of all, the side effects of Love Gu will make the host always have the urge to reproduce, and Xu Qian is afraid that he will not be able to control himself.
Secondly, the side effect of the dark poison is that the host likes to burrow into dark and humid places, and must have a private space where no one can discover it for two hours every day.
The princess' spiritual essence cannot be "picked" until she reaches the peak of the third level. The side effects of the Gu are unsatisfactory and will affect the development of Qijue Gu, thereby affecting my cultivation...
Xu Qian sighed inwardly: Sure enough, women will only affect the speed of my sword draw!
So I asked the shopkeeper for a good private room that cost as much as one tael of silver.
The shopkeeper collected the money, doubled his warm and attentive attitude, and personally led the two distinguished guests upstairs.
The room was at the end of the corridor, and the bustling scene on the main road could be seen through the window. Mu Nanzhi liked it very much, but Xu Qian only found it noisy.
It is indeed one of the most expensive restaurants in Yongzhou City, and it is indeed the most prestigious wing of the restaurant. The bookcase is made of huanghuali wood, and the four treasures of the study are placed on the table.
Mu Nanzhi entered the room, looked around, examined, and said:
"The paintings hanging there are all famous paintings, but they are all fakes. None of them are authentic."
Among them is an authentic painting of "The Story of Burning Incense in a Wine House", which is in the Zhenbei Palace and hangs in her study.
"This Duan Inkstone is good."
She walked to the desk again and played with a blue and white inkstone. The blue and white patterns on the inkstone were like ink smudges. Munan Zhi said regretfully:
"The texture is fine, but not moist enough. It's high-quality, but not the best."
No matter how moist it is, will it be moisturized by you...Xu Qian complained in her heart.
She commented on the furnishings in the room, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, antique calligraphy and paintings, furniture, etc. one by one.
The shopkeeper was stunned and called out to the expert: "Young lady is really an expert."
I immediately put away the slight contempt in my heart. This pair of ordinary-looking men and women should be from a wealthy family. They would not be able to develop such taste and vision unless they had a good diet.
Xu Qi'an, who was listening to the whole process, pulled the shopkeeper to the table and said with a smile: "Talk to the shopkeeper for a moment."
"You're welcome." The shopkeeper's attitude became very good.
Xu Qian asked: "I just heard someone in the hall say that a large tomb was found in the mountains to the south?"
The shopkeeper nodded and said: "There is such a thing, I don't know whether it is true or not. It is said that many people died. That mountain is now occupied by the Gongsun family."
Xu Qian took a sip of tea and muttered: "Gongsun family? Boss, are there any powerful forces in the world of Yongzhou City?"
Although he has been to Yongzhou once, he really doesn't know much about the situation of local gangs.
In the eyes of the watchmen, only big forces like the Jianzhou Martial Arts League can take notice, and the rest are just rubbish.
Of course, this does not mean that Jianghu gangs are not powerful, but the watchman is affiliated with the imperial court after all, and has a natural sense of superiority to Jianghu gangs.
The shopkeeper comes as soon as he opens his mouth, no need to ponder:
"Near Yongzhou City, the most powerful ones are Gongsun Villa eighteen miles to the north, and Dragon God Castle twenty miles east of Benlong River. The gangs that rely on these two powerful forces include...
.
"As for the counties and counties under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou, I don't know."
Yongzhou is one of the Thirteen Continents of Dafeng. There are dozens of counties and prefectures under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou City. The number of gangs among them can only be known through official statistics.
The headquarters of big forces like the Dragon God Castle and the Gongsun Family are usually not in the city, and the government will not allow it.
Munanzhi frowned and said, "The Yongzhou government doesn't care about the tomb?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Why do you need to care? This is not a flood or locust plague, so the government is too lazy to take care of it. As for the dead, they are all Jianghu people who died, not ordinary people. Even if they are ordinary people, if you don't report it to the official, the government is too lazy to take care of it.
,right.
"Besides, the Gongsun family has some friendship with the chief envoy of Yongzhou, so that the mountain can be "circled"."
"What the shopkeeper said makes sense."
The two men looked at each other and smiled.
Xu Qian learned from the shopkeeper that during this season, lake crabs are in full bloom, and Yangbai Lake outside the city is the holy land for eating crabs near Yongzhou City.
Before this time, the city's wealthy households, eunuchs, and heroes would rent boats to cruise around the lake and enjoy the plump lake crabs.
Munan Zhi's eyes lit up after hearing this.
After chatting for a few words, the shopkeeper reluctantly said goodbye.
.............
Xu Qi'an closed the door, walked behind the screen, moved the tub aside, took out the fragments of the book, and poured out a jar. The mud in the jar was shallow, the water was slightly turbid, and a dark golden lotus root lay at the bottom of the jar.
