Can such a blind person really be a foreign envoy? He Lingchuan looked at Sun Fuling, who winked at him and expressed that he didn't mind.
So He Lingchuan took the initiative to order a set of food for Xin Yi and ordered two bottles of wine.
After Xin Yi took a bite of the chicken, he closed his eyes for a while:
“I haven’t tasted this rich, sweet and delicious food in a long time!”
He Lingchuan took a bite of garlic and said, "Does the roast chicken in the Shahe River Basin not taste like chicken?"
Xin Yi also imitated him by eating a mouthful of meat and a mouthful of garlic: "It's far from enough! Just because of this bit of chicken flavor, I have to find someone to steal it back."
These few actions changed He Lingchuan's view of him greatly. He originally thought that this guy was as graceful as Xu Shichu and Lu Xun, but he didn't expect that he could put down his airs and dignity in just one second and wet his fingers with oil.
"You have to offer the old man a high price that he can't refuse." He Lingchuan pointed towards the kitchen, "He has a secret recipe."
Sun Fuling interjected: "Dare you ask Mr. Xin about Geng?"
He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows, because the word "Gui Geng" is usually used for older people.
Xin Yi gnawed on the chicken and said, "I'm eighty-eight years old!"
He Lingchuan was surprised. Forty-eight years old could look so young. How many years older than him?
"Is this a facial-retention technique?"
Xin Yi waved his hand: "It's just a secret technique passed down from the family, plus the time in seclusion is too long."
He asked Sun Fuling: "How did Master Sun see it?"
Sun Fuling swung her glass of wine and said, "The eyes are different."
Men and women in their teens and twenties are full of vitality, their sharp edges are exposed, and their eyes are full of vitality.
When you reach your thirties or forties, your eyes naturally become more reserved and calm.
This kind of change and expression is natural and cannot be faked.
Xin Yi looked at Sun Fuling with surprise: "It's amazing, Master, you're hiding it so secretly?"
"They are just teachers in the market." Sun Fuling said with a smile, "If you see the innocent eyes of children too many times, you will know that they are completely different from adults."
He Lingchuan ate and chatted with the envoy, and finally found out that he was the younger brother of the head of the Hanyuan Mansion. He specialized in practicing secret techniques passed down from his family, and had been in seclusion for fifteen years before leaving seclusion and joining the world two years ago.
Soon after, he received the mission to replace Lu Xun and go on an envoy to Panlong City. However, he was only responsible for delivering messages between Lingshan and Panlong City, and did not interfere with anything else.
He Lingchuan also knew that there was another person in charge of bilateral contacts.
There were no other customers in the store at this time, so He Lingchuan asked in detail about the situation of Hanyuan Mansion, such as how big the family's territory was, what industry they did for a living, how they usually interacted with Lingshan, what anecdotes there were in the territory, etc.
The cross-examination was so detailed that even Sun Fuling looked at him frequently.
Xin Yi answered them one by one in a good-tempered manner, but was also surprised: "I didn't expect Brother He to be so interested in my family."
"I'm just curious." He Lingchuan smiled, "The surname 'Xin' is not common. It seems that you are the only one I recognize."
Xin Yi also asked about the past battles in Panlong City, Qi Qi said: "I heard that Bejia Demon General Fu Shanlie secretly attacked Yuheng City, but was completely defeated by General He. Since the real master is here, can you tell me in detail?
explain?"
"It's just a dangerous battle." He Lingchuan briefly described the battle that day.
After hearing this, Xin Yi said: "This is the first time that Panlong City has defeated General Bejia head-on? They will not give up."
"Bejia is indeed angry." Since the battle of Yuheng City, Bejia's attention to Panlong City has increased, and the progress of the war seems to have accelerated compared to history.
"Beijia's plans are usually very long-term, and he can use his whole body when he pulls the trigger; Fushan Lie is a newly rising star, and his fighting methods are also very novel. General He's victory in Yuheng City this time is not simple at all.
.”
He Lingchuan was slightly stunned. When he was in charge of Yuheng City, his strategies against the Longchuan water bandits and Fushan Lie were very detailed. Even if bystanders could obtain information, it would be difficult to summarize and refine it.
Not to mention the visitor from a foreign land in front of him, even the soldiers and civilians of Yuheng City who witnessed the whole process do not know what the commander-in-chief did at that time and which ones really had the effect.
Xin Yi's ability to tell the truth was not based on his in-depth study of He Lingchuan's strategies, but his understanding of Bejia.
He can also draw the correct conclusion from Bega's perspective.
At this time, there was the sound of flapping wings outside.
The three of them looked up and saw the kestrel landing on the window and spitting words to He Lingchuan:
"Someone is causing trouble at Frost River Restaurant. The door panel asked me to inform the general."
"Who?" It's not uncommon for restaurants to cause trouble. After drinking, there are thousands of people in different moods. The question is, how can the door panel use trivial things to work for the superiors?
"Menpan's soldiers and people from the east."
Dongfang? He Lingchuan glanced at Xin Yi when he heard this: "How many people?"
"Seventeen or eight on each side." Kestrel said, "The reason was that some people from the east were drinking and making a lot of noise, and two soldiers under Menban went to stop them. As a result, the other party scolded... well, they complained that there were too many rules here, and both sides were talking too fast.
Just take action.”
He Lingchuan and Sun Fuling looked at each other and understood.
What kind of scolding? The other party probably cursed loudly.
Panlong City has strict rules, with hundreds of rules written about what is not allowed and what is not allowed. And this is the result of major adjustments after opening to the outside world. Otherwise, if you pick fruits on the roadside casually, you will be punished with a cane.
The city residents have long been used to it. But with such strict regulations, outsiders who have just arrived may not be used to it, and they may break the law if they are not careful. It is not a problem at ordinary times, but if you drink too much and talk without restraint, you will easily get into trouble.
"More and more people are getting in from both sides. I rushed over to take a look at the door and asked me to come find you."
When it comes to people coming from Lingshan, Menpan can't make up his mind, so he can only report it to his superiors.
Xin Yi interjected from the side: "Which side is seriously injured?"
He Lingchuan glanced at him and saw that this man had a strong desire to win.
Kestrel fluttered his feathers, ignored him, and only reported to He Lingchuan: "After they smashed four or five tables, they rushed to the martial arts hall, saying that the fight should not be in vain, and the winner should be decided on the ring."
No wonder the door panel must report: "Who made this suggestion?"
Private fighting is strictly prohibited in Panlong City, but if you really want to fight, you can resolve conflicts through the official arena. This method is usually not clear to outsiders who are new to the city, and only locals will do it.
"Door panel. He said that it can't be stopped anyway, so it's better to open it up than to block it. By the way, the loser has to compensate for the loss of the restaurant."
He Lingchuan smiled: "Having been with Liu Tiao for a long time, he has become smarter."
As soon as his eyes moved, Sun Fuling knew what he meant, and immediately stood up and said, "I'm full. There are classes in the academy in the afternoon, so I'll go first."
After saying that, she nodded goodbye to Xin Yi and turned to leave.
He Lingchuan threw some broken silver on the table, and as soon as he stood up, Xin Yi said: "I heard about Yuewu Hall when I first arrived in Panlong City. General He opened my eyes with me."
