The old drunkard trembled all over, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Hey! It was almost. Fortunately, the master is here, otherwise I would be doomed. Without anyone to help me control here, sooner or later I will be doomed..."
"What does this guy mean?!"
"What do you want to do by asking me about my identity?!"
"Do you want to see if I can pose a threat to him?! Or something else?!"
The old drunkard also had a bit of dissatisfaction in his expression.
"Thankfully, I still regarded him as a real alcoholic and treated him like a drinking buddy. I never expected that he would treat me like this now. I really betrayed my trust in him!"
The old drunkard's words also contained doubts. He had never expected that this would be the case.
Things have come to this point!
It has its disadvantages, but it also has certain advantages.
At least after this trial, the old drinker will no longer think that he has any other thoughts, and will simply think that he just wants to drink here.
The old drunkard is the shopkeeper here?!
This is good news.
Originally, the old drunkard wanted to continue to inquire about the shopkeeper here.
No need to worry about it now.
I already found the shopkeeper right here.
This is much more convenient.
With the shopkeeper's information, the old drunkard will also contact him here to find out some of the other party's needs. As long as there are people in need, he can find a way to use them and make them become Lin Ming's servants!
This comes bit by bit...
"hey-hey!"
The old drunkard chuckled twice and continued:
"Old drunkard, you want to explore my origins, but now you have exposed your origins. Don't worry, I will make good use of your origins and will never let it go to waste here!"
The old drunkard's words were filled with determination.
When he looked around again, his eyes returned to normal, and he saw that the old drunkard was also lying next to him, and he quickly pushed him here.
"Old drunkard!"
"Old drunkard!"
After calling several times in succession, the other party seemed to have just woken up here and quickly agreed.
"Old drunkard, what's wrong?!"
"We drank too much and fell asleep here!"
The old drunkard didn't care, as if he hadn't seen the previous scene of the other party at all, and continued here:
"Old drunkard, have you drunk too much? It seems that we met very late. I have never been drunk before."
"Old drunkard, I think it's getting light. Let's see you later! I'm lucky to meet you here. I don't know how to contact you in the future?!"
"I drink here every day. Even when I'm away, if you talk to the guy and ask for the location of my old drunkard, he will still tell you."
The old drunkard did not shy away from the fact that he had a certain connection with his buddy.
Immediately asked:
"Old drunkard, aren't you going to drink today?!"
"Drink, of course I have to drink, but since I can't get the immortal drunk here, I don't plan to wait here. This is my first time entering the inner city, and I just want to take a look around the inner city if I have time.
, after I finish the tour, I will come back here to taste the fine wine here!"
"If so, then we'll see you next time!"
The old drunkard didn't have the slightest intention to stay, so he allowed the old drunkard to leave.
"Um."
The old drunkard was not polite and greeted immediately:
"Man, check out."
The guy came over, took a quick look, and said:
"Congratulations, you are the 16666th customer to check out in our store. Our shopkeeper said that this is his lucky number, so for this customer, our store will not only give you a free order, but also
I will also give you a jar of Heavenly Immortal Drunk as a gift!"
"ah?!"
When the old drunkard heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said quickly:
"So good?! So, I don't have to wait another year to get a piece of Tianxian Zui?!"
"certainly!"
The guy said without hesitation.
What he just said was just an excuse.
What is the number of customers?
How could he have the time to remember this?!
Moreover……
Even if there are really many customers, they don't have this free order activity at all.
Everything was ordered by the old drunkard yesterday, asking him to find an excuse to give the old drunkard another jar of heavenly drunkenness.
So it doesn't matter how many customers the old drunkard is, what matters is how to deliver the drink to the old drunkard.
Everything must have a reasonable excuse.
The old drunkard had already seen this scene from the memory Lin Ming gave him, and he already knew who gave him this drink.
He didn't point it out here, he just pretended not to know and said to the waiter first:
"Then you have to help me thank the shopkeeper here!"
"I will come here often if I have the opportunity in the future. I don't know if I will have the opportunity to meet your shopkeeper!"
The guy said without changing his expression:
"If you have the chance, our shopkeeper often comes to the store to drink. You will definitely be able to see him. But you don't know if he wants to see you. If he is willing, you will naturally be able to see him. If he is not willing...
…”
After a short pause, the guy continued:
"Please wait here for a moment while I prepare the Heavenly Immortal Drunk for you!"
The guy went to get Tianxian drunk.
The old drunkard then looked at the old drunkard and asked quickly:
"Old drunkard, it seems that I am really lucky to encounter such a good thing here. Tell me, you must have been drinking here for a long time?! Have you ever met their shopkeeper here?!"
"No!"
The old drunkard shook his head without hesitation and said:
"The shopkeeper here is mysterious. No one has ever seen his true face. I heard rumors that this guy is actually the shopkeeper. It's just that he doesn't want to use the name of the shopkeeper, so he shirks that he is the shopkeeper.
!”
If the old drunkard hadn't already seen the scene of the clerk addressing the old drunkard as the shopkeeper from Lin Ming's memory, he might really believe what the old drunkard said now.
It's just that he has already seen the other party's picture and knows that the old drunkard is the shopkeeper here.
What the old drunkard is doing now is just a small performance here.
Even if he knew that the other party was performing, the old drunkard had to admit that what this old drunkard performed here was also very real!
"The guy is the shopkeeper?!"
The old drunkard pretended not to know and said:
"Then I really have to thank this guy again. Do you think this drink was brewed by their shopkeeper?! Look, old drinker, do you want to join forces with me? Let's find an opportunity to rob the shopkeeper here.
Yes, grab all his drinks and secret recipes, so that in the future we can drink as much Tianxian Zui as we want, and we won’t have to do what we do now!”
When the old drunkard heard this, he smiled bitterly and lowered his voice and said:
"You just came to the inner city. You don't know how deep this place is. Look at this place. It's overcrowded every day. I don't know how many people want to drink this fairy drunk, but no one dares to take the idea of the shopkeeper here. Do you know
why is that?!"
"Why?!"
The old drunkard continued to ask.
He was indeed a little puzzled that the drunken gods in this tavern were so drunk, so he must be liked by other wine lovers.
Why does this guy dare to sell openly here?!
"Because this tavern is said to be related to the city lord!"
The old drunkard's voice became even lower.
"In our Hanyuan City, the most powerful person is none other than the City Lord. He is the de facto ruler of the entire Hanyuan City. Everyone's actions will be affected by him, even though he doesn't show up very often.
, but once something happens, it’s time to use thunderous means! Just like this tavern now, it is said that it has the background of the other party. Look at which force in the entire city wants to be here honestly, and they will never be here.
There's something going on here!"...
"It's not that they don't want to, it's that they don't dare... to make trouble here is equivalent to offending the city lord. When the time comes, the city lord's thunderous wrath will make them unable to eat and walk around!"
When the old drunkard was talking, he also caught a glimpse of the guy coming back, and he quickly signaled the old drunkard not to talk about this matter again.
The old drunkard also saw the waiter coming over, holding a jar of wine in his hand.
He put the drink in front of the old drunkard.
"Here you go, your heavenly drunkenness!"
"etc!"
Seeing the waiter put down Tian Xian Zui and was about to leave, the old drunkard stopped him. At the same time, the old drunkard also put Tian Xian Zui away.
The clerk looked at him with some confusion and asked:
"What's the matter?!"
"There is indeed something going on?! I heard that you are the shopkeeper here?! You gave me this bottle of wine?! I also heard that your restaurant is related to the City Lord's Mansion?! I don't know if it's true?!
"
The old drunkard's words made the old drunkard beside him widen his eyes with disbelief on their faces.
He never expected that the old drunkard would ask questions here in public.
The most important thing is that even this guy can see that the old drunkard has not had any contact with other people since he came here.
I just talked to the old drunkard here.
In other words, the so-called heard about the old drunkard is simply not what others say, but what the old drunkard says.
This direct inquiry scene is no different from a roll call report.
The clerk also had a puzzled look on his face, he couldn't believe that he would meet such a person here!
He glanced at the old drunkard vaguely and said quickly:
"Nonsense! I'm just a little boy. As for whether there is a city lord taking care of me here, I don't know!"
"Thank you, go and do your work!"
The old drunkard thanked him again before letting the other party leave, but there was a bit of a smile in his eyes.
All of this was naturally displayed on purpose by him.
Doesn’t the old drunk want to look good here?!
Then he will satisfy the other party's idea and let the other party pretend here...
He wanted to see if the relationship between this guy and the old drunkard would be exposed here.
The old drunkard doesn't intend to expose them directly here. After he really exposes them here, how can the old drunkard explain that he knew it after he was drunk?
Some things cannot be explained.
Unable to explain it, the old drunkard would naturally not explain it easily.
Just because he doesn't say it doesn't mean he doesn't know what's going on.
After the guy left, the old drunkard also said with a worried look:
"Old drunkard, why did you tell him about this?!"
"What?! Can't we talk about this?!"
The old drunkard looked surprised and said:
"I've always been a straight-forward person, and I've always done things the way they should be?! The owner of this tavern doesn't look like this guy, and I don't know if he has shares in the city lord behind it?!"
"hey-hey!"
The old drunkard shook his head helplessly and said helplessly:
"Didn't I tell you just now?! The guy will never admit that he is the boss. As for the city lord, he doesn't want to talk to you about it at all. Didn't you see his attitude?!"
"oh!"
The old drunkard nodded belatedly and said quickly:
"So that's it, you mean he won't tell us the truth at all?!"
"certainly!"
The old drunkard said with certainty:
"Don't say it's to you, even to me, an acquaintance, he would definitely not tell the truth here easily!"
After a short pause, he continued:
"After all, our relationship is here. We don't know each other well, and he doesn't need to tell the truth to us here, don't you think?!"
"yes!"
The old drunkard nodded in agreement and said:
"If you think about it this way, there is no problem at all. That's right. There is really no need for him to come and tell us about this!"
After agreeing, he sighed again!
"Hey, if this happens, I will be in some trouble here. At least in the short term, I won't be able to really find the boss here!"
"No, I still have to find a way to find the other party's boss!"
The old drunkard's eyes showed determination!
He said he would find the other party's boss here, and he would never be done without finding out the other party's boss.
This is the persona he established here.
It was also the persona he deliberately displayed in front of the old drunkard.
I have this persona in me!
With gradual strengthening, in the future, the old drunkard will be able to truly trust himself, let the other party trust his words, become Lin Ming's disciple, and become an insider of the Hongmeng Sect!
The old drunkard also looked in the direction of Lin Ming, his eyes full of depression. He never thought that he would meet such a pure person like the old drunkard!
Now that he has reached this stage, what he can do is to establish himself as a person so that he can discuss the next step with the old drunk!
Before that, he couldn't talk about the Hongmeng Sect here at all!
