On the second floor of the restaurant, Cao Su and three of his subordinates were sitting there drinking wine and eating meat.
Cao Su opened the window and looked outside. Today's Yincheng night was particularly lively.
"Sir, today is the Full Moon Festival. In the next three days, Yincheng will lift the city ban and curfew, leaving only the city ban. Markets inside and outside the city will be allowed to open for three days, and major merchants will open their markets."
Three subordinates were discussing over there.
Restaurants, teahouses, gourmet bars, gambling houses... all kinds of commercial entities are ready to operate all night long.
Just downstairs, such an ordinary restaurant was packed with guests, both inside and outside.
"Yincheng is a large city in Lingzhou with a large population. I have only heard that this place is lively, but I didn't expect it to be so prosperous." Another subordinate followed up the conversation.
"Yes, it seems that this place has not been affected by the war, and the residents live and work in peace and contentment."
"It's better to be peaceful. If Wan Ping's thieves hadn't caused trouble, we should be living in peace in Ping City at this moment. How could we come to a place like this?"
"The Wanping thief is really hateful. If I encounter him, I will kill him quickly!"
"Drink, drink!"
A few people chatted and came to pay homage to Cao Su with big bowls.
Although Cao Su said nothing, he would not refuse anyone who came. As long as he respected him, he would accept them all.
He has profound skills and a large capacity for drinking. He can drink a few jars without any problem.
Several of them had drank with Cao Su in the army before. Knowing Cao Su's drinking capacity, they would not fight with Cao Su again.
"Sir, how long will we stay in Yincheng?"
After drinking, one of them became bolder and took the initiative to ask Cao Su about his plan.
The other two people also stopped and looked at Cao Su with burning eyes.
Cao Su put down the wine bowl, paused and said: "The Yincheng incident will be difficult to resolve in the short term. I will also find another way to solve this problem. As for you, I have my own arrangements, so don't worry."
"Don't worry, according to the marching speed of the Centurion, we will definitely arrive at Fufeng City before Zhang Ke and the others."
Cao Su and the other four are all masters of strength, and their speed cannot be judged by common sense.
If he ran alone, with the strength of his feet, the distance from Yincheng to Fufeng City, which is more than three hundred miles, would take at most half a day including rest time.
"It's not that I'm worried about this. I just feel that Yincheng is so prosperous, but it's just a facade. After all, these things don't belong to us warriors."
"Hey, I'm used to licking blood from the knife edge for a long time, so I'm really not used to it."
When Cao Su heard their Versailles speech, he couldn't help but laugh, and shook his head helplessly: "You guys, Zhang Ke and the others will definitely blame me for not bringing them here when they hear what you said."
"He dares?"
The three of them laughed and said, "He doesn't dare to be presumptuous in front of adults."
Cao Su was silent, but his subordinate's words gave him a wake-up call.
No matter what, he finally has some clues. The next thing to do is to find out who is hiding behind him, and at the same time continue to practice martial arts. It is best to build his strength to a higher level.
Even if you go to Fufeng City in the future, you can visit Yincheng several times.
Then he needs to set up a sub-station here to collect corresponding intelligence.
The three people in front of me...
"Drink, drink!"
The three subordinates are pretty good, but they are typical battlefield veterans and are not suitable for this job.
Cao Su was silent. He had to find someone else. A graceful woman in plain clothes suddenly appeared in his mind.
Meng Yao is quite suitable, but he is too weak now and needs to be tempered for a while.
Thinking about it this way, he really is short of people.
Most of them are rough guys in the army who only know how to fight and kill, so they can only chop people.
........
While several people were drinking and eating meat, Cao Su's ears twitched slightly.
Suddenly, I heard a few gangsters chatting about the rebels under the restaurant.
These gangsters are all Qi-blood warriors. Some hold knives and some hold sticks. They are all tall and thick and look fierce.
"You have heard that a horrific attack occurred last night dozens of miles west of the city!"
"What? Brother Jiang said, come and listen, why haven't I heard of it?"
The well-informed brother Jiang said proudly: "Brother Sun, the news is lagging behind! My brother who is a servant in our government told me that there was a battle between thousands of people at the foot of Dongyu Mountain last night, and someone let go
The fire was so intense that it burned all night long!"
"You guys slept well last night. If you wake up and go to the city, you can still vaguely see some firelight in the sky, but it is said to be very weak and even those with poor eyesight can't see it."
Several men were extremely shocked after hearing this.
A man grabbed Brother Jiang and asked: "Brother Jiang, why have we never heard about such a big event today? In a battle involving thousands of people, which two sects started fighting? Why did they go to the wild to fight, and why did they fight in the city?
Wouldn’t it be nice for everyone to open their eyes?”
Their first reaction was that the sects in Yincheng were fighting.
There are also many powerful sects in Yincheng, and some sects have a large number of people. Although they are not as good as the three major sects in Lingzhou, they are still considered a powerful force in the local area. It is not difficult to gather hundreds of people to fight.
"No, you are wrong. They are not sect warriors, but officers and soldiers."
"I heard that they are officers and soldiers who have just arrived in Yincheng to rest and prepare to go to Yuzhou to join the war to fight against the Wanping rebels." Brother Jiang's information was very accurate, but such accuracy made several men feel incredible.
.
A man wondered: "Brother Jiang, isn't this right? I haven't heard of any officers and soldiers going to Yuzhou to fight in Lingzhou!"
"Yeah, what force dares to use officers and soldiers? In Lingzhou, even the three major sects don't dare to do this, right?"
Brother Jiang was stunned by the question and didn't know how to refute the question. He scratched his head and said awkwardly: "Maybe, maybe it's because these officers and soldiers are from other states?"
"Why do you need to come to Yincheng from outside the state? Wouldn't it be better to go directly to Yuzhou? Brother Jiang, is this news of yours true?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! A few people still don’t believe it, it’s a bit outrageous no matter what they hear.
Brother Jiang was speechless and even a little angry when he was asked. He shared the information with good intentions, but a few bad friends kept trying to cause trouble. It was really shameful.
He replied stiffly: "In short, it was our brother who said it. You guys also know that the captain in the government army is a master of the middle level of strength. How can there be any lies in what he said?"
"That's right. Since it's the brother of the Jiang family, we naturally believe it."
When several men saw that Brother Jiang had moved his brothers out, they had nothing to say.
But in his heart, he secretly despised him for using his brother for entertainment in everything. Sooner or later, the reputation of the Jiang family would be defeated by this Jiang Er.
Cao Su glanced at the distance and found that he was seven to eight feet away from the men at the table. As a result, he heard every word of their conversation.
His ears moved slightly, and he could hear the slightest sound of wind clearly.
This is the function of internal strength.
He had always had a sharp ear, but now his ears tended to be attuned to the wind. In this restaurant, he could listen to whatever sounds he wanted, no matter how big or small.
I even heard some unpleasant sounds coming from the guest room upstairs in the restaurant.
The tone and appearance of those words are obviously something that can only be heard in the hook bar.
Cao Su had a look of disdain on his face. He didn't expect that this seemingly serious restaurant was also doing some illegal business secretly.
It's boring to hear this kind of sound too much.
He couldn't help but change his posture to listen to the sound.
At this time, the waiter carrying the dinner plate came upstairs.
"Guests, the best soy sauce beef is here!"
At Cao Su's strong request, the beef with soy sauce he ordered was brought to the table. Three subordinates fawningly brought the beef with soy sauce in front of Cao Su, disturbing him: "Sir, this is the beef you ordered."
Why do you need to eat beef when drinking alcohol?
Although a few people did not understand it, it did not prevent them from conditioned reflex to obey Cao Su's request.
"Beef is good. When you drink, you have to eat beef. To be honest, I can't drink much without five pounds of soy beef."
Cao Su picked up his chopsticks, put the cut beef into his mouth and chewed it.
"This is the feeling I want! This beef tastes really good."
A few of them looked good, imitating Cao Su's example, eating beef and drinking wine.
I couldn't help but frown. I didn't notice any extra smell?
But there was a look of surprise on his face: "Don't tell me, it's a little different!"
"That's right, it does taste good. Beef paired with wine, my lord, is perfect!"
Cao Su looked at the three subordinates with eager eyes and nodded with satisfaction.
"Please pay attention in the future, all heroes are like this."
"A pot of wine and five pounds of meat will be exchanged for fine wine, and they will be sold together for eternal sorrow."
He didn't drink much, but he started talking nonsense.
Several subordinates nodded after listening.
Although I didn't understand it, I was very shocked.
They all praised the adults for their literary talent.
The four of them drank together for half the night and drank several jars of wine.
The boss couldn't stop smiling when he saw it, and he didn't close his mouth all night.
........
........
The next day.
Cao Su led four of his subordinates out of Yincheng.
The four of them rode on horseback, found a carriage, and headed west with the gold and silver jewelry they had plundered from Song Jian's house.
After running for half a day, we arrived at the foot of Dongyu Mountain.
The smell of burning is no longer at the foot of the mountain, but some dark burn marks on the ground can still be seen vaguely.
The wind from Daye Lake blew through the trees of Dongyu Mountain, taking away all the bloody smell that night.
History will not remember the insignificant, and the name will eventually become its own symbol.
The few people didn't make any stop and continued whizzing past Dongyu Mountain.
The terrain becomes gentler and gentler, and some weed-like vegetation appears on the ground.
In the land in the wilderness, we saw some crops growing well.
Farmland is criss-crossed, wild flowers are everywhere, and landscape paintings are slowly unfolding.
Thousands of miles of fertile fields, the border of Yuzhou!
