Chapter 1952 This is a slip of the tongue of the little old man, dare to ask the three father-in-laws
Inside a large-scale restaurant about forty miles away from Luoyang City, the shopkeeper was yawning rather boredly.
It was only morning, and the merchants and traders who rested here last night had already had their breakfast, paid their bills and left.
Next, I was afraid that no customers would arrive until noon. I got up early, and the shopkeeper who was responsible for collecting money was about to tell the shop assistant to go back and catch up on his sleep.
Then I heard the sound of galloping hooves coming from outside the restaurant. In a short time, a handsome young man with a face as white as jade stepped into the restaurant.
This is a very good-looking handsome young man, but unfortunately he has such an unsightly belly, which is really annoying to the eyes.
The person who entered the restaurant side by side with him looked so tall and heroic, with a majestic air and eyes like lightning. In short, he was not easy to mess with.
The other one had a smile on his face, as if he was a nice and friendly person, but his eyes looked a little sneaky.
The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up. There were so many followers behind these three young men, and they were all wearing brocade clothes and robes. They looked like they were both rich and noble.
The shopkeeper felt as if he saw three festive-looking fat sheep walking quickly with enchanting steps.
"Oh, I have met the three young masters. Do you want to stay in a hotel or have a meal?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the tall and heroic young man with electric eyes leaned over slightly and looked at the shopkeeper with a serious expression.
"Are you the manager of this restaurant?"
"Yes, that's right, little old man."
"Are your eyes not so good?"
"???" Everyone looked at Cheng Sanlang with a confused look on his face, who was talking nonsense here with a serious expression.
The shopkeeper looked at this young man who could beat him twenty times, and endured it for the sake of money.
"This young master, my eyes are indeed not very good, but I can still tell that the three young masters are noble people."
Cheng Sanlang then patted the restaurant owner and spoke seriously.
"It seems there's nothing wrong with your eyesight. Please be more careful next time you interact with others.
Who would come to stay at the hotel so early in the morning? Do you think people sleep during the day and feel refreshed at night?"
"Yes, yes, this is a slip of the tongue. I dare to ask the three gentlemen... Mr...."
Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, he saw this tall young man who was talking nonsense taking out a yellow and shiny gold ingot, and his eyes immediately bulged.
"What did you call us?!" Li Ke, who just thought Brother Chu Bi was too much, suddenly got angry. He raised his eyes and pointed at the blind old man and said angrily.
When the shopkeeper saw the fierce looks in the eyes of the three young masters, he almost peed in fear, and quickly nodded and bowed.
"Young Master, three young masters, the little old man's mouth was trembling just now."
Looking at the tall and heroic young man with a fierce look on his face, the shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up. "I think I've seen you before, young master..."
"Is it at the Luoyang Peony Festival?" Cheng Sanlang said casually, and the shopkeeper immediately slapped him on the thigh.
"Oh, it's really Cheng San, oh no, I've seen little Taibao Cheng."
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, this thing is yours, you can go about your business as usual.
But your chef has returned to Cheng. Xin Xin, Cheng Fa, Cheng Da, you go to the chef first and keep an eye on it. Don’t forget what I told you."
"Good sir, don't worry." The three disciples, who were taught by Cheng Sanlang's words and deeds, walked straight towards the back with evil smiles on their faces, and several fat and strong Cheng family members also hurriedly followed.
"Little Cheng Taibao, little old man, I'm doing a serious business, and it's all innocent..."
The shopkeeper couldn't help but feel a little panicked. What kind of trick was he trying to do?
At this time, the jade-faced young man with a big belly pulled the shopkeeper aside with a smile.
He muttered a few words in a low voice, and then flashed something at the other party.
The shopkeeper's face suddenly changed. His legs softened and he fell to his knees. Li Ke quickly helped him up.
"Okay, no need to be polite, Xiao Wang just needs you to make a living as usual, and wait until I'm gone."
"Yes, yes, Xiaomin understands, Xiaomin understands what should be done. Now, Your Highness, please return it to that little Cheng Taibao..."
Cheng Chubi couldn't help but waved his hand towards the timid shopkeeper.
"Okay, you shopkeeper, do you think we are thugs who bully the market?"
"Remember, just do your job well and don't show any flaws."
"Brother Jingyang, ask the brothers to lead the mounts farther away. Don't let anyone see any flaws."
"Okay, I'll leave some brothers outside to keep an eye on the horses so they can move around if something happens."
The old shopkeeper's face was covered in cold sweat from fear. He looked like a group of strong men preparing to do bad things.
If His Highness the Prince reveals his identity, and he is well-informed, he will also recognize Cheng Sanlang.
Maybe he really thought that there was a group of strongmen who wanted to take his rip-off restaurant and transform it into a black shop that might kill people.
#####
In order to prevent those Tufan people from breaking into the restaurant.
A group of people hid in the guest rooms in the courtyard behind the restaurant, while another group of people jumped upstairs with knives and bows.
There are also about twenty men who are responsible for guarding the mounts. In addition, if reinforcements are needed here, they will immediately transform into elite cavalry.
The other thing is to ask the kitchen to quickly deliver some food to everyone. After all, they came here very early in the morning and haven't even filled their stomachs yet.
All matters had been arranged, Cheng Sanlang, Li Ke, and Li Zhen wandered to the private room on the second floor.
Squatting in front of the warm Zhenguan stove, Cheng Jie and others brought food and wine in a short time.
But at this moment, these three young people who stayed up late playing cards and galloping for dozens of miles could not hold on any longer and fell asleep directly next to the Zhenguan stove.
"What should I do?" Li De couldn't help but asked Cheng Jie in a low voice.
"What else can we do? Let them sleep. We happen to be hungry. Let's fill our bellies first. When they wake up, let others get food for them."
After a while, Li De, Cheng Jie and a few guards started eating and drinking in the private room.
After greeting everyone below, the shopkeeper walked to the second floor, with a smile on his face, and went to the private room where His Highness King Wu and the others were.
Then, the shopkeeper's flattering smile froze on his face.
What did he see? He saw Cheng Sanlang and other three nobles who were still accusing him of talking nonsense just now. No one sleeps during the day and is awake at night.
At this moment, he was lying in front of the Zhenguan stove, snoring rhythmically.
His Highness the King of Wu even scratched his upright belly inelegantly and continued to sleep soundly.
