After asking Lei Buji which inn he was staying in, Sun and Huang asked him to go back first.
Afterwards, the two of them went back to their rooms to wash up and ordered the waiter to prepare meals.
After about a cup of tea, the two returned to Huang Donglai's room. At this time, the food was also delivered. They closed the door and sat down, discussing while eating.
"It turns out that this doubt is still unresolved..." Sun Yixie had just swallowed the first bite of food in his mouth and said in a slightly worried tone.
"Yeah..." Huang Donglai knew exactly what the other party was talking about, "No matter what the rumors about us are on the streets now, these rumors must have a source." He paused and ate. After taking a bite of radish (it was too greasy last night, so they only ordered some porridge, radish, peanuts, pickles and other things to scratch their intestines), and then said, "It's like you were eaten by Shen Youran Who do you think spread the word about 'special invitation'?"
"There are many possibilities." Sun Yixie said, "First of all, Shen Youran, as an insider, and his coachman Lao Wu may have spread the news for some purpose.
"Secondly, as the organizer of this conference, the Justice Sect, in order to show fairness, naturally has to tell the other sects who have specially invited them before the Heroes Meeting to the other sects who have drawn up the invitation list, so the members of the other sects Insiders may also leak the information.
"In addition...don't forget that our families also know about this matter. We have never told them to keep this matter secret. What's more, this is not something shameful. Maybe they will Who will they accidentally tell... And once they tell this matter, the news will spread faster than us. Maybe even before we arrived in Luoyang, I was specially invited by Shen Youran. It has already reached here..."
Hearing this, Huang Donglai followed Sun Yixie's words and continued: "And when we first arrived yesterday, this matter was actually not that sensational, at least not to the point where everyone knew... As a result, we didn't go back to the building to dress up at night. If you come back, the heat will explode today."
"That's right." Sun Yixie said, "But this raises another question..." He raised his eyebrows and said, "Who spread the news about what happened last night when we were upstairs in Bugui?"
"That's hard to say." Huang Donglai continued, "In addition to you and me, there were also Mr. At that time, several waiters came to serve us food and clear the tables... Later, when we got drunk, it must have been carried back to the inn by several people; who knows what we had when we 'passed the three levels' How many people are around? Will Mr. Xue, Chef Yuan and others tell these things to their colleagues? Even if they don't directly spread the word, it is possible that it will be spread through other people's mouths."
"Well..." Sun Yixie nodded, "It's really hard to verify..."
"Nonsense." Huang Donglai raised his head and took a sip of porridge, then continued, "Even if you confront someone about this kind of thing, you may not be able to find out the reason; besides... they just said clearly that they were the ones who spread the news. Yes, what can you do? Speaking of which, this is all a matter of showing one’s face, and many people are afraid that someone will not know if they have done something similar."
"Sigh... I know all this." Sun Yixie sighed, "Who doesn't like fame and fortune? There is a saying that goes against it... But the problem is that when you enjoy fame and wealth, you have to have enough strength to protect it.
You have to do it yourself, otherwise you might be killed by someone in minutes."
"Hey~ How can I not know this?" Huang Donglai also sighed, "It's not like I haven't been fucked by others before. I'm also worried that when we first get here, we will be too sharp and become the target of public criticism." He spread his hands,
"But now that it's like this, what should we do?"
Sun Yixi listened and said nothing for a while.
He ate a few more times, thought about it, and soon came up with an idea: "Hmm... At this time, it seems that the only option is to use the 'Flowers in the Mirror, Moon in the Water' plus 'Finding wealth in danger'..."
"Oh?" Huang Donglai knew this guy so well that he understood immediately upon hearing it, "You mean... we should just pretend to be bigger and bluff so that others don't dare to mess with us?"
"As expected of you, Brother Huang, you will understand as soon as I tell you." Sun Yixie said with a smile.
"Then what exactly are you going to do?" Huang Donglai asked.
When Sun Yixie heard this, he raised the corner of his mouth and waved to Huang Donglai to come closer. Then he whispered a plan in Huang Donglai's ear...
…………
That afternoon, Sun and Huang didn't even say hello. They went straight to the main helm of Zhengyi Gate as soon as they came out of the inn.
After being stopped by the gatekeeper, the two of them announced their names on the spot and asked to see Master Shen.
If other newcomers had come so rashly, the gatekeeper would probably tell them that Master Shen was unavailable and tell them to get lost, or ask them to send a greeting card first; but...Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai are here today
They happen to be the talk of the town in Luoyang, and even the gatekeeper has heard about them.
So, after a brief hesitation, the doorman finally decided to go in and inform them, asking them to wait in front of the door for a while.
At this moment, Shen Youran was sitting in the room listening to the gang's financial report. When the brother who guarded the door came in and explained the situation, the leader of Shen was stunned...
However, after he was stunned for a few seconds, he quickly smiled and thought to himself: "These two boys... actually came to the door on their own initiative? What kind of idea is this? Hmph... it's kind of interesting."
Thinking of this, he asked the accounting gentleman to leave first, and then said: "Send someone to prepare some good tea and invite the two young masters as soon as possible."
Shen Youran's response made the doorman heave a sigh of relief. The latter was really afraid that the door owner would say, "Why did you just come and report the bird man when he came to the door? Next time if you do this again, I will kick you out too!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fortunately, Shen Youran not only didn't say that, but also gave instructions with an attitude like welcoming a distinguished guest, which couldn't help but make the gatekeeper feel again in his heart.
Gao glanced at Sun and Huang...
To make a long story short, a moment later, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai were sitting together in a small private room accompanied by Shen Youran.
Shen Youran did not invite them to the lobby of the Zhengyi Sect, which is reserved for guests, but chose the meeting place here. That means... I am not discussing official business with my martial arts colleagues as the leader of the Zhengyi Sect, but
Entertaining friends in a private capacity.
There is a big difference here - if your boss asks you to go to the conference room to talk about something and if he asks you to go to his house to talk about something, can the nature be the same?
It is not difficult to want to sit in the lobby of Justice Gate for a while, many people have been there; but it is not easy to ask Shen Youran to invite you to the back room for tea...
"My dear brothers, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?" Shen Youran was still the same, personable, well-spoken, and elegant in every gesture.
"Thanks to Brother Shen's great blessing, we are still well." Sun Yixie squinted his eyes and put on a flattering expression, and naturally called Shen Youran from "Master Shen" to "Master Shen" "Brother Shen".
Huang Donglai also used a similar tone and added with a smile on his face: "Originally, we wanted to come to visit Brother Shen as soon as we arrived in Luoyang. However, it was already evening when we entered the city yesterday, so we didn't dare to bother you; later we had a late night snack. I drank a few more drinks and got up late today, so I delayed my visit until now."
These words... are 70% true and 30% false.
The false part is that Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie did not intend to visit Shen Youran as soon as they came to Luoyang. But the true part is basically all objective facts.
If Shen Youran didn't fully understand the whereabouts of these two people, he might still have a little doubt about what he said. However... the actual situation is that he knew it very well.
From the moment Shuang Xie entered Luoyang, Shen Youran knew everything they did.
The reason is very simple, because this is Luoyang, his base camp of Shen Youran; he dare not say it in other places, but in this Luoyang land, whether it is official, martial arts, or private... there is no justice for him. Undetectable news.
Here, he, Shen Youran, is the number one person with sharp eyes and hands.
But precisely because he knew the whereabouts of Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai clearly, at this moment he felt that what they said was 100% true - the content of their words was all consistent with the information he had.
"Ha...it turns out they are two flatterers." At this moment, Shen Youran's wariness disappeared for the most part, and she dismissed the two of them with a sneer in her heart.
Of course, on the surface, he still responded with a smile: "Oh, you two worthy brothers, why should you be so polite? Yixie is someone Shen admires, and Donglai even saved me... My gate of Justice Gate is ready for you at any time. Open it up." He shook his head and said in a sincere tone, "Don't tell me it's evening, even if you come to visit us in the middle of the night, I, Shen, will greet you and treat you like a distinguished guest."
Shen Youran's acting skills are not bad either.
But he didn't know that as early as in Hangzhou, he was already being guarded by Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai as conspirators with ulterior motives. Now he was doing calculations without any intention, and he couldn't deceive them...
"Okay!" This is what Sun Yixie was waiting for. "Since Brother Shen, you have said it this way, then brother, I will have something to say directly..." The next lines can only be spoken by Brother Sun, who was as thick-skinned as a sacred cow, started, "I'm ashamed to say it... Last night we were upstairs at Bugui. We drank too much and unknowingly ordered a few more dishes, even though they kept the bill for the time being. It was noted down and they didn’t urge us to pay it right away, but we calculated that the little money we had left might not be enough..."
He is just telling lies with his eyes open. How can he still not be able to afford the meal money?
You know, before Sun Yixie went out, his mother secretly gave him a full six thousand taels of silver notes.
What is the concept of six thousand taels? Today, you can probably buy a second-hand house of about 40 square meters in the Second Ring Road of Beijing. With these six thousand taels, let alone from Hangzhou to Luoyang, if there is a land connection, If so, you can walk several times from Hangzhou to Los Angeles...
Although Sun Yixie has gone to the bank to exchange some silver intermittently along the way, he still has more than 5,000 taels of useless silver notes left with him. How much can he spend on a meal? Just a few dozen taels. It’s so overwhelming, how can he afford it?
"Oh..." Upon hearing the other party crying, the smile on Shen Youran's face grew wider, and the contempt in her heart deepened.
He thought to himself at that time: "Huh...he is still a fishmonger who is not good at anything." The fishmonger is greedy for money. Even though the family is not short of money, he still likes to take advantage of this kind of thing; and there is the man surnamed Huang. Yes, he and I are of the same breed, it’s true that birds of a feather flock together... It seems that the Huangmen family has really fallen into decline, and the descendants are already so poor..."
At this point, Shen Youran's wariness has been reduced by another 30%, and she has basically regarded Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai as those extremely low martial arts bastards.
"Haha... it's a small thing, a small thing." But Shen Youran still had a smile on his face and was polite, "Everyone has money when they are out and about. Brother, I will send someone to deliver the money soon. Go and settle the bill for you, and treat last night’s meal as my treat for you.”
Before Shen Youran finished speaking, Huang Donglai spoke again: "Uh... Actually, it's not just about the meal." He paused for half a second, showing a somewhat embarrassed look, and then continued, "Let's figure it out. There are still about ten days until the Mid-Autumn Festival, plus the Heroes Association itself will be held for a few more days, so it will be almost half a month. With the little money we have... I'm afraid it won't be enough to stay in the inn for that long. of. "
Halfway through his words, Sun Yixie on the side also took advantage of the situation and continued: "So we thought, since Brother Shen's Zhengyi Sect is in Luoyang and we have this friendship, we might as well... let's come to Brother Shen's place. Come and stay for a few days, so I can get closer to you, big brother."
If Lord Shen could speak English, there would be one sentence that would be very suitable to express his mood at the moment - Wo...De...Fake?
After listening to Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai's request, even a calm and calm person like Shen Youran couldn't help complaining in his heart: "What kind of relationship do I have with you two? We just met once before! Let me just say something. Speaking of which, do you really think of yourself as my biological brother? We talked together for a long time... Not only do you two want me to pay your debts, but you also want to come to my Justice Gate to eat and live? "
But...he had no choice.
What he said just now was so beautiful. If he refuses now, it will appear that he is hypocritical and stingy.
"Haha...hehe..." Shen Youran still smiled politely, but the smile was a little stiff, "This matter... uh... it's not difficult at all." He replied bravely, "For brother There are still a lot of vacant rooms in the Justice Gate. Food and accommodation for two more people won’t be a problem. It’s just that my brother is busy with work on weekdays, so I’m afraid I don’t have much time to spend with him..."
"It's okay, it's okay." Sun Yixie interrupted before he could finish, "Brother Shen, you are busy with your business. We will never disturb you when you are not free. We will find things to do ourselves. Don't worry about whether we will comfortable."
Shen Youran thought to herself: "That's right, how shameless are you two? Just now you personally said that you want to be 'closer and closer' to me, and now you immediately said, 'As long as I have food and shelter, is there anyone with my surname Shen here? It doesn’t matter, how can you feel uncomfortable with this mentality?"
"Okay..." After taking a breath, Shen Youran suppressed her anger, twitched the corners of her mouth and said "good", and then continued, "I will tell people to arrange... um... do you want me to send someone to the inn to collect your luggage… …"
"Oh, we have already brought our luggage. It's just two bags and a trident. It's just a casual thing, so we took it with us. We've also checked out the room in the inn, so we don't need to bother Brother Shen's brothers anymore. We are going for a run." Huang Dong told the truth. Before they entered the house, they had handed over their baggage and weapons to the gatekeeper for safekeeping. They are now in the warehouse of the Justice Gate.
After hearing this, Shen Youran's face turned green, and she thought to herself that you two had already planned to blackmail me to death when you came here, right? You have no plans to leave today?
But no matter how much he hates these two people now, he can't drive them away, let alone neglect them; because the reputation of these two people has spread throughout Luoyang City, and everyone knows that they are the two of you Shen Youran went to Hangzhou in person. " "Invite"... Today they walked into your Justice Gate from the main gate in a big way. Many pairs of eyes must have seen it. If you drive them out or treat them poorly, they will add fuel to the fire after they go out. My son said, what's going on?
Suppress newcomers? Are you jealous of talented people? Or are you saying that you, Shen Youran, have nothing to lose? Are you afraid of adding two pairs of chopsticks?
What do fellow martial artists think of you? What do you think of the Gate of Justice?
At this point, Shen Youran regretted letting out the "intelligence" about these two people; originally, he planned to use these two people as targets to distract others so that he could do things in secret, but unexpectedly the news came to light. Less than a day after they dispersed, these two guys just ran to live in the Gate of Justice with shame... He couldn't refuse, wouldn't this be digging his own grave?
Just when he was secretly upset, something even more unexpected happened...
"By the way, Brother Shen, I have two more things to tell you." Sun Yixie quickly started talking again.
"My dear brother...but it doesn't matter." The veins on Shen Youran's temples were twitching, but the expression on his face was still tense, and he could barely be considered friendly.
"Well, let me tell you something about myself first." Sun Yixie said, reaching out and taking out a crumpled, folded piece of paper, "I... have an inner skill here. I want to Please take a look at Brother Shen and give me some advice..."
