After Zhao Rang came out of the three-story building, his mind was filled with Xifeng's extremely troubled face, which was both obscene and funny.
What broke his "gentleness" was not something enigmatic, but a word.
After rejecting his proposal, Zhao Rang had already walked to the door, but unexpectedly turned around and said to him: "Either the west wind overwhelms the east wind, or the east wind overwhelms the west wind."
It means that everyone in this world has his own destiny, but in the end it is a number of five to five. Either you surrender to me, or I surrender to you.
With Xifeng's mind, of course he quickly understood the implication of these words.
However, what he heard was a threat, and he thought Zhao Rang was teasing him with these words to succumb to others and be willing to be a hawk and a dog, and his life was in danger.
He was so angry that as soon as Zhao Rang came downstairs, he swept all the pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the long table to the ground and smashed them to pieces.
At this moment, there was a strange confusion in his eyes, but they soon became clear and firm.
Zhao Rang never imagined that his careless words from the book would cause such big waves in the future.
At this moment, he was leisurely walking towards the shop where he drank before, thinking about having a few more drinks with the girl. After all, a suitable drinking partner is much harder to find than a soulmate!
When he got closer, he found that the store door was closed, and Zhao Rang suddenly felt a sense of guilt towards the girl for no reason.
Obviously I am the customer who spends money to drink, but why is it reversed, as if I am the store owner who does not treat the customers well?
Fortunately, Zhao Rang quickly put this thought behind him and returned to his previous good mood.
Because he held two jars of spring from the Western Regions in his arms.
These two jars of Western Spring were of course sent by the west wind, and they were said to be aged wines. Even in the upper four countries of the Western Regions, they were hard to buy even with money.
Although this person is very hypocritical, he still means what he says! He is not on the same road, otherwise he might be able to try to be friends.
Zhao Rang walked briskly and hummed a little tune as he walked into the courtyard of the Admiralty Inn.
A group of bodyguards in the courtyard used braziers and torches to illuminate the entire courtyard, making it look like it was noon in the daytime.
There was a table in the middle, with a teapot and two teacups on it. Jin Sanliang sat at the table, sipping tea.
He took off the cloak that symbolized the "vice-general escort chief" and wore a smart short jacket. He looked vigorous and vigorous, as if he was more than ten years younger!
Seeing Zhao Rang walk in, Jin Sanliang immediately stood up to greet him and politely invited him to sit down and have a drink with him.
"This is the Yunwu Mountain Tea I brought from the North!"
When you are away from home, it is inevitable to feel homesick.
Jin Sanliang thought that Zhao Rang would be overjoyed, but he didn't expect that he just said hello in a hurry and rejected the invitation, and then walked straight to his house in the courtyard.
"Brother, wait a minute!"
Jin Sanliang called after him.
Zhao Rang turned around and asked doubtfully:
"Brother Jin, what else can you do?"
For the first time, Zhao Rang did not call him "vice-general escort chief", but instead used the names the two of them used when they were on the escort journey.
This was not because he was interested in what Jin Sanliang wanted, but because he was in such a good mood that he simply couldn't care about these details.
"Ahem, I see what brother is holding in his arms seems to be wine?"
Seeing Jin Sanliang asking about wine, Zhao Rangke became interested. He immediately turned around and came back, put the two jars in his arms on the table and said:
"Look, it's a good wine! Would you like a drink?"
Jin Sanliang could tell at a glance that this wine was extraordinary, because the porcelain used in the wine jar was excellent, delicate and soft, and it would not be stained with dust no matter how long it was left.
"Excuse me, brother, what kind of wine is this?"
Zhao Rang opened a jar mysteriously, and the aroma of wine rose into the sky from the mouth of the jar, and soon spread to every corner of the yard.
The bodyguards who had been on duty so diligently before sniffed their noses when they smelled the fragrance.
"This is……"
With Jin Sanliang's knowledge, he had already made a guess when he saw the jar. Now that he smelled the aroma of wine, he was even more certain.
"The best 'Western Region Spring' for at least twenty-five years!"
When Jin Sanliang was a young escort who had just entered the industry, he came into contact with the best Western Region Spring.
At that time, the powerful country was rich and the people were strong, but the countries in the western regions were as silent as a tremble, so they had no choice but to take out the most precious things as gifts and offer them to the superior country.
The boss of the Admiralty Escort Bureau did a very appropriate thing for the royal family, so he was given a pot.
In order to show his generosity, the boss of the escort opened the wine jug in front of everyone and poured the wine into a large vat so that everyone in the escort agency could share a cup.
The cup Jin Sanliang received was so watery that he could no longer taste the wine. When he first opened the pot of wine, the unique aroma left an unforgettable impression on him! Later he found out that the pot of wine was the twenty-five year old wine.
The best spring in the Western Regions.
The jar of wine that Zhao Rang opened now has the same aroma as before.
"Brother Jin really knows the goods! Come on, let's go have a drink?"
Of course, having a drinking companion is better than drinking alone, which just makes up for the loss of the girl who closed the shop.
Zhao Rang picked up the wine jar, grabbed Jin Sanliang's sleeves and dragged him into the house.
"Thank you for your kindness, brother, but I must not drink alcohol tonight!"
"A teetotaler? Do you have to? What's the point of this!"
Zhao Rang asked.
Jin Sanliang smiled bitterly and pointed at the escorts in the yard and explained:
"The money and goods will be delivered tomorrow. Now the whole city knows that the Admiralty Escort Agency has made a big deal. I don't know how many people are thinking about it, secretly or openly."
At this point, Jin Sanliang paused and then continued:
"Besides, there are so many brothers on duty here. As the deputy chief escort, I can set an example. How can I let them endure hardship and enjoy it by themselves?"
After Zhao Rang heard this, he sighed in his heart.
He kindly asked him to drink, but he still used himself as a ladder, stepping on it to win people's hearts by talking.
"Okay! Then brother, just continue to lead by example, I'll go back to the house and drink!"
Zhao Rang was too lazy to watch his performance anymore, waved his hand, and walked away minding his own business.
Jin San glanced at Zhao Rang's back as he entered the courtyard, then calmed down and waved to an escort beside him.
"Your orders, chief escort!"
The escort bent down and handed over his ear. It turned out that he was Jin Sanliang's confidant, and there was already a deep tacit understanding between the two.
"Don't do anything tonight."
Jin Sanliang said.
"Ah! Why? The little ones are all ready!"
Jin Sanliang said impatiently:
"What are you preparing for!"
The young escort did not hear the accusation in Jin Sanliang's tone. He thought it was the chief escort who was deliberately testing him, so he spoke eloquently:
"Didn't he go back to drink? Just when he drank too much and fell asleep, the young man led people to surround the house with hay and then poured kerosene on it."
"Drunk people sleep the worst. If they are burned by fire or choked by smoke, I'm sure even the gods will not survive!"
"As soon as daybreak comes, they will say that he was a drunkard and drank too much. When he was drunk, he accidentally knocked over the candle and burned himself to death. Even if the people from the Merchant Alliance inquired, they would be able to resist him."
The more this man talked, the more enthusiastic he became, and later on he became very happy, as if he had made a great contribution to the escort agency, and his promotion was just around the corner!
Jin Sanliang became more and more angry as he listened, and accidentally crushed the tea cup in his hand.
"Why did I find a fool like you to do anything for me!"
The young escort had no idea where he had made a mistake, and was stunned on the spot, unable to say a word.
"He just had two jars of the best Western Region Spring. I don't even have the ability to get this stuff. Are you still confused?"
The young escort was not a fool. When Jin Sanliang made such a point, he immediately changed his mind and said:
"Does this kid have a great background?"
Jin Sanliang nodded and asked:
"Didn't you ask you to send someone to keep an eye on him? Where did he go after he left the house? Why didn't anyone come to report him?"
The young escort's face was alternately blue and white, he was hesitant and unable to explain what was happening.
He felt that Zhao Rang was just an ordinary charlatan who mostly went out to drink and find women. As long as he did it cleanly tonight, there would be no such person in the world tomorrow, so why would there be any need to send people to follow him?
"Hurry up and get back all the people who are following you across the courtyard. Also, be sure to find out where he has been today and who he has met!"
Jin Sanliang gave the death order, and the young escort trembled with fear!
As a person who knows the inside story of the fletching factory, if this is not done well, I am afraid that I will lose not my job, but my life. I immediately slapped my chest and issued a military order, ensuring that the origin of these two top quality Western Spring will be revealed before dawn.
.
Zhao Rang, who was in the house, had no idea what was happening outside, but he clearly felt that the "eyes" that had been staring at him outside the house suddenly disappeared.
Zhao Rang had no intention of drinking the wine placed on the table.
But now it seems that not drinking is showing cowardice.
It just so happens that a jar has been opened just now, so let's drink it first as a token of respect, otherwise we will be sorry for such a good wine!
Holding the jar in one hand and the wine glass in the other, Zhao Rang drank one cup after another.
Until the jar was more than half lighter than before, he reluctantly put it back on the table and kept mumbling, "Good wine, really good wine! I drank so much and still don't get drunk!"
After sighing with emotion, he prepared to go to bed.
But as soon as he stood up, everything from his ankles to his waist became weak, forcing him to sit down again.
Xiyu Chun has always been famous for its sweet taste but endless staying power.
Zhao Rang was just obsessed with the taste, but he forgot this and drank too quickly and too hard.
Now that he was drunk, his whole body was as soft as noodles. Even the bed that was very close to him seemed to him like a chasm in the sky, which was difficult to cross.
After lying on the table for a long time, my body regained some strength and struggled to lie down on the bed.
In fact, as long as he uses his sword skills and mobilizes the energy in his body, he will definitely be intact as before in a moment, but he is reluctant to do this.
Lying on his side on the bed, Zhao Rang felt a little uncomfortable with the iron box in his pocket, so he took it out and put it next to his pillow.
Ye Sanniang made it clear that someone would pick it up at the first stop she left Yangguan.
I arrived a little late today, so the person may not have been able to take care of him yet. He will probably be able to hand over the business smoothly tomorrow.
