Chapter 1256 Not only know, but also very familiar
Chapter 1256: Not only do we know each other, we are very familiar with each other
In the courtyard of Zhao Mansion.
Although it was already noon, Zhao Cong had no intention of eating at all, because he had only gotten up an hour ago and had just finished breakfast half an hour ago. There was still oil and water in his stomach, so how could he be hungry?
Zhao Cong recently became obsessed with archery, so he asked people to prepare bows, arrows, targets and other supporting equipment in the yard. The first thing he did after getting up every day was to practice archery, and he also swore to become a master who could pierce the enemy with a hundred steps.
And the teacher who instructs Zhao Cong in archery is none other than Zhao Jiang!
Since Zhao Jiang helped Tongbao Bank destroy several counterfeit banknote manufacturing dens, he has gained even more respect from Zhao Cong, and is now an indispensable and capable person around Zhao Cong.
In the yard, Zhao Cong opened his bow and nocked an arrow. After aiming for a while, he released an arrow and shot out.
The arrow flew through the wind and hit the target accurately, but it was still a little bit short of the red heart in the middle.
"Damn it! This arrow actually missed..." Zhao Cong suddenly frowned and muttered to himself in disappointment.
After saying that, Zhao Cong turned around and asked Zhao Jiang behind him: "Zhao Jiang, what did I do wrong with the arrow just now?"
Zhao Jiang stood behind him. When he heard the question, he replied: "Master, there is nothing wrong with your arrow. The problem lies in the strength of your arm. Master, if you want to improve your archery skills, as the old saying goes, you need to practice more strength."
, so that it will be easier and more stable when shooting the bow."
"I know, I know, you've said it so many times." Zhao Cong became a little impatient when he heard this.
Because what Zhao Cong dislikes most is practicing strength, he feels that lifting stone locks repeatedly every day is too tiring and boring, and it is not as interesting as archery.
Zhao Jiang naturally understood that Zhao Cong didn't like to practice strength, but he still patiently advised: "Master, I know that practicing strength is boring, but didn't you say that you want to practice the unique skill of piercing a Yang with a hundred steps? If your strength improves, you will not be able to pierce a Yang with a hundred steps.
Not far away......"
Zhao Cong was unmoved and said: "Okay, okay, don't say these things. In short, the stone lock thing is not suitable for me. I just love archery. I don't believe it. If I keep practicing, I can't shoot through a poplar with a hundred steps!"
After saying that, Zhao Cong took out another arrow, nocked the bow and shot it towards the target.
Just as the arrow hit the target, the servant's voice was heard from behind.
"Sir, Mr. Mi is out here asking for an audience."
When Zhao Cong heard this, he immediately asked in confusion: "Mi Yong? What is he here for?"
The servant replied: "Back to my lord, shopkeeper Mi said that someone in Wangyue Tower deliberately caused trouble. Not only did they eat for free, but they also injured a large number of workers. Not only did they not leave, but they also said that they would meet you in person."
"What?" Zhao Cong was stunned.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Cong asked: "Who is making trouble? What is his name?"
"I don't know, I don't know." The servant shook his head.
Zhao Cong said: "Go and call Mi Yong in!"
The servant nodded quickly and hurried to call someone.
Zhao Cong put the bow and arrow on the table next to him, then put his hands on his hips and said a little angry and a little funny: "Zhao Jiang, do you think it is strange or not, someone dares to come to my Wangyue Tower to cause trouble, and even said that he wants to meet in person.
I, am I just telling the mouse and the cat to sleep together - my life is too long! Hahaha..."
Zhao Jiang smiled and nodded: "What I said is that people like this are here to die!"
While we were joking, shopkeeper Mi Yongmi from Wangyue Tower came over.
At this time, Mi Yong's face was filled with anxiety and anger, as well as some grievances. When he approached, he bowed to Zhao Cong.
"Master, Mi Yong is incompetent, please punish me!" Mi Yong admitted his mistake loudly.
Zhao Cong knew Mi Yong very well, and immediately said angrily: "Okay, okay, stop doing this with me, let's talk business, who is making trouble in Wangyue Tower?"
Mi Yong is also very sensible and immediately said: "Sir, we don't know this guy. He is dressed like a scholar and has a handsome appearance, but his attacks are extremely cruel. He punches one person and kicks another person. Brothers are always
Those who were hit by him couldn't stand up immediately."
"Can a scholar be so good at fighting?" Zhao Cong was very surprised.
Zhao Jiang immediately frowned and became somewhat interested in the person Mi Yong described.
"Yes, Master, he is really good at hitting. All the brothers were injured by him." Mi Yong nodded repeatedly.
"How many people are here?" Zhao Jiang suddenly asked.
Mi Yong replied: "One, just him!"
Zhao Jiang was very surprised: "What, just one?"
Zhao Cong was surprised and angry: "There are so many of you, but you can't beat a scholar? What do you do for food?"
Mi Yong didn't dare to talk back, so he lowered his head and said aggrievedly: "Master, that guy is really powerful, we...we are really no match..."
"Is that person still in Wangyue Tower?" Zhao Cong asked angrily.
Mi Yong nodded quickly.
Zhao Cong thought for a while and asked again: "Didn't you tell him that I opened Wangyue Tower?"
"I told you, sir. Not only did my brothers and I tell you, but even the guests at the dinner also said it, but he didn't believe it. He also said that he would not believe that it was you unless he really saw you, sir.
Restaurant!" Mi Yong shouted anxiously.
Zhao Cong became angry when he heard this, and immediately shouted: "Zhao Jiang, take a few capable fighters and go to Wangyue Tower to deal with that kid!"
Mi Yong was immediately overjoyed, thinking to himself, brat, you look good now!
Zhao Jiang confidently said: "Master, it's enough for me to go. Asking others will take too much time, so don't let him run away again."
"You're right, let's go!" Zhao Cong was already walking when he spoke.
Zhao Jiang followed and advised: "Master, you don't have to go there in person for this trivial matter. I will go over and tie the person up to see you immediately!"
Zhao Cong said: "It's okay, I just happened to be walking around. I haven't gone out for so many days anyway."
Soon, Zhao Cong, Zhao Jiang and Mi Yong left home, got on the carriage and rushed to Wangyue Tower.
----------------------------------
In the lobby of Wangyue Building.
While waiting for Zhao Cong to come over, Chai Yan finished two bowls of soybean noodles and was already drinking hot tea to relieve his tiredness.
When he was bored, Chai Yan called a waiter and asked: "I heard someone say before that your business in Wangyue Tower is very good, but why is it completely different from what I see now?"
The waiter put his hands in front of him, stood obediently with his head lowered, and replied timidly: "Sir...Sir, when Wangyue Tower first opened, business was really good. Chao Zhong
All the dignitaries and ministers from top to bottom would come to support me, but...but as time went on, less and less people came, and slowly...it became...
Now it’s like this…”
Chai Yan understood the reason in an instant. Nowadays, when Uncle Guo opens a restaurant, everyone in the capital is rushing to support him and fawn over him. So the business at the beginning was naturally very good, and there is nothing wrong with it!
But there is a limit to the support. No one’s money comes from the strong wind, so they can’t eat with your family endlessly, right?
As time went by, everyone stopped coming, and the business at Wangyue Tower naturally became worse day by day, becoming more and more deserted.
Chai Yan took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "If you, Uncle Zhao Guo, open a restaurant like this, my name will be written backwards if you don't close it!"
The waiter couldn't help but was stunned and asked: "Sir, you...didn't you say that you don't believe that this was driven by Uncle Guo?"
"Haha, that's a lie!" Chai Yan sneered and said, "Before I came here, I knew it was driven by Uncle Zhao Guo. I wanted to stop by to cheer you up, but who knew it would be like this?"
The waiter was startled and said in a trembling voice: "You...do you know Uncle Guo?"
Chai Yan grinned and said playfully: "Not only do we know each other, we are also very familiar..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a carriage stopping was heard outside.
Chai Yan said: "Why don't you go and greet me? Your uncle is here."
But the guys didn't dare to move after hearing it. Who knows if what Chai Yan said is serious?
At the door, Zhao Cong, Zhao Jiang and Mi Yong got out of the car one after another, and the group of people frowned and walked towards Wangyue Tower.
As soon as Zhao Cong entered the door, he said loudly: "Which guy without eyes dares to come to my place to cause trouble?"
Chai Yan was sitting with his back to the door. He turned his head when he heard the voice, smiled and said hello: "Brother, long time no see..."
"Brother Xian?" Zhao Cong was stunned for a moment.
