In Baishui City, in a small wine shop not far from the market, Ling Tianyun was tasting this fine wine. In the corner next to him, three Khitan people were talking loudly, speaking some Khitan language that Ling Tianyun could not understand. Ling Tianyun's book
The heart that wanted to calm down began to become anxious, and he felt that no matter how he looked at these three Khitan people, he didn't like it.
At this time, the three Khitan men seemed to have drank all the wine in the wine and were shouting for wine in not very fluent Chinese. The proprietress's daughter Duo heard this and hurriedly came over with a cup of wine. From Ling Tianyun's side.
As he passed by, he glanced at him shyly. He approached the table where the three Khitans were sitting, put the bottle of wine on the table, and was about to turn around and leave.
One of the Khitan men suddenly stood up and took Duo'er's delicate hand. The Khitan man was nearly eight feet tall and stood like a big mountain in front of Duo'er. Duo'er, who was already shy, immediately opened her eyes.
The Khitan man looked panicked and his eyes were filled with panic.
"Come on, little sister, how about having a drink with me?" The Khitan who held Duo'er's hand slurred out a sentence in Chinese that was not very fluent. Duo'er wanted to push the Khitan's hand away in fear.
, but couldn't move even half an inch. Duo'er could only say timidly: "I don't know how to drink. You can drink by yourself. If you have any other instructions, please just tell me." Duo'er tried to break away from the Khitan man's hand again,
But still to no avail.
At this time, the other two people also stood up and cheered something in Khitan. Obviously, the Khitan man had no intention of letting Duo'er go. He pulled Duo'er to the table and poured a bowl of wine.
He asked Duo'er to drink it. Duo'er's frightened eyes were filled with tears, and she looked even more shy and pitiful. The proprietress of the wine shop seemed to be still busy and did not notice the situation at all.
Ling Tianyun frowned and looked at all this coldly. An anger seemed to burst out in his heart. It was not that this phenomenon had never happened in this wine shop before, but it was only very rare. There were even fewer Khitan people, not to mention himself.
Drinking here, most people in Baishui City basically know themselves. Even if the Khitans in the north don't know themselves, they should have heard of themselves. Under normal circumstances, few Khitans will drink after trading on the day of opening of the market.
, let alone come to drink in this little-known little restaurant.
The Khitan man who held Duo'er's hand filled a bowl of wine, picked it up and put it to Duo'er's mouth. The other two Khitan men shouted loudly in Khitan. Duo'er turned her head and avoided that person.
The Khitan brought the wine, and his eyes happened to meet Ling Tianyun's eyes, and tears fell from his aggrieved and frightened eyes.
When Ling Tianyun saw this, his heart trembled inexplicably. He couldn't care so much anymore. He put down the bowl of wine and strode to Duo'er's side. Ling Tianyun pushed the Khitan man away and protected Duo'er behind him.
. shouted: "What do you want to do?"
When the Khitan man saw someone pulling the little girl away and pushing him, he immediately became furious. He looked at the man who pulled the girl away and saw a young man standing in front of him. He was seventeen or eighteen years old.
On the left and right, a man dressed in mysterious clothes, with a strong physique, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a resolute face that seems to have just shed its childishness.
The Khitan man's eyes were fixed on the young man who was nearly a head shorter than him, and the young man did not seem to be afraid. A pair of bright eyes were also staring at him. When the other two Khitan men saw someone ruining their fun, they
There was also a look of displeasure on their faces, and their eagle-like eyes looked at the young man who ruined their fun.
Duo'er looked at the strong back protecting her in front of her, and felt the strong and warm hand holding her hand. She felt a little bit of security in her heart, and her heartbeat began to accelerate. Duo'er's eyes melted.
The work was as bright as mist, and ripples appeared in my heart.
"Young man, stop minding your own business." The Khitan man standing in front of Ling Tianyun said in a deep voice.
"Mind your own business?" Ling Tianyun raised his head and looked at the Khitan man, and continued: "I advise everyone, it is best to stay out of trouble here, lest you be caught as a spy and be unable to return to your country.
"
"Hahahahaha" the Khitan man burst out laughing and said: "We and others kindly invited this little sister to drink with us. What happened? We Khitan people invited this little sister to drink with us. We think highly of her."
.It is this little sister’s honor. Are you a member of the government?”
Because the Northern Han Emperor Liu Yu called the current Khitan emperor his father, and borrowed tens of thousands of Khitan troops to help guard the entire Northern Han Dynasty, the Khitan people seemed to think that they were one level higher than the Northern Han people. The Khitan people could not do anything in the Northern Han Dynasty.
It can be said that arbitrariness is basically not restricted by the laws of the Northern Han Dynasty. The only exception is Baishui Pass. Under Ling Duozhi's strict control, the Khitan people have to live in peace here.
Ling Tianyun squinted his eyes and said coldly: "In my eyes, even people who are not in the government will take care of this matter, and you Khitan people have to abide by my laws here. You Khitan people are not superior to others.
Please remember, this is Baishui City, not any other place." Ling Tianyun didn't know if these three Khitans really didn't know their identities, and he didn't bother to reveal his identity.
"Hahahaha," the three Khitan people burst out laughing after hearing Ling Tianyun's words.
Ling Tianyun had a bad sense of desire. He felt that the three Khitans seemed to be deliberately stirring up trouble and were arrogant. Baishui City had done this before, but they were all suppressed by Ling Duo's iron blood. These three Khitans
What is the purpose, Ling Tianyun thought in his mind.
"Yes, but you and I must ask this little sister to drink with us today, so what do you think?" the Khitan man said in an imposing manner. It was obvious that the three Khitan men refused to give up.
"Don't go too far, you three. If you are a man, you will do something to embarrass a little girl. Finally, I would like to advise you. The city gate will be closed in less than half an hour. You should hurry up as soon as possible.
It's best to leave." Seeing that the three Khitans still refused to give up, Ling Tianyun had no choice but to take advantage of this to send them away.
"Today the three of you are going to stay in Baishui City for one night, so I won't bother this young man." The Khitan man replied, and then said: "Young man, there is a custom in our Khitan. I wonder if you have heard of it.
Have you ever accepted it? I have a proposal and I wonder if you dare to accept it."
Sure enough, Ling Tianyun's heart tightened. He could think of what the Khitan man was going to say next. Was it aimed at him this time, or was there a bigger conspiracy? Ling Tianyun did not show up and waited for the Khitan man's next words.
"We Khitan people have a custom that can resolve some disputes, including women's ownership rights. Since you want to intervene in this matter, we can have a duel. If I win, the three of us will leave immediately.
If you lose, young man, then this girl will accompany us to finish the drink. Young man, what do you think of this proposal?" The Khitan man looked at Ling Tianyun and said the proposal.
"Okay, but stop here. It's not very convenient here. How about we go outside." Ling Tianyun looked at the Khitan people and nodded.
"Okay, that's refreshing. You're a real man." Seeing that Ling Tianyun agreed, the Khitan man seemed very happy and muttered something to the other two Khitan men. The other two Khitan men picked it up and put it beside the table.
The Khitan man who was talking to Ling Tianyun was empty-handed. They quickly walked out of the wine shop before Ling Tianyun and stood on the street.
Ling Tianyun stretched out his hand to hold Duo'er, and calmly picked up his saber. He looked at Duo'er pityingly for a while, and comforted him: "Okay, it's okay. No one dares to bully you as long as I am here.
"
Duo'er lowered her head and did not dare to look at Ling Tianyun. A drunken blush quietly climbed onto her cheeks with a few small freckles. Her heart was beating like a deer, and she held her hand in her hand.
Yizhen clutched the edge of her clothes tightly, and when she raised her head, she realized that Ling Tianyun had left the wine shop at some point. Duo'er quickly followed Ling Tianyun's footsteps and also left the wine shop.
The boss didn't know when he appeared at the counter of the wine shop. She didn't seem to know what happened. She looked at the three Khitan people, Ling Tianyun, and her daughter who walked out of the wine shop in shock. They also hurried out of the wine shop.
In the elegant room on the third floor of Xizhao Restaurant, the young man in brocade stood up and looked out the window. The setting sun was like a huge red plate, embedded between two peaks. The white water river between the peaks was winding out like a jade belt. The peaks
The setting sun in the sky and the setting sun in the white water river are like two red pearls embedded in the two mountain peaks, corresponding to each other. What a beautiful picture. Is this the real origin of the name of Xizhao Restaurant?
By?
At this time, there were several knocks on the door outside the private room, and the young man in brocade said, "Come in," and a man dressed as a tough man walked in from the door of the private room. He was one of the two big men guarding the private room.
The big man walked up to Mr. Jin Yi and whispered a few words in his ear. Mr. Jin Yi said he understood and sent the man out.
Young Master Jin Yi was still looking out the window. At this time, the private room was very quiet. Seeing that Young Master Jin Yi didn't make a sound, the other four people also kept silent. But what they didn't know was that the sharp sparkle in Young Master Jin Yi's eyes seemed to be even more intense.
