Chapter 168: A chance encounter with the prince in the robe
With a "pop" sound, the silver bloom fell on the table, spinning a few times before stopping. It reflected a dazzling light under the dazzling sunlight, just like the sullen gaze of the young master in fur robes.
For a moment, there was silence all around. All the guests stared at the silver bloom on the table with their eyes wide open. Their eyes protruded like dead fish, and their eyes revealed a greedy light.
The waiter felt ecstatic in his heart. The other person offered him a piece of silver for a decent table. He was so lavish and obviously not someone seeking wealth. He swallowed the saliva in his mouth and smiled even more with a flattering face.
The feeling became stronger. He also secretly cursed at the two young boys. The other party offered them such a high price to get out of their way, but the other party remained unmoved at all and still sat leisurely.
"Two guests, you see, this young master hopes that you will move away. I wonder if you two can be aggrieved. A table will be available after a while, and it will not delay your dining time." The waiter received the message.
With the gaze cast by Mr. Qiupao, he couldn't help but step forward to persuade the two young men sitting there.
And those well-dressed men who had finished handling the horses also came back, and gathered around the young master in fur robes. There was a chilling chill in their eyebrows. They said nothing but clenched their hands tightly.
A weapon worn on the waist.
Li Xiaoyao and Ye Yinfeng looked at each other, and then turned their attention to the eight people surrounding them. They saw that the young master in Qiu Pao exuded an elegant and noble aura of a king, and there was a faint hint of faintness on his handsome face.
He has an impressive temperament, and everything he wears shows his nobility. A sheathed sword hangs around his waist, and a jade belt inlaid with silk satin around his waist has a jade buckle in the middle.
The man who was so full of elegant and noble kingly aura certainly had his superior conditions. He looked at the two motionless teenagers without saying a word. Although his delicate and appropriate face had a somewhat displeased look,
But he didn't force them away, and he exuded a touch of majesty in his early twenties.
The waiter was hunched over, waiting for the answers from the two young men. Since the young man in Qiu Pao had not made any objections, it was not easy for him to force him. After all, he had already done what he should do. As for whether the two young men could buy each other's face.
, he is not easy to control. Everyone who comes is a guest. It is best to let the guests resolve many things among themselves.
"Your Excellency, what do you mean?" Li Xiaoyao said in a deep voice with a cold face. He was already very angry today. After being treated like this in Xiaowangjiagou Village, his previous temper would have exploded long ago.
.But he still saw that the other party was an unusually wealthy person, and he was accompanied by seven warriors who were not weak in martial arts. He kept guessing about the other party's identity. He had never seen this young master in his country.
, but which country’s royal family could this young master Qiupao belong to?
"You two, my young master wants to buy this place. I wonder if you can give me a favor." A warrior standing next to the young master in fur robes spoke for his master. A pair of tigers shot a superb gaze without blinking.
He blinked at Li Xiaoyao and the other two.
But the young man in fur robes did not speak. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he could not help but exude a powerful majesty, spreading in all directions. A pair of eyes as bright as paint cast an irresistible awe.
The light went straight towards Ye Yin and Li Xiaoyao.
Feeling the young master's actions, Li Xiaoyao frowned even more tightly. He had a slight fondness for the young master, but at this moment all the good feelings collapsed and disappeared. The other party was obviously threatening at this moment.
It means that this place is so big and there are so many people, but the other party wants to make it difficult for me.
"If we don't let it, so what." Li Xiaoyao said impatiently, not afraid of the other party's threat. He did not exude his own aura, but just gave others the feeling of an ordinary person.
"You,??????." The armored warrior was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party would openly refuse. Suddenly, a burst of anger burst out, and he pulled out the weapon he was holding. As soon as he made a move
, but was interrupted by a glance from the young master Qiupao.
"Since it's inconvenient for you two, we can't force you. How about this? How about I sit at the same table with you two? This way we won't lose face and we can get to know each other. I don't know what you think. As for this
I’ll treat you to a meal.” The Qiupao Master spoke, his voice was clear and graceful, with a flurry of cadences, but it carried a touch of warmth, like jade, like a spring breeze, and his few words made people’s hearts skip a beat.
warm.
But Li Xiaoyao was obviously startled. He didn't expect that although the other party gave up and let them leave, they used a roundabout move. If they wanted to refuse again, it would be really unkind.
"Okay, if you don't mind, please sit down here. Waiter, bring some more bowls and chopsticks." Li Xiaoyao ordered the bent waiter. When the waiter heard this, he immediately became happy.
Of course, the ending was the best. He didn't want to offend anyone on either side, and he was happy to achieve this good ending. After hearing the order, he hurriedly ran away to prepare the food and drinks.
Seeing that there was no conflict between the two sides, everyone felt bored. They expected to have a good show, but it was resolved hastily. Disappointed, everyone also felt sorry for the two teenagers. Such a good opportunity could
He made several taels of silver in vain, but let the other party waste it. Everyone started to become noisy again, chatting openly while eating food and drinking.
Ye Yinfeng did not pay too much attention to the young master in fur robes, but focused his attention on the well-dressed warriors next to him. They were dressed in bright and shiny silk and satin clothes, and they carried a fierce aura.
With their aura, brows full of awe-inspiring evil spirit, and their demeanor as strong as the wind, these seven well-dressed warriors gave him a very dangerous feeling. They also carried a faint aura of bloodshed, although it was not strong, but
Ye Yinfeng could clearly feel it.
The seven people formed a formation, orderly in a circle, and strictly protected the young master in fur robes in the center. Moreover, the seven people were uniformly dressed and even carried a unified atmosphere. The seven people were upright and unsmiling.
, with a solemn expression. These seven people should have a martial arts background, otherwise it would be impossible to have such unified behaviors and movements. They belong to a strong martial arts division. You can tell by looking at the opponent's fierce aura and rigorous look.
See something.
Ye Yinfeng had already made accurate guesses about the identities of these seven people. He had always thought that this Qiu Pao Master was a relative of a certain royal family in the Tang Dynasty. But looking at Li Xiaoyao's demeanor, it was obvious that he did not recognize this Qiu Pao Master.
.So he guessed that this young master should be a relative of the royal family of another country, but which country he was from, maybe the fat man should have known for a long time.
The Qiupao master did not hesitate to hold his fists and said to them: "Qian Yi, I wonder what you call me?" After saying that, he moved his clothes around his waist and sat down, looking at Li Xiaoyao and Li Xiaoyao with a warm smile in his eyes.
people.
"Ye Feng, I have met Mr. Qian." Ye Yinfeng did not tell his real name, after all, he was not familiar with him yet.
"Li Xiaoyao, Taoist name is Xiaoyaozi. I wonder where Mr. Qian came from and where he is going?" Li Xiaoyao mentioned his name in one word. He who is not afraid of heaven and earth will definitely not be afraid of saying his name.
’s real name. After introducing himself, he pretended to be an understatement and wanted to ask the other party’s details.
"I came from Quzhou. Because the old man at home is suffering from a serious illness, I went to Sanqing Mountain to seek some miraculous medicine from the immortals in the mountain. I passed by here and I have offended many people just now. I hope you don't mind me." Mr. Qiupao Qian Yiqing
With a smile, he told where he came from and why he was here. Hearing that the other party actually had a nickname, he couldn't help but be in awe and immediately apologized to the fat man.
"Hahaha, we are all brothers in the world, why do you care? It's just that we bumped into each other. Mr. Qian has traveled a long way from Quzhou, which shows his sincere filial piety." How could Li Xiaoyao believe it?
He could only argue with the other party's words. How could the other party's behavior and temperament be like that of a filial son traveling for his family and elderly people? But he really believed the other party when he said he was going to Sanqing Mountain. This official
The road passes through Sanqing Mountain and then leads to Raozhou.
"Fellow Taoist Xiaoyaozi has given me a great reward. How can I be so virtuous and capable? I am also extremely anxious. I don't know if the Immortal of Sanqing Mountain is willing to give me the medicine. I don't know which famous mountain the Immortal Temple is from."
There was a hint of anxiety in Qian Yi's words, but he glanced at Ye Yinfeng, who was sitting silently aside, with an imperceptible gaze.
"People from the mountains and wilds are at home all over the world, and the paths are just wandering in the rivers and lakes. They have no family or sect, which makes Mr. Qian laugh." Li Xiaoyao said it, not because he didn't want to say where he came from, but because he really didn't.
What can be said.
"No, no, fellow Daoist Xiaoyaozi is joking." Qian Yi smiled faintly, not believing the other party's lies, but he himself did not tell the truth, so he had no choice but not to dwell on this topic any longer.
He turned his eyes and landed on Ye Yinfeng, and then said: "This little brother is carrying a sword. He must be a martial artist. I wonder what sect this little brother comes from?"
"Master Qian is joking. In these troubled times, I only carry a sword as a pretense of self-defense. As for this martial artist, I don't have the qualifications yet." Ye Yinfeng replied lightly, avoiding the situation lightly.
He revealed his identity, but at the same time he did not admit that he was a martial artist.
Seeing that Qian Yi couldn't ask anything, he had no choice but to give up. After all, there was something wrong with him from the beginning. It was understandable that the two of them were wary. For a while, the three of them had nothing to talk about, and they suddenly fell into a subtle awkward situation.
Fortunately, the waiter brought the wine and food and broke the embarrassing situation.
At this time, customers had already checked out and left, and extra tables had been vacated. The seven warriors behind Qian Yi divided out and found three of them to find another table and sit down. The remaining ones sat down.
Four warriors guarded him and never left. This shows that these warriors are indeed well-trained and disciplined masters.
After the food and wine were served, Qian Yi invited Li Xiaoyao and the two to start eating. Compared with Qian Yi, who looked elegant and quiet when eating, Li Xiaoyao and Ye Yinfeng ate much more rudely. After putting down a few dishes, they ate for a while.
He wolfed down the food, not caring that there was an elegant young man sitting on the other side.
Li Xiaoyao and Ye Yinfeng were like a whirlwind. The food on the table had already reached its bottom, but Mr. Qian didn't have time to take a few bites. This caused the warriors behind him to glare.
Looking at Li Xiaoyao and Li Xiaoyao, my master has kindly invited you to have dinner and drinks, but you two are not polite at all. You look like you have been released from prison.
Two warriors couldn't stand it anymore. They were about to yell at each other for their rude and indecent behavior, but were stopped by Qian Yi's eyes. Such a subtle movement was still ignored by Ye Yinfeng and
Li Xiaoyao caught it, and they did not restrain themselves because of this, but instead became more motivated and ate faster.
The displeasure on Mr. Qian Yi's face only lasted for a while, and then disappeared. He just frowned slightly, and then stopped caring about the other party.
"Where is this beggar coming from? Go away quickly." A stern voice shouted, disturbing everyone's interest. Everyone looked up to find the source of the sound. Only then did they realize that someone came from this official road at some time.
Two beggars were walking towards the wine shop. Seeing that business was so good, the waiter didn't want the two beggars to disturb the customers, so he made a sound to drive away the two beggars.
Li Xiaoyao and Ye Yinfeng also stopped their rude eating movements. They looked up and saw two beggars with disheveled hair and dirty bodies holding a thick bamboo pole and shrinking back. His front face was messed up.
Their faces were obscured by their hair, and it was impossible to see their faces clearly. Only the hands holding the bamboo poles were as skinny as chicken feet, without any luster.
"It's strange, there have never been beggars here before, but today, when business is so good, two bad guys came here." The waiter muttered, and then stepped forward to chase away the two beggars.
The waiter's words reached Ye Yinfeng's ears clearly. At this time, Li Xiaoyao also frowned. A bad feeling suddenly arose in their hearts, but they did not feel any danger. The two of them did not feel any danger.
At the same time, another thought flashed through their minds, and they looked at the Qiupao Master Qian Yi opposite them with strange eyes. They were very sure that someone was probably coming for this Master Qian at this time.
Of course, no one would miss it if there was a lot of excitement. Their eyes were full of joking, wanting to see how the waiter could drive these two beggars away. When the warriors sitting at the other table saw this, their faces changed.
Although they showed a solemn expression, it only faded away briefly. Their mission was to finish the meal quickly.
No one paid any attention to the two beggars who suddenly appeared, and they never considered how there could be beggars in such a remote place.
Ye Yinfeng and Li Xiaoyao turned their attention away from the two beggars and scanned the people sitting there. Soon they found a group of people sitting two or three tables away from them. Those people were all pawns of traffickers.
Although they were well dressed, their eyes did not focus on the two beggars at all. Instead, they glanced at Qian Yi, the Qiupao Master, and his seven guards from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally. Although they concealed themselves very well,
But all this fell into the eyes of the two of them, but the Qiupao Master and his guards were completely unaware.
Sure enough, someone wanted to attack Mr. Qian Yi. Those two beggars might just be trying to attract everyone's attention, but they could just take the opportunity to attack. Ye Yinfeng and Li Xiaoyao came to the conclusion at the same time in their minds.
I am also considering whether to intervene in this matter.
