Ding Xiaoyi has already asked Bei Lan and others to disperse to inquire about Yu Niang.
Since Chu Ke said that Yu Niang's battleship was damaged, it is obviously unrealistic to go to Kunlun Mountain alone with only the damaged battleship.
I believe that Yu Niang will not risk her own battleship.
So we must find a place to repair the battleship.
Although Beilan didn't know much about the Qinglong, the six pirates below were all subordinates of Yu Niang. If he gave the clues, they would naturally try their best to investigate.
At this moment, Ding Xiaoyi was holding a collection of ancient poems in his arms and began to read them all night long.
In any case, my current situation is not optimistic at all. No matter what problems I face at tomorrow's banquet, it is more practical to have some ink in my stomach.
Song Xingxue sat at the window, looking at the dense stars in the night sky, holding a wine jar in one hand and shaking the paper fan in his hand.
I'm still thinking about tonight's meal in my mind. Although it's just a simple vegetarian dish, the taste is really... lingering over it.
"By the way, what advice did Wang Gouzi give you that makes you confused until now??"
He was really curious about what suggestions Wang Gouzi made. Otherwise, he would have been lying in bed and asleep, so why would he accompany Ding Xiaoyi to study here all night long.
"If I say that he means that he wants me to kill him openly, what do you think?"
Ding Xiaoyi put down the book in his hand and asked.
"Ugh..." Song Xingxue couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this: "Could it be that he will help you break out of the siege!"
If Wang Gouzi takes action, unless the giants from various houses come in person, no one present will be his opponent.
However, judging from Ding Xiaoyi's frown, it was obvious that things were not as simple as Song Xingxue thought.
Looking at his silent eyes, the expression on Song Xingxue's face gradually solidified, and he asked tentatively: "You mean, he won't take action?"
"More or less, he only promised me to take action once, and he could help me deal with the most difficult group of pursuers when necessary. As for the others, I have to do it myself."
"That's a lot of fun!"
Song Xingxue immediately screamed: "Luo Wanwei from the Military School, Sima Qing from the Legalist School, I heard that Zhang Fan and Canwu Taoist Masters are also here today. This is not counting what we don't know. These alone are enough for us."
It’s time to drink a pot.”
After saying that, he counted on his fingers.
They had both Taoist and Chu Ke on their side, and even though they had a lot of people together with him, Chu Ke would not necessarily be able to help unless Taoist and Chu were willing to help.
As he said, this guy makes a lot of friends, but when it comes to selling his friends, he sells them faster than anyone else.
Furthermore, Ding Xiaoyi's injuries have not fully recovered yet.
They don't have an advantage in terms of numbers, but they are even worse in terms of strength.
Just because Master Canwu holds the golden scroll in his hand, the two of them may not be opponents.
If the big-footed dog is only willing to take action once, just because they want to kill him, obviously the chance of winning is not good.
"I guess the reason why Wang Gouzi is like this is because he may have certain restrictions that do not allow him to take action frequently."
This is Ding Xiaoyi's speculation. Otherwise, given Wang Gouzi's strength, why would he arrange for Sardar and others to wait for him outside.
"Well, that's also possible."
Song Xingxue had a casual look on his face, as if he didn't take this explanation into his heart. With a sad expression on his face, he seemed to be able to foresee the miserable scene in which Ding Xiaoyi, an illiterate man, would be stripped naked by the big guys at the banquet tomorrow.
While the two were talking, a carriage stopped outside the inn.
Song Xingxue sat at the window and could see clearly from a high position.
It was Qian Gui's carriage, and I saw big boxes one after another, being carried from the back of the carriage and placed on the cart.
Judging from the heavy weight of the box, it is obvious that I gained a lot from this trip.
As if aware of Song Xingxue's gaze, Qian Gui looked up and the two of them looked at each other.
Not sure if he felt guilty, Qian Gui smiled unnaturally a few times, nodded, and immediately lowered his head and pushed the wheelbarrow toward the backyard.
Song Xingxue curled his lips when he saw this, and four big characters appeared on the fan in his hand: "To be rich is not benevolent".
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he glanced at Ding Xiaoyi who was still reciting the poem and said: "Then you can continue to recite the poem by yourself, I won't accompany you anymore, go to sleep!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the room.
As soon as he walked out of the room, Song Xingxue's eyes wandered around in a circle, his figure immediately hid in the shadows, and he calmly groped towards the backyard.
This inn is very large, because it is not in the Central Plains, and there are not so many rules. As long as you have money, you can build the house as big as you want.
There are even rumors that as long as you have enough money here, you can even buy the palace of Da Yuezhi.
Song Xingxue was confused and confused, but he couldn't find where Qian Gui's room was.
Fortunately, at this time, Song Xingxue suddenly raised his nose, and a smell of fish-flavored shredded pork wafted in, which made him feel refreshed.
"Okay, you bastard, give us a vegetarian meal at night, and when Qian Gui comes back, serve him fish-flavored shredded pork! Hmph, you're a snobbery!"
Song Xingxue felt a sense of contempt and wanted to follow the scent.
But when my shoulder hurt, I suddenly thought of the kitchen knife thrown by Wang Gouzi, and I couldn't help but twitch the corner of my mouth, feeling that the wounds on my shoulder were aching.
Thinking of this, he trembled in his heart, hurriedly stopped and took out a yellow talisman from the fan.
Then he made a hand and recited a mantra, and the yellow talisman turned into a black smoke and entered his body. Suddenly, the aura of Song Xingxue completely disappeared from this world, leaving no trace anymore.
Although my master is very poor, poverty also has its advantages.
I really don’t have much treasure for myself, so I just draw some more charms to save my life.
Protected by the talisman drawn by his master, Emperor Zongji, Song Xingxue was immediately full of confidence: "I was careless last time. If you can still find me this time, you are awesome!"
Immediately, he followed the aroma of the food and pursued it.
After not walking far, we came to a small private courtyard.
Looking at the wheelbarrow parked at the entrance of the yard, Song Xingxue felt happy: "Hey, this is it."
"Qian Gui, Qian Gui, I'm going to try the thieves' tricks on you!" He laughed in his heart, planning to try the [Flying Star Reaching Hook] combined with the thieving technique to see if it was really what Jie Zhi said.
magic.
Immediately, Song Xingxue jumped onto the roof in a flash, his body was like a cat, and without making any sound, he quietly groped towards Qian Gui's door.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I smelled the aroma of food in the room, and I couldn't help but swallow in dismay.
I raised my head and glanced at the sky. It was almost dawn, and I thought to myself: "I wonder what breakfast Wang Gouzi will prepare this morning."
"Well...even though it's breakfast, it'd better not be so light!"
Thinking of Song Xingxue, he quietly put his head to the crack of the door and glanced inside from the corner of his eye.
"Huh??"
The room was empty, but there was no one.
“Not here??”
He suddenly felt strange and wondered if he had gone to the latrine, so he simply hid aside and waited for a while.
However, I waited and waited, but Qian Gui was nowhere to be seen.
Gradually, Song Xingxue became impatient, so he ducked down and jumped into the room through the side window.
Immediately he looked around the room.
The furnishings of the room are quite simple, and you can almost see everything clearly at a glance.
There were meals and a jug of wine on the table, and several large wooden boxes beside the bed.
Only Qian Gui was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing this, Song Xingxue walked to the table with a suspicious look on his face and touched the dish with his finger. The food was still hot.
Looking at the delicious food on the table, Song Xingxue couldn't help but swallow.
I wanted to just pack up the food and take it away, but after thinking about it, I decided against it. I was just stealing, and stealing a bunch of food was nothing.
Open the large wooden box on the side. Inside are various documents and a large golden ingot.
I was not polite about these and took them away with the box.
After stealing the box, Song Xingxue saw that Qian Gui still hadn't come back, so he simply didn't wait. After he walked out again, he looked at the sky and saw that it was almost dawn.
I thought to myself that I had not stolen anything but wasted a Master's charm, which was really a loss.
But thinking of this, he thought, since the effect of the spell is still there, why not go to Wang Gouzi's kitchen to see what delicious food there is.
If there is...
Thinking of the knife on his shoulder, Song Xingxue suddenly smiled evilly on his face, planning to take this opportunity to tease Wang Gouzi and avenge his own blood revenge.
He immediately took steps towards the kitchen.
Before I even reached the kitchen, I heard the brisk sound of chopping meat in the distance.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The sound of chopping meat is crisp and powerful. Just listening to the sound makes people feel clean and neat.
When he walked to the kitchen, he saw Wang Gouzi already starting to make breakfast.
Steam is rising from the steamer, exuding an alluring aroma.
Fortunately, the location of the kitchen is remote. If it were located closer to the front, the neighbors facing the street would be starved to death at night.
I saw Wang Gouzi doing a series of actions such as picking vegetables, washing vegetables, washing rice, etc. It looked extremely simple, no different from ordinary people.
But I don’t know why, Song Xingxue is always in a trance while watching, as if every action is full of attractive viewing, and it makes people feel very comfortable to watch.
At this time, Song Xingxue's eyes suddenly flashed and he saw a stack of hot dishes that had just been prepared on the table beside him.
The color of this dish is like gold, but if you look closely, you can easily find that the golden appearance also has a little bit of emerald color, like gold inlaid with jade.
The color is beautiful and elegant, just like two golden fruits placed on the plate.
If there's one flaw, it's that there are only two of them in a dish.
Seeing this, Song Xingxue was of course not polite. He quietly walked forward and after making sure that Wang Gouzi didn't notice him, he suddenly became much bolder.
He grabbed the golden fruit in the plate with his fingers, used the stealing technique, and stuffed it into his mouth without even thinking about it.
"Crack, click, click..." Gently bite it between your teeth, and under the crispy burnt skin, a strong soup squeezes out from the inside.
The gravy explodes in the mouth, and the texture of the meat is like tearing, making people unable to help chewing over and over again.
It hit his entire mouth in an instant, like a wild horse galloping on his tongue.
"hiss!!"
Song Xingxue felt that his whole body was intoxicated by the delicious food and could not extricate himself. He felt so happy.
This was definitely the most delicious dish he had ever eaten.
Just when his face was filled with intoxication, Wang Gouzi's voice suddenly came to his ears.
"The jade-gold fruit is rubbed with slender hands and fried in green oil until it becomes a tender yellow color.
The color is like jade-like cat head bamboo shoots, and the taste is as good as the hump of an oxtail orangutan.”
"I accidentally learned this golden fruit recipe from a woman. It's just that the ingredients are not good and mutton is used, so the taste still has a slight odor."
Song Xingxue, who was looking intoxicated, shook his head involuntarily when he heard this and said: "The smell of mutton? No?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Xingxue's pupils tightened and he looked at Wang Gouzi with a horrified expression: "You can see me!!"
However, Wang Gouzi looked indifferent: "I didn't notice it, but the noise you made when eating was a bit loud."
Hearing this, Song Xingxue twitched the corner of his mouth and couldn't help cursing himself for being stupid, no! It should be that this dish is too delicious.
It was so delicious that I unknowingly showed my weakness.
At this time Wang Gouzi pushed the food plate forward.
"This dish is a bit of a failure. The mutton is old, so I didn't plan to serve it. Since you think it's okay, you might as well eat it all."
When Song Xingxue saw that Wang Gouzi discovered him, instead of being angry, he allowed himself to continue eating. So why should he be polite?
He immediately grinned and walked up embarrassedly: "Hey, I was originally looking for Qian Gui, but I couldn't find him, so I came to the kitchen to have a look. I couldn't help it, I couldn't help it, hehe..."
Ding Xiaoyi squinted his eyes and smiled without speaking, as if he was deliberately not revealing his little thoughts.
Song Xingxue immediately stuffed the other golden fruit into his mouth, his face filled with satisfaction.
While eating, he asked vaguely: "By the way, have you seen Qian Gui? He is the boss here!"
Ding Xiaoyi nodded: "I just went to deliver food to him." After saying that, he couldn't help frowning: "What? Isn't he here?"
"Eh... maybe he went to the latrine."
Song Xingxue didn't pay attention, and couldn't help but said: "By the way, this is the part of the sheep? The taste is quite delicious!"
"Hahahaha!" Wang Gouzi patted Song Xingxue on the shoulder and whispered in his ear: "Of course it's Yangbao."
When he heard the material, it turned out to be Yang Bao. Song Xingxue was immediately startled, but after recalling the taste in his mouth, although he felt disgusted, he still acquiesced in this delicacy.
"Bang bang..."
At this moment, there was a sudden tremor under the stove table.
Song Xingxue couldn't help but look down, but before he could see clearly, he saw Wang Gouzi had already brought the steamed buns to him, and his eyes couldn't help but be replaced by the delicious Xiao Long Bao.
"You must not be full after one of the appetizers. Eat this while it's hot."
Seeing how enthusiastic Wang Gouzi was, Song Xingxue felt embarrassed. He picked up the steamer and said with a smile, "Then I'm not polite. I won't disturb you while you cook. I'll leave first!"
After saying that, he held the steamer and walked out.
"Boom!" Just after taking two steps, I heard the collision again, and I couldn't help but turn around suspiciously.
But he saw Wang Gouzi holding a kitchen knife and said with a smile: "The old sheep that was just delivered is not dead yet."
"oh!!"
Hearing this, Song Xingxue didn't think much, turned around and walked out.
Watching Song Xingxue walking further and further away, an eye on the table fender stared straight at his back, the bloodshot eyes flashing anxiously.
But as Song Xingxue disappeared, this eye could not help but reveal deep despair...
