Ling is very worried about Xu Wen's situation now. Since Xu Wen told her about her, she has become like this. In addition, in the battle last night, she was so exhausted that she couldn't help but feel a little out of her mind and slow to react.
The sky gradually became brighter, the rising sun jumped up from the horizon, and the autumn sun shone on the earth again.
Li Yi stopped asking questions and led the team back.
Everyone slowly moved eastward against the rising sun.
"Sir, what should we do next?" Pang Hu had been silent immediately before, but now he suddenly asked.
Li Yi shrugged and shook his head: "We'd better go back to Liben Town first before making plans." As he said that, he shook the reins and speeded up the pace.
Pang Hu nodded, shouted twice, and followed.
The Xiaomuqiao Restaurant in Lipeng Town is the largest hotel in the town. Compared with other restaurants with gorgeous decorations, the wine, food and accommodation environment are gorgeous, the consumption in the Xiaomuqiao is economical and popular among the people in the town. For businessmen who are traveling around the world, this is also the last place to rest in the new city.
Because of its high-quality and low-priced quality, Xiaomuqiao Restaurant has gradually grown over the years and has become the largest restaurant in Liben Town, the must-pass place leading to the new city in the west of New Qin, no doubt about it.
Therefore, this restaurant is still very famous in the western part of Xinqin.
The entire restaurant is divided into three floors. The bottom floor is the kitchen and hall, and there is also a backyard for guests to stay. The hall is neatly arranged in the eight immortal tables, specially prepared for the people of the town; the second floor is private rooms, and wealthy businessmen also like to sit in these private rooms before going to the new city; the third floor is a hall with the entire floor opened. Unlike the first floor, this hall is specially prepared for those who need to hold banquets.
Nowadays, it is not yet time for lunch, so there are only a few waiters in the store who are busy preparing for the noon business.
On the avenue in front of the restaurant, there were several riders, all of whom were expressionless and weapons were hung around their waists. They tied the horse to the manger on one side in front of the restaurant, then entered the restaurant and went straight to the private room on the second floor.
The waiters wanted to step forward, but were scared away by a bearded man in the leader with sharp eyes. He said to the waiter in a hoarse voice: "Let's go to the second floor Epiphyllum, and the people inside made an appointment with us."
The waiter nodded in a hurry and never dared to ask any more questions. He wiped the cold sweat from his head and continued to do his job.
The bearded man, familiar with the road, led the people behind him to a door with the words "Epiphyllum" hanging on it. He didn't knock on the door, but pushed the door directly into the room and closed the door again. The people behind him stood with his hands behind his back while closing the door. It was obviously the bearded bodyguard.
A man and a woman were sitting at a round table in the room, drinking tea slowly. Seeing the bearded man entering the room, the woman immediately laughed: "Oh, isn't this the famous Commander Liu Chang and Liu? Why did someone make this look like this?"
The bearded blinked embarrassedly: "How do you know... nothing is wrong with me!" His voice was no longer hoarse, but became pleasant and pleasant. Obviously, he used falsetto when he was talking to the waiter just now.
The man sneered: "What's wrong? There's something wrong all over your body - your eyes, your heartbeat, and the movement of you pressing your hands on your abdomen from time to time..."
"You were beaten and seriously injured!" The man put down his cup and raised his head, "I'm very curious, who did you hit on the way you came to make you, the senior peak contractor, look like this?"
"Don't mention it, it's a big trouble!" The bearded blinked embarrassedly again, obviously not wanting to mention this matter again. "The people from Xinqin have made moves, and I was attacked on the way here!"
"Oh? How many people?" The woman's eyes were full of curiosity.
"Thirty, ah, no, it should be fifty! Well, no, right, it's almost three hundred people..." The bearded man looked at a little helpless and stammered, "Anyway, there are many people, Xin Qin should be on guard against us!"
"Hmph! Tell me honestly, how many people are there!" The man stood up impatiently and touched the two scimitars on the table with both hands.
"I said! I said! Thirty people!" The bearded screamed in dissatisfaction, and his sad eyes kept aiming at the woman beside him, "Sister! Can't you take care of him? I know I can't beat him, so I bully me! I'm injured!"
The woman laughed, and the whole room seemed to be a little brighter in an instant: "Then you report the situation well. I know that you are trying to save face, but if we believe in the false information you have created because of your face, and thus miss the big thing, how can you let me be a sister in the future?"
Although there is no stern component in the woman's words, she still accepts criticism from the bearded expression.
After all, this woman is his sister who grew up with him!
The bearded man cleared his throat and said seriously: "There are only more than 30 of them, and there is actually a senior contractor, but his strength is still a little worse than mine. There is a little boy in their team, who looks about fourteen or fifteen years old. This boy is very strange. I think he is a talent contractor!"
The man and the woman screamed at the same time: "What!"
"Can you be sure?" asked at the same time.
The bearded nodded: "By my eyes, I am not far away, but there is more to this in his strangeness-" He paused and looked at the man, "He is a double-tether!"
The man sat back on the chair with a "boom" and asked in a daze: "Are you really that sure? I mean, he is a talented contractor in both departments?"
"I can be sure! His ability is one of the wind and the other is dark, and he can use the advanced contract technique of the dark system!" The bearded man rubbed his stomach, "I was injured by him. However, judging from the situation where I fought with him, his control of power is not very stable. At present, the power of wind is basically increasing and the degree of protection of the body."
The woman nodded and grabbed the man's hand next to her and said, "Try to find out the details of the boy and grab him as much as possible. Also, does anyone else know that he is a talented contractor?"
The bearded man shook his head: "It shouldn't be there yet. If he were a talented contractor, then he wouldn't be just a soldier now."
"Very good, act according to the opportunity. We need manpower too much. While he is still young, he will be sent to the organization for training. It will not be impossible for us to be our help in the future! Alihado!"
“Alihado!”
After saying that, the bearded man wanted to get up and leave, but the man stopped him: "Liu Chang, have you brought all your people?"
The corners of the bearded mouth twitched a few times, but it was not obvious under the cover of the beard: "It has been brought, but when the Xinqin people attacked, the casualties were a bit heavy."
"A mere thirty people can beat your team of hundreds of people to heavy casualties!" The man seemed very angry and stood up again, "What are you, the leader, doing for food!"
The woman hurriedly grabbed the man, afraid that he would try to use the knife when he got angry: "Okay, OK, Liu Chang, sit down first and explain the matter clearly! Look, your brother-in-law is anxious!"
The man's face suddenly became even more angry, as if he was on the verge of explosion, but suddenly disappeared for no reason and sat down with a slight silence.
The bearded man sat back on the chair helplessly and continued, "We divided more than 20 people to explore the way first, and the remaining 100 people followed behind, but unexpectedly they killed halfway, I led fifty people to stop me, but I didn't expect that the child would get mad when he saw me, and the contractor took advantage of the fact that I was entangled by the boy and took the others to put all my subordinates down! In the end, the boy's "shadow clone" distracted me, so I was seriously injured and escaped..."
"In other words, you have nearly seventy people left now?" the man glanced at the bearded and asked.
"Actually, there are more than ten people left now..."
"What about the others?" The man became angry again, "Don't tell me that those more than thirty people caught up with your people so easily and killed them? You have more than 120 people under your command! In addition to your senior contractor and your second-in-commander, you just fed all your subordinates to them so easily?"
The bearded man lowered his head and said nothing.
"Where did the others go?"
"I don't know, I escaped alone at that time, and then...and later..."
"Later you became a bare general!" the woman interrupted, her face full of disappointment, "Brother, brother, how did you ask me to say hello? If my father knew about this, you would definitely not be able to escape with a beat!"
The room gradually fell into silence...
The bearded man took people out of the Xiaomuqiao Restaurant with anger. As soon as he got on his horse, a fat man came to the entrance of the restaurant with a large group of people.
"Well, Xiaomuqiao Restaurant, it seems that this is the biggest store in this town!" The fat man jumped off the horse with his hands behind his back, and came to the restaurant and said to the plaque on the door, "Okay, this one is it! Pang Hu!"
"What are the instructions of sir?" A strong man came to him.
"This is the one. Go and ask the boss if there is any place to provide for - uh, more than one hundred people, um! Is there a place to provide for more than one hundred people to eat?" the fat man commanded.
The man took the order and left, and soon came out again: "Sir, the store owner said it's okay to go on the third floor."
The fat man nodded, turned around and waved: "Brothers! Go and drink! I'll treat you!"
Amid the cheers behind him, the fat man strided and took the lead in walking into the restaurant.
Just as a group of them entered the door in a noisy manner, the fat man saw a man and a woman walking down the stairs opposite. His eyes leaped suddenly, and the man and a woman were also shocked, and then said:
"Such a coincidence!"
The fat man said in surprise: "We met again just a few days after we were separated. Lan, Yanlin, this world is really small!"
After saying that, he narrowed his eyes and smiled.
This man and woman are naturally Lan and Yanlin, and that fat man is Li Yi. Since meeting this man and woman in the fruit forest a few days ago, Li Yi has always felt that they are a little weird, but he can't tell why. This time he met again in this town, Li Yi naturally took a scruple.
At this time, you can meet this type of acquaintance in this place, Humph——There must be something tricky! Li Yi thought, then laughed happily, and before the other party could speak, he said first: "Meeting is fate. Since we can meet again in this vast sea of ​​people, why not go up and have a drink?"
Yan Lin looked at Lan beside him and slowly pressed his hands on the hilt of the knife around his waist.
Lan secretly winked Yan Lin, signaling him not to act rashly, and said with a clever smile: "This, we still have important things to do, I'm afraid it's not convenient, right?"
"It's okay, Pang Hu, Ling, invite my friends!" Li Yi waved his hand, pulled Lan's sleeve and left.
A fierce light flashed in Yan Lin's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. Pang Hu, who had been observing these two people secretly, naturally saw it in his eyes, and he also knew a little about Li Yi's overly enthusiastic performance.
There must be something wrong with these two people! He thought about it, so he became extremely enthusiastic. He stepped forward and wanted to hold Yan Lin's hand: "Brother, let's go! My adults rarely meet an acquaintance, you might as well go up and have a drink!"
Yan Lin glanced at Pang Hu, shook off his stretched hand, snorted disdainfully, and took up the stairs.
Pang Hu stared at the man's back in a daze. Judging from the wrist strength displayed by Yan Lin's wave just now and the two scimitars hanging around his waist, he was obviously a good knife player. From Pang Hu's perspective, the most powerful move among this person's sword techniques must be the downward chop!
If he faces him and he cuts his sword, he can only raise his sword to block it. It would be fine if he cuts his sword with two swords at the same time. If he just cuts his sword alone and blocks himself, then another scimitar will...
Pang Hu thought about it and thought that if he had faced him, he would have no chance of winning with his body skills and martial arts! He couldn't help but feel scared and sweated.
What happened to me today? I was just after I was taken by this man and I actually thought about it.
Pang Hu shook his head and followed.
The third floor of the restaurant is a fully opened hall. In the spacious hall, there are dozens of large round tables for ten people to sit at the same time. There are some decorative beasts hanging on the walls around it, which has a bit of a tough smell.
Li Yi walked into the hall with great strides, and after everyone sat down, he started ordering dishes. Ling and Pang Hu naturally sat beside him, and Lan and Yan Lin were also enthusiastically pulled to their table by Li Yi.
The wine and food were quickly brought up. The soldiers who had been busy all night were eating and drinking, and Li Yi was no exception. At this time, he showed his strong strength in eating, swallowing, drinking and chewing, and eating so vigorously. Pang Hu was no exception. When he was a robber, he ate the same way as Li Yi, while Ling chewed the finely cut pieces of meat in small mouthfuls and slowly savored them.
Yan Lin sat in his seat unnaturally, just slowly sipped the wine on the table, and the chopsticks never moved from beginning to end, while Lan seemed very natural, eating in small mouthfuls like Ling.
Chapter completed!
