    Chapter 127: Restaurant at the Foot of the Mountain

    ¡°The dragon opens its eyes on the first day of February, the dragon raises his head on the second day of February, and the drizzle falls on the third day of February, like a dragon sweating.¡±

    In the cool breeze, raindrops flew sideways, covering the entire world with smoke and mist, and unknowingly wetted the clothes of passers-by.

    In the drizzle, the horse's hooves turned lightly, bringing up pieces of soil, leaving two clear lines of hoof prints, bringing up a gust of breeze, shaking the low and somewhat fresh branches and leaves on the roadside.

    "Look, we won't be able to reach Shanghong County at noon for the time being." Li Jing raised his head and looked at the sky. The drizzle showed no sign of stopping.

    Xiang Xun patted his belly, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "If I had known earlier, I should have listened to Tang Kuina's advice and brought a few more kilograms of smoked meat, so I won't be hungry now"

    "How could we know so much earlier? At that time, we thought there were too many things. Hmmdid you smell anything? It smells good!" Li Jingzheng shook his head and smiled, then suddenly sniffed and said happily.

    The two of them stayed in Yulong Village until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and finally reluctantly said goodbye to their brothers and friends in Yulong Village and Liuyun Ranch, and embarked on the road to Xiangyang.

    After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the snow on the road had long since melted away. The two of them rode the horses sent by Liuyun Ranch and headed straight from Jingshan to Xiangyang.

    Due to the fact that Jingling County Governor Zhu Wuque's team was massacred by Jin Yunfei, the two of them walked through villages and towns along the way, but never entered the city, because the wanted portraits of the two were plastered everywhere.  Generally speaking, I don't worry much about ordinary pursuits, but it is quite unpleasant to be disturbed wherever I go.

    The two of them walked continuously for more than half a month, and finally entered the boundary of Xiangyang County. At this time, they were still more than 20 miles away from Shanghong, the county seat in the south of Xiangyang County.

    Because they slept in the wilderness the night before, and the dry food in their bags had already been exhausted, the two of them still had not eaten a grain of rice until noon, and their eyes were green from hunger.

    The two urged their horses to turn around the foot of a hill, and they saw a straight official road leading to the north. Under the foot of the hill, a long cloth banner from a restaurant was fluttering in the wind, and bursts of aroma came from the restaurant.  Floating over.

    The size of the restaurant is not large, but since it is the only one, the business is quite good. In some simple stables nearby, more than a dozen horses of different colors are tied up and munching fodder leisurely.

    The two of them jumped off their horses, and a young man with quick hands and feet had already stepped forward to take care of the horses for them.

    The two of them walked into the restaurant and saw that the dining room was quite spacious. Maybe it was because it reopened shortly after the new year, or maybe it was because the store was working hard. In short, the whole restaurant gave people an extremely clean and tidy feeling.  , even though it is still drizzling outside, the ground in the dining room does not look muddy at all.

    There are more than ten square tables in the dining room, but seven or eight tables are full of traveling guests. Although they are talking to each other, their voices are not very high, so it is quiet.

    As soon as the two people entered the store, the customers looked up and looked up, not only because of their tall and burly figures, but also because of their extraordinary demeanor.

    "Two guests, please take a seat. Although our restaurant is not big, the chef in charge is quite good. I wonder what you two would like to eat?" The waiter led the two of them to sit at a square table with a smile on his face, and then  He asked with a very respectful smile.

    "Haha, I can smell the aroma from all the way. Just pick out a few of your store's specialty side dishes. If you're hungry, the more the merrier!" Xiang Xun sat down at the table in a hurry and touched  He chuckled.

    "Okay, you two, just wait a moment. I'll be here in a moment." The waiter seemed to be used to this scene, and he was not timid. He nodded at the two of them, turned his head and raised his neck and said to the inner room: "  There are two tables with water characters, a bowl of Biyu soup, a fragrant sauce chicken, two pounds of braised beef meat, and a plate of three fresh meatballs"

    "Oh, two more jars of good wine!" Li Jing interrupted the waiter's rather melodious tone.

    "No problem, I'll bring it right away!" The waiter deftly went to the counter and brought two jars of wine, and then he was called by the waiter to bring the dishes.

    Xiang Xun saw Li Jing slapping the mud seal off the wine jar very quickly, and couldn't help but grinned: "Second brother, your addiction to alcohol is getting worse and worse now."

    "Ha, I've been fooling around with the drunkards in the ranch and Yulong Village these days, and the alcohol bug in my belly is screaming every day." Li Jing poured drinks for the two of them and said with a smile.

    After the drinks were poured, the waiter brought over a plate of neatly chopped sauce and a plate of thinly sliced ??braised beef.

    The two of them were drinking jirou and beef roux, and it was wonderful for a while. As they were chatting, they heard a man with a deep voice at the next table whisper:??: "Do you think this is a real thing about a county guard setting up a competition to attract a bride?"

    "Hey, the news has spread throughout Xiangyang County, can he still fake it? Tsk tsk, Wei, are you planning to become a son-in-law?" Another round-faced man said happily after a glass of wine.  .

    ¡°Go, go, go, you haven¡¯t been serious all day long!¡± The man with a deep voice waved his hands impatiently.

    "That's not necessarily the case. I heard that several brave generals under the governor of Zhang County unfortunately lost their lives in a bandit suppression campaign a few years ago. This competition to recruit relatives may be to recruit the commander-in-chief.  Where are the people?" A man with broad shoulders and broad back shook his head.

    "Pull him down I have thousands of soldiers under my command, so why can't I pick out a decent person? Lao Jiang, stop dreaming What's the good thing about being a soldier? I might give him away someday.  Life, floating freely in the rivers and lakes like we are now, isn't it also good for you?" The round-faced man's mouth was not blocked at all, and he struck the thick-backed man without any scruples.

    The thick-backed man was not annoyed, he just shook his head and sighed: "What's the benefit of floating like this? What's the point of being a real man if he can't make achievements in life?"

    "Here you go again thinking about making achievements all day long. If you lose your life, who cares what achievements you have? In the end, it is just a handful of loess Come, come, drink, drink" The round-faced man curled his lips.  , persuaded the wine.

    The man with a deep voice also nodded and said: "Old Jiang, in fact, Fatty's words are right. Think about it, in this chaotic world right now, is there any good future for following Yang Guang? Even if you really  If you want to join the army and make meritorious deeds, you must also vote for someone with the status of an emperor"

    The man who was called Lao Jiang shook his head and said nothing. He just raised his wine glass, clinked it with the two of them, raised his neck and swallowed the wine in the glass in one gulp

    "Yu Yu"

    Just when the two of them were about to finish eating and drinking, they heard the rapid sound of horse hooves coming from outside. Judging only from the sound of footsteps, the number of people should be about ten.

    "Hahaha! That's great. I didn't expect to meet such a good horse in such a small place! Come, help me get rid of them all, and take them away!" A man's voice was not very manly, but his tone was quite manly.  The domineering guy shouted loudly.

    "Hey, gentlemen, these horses belong to our guests. You can't just take them away!" The boy who was responsible for taking care of the horses quickly came up to stop them.

    "Fuck you! How dare anyone interfere with the old man's business?" A clear whip sound sounded, causing the little boy to howl in agony!

    How dare you steal a horse openly in broad daylight?  What kind of banditry is this?  !

    A few timid guests looked out of the window and saw that the other party was crowded, but for a moment they didn't know whether they should go out and argue with them.

    And a few brave ones with some skills - such as the three old Jiangs, without saying a word, rushed out of the store angrily and confronted the group of bandit-like figures!

    "Where did this bastard come from? He's not afraid of being struck to death by thunder if he does too many bad things!" The round-faced man's mouth was still so damaged.

    "Hey, you damn ducks, you have a very tough mouth, but if your subordinates don't have enough strength, you should just keep your tail between your legs and be a good person! Give them a lesson so that they know how to behave.  You're a good boy, haha" The two sides started to take action as soon as they disagreed.

    When Xiang Xun and Li Jing walked out of the store leisurely, they saw the three customers fighting with six of the other party. Judging from the situation on the court, the level of the three of them was pretty good.  It's just that the opponent was fighting two against one, but they had the advantage for a while.

    The two of them looked up at the man who called himself "old" and saw a young man with a well-proportioned figure and a handsome appearance sitting on a horse. However, he had a pair of narrow eyes.  With a look of ridicule and disdain in his eyes, he looked at the three people coldly.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT THE LORD

    "Oh, peace brings wealth, peace brings wealth, don't fight, heroes, stop it" the shopkeeper of the restaurant came out and hurriedly persuaded.

    The young man on horseback raised the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Hmph! Just stay aside for me, otherwise I will piss off the old man and burn down your restaurant!" After saying that, it turned out to be  He raised his hand and shot out a knife, piercing directly into the shopkeeper's body!

    The shopkeeper of the restaurant is about forty years old. He is usually very gentle towards others. He did not expect that he would encounter such a evil star today.

    Seeing that the knife was about to pierce his body, the shopkeeper was horrified for a moment. Suddenly, he saw a big hand stretched out from the side, and it was like picking up a flower.The knife was caught easily, and it was immediately shot towards the six people fighting in the field. It happened to deflect the steel knife of one of them, so that the round-faced man who was about to be chopped off in the shoulder escaped.

    The young man on the horse narrowed his eyes, his face darkened slightly, he glanced at the two of them coldly, and said, "Since you people are so nosy, let's try our old tricks!"
