Spring in March, located in the west of Xuzhou, a small city called Lingbi.
This is just a common small city. Because of the strong and prosperous relationship of the eastern Wu, this small city, like other cities in the eastern Wu Dynasty, presents a scene of prosperity, as if it were in the peaceful and prosperous times.
People come and go on the street, along with the Hawking sound of hawkers one after another, so lively. Although Lingbi city is small, there is also a branch of Leishi restaurant throughout the whole of Soochow. In recent years, Leishi restaurant has been full of all the small cities in Dongwu. Because the cuisine of Leishi restaurant is unique and the drinks are more delicious. Moreover, it is said that the owner of Leishi restaurant has a close relationship with Chen Ren, the governor of the eastern Wu Dynasty. Instead of losing money because of the development, it is becoming more and more popular. If Cao Cao in the north is not fighting against the eastern Wu Kingdom at this time, Leishi restaurant will be opened to the north.
At this time, it was lunch time, and the restaurant was full of people. On a table on the corner of the second floor of Leishi restaurant, there are four people, three men and one woman, who are eating in silence. The dull atmosphere of this table is incompatible with the lively crowd inside and outside the restaurant.
Among them, the middle-aged man and another woman with a white gauze mask are obviously the master, while the two strong men on the other side should be servants of bodyguards. Although they are eating food, their eyes are still looking around cautiously.
"Bai ER! You can eat more food! Don't just eat! " Although the middle-aged man was dressed in simple clothes, his actions and actions exuded the momentum of a superior person. However, his prematurely aged face and the snow-white temples on his temples made the middle-aged man look much older than his actual age.
And the woman with white gauze around him nodded, but also just put a green vegetable in his bowl, and continued to eat.
The middle-aged man looked at the woman like this can not help but sigh, from the waist took out a wine gourd, in the hand hefty. He handed the wine gourd to a strong man sitting opposite: "Lao Jiu, give me a pot of wine!" The old nine took the wine gourd in a hurry, and then turned to get the wine.
After Lao Jiu left, the middle-aged man picked up the wine pot on the table and filled his glass with wine. Just after he picked up the glass to drink, the woman next to him who had been silent suddenly said: "uncle, uncle, uncle, don't drink any more because he is not feeling well these days." The woman's voice was soft and sweet, and it should not be more than 20 years old.
The middle-aged man was stunned at first, looked at the woman around him, and finally sighed. He put down the wine cup in his hand, and said to the remaining strong man, "old seven, you go to find old nine, and you say that he doesn't have to fight for wine!"
"Here it is The old seven gave a fist to the middle-aged man, drank in a low voice, and then got up and chased after him in the direction of Lao Jiu.
The woman raised her mouth slightly from the gap of the white gauze, and said, "uncle, you'd better warn Lao Qi in a moment. He still can't forget his old habits. Now we are just a few refugees escaping from the war, and no one can casually salute him. By contrast, Lao Jiu, though younger, is much more careful than Lao Qi. "
The middle-aged man is a Leng, looking at the woman said: "or Bai Er careful, I did not notice these details. Yeah! I will give a good warning to Lao Qi later! Now that we are in Sun Jian's territory, we must be careful of everything! "
But the woman sighed and said to the middle-aged man, "uncle, do we really want to go to Nanyue?"
The middle-aged man was silent for a while, his face showed a few painful expressions, and said to the woman: "Bai Er, uncle doesn't want to take you to that kind of barren land, but the north is Cao Cao's territory. No matter how we hide there, we can't escape."
"Can't we go back to Liangzhou?" The woman still has some unwilling to give up the taste, imploring the middle-aged man.
He said, "you haven't been chased by Uncle Han in the battle of Liangzhou. It's too dangerous for us to go to Liangzhou now! "
"Then we can stay in Xuzhou, too?" Women do not want to go to Nanyue, which is no wonder that in this era, Nanyue is still an undeveloped small city. It is said among the Han people that there are poisonous snakes and wild animals, and many uncivilized barbarians. This woman looks like a lady trained by a big family. Naturally, she doesn't want to go to that kind of wild land.
The middle-aged man shook his head again and said to the woman, "I'm afraid it can't be done. Although Sun Jian, the leader of the Soochow Kingdom, has not ordered us to be arrested, it is too close to Cao Cao here. Sooner or later, there will be a big battle between the eastern Wu Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty. If it does, Xuzhou will be too unsafe. Only escaping to Nanyue can be regarded as real security. Even if Cao Cao defeated Sun Jian, he would never be too interested in Nanyue. "
At this time, Lao Qi and Lao Jiu also came up from downstairs. Lao Jiu walked to the middle-aged man with a dignified expression. He leaned down and said a few words in the middle-aged man's ear. The middle-aged man also frowned and whispered to Lao Jiu: "be careful!" As expected, Lao Jiu was different from Lao Qi. Instead of holding fists for military salute, he bent towards the middle-aged man, just like a general domestic servant saluting his master.The middle-aged man turned his head and whispered to the woman, "Lao Jiu said that two strange teenagers came down the stairs, and they couldn't see the origin. We'd better be careful. We'd better finish eating and then go."
The woman just nodded and two teenagers walked up the stairs on the other side of the second floor. A young man was wearing a blue long coat. Although the style was simple, the fabric of the dress was very good. He wore a bun on his head and wrapped it with a blue scholar's towel. He wore a brown belt around his waist and a pair of white cloth boots on his feet. Judging from his appearance, this young man should not be more than 20 years old. He has sword eyebrows and stars, red lips and white teeth, and is very handsome. The most unforgettable thing is that his eyes, which keep flashing light, seem to be very clever.
And the youth around him should be similar to his age, and the appearance is not bad, but a little pale, but has a different elegant and natural demeanor. The young man was wearing a white long coat, and the fabric would never be worse. He wore a bun on his head, but he was pinned with a good jade hairpin, with a precious gold silk belt around his waist and a pair of black leather boots on his feet.
As soon as the two teenagers stepped on the second floor, they attracted all the people's eyes, including the middle-aged man in the corner. The middle-aged man frowned. The two teenagers should not have come to hunt them down. However, looking at their temperament and dressing up, they should be well-off. Lingbi city is just a small county, and there should be no such big family!
Feeling the eyes of the public, the two teenagers also seemed to be a little uncomfortable. After looking around, they found no vacancy. The boy in white should have called the waiter of this restaurant.
Although it is said that the store is a big bully, it also needs to be divided into different objects. Generally speaking, those who do as a bartender have some ability to see people. At present, the two young masters were of extraordinary origin. Maybe they were relatives of some senior official. Where did the shopkeeper dare to neglect him, he ran over and asked with a smile: "young masters, what can I do for you?"
The young man in Green took it out of his arms for a long time. Finally, he took out a small iron plate with black paint and handed it to the bartender and said, "give this sign to your shopkeeper!" The bartender took over the small iron plate and saw that it was no more than the size of a palm, and there was a word carved on it. However, the waiter had not read any books since he was a child, so he could not recognize the ancient Chinese characters. However, the bartender could feel that the two youngsters must be of extraordinary origin. He quickly bowed to them and ran to the third floor of the restaurant with a small iron plate in his hand.
After a while, I saw a middle-aged man who was as fat as a ball and ran down from the third floor, followed by the famous waiter who had just gone up. Down to the second floor, the fat man then swept around the second floor, and finally his eyes fell on the two teenagers standing at the entrance of the stairs, which made his eyes shine. At this time, the bartender also arrived behind the fat man and whispered a few words in the fat man's ear. The fat man couldn't help but shiver and ran to the two teenagers and gave a big gift first.
The young man in green quickly helped the fat man up and said with a smile, "this is the shopkeeper of Leishi restaurant in Lingbi city?"
"That's the villain!" The fat shopkeeper was sweating and carefully held the small iron card handed over to him by the waiter in front of the youth in Tsing Yi.
The young man in Tsing Yi took back the small iron plate with a smile, and said to the fat shopkeeper, "our brothers passed by Lingbi and wanted to find a place to fill their stomachs. But your shop seems to have a good business today, and there is no place for it."
The fat shopkeeper was frightened by the young man in Tsing Yi. The fact that he didn't recognize the little iron plate shopkeeper doesn't mean that the shopkeeper sent from Jianye general store doesn't recognize him. The word "Lei" is engraved on it, which is the surname of the leader of Lei's restaurant. This kind of iron card is only 50 yuan in the world. Those who own this iron card are undoubtedly officials and dignitaries. Although I don't know the identity of this young man, he can get this iron medal at such a young age. I think the identity of this young man is not simple. Let alone a shopkeeper of a small city branch, I'm afraid that even the big shopkeeper of Pengcheng branch of Dufu in Xuzhou can't afford it.
