Chapter 28: Smile away grudges

Cangzhou South, beside the avenue.

There is such a Huaian Inn.

It is said that when the inn was looking for a location, they went back and forth and selected the best Feng Shui land. There happened to be a century-old locust tree standing in the middle. Everyone thought the tree was old. , it was a pity to cut it down, but the project could not be delayed, so in the end the boss and the craftsmen came up with the idea: It would be better to use this locust tree as the center, first define an "atrium", and then build a back shape around this courtyard. inn.

In this way, whether guests are staying, resting or eating, they can see the atrium's soaring ancient locust trees and dense shade through the windows of the lobby or guest rooms, which is also an elegant experience.

In this way, the inn was successfully built, and its name was naturally decided as "Huai'an".

Today, this inn has indeed become a local scene, and business has been good over the years.

However, recently, this inn, which has not been closed for at least more than ten years, and several shops around it, suddenly put up signs saying they would be "closed for a few days."

This is not the strangest thing... The strangest thing is: even though these shops have been closed down, there are still many people busy inside and outside these shops, and there are even people who are specially responsible for standing guard. , and they are all new faces.

There must be some good people nearby who want to find out what is going on?

As soon as I asked, I found out that it was said that there was a "big patron" who spent some money to book out the Huaian Inn and several small shops nearby, and planned to entertain a few " Distinguished guest".

As for how many days the guarantee will be given, it’s hard to say. Anyway, they will leave when they have finished receiving the people. Before that, one day counts, they will pay three days per day based on the store’s normal business turnover. Pay double the venue fee.

Not only that, during the period they booked the restaurant, they also replaced all the people inside and outside the store, from chefs to busboys to security guards, with people they brought with them. The original store didn't even have to pay for labor.

Everyone, after seeing this, many people must have guessed that the "major patron" who can do things like this is undoubtedly the Murong family.

And they specially booked the inn next to the road, and even cleared out the surrounding shops. Who are they planning to "entertain"?

We are not trying to show off here. Their "distinguished guests" are none other than Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai... Or to be more specific, this whole set of measures is aimed at Sun Yixie alone.

Let’s talk about the original Murong family, who wanted to expand his family’s business to the Jiangnan area, but was unexpectedly tricked by Brother Sun in Hangzhou and lost a lot of time and money. , In the end, the business was still not done, so I had to go back to my hometown in despair.

As soon as he returned home, he went to complain to his father Murong Shu and complained, saying that his overturn was really not due to lack of ability, but to blame Sun Yixie... How was that guy so despicable? , how cunning, how hypocritical... Anyway, basicallyIt's all facts, I told you a lot.

Unexpectedly, after Murong Ji finished speaking, instead of receiving sympathy and forgiveness from his father, he was scolded.

Murong Shu told his son: Whether it’s the world of martial arts or business... if you can’t play well with others, whatever you say afterwards will be in vain; you lost to others once today, it doesn’t actually matter, but if you You can't afford to lose, and you always blame others for your losses, and you always want to ask your father to help you solve problems and regain your position. Then wouldn't it be an embarrassment to our Murong family if you show this little consideration? ? Do you think everyone in the world is your father? Will there always be someone to wipe your ass?

Murong Ji was taught a lesson and was left speechless.

On the surface, he accepted his father's teachings. After all, he also understood that what he said was reasonable, but in his heart, he still complained a little about his father, and at the same time he felt sorry for Sun Yixie. The hatred also increased a bit.

But this kind of hatred is not a deep hatred. In the blink of an eye, almost a year has passed since this incident, and Murong Ji has gradually forgotten that experience, but he did not expect... Hey! It happened that it was at this time that he received the news that "East Harmony and West Poison" was heading to Cangzhou.

This is called enemies on a narrow road!

The Murong family has recently mobilized a large amount of manpower and material resources to Cangzhou in order to negotiate with the Ba Fist Sect in half a month. Moreover, this time the head of the family, Murong Shu, is personally in charge. It is a real " The strong dragon dares to overwhelm the local snake" momentum.

So today’s Cangzhou, even if it cannot be said to be the home court of the Murong Family, can still be considered half of the home court.

Murong Jixin said: If your surname is Sun, you brought it to my lips at this time, so you can’t blame me for being rude.

Stop talking about it, let me first set up a Hongmen Banquet for you to "receive the wind". How did you mess with me in Hangzhou? Just think that I learned from you, and I will mess with you again.

So, the whole Huaian Inn and its surrounding area began to unfold.

On the other side, Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai, the abbot, and the Niu brothers were unaware of this.

As for the few of them, after bidding farewell to Haicang Peak, they bought a carriage and headed north along the official road.

They went quite smoothly along the way. In ten days, they were close to the boundary of Cangzhou, and this Huaian Inn was indeed the place they must pass.

It rained in the evening.

The spring rain is continuous and the mist is fragrant.

The carriage that Sun Huang and others were riding in moved slowly along the somewhat muddy road.

When the outline of the inn faintly emerged in the distance, seven or eight people suddenly ran out of the fog ahead.

These people are all wearing coir raincoats. It is not known whether there are weapons hidden under the clothes, but judging from their running posture and breath, they are all practitioners.

The people driving the carriage, Niu Youjin and Niu Youyin, were both veterans. Seeing this, they immediately slowed down the carriage., and be ready to jump up to meet the enemy at any time.

At the same moment, the abbot in the car also noticed something strange outside. He was closing his eyes and concentrating. He was sitting still, but he had softly murmured a sentence in his mouth: "Don't worry. Don't start a fight, or you will be soaked in water."

It seems that he is more concerned about "can he win" or "can he survive" when facing a surprise attack? Fighting will get you wet.

Fortunately, things did not lead to a direct armed conflict...

The seven or eight people ran to the car and stopped, and then, The leader of them clasped his fists at the Niu brothers who were driving the horses, and said loudly: "You two, please stay. I dare to ask who is sitting in this car, but the abbot Fang Daxia, Sun Yixi, Sun Shaoxia, and Huang Donglai "Huang Shaoxia?"

At this time, although it was raining heavily, the sound of the rain was relatively soft, so the person raised his voice and asked, even if he didn't have ear skills in the car or outside, People can also hear clearly.

"This is Huang Donglai." After a breath, before the Niu brothers could speak, Huang Donglai had already lifted the curtain of the small window on one side of the carriage, revealed his face, and said to the man outside, "I don't know. What do you guys have to do with us?"

The reason why Brother Huang answered so simply was because he saw that the other party's words were quite polite, so he probably wasn't trying to kill anyone. Secondly, because... even if the other party comes here to kill people, they are not afraid if the abbot is by their side.

"Young Master Huang, you're very polite. We are just here to convey a message for the master..." The man opposite had a very low attitude and did not even dare to call him "brother", "My master I have booked the inn in front of you and want to welcome you. I wonder if any of you would like to go and talk to my master."

"Oh?" At this moment, Sun Yixie's face suddenly appeared from the small window. He inserted himself across there, pushed Huang Donglai's face away, and asked the person outside, "Is your master a boy or girl?"

"Uh..." This question was unexpected by the other party. What didn't come up was, "...a man." After hesitating for two seconds, he could only answer truthfully.

"Humph..." Upon hearing the answer, Sun Yixie immediately snorted coldly, sat back down, and opened his mouth to make a judgment, "The Hongmen Banquet is either adultery or robbery."

"No." Sun Yixie replied confidently, "But the other party is a woman. At least I'm not afraid of being raped, right?"

"Okay...just pretend I didn't ask." Huang Donglai laughed dryly and turned his gaze back.

At this time, the expressions on the faces of those running errands and messengers had changed, and they wondered if they had recognized the wrong person - how could these two look like young heroes?

"Okay then, we'll just go with you." Huang Donglai said immediately.

He also wants to wear it now. Since they have already booked the inn and are waiting for us, he still has no choice but to wear it.Come on, shall we refuse? Besides, we originally planned to stay at the inn in front of us, so instead of being toasted and not eating, we should go see how the Hongmen Banquet is held.

"Uh...Okay, please." The people who sent the message received a positive reply, so they divided into two groups. One of them ran back to the inn to report back, while the others Then they scattered around the carriage and trotted to follow them, as if they were afraid that they would suddenly speed up and escape.

At this time, the abbot in the chariot spoke again: "I said you two...is there something wrong with you two? Generally speaking, when we are traveling in the world, when we hear someone waiting to take care of ourselves, we immediately think of It's possible that some old friends in Tao'er want to host you, but why did you two think it was the Hongmen Banquet as soon as you opened your mouth?" Sun Yixie curled his lips, "Brother Huang has many enemies. ."

"Mao!" Huang Donglai raised his voice by an octave, "You're the only one who has the nerve to talk about me?"

"Okay, okay, I'm like that too. A few enemies, okay?" Sun Yixie raised his eyebrows in a rather shameless manner.

"Don't worry about a few, just four." Huang Donglai said, raising his hand and counting with his fingers, "Male, female, old and young."

"Then you are also four." Sun Yixie immediately choked back, "Human, ghost, demon, devil."

"Okay, you two, stop being poor, I understand. "The abbot has listened to a lot of cross talk between these two in the past few days, and quickly interrupted, "I guess now... after my "bodyguard" job is over, I will become your enemy. ”

While they were chatting, the carriage had already approached the inn.

I won’t go into details here about how the Murong family’s hands helped them hold the horses and hold the umbrellas.

To make a long story short, three minutes later, a group of five of them stepped into the door of Huaian Inn.

At this time, the lights were brightly lit in the lobby of the inn, and the banquet had been prepared. Not far from the gate, a large number of people were standing waiting, from the masters of the Murong family, retainers, to There are attendants responsible for serving.

After Shuang Xie and others entered the door, the first person who came to greet them was not Murong Ji, but Murong Shu.

"I, Murong Shu, have met Daxia Fang." The first person Murong Shu went to ask for a gift was not Shuanghe, but the abbot.

What's going on?

It turns out that his father knew all about Murong Ji’s operations in the past few days, but he just didn’t want to pay attention to them at first.

Because in Murong Shu's eyes, the incident between his son and Sun Yixie was nothing more than a small feud between the two juniors, not a life-and-death hatred—— If you guys want to make a fuss, just make a fuss. The worst is that my son will be teased by that boy from the Sun family again, so what will happen?

But just yesterday, Murong Shu learned information that even Murong Ji didn't know, that is, "among the people traveling with Sun Huang, there is an abbot."

Then the situation is different.

There are rumors in the world about the abbot’s temperament. It’s hard to say what he will do if he is present.

In love, Murong Shu was worried that his son would be treated badly if he offended the abbot.

Yu Li, if you want to marry someone of the abbot's seniority, you really need Murong Shu to do it in person.

To sum up, the head of the Murong family thought about it: Come on, the matter is over, let me go for it myself... If conditions permit, I can help my son to make a difference. The spirit of that Sun boy.

So, at noon today, Murong Shu suddenly appeared here and took over the command here from his son.

"Brother Murong Shu is so polite. Fang is just an idler, and I really don't dare to be a hero." Although this was the first time I met Murong Shu, since the other party was very polite, the abbot responded with courtesy.

This made Shuangxue stunned.

"Oh...so you can speak well?" Sun Yixie complained immediately.

"Brother Fang, you are so normal all of a sudden, we are not used to it." Huang Donglai also answered.

"Tsk..." Upon hearing this, the abbot turned his head with an expression as if he had eaten shit, sighed, and looked at Sun Huang again, "You two really don't mind having many enemies, right? ?"

"Haha..." Murong Shu also looked at Sun and Huang with a smile, and quickly judged who was who by the description of "one has no eyes and the other has no neck". "I guess you two are the famous 'Eastern Harmony and Western Poison'. They are indeed talented. Heroes come from young."

Murong Shu is just a cliche. Anyway, which young man have you met? Anyone can say these two sentences, unless the other person is really ugly, then replace "talented appearance" with "majestic appearance" or something like that.

"Senior Murong has received the award. The two of us are relatively young in the world of martial arts. We are all given face by our colleagues, and we are just a bit vain." Huang Donglai also followed his words and made a few self-effacing remarks.

"Easy to say, easy to say..." At this time, Murong Shu shifted his gaze to the Niu brothers standing behind Shuangxie, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, who are these two?"

Murong Shu really didn’t know the information about the Niu brothers, but he saw that the two men were tall, and their appearance and temperament did not look like they were inferior to others, and their leg skills were impressive. , so I asked by the way.

"I am Niu Nuowei..."

"I am Niu Siji..."

Niu Youjin and Niu Youyin spoke one after another, then they both clasped their fists and shouted in unison He responded: "I have met Mr. Murong."

Obviously, Sun Huang helped come up with their new pseudonyms...

For Sun Huang, starting from These two names are meant to be a joke, but to other people in this universe, they really can’t see the meaning of these words. The Niu brothers even think that these two names are quite good, and one refers to Keep your promises, and the other one means not forgetting your roots... It seems to be more sophisticated than their real names, anyway, it is better than "Ma Jin" and "Ma Yin"This one is much stronger.

"Okay, okay, you two are polite." Murong Shu had never heard of these two names, but he would not show any contempt on his face, so he returned the greeting politely.

At this moment, Sun Yixie's expression suddenly changed.

It wasn’t for anything else, just because at this moment, Brother Sun and Murong Ji, who was standing in the crowd behind Murong Shu and had been staring at him silently... met their eyes.

"Hey!" Sun Yixie's reaction was so quick that he screamed in an old bustard tone to cover up the change in his expression, and took advantage of the situation and stepped forward, heading straight towards Murong Ji, "Isn't this Brother Murong? Long time no see! I miss you so much! Hahahahaha..." As he spoke, he burst out laughing and stepped forward to give him He gave Murong Ji a warm hug, and patted him on the shoulder after the hug. His movements were smooth and smooth, as if he had really met his relatives. There was a happy look on his face.

As for Murong Ji, he was stupid, so he had no resistance to Sun Yixie's moves. After being hugged, he stood there in confusion, thinking in his heart: "Yes Did he mistake me for someone else? Or is there something wrong with my memory? Or is there some misunderstanding between me and him that I don't know about?"

Don't call him stupid, Murong Shudu? Stupid.

Murong Shu was also muttering in his heart at this time: "What do you mean? My son, didn't you have a feud with Sun Yixie in Hangzhou? Why are you looking at his relationship with you now... Are you still close to your own brother?"

There is no doubt that Sun Yixie's unexpected move and counter-attack... indeed succeeded in disturbing the other party.

As the saying goes, "Don't hit anyone with a smiling face." Originally, Murong Ji wanted to find a moment to jump out, and said to Brother Sun in a sinister tone, "Brother Sun, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect it would be me here." I'll wait for you here" to give the other party a blow, but now he couldn't say these words.

Even if he is colder towards Sun Yixie now, it seems a bit rude...

"Ah...Sun...Brother Sun, you are fine." Murong Ji was stunned. After a few seconds, I didn't know what to say, so I could only reply along the lines of the other person.

"It's easy to talk, which one of us will follow the other?" Sun Yixie saw that the other party was also joining the conversation, so he put his arm around her and said, "We won't go home until we get drunk today, hahaha."< /p>

In this way, the Hongmen Banquet, which was supposed to be a Hongmen Banquet with hidden knives in smiles and caution at every turn... turned into a banquet for catching the wind.

By the time the Murong family father and son came back to their senses the next day, word had spread throughout Cangzhou city that "the Murong family, in order to compete for the right to host the Young Heroes Association, invited East Harmony, West Poison and the World's No. 1 A shot to help the battle"... Such rumors. The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
