Chapter 130 Trivia

Three people sit in a circle around a small hot pot, and a bowl full of wine is drunk in turn. The small hot pot is a very old style, the same as what Xia Bing eats in the plot, but the things cooked in it are completely different. , the voices of two ancients exclaimed from time to time, and the three people who celebrated the new year really have a feeling of enthusiasm.

Pang Yong picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth: "Wow, what is this, it smells so good!"

"This is a specialty of my hometown. It's called fatty beef rolls. What you eat is the best."

Pang Yong stared: "Didn't Xiao Er say that he has no meat, where did you come from..."

Xia Bing pointed to the pot: "This is delicious too, what is this?"

"This is also a specialty of my hometown. It's called ham sausage. You are now sandwiching lunch meat."

Xia Bing immediately exclaimed: "Wow, the names of things in your hometown are so strange!"

Anyang's face hurts. These two country bumpkins who have never seen the world will be surprised and ask questions when they eat, but this focus is too abnormal.

Pang Yong found another magical thing, and quickly asked: "What kind of egg is this, why is it so gray, it is also a special product of your hometown?"

"...It's called peeing beef balls!"

Pang Yong was startled: "Pissing cow balls, aren't they made of urine?"

Anyang looked helpless.

It was getting late outside, and Xiao Er had already started to blow out the candlestick. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a dignified woman in black and white Hanfu walking into the gate of the inn, looked around, and quickly walked towards the only table.

It is Chen Peirong!

Pang Yong's eyes suddenly froze, and he didn't say anything. He put down the wine bowl and stared blankly at Peirong getting closer and closer to him, a jade pendant swaying around his waist.

Anyang glanced at the two of them, pursed his lips and said nothing. He knew the story between Pang Yong and Peirong naturally because he was familiar with the plot.

Two years ago, Pang Yong was still the captain of Jiangdu City, holding the military power of a city. At that time, Wang Sheng was only his subordinate, and both of them fell in love with the same woman, that is Peirong. Perhaps Peirong was in love with Pang Yong at first. He is brave, invincible, upright and open-minded. He is indeed a very good man, but then she gradually fell in love with Wang Sheng. This equally brave but more refined and gentle man is perfect. s husband.

Until one day, when Pang Yong returned from the expedition, everything changed. Another jade pendant on Peirong's body was hung on Wang Sheng's waist. So he was in despair, rushed into the sand bandit's den by himself, killed him with a single knife, and then brazenly took off his armor and disappeared for two years.

"Whoever you fall in love with, you give this jade pendant to."

"The plot of dog blood!"

Anyang snorted lightly, shook his head and continued to eat.

Xia Bing devoured a piece of bread with a snort, followed Pang Yong's gaze and turned around, and also found the woman who had already stood at the table. She rolled her eyes, lowered her head and drank a large gulp of wine, and then quietly handed the wine bowl over. to Anyang.

It feels like it's saying--

Come, have a drink, there is a good show to watch!

Pang Yong was stunned, then withdrew his gaze and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Peirong asked, "Where have you been for the past two years?"

Pang Yong was silent for a while and said, "Aren't you here to ask me these boring questions?"

Peirong sat down beside him and said, "I suspect a monster has come to the house!"

As soon as these words came out, Pang Yong was stunned, and Xia Bing raised his head in surprise, only Anyang continued to eat and drink regardless, he was already familiar with this conversation.

Peirong lowered her eyebrows and continued: "Three months ago, Brother Sheng came back from Yinshan Mountain and met a group of sand bandits. He rescued a homeless girl..."

"Her name is Xiao Wei. She said she was the daughter of Suzhou silk merchant Gao Kun. She was framed by a dog officer and her family was ruined. She was sold to the sand bandits..."

"Suddenly, a heart-digging swordsman came to the city, and many people died. Fortunately, there was a knight to restrain him, otherwise he would be unscrupulous, but he is elusive, and the knight can't do anything about him..."

"Knight?" Pang Yong frowned, "Do you know who that knight is?"

"I don't know." Peirong shook her head, "I guess Gao Xiang and Xiahou Xiang knew about it, but they refused to tell me."

"Okay, you go on."

Anyang listened calmly, never uttering a word, and occasionally glanced at Xia Bing's reaction, even though Peirong's chivalrous person was him.

"I don't know when it started, many people suspected that it was the demon..."

It wasn't until Peirong finished telling all the stories that she looked at Pang Yong in a pleasing manner: "I have sent many, many letters, and I don't know if you will receive them."

Pang Yong asked, "How is it now?"

"Now..." Peirong was silent for a while, then lowered her eyebrows and whispered, "She is getting better and better with the people around me, and she is getting closer and closer to Brother Sheng..."

...

Anyang is no longer interested in their conversation, and no longer listens. It is nothing more than that Peirong wants her old lover Pang Yong to help find out the truth, so as to keep her love and status. And with Pang Yong's character and the love he once had for Peirong, he couldn't refuse.

When Peirong left, Pang Yong had the cheek to borrow some silver taels from her. Of course, he couldn't pay it back, and then Xia Bing borrowed half of it. Of course, she couldn't pay it back, until Anyang was funny. Looking at him, Pang Yong suddenly became nervous.

"You don't have money, do you?"

"...I'm rich."

Pang Yong looked him up and down a few times, then he was relieved, and said with certainty: "You are rich at a glance!"

Anyang smiled and said nothing.

That night, both Pang Yong and Xia Bing were a little drunk, but he was the only one who was sober.

In the evening, Xiahou Xiang came to him alone and asked, "Is it you who rescued the Prince of Wanli Restaurant the night before yesterday?"

Anyang frowned: "What?"

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect that what you said was true. You said that Brother Yong would come back, but Brother Yong did come back. You said that the lizard spirits would start killing people at night, and he really started killing people. You stopped it in time, and I thank you on behalf of all the people of Jiangdu City!"

"It's nothing, how many people died last night?"

"Two, the prince of Wanli Restaurant was originally the third."

Anyang nodded, seeing Xiahou Xiang's expression of hesitating to speak, he suddenly smiled and said, "If you have something to say, just say it directly, what are you doing?"

Xiahou Xiang nodded: "I want to ask you, since you have fought with the lizard spirit so many times, do you know who he is and where he is hiding?"

Anyang didn't want to think about it, and said bluntly: "I don't know."

Xiahou Xiangyi frowned: "I suspect one person who was with us back then..."

Anyang waved his hand to interrupt him: "Don't tell me this, monsters are all capable of transformation, and I don't know who they usually are."

Xiahou Xiang looked disappointed, seeing that Anyang didn't want to talk about this matter, so he stopped talking.

In fact, the monsters in this world do not have the ability to change, Anyang also knows who they are, but he doesn't want to say. Xiahou Xiang has approached him several times during this period, but he has always maintained an indifferent attitude, just to make them realize that they still have to rely on themselves, reduce the degree of his involvement in the plot changes, and let him generally return to the right track. , at least let the last battle take place as scheduled, so that he can ensure the safe completion of the second mission to the greatest extent.

Especially now that Pang Yong has come, it is good to leave this matter to Pang Yong. After he completes the first task, he will just wait to collect the spiritual energy.

"Then... I'll go first."

"Okay, Pang Yong's room is at the end of the corridor, you can go to him."

"Forget it, it's too late, there's nothing to say to him."

Xiahou Xiang waved his hand, opened the door and left the room. The sound of footsteps and armor quickly disappeared.

It didn't take long for Anyang to hear a slight movement outside the door, and suddenly said, "Everyone is here, why don't you come in and talk?"

Pang Yong's footsteps stopped abruptly, turned around and pushed open the door and walked in. He said hello with an embarrassed but smiling face: "Good evening!"

"people of the same taste."

"Uh... the knight that Peirong said to stop the swordsman is you, right?"

"it's me!"

Pang Yong hiccupped, and was never in shape. He sat down with a smile on his face: "Then tell me the origin of that swordsman?"

"Did you not hear just now?"

"You said he was really a demon? I don't believe it!"

Anyang chuckled softly. With the two protagonists appearing one after another, he regained a sense of control over the plot. In this world, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he could break his fate.

"It's fine if you don't believe me. You're here anyway, and I don't care. I'll leave the matter of catching the demon to you and Xia Bing."

"Xia Bing, that woman dressed like a man?"

Anyang put his index finger to his mouth, shoved, and glanced out the door at the same time.

Pang Yong lowered his voice and said, "You're kidding me, what's the use of her?"

Anyang looked at him helplessly, and made a look at the door: "Don't be so straightforward, maybe people will be listening outside the door!"

"How can..."

Pang Yong turned his head and said, but he was stunned before he finished speaking.

A woman dressed like a man is standing at the door, staring at him with her waist on her back: "Who do you say dressed like a man?"

Pang Yong looked embarrassed: "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue..."

Anyang stood up to smooth things out: "Uh, don't make noise, don't make noise, now is not the time to quarrel, why are you all awake?"

Xia Bing gave him a white look: "Your friend's armor is clanking when he walks, and when he hears this kind of sound, who can sleep on the rivers and lakes often?"

Anyang pointed to Pang Yong and corrected: "That's not my friend, it's his friend!"

Xia Bing didn't care about it either, walked in and asked directly, "Do you know about monsters?"

Anyang shrugged: "Isn't this nonsense, except for monsters, who would kill people for their hearts!"

"That's not what I said, I mean, have you fought that monster?"

"Delivered."

Xia Bing just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Pang Yong's wave: "Okay, okay, what are you two talking about, there are no monsters, just scare yourself!"

Xia Bing stared at him dissatisfied, too lazy to explain to him.

On the contrary, Anyang is happy to do this, and let the two protagonists worry about dealing with monsters!
