Chapter 203 Warriors
The local specialties Wang Jue mentioned are really local specialties.
Dried seafood such as dried abalone, dried sea cucumbers, and dried squid, as well as some Western gadgets such as telescopes, compasses, red wine, etc.
No money was involved, so Yang Ge was naturally happy to accept Lao Wang and Zhou Fu's wishes...
In the next half month, the delicious smell of the sea often wafted out of the Yuelai Inn, and the salted fish followed Yang Ge to feast on it.
Time just can't stand to be wasted. It's snowing in a blink of an eye, and it's New Year's Eve. The salted fish in the inn also start to say goodbye to Yang Ge in twos and threes, and set off home to celebrate the New Year.
There are only a few homeless salted fish left, and they meet at the inn every day regardless of wind or snow.
The inn finally became deserted...
I don't know if he was infected by this deserted atmosphere. Zhao Yu, who had always been cheerful and active, had become sluggish these days. He took over Yang Ge's position and lay listlessly on the counter, concentrating on the salted fish in the front hall. She can't cheer up even if she talks about exciting things.
On this day, Yang Ge tore into the freshly baked dried squid and walked into the front hall from the backyard. At a glance, he saw Zhao Yu lying on the counter and looking out at the door, with a bunch of unruly hair on his forehead. Stand upright, motionless...
He couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, walked over lightly, tore off a piece of dried grilled squid, and slowly fed it to Zhao Yuan's mouth.
Zhao Yuan's eyes were still staring at the door, but he honestly followed the aroma with his mouth and took the dried squid into his mouth and chewed it. Only then did his confused eyes light up...
"what is this?"
She turned back to look at Yang Ge, smiled reluctantly and said, "It smells so good."
Yang Ge kept tearing the dried squid into his mouth and asked dryly: "What's the matter, are you homesick?"
Zhao Yun was stunned for two seconds, and the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed again. He leaned back on the counter and muttered duplicitously: "No... no!"
Yang Ge clicked his tongue, shook his head and said, "You said that your stingy father doesn't want to invite me to his birthday, so why don't you even forget about your own daughter?"
Zhao Yu said "Huh" and raised his head to look at Yang Ge in confusion: "Yes, why didn't he invite you, second brother, to celebrate his birthday?"
Yang Ge curled his lips: "Why else? He's afraid that I'll beat him if I get itchy hands!"
Zhao Yu:......
She lay back again and said feebly: "I don't miss him. Anyway, I couldn't see him during his birthday celebrations in previous years. I just miss my mother a little. It's been more than half a year since I came out this time, and I don't know her." How are you doing in there? Does your chest still hurt..."
Yang Ge said "tsk" again and said with a smile: "Your mother is enjoying the blessings in the palace. Don't you say she's as pitiable as if she's in jail?"
Zhao Yu didn't reply, and just sighed unhappily.
Yang Ge looked at her pitiful look and felt troubled, so he said: "You can go home if you want, and no one is stopping you to let you go... I'll let the warriors from the upper right station go away tomorrow." I'll take you back to the palace."
Zhao Yu suddenly raised his head and looked at him: "I'm back, what should I do?"
Yang Ge was confused: "What should I do?"
Zhao Yuan: "When I go back, don't you have to spend the New Year alone again? There's not even anyone to talk to..."
Yang Ge:......
He said speechlessly: "I don't need to talk nonsense to you... That's all, you can pack up and go home early tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Zhao Yu grabbed his sleeve and pulled him, his big eyes flickering and said: "You don't want to send me back and don't want me anymore, do you?"
Yang Ge broke away from her paw and cursed in a low voice: "Fuck you, love will never come back, love will never come back!"
He was cursing, but Zhao Yuan followed him with a smile, reached out and snatched the grilled dried squid from his hand: "I know you can't let me go, second brother!"
Yang Ge: "I knew you were greedy for my body and you are despicable!"
Zhao Yu: "That's better than you. You're not greedy for my body, you eunuch!"
Yang Ge: "Hey...where did you learn this?"
Zhao Yuan: "Well, he taught me!"
Yang Ge followed her line of sight and saw the gangster playing mahjong in the box, winking at Zhao Yu crazily.
"Well you rascal!"
Yang Ge angrily blew out two streams of hot air from his nostrils, rolled up his sleeves and strode over: "If I don't slap you with a peach blossom on your face today, you won't know why the flowers are so red!"
The gangster threw away his cards and hid under the table: "No, Second Master, the Second Shopkeeper forced us to teach her this. We were wronged..."
Yang Ge was grabbing one of his legs and pulling him out from under the table, and his ears immediately caught the key word: "We?"
He raised his head suddenly and sneered at Xiao Baoqi, Flea and others with twinkling eyes on the table.
When the three of them met his gaze, their scalps suddenly exploded. They all jumped back and jumped more than ten feet away: "No, Second Master, we didn't say anything!"
"Slander, hooligans slander us, Second Master!"
"Second Master, you know everything clearly, so don't let this guy fool you!"
The gangster poked his head out from under the table, scratched his neck and shouted: "You unloyal bastards, you are obviously the one who said that the second master is not flirtatious with women. Is he hurting his body by practicing... I still stand for the second master. I have spoken, saying that the second master definitely has someone in mind and looks down on vulgar fans!"
Yang Ge's face flushed, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from his teeth: "You bastards, I treat you to delicious food and drinks every day, but you are secretly stirring my tongue. Today, I will beat you to death, and you will be considered clean!"
He suddenly stretched out a hand, grabbed and pulled the three people in the distance, and the three people who jumped out were immediately sucked in front of Yang Ge by a strong suction force, while Zhao Zhua, who was standing between the three people, did not move at all.
The four people were stunned by Yang Ge's miraculous skills. When Yang Ge raised his fist as big as a sandbag, they wailed in unison: "Second Master, spare us, we will never dare to do it again..."
"Second Shopkeeper, please beg for us!"
Zhao Zhua, who was on the other side, raised his hands, baring a tiger tooth, and was so happy that his teeth were not visible.
...
At the right time, outside the East City Gate
More than a dozen riders got off their horses and rushed towards the city gate, bleeding all the way.
"Quick, quick, we'll be safe once we get into Luting!"
"The Five Poison Sect will never dare to use force in Luting County!"
"My fellow disciples, hold on..."
A hundred feet behind them, dozens of tough men wearing heavy black and red robes and holding heavy machetes drove their horses with loud "woo woo woo" sounds, chasing the more than ten riders in front of them. Even when the Luting city gate was in sight, they did not slow down at all.
The dark crowd of people and horses swept across the snow like a gust of wind, as if a large dark cloud was passing through, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Between the pursuit and the escape, the city gate was close at hand, and the more than ten riders walking in front could already see the word "Luting" above the city gate clearly.
But just when they were ecstatic, they were overjoyed and turned to sorrow...
They only heard a whine of "Herod", and a strong horse running in the middle ran out of energy, bent its front legs and fell to the ground with the knight on its back.
More than ten riders were too close, and one rider suddenly fell down. Several knights behind had no time to dodge, and could only watch the strong horses under their seats hit them and fall to the ground...
Six or seven people fell to the ground and rolled on the spot. After landing, they only had the strength to spit blood and couldn't even stand up.
They were really injured and too tired.
Even though the long-awaited paradise was within reach, they could no longer move a finger...
The four or five riders in front had already rushed into the city gate. Seeing the six or seven people behind them fall off their horses, they also turned over and dismounted, staggering back: "Brothers, hold on!"
They rushed back into the snow, grabbed one brother after another, and desperately dragged them towards the city gate with all their strength.
The bodies of six or seven people were scratched in the snow, leaving a trail of bright red drag marks...
"Second brother, we can't do it!"
A man lying on the ground tightly grasped the big hand in front of his chest, spitting blood and trying his best to pry open his palm: "Go quickly, the hope of the sect... is all on you!"
"Go!"
"Go quickly... Puff!"
The men lying on the ground shouted hoarsely.
The men who were dragging them held them tightly with tears in their eyes and refused to let go: "We have arrived at the road pavilion, hold on!"
"Big brother, you go, we are here to accompany the junior brothers!"
"Yes, big brother, you go quickly, I will fight these bastards today..."
"No, if you want to leave, we go together, if you want to stay, we stay together."
Faced with this touching and tear-jerking scene, dozens of pursuers who had caught up laughed out loud with gloating.
They turned over and dismounted. A gloomy middle-aged man with a goatee on his chin stood out from the crowd. He waved the thick-backed machete in his hand and slapped his thighs from time to time. He walked slowly towards the rolling gourds in front of him: "Run, aren't you good at running?"
"The road pavilion is in front, you guys try harder, we won't dare to attack you again after entering the road pavilion!"
"Hahaha..."
Just when their gloating and complacent laughter reached its peak, a voice with a faint smile suddenly came from above them: "I say, don't you understand where this is?"
All the people in the snow looked up at the same time, and saw a slender figure wearing a prisoner cow embroidered clothes inside and a pure black cloak outside, standing on the top of the city, smiling and looking down at them.
Seeing him, the middle-aged man with a goatee in the lead narrowed his eyes, smiled and raised his sword and bowed, saying: "So you are a friend of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. I am Yuchi Zhen, the leader of the Tianlong Hall of the Five Poison God Sect. I am honored!"
The man on the top of the city smiled and shook his head slowly, saying: "Don't try to climb up randomly. I don't have friends as fierce as you... Hey, you guys from the Xiyu Sword Sect, what are you still doing? Aren't you cold lying in the snow?"
The rolling gourds in front of the city gate heard the words, as if they had just woken up from a dream, and shouted in unison in ecstasy: "Thank you for saving my life!"
"... I, the Xiyu Sword Sect, have nothing to repay you. If you have any orders in the future, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"Quick, hurry into the city, we are saved..."
The brothers started crying as they spoke.
The man on the top of the city smiled and waved his hands: "Don't thank me, this is Luting, you should thank the Second Master!"
The brothers who were crying and holding their heads in their arms quickly changed their words: "Second Master, I will never forget your life-saving grace, and thank you for your help!"
"My life-saving grace is in no particular order. I would like to thank you for your life-saving grace. Your Excellency, we will definitely remember your life-saving grace and will never forget it..."
The brothers shouted at the top of their lungs.
The man with a goatee and a black robe frowned in displeasure, and then he held the knife in his hand again with a smile on his face and said: "My lord, these are the disciples of the Drizzle Sword Sect, but my hall master requested them by name. Character, I’m afraid it’s not good for you to interfere like this?”
The man on the top of the city heard the words, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared. He looked down at the dozens of men in black expressionlessly and said one after another: "I said, this is the road pavilion!"
The man with goatee and black robe looked at him steadily, and the slightly humble smile on his face suddenly turned into an unruly and arrogant smile: "Someone knows that this is a road pavilion... so what?"
The man on the top of the city laughed at his arrogance and gave him a thumbs up without hesitation: "You are awesome, your Five Poison Sect is really fucking awesome!"
The man with a goatee and a black robe put down the machete in his hand and sneered, "I'm making your Excellency laugh!"
"Not funny!"
The man on the top of the city immediately replied: "I just want to ask you one more thing...does your hall master and your leader know that you are so brave?"
The man with a goatee and a black robe laughed and said: "I want you to know that I teach three hundred thousand followers, and everyone is brave. Please think twice before you act... Don't bring trouble to your second brother!"
The man on the top of the city suddenly opened his eyes wide, and almost couldn't help but give him a thumbs up again... Life is too short, and you still have to take shortcuts! Awesome!
He was too lazy to say any more words, and stretched out his hand to move back. A large number of warriors in embroidered clothes emerged from the top of the city, aiming at the group of men in black with a stringed hand crossbow: "The door is right here, you are brave enough." Just let your horse come over!"
The man with a goatee and a black robe tightened the machete in his hand, squinted his eyes and sneered: "Really? Then a certain family really wants to try it today!"
…
Yuelai Inn.
Yang Ge sat down on top of the four Arhats stacked up in various directions, patted Xiao Baoqi under him and asked, "Are you convinced?"
Xiao Baoqi lay on the gangster with a pair of panda eyes, raised his head with great effort and replied: "I'm convinced, I'm convinced..."
Yang Ge: "Louder, I can't hear you!"
Xiao Baoqi: "We are convinced, we are convinced!"
Gangster: "Second Master, please forgive me, we won't dare to bite your tongue again next time!"
Flea: "I really don't dare..."
Yang Ge clapped his hands and slowly raised his buttocks: "Next time you dare to chew my uncle's tongue, I will break all three of your legs!"
Zhao Yu, who was in the room, covered his face with his hands and shrugged his shoulders violently.
Yang Ge glanced at her: "Don't laugh either. If you dare to imitate their outrageous words again, your legs will be broken too!"
The gangster behind him, who was getting up with a sigh, heard this and said angrily: "Second Master, you are partial! Why don't you break her three legs as well?"
Xiao Baoqi really couldn't stand listening, so a hungry tiger flew up to her, raised her fist and punched her: "Are you a fucking tiger? Does she have a third leg?"
The fleas on the side clenched their fists tightly to encourage him: "Kick him brother-in-law. If it weren't for his stupid nonsense, our three brothers wouldn't have received this beating!"
Zhao Yu, who was in the other room, couldn't bear it any longer and clutched his stomach: "Goose, goose, goose..."
Yang Ge was too lazy to take care of these pieces of hob meat anymore. He was thinking about going to the kitchen to make some dry food for this oyster to take home as a souvenir, when he suddenly heard a muffled sound of "boom" in his ears.
He turned his head in surprise and looked in the direction of the east city gate, and in the next second he flashed and disappeared.
The brothers who were still fighting around looked around in confusion, and saw only the heavy door curtain floating.
Xiao Baoqi moved his wrists and got up from the gangster: "East City Gate?"
Flea said in surprise: "No way? Does anyone dare to come to Luting to cause trouble?"
The gangster rubbed his head and got up: "Which hero is so brave? I, Niu Meng, will definitely give him a fragrance next year!"
Xiao Baoqi: "This is not simple. Just go and see it and you will know?"
Flea: "Let's go together..."
Zhao Yu came to his senses and hurriedly followed the four of them, shouting: "Take me with you, take me with you, I have never seen anyone fight!"
The four of them all turned around and looked at her with disdain: "Will I take you with me?"
"Three legs broken?"
"Go and stay where you can to cool off!"
"Those with big breasts have no sense of loyalty!"
"Fuck, are you serious about this shit?"
"Come on, come on, don't tell me you know our three brothers from now on!"
"Yes, yes, we never know any bullshit!"
"You three illiterate bastards, let me say it again, my name is Xunshi, and that character is pronounced 'Xun', not 'dog'!"
"Shit is better than seeking death, right? You are such a ignorant person!"
"Come on, hurry up, don't talk nonsense to him, otherwise when the second master comes back later, our three brothers will be covered in blood..."
The four of them walked faster and faster. After stepping out of the inn, they all jumped two or three feet high. After borrowing their strength from the snow-covered buildings, they ran forward several feet at a time. Several rabbits jumped up and falcons fell. In a moment, he disappeared.
Zhao Yuan was left jumping around at the door of the inn and yelling at their backs: "You ungrateful bastards, wait until the second brother comes back and see if I sue you or not..."
