Chapter 1268 The Fight Started
Can such an inconsiderate person really be an envoy? He Lingchuan looked at Sun Fuling, who winked at him, indicating that she didn't mind.
So He Lingchuan took the initiative to order a set of food for Xin Yi and asked for two pots of wine.
After Xin Yi tasted a bite of chicken, he closed his eyes for a while:
"I haven't tasted such a fat and sweet taste for a long time!"
He Lingchuan nibbled a bite of garlic: "Does the roasted chicken in the Shahe River Basin have no chicken taste?"
Xin Yi also learned from him to eat a bite of meat and a bite of garlic: "It's far from it! Just for this little chicken taste, I have to find someone to learn from me."
These few actions made He Lingchuan change his view of him greatly. I thought this guy was as elegant as Xu Shichu and Lu Xun, but I didn't expect that he could put down his airs and face in a second and get his fingers greasy.
"You have to offer the old man a high price that he can't refuse." He Lingchuan pointed to the back kitchen, "He has a secret recipe."
Sun Fuling interrupted: "May I ask how old Mr. Xin is?"
He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows, because the word "old" is usually used for people of a certain age.
Xin Yi gnawed the chicken and said: "Forty-eight!"
He Lingchuan was shocked. How can a forty-eight-year-old look so young? She is only a few years older than him?
"Is this a beauty-preserving technique?"
Xin Yi waved his hand: "It's just a family secret technique, plus the time of seclusion is too long."
He asked Sun Fuling in return: "How did Master Sun see it?"
Sun Fuling shook the wine in the glass lightly: "The eyes are different."
Men and women in their teens and twenties are full of vitality and sharpness, and their eyes are full of vigor.
When they reach their thirties and forties, their eyes naturally become more restrained and calm.
This kind of change and expression is natural and difficult to disguise.
Xin Yi looked at Sun Fuling with surprise: "Amazing, is the teacher also a hidden talent?"
"He is just a teacher in the market." Sun Fuling smiled, "After seeing the innocent eyes of children for a long time, you will know that they are completely different from adults."
He Lingchuan ate and chatted with the foreign envoy, and finally found out that he was the younger brother of the head of Hanyuan Mansion. He specialized in practicing the family secret method and closed himself off for fifteen years in a row. He did not come out of the closed-off world until two years ago.
Not long after, he received the task of replacing Lu Xun and going to Panlong City. However, he was only responsible for transmitting messages between Lingshan and Panlong City, and did not interfere in other matters.
He Lingchuan also knew that someone else was mainly responsible for bilateral contacts.
At this time, there were no other customers in the store, so He Lingchuan asked in detail about the situation of Hanyuan Mansion, such as how big the family's territory was, what industry they made a living from, how they usually interacted with Lingshan, what anecdotes were there in the territory, and so on.
The interrogation was so detailed that even Sun Fuling looked at him frequently.
Xin Yi answered them one by one in a good-tempered manner, but was also surprised: "I didn't expect Brother He to be so interested in my family."
"Curious." He Lingchuan smiled, "The surname 'Xin' is not common, and I think you are the only one I know."
Xin Yi also asked about the past battles in Panlong City, especially: "I heard that Beijia demon general Fu Shanlie attacked Yuheng City, but was completely defeated by General He. Since the real boss is here, can you tell me in detail?"
"It was just a risky move." He Lingchuan briefly described the battle that day.
After listening, Xin Yi said: "Is this the first time that Panlong City has defeated Beijia's generals head-on? They will not give up."
"Beijia is indeed angry." Since the battle of Yuheng City, Beijia's attention to Panlong City has increased, and the progress of the war seems to be faster than history.
"Beijia's layout is usually very long-term, and when a hair is pulled, the whole body is mobilized; Fu Shanlie is a newly rising star, and his fighting style is also very novel. General He's victory in Yuheng City this time is not simple behind the scenes."
He Lingchuan was slightly frightened. When he was in charge of Yuheng City, the strategies he adopted against Longchuan bandits and Fushan Lie were very detailed. Even if bystanders could obtain information, it was difficult to summarize and refine them.
Not to mention the stranger in front of him, even the soldiers and civilians of Yuheng City who had witnessed the whole process did not know what the commander-in-chief did at that time and which ones really worked.
Xin Yi was able to tell the way, not because of his in-depth study of He Lingchuan's strategy, but because of his understanding of Beijia.
He could also draw the correct conclusion from Beijia's perspective.
At this time, there was a flapping sound outside.
The three looked up and saw the red falcon landing on the window and speaking to He Lingchuan:
"Someone is making trouble at Shuanghe Tavern. Menban asked me to inform the general."
"Who?" It is not uncommon for taverns to make trouble. After drinking, there are thousands of people and different behaviors. The problem is, why would Menban use such a trivial matter to trouble his superiors?
"The soldiers under Menban and the people from the east."
East? He Lingchuan glanced at Xin Yi after hearing this: "How many people are there?"
"Seventeen or eighteen on each side." Hongshun said, "The cause was that the people from the east were drinking and making noises, and two soldiers under Menban went to stop them, but they cursed... well, they said there were too many rules here, and the two sides talked and got into a fight."
He Lingchuan and Sun Fuling looked at each other and understood.
What did they curse? The other party probably cursed.
The rules of Panlong City are strict, and there are hundreds of rules that are not allowed. And this is the result of a major adjustment after opening up to the outside world, otherwise, if you just picked fruits on the roadside, you would be punished.
The citizens of the city have long been accustomed to it. But such strict rules are definitely not suitable for newcomers, and they will break the law if they are not careful. It's okay at ordinary times, but when they drink too much and talk without restraint, it's easy to cause trouble.
"More and more people from both sides are getting involved, and Menban rushed over to see it, so he asked me to come to you."
When it comes to people coming from Lingshan, Menpan can't make up his mind, so he can only report it to his superiors.
Xin Yi interjected from the side: "Which side is seriously injured?"
He Lingchuan glanced at him, this man had a strong desire to win.
Kestrel fluttered his feathers, ignored him, and only reported to He Lingchuan: "After they smashed four or five tables, they rushed to the martial arts hall, saying that the fight should not be in vain, and the winner should be decided on the ring."
No wonder the door panel must report: "Who made this suggestion?"
Private fighting is strictly prohibited in Panlong City, but if you really want to fight, you can resolve conflicts through the official arena. This method is usually not clear to outsiders who have just arrived, and only locals will do it.
"Door panel. He said that it can't be stopped anyway, so it's better to clear the door than to block it. By the way, the loser has to compensate for the loss of the restaurant."
He Lingchuan smiled: "Having been with Liu Tiao for a long time, he has become smarter."
As soon as his eyes moved, Sun Fuling knew what he meant and immediately stood up and said, "I'm full. There are classes in the academy in the afternoon. I'll go first."
After saying that, she nodded goodbye to Xin Yi and turned to leave.
He Lingchuan threw some broken silver on the table. As soon as he stood up, Xin Yi said: "I heard about Yuewu Hall when I first arrived in Panlong City. General He took me to open my eyes."
Of course He Lingchuan would not refuse:
"plz follow me."
