Chapter 44
Shen Qiao: "Can the other party report his name?"
Daotong: "No, go out and have a look!"
He grew up in a Taoist temple since he was a child, and he had never seen such a battle.
Shen Qiao walked to the door, and sure enough, he saw several carriages parked there, and several boxes were removed from the carriages.
The head of the man dressed as a servant, but it was not an ordinary servant. Judging from the appearance and clothes, at least it should be a servant who was listening to the messenger next to the master.
When the other party saw Shen Qiao coming out, he took a step forward, but did not approach: "Dare to ask if it is Shen Qiao?"
Shen Qiao: "Not bad."
The other party: "I am here under the order of the Pengcheng county magistrate to come and give gifts."
In fact, Shen Qiao already knew it in his heart, but he asked, "I don't know who the county magistrate of Pengcheng is."
The other party was displeased, and instead of answering, he replied, "Pengcheng county magistrate said that you are kind to him, and the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, so he ordered someone to bring gifts, and asked the son to laugh at him."
Before Shen Qiao could speak, he clapped his hands and said to the driver and attendant, "Open the box."
At this time, Bailongguan Guanzhu hurried out to greet Xiaodaotong, and before he could say hello to Shen Qiao, he was first attracted by the box that was being opened.
But they screamed right away!
The sound is not amazement, but incredible.
Just because the box is not filled with gold and silver treasures, silk and satin, but full of donkey meat sandwiches.
As soon as the box was opened, the aroma of hot donkey meat wafted into the nostrils, and the spectator and the two little road boys couldn't help swallowing.
The other party showed disdain and said with a sneer: "Pengcheng county magistrate asked the villain to tell him that he received a few biscuits from you that day, and now he has doubled it back. I don't know if these boxes are enough. If it is not enough, the villain will send a few more boxes. !"
Shen Qiao didn't feel anger or panic, but smiled: "Enough, I'm worried that there is no fire in the Taoist temple, and I don't know how to solve the dinner. Thanks to your master for the timely rain, the food for the past two days is finally available."
The servant Xu did not expect that Shen Qiao would react in this way. After a slight stun, the contempt on his face became stronger. Obviously, he felt that Shen Qiao was too good to pass up, and his master used this method to repay his gratitude, which must be the reason why this person had offended him.
Thinking like this, he didn't take Shen Qiao seriously, nodded and said, "The little man will go back to his life."
He made a gesture, and immediately dumped the donkey patties from the box.
The Guanzhu and the Taoist boy were in a hurry: "What are you doing! All the pancakes are dirty!"
The attendant laughed: "The master said to send the cake, but he didn't say to send the box together!"
The donkey meat pie was dumped on the ground, the juice overflowed, and the aroma quickly attracted mosquitoes, buzzing around the pie. Angrily, he didn't dare to speak, and looked at the pancakes with pity on his face.
The smile on Shen Qiao's face finally disappeared, and her face sank slightly.
When Chen Gong was in the ruined temple, he couldn't even eat a sandwich. When he could eat a hot meal, he was elated and elated, but now he can do this kind of thing for his own anger. don't know if it's because of power. Wealth and honor really attract people's eyes, but the environment can easily change a person's mind.
"stop."
The attendant Shi Shiran stopped and turned back: "What do you think, Young Master?"
Shen Qiao: "Eat these sandwiches before you leave."
The attendant laughed: "Young master is joking, this was originally given to the master by the master, how can we eat it, the master is slow to use it!"
He turned and didn't take a few steps before his smug smile turned into panic.
Because of the unbearable pain in his wrist.
And Shen Qiao, who was originally ten steps away from him, didn't know when he was close to him.
The attendant's face was full of pain: "Let go... let go!"
Shen Qiao said solemnly: "God bestows the five grains, which is the most precious thing. There are still many people outside the city who can't eat. Please eat these sandwiches before leaving."
The attendant was frightened and angry: "Why, do you know who we are! Pengcheng county magistrate is the most favored by His Majesty..."
Shen Qiao's face was light: "I don't know any Pengcheng county magistrate. If you don't want to eat it, don't even want to leave today."
It seems that some people do not believe in evil. Shen Qiao just finished speaking when a driver turned around and ran. Before taking three steps, the whole person suddenly fell forward and couldn't move.
Shen Qiao: "Do you want to eat?"
Attendant: "Shen Qiao, don't regret it, if you dare to humiliate me, the master will give it back a hundred times a thousand times!"
Shen Qiao: "Do you want to eat?"
Attendant: "You dare not...ah!!!"
He screamed in agony, and Se Li Neen instantly turned into pain. It turned out that Shen Qiao was holding his wrist. don't know what method he used. It was obvious that the other party's wrist was not broken or injured, but he already showed an unbearable look on his face. My heart is cold.
Shen Qiao: "Do you want to eat?"
His tone was still calm, but his eyes turned from the attendant to everyone present.
Those who were swept by his gaze all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him.
At this moment, where did the attendant dare to be arrogant, his tone changed greatly, and he trembled and said: "You teach the young master to know that the master only asked us to bring the biscuits, and did not let the villain pour out the biscuits, it is the villain. , it is the villain who makes his own decisions, please forgive me, sir, you have a lot, don't care about the villain!"
Shen Qiao said: "If you don't want me to care about it, just eat all the cakes. Otherwise, if I ask your master to settle the account, your master will inevitably turn the fire on you when you come back. You can think about it yourself."
The attendant wanted to cry but had no tears, so he had to lie on the ground and pick up the biscuits to eat.
Those sandwiches were already half-cold on the ground, and the entrance was still mixed with sand and gravel, and since this attendant had followed Chen Gong, the food was better than the average wealthy family, where have encountered such a kind of food that even the dogs in the house do not eat. When took a bite of the food, tears were about to come down, but Shen Qiao was still staring at him, he could only swallow it in one gulp, his expression was like swallowing.
Seeing that the others in his peers were still staring at him, he couldn't help shouting, "Don't come and help me eat!"
Everyone was reluctant, because this servant was very useful in front of the master, so they had to squat down and pick up the sandwiches to eat.
Since he became the new favorite of the emperor, the county magistrate of Pengcheng has been in the limelight for a while, and even the masters of this Taoist temple have heard of it.
The little Daotong tugged at the corner of the Guanzhu's clothes and whispered: "Master, if that county magistrate comes back to settle accounts, will we be implicated?"
The spectator turned his head and lowered his voice: "Shut up, haven't you seen other people's martial arts?"
Shen Qiao heard it, but pretended not to hear it. Those people ate more than a dozen cakes, and they all cried and said that they really couldn't eat any more, and asked Shen Qiao to let them go.
However, there are at least dozens of cakes on the ground, Shen Qiao shook his head: "Even if you take it back, you must have thrown it away on the way back. You must finish it here, or you won't want to leave."
The attendant was trembling: "Master, the master is still waiting for the villain to return to his life!"
Shen Qiao: "If he can't wait for you, he will naturally send someone over. Then, won't someone help you eat?"
The attendant dared not say a word, and began to bury his head and eat hard.
From the evening until night fell, more than a dozen people devoured and devoured Haisai. At the end of the meal, their belly was round and their faces turned earthy, and Shen Qiao told them to stop.
If everyone was granted amnesty, they almost couldn't even straighten their waists, so they could only help each other, and respectfully came over to plead guilty to Shen Qiao.
Shen Qiao said: "Go back and tell your masters, I'm just passing by here to rest, I won't stay for a long time, I'll be leaving tomorrow, you don't have to think about embarrassing the master."
The attendant smiled and said, "Young Master Shen is joking, how dare we?"
In fact, if it wasn't for Shen Qiao's explanation, he would have had this plan.
Shen Qiao didn't say anything, just let them go.
Seeing those evil stars walking away, the spectator lord stepped forward and sighed: "Langjun, you have caused us a lot of trouble for Taoist temples. We used to live in seclusion and never cause trouble, but now the disaster is coming from the sky, this is the Who provoked whom?"
Shen Qiao apologized: "You don't have to worry, this matter has nothing to do with you. Tomorrow I will personally go to that person to clarify, and they will not come to you again."
The spectator is still a little unhappy: "It's better to be like this!"
Shen Qiao took out a few copper coins from his sleeve and handed them to him: "I've caused trouble for a few of you. I don't have much money on me. A little thought is considered sesame oil money. I wonder if it's enough?"
The look on the master's face was a little brighter now, he looked at the two little apprentices who were also looking at him, coughed lightly, rolled up his sleeves, and rolled the copper coins into his hands: "Just do it, the night is cold and heavy. , please go inside and rest."
Shen Qiao smiled and went in with them.
The two little Daotong originally thought that there were donkey meat sandwiches to eat, but who knew that after a lot of tossing, the cake was not eaten. Instead, they watched a good show. The spectator was thinking about offending people, but the little Daotong was very excited. Especially the Taoist boy who was lazily entertaining Shen Qiao, his attitude also changed at this time, and his eyes were almost shining.
"Shen Langjun, do you know what the other party's background is? That's the Pengcheng county magistrate, the emperor's new favorite minister. I heard that the emperor was willing to do it for him..."
The unfinished words disappeared in the pain of the spectator's slap on the back of his head.
"You can say anything at such a young age!" The Guanzhu scolded.
Daotong held his head in grievance and was very unconvinced: "That's not what you told us!"
The watcher rolled his eyes at him: "Why don't you cook soon, your master, I'm going to starve to death!"
Daotong: "Didn't you say you won't eat at noon?"
Guanzhu: "I usually live quietly with the door closed. Of course, two meals are enough. Today, I was dragged into the water, and I was so hungry. If you don't eat it yourself, don't you think about Master!"
Daotong muttered: "I've heard of people who are full of anger, but I haven't heard of people who are angry and hungry."
Guan Zhu was about to fight, and he hurriedly said, "I'm going to cook!"
"Unworthy!" The Guanzhu was not angry, and touched the head of another Taoist boy: "The first day of the first year is a fool all day long, but the fifteenth you are the best."
Fifteen smiled shyly, looked up and asked Shen Qiao: "Shen Langjun, I don't think there are many ingredients, so I can only make some casually. Please bear with me. Do you want to eat noodles or rice?"
The spectator turned pale in shock: "You unfortunate child, your tail cocked up as soon as you praised you! That flour is going to be saved for the Chinese New Year!"
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he knew that he had slipped the tongue, so he quickly looked back at Shen Qiao and shut up embarrassingly.
Fifteen smiled and said: "Shen Langjun is a guest, and Master often teaches us to be polite. I'm going to help Senior Brother!"
After saying that, without waiting for the spectator to answer, he also ran away.
"Unfortunate child!" The spectator couldn't help but muttered, thinking that today is really bad luck, not only can't eat donkey meat sandwiches, but even the last bit of flour will be swept away.
Shen Yan seemed to know his mind, and took out a few copper coins from his sleeves, and smiled and handed it over: "Let you spend it, it is really unhappy!"
"Hey, I don't mean that!" After all, the Lord did not accept it, but pushed it back. He was close to Shen Yan, so he found that his eyes were a little weird, "Your eyes ...?"
Shen Yan: "Originally old disease, it would be better during the day, and it would not be clear at night."
Obimizing the Lord: "It's a pity!"
He didn't turn around on his eyes: "Then, why did Lang Jun offend Pengcheng County?"
Shen Yan met himself with Chen Gong in Yu Hanwei, and briefly said all the way. The Lord heard that Chen Gong took Mu Ti Po to go back to find Shen Yan, and when he was intended Hold back and scolded: "Envoving revenge, shamelessness!"
Thinking about the scene that only found, he sighed: "Shen Langjun goes to someone, he must be prepared. At first glance, the servant is the flow of villains. Even more dissatisfied with you. "
Shen Yan: "Thank you for reminding the Lord. There is one thing that I want to ask about the Lord. I do nāt know that the Lord has met a party in recent days. Two of them, most of them are young men and women. Maybe there is no, but there should be a saber. "
Although he had previously asked Xiao Dao, he was still a bit unwilling after all, and wanted to confirm it again.
Watching the Lord thought about it, shook his head: "No, the wind of the Taoism in the city is not strong, there are many monks temples, Taoist priests, there are no more Taoist outlooks except for our white dragon view. In the Taoist concept, the desire will also come to Bailong Guan. If you are not in the Bailong View, you will definitely not go to other Taoist views. People are not such a law. If the other party deliberately hides the whereabouts, and if you do nāt enter the city, you will easily miss it with you. Besides, can you be sure that they did go north during this time? "
Shen Yan smiled bitterly: "To say yes, I just hold a line of hope."
During the talk, a little Tao Tong's shouting came from the stove room: "Master, Shen Langjun, open meals!"
Watching the Lord a few steps, I remembered that there was still a sink next to him, hurriedly stopped, and smiled embarrassingly: "Go for a walk, go with meals!"
No matter how simple dinner is, the ready -made flour and water are rolled as noodles, and there are no oil stars, let alone put the meat slices, dried white jade noodles sprinkled with chopped wild vegetables, and then mixed with homemade sauce radish It is enough to make the Observatory and the two trail children shine.
The Lord swallowed his mouth and said to the apprentice: "Give the guests first."
"Yes, Master." The little apprentice was also sincere, and directly gave Shen Yan a bowl of noodles, connected with sauce radish and wild vegetables, and piled up. : "Okay, it's okay, and the guests can't finish it again!"
Shen Yan smiled and attached to peace: "Yes, less, don't be too much!"
As you push me, the door of the temple came out again. In the silence night, it was extremely clear and obtrusive, and it was unable to bear it.
Two small children looked at each other: "Why are there guests so late?"
"Shouldn't it be the trouble for someone to come back?"
"Master, do we want to listen to it?"
The Lord was a little bit embarrassed: "If you don't wait, maybe he will not knock for a while?"
The eldest apprentice suspected: "No, Master, if they come back to find the fault, I am afraid that I will not directly come in, and I have to turn the door to the sky. How can I keep it like this? ? "
Viewing the Lord said: "You can say something less, let you learn something, and go under the bridge to listen to people and talk about those absurd monsters. Woolen cloth!"
Shen Yan said: "Let me go, you eat first, don't worry."
The Lord also followed: "Hey, your eyes are inconvenient ..."
Shen Yan pressed his shoulder: "If you don't tighten, I get used to it, you can distinguish, you borrow a lamp."
The apprentice came up with a lantern, and the Lord sat down, the noodles were almost cold, and he was politely on his mouth: "Then be careful, call for life loudly!"
Shen Yan: "Okay, you eat first."
He walked out with the lantern. The Bailong Guan was very large. He could still feel the size of the past, but it was years old and was already diluing. Walking between Taoism will inevitably feel sighing.
Shen Yan also thought that Chen Gong had sent someone to trouble again. Who knew that the people were driving, the outside was dark, there was no hustle and bustle, but the only person stood there with his hands, and his body was familiar.
He didn't have to raise the lantern deliberately, and he could guess the identity of the person. He was surprised, and he couldn't help but bring it out: "Sect Yan?"
Yan Wushi: "Why, unhappy to see me?"
Under the moon night, with the Shen Yan of the lantern, a sincere welcome smile: "Of course not, please come in, do you use meals?"
Yan Wushi didn't want to answer such an ordinary and boring question. Somehow, when he came to his mouth, it became: "No."
Shen Yan laughed: "That's right, come in, watch the Lord, they are cooking noodles!"
Previously, he could also see about it during the day, but in the night, the worse his eyes, and the lantern could not be seen clearly. In addition, the road of Taoism was not familiar. A moment, the whole person almost poured forward.
A master of martial arts who could kill Huoxi Jing and repelled Duan Wenyu, was tripped by the stone steps, saying that he would be afraid to make people laugh.
Fortunately, one hand suddenly stretched out, just to hold his waist and hold the person.
"Your footsteps are a little anxious, not like you." Yan Wushi said.
Shen Yan pouted and smiled, didn't speak, just said, "The noodles are getting cold, you have not eaten yet, just go faster."
Who knew that he took Yan Wushi back to the stove room, but the Lord just sucked the last noodle into his mouth, and he regretted his belly and gently gone: "Shen Langjun, you are late, the noodles are gone. "
Shen Yan introduced them: "This is my friend, surnamed Yan."
The apprentice stood up: "Shen Langjun, I left a bowl for you, you can eat with Yan Langjun."
The Lord looked at him with a whitening: "You are so much!"
Seeing Yan Wushi standing behind Shen Yan, the Observation Lord originally had "one another, but only a bowl of a bowl", and swallowed it again. The majesty, even starting to sit up restless, had to get up and throw a sentence "Then you eat slowly", and quickly walked away.
The apprentice has never eaten noodles since the morning, and looked at Yan Wushi embarrassed: "There is only one bowl."
The noodles are already a little confused. This kind of food is asking Yan Wushi to eat, and Yan Wushi may not be willing to eat.
But for Bai Long's audience, it has treasured rations for several months. They even intend to eat the New Year, but they were taken out in advance because of Shen Yan's arrival.
Shen Yan thanked Xiaodao Tong, and said to Yan Wu teacher: "I will give it to you?"
Yan Wushi: "No."
Shen Yan laughed: "Although the noodles are a bit cold, their sauce radish is very good, you might as well taste it."
He knew that the other party had always loved cleanliness, so he washed the chopsticks first, and then covered the sauce and carrots in the bowl. The bowl of paste and dry noodles dried the sauce and started eating.
Yan Wushi frowned and looked at the half bowl of wild vegetables and sauce carrots in front of him. After a long time, he picked up his chopsticks and barely tasted it.
The taste of the entrance is actually not so unpredictable.
"Is the matter of the Lord Yan finished?" Shen Yan asked.
"Not yet." Yan Wushi just said one sentence. Whether a person saw it, how could he do it, he didn't say much, and Shen Yan didn't ask anymore.
Who knows that Yan Wushi talked: "You just saw me come, is it very happy?"
Shen Yan froze slightly and nodded and laughed: "Yes, I thought you and I parted ways, perhaps it would be a long time to meet again. I didn't expect to see you so soon. Isn't it a happy thing?"
"Only then did I listen to you and said to them, saying that I am your friend?" Yan Wushi Mo Mo's soup bowl was exposed on his face.
The workmanship of this kind of soup bowl is very rough, because it has been used for a long time, leaving a thick layer of dirt on it, which cannot be washed off no matter how much you wash it.
Shen Qiao: "Yes, it's always more convenient to say friends when you go out, and I'm not afraid of them asking more."
Yan Wushi looked at him: "What about you, in your heart, you also regard this seat as a friend?"
Shen Qiao: "Students are friends, comrades are friends. Although Sect Master Yan and I are neither the same teacher nor comrade, but you have saved my life, we have a deep relationship with each other, and we have been on the same road for a long time, how can we be called Just a friend."
Yan Wushi: "Aren't you afraid that others will say that you are attached to the devil and you are willing to fall?"
Shen Qiao smiled: "It's enough for me to understand what I'm doing, why should I care about what others think? After going down the mountain, what I saw and heard made me feel a lot, and it made me understand that in the past, I stuck to the mountain to cultivate Taoism, It's just a small way, like Sect Master Yan, who assists the Zhou lord, if he can really unify the world, Yu Nei clarifies, the people don't have to be displaced, change children to eat, as long as they have hands and feet, they can rely on labor to get paid, this is the real Dao stop."
Yan Wushi said: "You don't have to put a high hat on this seat, Yu Wenyong and I are just taking what we need, and what I do is only because I want to do it, never for the sake of others. ."
Shen Qiao: "Even if you have malicious intentions, if you can achieve good results, you can be considered Tao, right?"
Yan Wushi fixedly looked at him for a moment, then said for a long time, "So, we are friends?"
Shen Qiao nodded with a smile: "Sect Master Ruoyan doesn't dislike my words."
That strange look flashed across his face, and before Shen Qiao could see it clearly, Yan Wushi resumed his casual and lazy manner: "This Taoist temple is really simple, how can there be a place to stay?"
Shen Qiao smiled and said, "Then I can only temporarily grieve you in the same room as me."
