Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 62 Hello and Goodbye
Tang Zheng and Azhi were no strangers to Wufeng Tavern.
Because this was the inn where Tang Zheng and Tian Meng said goodbye, and it was also the place where Azhi watched Tang Zheng use the "Blood Jade Cup" to trick away the servants of Yinlan Mountain Villa.
"Would you like to have dinner? Please come in..." The servant at the door hurried over to greet Tang Zheng and Azhi as soon as he saw them.
"Yeah." Tang Zheng nodded, but paused at the door.
The noise in the tavern was endless.
Some were ordering wine, some were playing finger-guessing games, and from time to time you could hear the beautiful and melodious singing voices.
Ah Zhi looked at him for a long time and pulled him gently: "Hello?"
"Yes, come in, come in." Tang Zheng rubbed his ears and asked the waiter, "Are there any cubicles on the second floor facing the street?"
The waiter laughed twice: "Yes! Please go upstairs..."
The second floor had screens all around and was much quieter than the first floor. The waiter led them to a booth facing the street and sat them down, then brought up a menu for them to order.
Tang Zheng casually handed the menu to Ah Zhi: "Except for the wine, you can eat anything."
Ah Zhi snorted: "I started drinking when I was three years old..."
"I'm your teacher now, and that won't work with me." Tang Zheng directly put an end to his idea of drinking.
"Tsk." Ah Zhi glanced at him disdainfully, looked at the menu, and asked, "Except for wine, can we really eat anything?"
"Yeah." Tang Zheng's attention was no longer on Azhi.
In the next cubicle, waves of melodious little songs were sung softly and tenderly...
Seeing Tang Zheng listening attentively, Ah Zhi snorted again: "You are so rich, why don't you buy two?"
However, Tang Zheng didn't listen to what he said at all and continued to listen to the noise next door.
In a blink of an eye, Azhi had finished ordering the dishes.
The waiter standing nearby looked embarrassed: "Um...are you sure? Do you want all of these?"
White dragon mandarin fish, Eight Immortals Plate, Zhenlong Tofu, Splendid Seven Captures of the Sea, Mengliang One Needle Pine, Hundred Phoenix Cake, Imperial Concubine Pastry...
Azhi ordered more than twenty dishes in one go, and all of them were the most expensive on the menu!
The price of a table of dishes is three taels of purple gold. Even if the disciples of the clan come down the mountain, they don’t eat like this.
Seeing that the person who ordered the dishes was a child, the waiter had to "interrupt" Tang Zheng to listen to the ditty: "Well... a total of three taels of purple gold and twenty-two taels of liquid silver..."
Tang Zheng didn't look back and directly gave Xiao Er four purple gold Tongbao coins.
As soon as he saw the money, the waiter smiled: "Do you want me to call two girls for you? We are very familiar with Hong Gu in Wufeng Tavern. As long as you..."
Tang Zheng waved his hand: "No need." He glanced at Ah Zhi again and added, "Just pick two or three of the dishes that naughty kid ordered, and don't serve the rest."
"Ah?" The waiter looked at the purple gold Tongbao in his hand.
"Diligence and thrift are the traditional virtues of China... ahem, the Xingyao Continent. Two people cannot eat so much, so we must not waste food!" Tang Zheng waved his hand, indicating that he had no intention of taking back the purple gold Tongbao.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes..." The waiter ran downstairs in two jumps at a time .
When he went downstairs, he couldn't help but muttered a few words: "These days, rich people are so willful. They spend money to order a table of dishes, but they are not allowed to serve... They like to listen to songs, and they are not poor, but they don't call girls themselves, but they like to eavesdrop. Tsk, what a quirk..."
Tang Zheng's ears moved, and he was choked by the tea and started coughing.
…
The waiter was a rare conscientious person in Wulong Town. Although Tang Zheng said that two or three dishes would be enough, he still brought all the dishes.
Azhi buried his head in eating.
Anyway, he knew Tang Zheng was rich, and the dishes had been ordered, so it would be a waste if he didn't eat them.
However, as he was eating, he noticed that the ditty in the compartment had changed to a softer, thinner one, and he could clearly hear the conversation that had been buried under the ditty.
"Master Feng Le, as I just said, our young master is discussing this matter with you with full sincerity. The young master has been dissatisfied with the fact that Yinlan Villa sold the store to Tangjiabao for a long time. Even if you don't take action, the young master will do it..."
"Don't get me wrong. I, Feng Le, am not the kind of person who would stand by and watch when my friends are in trouble. However, I also have responsibilities to my clan. The matter you mentioned is of great importance. It will disrupt the balance of Wulong Town for decades. I must think it over carefully!"
"I know that this matter is of great importance, so the young master does not need Master Feng Le to make up his mind immediately. We have to wait until Tangjiabao has bought almost all the shops, and then test it out first. After the test is successful, we can start to wipe out Tangjiabao in one fell swoop..."
Azhi's eyes suddenly widened.
Yinlan Villa actually wants to wait until Tangjiabao buys the shop before catching them all in one fell swoop?
He stopped using the chopsticks in his hand and looked up at Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng smiled and made a "hush" gesture.
Next door, Feng Le seemed to hesitate for a moment: "I know that your young master is very opinionated. However, he and I are only two-star warriors, and you haven't even lit up your second life palace. Even with a three-star warrior Xu Qingyan, the combat power is definitely not enough!"
"Well, the young master has two two-star warriors around him, but Xu Qingyan is the only three-star warrior. Moreover, he is just a guest official and may not give his full strength. But this is exactly why the young master wants to share this pie with Master Feng Le..."
"Oh?" Feng Le smiled, "I understand. You want my brother to help you?"
"Haha... Young Master Feng Le and my young master are both young talents, but they are still young after all. If Young Master Feng Yuan can help..."
The little tune from the compartment was sung at a high pitch again, and Ah Zhi couldn't hear it clearly even when he got close to it.
However, Tang Zheng still found it very interesting.
"You..." Ah Zhi just opened his mouth and lowered his voice, tapping the bowl with his chopsticks, "How did you know they were here? Do you really have the ability to predict the future?"
"..." Tang Zheng looked at him speechlessly, "I thought you were pretending to be stupid, but it turns out you are really stupid!"
"Ah?" Ah Zhi blinked, and it took him ten breaths to react, "No! Are you scolding me?!"
At this time, Tang Zheng had already stood up and walked out.
Ah Zhi hurriedly followed, and saw that he went out and walked into the next cubicle after only two steps...
Eight eyes met.
quiet.
Feng Le subconsciously raised his chopsticks at first, but suddenly realized that this was inappropriate, so he put down his chopsticks and pointed at Tang Zheng: "You? You are not... the one from Jubao Pavilion..."
However, before he could finish his words, he realized that Tang Zheng's eyes were not on him at all.
Tang Zheng was looking at the young man from Yinlan Villa who was sitting at the same table with Fengle.
The young man pursed his lips and stared at Tang Zheng motionlessly.
Although he didn't say a word, the look in his eyes quickly changed from surprise to slight anger, and then from slight anger to determination within a few seconds. Tang Zheng saw it all clearly!
That’s right!
This was the reaction he wanted to see.
The large group of people at Yinlan Villa would not have such a reaction when they saw him. Only that small group of people - who knew that he was the one who destroyed the flower fields and had been looking for him tirelessly, and who after finding him did not hesitate to hire someone to kill him at Tangjiabao - would have the reaction he expected when they saw him.
"Hey, do you know me?" Tang Zheng raised his hand and greeted.
"..."The man from Yinlan Villa already had his hand on the sword.
"I made such a big fuss just to find a comrade from Yinlan Villa who knows me. It wasn't easy, but I finally found him." Tang Zheng put down his hand, "Hello... Goodbye."
After saying this, he turned around and left without stopping.
Almost the second step after leaving their compartment, he ran straight away, shouting to Ah Zhi: "Follow me!"
Without him saying anything, Ah Zhi simply used his star power to transform and followed with great speed.
In the compartment, Feng Le looked in the direction they left in confusion: "Lan Yanyi, this... do you know him?"
"There's no time to explain to him." The young man called "Lan Yanyi" was stunned for a moment, put down his chopsticks and ran out, "Chase! Hurry up!"
