Taifenglou, a century-old restaurant in Luteng City.
It is famous for its roast goose, crispy pigeon and Huadiao wine.
At the end of the dynasty, this was just a push-pull roadside stall. The owner roasted roast goose and crispy pigeon at home every day, hung them on the cart and sold them. He also sold his homemade Huadiao wine in bamboo tubes.
After a hundred years of development, the cart has long since turned into a five-story restaurant, with the first and second floors being the halls, the third and fourth floors being the private rooms, and the fifth floor being reserved for special guests or on special days.
For example, today.
A red sign was placed in front of the restaurant.
'We have a distinguished guest today, so we will be closed for a day.'
The boss of Taifenglou, who usually does not show up, stood in front of the door with several shopkeepers to apologize to the guests who came with high hopes but left disappointed, and presented them with gifts - a crispy pigeon, two taels of Huadiao wine and four snacks.
The guests, who were a little depressed at first, immediately became delighted after receiving the gifts.
People are always happy about getting things for free.
Of course, there are always some people who take advantage of the situation.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work for Taifeng Building.
Because these people are not guests of Taifenglou at all.
As early as three years ago, Taifenglou changed to a membership system.
Only accepting our own members.
That is to say, only registered members can get the gifts.
"Boss, how about you go inside and wait? The weather is too hot."
The chief shopkeeper said to the middle-aged man beside him.
The middle-aged man was dressed in casual clothes, wearing black-framed glasses and had an elegant face. After hearing such words, he waved his hand.
"He is a distinguished guest, and must be welcomed."
The owner of Taifeng Building smiled and waved his hand.
The shopkeepers stopped trying to persuade him, but they couldn't help but become curious in their hearts.
Who is this distinguished guest?
You know, the boss is usually hard to find, let alone being here to welcome guests with them.
Time passes by every second.
At a quarter before noon, a man and a woman came hand in hand.
The man has a handsome face and a straight demeanor.
The woman had a cold face and a knife at her waist.
The moment they saw the man, several shopkeepers suddenly understood.
It turns out to be this person!
Descendant of the 'Martial Saint'!
The recently famous "Flame Demon" and "Thor" Goethe.
If it's this person, then it really should be.
They had all heard about what happened in Quan Gym Lane a few days ago.
The famous 'Qishashtang' was destroyed by this person.
Killing is not the only way to solve the problem.
But it is definitely the most direct means.
The resulting 'fame' also has an immediate effect.
"The presence of distinguished guests brings glory to our humble home."
The owner of Taifeng Building walked down the stairs with a smile on his face and came to greet him.
"Thank you for being so polite, sir. Sorry to bother you."
Goethe also smiled and bowed in return.
The boss of Taifeng Tower is not a "knight" in the true sense, but a disciple of the master of the "Three Cups of Promise", one of the twenty-four knight seals.
"Three Cups of Wine Will Bring You a Promise" and "Five Mountains Are Light" are the two poems that invited him to Taifeng Tower.
Last night, while discussing the infinite mysteries of yin and yang in life with the female swordsman, Goethe told her in detail everything she knew about the 'knight'.
Because of the battle thirty years ago, the "Xia Ke" is no longer in its heyday.
Except for the five seal masters of 'Depart after mission accomplished', 'Hide one's merit and fame', 'Save Zhao with the golden hammer', 'Two heroes of the ages' and 'Taixuan Sutra in white', all the seal masters died in battle.
The five seal masters who survived were also seriously injured.
According to rumors, 'Baishou Taixuanjing' was seriously injured to the point where he lost all his martial arts skills.
It is also because of this that the "knights" went from being in the light to being in the dark, and from being concentrated to being dispersed.
Even if he is a direct disciple, it is very likely that he does not know the true identity of the Seal Master.
However, the boss of Taifenglou is obviously not one of them.
As a disciple of the seal master of 'Three Cups of Turyanuo', the boss of Taifeng Tower not only inherited the true teachings of the seal master, but will also inherit the position of seal master from his master one day in the future.
Therefore, the boss of Taifeng Building became more polite to Goethe and the female swordsman.
For businessmen, harmony brings wealth.
Even though he tries to avoid being in the spotlight, some habits of this boss have become natural.
"Please, move up."
The owner of Taifeng Building turned around and raised his hand to signal.
"Thank you for your good words."
Goethe bowed again, walked up the stairs side by side with the female swordsman, and entered Taifeng Building.
The boss and several shopkeepers did not follow him, but closed the door and waited quietly outside.
Walk through the hall and go upstairs.
A strong aroma of wine wafts into my nose.
Different from ordinary Huadiao wine.
This wine tastes even sweeter.
And mellow.
There was also the delicious smell of meat, the perfect balance of charcoal and fat, and the taste made Goethe's eyes light up. He instinctively quickened his pace.
When I went up to the fifth floor, the door of the box was not closed.
There were two people sitting on a huge round table, one on the left and one on the right.
Both of them had gray hair, bare breasts, and held wine in one hand and meat in the other.
The wine is naturally aged Huadiao.
The meat is of course Tai Fung House’s roast goose.
The two men were eating with their mouths full of oil. When they saw Goethe and the female swordsman coming up, the old man on the left raised his hand.
"please."
Goethe was not polite in response to the invitation. He pulled the female swordsman to sit aside, raised his hand, grabbed a roast goose and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
The roast goose was not cut into pieces and served on the plate, but was served whole.
The color is golden red with a hint of translucency.
And this is——
crisp!
Crunch!
The moment Goethe put the roast goose into his mouth, the crispness of the skin resonated with his tongue and brain, and the tenderness of the meat made his stomach and intestines vibrate.
There were constant crisp sounds and juice splashing everywhere.
Compared with the two previous ones who were casual, Goethe seemed more rough.
because……
Goethe eats fast.
He opened his mouth, stuffed the food with skin, meat and bones into his mouth, and started chewing.
A roast goose can be eaten cleanly in five or six bites.
There are five roast geese on the table.
Before Goethe came, the two seal owners of "Three Cups of Promise" and "Five Mountains Are Light" each held one and ate it. When Goethe came, they swallowed two in the blink of an eye, and then the three of them grabbed the last roast goose at the same time.
The two seal masters of 'Three Cups of Promise' and 'Five Mountains Are Light' are extremely fast and well coordinated.
One of them raised his hand and grabbed the roast goose lightly and nimbly.
One man raised his hand to intercept Goethe, his breath was strong.
When the two auras blend, the former becomes more agile like a dancing crane, and the latter becomes more powerful like an unshakable mountain.
The two men were very confident and thought the roast goose must be theirs.
But the next moment, their expressions changed.
The intercepting finger touched Goethe's wrist and retracted as if it had been electrocuted. Suddenly, the mountain collapsed.
The man who was trying to grab the roast goose was extremely fast, but Goethe was even faster, making the opponent's agility slow to a crawl.
"You're welcome, both of you."
As Goethe said this, he tore off a goose leg and placed it in front of the female swordsman, then he held the roast goose and began to eat it in big mouthfuls.
“The Yangtze River’s waves behind push the waves ahead, and the waves ahead die on the beach.”
The owner of the 'Three Cups of Turyanuo' seal, who raised his hand to grab the roast goose, sighed.
The master of the 'Five Mountains are nothing' seal who was blocking Goethe shook his numb wrist and snorted coldly.
"pity……"
"Evil intentions!"
There was a strong sense of disdain in the drawn-out tone.
This made the female swordsman who was about to eat the goose leg raise her head.
She stared at the master of the 'Five Mountains Are Light' seal, her hand already on the hilt of the knife - yesterday's 'Blood Splattered Five-Step Post', today's verbal insults, she believed that the other party must give her an explanation.
“Don’t look at me!
Look, I said so too!
He is not a descendant of the 'Martial Saint' at all, he is a fake! "
"The Five Mountains are nothing compared to this," the seal master said simply in response to the female swordsman's gaze.
The female swordsman was stunned.
Fake descendant of the "Martial Saint".
Involuntarily, the female swordsman looked at Goethe.
Goethe was still gnawing on the roast goose, as if he had not heard the words of the seal master 'Five Mountains are nothing' at all. The female swordsman took a deep breath and looked at the seal master again.
"Where's the evidence?"
The female swordsman asked.
"It was His Excellency Baishou who informed us.
Mr. Baishou's "pre-natal divination" will never be wrong."
"The Five Mountains are nothing compared to this," the seal master said directly.
The female swordsman's body trembled.
Mr. Baishou is the seal owner of the Baishou Taixuan Sutra.
Not only was he the only remaining seal master of the five thirty years ago, but he was also the core figure who led the "Xia Ke" to rise again in the past thirty years. It can be said that without him, the "Xia Ke" would have been finished long ago.
Therefore, the other party holds a very important position in the hearts of other seal owners of "Xia Ke".
Female swordsmen are no exception.
but!
Goethe carries more weight!
"impossible.
There must be a misunderstanding!"
The female swordsman persisted.
And, wanting to say more, he was stopped by Goethe.
Goethe picked up the warm towel beside him and wiped his hands and mouth. He raised his hand to signal the female swordsman not to speak, and glanced at "Three Cups of Wine to Make a Promise" and "Five Mountains Are Nothing" with an indifferent look.
The two seal masters looked at Goethe without fear.
Then, Goethe's eyes fell on the wine gourds the two men placed on the table.
The two wine gourds are made of wood, but they are crystal clear. It is obvious that the owner loves them very much. He plays with them every day, and they have long been covered with patina. The rich aroma of wine is all around.
Especially the gourd plug.
One is jadeite.
One is white jade.
It looks like it's going to be expensive.
"Why are you pouring wine from my wine gourd?"
Goethe suddenly spoke.
The two seal masters of 'Three Cups of Wine Will Make You Promise' and 'Five Mountains Are Nothing' were stunned.
It was an almost instinctive retort.
"What do you mean your gourd? It's obviously ours."
"oh?"
"Any evidence?"
Goethe asked rhetorically.
"Of course, my friend and I's names are on this gourd!"
The owner of the seal "Three Cups of Turranuo" picked up his gourd and saw a name "Zhang Dongsheng" written on the base of the gourd.
The owner of the seal 'Five Mountains are Light' also picked up his gourd, and on the base of the gourd was also written a name 'Li Xiluo'.
"drink!"
Goethe suddenly shouted in a low voice, which startled the two seal owners of "Three Cups of Wine Will Make You Promise" and "Five Mountains Are Nothing".
Under the vigilant gaze of the two seal masters, Goethe shouted angrily:
"Why do you carve your name on my gourd?"
"you?!
You are making up stories!"
"The Five Mountains are nothing compared to this!" The seal master was so angry that he stood up.
The sound was extremely high, like a roar.
But at this time, Goethe became indifferent again.
"You won't argue anymore?"
Goethe asked back softly.
'Three cups of wine will bring a promise' The seal master frowned and thought.
"The Five Mountains are nothing compared to them." The seal master wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it at all.
Goethe's voice continued.
“I am also proficient in divination.
Therefore, I know very clearly that no matter what kind of divination method is used, it cannot be 100% accurate!
In fact, more often than not, a small mistake can lead to a huge error!
if!
I said that if, that gentleman "White Head" really had the right "foretelling", there wouldn't have been so many unnecessary casualties in the thirty years of fighting.
What do you two think? "
Goethe's voice turned colder and his tone became more aggressive.
He had never seen the seal owner of "Baishou Taixuan Jing".
However, it is obvious that the other party has no good intentions.
As for what the starting point is?
Goethe didn't know.
I don't want to know.
He only knew that if he was an enemy, he had to kill him.
Faced with Goethe's words, the two seal owners of 'Three cups of wine will make you promise' and 'Five mountains are nothing' were even more unable to answer.
If so, it proves that Mr. Baishou's "pre-natal divination" is not accurate.
But if you say no, it would further prove it's wrong.
Yes and that’s not possible.
No, that won't work either.
The two seal masters were in a dilemma for a while.
Looking at the two people in dilemma, Goethe smiled in his heart.
He likes people who really speak reasonable words.
Because, even if you are sophistry.
As long as you have a point, the other party will not take action.
How would you describe it in the language of your hometown?
Oh, right.
'A gentleman can be deceived by tricks'!
However, not everyone can do this.
Even if they are both "knights", there are differences between them.
"Sharp-tongued!
Look at the sword! "
After a low shout, a figure walked in from outside the box. After confirming that Goethe heard his words, he drew his sword and stabbed.
It looked like a surprise attack, but in fact it was a strict observance of etiquette.
And this sword move is very straightforward, without any other changes.
In its ancient and crude style, there is a spirit of preferring to break rather than bend.
Master's sword!
The swordsmanship of the master of the 'Thousand Miles Without Stopping' seal does not focus on lightness, agility and change, but is straight forward like a spear, using momentum to overwhelm the opponent. With one sword strike, people often lose their minds and have their heads chopped off.
This is a sword technique that can affect the 'mind'.
But for Goethe, whose [Heart] score reached 29.8, it was not good enough.
Goethe would not be affected at all.
He raised his hand and clamped the blade.
Then, pull hard.
The sword of the seal owner of "A Thousand Miles Without Stopping" was taken away by Goethe.
The seal owner was stunned.
The two seal masters of 'Three Cups of Wine and a Promise' and 'Five Mountains Are Nothing' were also stunned.
None of the three expected such an outcome.
They knew Goethe was strong, but he took away the sword of the master of the Thousand Miles Without Staying in one move. This...
It’s too powerful!
Stronger than I could imagine!
"Stubborn and rigid, unable to adapt!
A person like you being a teacher is simply misleading the students. The more serious and responsible you are, the more stupid the students you teach will be. It is better for you to let them go."
Goethe said, holding the sword in one hand and flicking the blade with the other.
Buzz!
As the blade hummed, he whispered:
"I have a sword, do you dare to take it?"
