C19 (1/2)
Xiao Li and Zhai Yingkong finished the entire jar in one go, and Zhai Yingkong threw the jar away. Xiao Li said, ”Then may I invite elder brother to my inn for a chat?” Zhai Yingkong laughed, ”Alright, I've booked a room there too!”
The two of them supported each other as they shakily made their way to the inn. When the pedestrians saw the two of them, they all stepped aside and stared coldly at the two poor drunkards in front of them. They didn't feel offended at all, and directly walked towards him in a piercing manner. Unfortunately, before they had even gone ten meters, they heard someone call out, ”Hey, what are you two doing? ”Hey, why are you leaving?” Xiao Li and the others felt that something wasn't right. They turned around and saw that the stall owner was shouting at them. Xiao Li saw how enthusiastic he was and said, ”Boss, there's no need to be so polite. Let's go. We'll come visit you next time.”
When the boss heard this, he seemed to become even more anxious and stammered, ”Wait …” Slow... Go, etc... ”Hold on.”
When Xiao Li heard this, he was elated. ”Boss, you're too polite. I'll come back next time. ”
The boss suddenly became angry and ran towards them. He grabbed Xiao Li and said, ”You … ”Don't leave.” Xiao Li said, ”Boss, I really have something to do today. I'll come again next time.”
When the shop owner caught Xiao Li, he seemed to have calmed down and actually stopped stuttering. He said to Xiao Li, ”You didn't even give me the money to drink. How did you leave?” Xiao Li's heart thumped when he heard this. So the two of them were so drunk that they forgot to give the stall owner the money. When Xiao Li heard the stall owner's words, the wine money woke him up and he quickly took out the silver, blushing as he said to the shop owner, ”Haha, I was a bit drunk earlier. I forgot to give you the money to drink. Please forgive me.”
After the boss received the silver, he smiled and said, ”It's alright. I thought you guys were freeloaders again, so all you have to do is give me the silver.”
Xiao Li's face turned even redder when he heard this. He hurriedly said, ”I will also pay for my brother's account. See if that silver is enough.”
Just as the boss was about to reply, Zhai Yingkong said, ”I already paid for it, you don't have to be polite with me, hehe.” When Xiao Li heard this, he felt even more embarrassed and hurriedly said, ”Then let's go.” He walked forward first. This incident had become a stain on Xiao Li's life and was often used by Zhai Yingkong to play tricks on him.
Xiao Li and Xiao Kun returned to the inn and introduced Mu Long, ”This Big Brother Zhai is here to help Big Brother Heishui. With him here to help me, I believe I have a certain amount of confidence. ”Also, I know about Wu Ol'second's scheme, and now I'm here to tell us the specifics.”
After Mu Long and Tian Liu heard Xiao Li's words, they knew that Zhai Yingkong was definitely not ordinary. Otherwise, Xiao Li wouldn't have said, ”With his help, I believe I have a certain amount of confidence.” The two of them hurriedly said to Zhai Yingkong, ”Mister Zhai, we have too much to rely on.”
Zhai Yingkong said, ”You're too courteous, I have to rely on you more!” Everyone, don't mention it. I'm just a few years older, you can just call me Brother. ” Although Xiao Li had only known him for a short period of time, he seemed to be able to get along with him. Knowing that he didn't care about the formalities, he said to Mu Long and the others, ”Since brother doesn't care, then there's no need to be courteous. Is calling me like this also full of affection, hehe. ” Then he said to Zhai Yingkong, ”Bro, don't bother being polite with them anymore, let's talk about Old Second's plan now.”
Zhai Yingkong said, ”What is there to say? He doesn't need any plans.” Going around and around is akin to being completely surrounded and annihilated. What's there to talk about? ”
Xiao Li was stupefied as he said, ”Could it be that he doesn't have any conspiracy? ”How is that possible?”
Zhai Yingkong said, ”Yeah. What kind of conspiracy does he want? He doesn't even need a conspiracy. ”
Xiao Li looked confused, ”How is that possible? He doesn't have a conspiracy, so he can't just say that he wants to make a move on the Blackwater Gang. This doesn't seem to be the usual style of Second Brother Wu! ”
Zhai Yingkong said, ”Hehe, you still don't understand such a simple logic. ”Sigh!” He greatly hated the appearance of Xiao Li's rotten wood being useless.
Xiao Li said, ”What's the logic?” Zhai Yingkong said, ”Didn't you know that Second Brother Wu had hired helpers?”
”I know, so what?”
”Ai, with someone like him helping out, what kind of conspiracy do we need?” ”You're really stupid.”
Xiao Li was enlightened as he laughed, ”Haha, is he really that powerful? To think that even someone as cautious as Second Brother Wu would trust him so much. I really want to meet him. ”
Zhai Yingkong said, ”Hehe, of course you have to meet him. You won't have to wait that long.”
Xiao Li said, ”Then why don't you tell me about him? Don't tell me that you don't even know this? I should have the right to know that, too. ”
Zhai Yingkong said, ”Didn't you know? I thought you knew.” He is one of the few experts among the younger generation of the Lou Guang Sect. ”
Xiao Li said, ”Viewing Platform? What is this thing? ”
Zhai Yingkong said, ”You don't know, that's impossible, right?” Xiao Li said, ”Do I really not know?” Zhai Yingkong said helplessly, ”Lou Guang Sect is one of the few big sects now, but you don't know about it. I don't dare to imagine it.”
Xiao Li said, ”What's so strange about that?” Did you know my name before? ”
Zhai Yingkong laughed. ”Haha, so you've never heard of the Lou Guang Sect. Do you know about the Qing Emperor, Ling Bao, the Heavenly Master and the Three Sovereigns? ”
Xiao Li shook his head. ”Haha, I don't know.”
Zhai Yingkong said, ”No way, you don't even know any of these big sects?”
Xiao Li laughed, ”There's nothing to be alarmed about. I'm not someone from the martial arts world.”
Zhai Yingkong's eyes widened as he looked him up and down. ”No way, you're not from the martial arts world?” ”From what I see, you are not like those martial artists in the martial arts world at all. Furthermore, you have profound inner force. How did you learn this martial art?”
Xiao Li said, ”Hehe, I'm not from the martial arts world. However, Mu Long and Tian Liu were once from the martial arts world, so I guess they can be considered half from the martial arts world. I haven't been in the Jianghu for long, so I don't know anything, but I don't want to be in the Jianghu anymore. This life doesn't seem to fit us very well. ”
