C23 (1/2)
After Yang Lin and his group crossed the Yellow River, they immediately galloped after the large group led by Yang Lei without stopping. In less than a day, the dozen of people arrived at Jizhou's border. When they arrived at Ganling County, they caught up to the large group of brave villagers.
When it was already noon, Yang Lei and the rest had already finished their lunch, but Yang Lin and the rest who had rushed over had already starved to the point that their stomachs were growling. Fortunately, the county city was right beside him, so Yang Lin decided to enter the city to drink and eat with Dian Wei, Chen Ze and the others. He also looked at the Ganling County City.
The Ganling County City was also the location of the taiwai's Palace, and it was naturally much larger than the ordinary county city. The shops on the streets were side by side, and the streets were bustling with pedestrians. Since ancient times, the Jizhou had always been a prosperous place, it was a lively scene.
Yang Lin and his group brought along their horses as they walked along the street, causing the pedestrians to immediately turn around and stop in their tracks. There were even young ladies and daughter-in-laws who pointed at them as they discussed amongst themselves. A dozen tall, burly men swaggered through the city and soon became a scene in Ganling County.
”Here it is.”
At the side of the street, there was a large tavern. There was a small square in front of the entrance, and there were many horses tied to it. The tavern looked very grand. Yang Lin nodded to everyone and headed towards the tavern. The tavern staff quickly came forward to greet them. A few staff members helped them lead the horses over while another staff member respectfully welcomed them through the tavern's entrance.
When he walked into the tavern, he noticed that there were a lot of customers, but the living room wasn't full yet. The bartender quickly arranged two tables for them. In the eyes of the tavern's employees, the people's shamelessness was very clear. Yang Lin, Dian Wei, Xu Zhu and Chen Ze were sitting together, Yang Lin waved his hand at the tavern assistant.
Yang Lin was hungry and wished that he could eat a cow. He could not be bothered to give instructions. After the tavern waiter had gone down, Yang Lin started to size up the tavern. There were more than a dozen tables in the hall, and the decorations weren't too luxurious. However, the few large wine vats were particularly eye-catching.
However, Yang Lin was quick to discover something even more eye-catching, which caused him to be alarmed. At the side of the hall, there were two tall guests sitting at a table. The one on the left had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tall and sturdy build, and a resolute face with a quiet and refined air. The one on the right had sharp eyebrows and a stellar gaze, looking like a tiger striding forward. They laughed and talked, waiting for the waiter to serve them wine and food.
”What a mighty man!”
From the way they were sitting, Yang Lin could determine that these two people were taller than them. What was even more shocking to Yang Lin was that there was a long mountain ax beside the big man on the left, and a thick and long wolf tooth stick beside the big man on the right. Yang Lin roughly estimated that these two weapons were around two hundred kilograms. How could these two big men lift such heavy weapons?
”Brother Yang Lin, what are you looking at?”
”Look at those two men. Not only did they have enormous statures, they also possessed such heavy weapons. They most definitely possessed extraordinary strength and were most definitely not ordinary people.”
Everyone immediately looked over, and their faces could not help but reveal a look of surprise. In people's memories, any mighty and powerful man with extraordinary strength would definitely make a heavy weapon, and a rough and fierce one at that. Who could associate a quiet and elegant scribe like person with a weapon?
”Then the mountain ax and the wolf-tooth club can't be fake, right?”
Dian Wei was somewhat unconvinced. His pair of large iron halberd s each weighed forty kilograms, which was already incomparable to the weight of many others. But when he saw that the mountain ax and that wolf-tooth club's weight was almost two hundred kilograms, greatly surpassing his own large iron halberd, wasn't this disrespecting him? He couldn't help but ridicule them.
”Probably not, I can see that these two big men are quiet, elegant, intelligent and are more like scribe s who are studying. However, they have huge statures and thick bones, their entire bodies exude a heroic aura. In my opinion, these two are definitely not ordinary people. ”
Xu Zhu, on the other hand, was more objective when looking at them. He was intelligent and was able to see through the shrewdness of the two big men, their martial arts skills were outstanding. Xu Zhu was also a hero. Not only did he like to be a hero, he also liked to be friends with the heroes of the realm.
”Young Master Xu is right, I also think that these two big fellows are extraordinary. I want to make friends with these two and bring them into the gang. What do you think? ”
Yang Lin searched everywhere but he could not think of who the two people who used the mountain ax were. He was quite familiar with the Three Kingdoms' Martial General Ranking, so why weren't there these two people? No matter what, if he wanted to find a way to get to know them, he wouldn't be able to become a general. But with their physiques, they should be more than enough to become a general.
”It should be possible. He will definitely be a good helper.”
Xu Zhu immediately agreed. He was a partner in this horse selling business, of course he had the right to express his opinion. Even Chen Ze, who had been silent all this time, nodded his head in approval. If that mountain ax was real, then there would definitely be two more powerful generals.
”, your wine and dishes are here.”
Just then, the bartender brought Yang Lin and the others their wine and dishes. He nodded and bowed with a smile towards Yang Lin and the others, then placed them on a plate, filled it to the brim with dishes. He also poured wine for Yang Lin and the others, then withdrew himself.
”Drink.”
Yang Lin greeted everyone and then started to eat. Maybe it was because they had been hungry for a long time, they all raised their glasses and drank up the whole thing, then began to gobble down the meat. Yang Lin was already used to drinking from such a big bowl, eating big chunks of meat, without caring about his image, he started to eat along with the rest.
”Man, where's our food and wine?”
Yang Lin and the rest had not eaten and drank for long, and were still enjoying their meal, when they heard the man on the right call out. Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see the big fellow glaring angrily with a flushed face. He was clearly very angry. However, they still sat there quietly. Even though they were angry, they still appeared to be quiet.
”Sorry, sorry. I'll serve the wine and dishes for you right away.”
The waiter in the tavern quickly ran over and carefully forced a smile on his face. They were all guests, and he didn't dare to offend any of them. Then, his smiling face did not get the forgiveness of the two big guys. Obviously, the two big guys felt that they had been neglected. The big guy on the right fiercely glared at the shop assistant.
”We were supposed to arrive first, but why aren't we serving the wine and dishes now? After that, they actually already had the chance to eat and drink? ”
”This …”
The tavern staff were also at a loss for words. In fact, the shop assistant knew clearly in his heart that if the owner of the tavern saw that Yang Lin had a lot of people, it would be a huge business deal. As for the two guests, there was no harm in waiting for a moment. Who would have thought that they would run into such a vicious situation today?
”What the heck? Call your boss over. If you don't clarify, I'll smash your tavern.”
The two men looked gentle and calm, but their anger was like a lion's roar. It frightened the tavern waiter so much that he immediately turned around and ran, afraid that the man's iron fists would come smashing down on him. However, the owner of the tavern just watched inside the tavern and didn't dare to come out and explain. Even if he came out, how could he explain it clearly?
”Pah!”
A loud sound echoed out, causing the entire tavern to shake. The crowd looked back and saw that the two big men were enraged. The table in front of them had been smashed into smithereens. The man on the left suddenly stood up and picked up the mountain ax, while the man on the right did not show any weakness and picked up the wolf-tooth club.
”Boom!”
Where the axe had landed, a table had been smashed into smithereens. large rod s were everywhere, and another table had almost been turned into powder. Only now did Dian Wei believe that the axe and large rod were real, and that they were unstoppable. The two men were extremely angry. They waved their big axes and large rod, smashing around the tavern randomly. Wherever the big axes and large rod went, there were wolf tracks.
The guests in the tavern immediately jumped up from their seats and ran outside, afraid that the two burly men would be so angry that they would smash the table and then smash the people. Some customers who had already finished eating and drinking took advantage of this opportunity to slip away. They didn't even have to pay for their wine.
However, Yang Lin and the others did not leave. He was still preparing to recruit the two big men, but seeing that the two big men were angry, he took the opportunity to get to know them. Dian Wei was the first to jump up, and casually picked up his two large iron halberd s. Xu Zhu did not hesitate, he raised his two large blades, and both wanted to see the mountain ax and the wolf-tooth club.
”What, you guys want to fight?”
