Time and Space Tavern

Chapter 2 The Vanishing Tavern

Qiao Mu didn't take it seriously for the appearance of these gangsters.

There were still no customers all morning, but there were a few phone calls selling wine. I don’t know how these guys could be so well-informed.The dozen or so resumes he submitted online turned out to be nothing.

After eating sliced ​​noodles in the afternoon, he continued to fiddle with his mobile phone, thinking about how to improve his business, and even posted some posts on the Internet, and got some replies and some good suggestions, but he had no capital.

As night fell, Qiao Mu turned on the lights and fell asleep leaning on the chair.He didn't know how much time had passed when he woke up. It was completely dark outside, without even a trace of moonlight, and the splash-like night was a bit scary.

Qiao Mu glanced at the phone, it showed "23:59".He cursed inwardly, unknowingly, he fell asleep until midnight.Thanks to the good law and order in this area, there are not many homeless people running in to rob.He stretched himself and got up to close the door.

Just when he walked to the door, he suddenly found thick fog floating out of the door.The mist was white, gushing out, blocking the line of sight in an instant, which was very strange.

"It was fine just now, why did it suddenly become foggy?" Qiao Mu felt his hair stand on end.

He quickly raised his hand to hold the door, but before he could use any force, he suddenly saw a person stepping out of the fog, almost hitting him.Qiao Mu's face turned pale when he saw the man's attire.

……

Four sneaky figures came to the tavern with a snakeskin bag.These four people are the gangsters headed by Cheng Feihong, and the other three are Yu Gang, Li Pengyu and Wang Liu.

They had arrived here an hour ago, seeing that the door of the tavern was always open and the lights were on inside, so they didn't dare to make a move.

The cold night made Yu Gang, who was wearing a down jacket, still shivering. He spat and said in a low voice, "Brother Cheng, why don't we do it, that kid doesn't know when the door will close."

The short and thin Wang Liu shrank his neck and let out a sigh: "Gangzi, no matter what you do, you can't be impatient. We are called the enemy, and if we are seen, all previous efforts will be wasted."

Li Pengyu laughed: "This is waiting for a rabbit."

"No, it's a slap in the face." Yu Gang said.

"This is killing chickens to scare monkeys!" Wang Liu retorted.

Several people were shouting, Cheng Feihong scolded: "Shut up, he's going to close the door!"

The three of them quickly fell silent. Through the bright lights, they saw Qiao Mu staggering towards the door, and then...

"Day, why is it foggy?"

"Brother Cheng, Xiao Liu, where are you, I can't see you?"

"I'm here, I'm sorry, where's the snakeskin bag?"

"Ah, snake!"

……

Qiao Mu didn't hear the screams outside the door, the thick fog isolated everything, this person who suddenly appeared in front of him almost scared him stupid.

This person is over two meters tall, with a jujube face and long beard, and a pair of red phoenix eyes with a cold glow.He was dressed in a very weird way, with a blue gown, a green scarf on his head, and a long-handled big knife in his hand.The head of the knife is wide and long, and the cold light is shining.Meeting each other on the first day of the new year made Qiao Shu feel like falling into an ice cave.

"Oh, I didn't expect there to be such a tavern among the mountains and fields." The man said, his voice was thunderous, making Qiao Mu stop screaming.

He let out a long breath, thinking to himself that this person should be an actor, but running out in the middle of the night is really scary.He instinctively wanted to refuse, but suddenly he heard the man ask in amazement: "What is this, why is it shining, is there a candle in it?"

Qiao Mu followed his gaze, and suddenly his body trembled, his face turned pale.He stared stiffly at the electronic clock on the wall, and the content displayed on it had become such a line: "Three Kingdoms, Jian'an 12th Year", and there was nothing else.

When Qiao Mu was in a daze, the man was already pacing back and forth in the tavern, and he would be amazed for a long time every time he saw something.Whether it's the simple-looking lamps, the paintings on the walls, the glass windows and mirrors, or even a magazine with a worn cover, they all make him exaggerate.

"Could it be that Yu entered the fairy's wine shop?" The man muttered to himself, looking at Qiao Mu with a complex expression, full of surprise, admiration, and fear.

Qiao Mu managed to recover, he looked back at the foggy doorway, and then at the red-faced man, a terrible guess flashed in his mind.

"Uncle kept repeating some great discoveries crazily back then. Everyone thought he was crazy. Could it be that he wasn't crazy, but... this tavern is connected to the Three Kingdoms period?"

The man let out a long breath, and suddenly saluted Qiao Mu respectfully, and asked, "Is the shopkeeper an immortal?"

Qiao Mu's complexion became extremely strange. He had watched a lot of time-travel TV series and novels, and was a senior VIP of the Qidian Chinese website. He had a brainstorm and adapted to this environment.

The ancients were not easy to be fooled, so he did not respond hastily, but forced himself to be calm: "There is only ordinary liquor here, how much do you want?"

His weird clothes and his high-ranking appearance made the man's expression change. He nodded and said, "First, two ounces of wine, and some beef..."

"Only wine." Qiao Mu replied.

"Then just the bar." The red-faced man replied.

Regardless of the dumbfounded red-faced man, he turned around and went to the wine barrel, took a large jug of low-quality liquor, took a small porcelain cup, and brought it to the man.

Qiao Mu pretended to be calm and walked behind the bar. He turned on the phone and found a blank signal.After hesitating for a while, he walked slowly to the door and tried to go out, but was blocked by an invisible force, like an invisible film, preventing him from taking half a step out of the tavern.

Turning his head, he saw the red-faced man drinking with intoxication, as if he was enjoying the golden wind and jade dew.Qiao Mu secretly despised, and at the same time confirmed his guess.If someone intentionally manipulated him, it would be impossible for him not to be able to walk out of the opened door.His mind became active for a while, and he wanted to talk to the red-faced man, but after seeing the cold-looking long knife of the other party, he instinctively felt fear.

Like him, the red-faced man had the same mentality.Even though he was called the enemy of ten thousand people, even in front of the emperor, he didn't change his face.But facing all these unknowns, coupled with Qiao Mu's aloof appearance, he felt uneasy.Therefore, even though he was intoxicated in fine wine and kept his head clear, he did not dare to speak rashly.

Half an hour later, a jug of wine was drunk by the red-faced man.His face was even redder, and the breath he exhaled had a strong smell of alcohol.At this time, he just remembered that he didn't ask the price before drinking.If it's an ordinary wine shop, he can just drink it, and just give him some silver and two feet, but this is not a mortal world.

"Please ask the Xian family, how do you pay for this kind of wine?" the red-faced man asked cautiously.

Qiao Mu raised his eyelids pretending to be unfathomable, and said, "As you wish."

The red-faced man was startled, and took out a fist-sized gold ingot from his pocket.

Qiao Mu's eyes lit up immediately, but the red-faced man put it away quickly, muttering, "Such vulgar things must not be able to catch the eyes of immortals."

Qiao Mu almost cried: that is Huang Zhanzhan's gold, I want it, I want it very much.He looked at the other party eagerly, hoping to leave something more valuable.

Then, he saw the man take off a palm-sized jade pendant from his waist, the jade was like suet, trimmed with gold.Just as his breathing became short of breath, the red-faced man put it away again: "What's the difference between this and that gold?"

A few seconds later, the red-faced man took a deep breath, took out a red cloth bag from his arms, put it on the table respectfully, looked back at Qiao Mu, and saw Qiao Mu playing with a "Xianjia Magic Treasure" with a unique shape and shining light. ", just bowed, lifted the knife and went out quickly, entering the mist and disappearing in a flash.

After he left, Qiao Mu hurriedly threw away the phone and reservedness, and opened the red cloth bag.After seeing what was inside, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

It was a turtle-shaped seal, square, more than two centimeters in width and height, with a turtle with its head raised above it.Unfortunately for Arbor, the material is copper.When he saw the handwriting on the seal, he was slightly taken aback.

Although the words "General" are in seal script, they are easy to distinguish. Doesn't this mean... the guy who gave me something is a General?

and many more.

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Qiao Mu's mind, and he remembered the guy's face, jujube face and phoenix eyes...the iconic long-handled knife, and his self-proclaimed "Yu"... Could it be that he is Guan Yu?
