Rivers and lakes start from Shushan

Chapter 176 Encountering a Stranger and Stealing a Holy Soldier for Help
"He likes to eat or not!"

Guo Furong yelled loudly and patted the table, Lu Qinghou who was standing behind the stairs heard this, turned his head and ran back to his room.

Tong Xiangyu and Bai Zhantang looked at each other, Bai Zhantang sat down indifferently, and ate the food with big mouthfuls.

Li Dazui didn't care what happened at all, muttering, he competed with Bai Zhantang for food.

"Sister Guo, are you guys fighting again? Save some for me, sister-in-law~"

Mo Xiaobei asked curiously, but saw that Bai Zhantang and Li Dazui ate most of the food in a few mouthfuls, especially the fish.

She was also not curious about the matter between Guo Furong and Lu Qinghou, and immediately started to grab the food, but she couldn't grab it, and called Tong Xiangyu unwillingly.

Lifting up his chopsticks, Tong Xiangyu knocked on Bai Zhantang and said, "Eat quickly and go upstairs to greet the guests."

Pointing to Li Dazui again, he said, "Dazui, you are eating more and more."

Li Dazui hurriedly took another two bites before he said, "Hmph! Then I won't eat!"

He seemed to be angry, got up and said a few words, and went to the back kitchen without looking back.

No one at the table cared about him. Everyone knew that he must have hidden food in the kitchen.

Everyone will be hungry, and the chef will definitely not be hungry.

Bai Zhantang ignored Mo Xiaobei's fight and took two more bites before putting down his bowl and chopsticks.

They had a lively meal downstairs, and Yang Ke was upstairs, which was also a table.

Compared with downstairs, the table is much better.

There was a table full of dishes, eight cold dishes, eight hot dishes, and two soups on the side.

Compared with when he was in the palace, it is not worse.

After tasting them one by one, Youping praised: "Sister Xiangyu's chef is not bad."

During these days in the palace, her mouth has been raised very slyly. On the way, she ate at several inns and restaurants, but she didn't have any good comments.

Here, however, gave her a surprise.

A very ordinary small town inn actually has a chef who can compete with the chefs of the royal palace.

"Young Master Ke, can you invite this cook to Mount Shu?"

Gongsun Li's idea was very good, and Yang Ke thought about it too, but he still shook his head and said: "Compared to the prosperous areas of the Central Plains, Shu Mountain is remote and thousands of miles away. I'm afraid I won't be able to hire a chef. Besides, how can I poach Shopkeeper Tong?" The base of the wall?"

How can I say that last year, Tong Xiangyu also received great help. Although he paid the money, he couldn't help but think about it, and Yang Ke didn't think so at all.

"Eating and drinking? Is it enough? Is it enough for me to tell Dazui to do it again?"

As he was talking, he heard Bai Zhantang greet him at the door. Yang Ke turned around and said, "The dishes are pretty good, enough. Brother Bai, why don't you join us at the table?"

Yang Ke was naturally polite, and Bai Zhantang also understood it very well. Besides, his status was limited and it was inconvenient for him to sit.

"No, no, I'm downstairs, I need to call you."

With that said, he disappeared.

"This 【Thieves Saint】's light work is well-deserved."

Seeing his display of movement, Gongsunli said softly.

Yang Ke had talked about Bai Zhantang's identity with them before, but in fact, many well-informed people in the Jianghu knew it.

He has lived here for three or four years, and many people know this secret, but no one bothers him.

It's better for a [Saint of Thieves] to collect mountains like this. It's better than wandering around in the world. Otherwise, if he takes a look at the treasure in the family, even a heavenly and human-level master may not be able to solve the concerns of a big thief.

"I really want to see how he does those big cases."

At this time, Hu Xiaoxian suddenly said.

Speaking of it, her industry is quite similar to that of Bai Zhantang, but the gambling skills are mostly face-to-face to defraud money, and the techniques are quite complicated.

She can also learn from the techniques used by masters of thievery to steal money secretly.

It can't be said that gambling can make great progress.

She hadn't participated in any gambling for a long time, and her hands were a little itchy.

She never recovered from her injuries in Shendu, and Youping and the others would not push her wheelchair and take her to the casino.

Gambling is strictly prohibited in the mansion, even if those servant girls are willing to gamble with her, Hu Xiaoxian probably wouldn't start this gamble.

That's not gambling, that's fraud.

She actually wanted to have a bet with this [Holy Thief].

The night came very early, and it was not time to rest after dinner. Li Dazui was busy in the kitchen, and sometimes the ingredients for tomorrow had to be prepared in advance.

The shopkeeper promised that if the guest eats happily, he will be rewarded with a penny for every meal in the past two days.

Li Dazui was very attentive, his monthly salary was only two renminbi, and this meal cost one renminbi, it was worth all his efforts.

Guo Furong brushed the bowl casually, was washing clothes in the backyard, listening to the movement in Lu Qinghou's house with one ear.

"King Zitan..."

Lu Qinghou seemed to be studying, but he was a little out of breath. After all, he had not eaten dinner and still had to study.

After arranging the ingredients, Li Dazui glanced out and saw that Guo Furong was still in the backyard. He hesitated for a moment, took a bowl in his arms, moved slowly, and walked to the backyard.

"Where are you doing the laundry?"

He greeted Guo Furong, Guo Furong raised her head, looked at Li Dazui with his back turned to him, walked very slowly, curled her lips, and ignored him.

Li Dazui walked to his own room, which was the room where Lu Qinghou and the others lived together.

Enter the door, but gently close the door.

At this time, Guo Furong walked over gently, and listened attentively in front of the door.

"Are you still looking at it? Stop looking at it. I brought you some food. You can look at it after eating..."

"Hey! I'm still talking big, those women are unreliable at all; what Confucius said is true: only women..."

"Yes, this little girl needs to be treated! I can..."

"Big mouth, you're wrong, it's not a little woman, it's a villain!"

The sound of Lu Qinghou's reading disappeared, and the sound of his mouth was heard later. Guo Furong guessed that Li Dazui brought him some food from the kitchen, so he looked so weird just now.

Originally, when she heard the news she wanted to hear, she was about to leave, but she heard the voice of Lu Qinghou talking nonsense again.

Snapped!
The door was pushed open, and Guo Furong was at the door, shouting, "The surname is Lu, tell me clearly, who is the villain?"

When Lu Qinghou heard the movement, he was startled, almost biting his own tongue, and then heard Guo Furong's voice again.

Suddenly, Li Dazui, who was sitting next to him, stood up and took a few steps away.

Half a steamed bun in Lu Qinghou's hand fell on the table.

"This... this... I... I..."

For a moment, fear arose, and Lu Qinghou didn't know how to explain it, so he glanced at Li Dazui who was next to him, he moved a foot away with such kung fu.

"Hmph! I am a villain, and you are a beggar, a beggar who eats scraps!"

Seeing his cowardice, Guo Furong became even angrier. She glanced at the dishes in the bowl, smiled contemptuously, and said something involuntarily!
After speaking, she immediately regretted it.

Some words are very hurtful, and that kind of wound is difficult to heal.

"I……"

She wanted to apologize, but the words came to her lips, but she couldn't. She was very proud. Guo Juxia's daughter was naturally proud.

"Guo! Fu! Rong!"

After a while, Lu Qinghou didn't wait for the steps, he immediately became angry, patted the table, and stood up.

He glared at his lover, very angry.

Originally, even if he was dependent on others, his career could not see the slightest light. This place is like home, but it is not like home.

"You...what do you want?"

Seeing him stand up, Guo Furong was a little scared for a while, but seeing that he just slapped the table, she never backed down.

"You and I today! En! Absolute! Righteousness! Absolute!"

At this time, Lu Qinghou was furious, and he also said something that he was destined to regret.

"Sister Guo, if you quarrel like this, you can't kill anyone!"

Mo Xiaobei hurried over, watching the excitement and stoking the fire. Guo Furong's eyes were red at this time, and she grabbed her ears and pulled Mo Xiaobei back to their room.

"It hurts! It hurts!"

Mo Xiaobei cried out in pain and was pulled away by Guo Furong. Guo Furong didn't look back, but she walked a little slowly and stayed at the door for a moment.

It's just that Lu Qinghou didn't watch her walk out of the room at all, he looked at the dishes on the table, then at Li Dazui, and asked: "Dazui, what dish?"

"I made extra when I was cooking. I originally wanted to make it for myself as a midnight snack; don't listen to her nonsense. The leftovers have long been eaten by Xiaomi."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Lu Qinghou sat down, looked at Li Dazui, and felt that this roommate was really reliable.

But, Guo Furong, is it really necessary to separate like this?
There seemed to be tears in his eyes, but he lowered his head, chewing steamed buns and eating vegetables, Li Dazui didn't see it either.

Li Dazui didn't take it seriously, this couple, it's a common occurrence, and it's not surprising that they would be noisy every once in a while, even fighting.

"This woman needs to be treated well!"

Li Dazui sat down beside him, talking.

Just as he was talking, Bai Zhantang came in suddenly at this moment, looked him over, and asked, "Just now, Xiao Bei said, the two of them are arguing again?"

Approaching, Bai Zhantang sat down, saw a small chicken leg in Lu Qinghou's bowl, suddenly made a move and snatched it.

Although Lu Qinghou said that he was eating, but his heart was full of sadness, he didn't even notice that the chicken legs in the bowl disappeared.

He thought he had seen it wrong. He raised his head and saw Bai Zhantang quickly destroying the chicken legs, which were clearly in his bowl.

In the blink of an eye, the chicken leg was left with only bones.

Bai Zhantang looked at him, and said apologetically, "Didn't I just rob you of a chicken leg?"

It was Lu Qinghou, whose face was full of tears at some point, but he didn't make a sound.

"What chicken leg?"

At this time, there was another voice at the door, and Bai Zhantang swallowed the meat in his mouth in two or three gulps, and the chicken bone in his hand disappeared.

"Xiucai, I saw that he didn't want to eat, so I ate for him, but he cried. He was so stingy."

Bai Zhantang stood up and explained, he was also very puzzled, in the past he used to snatch a lot of food, anyone else, and Mo Xiaobei sometimes pretended to cry twice, but he didn't see Lu Qinghou crying like this Pass.

Snapped!
After slapping Bai Zhantang, Tong Xiangyu walked in, glanced at the bowl on the table, and glanced at Li Dazui, who was far away.

"A chicken leg, let Dazui make it for you again... Zhantang, it seems that there are visitors outside."

As Tong Xiangyu spoke, he heard sounds outside.

Li Dazui didn't hear it. He was silent in this room and wanted to get close to Bai Zhantang, but he saw Bai Zhantang running away quickly.

"Come on~"

A warm hello.

In two breaths, Bai Zhantang went from the backyard to the lobby, where he saw a person sitting in front of the "old elm table with ash" and stretching his hand into his arms.

Bai Zhantang was slightly wary. He didn't know where he came from, but he suddenly became wary.

Could it be that we are like-minded people?

Seeing this man take his hands out of his arms and sit there, he looked like a host rather than a guest.

"Who are you? Where did you come from? How did you get in?"

There was vigilance in his tone, he didn't regard this person as a guest.

But seeing this person, he turned his head nonchalantly, and asked back: "The one who walked in, do you still want to crawl in?"

Yo!
This kid is very arrogant!
Bai Zhantang approached, pointed at him and said, "What are you hiding? Give it to me."

He clearly saw that when he came over, the man was in his arms, and there seemed to be nothing missing in the inn lobby, but who knew what this man would look for?
He knew very well that sometimes his peers didn't have to steal something valuable, but just couldn't help but want to steal it.

But I saw that kid spread his hands in doubt, and said, "I didn't hide anything, what did I hide?"

He was also very puzzled, the waiter in this shop seemed a little strange.

Seeing him like this, Bai Zhantang patted the table, he was a little angry, this kid dared to speak so hard in front of him.

Today's juniors are a bit young and vigorous!

"Catch you, you still dare to speak hard, ah!"

Patting on the table, Bai Zhantang said, "Either, hurry up and give me a buckle, otherwise, you will die!"

The man smiled slightly at this time, he looked at Bai Zhantang, and felt that the waiter in the shop was a bit interesting, "What is Lukou?"

Don't know this?
Could it be that they just came out of the rivers and lakes, the young people nowadays are really bold.

Bai Zhantang smiled contemptuously at this moment, and said, "Looks like he's a new friend."

Approaching him and patting him on the shoulder, Bai Zhantang said with a smile: "Then I will teach you a few words for free. This is to spit out stolen goods. Give me what you just stole."

Forcibly holding back the hand that slapped Bai Zhantang on the shoulder, the man slapped the table angrily and shouted softly, "Presumptuous!"

He was full of energy, and in an instant, his momentum forced Bai Zhantang to take a step back.

"Hehe! If I don't give you some color to see, don't you..."

Bai Zhantang gathered his true energy and reached his posture halfway. He looked at the man. Although he was still sitting firmly, his palms were also in a posture, and he didn't look like an easy-going person.

Watching vigilantly, looking up and down, the more I look, the more I feel that this person is not simple!
At this time, Bai Zhantang heard the sound of footsteps on the street, he was familiar with it and knew who this person was.

Immediately, he turned around and rushed to the door, shouting: "Yan catcher, Yan catcher, someone broke into the empty door!"

A person rushed in from the door, shouting, "Where are you?"

It was Yan Xiaoliu, the head catcher in the town.

Bai Zhantang stretched out his hand and pointed at the person who was sitting. He had a plan in his heart. When Yan Xiaoliu, who rushed in, drew his knife, he lightly lifted his leg and immediately fell to the ground, pretending to be scratched by the knife. .

Yan Xiaoliu looked at the man sitting there, gesturing with a knife, and felt quite nervous.

His martial arts can only be regarded as not top-notch, and he didn't feel it just now, when he brushed Bai Zhantang's leg, he just had the illusion that something fell behind him.

Hearing the movement, he looked back and asked in surprise, "Old Bai, what's wrong with your leg?"
