Me and my Jianghu Tavern

Seeing them looking at him, Zhang Ming replied, "New wine."

"When did Brother Zhang make it? Why don't we know?" Gu Qingshan and Gongsun Yu were extremely puzzled, Zhang Ming looked up and was with them, how could he still have time to make wine.

"What do you care about these things?" Zhang Ming smiled, and continued, "How about a two-two pot of wine? Do you want to try it?"

Gongsun Yu looked at Zhang Ming's smile, curled his lips and said, "The more you look at Brother Zhang, the more he looks like a profiteer."

Gu Qingshan nodded, feeling that what Gongsun Yu said made sense.

"Have a pot."

"Same."

Gongsun Yu and Gu Qingshan took the silver, Zhang Ming happily accepted it, and then poured wine for them. Seeing Gongsun Yu and Gu Qingshan's expectant look, they seemed to have forgotten about Su Xue.

Seeing this scene, Su Xue was a little puzzled and asked, aren't they friends? Do they have to pay for drinking?

"This is..." Su Xue was very puzzled.

There was new wine, but Gongsun Yu still cared about Su Xue's identity, so he replied: "Brother Zhang sells wine, so naturally he wants money."

"Selling wine?" Su Xue raised his eyebrows.

He smelled a strong smell of ink from Zhang Ming's body. Most people would not have this kind of smell. At first, Su Xue thought Zhang Ming was a student, and he never thought that he was actually a wine seller.

Gongsun Yu and Gu Qingshan carefully looked at the amber wine in front of them, the wine was clear and crystal clear, just like the name, like amber.

Gongsun Yu took a sip, his eyes lit up, and he commented: "Not bad."

"It's really good." Gu Qingshan nodded.

"Just good?" Su Xue was a little puzzled. Is this kind of wine just good? Not necessarily.

Gongsun Yu smiled, and said: "Brother Zhang brews all the best wines, and there are wines that are better than this amber wine. Compared with them, this amber wine can only be regarded as good."

"Is that so?" Su Xue pondered. He didn't understand wine, but he could understand that this wine was absolutely extraordinary. He was a little curious about the taste of other wines.

"Meow." Xiaoqi jumped on the table, he also wanted to drink, and speaking of it, he hadn't tasted alcohol for several months, and he was still a little greedy, but he would sleep for a long time after drinking, and he didn't like it.

Zhang Ming patted Xiao Qi on the head and said, "It's not for you."

"Meow." Hearing this, Xiao Qi gave Zhang Ming a contemptuous look, and lay down on the table, as if he was holding on.

"What happened to it?" Su Xue asked.

Zhang Ming said with a smile: "It wants to drink, so I can't give it to him."

Su Xue smiled and took a sip of the amber wine. In his opinion, there was nothing strange about it. No matter how smart this cat is, it is not surprising that it wants to drink.

"It was said earlier that brother Zhang sells wine, but I don't think so. On the contrary, brother Zhang has a scholarly fragrance, like a scholar, but less immature." Su Xue looked at Zhang Ming and said.

"I'm just a tavern manager." Zhang Ming said with a smile.

"That's right. Brother Zhang does have the fragrance of ink." Gongsun Yu had also smelled it on a daily basis.

"I usually like to write some stories, and it's normal to have some ink fragrance." Zhang Ming said.

Su Xue only felt that Zhang Ming was being modest. He thought to himself, maybe Zhang Ming was just like him, maybe he could solve the doubts in his heart, but he didn't know whether he should ask or not. After all, he just met him.

Moreover, he could feel that Zhang Ming's friends didn't like him very much.

Seeing that Su Xue seemed hesitant, Zhang Ming asked, "Do you want to ask something?"

"Ah, I did encounter some difficulties, but I don't know whether I should ask." Su Xue smiled wryly.

Gu Qingshan turned his head, looked at Su Xue, and paid attention to him.

Su Xue felt that Gu Qingshan's gaze was a bit strange, it seemed to be vigilant, he didn't understand, it was just the first time they met, why did this happen.

"Let's listen to it." Zhang Ming said.

"I study in the mansion on weekdays. It has been more than ten years now, and I have more than ten thousand volumes. I started to think about it, and now." Su Xue sighed, "But I don't understand why I study."

There are tens of thousands of volumes of books in the small courtyard of the Su family, and he has read almost every volume. He is not strict with his reading. These are not some martial arts secret books, but just boring paper books, but he has read them more than once for ten years.

"Why study?" Zhang Ming poured himself a glass of wine, pondered for a long time, "I've heard a word."

"What?" Su Xue asked.

Zhang Ming put down his wine glass, but shook his head, and replied, "Forgot."

Chapter 178: Iron Face, Nine Iron Faces

Zhang Ming originally planned to say it, but he was not very familiar with him at first, and he didn't know the character of this person, so think about it or forget it.

After a while, Su Xue left the inn. When he left, he was still thinking about what Zhang Ming didn't say, and asked many times, but Zhang Ming forgot to answer them all. You say it.

Seeing Su Xue leave, Gongsun Yu asked, "Is this person really ignorant or just pretending?"

Gu Qingshan frowned, and said: "It doesn't look like it's pretending, this Su Xue really doesn't seem to know."

"The main thing is that it was a coincidence, and I'm also to blame." Zhang Ming sighed.

"Don't blame Brother Zhang, I didn't know at first." Gu Qingshan shook his head.

Seeing the innkeeper approaching, Gongsun Yu waved to him.

The innkeeper came over, bowed his hands respectfully, and said, "Master, do you have something to order?"

"I want to ask you something, there is a third young master in the Su family named Su Xue, do you understand?" Gongsun Yu asked.

Gu Qingshan also looked at the innkeeper.

The innkeeper thought for a while and replied: "Young master, I know something. The third young master of the Su family rarely goes out. It is said that he likes to read and spends all day in his study. He does not go out more than three times a year. , and no friends, very few people know this person."

"Could it be that he really read ten thousand volumes of books!?" Gongsun Yu was a little surprised, at first he thought it was just a theory.

"I guess he really doesn't know what happened this time." Zhang Ming said.

"That's the best." Gu Qingshan sighed, in fact, he has a good impression of Su Xue, and his words are quite humble, he doesn't look like some arrogant guy, I'm afraid it's all just pretending.

Gu Qingshan raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, thinking to himself: "Now we can only see what the Su family will do next."

-------------------------------------

As night fell, it began to rain in Jiangling City. The sun was scorching and hot for the past few days. It didn't rain until today, but it was autumn, so it was a bit cold.

"Clap la la la."

Huge raindrops fell on the roof tiles, and flowed down the grooves to the rear ditch, tick tock.

"Boom!"

A bright light flashed across the sky, and thunder exploded, frightening everyone's hearts, and then cursed the scary thunder.

Where the lightning flashed, the iron surface refracted the light, and the raindrops fell on the iron surface. He was dressed in black, with a long knife pinned to his waist. Count carefully, one or two... There are nine iron-masked men in total. , standing neatly in this courtyard.

The butler held the oil lamp in one hand and the oil-paper umbrella in the other. The person standing under the oil-paper umbrella was Su Cheng, the Patriarch of the Su Family. Su Cheng looked at the nine hidden guards in front of him and pondered for a long time.

"Go."

The nine dark guards in front of them disappeared before their eyes and merged into the rainy night.

Butler Lin's temples were gray and he was already old. He sighed and said, "Patriarch really doesn't care about the life and death of the Su family?"

In these days, many people from the Su family have left one after another, all with the permission of the Patriarch, because the next thing may affect the entire Su family, if you don't want to stay, you can leave.

Su Cheng was silent for a long time, "The Su family is never afraid of death."

Lin Butler sighed, it was hard to stop, no matter what he said, he couldn't change Su Cheng's mind.

"Aren't Uncle Lin leaving?" Su Cheng asked.

Butler Lin sighed, and said, "If you're both old, you might as well follow the young master wherever you can go."

A smile flashed across the young master's face when Su Cheng heard that sound, and said, "It's been a long time since Uncle Lin called me young master."

Butler Lin didn't speak, and silently opened the umbrella.

It really is time flies.

"Boom!"

There was thunder.

There was no one on the street in Jiangling City, only nine figures running towards the east of the city, looking like ghosts.

Everyone has iron masks on their faces, except for a pair of dark pupils.

The secret guard of the Su family, Jiu Tie Mian.

They don't have names, and they have been trained as dead soldiers since they entered the Su family. There have always been nine people, but they are not the original nine people. Maybe they died, or something.

Standing in the attic of the inn, Gu Qingshan saw those figures from a distance, raised his head and took a sip of wine.

"coming."

Gu Qingshan guessed that someone would come tonight, so he waited here, but he knew that he was definitely no match by himself, so he called Zhang Ming together, and only brother Zhang could help.

Chu Hang was still lying in the inn. Although the cold poison was suppressed, his internal injuries had not healed and he couldn't move, let alone speak out.

"Iron face, nine iron face." Gu Qing Shan frowned.

The Su family doesn't intend to give him any chance. The nine iron faces of the Su family, the nine master masters, are the secret guards of the Su family. They originally followed the nine shopkeepers of the Su family, but now all of them have appeared.

Gu Qingshan put the jug on the table, picked up the red feather sword, and looked to the side, "Brother Zhang, please help me sweep the formation."

As soon as Zhang Ming raised his head, Yu Ruyi floated up in the air.

"Go." Zhang Ming snorted softly.

Yu Ruyi turned into a stream of light, heading towards the man in the iron mask who was rushing towards him.

"tread."

The iron-masked man at the head jumped up, stepped on Yu Ruyi, borrowed his strength, and didn't care about Yu Ruyi. He swung a long knife in his hand, and rushed straight to the attic.

"break."

Gu Qingshan raised his head and a sword qi slashed out, collided with the saber qi, and both of them turned into nothingness.

The eight people behind him attacked Yu Ruyi who was flying around, each with a saber.

Gu Qingshan turned into an afterimage, and went straight to the leader of the man in the iron mask.

Zhang Mingchao controlled Yu Ruyi, so he could only restrain them. These nine people were all masters, and they couldn't even break through their stellar energy protection.

The leading man in the iron mask stopped and looked at Gu Qingshan in front of him.

"If you want to kill Chuhang, I will meet you first." Gu Qingshan said.

Tie Mian didn't have any nonsense, he directly slashed out with a single knife, the raindrops that fell were cut through by the stellar energy, and the raindrops that were cut off seemed to turn into needles, cutting like Gu Qingshan together with the knife energy.

bang.

The thunder sounded, illuminating that iron surface, which was icy cold, without emotion, and only knew to kill.

"Happy."

Gu Qingshan slashed out with a sword, turning into an afterimage, the whole body was densely covered with sword energy, and the sword energy permeated the field and scattered in all directions.

A sword is cut out, and a drop of rain does not enter.

The cold air receded, leaving only this sword light.

Iron Face's knife energy was dispersed, and the two were evenly matched.

The eight iron faces behind were restrained by a jade sword. Their mission from the beginning was to stop the person who wielded the sword, and they only needed to stop the sword.

"It's not easy." Zhang Ming frowned, if Gu Qingshan wants to win against that person, it will probably be very troublesome.

Moreover, Gu Qingshan must fight quickly, Yu Ruyi won't last long.

Those are the eight masters, and it takes more energy to control Yu Ruyi and Zhang Ming. If they swarm up, Gu Qingshan will surely die.

The situation is grim.

Now only Gu Qingshan is watching, if he can quickly kill the leader of the man in the iron mask, it will be much easier.
