Me and my Jianghu Tavern

Zhang Ming went back to the counter, sat down, and put Xiao Qi on the table.

After a while, Xiao Qi fell asleep.

There was nothing to do at all, and Zhang Ming was bored, so he dozed off with his head propped up.

After walking around Chang'an, Zhang Ming felt that the life in the tavern was boring.

Not only Gongsun Yu's disposition changed.

Zhang Ming realized that his temperament had also changed a lot.

The heart that was able to calm down before could not be calmed down, but became more restless.

It's like a child who has never seen the world has walked around outside, and after returning, he is thinking about the outside world. This kind of feeling is a bit indescribable.

When he first came to this world, his heart was dead, like a dying old man, he didn't want to be a young man with fighting spirit.

He only wants to be a shopkeeper who has nothing to do, and he doesn't care how many drinkers there are in the tavern to drink.

This kind of disposition appeared in him, who was in his twenties.

Now that I have walked through Chang'an, I seem to be a few years younger, and I suddenly want to see what the world looks like.

This trip, I don't know if I went right or wrong.

"Squeak..."

The sun sets, the moon rises, and insects sound from both sides of the official road.

Zhang Ming was awakened by the sound of insects, and slowly opened his eyes. He didn't sleep very well this time, and his sleep was very restless.

He turned his head and glanced at the tavern, but there was only one person sitting on the wine table beside him.

It was the monk Nian'an, who didn't know when he came.

Zhang Ming got up and walked over, sat down and asked, "When did you come?"

Nian An, who was reading Buddhist scriptures, stopped, opened his eyes and smiled, "I just arrived."

Zhang Ming didn't ask Nian An if he wanted to drink. This guy came up to drink and read Buddhist scriptures, so it was useless to ask.

"What do you want me to do?" Zhang Ming asked.

"Not really, just chatting with the shopkeeper."

"Didn't you say you came to Jian'an to find someone? Is it just that free?"

"Isn't the shopkeeper quite free?"

"Can that be the same?"

Zhang Ming took out the wine gourd from his waist, took a sip of plum wine, and said, "Monk, the more you hang around in front of me, the more I feel that you are plotting something wrong."

"Where does this start?" Nian An said with a smile.

Zhang Ming paused, stared at Nian An seriously and said, "I'm not a fool."

Monk Nian An also looked at Zhang Ming, and saw Zhang Ming continue to say: "It is definitely not a coincidence that I met you. When I walked with you in Jiangling, it was not just as simple as you drinking in a tavern."

Nian'an has not spoken for a long time.

Zhang Ming took another sip of his wine and asked, "I just want to know what is there about me that is worthy of your concern."

Nian An put his palms together and lost the usual smile, and just said: "Since the shopkeeper understands clearly, why do you ask again?"

Zhang Ming shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I don't understand."

Chapter 278: Go, Go, Go

"I'm just an idle shopkeeper. I know nothing and don't know anything. What can you do with me? To put it bluntly, you just treat me as a pawn, why? Maybe you want me to dominate the world."

Zhang Ming sneered, these words have been held in Zhang Ming's heart for a long time, and now it's easy to say them.

Monk Nian'an remained silent, because he knew very well that it was useless to say anything now, so he asked Zhang Ming to vent his anger.

Zhang Ming leaned over and stared at Nian'an closely, "When I first came here, my heart was dead, but now I'm alive again, this is what you want to see, right?"

"Really?" Zhang Ming asked urgently.

Facing Zhang Ming's gaze, Monk Nian'an's eyes were still so clear, without a trace of emotion.

Zhang Ming sneered, and then said: "Kong Yue wants to seal my cultivation base, he doesn't want me to enter the rivers and lakes, but monk, you think, although I don't know what your purpose is, but I have to say, you succeeded, I will give you a chance. I really want to go for a walk.”

Zhang Ming got up, stared at Nian'an and said, "Your usual arrogance, why don't you talk?"

Nian An put his hands together and sighed, "Amitabha."

"boom."

Zhang Ming suddenly jumped up and slapped the table, cursing, "Fuck you, my lord!"

Nian An looked up slightly surprised.

Zhang Ming was panting heavily, his face was flushed, he seldom swears, but he really couldn't help it, this monk didn't know what was good, the more he didn't speak, the more aggrieved Zhang Ming felt.

You know everything, but you can't do anything.

This roar surprised Xiao Qi who was sleeping on the counter.

Xiao Qi was startled, woke up, and looked at Zhang Ming who was propped up on the table and was furious.

"Meow?" Xiaoqi quickly jumped off the table.

Xiaoqi ran to the wine table and jumped onto the table. It sat on the table and looked up at Zhang Ming.

"Meow."

Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment, then looked down at Xiaoqi.

Xiao Qi looked at Zhang Ming worriedly, stretched out her paws to touch Zhang Ming's hand that was supporting the table, and comforted him.

Zhang Ming regained consciousness in a trance, and the anger in his body was gone.

"Huh." Zhang Ming took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and hugged Xiao Qi.

Nian An was a little surprised.

But in the blink of an eye, Zhang Ming's anger disappeared?Just because of this civet cat?

It seems that this civet cat is a little different to Zhang Ming.

Zhang Ming calmed down, looked at Nian An, and said indifferently: "As you wish, I will leave in a few days, but it does not mean that I will stand by your side, I will stand by no one."

Nian An smiled slightly, and finally said: "That's good."

"From now on, don't come here anymore, I don't have any wine to sell you here." Zhang Ming said softly.

"Leave, little monk." After speaking, Nian'an got up and left.

Zhang Ming frowned slightly, watching Monk Nian'an leave.

Until, he disappeared in front of his eyes.

Zhang Ming went out, but there was no one on the official road at the entrance of the tavern, only Monk Nian'an left in a blink of an eye.

"Meow." Xiao Qi yelled, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, still a little sleepy.

Zhang Ming hugged it and sat on the steps at the entrance of the tavern.

He has always treated Nian An as a friend, even though Zhang Ming knew that Nian An had ulterior motives, he still did not say those words.

But in the end it was said.

I don't know why today, Zhang Ming just couldn't help but want to say it, because these words have been held in his heart for too long.

He couldn't pretend to pretend he didn't know anything.

Now calm down, but a little regretful.

But so what, it's useless to regret, just say it.

At most, there are only a few friends.

Just less friends.

Zhang Ming would still sit at the counter as usual.

Holding the white cat in his arms, watching the familiar drinkers in the tavern come here to drink.

From morning to night, drinking, chatting...

It's just that there are fewer and fewer people in the tavern than before.

The scholar is still in Chang'an, and the barbarian has no one to argue with.

Gongsun Yu also stopped drinking in the tavern.

Gu Qingshan who talked the most did not know where he went.

And that Liang Shurong who was drunk every time, never came to the tavern again.

Zhang Ming will continue to watch from morning to night as always.

Just go and go.

The tavern is no longer as lively as it used to be.

All these changes made Zhang Ming a little unprepared, although he had already expected this to happen.

He's the shopkeeper, always has been, and always will be.

It's just that he won't stay here forever.

The evergreen leaves don't stay on the tree all the time, they will turn yellow and fall off one day.

Spring goes to autumn, it disperses with the wind and finally falls to the ground, turning into dust.

.........

"The shopkeeper has been a little different recently."

"what's the difference?"

"There are more words than before."

These days, Zhang Ming has been busy, chatting with the drinkers in the tavern.

Compared with before, he is no longer the taciturn shopkeeper that the drinkers say.

Changed to talk about everything, talk about everything.

Zhang Ming put away the wine glasses and jugs.

Seeing this, Lei Hu wanted to come up to help, but was stopped by Zhang Ming: "You rest, I will do it myself."

Lei Hu couldn't do anything if he wanted to help, he just stood like this all day long without doing anything, and it was like this all this time.

It made him very uncomfortable.

"Shopkeeper, is there anything I did wrong?" Lei Hu asked.

Zhang Ming raised his head to look at him, and explained: "No, I'm just too free, don't think too much."

When the sun was about to set, Lei Hu left.

After Zhang Ming was free, he teased Xiao Qi, and would doze off at night when there were no guests.

Every day at this time, Su Tan would come to the tavern on time.

Su Tan put the spear on the table at one side, and said in a deep voice: "A pot of generals will do."

His forehead was still stained with sweat, and his hair was messy.

Zhang Ming served the wine and sat down.

"Where do you plan to go after practicing the gun?" Zhang Ming asked as he poured her wine.

Su Tan thought for a while and replied, "Beimo."

Zhang Ming nodded slightly, and then asked, "Where are those people?"

Su Tan pondered for a moment, in fact, she didn't know what to do with those people.

killed?or how?
