the enlightener says

Luo Fengchu's footsteps stopped abruptly, and she turned her head to stare at him.

Qin Ke's anger that had just erupted was immediately suppressed by this look, and he stuttered for a while, because he realized that what he just said seemed to be inappropriate, so he explained: "I said you are not human... no ...It doesn't mean that...it means that you are different from...ordinary people...it means that your realm is high, it is really high..."

Fortunately, Luo Fengchu did not whip him for the first time, perhaps because the two of them were in this bustling market, so she slowly said: "Okay, eat."

"Huh?" Qin Ke suspected that he had heard wrong.

"Don't you want to eat?" Luo Fengchu was still cold, "I know there is a restaurant here, and the shopkeeper has cooked Zhong Ni's meals for several years in Jicheng, and now many famous cooks in Jianye City call him Master, or did you change your mind and don't want to eat?"

"Of course it hasn't changed...haha...it hasn't changed..." Qin Ke breathed a sigh of relief and finally laughed out loud, then followed Luo Fengchu's footsteps and asked casually at the same time: "Did you come here before?" Been here? How do you feel that you look familiar?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he already felt that something was wrong. Even though he was in this bustling street, a scorching breath suddenly struck him!

Qin Ke's pupils shrank sharply, and at the same time, his footsteps stepped out continuously, and his whole body almost turned into an afterimage to shuttle in the street, relying on his intuition to constantly avoid the scorching breath.

If any of the junior master practitioners were present at this time, they would be shocked by the scene in front of them. Although Qin Ke had just entered the realm of the junior master, his speed was terrifying. Even because his movements were too fast, most passers-by could only feel When a ray of wind passed through, it brought a burst of coolness and couldn't help showing a smile.

However, no matter how fast Qin Ke was, he still couldn't avoid the scorching breath. With a "crack", the sound of the whip exploded like firecrackers, and a scorching pain spread across Qin Ke's vest.

With a muffled grunt, he lost his balance and turned into a rolling gourd. He rolled several times on the ground and even knocked down a vegetable farmer who was carrying a pick.

Qin Ke, who finally got up from the ground, gritted his teeth and felt the burning pain in his back. He also knew that not only was there no scar on his body, even his clothes were not damaged at all, but this kind of pain made him very angry, but he couldn't break out. .

"You're sick! I'm asking an ordinary question, why are you hitting me!"

It's a pity that before everyone turned their eyes away because of his yelling, he had already fled like a lost dog, and at a distance of about fifty steps, he received another invisible blow, which hurt him so much grimace in pain.

Fifty paces away.

Enduring the pain, Qin Ke, who walked back to Luo Fengchu's side, thought so. From the beginning, he could only run three steps when facing Luo Fengchu's "whip", but after these seven days of training, he became more and more The faster you run, the more steps you take.

But no matter how he grows, he has no way to avoid Luo Fengchu. It seems that unless he goes a step further in the realm of the little master, it is possible to get rid of the ubiquitous whip—of course, this must be because Luo Fengchu is in a good mood when.

The two came all the way to the door of an extraordinary restaurant. Qin Ke subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the plaque. Looking at the flamboyant words on it, his eyes lit up slightly, but the name was very ordinary, "Nanyang Restaurant".

This is Nanyang County, so it seems logical that the restaurant is called Nanyang Restaurant.

But after thinking about it, isn't this ordinary name just a kind of courage?It even vaguely makes people feel that just such a restaurant already represents all the restaurants in Nanyang County.

Luo Fengchu also stood in front of the door, her gaze changed slightly, as if she was thinking about something, after a long time, she suddenly sighed and walked into the door.

Chapter 695 Three People

Qin Ke only walked a few steps into the door, and was immediately amazed at the grand layout of Nanyang Restaurant. A large stone, which he did not know how to transport, stood in the front hall. It was more than four feet tall, like a thick mountain, and like a sword. , straight into the sky.

A huge opening was opened on the roof, and the sunlight fell on the boulder to its heart's content, washing out mottled traces. The spring water poured from the top like a waterfall, and fell into the pool along the body of the boulder. You could see a few big fish in the music Rolling and chasing in the waves.

Before noon, there were already many diners sitting in this restaurant, drinking and laughing, it was very lively.

"I'm afraid this grandeur is no worse than any restaurant in Jianye?" Although people who have been to Jicheng personally and seen the magnificent scene, it is not uncommon for people who have seen such an arrangement in the public loser, but Qin Ke still feels that The person who arranged this restaurant has such lofty ideas.

He poked his head carefully and looked at Luo Fengchu, "Is such a good restaurant very expensive? I didn't bring much money, did you bring any money? No...do you know how to use money?"

Luo Fengchu glanced at him like a fool, then walked up the stairs familiarly without saying a word.

Qin Ke followed behind with a bitter face, it wasn't that he was keeping money, it was just that being caught by Luo Fengchu this time was completely accidental, so he really didn't bring much money with him, could it be that today he wants to be like Luo Fengchu like those gangsters , eat a bully meal?

However, when ordering food, Qin Ke realized that the food in this restaurant was not that expensive, at least it was cheaper compared to Jianye, so he let out a sigh of relief, touched the silver coin in his bosom, and looked outside the railing on the third floor.

The diners drank and commented, saying that today is the time for the flood discharge, and the three upstream dams opened the gates at the same time, allowing the river to rush down, and the whole river was rolled like an angry dragon.

In the past, there were still many fishermen who made a living by fishing in this river, but in today's situation, naturally they dare not go into the water by fishing boat.

But Qin Ke squinted his eyes, and found that there was actually a small figure floating on the river in the distance. No matter how rough the river was, this person only relied on a bamboo raft and a bamboo pole to act wantonly in the river. , as stable as Mount Tai.

"Good skill." Qin Ke said in a low voice, secretly guessing how this person's cultivation is, at least if he entered the water at this time, he might not be better than this person.

Luo Fengchu naturally also noticed that person, but she just glanced at it lightly, then looked at the menu and began to order.

If ordinary people still need to think about ordering food, Luo Fengchu almost opened her mouth and came, even saying the name of each dish without any pause, a series of openings made the shop waiter sweat profusely.

"Guest officer... slow down... so much, do you eat all of it?"

Luo Fengchu didn't look at him, just paused, and then continued talking non-stop, even Qin Ke who was at the side couldn't help but stop: "It's okay, there are only two of us, what do you order so many dishes?" ?”

But in the end, Qin Ke still couldn't stop Luo Fengchu, maybe because this woman hides a crazy heart under her calm appearance, God knows if she will beat herself to death in a sudden anger, it's better not to... Open your mouth as well.

But listening to Luo Fengchu ordering so many dishes resolutely with that melodious voice, Qin Ke's face gradually became a little ugly. He touched the silver ingot in his arms with one hand, knowing that he might not be able to escape this overlord meal.

Grandmaster... no... this master of the sage realm should be able to be justified if he eats a meal for nothing, right?Qin Ke thought helplessly, and then heard Luo Fengchu's lips stop, and finally moved again: "That's it, I only remember these."

Just remember these...

Qin Ke always felt that there were some strange meanings in it, but he couldn't tell what was strange. He could only be sure that Luo Fengchu was really familiar with Nanyang, maybe he had lived in this city.

While waiting for the food, several people came up from downstairs, armed with guns and clubs, dressed in the dust, dressed as Jianghu people, and as soon as they sat down, they yelled for a few pots of wine first, and then a fat man was the first to swear, He actually took off his shoes and began to rub his feet, which made the diners beside him dare not speak out.

"I'm ignoring his uncle. The leader is so unreasonable. One letter will require people to come to Nanyang in three days. I really think that all the old men have wings on their backs."

"Fatty, look at you!" The gunman just put down his gun and frowned, "This is Nanyang Restaurant, not your one-acre land, put your stinky shoes back on!"

Of course the fat man didn't do it, and immediately widened his eyes: "Hey! Good you Meng Ya, I'm not your subordinate, I can do whatever I want, how can you reprimand me? What's wrong with Nanyang Restaurant? I love to pinch my feet in such an elegant place, just to wash away the sour smell here. Who is not convinced?"

The fat man was tall, and he was using a sledgehammer that looked very heavy. He was very sturdy, so he stood up and looked around with his small eyes, but no one dared to stand up.

The fat man snorted, sat back, and muttered: "If I hadn't come in a hurry, I still want to go to the brothel to pick up a girl to accompany the drink, what can you do?"

Meng Ya's face turned livid immediately, and he cursed: "A dog can't change eating shit."

The fat man was quite proud, looked at Meng Ya and said sarcastically: "I am not you, you were born as a general, and your ancestors were generals and high officials. I don't even know the names of my ancestors. Anyway, I love so and so. It's useless."

He rubbed his sore feet for a while, raised his head and said, "Where's big brother?"

Meng Ya was still angry, so naturally he didn't have a good face, and said through his teeth: "You ask me, who should I ask?"

The fat man laughed loudly: "Okay! At least I'll call me Laozi in front of me, otherwise I really don't want to sit at the same table with you, an elegant person."

At this time, hearty laughter came from the stairs, and someone on the stairs walked up steadily: "You still have to sit at the same table, fat man, you should also change your temper, learn from others, and spend more time at leisure." Read a few books."

The two stood up at the same time, and saw a person appearing from the stairs. This person was wearing a bamboo hat and hanging a fish basket. His appearance was very ordinary. He should be a fisherman.

The two brows were beaming with joy, and they shouted together: "Brother!"

The fisherman smiled and nodded: "Very well, Meng Ya hasn't changed much, but the fat man has gained weight again. It seems that there has been a lot of oil and water transported by water in the past few years."

"It's not thanks to big brother."

Sitting at the side, Qin Ke could clearly see that the man in the bamboo hat was the man he saw floating on the river just now, but he didn't expect this man to be so fast, let alone the two Jiang Hu Big brother of people.

water transport?Qin Ke has read the relevant files in the school affairs office, and knows that this industry is specialized in water transport, and even transports official food in many cases. Sailors are spread all over the place, and various gangs have been formed over the years.

Presumably these three people are members of this kind of water gang.

Qin Ke speculated.

Fortunately, it's not too windy in this building today, and walking through the hall can take away the fat man's foot odor, so he didn't feel much discomfort while sitting, and because Luo Fengchu had been sitting in a daze, she didn't dare to disturb her , I can only listen to other people's affairs for fun.

The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, before they sat down, the straight-tempered fat man asked in a loud voice, "Brother, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry? I still have a lot of boats to go out, but such a letter was delayed." Well, I don't care, the gang leader can't come up with any good explanations, I'm going to order the 'landslide' hammer in his collection as an apology."

"As long as you talk too much, you won't suffer at all." Meng Ya sneered.

The fat man frowned, but he was stopped by the fisherman with a smile and waved his hand, and said: "You mentioned that thing to me last time, and the boss also told me this time, as long as the errands are done, it doesn't matter if I give it to you. What a big deal."

"Really?" Fatty finally became interested, "Then tell me quickly, the leader is eager to recruit us, is he planning to do something big? Is it a fight with eight hands? This time not only robbed Lao Tzu of his business, but also injured Lao Tzu's people..."

Chapter 696 Carp

"Okay." The fisherman took a sip of his wine and found that the fat man was still chattering for nothing, so he had no choice but to hold down the dancing fat man.

"The matter this time has nothing to do with the eight hands. Although the eight hands are troublesome, they can't cross the river north. At most, it can be regarded as an elbow and armpit problem, and it won't hurt our fundamentals." The fisherman said serious business. Get up, "The leader of the gang has encountered a difficult situation this time. A few days ago, Mr. Ba was said to be involved in a case in the court. He was dismissed from his official position and recalled to Jianye. Now the new Mr. Gong probably thinks that our old boat gang is not a direct descendant. I also want to share more oil and water, so I want to let others do the water transportation."

"What?" Meng Ya's face suddenly changed, he certainly knew what would happen to a Jianghu gang like them who depended on water transportation for a living, once they lost their jobs.

Meng Ya was still thinking, but the fat man was already yelling: "These dog officials, I know they have a big appetite. We have worked so hard for so many years to support this shelf, but they want to change people at a word? Then let us help There are so many brothers up and down, are they going to drink the northwest wind?"

He scolded loudly, and he didn't know it was because of his fat body. He stomped his foot on the ground and shocked the diners around him, but this time, even Meng Ya didn't stop his roar, just sat aside and clenched his hands tightly. Looking at the double guns on the side, his eyes were full of hostility.

The fat man took a deep breath, looked at the fisherman and said solemnly: "Brother, just say, what do you want my brother to do? As long as you say a word, brother, even if I lead someone into the yamen, I have to kill that dog official. Let them know that our old boat gang is not vegetarian!"

The fisherman was also a little helpless by the fat man's surprise, so he kept telling him to calm down, and at the same time poured him a large bowl of wine to shut his mouth: "Don't be too quick to get angry. It’s not that there is no turning point, besides, even if you rush in and kill Mr. Gong, what’s the use? That’s a hand-picked court official, not a little guy like Eight Hands.”

As he said that, the fisherman tapped on the table and said in a more emphatic tone: "Fortunately, Mr. Gong is not the only one who has the final say on this matter. Several other adults objected. Mr. Gong is not easy to fight with shame, but he never If you are willing to give up, you still choose someone, and you want them to compete with us."

"How to fight?" Meng Ya asked.

"Of course we fight according to the rules on the river." The fisherman sneered, giving off a cold breath, "The prime minister is a talented man, he calmed Jiangnan and established Jingwu, and we have a stable life. We haven't fought much against people, so others They all thought that we were easy to be bullied. But if you want to make a living on this river, it is not enough to rely on the adults to just say a few words. Talking about starting a business, even doing some work on the pier is unthinkable!"

After saying a word, the fisherman picked up the wine bowl and drank it down in one gulp. The bowl made a crisp sound when it hit the table, which made the blood of Fatty and Meng Ya boil.

"That's good." Fatty is a boisterous man by nature, and instead of being afraid of such things, he is even more excited. Fists, knives and guns work! Brother, who is that bastard who is arguing with us? I need to meet him."

Meng Ya also nodded slightly.

Seeing that he and his brothers could work together like this, the fisherman felt a little proud, smiled and said, "Nanyang Luojia."

Qin Ke's pupils shrank suddenly.

At this time, the dishes were brought over one after another, carefully put down from the waiter's hands, and placed next to each other on the table like a blooming peony.

Qin Ke ordered three bowls of rice, picked up a bowl and began to pick up vegetables. Oil stars splashed slightly in the air, and he seemed to be eating happily.

Luo Fengchu, who was sitting across from him, was completely the opposite, she just slightly stretched out her chopsticks to pick up bits and pieces of each dish, put them into her flaming red lips, and chewed carefully, her eyes once again revealed that A reminiscence-like color.

Qin Ke didn't know what she was remembering, nor what kind of past she had in Nanyang, so he could only pretend not to see it, so as not to cause trouble to his upper body.

The waiter was out of breath from running back and forth until most of the dishes were served, and then he said to Qin Ke and Luo Fengchu apologetically: "Guest officer, I'm really sorry, the river is open to release water today. We couldn’t go into the water, and our boss refused to use the fish from outside vendors, saying that if it was not freshly caught fish, it would damage the signboard of our building, so today’s braised carp can’t be served. If the guests really want to eat it, tomorrow At noon, I will keep one for you."

Luo Fengchu didn't speak, Qin Ke was already very satisfied with the dishes on the table, and he also knew that this meal was mostly free, so he naturally smiled and waved his hands, letting the waiter leave.

And the guy finished talking at this table, and went to the table of the three brothers just now, and said what he had just said, with sincerity.

But the fat man didn't buy it, and immediately yelled loudly: "What? No more fish? I came all the way here, and finally you have a rest in the building. You want to eat the most famous braised carp in your building. Tell me No? I don’t care, why don’t you ask your boss to fish in the river now, anyway, I must eat carp today.”

The guy was a little afraid of the fat man, and he kept apologizing: "I really don't have this... Look, there's no carp on the table for those who came here for dinner today..."

The fat man shouted angrily again, "If no carp came to this table today, believe it or not, I would smash your building right now?"

"Fatty, don't cause trouble, the background of this building is not small." The fisherman comforted the fatty, and at the same time untied the fish basket from his waist, and said with a casual smile: "Normal people can't get into the water at this time, but I knew you were coming today, so I took a trip into the water first. Although the water flow was fast, it was the best time, and this guy couldn't stay still and jumped out."

The guy was startled for a moment, then he took a look at the fish basket and exclaimed, "Ah... this is... a golden carp?"

The diners around listened and leaned over one after another, and saw that the waiter took out a big and fat carp from the fish basket. Unlike ordinary carp, this carp was still strong and powerful after being dehydrated for such a long time. Every fish scale is shining with golden light, the man can hardly lift it.

The golden carp was slippery, and the man was about to stuff it back into the basket, but the fish leaped into the air all of a sudden, and flew towards the outside of the fence...

But before it crossed the railing and re-entered the river, the fisherman threw out the fishing rod with one hand, and the almost invisible fishing line grabbed the carp as if it had eyes, and immediately wrapped more than a dozen entanglements around the fish. , and threw it back into the basket.

"This guy is very cunning. He has already developed spiritual wisdom. In a hundred years, he might grow into a wicked dragon in this river." The fisherman laughed.

The fat man just saw the fish soaring into the air, his heart was hanging in his throat, now he calmed down, and he lost his temper again, cursing at the guy: "Hurry up and do it? He almost gave away the demon fish that our elder brother caught so hard!" If you lose it, if you make it tasteless, I will have to demolish the building."

Naturally, the guy kept nodding his head in embarrassment, and at the same time showed joy, knowing that this kind of fish is very rare, the owner must be very happy to see it, and even rewarded him with a lot of money, so he happily prepared to go downstairs to the back kitchen.

He never thought that before he took the first step, he suddenly felt numb in his legs and feet, and fell to his knees.

"I want this carp." Luo Fengchu said calmly as she was still sitting on the chair.

Sitting across from Qin Ke, he couldn't help but smile wryly, knowing that something had happened. He had already had a bad premonition when the three of them mentioned "Nanyang Luo Family" just now. Now it seems that his guess was correct.

Luo Fengchu didn't really want that fish, but just found a reason to find trouble for those three people.

Chapter 697 Conflict

Qin Ke didn't even try to prevent the conflict from happening, or in other words, he had no ability to stop it at all, and the situation in the restaurant suddenly became tense.

"Who am I? It turned out to be a girl. She looks pretty good. What's the matter? I dislike the weakness of the little white face opposite, and I want to find an upright man to relieve my boredom? I just need someone in my arms. This fish, why not?" Uncle feeds you with his own mouth?"

The three of them were all from fighting and killing in the rivers and lakes, and they worked in the business of water transport, so they had a bandit spirit, especially the fat man, who was the most conspicuous about Luo Fengchu's sudden request. Naturally, it is impossible to be satisfied.

The fat man had no fear, his eyes sized up Luo Fengchu's faintly radiant face presumptuously, and he couldn't hide a somewhat lustful smile.

Before the words were finished, the diners around were already laughing along.

Sitting at the side, Qin Ke wanted to open his mouth to ease the atmosphere, but when he heard the fat man's words, he immediately covered his forehead and his eyes went dark.

After taking a deep breath, he consciously or unintentionally moved one hand into his bosom, touching the handle of the dagger, as if he was ready to do something at any time.

Luo Fengchu was still sitting on the chair with no expression on her face, she just slowly looked at the three of them, there seemed to be glazed brilliance flowing quietly in her beautiful eyes.

The fat man still didn't know what kind of terrifying existence was sitting in front of him, and he still had a playful smile on his face: "What's the matter? Seeing how mighty and majestic the uncle is, I can't even speak? Wasn't it quite..."

There was a crackling sound like thunder in the flat ground!
