It is said that the people I protect are admired by the Six Realms

Bai Moqian jumped to the ground, turned back into a human form, and was about to move forward when Li Shao grabbed his collar, "What are you doing?"

"Follow me." Bai Moqian turned around, raised his hand to grab Li Shao's sleeve, and blinked.

Li Shao followed Bai Moqian through the crowd and stopped at an intersection.

I saw a field five steps wide and four steps long surrounded by a wooden fence. On the field stood two shiny roosters, and a pennant with a red background and a black border was inserted in the field, with the words "fighting cock" embroidered on it.

Li Shao's brows twitched, and he muttered inwardly that something was wrong, he regretted that he bought a rabbit to stimulate Bai Moqian.

Standing in the northwest corner of the arena was a tall and thick man, holding a yellow flag high in his right hand. The cockfighters stood on the east and west sides, and the bets were placed in the northeast and northwest corners, under the supervision of special personnel.

The man's tongue curled slightly, and he blew out a long whistle.As the tail sound dissipated into the air, he chopped down the yellow flag in his hand.

The rooster standing on the east side is bigger in size, its dark green feathers are shiny in the sun, and its scarlet comb is wide open. Put it on the back and brush up a layer of dust.

The rooster in the west is covered with red feathers, and its claws are golden yellow. It is strong and powerful. It stretches its neck, looks at its opponent intently, and flaps its wings from time to time.

Neither cock is acting rashly, they are testing each other.Suddenly, there was a cheer from the crowd, and the long-tailed rooster spread its wings and jumped up, its claws hooked together, and its sharp beak quickly pecked at the red-feathered rooster.

The red-feathered rooster gave a "clack" sound, and didn't choose to retreat. He stretched his neck and knocked against the beak of the long-tailed rooster.

There was constant applause on the field, the two roosters were fighting, and the dust was flying all over the sky. Bai Moqian was dazzled by the sight, his eyes were filled with bright red and green and flapping wings, and he was clutching his sleeves nervously.

About an hour later, the red-feathered rooster was exhausted and defeated, and the long-tailed rooster let out a long crow, pacing the field arrogantly, swearing his victory.

The people on the field were half happy and half sad, and those standing in the west stomped their feet in frustration.

"Hey, look, that long-tailed one has grown a lot in size. If I knew it, it would have overwhelmed the east."

"I've told you to press the east side, but if you don't listen, it's over now, you'll lose everything!"

The man standing in the northwest corner clapped his hands, knelt down and counted the bets on the west side, "haha" smiled and said: "Don't be depressed, everyone, we still have another round, the long tail will fight the red crown, everyone Place your bets here!"

After saying this, a cockfighter standing on the west side hesitated for a while, his eyes stayed on the green rooster on the field for a while, he gritted his teeth, and took out the silver from the purse, "I pressed the long tail, two taels. "

The crowd began to boil—

"I press the red crown, five taels!"

"Long Tail, ten taels!"

Suddenly, a clear voice came from the crowd, "100 taels—"

Everyone was shocked, and they all followed the prestige. Bai Moqian was restrained by everyone's stare. He put down his raised left hand, scratched the back of his head, smiled embarrassedly and said, "100 taels of silver, I want to buy it." That long-tailed rooster."

The man sized up Bai Moqian, his eyeballs rolled around, and he stepped forward, very embarrassed, "Guest officer, this is a cockfighting ground, we don't sell chickens, if you like to grow At the end, you can bet on winning or losing."

Bai Moqian was silent for a while, he turned his head to look at the white rabbit in Li Shao's arms, and shook his head, "No, I just want to buy this rooster, 100 taels."

The man pretended to be reluctant, "This long tail is our signature. I didn't sell it at first, but the spectator liked it so much, so I reluctantly gave it up once. It costs 500 taels of silver. If it's less, I won't sell it!"

Everyone was in an uproar, 500 taels of silver for a rooster, isn't this clearly a bully?

Bai Moqian pursed his thin lips, turned around and looked back at Li Shao, with bright eyes, and whispered, "Can you buy it for me? I owe the bill first."

Li Shao looked down at him for a while, and after a while, he smiled helplessly, and took out a kit from his sleeve.

Bai Moqian took it, and untied the rope to see that it was full of golden gold. He reached out and touched two pieces from the inside, and opened his hand to the man, "Here, is it enough?"

The man's eyes were straightened, and his tiger eyes were fixed on the kit bag in Bai Moqian's hand, "Enough is enough, we have a more powerful rooster here, do you want to have a look at it again, guest officer?"

Bai Moqian put away the kit, he shook his head, pointed at the long tail, "No, that's all."

The man hurriedly ordered someone to tie up the long tail, and held it in front of Bai Moqian with both hands.

Bai Moqian seemed a little afraid of the rooster, he dodged back, stretched his arms to hold the rope, and left with the long tail stiffly.

Li Shao followed him for a while, seeing that Bai Moqian was really scared, he raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Are you afraid? Carry it for me."

Bai Moqian tried his best to keep his expression unchanged, but Li Shao still saw through. He shook his head stubbornly, and brought the cock closer, "Who, who is afraid? I just think it's dirty."

"Why spend so much money on this thing?" Li Shao stretched out his hand and grabbed Bai Moqian who was still walking forward, slightly frowned, "Finding guilt for myself?"

"I like it. You are only allowed to buy rabbits as toys, but I am not allowed to buy roosters?" Bai Moqian stopped and said with a straight face. He looked up and saw that they were standing in front of an inn.

Li Shao gave a "tsk", with a displeased expression on his face, he raised his hand and touched the center of his eyebrows, then turned and walked towards the inn.

The owner of the inn greeted Li Shao with a smile. After saluting Li Shao respectfully, he took the two of them to the private room on the second floor.

"Master Bai, I'll take the pet for you." The innkeeper smiled and pointed to the rooster in Bai Moqian's hand.

"Leave him alone, he will carry it if he likes, and send a wooden cage to his room to prepare the rooster's food." Li Shao glanced at Bai Moqian, and he pushed the door into the bedroom with the rabbit in his arms.

Bai Moqian pursed his lips, he was still thinking about the plan he had thought up, so he hurriedly walked into Li Shao's bedroom.

He put the rooster on the ground, pointed to the rabbit in Li Shao's arms and said, "Pets should stay with pets, put the rabbit down quickly, don't hold it all day long."

Li Shao raised his eyebrows and looked up at Bai Moqian.

Suddenly a little curious, what does this silly rabbit want to do when he buys a rooster that he is afraid of.

At that moment, he shrugged, bent slightly, put the white rabbit on the ground, scratched the rabbit's back, "Go."

The white rabbit jumped to Bai Moqian's feet.

The innkeeper brought up the wooden cage. Seeing this, Bai Moqian waved to him, "Bring it here and put it in his room."

"Master Bai, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." The innkeeper trembled visibly, glanced at Li Shao, and shook his head quickly.

Li Shao is a pure and holy person, how can he put such filth in his room?

"Put it down." Li Shao sat down on the teak chair, and tapped the table with his slender fingers.

"Okay, okay." The innkeeper pursed his thin lips. He looked at Bai Moqian in surprise, lowered his head, and put the wooden cage as far away from Li Shao as possible. The rooster and the white rabbit shut in.

After finishing these, the innkeeper exited the bedroom, Li Shao poured two cups of warm tea, looked up at Bai Moqian, "Speaking of which, why buy a rooster?"

Bai Moqian pursed his thin lips, and he glanced at the wooden cage. The white rabbit and the rooster got along very well, "It's not for any reason, it's just for fun."

Li Shao picked up the teacup and took a sip. He looked at Bai Moqian quietly for a while, then raised his eyebrows helplessly, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it."

Not long after, the innkeeper brought up the dishes, glazed eggplant, Buddha jumping over the wall, braised lion's head, eight chickens in spring, emerald longan... The table was full of signature dishes, and Bai Moqian sat down at the table , looking at the innkeeper Bu Cai.

"What is this?" Bai Moqian pointed to a black teak bottle held by the innkeeper.

"This is our Jiangling specialty wine. It's called 'Shenpin Yufuliang'. It's very strong. If you drink too much, you will get drunk." The innkeeper introduced it proudly.

As soon as Bai Moqian heard his thoughts turn, he glanced at Li Shao, this person usually only drinks light tea, he must not be strong enough to drink, if he is coaxed to drink a cup of Yufuliang, when Li Shao is drunk, he can drink from him. It's a cliché.

With such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Bai Moqian would take advantage of whatever he said, clapping his hands and laughing, "This is good, this is good, I like to drink!"

Hearing this, Li Shao looked up at Bai Moqian, and sighed inaudibly.

The innkeeper prepared the dishes, said "Sir, take it easy" and left.

Bai Moqian pulled out the cork and poured a full cup into Li Shao's cup, "Come on, I'll toast you."

Li Shao looked at Bai Moqian with a strange expression, and said, "Do you really want to drink?"

"Yes, yes." Bai Moqian nodded repeatedly, raised his glass and raised his chin.

"Okay." Li Shao sighed, pinched the wine glass with his index finger and middle finger, raised his head and drank it down.

This was the first time Bai Moqian saw Li Shao drinking, and saw his Adam's apple twitching slightly, his light-colored thin lips turned red because of some wine, his eyes were bright, his slender index finger was holding the wine glass, and his whole body was transparent. With an indescribable sense of chic.

Bai Moqian's heart twitched slightly, he put his lips to the edge of the wine glass, and glanced at Li Shao, who was looking at him, and drank the wine quickly and neatly.

The two came and went, half a bottle of wine was down, but Li Shao remained calm, his face was as usual, showing no sign of being drunk.

Bai Moqian was anxious, so he changed to a larger glass and poured wine for the two of them. After drinking a glass, he felt dizzy.

"Stop drinking." Li Shao stretched out his hand to hold Bai Moqian's hand, shook his head, "You're drunk."

"I'm not drunk."

Bai Moqian staggered to his feet, he walked towards Li Shao with a wine glass in his hand, he couldn't hold his hand firmly, the wine spilled out and spilled all over the two of them, the mellow aroma of the wine was lingering.

"Drink, drink quickly. When you're drunk, I have something to tell you." Bai Moqian handed the wine glass to Li Shao's lips, and he almost couldn't open his dizzy eyes.

"Ah Mo, don't make trouble." Li Shao grabbed Bai Moqian's wrist, and took the wine glass away from him.

"Are you drunk? I have something to tell you." Bai Moqian tilted his head, he looked at Li Shao, blinked, why are there two Li Shao?

Li Shao stood up and supported Bai Moqian who was about to fall, and wiped off the wine stains from the corner of his lips with his hand, "I'm drunk, go ahead, what do you want to say?"
