Chapter 488 Interlude

But the disadvantage is that,

Whenever the people in the martial arts world disagree, they will fight.

If they were in the Central Plains, the people in the martial arts world would be more restrained and maintain the basic rules of the martial arts world.

But in this northwestern border area, there are fewer constraints and no scruples.

Fortunately, although they fought, they did not dare to cause death openly.

After all, do you really think that the soldiers of the Western Army guarding this place are vegetarians?

This thought flashed through Lin Chen's mind, and he chuckled and threw two taels of silver to the waiter, which made the latter very happy.

This meal cost only one and a half taels of money.

The rest was a reward from this generous young master!

Lin Chen poured himself a bowl of the fine wine that the store owner said was famous in the city, and his eyebrows raised slightly.

As soon as the wine came out of the jar, it exuded a strong aroma of wine, refreshing the heart and soul.

It can be seen that this store owner did not brag about himself, and his wine was indeed a little tricky.

Speaking of which.

Before Lin Chen came here in his previous life, he didn't like drinking.

But when he came to this martial arts world, he felt like adapting to the local customs.

After all, for ordinary people, the martial arts world is about taking revenge, drinking and eating meat.

After a long time, he also liked the comfort of a small drink.

The food in this restaurant is also outstanding. There is no shortage of beef and mutton in the northwest. The mutton is soft and the beef is strong.

Although Lin Chen, as a Taoist priest of Zifu, does not need to fill his stomach with food, he is willing to satisfy his appetite.

After eating.

Lin Chen quietly pricked up his ears and listened to the conversation in the store.

Especially the guests at the next two tables, they carried swords and knives on their waists, and seemed to be filled with an indescribable fierceness. They were obviously martial artists.

Although these people deliberately lowered their voices, they could not hide from Lin Chen's ears.

Only one person said: "The Ming Cult is so cruel. I heard that a third-rate sect was wiped out by them the day before yesterday, and more than 30 disciples in the sect were not spared!"

"Hehe, in this battle between good and evil, do you still expect the Ming Cult to hold back?" Another person responded coldly.

"That's not what I mean. I just advise you not to rush in. It won't be too late to make plans after the big sects like Wudang and Shaolin arrive."

"Brother Qi is right. If you continue to go deep into the territory of the Ming Cult, you may be in danger of your life. By then, you may die on the way and no one will know."

Lin Chen looked calm and ate his food as if he hadn't heard anything.

Amid the chaotic conversation, there were whispers that made his ears move slightly.

"Do you know Yin Tianzheng, the leader of the Sky Eagle Sect?"

"How can I not know? I heard rumors in the martial arts world that the White-browed Eagle King also intends to compete for the position of the leader of the Ming Sect!"

"I am not talking about this. Do you know that the White-browed Eagle King's daughter and grandson?"

"Oh? What you are talking about is..."

In the Wudang incident, Zhang Cuishan's suicide caused a great uproar in the martial arts world, and the evaluation of it was mixed.

Different from the original book is.

Yin Susu originally planned to commit suicide and follow Zhang Cuishan, but was stopped by the White-browed Eagle King.

After being taken back to the Sky Eagle Sect, this once notorious demon sect witch is likely to return to the martial arts world.

It is said that the death rate of the disciples and elders of the righteous sects who forced Zhang Cuishan to death in Wudang has increased sharply in recent days.

Some people have linked these things with Yin Susu, making this former demon sect witch once again the focus of the martial arts world.

However, Lin Chen is more curious about Zhang Wuji.

The protagonist in the original book grew up in Wudang and was deeply loved by Zhang Sanfeng.

Now he followed his mother to the Sky Eagle Sect and became a member of the evil sect that everyone wanted to kill. I don’t know what his fate will be in the future.

While thinking, Lin Chen drank the wine in the bowl, and seeing that there was still half a jar of wine, he planned to leave.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the waiter suddenly yelled.

"Hey, how can you go in, little beggar? Is this a place you can come to?!"

"Ouch!"

The waiter, who was originally aggressive, was suddenly hit by a force, screamed in pain, and staggered back.

Then a ragged, slender figure walked around him and went to the second floor, muttering: "Humph, you look down on me, can't I afford to pay?"

The waiter, who was grinning and jumping, froze when he heard this, and forced a smile: "I say, my guest, you don't need to go to the second floor to eat in your outfit, there are still empty seats on the first floor."

Obviously.

This is because he dislikes the little beggar's tattered clothes, which hinders the eyes of the distinguished guests on the second floor.

"Humph, go and prepare good wine and meat for me, and you will definitely get some benefits!" The beggar snorted coldly, took out a delicate purse from his arms, and threw out a five-liang silver ingot.

The waiter's eyes lit up when he saw the silver, and he subconsciously bit it.

Real silver!

Who would have thought that this beggar was a distinguished person? !

The waiter was about to smile and apologize when he heard a shouting from outside the street.

Just look.

A middle-aged man with a round belly and a big head, dressed in brocade, who looked like a rich man, led a group of servants and rushed into the store aggressively:

"Quick, go catch that beggar, that kid stole my purse!"

The waiter was stunned and subconsciously muttered: "Isn't this Mr. Wang from the south city? What's going on today?"

When the little beggar saw the person coming, he subconsciously shrank his neck and wanted to sneak to the second floor.

But he didn't expect that he was caught by Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang's face turned red in an instant, and he pointed at the little beggar angrily and shouted:

"That's the little thief, go and catch him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several capable men around him headed towards the second floor of the wine shop.

Seeing this scene, the waiter in the shop already understood.

The money bag in the little beggar's hand must belong to someone other than Yuan Wang!

interesting.

Lin Chen looked at the little beggar sneaking closer to him for some reason, and an inexplicable chuckle appeared at the corner of his mouth.

That's true.

Compared to the gang of savage-looking businessmen on the second floor, or the shrewd-looking businessmen in business uniforms, he, this young and handsome young master from a wealthy family, makes people feel safer.

For a time, the wine shop became lively, and many diners who were watching the excitement looked up.

"Little thief, let's see where you can run!"

The king was panting and yelling, and at the same time he waved to the servant beside him and said, "Hurry and catch him, and then he will be taken to the Yamen!"

As soon as these words came out, the little beggar who hid the money bag behind his back suddenly became the focus of everyone.

"Pooh!"

The little beggar who was surrounded was not afraid at all, but became even more imposing:

"The white jade pendant I sold to your pawnshop is worth five hundred taels. You can only give me fifty taels if you wish. It's shameless to default on the things I gave you!"

As he said this, the beggar made a face towards the king.

"It's a joke. I found out that the white jade pendant was lost by a large family in the county. I'm afraid it was stolen by you too!"

Wang Yuanwai was unmoved and just sneered.

"you!"

The little beggar obviously didn't expect the other party to be so shameless, and suddenly felt a little angry.

That white jade pendant is hers!

If I hadn’t brought much money with me before coming out, I wouldn’t have pawned the jewelry for money.

But I didn't expect to meet this unreasonable guy.

Not only did he take away the jade pendant, but he also planned to beat him up!

It’s really shameless!
