Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty Four: Together
Even though Xu Long had already pulled Ange away, who was pounced on Mingxi at the first time, Mingxi was still secretly shocked. The young man had strong muscles and a sharp weapon in the shape of a dagger on his waist, like a martial arts practitioner.
Ange also felt a sharp edge at the same time. The guy looked weak, but there seemed to be an invisible layer of power around him, which was completely different from the magic and spiritual power he had come into contact with. He himself couldn't tell what that feeling was.
Kunhong hurriedly helped Mingxi up. After Ange overthrew the Eight Immortals Banquet, the exquisite dishes and precious white jade plates fell to the ground. He first looked at the young man who suddenly rushed up. His skin was dark and slightly brown, and his clothes were as if they were dressed like a common sand bandit in the sunset desert. Aning also quickly followed him and picked up Ange and bowed to apologize. She felt her scalp numb and wanted to beat the guy up. It was at all critical moments. They couldn't afford to eat by themselves, and they even knocked over the Eight Immortals Banquet. Where did she go to grab the money to pay for the table of wine and food?
Mingxi patted the hem of her clothes, which were covered with large pieces of oil stains. Kunhong looked around for a few times, just looking for an excuse to take him away. He immediately said, "Why don't you go back to the camp to change into clean clothes first? I'll ask someone to prepare some refreshments so you won't be hungry."
Mingxi waved his hand, and it seemed that he didn't know Kun Hongsu at all, and he refused indifferently: "General Kun has already sent me to Liucheng for no reason, so I don't bother with the rest of the matter. I see that the city is busy, and the three of them have been delayed by me, so I should go back as soon as possible."
The three of them looked at each other, not just leaving or staying.
Ange covered his throat and frowned slightly. The nausea just now had not completely dissipated, but when he saw the attitude of Kun Hong and the other two, the doubts in his heart became heavier and heavier.
"Young Master is okay?" Before Ange could figure out what was wrong with this, Mingxi took the initiative to stretch out his hand to him and said with a smile. Ange looked at the slightly pale face in a daze, and then the hand that reached out to him was also thin and could crush it. Aning saw that he was standing stupidly and didn't apologize, so he raised his hand and pressed his forehead to force Ange down, smiling awkwardly: "I'm sorry! He, he had been hungry for several days, and it was not easy to eat rice. He choked at all of a hurry, and then...and then he accidentally..."
Aning grinned extremely reluctantly, and didn't know what he was talking nonsense. Mingxi listened patiently, and the smile on his face became gentler. Aning was stunned for a moment before he heard the other party's gentle response: "Are you hungry? Yes, Yang Chuan has experienced the fragmentation disaster, and there are so many insufficient supplies. Let's do this, the store owner, I will pay all the money I just did, and then go and get some food for this young master."
"No, no!" Ange shook his head like a rattle, and his face was gloomy and gloomy, "I don't eat the meat here. Who knows what it was cut off from his body, it's disgusting!"
The waiter gave him a blank look. Although their Baxian Village is famous for its "food", it is not without normal ingredients to entertain ordinary guests. This guy openly ruined the situation. Could it be that he didn't know that this is the territory of Master Liu Er's territory?
A hint of admiration gradually appeared on Mingxi's face, then sighed softly, smiled suddenly, and said softly: "Then let me give you two bowls of beef noodles, which is also included in my account."
"Hey, what do you mean?" Ange looked at him unhappily. Although he was a sand bandit who made a living by robbing, he robbed every dollar himself. Wouldn't this kind of food given to him insult him? The more he thought about it, he felt uncomfortable. When he was about to continue muttering, Aning covered his mouth with a slap, kicked it to the chair next to him, and then laughed happily, saying, "Then it's better to obey your orders than respect. Thank you for your hospitality."
Ange stared at her unwillingly. Aning walked over unhappily and whispered: "We have no money long ago. If you can have a meal, you are still stubborn!"
Ange was speechless by her words, so she could only hum a few times. Mingxi found it interesting, but after all, Kunhong and the other two stood next to each other and were very restrained, so they waved their hands slightly to signal them to leave.
Kunhong dared not leave? Not to mention that the Eight Immortals Village is famous for slaughtering customers. Just the man and woman dressed in a sand bandit in front of him made him dare not take it lightly.
Seeing that they were still hesitating, Mingxi shook his head slightly and said nothing more, but those eyes accidentally flew across everyone's cheeks. Kun Hong took a deep breath, knowing that he would make him angry if he disobeyed his fate, so he could only cough a few times and replied: "You are right, that... Xiao Tang, Xu Long, go back with me first."
As soon as he walked out of the Eight Immortals Village, Kunhong's hand holding the sword could not help but tremble violently. He still looked back worriedly and whispered: "Xiao Tang, transfer the fourth and fifth teams of the Golden Crow Bird back to guard Liucheng strictly. If your Majesty really wants to go to Liutu Mountain, you must tell me in time."
"Yes." The two deputy generals also knew that the matter was of great importance and did not dare to take it lightly. Kunhong asked the two to go back first, but he quietly turned into the uninhabited alley and found a convenient angle to observe and guarded them secretly.
At Baxian Village, Mingxi was so inexplicably sitting on the same table. The waiter brought two bowls of hot beef noodles. Ange couldn't help swallowing several salivas in a row. He looked at it for a while, but he still pretended to be reserved and refused. Seeing the person's smile, he finally grabbed his head and ate it with shame. After this bowl, Ange touched his belly with satisfaction. He immediately changed his mind to Mingxi a lot, and even his tone became rude like an old friend: "Is a foreigner? He ordered the 'Eight Immortals Banquet' when he spoke. Do you really don't know what it is, or do you want to try it?"
Aning was still drinking soup, but when he heard his invisible question, he almost squirted out. He quickly kicked Ange with his feet a few times, winking.
Mingxi habitually turned the jade ring in his hand, thought for a while before replying, "I heard from people who mentioned that it was the raw material for the 'Eight Immortals Banquet', which was taken from the only eight aliens left in the 'Twelve Immortals Forty-Eight Ancestors'. I am really curious that those aliens rarely appear in seclusion for many years. Even if they will lead tourists to arrest them, they will most likely not be easily succeeded. So is this so-called 'raw material' true or false? If it is true, where does it come from? If it is false, then what is it?"
Ange suddenly heard him talk about such a dangerous topic, and suddenly felt shocked and took a step toward him. He immediately felt pressure all over his body, and even his consciousness woke up immediately. He lowered his voice and reminded: "It seems that the guy is really an outsider. It doesn't matter to us. You can't mention it openly in such a place. There are people with tigers and snakes everywhere. If you are not careful, you will be in trouble. Maybe you can't even walk out of the door and you will become a meal on the plate..."
Seeing his serious face, Mingxi thought silently for a moment and said in a low voice: "Have you encountered any difficulties? I still have some money on me. If I don't dislike it, would I be willing to walk with me for the time being?"
"Ah?" Ange looked at him in amazement. No, no! Can pies really fall from the sky? He was thinking about how to rob him a few minutes ago, but now he didn't notice it and even took the initiative to get together?
"Uh..." Aning also pinched his hands awkwardly. Mingxi had actually seen that these two people were not simple. They were mostly sand bandits who had been rampant in the Sunset Desert for many years. However, he still casually pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled casually, looking for excuses: "I was rescued by General Kun in danger in the desert. I am also unfamiliar with each other. I think the two seem to be skilled. At the moment, Liucheng is mixed with fish and dragons. I am just trying to find a few guards to defend themselves. Of course, the reward is not small."
Mingxi took out his purse and threw it to Ange directly. Ange took a deep breath, then looked straight into his eyes and confirmed it again. Then he asked in disbelief: "Brother, I was eavesdropping on you just now. You said that Tianlu Business Store belongs to your cousin's house. Could it be that it is Luo Ling?"
"Oh..." Mingxi thought for a while. He hadn't seen Luo Ling for a long time. He couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with me... what's wrong with my cousin? Do you know each other?"
Ange grinned with a slight smile. He couldn't be considered aware of Tianlu Trading Company. He just snatched other people's goods a few times, but he was rich and did not care too much about them. In fact, Tianlu Trading Company was hit by the Five Snakes industry in Yangchuan. Even if Jingge secretly supported it, it still didn't improve. But he didn't know anything else, at least he knew that he was indeed a wealthy person. Now that he happened to meet him so by chance, he still solved his urgent needs so generously, and it was inevitable that he was a little embarrassed.
Mingxi felt something. He remembered Ange's previous disgust for "dishes", and suddenly felt a stern in his heart. He deliberately lowered his voice and said riskingly: "This young man, I'm not to hide it. My cousin has been intentional in Yangchuan for development, but unfortunately he has been obstructed by the Five Snakes and was overwhelmed by him. I originally wanted to come and help him, but I was in a broken and natural disaster on the way. Then I came to Liucheng. Since he came, he would be at peace. I heard that Liucheng is the territory of Liu Hu, the "tiger snake" Liu Hu. I wonder if you have any news about Mr. Liu?"
Ange blinked in surprise, and grabbed Mingxi's hand with a heat, clenched hard: "So you are here to deal with Liu Hu? Why didn't you say earlier? That guy just chopped my sister-in-law one leg and peeled the ribs alive from her. I was about to settle the score with him..."
Before he finished speaking, Aning kicked over again, staring at Ange who was unspoken in a daze. How could he tell such a thing to an unknown person when he first met? If this guy was the enemy, wouldn’t they expose their purpose and immediately be in crisis?
Mingxi was excited, but he didn't expect that the sand bandit in front of him would be so easy to deceive. Then, his eyes suddenly became hot. He also held Ange's hand hard, and looked straight at the other party's earnest gaze and said firmly: "I didn't expect that the young master and I were actually fellow travelers, but I don't know how to do it. If there are any financial needs, you can speak directly. In addition, I also know some high-ranking officials and powerful people..."
Ange then breathed a sigh of relief, and his body, which had been tense, slowly relaxed. At this moment, his eyes were looking at Mingxi without squinting. He always felt that there was a golden light flashing in his brown pupils, making his body hot. He didn't know where the trust came from, but suddenly he believed in the weak young master in front of him.
He has a temperament that ordinary people do not have, like the rising sun of birth, which makes people unable to control themselves and want to get close to it.
