Chapter 29 Conflict(1/2)
Cui Sike's face was indeed very bad at this time. Bai Shier could feel this even if the distance was a little far away.
But Bai Shier didn't know the reason.
But what he was sure of was that this matter was related to the seven or eight people who looked like a coolie dress and just walked into the inn.
So, he decided to follow and see what happened.
...
"What is your purpose at this time?!"
Bai Shier didn't know the identities of these seven or eight people, but Cui Sike was obviously aware of it. It can be said that the reason why he was so anxious before was the root cause of these seven or eight people.
That’s right, the seven or eight people who came were the incense masters of the Arctic Sky who stopped Ni Liang from his crazy plan last night.
Cui Sike was obviously able to guess seven or eight points in his mind about the purpose of their visit, but how could he admit this in front of these opponents?
So, he chose to pretend to be garlic.
"Haha, the shopkeeper is really good at telling jokes. What else can I do when I come to your Yuelai Inn at this time? Of course I'm having a meal!"
The middle-aged man who looked gray-haired, but his bare arms were still muscled and powerful, looking like Kong Wu, looked around Cui Sike's face and laughed loudly. When the other members of the lower-level incense masters started to tease him when they heard this.
"Haha, maybe the shopkeeper looks down on us those of us who work hard, and we are afraid that we can't afford to pay for the meal."
"Hey, shopkeeper, don't worry, we brothers have done a big job today. The master gave us a lot of wages and rewards, so you must be paid for this meal."
...
Several men who looked all muscled, strong and powerful, said loudly, squeezing Cui Sike.
Obviously, Cui Sike pretended to be garlic in front of them, and they immediately fought back as it was.
As the voices of these lower-level incense masters became louder and louder, Cui Sike's face couldn't help but become ugly.
Although the meal time is about to end, there are still three or four tables of guests in the lobby of the inn at this time. In the public eye of these ordinary guests, even if he dare not to face the opponents of the lower sects in front of him, he would not dare to really tear his face in public.
"Where, where? Several customers are worried too much. When opening the door to do business, how can there be any reason to push customers out? Please, please, inside!"
Cui Sike, who was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted to bite these guys to death immediately, could only try his best to suppress the anger in his heart, squeeze out a hint of ugly smile, and said to them as smoothly as possible, letting them go away from their bodies blocking the door and let them into the inn.
"hey-hey."
Seeing Cui Sike being convinced, the inns from the lower class were not polite, and immediately rushed into the inn with laughter and noise, clamoring to reach the two tables closest to the backyard. The middle-aged man in the lead did not forget to show four yellowed front teeth at Cui Sike when he entered the inn.
"Woman, let's have two cheapest pots and the most powerful pot of burning knives!"
After they sat down one after another, the group of people became even more rude. They immediately slapped the table and shouted at the guys with a little pale complexion.
"Hey, this young master, haven't eaten dinner yet? The restaurant is affordable and delicious. If the guest officer has not eaten yet, he can't miss it."
Just as these incense masters from the lower sects were shouting, Bai Shier, who had made up his mind to follow him and walked outside the door of Yuelai Inn.
The guys who were afraid of being called by the incense masters of the lower class immediately went out enthusiastically. He had to be more attentive before using the pen, and came to Bai Shier, as if he wanted to "seek guests".
"Oh? Is it?"
But originally just used Bai Shier to delay time in order to avoid those sectarian sects, but he did not expect that wearing exquisite silk Confucian robe and holding this in his hand, he looked like he was not short of money. He would definitely not come to his small inn to spend in, but he was so easily moved by his words.
"Okay, I'm used to eating delicacies on weekdays, so it's good to try this market delicacy occasionally."
"ah?"
The waiter was a little stunned and looked at Bai Shier and was stunned.
"Um?"
Seeing his appearance, Bai Shier immediately pretended to be dissatisfied and woke him up with a light "hmm".
"Ah, oh, young master, please, please, please."
Although the guy who came to his senses wanted to slap him hard, the slap was already done. He did not dare to offend the luxuriously dressed Bai Shier. He had to bite the bullet, bow his waist, and forcefully squeeze out a smile to lead Bai Shier into the inn.
"A distinguished guest!"
Cui Sike, who was already having a headache, had not noticed the movement outside before, and heard the guy sang loudly outside the door, and then led a handsome young man dressed in luxurious clothes and holding a folding fan to step into the inn, and immediately felt his head grow bigger.
"Young Master, please sit down."
The guy who didn't even dare to look at the counter led Bai Shier to the table beside the window, wiped the stool with a white towel on his shoulder very attentively, and said in a low voice slightly flattering voice.
"Um."
Bai Shier, who was very satisfied with the service of the guy, nodded with appreciation, then took out a piece of silver less than one or two taels of silver from the silverfish bag on his waist and threw it up casually.
"reward."
"Thank you for your reward!"
Even though his heart was still up and down at this moment, after seeing the silver that Bai Shier threw out, the guy's eyes lit up immediately, and his hands and feet quickly let the silver fall into his palms. Then he turned his palms and put away the silver, and asked with a more attentive attitude.
"I wonder what instructions do the young master have?"
"I am a young man who has just arrived. I don't know what specialty dishes you have in this small shop. I will pick the most expensive ones to serve four or five dishes, and bring them a pot of good wine."
Bai Shier, who had already been familiar with the matter of pretending to be a rich young man, naturally could not reveal any flaws. After hearing the clerk's inquiry, he immediately escaped a small ingot of five taels of ingot from the silverfish bag hanging around his waist, threw it skillfully into the air, and ordered.
"Okay, please wait a moment, and the wine and food will come soon."
The guy who caught the ingot with both hands became brighter.
He even wanted to forget the previous instructions of Cui Sike, who was also the owner of the shopkeeper, was the incense master.
It was not until he turned around and walked quickly to the counter, put the silver on the counter, and wanted to say Bai Shier's instructions that he finally remembered these things again. So, just as he was about to speak, he became stammering again and didn't know how to speak.
"snort!"
Seeing Cui Sike in his appearance, he could not do anything to punish him at this time, except for a gentle snorting without a trace and expressing his inner dissatisfaction slightly.
After all, he just brought in a very generous distinguished guest for his small inn, and had already obtained five taels of silver from this distinguished guest. No matter how you look at it, it would be a great achievement. It would be fine if you don't praise or even reward. If you punish it again, you will be suspicious immediately.
"Why are you still doing standing here?! Why don't you go to the kitchen and tell Dazui to hurry up and cook?"
Looking at the guy who seemed to be frightened by himself in front of him, Cui Sike wanted to urge him to avoid him standing here for too long and arousing suspicion.
"Ah? Oh."
The guy who thought he was going to be unlucky almost thought he was hallucinating his hearing, but after seeing Cui Sike's eyes, he realized and quickly turned around and ran to the kitchen.
"Don't forget to stare at Big Mouth and let him burn with care."
When the guy's acting skills are too clumsy, Cui Sike, the master with excellent acting skills, can only take more responsibility.
But he didn't know that the acting skills were really good, but the young rich young man who was sitting by the window and looking at the small Yuelai Inn with a little bored look, frowning from time to time, and even a few contempt in his eyes.
Because, he was bored, or the seven or eight incense masters from the lower sects. After seeing the other party’s performance, he decided with great certainty that the other party was indeed a rich young man with a lot of spare money in his pocket and nowhere to spend it.
The reason why the other party came to this small Yuelai Inn for dinner was indeed because it was just a fresh look.
No one would suspect that he was pretending to be a rich young man and came to inquire about the situation.
Of course, this may be because Cui Sike and the seven or eight incense masters from the lower sect only had each other and had no time to care about other people's reasons.
Just like a focused sniper, after aiming at the target with a sniper lens, he will not pay attention to other situations until he sees the target fall.
At this time, Cui Sike wanted to knock down seven or eight incense masters from the lower sect immediately, or even snipe them, and drag them out directly, but he couldn't do it.
There is one reason why Bai Shier and some other "outsiders" are still staying in the inn, and one reason is that they are not strong.
Unless he is willing to drive everyone except the lower sect out of the inn, seal the doors and windows, and then go to the backyard to invite Kang Jinlong out. He will join forces to kill all these guys without regard for the possible impact of killing his fellow disciples.
However, he couldn't guarantee that he could avoid the suspicion of those pedestrians outside, and he couldn't guarantee that he could keep all the incense masters of the lower sects. Even if he could do it, he wouldn't dare to do it.
After all, there are not only these eight incense masters in the lower sect, and almost half of them have not appeared yet. Even if he can kill these eight guys without knowing it, he can handle the bodies of these eight guys properly without anyone discovering them. The remaining few of them should be the incense masters in the lower sect who watched these eight guys walk into Yuelai Inn, and they can prove him.
The crime of harming his fellow disciples was so great that many scented masters from the lower sect forced to stop Ni Liang's crazy plan, and Cui Sike did not dare to have excessive thoughts.
But what if these eight bastards from the lower class stay here and don’t leave?
Looking at the eight lower-level sacrificial masters who had just these two plates of edamame that were already drinking happily, Cui Sike's brows unconsciously frowned, and became tighter and tighter.
‘Forget it, let’s take a step by step.’
Cui Sike, who had been thinking for a long time but still didn't think of any good idea, finally could only shake his head helplessly and sigh inwardly.
‘If it really doesn’t work, I can only let Wang Laogui and the other three leave the back door first and give up today’s negotiation plan.’
...
Because he has always focused on the two tables of people in the lower class, and has previously judged through experience that there were no suspicious characters in the inn, Cui Sike's expression did not cover up too much.
In his opinion, even if someone noticed him staring at the two tables of people at the lower class, it would be no big deal. After all, for the eight strong men who looked both poor and difficult to mess with, I am afraid that any shopkeeper who runs a food shop would not have the expression on his face to see it.
But Bai Shier, who was eliminated from danger by him, obviously didn't think so.
Even after just a brief observation, he was sure that the shopkeeper and the eight coolies wearing coarse cloth had known each other for a long time, and they should have been the kind of old acquaintance that had been a long time since they met each other, and they had some grudges or even conflicts with each other.
This is also in line with his previous judgment.
"Young Master, I've been waiting for a long time. Your wine and food are here!"
Just as Bai Shier was pretending to be bored, while thinking about the real relationship between Cui Sike and the eight coolies, the guy who had been sent to the kitchen to urge dishes before finally walked to the table with the first dish and a pot of wine, bent his waist and said with a little apology and trepidation, while placing the wine and dishes from the tray onto the table.
"Your food is too slow, right?"
