Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 93
Soon after, the food and wine were brought to the table.

As soon as the clerk left, Ying Ning leaned forward and sniffed like a puppy...

She wasn't greedy, but was trying to tell if there was anything wrong with these dishes.

Zhou Yu patted Ying Ning's head with a look of love and compassion: "You don't need to smell it, you can eat it, there's nothing wrong with it."

Having said this, Ying Ning just felt relieved, and smiled and picked up the flagon to pour wine for Zhou Yu: "Sir, you can only drink a small pot, don't drink too much."

"know."

After a while, there was a sudden commotion in the hall.

"The lady boss has come out..."

"Xiu Niang, come over and have a drink with the uncle."

"Xiu Niang, why are you wearing such thick clothes? It's not as cool as me..."

A big man with a bare chest and bare arms laughed loudly.

Xiu Niang snorted: "You beasts don't come here to flirt with my old lady, but my old lady has a man."

Xiu Niang was quite tough, with her hips akimbo bickering with the diners.

Fortunately, Ying Ning couldn't understand these words, so she listened too lazily, and took care of picking up vegetables to eat.

Zhou Yu just subconsciously glanced at the proprietress... Is this still called thick clothes?You can see the embroidered bellyband from such a distance.

Glancing at it, he turned his head and drank slowly.

"Yo~ I didn't expect there to be a scholar here?"

Xiu Niang smiled sweetly, and walked over with her slender waist twisted.

A strong man sitting nearby said with a sour tone: "Xiu Niang, what's the fun of being a scholar? Don't you know a few lines of poetry?

Come and have a few drinks with the uncle, the uncle has something good to show you..."

"Go far away, I really don't care about scholars."

While talking, Xiu Niang walked up to Zhou Yu and said with a smile, "This young master must be the first time to our Tianranju, right?"

"Ah."

"Then I don't know how to call the young master? Where did he come from?"

Zhou Yu replied perfunctorily: "My surname is Zhou, and I'm coming to Jinhua Mansion."

"It turned out to be Young Master Zhou... Ah Cai, bring another jug ​​of wine for Young Master Zhou, I'll treat you."

"Yes, Madam."

But Zhou Yu waved his hand: "No need, I'm too heavy to drink, a jug of wine is enough!"

"That's it...then you don't have to pay for Mr. Zhou's table of wine and food, just treat it as..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ying Ning threw a piece of silver on the table with a "bang": "No need, we are not short of this money."

"Yo, this little girl is quite fierce."

Ying Ning flushed with anger: "What little girl? What look in your eyes? Who is the little girl?"

She obviously dressed up as a book boy, and she proudly said that no one could see it, but in the end...

"I'm sorry, the main reason is that my little brother has beautiful features and looks like a little girl, so..."

"boom!"

At this time, someone rose up against the crime and walked over with a murderous look.

"What's the matter? I don't like you two for a long time. The proprietress is kind enough to treat you, what are you two doing? How much money is there?"

"You..." Ying Ning also slapped the table angrily and stood up.

"Yingning, sit down."

Zhou Yu sipped softly at Ying Ning.

Then he glanced at the man and said: "Brother, the boy is not sensible, please forgive me if there is any conflict."

"It's easy to say, and you want to finish it with a word of understanding?"

Unexpectedly, the strong man actually acted like he was being reasonable and unforgiving.

The proprietress stood aside without saying a word, as if she wanted to see how Zhou Yu would respond...

Zhou Yu put down his wine glass and said coldly, "So, what do you want?"

"Hehe, it's very simple, apologize to Xiuniang. Also, if the boy next to you dares to stare at me, let him kneel down and kowtow three times, otherwise..."

As soon as the words were said, a gust of cold wind passed by, chilling the neck of the strong man, his voice stopped abruptly, and he subconsciously raised his hand to touch his neck.

But at this time, Xiu Niang was dumbfounded, looking at the strong man as if she didn't know him.

Zhou Yu slowly put the sword back into its sheath.

No one saw clearly when he drew the sword, including the strong man standing in front of him.

The man rubbed his neck... he was too worried, nothing happened, he was about to speak, but he felt something was wrong.

Looking down hastily, a strand of beard is falling.

Quickly raise your hand and touch... your chin is bare.

At this time, he finally understood why Xiuniang looked at him with such strange eyes.

"How about otherwise?"

Zhou Yujian had returned to its sheath, picked up the wine glass again, glanced at the man lazily, and asked softly.

"Guru..."

The strong man swallowed with difficulty, the muscles on his face trembled for a while, and then he stretched out his hands and clasped his fists, his fists trembled and his voice trembled:

"I have...you don't know Taishan with your eyes, and...you also ask the heroes to raise your hands..."

He knew very well in his heart that just with the sword just now, it would be easy for the other party to take his life.

He didn't even know that his opponent was drawing a sword, so his beard was cut off without a sound. If the tip of the sword moved an inch further, wouldn't it be a sword to seal his throat?
"roll!"

Zhou Yu drank a word coldly.

"Yes yes yes, thank you hero for not killing me."

Feeling relieved, the strong man wiped his cold sweat with his hand, turned around and left the hall hastily.

This sword also shocked the other diners, no one dared to make irresponsible remarks, and even the voice of chatting was much quieter.

It wasn't until this time that they realized that scholars are not so easy to bully.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that the young master turned out to be a master who hides his secrets, but it made my family worry for nothing..."

This woman is really ruthless, claiming that she has become a slave, and she is worrying for nothing.

"The proprietress has won the prize, but I'm just a scholar."

"The slave family will not bother the young master to drink, if you need anything, just ask the slave family."

"polite."

After Xiu Niang twisted her waist and left, Ying Ning couldn't help curling her lips and muttering, "Fairy!"

Her words, although there is a certain amount of jealousy, but it is also a big truth.

This Xiuniang is indeed a goblin.

Ying Ning can see it, and Zhou Yu can also see it, but he hasn't figured it out for the time being.

However, the other party can see that Ying Ning is a woman disguised as a man, but they may not be able to see Ying Ning's real identity.

After all, Ying Ning has half human blood, and has practiced authentic Taoism, knowing how to conceal his aura.

After dinner, Zhou Yu called Xiaoer to open a room.

It's not that he wants to take advantage of Yingning's advantage, he wants to take advantage of it long ago, so why bother to find an opportunity?
Entering the room, Ying Ning giggled and said, "Sir, are you going to do something tonight?"

"That's right, this inn is a demon shop. Three of the women in the hall before were transformed into demons, and the other three are also demons."

"Then what are they trying to do?"

"Do you still need to ask? Didn't you see that almost all the guests here are men?
But one thing is strange, it seems that some of the diners are very familiar with the proprietress.

This shows that they should often come to this inn.

So, tonight, I will investigate carefully what secrets this inn hides. "

"Well, I'll go too..."

"No, it's inconvenient for you to be a girl, so you just stay in the room obediently."

Ying Ning is not stupid, she guessed it when Zhou Yu said this, her face blushed, she pouted and said, "Okay, but sir, you have to be careful."

"Do not worry."

Zhou Yu smiled and comforted him.

at the same time.

Xiu Niang walked into a room in the attic of the backyard.

There was a thin, short man in the room, also very ugly.

This person is the owner of the inn, his surname is Ding, and he is called shopkeeper Ding.However, some regular customers secretly call it three-inch nails.

It's no wonder those guests like to flirt with Xiu Niang.

Xiuniang was tall, slender and charming, but she married a man who was ugly, dark, short and thin.

The two were completely incompatible, which naturally made many guests feel itchy and tried to seduce Xiu Niang.

It's a pity that this Xiuniang is fascinated by ghosts. It's okay to make waves, but no one can seduce her.

In front of the guests, Xiu Niang was very charming, laughing and cursing, but when she entered the room, she stepped forward to greet her with a timid look.

Shopkeeper Ding asked casually, "What? Did you find another special guest?"

"This... there is indeed one, but that person is a bit strange..."

"Why is it strange?"

"From his appearance, he looks like a scholar, but the speed and accuracy of his sword are quite astonishing.

According to the observation of the slave family, it seems that he does not seem to be a martial arts practitioner.

In short, the slave family feels that this person is a little unfathomable, so... he dare not make his own claims, so he came here to ask the master for instructions. "

"Hmph, you've been practicing for two or three hundred years, and you're actually afraid of a scholar?"

"It's not that I'm afraid, the main reason is... I can't see through it, so I don't dare to do it lightly."

"Hmph, wait for me to meet this person in person."

Xiu Niang forced herself to smile: "The master will go out personally, and it will definitely be settled."

"Stop flattering, why don't you hurry up and serve me?"

"Yes……"

Xiu Niang didn't dare to disobey her orders, she walked over obediently, and took off her clothes for the three-inch nail...

On the other side, Zhou Yu also started to act.

After some observation, as expected, several women in the inn were trying their best to accompany the guests.

But it didn't harm anyone's life, it was just quietly sucking the vitality of the other party.

This is the same as drawing blood, as long as there is no excess, no one will die.

In this way, Zhou Yu almost figured out why there are many repeat customers in this inn.

These goblins are also considered smart, and understand the principle of small profits but quick turnover.

As long as they don't kill anyone or cause panic, they can stay here for a long time with peace of mind, which is really a good idea.

Just when Zhou Yu was about to dive into the backyard, his expression changed suddenly, and he quickly returned to the room.

"gentlemen……"

Ying Ning came forward to meet her, and was about to ask a few questions.

"Don't ask too many questions, follow me out of the room through the back window."

"Oh."

Ying Ning responded, took the package and jumped out after the husband opened the back window.

As soon as the two of them left, a short, small black figure quietly came outside the house.

After listening for a while, it seemed that something was wrong, and he entered the room in a flash.

Mung Dou stared: There is really no one in the room.

"Hmph, you're going to slip fast!"
