Chapter 39 Aiming for the Championship ([-])

Can I drink soup with chopsticks?

It's really hard for Ashikaga Becki, the great beauty, to believe this.However, in the "Huadu Villa", a small tavern at the bottom of a short alley, I first saw using snow to make a fire.

The facade of the pub is not big, it can be described as small.Everyone who wanted to enter had to turn sideways.Our Princess Fusang couldn't help but laugh, thinking that if Pang Buwang followed, how would her plump body squeeze through?

Inside, there were only three tables and a few chairs.

The real show is at the back door.Pushing open, there is a large courtyard. There are three or two waiters already there, squeezing a lot of snow falling on the ground between their palms.Then, they will be squeezed into semi-arc shaped ice cubes, and through the concentration of sunlight, they will ignite the hay and firewood on the ground.

This principle is very similar to the focusing effect of a modern magnifying glass.

"magic!"

The beauty of Ashikaga opened her eyes wide, naturally showing off her feminine charm, and said, "I didn't expect that Tang Zhuangyuan was so knowledgeable and well-informed. He really used snow to make fire."

When Brother Tang praised such a beauty, his face turned red and he said, "It's nothing. Tang is already very rich."

"Who speaks in such a loud voice?"

An old man wandered out from a side room in the garden. The first thing that caught people's attention was the half piece of reddish-brown hair left on his head!
The old man's accent was obviously not from the Central Plains. He was of medium build and in his sixties. There were a few wrinkles on his face across the age spots that had appeared.Her brown eyes stared at Ashikaga Kaiki for a moment, then she turned to Mr. Tang and snorted: "Boy, are you here to 'eat' soup again?"

Young Master Tang Ningfeng chuckled twice and replied, "Uncle Carl, are you okay?"

The old man snorted from his nostrils, looked at the whole body of our Ashikaga beauty, and suddenly called out, "Haha──, is this earl's information correct? This girl is the Ashikaga Princess of Fuso?"

"This Earl"?Ashikaga Becky was smart, and immediately had some understanding, and asked: "Is it possible that this old man is from a country to the west of the Western Region? And he provided information to Tang Zhuangyuan, where we are imprisoned as hostages?"

Old man Carl rolled his eyes and glanced sideways at Tang Ningfeng, saying, "Hey──, Brother Zhuangyuan, if you don't rescue all the hostages quickly, I'm afraid all the countries in the world will run out of patience."

Our Mr. Tang sighed heavily, feeling a little aggrieved, and murmured a complaint: "Honestly, what does this have to do with me, brother? I just happened to meet you, and..."

"And show off your peerless martial arts?!" Karl sneered. I wonder if it was because of his old age or because of his status as an earl?Or is it a habit in their country?Just listen to him say: "At that time, I was a special envoy on behalf of all the countries in the world, tracking the kidnapped princes and nobles all the way to the Middle Earth... Hey, hey, it was Brother Tang who promised to rescue the people!"

The eldest son of the Tang Dynasty really wanted to reply: "If it weren't for my promise, brother, you barbarians would have sent troops to attack the Central Plains!" He sighed, almost blaming himself for trying to be a hero?
"Brother No. [-], can you tell me the details?" Ashikaga Becky said softly, then laughed boldly to herself: "Even if you don't tell me, sooner or later this matter will cause a sensation in the entire martial arts world."

He stopped talking and smiled slightly threateningly: "Look, the people of the Desert King have not only arrived in Luoyang, but they have also found Yu Kuai Dao, right?"

Our brother Tang really sighed, looked at Count Karl, and hummed: "Hey, how long does it take to cook this soup?"

"It's sunny at noon, but it's freezing at night!" Old Karl replied angrily: "If you want to eat soup, come in the evening... I'm still busy!"

"Busy?" Mr. Tang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Is it possible that you have invited helpers again?"

There was a trace of pride on Old Man Carl's face, and he pretended to be quiet and replied with a bit of cunning: "That's right! Hey, hey, hey..., I guarantee you kid won't even think of it──"

Young Master Tang rolled his eyes and glanced around at the pots that were already on fire.Looking again, a waiter brought out firewood blocks from the side room to set up the shop. He smiled and said, "It seems that there are a lot of appointments."

Karl's eyes narrowed and he said: "How much?"

"Four!" Mr. Tang Ningfeng smiled, and proudly pointed in the direction of the waiter who brought out the pot at the end, and continued: "This pot belongs to my brother, plus──"

Ashikaga Becky smiled sweetly and responded: "So it's one pot per person. Then...doesn't this girl have a share? Or should I 'eat' the same pot of soup with Tang Zhuangyuan?"

The Earl Karl in front of him touched the reddish-brown beard on his chin, and after a while he hummed: "Young lady is also a princess of a country, let me give you a share." After finishing the explanation, he turned his attention to the eldest son of the Tang Dynasty. Hey: "Guess those people?"

Tang Ningfeng rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "Is it three old men who refuse to accept defeat plus one finger that refuses to admit defeat?"

Karl's eyes flashed and he hummed, "You're a smart kid. It's them!"

Our eldest son, the Tang Dynasty, gave a bitter smile and stared at the barbarian earl with a shameless face. He gritted his teeth a little bit and said, "Old man, you must have said that we are not doing things well in my name...so you provoked them to come forward, right?"

The barbarian earl, who didn't know which country he was from, smiled, with a hint of satisfaction in his pride: "If it weren't for this, who in the world would be able to invite them to work together to handle the case at the same time?!"
