He glanced straight over the two clan brothers Li Ce and Li Ming, and looked straight at the only person who was wearing a hood and couldn't see his face clearly.

Although the face of this person cannot be seen clearly, the palm of this person holding the teacup is white, with slender knuckles and well-proportioned flesh and bones, obviously it is the hand of a young man.

When the young man turned his head to look at his companion, he inadvertently revealed a delicately shaped jaw from under the hood. His skin was like white jade, warm and fair, which gave Qiu Ming a particularly familiar feeling.

And the aura of that young man was also very familiar.

Just as he was thinking secretly, the bartender at the side came tremblingly, and boldly asked: "Guest officer... what kind of wine would you like to drink?"

Qiu Ming returned to his senses slightly, and shook his head at the trembling little bartender: "I don't drink."

The bartender squeezed out a stiff smile: "Guest officer, if you don't want to drink, what can you eat? Although this restaurant doesn't have the exquisite delicacies in restaurants, there are still some vulgar dishes, such as side dishes, fish and meat. Steaming hot tea..."

"A glass of white water." Qiu Ming said.

"What?" The bartender almost thought he heard it wrong.

It turns out he heard right.

Qiu Ming's eyebrows and eyes were cold: "A glass of white water is enough."

Although his adoptive father loves wine very much, and his father also loves drinking tea, but he himself is not at all like his two parents in this point, he has no interest in wine or tea.

He likes to drink plain water.

Now even the bartender didn't care about being afraid anymore, the smile on his face became stiffer, and the corner of his mouth twitched as he reminded: "Guest officer, this is a tavern..."

You spend some money anyway, even if you want a penny for a bowl of rough tea, it's better than nothing at all!

He couldn't have been mistaken, the intimidating outsider in front of him was actually a pauper who came to rest.

The bartender quietly looked at the black-clothed boy in front of him suspiciously.

Qiu Ming noticed the look in his eyes, fell silent for a while, and silently took out a silver ingot from his arms, and handed it to the bartender.

"A glass of plain water, thank you."

Fortunately, he always remembers to bring some human money with him when he comes down to earth, unlike his adoptive father Ming Jiuyuan, who never carries any money with him, always handing Mingshi when he pays, which frightens the mortals every time. .

Although the Styx stones are precious, those mortals don't know them, and they are especially afraid of those stones fished out of the Styx River, which are contaminated with the infinite breath of death.

The bartender who received the money immediately smiled, and immediately put all the panic and suspicion behind him: "Come on! Officer, Baishui will be here soon."

It was the first time I saw someone spend money to drink boiled water, and it was really amazing.

The bartender had just put the money into his arms, and hadn't even walked to the counter, when suddenly the door of the tavern made another "bang" and was kicked open abruptly.

Which uncle is here again, making such a big noise?

The bartender cursed inwardly, turned around and was about to greet the guests, but suddenly heard a curse coming from the door: "That brat who beat up grandpa just now because of the crowd, grandpa, I'll get out!"

The bartender was startled, and secretly shouted: 'It's broken'!

Sure enough, when I looked up, a group of young rogues with sticks gathered at the door, there were nearly twenty people, all of them were full of anger, staring at the people in the tavern with malicious eyes. Well, the leader was beaten to the point of being bruised. It was the rogue who had clashed with Li Ming just now and was thrown out of the door by the servant.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was the rogue who had assembled his men to seek revenge. Immediately, everyone who was drinking in the tavern retreated to one side, leaving a large space to prevent those scoundrels from fighting and accidentally injuring them. .

This rogue bartender also knows him. He is a famous rogue within a radius of tens of miles. He has gathered a group of brothers. Just like him, they are a group of rogues. They often harass the nearby people on weekdays. A scourge of the local area, no merchants passing by here usually dare to provoke him easily.

That Li Ming has a stubborn personality, and because he came from the border of Changling Kingdom, he didn't know the local conditions, so he offended this rascal by accident.

"Everyone is from the village. Brother, what are you doing? If this is smashed in our shop, the small shop will not be able to do business."

The bartender rushed up to greet him, and said a few soft words: "Why don't you brothers get so angry, and get angry for no reason, why don't you sit down and have a good meal and a glass of wine, the shop treats you today, There is no need for brothers to pay..."

"Fuck you, go aside, don't get in the way!" The poppy didn't like that, and pushed the bartender aside, holding a dark wooden stick in his hand, and went straight to Li Ming. side walk.

"Bah!" He pointed at Li Ming and the others, and greeted the rascals behind him, "It's these bastards, brothers, beat me to death for Grandpa."

Li Ming is just a naughty boy, even when his home was surrounded by bandits, he was well protected by his parents, but he had never seen such a battle before, he panicked immediately, his face turned ashen from fright , and went straight to hide behind his two burly servants.

But the two young men were helpless.

There were nearly 20 people coming from the opposite side, and all of them were holding sticks and sticks in their hands. No matter how skillful they were, there were only two of them.

As the saying goes, if the old master was beaten to death with random punches, if the two of them confronted the twenty people with the dick in their hands with their bare hands, they would probably only be beaten to pieces.

"stop!"

Seeing that this group of scoundrels was about to approach, Li Ce stood up and yelled loudly, "I am an official who is going to the capital to take office. If something happens here, the government will definitely hold you accountable. You can't do anything wrong." .”

"Haha, officials, who are you fooling!"

Faced with Li Ce's warning, Poppi didn't take it seriously, grinned his big yellow teeth, and said mockingly: "This is near the capital, and we have seen a lot of people who come and go as officials. Which one doesn't it take with you when you go out?" A bunch of guards and servants? I have never seen an official with two servants like you!"

"You..." Li Ce's face turned red when he faced these rogues, not knowing what to say.

He knew that there were indeed fewer people with him.

But in the officialdom, there is still Prime Minister Zuo, who has been looking at their Li family disliked, staring at them. In order not to let Prime Minister Zuo pick the wrong place, they have to travel lightly and simply, so the servants dare not bring more, for fear of being caught. Prime Minister Zuo read a book in front of the king.

But he never expected that the King of Hades is easy to see and the little ghost is hard to deal with. He was about to arrive in the capital, but he was actually blocked by some rogues not far from the capital.

Seeing that Li Ce was so angry that he had nothing to say, the poppi felt that he had exposed the other party's lie, and immediately raised his hand triumphantly, and said, "Brothers, do you hear me, hit grandpa!"

After all, he took the lead and waved the stick in his hand at Li Ce, the scholar's head.

However, just as the stick fell halfway down, a white and jade-like palm suddenly stretched out to grab Poppi's wrist, stopping the falling stick.

When Poppi saw this, he cursed: "Go to hell, let me loose for Grandpa... Aww!"

The slender fingers rested on the veins of his wrist, and with just a little force, Poppi wailed in pain instantly, the stick in his hand fell to the ground, and half of his body collapsed on the ground, shivering in pain.

The many rascals behind this rogue were all stunned for a moment, and they couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Li Xuanqing pressed Popi's wrist, and the face hidden under the hood couldn't see the expression clearly. He just turned his head, looked at the panic-stricken bartender, and asked gently: "You don't want them to smash your tavern?" ?”

Hearing his voice suddenly, Qiu Ming who was sitting in the distance was stunned for a moment, his dark eyes widened, and he stood up abruptly in astonishment.

An unbelievable thought rose in his mind.
