Ding Ning suddenly slapped his forehead with an annoyed look.
He seemed to have thought of something and seemed to regret it.
Then, Zhao Yan heard a sentence that made him laugh and cry.
"If I had known that Shopkeeper Jin was so open-minded, I would have struck first!"
"Brother, you are still brave!"
As he spoke, he raised his head and shook his head sadly.
This is a timid pervert...
Zhao Yan quickly gave him an evaluation in his heart.
But he also knew that if the other party really dared to take action, the grass on the grave would probably be half a meter high by now.
In this Kurqi Desert, let alone his father being a general of a country, even if the emperor comes, he doesn't need to give him face.
In the current Jiuzhou, no army of any country has the ability to conquer the forces in this vast desert.
It's not that there are difficulties in terms of troops or supplies, but the vast size of the Kurchi Desert gives these desert ghosts a huge guerrilla space.
As long as they give up their stronghold, they are already in an invincible position.
No country would station troops in the desert for these desert ghosts.
In that case, huge military spending will drag the entire empire into quagmire.
Ding Ning obviously understands this truth...
But even so, he still pretended not to understand.
It shows that this is a smart man.
Unlike the ordinary people around him, who still foolishly thought that Zhao Yan was dead.
Zhao Yan glanced at him with a half-smile but did not answer his question.
Ding Ning frowned secretly, then relaxed his brows in an instant and said with a smile:
"Mingren doesn't tell secrets, but Xiongtai looks like he's not an ordinary person. Do you know Shopkeeper Jin?"
"Of course we know each other, we are old friends."
"really!"
"Why else would she run away shyly?"
"this……"
Ding Ning couldn't help but was speechless.
Indeed, judging from Jin Xiangyu's reaction just now, he looked a little shy.
What's more, even though he was held down and spanked in public, he didn't fall out on the spot.
The identity of this old sweetheart seems to be true!
hiss……
I was enjoying my stay at the Longmen Inn, but suddenly the strongest opponent came!
He felt like his home was being robbed.
The most puzzling thing is that Jin Xiangyu has been in the Kurqi Desert for so many years and has a great reputation, but there has never been any gossip.
I have never shown any pretense towards any man, but for this man, I just turned around and left after being taken advantage of.
The ambiguous attitude seems to explain a lot of problems.
"My dear, Ding Ning, comes from Pingjing in the Ming Dynasty. May I ask my brother's surname and where he comes from?"
Ding Ning clasped his fists and asked. He didn't know whether he wanted to make friends or if he wanted to know himself and his enemy so that he could fight without danger.
After all, you are chasing a woman, so you can’t pursue her forcefully.
If shopkeeper Jin really fell in love with this person, he could leave in style.
Of course, this was a way of showing respect. The real situation was that Jin Xiangyu simply ignored him.
It was the same when I went downstairs just now, and I didn't even look at him.
"It turns out that it was Brother Ding who came to see me, Zhao Yan, from Kaifeng in the Song Dynasty."
"Zhao Yan! Kaifeng?"
Ding Ning was stunned when he heard this.
Zhao Yan didn't know his name, but he knew Zhao Yan's name very well.
It can be said that Zhao Yan can be regarded as a role model and idol for the vast majority of officials' children in Jiuzhou.
Ding Ning had long heard that King Qi of the Song Dynasty was the number one master of the Song Dynasty. Although his records were not many, he truly demonstrated his strength in every battle.
Especially the sword fight against Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City some time ago, can be regarded as one of the classics in the world.
Although after this battle, Zhao Yan disappeared.
But the story of Prince Qi going to Wudang alone and fighting alone on the way back has long been spread in Kyushu.
Ding Ning is very familiar with these anecdotes about King Qi.
So when I heard that the man in front of me was from Kaifeng and was also called Zhao Yan, I felt a ridiculous feeling in my heart.
If it were Prince Qi...
That’s still the high level of shopkeeper Jin.
But Prince Qi is one of the most beautiful men in Kyushu.
The appearance of the guy in front of me is really shabby.
"Brother's father is pretty good at naming, haha..."
Ding Ning obviously did not regard this man as his idol, King Qi, and said with a smile.
"Yes, everyone says so. It's more or less taking advantage of Prince Qi's reputation."
Zhao Yan said indifferently and continued to pick up vegetables and eat without even passing the other pair of chopsticks on the table to Ding Ning.
Jin Xiangyu wanted to cause some trouble for him, but unfortunately the other party was not fooled.
At least this Ding Ning is a slippery man.
"Brother Ding, if you don't mind, how about eating some together?"
Zhao Yan pretended to say something, but his eyes were full of rejection.
But he underestimated how thick-skinned Ding Ning was.
I saw the other party immediately grabbed the pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef for himself without politeness, and then grabbed the wine bottle to pour himself wine.
"Why does Brother Zhao like this soju? It's extremely spicy and not a good drink."
"Oh, drink whatever you have. As a human being, you must learn to be content."
This wine was ordered by Lao Han just now. Zhao Yan didn't think it was bad anyway, so he drank it.
The people of Kyushu are actually divided into three levels when it comes to drinking.
With Ding Ning's family background, he would never drink this low-quality soju.
In the eyes of wealthy families such as officials and gentry, their favorite drink is undoubtedly the sweet and mellow rice wine.
Wines such as Nuerhong, Zhuangyuanhong, and Huadiao are the first choices of the upper class.
The second is fruit wine, such as green plum wine, bayberry wine, mulberry wine and so on.
Among fruit wines, wine is the most respected, and the best wine has always been the favorite of noble gentlemen.
As for low-quality soju, these superior people would not even take a look at it.
Only people like Lao Han would like to drink it.
Of course, the kind of liquor produced in Shuiyunjian cannot be generalized.
It’s not just liquor, Shui Yunjian has directly defined a new kind of drink.
For today’s wine lovers in Kyushu.
There are only two kinds of wine in the world.
One is sold by Shuiyunjian, and the other is others.
Longmen Inn also sells Shuiyunjian’s fine wines, but they are all at exorbitant prices.
Not even the top managers of various business firms could afford to drink.
Ding Ning would never drink this low-quality soju before.
But he has stayed here for more than half a year, and his money has long been used up.
Now that I am penniless, I can only make ends meet by making friends with passers-by every day.
If he hadn't been so generous, he would have paid the rent for a year, and he wouldn't even have a place to live.
And when he ran away from home in a high-spirited manner, he would not return home until he had made a name for himself.
"It's good to be content. I like the word Brother Zhao. If my father could learn a little from Brother Zhao, I wouldn't have to be like this."
"Heh... isn't it nice to be like this now?"
"What a good thing! Brother Zhao doesn't know something..."
Ding Ning used his chopsticks without mercy and finished a bowl of pig head meat in just a few strokes.
While biting rapidly, he also puffed out his cheeks and spoke.
"I remember when I first came here, I drank grape wine every day, but now, I can only shamelessly ask Brother Zhao for some soju..."
You kid also knows that you are thick-skinned!
Zhao Yan looked at his pitiful appearance with no sympathy in his heart.
But at last he still knew that he was thick-skinned and a self-aware guy.
To be honest, Zhao Yan couldn't dislike such a person.
But there is no need to say that you like it.
"Although grape wine is good, it cannot taste all the flavors of life. Although soju is inferior, it can make you feel more. Drinking a little will not hurt you."
"Brother Zhao, what you said has a profound meaning! You are indeed not an ordinary ugly man!"
"Then I really appreciate your compliment."
Honest, so honest!
Zhao Yan rolled his eyes and then put down his chopsticks.
Originally, we only had western dishes to go with the wine.
He didn't take much of it himself, but in just a short time, Ding Ning had already eaten two plates.
Look at it like this, even if I have another Western plate, this kid can eat it all.
"No need to thank you. After eating Brother Zhao's food and wine, you have to give something back."
Ding Ning rolled up his sleeves and wiped the stains at the corners of his mouth, finally took a break and said solemnly.
"Brother Zhao's behavior just now is very dangerous. Although I am convinced, little brother, there will definitely be people in this Longmen Inn who come to trouble you after hearing about this."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
Seeing that he took the initiative to talk about this matter, Zhao Yan also became interested.
I was new here, and I originally wanted to know more about it. Isn't this just the pillow that Sleepy brought me?
"Brother Zhao, please don't underestimate me. There are actually a few masters in the inn. For example, when you came in just now, did you see that guy sitting on the roof who thought he was handsome?"
"You mean Fang Geyin?"
"That's right! It's him!"
As Ding Ning spoke, he couldn't stop talking.
His eyes drifted to the more than half plate of beef, but he restrained himself from grabbing it in a hurry.
"The entire desert knows that this kid is Shopkeeper Jin's suitor. If you want to touch Shopkeeper Jin, you have to step over his body first!"
"Fortunately, he is always pretending to be on the roof, so I didn't see him just now, otherwise I would have drawn a sword against Brother Zhao on the spot."
"But this person's martial arts skills are mediocre, and he is just a martial artist who has just entered the Zhixuan realm. I wonder what realm Brother Zhao is?"
Ding Ning's eyes flashed inaudibly.
He seemed to be warning Zhao Yan of danger, but in fact he was still trying to find out his details.
Although he couldn't feel any internal energy fluctuations in the man in front of him, he was subconsciously certain that this man must be a master.
Although Jin Xiangyu's martial arts skills were mediocre, she was not a weak woman waiting to be slaughtered.
He was completely under his control and had no power to resist.
Based on this alone, Ding Ning did not believe that this man was just an ordinary person.
"Brother Ding, what do you think I am?"
Zhao Yan asked calmly.
He can clearly guess what the other person is thinking without using his eyes to see.
What's more, with the ability given by the "Book of Forgetting Love", Ding Ning is even more invisible in front of him.
"Hey, I can't guess it, but Fang Geyin's Zhixuan realm is really powerful. Brother Zhao should be more careful."
"Brother Zhao, do you know where he comes from?"
Ding Ning asked with a mysterious expression.
"What? If little brother Ding knows, he might as well tell you first."
Zhao Yan said, pushing the two plates of food on the table in front of him.
When Ding Ning saw this, he scratched his head in embarrassment, but he could no longer hold back the chopsticks in his hands.
"It's Tianyu Sect. Have you heard of it, Brother Zhao?"
"Not only have I heard of it, but I have also seen the Golden Rainbow Sword."
"Brother Zhao is indeed extraordinary!"
Ding Ning's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.
Since he can recognize the Golden Rainbow Sword, he must be a martial artist!
His guess was not wrong!
"That's right, the Golden Rainbow Sword is the token of the leader of the Tianyu Sect. He has the Golden Rainbow Sword in his hand at a young age, but he is not doing his job properly and actually wanders in the desert for a woman..."
"Well... although this woman is indeed very good!"
Originally he wanted to say a few more words, but when he thought that he was also working with Fang Geyin, Ding Ning had to quickly change the topic.
"None of this is important. Anyway, this kid has a very high internal power, and the mysterious fingering skills he uses are also quite weird. He can use his sword to point at anything, making it difficult for people to guard against him."
Palm sword pointing?
Zhao Yan's heart moved secretly. He seemed to have never heard of any mention of occult magic like this.
Could it be that Fang Geyin realized a brand new secret technique?
"My little brother had a fight with him. If Uncle Diao hadn't saved him, he would have almost killed him!"
When Ding Ning said these words, there was still a trace of lingering fear on his face.
"Uncle Diao?"
"Brother Zhao, don't you know? The chef of Longmen Inn is Diao Buyu. All the dishes we eat are cooked by him."
"Since I was able to rescue you from Fang Geyin, then Diao Buyu's martial arts must be extremely high. Why do you want to be a cook at Longmen Inn?"
Zhao Yan asked in confusion. He had noticed it just now.
These plates of meat and vegetables were cut evenly in thickness and length. Not only were they cut neatly and neatly without any sticking, they were also unique in shape and placement.
I thought the chef here was very good at knife skills, but now it sounds like he is an expert.
"This... I don't know, but I heard that Uncle Diao used to be a court official... After being persecuted by traitors, he was rescued by Shopkeeper Jin. In order to repay his kindness, he stayed here as a cook."
"Although I am known as the fastest knife in the world, I still quite approve of Uncle Diao's knife skills."
Ding Ning's shamelessness took over again, and he boasted without drafting anything.
Although they had only known each other for a short time, Zhao Yan was already used to his style.
"So, Diao Buyu is also a master of the Zhixuan Realm?"
"Yeah, but Uncle Diao has a deep understanding of this realm. Others don't know it, but I know it all!"
"The small Dragon Gate Inn actually has three Zhixuan masters... It's really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
Zhao Yan took a sip of wine in his mouth as he spoke, but did not swallow it.
Ding Ning had a hearty meal, put down his chopsticks and took the initiative to fill his empty cup, and then continued.
"Brother Zhao, thank you very much. Compared with Shi Guanyin and Jellyfish Yin Ji, the three of us are nothing."
"If you want to be truly capable, you have to be our gold-inlayed jade shopkeeper."
After saying a few words, Ding Ning leaned over slightly and lowered his voice again.
"Those two... treat our shopkeeper Jin like sisters. They come to her for a drink every once in a while. I'm afraid they will come again in the past few days!"
"Brother Zhao, think about it, with the strength of the two of them, they would actually come to the door in person..."
"It shows how much you value Shopkeeper Jin!"
