Episode 179: Stinky Tofu!
The desert burrow, the legendary secret realm of immortals, contains endless wonders, but the secret realm is very difficult to find. Lin Pingzhi and Shangguan Yan searched around Sifang City for two or three days before finally getting a trace of clues, so they hurriedly followed the traces.
After a day of travel, we saw that it was getting late, the two stopped in front of an inn called "Tianxiang". Lin Pingzhi said: "According to the information we inquired before, the desert worm is in the nearby desert. Let's take a night first, and enter the desert tomorrow and explore the location of the desert worm."
"good."
As she traveled with her, Shangguan Yan gradually got used to having someone around her. This feeling was completely different from when she was walking alone in the world.
The two of them met the inn together. As soon as they arrived in the hall, they realized that the atmosphere here was not right.
Especially Shangguan Yan, her feelings were particularly strong because she found that although the dozen diners sitting in the inn lobby seemed to be eating, drinking, talking and laughing, they always glanced at her from the corner of their eyes, and all of them were filled with a strong murderous intent.
It's the enemy!
Shangguan Yan's heart was trembling and he became alert secretly, but his expression did not change at all. He still walked forward calmly and sat with Lin Pingzhi on an empty table near the counter.
"interesting."
Shangguan Yan could see that Lin Pingzhi was no exception. He traveled through several worlds and his experience in the martial arts world was much richer than Shangguan Yan. After taking his seat, he immediately called out: "Waiter!"
"Here you come."
He shouted as he heard a cry, a waiter with a white towel on his shoulder came out. He rushed to the table with great enthusiasm and asked to the two of them: "Two guests, I wonder what do you want to order?"
Lin Pingzhi was about to answer, but he never thought that at this moment, a young constable with a long waist and knife came in at the door. After entering the door, when this guy saw Shangguan Yan, his eyes lit up. He immediately grabbed the waiter's towel, waved at him, and said, "I'll come, I'll leave it to me, you can greet others."
While speaking, he directly replaced the waiter and came to the table where Lin Pingzhi and Shangguan Yan were sitting opposite each other, and wiped the table for them enthusiastically, and then smiled and said, "Look at the two of you, you probably came from other places, right? I am the most familiar here. I know everything delicious and delicious. Why not let me introduce it to you."
"It's easy to say."
After reaching out without hitting the smiling person, Lin Pingzhi also responded with a smile: "Since you are interested, please trouble you. I will introduce us to some signature dishes."
"No trouble, no trouble."
The young detective responded with a smile. He turned his fingers and reported a lot of names of dishes like a family. Obviously, they were all signature dishes in Tianxiang Inn. While he introduced the dishes, he stared at Shangguan Yan with a pair of eyes and his eyes were very hot. Obviously, he had fallen for Shangguan Yan.
The shopkeeper on the side frowned when he saw someone coming to disrupt the situation, but then he walked over with a pot of tea and greeted with a smile: "The two guests looked very dusty. They must have been rushing a long way. Come, have a cup of tea first to quench their thirst, and the wine and food will be delivered immediately."
As he spoke, he wanted to pour tea for Lin Pingzhi and Shangguan Yan, but he never thought that as soon as he reached out his hand, the young man in charge snatched the teapot by the arrested young man and said, "Shopkeeper, just leave it here to me. Hurry up and take the tofu I just sent to the kitchen and ask them to make some signature dishes."
“Yes, yes.”
As the saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials. Seeing the young constable speak, even though the shopkeeper is reluctant, he has to nod and leave.
The young constable suddenly looked proud when he drove away the shopkeeper. While pouring tea for Lin Pingzhi and Shangguan Yan, he looked at Shangguan Yan happily. The more he looked, he became more and more amazing. He couldn't help but smile and said with a smile: "Two, you are new to you, you are inevitably unfamiliar with the place, but it doesn't matter. In this Sifang City area, if you encounter any trouble, just report my name tofu."
"Oh? Is it?"
When Lin Pingzhi heard this, his lips curled up slightly, and he outlined a playful smile: "I never thought that you have such a great reputation in this Sifang City."
"That's, who is my stinky tofu? The famous Sifang City Captain. Here, there is nothing that I can't handle!"
Hearing Lin Pingzhi's words, the stinky tofu immediately patted his chest and started to brag. As he spoke, he poured himself a cup of tea, picked it up and said, "This young master and this beautiful girl, in order to welcome you to Sifang City, I will use tea instead of wine, and I will toast you a cup."
After saying that, he was going to hand the teacup to his mouth.
"Can't drink!"
At this moment, Shangguan Yan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly took action. She raised her hand gently, and the Phoenix Blood Sword poked out like lightning. In the blink of an eye, it was placed on the teacup in the stinky tofu's hand. The stinky tofu felt that the teacup in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds. His hands sank, and he unconsciously put the teacup back on the table. He was shocked, but he couldn't help but ask with a little curiosity: "Why can't you drink it?"
"poisonous."
As Shangguan Yan spoke, he knocked over the teacup directly. The tea water fell to the ground and suddenly a thick smoke splashed. There was a faint smell of blood in the smoke, which seemed to be a very poisonous thing that was blood-sealed.
Lin Pingzhi raised his hand and gently brushed his hair on his forehead, and asked to the stinky tofu with a smile: "How about it, do you think this tea can be drunk now?"
"this.........."
The stinky tofu had already made a big jump and he was swallowing his saliva. Although he was known as the famous Sifang City, in fact, with his grade, he usually handled some neighborhood disputes, and he was just a small fight. This was the first time he had encountered such a big case of poisoning in public.
If it were in the past, he would have escaped. However, now that there is a great beauty like Shangguan Yan standing in front of him, he can't be too timid and afraid of things. At that moment, he coughed secretly, as if cheering himself up, and then he grabbed the teacup he had turned into inn and slapped it on the table. He calmly opened his face and pulled out the sword from his waist with a clang, looked around the diners in the inn, and asked sternly: "Who is so bold that he dares to poison the tea? Those who know the truth quickly stand up for me!"
Hearing this, Lin Pingzhi's hand, who was stroking his hair, suddenly stopped. He patted his head, looked at each other with Shangguan Yan opposite him, and couldn't help but shake his head, with a look of helplessness on his face.
Shangguan Yan was not much better. Although she remained silent and her face remained unchanged, the weirdness and helplessness in her eyes also revealed that she was not calm at the moment.
There is nothing else, both of them were really shown by the "outstanding performance" of stinky tofu!
Compared to the strangeness and helplessness of Lin Pingzhi and Shangguan Yan, the diners couldn't help but change their faces. Seeing that the poison in the tea was discovered, they did not dare to conflict with the goddess dragon head-on. Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, they decisively chose to retreat.
There were more than a dozen of these diners, and they scattered, but even one of the stinky tofu was unable to stop. Fortunately, at this moment, the shopkeeper heard the movement and came out of the kitchen. Seeing this, the stinky tofu rushed forward, grabbed his clothes, and asked loudly: "Okay, your shopkeeper, Is it because you poisoned the tea?"
"No, no, how could it be the poison I made?"
The shopkeeper waved his hands repeatedly and explained in a panic: "Constable, you have to believe me. No matter how I say it is, the shopkeeper here, how can he poison his customers?"
“That’s right.”
When the stinky tofu heard this, he couldn't help but nodded. Although he didn't completely believe the shopkeeper's words, he couldn't find any evidence to prove that it was the shopkeeper's poisoning. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
Lin Pingzhi and Shangguan Yan looked at the shopkeeper, looked at each other again, and their hearts understood each other. Immediately, Lin Pingzhi said: "Shopkeeper, you should be able to stay here, prepare two clean rooms for us."
"Okay!"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper suddenly burst into laughter, and he quickly broke free from the stinky tofu hands, ran over with a smile to lead the way for Lin Pingzhi and Shangguan Yan, leaving the stinky tofu alone, and was still struggling with the matter of poisoning just now. When he came to his senses, he could only see Shangguan Yan's back. At this moment, his face turned solemn, and he said in his heart: "No, as a famous captain in Sifang City, I can't sit back and watch the beautiful girl in danger, I have to stay and protect her..."
