Chapter 14
For a lunch, the banquet was full of sour greetings and compliments, and there were very few people who were actually eating. Everyone came with some purpose, and it was too late to hook up with those with high status in the world. I can't wait to be divided into several parts to curry favor with one person. I can't even talk enough with one mouth. How can I have a chance to eat...
While gnawing on the braised chicken wings, Shao Yong listened to the so-called chivalrous men around them discuss topics such as expanding their territory, recruiting disciples, expanding their business, etc. The more they listened, the more they felt the same and boring.
During the entire banquet, no one concentrated on eating.
Except for Shao Yong.
...Oh, I can barely count Zhong Li.
However, when Zhong Li ate, he chewed slowly, with a blank expression on his face, and he couldn't tell what he liked to eat at all. He felt that everything he ate was like chewing wax, without any taste at all.
On the other hand, Shao Yong, with his mouth full of oil and his hands full of oil, with chicken legs in his left hand and scallion pancakes in his right hand, ate it with great joy.
Zhong Li found it interesting, so he simply pushed the dishes in front of him to Shao Yong's: "Eat slowly, I have some more here."
"Mmm... delicious! Thank you..." Shao Yong's mouth almost didn't rest, he hiccupped, and ate again the carrot and horseshoe cake that Zhong Li handed him.
"Pig, are you still going this afternoon?" Zhong Li asked.
Shao Yong raised his eyes to look at Zhong Li, with a little puzzled look in his eyes, and said, "Go, why don't you go to see the excitement?" He has already been able to automatically ignore the nickname Zhong Li gave him, or rather, he heard it. Also pretend not to hear.
"There were no experts on the first day." Zhong Li said.
"Isn't there a master next to me?" Shao Yong smiled and said: "With you here, I still want to see what their skills are doing. I want to see if there is anything interesting..."
Zhong Li seemed to be in a good mood, and said with a smile, "Okay, it's up to you."
As he spoke, he handed a dish of steamed meat to Shao Yong from the side.
At the end of the meal, the dishes in front of the knights were basically untouched, but they drank a lot of wine, and many people's cheeks flushed from drinking. When they passed in front of Shao Yong, they couldn't help but stare blankly. squinted.
I saw a pile of dishes piled up in front of Shao Yong, all of which were completely eaten, while the boy with a baby face who seemed to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old was still eating.
The handsome young man next to the boy looked at him dotingly, and took a plate from the side to eat from time to time.
"It's too unsatisfactory. The dishes in the villa are so big and contain so few dishes, one dish is not enough to eat..." On the way back, Shao Yong kept complaining.
Zhong Li said with a smile: "This kind of banquet is not for people to eat well. Most of them will have extra meals after they go back."
"Isn't this just asking for guilt? You should eat well when you eat..." Shao Yong disagreed.
"Do you think everyone eats like you?" Zhong Li laughed.
"How can you have the strength to do other things if you don't fill your stomach..." Shao Yong shook his head and said, "You don't need strength to be a chivalrous man? You don't need strength to kill and set fire? You don't need strength to fall in love?"
"But an occasion like this is inevitable." Zhong Li said: "Even in the Jianghu, they always act around the word of profit, and there are not many real pleasures and enmities..."
Shao Yong nodded reluctantly: "I also know that there is always a gap between ideals and reality. This is a book I wrote, and I can't completely control these things..."
Zhong Li: "It's good that you know."
Shao Yong frowned, looked at him and said, "There seems to be something else in your words?"
"Some things are beyond your control." Zhong Li said with a smile, "It's good that you understand this."
Shao Yong blinked and said, "What do you mean...?"
Zhong Li stopped talking about this topic with him, and walked ahead of him and said, "If you don't want to be entangled by Shi Weixiao and Feng Shaoyue, two lingering people, just follow quickly."
"Hey...wait, wait for me!" Shao Yong gasped and said, "Exercising vigorously after eating a full meal can easily cause appendicitis! Do you know anything about medicine?"
"Ha..." Shao Yong yawned, and looked at the two strong men on the ring with dull eyes, his eyes filled with water.
Zhong Li, who was sitting beside him, said: "Go back to sleep when you're sleepy."
"No... not sleepy." Shao Yong yawned again, and supported his head: "I'm too full, and all my energy is used to digest the accumulated food in my stomach..."
Zhong Li hooked the corner of her mouth: "I told you not to eat so much."
Shao Yong said angrily: "Then who keeps handing me food!"
Zhong Li said: "I just saw that you wanted it, so I just gave it to you."
"Mouth! You definitely did it on purpose!" Shao Yong stared.
Zhong Li: "Well, I did it on purpose... Would you like to lean on me and sleep for a while, and I will wake you up when there is a wonderful fight."
"This..." Shao Yong's eyes were shaken.
Zhong Li said again: "Don't you say that I am an expert, can't you trust the eyes of an expert?"
Shao Yong finally couldn't resist the drowsiness: "Okay... remember to wake me up, anyone who spreads poisonous powder or needles must call me..."
Zhong Li smiled, put Shao Yong's powerless head on her shoulder, and said in a low voice, "I must call you."
As a result, Shao Yong slept until the evening, and there were only two banners left on the ring, which were blown by the wind and fluttered. The orange light of the setting sun dyed all the scenery on the earth with an orange edge, and the tired bird One after another returned to their nests, and the chirping of birds sounded in the air.
Shao Yong rubbed his eyes and leaned against Zhong Li in a daze. After a long while, he asked in a daze, "...where is he?"
Zhong Li said: "All gone."
"What?!" Shao Yong quickly sat up: "Why didn't you call me?"
"It's nothing to see." Zhong Li said lightly, "There is no one who sprinkles poisonous powder or needles...the fights are all ordinary skills, and none of them can make people's eyes shine." Listening to Zhong Li's tone , seems to be very contemptuous of the first day of the competition.
Shao Yong nodded in a daze: "Oh... so..."
"It's time to deliver food when I go back to the kitchen." Zhong Li said.
Shao Yong rubbed his stomach: "You say that, I'm a little hungry again..."
Zhong Li didn't know what to say: "Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, you are really a pig."
Shao Yong blinked his eyes that became watery after yawning: "...you keep calling me a pig, don't you have nothing to do recently, I'm so free..."
Zhong Li smiled and said, "You are really self-conscious."
Shao Yong looked at him seriously and said: "Appropriately showing your incompetence will help the enemy relax their guard against you. Didn't you see that everyone has fed me like a pig these two days..."
Zhong Li: "..."
Shao Yong stretched again, and patted Zhong Li on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I won't be your teammate like a pig."
Zhong Li: "?"
When Shao Yong was about to explain what a teammate like a pig is, he looked up and saw a black figure flashing behind the tree not far away, he blinked again, and then turned around and asked: "Just now...is there something wrong? Where is the thing?"
Zhong Li said lightly: "No, you read it wrong, right?"
"Maybe..." Shao Yong didn't pay much attention and scratched his face.I'm a little hungry, the ring is over long ago, even though it's boring, Shao Yong still has great expectations for tonight's food: "Zhong Li, what will we eat tonight, I saw someone picking it in the lake today. Lianpeng, will there be lotus seed porridge tonight... Zhong Li?"
Zhong Li's eyes were not on Shao Yong, but a little confused.
After a while, Zhong Li said: "I have something to do and leave for a while, you go back to eat first."
"Huh?" Shao Yong looked at him suspiciously.
"Don't ask so many questions." Zhong Li rubbed his hair and said.
Shao Yong was still a little confused, his eyelids were drooping, and his breathing was a little heavy. Seeing that Zhong Li had left and walked away, he vaguely remembered what the two of them had just said.
"Wait a minute... Does Zhong Li have something important to distract me?" Shao Yongsi finally realized something was wrong after thinking about it, and said with a frown: "He must have a secret!"
So he followed Zhong Li's footsteps without even thinking about it.
Zhong Li was whispering something to a man in black.
From Shao Yong's point of view, he couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly. He could only tell from his figure that he was a tall and young man. He was in good shape, slightly taller than Zhong Li, and had a stronger body.
Zhong Li's face was expressionless, and he would say a word or two from time to time, but he would never say too much.
The man kept his back on Shao Yong all the time, Shao Yong was helpless, he wanted to use some means to make the man turn his head several times, but he didn't dare to do it every time, for fear of being discovered.
After waiting for a long time until the man floated up to the roof and left, Shao Yong still couldn't see the mysterious man's face clearly.
Instead, I heard Zhong Li's voice: "What are you doing there, why are you still not coming out?"
Shao Yong's heart almost jumped out of his throat, he squeezed his fingers nervously: Is he talking about me?How did he find me?Will he be angry...
Unexpectedly, before Shao Yong responded, Zhong Li walked towards him directly: "Shao Yong."
"Ah!" Shao Yong never expected that Zhong Li would call out his name directly, and couldn't help but nervously said: "I...I'm not...I didn't eavesdrop on you on purpose, and I can't hear anything..."
"I know." Zhong Li said: "Just relying on your little trick, let alone me, people in the Demon Cult have already discovered it, but we all know that you can't hear anything, that's why you stay here over there."
Shao Yong: "You...you know everything? How do you know it's mine?"
"No murderous intent." Zhong Li said: "You don't have any thoughts about me, so you won't notice your murderous intent. Also, the faint scent of pastries on your body, I guess it's you."
"It turned out to be judged based on murderous intent...Wait! You said you were a member of the Demon Cult? You cooperated with the Demon Cult?!" Shao Yong said in surprise.
Zhong Li's expression remained calm: "So what?"
