Chapter 896.

After settling down his own mules and horses, Old Handleman led the fellows in the merchant caravan into the Tongfu Inn.

Wang Duan was also among them.

The lobby of this inn was large, with four stout wooden pillars supporting a wide and long roof, and a dozen or so wine tables were set up inside, and it was surrounded by an elevated and elevated second floor, which also had quite a few tables set up.

A branch hanging on the wall of the oil lamps, the entire lobby illuminated brightly, the sound of people quite lively.

Merchants, pedestrians, hunters and solo travelers from the north and south converged here, drinking and eating meat in big bowls, some whispering to each other, and some talking and laughing loudly.

Wang Chen had just stepped into the threshold when he felt a hot air mixed with the smell of wine and meat.

This was perhaps the scent that belonged to the jianghu!

The old headman familiarly arranged for the merchants to sit down in the seats by the corner of the lobby, which was the only place where there were still a few empty tables.

Then he greeted an innkeeper over.

“Master Sun, you’re here, did the journey go well?”

The innkeeper obviously knew the old headman, and greeted him warmly with a smile, “There’s freshly slaughtered beef in the evening, would you gentlemen like to have a few pounds first to pad your stomachs?”

“Then let’s start with thirty pounds of roasted beef in sauce!”

The old headman smiled brightly, “And three jars of rice wine, by the way, where is your boss’s wife?”

“The boss’s wife is in the back kitchen as a supervisor!”

The innkeeper squeezed his eyes at him, “There are too many guests today, the boss is too busy, the soy sauce beef you want will have to wait for a while, I’ll bring the rice wine and small dishes over first.”

“No harm done.”

The old general waved his hand, “Go about your business.”

After dismissing the fellow, the old general said to Wang Duan, who was sitting on the side, “This Tong Fu Inn has been open here for a few years, and business has always been good, it’s safe to stay here.”

As soon as his words fell, the cloth curtain behind the counter in front of him lifted, and a woman in a red dress came out gracefully.

The other side looks more than twenty thirty years old less than the appearance, is a woman’s most mature and beautiful age, melon face Danfeng eyes, agar nose high up flaming red lips, eyebrows and eyes with a smile, revealing an indescribable flavor!

At the moment this red dress woman came out, the original clamor of the lobby suddenly became quiet.

A pair of blazing gazes focused on her body.

“This is Tong Blessed Inn’s proprietress, Boss Tong ……”

The old handle lowered his voice and said, “Little brother, don’t have any delusions!”

Wang Chen smiled.

To support such a large inn in the middle of nowhere and still have a thriving business, how could one do it without some ability?

This Tong Boss is as beautiful as she is, but she is probably a rose with thorns.

Look around those people greedy and scrupulous eyes know, that is certainly not to be messed with the role!

But there were also a few who didn’t shoot themselves in the foot who came to the front of the counter and smiled playfully as they talked to the boss’s wife.

And this Tong Boss smilingly, with a look of no hard feelings, skillfully greeted these guests without giving them the slightest bit of advantage.

At this time, the drinks and small dishes at Wang Chen’s table were served.

The old headman personally poured a bowl of rice wine for Wang Chuan and said smilingly, “The rice wine and soy sauce beef of Tong Fu Inn are a double masterpiece, every time I am here to beat the heat, I have to drink a few bowls of it and eat some meat in order to sleep comfortably, little brother, you also come to taste it.”

“Thanks.”

Wang Chen picked up the bowl of wine and took a sip – the flavor of this rice wine was really good.

The degree of the wine was very low, the taste was sweet and did not burn the throat, and it fell into the stomach and was warm and comfortable.

He drank two bowls in a row.

“Ah!”

It was at this time that a sudden loud scream attracted everyone’s attention.

Only to see a cloth-clothed man rolled down on the floor in front of the counter, his right hand holding his broken left hand crying out in a ghostly manner.

And the Tong Boss standing behind the counter frowned and said, “The screaming is too unpleasant, come on people, throw him out for me.”

As soon as her words fell, an innkeeper immediately came over and grabbed the cloth-clad man on the ground.

Numbly dragged him to the door and threw him out!

Bang!

Immediately, someone clapped his hands and glared at Boss Tong, “Tong Xiangyu, don’t go too far!”

“Excessive?”

Tong Boss instantly sank his face, “Is this guy the one who can touch my hand? Borrowing wine and acting crazy, it’s already polite of me not to cut off his hand, do you want to weigh your weight as well?”

The other party was suddenly speechless.

He knew very well that his brother’s temperament, a few two rice wine fell into the belly and then lost control.

However, in full view of the public, being pointed at and cursed like this, he really couldn’t swallow this breath.

“Who!”

The next moment, accompanied by a thunderous roar, a short and stout man with a face full of horizontal meat rushed out from the back kitchen, holding two bone chopping knives in his hands.

He stared at a pair of copper bell eyes and roared, “Touch my maiden’s hand and see if these two knives of mine promise!”

Everyone in the surrounding area was shocked to the point of their eardrums hurting, and could not help but be appalled in their hearts.

This short and stout man was holding the two knives with a raging momentum, and the whole person was diffused with an invisible killing intent.

The man who was targeted by him immediately had sweat on his forehead and could not help but have his legs warring.

He braced himself not to retreat, and panicked as he fished out a silver ingot from his bosom and slapped it on the table, “No need to look for it.”

After saying this, he turned his head and ran towards the door.

The few people at the same table hurriedly followed, not daring to stay a moment longer.

The short and stout man let out a “humph” and swept his eyes to the left and right, none of them dared to meet his eyes.

“Boss, what are you doing!”

Tong Boss came out from behind the counter and said in a petulant voice, “Scare the customers away, see how I’ll clean you up!”

Saying that, he twisted the short and stout man’s ear.

“Aigoo!”

The short and stout man immediately showed a bitter face and lost all his killing intent, and was obediently twisted back to the back kitchen by the Tong Boss.

The originally tense atmosphere in the lobby dissipated a lot, and everyone continued to drink and chat, only their voices were much lower.

Some of them came to Tong Fu Inn for the first time, seeing the owner of the inn for the first time, and felt that this couple was really special, with words such as “flowers on cow dung” constantly being uttered.

To be honest, compared with the charming Tong Boss, her husband is short, ugly and rude, not matching at all.

The old handle smiled, “These people ah ……”

Rumble ~

It was at this time that the sound of loud thunder suddenly came from outside.

Then one after another, sheepishly one sound after another, as if the entire heaven and earth were about to collapse down.

It was obvious that a heavy rain was coming.

Soon gusts of wind poured in through the door of the inn and carried a bit of rain with it.

The inn’s fellows were busy closing the door to prevent the wind and rain from intruding.

Wang Chen’s heart stirred and he turned his head towards the door.

At this time of heavy rain and wind, he heard a different movement and felt that something was about to happen again.

And the matter would not be small!
