How could Lu Mian not know that the woman was just cheating for food and drink? Although she was well-dressed, the shoes under her feet were badly worn. The action of touching her purse just now was to show off her wealth in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of spies like them. It’s a sign of guilty conscience. If you really have money, why do you need to emphasize it?

But none of this has anything to do with him!The only thing that interested him was the weapon wrapped on the woman's back.In today's troubled times, the imperial court can't control these gangsters holding guns and knives, so why should they be secretive?
He asked Qin Dongsheng: "Dongsheng, is there a weapon behind her?"

Qin Dongsheng is a human puppet, and although his senses are not as abnormal as Li Shun's, they are far superior to ordinary people. The reason why he recognized the woman as having no money was because he smelled the smell of stones in the woman's purse.Lu Mian wanted to confirm that if that woman traveled around the world, it would be possible for her to wrap a piece of wood as a weapon to hide her from others.

Qin Dongsheng affirmed: "It's an iron weapon. Brother, do you suspect that what she is carrying on her back is what the emperor is looking for?"

Lu Mian couldn't confirm it. This move seemed to be a cover-up. Everyone was aboveboard, but she was the only one who was secretive. Didn't this make it clear that something was wrong?The premise is that others know that the sword is the key to the dragon vein.

Of course, this is all speculation on his part.He has grown a lot in these days.His initial dream was just to be a traveling businessman, seeing the outside world, goods and families, but he didn't expect the gears of fate to push him to his current position, and his state of mind changed accordingly. He helped the emperor suppress the rebellion and stabilize the world. There is something to dream about.

"Your noodles! After you finish eating, leave now!"

The waiter's words interrupted Lu Mian's thoughts. He took the noodles and squatted on the ground with Qin Dongsheng, about to eat.

Qin Dongsheng's nose moved slightly and said, "Brother, he spit in our faces!"

Lu Mian's eyes became fierce. There are always people who like to use the little power they have to embarrass people who are inferior to them.The existence of the Internal Affairs Department is dedicated to dealing with these insects and bringing peace and stability to the people!
Lu Mian held the noodles in his hands and strode into the restaurant.The waiter was serving food to the woman. When he saw Lu Mian coming in, he immediately chased her away: "Hey! How dare you come in!"

Lu Mian smiled slightly and put the bowl of noodles directly on the waiter's head: "We are all poor people, why do you have to embarrass me? You can spit in our faces, you can do such a thing!"

The woman had just taken two bites when she saw this scene. After hearing Lu Mian's words, she felt sick to her stomach and screamed: "How could you do this!"

Although Lu Mian was talking about spitting into the noodles and not into the food she was eating, she was still disgusted and had a psychological shadow.

When the waiter saw that his behavior was discovered, he was surprised at first, and then refused to admit it: "You stinky beggar, I gave you noodles with good intentions, but you still dislike it? People like you can eat even a piece of shit. Go down." He said, and he was about to fight.

Lu Mian sneered. Although he had never practiced martial arts, he had followed his grandfather and practiced the art of battle formation since he was a child. After joining the Internal Affairs Department, he also held an important position and had no shortage of meat and vegetables. He was naturally strong and could dodge sideways. He stumbled, so he made the waiter eat shit. Unfortunately, his teeth bit his tongue, and his mouth was full of blood.

At this time, the shopkeeper came out and said angrily: "You dare to cause trouble in our store?"

The woman said angrily: "The waiter in your store spit in our food, what do you think we should do?"

The shopkeeper glanced at the waiter, but instead of blaming him, he said to the woman, "What evidence do you have!"

The woman looked at the food on her table. It was very normal. She was speechless for a moment, and finally suppressed her words: "Then I don't want it anymore." The shopkeeper continued: "You have eaten this food too. If you eat it, you have to give it to me." Money. Five taels of silver, please."

The woman's eyes widened and she said, "How dare you ask for five taels of silver for this table of food?"

The shopkeeper sneered: "Don't even ask, all the hotels and restaurants in our Baota County are priced at this price. If you can't afford it, don't come in."

The owner of this restaurant was a well-known wealthy man nearby. After Chen Yue entered the city, he even gave his concubine to him and gained asylum.

Now in this Pagoda County, how can one do business without the permission of the rebels?However, in today's troubled times, the people have no money. How can they afford a restaurant? If they can eat in a restaurant, they are a group of rebels. Do they still need to pay for food?Some people who have scruples will keep accounts, but they won't be able to recover their money in a long time. Many restaurants were ruined in this way.Therefore, those hotels and restaurants with background will kill strangers.

The woman had no money to begin with, so how could she come up with the money?It happened that after she finished eating, she also wanted to find an excuse to get away with it, which was also part of her plan.I was just disgusted just now and forgot my plan for a moment, but now I quickly remembered and my attitude changed: "What if I don't want to give it?"

The shopkeeper's expression changed slightly and he said: "Okay, this is a freeloader. It depends on whether you have the ability."

The woman smashed the table in front of her with one palm: "Can you eat this?"

The shopkeeper was so frightened that this little girl who looked weak and incompetent was actually a martial arts cultivator?But, what about martial arts cultivators?Nowadays, the most indispensable thing in this pagoda city is martial arts!He clapped his hands, and two big men walked out of the back hall.

The shopkeeper said: "You are not the first person to want to take advantage of the fact that you are a warrior. We have been prepared for a long time. These two are the guards under the Pagoda King. If you know what you are doing, you should accept your advice."

The woman looked at the two big men and said disdainfully: "So what?" She took out her purse and poured out a pile of stones: "I have no money."

The shopkeeper was also stunned for a while. The little girl who seemed to be gentle and quiet actually acted rogue.

Lu Mian was also shocked by the woman's direct reaction and felt something was wrong. This woman seemed to be deliberately irritating the shopkeeper?Seeing the tension between the two parties, he quietly left the restaurant. A gentleman would not stand behind a dangerous wall. He had no cultivation, so he would not get involved.

Two big men surrounded the woman.She looked extremely calm and touched the sword wrapped in cloth.She had already inquired about anyone in the city who had a relationship with the so-called Pagoda King. Having no money was secondary, but the most important thing was to let the Pagoda King know that she had what he wanted.So before she entered, she double-checked the name of the restaurant.

The woman finally uncovered the cloth wrapped around the sword and drew out the sword. It was a very strange sword with an extremely thin blade, like a cicada wing, and the entire body was transparent.

Lu Mian and Qin Dongsheng saw the sword through the window, and their eyes suddenly lit up.In fact, they didn't know what the swords they were looking for looked like, but the emperor had said that those swords were made of special materials. Compared with other swords, they were as dazzling as fireflies in the night.

Now it seems that this should be it! (End of chapter)
