Chapter 28: Victory Platform
Longqi first dragged Su Tang to a clothing store to buy some clothes. Of course, along the way, there was also time for buying clothes, and Longqi didn't hesitate to show off his sharp tongue skills, criticizing Su Tang's poor taste in dressing. Su Tang had already gotten used to it, saying "Let him say what he wants, I'll just be like a gentle breeze sweeping across the mountain..."
Then he went to the market to buy household items, Longqi was annoyed because there were too many things to buy, pots and pans, beds, sheets, etc. In the end, he simply let someone go home and bring his three maidservants, letting them be in charge of purchasing, then he took Su Tang to the East Market.
Dong City is a slave market, as the name suggests, this is where slaves are bought and sold. Since Su Tang has merged memories from other worlds, he feels somewhat disgusted by the scene in front of him, appearing unenthusiastic. Long Qi took the initiative to choose two girls around 16 or 17 years old for Su Tang.
The names of the maidservants are to be chosen by Master, and Longqi made a very unpleasant suggestion: one was called Xiaowen, and the other was called Xiaoxiang. He also said that in the future, Su Tang might be bullied by Wen Xiang, and after holding back her anger for a long time, she would go home and find two maidservants to vent her frustration on, which would be just right.
Su Tang firmly refused, it took more than 300 days to kill a person, how distorted and twisted the inner world of Xiang Wei is, can be imagined. The distortion itself is already terrifying, and the distorted woman is even more terrifying, Su Tang does not want to provoke her because of this matter.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Su Tang asked: "Where else are we going?"
"Have something to eat and drink, and I'll introduce you to some friends." Longqi said: "But you have to be careful, in that place, don't say the wrong thing."
"Where?"
"De Sheng Tai." Long Qi replied, and then carefully explained it to Su Tang.
De Sheng Tai is a wine house with a long history, almost hundreds of years. However, who the previous owners were and who the current owner is, even Long Qi is not clear. The big shots in Changshan County often go to De Sheng Tai to eat, drink and kill time, forming a tradition.
There is the best wine and food in Changshan County, as well as the most beautiful women. However, they are extremely picky about their guests. All in all, there won't be more than fifty people in Changshan County who have the qualifications to become a customer of De Sheng Tai. It has nothing to do with one's abilities. There aren't few wandering warriors who like to travel alone in the county town, and even fighters, but they can't enter De Sheng Tai unless they receive an invitation from some customer.
In other words, every master of De Sheng Tai represents a force, at least as the core member of his own force.
So, Longqi had to take Su Tang to De Sheng Tai, where it was the best place to understand the intentions and even trends of various families and forces.
After more than ten minutes, Longqi and Su Tang arrived in front of the main building of De Sheng Tai. The main building was magnificent, with at least nine floors. In this world without steel and concrete, it was absolutely an extraordinary feat to build a building so tall and grand.
Two girls in cheongsam dresses were guarding the gate, and when they saw the dragon flag approaching, they lifted their feet and respectfully pulled up the door curtain.
As soon as they entered the main hall, Su Tang saw that the decorations inside were extremely luxurious, with carvings of dragons and phoenixes everywhere, shining brightly in gold. However, there were very few guests, only two tables.
Longqi turned his head and glanced at Su Tang, but what made him disappointed was that Su Tang showed a nonchalant expression, as if the decorations here were very ordinary to him.
The man in his thirties at the table by the window raised his hand, smiling and beckoning to Long Qi. Long Qi said softly, "Wait a minute." He then walked over to the table by the window.
Su Tang nodded and casually glanced around, but when he turned to look at the other side, he almost bumped into someone who was walking from behind.
At this moment, Su Tang felt like he was falling into an icy cave. Two opposing thoughts were desperately trying to control his body, attempting to make corresponding movements. One was to turn around and escape, abandoning everything, while the other was to rush forward and fight, even if it meant dying in a blaze of glory!
The person he almost crashed into was actually Iron Tenglan, whom he had killed with his own hands in the Black Forest!!!!
Although his heart was struggling violently and filled with terror, Su Tang's face remained very calm, thanks to the memories he had absorbed.
Even a dog knows not to bark when biting, barking means you can't bite people. How could you possibly lose to a dog? He seemed to have taught this to a child before, but he really couldn't remember who that child was, only vaguely recalling the emotions in his heart at the time. He hoped that child would become as strong and vigilant as himself.
"Are you blind, young man?!" The old man shouted in displeasure.
"Sorry." Su Tang apologized humbly and stepped aside.
The old man glared at Su Tang with a fierce gaze, continuing to walk forward. A middle-aged man wearing a green robe followed behind him, who was very polite and smiled at Su Tang.
"Old Iron, what do you mean?" Longqi heard the dispute over here and found that Su Tang was being scolded by someone, he got a bit angry.
"Mr. Long, sorry about that, Iron Brother has been in a bad mood these days, please forgive him..." The man in the green robe hastily stepped forward to mediate, then looked at Su Tang: "Mr. Long, this is..."
"He is our new leader of Miao Dao Pavilion, Su Tang." Long Qi said with a gloomy face.
"It's Mr. Su, I've long admired you..." The middle-aged man in green robe said with a smile.
The old man hummed and walked upstairs, just then, the person who was chatting with Long Qi said in a low voice: "Apart from his temper, I found that Iron Old Master hasn't made much progress in recent years."
"That old man scolded: 'Bai Zhenyu, you're not qualified to interfere with my personal affairs.'"
"Two of you, calm down, why bother?" The middle-aged man in green robe was somewhat anxious: "Even if you don't give me Mu's face, shouldn't you think about the rules of this De Sheng Tai?"
"September 9th, dragon raises its head, the day is almost here, I'm not in a hurry for these two days." The person who was chatting with Long Qi smiled.
The old man hummed again and walked up the stairs to the upper floor.
"What just happened?" Long Qi asked in a low voice.
What's going on? Su Tang is also inexplicably confused, how did that guy survive? And... seeing himself being completely unmoved, just scolding a sentence...
"I don't know either." Su Tang shook his head: "He is..."
"Is it Iron Tsang Hai or Iron Tsang Lan? I can't tell them apart either, anyway those two brothers are both extremely annoying guys." said Long Qi.
"Twins?" Su Tang let out a long breath.
"What's wrong?" Long Qi only then discovered that Su Tang's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
"It's nothing..." Su Tang said with a bitter smile, he was still in shock, if he had really lost control earlier, whether it was turning around to escape or launching an attack, either way would have been disastrous.
