As soon as they entered the room, they were immersed in a warm atmosphere, completely different from the cold outside. There was a stove in the room.
The station master originally couldn't be bothered with them, but when he saw that they were all armed, he immediately changed his attitude and personally welcomed them, asking if they wanted to rest or stay.
After leaving Jiuling County, they didn't stop and traveled day and night. When they encountered a heavy snowstorm, they wanted to rest and reorganize themselves, so they asked for a few rooms.
However, Duan Hu and the others didn't understand why Niu Youdao and Black Peony wanted two rooms. Since they were already like that, they might as well stay together.
After settling down, they met in the main hall again and ordered wine, food, and soup. They ate something hot, after all, they had been frozen for the whole journey.
Even though they were all cultivators, they were still made of flesh and blood, and the desire for good food was unavoidable.
The food and wine were served one after another, and they slowly ate around the table, chatting and laughing.
By now, Black Peony and the others could be said to have walked out of the shadow of being an itinerant cultivator. Even though they were still itinerant cultivators, it didn't matter anymore. Their mentality had completely changed.
There was a saying that peace of mind was home. Following by Niu Youdao's side, they truly felt at ease.
Lei Zongkang would occasionally join in the conversation and join in the laughter, but he would still occasionally look at Niu Youdao's expression.
Even though Niu Youdao hadn't said that he would accept him, he hadn't said that he would drive him away either. After spending some time together, he gradually became more familiar with Niu Youdao.
He also learned one thing. The slave contracts of Black Peony and the others weren't with Niu Youdao, but had been given to Black Peony and the others for safekeeping.
Black Peony and the others also didn't understand why Daoye was still unwilling to accept Lei Zongkang. Things had already come to this, so what was the difference between this and accepting him?
In reality, Duan Hu and Wu San 'er had already instigated Black Peony to plead with Niu Youdao, but Niu Youdao was noncommittal and refused to give in!
This feeling made them feel uneasy for Lei Zongkang. However, there was nothing they could do about it. At present, they could only let Lei Zongkang be like this.
The sound of horses neighing could be faintly heard from outside. Not long after, the door curtain was opened and three men and a woman came in. The four of them were full of vigor, and it was obvious that they were not ordinary people. All of them were armed, which made Niu Youdao and the others raise their eyebrows.
Two middle-aged men were at the back, and a woman was at the front, accompanying a handsome young man. She was helping the young man take off his fur coat. It was obvious that the young man was the leader of the group.
The arrogance in the young man's demeanor could not be concealed. He raised his head and puffed out his chest, which was a little too big. The gazes of Niu Youdao and the others immediately fell on his face. His bright eyes, clear starry eyes, chubby cherry lips were very unique, his skin was porcelain white and delicate, and his earlobes were pierced.
Niu Youdao and the rest looked at each other. Although the other party was dressed as a man, even a blind person could tell that it was a woman. Furthermore, she looked like a beauty. How could a woman disguise as a man like this? How could she be so arrogant?
"Interesting …" Niu Youdao muttered.
The newcomer quickly settled down at the relay station and turned around to appear in the main hall. Just like Niu Youdao and the others, he ordered something hot to eat and drink.
Niu Youdao lightly knocked the chopsticks in his hand on the plate. "It's tasteless. I want to eat red braised pork!"
Hei Peony and the others looked at each other. After causing so much trouble, he still dared to order red braised pork?
One by one, they turned to look at the people at the other table and faintly sensed that Niu Youdao was doing this on purpose.
Now, Lei Zongkang, who was rushing to do everything, stood up, and Wu Sanliang followed suit. The two of them went to look for the relay station master. Anything could be negotiated if they had money. Borrowing the kitchen was nothing.
However, this was a one-story house, and the kitchen was a little far from here. Of course, it was not that far.
After waiting for a while, the two of them returned. Lei Zongkang carried a plate of red braised pork, placed it on the table, and sat down.
They picked up their chopsticks. It had been a few days since they had tasted this dish. Now that they had eaten this dish, the boiled sliced pork dipped in sauce was simply rubbish.
Not long after, a strange fragrance wafted through the main hall.
The people at the other table looked over one by one. The young woman dressed as a man stared at them with her big eyes. She seemed to be watching what Niu Youdao and the others were eating with chopsticks.
The woman saw the young woman's reaction and stood up. She walked over to the table and looked at the food in the plate. She then turned to the relay station master and the others who were also smelling the fragrance and looking over. She shouted, "Relay station master, give us a portion of their food as well."
Hei Peony and the others looked at Niu Youdao and saw Niu Youdao wearing a mysterious and reserved smile.
The relay station master walked over quickly. When he saw what the woman was pointing at, he was somewhat speechless. With a bitter face, he said, "Honored lady, I am truly sorry. This small station cannot serve."
The woman's face darkened. "What do you mean? Are you afraid we can't afford it? "With a flip of her hand, she took out a gold coin." Serve it immediately. "
The relay station master didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Honored lady, we really can't serve it. This small station doesn't have the skills. They made it themselves."
Niu Youdao raised his head and smiled. "Miss, please don't make things difficult for him. The food we are eating is a secret recipe. The number of people in the world who have tasted it can be counted on one hand. They really can't serve it."
"…" The woman was speechless. She turned to look at her table.
Upon hearing that it was something that not many people in the world had tasted, the young woman couldn't hold herself back any longer. She stood up and walked over, as if she wanted to see what it was.
The two middle-aged men walked over as well. They also wanted to see what it was.
The young woman stood by the table and revealed a probing gaze. She discovered that the thing in the plate looked like meat, but the style was indeed something she had never seen before. She then took a whiff of the alluring fragrance and asked in a voice as clear as an oriole's, "Is this delicious?"
Not only was the woman dressed as a man outrageous, but her voice was also undisguised. It was clearly a woman's voice.
Niu Youdao said, "It's hard to say. Everyone's taste is different. But you can try it."
The young woman looked extremely disgusted. She let out a long drawl and said, "There's your saliva. It's so dirty. I'm not going to try it!" However, she tilted her head at the woman.
The woman could only awkwardly say to Niu Youdao, "That's fine. How about I try it?"
Niu Youdao waved his hand at both sides. Black Peony and the others stood to the side and made way.
The woman didn't use the chopsticks on this side. She went back to get her own chopsticks. When she came back, she tried to pick up a piece that was still warm. Someone beside her took out a small porcelain bottle. She dipped her finger in some white powder and flicked it onto the meat. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, the woman slowly placed the meat into her mouth.
As she slowly chewed, the woman's eyes gradually brightened.
The young woman hurriedly asked, "Is it delicious?"
After the woman swallowed, she nodded and said, "Young master, it is indeed a rare delicacy."
The word 'young master' made Niu Youdao and the others speechless. They almost got goosebumps. How could this sissy have the nerve to call him young master? Did he really think they were blind?
The sissy young man immediately looked very interested. He turned around and asked Niu Youdao, "How about you make one for us as well?"
Niu Youdao extended his hand and said, "We walk the same road, and we make friends. Since we're fated to meet, if you don't mind, you can sit down and eat together."
The sissy once again showed disdain. He let out a long drawl and shook his head, saying, "No, there's your saliva. Help us make another one."
Of the two middle-aged men, one had a helpless expression, while the other rubbed his nose awkwardly. It was indeed a little inappropriate to use the tone of someone asking for a favor. It was possible that they would offend someone and cause a conflict. However, the two of them seemed to be helpless against the young man.
The woman looked at them apologetically, as if telling them not to take it to heart.
Niu Youdao took in their reactions. He originally had the intention to sound them out, so he shook his head and said, "Young master, please forgive us. We are not here to do odd jobs."
The sissy said, "I won't let you work for nothing. I'll give you money."
Niu Youdao said, "Giving money? That's good. However, the price is a little expensive. I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it."
Black Peony and the others glanced at Niu Youdao and muttered in their hearts, 'Here comes the trouble!'
After following Niu Youdao for a period of time, they more or less knew his character.
The sissy raised his chin arrogantly, "Speak, how much?"
Niu Youdao said indifferently, "Not much, just one million gold coins!"
The sissy lowered his arrogant chin and widened his eyes, asking in shock, "How much?"
Niu Youdao said word by word clearly, "One million gold coins!"
Black Peony and the others broke out in a cold sweat. This price … These people were not ordinary people at first glance. Daoye, you're clearly blackmailing them like this. You'll get into trouble.
Sure enough, noticing that the two middle-aged men slightly narrowed their eyes, the woman's gaze also gradually turned cold.
The sissy cried out, "One million gold coins! Are you robbing us?"
Niu Youdao tilted his head to Black Peony and said, "Gold notes!"
Black Peony didn't know what he wanted to do. She looked at him with an inquiring expression, asking how much he wanted.
Niu Youdao hooked his finger. Black Peony took out a stack of gold notes and gave it to him. It was no less than eight hundred thousand gold coins. She felt somewhat apprehensive. Was it good to show off his wealth like this?
Niu Youdao took the stack of gold notes and directly threw it in front of the woman standing by the table. "I don't like to cause trouble. The less trouble, the better. Can I buy some peace? Take it. Be on your way and don't disturb us from eating. "
The eyes of the few people opposite them immediately stared at the stack of gold notes on the table. They couldn't estimate how many there were, but they could tell that they were all the largest denomination of ten thousand gold coins. A rough estimate would be at least sixty to seventy of them.
The atmosphere at the scene froze. The sissy suddenly stepped forward and took the gold notes to check. It was as if he couldn't believe that there was such a generous person and suspected that they were fake.
However, after checking, her face turned red. She grabbed some more to check and finally slammed it back on the table. She flew into a rage out of humiliation as if she had suffered a great humiliation. She turned around and shouted to the people on her side, "One million it is. Give him the money. Today, I will make him do it no matter what!"
Niu Youdao's eyebrows slightly moved. Then, he casually picked up his chopsticks and picked up some meat. He slowly put it into his mouth and chewed.
The two middle-aged men and the woman could tell from the sissy's reaction that these gold notes were real!
The three of them retracted their previously unfriendly expressions and looked at Niu Youdao with slight vigilance. A person who could casually throw out such a huge sum of money to buy peace and whose background was unknown caused them to be somewhat fearful. They were also afraid of provoking someone they couldn't afford to provoke.
