"Dongxiao, Dongxiao, your martial arts are much higher than Xu Lang and Shen Hanshu, right?" The little prince sat watching Dongxiao chopping wood, but this time the chopping wood seemed to be a little different from usual, bigger.
Dong Xiao was chopping wood with his head down, but didn't answer.
"Dongxiao, what do you use the chopping wood for? It doesn't seem to be the same as usual." The little prince asked again.
"The boss used to make roasted whole lamb." Dong Xiao replied in a deep voice.
"Hey, Dong Xiao, how much does the boss pay you for a year? I'll pay you ten times, how about you follow me back to the palace?" The little prince whispered, "I'm very sincere, and I live well and eat well. I'll send you a lot at the end of the year."
Before Dong Xiao could answer, Konghou, who was passing by, sneered and dropped a sentence: "wash and sleep." After speaking, Konghou left.
Confused, the little prince blinked and looked at Konghou's leaving back, then turned to look at Dongxiao, and asked in confusion, "What does Konghou mean?"
"You should think about it in your dreams." Dong Xiao explained expressionlessly.
The corner of the little prince's mouth twitched. Although he knew that it was not so easy to dig a wall, this was too hurtful.
"Are you all servants of Boss Tian? That's why you're so determined, or is it because she saved your lives, that's why?" The little prince couldn't help but ask again.
Dong Xiao raised his head and glanced at the little prince, fell silent for a while, but still replied, "little prince."
"Huh?" The little prince opened his eyes wide and waited for Dong Xiao's answer.
"You'd better wash and sleep." Dong Xiao put down the axe in his hand, got up to wash his hands and changed his clothes, and was ready to go out to buy things. The meat patties of a meat pie shop on the other side of East Street are almost ready to go out of the pot, and you can buy them.
The little prince's face collapsed and he watched Dong Xiao's back go away.
Xu Lang came over at this time and saw the collapsed little prince, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Little prince, are you still trying to dig a foot in the wall? I think you should stop doing useless work."
"Don't you think it's strange for a tavern to hide dragons and crouch tigers like this, Master Xu?" The little prince stood up and asked with a serious face.
"You should have read the Jianghu Character Book, Little Prince, right?" Xu Lang did not answer the little prince's question, but instead threw a question.
"I have seen it. You and Shen Hanshu are both in the top ten, one is eighth, and the other is tenth." The little prince answered quickly. Of course, he who yearned for Jianghu knew a lot about the map of Jianghu characters. This map is updated every year. It was co-written by Jianghu and the imperial court. It recorded the names of the masters in this world, the weapons they used, their famous tricks, and their estimated strength rankings.
"However, I think that the eighth is a very flattering me. In this world, there are many masters who are hidden from the world and are not recorded in it. Some masters prefer to return to the original life. I think the boss likes this kind of master. Life hidden in the city." Xu Lang smiled, "There are still many masters in this world, little prince needn't be surprised."
The little prince was silent and did not speak.
Tianmiao's voice came from the front hall: "Do you eat sugar-fried chestnuts? I just bought it, it's soft and sweet."
"Eat!" Xu Lang shouted to the front hall, turned his head and walked forward.
The little prince looked at Xu Lang's hurried pace and was stunned. He felt as if he had understood a little bit of the joy of life hidden in the city.
The little prince also went to the front hall and saw two big bags of hot chestnuts on the table, and Tian Miao was about to eat it. Kong Hou stood at the door and was paying a chestnut vendor.
