Chapter 139 Breaking News
In the evening, in the guest room of the Lu family in Gaojia Village.
Just as Lu Ren, Lu Ci and several other elders of the Lu family were discussing the shocking battle that took place during the day, the competition for tomorrow's quota, the maintenance of sect relationships and other matters in the house.
Suddenly, several people heard a click outside the window, and then a strong smell of alcohol blew into the room along with the cold evening wind.
Mr. Lu smelled the odor, smiled, shook his head and explained to everyone.
"He's still the same as always, spreading throughout the city in no time. The smell of alcohol always arrives before his people do."
After saying that, Master Lu looked towards the window and said, "Am I right, Shopkeeper Liu of Jianghu Inn?"
"Hey hey hey."
A drunkard's silly laugh was heard outside the window, followed by the sound of slurping wine, which rang in everyone's ears.
A few people turned around and found that there was already a tall man wearing a long gown, small round glasses, with an untidy beard and a sloppy look on the wine table in the Lu family's guest room.
This man was exactly the owner of the Jianghu Inn mentioned by the young master of the Lu family, Manager Liu Weiliu.
Jianghu Xiaozhan is an organization in the alien world that runs a restaurant business openly but does intelligence business secretly. It has a very good reputation in the alien circle.
In terms of appearance, Liu Weisheng has a scholar's face, and his appearance is delicate and bookish. As the saying goes, he looks very cultured at first glance.
But in terms of temperament, he is a complete drunkard, with a face full of alcohol and a body full of alcohol odor, which makes people sick. His steps are frivolous, giving people a premonition that he will fall down at any time and never get up from being drunk.
But although his steps were light and unstable, his body was surprisingly fast. In terms of leg strength and body skills alone, perhaps only Yin Chengfeng, the 'swallow flying through the forest' in Quan Xing, could be compared with him.
And how fast is Yin Chengfeng's body movement?
Yin Chengfeng can run at a maximum speed of 300km/h. In other words, when Yin Chengfeng runs at full speed, he is faster than the current bullet train.
Manager Liu's speed was about the same as he estimated.
Seeing that it was him, Master Lu relaxed and sat down to drink two cups with him, then joked, "Old Liu, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you should drink less, or you'll get drunk to death one day and no one will care!"
Hearing Lao Lu cursing that he would die of drunkenness sooner or later, Liu Wei was not annoyed but happy, "Haha, thank you for your blessing, thank you for your blessing. If I really die of drunkenness one day, it will be my blessing."
Seeing that Manager Liu refused to repent, Old Lu decided not to try to persuade him. He asked his two children to get some wine and food. Today he wanted to have a good reminisce with Manager Liu.
Although Liu Wei is a heavy drinker, he is a good drinker and has good relationships with people in the industry. He is also in the intelligence business, and you can always hear a lot of interesting stories and insider information when you drink with him.
However, Liu Wei could chat while drinking, but once it came to client privacy and intelligence work, he would keep his mouth shut and no one else could get a word out of him.
His tight-lippedness actually reflects his good character, and the business of the small inn is booming under his leadership.
Lao Lu didn't drink with him just to eat and drink. He wanted to reminisce about the past and also to find out about Meng Ning's information during the day.
After three rounds of drinks, Lao Lu asked, "Lao Liu, you have a lot of connections. Tell me, who is that Meng Ning from the day before?"
"What kind of sect is the Three True Dharma Sect?"
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Liu took two sips of wine and spoke with a smile. It was obvious that his mood had improved a lot after drinking enough, although he was in a good mood all day.
"Hey, Lao Lu, you finally asked the right person. Many people came to me today to ask about this little brat."
"I'll tell you for free in the next two days. I guess all news about this person will be kept confidential in the future."
At this point, Shopkeeper Liu's expression suddenly stopped laughing. "Meng Ning is not a simple person. We only know a little about his background, and we spent a lot of effort on this."
Master Lu: "Tell me, who is this Meng Ning?"
Shopkeeper Liu: "Meng Ning's background is very mysterious, we don't know much about it."
"This person appeared out of nowhere a few years ago. The first news about him was at the Tang Sect's Inn."
"And according to our spies' calculations, the famous villain Jin Gouzi in Quanxing should have been killed by this man in the inn."
"Our people said that after they saw the golden hook entering the Tangmen Forest that day, they never appeared again."
"Then this guy showed up in Tang Sect again. He even had a martial arts show with Xiao Yanwang and beat up the Tang Sect's genius."
Master Lu was surprised. "How old was this kid at that time? He was able to beat the Tang Sect's genius?"
Shopkeeper Liu: "About six or seven years old."
After hearing this, Mr. Lu was so shocked that he couldn't speak, thinking to himself that this man was a monster.
Manager Liu: "Then this guy appeared again at the Trinity Gate, and then..."
Shopkeeper Liu stopped talking here.
Mr. Lu was impatient and continued to ask, "What did this person do next?"
But Manager Liu still did not reply, but just shook his head.
Seeing this, Mr. Lu thought that they had reached the confidential part of the core intelligence and asked in a low voice.
"Is it confidential? I can't tell you because I haven't paid? Don't worry, our Lu family has never owed anyone money. Old Liu, just tell me. Can't I just pay the bill?"
Shopkeeper Liu still shook his head. Seeing this, Master Lu spat and complained, "You old man want cash, right? Bring me a gold bar, old man."
But Manager Liu still shook his head. Now Mr. Lu understood that it was not about money at all.
Could it be that Meng Ning's background is so strong that it can shut Old Liu up?
Wow, that can’t be that exaggerated.
He asked tentatively, "Can't tell? Is there something you can't tell?"
Seeing that he had successfully fooled Mr. Lu, Manager Liu finally couldn't hold it in anymore and started laughing.
"It's not that we can't tell you, but we in the inn don't have any news about this kid at all."
"Then he seemed to have disappeared into thin air, and the last time he appeared was a few days ago at Trinity Gate."
Master Lu: "Disappeared out of thin air? As long as a living person is alive, his traces can definitely be found. You said he disappeared out of thin air?"
Shopkeeper Liu: "It may also be that our intelligence work in the inn is not in place. In short, we really can't find any news about this person."
"Maybe he's in seclusion, it's hard to say. And the Three True Dharmas, we've read a lot of classics, but we've never heard of or seen it."
"It seems like he just appeared out of nowhere. Anyway, this kid's background is really mysterious."
Upon hearing this, Master Lu drank two glasses of wine and laughed, "Originally, I wanted to send someone from our Lu family to inquire about it, but I didn't expect that your inn couldn't get any information about this person. I guess the result for our Lu family will be the same."
"But I never expected that there would be news that you guys couldn't get."
Shopkeeper Liu shook his head helplessly. "Although we at Jianghu Inn can't get any news about Meng Ning, we are not idle. We got another important piece of information."
