But instead the two stopped at a roadside kitchener, not far from where they met, and ordered some simple food and wine there.
Looking around, Kong Long Zi noticed 2 empty tables, while the other 3 were occupied by people clearly belonging to one clan. They were drinking and chatting loudly until they saw the masked man, upon which they were staring intently at him.
Kong Long Zi took no notice - who wouldn't stare at a masked man? A mask may hide secrets, but it attracts much attention in broad day light. So he thought until...
"Che nai nai de, aren't you the masked one that have a 1000 liang silver reward for your head?" One of the clansman said, unrolling a large piece of paper from the imperial courts. On it a picture of a masked man and a few lines of description.
KLZ's new "friend" said nothing and continued drinking as if he was deaf.
"Who cares if we are certain, his silence is admittance, lets capture this son of turtle and we can interrogate later" swish, he draws out his sabre and started making his way towards the masked one.
"I daresay my friends, it's in your best interest not to attempt this. Here, heres 10 liang and go buy yourself some *****s." The masked one said. Though KLZ wasn't sure, he thought he could see a smirk hidden under the mask.
"Is that enough for all of us?" One of young clansmember asked, naively and eagerly.
"Only crap ones, 1000 liangs can buy us first class ones" the apparent leader said, grinning from ear to ear. "anyways I bet he has more than 10 liang even if we are mistaken."
KLZ secretly felt sorry for the 15 men, who are about to recieve some serious a.ss whipping for their efforts. But KLZ did not dare to interfere with the game the masked one intend on playing out, so he can only watch and hope the masked one is more lenient on them than the yellow warriors before...
