Chapter 62: The Return of So-and-So

Before I went out, I thought about finding some excuses to shirk it, but my worries were always there.

When you go to an unfamiliar place, your preconceived impressions may not be credible.

It wasn't until I walked on the streets of Xunyang City at night that my hanging heart slowly let go.

At first, I cautiously hid behind Ji Jiu, walked for a while, and observed the surrounding scene, I slowly moved my position.

When I approached the alley, there was a lot of noise, and my mood was completely relaxed at that moment.

The alley is said to be a famous place in Xunyang.

If nothing else, just for the time-honored shop here.

The food and play are all gathered in one place, according to the words of the hostess who drove the car, if you don't come to this alley in Xunyang, you haven't been here.

Ji Jiu and I were crowded in the crowd, looking back at me from time to time.

He looked a little like he was worried about me getting lost.

There are a lot of Xunyang people around him, and occasionally there are strangers who are different from the locals in their clothes and speech.

Whenever such a person passes by me, I take a special look at it.

Ji Jiu and I didn't talk about what happened at the Yuzhou Inn that night, but I always had a hint of vigilance in my heart.

The changes in the Yubei grassland made me realize that the whole thing was slowly moving towards an uncontrollable situation, and I was worried about the empress's next moves.

Speaking of which, in retrospect, it was really not the right time for me to come to Sealand, if I had been in a delicate balance a few years ago, and if I had acted at that time and I could have been able to sneak into the Sealand Palace, then I would have a much better chance of achieving my goal.

But now it's such a bleak situation. I do have a lot of worries in it.

I can't find anyone to talk about these things, so I bury them deep in my heart, but I will eventually remember them at an inadvertent moment.

When I think of this, I look a little depressed!

The moment Ji Jiu looked back, he realized that something was wrong with me. He stopped where I was, waited for me to approach, pulled my arm again, and said, "Xiaolin, are you tired from riding in the car during the day and don't want to go shopping anymore?" ”

"Where, there is nothing." I raised my head and smiled at him, "Didn't you say that when you come to Xunyang City, you must come here to take a walk and have fun?" ”

"Xunyang's atmosphere is good. We don't need to hide it, I'm enjoying the rare freedom since Sealand. ”

"Even so, go faster." Ji Jiu frowned, urging me, "I asked the inn before I came. It is said to be the largest time-honored Tianxiang Building here, there is good wine to drink, good food to eat, and by the way, there are many people sitting there and chatting. ”

"Instead of wandering aimlessly down the street, the news from over there will come faster."

I nodded and said, "What you said is reasonable, just lead the way in front, don't worry, I won't lose it." ”

The alley passed through a narrow section. Suddenly, it became more open, and it turned out to be an area surrounded by several streets.

I looked at it dumbfounded, and said strangely, "Why is the pattern here so similar?"

Ji Jiu was close. And always pay attention to my movements, then stopped and asked, "Xiaolin, which place are you referring to?" ”

Don't blame Ji Jiu for not understanding!

The pattern in front of me reminds me of an ancient street scenic spot planned in my former hometown, which is also like this, entering from a narrow street, and suddenly opening up after a short walk. Small bridges and flowing water connect several streets to form a commercial district.

Thoughts turned. I already laughed and said, "Say whatever you want, don't care." ”

"Just look at it this way. It's a lot more difficult to find a store," I paused, "where are the Tianxiang Towers you are talking about?" ”

Ji Jiu glanced at me with a strange expression, and pointed to a place by the stone bridge and said, "Isn't that there!" ”

I looked up, and sure enough, I saw that the flow of people was most concentrated in that area, my heart moved at will, and my steps quickened.

This time, I had a reverse with Ji Jiu, I walked in front, and strode in the direction of the Tianxiang Building

In the night breeze, Ji Jiu and I stood at the door of Tianxiang Building, and he was still holding a wooden sign given by the restaurant.

Somewhat similar to the modern equals meal.

I didn't expect that the business would be like this, and I was afraid that it would turn over several times in one night.

The more I had to wait, the more I had to expect it.

I don't know if the taste of the food is really memorable, or just because of its fame.

While Ji Jiu and I were waiting, there was a running hall at the door talking to the two guests in third place.

The two were dressed like the strangers I had seen on the street, and I didn't have to open my mouth to see the difference between them.

One of the guests asked the running hall: "Why do you still have such a thriving restaurant in Xunyang City?" ”

After hearing this, the runner first showed a proud smile on his face, and then said with a little depression: "Actually, it's not like this every day, these two days are really special." ”

"Can you tell me about the special features?"

couldn't help the guest's repeated questioning, although the person who ran to the hall had a difficult face, he still lowered his voice and whispered a few words to him.

While waiting, most of the guests at the door focused on the flow of people and scenery by the small bridge in the distance, and no one paid special attention to the conversation between the two people.

Besides, knowing what is special can't change the fact that you continue to wait, can you?

But I heard, I heard it very clearly!

What the guests who ran the hall said was that the distinguished guests came to Tianxianglou for dinner for two consecutive days, so the two-story small building and the upstairs were all covered by the guests.

The other guests who want to eat can only sit downstairs, so there is a situation where they need to wait in line, although it is not a festival or a New Year, but it is very lively.

After listening to this, I immediately understood why.

Take a look at the lobby of Tianxiang Building, look inside, and you can see the size of the place.

A two-story restaurant, the entire upstairs floor has been packed, just with this little place downstairs, it is strange not to wait!

I couldn't help but glance upstairs. I saw that there were a lot of hanging curtains hanging from the windows on the second floor, and even if I stood on the bridge, I probably couldn't see the scene inside.

Not to mention seeing who the other person is.

The two strangers did not give up, and when they heard the vague words of the running hall, they were even more puzzled. I couldn't help but ask where the distinguished guest came from.

This time, the face of the running hall was difficult, and it seemed that it was difficult to say that it was about the deliberate care of the shopkeeper.

The two guests from a foreign land are unwilling to admit defeat, and they look unwilling to hear a little gossip news!

After soaking for a while, the people who were waiting were a little anxious, and finally whispered a few more words.

This time. Not only me, but even Ji Jiu's face changed.

What he said was that the distinguished guest had come with officials from the DPRK and China, and that he had heard that he was going to the north after staying in Xunyang for two days.

There are two messages in his words. One is the officials of the DPRK and China, who can have such a big face and need the officials of the DPRK and China to accompany them?

The second message is the Northlands, and at this time, they actually mentioned that their goal is to go to the Northlands!

These four words were no less than a bomb thrown over, which made me and Ji Jiu meet their eyes for a moment, and what I saw in his eyes was the same surprise as mine.

I couldn't help but look at the veil blowing in the wind upstairs, and wondered what kind of distinguished guest there was.

In a trance, the cold moonlight shone on my face. There was a lively and boiling crowd around him, but an inexplicable feeling rose in his heart, and that feeling came too quickly. It flowed gently like the wind on my heart, and then disappeared in an instant.

I wanted to grasp it, but I couldn't.

Ji Jiu saw that my face turned white, and the news just now came suddenly, so he immediately made a decision. "Xiaolin, we won't wait today. Find another place to eat, just go back to the inn early. “

The runner looked at the two who had been determined to hold the sign and waited patiently. But suddenly, the back of the customer who left again muttered, "Tomorrow, I don't have to wait." “

His voice was also drowned out by the bustling crowd outside. Ji Jiu and I didn't hear it

Upstairs in Tianxiang Building, in order to welcome a group of extremely distinguished guests, the shopkeeper was instructed in advance, not only changed the layout, but also transformed from a restaurant into an elegant residence, and even the windows along the street were hung up as instructed.

Even so, he smiled from ear to ear, because the officials of the Sealand court gave more than enough silver.

Because of so much foreshadowing, he was extremely looking forward to seeing that distinguished guest, and looking forward to seeing the true face of the other party's Lushan.

In the evening, several carriages entered the courtyard from the back street through the side gate of Tianxiang Building.

Unexpectedly, before the people got out of the carriage, the people who accompanied them came to clear the field first.

The shopkeeper's curiosity swelled to the extreme at that moment, and he finally found an excuse to change the running hall for serving the food himself, and followed him far away at the moment when the main master arrived at the end of the clearance.

I didn't watch out but was still blocked by the guards, and the bright sword was so bright that the shopkeeper almost didn't collapse to the ground!

He still raised his head and looked, but the man was very fast, he had already reached the halfway stairs, and he went in when he saw it.

In the night breeze, he only saw a figure in white clothes, floating like a fairy in the wind.

Just looking at the back, I was also stupid.

One look, just one look

I walked down the street with my head down, and Ji Jiu behind me shouted at me a few times, but I didn't hear it.

"Xiaolin," Ji Jiu walked through the flow of people to find me, seeing that I stopped in front of a stall and couldn't take a step, his eyes followed, and he couldn't help but smile, "I see that you have lost your soul, it turns out that you want to eat this." ”

I stopped at a stall selling jujube porridge and soft sweet cakes.

I stood there with a heavy heart, but the lady who sold porridge greeted me warmly, and said in a kind tone: "Little boy, the autumn night is cold, do you want to have a bowl?" ”

Without waiting for me to react, Ji Jiu behind him quickly paid for it.

With a long wooden stool and a small square table, I drank my bowl of porridge on the streets of Xunyang on an autumn night

(PS: You know who it is, right?) Let's take a back first, but we have to wait for a lot of rival plays, dear, have a good weekend :) (to be continued).
