And the medicine she made Lou Wei, whether it is a poison or an antidote, is unique to her, she debugs it at will, and there is no formula, and people from the outside world have no way to steal their family's secret recipe, if you think that she is just a woman, you think that as long as you catch her and torture her to extract a confession or try to collect it for your own use, it is a big mistake, Lou Wei's temperament is no matter what, there is a sign, that is, disobedience, if you want to include her under the door, then within a few days she can poison your house miserable, The key is that Lou Wei's kung fu is very good, especially with light work!
Luo Dan found a place in the hall of Beiyun Building and sat down, looking around.
At noon, this point is the time to eat, the hall of Beiyun Building is full of people, and there is an endless stream of guests who come and go to eat and fight, if you don't know in advance that this restaurant is extraordinary, Luo Dan really can't see any difference between this and the general restaurant.
"This guest officer just sits here and doesn't call for a small waiter, what do you want to eat?" The shopkeeper was enthusiastic about serving, Luo Dan put away his gaze, and casually reported a few dish names.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper only shouted loudly: "Okay! Then he walked away and went backstage.
Luo Dan does not practice martial arts, but he can also see that the pace of the shopkeeper is steady, and the internal strength is strong, presumably he is also a master of this Bei Yun Building, it seems that the people of this Bei Yun Building are all staying here with their ability, she has inquired in advance, although this Bei Yun Building is more than one in the entire Jinqu Continent, but this Bei Yun Building in Zizhu Jinzhou is their headquarters, and Bei Yun Lou does not raise idlers. The people who can find a place in Beiyun Building are all capable people with some ability, and the branch is still like this, not to mention the headquarters. Presumably this small shop just now. Take it out and occupy a few points of status on the rivers and lakes.
This is also the reason why people on the rivers and lakes are afraid of Bei Yunlou.
The shopkeeper's movements were very fast, and the dishes came up in a few moments, and he also gave her a pot of sake by the way: "The guest officer looks very raw, the first time you come to us?" The shopkeeper asked casually.
Hearing this, Luo Dan glanced at the shopkeeper who was immersed in work: "It's indeed the first time I came, and I came in when I saw that the faΓ§ade was good." β
"Hehe, guest officer, please use it slowly, and you can come back when you are satisfied." The shopkeeper behaved very dedicatedly. Hearing Luo Dan's answer, he also responded with a smile, which was no different from the little two in ordinary restaurants.
Luo Dan nodded and moved the flask to the side. Only then did he pick up the chopsticks and put a piece of oily green vegetables in his mouth, and as soon as he entered the mouth, he felt that the taste was good, and he couldn't help but have a look of approval on his face, thinking that this Bei Yunlou was really dedicated. This restaurant is just a faΓ§ade. But I can't see it from other places, even this dish is quite distinctive, and a plate of ordinary green vegetables has a sweeter taste than from other places.
The shopkeeper stood aside and didn't leave, and he didn't know if he was deliberately observing her look or something, Luo Dan knew it, and pretended not to know, and still ate happily, but the wine didn't move a bit.
"The guest officer often clears the bar here. This is our family's unique secret recipe, and it tastes mellow. The aftertaste is endless, and our shopkeeper saw the guest officer coming to our store for the first time, and it was specially prepared for the guest officer. Seeing that she didn't touch the wine, the shopkeeper couldn't help but step forward to remind her.
"Oh?" Luo Dan seemed to think of the wine, picked up the wine jug and poured a glass for himself, picked up the wine glass and put it under his nose to smell, a fragrance wafted faintly, not like other wines with a rich aroma, but people feel that they have the idea of drinking.
But......
Luo Dan suddenly put down the wine glass, and said with a little regret: "Wine is good wine, but I have never been strong enough to drink, and I can't even touch a little wine, and it's a pity to think about it, but I have failed your shopkeeper." β
The shopkeeper's face changed slightly, not as enthusiastic as he was at the beginning, but there was a sense of persecution: "This guest officer, when you come to our store, you must taste this glass of wine first, and our shopkeeper is also kind, so you should take a sip." β
When Luo Dan heard him say this, a pair of eyes skimmed towards him without waves, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes: "This is considered a forced purchase and forced sale?" β
"The guest officer misunderstood, this is what our shopkeeper sent, not counting your silver taels, not forcing you to buy and sell, but it's better for you to abide by our rules here." The attitude of the shopkeeper is neither humble nor arrogant, and even his voice has not fluctuated at this time.
Luo Dan put down his chopsticks with a little anger in his eyes: "Since it is a gift of wine, whether to drink or not should be based on the wishes of the guests, are you threatening me by saying this?" β
Luo Dan's movement at this time was indeed a little big, and for a while, all the people in the hall who were on the second floor of Bei Yun Building were silent, and they all looked towards them, and Luo Dan looked around, as if he was very satisfied with this state. She inquired in advance, there is really an unwritten rule in this Beiyun Building, that is, no matter who enters the building, they must first drink a cup of Bei Yunlou's secret sake, she selfishly thought that there must be something strange about this wine, otherwise why would the shopkeeper press her step by step?
But this is exactly what she wants, as far as she knows, today's Lou Wei is in Beiyun Building, she only needs to challenge their rules to lead out of Lou Wei, although she can directly take out the waist card to ask to see her, but after such a long time, this Bei Yun Lou is a few unsightly transactions, the word integrity must not be as good as those decent people to rest assured, and it is about Li Ximu, she is not sure whether Lou Wei can be trusted, it is better to be careful, after all, there are too many people in the rivers and lakes here, and there is no shortage of people who want to get the news of Li Ximu.
Sure enough, Luo Dan's actions successfully attracted their shopkeeper, the shopkeeper is a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby body, a pair of eyes are bright, and his face is very kind, but Luo Dan is not a little relaxed because of his harmless appearance, she has long heard that the shopkeeper Xiao of Bei Yunlou is a famous smiling tiger in the rivers and lakes, with a set of broken heart fists in the rivers and lakes to occupy the seventh position on the list of masters in the rivers and lakes, and it is rumored that he even kills people with a smile.
"What are the guests angry about?" Shopkeeper Xiao smiled kindly.
Luo Dan treated him coldly: "I didn't order this wine, but this little two sent it to him." I have to take a sip. β
"Hehe, I asked him to give this wine, just because there is an unwritten rule in this building. Anyone who comes to our Beiyun Tower for the first time has to drink such a sip of wine. The shopkeeper explained with a smile.
Luo Dan asked bluntly: "Who set this rule!" β
As soon as these words were asked, the shopkeeper's face that had been smiling all the time was smiling, and he laughed again after a while, but this time the smile was slightly different from the previous one, this time with a little coldness: "Since the opening of our Beiyun Building, there has been such a rule, which was set by our landlord." β
"Why do you have to drink it?" Luo Dan picked up the glass again. Stared at the wine in it for a while: "Isn't there something added to it?" β
"Guest, watch your words!" There was coercion in the shopkeeper's words.
"Oh? Is it right? Of course, Luo Dan knew that this wine was not ordinary, but it was not a deadly poison. It's a hallucinatory drug, and after drinking it, it will make people know everything for the next hour.
It's just that she got the news from elsewhere, and most of the people on the rivers and lakes don't know the strangeness in this drink, and this son will be provoked by Luo Dan in front of the public. Naturally, someone had already gone to report Lou Wei.
Sure enough, after a while, Lou Wei walked slowly down from the upper floor. The tone was nonchalant: "I heard that someone is unwilling to abide by the rules of my Beiyun Building?"
Luo Dan turned his head to see, the woman on the ladder was dressed in a royal blue suit, her hair was all tied up, and there was no hair ornament, only a chain of colored stone beads fell on her forehead, which looked really exotic, Luo Dan looked into her eyes, and she had never paid attention to it before. This time, she found that her eyes were beautiful blue blue, and she remembered that the hair-tied wife who had heard of the poison doctor before was an exotic. The child I didn't want to give birth to is so beautiful.
"I never drink, and I can't obey the rule that everyone who comes must drink." Luo Dan's tone was still flat.
Lou Wei walked in front of her and stood still, staring at Luo Dan with a pair of clear blue eyes for a moment. Luo Dan didn't speak, letting her stare at her so unruly.
At first, Lou Hao's eyes were cold, but after only a short while, he heard her uncertain question: "Did you save a girl on the western border many years ago?" β
Luo Dan was relieved in his heart, and still replied quietly: "There is such a girl who has been saved, why?" β
"Benefactor, please come with me." A look of excitement appeared in Lou Hao's eyes, and he motioned to the shopkeeper to lead Luo Dan upstairs.
The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper were only slightly surprised when they heard this, but after all, they had been tumbling on the rivers and lakes for a long time, and they returned to their normal color after a while. β
They didn't go to a room upstairs, but went down a staircase upstairs and went directly to the backyard, a structure that most people would not have imagined.
Lou Wei walked in front, she was in the middle, followed by Xiao Shopkeeper, Luo Dan was watching around all the way, she had never been to Beiyun Building, this first time she came to enter Beiyun Building, it was also a big harvest to think about.
Soon, the three of them came to a bow-shaped door in the backyard, Lou Wei still went straight forward, Luo Dan followed for unknown reasons, but when he turned around, he found that the shopkeeper Xiao was still stopped in front of the bow-shaped door, and couldn't help but wonder, before he asked what was wrong, he heard Lou Hao's crisp voice coming from the front: "Our Beiyun Building has a very strict grade, different levels are assigned different permissions, and the places that can be entered are also different." β
"I see." Luo Dan nodded in understanding.
After that, the two of them were speechless, Lou Hao took her in the courtyard to spare all the time, and finally stopped outside the innermost side room, but saw that Lou Hao did not enter, but stood outside the door and carved latticework on several doors, presumably there must be a mechanism here. Luo Dan understood that the secrets of this kind of organization did not want to be known by outsiders, so he turned his head and pretended to look at the surrounding scenery, and did not pay attention to how Lou Wei opened the mechanism.
Sure enough, after a while, she heard Lou Wei calling her from there: "Benefactor, come with me." β
Luo Dan turned his head when he heard this, and saw that the door of the originally closed wing room had been opened, and walked over, knowing in his heart that he still needed a mechanism to open the passage. But this was only the front, and as soon as she stepped into the wing, she found that it was completely different from what she had originally thought. This is not an ordinary wing, but a secret passage disguised as a wing, because after Lou Hao took her in, he opened another mechanism, and the bookshelf on one wall suddenly opened, and Luo Dan did not show the slightest difference in front of him, but he was still a little curious in his heart. However, in addition to curiosity, I vaguely felt that something was not quite right. This Bei Yunlou is a well-designed one anyway, and he acts in accordance with the instructions of his superiors, even if it is Lou Wei who takes her, although he was kind to her back then, but the matter of this secret passage is still a secret of an organization. She took her inside so loudly, and she wasn't afraid that she would go out and talk to others?
Luo Dan was puzzled, but he didn't show it at all on his face, and he kept walking with Lou Wei to the secret passage, this secret passage may have been deliberately designed like this, and there was no discipline for walking, and if no one led the way, others would definitely lose their way.
After walking for about a stick of incense, Luo Dan couldn't help but ask: "Where are we going?" β
"My apothecary." Lou Wei didn't reply, so he answered.
Luo Dan was surprised for a while, but he still asked quietly: "What are you going to do there?" β
Lou Hao seemed to have heard something funny, and immediately giggled, and the voice echoed in the secret passage, unspeakably uncomfortable: "What is the benefactor doing here?" β
Luo Dan was silent, this Lou Wei was smart and knew that he was here to ask for medicine.
Seeing that Luo Dan didn't speak, Lou Wei immediately stopped, with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but explain to her: "Generally, those who come to my Beiyun Building, some passers-by who come out often, and Xiao Ming in the market who doesn't know why, or else they have to ask me for Beiyun Building." β
Luo Dan met her gaze and listened patiently to hers.
"Visitors from the rivers and lakes, we all have backup information in Beiyun Building, and we are all familiar with the surname. The small people in the market will check the little two, the benefactor should know that Bei Yunlou does not raise idlers, since Xiao Er can mix in the hall, naturally there is also a wonderful way for him to know people, as soon as the benefactor comes, he will report to the shopkeeper that you are not ordinary, and then you don't want to drink our Beiyun Lou's wine, the shopkeeper will naturally report to me. Since the benefactor is here, he should know what kind of business our Beiyun Building does. After saying this, Lou Wei paused and waited for Luo Dan to answer. (To be continued......)
