Chapter 751: Disappointing
The prosperity of the stables is more atmospheric than the graceful and delicate in the south of the Yangtze River, and the tall and mottled city walls seem to tell people about the passing past.
Qin Daixin stood outside the city wall, looked up at the city wall, knowing that this was a stable in another world, not a native country, but she couldn't help but want to take a few more looks, as if only in this way could she heal the invisible scar in her heart.
"What's wrong?" Murong Jing twisted her eyebrows, as if every time she was absent-minded, there would be a sense of alienation in her, as if she wanted to abandon Yiqiē, hide by herself, and lick her unknown wounds.
He didn't like this feeling very much, as if in a second, the living person in front of him would disappear into the sky.
Qin Daixin came back to her senses, smiled lightly at Murong Jing, and said, "It's nothing, I haven't been here, just take a second look."
This is an obvious prevarication, how Murong Jing can't see it.
"Okay, there will be more opportunities to see in the future, let's go!"
Qin Daixin nodded, and the two led the horses and walked along the crowd to the city gate.
Qin Daixin had never seen the scene of this person entering Beijing, so he looked forward to it, as if everyone who entered the city had to show something like their ID name before they could be allowed to enter.
"Entering Beijing is a guide." Murong Jing only said this, then took off a token from his waist, and while speaking, the two came to the front of the officers and soldiers guarding the city, Murong Jing raised the token and gave it a look at the person guarding the city, the man didn't say a word, and hurriedly let the two pass, looking respectful, and even slightly nervous.
Qin Daixin followed closely behind Murong Jing, curious that he had taken something to show the officer and soldier, and it scared him like that. It stands to reason that the guards of this stable must have seen quite a few high-ranking officials, right? Isn't there anything special about Murong Jing's token, so that the defenders of the city can see his identity at a glance, so he is a little scared? Well, it's possible.
Qin Daixin didn't bother about this matter, she led the horse and followed behind Murong Jing. Two people, two horses walked on the wide bluestone road, the horse's hooves stepped on the bluestone, and there was a clattering sound. It sounds like a musical note. Qin Daixin looked at the prosperous scenery in the city, and said secretly in her heart: Miss Ben lived a beautiful life in her previous life, but in this life, she was like a hillbilly, and the first time she came to Beijing, her eyes were a little insufficient.
Although it is already sunset, the street is still lively, with shops lining the spacious streets, and extraordinary three-storey buildings can be seen everywhere. The street is crowded with people, those riding horses, and those sitting in sedan chairs have their own, and people are dressed well, and there is a rich scene everywhere.
Qin Dai smiled secretly. Are there no poor people in the stables?
She shook her head and asked Murong Jing, "Where are we going?"
"You don't want to go to Yanhuang to have a look, let's go!" Murong Jing took Qin Daixin slowly through the streets and alleys, and the two of them went all the way to the west, gradually moving away from the bustling, and the streets in front of them became a little narrower. The buildings on both sides have lost their grandeur, and people are dressed plainly, which seems to be more humane and less drunk.
Qin Dai smiled secretly, how could she have forgotten that in ancient times, the poor and the rich were different. The circle of life is different, the east is expensive, the west is poor, so the east market is very lively, and the positions are all prominent families. The shops are also high-end atmosphere, there is a gathering place for the rich, and what you see in your eyes are naturally rich and noble people who wear gold and silver, and here in the west, all the people who live at the bottom are people who are struggling for food and clothing, so compared with the east, the west side naturally has a more depressed taste.
Could it be that Yanhuang's headquarters is located in the west?
The two led the horses and slowly looked at the scenery on the streets of the West Market.
Although the west side is a little poor, compared with the east side is a world of difference, but the stable is a stable after all, the antique buildings, the street clothes and simple characters, have become a unique scenery, there is a charm in it, it is still very attractive.
The two walked all the way, came to a archway, the archway is a stone archway, on both sides of the stone pillars, stone plaques, stone beams are people, animals, plants, auspicious clouds and flowers and birds patterns. The archway is about five meters high, about four meters wide, and there are three big characters on the stone beam - Huo'er Lane.
"This is it?" Qin Daixin took a look, this Huo'er Lane is much more spacious than ordinary alleys, its street is seven or eight meters wide, can accommodate two carriages running side by side, the street is lined with shops next to each other, although the storefronts are not as grand as the shops in Dongcheng, they are very exquisite, closer to the lives of ordinary people, and there are people coming in and out at the front doors of each shop, and the business is very good. There are a number of small stalls on both sides of the street, and there are vendors who are constantly selling and soliciting business, and the shouting is crisp and pleasant, and it sounds like a country tune, and it is not noisy at all.
Qin Daixin felt interesting, and couldn't help but smile shallowly.
The streets seem to be so long that you can't see the end at a glance. The two led the horse silently on the road, looking at the bustling crowd, listening to the shouting and singing, and soon came to a two-story shop.
Qin Daixin looked up and saw that it was actually a gambling house.
Four Seas Casino.
Could it be that this Yanhuang headquarters is actually located in a gambling house?
Big hidden in the city?
Qin Daixin felt that she had really opened her eyes.
The guy who was soliciting business at the door saw Murong Jing coming, and hurriedly greeted him, and without speaking, he took away his and Qin Daixin's horses, and someone else led the two of them to the house.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, the room was another world.
Qin Daixin's ears were filled with the sounds of the gambler's world, the sound of the dice chair, the banker's singing, the sound of the gambler pushing the pai gow, the shuffling of the cards, the shouting, and she even heard someone crying hysterically, did you lose the bet?
Qin Daixin couldn't help but look at the table, there was a gambling table there, the table was much simplified compared to the gambling table in later generations, there were many people around the front of the gambling table, some people probably lost their red eyes, and they were crying unrelentingly!
"Interested, go over and have a look?"
Qin Daixin shook his head and only said, "Let's go!" The gambler's world, dark, boundless, who can help him but himself? If there is gambling, there will be losing, and if the people's hearts are insufficient, they will always want to win and get something for nothing.
At this moment, a tall black man wearing coarse cloth clothes walked over, his cuffs were slightly rolled up, as if he was ready to fight with someone at any time.
He came to Murong Jing's side, and without saying a word, he reached out and made a gesture of please, then turned around and walked towards the back.
Murong Jing took Qin Daixin and followed him to the backyard.
The backyard of this gambling house has a cave, although it looks like a very ordinary courtyard, but there is a different world inside. The fierce man took the two men to the kitchen, and reached for a coarse porcelain bowl on the shelf, only to hear a rumbling sound, and the ugly stove moved away, revealing a black hole.
Organs, and organs ~
Qin Daixin glanced at Murong Jing, and when she saw him nodding, she knew that there was an article here.
"Master, the elder is already inside" The fierce man's voice was very calm, which did not match his appearance. Qin Daixin glanced at him, and actually saw a trace of warmth in his eyes.
After such a while, Murong Jing had already walked towards the entrance of the cave, Qin Daixin hurriedly followed, and the two of them entered the entrance of the cave one after the other, and walked down the tunnel.
The fierce man who was guarding outside touched the mechanism again, and the stove rumbled back into its original form. The expression on the fierce man's face instantly became arrogant, and he roared, and two middle-aged women came out of the room next to them, each holding a wooden basin in their arms, and the wooden basin contained a lot of green vegetables.
"You guys are busy here, don't let anyone get close."
The two women nodded, and from behind the kitchen door took out two small, small, simple wooden stools, and placed them on the edge of the stove, and picked up the dishes.
The fierce man nodded, left the kitchen, and went to the front.
Let's talk about Murong Jing and Qin Daixin.
Qin Daixin followed Murong Jing and walked in the crooked, dark and narrow tunnel for a quarter of an hour, and finally saw the light bright, but who knew that what he saw was a stone wall.
No road?
Qin Daixin glanced at Murong Jing and only said, "Is there still a mechanism?"
Murong Jing smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and knocked on a certain part of the stone wall, Qin Daixin only heard a rumbling sound coming, only to see that the stone wall suddenly moved away from the path.
There's a cave in there.
There were already people guarding the door of the stone chamber.
When they saw Qin Daixin, they were stunned, and when they saw Murong Jing beside her, everyone hurriedly regrouped their expressions, and respectfully saluted Murong Jing with their fists, "Master." ”
Murong Jing answered in a deep voice and strode inside.
Qin Dai was stunned for a moment, how could this person say that he would change his face when he changed his face, and just now he was smiling with the corners of his mouth crooked, and he would become a fierce god at this moment? She didn't speak, and followed Murong Jing into the room.
Everyone hurriedly dodged a path.
This stone room is not small, there are more than 200 square meters, the top is a platform built with stone steps, a high chair is placed on the platform, the chair is a bookcase in front of it, and there are four treasures of the study room on it, a pen holder and other small objects, looking at it is like that.
Eight chairs are placed at the bottom of the platform, a small table is placed in the middle of every two chairs, and some tea bowls, fruit bowls and other things are placed on the top.
At this time, there were already more than a dozen people standing in the hall, all of them with strict expressions, even if they were very curious about Qin Dai, no one dared to look at her blatantly.
Qin Daixin looked at the furnishings in this room, and she couldn't laugh at it, what are you doing! Isn't Yan Huang a tall organization second only to the imperial court? How can a good headquarters be like a thief's gathering hall, just put a tiger on Murong Jing's chair and he can play a mountain carving!
Qin Dai thought ridiculously, it was really disappointing.
