[169] Yangzhou Mansion

In the rivers and lakes, it is common to fight, kill people and see blood tools, and the six heroes of Qinghe County immediately ran out of the inn when things settled down, and collected the body of their eldest brother who died tragically, but now they couldn't even take care of eating, so they immediately went to the wooden shop on the Jiaqing set to temporarily order a coffin to hold their eldest brother's corpse.

Originally, when this kind of thing happened, these brothers of them must have wanted to avenge the death of their eldest brother, but the person who committed the murder, the eldest of the five ghosts of Meishan, had died under Qin Yuesheng's knife, and since he had revenge, there was nothing to do with their brothers.

So after some discussion, these six heroes rented a carriage in the post station on the set, and assigned two people to be responsible for transporting the coffin back to their hometown Qinghe County, so that the eldest brother's body could be buried in his homeland and buried in peace.

And the corpses of the five ghosts of Meishan in the inn, soon under the leadership of the scholar, a group of tall men who looked like iron towers walked out of the back kitchen.

They were all shirtless and wore the same leather aprons worn by the pig butchers in the streets, and then lifted the corpses of the five ghosts of Meishan and moved them into the back kitchen.

Soon, another thin shopkeeper ran over with a rag and a bucket and began to clean the blood stains on the ground.

Looking at their expressionless faces and calm hands, it is obviously not the first time to see such a scene

Soon Lian Baishan finished eating the food he ordered, immediately put down a handful of broken silver on the table, and left the inn without saying a word.

Qin Yuesheng glanced at Qin Huan, this guy has no appetite at all now, the caisson above his head is still dripping blood, if it weren't for Qin Yuesheng, who is already used to seeing strong winds and waves, I'm afraid it will be difficult to adapt easily.

After eating, Qin Yuesheng came to the room he had booked and took a bath, washed away all the dust and exhaustion, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep comfortably.

The experience of sitting in a carriage is not good, although the official road in Baoqing is spacious, but the potholes on the road are still fresh in people's memory, especially in addition to the fact that the carriage has no shock absorption function, and the passenger experience can be seen how miserable it is after a long night of travel.

Proper rest is still very necessary, this is the reason why Qin Yuesheng wants to book two rooms in this inn, rest and sleep first, and then go on the road when he has enough spirits.

Following.

"Xiao Er, let's pack a steamed beef. Qin Yuesheng shouted.

Next, if you want to go to Yangzhou Mansion, you have to have a period of hard work, and you can't bring some food with you without it, but you can't eat it on the road.

Seeing that Qin Yuesheng was about to leave, the three disciples of Hongyan Villa, who were eating steamed buns and drinking porridge, hurriedly got up to send them off, and it could be seen that the three of them had been impressed by Qin Yuesheng's strength.

People are like this, if they are stronger than you, they will be jealous, but if they are too strong, they will only show respect and worship when they feel that they can't catch up.

"Qin Shaoxia go well. ”

"Qin Shaoxia, goodbye to our Qiushui family. ”

"Qin Shaoxia had a smooth journey. ”

Seeing these three people standing at the door of the inn very enthusiastically and waving their hands, Qin Yuesheng nodded indifferently, hugged his fists and said with a smile: "The three of you say goodbye, take the next step first." ”

Two or three days later, the Jiangnan martial arts gathering held by the Qiushui family will begin, this is the first time Qin Yuesheng has gone to Yangzhou Mansion, but he has to arrive in advance in order to understand the local terrain and situation, in case he can't find the road at that time.

Came to the post station of Jiaqingji, rented a new carriage, and the two set foot on the road to Yangzhou again.

......

Yangzhou Mansion is in the south of the Yangtze River, which is equivalent to the existence of the center, which is prosperous, and there is no need to say more.

When the outline of the city of Yangzhou Mansion appeared on the horizon, Rao is Qin Yuesheng couldn't help but be stunned, secretly surprised.

The tall gray and white city walls, the towers on the city walls, towering like mountains, are like an ancient beast crawling on the earth, up to the top of the sky, and the left and right sides are continuous, so that people can hardly see the end of the city.

"This is Yangzhou Mansion!" Qin also said shockingly.

When the coachman saw the expressions of these two people, he knew that they were coming here for the first time, and he couldn't help but introduce it aloud: "Two sons, Yangzhou Mansion is very complicated, everyone here has everything in the south and the north, and all kinds of strange things can be found with money. ”

"You're talking about pickpockets?" Qin also asked.

"That's right, there are three religions and nine streams here, stealing, tying, cheating, and fascination, everyone has it, and the means are also numerous and complex, no more than other places, you must be cautious when you go out, don't go to those places that you are not familiar with, especially places with few people. ”

"Thank you for the reminder. Qin Yuesheng saw that what the coachman said was very pertinent, and immediately thanked him.

With Qin Yuesheng's current strength, ordinary people dare to attack him, that is basically a stupid mother opening the door to stupidity, and stupidity has arrived home. There's no need to worry too much at all.

But it is the kindness of others who will remind you of these matters, and this kindness must be appreciated.

Qin Huan also hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, uncle." ”

The closer he got to the city of Yangzhou Mansion, the more Qin Yuesheng felt the majesty of this city, the city gate that entered the city, not only could ten carriages drive side by side at the same time, not to mention, the height of the city gate alone was at least more than twice that of Qingyang City, and the people who watched it suddenly felt inexplicably inexplicably small.

"Cousin Yuesheng, this Yangzhou Mansion is really prosperous, the streets are so wide, so neat, and these roadside shops and houses are so gorgeous, it's really ......" Qin was still lying on the window of the carriage, and he was dazzled for a while, and he didn't have the right words to describe the prosperity of Yangzhou he saw now.

Qin Yuesheng leaned on the other side of the car window and looked out.

"Where are you going to stop?" asked the coachman, poking his head into the carriage.

"Uncle, do you know the Qiushui family?"

"Where is Childe going?" the coachman hesitated, "It's a private villa over there, and ordinary people can't get close to it." ”

"Then go to the best inn in Yangzhou Mansion first. ”

"Okay. ”

There are three most famous inns in Yangzhou City, one is the oldest Yangzhou inn in the country, with a long history, one is the gold and silver inn opened by the gold and silver pavilion, the luxury is far more than the previous one, and the third is called Yixin Xiaoju, which is an inn and not an inn.

According to the coachman's description, this pleasant small residence is a courtyard in a central area of Yangzhou Mansion, which covers a large area, with pavilions, rockery pools, bamboo forest wings, pleasant scenery, if from the living environment, the pleasant small residence is definitely the first choice in the three inns.

But the problem is that compared with the other two inns, the room fee of Yixin Xiaoju is much more expensive, and the living price of five taels of gold a day makes many people feel daunting, so there are no guests in Yixin Xiaoju on weekdays.

"Five taels of gold a day?" Qin also opened his mouth wide.

The entanglement on his body is only fifty taels of silver in total, which is enough to live in this pleasant little house for five days before he has to be kicked out, what kind of inn is this, dare to open his mouth like this, it is purely because he doesn't want to do business.

Qin Yuesheng was interested, and he was not short of money, so he immediately asked the coachman to send him to a pleasant house.

"Cousin, I have arrived in Yangzhou Mansion, and I will go to Chang'an next, but I can't accompany you anymore, how to say, do you want to live in Yangzhou Mansion for a few more days, or go north directly. Qin Yuesheng jumped out of the carriage and asked, carrying the Heavenly Demon Evil Blade.

"I've been living in Qingyang City for a long time, but I can't relax on the road anymore. Qin also sat behind the car window and arched his hand: "Thank you Cousin Yuesheng for taking care of me all the way, let's say goodbye, he said goodbye." ”

"Then I'm here to wish my cousin a smooth exam for you, and the title of the gold list. Qin Yuesheng took out a silver ingot and handed it to the coachman: "Uncle, please send my brother north to the next post station, and bother you to take care of one or two more along the way." ”

"Childe rest assured. The coachman took the money, patted his chest and said.

Under Qin Yuesheng's watch, the carriage slowly disappeared at the end of the street.

Retracting his gaze, he immediately raised his feet and walked into the pleasant small house next to the street, and as soon as he entered the open gate, he saw that on both sides of the cobblestone path, there were dense bamboo forests, and at a glance it was full of verdant green.

At the entrance of the path, a stone pillar was erected, and at this moment, a fat cat was lying on the stone pillar with a lazy face, staring at Qin Yuesheng with his eyes.

Below the stone pillar hangs a sign with a brush that reads:

Fierce, not to be messed with, don't touch.

Qin Yuesheng laughed and walked into the depths of the path.

There are people in the depths of the bamboo forest, and when they pass through the bamboo forest, Qin Yuesheng's eyes suddenly brightened, and he saw an arched wooden bridge across the clear water stream, in the downstream of the stream, it was a small pond, and there was a waterwheel on the edge of the pond that was slowly turning, echoing the sound of rushing water.

"Is there anyone?" Qin Yuesheng shouted as he stood in front of the wooden bridge and looked at the houses in the distance.

I have to say that the environment of this pleasant little Curie is really not picky.

It doesn't look like an inn at all, more like a large family's house, no wonder housing is so expensive.

Qin Yue finished speaking, and suddenly saw a little girl in a blue skirt running out of a house, with two balls on her head, her face was white and round, and she looked very cute.

"Childe, we're hardware for a day. The little girl looked at Qin Yuesheng and said a little shyly.

"I understand, this is a silver ticket of one hundred taels, open a room for me first. Qin Yuesheng was wealthy, took out a silver ticket directly from his arms, and handed it to the other party.

"Come with me. ”

The little girl looked a little scared, and after taking the silver ticket, she hurriedly led Qin Yuesheng to the side of the house.

The architectural pattern here is a hollow character, with two straight corridors sandwiched inside, walking under the eaves of the corridor, listening to the wind chimes hanging on the bucket arch with the wind blowing crisp jingle bells.

Three yellow, white, and black cats of different colors flicked their tails and lined up along the handrails of the corridor, even if there were Qin Yuesheng and the two of them beside them, they didn't feel panicked at all, and they still moved forward slowly, looking not afraid of life.

"Do you have a lot of cats?" Qin Yuesheng asked.

"Well, Sister Azhu is very fond of cats, and she will bring back a few from outside every few months, and the cats in the small house will also give birth to kittens from time to time, and the number of cats here has never been less. ”

The little girl turned around and asked, "Childe, don't you like cats?" Then I can arrange for you a place where cats don't usually come close. ”

"It's okay, don't be so troublesome, I'm not particular. Qin Yuesheng shook his head.

After a little conversation, Qin Yuesheng learned that this little girl's name was Lan Xiaoyuan, and she was an orphan picked up from outside by Miss Zhu Zhu, the owner of Yixin Xiaoju, and she had been a member of Yixin Xiaoju since she was raised, doing some trivial chores for Zhu Zhu to guide guests and arrange guest housing.

This time he came to Yangzhou Mansion, Qin Yuesheng's main purpose was to go to Qiushui's house, and now that his residence had been chosen, he had to hurry up and go there to investigate the situation on the ground.

So as not to go over and close your eyes and know nothing.

The Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference will be held in a few days, and that is the beginning of the excitement.

As an inn that dares to charge for hardware for a day, the facilities and decoration of the interior rooms of Yixin Xiaoju are naturally not much worse.

As soon as Qin Yuesheng walked into the room that Lan Xiaoyuan had arranged for him, he immediately smelled a faint jasmine fragrance, which was not strong or pungent, it smelled quite good, but it would not be annoying.

The beds, tables, chairs, lamp stands, and screens in the room are all high-end goods that can be seen at a glance, and there is a soft carpet on the ground near the bed.

It's really not the room, it's the money.

"Childe, do you think this room is okay? If you are not satisfied, I can take you to another room. Lan Xiaoyuan asked.

"Yes, this is it. Qin Yuesheng responded directly.

"Childe, do you need to add some items? I can arrange it for you. ”

"There's no need to be so troublesome, I want to ask, do you know where the Qiushui people are and how to get there. ”

"Looking at Gongzi's dress as a martial arts practitioner, is he going to participate in the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference held by the Qiushui family?"

Qin Yuesheng was surprised: "You know?"

"That's right, Sister Azhu, she received an invitation from Qiushui's family. ”

"That's right, you tell me how to get to Qiushui, this is the first time I've been here, and I don't know the way. ”

"It's simple. Lan Xiaoyuan immediately ran to the desk in the room, poured water and polished the ink, then lifted the pen and covered the desktop with a piece of rice paper, and then quickly scribbled.

Qin Yuesheng walked to the table, looked down, and saw that Lan Xiaoyuan had drawn an ink map.

A few strokes, has outlined the shape of the city of Yangzhou Mansion and the three delicate characters of Yangzhou Mansion, a few breaths later, the roads, mountains and forests, some buildings near the city have also been drawn, but it is clear and easy to understand.

As Lan Xiaoyuan took a look, he drew a mountain villa and the words 'Qiushui People' on a hillside in the north of Yangzhou Mansion, and this map for identifying the road was officially completed.

"Childe, this is the route map from here to Qiushui's house, you can put it away, as long as the direction is correct, you can definitely rely on it to reach Qiushui's family. Lan Xiaoyuan said with a serious face.

"Oh. Qin Yuesheng took the rice paper: "Thank you, Miss Xiaoyuan." ”

"No thanks, that's what I'm supposed to do. Lan Xiaoyuan smiled sweetly.

Without delay, Qin Yuesheng took the rice paper and immediately left the Yixin small residence with the Heavenly Demon Evil Blade.
