Chapter 20 The Partition Wall Has Ears
Mu Yu turned around and looked at him very seriously, "I like this place very much, please help me ask the owner of the garden how I can cut my love." ”
"Uh, this...... I guess it's hard, but I can try. ”
"I thank you in advance, I believe that with you, I will not be disappointed." The pastoral rumor smiled meaningfully at Qing Ming
"Huh! I can't imagine that Qing Ming has such ability in your heart. He snapped off a dead branch and motioned for the herd to move forward.
Qing Ming took the two of them around the lake and introduced the distribution and use of the pavilions in the garden. Seeing that noon was approaching, he said with a smile: "Brother Mu Yu still remembers that when they were separated last time, they said that if they were destined to meet again, they would definitely get drunk with Qing Ming and rest, so it is better to let Qing Ming be the east and fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”
Mu Yu raised his eyebrows lightly: "Of course I won't forget it, but this meal has to be invited by me, which is a thank you for taking care of me for many days." ”
"How does this work?"
"Why not? If not, the pastoral rumor will be embarrassed to disturb it again in the future. ”
Qing Ming saw that her expression was firm, and she no longer pushed: "Since this is the case, I might as well be respectful." ”
"It's just that you still have to choose this place, and I'm really not familiar with the capital." She smiled awkwardly.
"That's no problem, I've asked people to book a banquet at 'Huizhen Building', and it's just right to go over at this time."
"Huizhen Building" and "Fenghua Garden" are very close to each other, located on the edge of the Qinghe River in Xicheng, standing in front of the window of the private room on the second floor, you can see the scenery of the Qinghe River at a glance.
"How? It's a nice view! ”
"Longyang City is really beautiful!" After looking at the monotonous white for a long time, I suddenly felt that gorgeous and colorful is the original color of life.
"What you see is just the appearance, and if you get in touch, you may be disappointed." Qing Ming also walked to the window and looked in the direction where Mu Yu was looking.
At this time, the weeping willows on the bank of the Qing River have just spit out new green, faintly as if there is nothing, the river water is clear and calm, and there is almost no trace of flow.
The private rooms here are separated by a window on one side and a bamboo wall on the other two, and the entrance is separated by a screen painted with green bamboo.
The shopkeeper brought the dishes one after another, Ling Shuang poured hot tea and sent it to the two of them, and the little guy who was driving the car next to Qing Ming stood with his hands hanging down and stood at the door.
As soon as Qing Ming and Mu Yu took their seats, they heard a lively greeting from the private room next door.
"Brother Muyu, the wine of this 'Huizhen Building' is famous in Beijing, you must drink two more cups." Qing Ming picked up the flask and filled it with a full cup for the pastoral ballad.
After Mu Yu saw that he had filled his wine cup, he raised the wine cup and said to him: "I won't say much if I thank you, it is fate to be able to meet you and Feng Yu, if you don't dislike it, Mu Yu is willing to make friends with the two, and I hope to take care of you in the future." To show sincerity, I will do it first! After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
"Brother Muran's move is exactly what I want, and since we have become friends in the future, we don't need to be polite, and we should take care of each other when we have something." After speaking, he drank all the wine in one gulp, and smiled at her.
Mu Yu drank this wine, the smell is really fragrant and pure, the entrance is sweet and sweet, and then looked at the small wine cup in front of him, frowned and said: "This wine is really good, but the wine cup is too small, and it is not enjoyable to drink, it is better to let the shopkeeper take two more jars, let's have one jar per person?" As he spoke, he asked Ling Shuang to order wine.
Although Ling Shuang is a servant girl, in the "Snow Bath Villa", the personal maid of the pastoral rhyme has always eaten and lived with her, and is like a sister, and there is no distinction between master and servant. Even here, she still let Ling Shuang sit down with her, and Qing Ming didn't say much except for a hint of surprise that flashed under her eyes at first.
This? Qing Ming was slightly stunned, then laughed loudly, and stopped Ling Shuang, who was about to go out: "Wait!" The pastoral ballad is really bold! But you don't know, this 'Huizhen Liquor' is originally brewed by the store, and it produces only 30 jars per year, and ordinary people can't buy it even if they have money. After saying that, he shook his head.
Seeing this, Ling Shuang retreated, but sighed secretly in her heart, drinking is a hobby brought out by Miss beating her mother's womb, and the amount of alcohol is excellent, today this wine is afraid that Miss will hook out the wine worm, I can't drink enough at this time, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for Snow Shadow at night.
"That's a pity!" Mu Yu was a little disappointed in his eyes, "But you didn't drink such a good wine alone, and you can be considered a friend!" Come on, let's do it again!" After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Qing Ming looked at the woman who was drinking in front of her, with a smile in her eyes.
The two of them were drinking happily, and the sound of slamming the table with the palm of the hand suddenly sounded next door, the sound was deafening, and the person who slapped the table could be heard to contain internal strength.
A thick hoarse voice immediately sounded: "Hmph, I don't believe that the Divine Eagle Hall has such a ability, dare to swallow the 'Divine Wood Order' alone, he is not afraid of being the enemy of the world?" ”
Shenmu Order? Condor? Mu Yu remembered the scene of the "Fuyuan Inn" a few days ago. I don't know who the people next door are drinking, are they all worried about the Shenmu Order?
A glimmer of light flashed in Qing Ming's eyes, and he quickly covered it up, still drinking and eating with Mu Yu.
But that palm just now had obviously entered the hearts of the two of them, and they both pricked up their ears to pay attention to the sound next door.
Sure enough, after a while, another clear voice came: "Brother Tie, don't be angry first, even if you get this Divine Wood Order, you can't open the treasure without the Demon Sword, not to mention whether this news is true or not." ”
"Ruan Shao is right, now there is only the whereabouts of Shenmu Ling, but there is no news about the Demon Sword, let's listen to the truth first, and then make plans." The man's voice was warm and courteous.
"Alas! This demon sword has not been traced since General Xi He went into hiding. It was once rumored that this sword was hidden in the 'Fang Wai City'......" This voice sounded a little old.
"Fang Waicheng?!" Several voices were surprised at the same time.
Probably because of everyone's reaction, the old voice continued: "That 'Fang Wai City' is the most mysterious place in this world. Some people say that there are the highest martial arts secret skills, medical and drug secrets, and mountains of gold, silver and jewelry, and some people say that there is nothing there, only a mountain that reaches to the sky, and the 'Demon Sword' is hidden in the belly of the mountain. ”
"What exactly does 'Fang Waicheng' look like? Hasn't anyone seen it with their own eyes? The voice known as Ruan Shao asked earlier.
"Alas! But whoever has been there has become a fool. That's why there are so many theories, and until now no one knows what that place is like or where it is! ”
"Ahem! If you want me to say, how can there be such a place, how can the words of those fools be believed? The old iron who had slapped the table earlier yelled roughly.
"I have also heard the rumors about 'Fang Waicheng' in Xia, and they are the same as those of our ancestors, but there is no way to know whether it is true or not. However, this 'Demon Sword' has another secret underneath. The warm voice sounded again.
"Oh? Tell me about it! The crowd urged.
The speaker lowered his voice, and the words he could hear became staccato: "...... General Xi killed himself back then, which may have something to do with this sword...... In the past ten years, people from all sides of the three countries and gangs in the rivers and lakes have been looking for ...... It is said that the voice that may be hidden behind the ...... is getting weaker and weaker, and it cannot be heard even if the internal force is exerted.
Mu Yu was not interested in the 'Fang Waicheng', but when she heard "General Xi" and "kill herself", her body shook suddenly, and her eyes flashed cold, but she quickly covered it up.
Ling Shuang glanced at the pastoral rumor quietly, knowing that the young lady seemed to be calm at this time, and her heart must be turbulent.
Qing Ming didn't let go of the cold light that flashed in Mu Yu's eyes, but he still smiled, drinking and eating.
In the end, the two ended the meal absentmindedly, and Qing Ming said that he had something to do, so he asked the little maid to send the two of them back and leave alone.
