At this moment, in the No. 3 guest room of the guest inn, Chen Song stretched his waist fiercely.

Chen Song is from Chang'an and is the shopkeeper of Yonghe Building in Chang'an City. This time I went out to do errands, and I happened to settle in Youzhou City.

Speaking of which, Chen Song should also be regarded as a native of Youzhou, where he spent his childhood. After leaving Youzhou that year, more than 30 years have passed.

Chen Song has never had the habit of sleeping at noon, and just after lunch, he felt quite bored in the room, so he thought about going out for a walk. After all, he has been away from Youzhou for more than 30 years, and the first time he returns to his homeland, of course he has to take a look around.

When passing by the door of the No. 2 guest room, Chen Song hesitated, but stepped forward and knocked lightly.

The door opened, and a handsome young man in his twenties appeared in front of Chen Song.

Chen Song smiled at the young man and said, "Master Wu, I want to go out for a walk, I wonder if you are interested in going together?" ”

The young man who was called "Wu Gongzi" by Chen Song was Wu Yanxiu.

Chen Song has opened a restaurant in Chang'an City, and he knows many people, including many relatives of the emperor. Wu Yanxiu's return to Chang'an from the Turks was not long, so Chen Songhe didn't know him. However, the two traveled together, and they talked happily along the way, so they naturally became acquainted.

Wu Yanxiu happily agreed: "Okay, I have long heard that the outstanding people of Youzhou are the best people, and it happens to be the hometown of Shopkeeper Chen, wouldn't it be nice to be able to appreciate the customs and customs of Youzhou with Shopkeeper Chen!" ”

At this moment, Guanzheng Street is very lively, pedestrians are constant, some are carrying burdens and hurrying away, some are driving ox carts to deliver goods, some are driving donkeys to pull trucks, and some are stopping to watch. With the Thorn Mansion as the center, it extends to the east and west, and the houses on both sides are lined up one after another, there are public houses, inns, tea houses, gambling houses, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, etc., and there are many small vendors with big umbrellas in the open spaces on both sides of the street.

Green bricks, stone fences, wooden windows, willows, how many unknown secrets are hidden? How many joys and sorrows, partings and reunions have been performed? The wind has been blown away by the rain and wind, and only the old house facing the street still stands quietly, whispering about the vicissitudes of several lifetimes.

Chen Song and Wu Yanxiu strolled casually, in front of and behind them were faces that were either long, elegant, fresh, or sophisticated, with sparkling carriages and horses, and the flow of people was like weaving, and the penetrating shouts of the traders were faintly heard not far away.

As he got closer and closer to the place Chen Song wanted to go, his heart couldn't help but tremble.

Suddenly, Chen Song slowed down and looked at everything in front of him, his complicated eyes intended to penetrate the street and return to the time and space of his childhood.

"This was supposed to be a bun shop!" Chen Song muttered to himself.

In Chen Song's memory, the place in front of him should indeed be a steamed bun shop, not far from his former home, he can't remember what the name of the steamed bun shop is, but the grout buns in the steamed bun shop have thin skin and large filling, delicious soup, exquisite appearance, mellow soup, and oily but not greasy, but he will never forget it for the rest of his life.

"It's been more than 30 years, and it's long been a matter of fact!" Chen Song sighed: "I can't eat my childhood buns anymore!" ”

Wu Yanxiu looked at Chen Song silently from the side, he could understand Chen Song's mood very well, and he also knew very well what thirty years meant to Chen Song, who had passed middle age. The frost sword and snow sword of the years engraved the mark of wrinkles on Chen Song's face.

It stands to reason that Chen Song should be happy to return to his hometown, but for some reason, he has neither the excitement of returning to his hometown after a long absence, nor the excitement of being close to his hometown, but there is a trace of indescribable sadness between his eyebrows.

Chen Song sighed softly and walked forward slowly.

It's closer, it's getting closer.

Finally, Chen Song stopped hesitantly in a storefront facing the street, and stood in place in a daze, with a plaque of "Good Luck Gambling House" hanging in front of the storefront.

"It's a gambling house!" Chen Song was a little stunned.

More than 30 years ago, it was Chen Song's home. But now, it has become a gambling house, isn't it a creation to make people?

"Is Shopkeeper Chen interested in playing two?" Wu Yanxiu asked curiously.

Chen Song smiled bitterly and shook his head, he was going to leave, but his legs did not obey the call, and he walked towards the gambling house like a demon.

Wu Yanxiu didn't understand what Chen Song meant, but he still followed in.

When he was in Chang'an, Wu Yanxiu also went to a gambling house, he was not addicted to gambling, but only occasionally went to try his luck, so he was not a stranger to the gambling house.

Compared with the gambling house in Chang'an, the gambling house in front of me is not remarkable at all. Although there is no luxury in Chang'an, it does not hinder the business of the Good Luck Gambling House from thriving, and there are still two or three hours before dark, but it is already full of gamblers.

"Huh?" Among the many gamblers, Wu Yanxiu found a few familiar faces, which surprised him very much.

Leng Qing is in the gambling house.

Wei Xianyun was also in the gambling house.

Leng Qing and Wei Xianyun's purpose for coming to Youzhou City, Wu Yanxiu knew it. The two of them appeared here at the same time, which made Wu Yanxiu smell something unusual.

What surprised him the most was that he actually saw Lu Xiaoxian.

As soon as the color of surprise flashed across his face, he saw Lu Xiaoxian hand over a glance, signaling him to be calm. Wu Yanxiu could only suppress the impulse in his heart and set his eyes elsewhere.

Wu Yanxiu didn't notice that Mu Qianren beside Lu Xiaoxian was trembling with his hands. Lu Xiaoxian patted him on the shoulder and whispered: "Here and now, you can't be rash!" ”

Mu Qianren took a deep breath and tried to stabilize his emotions.

Lu Xiaoxian is right, these people are all here to abolish the crown prince Li Chongjun. Except for Lu Xiaoxian, no one knew that Li Chongjun had transformed into Mu Qianren, as long as Mu Qianren himself did not show major flaws, no one would suspect him.

Unlike Wu Yanxiu, Chen Song did not pay attention to the gamblers, but just looked around the structural layout of the gambling house.

There were no guys to greet Chen Song and Wu Yanxiu, and the two of them didn't mind, they just found a place with a lot of people to watch the excitement.

……

The arrival of Chen Song and Wu Yanxiu did not attract the attention of the gamblers present, but Shopkeeper Zhao did.

Shopkeeper Zhao is the shopkeeper of the gambling house, and he will pay more attention to the guests who enter the gambling house, which is originally his habit. Now, the "waste prince" is hiding in the backyard of the gambling house, and he has to be even more vigilant.

Master Lin specially found someone to paint portraits of these people, so as soon as the two of them entered the door, Shopkeeper Zhao recognized Wu Yanxiu.

Leng Qing, Wei Xianyun and Wu Yanxiu appeared in the Good Luck Gambling House one after another, which made Shopkeeper Zhao can't help but raise his heart to his throat: Could it be that these people have already seen some clues, otherwise how could they be so coincidental that they gathered in the gambling house.

Although there were seven up and eight times in his heart, the shopkeeper Zhao did not show it on his face, and he still had a signature smile.

In fact, Shopkeeper Zhao was completely overwhelmed, and these people came to the gambling house, although they had their own reasons, but it was purely a coincidence.

Wei Xianyun came to the gambling house to use Yu Baoguan as bait to lure Li Chongjun to appear.

Leng Qing came to the gambling house to see what Wei Xianyun wanted to do.

And Wu Yanxiu followed Chen Song and came to the gambling house by accident.

Only Lu Xiaoxian and Mu Qianren came to the gambling house specifically.

Shopkeeper Zhao's eyes were sharp and he recognized Leng Qing, Wei Xianyun and Wu Yanxiu. But there is another person who has discovered more than him, and this person is Lu Xiaoxian.

Wu Yanxiu, Leng Qing and Wei Xianyun are all old acquaintances, although they didn't greet Lu Xiaoxian, they all paid attention to him and Mu Qianren beside him. I have to admit that the lack of virtue ghost and the old slippery head are superb, and neither of them has the slightest suspicion about Mu Qianren.

In addition to these three people, Lu Xiaoxian and Ouyang Jian also came to the gambling house, and he faintly felt that something unusual would happen in the Good Luck Gambling House today.

"Brother Mu, there may be a drama in the gambling house today!" Lu Wuji whispered.

Mu Qianren nodded, he also felt the strangeness of today's gambling house.

Not long after, a stranger walked into the gambling house. This is a middle-aged man dressed in the countryside, carrying a floral cloth bag in his hand. The middle-aged man seems to be in poor health, and his face is sallow.

The appearance of the yellow-faced man naturally attracted the attention of Shopkeeper Zhao and Lu Xiaoxian to him.

When the shopkeeper Zhao saw the yellow-faced man, he raised his eyebrows slightly, stepped forward and said with a smile on his face: "Welcome, I don't know where the guest officer came from?" ”

The yellow-faced man smiled slightly, and inadvertently choked Zhao's shopkeeper: "What?" Does the Good Luck Casino still have the habit of inquiring about the details of customers? ”

Shopkeeper Zhao smiled for a moment, but he was not angry, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "The guest officer said that he was laughing, I just asked casually, please don't blame!" ”

"Can I go over then?" The yellow-faced man pointed to the gambling table.

"Oh! Of course! Shopkeeper Zhao turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation: "Guest officer, please feel free!" ”

The yellow-faced man put his burden on the edge of the gambling table, and did not speak, but just folded his arms in front of his chest and silently watched everyone bet, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.

Wei Xianyun didn't deliberately pay attention to the yellow-faced man, he folded his arms in front of his chest, looking indifferent. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the yellow-faced man was the easy-to-look Yu Baoguan. What Wei Xianyun is concerned about now is whether Yu Baoguan can attract Li Chongjun out.

Lu Xiaoxian squeezed to the yellow-faced man and looked at the other party secretly.

People who often go in and out of gambling houses have an inexplicable aura. Others can't feel it, but Lu Xiaoxian can fully feel this aura.

This man is a master, a master not to be underestimated. Although the yellow-faced man didn't make any moves at the moment, Lu Xiaoxian concluded that he would definitely make a move sooner or later.

Not only did he see that the other party was a master, but Lu Xiaoxian also saw that he had changed his appearance. It's not that Lu Xiaoxian is shrewd, but that the muscles on the other party's face look very stiff. Lu Xiaoxian also used a mask, and he concluded that the other party must have also worn a mask.

Wu Yanxiu was also looking at the yellow-faced man in front of him.

What Wei Xianyun can think of, Wu Yanxiu can also think of. He knew much more about Li Chongjun than Wei Xianyun, and knew that if he wanted to find Li Chongjun, he had the greatest possibility in the gambling house.
