Chapter 747: Wangxian Tower
In the early morning in the capital, the curfew has just been lifted, and Ding Zhuang, who is busy with his business, has to prepare to go out, and the housewives at home have boiled breakfast sugar water half an hour ago, and waited for their shopkeepers to eat and drink and go out. Although the stove has been stopped by each family at this time, the population of the capital is large, millions of residents are side by side, one by one, the house is better than fish scales, where can the smoke of cooking before be so easy to disperse? Lan Ziyi walked on such a street only to feel the light smoke like a veil, the mist like a Su, accompanied by the newborn morning sun, everything was like a dream, like a fairyland.
From the bustling flow of people on the street, Lan Ziyi and the others carefully shuttled through the street with their horses, and after passing through most of the capital, they finally came to the Green Pan Street. Seeing Lan Ziyi, the archway on Green Street, silently stopped, Tao Zhuhu urged:
"Young master, time waits for no one, now is not the time to stop the horse."
Lan Ziyi smacked his tongue and said:
"Cao Jinbao's number is here, I haven't done anything he entrusted me, where can I have the face to see him when I go in now?"
Peach Rabbit Road:
"Young Master, you just need to bypass the Cao family's compound."
Peach Road:
"San Lang, you are nonsense, this green street was built by the Cao family, and the young master entering the street is equivalent to entering the Cao family's house, where is it possible not to see Cao Jinbao?"
Hearing this, Peach Rabbit scratched his head and said:
"What then? Without the young master, who will call the shots? ”
Lan Ziyi smiled:
"It's easy to give orders, anyone can do it. I just want to ask the third brother, are your people arranged? ”
Peach Rabbit Road:
"All the gambling sticks that came to me on the road just now were all gamblers I hired."
Lan Ziyi asked again:
"What about the Tiger Camp? Is it coming? ”
Peach Rabbit Road:
"I waited at the gate of the city early, and as soon as the city opened, I came in, and someone told me that two hundred people had come."
Tao Zhuhu frowned when he heard this, and he said:
"Only let the Gao Yan Sect send a hundred people, why did two hundred come? Wouldn't it arouse suspicion that so many soldiers would enter the city together? ”
Peach Rabbit Road:
"It is said that no one was stopped. The soldiers of the Beijing camp are qualified to enter the city to play, and it is not a big deal for them to come in. ”
Lan Ziyi smiled:
"There is Du Jing in the middle, otherwise how can it be so easy for two hundred soldiers to enter the city together?"
Qiu Xiao interjected:
"When did Wei Hou contact Du Jing?"
Lan Ziyi smiled:
"If I ask Yue'er to pass it on her behalf, she has her own safe channel to pass the news over, and he knows that the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion are going to enter the city."
Then Lan Ziyi said to Tao Zhuhu:
"Big brother, I won't go to Green Street, I'll go forward to Jade Emperor Fang and wait for you, Green Street will be commanded by you big brother, if you do it here, you will take him down here, there is Mr. Xiaozhi here, big brother don't have to worry about omissions, but you have to be humble and associate with Mr. Xiaozhi, don't be reckless for a while."
Peach Chase Tiger heard the words and hugged his fists:
"Don't worry, the young master will be fine, if he commits an accident on the green side street, I will arrest him, and when he enters the Jade Emperor Fang, he will listen to the young master!"
On the other side, Qiu Xiaozhi also immediately surrendered his hand to Lan Ziyi at this time, although he was speechless, he also expressed his determination to assist Tao Zhuhu.
Lan Ziyichao and the two nodded, and seeing that the busy guys on the green street were all looking this way, Lan Ziyi urged Tao Zhuhu to say:
"Brother Lao is bothered here, I'll go to Yuhuangfang to find a teahouse restaurant to sit down and rest, and I'll see you later."
Peach Rabbit Road:
"The Wangxian Tower in the Jade Emperor Fang is a good place in Beijing, and it is the first in the world to make Huaiyang cuisine, and it is famous for Dazheng, and the young master can go there to rest."
Hearing this, Tao Zhuhu sighed:
"You still want to eat, drink and be merry at this important juncture, I really don't know what to say about you."
Peach Rabbit smiled and replied:
"Big brother, you're being rude, there's a legitimate reason why I recommend the young master to go."
Peach Chase Tiger Road:
"What's the valid reason?"
Qiu Xiaozhi said at this time:
"Wangxian Tower is the commanding height of this place, so that the upstairs can overlook the street scene, and the pedestrians on the road can catch every move in their eyes, and Wei Hou wants to control the overall situation, where is indeed a good place."
Lan Ziyi laughed when he heard this, he reined in his horse and turned around and urged the horse to go briskly, and at the same time waved his hand and said:
"Third brother, don't forget to send someone to deliver the news to me, I'll go first."
After Lan Ziyi left alone, he urged the horses to hurry, firstly because there was no one else and he did not occupy much space by himself and one horse, and secondly, because after walking for so long, there were not as many pedestrians on the street as when he first went out. After crossing the street and entering the workshop, Lan Ziyi suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked where Wangxian Tower was. Lan Ziyi was hesitating to ask for directions, and when he looked up, he sighed with a smile, because in the front square, in the market, under the background of the stars and moons in a restaurant street, Wangxian Tower rises from the clouds, and the eaves point to the sky, and its pagoda-like four-story building is at least one level higher than a large number of buildings next to it.
Lan Ziyi didn't need to ask for directions, he just had to go to the highest building, and when he came downstairs and got off the horse, the little two who were waiting in front of the door hurriedly came up to lead the horse and lead the way. In such a big restaurant, Gu Xiaoer here is a shrewd person who is sensible and understands the philistine, they only need to see Lan Ziyi's bearing and dress to know that this is for the rich and noble son, so they naturally serve them wholeheartedly, and the little er in front of them asked with a smile on his face:
"How many of you? Where to sit? What to eat? ”
Lan Ziyi walked up the steps and said:
"I'm alone, find me a west-facing platform, by the window, if you can see the street scene, just give me some signature side dishes, I'll wait for someone to see the scenery."
When Xiao Er heard that Lan Ziyi was alone and came to see the scenery, the smile on his face was not so bright, and he said:
"This son, the window stand is very expensive."
Lan Ziyi didn't say a word, took out an ingot of ten taels of silver from his arms and threw it to the little erdao:
"If you don't give me a clear one, you won't have enough money to come back to me."
The little er's eyes lit up when he saw the silver, and his smile immediately rose several notches, and he nodded and led the way:
"Master, you go up the stairs slowly, this staircase is steep, you be careful. How many floors do you want? ”
Lan Ziyi said:
"Top floor!"
After saying that, Lan Ziyi went straight inside, and the little guy led the way in front, and when he went up the stairs, the little guy was almost on all fours and climbed up in front of Lan Ziyi.
There are not many guests in the restaurant in the morning, and the top floor is struggling to lie on his stomach, and few people come up specifically if he is not specially watching the scenery, so when Lan Ziyi went upstairs, he suddenly found the platform he liked, and as soon as he sat down, the little guy served tea, and the little guy said:
"Master, wait a minute, the food will come soon, just say what you need."
Lan Ziyi looked at the green side street in the west with his chin on his chin, and said intentionally or unintentionally:
"I'll just sit."
The little guy sneered:
"You can sit as long as you want."
Then the little man went down. Lan Ziyi sat upstairs and looked down, only to see a group of strong men with bright swords and armor coming up on the east avenue, and when they arrived nearby, they divided into several teams to act separately, presumably this is the Jihu Battalion, and then look at the side of the green street, the dock near the shore has been secretly surrounded by these teams of people and horses, just waiting for the steps to go ashore.
