It's a pity that Hu Dugu's companion is located at an excellent angle, and he can be seen clearly even passing in front of the door of this small courtyard.

Since Zhou Nan didn't know what Hu Dugu was doing, he didn't want to alarm the person who was on guard outside. He retreated from the alley he came into, and then entered from the alley next to him, and went around the position of the small courtyard, only to find that the owner of this small courtyard had built the small courtyard like a bunker, tight, except for the door, the rest of the place was either a high courtyard wall, or a house wall without windows. Even at night, it's not easy to climb over the wall to get in.

Zhou Nan walked back disappointed, Gao Yuan still stayed where he was, and when he saw Zhou Nan coming back, he shook his head and said to Zhou Nan: "No one has been in or out, it's still the same." What to do? Gao Yuan is now used to asking Zhou Nan when he has something.

Zhou Nan was just curious at first, but along the way, he felt more and more that Hu Dugu's whereabouts were mysterious, and with his previous professional sensitivity, he felt that there must be a secret in this Hu Dugu. He said to Gao Yuan: "Why don't I stay and watch first, you go and let Zuo Xiaosi come, I want to see what's going on here." ”

Gao Yuan also wanted to see the excitement, but it was too sullen to stare at it like this, and when he saw Zhou Nan say this, he was happy to go back. As the two of them were talking, the door of the small courtyard suddenly opened, and a person came out of it, it was Hu Dugu, Gao Yuan and Zhou Nan were busy hiding behind the street corner, watching Hu Dugu and the companion walk out of it and walk towards the street.

Gao Yuan hurriedly pulled Zhou Nan to follow, but Zhou Nan instead grabbed Gao Yuan and stopped in the distance without moving. Gao Yuan was just about to ask, but the courtyard door opened silently, and a man came out of it, dressed like the Khitan people on the street, after this person came out, he looked around, and saw that there was no one around, so he strode along the alley to the north.

Zhou Nan saw that the door of the small courtyard had been closed, so he hurriedly pulled Gao Yuan, and the two of them followed the man who came out from behind from a distance, and also went north.

All the way to the north, unconsciously out of the residential area, it turned out that he had walked to the northern half of Yanjing City, the man walked to a tall city gate in the distance, Zhou Nan looked up, only to see three big characters carved with bluestone above the city gate: Gongchen Gate. The man followed the crowd out of the city. Zhou Nan grabbed Gao Yuan and said, "That person obviously has an accomplice outside the city, so you don't need to follow him first." We'll go back first, have dinner, and come back tonight. ”

Gao Yuan nodded, and the two walked towards Hongyan Restaurant. Gao Yuan has been to Yanjing several times, and knows the location of Hongyan Restaurant, and along the street where the crowd is coming, he walked to Hongyan Restaurant.

Zhou Nan walked all the way, all the way carefully looked at the ancient capital thousands of years ago, at this time the ancient capital was only rough shape, and the Beijing city of later generations is very different, and even the location of the city is different, the later Yuan Dynasty is mostly different from Yanjing, not to mention that Xu Da completely demolished and burned most of the capital in the dynasty.

The only thing that is the same is the grandeur, desolation, and solid momentum, which still has a similar feeling to the later generations. It's just that the imperial city of Yanjing is too civilian, and it doesn't have the momentum of all countries coming to court and being the only one in the later generations. The Nanjing City of the Liao State was actually built in the southwest corner of Yanjing City, and the wall of the Imperial City turned out to be the city wall in the southwest corner of Yanjing City, and even the Imperial City shared a city gate with civilians to enter and exit. This would not have been possible in any other dynasty.

The Hongyan Restaurant where they sell wine is in Ganquanfang in the north of the imperial city, along Danzhou Street to the west, to Guang'anmen outside the imperial city, and the sky is already a little dark.

Hongyan Restaurant is just north of Danzhou Street. I saw a tall three-story wooden and stone structure rising from the ground and standing facing the street. From a distance, the most striking thing is the roof that slopes on all sides, all gray terracotta, and the two sides of the eaves are arced and gradually upturned, although the roof is wide, it gives people a sense of soaring and rising; Although the layers of dougong under the eaves are stout, they are more simple and sturdy, and there is a faint charm of the Han and Tang dynasties. In addition, the wooden windows and columns on each floor are painted with paint, and the red pillars and green sill make it even more magnificent and magnificent in the surrounding gray and earth-colored houses. There is a black plaque hanging at the entrance of the main entrance of the restaurant, on which are written four big characters "Hongyan Restaurant".

Gao Yuan pointed to the restaurant and said, "This is it." I happened to be hungry too. I don't know if they have settled down in the fourth child. As he spoke, he walked into the restaurant, and a woman in the lobby greeted him, asking the guest officer if he wanted to eat, and Gao Yuan asked, "Is the person who delivers the wine inside?" ”

The waitress heard Gao Yuan ask the person who delivered the wine, and said, "It's inside." ”

Gao Yuan said to the hostess: "You go and call them out, and then send a table of food, we can use the meal." The hostess asked Gao Yuan and Zhou Nan to find a seat and sit down first, and then went inside to call someone.

Zhou Nan and Gao Yuan sat down around a table and poured two cups of tea first. At this time, a woman wearing a light yellow dress and long hair falling from the back of her head slowly came out of the inside, and sat down at a table by the window facing out of the window, with her back to Zhou Nan and them. After a while a maid came up with a lacquered plate, and laid down a few dishes of food on the table in front of the woman, and set the dishes on the table, and the woman began to eat.

Zhou Nan thought it was the lady who stayed in the house, and he didn't care, and still talked to Gao Yuan. After a while, Zuo Xiaosi, Gao Shouzhong, and Gao Shouxiao came out from behind, and when they saw Zhou Nan, they sat straight over. Zhou Nan said to Zuo Xiaosi: "Little fourth brother, after dinner, you and I will go out again." ”

Zuo Xiaosi saw that Zhou Nan had something to do, so he didn't ask much. After a while, the hostess brought the meal, four dishes, as well as steamed buns and hot soup. The five of them stopped talking and ate silently.

Yelu Yu Liyan ate a little bit, and then stopped eating. The maid brought another pot of tea, Yelu Yu Liyan held the hot tea in both hands, put it to his mouth, smelled the fragrance of tea, and looked out the window, it was already very dark, and there were no pedestrians in sight. Yelu Yu Liyan turned his head to look into the lobby, and the first thing he saw was Zhengxiang eating around the table.

Yelu Yu Liyan looked at the five people like a storm, but these people were quite polite, unlike ordinary people who were used to working hard, and they didn't care about talking loudly when eating, which made Yelu Yu Liyan look at these people twice. One of the men always habitually used the end of the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and from time to time he would eat in the rice bowl, and then go to pick up the vegetables.

Although only half of the silhouette could be seen, the white face and tall figure were ......

Yelu Yu Liyan was stunned for a moment.
