Yan Yun eighteen horses from the river, in addition to sleeping is to practice, to the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yan Qi can easily shoot three arrows, faintly have the potential to catch up with Li Guang, this provokes the rest of the cavalry guards to practice, although Li Guang is still progressing slowly, but Yan Yun eighteen horsemen's combat power has increased a lot.

The war between the rivers was worry-free, so Li Guang sent Yan Er with four personal guards to Chang'an to assist Li Chen. Letting Li Chen open a restaurant in Chang'an was originally a pretense, but now that the time is ripe, it is just right for Yan Er to stay with Li Chen to inquire about Han Shangjia's news.

Yan Er arrived in Chang'an, and according to Li Guang's instructions, as soon as he inquired near Hengmen, he found Li Chen's wine shop. A small two-storey earth building, big red wall, façade solid wood decoration, leave only a main entrance, a plaque at the main entrance, the book "Xi'an Hotel", called the big hotel, is actually not big, the main entrance enters, the quadrangle courtyard up and down 30 rooms, only the main entrance on both sides up and down, is for people to drink and eat the box. It is a meal, and there are many guests in the main courtyard of the box.

There is a shadow wall facing the main entrance, Li Chen asked someone to draw a corner of the city according to Li Guang's instructions on it, there are shops, there are wide streets, there are water surrounding, there are bridges to connect, the lower left corner of the painting, five words are mentioned "Qingming Riverside Map", although the painter is not everyone, but the painting is full of flowers, and the decoration is also a good foil in the store.

Yan Er and the others crossed the shadow wall, but it was a big backyard, unlike other places, all of which were reclaimed by Li Chen into vegetable fields, and the furrows were full of vegetables, although it was late autumn, there were still a lot of vegetables and fruits, and grapes and tomatoes were the most lovely.

Ordinary guests will not step into this room, as soon as Yan Erwu entered the backyard, a guy stepped forward to stop him: "If the guest officer wants to eat and stay in the hotel, just register at the main entrance, this is the backyard of the small shop, and the people who live are all guys and cooks." Yan Er was about to talk, when he saw Li Chen coming out of the wing room on the west side of the vegetable garden, and he had already seen Yan Er and the others, "Hey! I said why there were magpies making noise on the branches in the morning, so you came, don't stop me, come to my room. ”

Yan Er and the five arrived in Li Chen's room, Li Chen hurriedly closed the door, poured tea, and asked Yan Er and the others what they meant, but Yan Er wrote to Li Chen. Li Chen read the letter and threw it in the charcoal brazier and burned it.

"The young master asked you to come to Chang'an to find out the whereabouts of the young master's sweetheart, this is not something that can be done in three or two days, I have to arrange a suitable identity for you to stay in the store."

"The young master explains, come to Chang'an, and listen to the orders of Brother Li and Miss Shu Yue."

"Yan Er, you stay in the store for the time being, act as the store manager, and the other four brothers are your buddies, just do a good job of purchasing firewood and rice every day. Don't go around the store too often, because after a long time, no one will suspect where you came from, so it's okay to behave. ”

"Okay, but listen to Brother Li Chen's instructions, it's just that when I came, the young master also explained that I wanted you to find an opportunity to take me to meet Lu Chan."

"This is easy to do, Lu Chan often comes here to drink, I will inform you when I come."

While the two were talking, Shu Yue took a basket of grapes and tomatoes, pushed the door in, and exclaimed when she entered the door: "Sure enough, the young master sent someone here, and the young master left me and the two of us alone?" Yan Er, you wait first, I asked the kitchen to make a few small stir-fries, and we will eat together later. "Yan Er, are you here to replace me and Li Chen to go back to Baideng?" Staying here is suffocated, except for arguing with Li Chen every day, there is no other fun to be found. ”

"Hello Miss Shuyue, the young master is not in Baideng now, but the five of us came to Chang'an to join the girl in the name of the young master."

"The young master has returned to Longxi?"

"It's not in Longxi. The young master didn't teach, but Miss Shu Yue still didn't ask again, so as not to embarrass Yan Er. ”

"Can't even tell us? The young master really didn't want me and Li Chen anymore, it's been almost a year, and he won't teach him to go home. ”

"The young master said that the girl and Brother Li stayed in Chang'an, and they had big things to do for the young master, but they didn't ignore it."

"Yan Er, you didn't lie to me? Lie to me and you'll have corns! ”

"How dare Yan Er lie to the girl?" Yan Er wanted to laugh in his heart, although the young master didn't say this, but without Li Chen and Shu Yue staying in Chang'an to open a store, where to find such a place to stay in Chang'an, of course, it was indispensable.

"I think staying in Chang'an, but earning money for the young master every day is the young master's trust in the two of us, Shu Yue, you have to be attentive and don't live up to the young master's trust in us." Of course, Li Chen didn't want Shu Yue to leave, a place where Shu Yue was there was a happy place. In the past half a year, he has been with Shu Yue every day, there are no other acquaintances, the relationship between the two has grown by leaps and bounds, Li Chen is still thinking, seeing the young master again, he will ask the young master to marry Shu Yue to himself as his wife.

While talking, Shu Yue asked all the stir-fry made in the kitchen, although Bai Deng has many rare vegetables and fruits, but they don't taste as good as those made by this wine shop. When Yan Er was in Baideng, he and the guards ate a big pot of rice, and the food, dishes, and utensils of this wine shop were all exquisite wine and food prepared for guests, and their tastes were of course very different.

"This scrambled egg with tomatoes is delicious, and this pepper is also fried enough!" Yan held a wine bowl in the second, but he only cared about the dishes.

"That's natural, just with the fruits and vegetables brought by Bai Deng, the business of the wine shop is the best here, and so many officials and nobles come here to eat and drink. In the past six months, I have made a lot of money. "This dish was taught by Shu Yue to the cook, and it is a signature dish in the store, and Shu Yue is proud of it.

"Doesn't Chang'an use iron money?"

"Scrambled eggs with tomatoes cost a penny of silver each, but they are not easy to trade with iron money." Li Chen is black-hearted, but tomatoes are indeed a rare thing, Chang'an does not have them, they are not sold so expensive, I am sorry for Sanmao's hard work.

"There are often two women in the store who come to eat, but every time they cover their faces with white veils, and they don't let people approach, I don't know which lady it is. Every time I come, I have to order scrambled eggs with tomatoes, this dish Li Chen and I have long been used to, but the two women, especially the young one, seem to have a soft spot for this dish, and every time they finish eating, they have to bring some raw food. ”

Shu Yue couldn't hide her words, she quarreled with Li Chen every day, she had no strength, how could she let go of the opportunity to speak when Yan Er came today. For a while, what I had seen and heard for half a year kept talking. Yan Er had already come to find out the news, but if there was news, whether it was useful or not, he kept every sentence in his heart, so that it was to match Shu Yue's interest, but Li Chen was left in half, unable to insert his mouth, and before he could speak, he was blocked in his throat by Shu Yue's big bowl of wine.

During the meal, Shu Yue was happy, but Li Chen was drunk. On the contrary, he was beaten down by Shu Yue, all because Shu Yue had not drunk, Li Chen was drunk himself, distressed that Li Chen was drunk, Shu Yue was also not interested, let people settle down in the residence of Yan Er and others, carefully helped Li Chen to rest, stared at the window in a daze, I don't know what I thought in my heart, but half of my cheeks were red without a drop of wine.

At this time, Chang'an was not prosperous, but it was only said that the people were not rich, and drinking at the Xihan Hotel had become the fashion of the powerful in Chang'an. A few times, Yan Er had seen Lu Lu coming, all based on Li Chen's explanation, Yan Er and the others were also cautious, if they were seen by Lu Lu, they were afraid that it would have some impact, and if there were doubts, it would ruin Li Guang's big thing. I also saw the two women that Shu Yue said halfway, but it was not real from a distance, as soon as the two entered the box, the door was closed, and there were guards guarding the door, this guard was dressed up, but Yan Er remembered that Lu Lu wanted to take Li Guang that day, and the guards behind him were dressed like this, it seems that the identities of these two women are somewhat the same as Lu Lu, but they may not have anything to do with it.

Yan Er recorded the people who came, dressed up and looked like them, one by one, and even the days of each visit, the wine and food ordered were recorded in detail, for fear of missing a clue. Yan Er is purchasing during the day, hiding in the backyard after purchasing, quietly staring at the people in the store, and at night, Yan Er is busy, first figuring out the streets and mansions of Chang'an. Taking advantage of the opportunity to procure, he secretly inquired, and marked the streets and mansions of Chang'an one by one in half a month.

At noon on this day, Yan Er was drinking tea in the backyard, a personal guard came to report, two women in white, came again today, or the side bag on the second floor that often came, still ordered tomato scrambled eggs, Yan Er listened, quietly went to the vegetable garden to pick a few well-proportioned tomatoes, and waited for the two to leave to send them. Sure enough, when the two of them left, they wanted to bring some raw food, so Yan Er came to the private room with a vegetable basket.

"Stop!"

"Raise your head!"

"When did you get here?"

"The guest officer, the little one is the cousin of the store, he came to Chang'an to make a living, he is responsible for purchasing every day, the guy who takes care of the vegetable garden today has something to do, and the small one takes care of him for half a day, if the guest officer is not satisfied with this vegetable and fruit, the small one will be replaced with a fresh one."

"Take it!"

"Yes."

Yan Er carefully responded to the inquiries of the guards at the door, and wanted to listen to the conversation between the two in the box, but he couldn't hear a sound, so he had to hand over the food basket and return the same way, but hinted that a guard was waiting for the opportunity to follow.

The two white-clothed women left not far away with the guards, and the guards assigned by Yan Er secretly followed, and after a stick of incense, the guards returned, and opened the map drawn by Yan Er recently to confirm that these two women were actually from the palace. This stumped Yan Er, it is said that what comes out of the palace is not a palace maid, or a princess or a princess, etc., it is impossible for a palace maid to go out of the palace often, let alone bring a guard. If it is said to be a princess or a princess, but it is not like it, the dignified princess and princess are too simple to leave the palace.

Thinking of this, Yan Er took out the silk thin that he was carrying with him and drew a circle on the woman in white. At this time, three circles were drawn on the silk thin, and the two outer two were facing Lu Lu and Han Rang. These two people are confessed by Li Guang, this secret investigation, we must pay attention to the dynamics of these two people, for the two women in white, Yan Er just felt that the two of them had a tight preference for tomatoes, and vaguely felt that they were somewhat involved with Bai Deng.

Yan Er decided that he must find an opportunity to take a closer look and see what the strangeness is. It's just that I just arrived in Chang'an, and my face is more raw, which is easy to arouse the suspicion of regular customers. This matter should not be acted in a hurry, Yan Er had to secretly look for an opportunity.
