Chapter 12 Smoke and Rain Building

"This big brother, do you know how to get to Yanyu Building?" Yun Qian found a seller of roasted cakes on the side of the street and asked.

"This little brother must be a newcomer. This Yanyu building changed the proprietress three months ago, and now it can only be regarded as the second oldest restaurant in Jinling at most. The best restaurant here is the Yuxue Building. This Yuxue Building, there is a famous dish..."The vendor was very enthusiastic, and he actually set up another restaurant for Yun Qian.

Yun Qian couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly said; "This eldest brother, little brother, I am actually looking for someone."

"Oh, that's it, you said it earlier!" The peddler gestured with both hands and patiently traced the route for the clouds. Yun Qian felt a little embarrassed, so he bought a baked cake with him by the way. Yun Qian was also a little hungry, and after eating, he felt that his mouth was overflowing.

Walking east along the bank of the Qinhuai River, along the way, there are many sons of Yushu in the wind, slim girls, but there is also no shortage of peddlers and pawns, passing tourists. The prosperity and diversity of Jinling City and the inclusiveness of Jinling City have given those talented people countless inspirations for their creations. Their demeanor is either arrogant, or humble, or intoxicated, or deep, and they gather together to compete for superiority in this poetry.

On the surface of the river, the shadow of the painting boat moves, and the sound of gonghou is endless. Yun Qian, dressed in gray cloth, disappeared in the crowd and looked inconspicuous.

The smoke and rain are built near the water, the pool pavilion water pavilion, the eaves are warped, although it is only three stories high, but it is elegant and refined.

"This objective please, I don't know what to eat?" A small guy looked at Yun Qian, who was dressed shabbyly.

"I'm looking for someoneβ€”"

"Looking for someone? Go, go, there's no one you're looking for. Without waiting for Yun Qian to finish speaking, the little guy interrupted impatiently.

When Yun Qian was about to attack, forty or fifty thick men came to the door. The leader was a plump middle-aged bald man, who was bare and covered with fat. The rest of the people were carrying steel knives and iron rods, but they were a little more vicious than Yun Che's gang of hooligan brothers.

It turns out that the underworld is everywhere, even in an elegant place like Jinling, Yun Qian thought on the side. saw that the little guy seemed to see his own father, and stepped forward a few steps forward and humbly flattered: "Ouch, isn't this Second Master Wu!" Please go inside, and you can eat whatever you want. β€œ

"Don't eat, don't eat! Go and call your hostess. The boss known as Second Master Wu said impatiently.

The little guy was a little embarrassed and said, "Our boss lady is taking a lunch break." ”

The big man stepped forward and lifted the little guy up, scolding: "Lunch break, lunch break fart!" You just told her that Lao Tzu brought his brothers to collect the monthly money. ”

"Didn't you just receive it this month?" The little guy was afraid, but he still argued cautiously.

"Accepted? How I don't remember. Second Master Wu slapped the little guy in the mouth, and asked teasingly, "Do you remember to accept it now?" ”

The little guy was also stubborn, his eyes were closed and his tears were about to come out, but he still shook his head.

"Fuck youβ€”"

"Stop." Wu Erye was about to beat the little guy, and a graceful woman walked down from the upstairs. This woman is dressed in purple silk and emerald patterns, and her figure is slender but shrewd.

"Boss lady~" Second Master Wu licked his lips, and his lewd eyes were straight.

The woman seemed to ignore the obscene gaze, and said with a calm expression: "I don't know what the second master is doing today?" And why did you beat my subordinates? ”

Second Master Wu smiled and said, "Hehe, I just brought my brothers to collect this month's money." Look at the boss, your business is very good. β€œ

"I only paid this month's money three days ago, don't you remember?" The woman's brow furrowed.

"I think it's the boss, are you mistaken? My brothers don't remember that. Second Master Wu arrogantly wanted the woman to take a few steps closer.

The proprietress stepped back slightly, and said angrily: "I was originally doing a small business. Originally, it was difficult enough to pay the protection fee once a month, but now that you come once every three days, even if you sell my restaurant, it can't be worth your endless greed! ”

Second Master Wu smiled lewdly and said, "I also know that it is not easy for you to do some business as a woman, but my brothers are also waiting for dinner." And you also know that this protection fee is my eldest brother's intention. In this way, for the sake of my friendship with the proprietress, it is better for you to accompany me for one night, and I Wu Er will pay this money for you out of his own pocket. β€œ

"What do you think of me here! Second Master Wu, if you are lonely and unbearable, there is a place to go on the banks of the Qinhuai River. I'm a woman doing some small business here, but I can't just let others bully her! The proprietress had wide apricot eyes and was not afraid.

"Then don't blame Big Brother for being rude." Wu Erye said, stretched out his hand and grabbed the proprietress on the chest.

Yun Qian didn't want to cause trouble, but he couldn't stand it. He grabbed a wine glass from someone else's table and threw it out.

With a crisp sound of "oh", the wine glass that flew out hit Wu Erye's head, knocking him to the ground.

"Damn, what a son of a bitch!" Wu Erye was scolding, and the second wine glass flew to him and his mouth and nose were bleeding.

"Grass, that kid is impatient, dare to hit the big brother! him, brothers! A rogue reacted first.

Those hooligans rushed towards Yun Qian one after another, Yun Qian snorted angrily, and he would kill one person if he caught him. Now that he has gained Murong Ju's internal strength, he has no serious attack, and suddenly five or six hooligans were crippled by Yun Qian. For a while, the restaurant was dark and low, screaming again and again. However, after all, the two fists were invincible to the four hands, and Yun Qian also suffered a few blows, and one part of his left arm was also cut with blood. A murderous aura hidden in Yun Qian's heart surfaced inadvertently. Originally, he was still restrained, worried about causing death, but now he is getting more and more ruthless. Every punch he threw was splashed with blood, his bones shattered, and Yun Qian was like a Shura.

Second Master Wu and his subordinates were scared, they didn't want to provoke such a madman, and they might take their lives.

"Heroes don't suffer immediate losses, brothers, let's go!" Wu Erye's nose and face were swollen from the beating, and his right wrist was also broken.

Yun Qian's eyes were red, and he picked up the hooligan who was paralyzed on the ground and couldn't escape, ready to give him the final blow. The proprietress saw that it was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it. Don't look at the proprietress who looks weak, she can't help but be windy, and she firmly grasps Yun Qian with a slight hook of her fingers.

"This son, calm down, don't fight, if you fight again, you will die." The proprietress reminded in Yun Qian's ear with a silver bell-like voice. Yun Qian was excited, and he was very annoyed by his impulse just now. If human life is involved in this Jinling again, then he will really have nowhere to go.

The proprietress looked at Yun Qian's blue nose and swollen face, and her body was also scarred, she felt a little guilty, and said with concern: "The little woman thanks this young man for her help." Childe comes upstairs with me, and I'll give you medicine. ”

Yun Qian shook his head and said, "No need, I'm fine." I'm here for someone. After that, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the little guy who looked down at people just now. The little guy cowered to the side and trembled.

"I don't know who the young man is looking for?"

"I'm looking for Lijiu."

The proprietress was a little surprised, looked at Yun Qian and said, "The little woman is Lijiu, but I don't know what this young man is looking for me?" β€œ

Yun Qian was also stunned, it turned out that the beautiful sister in front of her was Lijiu. He took out Chu Xi's jade pendant, handed it to Li Jiu to look at and said, "It's shallow in the clouds." Senior Sister Chu Xi sent me here to do things for my sister. β€œ

"Young man, please talk to me upstairs." Li Jiu said that he took Yun Qian to a side room on the third floor. The inside is lit with sandalwood, which is quiet and elegant.

"Princess... Is she okay? After the two of them sat down, Lijiu asked.

"Senior sister is now hidden in the Qinghe Courtyard. She was in deep danger several times a few days ago to save me. Yun Qian was a little ashamed, paused and said: "Senior sister said that she said in Jiangling that there are still some things to do, let me help my sister here to expand my Dayan power." When she's done, she'll come to us. I wonder if you have a task for me, sister? β€œ

"Let's not talk about this for now, I'll give you medicine and bandage it first." Lijiu brought spirits, gauze, and gold medicine. Lijiu asked Yun Qian to take off his shirt, and his pretty face was slightly red. She gently washed Yun Qian's wounds and bandaged them with medicine. Most of Yun Qian's face and body were bruised, and only the one on his left arm looked very serious.

"Does it hurt?" Lijiu's eyes burned.

Yun Qian actually hurt a lot, but he still shook his head forcibly.

"Alright, now we can get down to business." After everything was ready, Li Jiu spoke.

Yun Qian now told the treasure of Lin'an, as well as the encounter with Chu Xi in Jiangling a few days ago. When Li Jiu heard that Huaqiu had died, he was also sad, and it took a while to come to his senses.

"Since Your Highness was born and died with you, and entrusted you to me, I will naturally take good care of you." Li Jiu took a small sip and continued: "My father was the concubine of Yan Kingdom, and I have been good playmates with His Royal Highness since I was a child. After the fall of the Yan Kingdom, I went into exile, and later met Her Royal Highness the Princess by chance. Although Her Highness is a woman, she is bold and ambitious. She successively integrated the old people who were loyal to my Dayan from all over the world together and established an organization called Guiyan. ”

It turns out that Senior Sister Chu Xi has done so many things, it is estimated that Mr. Lian is also one of them, Yun Qian thought.

Li Jiu sighed suddenly, and said with some concern: "I'm afraid that the matter of the dragon vein treasure will have to be put aside for the time being, and the top priority at the moment is for us to gain a firm foothold in this Jinling City and expand our power." Three months ago, His Highness sent me to Jinling to open up the eyes of the country. I bought this restaurant, but unexpectedly, it has been difficult. Those ruffians and hooligans have come to find fault again and again, and my restaurant business is about to go on. Moreover, there are several forces in this Jinling City, and it is difficult to find reliable people who are worthy of trust. Now that Your Highness has sent you, it is really a relief for me. ”

Yun Qian nodded, and analyzed it carefully: "If you want to gain a firm foothold, you need to form a force of your own. I see that the gangsters in Jinling City are very arrogant, and I think this can be used as a breakthrough. Let's take in some of the underworld people first, and then use their power for our own use, and slowly look for those who are reliable. In terms of restaurants, maybe we can improve some of the way we run our business and try to make more money. With more money, you can attract more people to do more things. Sister, if you have anything to arrange for me. My sister treats me like a mountain, and I should do my best to help. ”

"Your Highness's eye for people is really good." Li Jiu praised sincerely, and said: "But at the moment, we are all newcomers, but I am afraid that there will still be many constraints in our actions." During this time, you first grieve a little, pretend to be a little guy here to hide people's eyes, and then do something secretly. After you heal in a few days, there are still a lot of important things for you to do. ”
