Chapter 42 Ascending the Phoenix Tower
The momentum of Donglai County is far from being comparable to that of Yecheng County, where Wei Tong runs away when he has nothing to do, the high walls are deep, the city wall is almost impossible to see, the endless flow of people outside the city gate is in and out in an orderly manner, and the guards with guns and armor stand strictly at the door, unable to see their expressions.

Historical records record that Donglai Taishou during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was an official surnamed Tang, who had no great achievements, and did not leave much ink in the history books. However, Wei Tong felt that this Taishou was still very talented, at least this huge county town was running in an orderly manner under his governance, and when Wei Tong entered the city, he did not ask for bribes from the people, which was really pleasantly surprised in the heart of Wei Tong, who was accustomed to "filial piety" everywhere.
After entering the city, the prosperity of the market also opened Wei Tong's eyes, the so-called "cars are like flowing water and horses are like dragons", the bustle and prosperity of ancient times is not lost to modern times in a sense, the streets are full of people, shoulder to shoulder, Wei Tong's ears are full of pedestrians' conversations and hawkers' shouting, mixed together can not hear anything clearly, but Wei Tong has a sense of confusion.
This is probably the attraction of prosperity, Wei Tongxin said. The second-tier city where I live is also quite lively, but after ten o'clock, there are not many people walking around the street, and compared with the big cities that are only a few dozen kilometers away, after all, the climate is still worse.
I found an NPC on the street and inquired, Xia Qing asked Wei Tong to meet in a place called "Dengfeng Tower", and the name should be a tavern or inn or something. Wei Tongxin said that this boss is also weird, in ancient times, the monarchy was absolut, and not everyone dared to use the words dragon and phoenix. As soon as NPC heard that Wei Tong was going to Dengfeng Tower, his expression immediately changed, and his face, which was originally full of impatience, immediately had a faint flattery, he introduced the way there in detail, and earnestly offered to lead Wei Tong.
"You've been talking for a long time,......" Wei Tong thought for a while, "doesn't that mean that you can get there if you turn left in front?" ”
"Your Excellency is truly talented! The villain admires, admires! ”
You can also make a sycophant of this, or do I admire you more...... Wei Tong rolled his eyes wildly. After sending this inexplicable NPC away, Wei Tong walked to the street according to his words, turned to the left, and immediately saw a magnificent wooden building, to say that the grade must not be bad, but after the exaggerated reaction of the NPC just now, it made Wei Tong feel that this Dengfeng Tower is not worthy of the name, the imaginary kind of colorful scene did not appear, and this place is very deserted, and I haven't seen anyone patronize it for a long time.
Is it in the wrong place? Wei Tong slandered.
I walked in with some apprehension, the hall was relatively bright, a few carved large tables, delicate but not luxurious, almost no guests were seen, and there were no courteous runners who came up to greet them.
"Did I enter a fake restaurant?" Wei Tong was left out in the cold and doubted his life.
"This lord, do you want to eat or stay in a hotel?" A gentle voice suddenly sounded behind him, Wei Tong turned around and saw that it was a middle-aged man in plain clothes, although it was plain clothes, but the material Wei Tong looked like it was not the color that ordinary people would wear, the middle-aged man was white-faced and short-haired, and his expression was peaceful, without the slightest bit of businessman's philistine and cunning, but more like a scholar.
"Oh, I'm staying there." Wei Tongxin said that he didn't know if Xia Qing had arrived, and he would definitely have to go around the city anyway, so it was better to stay here first, "How much is a private room?" ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he suddenly looked at Wei Tong in surprise, and his strange look made Wei Tong's heart furious.
"It's your first time in Dongrae, right?" The middle-aged man asked.
"yes, what's the problem?" Wei Tong is strange, how do you know that it is my first time here, and is it possible that the newcomers to Donglai will not be allowed to live in your store?
"I see." When the middle-aged man heard this, he suddenly said, "We don't need money to stay in the hotel." ”
"So good? Welfare society? Wei Tong was excited for two seconds, and he felt that it was wrong, would there be no one in the hotel that didn't need money? It won't be a black shop, will this middle-aged man just take out a knife and say that he doesn't need money to live in the hotel, but he needs a leg...... Wei Tong thought wildly.
The middle-aged man didn't understand what Wei Tong said about the "welfare society", and he didn't understand that the young man in front of him suddenly looked at him with a strange look, but he seemed to feel that Wei Tong didn't understand the rules of his store, so he patiently explained to him: "We don't charge room fees in Dengfenglou because we are not open to ordinary guests." Our operating costs are supported by the government and celebrities. There is no such thing as a private room, because all the rooms are private rooms. To stay in the small shop, you need to have a letter of introduction from an official above the county seat, or a few forces that are good with us can also eat and live in the small shop, but if you don't have this...... Even if the adults have a lot of money, the villains have no choice but to help. ”
Wei Tong finally knew why the NPC on the street before heard that he was coming to Dengfeng Tower, and suddenly reacted so much, this inconspicuous little inn turned out to be so big?
"Well, someone asked me to come here to meet, I thought this was a higher-grade inn, and it was not surprising that I was offended." Wei Tong had no choice but to admit it generously.
"Who dared to ask you to come here?"
"Her name is Xia Qing...... No, it's called Qin Xiaxue! Wei Tong replied.
"It turned out to be Miss Xia Xue." The middle-aged man obviously knew Xia Qing, "Miss went out early in the morning, but she didn't bring any luggage, so she must be back soon." Why don't you just wait here, I'll serve you a good pot of tea, what do you think? ”
What else can Wei Tong do, of course it's good. It seems that this Xia Qing can still live here, this girl seems to be not small.
It didn't take much effort, the middle-aged man brought up a tea tray, there was a complete set of tea sets on it, boiling water was poured into the teapot, and the water had to be poured out first, and then the tea brewed was given to Wei Tong to drink, which was exquisite. The middle-aged man did not have any style and action before and after making tea, but Wei Tong had a sense of elegance and refinement when he saw it.
"Taste it, adult." The middle-aged man gently pushed the tea bowl towards Wei Tong, Wei Tong didn't understand tea, but the fragrance of tea made Wei Tong's whole person feel refreshed all of a sudden, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good tea!" ”
The middle-aged man just smiled, obviously such praise was commonplace for him.
Wei Tong picked up the tea bowl and tasted it shallowly, the inherent faint bitterness of the tea, and an indescribable fragrance surrounded Wei Tong's mouth. You have to ask Wei Tong to say where this tea is good, Wei Tong really can't say, but Wei Tong knows that this tea is definitely really good tea...... Because he found himself in one more state.
"Famous Tea: The high-grade Biluochun brewed by advanced techniques, the intelligence increases by 3 points, and the remaining time is 14 minutes and 39 seconds."
A good bowl of tea can still have such benefits! Wei Tongxin said that if he didn't go to learn how to make tea, this bonus is too useful!
