The thin man didn't stop talking all the way, and told Gu Xi about some of the forces in the capital along the way, and Gu Xi seemed to be very interested in this matter and talked to him.

Along an avenue that runs through the capital, the two soon came to the pavilion of the Yanque Tower.

The outside of the swallow bird building is very noisy, and there are patchwork pavilions built around it.

The Yanque Tower alone occupies three pavilions, making several teahouses relying on the edge of the Yanque Tower, which are dull and colorless compared with the glory of the Yanque Tower.

Under the majestic plaque of the Yanque Tower, in front of the vermilion gate, a woman dressed in fancy clothes is smiling at the corner of her mouth, greeting officials and big households.

Such a magnificent pavilion and an endless stream of people show the power and status of the owner of the bird's nest.

Outside the Swallow Bird Tower, there are several teams of officers and soldiers in armor stationed here, and their knife-like eyes are looking at the people who enter the Swallow Bird Tower.

Gu Xi glanced up at Yanque Tower, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.

He had never seen such a large pavilion, and even in the city he passed through when he came, there was no pavilion that could match the 'Red Mansion' in the capital.

However, Gu Xi thought about it, since this swallow bird tower can be opened on a prosperous avenue, and it can have the imperial court to send officers and soldiers to protect each other, the forces behind it are definitely not simple.

The main reason why he came here was to inquire about the news of the Chen family, and Yanque Tower, as the first floor of the capital, was undoubtedly a good place to go.

"My lord, I wonder if this swallow tower can meet your wishes?" The thin man turned his head and said triumphantly.

"Yes, the Swallow Bird Tower is famous far and wide, and there must be a big man behind it. Gu Xi said.

"Lord Erniu is right, if people from ordinary backgrounds come here to open a store, they may have to be suppressed in less than a day, and Yanque Tower can sit here for decades, relying on the forces behind it. The thin man nodded and looked at the Yanque Tower not far away.

Gu Xi then asked, "Which force?"

"The Chen family in the capital!" said the thin man, raising his head with a proud face, "The Chen family is a veteran family in the capital, and no one dares to go wild in the Yanque Tower. ”

Really......

When Gu Xi heard this, he was not too surprised.

The top forces in the capital are less than five fingers, and Yue Hai once told him that the Yue family focuses on the military and pharmacies, so Gu Xi secretly guessed the Chen family.

"Yo, the skinny monkey is coming......"

As soon as I entered the Yanque Tower, I saw a little guy in brocade clothes walking over in the corner.

"Here, Brother Yan will give me a seat. The thin man hurriedly greeted him and nodded at the little guy.

The little guy saw the thin man followed by a plainly dressed dark-skinned boy, and he was secretly suspicious.

"Far or near?" The little guy asked.

Generally speaking, they will make a deal with the guide in the capital, and deliberately leave one or two seats for the guide to bring guests.

Far seat and near seat is the jargon between them, but also to ask the value of the guest, far seat is the guest is not enough money, at best a small rich man, and can be in the nest of the bird near the seat of the guests, are the lord of the waist.

"Seat closer, move forward!" the thin man cleared his throat and touched the silver in his pocket, full of confidence.

"Thin monkey, you must know that this Yanque Mansion is the territory of the Chen family, if you have no money to eat, you also know the consequences!" The little guy was stunned for a moment, looked at Gu Xi behind the thin man, and hesitated.

Immediately, the thin man glanced at Gu Xi, who was looking around, gave the little guy a look, and said in a low voice: "Brother Yan, I have already felt the bottom of this kid thoroughly, and he has a generous hand, and he has a fat pocket." ”

As soon as he heard this, the little guy completely dispelled the doubts in his heart, and immediately changed his face.

"Come with me, two. The little girl said flatteringly, and took Gu Xi and the thin man into the inner building of the Yanque Building, and specially chose a table close to the dancing girl on the stage.

The interior of the Yanque Building is luxuriously decorated, and even the ground is made of rare stones, accompanied by the pleasant sound of silk and bamboo on the stage and the fragrance of tea, and the guests who come and go talk loudly.

Along the way, the little guy walked in front, and when he saw the boy he knew along the way, he stopped to salute.

"Wait a minute, the meal will be coming soon. The little servant led Gu Xi to the table, said a few polite words to the thin man, and then turned to leave.

Sitting on the stool, Gu Xi glanced around, drank a few sips of wine, and looked absent-minded.

The thin man sitting opposite was staring at the dancing girl on the stage with wide eyes, and kept swallowing saliva in his mouth.

After a while, the meal came up.

Gu Xi held the rice bowl in his hand, and solved the meal in front of him after dividing it by two in three strokes, and for some reason, when he reached the cultivation realm, his appetite increased a lot.

Following the thin man's gaze, he glanced at the dancing girl on the stage, Gu Xi smacked his lips and was not interested, and his fingers tapped on the table, as if he was thinking about something.

"Skinny Monkey!"

Gu Xi shouted, but unexpectedly, the person's eyes seemed to be glued to the dancing girl, and he couldn't reply for a while.

"Ahem......" Gu Xi coughed lightly twice, and the thin man on the opposite side was excited, and hurriedly turned around.

The thin man turned his head, as if he found his indecency, and hurriedly wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, grinned at the corners of his mouth, and said respectfully: "My lord, what's the matter?"

"Skinny Monkey, how long have you been in the capital?" Gu Xi asked casually, as if he was chatting.

"The little one was born in the capital, and it has been until now. When the thin man heard this, he replied.

"Are you familiar with the forces in the capital?" Gu Xi smiled, a mouthful of big white teeth on his black face.

"That is, my skinny monkey will not only lead the way in the capital, but even inquire about the news is a must, not to mention the forces that have been gathered in the capital for many years, and even the little lover raised by the children of which family, my skinny monkey can say a few words. The thin monkey patted his chest and smiled.

"Yes," Gu Xi pretended to be surprised and asked curiously, "It's my first time in the capital, you might as well tell me, what forces in the capital can't be provoked?"

"If you take the money, you have to do something, you don't say that I am a thin monkey, I have to tell you," the thin man took a sip of the liquor on the table and said, "In the capital, no matter who you are, the first rule is not to kill people!"

"This is mentioned by the emperor, no matter who you are and how powerful you are, even if you are the crown prince, you can't wantonly kill people in the capital, once you are discovered, you will not be far from death, but some family members will take people outside the city to be secretly executed after making enemies with people. ”

"Also, in addition to the royal family, the most powerful in the capital is the Yue family and the Chen family, and in addition, there are many small families that are intertwined," the thin man said, "At the same time, the Yue family openly and secretly supports the royal family, and the royal family has also suppressed the Chen family in recent years." ”
