Volume 2, Swallowing Mountains and Rivers Chapter 147 The Qin Family
Hearing the inquiries of Liu Yang and the others, the young waiter looked at the three of them seriously. Looking at the faces of the former and the others, he didn't dare to be rude, and responded respectfully: "The shopkeeper went out to deal with some trivial matters just now, and he can't come back until the afternoon." ”
"Afternoon?"
Hearing this, Liu Yang frowned. Now it's only noon, and there are still two or three hours left before the afternoon time, so are the three of us staying here all the time?
"Childe, why don't we go find a place to rest first, and then come over to this shopkeeper. Qi Yan spoke, he was quite familiar with the city, and happened to know that there was a restaurant not far away that could not only settle down and stay in, but also the wine and food in it were quite delicious.
Qi Yande's proposal was extremely suitable. After a moment of silence, Liu Yang said to the young waiter: "Excuse me, if the shopkeeper Yu comes back in advance, I will inform him, and say that we are the people arranged by the imperial capital Jubaozhai, and we will come over again in the afternoon hoping to see him." ”
"Imperial City Jubao Zhai?"
Hearing this, the young waiter seemed to think of something. Hurriedly stopped the three of them, and said with a more respectful expression: "The shopkeeper Yu has explained, if there is a distinguished guest from the imperial capital in the past two days, if he is not there, let me receive him." ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is better for me to arrange your living for you on behalf of the shopkeeper. Not far away is the vine restaurant, if the three of them are lifted, I will arrange for you to live first, which means that the shopkeeper will come back and let him visit in person. ”
"Looks like you've been following this shopkeeper for a long time. Qi Yan smiled, obviously the young waiter knew the identities of the three of them from the shopkeeper, and the vine restaurant was the place where he planned to lead Liu Yang to settle down just now.
"The little one has been following the shopkeeper for five years, please rest assured. The young waiter smiled slightly, and said respectfully to Liu Yang and the others: "Three, please come with me." ”
"I'm curious about this shopkeeper. ”
Liu Yang smiled and did not refuse the other party's kindness. Obviously, this shopkeeper is very clear about his identity, but he may attach more importance to his identity as an alchemist. In terms of alchemy, although I am only a first-order alchemist, if I rely on the help of the Concentration Technique, if I operate on my own, although I can't refine five or six high-grade pills, I can definitely catch three or four grade pills. Moreover, some time ago, Yi Xuan instructed him some alchemy techniques, and Liu Yang was even more able to draw inferences. This Dao talent and entry realm were even more terrifying than his cultivation.
The vine restaurant is a large-scale place in the Nuoda Sanssouci City, occupying dozens of acres of the main street, and the behemoth-like spire building presents black and white, which is particularly eye-catching on the main street lined with shops.
The tall entrance is a wide open space. At this time, there were all kinds of exotic beasts and gorgeously decorated carriages or animal carts, and the crowd of people coming and going in twos and threes was of all kinds, and it was more of a group of cultivators dressed in uniform sects.
The sect power in Sanssouci City is prevalent, which is different from the major sects dormant in the Imperial City. The world here is more like a stage for the major sects to show, whether you are walking on the street or in the restaurant, you can see sect disciples wearing symbolic costumes.
For ordinary people, the best way to become a cultivator is to pass the test of certain sects. Only in this way can you become a cultivator in the shortest possible time and obtain the cultivation resources you need. Because of this, the qualifications of ordinary disciples of each sect are uneven.
It takes less than half an hour to get from the vine restaurant on Jubao Zhai Road. After talking, Liu Yang learned that the young waiter's name was Fang Zhi, who was an orphan since he was a child, and was raised by a lonely old man in Sanssouci City. Later, because of the ordinary qualifications, he failed to enter the cultivation of the sect, and because of his clever mind, he was favored by the shopkeeper in Jubaozhai on an errand, although he was not rich and rich, but he also lived a solid and stable life.
He must have known Liu Yangde's identity, and from time to time he supervised the former with the corner of his eye. Consciously or unconsciously, he looked at it, and there was a touch of excitement in his eyes, and it was difficult to hide his calmness. The eight great families of the Imperial City, like the eight Optimus Primes, have existed since the founding of the Great Qian.
If you talk about power, except for the Dingtian Sect that rose to prominence at the beginning, no one can really overpower these eight families. Moreover, if the eight major families are united, even the original arrogant Dingtian Sect will not be able to escape the fate of annihilation, you must know that the original Dingtian Sect ordered the hundred schools, which was the real and most prosperous period in the empire, and its background and strength were difficult to understand at all. Even the remnants of the disciples who were lucky enough to survive at the beginning were able to create a terrifying Demon Sect, and this situation shows the terrifying nature of the Dingtian Sect at the beginning.
At the beginning of the war, the eight major families contributed the most. The royal family infighting, the elites of the eight major families are all out, especially the several old powerhouses of the Liu family, who are dark and dark, and lead other family forces to quell Dingtianzong, although the Liu Mansion is in decline now, but the fame of the year is still there, which makes many young people yearn for it.
"Please understand, I will notify the shopkeeper as soon as he comes back in the afternoon. Fang Zhi smiled a little shyly, he was clever but now he was only twenty years old.
"It's fine, we're just asking him for some news. By the way, do you know about the Sanssouci auction?"
Looking at his appearance, Qi Yan asked.
"About the auction, Yu is clearer. I just heard that I will report it in the Sanssouci Sect in two days, so I don't know exactly how to participate. ”
"If the three of you don't know anything at that time, just ask the shopkeeper directly. ”
Saying this, the young waiter smiled apologetically.
"That's all there is to it. Haha laughed, Qi Yan didn't continue to ask.
Liu Yang's expression was calm, but there was some anxiety in his heart. I don't know why, he has a hunch that this trip to Sanssouci City will be a little troublesome, but he still needs to know the situation in the city before he can know.
"The shopkeeper mentioned to me, the three of them are all from the Liu Mansion?" After hesitating for a moment, Fang Zhi asked softly, most of the people in the entire empire knew about the deeds of the Eight Great Families.
"That's right, I'm from Liu's Mansion. ”
Hearing this, Liu Yang nodded. Although Qian Gongming informed them that they were from Liu's Mansion here, he did not tell them their true status.
And so it was. It is an honor to serve all three of you today. ”
The young waiter Fang Zhi nodded and didn't say anything more. While talking, he took Liu Yang and the three of them into the vine restaurant.
"Wait a minute, everyone, I'll arrange a room for you. Fang Zhi was extremely polite, respectful to Liu Yang and the others, and there was no negligence.
"This kid may be able to become a big man in the future. Qi Yan smiled and commented. Even if someone else knows Liu Yang's identity, although they will be very respectful, it is difficult to make such a comprehensive arrangement.
The three of them are not fools, and the shopkeeper Yu may have explained to him in advance. However, it may not have reminded him to arrange for Liu Yang and others to live and settle down, it is more likely that this young waiter of Fang Zhi observed his words and felt that Liu Yang and others had an extraordinary temperament, unlike ordinary disciples of Liu Mansion, and even guessed that it might be a more noble figure in Liu Mansion.
"Welcome to our vine restaurant. Do you need to use some food and drinks first?" A soft voice sounded, and a woman stood not far away, dressed in a thin veil, with smooth and fair skin and delicate facial features. Her eyebrows swept over the three of them, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a beautiful arc, as if with a slight smile.
When he saw Liu Yang's appearance, his eyes suddenly lit up. Her eyes wandered and she walked towards the three of them, revealing her white and tender calves with every step she took. The silver bells on his feet also made a slight sound with his steps.
A few years later, the welcoming girl became extremely gorgeous. Qi Yan smiled, his eyes looking at the former without hesitation.
"Arrange a table for us to drink. Liu Yang didn't say much, Qi Yan was a drunkard at the beginning, and it was not easy for a character with a loose personality like him to praise a girl.
"Three guests, please come with me. The woman covered her mouth and smiled, and the smile was so flowery that many people around her were stunned.
"Childe, this vine restaurant is extremely famous for its spirits in Sanssouci City. You'll have to let me have a few more drinks later. ”
As soon as Qi Yan sat down, he greeted Liu Yang in advance and said.
"As long as you don't delay your business, it's okay to have two more drinks. Liu Yang smiled and didn't stop him. After working hard for several days, not only Qi Yan but also himself was a little unbearable, so he could naturally understand the former's mood.
Not long after the three of them sat down, they suddenly heard a commotion outside. Liu Yang and the others didn't pay much attention to it, but Qi Yan's eyes were sharp, and they saw a familiar figure not far away.
"Childe, it seems that something happened to Fang Zhi. ”
Hearing his reminder, Liu Yang looked up and saw the young waiter Fang Zhi standing in the hall, looking at the brightly dressed figure opposite him with some confusion.
"Go over and see. ”
Frowning slightly, Liu Yang took the lead in getting up. Qi Yan and Liu Si followed behind.
"This young master is really sorry, the remaining three rooms have been booked by this little brother just now, if you want to stay in the hotel, you can go out and there is a hotel on the left. ”
Standing at the jade counter was an elderly man, who said to several figures with an apologetic smile: "Because it will be the annual auction of our Sanssouci City soon, the room is already full. ”
"You old thing, do you know who we are?"
A shrill voice came from a young man. He is dressed very exquisitely, wearing a jade crown on his head, a golden dragon embroidered on the collar of a blue brocade robe, and a pair of white shoes under his feet are dusty, which makes people know that he is from an extraordinary background at a glance.
Even so, the comparison with the two behind him seems a bit mediocre. One of them was a man, dressed in white and wearing white shoes, with only long black hair pouring down. It's very strange that ordinary young men have a hair cloak that inevitably has a bit of a taste of madness, but he is so elegant that he is not scattered at all, which makes people feel that the handsome men in the world should be like him with their hair scattered, so they can be called beautiful men.
Next to the handsome man is a girl, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a skin that is better than snow, and her eyebrows are picturesque, and she is actually a stunning beauty.
She has long hair and a shawl, and her whole body is white, and her hair is tied with a gold belt, and when the snow is reflected, it is even more brilliant.
"Old fellow, I don't want to talk nonsense with you. I'll pay 10,000 taels, how about you give us the last three rooms?"
Perhaps in a hurry, the young man slapped the large golden ticket on the counter, attracting many people's sideways.
"Isn't this guy crazy for three rooms for 10,000 taels?"
"Be careful to speak, it's the Qin family's son of Heishui. Just now I saw them take action and directly abolish a few disciples of the Feather Spear Sect. ”
"It turned out to be a child of the Qin family. The Qin family has grown very much in strength over the years, and Heishui has become a good scorer, and I heard that there are several strong people in the clan who have reached the Six Realms. ”
......
Seeing this scene, many people began to talk about it. The sharp-eyed people recognized the identities of the three people.
"This young master is really embarrassed, our vine restaurant has always been on a first-come, first-served basis for business. "A room is only a hundred taels of silver, and 10,000 taels of gold is a lot of money for the vine restaurant, but naturally it is impossible to ruin the reputation of the restaurant because of these money.
"In that case, stinky boy, I'll give you 10,000 taels, how about you give us three rooms?" Seeing that the old man disagreed, the young man asked loudly to Fang Zhi. Seeing that Fang Zhi was dressed plainly, a trace of disdain appeared in his eyes, and he deliberately added: "We are from the Qin family. ”
