Chapter 11: The Feast of the Hung Gate
Nie Ming's identity was clear to the guards, so compared to the layers of inspections that others went upstairs, his return seemed to be a leisurely walk.
After going straight back to the house, Mu Yi took out a bottle from his bosom, then took out and took a pill from it, and after making all these preparations, he tore open the envelope with the aroma.
Nie Ming was so cautious, naturally, not because he was afraid of the Qinglou drama, but this kind of place where the three sects and nine streams converged has always been a good place for the Demon Sect to hide, so he who is experienced will naturally prevent the other party from adding any ingredients to it.
But to his surprise, there were no mechanisms or ambushes in this letter, and then took out the special letter and there was a strong floral fragrance in the room, which was the fragrance of snow lotus, and it seemed that this man was really an elegant guy.
As for the invitation, it is also interesting:
"Nie Ming's son:
Recently, I heard that the Zun Jia actually lived in this inn and issued an invitation, and the little woman will set up a banquet on the Tianxiang Building to greet each other tonight, hoping that the time will come.
- Yukihime. โ
Seeing this name, Nie Ming's brows furrowed, he hadn't forgotten that the title of a saint of the Heavenly Demon Sect was Xue Ji, and at the same time, this was not the Huaiyang region where he became famous, and the most famous Qing people invited him inexplicably, this is not a normal situation.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Nie Ming still decided to accept this invitation, after all, he has absolute confidence in himself, even if the other party has any fancy intestines, he still has absolute confidence, and he is not alone!
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he silently walked to the desk in the corner, polished the pen, and waved it, sprinkled more than ten words on the paper.
"What's the point of going, what's the matter of coming, Nie will arrive." The large characters drawn by the iron hook and silver penetrated the back of the paper and were printed directly on the long table of solid wood.
After putting away the pen, Mu Yi slowly used the internal force to slowly dry the grinding marks on the paper, and then put it back in the original envelope.
After everything was done, Mu Yi walked downstairs again, and threw the envelope and a silver ingot into the arms of the old man who delivered the letter.
"Send the letter back, and I'll be there on time." After Nie Ming finished speaking, he sat back on the tea table that he usually made.
And at this time, Zhou Xiaozhong was also sitting here, and when he saw Nie Ming coming over, he gave him a cold glance: "Yo, isn't this Nie Gongzi, who is all in love with Snow Girl?" Why don't you go to Tianxianglou and drink tea in the shop? โ
Nie Ming smiled slightly: "What?" Miss Zhou, is she jealous? Why don't Xiaosheng accompany Miss Zhou here and not go to Tianxianglou? โ
Zhou Xiaochong was furious when he heard this, and when he saw her willow eyebrows, she picked up the broom on the table and said with a gesture: "Go, go, there is no place for you here, you want to drink tea and go to another house!" โ
Nie Ming's originally anxious heart was suddenly relieved, he suddenly got up and flashed behind the other party, and he grabbed the other party's small hand directly with a grasp of his palm.
Zhou Xiaozhong's face turned red when she was suddenly attacked, but she struggled a few times and failed to break free, and she looked around and found that the other Jinyi guards all had lively expressions on their faces, obviously without the intention of helping.
She could only puff up and say, "Let go of me!" โ
"Don't be angry, I'm still very satisfied with your tea art, let's sit down and drink tea." Mu Yi slowly pressed the other party to his seat, and then slowly put a bag of tea in front of him, "Don't be angry, the identity of the other party is not so simple." โ
Zhou Xiaochong silently opened the tea bag in front of him, and then sniffed it gently: "Last year's big red robe, Nie Gongzi's means are still strong, last year was not a good year, it seems that there is no tea flowing out of the official face." โ
"After all, the trade route in the northwest is still the way to make money from tea, and Da Hong Pao still has a share, so I will trouble you in the afternoon." Nie Ming sat back in his seat, "You must know that we are not interested in the Qinglou woman. โ
Nie Ming's explanation and the temptation of the best tea successfully diverted Xiao Chong's attention, and the nameless fire in the other party's heart because of Xue Ji's letter suddenly disappeared.
An afternoon passed during the tea break, and Nie Ming's mood became beautiful under the mediation of Xiao Chong, and he would welcome the evening meeting in an excellent state.
And Lin Fuhu in the dark was not so happy, looking at Nie Ming and Zhou Xiaochong's "flirting" and Xue Ji's invitation to Nie Ming, an emotion called jealousy filled his body.
However, he is very clear about the difference in strength between the two sides, so his goal has always been no longer on Nie Ming's body, and his target tonight is not only Zhou Xiaochong, but also his inn!
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
The sky was getting dark, Mu Yi rode another war horse provided by Uncle Li to Tianxianglou, the reason why he didn't use the horse he used often was that he was worried that something would happen, a good horse was not so easy to find, so Nie Ming was not willing to take him on an adventure.
Although it was the first time for Nie Ming to go to Tianxianglou, he did not encounter any difficulties, because the town was not big, and the location of Changqingfang was still very central, and he was also familiar with this terrain.
It took Nie Ming less than a stick of incense to walk from the inn to a palatial building, although the other party changed his name, but Changqingfang expected that he still knew the relationship between Tianxianglou.
And businessmen who don't know the truth will definitely think that this is some kind of courtyard for dignitaries and nobles when they see this place for the first time, because the Changqing Fang that has been expanded several times covers an area and is wide, and the rumored three floors, six courtyards and eighteen pavilions are not imaginary numbers.
The core of Changqingfang is Tianxianglou, which occupies half of the surrounding three streets with this gorgeous building as the center, if it is in the normal state capital, the roots of such a huge commercial store should have been investigated a long time ago, but Changqingfang does not, his behind-the-scenes are well hidden, and have not been discovered.
However, this has nothing to do with Nie Ming, who is far away from Emperor Tiangao, he came to make an appointment, so he walked directly into the open door of Changqingfang.
At night, Changqingfang has become a place of busy traffic, with a large number of cars and horses parked at the entrance, and more farmers with calloused hands will also come here to listen to music and relax in their spare time.
However, Mu Yi didn't pay attention to them, but walked directly past everyone and walked to the entrance, there were many people who were ready to attack, but when they saw the halberd behind him, they silently closed their mouths that were about to open.
The peasants and businessmen in the rivers and lakes are very simple, they know who can be messed with and who cannot be messed with.
And when she arrived at the door, there was naturally a proud maid waiting here, and when she saw Mu Yi appear, she immediately bowed down and saluted: "Nie Gongzi is here, and the horses can let the turtle slave take it to the backyard first." โ
Nie Ming nodded, then turned over and dismounted, and threw the horse's reins to the side: "Lead the way!" โ
He could see at a glance that the kung fu of this maid was not shallow, so he silently raised his speed, and the other party seemed to see what Nie Ming meant, and the speed of the two continued to increase.
Originally, Lin Fuhu walked for half an hour, and the two of them only spent two quarters of an hour to cross easily, and the red candles of Tianxianglou that appeared in front of the two were hung high, full of charming atmosphere under the cover of light yarn.
The maid smiled: "Nie Gongzi really has a face, you must know that Tianxianglou is the first time to welcome guests at night, and you are also Miss Xue's first guest to enter the scene." โ
"Then I'm so honored." Nie Ming smiled mysteriously, and slowly inserted the halberd in his hand behind his back, "I don't know how you are prepared." โ
"Naturally, I won't disappoint my son, since you have prepared a sharp weapon." The maid slowly pushed open Tianxianglou, "Childe, please, the girl is waiting for you on the third floor." โ
Nie Ming smiled: "Aren't you going in?" โ
"No, I'm just a leader, and there are naturally other people in the building to show you the way." The maid laughed.
Nie Ming nodded and slowly walked into the Tianxiang Building.
Just as Nie Ming stepped in, the huge wooden door slammed shut!
Although the retreat was suddenly closed, Nie Ming in the building did not have any psychological fluctuations, he just glanced at the four charming environments, and silently felt the murderous intent hidden in it.
"The mandala incense of the Western Regions combined with the silver snake grass on the Tianshan Mountains can create a strange and calming aroma, and this aroma can well mask the aroma of other medicines, the methods of the Heavenly Demon Sect are quite trendy?" Nie Ming laughed.
"Since Nie Gongzi is so knowledgeable, the little woman won't make a move, you can go directly to the second floor." The four red-clothed maids each walked out of the darkness with a flower basket, "The first floor can easily pass through with pharmacology, which is very simple for you, but the second floor is not so easy. โ
Nie Ming slowly walked to the top of the stairs, and then suddenly waved out the long halberd tied to his back, and the four maids only felt a crisp cracking sound when they saw a flower in front of them.
After doing everything, Nie Ming walked up the stairs again unhurriedly and went straight to the second floor.
When they reacted, their faces changed: "The Holy Maiden's Heavenly Silk was discovered, this guy really deserves to be a famous Mobei guest in the rivers and lakes!" โ
At this time, Nie Ming's voice came from upstairs: "Thank you for the reminder, but remember to tell your holy maiden that the heavenly silk will have a strange fluctuation when it encounters the cold, which cannot be avoided if it is arranged." โ
As he spoke, Nie Ming had already stepped into the flower hall on the second floor, and at this time he could no longer see the stairs opposite, because in front of him were red cloths stretched diagonally.
Facing this situation, Nie Ming chuckled: "Is it the rule here that I should break the formation, and I can't tear this formation with a sharp blade, and at the same time successfully reach the opposite side?" โ
"Nie Shaoxia is talented, that's right, this is the Twelve Red Luo Formations of the Holy Sect, and it is not easy to see the true face of the Holy Maiden." A coquettish voice came from the array.
"Okay, let me try it over there." Nie Ming said and picked up the halberd behind his back.
