Chapter 13: Meditation and Fasting

"Full?"

An Xiruo touched her stomach and nodded.

"Then let's go have some refreshments."

Jing Xin Zhai is held in the downtown area, and the faint yellow lights create a sense of mystery in this teahouse. There are many people who like to drink tea, but there are not many guests who are meditating, and the few who are sporadically dressed and sit in the corners of the seats.

Huantong deliberately pinned the jade pendant in a conspicuous place, and always tidied up his clothes intentionally or unintentionally, fiddling with the jade pendant.

Sure enough, the people selected by the Sansheng Pavilion were very shrewd, and the shopkeeper noticed the jade pendant at a glance and understood the identity of this guest.

"Childe is here, please come in, the private room on the second floor is still reserved for you." The shopkeeper personally came out to greet the guests and brought Phantom Tong to the room that had been prepared for him a long time ago.

When the Jingxin Pavilion was built, this room was specially prepared on the second floor, which was specially prepared for Huantong. This design was still made by Meng Luotong, the master of the first pavilion, and everyone was very strange at that time, who was this Phantom Tong.

Now that I saw Phantom Tong, the shopkeeper realized that I had always heard of his name at that time, but not his person, because Phantom Tong was just a child at that time.

"Childe, the tea you ordered has arrived, do you want to go with me to have a look."

The shopkeeper saw that Phantom Tong had brought a strange woman over, and he wasn't sure if he could let her know about it, so he made up a reason to bring Phantom Tong out alone.

"Xiaoxi, you go in first and wait for me, and I'll go with the shopkeeper to have a look."

An Xiruo did not suspect it, and came directly into the room.

"Childe, please come here." The shopkeeper took Phantom Tong to the warehouse, saw that there was no one around, and gently closed the warehouse door.

"How's it going?"

Huantong has been thinking about this matter these days, and now he finally saw the shopkeeper of Jingxinzhai, and he was a little excited.

"The Lord of the Dream Pavilion asked me to tell my son that the Anling clan and the Nan family have a close relationship and have a lot of contacts. An Lingfeng was able to enter the palace as an imperial doctor, and he was also promoted by Prime Minister Nan. Childe's speculation is likely to be correct. ”

Phantom Tong breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately there was a connection. This is the only clue he has now, he was too young at the time of the incident, and he was not in the palace, and there are some clues that he has missed. Now, at least he has a direction.

"I suspect that the Feng family's accident was inseparable from Nan Hezhang, you let Meng Junsheng continue to investigate, and Queen Li and Nan Hezhang investigated together."

The shopkeeper nodded to indicate that he had written it down, and seeing that Huantong didn't seem to have anything to instruct, he went to open the door.

"Wait." Phantom Tong grabbed the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper looked at Phantom Tong suspiciously.

"Take me to see the tea leaves."

The shopkeeper suddenly realized, and while boasting that he was still a child, he opened a few boxes in the middle of the warehouse.

Phantom Tong actually doesn't know much about tea, looking left and right, and I don't understand why.

The shopkeeper saw that Huantong didn't know much, so he carefully explained the difference between these boxes of tea, and Huantong also heard it in a fog.

Tell the shopkeeper to have a pot of tea to relieve greasy and prepare two more refreshments. Anyway, he doesn't have to come to open the teahouse in person in the future, and Huantong doesn't want to listen to it here, he still wants to chat with Xiaoxi.

"You still know tea." An Xiruo was bored in the house alone, and he was very happy to see Huantong come back.

"I don't understand, but after all, it cost money, and it's only reassuring to take a look."

As soon as Phantom Tong sat down, the tea and refreshments were delivered. There was no reaction on his face, but he admired this shopkeeper in his heart.

This private room is the largest on the second floor and occupies an entire side. Two small storage rooms separate this room from the rest of the room and are very quiet. This is the only private room with a name, and the list is a "Luo".

The windows of the room are all made of bamboo, and the tables and chairs and one of them are all made of bamboo, so you can smell the faint fragrance of bamboo as soon as you enter the door.

In the corner of the room hangs a painting of a woman standing sideways beside a clump of phoenix tails. Except for the eyes, the other facial features are not clear. And the pupils of the exposed eyes are a faint brown.

"The painting has faded, and the eyes of the people in it are brown." An Xiruo pointed to the painting on the wall to Huantong, "The shopkeeper doesn't know how to change it." ”

Just now he was in the house, and An Xiruo had already carefully inspected the room.

"Probably because the painting is good-looking, I don't want to." Phantom Tong didn't care very much, he knew that there were many secrets in this Sansheng Pavilion, but this was not what he needed to care about now.

If An Xiruo picked up the teacup, the tea soup was clear, and he could smell the sweetness before he got close, and he didn't feel bitter when he drank it, leaving only a light and clear mouth.

"Good tea. How did you find this great place? ”

"I just came to Kyoto and wanted to get familiar with the terrain as soon as possible, so I took a walk around casually and happened to come across it." Phantom Tong also looked around, "If you like, we can come often." ”

An Xiruo drank tea and nodded. She buried her face in the teacup, not wanting Phantom Tong to find out, and she blushed.

"Help, catch the thief!"

Suddenly, a woman's cry for help came from outside the window. Phantom Tong opened the window and saw that it was a young lady downstairs and her little maid calling for help, while a man in black was running through the crowd with a purse.

Without thinking much about it, Phantom Tong went straight out of the window, ran two steps against the wall and jumped onto the street.

The private room was on the second floor, and seeing Huantong turn out directly, An Xiruo was really startled, exclaimed, stood up from the chair, and ran to the window. Seeing that Phantom Tong landed safely, he was relieved.

Phantom Tong found that there were a lot of people on the street, and it was inconvenient to chase after him, so he ran to the wall again, climbed the wall with his left foot, leaned his body, and took a step along the wall with his right foot, and successfully ran on the wall. He ran down the wall to the roof, chasing the thief on the roof.

The street was crowded, and the thief didn't move quickly, and Phantom Tong quickly caught up with him, jumped off the roof, landed in front of the black-clothed thief, and pressed him to the ground with one move.

The surrounding people looked at the phantom who had subdued the thief, and they stopped to praise, and the young lady who lost her things also arrived out of breath.

"Girl, see if you have enough money." Phantom Tong snatched the money bag from the thief's hand and handed it to the young lady.

It was the little maid who caught the money bag, she opened the money bag and counted it carefully, and then there was a smile on her little face.

"Miss, the money is all here, and there is no shortage at all."

When the young lady heard the news, she didn't care, but walked in front of Phantom Tong.

"Thank you Gongzi for helping, I don't know if I can leave my name and residence, and the little girl will come to thank you for coming to the door one day."

Just now, Huantong didn't take a closer look, and when he raised his head, he found that the clothes on this girl were finely made, like a good young lady at home.

"With a gesture, the girl doesn't have to take it to heart. Besides, that's my job. ”

While speaking, the capture was already here, and Huantong handed over the person to the catcher, and he didn't stay for long.

"Are you from the White Tiger Camp or the Red Fox Battalion?"

The young lady asked at Phantom Tong's back, but Phantom Tong didn't pay attention to it, and the young lady didn't give up.

"I am the concubine of Lord Li, the secretary of the military department, I will definitely find you!"

Master Li, the secretary of the military department, Huantong remembered that he had mentioned this person in the council hall that day, but it was his daughter who didn't want to save today.

Thinking that Xiaoxi was still in the teahouse, he was suddenly very worried, so he quickened his pace and no longer paid attention to the people behind him.
