Chapter Seventy-One: The Guest Inn

Suddenly, a burst of crackling firecrackers echoed in everyone's ears one after another, shocking the pedestrians in the streets and alleys, until they resounded in the sky.

In the streets and alleys, a carved inn sounded with the sound of firecrackers, and in front of the main entrance, pedestrians stopped and watched, but only three or five people occasionally entered the inn.

Through the elegant hollow carved window, you can see the inn up and down the three floors of the pavilion, carved railings and jade, unique, the golden nan wood plaque hanging in front of the main entrance, the plaque is carved with the four big characters of 'guest inn', and the surrounding is finely carved and embellished with beautiful floral patterns.

The cool breeze blew through every corner of the streets and alleys, slowly slicing over the bodies of passers-by until they shivered coldly, however, Gao Yuncheng and his party walked from the suburbs to the capital, not to mention physically and mentally exhausted, and their faces were also oozing crystal beads of sweat.

Even though those soldiers were exhausted, they had some scruples about the commander, and they did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and although they pretended to be calm, they also slowed down their pace.

The passers-by also saw Gao Yuncheng and his party passing by the inn when they hurriedly ran away, they knew that this group of people were soldiers guarding outside the city, coming from the suburbs, as for the reason why they came to the capital, they did not know, but they also heard the rumors about Qingling Lake, and they faintly felt uneasy in their hearts.

The passers-by who would notice the passing by stared at them curiously, but as if hiding from the plague, they walked far away from the road, and an inexplicable anger burst out of his heart.

However, at this time, he was physically and mentally exhausted and didn't bother to pay attention to these people, if it was on weekdays, he would definitely arrest them and whip them to relieve his anger.

"Stop, don't go, just rest in this inn, rest for a while, drink tea, and then set off for the imperial city."

Hearing the sound, those pedestrians who came and went also fled one after another, and the people in this deep palace could not afford to be provoked.

The soldiers glanced at each other, a tacit look, and in an instant, a smile bloomed on their faces, and they could finally rest.

Gao Yuncheng and his entourage walked into the 'Kelai Inn', looked around, the tables and chairs carved from the fine sandalwood, carefully carved with different patterns, the corner to the attic on the escalator is also carved with a dragon soaring and dancing, and the top beam at the corner of the head is carved with three words 'herringbone'.

Gao Yuncheng and a few people secretly admired in their hearts, the decoration of this inn was really magnificent, however, before they came, the entire inn was also deserted, and there were only two or three people drinking tea and talking.

"Why are there so few people in this inn?"

"This inn has just opened, and it's normal that there are fewer people."

Hearing the sound, the shopkeeper was also stunned for a moment, with a sad face, but in an instant, he changed in an instant, showing a welcoming smile, and he also greeted him: "Guest officer, please inside, hit the tip or live in the hotel?" ”

"Just bring us a cup of tea, and we'll rest and set off." The song sat down on a wooden stool and shouted.

Seeing that the chief general was seated, the soldiers dared to sit down on the wooden bench to rest.

The shopkeeper picked up the crystal teapot on the table and poured tea for them one by one: "Guest officer, please use it slowly." ”

Gao Yuncheng and his entourage picked up the teacup, a light tea fragrance slowly spread from the nose to the throat, after a sip, the temperature of the tea was not lukewarm or hot, this tea was like jade liquid, which made people feel refreshed and happy, and then drank it.

The fragrant tea moistened into his throat, but it was still unfinished, but it also hit Gao Yuncheng like thunder, the taste of this tea is so familiar, thinking about it, it must be after he crossed over to the Qianxia Kingdom This taste, although he doesn't study tea much, but this taste remembers it, and a thought flashed.

"Shopkeeper, please ask you if you have something." Gao Yuncheng looked at the shopkeeper and shouted.

The soldiers mistakenly thought that he was going to make some move, and they were about to step forward to stop him, but they were stopped by the general's hands, and a look of the eyes signaled them not to act rashly.

"Guest officer, if you have something, just say it." The shopkeeper was also curious when he saw Gao Yuncheng's humble expression.

"Shopkeeper, are you from the Yan family?" Gao Yuncheng stared at him, as if he wanted to see him through, Yan Chan'er said that this tea was ancestral, so this person must have a lot to do with the Yan family.

"The Yan family? Why did the guest officer say that? The shopkeeper was puzzled. The guest officer stared at the tea thoughtfully, and the shopkeeper knew it instantly.

"You're asking about this tea, right? This tea was given by Boss Yan of the Beijing Tavern, do you know Boss Yan? ”

The shopkeeper was also full of suspicion.

"I was fortunate enough to drink the Yan family's tea." Gao Yuncheng replied.

The shopkeeper was stunned, and only replied slowly: "I see." "Deep down, there is shock and suspicion.

This tea is the ancestor of the Yan family, it was a tribute in the palace before, however, for some reasons, this tea has long been no longer popular in the palace, although it cannot be used as a tribute in the palace, the people of the Yan family can not sell this thing in the streets and alleys of the capital, he is also fortunate to help Boss Yan, only to get such some tea, the people in the inn have only drunk, but they don't know that this tea is the Yan family.

At this time, he was like a monk who was confused, and he was very melancholy, and these people in the inn were also ordering a cup of tea, and left after drinking, to put it bluntly, these regulars came to the Yan family's tea, and the Yan family did not sell this tea, but it also made him very distressed.

"Ugh." Unconsciously, the shopkeeper also sighed.

This sigh attracted the curious eyes of Gao Yuncheng and his party in the inn.

"Shopkeeper, you are in charge of such a big inn, why are you so sad." Gao Yuncheng asked.

"That's why I'm worried, as you can see, my inn is big but there are few people staying there. If this continues, my inn should be closed. The shopkeeper was stunned.

"Are you kidding, didn't your inn just open? The firecrackers were put in your inn before, right? Phoenix asked.

The soldiers also agreed: "Yes." Oh, yes. ”

"Don't hide it from you, my inn has been open for half a month, there are few people at all, I set off firecrackers is also a helpless move, only after the firecrackers are released, a few people come to the inn, and no one comes in on weekdays." The shopkeeper seemed reluctant to mention it, and his face turned pale for a moment.

"Is it because of Qingling Lake?" A little soldier asked curiously.

"Eh, you're always like this, you're really stupid, the boss just said, it's been like this for half a month, what does it have to do with Qingling Lake? Can you listen to others carefully? Another soldier lectured.

The two men seemed to laugh and play like this, causing the rest of the soldiers to laugh too.
