Chapter Seventy-Five: The Yan Family Tavern
At this time, the sunset has sunset, the twilight is dark, and the sky is gradually getting cooler, but fortunately, through this noisy street and alley, you can go directly to the capital. In the capital, there are eight streets and nine mo, pedestrians coming and going, or tourists from other places, or merchants from afar, or small songs sold by vendors, or children playing and laughing, the river is endless, the traffic is busy, and it is worthy of being a bustling city.
In the streets and alleys, with the cold wind blowing, the flying breath is filled with a faint aroma of wine, which slowly enters the nose, stimulating the taste buds of the soldiers, and the soldiers are looking left and right, according to their sensitive sense of smell, to find the source of the aroma of wine.
"Eh, where does this wine come from, so mellow, rich, soft, so fragrant, do you smell it? It must be a good wine, and if you can taste it, it will be enjoyable. One of the soldiers said with a smile.
Hearing this, the soldiers gently smelled the aroma of wine, and the reverie in their minds: the mellow liquid slid leisurely over the tip of the tongue, moistened the throat, and flowed down into the throat, and a rising warmth floated in the abdomen, instantly, making people salivate.
"You can pull it down." The general also glanced at the soldier and said nonchalantly.
"This wine, you will think about it today, we are now going to the imperial city to meet the saint, if we drink wine, not to mention the smell of wine, if we cause trouble in the deep palace, or lose our manners in front of the saint, we can hardly bear the consequences, and each of us will not escape punishment." The general looked around at the soldiers, and also gave an order.
Hearing the sound, the soldiers became serious, and they also tacitly glanced at each other, smelling the wine but not drinking, full of a sense of loss, but also a helpless color, that is, I don't know if I can taste it again after leaving the imperial city.
"Tavern? Could it be—" said a soldier with a suspicious face.
"It turns out that the aroma of wine is coming from here." The young soldier sniffed hard from the air and pointed to the tavern with joy.
Hearing the sound, everyone looked at each other tacitly, and gradually stopped, at this time, the tavern was in front of it, and the smell of wine was very strong, but everyone could only watch licking their lips and smacking their lips.
"A bunch of unproductive people who haven't drunk?" The general rolled his eyes indifferently, then took a deep breath and smelled the aroma of wine, changed his mouth again, and pretended to be deep: "At most, when you get out of the imperial city and solve the matter of Qingling Lake, you will come here again, and then you will drink as much as you want to drink this wine." ”
Hearing this, the soldiers looked at the boss in disbelief, glanced at each other, and felt surprised, when did the boss speak so well? The things that the boss has decided are not easy to change his attention, and then look, the boss's eyes have been looking at the tavern, and the daring boss is also shocked by this wine, no wonder, staring so unsquintingly.
The soldiers looked at each other tacitly, not daring to break the boss's thoughts, and said happily: "Yes, thank you boss." The soldiers were secretly glad that they would soon be able to drink the wine.
Gao Yuncheng raised his head and stared straight at the antique tavern, the plaque was carved with four big characters 'Yan Family Tavern', this is the Yan Family Tavern, it must be related to Yan Chan'er.
In the Yan family tavern, Xiao Er carried the figure of wine and food, quickly shuttling between the back kitchen and the hall, occasionally talking and laughing, guessing fists, and the sound of cups colliding, which also added color to this bustling street.
Just as everyone was intoxicated in this tavern, a girl with a graceful figure, as if absent-minded, looked behind from time to time, staggered into the first general, and collided with the first general.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." The girl felt that she had hit someone, and took a step back in a panic, bent down and apologized.
"This official dares to collide, this woman is too daring."
"That's it, this is an official, it's too bold."
"That's bad luck."
The onlookers were talking one after another.
Hearing the sound, the girl felt that something was wrong, and suddenly looked up and saw a group of soldiers, she was also stunned, stunned, the girl trembled, as if she was on the edge of the abyss, and then bent down and bowed to apologize.
I was going to enter the palace today, and I came here to say goodbye to my father in my tavern, but I never thought that I would recklessly bump into someone, and it was a group of officers and soldiers, and it looked like it was not easy to mess with.
After the first general saw the girl's face clearly, the original irritable mood also softened, Miaoman's posture was very beautiful, and the flowery face and moon appeared in his mind, making the sky a little gloomy.
"Yan Chan'er." Gao Yuncheng also said without thinking, this girl is just in her prime, however, Gao Yuncheng can see at a glance that she is the palace maid Yan Chan'er, as Gao Yuncheng expected.
Hearing this, the soldiers also felt inexplicable, and looked at the girl with their eyes, only to find that the girl was as inexplicable and trance-like as them.
"Yan Chan'er, good name, in Xia Linxi." Lin Xi didn't wait for Gao Yuncheng to explain more, grabbed Yan Chan'er's arm, and said quite lightly.
Yan Chan'er shook her spirit violently, trembling all over, obviously frightened by Lin Xi's reckless, frivolous and shallow actions, and wanted to break free from the restraints, but to no avail.
Gao Yuncheng immediately stepped forward to relieve the siege, formed a confrontation with Lin Xi, and restrained Lin Xi's arm: "Stop, this will not bother you." ”
Gao Yuncheng thought to himself: Lin Xi? Why is the name so familiar? In a flash of inspiration, isn't this General Lin who rescued him on the day he ascended the throne?
Lin Xi felt the soreness in his arm, and also asked sharply at Gao Yuncheng: "What does this woman have to do with you, don't worry about my business." ”
When the phoenix heard Lin Xi scolding his master so loudly, it was okay, and he glared at Lin Xi angrily, as if he wanted to step forward to theorize, and secretly had some luck, but was secretly stopped by Long Yan, Qilin, and Chang Shou, shook his head, and signaled her not to be impulsive.
"Eh, it's none of my business, but it's his business, and his business is mine." Gao Yuncheng pointed to a handsome young man not far away, and also joked, he found out when Yan Chan'er was reluctant to give up and turned back frequently.
Suddenly, Yan Chan'er was stunned, stunned for a moment, full of suspicion, who is this man? Could it be that he knows Su Xi? For a moment, he looked at Gao Yuncheng in confusion as if he wanted to see him through.
"Where, who, come out for me." Lin Xi's cold eyes looked around, and finally found the young man peeking in this direction at the corner of the beam.
"Go to two people, get him for me. I'd like to see which one? Lin Xi raised his head, looked at Su Xi's side, motioned to the two soldiers, and ordered sharply.
"Come out." After receiving the order, the two soldiers rushed forward, grabbed the young man from behind the pillar, and pulled him out.
"What are you going to do? Why did you arrest him? Yan Chan'er shouted loudly, and also glared at Lin Xi fiercely.
This sound caused passers-by to look sideways, and it was also a look of curiosity and even disgust to Lin Xi's group of officers and soldiers.
Lin Xi seemed to be startled by this roar, and the little woman actually broke out with such a shout, and her hands trembled. Gao Yuncheng took advantage of the fact that Lin Xi's six gods were ownerless, and resolutely stopped Lin Xi and helped Yan Chan'er.
But I didn't expect this touch, and a tragic floating shadow appeared in my mind like lightning.
The 'crackling' sparks, the burning flames, engulfed the Yan Family Tavern, black smoke filled with black smoke, and in an instant, only ruins remained.
Yan Chan'er stood outside the Yan family tavern with a cry of grief, and the shadow of entering the deep palace, Su Xi stood in front of the imperial city in grief and entanglement.
Gao Yuncheng sensed this tragic illusion in his mind, and instantly like an electric shock, he also let go of Yan Chan'er's hand in shock.
No wonder Yan Chan'er said that she didn't have any relatives outside the palace, but now she has found the reason, the fate of the Yan family and the Yan family tavern is too tragic.
"Boss, someone brought it." The two soldiers suddenly shouted, waking up Lin Xi and Gao Yuncheng at the same time.
"Who are you?" Lin Xi asked at Su Xi.
"Eh, who is he, you ask? The two of them are childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses, what's the matter with you inserting a lever here? You don't have to be nosy, right? Phoenix also said angrily, she finally couldn't help it, this person is too scoundrel, Su Xi is their benefactor, she will never allow others to treat him like this.
Hearing the voice, Yan Chan'er and Su Xi looked at each other without saying a word, only a thousand tears, at this time, everything said was pale and weak, Yan Chan'er didn't know how to face Su Xi, Yan Chan'er was about to enter the palace as a palace maid, between the two, no one could do without each other, but Yan Chan'er was a palace maid I am afraid that she will not be able to get out of the deep palace in this life, so only Su Xi will enter the palace together, but Su Xi can only... Thinking of this, Yan Chan'er's heart ached like a knife.
"Damn." Lin Xi seemed to be annoyed and angry, and was once again shocked by a woman's words.
"I'm too lazy to tell you." Lin Xi seemed helpless, I don't know if I was shocked by this woman's aura, this woman is beautiful and fairy, from the first time he saw her, Lin Xi felt that this woman was not simple, like a fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world, or faintly felt in his heart that the five of them were not so simple, and dared to reveal the emperor's notice where ordinary people could dare to do.
"This is a person who wants to be a general, how can it be good to be frightened by your yelling?" Gao Yuncheng seemed to be scolding the phoenix, and there was sarcasm hidden in his words.
When those soldiers heard Gao Yuncheng say this, they were all on the verge of anger, ready to move, irritable, and wanted to be rough with Gao Yuncheng.
"Who was scared out, I said you are not..."
Lin Xi also paused, as if he remembered something, stretched out his hand to stop those soldiers, and said with a smile: "Hey, I don't dare to be called a general." Well, for your sake, even if today's business is over, Ben will not care about it. ”
When Lin Xi heard Gao Yuncheng's words, he completely forgot about Yan Chan'er, immersed in the title of this general, and was already secretly happy, if the matter of Qingling Lake was solved, maybe the Holy Dragon Yan Dayue rewarded me Lin Xi as a general.
"Let him go." Lin Xi glanced at Su Xi lightly, this young man was only in the year of dancing spoons, and then he saw that Yan Chan'er was only in the cardamom years, and Lin Xi no longer entangled with them too much.
"Ignore them, this imperial city is in front of you, let's go." Lin Xi said enthusiastically.
"The Yan family is in trouble." Gao Yuncheng said solemnly.
"Brother Yuncheng, what are you going to do?" Phoenix asked softly, and Long Yan, Qilin, and Chang Shou also looked at him curiously. The Taoist priest felt inexplicable, but he didn't dare to say a word.
"Let's talk about it when we get to the Imperial City." Gao Yuncheng took a deep look at the majestic imperial city.
