Chapter 8 Appointments
Around the roof of the main hall, there is a night pearl that can be like the size of a baby's fist, it is shining, the whole hall is paved with black jade, the blue bricks are tiles, the pillars made of white jade are inlaid with golden flowers, and the whole hall is indescribably luxurious and atmospheric.
There was a man in black sitting on the main seat, about twenty years old, the lines of his face were as resolute as a knife carving, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips pursed with a serious face, and his eyes looked at the two kneeling below, if there was an invisible pressure in the whole hall.
The person kneeling on the ground said in a trembling tone, "Master, it is the subordinates who are not doing well, so that those people have taken advantage of the loopholes, please punish the master"
The black-clothed man's voice was mixed with cold ice and stretched the end of the note, "How to do it, I still want to teach you, huh?" ”
The two kneeling people shivered, wiped the beads of sweat on their heads, and one of them said tremblingly, "Master, our people were jointly strangled by the people of the two sects, Master Lin was seriously injured, our doctor can't heal, I heard that the holy hand of the divine doctor received the medical card of the Hussar General's Mansion of the Cangying Kingdom, the master ........"
"I'll go myself, you guys go down," the man in black interrupted her, waving at them.
The two sighed softly, smoothed the thumping little heart, and hurriedly got up and retreated, for fear that they would not be able to walk if they were one step slower.
The man closed his eyes, his good-looking fingers rubbed his eyebrows lightly, his thin lips pursed out a good-looking arc, looking at the empty hall, there was an indescribable emotion in his eyes, and the emotions that he didn't know gradually rose.
In the early morning of the next day, Hua Mian and Chu Chenxi went north and parted ways to the northwest.
Chu Chenxi followed the shortcut by himself, but in seven or eight days, he arrived at the Firmament Country.
As soon as he entered the city, he found his own inn and entered the inn dressed in red.
Xiao Er hurriedly greeted him, "Childe is accommodation?" ”
Chu Chenxi ignored it, sat down on the chair next to him, ignored Xiao Er, and threw a blood-red ginkgo leaf-like sign on the table.
Xiao Er is also a visionary, so he naturally knows this pavilion master's token, and hurriedly respectfully said, "Master, please come inside"
Xiao Er led the way in front, led Chu Chenxi into a room in the backyard, poured tea and said, "Master, wait a minute, the shopkeeper will come soon" and retreated, a person of this level is not something he can talk to.
In a moment, a middle-aged man about forty years old walked in, it was the shopkeeper of this inn, the kind that looked extremely ordinary and could not be found in the crowd, and knelt down on one knee towards Chu Chenxi, "Pavilion master, subordinate Li Yang, the merchant building belongs, and the emperor of the firmament country."
There are four floors in the Flower Pavilion, which are the dark building, the commercial building, the medicine building, and the moon building. The dark building is responsible for collecting information and managing the dark pile, the commercial building is in charge of the economic income of the flower building, and the medicine building is in charge of all the medicine halls under the flower building.
There are four owners in the Flower Pavilion, the owner of the Fengxiao Building, who is in charge of the dark building, responsible for collecting and sorting out information, and managing the dark pile.
Yun Fei, who looks like a weak scholar, looks cough cough, Chu Chenxi's words are a little white face who eats soft rice, in charge of the commercial building, Yun Fei is in charge of all the business of Hua Ge, and he holds the economic lifeline of Hua Ge, in short, he is rich.
There is also Weng Hai, an old man about fifty years old, in charge of the pharmacy, the management of the medicine hall of the four countries, Weng Lao is responsible for the order of the landlord, every year on the rivers and lakes in the form of auction of medical cards, the disciples of the medical building also won the careful teaching of Weng Lao and the two pavilion masters, responsible for the auction of medical cards. When you encounter something that can't be cured, you ask the pavilion master to take action,
The second is that the moon is gone, in charge of the moon building, and is responsible for the buying and selling of news.
The division of labor between the top and bottom of the flower pavilion is clear, and the classes are strict, and each performs its own duties.
Chu Chenxi raised his hand towards the shopkeeper and motioned for him to stand up, "No need to be polite, I don't have to publicize my coming, it's just some private matters, go check where Ye Nan is located" handed the jade pendant that Huamian handed to him in his arms to the shopkeeper, "Send this person to him"
Li Yang hurriedly stepped forward and took it with both hands. Before I asked, I heard Chu Chenxi say
"Find a restaurant and ask him to meet him tomorrow afternoon"
Li Yang hurriedly responded, "Master, there has been a strange incident in Min Cheng recently, and his subordinates are preparing to report the news to the landlord, can the master listen to it?" ”
Chu Chenxi bowed, his own business should still be more concerned about.
Seeing Chu Chenxi nodded, he hurriedly said: "Recently, about one-fifth of the business of the principals of the cities of the Firmament Country seems to have been suppressed by someone intentionally or unintentionally."
"What is it like? And is it intentional or not? Chu Chenxi was very strange when he heard him say this.
Li Yang didn't know how to explain, "Master, my subordinates just feel that in the past month, the business in the cabinet has been suppressed, but after careful inspection, there is nothing wrong, and the heads of other cities also have feelings, a city is a coincidence, but there are too many coincidences to have to be suspicious."
Chu Chenxi rubbed his eyebrows, thought for a while and said, "I know about this matter, pay close attention to the recent business dealings, and talk about the rest when I think about it."
Li Yang looked at Chu Chenxi's somewhat tired appearance and said, "Master, hot water has been prepared, you bathe and rest first, and your subordinates will retire." ”
Chu Chenxi waved his hand at the shopkeeper and walked towards the inner room. He was already exhausted after running for a few days and nights, and he had to sleep.
In the evening, Chu Chenxi woke up leisurely, relieved the fatigue of the journey, and the whole person was in a lot of energy, and ordered someone to call for food.
Li Yang saw that the master got up, and hurriedly rushed to Chu Chenxi to say, "Master, Yu Pei has sent someone to send it to the regent, and made an appointment to see him at Zuixiang Lou at noon tomorrow, and when the person who delivered the letter came back, the regent sent someone to follow him, but he was dumped by our people." ”
Chu Chenxi nodded with satisfaction, sure enough, his own people were smart, picked up the handkerchief and tried it, and said to Li Yang with the corner of his mouth, "I know, you go and get busy, I'll go out for a walk, you don't have to follow"
It's also great to have nothing to do and wander around this night market.

Regent's Mansion Study
A man in a dark gray robe was sitting at his desk, listening to the respectful subordinate beside him.
This man's dark and deep eyes, thin and lightly pursed lips, and angular outlines, with all the nobility and elegance are displayed, and this is the regent of the Firmament Country, the night is silent.
"Anyi, I'll go to the appointment tomorrow, you go to tell the emperor that I have something, and I won't enter the palace tomorrow" Ye Nan quietly rubbed the jade pendant in his hand, and his black eyes revealed uncontrollable tenderness and longing.
The person next to him hurriedly bowed down and slowly exited the study.
Just surprised by the expression on his grandfather's face, what was that? Is it gentleness? Is it the future princess who is going to see tomorrow, An Yi was excited, his master turned out to be a sweetheart. It's strange that I have to get close to the woman, it turns out that I am guarding the princess like jade.
Ye Nan Lin looked at the jade pendant in his hand and muttered, "Is it you?" ”
The night was as cool as water, the candlelight in the house was flickering, the drizzle outside the window was ticking, and the water was quietly dripping down the eaves, spreading ripples on the ground.
---------------------------------------
Hua Mian, who was still swaying on the road here, was about to fall apart by the carriage, and without Chu Chenxi watching, Hua Mian willfully abandoned the carriage.
Riding a horse galloping in the mountains and forests, dressed in white clothes and jade belts, black fox skin, masks covering his face, and the reins in his hands were lightly pulled, the galloping horse under him stopped, and changed to a swaying pace.
Huamian sat on the back of a horse panting lightly, never galloping like this, it turned out to be so hearty.
Looking at the rugged road in front of him, he lightly clamped the horse's belly and continued to move forward.
-----------------------------------------
At noon the next day, Zuixiang Lou was in a private room
Chu Chenxi and Ye Nan Lin faced each other in pairs, looking at each other carefully, An Yi stood behind Ye Nan Lin a little ..... Well, I can't accept it, although the person his grandfather likes is indeed not comparable to ordinary people, but he is a man.
Chu Chenxi looked at the man in front of him and smiled evilly, his knuckles were clearly clasped on the table one by one, it was very good-looking. Ye Nan smiled gently, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he played with the green jade wine glass in his hand, one green and one white compared to Chu Chenxi.
The two of them, who also have peerless faces, sit together and are on par, but Chu Chenxi has the flamboyance and uninhibition of a young man, more like fire, and Ye Nan's warm and jade-like temperament is wrapped in a sharp and sharp domineering spirit, like a bottomless ocean.
Ye Nan smiled like a spring breeze, and said leisurely, "Your Excellency is the king of Joben, but what's the matter?"
Chu Chenxi said, "Since the regent is straight to the point, the young master is not nonsense, entrusted by people, loyal to people, the jade pendant given to the prince was promised by the prince two years ago?" ”
Ye Nan raised her eyebrows, "But you're not her"
Chu Chenxi said impatiently, "Master said, being dragged by others, isn't it just being dragged by your benefactor, isn't the regent curious, why did I come here, Master?" ”
Ye Nan smiled silently and did not speak.
"Forget it, the young master is too lazy to fight a lawsuit with you, so I don't know if the regent knows that five years ago, the Hussar General's Mansion of the Cangying Kingdom was slaughtered overnight?" Chu Chenxi's words were tentative.
Chu Chenxi looked at Ye Nan Lonely fixedly, naturally seeing a flash in his eyes, he raised his eyebrows in some surprise.
Ye Nan Lin closed his eyes slightly, took a sip of tea, and still looked like he didn't care about himself, and said, "I'm afraid that there are few people in the four countries who don't know about this matter, when the emperor of the Cangying Kingdom heard that his love will burn the whole family to death in the mansion overnight, Long Yan was furious, and the punishment department, Dali Temple investigated for more than a month, arrested more than 100 people, and hung the heads of the bandits on the city wall, I heard that there are more than 100 heads, which is extremely spectacular, but it is a pity that the king has not been able to see it" After speaking, he shook his head regretfully.
Chu Chenxi secretly said in his heart that the fox was dead, avoiding the important and light, not mentioning the general's mansion at all, his face was still smiling evilly, who didn't have a fox skin, "I heard that the general had a son and a daughter, and he was not killed, those two corpses were just stand-ins, and the master came to you with this jade pendant just to bother the prince to find the right brother and sister."
Ye Nan smiled even deeper, "I'm afraid that this king doesn't have this ability, as far as this king knows, all the general's mansion was buried in the fire, you tell this king now that the two are not dead, how do you let this king find it?" ”
Chu Chenxi rolled his eyes, "Isn't the prince willing to help?" ”
