Chapter 25 Jinling

Lin Congrong slowly opened his eyes, every time before entering the world, the surrounding environment would suddenly change with a white light that completely covered his vision, and the wider the scene he entered, the more intense and dazzling the white light became. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Lin Congrong is at this moment, it is like a corner of the huge city of Jinling City, Jinling City swallows the river and hides the mountain, the whole city is built according to the Yangtze River, one side is surrounded by the river, and Lin Congrong is standing on a long causeway on the side of the river.

The first thing that came into Lin Congrong's field of vision was the vast rushing Yangtze River outside the embankment, when looking at the endless river rolling eastward, Lin Congrong was shocked by the scene of the creation of heaven and earth, and even produced a trance feeling that the whole person was going to disappear with the waves.

But what really disappeared with the waves was a few fishing boats in the field of vision, because it was far from the shore, so in Lin Congrong's eyes, he could only barely see a few black dots floating in the sky between the white waves, but it was precisely because of these few moving black spots that Lin Congrong had the feeling of finding the same kind, so that he would not be completely excluded by the vast nature in front of him.

When the gaze gradually retracts from the vast scenery from far and near, the water potential slowly becomes shallow and calm. To the sand and gravel sediment outside the embankment, the bubbling water is shallow to see the bottom, there are several pieces of grass Tingzhou, the green new grass and trees make Lin Congrong speculate that it is the season of spring flowers at this moment, and the faint mist that permeates the Tingzhu is to make Lin Congrong's heart feel comfortable and fully appreciate the beauty of the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

After enjoying a few breaths of the pleasant air full of moist water and the fragrance of plants and trees, Lin Congrong jumped off the causeway briskly in three steps and two steps, and was about to go to the city, and Xue Jiazhu's contact message was also sent through the ID card as soon as possible.

"Brother Lin, where are you?"

"The Yangtze River flows into the sea in the east through Jinling, and Jinling is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, where I am now is close to the Yangtze River, I think it is either north or west of the city!"

“…… I should be in the south of the city, we are far apart! ”

"yes." Hearing Xue Jiazhu's report, Lin Congrong pondered for a while, and then decided to focus on finding out the news, anyway, everyone will definitely go to Xingyunzhuang in the end, so they will not be busy gathering, and then they will naturally meet, "Zhuzi, listen to me, let's first collect the relevant information in the rivers and lakes now, such as which martial arts masters are gathered in Xingyunzhuang now, and for example, the traces of the plum blossom thieves in the recent period...... In short, you adapt to the situation first, and we will see you in Xingyunzhuang after we have a certain understanding of the overall situation! ”

"Okay." After Xue Jiazhu replied with a brief message, he didn't say anything more, and Lin Congrong also lifted his spirits and walked towards the city.

There are countless elegant scribes in the south of the Yangtze River, and the builders of Jinling City must also have good aspirations. I saw that a small stream was introduced from the causeway, which poured into the city, and the long pavilion was built next to the stream, and tender bamboo and willows were planted all over. Walking on the stone road paved with blue bricks, the red eaves and vermilion tiles in the eyes and the green branches of the green trees reflect each other, and when you come to a slightly populated place, there are more young girls who are walking in pairs or laughing, or quietly shuttling back and forth between the green shades of the long pavilion, constructing a beautiful early spring picture.

After walking forward along the bluestone road for a while, after turning a shady corner, the houses and pedestrians in front of Lin Congrong suddenly increased, and he must have walked to the main street of Jinling City.

The wide long street is full of people and traffic, and it is very lively.

An old buffalo was chewing hay slowly in its mouth, pulling an ox cart to squeak past Lin Congrong, and the driver on the ox cart hummed a small tune happily. The walls of the tall mansion next to it shelter from the hot sunlight, sheltering the vendors selling all kinds of handicrafts in the cool shadow. In the streets, young men in silk robes rode together on tall horses, chatting and laughing with each other and pointing out the pomp and circumstance of the city.

Everything is so orderly and peaceful, feeling the current atmosphere, Lin Congrong's mood has also become relaxed, he clearly organizes his thoughts in his mind, since ancient times, the restaurant and tea shop have talked a lot, if you want to find out the news, you should first set the goal in this kind of place.

Smiling and talking with a vendor selling all kinds of pastries, he heard that the nearest big restaurant was a place called Hongyilou, Lin Congrong thanked him, and went to Hongyilou.

Hongyi Building is not far away, after walking through four streets, what appeared in front of Lin Congrong's eyes at this moment is this carved wood building, the door hangs sandalwood bronzing signboards, and the flow of people under the door is like a restaurant in the city.

Walking into the hall on the first floor of the restaurant, the first thing I saw was the mahogany counter facing the door, a bookkeeper was busy fiddling with the abacus with one hand, making records in the account book with one hand, and from time to time raising his head to issue various instructions to the shopkeepers, and the black pear wooden shelf behind the counter was full of all kinds of jar wine.

The spacious hall is full of people, and the more than 20 wine tables are all full of people at the moment, Xiao Er's shouting and announcing food, the drunkard's order to guess the fist, and the chatting and laughing of the drinkers fill Lin Congrong's ears, and the aroma of the wine and food makes Lin Congrong can't help but move his index finger.

Seeing Lin Congrong walk in from outside the door, a shopkeeper stepped forward smartly and quickly, with a smile on his face, and shouted loudly to invite him to an empty table on the second floor.

"Guest, what do you want? Our master chef is proficient in steaming, roasting, stewing, boiling, frying, and stir-frying. At present, the seasonal famous dishes include salted duck, rouge goose, anchovy shrimp, stewed soft-shelled turtle, squirrel osmanthus fish are all delicious and delicious, and the store also has all kinds of desserts ......",

was bombarded by the well-spoken shopkeeper in front of him, Lin Congrong's eyes were opened, and the smile on his face became stronger and stronger as he listened to the names of the dishes he announced.

"Okay, don't say it, Xiao Er, give me two of your best-selling hot dishes and one dessert, that's enough, I can't eat much if I come alone." Interrupting Xiao Er's talking, Lin Congrong finally spoke.

"Huh? Okay! Then a piece of osmanthus salted duck, a stewed crab roe lion's head, plus a ginkgo soup with honey, a total of thirteen taels of silver, guest officer, do you think this is good? The shopkeeper skillfully reported the name of the dish, still with a warm smile on his face.

"yes, okay." Lin Congrong's heart moved, and the points exchange menu of the ID card suddenly popped up in front of him, last time in the Harry Potter world, because he had no points, all the expenses were borne by Xue Jiazhu, so now it is the first time for him to use points to exchange items in the world.

"You currently have 5800 points, and the list of redeemable items is as follows."

"Blue Blade: Increases physical melee attack by 2~3 points, costs 500 points, and cannot be taken out of this world."

"Chain mail: Increases physical defense by 2 points, costs 500 points, and cannot be taken out of this world."

"Longquan Sword: Increases physical melee attack by 3~5 points, costs 800 points, and cannot be brought out of this world."

“……”

"Tattooed silver: Jin Yong, Gulong, and the common currency of the Three Kingdoms, the exchange ratio of 1 two pieces of silver = 1 point, which can be brought out of this world."

"It's a bargain." Lin Congrong thought in his heart that a piece of equipment could easily cost thousands of points, but consumables such as currency were so cheap, so he immediately used 50 points to exchange for the same amount of silver.

The exchanged items are automatically saved in the personal storage space in the ID card, and there are a total of five pieces of silver at this moment, Lin Congrong's heart moved, and as soon as his right hand was closed, two pieces of silver appeared in his palm.

"Little second brother, this is twenty taels of silver for you, you don't need to look for it, you can use the extra silver to play, can I ask you something?"

"Ouch, that's too polite...... Guest, don't hesitate to ask if you have anything to do! There's nothing I don't know about in this city! The guest in front of him was so generous as soon as he made a move, and at this moment, in Xiao Er's heart, he had already regarded Lin Congrong as a god of wealth, and he hurriedly smiled even brighter, patting his chest and asking Lin Congrong for a package ticket.

"Little second brother, I heard that there is a Xingyunzhuang in Jinling City, and in the past two days, masters have gathered, saying that they want to eliminate harm for the martial arts and hunt down plum blossom thieves?"

"Isn't it? In order to catch the plum blossom thieves who plagued the women of the good family everywhere, the heroes and heroes who came from south to north on the rivers and lakes came to the Xingyun Village of Long Xiaoyun and the fourth master of Longxiao...... And I heard that the plum blossom thief has been caught, and it is the famous little Li Tanhua - Li Xunhuan ......"

Hearing Li Xunhuan's name, Lin Congrong's heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly probed: "In this way, Li Xunhuan is a plum blossom thief?" ”

"It's hard to say." Unexpectedly, a trace of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the shopkeeper, who was originally very excited, and his speech slowed down, "Li Xunhuan has disappeared from the rivers and lakes for many years in recent years, and I heard that he seems to have recently entered the Central Plains from outside the Guan. He is also the sworn brother of Long Siye, and it is said that Long Siye's current Xingyunzhuang was given to him by Li Xunhuan. It turns out that Xingyunzhuang is called Li Yuan, it is the house of the Li family, the father and son of this family have all been hand-picked by the emperor's royal pen Tanhualang, and then Li Xunhuan's father and eldest brother have passed away, he also resigned and retired because of the impeachment, and in order to repay the fourth master of the dragon for saving his life, after retiring, he gave the house to the fourth master of the dragon, but he went away to the ice and snow outside the gate......"

When Xiao Er said this, he paused, and continued: "Guest officer, look, this Li Xunhuan, first resigned and went into hiding, and then scattered all his family wealth, changed the name of the ancestral house and sent it out, it stands to reason that he should be a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, how can he be the plum blossom thief who plagues the women of good families everywhere?" ”

In the noisy restaurant, it was originally full of people, and it was extremely difficult to hear what others were saying, even Lin Congrong had to reluctantly lean his ears over to listen carefully, but when the shopkeeper's voice just fell, a young man's cold voice suddenly came from the adjacent table: "Hmph, what is indifferent to the world, Li Xunhuan is just a deceitful and famous thief!" ”
