There is a large residential area in the east of Yingdu, which is divided into pieces by several criss-crossing streets, and you can smell all kinds of smells from half a mile away, such as the smell of smoked yellow croaker, the burnt smell of dough, the fishy smell of slaughtering cattle and sheep, and the inferior koji wine, which has a special sour taste.

At the end of the alley, there is a morning market, bustling with people, shops selling all kinds of food and daily necessities, and vendors are everywhere.

Under the cold autumn light, on the huge soup pot in front of the beef shop, the heat rose, and Xu Feng sighed: "This is life in the world." ”

"It's a bit like Cangtou Town. Wang Cuihua said happily.

Li Ke snorted: "The taste of poverty." ”

Li Ke was quite disdainful, and didn't understand what Xu Feng was feeling about the ordinary market, in his eyes, the high-ranking families on the side of Suzaku Lane were worthy of admiration.

"Renting here, it should be cheap. Jiang Liao told the truth.

There are many houses with high houses and big tiles, and more are dilapidated old houses, with rotten rafters and low gatehouses, pasted with old felt. From the outside, it was impossible to believe that there were still people living in such a dilapidated courtyard, but when you approached, you could hear the sound of pots and pans clanging.

People should live enthusiastically, Xu Feng thought.

Li Ke is humble and flattering on the surface, and he is also a child of an official family in his bones, and his father Li Gang is the Lizheng of Li Jiazhuang, although he is the lowest level of grassroots officials who are not in the product, he can also be regarded as eating official meals.

As one of the evil young people in Li Jiazhuang, let go of loan sharks, and was a registered disciple of the Burning Star Building, Li Ke has high ambitions, and he came to Yingdu to get ahead, just to be an official and make a fortune, and he really can't look down on these dilapidated streets and alleys, especially after comparing them with the magnificent and neat Vermilion Bird Lane.

Xu Feng pointed to the shirtless man in the market, busy killing pigs and burning pig hair next to the cauldron, and said: "It's okay to live here, you find a job like this, with wages, we can survive these more than 20 days." ”

Li Ke put his hands on his sleeves and gritted his teeth to comfort himself, the God of Wealth was also poor and sour before he made his career.

The disciples of the various sects who participated in the Tsing Yi test have already crowded the inns near Dongcheng Courtyard, and the merchants of Yingdu have been as happy as marrying a second room in the past few days, seizing this golden opportunity to increase the house price with their lives, and they see that this generous cultivation sect does not care about this bit of silver.

Xianjian Gate, Lingxu Pavilion such a prominent sect, is directly in the Qinglong Alley, the whole set of rented spacious compounds, for the elders and disciples who participated in the Tsing Yi test to rest, and even opened up a temporary practice dojo, the disciples who participated in the Tsing Yi test Taixu Palace competition, day and night non-stop practice, flying swords, Taoism in the east of the city in the mountain stream and grass you come and go, so lively.

Xu Feng and Jiang Liao were very self-conscious, knowing that they didn't have that kind of good life, so they came to this street and alley that was not too far from Dongcheng Courtyard.

"Naturally it was to rent three rooms. Xu Feng said: "Jiang Liao and Miss Wang are one, I am one, and you are alone." ”

Li Ke didn't seem to find the irony of "you are alone", and with a serious and thoughtful look on his face, he said: "It's better to rent a yard together, so that my sister-in-law can cook meals for four people at a time and save some money." ”

"No, you two don't have to do it, you can eat ready-made. Jiang Liao said.

Li Ke was slightly stunned, this guy doesn't have to speak so directly.

"Renting a courtyard costs five hundred taels of silver, you are a prince and minister, rich and powerful, or a famous prostitute in Jiangnan, both moral and artistic. Xu Feng smiled at Li Ke.

"Then as you say, three houses. Li Ke compromised, and the housing problem was so happily decided.

Jiang Liao and Wang Cuihua have long been husband and wife, and it is okay to live together, they picked up a room facing north and facing the sun, Li Ke picked a room close to the courtyard door, and Xu Feng lived in the innermost corner.

Tsing Yi is about to try, Xu Feng is bent on breaking the realm at this time, whether it is the black sword or the green dragon, it is his secret, find a relatively hidden place, and make any movements to cover up.

Since entering Yingdu, Li Ke seems to have changed people, no longer claiming that Xu Feng is the boss, always frowning, with a heavy mind, after renting the house, the door is closed, and I don't know what is planned in the house.

The landlord was a hunched old man, who lived in the largest hall in size, gave a few words, gave the key, collected the rent, set up a birdcage and went out.

The courtyard is very large, the south-facing gatehouse is the way out, and there are more than a dozen tenants on the other three sides, everyone is busy with their own work, and the arrival of Xu Feng and a few people did not attract much attention.

This kind of remote compound in Yingdu is similar to an inn, with accommodation supplies and all kinds of cooking utensils in the room, but the tenants need to figure out how to do it themselves for three meals a day. Some go to the street to eat, and some make their own food in order to save money.

When Xu Feng came to the door, Wang Cuihua had already prepared the ingredients and was burning the fire, there was a half-foot-long fresh fish hanging on the side of the bamboo curtain at the door, and in the iron pot on the stove, the oil splashed everywhere, ginger, onions, garlic and other ingredients crackled in the hot oil, and the fragrance wafted in half of the yard.

Xu Feng swallowed a mouthful of spit, lifted the bamboo curtain and entered the house, sighing in his heart that Jiang Liao's life was good.

"I'll go with you again tomorrow. Xu Feng said.

"There's no need. Jiang Liao said: "This landlord is an old man who understands the sophistication of Yingdu, I have specially consulted, I can't get letters from officials above the third grade in the court, and I can't enter the Taishi Mansion at all, even if I get the letter and enter the mansion, I may not see the Taishi himself." ”

"The disciples who participated in the Zhongyi Hall competition are not all cultivators, with your cultivation, it shouldn't be difficult to be selected into the Zhongyi Hall, but Yang Biao let out his words, and if you really want to make a hindrance from it, it's hard to say. ”

There was already the smell of fried fish in the room, and Xu Feng hadn't finished speaking: "After all, there are still twenty-five days before the Tsing Yi test, plus the efficiency of the government, the Yang family may not necessarily order this matter, or Yang Biao will do it first." ”

The grass carp's back was already yellowish, but it was still not dead, and it jumped violently in the iron pot and was held down by Wang Cuihua with a shovel.

"There is a formation in the Taishi Mansion, it is difficult to ensure that there is also a formation in the Taiwei Mansion, with the cultivation of the two of us, the formation is not broken, I am afraid that we will be captured alive, not to mention that we still have the jade talisman planted by the Zhuxian Great Array to track. ”

Xu Feng nodded and praised, the stove was sizzling, the green smoke was slightly drunk, and the fish was almost fried.

"We're afraid we won't be able to break the Zhuxian Array, it's better to try that woman in Tianhuoyu, since you want to win us over, it's better to give her a chance, anyway, it's all a twist to welcome, and there is a distinction between halal and fake. ”

Jiang Liao was stunned, and found that Xu Feng didn't seem to be quite right, as soon as he entered the door, he said that he wanted to kill Yang Biao, and finally he was asked to find that woman, this is not the Xu Feng he knows. After entering Yingdu, Li Ke has changed, has Xu Feng also changed?

As soon as the door curtain was lifted, Wang Cuihua came with the fried grass carp, the slightly yellow and tender fried fish was served on the plate, sprinkled with a few green onion leaves, and two sprigs of coriander, which was extremely attractive.

Jiang Liao noticed that Xu Feng's eyes were like growing on a plate, following from the door to the table in front of him.

"Xu Feng, you are too unkind, if you want to eat fish, just say that you are here to eat fish, don't talk to me about gourds and horses, and laugh at my brother's difficulties!"
