Chapter 16: Piaoxiang Building

Piaoxiang Building, the largest restaurant in Ruliu Town, is located on the easternmost street.

The five-storey building is carved with cornices and corners, and is connected to the nearby pavilion houses, overlooking the town. All the scenery here can be seen from the Piaoxiang Tower, so this is the best place for acquaintances and tourists in the town to climb up and drink and talk.

On the first and second floors, the hall was full of people. At some of the wine tables, many people were talking about the morning on the streets.

"Have you heard? Just now, a young man in Fang Market injured the guards in Mayor Gao's mansion. ”

"Oh, is this true or false? Who is so bold that he doesn't even sell the face of Gaofu?"

"I don't know, anyway, that person looks quite young, he just clashed with the guards of Gaofu in order to save people. ”

"Do you know where that young man came from?"

......

On the third and fourth floors, there are relatively few people, but most of the people here are armed with swords and are very imposing, and they all look like gang members.

"I heard that Chen Jian of the Male Tiger Gang was seriously injured yesterday, have you ever known about this?"

A man with a long knife on the table in front of him drank a glass of wine and asked several people dressed in the same clothes at the same table.

"Really, where did the news come from? exactly?"

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but immediately turn to the man, and they all seemed to be a little curious about this matter.

"This is true, it was said by the disciples of the Male Tiger Gang, and it should be spread throughout Ruliu Town by now. ”

"This Chen Jian is the hall master of the third branch of the Tiger Gang, it seems that there was no him in the battle for turf yesterday, right? Who was he injured by?"

"It is said that he was injured by a young man in the medical hall, standing up for his subordinates. ”

"Yo, what young man is so powerful that even the hall master of the Tiger Gang can clean it up?"

"As far as I know, there are only two people in this medical hall, Yan Lao and his granddaughter, and there are no other disciples, right?"

"Yes, even if there is a disciple, he is studying medicine. In terms of force, I'm afraid I can't beat Chen Jian, right?"

......

These men with swords spoke out one after another and participated in the discussion of the injury of Chen Jian of the Tiger Gang.

At this moment, the young man in their mouth was slowly taking Yan Xuerou upstairs. The two of them each held a long sword in their hands, looking heroic.

The sword in Yan Xuerou's hand was the top-grade sword that Yi Guanming bought for 10,000 taels of silver, the Ning Bi Sword. And the sword in his own hand is a high-grade famous sword, Aoyagi Sword.

This Qingliu sword Yi Guanming was originally going to pay another silver, but the middle-aged shopkeeper was very interested and did not accept it, but took the initiative to give him the sword. Although this top-grade sword is still relatively precious, worth six hundred taels of silver, but compared to the Ning Bi sword, it is simply a small thing, and it is not worth mentioning at all.

As soon as the two appeared, they attracted the attention of all the guests who came and went, casting stunning and envious eyes. Amazing is, of course, because of Yan Xuerou's stunning beauty, and envy is that Yi Guanming is accompanied by Yan Xuerou.

Under the guidance of the shopkeeper, the two found an empty table near the window on the fourth floor and sat down. The location is very good, with a great view and a clear view of the people on the street.

"Brother Ling Chen, what are we doing here?"

Yan Xuerou glanced around the entire Piaoxiang Building and said with some doubts.

Yi Guanming smiled and said, "Xiao Nizi, what is the business in this Piaoxiang Building?"

Yan Xuerou immediately replied: "Drink and eat!"

"We're here to drink and eat, and I'm going to treat you to a big meal. ”

Yi Guanming looked at Yan Xuerou with a doting look on his face, and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yan Xuerou was more surprised and said, "Ah, this place is very expensive!"

"Haha, silly girl, your eldest brother Ling Chen bought such a precious sword and gave it to you, will you still be short of this meal?"

Yi Guanming smiled heartily and said disapprerovitically.

Yan Xuerou felt that it was inappropriate, so she said slowly: "But I think it's ......."

It's just that before she finished speaking, Yi Guanming interrupted her directly domineeringly, with a smile on his face: "No need, let me treat you to a meal today." Don't forget, you saved my life, you have to give me a chance to thank you!"

Hearing this, Yan Xuerou said indifferently: "This is just what I should do as a doctor, Brother Ling Chen, you don't have to thank me!"

Yi Guanming looked at Yan Xuerou's eyes with infinite tenderness, and said very seriously: "Xiao Nizi, I know that you don't expect to repay your kindness, but I really want to thank you, thank you for giving me another new life, you just accept my heart!"

Yan Xuerou was very useful to say this, and she smiled and said, "Okay, since you say so, then I will eat this meal, and I will give you a chance to be courteous." ”

Yi Guanming couldn't help but smile and said loudly to Yan Xuerou: "Haha, that's right, I must let my sister Xuerou eat well today, and I can't come for nothing." ”

Then, he instructed the shopkeeper: "Little Er, give me all the best dishes you have here!"

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute, the food will be coming soon. ”

The shopkeeper left happily, because he could get some reward money from the consumption of this meal.

In the process of chatting between the two for a while, the shopkeeper served the dishes one after another. It didn't take long for the entire table to be filled with the best freshly baked dishes from the chefs of Piaoxianglou.

And during this time, there were more and more people on the fourth floor, and eventually the guests were full, occupying all the tables.

"Brother Ling Chen, your swordsmanship is so powerful, what are you going to teach me?"

Yan Xuerou looked at Yi Guanming with a glittering gaze and asked curiously.

Yi Guanming smiled and said, "I tested your cultivation qualifications yesterday, and with your talent, you are suitable for cultivating the Suxin Wentian Sword Record." This is a very powerful cultivation method that I have collected in the past, and I will teach it to you when I go back. There are a lot of people here, so I won't reveal it for the time being. ”

"Thank you, Brother Ling Chen. If I learn this exercise, then I can go to Hong Zhengu and avenge my father?"

Yan Xuerou nodded in thanks, then her face became a little heavy, and she said in a low tone.

Seeing her like this, Yi Guanming felt very sorry for her, so he comforted: "Xue Rou, don't worry, we will definitely avenge this revenge." But don't be in a hurry, we have to take it one step at a time. What's more, Uncle Yan doesn't want you to get involved in this right and wrong again, so as not to have any accidents. So I'll help you with this, you just need to cultivate with peace of mind. ”

Yan Xuerou was moved in her heart, and couldn't help but burst into tears and said: "Thank you, Brother Ling Chen! Don't worry, I won't come nonsense, just arrange it, I will listen to you everything." ”

"We don't have to be so polite! Besides, in order to save me, you spent almost all the collection of the Medical Hall, and I did this for you, which is really deserved, and it is not worth mentioning at all. ”

Yi Guanming smiled sincerely, as bright as a star, and then sandwiched a piece of crispy roasted tenderloin in Yan Xuerou's bowl, and urged: "Come on, don't talk about it yet, hurry up and try the dishes here while it's hot, and see if it suits your appetite?"

Yan Xuerou nodded slightly, and also sandwiched a piece of braised pork into Yi Guanming's bowl, and said tenderly: "Well, Brother Ling Chen, then you can taste it too!"

Immediately, the two looked at each other's faces, looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

At this moment, a man and a woman walked from the fourth floor. Both of them are young people, dressed in green shirts, holding long swords, and have a good temperament.

"I'm sorry, two guest officers, you see that the seats on the fourth floor are already full, why don't you go downstairs and wait first?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him with a smile.

"Isn't there only two people sitting at that table? There are also two seats, why don't you talk to them? Let's squeeze in, we'll have this meal!"

The young man was dignified, with a sturdy figure, a smile on the corner of his mouth, pointed to Yi Guanming's table, and said in a tone that made people feel like a spring breeze.

"Yes, we have important things to do later, we have to leave after eating, we can't wait any longer, it's troublesome!"

The young woman was good-looking, with a slender figure, skin like snow, and although her voice was a little impatient, she still maintained her politeness.

"Well, then I'll try!, but there's no guarantee that the guest will agree, and I don't think he's a money-strapped man. ”

Seeing this situation, although the shopkeeper didn't want to disturb Yi Guanming and Yan Xuerou, he had no choice but to stiffen his head. He didn't want to offend these gangsters.

The young man smiled and said, "You go talk first, and we'll make plans!"

"Okay, wait a minute, the two guest officers. ”

The shopkeeper responded politely, and then walked to Yi Guanming's table.

"Two distinguished guest officers, sorry to disturb me. That's right, because the small shop is full, and there are no tables now, and those two guest officers want me to borrow a place from the two of them, and they are willing to pay all the costs of this table of food, do you think it can be convenient?"

Shopkeeper looked at Yi Guanming and Yan Xuerou and asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Yi Guanming's face was slightly unhappy, and he said lightly: "To be honest, it's not very convenient, today I want to invite my sister to dinner alone, I don't want to be disturbed, please forgive me, please help me say sorry to them." In addition, things like this should not bother us again in the future. ”

"Okay, I'm sorry, then you can use it slowly. ”

The shopkeeper had already guessed this result, said respectfully, and then walked up to the young man and woman and told the two of them the result.

The two seemed to be dissatisfied with this result, and were about to leave when they were about to communicate with Yi Guanming in person, when an arrogant young man in Chinese clothes strode upstairs, followed by four retinues with blades, and appeared on the fourth floor.

The arrogant young man glanced at the floor full of seats, frowned slightly, and said in annoyance: "Xiao Er, what's the matter? Why are there so many people on the fourth floor today, hurry up and make a table for my son!"

Zhang Yang, why did your little ancestor come here today?

Seeing this person appear, the shopkeeper hurriedly ran to the arrogant young man and said politely: "Zhang Gongzi, I'm sorry, now that the people are full, there is really no land!

Zhang Yang completely ignored the words of the shopkeeper, and said with an arrogant and rude face: "What are you doing downstairs, my son is going upstairs, hurry up and make room for me!"

The shopkeeper pointed to the full house on the fourth floor, and said with a bitter face: "Zhang Gongzi, there is really no place, don't believe it, you can see for yourself!"

Following the words of the shopkeeper, Zhang Yang raised his eyes and looked around the entire building, and then his eyes couldn't help but fall on Yan Xuerou beside Yi Guanming, and he was immediately attracted by her beautiful face.

"Heh, isn't there a place for that?"

Then, the corners of Zhang Yang's mouth lifted an arc of a smile, and a bit of greed appeared in his eyes when he looked at Yan Xuerou. Immediately, he waved his hand to the four attendants behind him and walked over Yan Xuerou's table.
