On the remote path next to the courtyard, Zhang Xiyun walked out of it, even if this place was a relatively remote place in Chishan City, he didn't see anyone after he walked out. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although he wore a human skin mask that night, and now that he has returned to his original appearance, no one should know him, he still chooses to be cautious, and does not want to be too conspicuous in the city, and plans to leave Chishan City first and go outside the city to find someone to ask about what happened in Chishan City in the past three days.

Fortunately, when he visited Chishan City at night, he had roughly visited this city, and knew that this place was not far from the north gate of Chishan City, so he was able to walk to the north gate like a familiar road.

Along the way, he also met a lot of people in Chishan City, but most of them were in a hurry, and their expressions were not relaxed.

Although he had doubts, he still held back and did not inquire about the situation from these passers-by, but when he arrived near the north gate, it was he who really made him frown.

The north gate of Chishan Castle was actually closed, and there were four soldiers guarding in front of the city gate, which seemed to be sent by the city lord's mansion.

"Strange ......," he murmured in his heart, "it is noon, how can you close the gates and send people to guard them?"

"Could it be ......" Zhang Xiyun had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't dare to assert it, and planned to go to the main gate again.

Walking onto the bustling avenue, he quietly released a wisp of divine sense, wanting to listen to the discussion of everyone nearby, presumably the curse will not be relieved by everyone in just three days, someone will inevitably talk about it.

But until he reached the main entrance, no one talked about the curse along the way, and most of it was just neighborhood chatter.

"It's strange...... he thought to himself, "how could it be that no one had spoken of that night......

Sure enough, at this time, he also saw the closed main gate, which was guarded by four soldiers like the north gate.

"Closed City!" he was surprised in his heart, "Chishan City is actually closed......

"What happened in the past three days......

He secretly wondered in his heart, if the Dragon Court knew about the curse of Chishan City, how could it allow the city to be closed, there must be something strange in it!

If Huahong forced him out of the city, he would inevitably attract monks to chase him down, but he didn't expect that he would not be able to leave the city for a while.

"Looks like I need to find someone to find out what has happened in the past three days......"

"Now the Chishan City family should not know my true appearance, but it is safe, if you directly ask for my portrait from the Dragon Court, it is too attention-grabbing, but once the time drags on, I am afraid that the family and the City Lord's Mansion will try their best to get my portrait, I need to act as soon as possible!"

Thinking of this, he immediately turned and left, walking back to the bustling avenue.

"If you want to find out the news, it is naturally best to go to the inn, but the inn where I stayed in the city that day is the most unsafe for me, and I need to find another inn, which can be regarded as finding a place to stay by the way. ”

Chishan City is prosperous, there are many people coming and going, and the natural inn is not difficult to find, and it didn't take long for him to find another good inn.

In the inn, there are many people drinking tea in the lobby, and some people seem to be drinking alcohol, and their faces are difficult to dissolve.

When Zhang Xiyun stepped into the inn, someone walked in before him and passed by him.

He looked up and saw that it was a man, slender but a little sloppy, with gray clothes and a little oil, and long hair that reached to his shoulders, but it was unkempt and a little dirty.

This inn is also one of the best in Chishan City, called the Willow Inn, the guests who drink tea in the inn on weekdays are all well-dressed, and they should not allow unkempt idlers to enter the store.

Unexpectedly, after the man walked into the inn, the shopkeeper not only did not drive him away, but asked him a few words with a smile.

The man seemed to reply a few words, then sent the shopkeeper away, and walked to the side of the guests at the inn, but did not sit down, but talked to them, and the guests at the tables were not impatient at all, but seemed to show a little smile.

Zhang Xiyun was dumbfounded, could it be that the owner of this inn is also a temperamental person, but it is not like the inn where he lived when he first arrived in Chishan City, the store will not only drive away the beggars who are begging outside the inn, but even the little two in the store have a little worse attitude towards some plainly dressed guests.

As soon as he stepped into the inn, the shopkeeper greeted him and asked with a smile: "Objectively sharp or live in the hotel?"

Zhang Xiyun looked around the lobby of the inn and said to the shopkeeper: "Stay in the hotel." ”

The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said, "Okay!"

He glanced at it, and couldn't help laughing, just now the man actually begged the guest in the inn for food, and asked for a plate of peanuts from this table of guests, and from that table of guests for a pot of sake.

At this time, he saw the appearance of this man, although his face was a little dirty, but it was also dignified and a little heroic.

Looking at his behavior again, it is somewhat like the disciple of the Beggar Gang Pure Clothes Sect described in the novel of his previous life.

The shopkeeper ordered the guest room he was going to live in, and came back to him and said, "The guest officer will go upstairs here?"

Zhang Xiyun shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'll sit downstairs for a while, you can serve me some food, and then take a pot of wine." ”

After hearing this, the shopkeeper said hello, then led him to a seat, and chatted again: "The guest officer was not satisfied with the original inn, so he came to my inn again?"

Zhang Xiyun raised his eyebrows lightly and asked, "Why do you say this?"

"Hey, the city was closed three days ago, and the guest must have entered the city before, so it's impossible to sleep on the streets...... shopkeeper replied casually while wiping the table.

"The city was closed three days ago?" Zhang Xiyun said to himself in his heart, and asked again, "Why is this?"

"It's not that night......" The shopkeeper almost blurted out, but he realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly stopped.

Zhang Xiyun was not slow to react, and immediately continued: "What you said is right, I used to live in the inn at the end of the street, but I was not very satisfied, I heard that this place is good, so I found it." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly smiled: "I know, you have chosen the right one this time, in the entire Chishan City, my inn is also one of the best, and it will definitely satisfy the guest officer." ”

Zhang Xiyun nodded and smiled, did not answer again, and was still secretly thinking in his heart, but the man who was eating and drinking moved his ears, as if he heard the conversation between the two, and turned to the shopkeeper and said: "Wen Xiaoer, what you said is a bit big, if it is an inn at the end of the street, it is Jinshan Inn, your home is not as good as his!"

Everyone in the store burst into laughter, and the shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said to the man: "Young Master Wu, you are not allowed to go in to eat and drink at Jinshan Inn, why are you still helping them talk!"

When the man heard this, he sneered and said, "It's okay, I don't say it!"

Someone in the store laughed and said, "Young Master Wu is not wrong in what he said!"

Everyone laughed again, and the shopkeeper smiled helplessly, and said to Zhang Xiyun: "Wait a minute, the little one will go and prepare wine and food for you." ”

He smiled and nodded, and the little two left on their own.

Zhang Xiyun turned his head to look at the man who was called "Young Master Wu", and at this time he was eating with the guests at the next table again, but he didn't pay attention to Zhang Xiyun again.

Zhang Xiyun said in his heart that the guests of this inn seem to be quite familiar with this person, this person's surname is Wu, could it be related to the Wu family in Chishan City?

After a while, the shopkeeper brought up the wine and food, and Zhang Xiyun had not eaten for three days, so he ate immediately, but while eating, he quietly listened to everyone's talk and wanted to find out about the situation.

However, none of the guests in the inn talked about what happened in the city recently, Zhang Xiyun couldn't help frowning, what happened in Chishan City in the past three days?

The dishes on his table were all the signature dishes of the inn, and he was anxious, but he did not taste them carefully, but the sides of his mouth were stained with oil, and when the man looked at him, he almost drooled with hunger, and swallowed his saliva.

Zhang Xiyun didn't pay attention, and was still thinking about whether he should take the initiative to ask, otherwise according to the current situation, if he wanted to know something, it would be wishful thinking.

Can...... How do you ask this?

While he was worrying about himself, someone at the table next to him suddenly said, "Alas, I don't know when this city gate will be opened?"

"Didn't the city lord say that the city gate would be opened after only closing the city for more than 20 days, so why should Brother Li bother?"

The man shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Brother Sun, you don't know, a few days ago, I was negotiating a deal with a shop in the north city of Imperial Capital City, and it was supposed to be negotiated, but now it seems that this business is probably going to be yellow......"

The people at his table also sighed when they put down their wine glasses when they heard this.

And the man seemed to be full of complaints, and blurted out: "It's all to blame on that damn ......"

Zhang Xiyun's heart moved, and he was busy listening carefully, but he heard that the man's companion interrupted him, and hurriedly said: "Brother Li, it's not good to talk nonsense outside!"

The man also hurriedly closed his mouth, looking secretive, and hurriedly said, "Thanks to Brother Sun for reminding ......"

Zhang Xiyun on the side was secretly annoyed, and finally heard the talk about what happened in the past three days, why did he suddenly stop, and looking at the person's secretive appearance, could it be that the City Lord's Mansion and the family were strictly forbidden to talk about this matter?

At this time, it was the perfect time to ask at the exit, Zhang Xiyun only hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind, turned his head, and asked the two people at the next table: "You two, you entered the city three days ago, and you just stayed for a day, but you don't want to sleep and wake up, why did you close the city, and you are very distressed in your heart, I don't know what happened in this city?"

When the two people at the side table heard this, a trace of panic flashed in their eyes, and they were about to leave, how could Zhang Xiyun let them leave, stretched out his hand to grab the person surnamed Li, and said busily: "Don't hurry to leave, I am also confused now, I just want to ask one or two, and I have no other intentions." ”

The merchant surnamed Li, who was grabbed by his wrist, was a little anxious, and said: "Didn't the city lord say that there is an epidemic in the city, and the city is closed to prevent the spread of the epidemic, and when the epidemic is cured, the city will be opened, what else do you want to ask?"

Zhang Xiyun was stunned in his heart, and when he thought about it, he knew that this was just an excuse, I am afraid that it was a statement to the people who passed by here but were trapped in the city, and ordered people to keep the people here silent.

No wonder no one in the city talked about this matter, how could the people who had not lived here for a long time know what was going on, and the closure of the city could not be done without the permission of the Dragon Court, the families in Chishan City were really good means, I am afraid that on the second day after that night, before noon, they had already used thunderous means to suppress the curse!

He couldn't help but feel frustrated in his heart, in this way, the Dragon Court officials he wanted to wait for were probably not able to wait.

Zhang Xiyun wanted to ask again, but the merchant surnamed Li had already taken advantage of his stunned moment, broke free from his hand, dropped the silver taels, and left in a hurry with his companions.

At this time, the guests at several tables in the inn stopped talking, and all looked at him, obviously hearing Fang Cai's conversation.

Zhang Xiyun was also speechless for a while, thinking about how to explain, but he heard the man surnamed Wu clapping his hands lightly and said, "Okay, okay, you don't have to be like this, just eat and drink separately." ”

When everyone heard his words, they retracted their gazes, but the atmosphere was a little dull for a while, and after a while, they said goodbye to the man surnamed Wu and left one after another.

However, the little two were not here before, and when they saw that all the guests had left suddenly, they couldn't help but be confused.

But the man surnamed Wu came to Zhang Xiyun's table, sat opposite him, picked up the cooked meat he hadn't eaten yet, and put it in his mouth.

Zhang Xiyun was puzzled, who was this person, and he helped him out of the siege in a few words before.

"Brother Tai......" He was about to speak, but he was interrupted, and he was even more stunned when he heard the words.

"You want to know what's going on in Ikeyama Castle?"

He asked Zhang Xiyun, his expression didn't seem to care, and he just ate the remaining cooked meat on the plate in three clicks and two clicks.

Zhang Xiyun hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, you ...... Ken and the next one?"

"I relieved you before, and you gave me half a plate of cooked meat to eat, isn't it too much?" he licked his fingers, looking unsatisfied.

Zhang Xiyun nodded and said, "It should be so, if Brother Tai is not full, I can invite Brother Tai to have another good meal." ”

At the end, he continued: "In Xia Li Kai, how do you call Brother Tai?"

"You can call me Wu Yu. ”

"Wu Delirium, Wu Delusion?" Zhang Xiyun said in his heart, this name has a bit of meaning.

Wu Yu continued: "What you just said is true?"

Zhang Xiyun was stunned for a moment, only then did he think that he was asking about inviting him to dinner, and then smiled: "It's true." ”

Wu Yu was already drooling greedily, and said, "Do you want to stay in the hotel?" Then order another pound of cooked meat, a plate of peanuts, a steamed fish, and a pot of old wine, and take them to your house. ”

Zhang Xiyun couldn't help but smack his tongue when he heard this, Wu Yu had eaten a lot before, and now he still wanted to eat so much wine and food, how long had he been hungry?

Wu Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Xiyun hurriedly said: "It's not true, it's just that Brother Wu, you can eat so much, it really opens my eyes." ”

Wu Yu pursed his lips and muttered, "That's the taste of you suddenly becoming destitute after you haven't tried brocade clothes and jade food......

He continued: "I will not eat you for nothing, you invite me to eat, I will tell you what you want to know." ”

Zhang Xiyun's eyes flashed with joy, and he asked, "Brother Wu really knows?"

"Will I still lie to you?" Wu Yu said unhappily, "I am a dignified Wu family ......"

Before he finished speaking, a trace of loneliness suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he didn't say anything more, and then said again: "Do you believe it or not?" ”

finally had the opportunity to know the facts, how could Zhang Xiyun let it go, and he didn't care about thinking about what Wu Yu had not finished saying before, and hurriedly called the shopkeeper to prepare wine and food. (To be continued.) )
