Chapter 164: The New Head (3)
A horse-drawn carriage drove quickly into the territory of Jingqiu from a distance.
"I didn't expect to arrive at Jingqiu so soon." Zhu Miaomiao lifted the curtain on the carriage and said.
"yes." Lin Chuyi muttered as he looked at the scenery that kept drifting outside the carriage.
Half a month ago, Master Changbai received an invitation to compete in the Hou Wangfu, because it was about the spiritual object Qiyun Knife, when he informed everyone, he thought that everyone would lose interest in finding the whereabouts of the follow-up spiritual object because of Xu Huange's incident, but unexpectedly, several people wanted to come with Master Changbai.
What I didn't expect was that Lin Chuyi would also follow. Since this month, Lin Chuyi's mood has gradually returned to normal, no longer hiding in the room and crying, the whole person is in a stable state, but it seems that it is a little too stable.
It seems that the personalities have changed. It looks much quieter than before, and I like to sit quietly in front of the window alone.
Maybe there are still things on your mind, and it will take some time to recover. Therefore, taking this opportunity, Master Changbai brought everyone out, on the one hand, to distract their minds, and on the other hand, they did come for the Qiyun Knife, because it was the next spiritual object to be found.
What Master Changbai didn't know was that in everyone's hearts, there had always been a thought, including Lin Chuyi.
Does the appearance of the Qiyun Knife mean that if Xu Huange is alive, he will definitely come back for this.
It can be said that this is an opportunity.
"Senior sister, are you tired?" Liu Qingquan asked softly beside him.
"Nope." Lin Chuyi smiled and shook his head.
In the days when Xu Huange was away, Liu Qingquan seemed to have slowly approached her heart, in addition to taking care of her, more of a companionship.
Lin Chuyi likes to sit quietly by the window and read books recently, and Liu Qingquan doesn't bother, and sits silently reading books, and the picture looks very ...... Harmonious.
Sometimes Ye Mujin looks at it from a distance, and even thinks that the two look quite compatible.
Liu Qingquan has a gentle personality, and he completely lets Lin Chuyi in everything, and Lin Chuyi has a strong and domineering personality, and he has to fight for priority in everything, so it seems that the two personalities are indeed very complementary.
And since the last time Yunshan Huaquan, Lin Chuyi seemed to have really made up her mind, and never mentioned Xu Huange again, just like Lin Chuyi promised Liu Qingquan, during this time, she seemed to have really forgotten him.
Lin Chuyi didn't mention it anymore, no one wanted to say more than half a word in front of her, and Xu Huange completely disappeared from everyone's mouth.
But whether he really forgot it or not, I'm afraid only Lin Chuyi himself knows.
After entering the Jingqiu area, the carriage gradually slowed down.
"Look, how can there be so many people on the street?" Zhu Miaomiao looked at the people coming and going on the street, which was very lively.
"This competition held by the Hou Wangfu is open to all regions and sects, and there will be many outsiders like us during this time." Ye Mu Sumire explained.
"It seems that they are all coming for the Qiyun Knife."
"It's also strange to say, why is this cloud knife in the Hou Wang's Mansion? I have always heard that the Cloud Knife is a spiritual weapon of the Xuanmo Sect, but now it is not only in the Hou Wang's Mansion, but also used as a gimmick to call on the sects of various domains to come to compete in martial arts, if I am an elder of the Xuanmo Sect, I can't bear it. Ye Mu Jin muttered.
"It is rumored that the Xuanmo faction has been doing things for the Hou Wangfu all these years, and there are not a few cases of collusion between the sect and the imperial court, which is not surprising." Liu Qingquan explained.
With a "boom", the carriage shook forward and quickly stopped, and several people in the carriage almost fell out.
"Everyone's alright, right?"
"It's fine."
"Master, what's going on?" Sumire asked.
The master replied in front: "I'm really sorry for you, a group of people are coming in front, and our carriage has to be avoided." ”
Is there some dignitary here?
Ye Mujin opened a curtain of carriage and stretched out his head to see, it was indeed a group of people wearing white and purple brocade clothes riding horses, their team was neat and orderly, the first two disciples were leading with pennants in front, and the crowd avoided everywhere they went, and a delicate carriage slowly drove between them, which looked very grand on the whole.
But looking at their clothes, they don't look like people from the court, but more like people from some sect.
But which sect likes to make such an exaggerated move? Like Master Changbai, who came with two disciples, Liu Qingquan and Lin Chuyi, he was also very low-key along the way, and this sect brought a group of disciples, not to mention, but also made such a big show, sure enough, Lin Zi is big and there are all sects.
It is conceivable that their head must be a face-lover person, otherwise how could they have done so many bells and whistles.
"Huh." Ye Mu Jin smiled contemptuously, shook his head, and lowered the curtain.
"What's wrong?" Liu Qingquan asked.
"I don't know which sect it is, it's quite good at bluffing."
Master Changbai opened the curtain with his hand, raised his eyes, and said, "It's the Xuanmo faction." ”
"They are the members of the Xuanmo sect! Oh, it's really a lackey of the imperial court, and he learns it well, I think their head must be a person who is greedy for wealth and wealth, Master Changbai, do you know their head? ”
Master Changbai stroked his beard and said, "I had several encounters with their former head Ye Lanyuan, but unfortunately Ye Lanyuan was killed by his disciple eight years ago, and now the Xuanmo Sect has heard that it is controlled by his junior brother Si Yuan, and I have never met him. ”
Ye Mu Jin nodded, and said in his heart, the disputes between various factions are also one after another.
"Ladies and gentlemen, ahead is Baiwei Yipinju."
"Okay master, let's stop over there, it's really hard to travel a long way, let's get down and have a full meal before we go on the road!"
Several people got off the carriage one after another, and before they even walked in, they smelled a fresh fragrance, which was almost unstoppable.
"This Baiwei Yipinju is worthy of being a famous restaurant in Jingqiu, we have a mouthful, you see so many people can't be wrong!" Ye Mu Jin exclaimed.
I saw a small guy greet him with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry, the table inside is full, I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a while." ”
"Still waiting?" Ye Mu Jin raised her eyes and looked inside, and sure enough, every table was full, full of people, and it was lively.
"When will it be our turn?"
Ye Mujin took out a gold leaf from his pocket and stuffed it into the little girl's hand and said with a smile: "Little brother is also hard, we came from other places, and the boat and car are really tired, can you give us accommodation?" ”
Unexpectedly, the little guy returned the gold leaf in his hand to Ye Mujin.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry, the business of the small shop has been booming these days, and you just have the right time." The little guy explained with a smile.
It seems that it is not possible to give money.
"What then?"
"These few days coincide with the gathering of various regions and factions, and there must be more people than before." Explained to Qingquan.
"Alas, it seems that we still don't have a mouthful......" Zhu Miaomiao shook her head.
"Why don't we change it, I don't know how long it will take." Lin Chuyi suggested.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you might as well go to our living room to listen to a storyteller first, and I promise you that when the story is finished, it will be up to you."
"Storytelling?" Ye Mujin blinked, "You can still listen to stories in this big restaurant?" ”
"Isn't it, this is also a stage that has only recently been built, to relieve the boredom of the waiting guests, and to send drinks."
"And such a good thing?" Ye Mujin couldn't help but sigh, it is worthy of being a famous restaurant in Jingqiu, and the owner is very business-minded, which not only retains customers, but also adds popularity to the restaurant, killing two birds with one stone.
"Shall we go inside, then?" Ye Mu Jin looked at everyone.
"It's okay to see, we happen to be here early." Master Changbai stroked his beard and smiled.
"Then guest officers, please come inside!"
The little guy took everyone around to the innermost end of the restaurant, and there was really a storyteller sitting on a big stage, only to see everyone sitting below, while drinking tea, while listening to the storyteller's story, during which bursts of applause broke out from time to time, which was very lively.
"Ladies and gentlemen, sit here, you have a good view here, and you can hear clearly." The little guy wiped the table diligently.
Ye Mu Jin sat down and looked around, there were really a lot of people waiting, everyone listened with relish, and seemed to have forgotten that they were here to eat instead of listening to books.
Looking at everyone's excitement, even if you don't line up today, you will come to listen to this story tomorrow.
Ye Mu Jin couldn't help but sigh again: "This is the method that your boss came up with?" It's really smart. ”
"Hehe, no, it's a suggestion made by a friend of our young master, and it happened to be heard by our boss and immediately adopted it."
"Huh? Your young master's friend? ”
"Yes, I happened to be there that day, you also saw it, we Baiwei Yipinju daily guests are endless, a few guests were impatient to wait that day, in front of the trouble, happened to be seen by our young master and the friends he brought, and then one of his friends suggested to our boss that a stage can be built in the center of the restaurant to tell the story, not only to soothe the mood of the guests, but also to make effective use of the venue, but also to say that the loss of guests does not lose their hearts, alas, I don't understand, it should be very reasonable, Otherwise, our boss wouldn't have done what he said right away, and sure enough, it seems that it is still very useful now. ”
"Don't you lose your heart when you lose a guest?" Ye Mu Jin couldn't help but mutter, this sounded familiar.
"Your business is so good, your young master won't have to worry about inheriting this restaurant in the future." Zhu Miaomiao sighed.
"Alas, our young master won't inherit this restaurant." The little guy shook his head.
"Why?"
"Alas! His heart is not here, he has loved martial arts since he was a child, and the boss sent him to the Xuanmo faction to practice martial arts. ”
"So, he's a disciple of the Xuanmo Sect now?"
"yes!"
Sure enough, everyone has their own ambitions, and they should not be forced in everything.
"Sit down first, and I'll bring you tea."
After the little guy left, everyone pricked up their ears and listened to a paragraph intermittently, as if they were telling a wonderful character story, and the storyteller told the fight scene vividly, and asked and answered with the guests below, so it was not lively.
"Guest officer, this is the special pure fragrant tea of the small shop, everyone try it." The little maid brought a pot of tea and poured a cup for everyone.
"Alas, I said little brother, what kind of story is this talking about? I just listened to a paragraph that was quite interesting. Ye Mu Jin asked after taking a sip of tea.
"Hey, you may not know if you're from out of town, but it's the story of the new head of the Xuanmo faction."
