As soon as the Xingzhou crossed the sea, Hua Yueying responded to Jiang Xiaohe's request and put him in Lixiang Prefecture.

Lixiang Prefecture is across the sea from Mengzhou in the Thirty-six Prefectures, and most monks from the Thirty-six Prefectures will choose this place to settle down when they enter the Forty-Eight Prefectures.

Walking on the noisy and lively street, Jiang Xiaohe couldn't help but take a deep breath, the Yuan Force of the forty-eight states was slightly stronger than that of the thirty-six states.

Lixiang Prefecture is very large, several spacious streets are lined up side by side, the alleys in each street are not endless, and the small buildings are hidden in the green trees.

Whether it is in the depths of the alley or on the street, it is clean and neat, and even the vendors who set up stalls on both sides of the street have a fixed position.

The dizzying shops and the dazzling array of goods almost dazzled Jiang Xiaohe.

The people here, whether lay or monks, everyone has a gentle smile on their face and seems to be carefree.

Not surprisingly, Jiang Xiaohe saw the words "Yuefu Restaurant" again in the middle of the most prosperous street.

However, the Yuefu Restaurant in Lixiang Prefecture is more magnificent and spacious than any one I have seen in the 36 Prefectures, and it is still a chubby shopkeeper standing behind the counter with a smile and greeting every customer.

"An upper room. ”

Jiang Xiaohe took out five yuan stones and put them on the counter, the smile on the fat shopkeeper's face was even worse, he put down the pen in his hand and raised his head:

"You're from somewhere else, right?"

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Xiaohe glanced at himself a little, looked at others again, and found that he was not much different from them.

"An upper room, ten yuan stone for one night, wine and food are counted. ”

The smile on the fat shopkeeper's face did not change in the slightest, but Jiang Xiaohe couldn't help frowning:

I don't know who opened this Yuefu Restaurant, but it's really dark enough, ordinary people stay for ten yuan stone a night, then they can get one hundred yuan stone a night according to ten times.

It's not that he can't take out the money, but he simply thinks it's expensive.

He took out a small storage bag from the Diwei Tower, which contained a thousand yuan stones, and handed it to the fat shopkeeper:

"I stay in other places at ten times the price of the average person. ”

As soon as Jiang Xiaohe's words came out, the smile on the fat shopkeeper's face faded slightly, and there was a little more respect between his eyebrows:

"Forgive me, the old man is clumsy, there is an independent yard behind, please visit!"

As the fat shopkeeper spoke, he led Jiang Xiaohe to the backyard to choose a yard.

At this time, two young men suddenly came down from the stairs on the second floor, and the first one looked at Jiang Xiaohe's back, and his face suddenly became gloomy as water.

"Jiang Xiaohe, I didn't expect to meet you here!"

He muttered to himself, and walked to the first floor with a warm smile on his face.

Jiang Xiaohe chose a courtyard near the door, and when he entered the backyard, he found that half of the small buildings behind the shops he saw on the street were the property of Yuefu Restaurant.

"At the beginning, our big shopkeeper bought this piece and built independent small buildings for distinguished guests to live in, and later some shopkeepers in the surrounding shops also built other ones according to these small buildings. ”

The fat shopkeeper did not neglect Jiang Xiaohe's eyes at all, on the contrary, he was more dedicated to solving every question for Jiang Xiaohe.

Jiang Xiaohe couldn't help but think of Shen Jie in his heart, Wanbaolou and this Yuefu Restaurant are the same trench, and the trench is inhumane.

"In order to protect the safety of your guests, there is a ban on this small building, this is a jade slip in and out of this small building, no matter when, no matter who, you can come in with a jade slip. ”

The fat shopkeeper handed a palm-sized piece of jade to Jiang Xiaohe and went down.

Jiang Xiaohe looked at the small building, and once again felt in his heart that this Yuefu Restaurant was simply boundless.

In the evening, he came out of the room to the lobby on the first floor, found a table in the corner and sat down as usual, asked for a pot of good wine, and listened to the conversation of everyone in the hall with two side dishes.

Jiang Xiaohe's habit was developed when he was working on Shuangqiao in Jiangcheng County, and he could connect a lot of fragmented and seemingly unrelated information he heard, so as to find the information he wanted.

"A few days ago, I saw Yang Gongzi appear in Tianxiangju, do you think it's strange?"

A 3-year-old man dressed in gray put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said in a low voice to his companion at the table:

"It is said that after Wan Bao Shang left, he had only one breath left when he returned from the Thirty-six Prefectures. ”

"What's so strange about that, the Yang family has also taken root in Lixiang Prefecture for hundreds of years, and there are still good things in their hands that come back to life?"

To the left of the man in gray is a tall, thin, black-faced man, who at first glance looks like a black, old door panel standing there.

"There must be something, but it can't stand him so defeated, I heard that many clan elders of the Yang family have agreed to abolish his status as the eldest son. ”

The old door panel turned its head to look around, and then said to a few people secretly:

"I heard that he seems to have hooked up with a big man through his mother's cousin, Miss Han, and took out a lot of family funds for others, but the big man colluded with the abnormal bloodline and was directly taken away by the gentleman's sword. ”

"Ah, and what's going on?"

On the right hand side of the man in gray is a burly man, speaking in a loud voice, with a simple and honest energy in his bones.

"The Yang family not only lost people, but also killed several clan elders, this time it can be said that they lost their wives and soldiers, and it is estimated that they will not be able to do the shopkeeper of Mengzhou. ”

There was a little schadenfreude in the tone of the old door panel, thinking that three years ago he wanted to go to the Yang family to ask for a meal with Elder Keqing's buddies, but who knew that they still looked down on him.

Hmph, now it's okay, come and beg Lao Tzu, maybe you can serve Lao Tzu properly, Lao Tzu is willing to go.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaohe knew that the person at this table should be talking about Yang Yue and Yang Gongzi who snatched the set of "women's roses" with him in Wanbao Commercial Bank, and the yuan stone was not enough.

Oh, I still have a little ability, and I'm back alive!

Jiang Xiaohe chuckled in his heart, and then listened to another table.

"I heard that the once-in-a-decade Xiao and Tong deliberations are coming soon, and the two sons who led the team this time are estimated to have arrived in Lixiang Prefecture. ”

This table is not far from Jiang Xiaohe, and as for the "Xiao and Tong discussions", he also knows that before he came, a gray-haired old cultivator had briefly said a few words to himself:

The southernmost of the forty-eight prefectures, there are seven prefectures in a straight line in Tonglixiang Prefecture, three prefectures in the southwest: Suchang Prefecture, Tianxiang Prefecture, and Minghua Prefecture are all in the hands of the Xiao family, and the four prefectures in the southeast, except for one Nanxiang Prefecture, the other three Shashu Prefecture, Xingyi Prefecture, and Dianzhou are all in the hands of the Tong family.

The Tong family and the Xiao family would negotiate every ten years, and the location was chosen in Lixiang Prefecture, which was occupied by the Yang family.

As for what the negotiations, no one knows.

"These days have already arrived in the past, and it must have arrived early this year, but now that the Yang family's vitality is greatly damaged, do you still have the strength to greet the two of them?"

The conversation was between two fair-skinned young men, and judging by their clothes, they must also have some status.

"You don't understand this, in the past, when the Yang family was strong, they were respectful to the Xiao and Tong families, but now that their vitality is greatly damaged, they should do everything they can to satisfy them, otherwise one of the two sides will be unhappy, and a little sum will also divide this ceremony. ”

This time it was a round-faced man who spoke, and it was the square-faced man next to him who answered:

"Eh, speaking of which, the Yang family is also pitiful, these eight states in the south, except for one Nanxiang Prefecture that is occupied by the South Gate, there is only one family left in Lixiang Prefecture, if the Xiao and Tong families are really offended, it is really hard to say whether they can see the sun tomorrow. ”

Jiang Xiaohe understood a little more in his heart.

"Shopkeeper, good wine and good food are ready. ”

Three more brocade-clothed sons came in at the door, and each of them was followed by an attendant, Jiang Xiaohe raised his eyes and saw that it was Yang Yue and Yang Gongzi who walked in the middle.

Yang Yue's heart beat violently, obviously still a little afraid of Jiang Xiaohe.

However, he tried his best not to squint, pretending not to see Jiang Xiaohe, and Jiang Xiaohe didn't pay attention to him anymore.

However, the more he didn't want to cause trouble, the more things had to come to him.

"You, hurry up and settle the bill and get out. ”

An attendant in blue appeared in front of Jiang Xiaohe and said a word arrogantly.

Jiang Xiaohe was slightly stunned, the position he chose was partial and small, how could he be favored by these three sons who knew that they were extraordinary at a glance?

Even if he thought about it on his knees, he knew that it was Yang Yue who was making trouble inside.

"There are also two empty tables in the hall, with a wide field of vision and a large table, why do the three sons have to squeeze here?"

Jiang Xiaohe didn't get up, just raised his hand and glanced at the blue-robed waiter, if his guess was right, he should be from the Xiao family.

One of those old cultivators said that the descendants of the Xiao family wore blue clothes, and the people of the Tong family wore green clothes.

"If you get out, you'll get out, where did all this nonsense come from?"

The blue-clothed waiter was impatient, and he felt that the eyes of many people around him had turned to this side.

If it was on weekdays, he would definitely enjoy this feeling of "all eyes on the public" very much, but today the three sons want to talk about a private matter here that is "not enough for outsiders", so they found such a secluded place and didn't want to attract attention.

"I've always walked on my legs when I'm so big, why don't you show me how to roll first!"

Jiang Xiaohe felt a little angry in his heart, he sat here well and didn't hinder them, and didn't provoke them, why should he be scolded by a waiter?

Do you want this position, can't you negotiate with good words?

Yes, with Yang Yue participating in it, how could they discuss with them with good words?

"You're looking for death!"

The blue-clothed waiter's face changed, and the long sword on his waist came out of the sheath with a "clang", and Jiang Xiaohe saw the sword light flash, and stabbed it horizontally towards his neck.

His right hand was raised slightly, and two fingers were stretched out to grip the sword as the tip of the sword was close to his neck.

There was a crisp "click", his right hand was slightly forced, and the long sword in the hand of the blue-clothed waiter immediately shattered into several pieces, one of which happened to slash through the neck of the blue-clothed waiter when it landed.

If you don't agree with each other, you draw your sword and face each other?

Indeed, the bigger the place, the more you like to talk with the weapon in your hand!
