Chapter 12: Rongcheng Residence

After Long Yeyu and the three of them came down the mountain, they had to walk because they didn't have horses. Gradually, they became familiar with it, and naturally they talked a lot. After walking for a few days, Long Yeyu felt that although Zhang Aoxue was intelligent, her temperament was a little cold, if she hadn't saved them, she was afraid that she might not go to Nantian Ancient Temple with her, but Li Hongmei was as enthusiastic as fire, and she always spoke straightforwardly. But the cultivation of the two of them has reached the perfection of the mortal martial realm, and Long Yeyu has passed through the battle of Black Wind Village, and he can vaguely feel that the seventh layer of the "Heavenly Dragon Jue" is almost able to break through now.

The three of them walked for a few more days and finally saw a city, which from a distance looked like the same as Qingshui Castle, but there was no moat. Long Yeyu looked at Zhang Aoxue and Li Hongmei, their clothes were already full of dust, and his own was even more unbearable, not only full of dust but also bloodstained. Last time, I burned all the spare clothes in order to light a fire in the cave, but now this is all Long Yeyu thought: "It seems that I have a few more pieces ready." Thinking of this, Long Yeyu looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Aoxue! Hongmei! There is a city in front of you, why don't you go into the city and find an inn to rest for a night?" Zhang Aoxue just nodded slightly. And Li Hongmei said coquettishly: "Okay! I haven't taken a shower for a few days!

Long Yeyu laughed at himself: "Then you are looking at me! Not only is it sticky and bloodstained?" Zhang Aoxue and Li Hongmei couldn't help but laugh when they looked at Long Yeyu's clothes and expression. Long Yeyu laughed out loud when he saw this. After a while, Zhang Aoxue said slowly: "Okay! Don't laugh, let's go!" There is still a way from the city!" Long Yeyu waved his hand and said: "Let's go!" The three of them walked towards the city with a smile. Soon the three of them arrived at the city gate, only to see the word 'Rongcheng' written on the city gate, and Long Yeyu looked at the scarred city wall and thought: "How many wars does this have to go through to leave so many scars?"

Zhang Aoxue looked at Long Yeyu looking at the city wall, and said softly: "Senior Brother Long, what's wrong?" Long Yeyu listened to Zhang Aoxue's words and shook his head lightly and said: "It's nothing! Just feel that this city has to go through how many wars to leave so many scars?" Zhang Aoxue also looked at the city wall and said slowly: "I heard the master say that Rongcheng is an ancient city with a history of hundreds of years, so there will be so many scars!" Long Yeyu nodded when he listened, and then Li Hongmei came over and said in a coquettish voice: "Senior Brother Long! What are you talking about? Listen to Hongmei?" Long Yeyu smiled: "It's nothing! That is, why are there so many scars on the city wall!"

When Li Hongmei heard this, she pursed her lips and said, "I thought there was something unusual! Long Yeyu smiled and shook his head, and followed. Entering the main street of the inner city is really lively, and it is worthy of an ancient city with a history of more than 100 years. Long Yeyu looked at all kinds of snacks, juggling, and cloth shops, blacksmith shops, jewelry shops, and everything on both sides of the road. And Zhang Aoxue and Long Yeyu were walking behind, looking at Li Hongmei like a child, looking at this for a while, and looking at that for a while, they were very happy.

Long Yeyu walked a little further and saw an inn, Long Yeyu stopped Li Hongmei, who was still walking forward, and said: "Hongmei, let's settle down and play first!" Li Hongmei followed slightly reluctantly, walked into the inn, Long Yeyu walked to the shopkeeper who was settling accounts and said: "Shopkeeper! Give this son three good guest rooms!" The shopkeeper looked at Long Yeyu, who was covered in blood, and said cautiously: "This guest officer! It's a pity that the rooms in the small shop are full! Why don't you take a look at another one?" When Long Yeyu heard this, he turned his head to Zhang Aoxue outside the door and said, "Aoxue! The rooms in this store are full, let's change one!" Zhang Aoxue nodded, but Li Hongmei said coquettishly: "Really!

When the shopkeeper heard this, he smiled and said, "Girl, tomorrow is the Festival of Lights! Now there are fewer shops with vacant rooms!" Li Hongmei said a little hurriedly when she heard this: "Senior Brother Long! Senior sister, let's look for it quickly! See if there are any other inns with rooms." Long Yeyu also nodded and said, "Yes, don't have no room!" After speaking, the three of them left a few more houses, and sure enough, there was no room. Looking at the last inn in front of them, Long Yeyu and the three of them were a little worried, after all, if there was none, several people would be sleeping on the streets.

Long Yeyu and the three of them came to this inn called "Yuelai", Long Yeyu walked in and looked at the shopkeeper who was also settling accounts and said: "Shopkeeper! Give this son three upper rooms!" The shopkeeper raised his head and looked at Long Yeyu Looking at Zhang Aoxue and Li Hongmei behind him, he said with some hesitation: "Guest officer......! It's just ......" Long Yeyu looked at the shopkeeper with some hesitation, and couldn't help asking: "Just what?" The shopkeeper said: "It's just that there is only one room left now!" Long Yeyu glanced at Zhang Aoxue and Li Hongmei after listening and said, "Can you make room for this son, and this son will give you double the price?"

The shopkeeper said with some embarrassment: "This guest officer! It's not a matter of whether the money is or not! But I really can't vacate it!" I hope the guest officer will forgive me!" Long Yeyu looked at Zhang Aoxue and Li Hongmei with some undecided thoughts and said, "You also heard it just now, what should I do now?" Li Hongmei walked over and said coquettishly: "Why can't you vacate it! You have to vacate it for this girl today!" The shopkeeper said in embarrassment: "Girl, don't be embarrassed about the old age! Don't embarrass the shopkeeper!, let's just have one room!" Li Hongmei listened to Zhang Aoxue's words, glanced at Long Yeyu and said shyly: "Senior sister......"

After listening to Zhang Aoxue's words, Long Yeyu was also a little unnatural, after all, it was not good for men and women to be in the same room. Although through the veil, Long Yeyu could also see that Zhang Aoxue was also so ashamed that her face turned red. Long Yeyu hurriedly said: "Aoxue! Hongmei! You can stay! I'm looking to see if there is any other inn!" Zhang Aoxue said a little shyly: "Senior Brother Long! We've all looked for it and there is no more!" I'm just afraid that it's just this one, and I'm saying that the two little sisters can trust Senior Brother Long's character!" Long Yeyu shirked and said: "I'm afraid it's not good for your reputation! I'm still looking for it!" Li Hongmei listened to Long Yeyu's words and said a little angrily: "Senior Sister and I are not afraid of our own reputation! Is Senior Brother Long still afraid?"

Zhang Aoxue dragged Li Hongmei, and Li Hongmei reluctantly turned around. Long Yeyu looked at Li Hongmei and thought: "You are not afraid! I am even more afraid!" Long Yeyu smiled and said: "I am too worldly! After a while, Xiao Er came, and the three of them went upstairs with Long Yeyu to Tianzi No. 1 room.

After Long Yeyu and the three of them entered the room, Xiao Er smiled and said, "A few guest officers! If there is nothing else to do, the little one will go out first!" Long Yeyu looked at the room with a wave of his hand, and the room was divided into two parts: inside and outside. There is a screen in the inner room, and behind the screen there is a wooden barrel for bathing. Next to it is the bed, and next to the bed is a bench where people can lie down. Outside, there is a table and four benches. There was also a pot of tea and a few cups on the table. The east wall is full of calligraphy and paintings for people to enjoy, but the west wall is a window, and when Long Yeyu opens the window, you can see the scenery of the whole street. At this time, Zhang Aoxue and Li Hongmei seemed a little restrained, and they were somewhat embarrassed to live in a room with a man.

At this moment, the knock on the door came to mind, Long Yeyu sat on the stool and poured a cup of tea and said, "Come in!" Xiao Er came in with two buckets of hot water and smiled: "Guest officer, your hot water!" Long Yeyu said: "Go directly into the wooden barrel and put some petals in." After speaking, he threw a tael of silver to Xiao Er. Xiao Er hurriedly put away the silver and said with a smile: "Okay!" After speaking, he poured the water on the wooden barrel and went out again, and after a while, he was holding a plate, only to see that the plate was full of petals, and there were all kinds of colorful flowers. All the brains were poured in, and when they were done, they went out with the barrels.

Long Yeyu was drinking tea leisurely, but Zhang Aoxue and Li Hongmei were a little embarrassed to look at me and I looked at you, after all, both of them were sticky and a little uncomfortable! Long Yeyu finished drinking the tea in the cup, looked at the two people with ruddy faces, and smiled: "Aoxue, Hongmei, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Aoxue's face became more ruddy, but she didn't say anything and looked away, while Li Hongmei said shyly: "Senior Brother Long, didn't you ask knowingly, Senior Sister and I both want to take a bath, but Senior Brother Long, if you don't go out, how can we wash!" Long Yeyu listened and smiled: "Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll go out now! I'll be back in a while!" After speaking, he got up and walked out.

As soon as he closed the door, he heard laughter coming from inside, and Long Yeyu also smiled and walked downstairs. After going downstairs, Long Yeyu walked up to the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you know where there are clothes sellers?" The shopkeeper looked up and saw that it was Long Yeyu and said, "This guest officer! From here, go out at the second intersection and turn left to the left, and the third room sells cloth and clothes." Long Yeyu thanked him, and walked along the way the shopkeeper said, and it was indeed a cloth shop. Long Yeyu walked in and looked at the woman squatting behind a box and said, "Boss, do you have ready-made clothes?"

I saw a woman about forty years old stand up from behind a box and say, "Yo! This guest officer, there are all kinds of clothes here in the slave family, I don't know what kind of clothes do you want?" Long Yeyu looked at the woman in front of him and said, "Just come and have the same ones as this son." The woman looked at Long Yeyu's bloodstained clothes, and said cautiously: "Guest officer, you ask the slave family to measure the width of your shoulders and the length of your arms, and the slave family is easy to find!" Long Yeyu said with his hands too flat on his shoulders: "Measure it!" I saw the woman stretch out her hand that was not too white and take it and measure it. After measuring it, he went into the inner room, leaving Long Yeyu alone in the house.

After a while, the woman came out, and walked up to Long Yeyu with three or four pieces of clothes in her hand and said, "Guest officer, I don't know if you like that?" Long Yeyu looked at the blue, green, white and black clothes in the woman's hand, Long Yeyu picked up the white clothes and said, "That's it!" Seeing this, the woman put the other three aside and asked, "Guest officer, do you want to try it?" Long Yeyu looked at his bloodstained clothes and said, "Then just change it on!" When the woman heard this, she took Long Yeyu into the inner room and came to a rather small room, and said, "Guest officer, you can try it here!" Long Yeyu took off his bloodstained clothes, then changed into white clothes and walked back and forth, stretched out his arms and legs, and felt good. Then he walked out dressed and said, "Boss, bring me three!" The woman said with some uncertainty after listening: "Guest, do you want three?"

Long Yeyu nodded, and the woman got Long Yeyu's reply and went into the back room, and after a while, she took out three blue clothes and handed them to Long Yeyu and said, "Guest officer, this is the clothes you want!" Long Yeyu took it and said, "How much silver is it in total?" The woman smiled: "A total of twenty taels of silver and forty copper!" Long Yeyu rummaged through the "Qiankun Bag" but found that the silver was not enough, Long Yeyu had to take out the gold bars he got in Heifeng Village, and Long Yeyu took out the gold bars to the woman. The woman was embarrassed and said, "Guest officer, aren't you embarrassed by the slave family? The slave family can't earn this silver for a few years, how can I find it for you!"

Long Yeyu heard what the woman said, and asked, "Where can I find it?" The woman said: "There is a money bank in front of me, you should be able to find it!" Long Yeyu put down his shirt and said, "I'll go now!" After speaking, he walked towards the money bank that the woman said. When he entered the bank, he ushered in a middle-aged man, and when he saw Long Yeyu, he said: "This guest officer, are you here to exchange money, or are you here to save money?" Long Yeyu took out the gold bar and said, "Give me silver!" The middle-aged man saw that it was gold bars and listened to Long Yeyu's words, and said with an ugly face: "This guest officer, aren't you embarrassed by the shop? 10,000 taels of silver! Where can you let the shop find it for you? Why don't you think this will work? The shop will exchange you for nine taels of gold and nine taels of gold for 100 taels of silver?"

After hearing this, Long Yeyu said, "You can exchange it for two hundred taels of silver!" The middle-aged man said: "It's okay! Guest officer, you wait a moment!" After speaking, he walked into the inner hall, and the inner hall and the outer hall were separated by iron pillars, thinking that he was afraid that someone would come to rob him! After a while, the middle-aged man came back, holding nine ten taels of gold and eight taels of gold and one hundred and ninety-five taels of silver, handed it to Long Yeyu and said: "Guest officer! This is your ninety-eight taels of gold and one hundred and ninety-five taels of silver! Because the amount you exchanged is relatively large, I have to accept five taels of silver from you!" Long Yeyu put away ninety-eight taels of gold and one hundred and ninety-five taels of silver and said, "This is also the way it should be!" After speaking, he went out and walked towards the cloth shop just now.

After entering the cloth shop, Long Yeyu took out twenty-five taels of silver and handed it to the woman and said, "Shop, give you silver!" The woman took out sixty coppers from her sleeve and handed them to Long Yeyu and said, "Guest officer, this is the copper plate that is looking for you!" Long Yeyu picked up his shirt and said, "No need to look for it!" The woman said stubbornly: "No! The slave family only accepts the money that should be collected, and the extra copper is not wanted!" Long Yeyu couldn't help but look at the woman a few more times and said, "Okay then!" After speaking, he picked up the sixty coppers handed over by the woman and walked outside.

Long Yeyu just wanted to go back, and couldn't help but think: "I'm afraid that Aoxue and Hongmei haven't finished washing yet, so let's go shopping!" Thinking of this, Long Yeyu retracted his feet and walked forward, Long Yeyu wandered aimlessly and happened to pass by a place that sold pastries! Long Yeyu walked in, and as soon as he entered the house, he smelled the fragrance of pastries. Long Yeyu couldn't help but take a deep breath, and a woman in her thirties chuckled when she saw this: "This guest officer, this is the first time you have come to the slave's crispy shop, right?" Long Yeyu asked curiously: "How do you know that this is the first time for my son?"
