"This is Linjiang Tower?"

Zhao Ying looked at the restaurant in front of him, which was full of people and had a Chu style, stopped, looked back at the surprise behind him, and suggested with a smile.

"The terrain of this restaurant is high, why don't we rest here at noon?"

The emperor's eldest grandson proposed that Jing and Ah Nu be his entourage, so naturally he would not object.

"Three guest officers, welcome to patronize, please inside-"

Seeing Zhao Ying and the three of them, they came over, and the second child in the tavern trotted up to meet them, bowing.

"Is there a place on the top floor? The first time our shopkeeper came here, I heard that on the top floor of your building, looking far away by the railing, you can see our Changsha County Xiangshui such as a belt, the scenery of the mountains towering......"

Surprised, he took the initiative to step forward, copied a proficient Chu dialect, greeted the shopkeeper, and stuffed a few big coins into Xiao'er without a trace while talking.

The shopkeeper's face was originally a little embarrassed, but he suddenly became a little more enthusiastic.

"We originally had a distinguished guest on the top floor these days, but today the distinguished guest happened to not come, if the three distinguished guests will not be delayed for too long, the villain can go and talk to the shopkeeper——"

glanced at Zhao Ying without a trace, and saw Zhao Ying bowing slightly, and a smile of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

"Then it's bothering the little brother......"

As he spoke, he stuffed a dozen big coins without making a trace.

The smile on Xiao Er's face became brighter and brighter, and he invited Zhao Ying, the three generous uncles, to sit on the first floor, and then patted his chest and went in to negotiate with his shopkeeper. After a while, I saw the shopkeeper coming over with a spring breeze on his face, and he said happily.

"Three distinguished guests, fortunately, not dishonored, upstairs, please-"

Zhao Ying smiled and nodded.

Linjiang Building, really worthy of the name of Linjiang, climb to the top floor of the restaurant, look far away by the railing, not only can you see the water of the Xiangjiang River, clear and white as practice, surrounded by mountains, the scenery is beautiful and picturesque, and the whole Changsha County, are almost unobstructed.

Sure enough, it's a good place for first class.

In this regard, Zhao Ying is quite satisfied.

"Your restaurant, if you have any special wine and food, just pick up some and send them - your reward is indispensable......"

After receiving the startled order, the joy on Xiao Er's face was even heavier, and he went down to make people prepare.

Zhao Ying walked to the railing, with his hands behind his back, admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him.

He had also been here in his previous life, but at that time, there were many high-rise buildings, not to mention the Xiangshui outside the city, and even the mountains outside could not be seen, let alone overlooking the whole city as it is now.

Of course, there are probably similar places that can be like what they are in front of, but he doesn't have that qualification.

According to the calculation of the foot, Zhang Liang and Cone Gu and their entourage, when they arrived here, they would have to be tomorrow, so Zhao Ying was not in a hurry, and he was surprised and Ah Nu, sitting in the restaurant with a leisurely expression, waiting for the food in this Chu land with great anticipation.

"Red stewed mutton, steamed carp, plum cabbage button meat, stir-fried kidney flower ......"

The shopkeeper's eyebrows danced, and he proudly introduced the special food of his hotel to Zhao Ying and others one by one.

"You don't know, this is our host, specially sent people from Xianyang Tianxiang Pavilion to learn the dishes and practices, ordinary places, but can not eat this kind of food, many customers, are rushing to this, you are a coincidence, yesterday the shopkeeper into more materials, otherwise you this point, really may not be able to eat......"

Zhao Ying: ......

Looking at the familiar "Changsha specialties" in front of him, Zhao Ying couldn't help crying and laughing.

I feel that I eat these in Xianyang, and I have to eat these in Changsha, right?

"Don't fool me, but I heard that the dishes of Tianxiang Pavilion are never passed down lightly, how did you learn these skills......

Zhao Ying couldn't help but point to the food in front of him and asked with some curiosity.

"You don't know, in order to learn this hand, our host has spent a lot of money, leading several chefs in the house, and has eaten in Tianxiang Pavilion for more than a month, and the cost alone has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars......

Zhao Ying: ......

What a ruthless person!

Although what Xiao'er just said is a bit exaggerated, but if you really take someone to eat in your own restaurant for more than a month, and eat all the dishes several times, the cost will not be less, hundreds of thousands of dollars must be exaggerated, his Tianxiang Pavilion is a restaurant, not a slaughterhouse, but one or two thousand dollars is definitely not enough.

Ordinary people are really not willing to give up this kind of blood.

"Awesome, your shopkeeper is really bold!"

Zhao Ying sincerely gave the shopkeeper a thumbs up.

Then, I picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, not to mention, these dishes in Linjiang Building are really a little hot, and they are much better than those imitating Tianxiangge dishes in Xianyang City.

When the little second child got Zhao Ying's praise, he suddenly came to his senses, bent his waist, and asked with a courteous face.

"How about the guests, it tastes like you......"

Zhao Ying nodded.

"Not bad......

As he spoke, he casually threw two big coins to Xiao Er, and Xiao Er immediately nodded and went down. Zhao Ying turned around with a smile and pointed to the food in front of him.

"Come, let's make do with some food - wait for the next time, let's find a small restaurant, maybe we can really eat this Changsha specialty......"

Although I want to taste the Changsha specialties of this era, I can't eat it, and Zhao Ying is not entangled, after all, the food in Linjianglou is quite good, and the portion is full, and the ingredients are quite fresh.

If you want to eat, next time you will change places.

……

Linjiang Building is not only a restaurant, but also a guest house in the backyard. After the meal, Zhao Ying took a set of "fake" talismans made from the yamen and directly ordered three rooms in the backyard.

I am ready to wait, and I will meet Zhang Liang and the others tomorrow.

At dinner, he originally wanted to go to the top floor again, but he was told by the little second that the distinguished guest who had chartered the top floor had returned and was drinking upstairs. He didn't insist, after all, it was originally chartered by others, and it was already an unexpected joy that he could go up and have a look at it at noon.

This time, though, he made a point of making a few local specialties scream. Pull the surprise and the girl, and find a random place on the first floor to enjoy dinner. But what made him a little laughable was that these so-called local dishes had also been influenced by Tianxiang Pavilion, and many practices had the shadow of Tianxiang Pavilion.

"They've learned quite thoroughly......

Smiled and nodded.

"Less shopkeeper, you don't know, in fact, not only Changsha, other places, there are also many such restaurants, villains have eaten similar wine and dishes when they are in Huiji, such as today's Xiangge dishes, has become a fashion......"

Zhao Ying: ......

He really didn't expect that this kind of meal would spread so quickly.

"It's not as good as the food at home......"

At this time, Ah Nu put down the chopsticks in her hand with some disgust and said very honestly.

She was originally extremely beautiful, even if she was deliberately low-key, but a smile was enough to touch people's hearts, at this time, she put down the chopsticks in her hand with a disgusted face, which immediately attracted the attention of many people around.

Just when Zhao Ying was worried that it would cause dissatisfaction in the restaurant, it turned out that there was no, not only the diners around him, but even the shopkeeper who was just about to come over to deliver tea smiled quite tolerantly and did not argue with this beautiful girl.

Sure enough, if you look good, you have an advantage.

Ah Nu is simple and unworldly, but at this time, seeing that everyone is looking at her, she also knows that she seems to have said the wrong thing just now, so she quickly shut up, reached out and took the hat on the side, and put it on her head.

At this moment, he heard the sound of the stairs, and Zhao Ying subconsciously turned his head and glanced at it.

I saw a young man in a red robe with a cold and hard face, leading a servant down the stairs without squinting.

"Guest, you go slowly—"

Seeing the young man in the red robe, walking down from the upper floor, the shopkeeper who was still around Zhao Ying just now and was courteous, suddenly came up and nodded and said hello.

The young man in the red robe glanced at him, and then casually took off the money bag hanging from his waist and threw it away.

Then, he walked away without looking back.

Only the shopkeeper was left, holding the heavy money bag, nodding his head in the back, and thanking him in the back. attracted a group of diners around, and their eyes couldn't help showing a trace of envy.

That money bag is worth a lot of money at first glance.

The actions of the man in red made Zhao Ying feel slightly stunned, and glanced thoughtfully at the back of their master and servant leaving. His eyes are keen, far beyond ordinary people, and he knows better than anyone that the man in red just now only has such a money bag on his body.

Give a reward, and directly reward all the money on your body?

Drink the Northwest Wind yourself?

Quietly glanced at the startled, suddenly understood, quietly put down the chopsticks in his hand, found a random reason, and walked out of the restaurant, far behind the man in red.

It's not that Zhao Ying is suspicious, but the performance of the man in red is a little unusual.

The Chu people are still red, especially the Chu royal family, and most of them wear red clothes.

It's just that since the defeat of the Chu State, there are very few nobles in Chu who dare to blatantly wear red clothes again. After all, the Qin people are still black, and no matter what attitude these nobles have towards Great Qin in their hearts, they must take care of the Qin people's perception after all, so as not to be cleaned up in the name of the Chu State.

The young man just now was not only dressed in red, with a pampered and noble air, but also behaved a little abnormally. How can a normal person throw all the money on his body to others, and he is not ready to die......

Maybe it's a big fish.

Seeing the surprise, she suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and left, Ah Nu glanced at it a little strangely, and she couldn't figure out the situation.

But she still watched her surroundings warily.

frightened away, she, the "guard", had to take on the safety of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson of her own family.

Looking at her troubled appearance, Zhao Ying couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

……

In the middle of the afternoon, I was shocked.

"Your Highness, something is wrong—"

As soon as he entered the house, he lowered his voice and reported carefully.

"The master and servant, after going out, have been walking around this street - look at the posture, it doesn't look like it's shopping, it's like observing the terrain......"

When Zhao Ying heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Interesting—"

…………

That same evening.

Changsha County, a remote courtyard.

"Why should Childe know that he can't do it?"

Hearing this, Jing Gongzi, who was dressed in a big red robe, stopped again, turned around, and looked at the gray-haired old man behind him, holding his coat with both hands, and bowing deeply.

“…… Thank you Mr. for retaining, but the eldest husband was born in heaven and earth, there are things to do, there are things to do, Jing Gou has lived so far, it has been more than ten years, the time to be humiliated and humiliated has been long enough, it is time to fight the sword for the country......"

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, shook his head slightly, straightened his clothes, and returned the salute to the man in red meticulously.

"Childe take care—"

Jing Gongzi, returned the salute, then pressed the long sword in his hand, and went away resolutely.

Behind him, the old man looked at Jing Gongzi's distant back, couldn't help shaking his head slightly, and sighed softly.

"It's already at this time, why should Master get involved in these things again? With that emperor's eldest grandson here, the spirit of the Great Qin King has revived, and there is even a boiling trend, these people don't know how to advance or retreat, they don't know how to advance or retreat......"

At this moment, a young girl with bright eyes and bright teeth walked out of the room behind her, her eyes calm.

"The catastrophe has begun, and there is today's meeting, I am afraid that even our master and apprentice, this time, I am afraid that we will be coerced in it......"

The old man smiled bitterly.

"I don't want to be a teacher, it's just that I inherited the love of the king of Chu back then, and I couldn't bear it, seeing that his heirs were cut off, and the incense was not continued, but this time, I'm afraid it will involve you......"

The bright-eyed girl stepped forward and grabbed the old man's arm.

"Master, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, even if they are implicated, it is not necessarily a bad thing, this reunion of the deceased cannot be said to be a chance for you and me......"

If Zhao Yingruo is in front of him, he will definitely be able to recognize that these two masters and apprentices who are like ancestors and grandchildren are the old man of Huangshi who once stayed in his mansion, and his female apprentice Xu Ying, who is famous for her physiognomy!

……

Zhao Ying didn't know any of this.

The next morning, after sending out the shock, he also took Ah Nu and walked around, and to his surprise, he met the man in red again, but this time, not in a restaurant, but at a roadside stall near an arched bridge.

Moreover, there was no figure of the man in red beside the little girl.

Although it was hundreds of meters away, Zhao Ying could see it clearly, although the little guy was eating, but his face was sad, and he looked preoccupied, and in just a quarter of an hour, his eyes involuntarily glanced at the arch bridge not far away more than ten times.

The corners of Zhao Ying's mouth were slightly raised, and there was an imperceptible smile in his eyes.

Perhaps, this trip to Changsha will fall on the master and servant.

According to the itinerary, this arch bridge is exactly where you must pass through to enter the city.

And this road has already been cleaned up by Changsha County, which is used to welcome himself, the governor of Jiangnan, the eldest grandson of the Great Qin Emperor.

In the middle of the morning, Zhao Ying saw the team of Changsha County to welcome the emperor's eldest grandson.

The county guard Wood and the county lieutenant Song Wu took a group of officials and the heads of some local wealthy families in Changsha County to greet them in person.
