When you come out of the inn and look up into the distance, you can clearly see that in the middle of the unpretentious houses, there is a luxurious compound that is incompatible with other houses.

It's like standing out from the crowd.

Because Dao Sanye's house was not very far from the inn, Dao Sanye proposed to go on foot.

For the third master of the Dao proposal, Tang Juan readily agreed, and then he turned his head to look at Mei Raoshuang behind him.

Noticing the inquiring meaning in Tang Juan's eyes, Mei Raoshuang just nodded slightly.

Perhaps because of the heavy rain just now, there are not too many pedestrians on the street, and there is no bustle of vendors selling in the past, and there are no crowds of people that can be seen everywhere.

Don Juan stood in the street and listened quietly, although there was a slight noise of footsteps, but it accentuated the silence of the world.

The rough bluestone slabs are pitted with many puddles of stagnant water, and as the sun shines, they shimmer like gems given by nature.

Of course, all this is just Don Juan's own opinion.

Mei Raoshuang on the side was holding the hem of her skirt and carefully avoiding the stagnant water on the ground.

Like a cat that doesn't want to get dirty.

Light, feminine and pleasing to the eye.

Compared to Mei Raoshuang, Don Juan didn't seem to care so much about this, after all, his clothes were soaked with rain from the beginning.

I saw him casually stepping in the stagnant water, watching the water splash under his feet, and he smiled like a naughty child.

Although Mei Raoshuang's eyes were full of disgust, the third master of the Dao just smiled and said nothing.

As a man, happiness always comes easily.

"I'm used to staying in Ping'an Town, and I forgot for a while that I had left. ”

Don Juan looked down at the boots on his feet and said with emotion.

"Linjiang City has been waiting for this rain for two months. ”

Hearing Tang Juan's words, Dao Sanye walked only when he saw him He raised his head and looked at the sunlight in the sky, and said with emotion.

Hearing the words of the third master, Tang Juan nodded and smiled: "When I first arrived at the Linjiang realm in the past few days, I felt that these days were extremely hot, and this rain really relieved a lot of heat. ”

"Tang Gongzi doesn't hate rain?"

"Yes, you've been in Jingchu for three years, I'm afraid you've long been used to it. ”

As soon as the third master finished speaking, he turned his head and thought about it, and laughed softly.

"Who said it wasn't, but Jing Chu's rain was my mother-in-law's, where was the joy of this rain. ”

"But the third master knows that the wine in Ping'an Town is the strongest wine in the world. ”

"When I drank that wine, I felt like there was an extra furnace in my body, and all my worries and sorrows were gone. ”

Hearing Tang Juan's words, Third Master Dao just laughed and said, "Tang Gongzi is talking about a mountain fire bar, a mountain volcanic fire, when it is like a wildfire on the mountain, it is difficult to quell. ”

Speaking of reasoning, Dao Sanye's eyes lit up, as if he remembered something, and he only heard him say out loud: "Speaking of which, Tang Gongzi came just in time, I still have a few bottles of mountain fire wine left, and I will use them to share with Tang Gongzi when the time comes." ”

Regarding the words of the third master, Tang Juan just shook his head slightly and said, "It's a pity that the third master, I only drink when I have nothing to do." ”

Only when he is with his friends will he drink, Don Juan thought of Li Shaoyi, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

As if sensing Tang Juan's words, Dao Sanye didn't continue, but instead changed his words and said something else.

"However, although the rain in Jing Chu is annoying, it is a good place for those who practice martial arts to calm their minds. ”

"Especially for people who are stuck in asking their mood, it is an excellent place to understand. ”

Hearing the words of the third master of the Dao, Tang Juan smiled lightly and said: "For most people, the rainy day in Jingchu is more irritating than the unbreakable state of mind. ”

"Despite this, the masters of the King Realm who came out of Jing Chu are much calmer than those of the ordinary King Realm. ”

"For example, Lan Ruofu, the right minister of the Imperial City, is a person from Jingchu. ”

Dao Sanye glanced at Tang Juan and said with a smile.

"The old man did think I was out of character, so he sent me somewhere. ”

Hearing the third master of the Dao mentioning his senior brother, Tang Juan's originally cheerful face suddenly became bitter, and he said a little weakly.

"But I've known Lan Xiang for a long time, and it's the first time I've heard that he has a junior brother. ”

"Even his teacher, I have never heard him mention it. ”

"I don't know if Tang Gongzi can solve a problem for Dao. ”

Third Master Dao looked at Tang Juan and said with interest.

And Mei Raoshuang on the side obviously heard Tang Juan talk about his life experience for the first time, and she was obviously a little more curious, and couldn't help but look at Don Juan a few more times.

"Third Master Dao laughed, if the old man doesn't want to tell you, I, as a junior brother, dare to say more?"

Tang Juan raised his eyebrows, and only shrugged his shoulders at Third Master Dao's inquiry.

"It's Dao who is abrupt. ”

Third Master Dao nodded, and then said with a smile: "In this huge imperial city, there are only a handful of people who can really make Dao look at it, and Lan Xiang is one of them. ”

"Someone once said that Lan Xiang was in the court for a day, and he could protect the imperial city for a day. ”

"What a majesty you say!"

Speaking of this, the third master of the Dao also had a little more respect in his eyes.

"When Dao first became an intermediary, the lord of the hidden dragon in the imperial city ordered me to hunt me down. ”

"You know, what the lord said, for the upper and lower levels of the hidden dragon guard, even if it is a decree from the gods, it is not an exaggeration. ”

"Even I felt like I was going to die. ”

Bringing up this past again, even if he is as calm as the third master, he can't help but sigh again and again.

"Back then, thanks to Lan Xiang's words to the saint, saying that if this person rises, it will be a force that can infiltrate the rivers and lakes for the imperial city. ”

Third Master Dao looked at Tang Juan with a smile and continued: "So that day, Lan Xiang sent someone to find me and promised the Imperial City not to interfere with your forces, and on the other hand, you will serve the Imperial City for ten years. ”

"So that's what makes it possible for you to be an intermediary?"

Hearing the words of the third master, Tang Juan asked with a smile.

"No, I refused. Third Master Dao just shook his head, he looked at Don Juan who was surprised, and explained: "I once said to Lan Xiang that I have no ambition in this life, I only like to do business with people, but I don't want to work under others. ”

This is also the way that I broke out of my state of mind. ”

"The body can die, the Dao heart is not extinguished, presumably Tang Gongzi will understand this feeling. ”

Hearing this, not only Tang Juan, but even Mei Raoshuang couldn't help but nod slightly.

"So Lan Xiang listened to it, so I could talk about a deal. ”

"I didn't refuse. ”

Dao Sanye looked at Tang Juan, and there was a little more smile in his eyes.

"Does Tang Gongzi know who the owner of the third floor is before?"

Hearing the words of the third master, Tang Juan's body shook slightly, and said in disbelief: "Is it an old man?"

"Yes, it's Lan Xiang. ”

Third Master Dao nodded and continued: "Back then, Lan Xiangbao protected me from the pursuit of the lord, but he asked for the right to the third floor of my Tsing Yi Building. ”

"If the Lord had personally talked to me about this matter, I would have preferred to die than agreed. ”

Dao Sanye recalled this past and said in a deep voice.

Don Juan asked curiously, "Why?"

Dao Sanye looked at Tang Huang and saw that his eyes were full of solemnity.

Dao Sanye said: "The great lord has always been to kill all the middlemen, no matter how good he said before, unless you join the Imperial City Hidden Dragon, your final fate will always be death." ”

"But what's the difference between that and being someone else's subordinate?"

Speaking of this, Third Master Dao smiled bitterly.

"But when Lan Xiang found me, I readily agreed to his request. ”

"Although I don't know what means Lan Xiang used, the Great Lord's pursuit of me has indeed slowed down a lot. ”

"It's just that the price is too heavy. ”

"The third floor of Tsing Yi knows the world, so to speak, from the time I decided to cooperate with Lan Xiang, the wind and grass on the rivers and lakes could not escape Lan Xiang's eyes. ”

Hearing the words of the third master of the Dao, Mei Raoshuang on the side suddenly spoke: "Why don't you think that your cooperation with Lan Xiang is just a secret promotion of the great lord." ”

"It's impossible in a lifetime, and although I can't say for sure, I do believe they won't join forces. ”

"You probably know why they won't join forces. ”

Third Master Dao looked at Tang Juan and asked softly.

Don Juan nodded, but then shook his head again.

Don Juan smiled bitterly: "The old man has always kept things in his heart, although I can guess, I will never tell him clearly. ”

"Even though he usually looks like he doesn't care about anything, if I say something like this, he's going to be angry. ”

Every time he thought of the old man who was a little crazy every time he faced him, Don Juan could also sigh silently in his heart.

"Although we are brothers, in terms of age, you can be my grandson, otherwise you still call me grandpa?"

"I don't have any grandchildren, it just so happens that you married Lan Xin and became a door-to-door son-in-law, how good it is to be safe. ”

In Don Juan's mind, every time the old man finished drinking, he would talk to him excitedly.

And Don Juan smiled and pulled off a few of his beards every time, knowing that he was in pain and begging for mercy.

But such a person would never allow Don Juan to ask him anything.

Brother, how many things do you still haven't told me?

Don Juan looked at the sky after the rain and thought with some melancholy.

"However, from the moment you came to see me, the owner of the third floor was no longer him. ”

At this time, Third Master Dao suddenly spoke up, interrupting Don Juan's memories.

"A few days ago, Lan Xiang came to me in person and said that he was willing to return the owner of the third floor to me, just so that you could get my free help when you encountered difficulties. ”

"And it's only for a year. Third Master Dao looked at Tang Juan and said in a deep voice.

"Recently, the movements of the hidden dragons in the Imperial City have been getting bigger and bigger. ”

Hearing the meaning of the words of the third master, Tang Juan, who had been silent for a long time, still spoke.

Third Master Dao nodded and said, "Yes, with the orders of the Great Lord being issued, it is very difficult for Lan Xiang to even leave the Imperial City now. ”

"I didn't stay here for long, and I didn't even have time to say who his junior brother was, but I just said that I would naturally know when I met him. ”

"I didn't quite know what Lan Xiang meant by that. ”

Saying this, Third Master Dao pinched the corners of his eyes, even if he was full of majesty, he couldn't help but show a trace of fatigue on his face at this moment.

"Until the spies I sent in Chasing Sun City reported that a young man had intervened to block the Demon Sword Marquis's ten thousand ghosts. ”

"At first, I thought you were a genius disciple secretly cultivated by the Tianyang Sect, but judging from the Tianyang Sect that is now showing its decline, the timing of your appearance is really a little wrong. ”

"For a young master who suddenly appeared, even if you are not Lan Xiang's junior brother, I will notice you. ”

"It's a pity that I only found out that you have lived in Ping'an Town for three years. ”

"You must know that Lan Xiang's hometown is Ping'an Town. ”

"The moment I saw the news, I was a little sure in my heart, you are Lan Xiang's junior brother. ”

As the third master of Dao sounded, Don Juan's face no longer had the cheerfulness it used to be.

Tang Juan, who was silent for a while, spoke: "That is to say, from the moment I got the token, the old man lost his identity as the owner of Tsing Yi Building. ”

"I'm sure you know what that means. ”

Third Master Dao nodded and said.

Lost an investigative agency that was even more clever than the Imperial City Hidden Dragon, but only for his uncompetitive junior brother?

Senior brother, after so many years, are you still afraid that I will be impulsive?

Thinking of this, Don Juan was silent for a long time, and his face showed a little helplessness.

Third Master Dao glanced at Tang Juan up and down, and then said earnestly: "Tang Gongzi, I have known Lan Xiang for a long time, and he is doing business at such a loss, it is indeed the first time I have known him for so many years. ”

"However, I have always been in business, as long as I negotiate something, I will not regret it. ”

After listening to the words of the third master, Tang Juan could only nod.

Seeing Tang Juan nodding, the original pace of the third master suddenly stopped.

"Alright, when you get to the place, come in with me. Third Master Dao looked at the door in front of him and waved his hand at the two guards in front of the door.

"Third Master!"

I saw the two guards shouting respectfully, and when they saw the master appear, they hurriedly opened the door.

"Let's go. Third Master Dao didn't say much, and walked in first.

Seeing Third Master Dao disappear behind the door, Mei Raoshuang suddenly grabbed Don Juan, who wanted to go in.

"What's wrong, Frost Fairy?"

Tang Juan glanced at the beautiful woman behind him with some curiosity and asked suspiciously.

"Take back this third-floor token. ”

Mei Raoshuang stretched out her hand, and in her white and soft palm, there was a small golden token quietly.
