Chapter 403: Yunhe Yu Tang

Wei Chifeng then fell away.

"The one at the head of the street into the city, the defensive formation is so weak that I am afraid that even the wind can't stop it. ”

"And the alley full of restaurants, with a maze in it, with the idea that it would be interesting to trap the drinkers and make a little more money. It's a pity that the maze can't fascinate the sober people at all, and only the drunk people will follow his way. But the drunken guys still need to be dazzled? They couldn't get out of it......

"By the way, the one in the southwest of the crossroads, heh, the big joke in the world, actually set up an attack in the yard, I was still thinking about how his house was not afraid of hurting the guests, and then approached the yard to take a closer look, sure enough, there is no need to be afraid, because it can't hurt at all! It is estimated that it will be able to catch a mouse......

Seeing that the more he talked, the more energetic he became, He Tianyao hurriedly interrupted: "Okay, Brother Wei Chi, you are looking around and running around along the way, we thought you were so excited to see so many magic circles, and you were picking on other people's faults for a long time." ”

"Hey, the formation is not about many, but about refinement. A pile of turbid wine village mash and a bottle of jade liquid elixir, of course, the latter is more coveted. "Wei Chifeng has a heartbeat.

"That'...... I don't know what about the magic circle of the Imperial Mansion?" Xiao Tianhe glanced at the end of the hillside. The Chixi Emperor's Mansion occupies the entire mountain, like an eagle dormant on the top of the peak. The long approach road is lined with rocky rubble on both sides, and this is the only way that leads to the gate. The streets of Flame Crossbow City were full of people, but there was not a single figure on the road leading to the top of the mountain.

"Go check it out. He Tianyao raised his leg to leave, but was dragged by Wei Chifeng.

Wei Chifeng rushed downhill and pouted: "Brother He, let's see, why is this city named 'Yan Crossbow'?"

He Tianyao looked down, and the whole town happened to be divided in two by this long ramp at the foot of the roof, near the lower part of the slope where the terrain was relatively flat, the houses were dense and neat, and at the halfway slope, because the mountains at the far end of the two sides were too steep, there were no people.

"The soil of this mountain is red and treeless, which should be the word 'Yan'. And the shape of the city is like a giant crossbow. This long road on the outer edge of the transverse is curved and is a crossbow. The walls at the bottom of the slope are taut strings. The protruding gate is the handle of the giant crossbow, and the long ramp at the top is the straight crossbow arrow. He Tianyao explained in great detail.

"That's right, what is the Red Emperor's Mansion?"

He Tianyao turned his head and looked up: "Of course it's the tip of the crossbow arrow!"

"It's still the tip of an arrow on fire. Xiao Tianhe added. Indeed, even the walls of the imperial palace were made of red mountain rock quarried from the Red Lotus Mountain, like a raging flame on a long arrowhead.

Yu Chifeng said mysteriously: "The tip of the arrow is the most lethal part. So it's also a very important place in the entire Flame Ballist. You see, there are no people on the road further up, and there are no houses on either side. If we just swagger up like this, the destination is obviously the Imperial Palace, so it's no wonder if it doesn't arouse suspicion!"

He Tianyao was amused by him: "It turns out that you came around in a big circle to talk about this...... Not to mention that this city is like a giant crossbow, it is like a spittoon, and the imperial palace is of course the most important place in the imperial capital. ”

"Spittoon?" Wei Chifeng looked left and right, laughing, "Don't say, if you don't look at the road but look at the mountain, it's really like it! Hey, in this case, the imperial palace should be ......"

"A mouthful of thick phlegm stuck to the mouth of the spittoon. Zhao Xianglin couldn't cry or laugh, "Can you stop discussing this topic?"

But Wei Chifeng seemed to be unsatisfied, and continued: "Considering the role of the spittoon, the 'phlegm' of the Imperial Mansion is also the most important part of this 'spittoon city'. Tsk, the old ghost in Yuqiu also used red rocks to build a wall, making the emperor's mansion seem to be spit out of the mouth of a tuberculosis ghost, so a mouthful of bloodshot ...... Hey, I'm not done yet, don't go......"

There was still an hour or so before dark, but it was undoubtedly better to leave the matter of the sneak attack on the imperial palace in the dead of night, so a few people still had more than three hours to prepare for this rescue operation at night.

said that he was "preparing", but Wei Chifeng chose the location of the preparation in the alley where the maze was spread. This alley is almost entirely filled with liquor shops, and the smell of wine is everywhere. The wine flag flutters without wind under the effect of the maze, like a hand that keeps waving to a good drinker. Almost all the restaurants have tables and chairs on the street outside their doors, and all but one of the shops is a counter for collecting accounts. The wine tables of each family are connected in the small alley, and the whole alley is connected.

Wei Chifeng raised his nose and sniffed the rich mellow fragrance in the alley, sighed with satisfaction from time to time, but did not stop in front of any wine shop, he explained to everyone: "As the saying goes, 'the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys', in this kind of place where restaurants gather, those who have the courage to open a shop at the end of the alley must have the best wine!"

Zhao Xianglin quietly touched Hua Qingyu and whispered: "Look, he used to laugh at the confusion here, saying that he could only trap people who were drunk." Now that he's still awake, isn't he also 'confused'?"

Hua Qingyu covered her mouth and snickered.

Since there is a restaurant, there must be drunken drinkers. In front of almost every liquor store, there is a table full of fallen drunkards in Yushan, some lying on their backs on benches and snoring, some staggering and still trying to make fists, and some people saying to each other "woo wow" words that they may not even understand. Drunk and drunk, at a glance.

But the strange thing is that in front of the deepest part of this wine shop, not a single drinker can be seen. Not only that, but even the doors of the liquor stores were tightly closed.

"How?" Wei Chifeng grumbled in annoyance, "God."

If it closes before it gets dark, how can there be such a business?"

Xiao Tianhe stretched out his hand and stroked it lightly on a table under the wall outside the window, and touched the dust on his hand. "I don't think it's closed, it's more like the door hasn't been opened. Brother Wei Chi, you miscalculated. ”

"Maybe the wine of other restaurants is so good that no one dares to open a shop in the alley?" Wei Chifeng's explanation didn't even believe him. When I looked up, I saw that the four-character plaque of the liquor store was hanging on the door. "Yun, He, Yu, Tang. He said word for word.

"What kind of strange name is this?" He Tianyao was happy, "If you don't read the words, you still think it's 'clouds and fish ponds'! No matter how beautiful the sky and clouds and shadows reflected in the fish pond are, the water in the pond is also fishy, so it's strange that there will be business with such a name!"

Xiao Tianhe looked back, and the names of other restaurants were very elegant, "Pearl River", "Thousand Days Spring", "Manna Spring", "Hibiscus Jade" and so on. In fact, a pleasant name is also one of the ways to attract drinkers, just like "Yan Balbow City", if it is replaced by "Spittoon City", I am afraid that no one will come here.

At this moment, there was a burst of laughter not far away. The few people followed the prestige, and it was a man with a hat on his head and dressed in black. Unlike other drunken drinkers, he sat upright at a table with an altar and a pot and a cup beside it.

"A few of them must be outsiders. This Yujiu Alley is a well-known wine mecca, and all the wine shops are named after their own signature wines, which means the word 'fame'. The man said aloud.

If you want to say the name of the restaurant, most of them will end with the words "Lou", "Zhai", "Pavilion", "Fang", etc., but this lane is different. It turns out that "Pearl River" and other elegant words are the names of fine wines.

"Then this 'Yunhe Yutang' is also the name of the wine?" Of course, the name of the wine should also be easy to listen to and remember, but the four characters "Yunhe Yutang" are long, strange and difficult to remember, which is not suitable for the name of the wine at all.

The man in black didn't answer, but slowly poured a glass of wine, sipped his beard carefully, and suddenly raised his hand and poured a little residual wine in the cup to this side. Several people were taken aback by his actions, but they heard a "click" sound of broken wood on the side. It turned out that the wine he spilled actually interrupted the wine flagpole next to the door of this "Yunhe Yutang"!

The wine flagpole is about the thickness of the bowl, and the man is seven or eight zhang away from the flagpole, and a little drop of wine can actually penetrate a few holes in the flagpole, which shows that the man's realm is not low.

After the wine flagpole was broken, the dirty wine flag fell and fell at the feet of Wei Chifeng. He looked down, but laughed. Other people's wine flags have a big word "wine" written on them, for fear that others will not know that their stores have good wine to sell. But on the flag of this strange "Yunhe Yutang", the word "wine" disappeared from three points of water, and became an equally strange "unitary" character. Wine flags, like plaques, are important tools for restaurants to attract drinkers, not to mention that the flag is quite dirty, as a place to sell wine, even the word "wine" is written incorrectly, isn't it ridiculous?

"You don't understand, this shop, you have to connect the wine flag and the plaque to read, that's the real sign!"

"Connecting ......" He Tianyao looked down at the wine flag in confusion, and then looked back at the plaque, "Youyunhe Yu Tang?" He still didn't know why.

Xiao Tianhe's pronunciation is different from He Tianyao's, he connects the word "unitary" with the four characters "Yun", "He", "Yu" and "Tang", so it becomes the four characters "brew", "crisp", "drunk" and "sugar".

Wei Chifeng immediately lost his voice and shouted: "Drunk, drunk!"

The man in black smiled: "It seems that there are still people who know how to drink." ”

Yu Chifeng swallowed his saliva vigorously: "Drunken crisp and drunken liquor are both rare and good wines, but how can anyone who likes wine not know?"

But Xiao Tianhe, He Tianyao, and Hua Qingyu are all ascenders, and Zhao Xianglin is not good at drinking, so they have never heard of these two wine names. "What, are these two wines delicious?" He Tianyao asked.

"How can that be described as 'delicious'?" In addition to the formation, fine wine is also Wei Chifeng's hobby, and when it comes to fine wine, he began to gush, "There are different types of good wine, and 'wine' is just a general term. For example, the clean one is 'Jiao', the turbid one is 'cheese', the thick one is 'mellow', the thin one is 'cool', the heavy one is 'mash', the light one is 'drunk', the sweet one is 'liquor', the bitter one is 'vinegar', the red one is 'awake', the green one is 'drunk', and so on. As for the two types of wine, 'crisp' and 'sugar' are made from special grains and rice, which is really the best of the best!"

Wei Chifeng, whose eyebrows were fluttering, said wildly, but the listeners looked at each other. They are not greedy people, and for them there are only two kinds of wine in the world - the good and the bad, so you know that there are these particularities.

"That's not right, the names of the two kinds of wine are three words, and the word 'drunk' at the beginning?" Zhao Xianglin asked.

"If you open a wine shop, of course, you have to talk about a good fortune. Both kinds of fine wine happen to start with the word 'drunk', so they are deliberately not written, taking the meaning of 'no drunk, no return'. Yu Chifeng seemed to have opened his mind all of a sudden, and he asked the man in black again, "Drunken and drunken are both rare and good wines, and both are sold here?"

"Exactly. ”

"Tsk, sure enough. How can a shop that dares to open at the end of the wine alley not have a little good wine?" Yu Chifeng licked his dry lips and pushed the closed window. But the windows were already closed from the inside.

"If it's a best-selling product, why is it closed at dusk? And this wine table, it's clear that no one has patronized it for a long time. Xiao Tianhe was puzzled.

"Could it be that the wine is scarce and sold out early?" He Tianyao guessed, "The wine shop has no wine to sell, so of course it will be closed." ”

The man in black greeted a few people warmly: "If you don't dislike it, come and sit down." ”

family

Warmly invited, everyone was inconvenient to refuse, and they all walked over to sit down around the table, and the small wine table was suddenly crowded. Xiao Er brought over a few more cups, and the man in black politely poured a cup for everyone. "Taste it, the taste of this 'Rose Spring' is not as wonderful as that of drunken and drunken, but it is also a well-known wine. ”

Listening to the man in black recommending this, even Hua Qingyu, who doesn't like to drink very much, tasted it with great interest.

It is mellow in the mouth, slippery into the stomach, and full of aftertaste, which is indeed a rare wine.

Wei Chifeng looked at the wine glass: "Well, that's good." If it weren't for the drunken and drunk, maybe this would be the best bar here?" he thought about the two better wines.

The man in black took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "The central area of this Red Lotus Mountain Domain is rich in attribute gems, but the canyons on both sides are fertile land. The water in the valley on the west side comes from the ground, which is clear and cool, while the water in the valley on the east side flows down from the mountain, there are few trees on the mountain, and there are few clouds in the sky. In addition, there is a lack of wind in the canyon, so the east and west valleys have become excellent places for growing and brewing two special grains of rice for drunken crispy and drunken sugar. Therefore, this is probably the only city in the world where you can easily taste these two fine wines, and if they are sold out, it is basically unlikely. The shopkeeper had been summoned to the Red Emperor's Mansion a month earlier, so the door was always closed. If it's normal times, hehe, I'm afraid you won't be able to squeeze into the alleys. ”

Referring to the Chixi Emperor's Mansion, Yu Chifeng temporarily put away the gluttonous worms in his stomach: "What, is the Chixi Emperor planning to put on a big banquet?"

"Exactly. The Emperor's Feast for His Wife begins tonight. ”

"Poof-", the wine that Yu Chifeng had just poured into his mouth suddenly squirted out again, "Marry, marry, marry, marry? Am I not mistaken? Doesn't he already have a second wife, thirty-six concubines, and seventy-two maids?

Zhao Xianglin hurriedly stepped on him under the table, and it was better to say less disrespectful words on other people's territory.

"Hahaha," the man in black laughed heartily, "it's like you're drinking fine wine, when you're not enough?"

Wei Chifeng is really irrefutable.

"Brother Tai, I don't know what the name of the new wife of the Emperor Chixi is, and where does it come from?" Xiao Tianhe hurriedly asked. Beautiful, trapped, lustful, and marrying a wife, these words made it easy for him to associate this matter with Ye Linglong's matter.

"This ...... I don't know very well. Why does Brother Tai ask this question?"

"Just curious, just curious. I'm sorry. Xiao Tianhe also consciously asked something inappropriate.

"If you're curious, you can go to the Imperial Mansion to see the excitement in a while. As long as you are in Yanwu City, you can go to congratulate you, and everyone who arrives will have a wedding wine to drink! Everyone, thank you for drinking, there will be a period later!" After saying that, the man in black suddenly got up and jumped onto the roof and disappeared.

Zhao Xianglin said: "This person is really weird, he left suddenly." ”

"It was he who talked inexplicably, and he was the one who suddenly broke the flagpole of others, and he was the one who drank half of the wine and said he would leave. "Hua Qingyu said.

"Hey, don't worry, people who drink well are open-minded, otherwise how could people invite us to drink and reveal important news to us?" The man in black drank only half of the wine in the jar, and the rest was cheaper for him.

Zhao Xianglin persuaded: "Don't drink it, it's too much of a mistake to drink!"

"Haha, girl, you don't know me, the more I drink, the more neat I work!"

"I don't believe it, people who drink too much can't talk about it. Zhao Xianglin shook his head, "Alas, we are also unlucky, but tonight the Emperor's Mansion is going to hold a happy event, and all the friends of the Emperor Chixi will be present at that time, and the people in the city are mixed, it seems that the matter of saving people will have to wait for a while." ”

He Tianyao said: "The emperor's wedding banquet is not necessarily only one night, if it is lively, it is possible for ten days and half a month." Didn't you listen to the man just now, 'The Emperor's Banquet for His Wife Begins Tonight'. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to stay in Flame Crossbow City for a long time. Brother Tianxiao, the reason why you asked the man in black that question just now is because you suspect that the new wife of the Emperor Chixi is Miss Ye?"

"Hmm. Xiao Tianhe nodded and said, "Think about it, Ji Yuqiu is a good woman, but most of the backyard ladies are 'concubines' or 'maids'. The person who can be qualified to be the 'wife of the Red Emperor' must be the appearance of the country and the city. Therefore, most of tonight's bride is Miss Ye. ”

"Then it's just the right time to act tonight, and I'll have to find out where Miss Ye is being held. "Wei Chi Feng said.

Hua Qingyu was surprised by Wei Chifeng's "boldness": "Are you going to make a big wedding banquet?"

"No, although there are many people in the way of the wedding banquet, it's good that we don't need to involve Ji Yuqiu, he is the groom's official, and he has involved himself. Miss Ye is the bride, after worshipping heaven and earth, she must be sent to the cave room to wait, the bridegroom official was drinking with all the friends in the hall at that time, isn't it a good opportunity to save people? And the goal has also become very clear, as long as you find the most festive room in the backyard, Miss Ye must be inside. ”

"Really...... In this way, it is very easy to save people. Zhao Xianglin had to admire, the master's vision of things is indeed unique.

"It's not that hard. "Wei Chifeng looks like he has a bamboo in his chest, "At that time, the entrance of the cave room will be a little broken at most, and it will not be enough to see at all." At that time, Brother Xiao and Miss Hua sneaked into the mansion, Brother He and Miss Zhao answered outside, and after picking up Miss Ye, they quickly left Yan Crossbow City. Heh, by the time Ji Yuqiu's old thing found out that the bride was missing, we would have already run away without a trace. Haha, Ji Yuqiu, Ji Yuqiu, you rely on your own strength, usually rob this daughter and plunder that girl, and I will let you have a good taste of the bride's abduction on the wedding night tonight! Come, drink, drink!"
