Volume 3 The Expeditionary Force Chapter 74 The Heart of the People is Sinister and the City of Floating Clouds
Nothing to say for a night.
At noon the next day, someone knocked on the door, and Han Changming released his divine sense, and found that the knocker was wearing the clothes of a disciple of the Xia family.
Han Changming waved his hand, the door of the room opened without wind, and the person who came really claimed to be a disciple of the Xia family, and he sincerely invited Han Changming to go to the restaurant for a banquet, saying that Miss Xia set up a banquet in the 'Four Seasons Restaurant', not only to thank him for saving his life, but also for his first time here.
Han Changming also happened to want to know about the situation in Xia Kingdom, so he got into a carriage with this disciple.
In the car, listening to the introduction of this Xia family's disciple, this restaurant is called 'Four Seasons Restaurant', don't look at the name is mediocre, but it is quite famous among the monks in this city, because the restaurant is only open to immortal cultivators, and never does mortal business.
Han Changming went directly to the second floor, and when he saw Xia Jiuchai and the other children of the Xia family, they had already prepared a table of delicacies, just waiting for Han Changming to take a seat, they expressed their gratitude to Han Changming for sacrificing his life to lead away the bird demon, and they were also amazed that Han Changming was able to get out safely under the pursuit of the bird demon.
Xia Jiuchai's appearance was a little different from yesterday, Han Changsheng felt that she was much better looking than yesterday, probably because she was chased by demon beasts yesterday and was more embarrassed, and when she participated in the banquet today, she must have dressed up carefully.
Han Changming only found out at this time that in fact, this Xia Jiuchai was a girl, she was dressed more maturely yesterday, and she was wearing a strong suit at that time, which was probably more convenient for performing tasks. 、
And today she is wearing a plain pale gold long dress, with two golden hairpin patterns on the left and right cuffs, her whole body is full of youth and charm, a pair of curved willow eyebrows, and her smile is really full of spring in her eyebrows, and her smile makes the children of the Xia family who are accompanying her look crazy.
When Han Changming and the people of the Xia family were drinking and chatting, they learned that the Xia family was also a big family with a head and face in Fuyun City, and the contemporary patriarch of the Xia family was a master of the Dan period, and gave birth to nine daughters, the eldest was called Xia Yichai, and the old Jiuxia Jiuchai.
The person who was attacked by the bird demon with Xia Jiuchai yesterday was her cousin.
Han Changming nodded, although the naming method like Xia Jiuchai is relatively rare, it is not unseen, and Zhou Guo has a similar and naming method before.
In addition, the people of the Xia family heard that Han Changming was good, and he also had the intention of making friends and disturbing him, and the two sides ate very happily, especially the homemade spirit wine in this restaurant, for paper repair, it is known as 'three cups of drunk', so after a full meal, even Han Changsheng was a little drunk, and he was ready to go back to the inn to rest.
The people of the Xia family told Han Changming that they had ordered several carriages in advance, and also arranged a separate one for Han Changming, and the drivers of these carriages were all Qi refining period cultivators, and only by riding in this kind of carriage could the Xia family's respect for Han Changming be reflected.
Just when everyone got into the car, they found that Han Changming was still in the restaurant, and he didn't come out for a long time.
So Xia Jiuchai and his entourage returned to the second floor to take a look, Han Changming was actually stopped by the people from the Four Seasons Restaurant, and asked Han Changsheng to pay the bill before leaving.
"Bastard, haven't we already paid? How can you make our Xia family's distinguished guests pay, your Four Seasons Restaurant is asking us to pay twice, and it is not possible to blackmail our distinguished guests?"
Several children of the Xia family scolded the waiters of the restaurant on the spot.
Seeing that the situation was big, the shopkeeper of the Four Seasons Restaurant, this obscene and shrewd old man, stopped what he was doing and hurriedly ran over to play a round.
"It's really a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding, it's all because our waiter is blind, you, why don't you go to the room to chop firewood?!"
The shopkeeper was scolding loudly at the waiter who had stopped Han Changming just now.
"After all, our Xia family is a family of immortal cultivators with a head and a face in Fuyun City, even if the forces behind this Four Seasons Restaurant are not small, but you can't bully people like this, right? Seeing our Xia family's distinguished guests, they actually stopped and wanted to pay again? Is this going to be the enemy of the Xia family?"
Seeing the shopkeeper apologize, the children of the Xia family didn't dare to offend the Four Seasons Restaurant too much after all, so a group of people scolded and went downstairs, and the shopkeeper laughed all the way and bent down to send everyone out.
Until everyone got into the carriage, the children of the Xia family were still discussing the matter, some people said that they were going to go around breaking the news about it, so that this Four Seasons Restaurant would lose its reputation, and some people said that they would want this restaurant to be blacklisted in the future and no longer take care of its business.
In short, everyone's opinion is unanimous, they all think that this restaurant is definitely deliberate, and it is certainly not the first time that they have so tricked customers, they must often stop outsiders and ask to pay again.
Han Chang got into the separate carriage, and at this time, the carriage master, an old man on the third floor of the Qi refining period, after he heard about the restaurant's behavior, he also scolded indignantly, saying that this Four Seasons Restaurant had simply lost the face of Fuyun City, no wonder Fuyun City's reputation was getting worse and worse, and it was looked down upon by people in the nearby immortal cultivation world, just because there were too many people who lacked virtue like the waiter of the Four Seasons Restaurant!
"I didn't expect that you are still a person with a sense of justice, with your words, my anger has disappeared a lot, if only the people in Floating Cloud City were like you. ”
Han Changming was more appreciative of this master's words, there are not many monks in the cultivation realm who have a conscience and dare to speak.
Along the way, Han Changming's carriage was relatively fast, and he threw off Xia Jiuchai's carriage, I don't know if it was because the carriage master saw Han Changming being humiliated and lost face, so the carriage master wanted to compensate Han Changming as a Fuyun person, so he hurried very hard.
Han Changsheng had already returned to the door of the inn, and before the people of the Xia family arrived, Han Changsheng asked, "Master, how many spirit stones do you need for the fare?"
"One spirit stone on ten miles of road, a total of five spirit stones!"
"What? From the Four Seasons Restaurant to this Taiping Inn, there are actually fifty miles, I went to the restaurant from the inn at first, how do I feel that I can't even travel ten miles?"
Han Changsheng hesitated a little, and wondered if there was something wrong with his perception, could it be that the Taiping Inn and the Four Seasons Restaurant, one is in the south of Fuyun City and the other is in the north of the city?
However, Han Changsheng thought about it, or he really remembered it wrongly, and five spirit stones were also small money, especially when this old master was so full of a sense of justice.
So Han Changsheng no longer cared about this matter, even if the travel expenses were counted more, it would be regarded as a tip for the other party, after all, the other party was a low-level monk in the Qi refining period, and it was not easy to earn some spirit stones in ordinary times.
At this time, Xia Jiuchai and his entourage's carriage finally arrived here, Xia Jiuchai saw Han Changsheng talking to the master, and had a bad premonition, so he shouted to Han Changsheng: "Brother Han, we have already prepaid the spirit stone in advance, you don't need to pay the fare anymore!"
"What? You have already paid for the spirit stone?" Han Changsheng was stunned, and turned his head to look at the old master with a sense of justice, "Hey, where is the car?
The depressed Han Changming waved his hand to Xia Jiuchai and the others, asking them to hurry back to Xia's house to rest, and then Han Changming walked into the wing of the inn.
Han Changsheng, who was a little drunk, seemed to feel that the travelers of this Taiping Inn had their eyes shining when they saw him, which made Han Changming's heart shudder, and the wine was a little sober, could it be that this Taiping Inn was a black shop?
After experiencing the Four Seasons Restaurant and the carriage master, Han Changsheng felt that this Floating Cloud City was really sinister, so his vigilance rose a lot.
However, with Han Changsheng's current cultivation, as long as he didn't meet the Yuan Infant Old Monster in Floating Cloud City and attack him, Han Changsheng wouldn't be too worried.
He returned to the room, locked the door, and lay on the bed, when suddenly a wave of spiritual wine surged up, and Han Changsheng fell asleep.
When he slept until midnight, he heard the sound of rustling in the room, like a mouse crawling, and Han Changming opened his eyes suddenly.
He actually saw a group of rats get into the storage bag on his body, and then ran out with spirit stones in their mouths.
It stands to reason that monks' storage bags come with their own prohibitions, and without the consent of their owners, they can usually only take out the contents of other people's storage bags by forcibly breaking the prohibition of the bag opening.
However, this group of rats was so good that they could get into the storage bag and steal the spirit stone without breaking the prohibition, but how did they manage to get into the storage bag directly.
Han Changming opened his eyes and saw that the door had been opened a gap, and the group of rats had already run out with spirit stones in their mouths.
Since these escaped rats were just ordinary rats, not like demon beasts, Han Changsheng didn't bother to shoot them to death, and he didn't care about a few spirit stones, so he didn't chase them, and Han Changsheng went back to sleep.
Unexpectedly, in the second half of the night, Han Changming secretly opened his eyes, and actually found that this group of rats had come to steal the spirit stone again, they thought that Han Changming was still sleeping, and this group of rats got into Han Changming's storage bag.
"You rats are killing themselves, and I've already given you a chance!"
Han Changming's fingers moved at this time, and after the group of rats drilled into the storage bag, the mouth of the bag was suddenly sealed, and then Han Changming cast another spell, and several spiritual powers flew into the storage bag, instantly piercing the bodies of this group of rats.
"Hey, where's the body of the mouse, how did it disappear out of thin air in the storage bag?"
At this time, Han Changsheng was surprised to find that there was no mouse corpse in the storage bag, he opened the door in confusion, walked out, and was shocked to find that all the passengers in this store had suddenly died, and the cultivation of these people before their lives was all in the Qi refining period.
"What does this mean?"
Han Changming said in shock, but he didn't care about the situation, so many monks died in Fuyun City at once, in case someone investigates it, it will be troublesome, so Han Changming's body flashed, flew out of the window, and hurriedly fled from the scene of the murder.
After escaping from the inn, Han Changsheng gradually inquired about people, only to know that there was a special kind of Qi Refining Stage cultivator in this Floating Cloud City, although his cultivation was not high, he could transform into many kinds of animals, and he was especially good at turning into the lowest level of rats, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false, and stealing the spirit stones of foreign monks.
