Volume 1 The Long Night Chapter 62 The Loneliness of the Night

As soon as I entered the inn, behind the delicate vermilion counter stood the energetic shopkeeper, the shopkeeper's surname was Nian, the ancestors were in business for three generations, and the grandfather's generation moved from the south to the north, and took root here.

Changqing looked around slightly, looking at the lively lobby on the first floor, a few running halls were busy, and Changqing even saw many famous dishes of Nanzhao on the food card, such as Huizhou Wenchang chicken, royal blood-colored official swallow, golden jade bird Chaofeng and so on.

Sure enough, it smells like money.

He asked the shopkeeper surnamed Nian for an upper room, and soon there was an empty guy leading him upstairs, Changqing looked at the little guy who led the way in front, this little guy looked like a northerner, but looked back in three steps, occasionally chatted two sentences, heard that it was a young man from Nanzhao, and immediately said that our shopkeeper was also half of Nanzhao, Changqing couldn't help but sigh, the level of this inn is indeed very high, even the guys at the bottom are deeply involved in the way of doing business, the so-called regular customers, but not just chatting and chatting to get acquainted.

The little guy approached Changqing and whispered:

"Originally, the shopkeeper meant to take the son to the second floor wing room to stay, but I think the son has a noble temperament, so he has to go to the private room on the third floor. ”

Changqing frowned when he heard this, and the little guy immediately said:

"Childe doesn't know, the wing of our small shop, that is the more up the more exquisite, I don't know if you know that there is a royal garden opposite, that garden is amazing, that is our Beiyou royal exclusive garden, you go up to the third floor to overlook that, the beautiful scenery is in full view, and the scenery alone is worth the house money. ”

Changqing's brows furrowed slightly, and he smiled slightly:

"In this case, let's go to the third floor, the house price has to be several times more expensive. β€œ

The little guy said with a happy face:

"Childe, you go up to the third floor to know, to our secluded capital, even if you don't go anywhere, just live on the third floor of our Wanglong Inn, it's already worth the trip, do you know why our inn is called Wanglong Inn, hey, you will know when you stay, many foreign guests, have lived in our place, next time you come, we will be here." ”

Changqing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled very happily.

The little guy didn't know why for a while, so he laughed twice, and then led Changqing to the third floor.

Changqing just remembered that all the way, the merchant in this inn had the strongest flavor and the best business, and he had seen such a powerful businessman in Nanzhao, but he didn't expect to see it in this secluded capital, and he was in a much better mood.

The third floor is indeed beyond the imagination of the evergreen luxury, a side room outside the carpet with felt, walking on the road, there is some sense of luxury, and indeed as the little guy said, the corridor on the third floor can overlook the Beijing view, the first thing that jumps into the eye is the royal garden, it is indeed called ingenious, the scenery is unique, there are forests and seas such as waves, there are more flowers, the small bridge between the rocks and the flowing water is tactful, you can vaguely see the water law platform with double dragons playing with pearls in the middle of the garden, it may be that there is no one in the garden, the water law is not opened, I want to come to this garden has not been opened for a long time, and it has become the forgotten thing of the royal family in the north。

Farther away, Changqing can even see the outline of the palace, according to the introduction of the little guy at this time, that is the palace of Beiyou, Damingde Palace.

There is a building that towers straight into the sky on Longteng Mountain behind the Great Mingde Palace, and that is the altar of the hidden capital of the Ming King Sect.

......

The moonlight will always pass through the obscurations of the clouds, slowly descending on the whole world, and when it falls on the 999-step ladder of the altar of the Ming King Sect, from time to time there will be a devout believer kneeling on the ground and shouting the glory of the Ming King.

At the end of this ladder is the altar of the Ming King Sect in the quiet capital that Beiyou spent a lot of money to build, at this time on the steps in front of the Ming King Sect Altar sat a tall figure, the shape of a mountain-like person, because the face was full of fat, so there was no emotion, no gender.

Next to this hill-like figure stood a middle-aged man with a skinny face like ash, but he was emaciated as if he was blown down by the wind, but he carried a broad giant sword on his back. It looks like a bamboo pole carrying a sword, unimaginably funny, but these two people are wearing gold-edged sun and moon robes that symbolize supreme glory, and the white robe is waving in the wind, but the thin man's robe flutters a little violently, so the hunting sounds, and the mountain-like figure, the robe is only slightly shaking.

"Chi Chi, you're a little badly injured. The mountain-like figure spoke, and the voice was very magnetic and magical.

Chi someone, who was carrying the giant sword, coughed lightly and said with a smile:

"I'm fine, I had a fight with that pretentious guy in Tianhai Pavilion, and I didn't hurt him. ”

The mountain-like figure reached out and gently poked someone in the pool, who was almost unsteady on his feet, and glanced at the mountain-like figure with some annoyance, the latter just smiled, and the person in the pool didn't have that good intentions, shook his hand and continued:

"Tomorrow is King Ming's birthday, and it is said that the old man will also come back. ”

The mountain-like figure just sighed, and this voice revealed a little boring emotion.

The moonlight sprinkled on the two of them, enveloping them with a layer of holy brilliance, and in the distance, a believer knelt down at the two of them with an excited expression.

To that believer, these two were the Grand Duke, one of the two most respected in the Ming King Sect.

But no one knows, these two Grand Dukes have been boring for many years, and when they became Grand Dukes one day more than ten years ago, they have always felt this way, why do they feel this way?

"The Holy City has been empty for too long, don't you think, Duke Flare. Chi someone, who was emaciated, said.

Bright Sun looked up, because he was too fat, he looked like he had no neck, but this couldn't stop him from looking at the moonlight.

"Qinglong Gong is there, so it's not empty. Bright Sun said slowly, as if he still couldn't lift his energy.

Chi someone snorted coldly and said:

"You guys are just lazy to live, I must ask the Great Elder this time to understand, when will he find an heir, isn't there a match for us in the four kilometers, or does he want to dominate the title of the first person in the Ming King Sect, even so, he has been dominating for too long." ”

Seeing that the fat meat had not moved for a long time, Chi was a little annoyed, he didn't understand why the Great Elder wanted to find such an unmotivated fat meat to sit in the position of the Grand Duke.

Angry Chi walked down the mountain step by step, and the voice of the Bright Sun Gong came from behind him:

"If you are disrespectful to the Great Elder, you will die. ”

The magnetic voice tone did not have any mood fluctuations, as if to indicate that there would be a sun in the morning, and supper would eat knife noodles.

Chi someone didn't mean to stop, and when he slowly passed by the worshipper, he sighed and said:

"May King Ming bless you. ”

The latter wept bitterly.

......

The north gate of the secluded capital

A stray dog had just finished a hard day's life, but today he finally picked up a piece of meat, and although he had been carried countless feet for a piece of meat, it was all worth it, and he was hiding under the corner of the city wall to eat the somewhat rotten pork.

But who would have thought that a man would emerge from the walls of this good city, and this person would trample its hard-earned delicacy to the ground.

And the hateful human who came out of the city wall like a wisp of green smoke still smirked at himself, as a senior stray dog who had been in the Northern Youdu City for several years, he naturally knew that he should admit it, grinned at the hateful man, and then decisively turned around and fled into the deep alley.

The old man in the shoulder rubbed his eyes, took a deep breath of air, and said with emotion:

"Youdu, I haven't been back for a long time."

......

Changqing suddenly had a sense of luxury like a poor boy suddenly getting rich, and the little guy who brought him into the wing room had a smug look on his face, obviously more than once he encountered a wonderful expression of a young girl like Changqing in the face of the best Oiran.

The little guy said with a smug look on his face:

"The wing room on the third floor of the small shop has the elegance of Nanzhao Jiangnan, the mystery of our north, and the roughness of Xiliang. ”

Changqing nodded, he saw a set of Nanzhao very famous purple sand tea set, the details are also dotted with a lot of jade and jade, the screen is a copy of Nanzhao He Yuxiang snow swallow thousand mountains, there are also skilled craftsmen carved Huanghuali tables and chairs in the room, due to the late summer night of the cold capital is gradually prevailing, that looks the same Huanghuali bed on the bed is a thin quilt made of I don't know what beast fur.

The sandalwood on the table invisibly diffused throughout the room, and after Changqing was slightly stunned, he put away the shocked look of the poor boy, turned around and took out a small piece of broken silver and handed it to the little man.

The little maid was still worried that the guest would not know if he could still give some tips after paying for the room, but at this time, his worries disappeared, and he suddenly became more and more enthusiastic.

Changqing waved his hand and sent the little maid away, sat on the soft stool of yellow rosewood, and poured a cup of tea on the table, the tea was warm, not hot or cold, and he couldn't help but feel that the silver flowers were really different.

It was still early, and Changqing already felt that he had stayed here for a few days before going to the Northland to find the dragon, and that there was such a lively crowd in the city just now, it was obvious that something big had happened.

But when the little guy was there just now, I forgot to inquire in detail.

Changqing pushed open the door, crossed the corridor, leaned on the side of the corridor, the garden in the distance had a faint brilliance, and it was even more quiet, thinking that it was the maid left by the empress to clean the garden.

He looked up at the sky, which seemed higher than the south, and suddenly it occurred to him that sometimes people's thoughts are always so sudden, and once they were born, they wanted to do it.

At this time, the night is the best cover, he inhaled slowly, suppressed the little dryness in his heart, and restrained his breath.

Looking at both sides of the corridor, the night is not deep at this time, and the identity of living on the third floor is either rich or expensive, how can he go back to this inn so early to rest, and there is no one in most of the rooms.

Only in the deepest room, occasionally some ambiguous sounds slowly floated out through the crack in the door, if ordinary people would not hear these sounds, but unfortunately Changqing's ears are keen to always hear this annoying sound that should not be heard.

Gathering his mind, he jumped onto the guardrail of the corridor.

A moment later, a gust of wind blew outside the Wanglong Inn, and with this gust of wind, a shadow fell silently into the luxurious and precious garden.
