There is no word for one day, and the next day is Chongyang.

A year ago today, the heroes of the rivers and lakes held the Central Plains Martial Arts Conference in Huashan.

At that time, Luo Tianjin's dragon Xingyun belonged to the dragon, the tiger roared, and the scenery was unique for a while. Liu Xunyi's skills in Huashan on the sword platform were shocking and shining, coupled with Luo Tianjin's public announcement of recruiting him as his son-in-law, he immediately became a hot figure in the Central Plains martial arts.

Unexpectedly, a year later, Luo Tianjin's name has gradually faded out of the Central Plains martial arts, and Liu Xunyi has also plummeted from a high-profile martial arts star to a traitor and thief who is spurned by everyone.

As the saying goes, "Feng Shui takes turns, thirty years in the east of the river and thirty years in the west of the river." Now it's just a short year, Liu Xunyi has come from "Hedong" to "Hexi", the world is impermanent, changing fast, can't help but make people feel emotional, sigh infinitely.

In the morning, Qingfeng, who lived in a simple place, walked out of the inn with Lone Star and Lone Moon for the first time and came to a teahouse called "Gu Fengxuan" in the north of Lin'an City.

Gu Fengxuan is nominally a teahouse, but in fact, it has everything to eat, drink and play.

This area is one of the most prosperous areas in Lin'an City, with wine shops and teahouses lined up one after another, but unlike West Lake Langyuan, the business here is the upper class of the upper class in terms of scale, grade and connotation, and the cost is not comparable to West Lake Langyuan. For the same pot of wine, the price of the two places may be several times or even dozens of times.

Such as "Gu Fengxuan" under the guise of a tea house, in fact, it implies that there are countless sales of wine cellars, restaurants, green houses, and gambling houses.

However, the guests here are mainly dignitaries and dignitaries in Lin'an City, and ordinary people rarely set foot in it, and naturally few people know that most of the "wine shops" and "tea houses" on this street have a good fortune.

"The three Taoist masters have prepared high-grade fragrant tea for you, please go to the private room on the second floor!"

With the enthusiastic greetings of the guys, the three of them went upstairs and seemed to be prepared.

A moment later, a handsome boy from the wind of the jade tree swaggered into Gu Fengxuan, looked around, and walked towards the second floor with his feet raised.

This person is Li Haitang in disguise.

"Stay here!"

A guy with clear eyebrows hurriedly stopped Li Haitang's way, looked him up and down, and asked with a smile: "The guest officer looked at Miansheng, shouldn't he be a regular customer of this store?"

"What?" Li Haitang raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that your teahouse only entertains regular customers?"

"Open the door to do business, and naturally entertain visitors from all over the world. It's just that the store has rules, and the upstairs private room only entertains regular customers, and the guest officer comes for the first time...... Please be seated in the lobby. ”

Although the guy has been smiling all the time, his tone and demeanor are vaguely arrogant, as if he disdains Li Haitang's business.

"Regular customer?" Li Haitang glanced at the second floor meaningfully, and asked rhetorically, "What kind of regular customer?"

"At least...... It costs 1,000 taels of silver in our shop. ”

"A thousand ......" the man's answer almost made Li Haitang's jaw drop, "Who can drink a thousand taels of silver when drinking tea?"

"Don't blame the guest officer, this is the rule of our store. ”

Looking at the guy who was smiling and not smiling, and then weighed the purse on his waist with his hand, Li Haitang, who was originally confident, had no momentum, and under the guidance of the guy's "enthusiasm", he walked to a table in the corner of the lobby with a disgraced face.

"What kind of tea does the guest drink?"

In the face of the guy's yin and yang weirdness, Li Haitang was not angry, but he had no way to vent, so he deliberately made things difficult: "My son likes Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoots, do you have them?"

"The guest officer is so tasteful!" the guy's eyes lit up, and the smile on his face gradually became earnest, "Our store has just arrived with a batch of new tea from Huzhou, among which there are good Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots, and the guest officer will wait for ......."

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing that the guy readily agreed, Li Haitang couldn't help but panic in his heart, and asked hesitantly, "That...... How much is a pot?"

"The price of tea in our store has always been undeceiving, and Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoots are one hundred and eighty taels a pot. ”

"One hundred and eighteen...... Eighty taels?" Li Haitang was shocked, smacking his tongue again and again, and he didn't want to be seen as a joke by the guy, so he hurriedly perfunctory, "Let's have a pot of camellia to rinse my mouth first." ”

"Wait, officer. ”

The guy seemed to be accustomed to this kind of scene, said yes, and turned to leave.

Li Haitang looked left and right, and saw that there were few guests in the lobby, and couldn't help muttering secretly in his heart: "Qingfeng and the three of them have not been out of the inn gate for many days, why are they here today? What's even more strange is that Qingfeng is far away in Wudang, how can he be a regular customer here?"

"Guest officer, camellia three two and one pot. ”

After a while, the guy came to the front with a pot of camellia, and at the same time interrupted Li Haitang's thoughts.

"This ......"

Looking at the camellia that he drank casually for a penny elsewhere, Li Haitang at this time was like a dumb person eating Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering.

However, when he was unwilling to put his hand into his purse, more than a dozen Wudang disciples with swords in their hands rushed into Gu Fengxuan, whispered to the men who greeted him, and then ran towards the second floor in a swarm.

This scene shocked Li Haitang, and his doubts were even worse.

"Guest officer, tea money ......"

"Oh!"

Li Haitang, who was full of ape, took out ten taels of silver from his purse and threw it on the table.

"Guest officer, this is ......"

"Tea money, more reward for you. ”

"Thank you, guest! Thank you, guest!"

Seeing Li Haitang's generous move, the guy couldn't help but smile and bow his hand to him again and again.

"My son has just arrived, and I don't know much about the customs and customs of Lin'an, can I bother the second brother to give me advice?"

"It's easy to say! It's easy to say!" the guy saw that Qian was open-eyed, and he would answer all questions, "What does the guest officer want to ask?"

"Your teahouse is extraordinary, and the shopkeeper must be a big man. ”

"What the guest official said is good, the proprietor of Gu Fengxuan is Dongshan Firm. ”

"It turned out to be the business of 'the richest man in the Great Song Dynasty'. Li Haitang nodded with a smile, and asked absent-mindedly, "By the way, those people just now...... Also a regular customer of your store?"

"No, no, no, they were all guests of Lord Bai, and the little one was the first time they had seen him. ”

"Lord Bai?" Li Haitang said suspiciously, "Which Lord Bai?"

"Xifu Zhong Lang, Lord Bai Jinbai. At the mention of Bai Jin, the man's eyes subconsciously revealed a trace of awe.

"Oh!"

Li Haitang pretended to be plain on the surface, but in fact, he had set off turbulent waves in his heart. He never expected that Qingfeng would have an affair with the imperial court.

"Guest officer, this money ......"

"Just take it!" Li Haitang handed ten taels of silver to the man, took out a few taels of silver from his purse, stuffed them into his hand, and said, "So, this Lord Bai is a regular customer of your store?"

"Who in Lin'an City doesn't know that our guests in Gu Fengxuan are all from the emperor's relatives to the gentry and wealthy families. The guy was smug and talked eloquently, "The identity of any guest upstairs is not simple. ”

"So many 'big guys' are regular customers of your store, so you are not simple. ”

"In terms of the dignity of the guests, our Gu Fengxuan is not a leader in Lin'an, and the real power is our 'own brothers'. ”

"Oh?" the guy said this, which immediately aroused Li Haitang's interest, "How do you say this?"

The guy smiled mysteriously, turned around and pointed towards the door, and said proudly: "The 'Jingyun Pavilion' across the street is a place that even Prince Rong frequents. ”

"Jingyun Pavilion?"

Li Haitang looked up in the direction of the guy's finger, but saw that across the street was a carved beam hanging Zhu Pavilion Green Building, there was a pair of lifelike unicorns in front of the door, and a red plaque was hung on the lintel, and the dragon flying and phoenix dancing in the plaque were inscribed with three gilded characters of "Jingyun Pavilion", which was really extraordinary.

"The tiger roars and the valley wind comes, and the dragon lifts and the scenery goes. Jingyun Pavilion and Gu Fengxuan belong to the same Dongshan firm, but Jingyun Pavilion is more mysterious than Gu Fengxuan. It only entertained court officials, not ordinary people. In other words, as long as we have money in Gu Fengxuan, we can enjoy it to the fullest, but in Jingyun Pavilion...... Not only to have money, but also to have power. ”

"I see. Li Haitang thought about Qingfeng and Bai Jin's secret collusion, and had no intention of entanglement with his buddy, "You go and get busy!"

"Guest, please!"

The guy happily took the money and walked away, but Li Haitang frowned, and repeatedly pondered the relationship between Qingfeng and Xifu in his heart.

For a while, the more he thought about it, the more strange he became, and the more he thought about it, the more worried he became. Although he didn't know Qingfeng's true intentions, Li Haitang had a sense of foreboding in his subconscious.

"No, it's a big deal, I have to tell Brother Liu as soon as possible. ”

Thinking of this, Li Haitang could no longer care about tasting the expensive "camellia", suddenly got up, and walked towards the door worriedly.

"Bang!boom!"

However, before Li Haitang stepped out of Gu Fengxuan's gate, there was a sudden sound of gongs on the street.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen carriages and more than a dozen sedan chairs slowly came in the huge battle of the Gonggong and the guards of the armor, and stopped in front of the Jingyun Pavilion one after another, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.

"With such a big formation, it must be which official master is feasting guests in Jingyun Pavilion. ”

"Look, the person at the head seems to be Lord Rong, and the little prince. ”

"What's more, Lord Jia from the East Mansion and Lord Qian from the West Mansion are also here......

"Huh, that's not Li Yuanwai in the west of the city and Master Zhao in Dongguan, and they also have their families......

"What day is today? Jingyun Pavilion has gathered so many great masters at once......"

......

Looking at the red-faced, brightly dressed men, women and children, many good people on the street began to discuss.

Although these people are not all court officials, they are all big names in Lin'an City without exception.

In front of the bustling Jingyun Pavilion, people who came one after another gave each other hands and greeted each other, and the scene was very lively.

Li Haitang, who was preoccupied, had no interest in the excitement in front of him, and wanted to turn away, but he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, which made him pause and subconsciously look at it.

When he recognized the person's appearance, he couldn't help but stare in his eyes and secretly doubt. In a trance, Li Haitang thought of Qingfeng on the second floor of Gu Fengxuan and the Wudang disciple holding a sharp blade, and his heart sank, and his face instantly turned pale as paper.

On the other side of the street, Liu Xunyi, who was full of spring breeze, was chatting and laughing enthusiastically with the officials and people, and slowly walked into the Jingyun Pavilion among the stars and the moon.
