The three of them made their way north.

At first, in addition to asking Li Xuandu about the difficulties in cultivation, the little girl would also ask Yu Qingning some questions similar to "where is the Jade Girl Mountain or what is the Emperor Girl Peak like", and then after approaching the Longmen Mansion, which was once known as the "Eastern Capital" and the "Divine Capital", she began to be silent. The little girl is still young, she is not good at disguising her expression to hide her emotions, since she and Li Xuandu met, she has been very close to this brother who has no blood relationship but is better than blood relationship, and now she has arrived at Longmen Mansion, which means that the separation is imminent, how can she not be sentimental.

It's just that Li Xuandu didn't have any relief about this, and he was quite a bit of a natural.

After two more days of walking, we finally arrived.

Standing on the wide official road, you can see the majestic city wall of Longmen Mansion City when you look up, after all, this was once the ancient capital of several dynasties, whether it is scale or regulation, in fact, it is not inferior to today's imperial capital.

Li Xuandu stopped and looked.

It's really a big city, but this city is a little old, the twilight is slightly heavier, after years of accumulation, there are still three points of wealth and three points of honor, like the flower king peony that has bloomed in the city for more than a thousand years. However, when you know the autumn, you can imagine what a glorious scene it should have been when it was at its peak, worthy of being the former capital of the Thirteen Dynasties.

After waiting for a while, Yu Qingning asked softly, "Purple Mansion, do you want to enter the city?"

Li Xuandu came back to his senses and said softly: "Enter the city." ”

Longmen Mansion, as the ancient Central Plains, is also the "Central Plains" in the mouth of the people in the rivers and lakes, only here can add a "middle" word, other places, either the Western Regions, the northwest, or Jiangnan, Lingnan, or Jiangbei, Liaobei, even if the capital of a country has moved to the north, for the people in the rivers and lakes, this is still in the world, after all, for ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, and the imperial court has always been well water does not violate the river water, and the imperial capital is more like a place that is quite distant and try not to set foot in it, so it has become a holy place in the minds of countless ordinary people in the rivers and lakes.

Especially in the Longmen Mansion City, in addition to the Vientiane School Palace with Confucianism, almost all other sects, regardless of good or evil, have branches and courtyards here, such as the Xiaozhen Mansion of Zhengyi Sect, the Qingping Garden of Taiping Sect, the Yanyu Building of Qingwei Sect, the Aoki Xuan of Donghua Sect, the Miaoyin Pavilion of Xuannu Sect, the Yinu Pavilion of Xuannu Sect, etc., without exception.

However, Li Xuandu entered the city this time, but he had no intention of going to any other courtyard to settle down, and Yu Qingning did not force him, and accompanied him to the largest inn in the city, Mingsheng Inn.

Speaking of Mingsheng Inn, it is also famous in a huge Longmen Mansion, occupies a convenient area, is located on the street opposite the Vientiane School Palace, and I don't know how many people go to the Vientiane School Palace to study or pay homage in a year, and when they are not allowed to enter or wait, they will meet and rest here, and there are many people in the School Palace who are close to the wine and talk about things. Most of them are extravagant, and it is said that they don't order wine and food, and only a pot of good tea costs twenty taels of silver. Relying on this business, I made a lot of money that I couldn't spend in a few lifetimes, and then bought the surrounding shops one after another, opened it up, expanded the scale of the inn again and again, and carefully decorated, separated by many luxurious private rooms on the second floor, and the lobby on the first floor was also separated from each other by screens, so that the guests who came here could drink and talk.

At the same time, there is a very interesting phenomenon in Mingsheng Inn, the quality of its business is related to whether there are major events in the rivers and lakes, such as two great masters in the world agreed to gamble in Longmen Mansion, or there are celebrities and scholars who hold a meeting in Vientiane Palace, there will definitely be many people who come here to book a private room several days in advance, and then they can drink here while waiting to see the excitement. At this time, the price of this restaurant has doubled compared to usual, the gold and silver in the counter are like flowing water, day and night do not stop, the sun and the moon are bright, Mingsheng Inn has to go up, so the people in Longmen Mansion say that the innkeeper has a good name.

This inn is also the place where Li Xuandu and Zhang Luanshan set a meeting.

Fortunately, nothing major has happened recently, so the price of Mingsheng Inn has not risen yet, and Li Xuandu spent twenty taels of silver to ask for a pot of Junshan silver needles - here, no matter what kind of tea, even if it is the tea powder known as "full of stars", it is also two taels of silver, because only if you ask for tea, you can go to a private room.

After Li Xuandu set a private room, he took out a "sub-talisman" from the "eighteenth floor" and burned out, and the "mother talisman" was in Zhang Luanshan's hands, and the two agreed in the letter that after Li Xuandu arrived at the Mingsheng Inn, he would burn the "sub-talisman" sent with the letter, and then Zhang Luanshan would come to the Mingsheng Inn to meet.

About two hours later, a man dressed as a scribe in Tsing Yi and a woman with a mediocre appearance came to the lobby of the Mingsheng Inn, asking if there was a guest surnamed Li, and a guy immediately led the two through the bustling lobby, to the second floor, and came to the second floor.

According to reason, it should be the guy who opened the door and let the two of them in, but the guy didn't mean to open the door, he reached out and grabbed the knocker but didn't push it open, half of his body bowed to the door, and his face was full of smiles: "The two guest officers wait, let the little one go in and report first." ”

That being said, the guy didn't have the slightest intention of moving.

The scribe in Tsing Yi has lived in Longmen Mansion for a long time, and this is not the first time he has come to this Mingsheng Inn, so he naturally knows that this guy is begging for a reward, and his eyes can't help but pass a touch of disgust.

The woman beside her was here for the first time, staring at the guy and asking with a smile, "Let's be straight, how much silver do you want?"

"The guest officer saw it. The guy didn't have stage fright, and said with a sly smile on his face: "Our Mingsheng Inn has been open for some years, and one or two silver has always been at this price." ”

The woman took out a piece of broken silver from her sleeve, threw it to the man, and said, "Open the door." ”

The man took the money, but his body was still in the wayway, and he reached out and grabbed the knocker of the other door as if he wanted to push it, and it was evident that the two doors would be rewarded twice.

The smile on the woman's face slowly retracted, and she took out a copper coin from her sleeve and threw it at the man's feet, "That's all the money, open the door." ”

The reason why this Mingsheng Restaurant dares to act like this is because it has the background of several sacrificial wines in the Vientiane School Palace, so even the guys are very arrogant, not only are they used to eating ordinary students in the school palace on weekdays, but even the outsiders in the rivers and lakes may as well be in their eyes, a few have been so humiliated, at this time they are also angry, and they want to grab the woman's clothes when they raise their hands, but they are caught by the woman's shoulders and can't move. Then the woman grabbed the back of his neck with her other hand, pulled his head over, and whispered in his ear: "Do you want silver? Is it enough to exchange a human head for one or two pieces of silver? ”

The guy was scared at this time, but he was pinched by his neck, and the words squeezed out of his throat were a little unfavorable: "Little no, don't dare to ......"

The woman was still pinching his neck, like pinching a chicken cub, "Miss Ben is still worried that you don't dare, I want to see which Xuegong priest has fought hard and don't come to stand up for you." ”

When the man heard the woman call the backstage of the inn, he was suddenly shocked and trembled: "This little lady is the ...... in the school palace."

The woman let go of her hand and said expressionlessly: "Don't worry, I'm not from the Vientiane Academy, you can go to your boss now, and just say that the people from the Maiden Sect have come here to smash the field, okay?"

When the guy heard the words "Lady Sect", he suddenly felt that the woman's origin was big, and he trembled: "No, no...... Okay, the villain knows it's wrong...... Don't dare...... Don't dare to chew your tongue. ”

As he spoke, the guy knelt on the ground with a "poof", picked up the copper coin with trembling fingers, and presented it to the woman along with the previous one or two pieces of silver: "Since it is a noble person of the Maiden Sect, the small shop naturally does not dare to accept the money, and he should know and return it all." ”

The woman didn't reach out to take it, and said with disgust: "Get out." ”

The man was pardoned, but he did not dare to covet the money in his hand, so he first put it on the ground, and then got up and hurried out.

"Stop. The woman stopped him again, "Don't you look down on my bounty?"

The man's face suddenly froze, and without saying a word, he picked up the silver and copper coins on the ground, and saw the woman wave his sleeves, so he cautiously stepped back.
