Purple Willow City is located in a corner of the northern border. The city is not big, the radius is only more than dozens of miles, only because the city is perennially planted with a kind of purple-leaved willow tree, all over the city, so it is named.

This purple-leaved willow tree is originally extremely rare, and it is a rare species in the dense forests of the high mountains, and it is extremely difficult to grow in large quantities. However, for some reason, it is only in this city that it can spread out and produce a lot of food. It is rumored that it was an ancient sage who loved this tree alone, and when he passed through this city, he found that the feng shui of this city was unique and suitable for cultivation, so he carried it here and cultivated it in large quantities, and after thousands of years, it continued to this day.

Whether this rumor is true or not, no one knows, but the name of Purple Willow City is opened, every year in early spring, a large number of tourists pour into the city, listen to the rain according to the building, enjoy the willows and branches.

However, now it is a time of war in the north, and this Purple Willow City is close to the Yunyuan Mountain Range, a key place in the border fortress, and wars break out from time to time. In this way, not to mention tourists, even the self-residents in the city are also panicked, and no one has the heart to look at this summer purple willow.

However, there may be exceptions to everything.

For example, at this moment, a group of people came to the gate of Purple Willow City.

The leader was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, wearing a golden crown, a white robe, and a snow-white folding fan in his hand, dressed as a handsome rich man.

The four people behind him, dressed in plain clothes, are all dressed as subordinates, but their eyebrows and eyes are quite delicate, and they look very young.

The rich young man shook the folding fan in his hand, looked at the two rows of purple-leaved willows hanging down on both sides of the city gate, and couldn't help shaking his head and said: "The most important thing is the spring of the year, and it is better than the smoke and willows all over the imperial capital." Although it is only the height of summer now, and there is no prosperity of the god capital here, but this city full of purple leaves and fine willows, ethereal in the wind, at a glance, there is also a bit of poetry, with this ancient city in the north, a little interesting, a little interesting! It is not in vain that this son has trekked through mountains and rivers for many days, come here for a visit!"

Listening to the young man's pretentious and elegant tone, the four clear-eyed entourages behind him couldn't help but laugh, and they all covered their mouths and laughed.

The rich boy's face changed, he turned around, looked at the four of them, and said a little angrily: "What are you laughing at?! Isn't the poem that this young man reads bad?!"

The four attendants looked grim and smiled, and one of them said respectfully: "No, no, no! The young man's poems are naturally excellent. We just think that if we find another restaurant, order a few side dishes, and enjoy the scenery while drinking, we are afraid that the poetry of the teenager will be better. ”

The rich boy was stunned at first, and then blinked.

Syllable!

As soon as he closed the folding fan, the rich young man was very satisfied with this person, and said, "Very good!" Ah San, this young master has decided to adopt your suggestion, so he will find a good restaurant, have a drink, and leave a few good poems, and it will not be in vain to come to this thousand-year-old city." ”

Without waiting for the four to answer, the rich boy turned around, stuck the folding fan at his waist, and swaggered into the city gate, completely ignoring the two heavily guarded guards guarding the city gate.

"Young Master, slow down, wait for a few of us. ”

"Young master, young master, can you enjoy a little good wine later?"

The four of them chattered and greeted, and immediately followed in a fart that looked quite funny.

The leader of the city guard at the gate of the city, originally saw these five people suddenly emerging from the official road, and their actions seemed to be a little suspicious, and they immediately had a heart of inquiry, but after hearing the almost idiotic conversation of the five masters and servants, they couldn't help but be speechless, thinking to themselves, this is the second ancestor who can't open his eyes, and he is so idiotic that he came here to play a coquettish score.

Thinking of this, the team leader's idea of checking was immediately extinguished, and he just looked at the back of the five masters and servants hugging each other, shook his head, and continued to patrol back and forth.

"Eh, that building is good, the young master likes it, that's it!"

Not long after entering the city, the rich young master immediately pointed to a restaurant on the right side of the street that looked quite elegant and had two purple willows planted at the door.

The four entourages behind him immediately clapped their hands and applauded, and they all echoed the young master's unique vision, encouraging the rich young master to immediately go upstairs to enjoy the scenery.

The rich young master stretched out his folding fan, shook his head and stepped into the building.

As soon as Fang entered the building, a cousin stepped forward to greet him, and when he saw the young man's dress, he knew that it was a big patron who came to the door, and he couldn't help but say with a smile on his face, and directly led the young man and his party to the highest private room on the third floor.

As soon as the young man sat down, he proudly ordered the most expensive banquet, which made the hall happy.

However, the young man's next sentence was directly like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, splitting the hall into charcoal.

"I didn't bring any money today, can I get it on credit?"

Looking at the young man's innocent eyes that were as clear as water, the cousin resisted the urge to scold his mother on the spot, and said euphemistically: "Childe, this is a small business, and we don't take credit." ”

The young man immediately frowned, and said loudly: "What? Do you think this son seems to eat white food?"

The cousin gritted his teeth and forced a smile: "Of course the son doesn't look like it, but he didn't bring any money, so it's not easy for us to explain to the shopkeeper, right?"

The young man slapped the table and said, "Okay! Then call your head of the family to come up and theorize with my son!"

The four attendants standing behind the young man also immediately shouted: "Yes, let you come up! Don't ask, when did our son-in-law eat white food!"

The cousin looked at the young man's widened eyes and the grinning expressions of the four people, and once again resisted the urge to take off his shoes and slap the other party's face, and said with a smile: "Okay, good! Wait a minute, the little one will tell you." ”

Seeing that the cousin ran away quickly, the young man and the four attendants suddenly put away their exaggerated expressions, glanced at each other, and showed a trace of solemnity on their faces.

After a while, a middle-aged man in a brown robe walked briskly up to the third floor and came to the group's room.

After looking at everyone for a while, the middle-aged man's eyes flashed slightly, and then he immediately bowed down and said with a smile: "Here is the shopkeeper below." This son, but he forgot to bring money? It's okay, I'll invite you for this meal, so let's make friends. ”

The rich boy smiled coldly and said, "What's the matter?

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Where, where, I just want to make friends with my son." ”

The young man smiled and said, "It's not that Young Master Ben really doesn't have any value, it's just that I'm afraid you won't be able to find it." ”

Before he could finish speaking, the young man suddenly took something out of his arms and threw it on the table.

When it sounded, the sound was crisp, and it was a metal object.

The shopkeeper's eyes were fixed, but it was a square golden plate, the lower left corner engraved with two square seals of the word "Qilin", while the middle of the token was painted with a strutting, four-legged flame of exquisite unicorn, and the back of the token was engraved with a few inches of the word "sky".

The shopkeeper's pupils shrank, and his complexion changed first, and then disappeared in an instant.

The shopkeeper put the brand in his arms, and said quietly: "This thing is too valuable, the store is small and thin, and it is really impossible to find it, but there are still a few antiques at the bottom of the box in the next house, if the son does not give up, can he take a look, or can he do this business with the next?"

The young man smiled faintly, raised his hand, and made a leading gesture.

The shopkeeper immediately bowed, and then led the young man and his party downstairs, into a private courtyard at the back of the building, and then into a secret room in the courtyard.

As soon as the door of the secret room was closed, the shopkeeper's face suddenly straightened, and then he lifted his shirt, pointed to the ground on one knee, knelt in front of the young man, and said respectfully: "Tianqi Wei Dizi No. 56, Zhu Ting, see the envoy." ”
