In the early morning, there are few clouds and mist, and the morning glow is full.

The golden glow shines from the east, like a pool of broken gold. The huge city of Yangzhou has revived again, and the bustling crowd has made bursts of noise, lively and noisy.

Xu Ping'an woke up and opened his hands, and he had a clean and lovely face with white marks.

The demon was staring at him with flashing eyes, and said with a smile, "Big brother, you're awake!"

He smiled kindly, and the demon's smile seemed to have magical power, which could dispel all melancholy and make people happy from the bottom of their hearts.

This girl is destined for herself!

Stretched out his hands and pinched her face, and said, "Demon, I wasn't honest when I slept last night." ”

"Hey, hey, children are like this, can you'er always sleep with your big brother in the future. She tilted her little head, and her big eyes had a hopeful light.

Xu Ping'an pursed his lips and smiled, and rubbed the demon's head again, "It's okay for the time being, but it's not okay when you're a little older!"

"Why?"

A black line welled up on his forehead, and he prevaricated: "No reason, get up quickly, the sun is shining on your buttocks." ”

"Smack!"

Li Jimao pushed open the door and came in.

This Han Dun'er brought a basin of hot, smoky water, and smirked: "Childe, didn't you say that you will no longer be the lazy worm who gets up at three o'clock in the morning when you enter the rivers and lakes?"

"You idiot, dare you make fun of me. Xu Ping'an snorted twice, then walked to the table and picked up a hand of hot water and poured it on his cheek.

Crystal dew dripped down the forehead, and the golden glow hit half of the cheeks, a little like a handsome scholar who came out of the painting, delicate and manly.

Li Ji looked a little stunned, and muttered to himself: "Childe is so handsome..."

After cleaning himself, he hugged the demon to his lap again, and cleaned up for her, and then the little girl happily ran to the back of the screen to change into new clothes.

"Han Dun'er, go, bring the company commander's wide-sleeved light shirt. ”

"Childe, didn't you say that the clothes are just to cover the body, and the white clothes sewn by the master are more comfortable?"

“... Looking for a fight, isn't it?"

......

The three of them did not check out, but paid a deposit first, and the exact length of stay is still up for discussion.

They had eaten the noon meal, and the demon had never eaten such a delicious and oily dish in the inn, but he ate it with his belly open, and his little belly was swollen.

And Xu Ping'an didn't have much appetite, his eyes wandered and he kept looking out the window, and when he was about to check out, Li Ji woke him up. Then the three of them left the inn.

In the bazaar, there are many people.

Street showmanship, people selling foreign novelties keep selling, so lively, occasionally you can see a few serious ladies, lotus steps coming.

Their faces are half-covered, and their eyebrows are shy, like one or two budding flowers, which is pleasing to the eye.

Li Ji looked at the west and looked at the west, obviously attracted by these foreign objects.

"Childe, where are we going now?"

"Yellow Crane Tower!"

"Going so early?"

"The early bird has worms, and we are not familiar with the place where we are born, so we have to step on it first. Xu Ping'an said, his mind was a little inexplicable.

"Childe, don't you really like the eldest lady of the Yu family who dresses as a man?" Li Ji poked his head and stared at him, trying to find out something from his expression.

"Peng!"

Xu Ping'an didn't answer, and directly knocked a finger on his forehead!

Half an hour later, the trio crossed from the North Market to the center, where the street is called "Ascending Alley", which as the name suggests, is an uphill street.

There are more people here, and there are many exquisite carriages coming and going, accompanied by many maids and guards, and you can know at a glance that it is a large family.

It is close to the center of Yangzhou City, which belongs to the most prosperous area, and the people who come and go are indeed more high-end, in short, the people who have the right to silver.

The climbing road is not a steep slope, but it is just a slight upward tilt, Xu Ping'an heard that the famous "Yellow Crane Tower" is going up from this road.

According to legend, this building is a hotel opened by a Xin woman, she is kind and often helps the people and the down-and-out chivalrous children, the fame spreads far and wide, and also falls a lot of good fate, so there is the grand occasion of today's Yellow Crane Tower.

As for why it is called the Yellow Crane Tower, it is because many years ago, when the Yellow Crane Tower was just a small wine shop, there was a master of the rivers and lakes who came here to drink a thousand cups without paying any silver taels.

Xin didn't report to the official after knowing about it, so he waived the wine money kindly, and even took out some dry food to give him.

In order to thank her for the kindness of a thousand cups, she drew a crane on the wall before leaving, telling her that the yellow crane has a spirit, and can stay to dance and cheer up, and can also shelter its prosperity for a hundred years.

And so it turned out to be the case, and since then it has been full of customers and business has been booming.

After another ten years, the master came back, played the flute here, and then the master directly stepped on the yellow crane and went straight to the clouds, disappeared, leaving many immortal legends.

In order to commemorate the immortal who helped her get rich, Xin renovated the wine shop and named it "Yellow Crane Tower".

Now, this Yellow Crane Tower is born magnificently, its wine is beautiful, the dishes are also beautiful, and the scenery is more beautiful.

Coupled with some romantic stories and the legend of the ascended immortal, this place has more color and flavor.

Seven years ago, the emperor of Weifu came here for a private visit, and when he climbed to read the charming mountains and rivers, he remembered a woman, and called out a sentence after a silence of incense.

You don't know how many dreams there are, and there is half a life in this place.

The grass is bright and the color of Kyushu, and the clear sky is full of water in the south of the Yangtze River.

And when His Majesty the Emperor was leaving, he also specially wrote a plaque and presented it to Xin, and then the name of the three words "Yellow Crane Tower" became even louder.

Those who came here were dignitaries, wealthy businessmen, and countless knights.

Xu Ping'an and the three of them have come to this legendary place, looking up, the Yellow Crane Tower stands here, with nine floors

, the size of the roofs of each floor, staggered and overlapped, and the angles are flying, as if they are crane wings ready to fly.

The outside of the floor is painted with cranes as the main body, moire, flowers and plants, dragons and phoenixes as the foiling pattern, which is very good-looking.

"Childe, such a big Yellow Crane Tower, no wonder it is called the first floor in Yangzhou!" Li Ji swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said sluggishly.

Xu Ping'an looked at the flow of people coming in and out of the Yellow Crane Tower and was also a little amazed, this place is probably comparable to the grand occasion of Chang'an in the Celestial Empire.

"Yes, this is the Yellow Crane Tower, the big pen on the plaque walks the dragon and snake, and the power penetrates the back of the plaque, thinking that it is left by His Majesty the heroic emperor. ”

Then he turned his eyes, and he saw the stalls set up next to the gate of the Yellow Crane Tower, where from time to time there were beggars and down-and-out people sitting down, and then there were Xiao Er of the Yellow Crane Tower who stepped forward to add porridge and rice, and did good deeds.

It seems that Xin's name is not false. This Yellow Crane Tower should be prosperous!

"Shall we go in first? Such a magnificent restaurant shouldn't be cheap, will the junior here not let us in?" Li Ji said with some concern, reaching out and pinching his money bag.

The corners of Xu Ping'an's mouth hooked, and he quipped: "Didn't you fool take more things from Liu's Mansion last night? Why are you worried about not having enough money now?"

Li Ji Zhengse said: "The source of their money is unknown, I don't want it! Son, you can't fight that bad idea, otherwise if the master knows, most of them will scold us." ”

"Brainless, this is called robbing the rich and helping the poor, and the heroes of the rivers and lakes will do this, such as the spring and autumn list of the rivers and lakes you yearn for, where at least half of the people have a lot of money. ”

"Where did the money come from? It's not black, it's this kind of robbery of the rich and helping the poor. ”

"You are such a master among the masters, you have a little broken silver in your pocket, and you are not afraid to laugh off your big teeth, even if you meet some masters in the rivers and lakes, and want to cook a pot of good wine, I am afraid that the silver is stretched. ”

Xu Ping'an pursed his lips as he spoke, thinking that he had to correct this problem, otherwise no one would be able to cure Li Ji's brain.

Li Ji still felt that it was inappropriate, but he felt that he was reasonable, and scratched his head and said, "Then there will be no silver, besides, you can rob that Liu Er, and that tyrannical guy can rob him!"

Xu Ping'an was about to say something, but the demon child weakly spoke: "Big brother, is it that the demon has spent too much money on clothes and food in the past two days?"

She said that tears were about to fall, and she pouted, "The demon will never be again, just eat steamed buns and wear old clothes, big brother can't do without the demon!"

Xu Ping'an said distressedly: "Where is the demon using more silver, it's your brother Li Ji who is crying poor, don't cry, don't cry, big brother will take you to this yellow crane tower tonight to eat a meal of seafood delicacies." ”

Children are always attracted by what is in front of them, and the demon's eyes lit up, and he immediately exclaimed, "Really?"

"Of course it's true!"

"Yes, thank you, big brother. The demon pouted and kissed Xu Ping'an's face, and the whole person was jumping around.

Li Ji scratched his head, it seems that he will really have to rob the ill-gotten wealth in the future, otherwise he can't even afford to raise this little girl, but his master Li Guiyao is poor, and he gave ten taels of silver when he went out.

Just as they were about to step into the Yellow Crane Tower, a man in a strong suit walked out of the crowd, with a powerful force and a big knife pinned to his waist, which looked heavy.

Li Ji noticed this person for the first time, and all those who were in danger to Xu Ping'an would be automatically isolated, and in an instant, he stood in a position where he could shoot at any time.

The person who came was wearing a scarf, like a squire martial artist, and walked directly to Xu Ping'an and the three of them.

"Stop!" Li Ji scolded, he felt that this person was a practitioner.

Xu Ping'an also paid attention to the past, and then smiled faintly, the people of the Liu family came here, and it was as good as he expected, and the intention was not bad.

"Dare to ask who is Xu Ping'an, Xu Shaoxia?" The man stopped directly three steps away, bowed down very respectfully, and did not have any hostile meaning.

"I just, let's say, what is the matter with your master looking for me?" he said lightly, and then signaled Li Ji not to act rashly, but to be calm and calm.

The man didn't even dare to raise his head, and when he came, he was instructed by Liu Yuan and Qiu Laoqian not to be abrupt or to make enemies. If necessary, you can treat it like a living man...

He was sincerely afraid, but he had also seen some big worlds, so he forcibly straightened his voice and said, "Shaoxia has good eyesight, my master asked me to bring you a letter, please take a look." ”

As he spoke, his calloused hands handed over an envelope.
