The four of them followed the path guided by the old farmer across the golden rice sea and traveled south for another two days.

The city wall of Xiangyang, which is more than five zhang high, finally looms in front of you, and the foot of the foot has also changed from a rural mud road to an official road of Pingchuan. There is an endless stream of passers-by to and from Xiangyang, and before entering the city, the small stalls on both sides of the official road are already dazzling.

In Xiangyang City, where the gold and jade are piled up, Zhumen embroidered households, it is a fat errand for everyone to be able to run a serious business, and ordinary street vendors want to occupy a place in the city to do business, so they have to pay a large amount of silver, but even so, in order to get a place in Xiangyang City, there are many people who fight to break their heads and bleed.

The official road outside the city stretches for several miles, it is the only way to enter Xiangyang City, and naturally it has become a piece of fat in the eyes of the merchants.

On the way through the sea of rice, the white-clothed hand holding the water cold and the brown-haired bear walked in front, but Xiangyang City was bustling with fish and dragons, and Bai Yun didn't want to make more mistakes, so he pressed the live bear back into the bookbox.

The white clothes are cold and dusty, and they don't eat the fireworks in the world, coupled with a peerless water cold sword, which is like a shocking celestial, attracting the sideways of pedestrians on the road, all wanting to see this woman who is like a fairy descending to earth.

"Baiyun, Xiangyang City is right in front of you, what are your plans with Miss Yuruo after entering the city?" The eyes of the plain-robed boy looked ahead, as if looking at the woman in white clothes like snow and then at the head of Xiangyang City in the distance.

Bai Yun also raised his head and looked into the distance, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not a secret, I thought of Xiangyang and then looked for the lost fellow disciples, but Xiangyang City is so big, I don't know where the senior brothers are now, I really can't think of any way, let alone plan." ”

The young man in the plain robe pondered for a moment and said: "Also, if you want to pick one out of ten thousand in this big Xiangyang City, it is like looking for a needle in the vast sea, if it is almost evening today, in my opinion, I will find an inn to settle down tonight, rest for a night, and it will not be too late to find your senior brother tomorrow." ”

"That's it. Bai Yun nodded.

The city gate of Xiangyang is more than four zhang high, the city gate is the meeting loft of the general supervising the battle, the city gate is about half a zhang thick for the jujube wood, the distance of about 30 steps across the city gate, it can be seen that the thickness of the city wall of Xiangyang is solid.

The tiled roofs of the houses in the city are leaning on each other, row upon row, the streets and alleys are crowded with people and lively, and the number of street vendors is several times more than that outside the city, so it is a good atmosphere of living and working in peace and contentment.

Baiyun and his party walked through the crowd, came to the door of a house called Fuyuan Inn, planning to settle here for one night, the first floor of the inn is the food market, near the evening is already full, the shopkeeper saw that there were distinguished guests coming to the door and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, but before he opened his mouth, he was called by the shopkeeper, and he knew that he could not stand on the business without a sharp eye, who was the shopkeeper of the inn? Dealing with guests from all over the world every day, naturally there is a pair of exquisite hearts, although the clothes of the four are not necessarily so gorgeous and amazing, but all of them are extraordinary, especially the ivory bone fan in the hand of the plain robe, at a glance it is a priceless treasure.

The shopkeeper knows that there are many children of rich families in Xiangyang City, and there are many who are willing to spend a lot of money, but most of them are lingering in the wind and moon field all day long, drilling into the woman's nest, and there is no human like a personAs soon as the matter spread, the reputation of Zifeng Lou became famous in the smoke and willow world of Xiangyang City, and the value of ordinary Oiran soared several times, and the red card Oiran directly asked for a thousand gold, and the flowers and guests who came and went to Zifeng Lou were crowded, and the other rouge buildings were about to stare out, but there was no way, the second son of Wen had a lot of money, and his father was a member of the first grade in the court, known as Wen Hou, and the second son of Wen bought half of the Zifeng Building, waiting to send the silver to the second son of Wen Er Gongzi There are many people outside Xiangyang City, and it is difficult for Zifeng Lou to take the boat of Wen Er Gongzi if he wants to fly Huang Tengda。

"I don't know what the guest officers ordered?

"Three first-class rooms, and then make some Xiangyang special dishes. Without waiting for the master to speak, Ziyi commanded.

"Okay. The shopkeeper nodded again and again, secretly happy in his heart, he really didn't look away, although listening to the accent, these four people don't look like Jingzhou natives, but like the children of a family who have traveled here, not rich or expensive.

The shopkeeper beckoned a junior second and whispered in the ear of the junior second: "Hurry up and prepare three first-class guest rooms, don't neglect the guests!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, please wait a moment, the shopkeeper will immediately serve the most famous dishes in Xiangyang. With that, the innkeeper respectfully stepped back, and after a while brought another pot of wine.

"This is the delicacies and wine that this store has treasured for many years, not to mention how expensive it is, it can be seen that this son is so atmospheric, the account of this pot of wine is counted in the account of the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper said

"No, one account is one account, Lao Tzu and his son have a clear score, how can there be a reason not to give money for drinking? The plain-robed boy said heartily.

"Eh! This can't be helped, and I'm not afraid of Childe's jokes, I've done business all over the world as a shopkeeper, but I've never met someone like Childe, this pot of wine should be the shopkeeper to make friends with you. The shopkeeper said with a straight face.

"Okay! Since the shopkeeper is so hospitable, then it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate!" the boy in the plain robe said with a smile, he can run such a big inn, of course he knows who the shopkeeper is.

The shopkeeper's way of life was perfect, and he took the opportunity to ask: "Since they are friends, the shopkeeper dares to ask Gongzi's surname?"

"The surname is Long. The plain-robed boy said.

The well-eyed plain-robed boy poured a glass of wine for Bai Yun and himself, raised his hand to be a glass, and then did not forget to face the wine in the cup in front of the shopkeeper to say a few polite praises, but Bai Yun was unmoved, looking at the wine in the cup and stunned.

"Shopkeeper, this is just a full house at the dinner market, your Fuyuan Inn is probably one of the few big inns in Xiangyang City, right?" asked the plain-robed boy tentatively as he put down his wine glass.

"Childe has good eyesight! It's not that I brag about my own inn, since the ancestors of the Fuyuan Inn this signboard in the whole Xiangyang no one knows who doesn't know, the gold paint signboard in front of the door on the Fuyuan Inn four words, but when the old emperor Taizu went south to Xiangyang to personally mention the word, in Xiangyang City, we Fuyuan Inn dare to recognize the second, and which inn dares to recognize the first. The shopkeeper's face seems to be thicker than the bricks, and Huang Po blushes when she sells melons.

"So there are a lot of outsiders who come and go in and out of the Fuyuan Inn every day. The plain-robed boy slashed the fan like a broken bone.

"Yes, the outsiders who stay in Jingzhou are more than half a mile, many are repeat customers, and those who do business know that they have to live in Fuyuan Inn when they come to Xiangyang, and my inn bed is wide enough, the quilt is warm enough, and I live comfortably and eat comfortably. The shopkeeper boasted without hesitation.

"Have you ever seen a group of outsiders, four men and one woman, some wearing long swords, among them there is a man who looks like a scholar, and one of them holds a fan with a fan bone plated with gold wire, and a fan painted with splendid mountains and rivers on both sides. Bai Yun, who had been silent, asked.

"Gold-plated fan?" the shopkeeper said to himself, scratched his head and thought for a long time, and said: "Ouch, this young man, you see that the shopkeeper's head is not good, the shopkeeper will ask the guys in the store for you." ”

The shopkeeper beckoned the little two in the store one by one to come over and inquire, and they all said that they had seen outsiders with swords, but no one had ever seen Zhang Zishan and his party holding a gold-plated silk fan.

The woman in white was overshadowed, and turned her head to look at the street where people were coming and going.

Bai Yun's gaze dimmed again, and he said in his heart, where are Senior Brother Lin and Zhang Zishan? Could it be that they have already left Xiangyang?

"Young man, since ancient times, there has been a Jianglong is not as good as the head snake of the ground, I am the shopkeeper in Xiangyang, although it is not as good as the gold on the faces of the officials, but the three generations of businessmen in the same industry also have some weight and prestige, and the door and context are also broad, it is better for me to send a little two to other inns to inquire, but Xiangyang City is vast, I am afraid that I will not be able to inquire for a while and a half, and it may take some effort. The shopkeeper said.

"Then it's a matter of worrying the shopkeeper. Bai Yun thanked him.

"Where, where is it, you are a guest when you pass through the door, you are friends of Long Gongzi, that is, my friends, you will rest for a night tonight, maybe there will be news early tomorrow morning." The shopkeeper laughed.

The boy in the plain robe stuffed a fine embroidered money bag into the shopkeeper, and said: "The shopkeeper, bring it back immediately if there is news, don't delay my friend's time." ”

"Gotcha!" The shopkeeper took the money bag, only to feel that his hand was sinking, and he read happily in his heart, this money bag is really heavy, and it can't run away with a hundred or ten taels of silver.

"The shopkeeper will ask Xiao Er to inquire about the young man now. The shopkeeper smiled and walked away with the money bag in his hand.

With a bang, the plain-robed boy put away the fan again, and his eyes quietly fell on Zhang Yuruo's body, although Zhang Yuruo was as cold as ever, he could not hide the worry in her eyes.

The boy in the plain robe has never hit the iron wall and will listen to the lord who is in civilian clothes, and comforted him: "Miss Yuruo, the shopkeeper has already sent someone to inquire, maybe he will be able to find out the news tomorrow." ”

After Zhang Yuruo raised his head slightly, his eyes fell on the little monster sleeping in the bookcase.

The thin eyebrows of the purple clothes became an inverted figure, the temperament of this white clothes was really cold to the bones, and he was about to open his mouth but was gently pulled by the corners of the clothes in the plain robe, and finally had to turn his head, snorted coldly and stopped looking at the white clothes.

All kinds of dishes are served one after another, stir-fried, stewed and boiled, everything is available, the color and flavor are complete, and the tongues of the diners at the next table are about to fall to the ground.

The plain-robed boy picked up a piece of red stewed meat and put it in the Baiyun bowl, and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, try this Xiangyang's special delicacy first." ”

Bai Yun nodded, his eyes wandered, and he caught the gentle demeanor of the white-clothed monster.

Unintentionally through the wind, but led to a flash flood.

The lake water under the white clothes and the bright moon is clear and dust-free.
