Chapter 519: The Restaurant in the Deep Alley
Soon the cold dew and the weather became significantly cooler, and even during the day, I could feel a little cool.
The carriage was soon about to enter the mountains, and the three of them prepared to stop for the night in a slightly dilapidated town on the border of Shuzhou.
The town has a particularly interesting name, which is called Zhihui.
Knowing the difficulties of the road ahead and returning early.
Although the beautiful water of Bashan in Shuchuan, although the temples and temples in the mountains are simple, in the end it is too barren, there are more people and it is good, less people go in to explore the secluded scenery, accidentally fall down the mountain, fall into the cave or two said, the most likely is to feed the tiger wolf.
As for the high mountains and deep valleys, there are many hermits, there is Zhongsheng Mountain, and the hermits would rather find a more beautiful place, after all, no one can stand the boring King Qing's Gu Maolu.
Moreover, the people of Shuzhong are fierce, and the old and young women and children are all practicing martial arts, if something happens, it is the outsiders who will definitely suffer.
Therefore, the road ahead is not only difficult but also lonely, so it is better to return as soon as possible.
There were six sergeants standing in front of the city gate, all of them with silver spears and armor, which was easy to intimidate.
In Lishu, there is no shortage of soldiers, and the most worthy of showing off are also soldiers.
The two soldiers inspected the carriage and saw that there were two children, so they did not bother much and quickly let them go.
The carriage entered the city, but there were not many people in the streets, and the crowd was hurrying, the doors of the houses were closed, and there was no light inside or outside the houses.
In the distance, two lanterns swayed in the autumn wind, and the faint light made the street seem extremely lonely.
The sun had already set, and the city was getting darker.
Jian Zhuoyun looked at the young man beside him with some doubts, and found that the face was still as calm as ever, and he didn't seem to feel strange.
So, she said lightly, "You know?"
Xiao Feng did not answer.
Jian Xuanyun frowned and didn't ask again.
At this time, the carriage slowly stopped, and the middle-aged man said in a low voice, "Young master, it's here." ”
Xiao Feng got out of the carriage and looked up at the plaque overhead.
"Shang Ru Inn. Xiao Feng hooked the corners of his mouth without knowing what he meant.
The decoration of the inn is not exquisite, but it is somewhat similar to the ordinary courtyard of a farmer's house, with red peppers hanging in front of the wooden window, and a lot of corn drying in the yard.
Yu Yi followed the runner who came out to set up the carriage, and the two young men entered the inn side by side.
In front of him was a long wooden table, a row could seat seven or eight people, behind the wooden table was the counter, a young man with a beautiful appearance was looking down to prepare the plate, happened to look up, saw two young people come in, grinned.
Xiao Feng looked at the layout of the inn.
On one side of the counter is a staircase, and I think the upstairs should be a place to stay, as for the first floor, five square rough wooden tables are placed on the other side of the stairs, and there are coal lamps burning on both walls, but they are still very dim, and there are still some cobwebs in the corners, and I think I haven't cleaned them for a while.
The two of them found a place to sit down, and after a while, Yu Yi entered the house, and the people who ran the hall before also ran into the house, closed the door of the store, and then took a pot of tea from the long table and poured it for the three of them, wiped their sweat, and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Xiao Feng glanced at Sword Sweeping Clouds.
Jian Xuanyun was expressionless, obviously not thinking that the dishes here could catch her eyes.
Xiao Feng looked at Yu Yi again.
"Two or three signature dishes, three bowls of rice. Yu Yi said lightly.
"Do you want any wine?" asked the shopkeeper with bright eyes.
"No need. Yu Yi still spoke in a light tone.
The shopkeeper was a little disappointed, but he still shouted at the top of his voice, "Okay, officer, you wait a minute." ”
By this time the sky had completely darkened, and it was pitch black outside through the window, and the occasional night breeze blew up dead leaves to make the streets even more lonely.
There was no one else in the inn except for Xiao Feng's table, after all, not many people were willing to come to such a poor and remote place as Zhihuicheng, not to mention that the vicinity of Zhihuicheng was not peaceful recently.
The three of them didn't speak, and in the space that wasn't too big, only Xiucai was crackling.
It didn't take long for the meal to be served.
At this time, a quick knock suddenly occurred at the door.
"It's coming, it's coming. The shopkeeper shouted at the top of his voice, hurriedly put down the food, and ran over to open the door.
A black dress waving in the wind in the night.
The shopkeeper didn't seem to be surprised at all, and turned sideways to invite in, "What does the guest officer want to eat?"
The black dressed but didn't take care of the shopkeeper, walked into the inn, sat opposite Xiao Feng, and said idly, "I didn't let the master come out before, why do you send someone to carry the letter now?"
"Watching a good show, by the way, you get a little cheap. Xiao Feng said lightly.
The sound of the abacus paused slightly, and then sounded again.
"Don't you?" said the young man in surprise.
"Do you think I need it?" Xiao Feng lightly hooked the corners of his mouth.
The young man took a sip of tea a little depressed, spit it out again, and scolded, "Overnight tea, this can also be drunk?"
Xiao Feng sipped his mouth very calmly.
The shopkeeper seemed to be dissatisfied with the young man who didn't pay attention to him when he came in, and said coolly, "If you don't spend money, you won't drink if you don't want to, and no one will force you." ”
The young man frowned and sneered, "You are a place, and you may not be able to drink it if you spend money." ”
"You come here at this time, whether you can have your life and leave alive is still two words, and it would be good to have a sip of drink. As soon as he heard the young man's joke, the shopkeeper was not happy.
"I've been there many times, but it's the first time I've seen such an arrogant guy like you. The young man's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Since you are a distinguished guest who knows how to return to the building, what are you doing in our small shop?" the shopkeeper's tone was a little unhappy.
"Because your little shop is too small. The young man said with a smile.
"The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. The shopkeeper retorted.
"The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. "Young people are not salty and indifferent.
As soon as the shopkeeper's face darkened, he was ready to scold.
Xiao Feng glanced at Yu Yi.
Yu Yi took out ten taels of silver from his sleeve and put it on the table.
The shopkeeper's eyes straightened all of a sudden, the sky and the earth were big, and the silver was the largest, so he turned his head and put on a big smile, and simply ignored the young man, "What do you have to say from the guest officer?"
Yu Yi looked at Xiao Feng.
The shopkeeper also set his eyes on Xiao Feng.
"Who came up with the name of this shop?" Xiao Feng asked lightly.
"Xiucai, Xiucai has read books in this store, so naturally I am looking for him. The shopkeeper said as a matter of course.
The sound of the abacus paused again.
"What about the rest of the shop?" Xiao Feng asked again.
"I've all evacuated, and I guess I'll be back tomorrow. "The shopkeeper is very honest.
"Why don't you go?" said the young man strangely.
"Xiucai doesn't give leave. "The shopkeeper is very depressed.
"Oh. Xiao Feng chuckled, "Two pots of the best wine in the store, thank you." ”
"Well. ”
"What's the show, can you talk about it now?" the young man said, raising his eyebrows.
"The Floating Dust Temple and the Fallen Demon Gate are going to have a fight. Xiao Feng said lightly.
The young man frowned, sniffing something unusual.
The Floating Dust Temple and the Fallen Demon Gate are two opposing forces in this vicinity, because they are ranked close on the Heavenly Machine List, and they have been fighting each other for so many years, no one can help anyone, how can they prepare to completely tear their faces tonight?
"They have been able to develop under Cao Xiao's nose for so many years, they are definitely not stupid people, how could they make such a stupid decision?" the young man asked.
The two forces are equal, that is, now the Fallen Demon Gate is a few ranks ahead of the Floating Dust Temple, and the gap is not big, if you really want to separate life and death, it is that both families are dead.
"A few days ago, Lonely Yuan had a drink with Wu Xiao, and then Wu Xiao died. Xiao Feng said lightly.
"Drifting Tower?" the young man said contemplatively.
"I just gave a reason to do it. Xiao Feng was still calm.
"Then why did they do it in Zhihui City? In this way, Cao Xiao will not give up. "The youth still don't quite understand.
"Because of the Liu family. Xiao Feng said lightly, "They are gambling." ”。
The sound of the abacus stopped for the third time.
Then, it never rang again.
