Chapter 019: The First Richest Man (1)
The sun sets in the west, and the sunset shines brightly.
The bustling bazaar is lit with bright lights and red candles hanging high.
Red candle flame, red sunset, I don't know if the candle flame reflects the red sunset, or the sunset reflects the red candle flame.
"I didn't expect there to be more people at night than during the day. Bai Luoshang walked and admired it, "This street is lively, but there are two less scenery." ”
Yue Beichuan led the horse, listened to Bai Luosheng's words, and said strangely: "Which two." ”
Bai Luoshang smiled: "One is beautiful, the other is not beautiful." But these two landscapes can be seen everywhere, but not here. ”
Yue Beichuan was even more curious, he really couldn't see what scenery was missing in this city.
Bai Luoshang saw that his face was full of confusion, and said with a smile: "These two kinds of scenery, one can be seen at night, and the other can be seen during the day, the beautiful one is more beautiful at night, and the less beautiful scenery is less beautiful during the day." ”
Yue Beichuan was completely confused, "What kind of scenery is Brother Bai talking about?" I didn't understand it at all. ”
Bai Luoshang smiled: "The scenery that can be seen at night can be regarded as beautiful, of course, it is the Lefang Flower House." The scenery that can be seen during the day is not beautiful, of course, it is called Hanako who begs. ”
Yue Beichuan suddenly realized, nodded heavily, and said: "Indeed, there is no Qinglou Le Fang in Pushan County, and beggars are not allowed to enter the city to beg for a living, so I can't see these two landscapes. ”
Bai Luoshang whispered with a little pity: "It's okay not to let Hanako beg for a living in the city, why don't you even have a flower house?" ”
Yue Beichuan said indifferently: "Maybe the county officials here are too strange. ”
As he was talking, he suddenly saw a figure in the crowd, Bai Luoshang looked over in surprise, but he couldn't see anything, because there were too many people, and the figure had already disappeared into the crowd before he could see it clearly.
"What?" Yue Beichuan looked at him strangely.
"It's like seeing an acquaintance. Bai Luoshang wondered.
"Don't you talk if you don't go?" Yue Beichuan was a little surprised.
"It's better not to go. Bai Luoshang shook his head and pulled Yue Beichuan into Yipinju.
The building was as lively as the outside, and the loud noise made the noisy people dizzy.
Yipinju looks extraordinary outside, and the building layout in the building is also very luxurious, and the people who can come in must be people with status.
It stands to reason that in a high-end restaurant like Yipinju, the rules in the building should be relatively high-end, who knew that this building was even more chaotic than ordinary taverns.
Eating, drinking, boxing, laughing, quarrelling, and even fighting. The sound of laughter, scolding, the clashing of cups and saucers, the sound of dishes and chopsticks smashing the ground, the sound is endless.
This is simply the gathering place of the three religions and nine streams, and it is smoky and miasma, completely different from what it looks like on the outside.
Before coming in, Bai Luoshang felt that this building should be a place of singing and dancing, drinking and talking, who knew that the situation would be completely opposite.
Bai Luoshang looked left and right in a daze, and exclaimed, "I really didn't expect it, here...... It's hilarious. ”
Just now in the Santie shop, Zhang Santie also said that ordinary people can't enter the door of Yipinju at all, but he didn't expect that in less than two hours, he had already entered the door of Yipinju.
If there is anything different about the people in this door falling to the ground, Bai Luoshang really can't answer. Because the people here don't see anything unusual at all, they also have a pair of eyes, a nose and a mouth, and their clothes are not particularly luxurious, and their status must not be noble.
is such a place, why does Zhang Santie still say that it is as difficult to enter as the palace?
Yue Beichuan nodded, "When I first came, I had a similar reaction to you. ”
Bai Luoshang thought helplessly, but I was afraid that if it was any other person, the reaction when I first came to this restaurant was probably about the same.
Yue Beichuan saw what Bai Luoshang was thinking in his heart, and said, "Although the environment is not very good, fortunately, the wine here is good." Anyway, as long as Brother Bai has wine, he should be satisfied. As for the environment, it probably doesn't matter. ”
Bai Luoshang sighed and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect Brother Yue to know me very well, it seems that there are really a lot of people like me in the world, at least these people are the same as me, and they don't care about the surrounding environment at all." ”
Yue Beichuan invited Bai Luoshang to sit down at a table.
Bai Luoshang remembered Zhang Santie's words, so he brushed his sleeves and smiled: "I heard that the drunkenness of 'Yipinju' is better than the cyclamen of 'Cyclamen Building'. ”
Yue Beichuan's eyes lit up, and he asked people to get drunk.
Zhang Santie is right, picking up the fragrance is indeed more beautiful, fragrant and intoxicating than the cyclamen.
Bai Luoshang just took a sip, and he couldn't help but praise the beauty of the wine.
The two pushed the cup into the lamp, Yingying persuaded the wine, and talked happily.
Bai Luoshang has always praised the good wine, and Yue Beichuan has always praised the good amount of Bai Luoshang's wine.
During the banquet, Yue Beichuan suddenly said: "Actually, I have another matter to ask Brother Bai. ”
Bai Luoshang seemed to have expected it, and after listening to Yue Beichuan's words, he was not surprised at all, but smiled, put down the wine glass, and said, "Brother Yue, please speak." ”
Yue Beichuan raised his head and looked at the tables in the building one by one, as if he was looking for something, and as if he was embarrassed by something, only to hear him say slowly: "I want to ask Brother Bai to help me find someone." ”
"What kind of person. ”
"A man who likes to drink as much as Brother White. ”
"Oh?" Bai Luoshang looked at Yue Beichuan's face, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Could it be that this person is here at the moment?"
Yue Beichuan sighed and said, "I made a bet with this person. If I find him within two days, I will be free again without continuing to do things for him. As long as I find him within these two days, and do one last thing, I can leave. And the last thing I want to do for him is to retrieve the Xuantie Sword that Zhang Santie helped to build, which can be forged tomorrow morning, as long as this is done, I can no longer be ordered by him and be sent by him. If Brother Bai can help me find this person tonight, I will be free tomorrow morning. ”
After hearing this, Bai Luoshang smiled, "Isn't Brother Yue free now?"
Yue Beichuan shook his head and sighed: "I am originally from the rivers and lakes, so I am naturally not used to being sent by others all the time. Although he didn't control me, after all, he was a sender, and he was not free after all. ”
Bai Luoshang nodded, Jianghu people really don't like to be restrained, and Jianghu people yearn for the freedom of Jianghu.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Luoshang asked again: "Since you don't like to listen to people's errands, wouldn't it be good to leave on your own, with Brother Yue's skills, it is not difficult to leave." ”
Yue Beichuan said helplessly: "However, I am a person with a problem. ”
Bai Luoshang said strangely: "What's wrong?"
Yue Beichuan smiled bitterly and said, "The biggest problem with me is that I have promised others and will never regret it." ”
"A word is true, a promise is a thousand gold, this is not a problem, but a gentleman's doing. Bai Luoshang smiled, "It's just that what did you promise that person?"
Yue Beichuan said worriedly: "Let him send it, for an unlimited time." ”
"But you don't want to help him anymore?" Bai Luoshang looked at him and said in his heart, a person who can make such a person willing to bow down and obey orders can never be a simple character.
Yue Beichuan sighed sadly and said, "I said, the people of the rivers and lakes don't like constraints. is not afraid of white brother jokes, and has been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, and has long been accustomed to living alone. When I promised that person, it was all because of his youth and vigor, but it was just a matter of slapping the table. But now I want to come ......."
Bai Luoshang interrupted him and said, "Now, you don't want to continue doing it?"
Yue Beichuan nodded: "As long as Brother Bai helps me find this person, I don't have to be controlled by him anymore." ”
Bai Luoshang thought for a while and asked, "The person you are talking about, but the richest man in Cangzhou, Shangguan Moyun?"
Yue Beichuan nodded and said, "That's right, it's this person." How did Brother Bai guess?"
Bai Luoshang smiled: "During the day, I saw you enter Yipinju with them. ”
Yue Beichuan wrinkled his eyebrows and said heavily: "However, as soon as he entered Yipinju, he disappeared, I looked for him for a while, but there was no clue at all." ”
Bai Luoshang asked again, "Is he hiding?"
Yue Beichuan wrinkled his eyebrows, "No, if he hid, it would be easier to find, but he didn't hide it, and he wouldn't hide it." ”
"How?"
"He's a disguiser master, Brother Bai might be able to help me find him. ”
Bai Luosheng's eyes widened, and the more he listened, the more interesting he felt, and he smiled at the corner of his mouth, "If he can change his appearance, things will be more troublesome, no matter whether his disguise is good or not, as long as he blends into the crowd, no matter how good your eyesight is, you will not find anyone." ”
"Exactly. Yue Beichuan looked at the lively hall and said helplessly, "He said that he would drink in this building tonight, but unfortunately I can't see it anyway, and there are too many people here, so I can't find it." ”
"In this way, Shangguan Moyun is among these people at this time. ”
Bai Luoshang also looked at the lively hall, and finally his eyes locked on a corner of the hall and muttered, "Although I don't know the true appearance of that great nobleman, I know that his appearance is not ugly." ”
Yue Beichuan was stunned for a long time and nodded, "His original appearance is indeed not ugly." ”
Bai Luoshang unfolded a big smile, "A person who is not too ugly must not be willing to look like an ugly monster." ”
Yue Beichuan said in disbelief: "Could it be that Yi Rong still has to pick a good-looking Yi?"
Bai Luoshang nodded solemnly, at least he had always been like this.
After a while, Bai Luoshang said again: "He is the richest man, he naturally has a lot of money, and he is used to wearing fine clothes and jade food on weekdays, so even if he is disguised, he will still wear a decent dress, and he will not be disguised as a poor bastard." ”
Yue Beichuan looked at him even more suspiciously, and asked incomprehensibly, "Brother Bai, what do you mean by this?"
Bai Luoshang blinked and said with a smile: "If you look back, you will understand what I mean." ”
Yue Beichuan followed Bai Luoshang's gaze and looked back, his expression extremely surprised.
"Could it be that Brother Bai thinks it's that person?" Yue Beichuan asked in surprise.
In that corner, there was an old man with a clear face, his sideburns were a little loose, his clothes were slightly open, and his expression was slightly tired. Leaning leisurely against a wall, holding a book in his hand, he looked casually under the lamp, as if he was not disturbed by the noise of the hall at all.
Bai Luoshang laughed in a low voice: "Looking at it, the old man in this building is strange." If you want to say whose identity is suspicious, he is the most suspicious. ”
Yue Beichuan's eyes widened: "Brother Bai thinks he is suspicious?"
Bai Luoshang replied: "It's just intuition." ”
