Chapter 37, how can the wine be weak

Li Yi couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard the gatekeeper say that the old pavilion master Bai was not in Haoyuan, but he had no other way at this time, so he had to salute the gatekeeper with his fists and asked:

"Old man, Li Yi has an important matter that he needs to see his master, do you know where the old pavilion master Bai is at this time?"

The gatekeeper just shook his head, and it was obvious that he didn't know where Bai Wuming was going.

Li Yi sighed, so he had to arch his hand to the gatekeeper and turned away.

The white-haired old man guarding the door said, "You don't necessarily have to find the old white pavilion master for that important matter......

Li Yi turned around and asked, "Then who else can I go to for help?"

The gatekeeper pointed to the south and smiled, "You just have to go south and you can find him or her!"

"Thank you, old man!" Li Yi bowed and said happily.

After Li Yi said goodbye to the gatekeeper of the Shenwang Pavilion, he followed his instructions and walked south. He stopped and walked, keeping an eye on his surroundings, but he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, except for the usual passers-by.

Suddenly, Li Yi heard a familiar laughter, this burst of laughter like the words of birds in the empty mountains had already been deeply imprinted in his mind, and he took three steps at the same time, approaching the laughter......

"Senior sister, why are you here?" When he saw the person in front of him clearly, he immediately strode forward and said with a smile.

Naturally, the person in front of her was Yiqing, the youngest female disciple of the "Yi" generation under the Emei faction. At this time, there was a girl in brocade clothes standing next to Yiqing, the girl looked about sixteen years old, her eyebrows were bright, her spirit was vibrant, and her body exuded a vigorous heroic spirit, which was no less heroic than those men with eyebrows.

"Third brother, are you here too?!" Before Yiqing could speak, the girl in Chinese clothes beside her had already called out first, and looked at her expression, as if she was extremely excited.

"Original...... Seventeenth sister is also here!" Li Yi nodded and smiled at the girl in gorgeous clothes.

Unexpectedly, he wandered casually on the streets of Chang'an, and actually saw Yiqing walking with the seventeenth sister.

Naturally, the heroic girl in gorgeous clothes is the seventeenth daughter of the current emperor, Li Qi of Princess Lingyu.

Since Yichen returned south with a sword on the order of his master, Li Qi simply regarded Yiqing as a master and followed her to learn swords every day. These two women were originally close in temperament, both of them were bold and chivalrous people, and they were like sisters when they stayed together every day. After Yiqing separated from her second senior sister, her originally depressed and unhappy mood suddenly brightened up because of Li Qi's company.

Early this morning, Li Qi came to Meixuezhai to learn swords from Yiqing. The two women are almost the same age, and they are both children's tempers. After the two practiced swordsmanship for a morning, they felt quite bored, but Li Qi first proposed to go around Chang'an City, and Yiqing happily complied. No, Li Qi followed Yiqing out of Meixuezhai not far away, and actually ran into his third brother Li Yi head-on, this time, it made the seventeenth princess happy......

"Third brother, didn't my father ask you to solve the case......? How is this case going? I heard that the culprit of the crime is a goblin? Or is it a cat demon! Third brother...... Did you catch the cat demon?" Li Qi rushed forward, took Li Yi's hand affectionately, and asked a series of questions.

Li Yi originally presided over today's Tsing Yi Wei morning meeting, after listening to the arguments of the officials, he only felt upset, and then he went to ask his master Bai Wuming for help, but he didn't expect the old pavilion master Bai to go where he went. When he was feeling depressed and at a loss, he met Yiqing and his seventeenth sister Li Qi on the streets of Chang'an. Among his many brothers and sisters, Li Yi's favorite is this seventeenth sister. At this time, listening to his sister-in-law's barrage of inquiries, Li Yi hurriedly replied with a smile:

"I said Seventeenth Sister, are you well-informed enough! The third brother has just found out, and most of the culprits in this case are the work of cat demons, how did you know so quickly?" After that, Li Yi looked at Yiqing again, and said in his heart, My seventeenth sister is in the deep palace, how can I know these rumors in the streets and alleys? I don't need to guess to know, it must be you Yiqing who told her.

Yiqing also smiled and said: "Brother Li, Sister Xiaoqi and I have nothing to do these days, and I will tell her all about your case......

Li Qi grabbed Li Yi's hand and shook it, and then asked: "Third brother, tell me quickly! Where is that cat demon hiding now? Have you caught it? If you haven't caught it yet, this princess will have to go out in person......

"Are you going to 'go out in person' to catch the demon again?" Seventeenth sister, don't you forget, last month you ventured out of the city, and in Jinding Mountain in the south of the city, you were almost devoured by that black tiger spirit!" Li Yi heard Li Qi want to hunt the demon in person, and before she could finish speaking, her face immediately turned cold and she said in a deep voice.

"Third brother, you ...... I hate it!" Li Qi shook off Li Yi's arm, pouted, and said angrily: "Last time was different, last time I was not good at learning, and I was attacked by that black tiger spirit! Now I have learned swordsmanship from Sister Yiqing for an extra month, if I meet that black tiger again, hum! Look at this princess, don't rip off its tiger heart, cut its tiger guts!"

Somehow, when Li Qi was talking, he suddenly thought of that in the early morning of that day, he, Xu Ke, and Shu Hatian were not the opponents of the black tiger spirit. The appearance of that handsome boy has remained in her mind since then, and she has not forgotten it for a day...... Follow-up

"What's the difference!" Li Yi said a little angrily: "You can't even beat a black tiger spirit with a little swordsmanship! This time the cat demon is a big demon who has practiced for thousands of years, and the Tao is not much stronger than the black tiger spirit! If you go straight to the door to challenge, aren't you killing yourself?!"

"Third brother...... You!" Li Qi was rarely reprimanded like this by her third brother, and at this time she was still on the street of Chang'an City, in front of so many passers-by, and was scolded by her third brother, Li Qi had nothing to say for a while, and actually left tears of grievance.

"Okay...... Okay" Yiqing hurriedly stepped forward and comforted: "Brother Li, don't blame Sister Xiaoqi, although she is not good at swordsmanship, she is anxious to catch the cat demon, and she also cares about you......!

"Really?" Li Yi also felt that Fang Cai's reproach was too harsh, and at this time, seeing that Li Qi had tears in his eyes, he couldn't bear it in his heart.

"That's it, Sister Yiqing still understands me!" Li Qiwu pouted to himself, stomped his feet, and turned his head away.

"Seventeenth sister ......" Seeing that her sister seemed to be really sad, Li Yi hurriedly chased forward and coaxed repeatedly: "The third brother is a little heavier, and the third brother will make a compensatory to you......!" It's almost noon now, and you must be hungry, the third brother invites you to go to the Star Picking Tower for a big meal, just as I am the elder brother, and I will make amends to you!"

Yiqing, who walked behind, was naturally full of joy, and when she thought of the scenery on the top floor of the Star Picking Tower, she was extremely looking forward to it, not to mention the various famous spots and exquisite delicacies there. She was about to say a "good" word, but she heard Li Qiwu in front of her pouting and saying:

"I don't want to pick the star tower, I'm tired of eating the dishes there!"

Li Yi hurriedly asked, "That...... Seventeenth sister, where do you want to eat?" he said in his heart, you are tired of eating Xinglou, you definitely don't want to go to Deyue Tower, the two most famous restaurants in Chang'an City are not in the eyes of your seventeenth princess, I really don't know where to take you to eat.

At this time, Li Qi's original aggrieved and tearful expression had been swept away, she suddenly turned around, grabbed Li Yi's arm again, and said with excitement in her eyes:

"Third brother, I heard that there is a small restaurant in the south of the city, what is the name of 'Sanssouci Ju'...... Carefree, I think it's interesting to hear the name, how about you take us there for dinner?"

"Okay! Wherever the seventeenth sister wants to go, the third brother will take you there!" Seeing that Li Qi had "turned from sorrow to joy" at this time, Li Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he said in his heart that this girl's mood is really changing faster than the weather!

So, the three of them walked all the way, and only walked for half a quarter to the south, and then came to the "worry-free residence" in the south of the city.

The shopkeeper of "Sanssouci Ju" is an old man in his fifties, who has been running a restaurant in Chang'an City for decades, and has always been a small business, earning some profits from Weibo, barely making a living. The shopkeeper of the restaurant saw that Li Yi and Li Qi were both dressed in brocade clothes, and looking at their appearance, they were not the princes and grandsons but also wealthy relatives, and the shopkeeper was surprised, so he hurriedly stepped forward in person, hurriedly bowed to them, and diligently introduced them into the lobby of the restaurant.

Li Yi looked around and saw that this restaurant had only one floor, and there were some ordinary diners sitting around the dozen or so square tables in the lobby, most of them people in cloth and short shirts. He originally wanted a private room, but looking at the shopkeeper's look, he also knew that this small restaurant did not have any special private rooms at all. Li Yi had to ask for a window seat and instructed the store to just deliver good wine and food!

After the wine and dishes were ready, Li Yi put a few chopsticks in his mouth to taste, but he also felt that these dishes were quite folk characteristics, and obviously the chef of this restaurant also had some means. He saw that Yiqing and Li Qi had been putting all kinds of dishes in their mouths and chewing them at this time, and he couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart. It seems that his seventeenth sister is used to eating palace delicacies, and now in this inconspicuous small restaurant, she eats with relish......

Li Yi raised his glass and took a sip of wine, and suddenly felt that the wine tasted bland, which did not match the fragrant dishes in front of him. He called the shopkeeper and asked, "What kind of wine is this?"

The shopkeeper said: "Back to this son, this is the best wine in the shop, five years old Fenyang! Now a pot of wine will cost at least three taels of silver!" The shopkeeper said as he stretched out three fingers, as if he was worried that Li Yi would not believe what he said.

Li Yi casually took out a silver ticket from his arms, handed it to the shopkeeper, and instructed: "In this way, you send someone to rush to Dongshi to buy a forty-year-old 'Fenyang drunkard'!"

When the shopkeeper saw the silver ticket in his hand, and what was written on the ticket was actually "one thousand taels", he was suddenly frightened, and the silver ticket in his hand almost fell to the ground...... It's too big, the old man is really ...... I really don't dare to ......."

Li Qi snatched the silver ticket from the shopkeeper's hand, and said angrily to Li Yi: "Third brother, you want to scare this old man to death!" She took out a silver cake from her arms and estimated that it weighed about twenty taels. She handed the silver cake to the shopkeeper, and said warmly: "Shopkeeper, you take this silver to a nearby winery to make a few pots of good wine, and the ten-year-old Fenyang is enough!"

"Thank you for this young lady, the old man will come when he goes!" The shopkeeper hurriedly took the silver cake and went to buy wine.

Li Qi handed back the silver ticket with a denomination of 1,000 taels to Li Yi, and teased himself: "My third brother, do you think this is your family's palace! The silver ticket you just now is enough to buy more than a dozen of his restaurants, how dare you take it if you call him an honest family?"

"Is that ......?" Li Yi looked at the silver ticket in his hand, and touched his chin again, as if he was still a little puzzled:

"It's just a silver ticket, how can it scare people like that?"
