Chapter 18 Xiong Yanai's old wine shop
The two of them, who were originally inconspicuous, suddenly became the attention of all the people, and even the owner of Sanshiju was alarmed, and walked over with the hostess and apologized repeatedly.
"I'm really sorry, two, please forgive me for the poor reception before, there is a private seat upstairs, can you move?"
The proprietor of Sanshiju is a middle-aged man with a kind face and eyebrows like a tiger, who happened to follow the manager of Yuan, saw this scene, and immediately understood the identity of Xiong Yan and the others, which is not trivial.
immediately came to invite him in person, and the waitress behind him was even more terrified and bowed repeatedly, but the two of them were not interested, and they didn't like the situation too eye-catching, so Xiong Yan walked out as soon as he put the chopsticks down, and Shen chased to follow, and the two of them ignored this farce from beginning to end.
Sanshi lived in the owner's house, beckoned back, stared at the backs of the two leaving, and gave some advice, apparently wanting to explore the true identities of Xiong Yan and Shen Chai.
Shen Chai was also shocked, looked at Xiong Yan and said, "Who is that person?
"Yuan Xingfeng, the head of the Fengchuan Emperor's Outer Cabinet, is deeply trusted by the emperor, and he knows but is not familiar with it. Xiong Yan said slowly and unconcernedly.
Shen Chai nodded, as the head of the Imperial Cabinet, although he dealt with some mundane matters, he had a lot of power in his hands, from the two-year-old doll's bottle diapers, to the people's food and clothing, tax tribute, as long as it was related to money, and even the star stone transactions needed by cultivators, he could supervise and interrogate.
This is a complicated, tacky, but extremely important position, after all, the most important thing in people's livelihood is to eat, which even ordinary cultivators can't avoid, unless they cross the star soul to reach the star crossing, they can only rely on the power of the stars of heaven and earth to live.
"But I look at the way he looks, he has so much respect for you, my predecessor has not only been to the Fengchuan Imperial City before, is it so simple?" Shen Chai asked again.
"When I first arrived in Fengchuan, I did live in the Imperial City for a while, but it was just like in Desert Sword City, inconspicuous and not worth mentioning. The two of them were on the street, gradually moving from the bustling crowd into the indifferent alley.
Xiong Yan continued: "As for why he respects me so much, the reason is very simple, no matter how powerful he is, he is just an ordinary person, and I am a cultivator, and I am still a cultivator with a high realm. ”
Shen Chai was silent, expressing his approval of this reason, this world is indeed like this, Xiong Yan said and took out the gold sticker and stuffed it into Shen Chai's hand.
"Let's go and have a look in two days, maybe we can find the person who kidnapped your sister. ”
Shen Chai solemnly accepted it, although he didn't understand what it meant, but presumably Xiong Yan wouldn't open his mouth indiscriminately, there were not many people he could rely on in this life, and the swarthy man beside him was definitely one.
The people in the imperial city, like the people of Fengchuan, are extremely simple, and this simplicity is reflected in the way they talk, the way they dress, and the way they behave.
Children holding the hands of adults, interspersed with play in the lively streets and alleys, the aunt next door slapped her clothes under the stone steps of the small bridge, and the water of the moat, trickling through, surrounded a peaceful scene.
There is a royal street in the east of the city, close to the central Huangcheng Avenue, the street is bright and clean, the houses on the left and right are of different heights, there are different stores, full of vitality, there is an old wine shop at the end, which is the place where Xiong Yan said.
......
Two days have passed in a blink of an eye, the signboard of the old wine shop is very small, the business is not bleak, but it is not prosperous, there are only a few benches sitting behind the curtain, but Xiong Yan loves it here, just because of that sip of old wine. Shen Chai has also tasted it in the past two days, it is indeed not as mellow as the Gao Ye Brew of Sanshiju, but there is a spicy to the extreme, the fire is like a knife, such a strong liquor is rare in the world, and people who appreciate it are even rarer.
Shen Chai didn't like it, but he couldn't disturb Xiong Yan's half a pot every day, and he drank the elegance of the morning, and the young man walked in and called to him: "Isn't it the auction today? Why are the seniors still drinking here?"
The two of them lived next to the old wine shop for the past two days, and Shen Chai was waiting for the appearance of the person who brought him here in addition to going out to familiarize himself with the street, but unfortunately there was no movement at all, but Shen Chai knew that they must have known that they had entered the city, and maybe they were still staring at themselves all the time.
As for why he refused to appear, Shen Chai didn't know, and there was no way, it was like fishing, the fish was hooked, but it was the fisherman who chose when to reel in the line.
On the wooden bench, Xiong Yan, who was shrouded in dark light, pursed his lips, expressed his noncommittal, stood up, and said loudly: "Boss." ”
The boss of the shopkeeper, who was also a dark-faced old man, was just a little shorter, he was suddenly surprised, walked out of front of the counter on the right, kept the two of them and said, "I heard that you are going to participate in the auction of the Sky Tower?"
"What, Lao Xu, do you want to see and see too?" The relationship between the two was extremely familiar, and Xiong Yan naturally laughed.
"No," Boss Xu said, "Do you have an invitation?"
Xiong Yan Nunu's mouth, Shen Chai looked at him with a strange expression, took out a gold sticker from his chest, Lao Xu's eyes were surprised, Shen Chai asked, "Do you also know about this auction?"
Lao Xu waved his hand and said: "I also heard the news from an old friend, the matter of the Sky Tower, which can be contacted by an old man who runs a wine shop, and I mention it to you, because I am afraid that you will be beaten out if you don't have an invitation." ”
"What kind of place is this Sky Tower?" Shen Chai then asked.
In the past two days, Xiong Yan only cared about drinking, Shen Chai cautiously looked at the environment in the city, and waited anxiously, but he forgot to ask about the occasion he was about to go to, what was the origin, and it happened that the owner of the wine shop mentioned it today.
"I heard that this Sky Tower only sells one thing except for entertaining guests to drink tea and chat. Speaking of this, Lao Xu looked left and right, and there was no one in the wine shop just after the beginning of the day, so he still lowered his voice and said: "Only sell news!"
"It doesn't matter which widow steals a man's trivial matter, or the treasure hidden in the emperor's imperial study, I heard that you can find out in the Sky Tower. ”
Shen Chai's eyebrows and eyes were upturned, and the different colors were even stronger. The corners of Xiong Yan's mouth were half hooked, and finally he couldn't help laughing, and the echoes in the small wine shop resounded outside the street, and then patted Lao Xu on the shoulder, and then in his inexplicable eyes, he pulled Shen Chai and walked out.
Lao Xu suddenly shouted, "But you don't know where the Shocking Tower came from, where did the invitation come from?"
Feeling that this old man of the wine shop who is over half a hundred years old is still an authentic gossip lover, Shen Chai couldn't help but shake his head, but the reputation of this amazing building is that even ordinary ordinary people know a thing or two, it seems that it should indeed have some strength.
First of all, not everyone is qualified to go in and buy news, and secondly, what is collected from selling news is not money, nor is it Xingshi, but the information of the buyers, and exchanging news for news is the transaction method of Xiaolou.
As long as you have valuable news in your hand, you can buy the news you want in the Sky Tower, no matter which sect's secrets, or the secret treasure of a certain inheritance, as long as it is a matter within the Fengchuan Kingdom, you can inquire clearly, this is the bold words released by the Sky Tower.
