Chapter 12: On the Way Home
"Whew!"
At this time, in front of the east gate of the imperial city stood a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy and a slightly younger girl, the boy was wearing a slightly wide coat of earthy gray, black shorts underneath, a small package on his back, and a broken straw hat. www.biquge.info The girl wears a faded red gown and light blue coarse shorts. Both of them were wearing straw sandals, their clothes and pants were patched, and their faces were full of joy when they were covered with dirt.
"Shu'er, we have finally arrived at the Imperial City, this is the Imperial City, how spectacular is it?" the boy said to the girl, pointing to the city gate.
"Well, the gate of the imperial city is so big! Many people have entered the city, and there is still a monster riding a monster!"
The girl obviously came to the imperial city for the first time, and her face was full of excitement and pointed to a huge demon beast, then her eyes moved to the city wall and pointed to the soldiers above again and shouted in surprise: "Look at the mighty guards on the city, it looks really mighty!"
After these two children left a letter to Yunjiang, they traveled thirty miles, and finally came to Xia Fan and Yun Shu under the imperial city before the sun set.
Xia Fan followed Yun Shu's hand and looked at the city wall, in fact, at this time, Xia Fan's divine sense had already probed the city wall, looking for the owner of the last voice heard when the Xia land was attacked that day-Lian Yi, but after some searching, he didn't find it, I don't know if Lian Yi didn't come, or if it was in a place where his divine consciousness was not shrouded.
"Let's go! There's still a bit of walking to get into town. ”
didn't find Lian Yi Xia Fan didn't care, the coming day was long, he believed that as long as Lian Yi didn't die, there was always a chance, so he pulled Yun Shu and walked towards the city gate.
Entering the city gate, the two of them went directly to the General's Mansion, although it was already dusk, there were still many people on the street, Yun Shu looked at everything he saw curiously, and kept asking Xia Fan that, Xia Fan also patiently answered for Yun Shu. Seeing that Yun Shu was interested in everything, Xia Fan kept looking around, and when he saw a shop, he pulled Yun Shu in.
"Go, where did the beggar come from!"
As soon as Xia Fan and Yun Shu walked into the store, the shopkeeper of the store hurried to the two of them.
"Humph!"
Xia Fan snorted coldly, his voice was mixed with spiritual power, and at the same time, the spiritual pressure of the foundation building period was released to this person, and the shopkeeper immediately felt a burst of excitement, and was in a cold sweat, looking at Xia Fan's eyes full of fear, obviously just an ordinary person.
Xia Fan hated such a dog-eyed person who looked down on people the most, and his cold voice sounded again: "Shopkeeper, you must know that people can't be disgraced, understand?"
"Understood, understood! I don't know what it means to come to the shop objectively?" The shopkeeper knew that he was gone, and this young man turned out to be a master, so he responded repeatedly, and at the same time, he also felt relieved, so he hurriedly greeted Xia Fan flatteringly.
Xia Fan was very satisfied with the change in the shopkeeper's attitude, and was originally worried that what he was going to do next might require some twists and turns, but now he saw that it was much easier to see what he had just done.
"That's right!"
Saying that, Xia Fan put his hand into his arms, took out a piece of jade, and then handed it to the shopkeeper, a moment later, Xia Fan led Yun Shu out again, and there were hundreds of taels of silver on his body, it was Xia Fan who pawned a piece of jade pendant that Xia Dadi had carried since childhood, of course, that jade pendant was not only worth this money, but Xia Fan could redeem it at any time.
"Let's go! Now that we have money, I'll take you to eat something delicious!"
At this time, Yun Shu was still in the shock just now, it was the first time she had seen so much silver, and it was also the first time she saw that a gadget could be exchanged for so much silver, Xia Fan directly pulled Yun Shu onto the street, and then walked towards a restaurant.
When Yun Shu reacted, Xia Fan was already in a private room in a restaurant with her, and as the delicious flavors with different colors and attractive aromas were served, Yun Shu was only slightly restrained, and then forgot about everything else and ate it unwillingly. Xia Fan was also the first time in the world to taste the dishes here in a real sense, so he indulged once, and the two of them gobbled up for a while, and then swept away a large table of food, and then they all half lay on the chair and chatted without saying a word.
The two were chatting when there was a sudden knock on the door, and before Xia Fan could speak, he heard the voice of a knocker outside the door.
"Childe, I'm the shopkeeper here, can I come in?"
As this voice sounded, Yun Shu straightened his body, and Xia Fan showed a sneer on his face, and his body didn't even move.
"Come in!"
With Xia Fan's permission, the door of the private room opened, and a middle-aged man with a smile walked in, the middle-aged man swept the food on the table, and then set his eyes on Xia Fan, and the smile on his face increased a little.
"Childe, are you done eating?"
"No! We were eating, and your sudden intrusion made us lose our appetite at all. Xia Fan said lazily.
"Huh!" The middle-aged man obviously didn't expect the other party to answer like this, and he didn't know how to continue the following topic for a while.
"Okay, tell me, why bother us to eat?
Xia Fan looked impatient, and while speaking, he took out a handful of silver and threw it on the table, this one has at least several silver ingots of fifty taels, and it is definitely more than enough to pay for the meals on this table.
"Childe said and laughed, how can I be afraid that Childe will not give money when the shop is open to do business, but just now two guests came to this private room of Childe, and I am helpless, so I will see if Childe has finished eating, if Childe finishes eating, I will give Childe a 20% discount, please make it convenient, grateful!"
In the eyes of the middle-aged man, Xia Fan was by no means an ordinary person who could throw out a few big silver ingots so easily, he knew that Xia Fan was dissatisfied with him, but remembering that the two outside must not be offended, he had to say to Xia Fan hard, since you have finished eating, it is better to sell my personal favor, but then Xia Fan's answer suddenly made him fall into exhaustion again, and he had an urge to kill this child.
"The shopkeeper is not right, it's not a matter of money, we really haven't finished eating, let me ask the shopkeeper, if you enter a restaurant, just halfway through the meal, someone asks you to sell his personal favor and don't eat, how will the shopkeeper feel?"
Xia Fan's voice fell, and the smile on the shopkeeper's face suddenly froze there, and then he wanted to say something without smiling, and he had nothing to say for a while, Yun Shu, who was only watching, covered his mouth and tried hard to control himself from laughing, but obviously his voice was uncontrollable, but Xia Fan was unmoved.
"Smack!"
The door was kicked open, and then two people appeared behind the middle-aged man, both of whom were thin and weak, the difference was that one was shorter, while the other was slightly taller, and the middle-aged man quickly turned to look at the two, wanting to say something.
"Boy, don't fucking shame!"
I saw that after the two entered the door, one of the shorter ones shouted directly into the house, and at the same time, he directly pushed the middle-aged shopkeeper to the side, and the slightly taller person wanted to stop it, but it was obviously too late.
"Tell me! How can I get out?"
Xia Fan saw the two of them and immediately sneered again in his heart, these two people were the people who followed Xia Dadi at the beginning, although the two of them were thin and weak, but Xia Fan could obviously feel the power of Peng Bai in the other party's body, Xia Fan directly judged that the two must be the strong martial cultivators of the Lingwu Realm, so it is very likely that Xia Dadi was killed by these two people at the beginning.
After making up his mind, Xia Fan needs to confirm the identities of these two people again, and after confirming the identities of the two, he is trying to find a way to capture the two, Xia Fan does not believe that after falling into his hands, he can not get the news he wants.
"Hmph, who do you think you are? I am the nephew of Lord Wen Chengyunwen, the official of the imperial court, and my uncle said that unless I meet someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion in the imperial city, whoever dares to bully me will make the person who bullied me look good!"
Wen Chengyun is the civil official of the Inner Dynasty in the Xia Dynasty second only to Qiu Yangxu, the important thing is that the two are very close, and Wen Chengyun has no children, Wen Chengyun is also not a good thing in Xia Fan's opinion, so Xia Fan used this person to arrange an identity for himself.
Sure enough, when the two of them heard this, the expression on their faces gradually softened, and they saw that the shorter emaciated young man glanced at the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper walked out and then closed the door.
"It turned out to be Lord Wen's nephew, Master Wen was disrespectful, we are the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and we were really offended just now. In the lower skin three, this is my second brother skin two. ”
This shorter thin man stepped forward and hugged his fists to report his identity, which was really similar to what Xia Fan guessed, otherwise it would be impossible to change into such an attitude, and after confirming his guess, he was looking for an opportunity to capture the two, so Xia Fan continued to act.
"Oh?" Xia Fan pretended to be surprised, and then got up and walked towards the two of them as if they were all members of his own family, and saw the two of them pushed to the table: "It turns out that it is really the brother of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I said it earlier! ”
Sure enough, the two of them responded politely when they heard it, maybe it was Xia Fan's action of hugging the two just now that made them feel that this Wen Gongzi was very easy to get along with, and they quickly chatted with Xia Fan, but before they could talk a few words, they heard Xia Fan suddenly exclaim.
"Oh!
"What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry, two brothers, I secretly ran back with my sister, it's about to be time, if my uncle finds out that we are not there, he will definitely punish us, why don't we meet here again at this time tomorrow, and then I will be the east." ”
As Xia Fan spoke, he dropped a handful of silver again, pulled Yun Shu and walked out.
"Hey......"
The two wanted to stop Xia Fan, but Xia Fan ignored the two, pulled Yun Shu and ran downstairs and left the restaurant in a panic under the gaze of the two.
After leaving the restaurant, it was almost dark, Xia Fan took Yun Shu for a while, found a hooves beast car, and headed in the direction of the General's Mansion.
