Chapter 882, Yangzhou style

The sun has risen, the warm light shines on the city wall of Yangzhou City, and the shadows of the pedestrians on the ground are stretched long, jagged and mottled, and mixed.

The gate of Yangzhou East City. Two soldiers guarding the city guarded the gate of the city to check the manners and appearances of the passers-by, carefully compared them with the two paintings in their hands, and after checking them, they put them into the city one by one. Although these soldiers were relatively familiar, there was still a long queue at the city gate.

"You two, what are you doing in the city?" the soldier asked in a cold voice, stopping a man and woman pushing a small cart.

"We went into the city to sell beans. The family lives in a small river valley ten miles away, and after a night of driving, the things are sinking, and the official will do a good job, so the things will not be unloaded. The woman spoke in her voice.

The officer and soldier said, "Raise your head!"

The woman slowly looked up, and saw that her face was covered with dirt and dirt, and the headscarf on her face was torn in several places. opened his mouth and smiled, and there were a few places of yellow mud on his teeth. The man carefully compared the scroll in his hand. The other person also examined the man. The soldier said, "Have you seen these two people?"

When the two of them looked at the scroll, they saw a man and a woman painted on it, the man's face was clear and full of energy. The woman's appearance is extremely beautiful, even if she paints a few strokes, you can see the face of the alluring city. The people in the painting are Ran Tianluo and Shi Yunyang, they guessed correctly, and now they are really wanted by the imperial court. Unexpectedly, even the Jiangnan realm was being searched for on such a large scale, and it seemed that Emperor Zhenguan attached great importance to this matter.

Seeing this painting, the two shook their heads again and again, and said, "I've never seen it before." ”

"If you see these two people, quickly go to the Assassin's Mansion to report, and you can get 1,000 taels of silver. The two of them exclaimed, and then nodded in agreement. The two soldiers waved their hands and shouted, "Next, what are you doing, where do you live, what's in the burden?"

As the soldier interrogated, the man and the woman had already pushed the cart into the city gate. The two looked at each other and smiled, and the man sighed: "With the skills of the two of us, why do we have to enter the city so aggrieved." ”

The woman laughed and said, "It's funny, we can't just hide all the time, and no one can recognize us when we walk down the street." How good it is to be an ordinary person. ”

The man smiled helplessly: "Don't forget, the heads of the two of us are worth a thousand taels." ”

The woman grinned and said, "That's good, when I'm upset, I'll exchange you for five hundred taels of silver." ”

These two people are Shi Yunyang and Ran Tianluo after the disguise. Before entering the city, Ran Qianluo deliberately dressed the two of them in a rustic manner, but he didn't expect to really deceive those guards. The spiritual power in Fang Cairan's hands had never relaxed, and as soon as the soldier found out, she could immediately control the consciousness of the two people. But it seems to be too much to worry about.

Ran Tianluo sat on the side of the cart, looking at the surrounding scenery, and couldn't help but feel surprised. "Yun Yang, you see it's so lively over there. ”

Shi Yunyang looked around, and saw that there was a lively and extraordinary scene all around. The streets are paved with smooth bricks and lined with shops. Whether it is a luxury carriage or a hawker on the street, it is full of people. All kinds of sounds are mixed together, and the prosperity is simply better than the capital Chang'an. Since ancient times, Yangzhou is the most prosperous area in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is a saying that Yangzhou City is prosperous and rich. This is evident from this.

At this time, walking on the street, looking around, I saw the lake in the distance, the shadow of the willow reflected in the water, the breeze moved, and the water was quiet and beautiful. Yangzhou is most famous for its beautiful lakes and mountains, and Slender West Lake is even more famous. After walking a few steps and bypassing the fantastical buildings under the light and shadow, you can see the exquisite Wuting Bridge on the Slender West Lake. The eaves are flying, delicate and extraordinary, in a trance, just like the appearance of Shengjing, Langyuan Yao Pond, Yuyu Pavilion, it is really beautiful in the painting.

The beauty of Yangzhou is very different from the beauty of Chang'an, Chang'an is bustling, and the streets of sixteen carriages alone have shown a strong imperial demeanor. However, Yangzhou City is different, although it is luxurious, but it does not have the strong atmosphere of the Son of Heaven like Chang'an City. As far as the eye can see, I see the streets interspersed and the alleys become forests. Small vendors move around. The awning boat glides slowly in the water, carrying a long wave mark under the arched bridge. Tranquility and liveliness coexist, the beauty here is not publicized, the small jasper, the grace of Na, seems to have been dyed with the softness of the south of the Yangtze River.

Both of them were attracted by the scenery here, and they couldn't stop looking left and right for a while. Before I knew it, I turned to the wharf again, and I saw that the river was endless, the wind was calm, and a long wooden shelf was built on the wharf. There are multiple layers on the top and bottom. Hundreds of huge ships are docked on the shore, and there are countless small and medium-sized ships, some are sailing away, some are anchoring, some are docking, some ships have docked, hundreds of laborers are carrying goods from cargo ships, there are shouts and trumpets everywhere, and there is a busy scene everywhere you look.

"Yun Yang, do you think these ships belong to Han Gongzi's family?"

Shi Yunyang shook his head and said, "If that's the case, the wealth of this Han family is really amazing." "Ran Tianluo looked left and right, it was very novel. Hearing the sound of a wine shop selling from a distance, she suddenly remembered Luo Xiaocheng again, and said, "If the eldest brother is here, he will definitely go to the wine shop first." I don't know where they are now. ”

Shi Yunyang said, "It shouldn't be long before we can find them." Let's go to the Han Mansion first and ask if Han Lun is there. ”

Ran Tianluo readily agreed. This place is not difficult to find, almost everyone in Yangzhou City knows the Han Mansion, the two walked on the street to find someone to inquire, and soon found the location of the Han Mansion.

When I came to the outside of the Han Mansion, I saw that the gate of the Han Mansion was already extraordinary, with vermilion hugging pillars and flying pavilions. The two pairs of stone lions at the door have been gilded with gold. There is a huge plaque hanging in the middle of the door of the mansion, with two big characters of "Han Mansion" written on it, which is clearly the handwriting of Ouyang Xun, the master of the previous dynasty.

At this time, the gate of the Han Mansion was open, and it was faintly visible that there were people coming and going during the period, and it seemed to be a busy scene. The two of them walked up the stone steps and were about to step in. Suddenly stopped by a voice.

"Please stay, if you want to sell goods, please go through the backyard gate. The two of them looked for sounds, and saw a man wearing a tall hat and the appearance of a butler in gorgeous silk approaching. Shi Yunyang couldn't help but sigh, he couldn't imagine that this Han family even had such extravagant clothes.

He arched his hand and said, "Sorry to bother, we're here to find someone." ”

The man returned the salute and said, "May I ask who are you looking for?"

"I don't know if Gongzi Han is in the house, please announce it, and say that the old man is visiting. Shi Yunyang said.

"Are you two friends with Childe?" the two nodded, and the man glanced at the two of them, a little unconvinced. As if he was thinking, how could Han Lun make friends with poor people like them. But this man was not arrogant, but he bowed his hand again, and said apologetically:

"I'm afraid the two of them are disappointed. Don't hide it, my son-in-law was once taken by the Xiuxian sect and left home to learn martial arts, and now it has been many years. In recent years, he has never returned to Yangzhou. ”

Ran Tianluo said: "Isn't there any news about the Han family recently?" The man shook his head and said strangely: "Could it be that the two of you know the whereabouts of my son-in-law?"

Shi Yunyang smiled: "We were still together some time ago, but Han Lun seems to have something to leave for a while. After we separated, we didn't hear from him, so we came to Yangzhou to find him. I didn't know that he didn't come home. ”

When the man heard this, he said with concern: "Is my son-in-law okay?"

Shi Yunyang said: "He is very good, he may come back to Yangzhou in the near future." The man smiled happily and said, "That's good, I haven't seen my son-in-law for two years, and I miss it very much." Childe has a wide range of friends all over the world, and he won't be at home when he plays this one. He smiled and said suddenly: "Oh, you two might as well go to the Su Qing Sword Sect in Wuyi Mountain to find it, Gongzi may be there." ”

Shi Yunyang and Ran Tianluo thanked the man, then said goodbye to leave, the man left the two of them into the living room to eat tea, Ran Shi and the two politely declined, and the man sent them out, saying: "If the two of you meet the son, please tell me, and say that the master misses him very much, and ask him to go back to Yangzhou as soon as possible." ”

The two of them should leave, and then they said goodbye.

The two walked down the street, and they couldn't help but feel a little gloomy. Ran Tianluo said: "I didn't expect to find them in one fell swoop." Shi Yunyang said: "But at least I know that they are not in Yangzhou, since they are not here, they must be in Wuyi Mountain." We're going wherever we go. Ran Qianluo nodded. Shi Yunyang said: "But there is one more thing to do before this. ”

"What's the matter?"

"I've eaten the fruit in Xiaoguixu for a month, don't you want to change your taste? This is Yangzhou, we haven't eaten for a long time. Shi Yunyang said. Ran Tianluo smiled: "It's okay if you don't say it, I'm really hungry when I say this." Knowing the general whereabouts of Han Gongzi and them, there is no hurry now, so let's rest first, eat something before leaving. ”

Shi Yunyang nodded, and the two pushed the cart and walked towards an inn. The two put the cart at the door, packed up their clothes, and stepped into the door, and after entering the door, they turned the corner and went up to the second floor.

"What do the two guest officers order, the dishes that the shop specializes in are braised catfish head, crab roe lion head, steamed osmanthus fish, boiled dried shreds, three sets of duck, and four happy balls"

"Wait" As soon as Xiao Er came up, he reported a large list of dish names, but was interrupted by Shi Yunyang before he finished speaking. "We are not natives of Yangzhou, and we can't remember what you said." ”

"What kind of flavor do the two guest officers like? ”

Ran Tianluo meditated for a moment and said, "Just one or two of the best dishes in your store." The shopkeeper Nuo Nuo said, and then turned around and shouted: "Dismantle the stewed catfish head and crab roe lion head!!"

The two poured a cup of tea and drank it slowly, talking and laughing about the scenery they had just seen. Suddenly, a strange energy came into Ran Tianluo's consciousness. She suddenly put down the teacup and turned her head slightly, only to see a person coming up from the staircase. He is dressed in a pale green robe, with red hair and a red mask. It is particularly unique in this inn.

"What a strong energy fluctuation. Ran Tianluo couldn't help but be surprised.
