Chapter 20: Sycamore Lane is not an alley
"Three or three masters, please inside!" said the shopkeeper who looked at Jiang Yun and the three of them tremblingly, his eyes full of fear.
"We're not bad people, what are you trembling about? If it weren't for us, you would have been beaten down by that big fool!" Huo Qingling glared at the shopkeeper and said.
A word woke up the person in the dream, and the shopkeeper slowly came back to his senses, and he said with a sudden realization.
"Yes, the three of them are good people, what am I afraid of, hehe, the three upstairs please!"
The brief episode didn't affect Apricot's appetite in the slightest, and as soon as the food was served, she started to move her hands at the same time. After a while, the apricots ate with a mouth full of oil.
Huo Qingling said embarrassedly, "Hehe, she is usually like this, she can't walk when she sees delicious food." ”
"It's okay, where are you going to go after eating?" Jiang Yun said.
After thinking for a moment, Huo Qingling said, "I want to go to Wutong Lane to have a look, where all kinds of strange gadgets are sold!"
Jiang Yun nodded slightly, in order to enter the Moon Worship Villa smoothly, he could only stay by Huo Qingling's side temporarily
In a golden hall, a woman dressed in green clothes and wearing a silver crescent-shaped mask sat on the throne in the center of the hall with her body tilted. Below the woman in Tsing Yi, dozens of women wearing red, white, and blue clothes stood respectfully.
The oldest of these women was in her early twenties, and the youngest was only twelve or thirteen years old.
"Is there any new development in that matter?" said the woman in Tsing Yi coldly with one hand on her cheek.
"Qiyu Pavilion Master, according to the report from the spies of this pavilion, half of the major sects in the martial arts have gone to the Moon Worship Villa, that Jiang Yun has already appeared in Xixuan City, and now he is with Huo Qingling, the eldest lady of the Moon Worship Villa. However, Jiang Yun and Huo Qingling seem to have just met. As for the people of the 'Hundred Faced Lang Jun' and the 'Shadow Alliance', no trace of them has been found so far!" said a woman in blue at the head of the left.
The woman in Tsing Yi did not speak, her face could not see any joy, anger and sorrow, and the women standing below did not dare to pant loudly, and there was silence in the hall for a while.
With a slight sneer, the woman in Tsing Yi spoke, "It's a little interesting, Jiang Yun will keep a close watch on me, and whoever he has been in contact with will be checked for me." As for the people of the 'Hundred Faces Lang Jun' and the 'Shadow Alliance', leave him alone for now, they will show up when it's time to show up. In addition, the Moon Worship Mountain Villa will also send someone to watch me, this time the plan cannot be missed, who wants to make a mistake in this palace!
"Subordinates obey!" said the woman in blue respectfully.
"Stand down!" the woman in Tsing Yi waved her hand downward, and everyone bowed and retreated.
"Hmph, Liang Yunshan, Fang Tianyang, one day I will let you die without a place to be buried!" the woman in Tsing Yi muttered to herself, a trace of viciousness flashing from her eyes
Wutong Lane in Xixuancheng, people come and go endlessly, and all kinds of stalls stand on both sides of the street. This was originally a small alley that was not spacious, and later it was rumored that the sword god Dongfang Hong and the sword tyrant Yan Nanfei fought here for three days and three nights, and the alley here was moved to the ground, and later it was rebuilt into a street, but the name Wutong Lane was retained.
There were three men in Wutong Alley, one tall and two short, they were Jiang Yun and Huo Qingling's master and servant.
As soon as he saw the dazzling gadgets, Huo Qingling smiled and pulled Xing'er around with a smile.
"Xing'er, come and see this thing, it's fun, you can see all kinds of patterns in it!" Huo Qingling picked up the kaleidoscope on the stall in front of him and played happily.
"Young master, let me play!" Apricot ran over.
Behind them, Jiang Yun followed helplessly, no matter what era it is, it is not easy to accompany women to go shopping, because many times, they only look at it and don't buy it, and even if they want to buy it, they have to run a lot of houses.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his forties, and when he saw Huo Qingling and Xing'er playing with the kaleidoscope, he deliberately boasted with joy in his heart.
"This boy has good eyesight, my magic tube is a foreign thing purchased from the 'Sain Country', and there is nothing else!"
"Then how much does this magic tube cost?" Huo Qingling asked.
The stall owner smiled slightly, squinted his eyes and said, "My magic boy costs five taels of silver for transportation alone, I see that my son loves this thing so much, I will sell it to you at a loss, and you can take four taels of silver!"
Huo Qingling took out his money bag and was about to pay, but was stopped by Jiang Yun.
"I've seen this thing in Biyun City, and it's not worth anything at all, next time I'll go to Biyun City and bring one back for you!" Jiang Yun said.
Seeing that Jiang Yun had taken Huo Qingling and Xing'er away, the stall owner suddenly became anxious, "Son, please stay, the price can be negotiated, three taels of silver and two taels"
After a final bargain, the magic tube was sold for fifty yuan.
"Fortunately, you have seen the magic tube, otherwise we would definitely be deceived by that bad stall owner today!" Huo Qingling said indignantly.
"Actually, I haven't seen this magic cylinder!" Jiang Yun said with a faint smile.
"What about you?" Huo Qingling asked puzzled.
"I see that you rarely go out on weekdays, and you don't know how to read words and feelings, and that stall owner has discovered this, so he will deceive you, I just deliberately pulled you away, this is called wanting to catch and indulge!" Jiang Yun explained.
"I can't imagine that you're quite smart, by the way, what's your name? I can't always tell you to feed, right?" Huo Qingling said with flashing eyebrows.
"My name is Yunjiang, the cloud of white clouds, the river of rivers. Jiang Yun thought for a while and then said.
The so-called rivers and lakes are sinister, people's hearts are unpredictable, and Jiang Yun will not tell the truth before he really understands a person. It's saying that he's not completely lying, he's just turning the name upside down.
"Then I'll call you Brother Yun, my surname is Huo, you can call me Brother Huo, as for my name, you will know it later. Huo Qingling asked with a smile.
At this time, suddenly there was a sound of fighting in front of her, and Xing'er looked curiously in the direction where the sound came from.
"Young master, there seems to be someone fighting over there!"
"What's so nice about this, now there are dragons and snakes fighting in Xixuan City from time to time, let's go to the front and see if there are any other novel gadgets. Huo Qingling glanced at Xing'er and said.
Jiang Yun also looked indifferent to this, and where there were people, there was a fight, this is the rivers and lakes. Not to mention fighting, even killing people and setting fires are commonplace.
Just as Jiang Yun was about to continue to follow Huo Qingling to hang out, a familiar voice came from the direction of the fight, which made him stop
