Chapter 182: Things Are Wrong
Thang Long City.
Kyoto, the Empire of the Sky Empire, is full of prosperity and grace. It is located in the north of the entire empire, although it is not the extreme north, but at this moment, you can still feel a little cold in the air of the season.
When it's warm and cold, it's the hardest to breathe.
Different from the solemn and fierce life of the soldiers and horses in Duorui City and the Three Evil Passes, this place is full of prosperous scenes of singing and dancing, and outside Suzaku Street, horse-drawn carriages are rolling, crowds of people are surging, and the river is endless.
The attic, the teahouse, and the curved platform are lined up one after another, full of extravagant scenes.
In a restaurant, the second floor is the most crowded with guests, and outside the central wing, there are storytellers talking at the table, shaking their fans. I only heard him say slowly: "...... When Miss Sun Meixiang learned of the disappearance of His Royal Highness the Prince, although she came back from the frontier garrison, she swore not to marry in this life, and married a nun in the 'Taiyuan Taoist Temple' outside the capital, and eight years passed in a flash. During this period, countless talented people and celebrities came to visit, but none of them could touch their hearts. The old guy remembered that once, it was a great talent from Shiyue City in the southwest, called Li Hai, he made a special trip to Beijing, fell in love with Miss Sun at first sight, and guarded the Taoist temple on the mountain for three years, and made more than ten poems, the first one was touching, but despite this, he still couldn't shake Miss Meixiang's determination, and Zuihou had no choice but to leave. Miss Sun's approach makes people sigh and respect......"
The storyteller shook his head, his fingers tapped on the table from time to time, and told the well-known Sun Meixiang in the capital that he swore to make a decision.
After saying a paragraph, the audience echoed: "Yes, Miss Sun is really a strange woman......"
"It's a pity that the overlord is not there, in the eyes of Miss Sun, all the men in the world are rotten, otherwise I can marry such a woman, even if I die now, I am willing......"
"Yes, yes, if you have a wife, what more can a husband ask for. Poor Miss Sun, just like this, she has been lonely all her life......"
There was a sigh from outside the box and the hall, and he seemed extremely excited. Although the matter of Sun Meixiang has been circulated for so long, it is still a matter of renews in the capital, and many talented people are full of ambition and try to kiss Fangze.
After all, such an infatuated woman, and she is both talented and beautiful, is really a good match in a man's heart.
The storyteller saw that the atmosphere of the scene was aroused, and his mood was even higher, and when he opened his mouth to speak, it was like rain falling on the eaves, snapping continuously, and foaming at the mouth. A strange fate has been going on for half an hour, and it doesn't stop.
At this time, a man in a black robe walked up to the bottom of the restaurant. He wore a hood, and he was so tight that he couldn't see a trace of his face. The aura on this person's body is a little cold, but it is extremely outstanding, so as soon as he came up, he attracted everyone's attention.
"For you. β
The black-robed man lightly threw out a piece of silver, and with a "bang", it landed steadily on the storyteller's table.
Everyone could tell that this man's voice was a little hoarse, and he couldn't tell his age.
The storyteller's eyes widened, and he felt his heart beat faster as he looked at the fist-sized silver on the table. He hurriedly put the fan away, picked up the silver and bit it in his mouth, and immediately smiled, "Which paragraph do you want to hear if you are not in the guest officer?"
"This money is there to shut you up. The black-robed man said coldly: "When I drink tea, I don't like people to talk and be noisy. β
The storyteller was stunned, and although the black-robed man did not look at him, he felt a frightening chill rise in his heart. He nodded again and again, and said, "Listen to you, listen to you." After receiving such a large piece of silver, he put it in his arms, sat on the chair and hugged his fists to everyone: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's stopped today, it's closed." This was followed by a flurry of boos and dissatisfaction.
This black-robed man who went up to the second floor was none other than Chu Hao, who arrived in the capital in the morning.
Sitting on the chair with black wood paint, there was a faint smell of sandalwood, and he couldn't help but shake his head when he thought that it had only taken five days to get from Dorui City to the capital this time. There were many things that he had to see with his own eyes to find out. The burning mood is quiet at the moment.
Picking up the tea cup on the table and shaking it, Chu Hao took a sip, and Chu Hao looked out the window. Through the loft of the house, the prince's mansion on Suzaku Street seems to have really become depressed.
Putting down the teacup, Chu Hao whispered to himself and muttered: "If it had been placed in the past, no matter how inferior the tea was, I would not have tasted bitter." Yue'er, you messed with my taste, but you're gone......"
Not only is this tea bitter, but now the smile is also bitter.
Putting his thoughts aside, Chu Hao sat quietly by the window for a while. Xiao Er came to his side a few times, and Zuihou finally raised the courage to speak: "Guest officer, what do you want?"
"Quiet. Chu Hao frowned, then took a deep breath, took out a silver ticket of 10,000 taels from his arms, and put it on the table without looking at it: "A cup of tea, I will cover it on the second floor." β
The little second was like the storyteller, his eyes widened again, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes...... " It didn't take long for the steward to come up, seeing Chu Hao's appearance, he knew that he didn't like to deal with people, so he hurriedly started to clear the scene and make amends.
Chu Hao ignored all this, as if it was not him who threw out 10,000 taels just now, but someone else. He still held the teacup in one hand, pillowed the table in the other, and turned his head out of the window, holding this position for a long, long time.
There was a lot of darkness on the second floor, and then someone came up and lit the lights, and after a while, the lights went out again......
On the fourth day, when Xiao Er went upstairs to clean again, he looked at the window in surprise, but there was no shadow of the black-robed man who behaved strangely. Presumably gone.
Chu Hao is indeed gone.
Coming out of the restaurant, he did not enter the wealthy area of Suzaku Street, but went in the other direction. Although there was no wall to stop him, there was an impassable wall in his heart, which lasted forever.
Things are not people, nothing more than that.
It's just that when you return to a familiar place and see everything that is familiar, only you are unfamiliar, does this word apply to this mood as well?
Chu Hao was even thinking that when he could return to the Fifth Heaven one day, would he have emotions ten million times stronger than this, and at that time, it should be even more suffocating.
In less than half an hour, Chu Hao came to the same strange place. It was a shop, and on the gilded signboard, five big characters were written "Yanyu Jewelry Store".
Chu Hao stood at the door and looked at him stunned for a long time, and after a long time, many rich ladies began to point fingers at him. I think he's so rude.
The jewelry store is not big, but it is full of a luxurious atmosphere, I don't know if it is because of the illusion, Chu Hao still feels a kind of warmth. After hesitating for a moment, he finally walked inβ
There is another chapter later, asking for red tickets and collections. In the new week, when the mundane things are dealt with, the road of revenge of the little overlord will begin, and it will definitely be an exciting plot.
