There are actually not many people on the streets of Beijing city in the evening. Most people have gone home before dusk. Also, because it is the imperial city area, there are no ordinary people or street stalls, so the wide roads are sparsely populated.
Fu Mingsu followed behind Lian Youyou and Yun Xi from a distance. Since there was no one around, he could see Lian Youyou and Yun Xi very clearly. He kept his distance and followed them from a distance because he knew that if he approached them and said that he wanted to keep looking for cups with them, he would definitely be rejected.
"Lord Lian, you were so awesome today!" Yun Xi showed an expression of worship to Lian Youyou.
Lian Youyou raised her chin and said proudly: "Who am I? Humph!" When she raised her head, she saw Hei Yan following her on the beam and raised her eyebrows. Is it necessary for Lin Tingjun to look at her so closely
"What about the one behind?" Yun Xi asked softly. It was easy to get rid of Fu Mingsu, but the question was how to get rid of him. They couldn't cast a spell in front of him. The old man had told them to be low-key and not to cast a spell in front of ordinary people unless necessary.
After all, ordinary people cannot distinguish between magic and sorcery. Whether it is magic from the immortals or magic from the demons is determined by their mouths. If someone leads the rhythm and says that all the Nine Gates are demons, then the Nine Gates will only cause harm and no benefit.
Lian Youyou put her hands behind her back, looking contented: "Chase him first."
"Okay!" Yunxi stopped and looked up again. There were few people in the city, so it was easier to track the scent. Soon, Yunxi locked onto the target and raised his eyebrows: "Oh, you're going to the pub to drink a little wine, you're really cool."
Lian Youyou grinned: "Let's go and get some free drinks."
"Haha~~ Master Lian, you really are the one who wants to take advantage of everyone." Yun Xi followed with a smile. Following Master Lian, you don't need to bring money when you go out.
Going south from the Imperial City District, passing the Southern Commercial District, you will reach the Northern District of the capital where all kinds of people live.
The sun sets over Mirror Lake and the red lights come on in the North District.
There are mostly civilians here, and people come and go.
The streets were crowded and smelly, beggars were begging on the streets, and prostitutes were roaming in the alleys.
The drunkard vomited on the roadside, the gambler lost his mind, the sex addict had dull eyes, and the smoker wiped his nose.
Fu Mingsu walked among these people, frowning in disdain, raising his robe sleeves to cover his nose to hide the strange smell in the air. But his jade crown and gorgeous clothes made him a dazzling presence here, and a group of beggars immediately swarmed over him to beg from him.
"Sir, please give me some money, Sir, please give me some money~~"
"Please have mercy on us, please have mercy on us~~"
"Please give us some money. Please be kind and give us some money." A group of child beggars immediately surrounded him. They had dirty little faces and dirty black nails, and they emitted a stench that Fu Mingsuo could not bear.
Under normal circumstances, these beggars would have been defeated by Master Fu's guards long ago, but today, Fu Mingsui followed Lian Youyou and the others all the way, so he did not bring his guards with him.
He immediately threw out a handful of copper coins in disgust, and the coins fell to the ground with a clang. The children and beggars immediately rushed forward to grab them. The older children pushed the younger children away, and the adults pushed the older children away, and the younger children got in again to pick up a leak and ran away.
Only here can we see the most intuitive survival rules of this world. Cruelty, coldness, and the law of the jungle. Just because you are a child, even if you are still a child, you don’t have to join this ruthless rule.
After Fu Mingsui escaped from the group of beggars, he looked up and saw Lian Youyou and Yun Xi still walking slowly among the crowd. He was confused. Lian Youyou and Yun Xi were also wearing bright clothes, so why didn't they attract the attention of the people around them? It was as if they were just one of these people and would not attract any attention.
He frowned, saw a clothing stall nearby, picked up an ordinary cloak, threw down some money and put it on. Because he had no change, he threw away some small change, which shocked the stall owner: "Sir! I can't make a change for so much money!" The stall owner treated Ming Su with great respect.
"No need to look for it." Fu Mingsui pulled up the hood of his cloak, said in a low and deep voice, and quickly chased after Lian Youyou.
The stall owner excitedly picked up the change and quickly hid it to avoid being targeted by thieves, as this was a gathering place for thieves.
Yun Xi followed the smell to a tavern. This tavern was considered the best tavern here, located in a small alley, and it was quiet in a bustling area. Most of the drinkers inside were dressed like gangsters.
At the alleyside of the tavern, a man wearing a cloak that looked like linen was sitting at the table. On the table was a pot of wine, a pile of peanuts, a pile of braised beef, a pile of white chicken, and a pile of green vegetables.
There were two small wine glasses in front of him. He poured one glass for himself and another glass for the other, as if he was waiting for his friends to come.
However, his friend did not show up, but a fat, yellow mouse came out from his chest. The mouse was wearing a small piece of clothing and looked extremely cute.
People around also found it interesting because they had never seen this kind of mouse before.
The mouse walked to the wine glass and actually picked up the glass and started drinking.
A crow then flew down and landed next to the white chicken and started eating it.
The man looked more relaxed, and his smile was a bit cunning. He looked like a gangster, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a face full of green stubble, and his hair was loose and casual, giving him a bit of the unruly look of a playboy.
"Oh! This is a guinea pig." A clear female voice sounded. The man paused with the wine glass in his hand, and a hint of pride appeared on the corner of his bearded mouth: "Girl, you know what's good." When he raised his eyes, he was stunned. A chivalrous girl appeared in his eyes, and beside her, there was a man who was more beautiful than her.
Lian smiled at the man in front of her for a while, then sat down without any courtesy and called the waiter: "Waiter, add another pot of wine, beef sauce, duck, spicy chicken, vinegar lotus root, tofu, tomato and egg~~~"
"Okay~~~" The waiter was very happy because a rich man came tonight.
Yun Xi sat down immediately. Suddenly, a black shadow passed by him. Hei Yan was already sitting at the wine table, staring at the mouse and the bird opposite him.
The little guinea pig was so scared that it immediately ran back into its owner's arms, and the crow stood on the man's shoulder.
The man looked at Lian Youyou for a while, then looked at her black cat, and found that the black cat was also wearing a piece of clothing. It seemed that they were "like-minded people."
"I'm Hua Wuyang, known as the Thousand-Armed Buddha in the martial arts world. May I ask your name, young lady?" Hua Wuyang bowed to Lian Youyou. As people in the martial arts world, they are not fussy about trivial matters.
Lian Youyou raised her lips and smiled: "My nickname in Jianghu is the cup-stealing nemesis, Lian Youyou."
Immediately, the expression on Hua Wuyang's face froze.
Yun Xi smiled, sat next to Hua Wuyang, raised his hand to hook his shoulder, and steadied the wine glass in his hand: "Brother, don't shake your hands."
Hua Wuyang stared at Lian Youyou in a daze, and the smile on Lian Youyou's face was full of chivalry. (To be continued)
