When the willows are on the moon, people make an appointment after dusk.
After dusk every day is the busiest time of the day for Ruixiang Inn.
Jinliang City is a big city, the central county of Jizhou, with water and land transportation, extending in all directions.
Ruixiang Inn is a century-old shop, the food and drinks are average, and the rooms are fairly clean. It doesn't look like a century-old shop at all, but it has existed for a hundred years, and its business has always been booming.
The reason is nothing else, that is, a kind of good wine called "Purple Songluo" is the most famous.
Throughout Jinliang City, the wines of other houses are not bad, they are always either too strong or light, not as good as the wines of Ruixiang old shop, plump but not greasy, light but long-lasting, no matter how drunk you are, it is just like spring When people are sleepy and lazy, there is only sweetness, but no irritability, and all three are available.
Today, the business here is even better.
The reason is not only the wine here, but also the proprietress here.
In the dining room downstairs, every table has customers, and the waiter is sweating profusely, and even his voice is a little hoarse.
There are 8864 guest rooms upstairs, and all of them are full.
Most of the guests are heroes of the world with swords and swords. No one understands how this place, which is usually deserted, suddenly becomes lively.
The proprietress was sitting behind the counter, making calculations and calculating accounts with a sad face.
She is indeed a very beautiful woman, with curved eyebrows, big eyes, and exquisite and plump lips, she looks like a ripe peach, no matter who sees it, she can't help but want to take a bite.
But the most touching thing about her is not her face, nor her figure, but her mature charm.
As long as he is a man, he will be interested in a woman like her.
It stands to reason that this kind of woman should never sit in front of this group of vicious gangsters in front of her. This is like a little sheep in the mouth of a tiger, which may be swallowed up at any time.
But the proprietress just sat there like this, and none of the gangsters who were just a bunch of rascals who usually yelled and drank, no one came forward to strike up a conversation, and no one dared to glance over here. The situation was very strange.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of hooves, and two fast horses rushed in from outside the gate.
The healthy horse neighed in alarm, and the hall was full of noises, but the two big men in green clothes on the horse were still sitting motionless on the saddle.
A pair of shining silver swords hung beside the carved saddle of a horse. The man on the horse had a bronze face and a beard, and his eyes were as sharp as his blades.
He flicked his eyes around, stared at the face of the waiter, and said in a deep voice, "Is the boss there?"
The shop waiter looked back at the proprietress, seeing that the proprietress didn't even look up at all, so he just said, "The boss is in the backyard, still in the Tianzihao room."
The big bearded man asked again: "Where is Miss Qin?"
snort!
This time the proprietress suddenly let out an angry snort inadvertently, as if she had offended her by some unclear account, but it made everyone present shrink their necks...
The shop clerk scratched the back of his head with a wry smile, looked behind him in fear, and said softly, "I'm with the boss, and I'm also in the Tianzihao room."
The proprietress is busy in the front, and the boss and other girls are behind...
The guy felt guilty for saying this, especially in front of the proprietress!
The big bearded man stuck out his tongue secretly, stopped talking, slammed off his horse, and ran across the room like a bolt of lightning, towards the backyard.
The other group of people on horseback didn't move too slowly. This person had half of his left ear missing, and a scar on his face stretched from the corner of his left ear to the corner of his right mouth, making his livid face look even more terrifying.
As soon as the big bearded man in front rushed out, his man got up from the saddle, followed by somersaults in the air, suddenly paused in mid-air, fell to the ground as if thinking of something, and rushed to the counter of the proprietress In front of her, she took out a pack of women's rouge powder from her arms, put it on the table, turned around and ran away.
The proprietress was intoxicated by the aroma, opened it in surprise, and smelled it, a look of surprise flashed across her face, and she muttered: "You bastard has a conscience..."
Suddenly, she felt the eyes of her surroundings staring at her. The proprietress suddenly raised her head, slapped the table, and roared angrily, "It's all about your mother, I've never seen my mother rub gouache before!"
The high-ranking guests in the whole dining room jumped up in fright almost immediately, and hurriedly turned around, not daring to take another look, the whole dining room fell into a weird silence.
Boom!
There was another loud noise, and the lady boss's angry howl broke out again: "Let's be fucking lively, the elders are drinking, and they are all suffocating like women. It's why you bastards can't find a wife. The old lady is still here today!" It's a few thousand taels short of the money, so fucking drink it up for me!"
All the heroes of the rivers and lakes in the hall showed sorrowful faces, and immediately shouted and shouted...
A century-old store, standing for a century...
Sure enough, there is some truth to it.
…
Backyard, Tianzihao room.
The owner of this hundred-year-old shop also had a sad look on his face.
A middle-aged man in the middle of his life, white and fat. As far as his belly is concerned, he really looks like a boss. This boss, who should have reached the age of mid-life crisis, is now wiping sweat anxiously.
Because in front of him, within a short distance, there is a big girl who looks like a fairy.
If the proprietress of the boss is a peach, then the beautiful woman in front of you is a lily in full bloom, fresh and refined, looking holy and unusual, an object that can only be seen from a distance, not to be played with.
Facing such a voluptuous person, even a man would feel like playing profanity, especially the beautiful woman at this time, with big watery eyes, staring at the boss, with an expression that if you just say it, I will give it to you.
But the boss's face was sweating faster, and even his back began to sweat.
whispering sound-
With a sneer, the girl who should be surnamed Qin rolled her eyes, she was unspeakably beautiful, and teased: "What's the matter? I can't imagine that Xu Xiyu, the famous landlord of Tsingyi Building, 'Qingdi', is so afraid of his wife, so afraid that even Are you afraid to accept the invitation from Fengyi Pavilion?"
If this word spreads to Jianghu, it will definitely cause an uproar.
It turned out that this useless fat boss was actually Xu Zhengyi, the proprietor of "Tsing Yi Building" who ranked sixth in "Top Ten Sects in the World", and "Emperor Qing" who ranked eighth in "Thirty-Six Heavens".
And here and now, is this century-old shop the most mysterious "First Floor of Tsing Yi" among the legendary 360th floor of Tsing Yi
Xu Zhengyi laughed like a businessman, and at the same time he did not forget to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said: "Miss Suqing was joking, I am too busy with business in Tsingyilou, and I am sorry for your care. Even if the heart is moved, it is really powerless..."
Qin Suqing sighed plaintively, rubbed her forehead with bare hands, and said distressedly: "The words of Master Xu really hurt people's heart. You must know that as long as Master Xu nods, not only my Fengyi Pavilion will immediately become a Tsing Yi Pavilion." Lou's allies, my charming younger sisters from the outer sect can also marry into the building at any time and become concubines for the landlord. The owner is very respectful... "
Xu Zhengyi shook his hands hastily, and at the same time shook his head desperately and said, "Thank you for your love, girls. Thank you for your kindness. Xu's own family knows their own affairs, and it is really a blessing. There is a Shan wife in the family. I am full of this woman." If I don’t come to serve you, any more will really kill me... This, huh..."
Qin Suqing was furious inwardly, wishing to call him "a worthless"!
Ever since the master sister Hang Suya was ineffective in handling affairs and was demoted to the outer sect by the pavilion master for self-reflection, the affairs of the cabinet were handed over to the disciples of the three inner pavilions at the same time, and the three female disciples also tried their best to perform in front of the pavilion master, because Everyone knows that several disciples can be responsible to the pavilion master at the same time, and it also shows that the pavilion master may choose an outstanding disciple among these disciples as the next pavilion master to train, so it cannot be tolerated. Everyone doesn't work hard.
In the business of soliciting allies everywhere, a behemoth like the "Tsing Yi Building" is undoubtedly the target of all the disciples, but this Xu Zhengyi is really naughty, throwing his wife as a shield, and he made several shots. To no avail. But if he can win the "Tsing Yi Building" to stand on the side of Fengyi Pavilion, he will undoubtedly increase his weight in the pavilion by a large amount, leaving other seniors and sisters far behind.
Qin Suqing cursed in her heart, but her face was full of grace and luxury. Just as she was about to persuade her again, suddenly there was a sound of clothes ripping through the air outside the door. Xu Zhengyi's expression straightened, and he immediately yelled out as if grabbing a life-saving straw He asked, "Who?"
"My subordinate Zhu Xiong..."
"Cui Changling..."
"See the landlord!"
Xu Zhengyi roared: "Asshole, don't you know I have something important to do right now?"
Zhu Xiong's rough voice came from outside and said: "This subordinate really has an extremely urgent matter to report to the landlord..."
Xu Zhengyi quickly showed an apologetic expression at Qin Suqing, Qin Suqing gritted his teeth with hatred, and said to himself, you fat pig, just pretend to be here, but on the surface, he nodded helplessly.
"Come in!"
The door creaked and was pushed open. Zhu Xiong, a big bearded man, and Cui Changling, who had a scar on his face, walked into the room. They first saluted Xu Zhengyi, then glanced at Qin Suqing, and they were all taken aback for a moment. Obviously, he was overwhelmed by the beauty of this beautiful woman who delivered to her door.
cough cough!
Xu Zhengyi coughed twice quickly, reminding his subordinates to pay attention to their manners.
Tsing Yi Lou was originally a gangster faction, even if it has been a white way for hundreds of years, the masters recruited under it have never been particular about their qualifications, and many of them are also good bandits and bandits, but this politeness is not flattering.
Zhu Xiong looked at Qin Suqing, hesitated for a moment, but Xu Zhengyi was sitting majestically, and said indifferently: "Miss Qin is the envoy of Fengyi Pavilion, and the representative of our leader of the Baidao. It doesn't matter if you say it..." Then his expression changed With a sudden change, he took the lead in staring at Cui Changling, who was beside him, and asked, "Have the things been delivered?"
Cui Changling hurriedly bowed and said: "This subordinate obeys the landlord's order, and has just handed over to..."
"Okay, okay..." Xu Zhengyi immediately interrupted Cui Changling's words, and at the same time his face was bright, as if he had come back to life, but Qin Suqing was greatly surprised.
How did she know that in order to appease his wife, the landlord in Tsing Yi deliberately sent a letter to his subordinates to spend a huge sum of money to buy the rouge gouache recently sold by Lanyuexuan. There is no way to serve him.
Then nodded, motioning for Zhu Xiong to continue.
Zhu Xiong respectfully said: "I would like to report to the host, the goods we ordered from Shiwanda Mountain were robbed when they were in Jingzhou..."
Xu Zhengyi frowned, "Which batch?"
This batch of goods is extremely important, most of them are pill materials for the masters in the congenital stage to take to improve their skills, worth tens of millions of taels of silver, if you want the congenital masters to work hard, silver is not the most important thing, these can improve your cultivation The elixir that boosts strength and life is the most important resource, and one of the most important items is the "Sky Crystal Bead" that activates meridians and melts souls for Guixu masters. For the insurance period, they were divided into several batches and went on the road, each with expert guards, so if something happened, it would be at most one or two batches of goods that had problems, and other goods would still be able to arrive in Jizhou.
But Zhu Xiong's expression made Xu Zhengyi's heart sink, and he only heard Zhu Xiong say: "There are seven shipments in total, all of which were robbed!"
"All!?" Xu Zhengyi pointed.
"All!" Of course Zhu Xiong understood what the landlord was asking.
Even if Qin Suqing was present, Xu Zhengyi couldn't keep calm, "How is this possible?"
It was difficult for Xu Zhengyi to keep calm. The enemy was so clear about his own arrangements, maybe there was an internal traitor inside, but this kind of thing would not be said in front of outsiders.
Xu Zhengyi originally wanted to find an excuse to get rid of Qin Suqing, but unexpectedly he encountered a big problem at this time, so he quickly got up and said to Qin Suqing apologetically, "Excuse me, Fairy Qin, this matter is of great importance, and we still have to deal with it." Please allow me to discuss with my subordinates. Fairy Qin will come later, Xu will come whenever he goes."
This kind of thing, after going, basically will not come back.
Qin Suqing secretly scolded the unlucky fat man, Yingying got up and said: "Master Xu doesn't need to be like this, the most important thing is to help, the little girl will come to visit again sometime, and leave!"
"I'll send Fairy Qin!"
"No need!"
After Qin Suqing left with annoyance on his head, Xu Zhengyi's face straightened suddenly, his eyes flashed brightly, he was extremely majestic, and there was still the posture of a wretched and fat boss, and the overlord's aura suddenly emerged.
Zhu Xiong said slowly: "The landlord, according to the account of the surviving brother Yi Dongxing, the people who attacked me at the same time and in different places attacked several teams at the same time. Individuals survived, even if they were alive, they were seriously injured and tried their best to escape."
"'Thousands of Miles Without Trace' Yi Dongxing, that brother is a master of lightness kung fu. Do you see who did it!?" Xu Zhengyi asked harshly.
"It is said that the identities of the perpetrators are extremely mysterious, but all of them are congenital masters. Yi Dongxing is originally from Liaobei, and it can be seen that one of them is the legendary [Black Mountain Tiger Absolute Hand], and the perpetrators are not young. Light, I'm afraid it's a giant thief of the older generation!"
Xu Zhengyi gasped.
In his heart, it's not that he thinks how powerful this unique skill is, but that this insidious kung fu has long been lost with the destruction of the "Black Mountain Cave", and the person who is most likely to use this kung fu in the world is only I'm afraid it is the Patriarch of Heishan who was the head of the "Heishan Cave" who was imprisoned in the "Suppressing Demon Tower".
This group of people rescued all the felons because of Suzaku's escape from the Demon Suppressing Tower. Among them was the ancestor of Heishan. Could it be said that this action was the envoy of the Demon Sect
Xu Zhengyi frowned, and fell into a deep thought that he had never experienced before. After a while, he asked leisurely, "What do you think!?"
Zhu Xiong and Cui Changling were taken aback for a moment, not knowing which of them the landlord was asking at this time, and they didn't know how to answer for a while, and were about to ask, but saw the curtain of the back room lifted, and the proprietress walked out of the room straight away, watching the two I was dumbfounded for a while.
The proprietress leaned back on the chair boldly, and said as if there was no one else present: "If the Demon Gate takes action, there must be a hiding place for them in Jingzhou. If you find there, you can find the goods. What can we do? Steal our things and kill our people." Well, if I don't pluck all the feathers of the Suzaku, my aunt's surname will not be Lu."
The proprietress was so fierce, but the boss Xu Zhengyi had a bitter expression on his face, and said, "The Demon Sect is not so easy to get along with, so don't go."
The proprietress glared angrily.
Xu Zhengyi said with a sneer: "You know, this Fengyi Pavilion is entangled with me, I can't do it without you!"
The landlady's face improved a bit, but she immediately fell into helplessness and said, "Then who do you want to send?" Then she gestured to Zhu Xiong and Cui Changling in front of her, "These two cowards can't even see the appearance of Suzaku. When they arrive, they will be grilled into steaks!"
Zhu Xiong and Cui Changling immediately looked bitter.
Xu Zhengyi chuckled and said, "Of course I can't trust outsiders, but capable family members are the most reliable. See if my wife wrote a letter to our eldest cousin and asked him to come forward to help solve it. You I know, the eldest cousin is not at all with the Demon Sect, and he is close to us, once we tell him about it, he will..."
"Oh? The surname is Xu, what do you mean?" The proprietress raised her eyes and said in a cold tone: "That's my cousin, the eldest cousin of my aunt's family. If you want to ask him, you have to correct the eight classics Please, don’t ask me to write a letter, and don’t say anything to make him help automatically, what? You still hold grudges? Do you remember when he pointed at your nose and scolded you as a snob? Xu Zhengyi, you fucking A snob. I don't do this..."
As soon as the proprietress loses her temper, the boss immediately coaxes...
"Don't, don't, daughter-in-law! Didn't I follow our big cousin's wishes and stop our secret shady business? Our big cousin is too upright, and I'm afraid that one day he will carry a long sword He wants to have a life-and-death fight with me at the door... And you, the big cousin said that our Yu'er followed me for fear of learning badly, so I agreed to let him take him away, and taught him personally... Baby, we are not angry, we are not angry!"
Xu Zhengyi was coaxing his daughter-in-law here, while the two next to him pursed their lips tightly, for fear of laughing out loud.
After three coaxings and two coaxings, the proprietress calmed down, and reached out to take out a piece of paper from the drawer. Xu Zhengyi hurriedly prepared his pen and ink, and the proprietress wrote a line. The name in the first few words was "Shen" Jiang Ping".
"Qingjiang Xiayin" Shen Jiangping.
"Thirty-six Heavens" ranked twenty-third.
Xu Zhengyi looked at the words written by the proprietress, frowned, and said dumbfoundedly: "My wife, the letter that promised to invite him out of the mountain, how did it become a greeting card?"
The proprietress stood up, straightened her waist and said, "It's better for us to visit the door in person, and I miss my son too..." The proprietress folded the letter, handed it to Cui Changling, and ordered: "Fly the pigeon immediately." Pass the book over!"
Seeing the subordinates walk out of the room, the proprietress smiled, looked at the sky outside the door, and said: "Besides, the devil's door made trouble, and dared to find our 'Tsing Yi Building', I might go back to Guxia Mountain, ask my master to uphold justice for me, and then ask my senior sister to go down the mountain and go up again!"
Xu Zhengyi's small eyes flashed brightly, and he said inwardly: Good guy, you have offended my wife, and if you can invite these experts to come forward, it will be an advantage this time.
Guxia Mountain, one of the six mountains of Shushan Sword League.
The head is the proprietress' elder sister "Wan Miao Shou" Ding Jingyin, and her master is the grandma who weaves the "Celestial Silkworm Brocade" with the supreme stitch method.
Thinking of being able to rely on the help of so many experts, Xu Zhengyi smiled and licked his face and asked: "So, my wife still has to go out in person, I will miss you..."
The proprietress smiled, grabbed Xu Zhengyi's ear, and roared angrily: "What's the matter, are you waiting for me to leave? I know that you and the little bitch from Fengyi Pavilion are flirting with me, and you want to take advantage of it." Am I not stealing? Tell you, there is no way, not only I am going, but you also have to go with me!"
"Let go, don't! Ears fall, fall..."
The screams of the boss in the backyard could not be concealed and spread to the dining room in front. The heroes of the Jianghu were all shocked, and the speed of drinking quickly increased by three points.
