The old man and the young man finally left the bitingly cold snowy mountain. They didn't look back, but just waved their hands back.
"Old Huang, where are we going?"
"Let's go to the capital."
"Old Huang, do you really want to go to the capital? Didn't you think it was too dangerous before? The two monks left, so why don't you go by yourself?"
Lao Huang looked at the walking stick in his hand, as if looking at his own child, his eyes full of kindness and memories.
"Something has been left there for decades. It's time to get it back. You can't keep being laughed at by others, right?"
Feng Yu was very curious. What could make Lao Huang show such an expression must be something extraordinary. It was probably more powerful than his own life. He didn't try to dissuade him. Why should he try to dissuade him? If he wants to go, then just go. Isn't that right?
As for the Imperial City of Xixia, if there's anything you can't go to, just accompany Lao Huang on this trip.
"Since it's your thing left there, then go get it back. It's no big deal. Let's go together. But, Lao Huang, can you tell me what it is? Is it possible that you are so concerned about it?"
How's your old age?"
"Go, go, go, you're not serious," Old Huang was so angry that he puffed his beard and glared. The way these two guys get along has long been used to this place, "I've been looking for swords all my life. I haven't married a wife yet. I'm just Qian'er's."
The sword was left there. As a master, I failed to avenge him, so I shouldn't have lost the only relic."
"You have to take it. After all, I have been following you, Lao Huang, for more than a month. The Thousand Destruction Sword Master is considered my senior, so I will accompany you."
"That's the Imperial City of Xixia, are you really not afraid of death?"
"Why learn swordsmanship if you're afraid of death!"
"Hahaha, okay, let's go and have a look together. I know that I haven't seen you in the capital for decades. Isn't this the same frustrated kid that I used to be?"
"Um, Lao Huang, where is the sword? It can't be in the palace."
He walked to the capital in a leisurely manner. On the way, he heard about Kong Wen and Hui Song. It seemed that they were being chased, but they were far away and nothing serious happened. They could run away.
Under the high tower, Feng Yu stood on the official road, changed into white clothes, and held a folding fan in his hand. He didn't know where he got the outfit. He looked much more noble than Baoyue.
Lao Huang also changed his clothes, but he was still quite slovenly. There seemed to be no difference between silk and coarse cloth on him.
"Who wrote the words "Shangjingcheng"? The writing is good, but the plaque is a bit small."
Lao Huang quickly stared around, looking at Feng Yu's indifferent and arrogant expression, he really wanted to smack his face with a walking stick.
"I said, Feng boy, can you look at the occasion? You stand at someone's door and dare to say bad things about others. Do you really want people to invite you in?"
"Old Huang, what are you afraid of? I don't believe it. We are standing so far away and they can still hear us. What's the matter with a few complaints? I've already given you a lot of face without even yelling. I think back then, that Xixia prince was...
I am not as good as the scum you have degraded."
"Well, I'm too lazy to listen to you."
"I didn't learn this from you."
Just as he was talking, a group of officers and soldiers came over with two portraits in their hands, looking for them.
Before he finished speaking, Lao Huang looked at the group of people from a distance and said with a blink of an eye, "How about I run away first?"
"Old Huang, how dare you leave! I don't believe they are really looking for us."
The two of them were about to sneak past without knowing anything, but they were stopped by someone. They secretly started to get lucky and waited to break in.
"Hey, you two stop!"
Feng Yu looked at him with a smile, "Master, what can I do?"
"Have you seen the person in the portrait?"
I thought it was me who was arresting me, but I didn't expect that the painting was not me, but a portrait of a young woman.
Feng Yu shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before. We have just arrived and haven't entered the city yet. May I ask what the woman in the portrait does and has she offended anyone? She looks pretty good.
Quite heroic."
"Why are you asking so many people? If you haven't seen him, just leave. Remember, if you see him, report him to the official immediately. Did you hear him?"
"Okay, okay, I know, little one, so be sure to pay attention."
No one stopped at the gate of the city. It seemed that most of the people were sent out to patrol and arrest people, so they went in without hesitation.
"Which girl is this? She did such a beautiful job and saved us a lot of trouble. I have prepared a lot of excuses in advance, so I dare not waste it."
"Don't tell me, you can bend and stretch. Just like that, you are a perfect little market."
"What can I do? You can't be taken away before you even come in. This is not the Tang Dynasty. The imperial city must be filled with experts. Senior, if one person can defeat a city, then I have nothing to say."
"I'm too lazy to listen to your outrage. Let's go to the city and find a place to stay. I want to drink and eat meat."
"Okay, let's go."
Looking aimlessly along the way, I saw that the Imperial City of Xixia still had some regional characteristics, and the architecture of the houses was also different from that of the Tang Dynasty. There were no angular eaves and square feng shui, and it looked much more rounded.
"Why doesn't this place even have a signboard? Which inn is it? Lao Huang, you have been here before, why don't you recognize it?"
"Nonsense, I can still remember it. Why are you looking for it? This place has changed a lot in decades. I have only been here once. I know a ball!"
The two of them walked around, and Feng Yu asked someone before finding an inn not far away.
The inn is not big, but there are a lot of people coming and going, mostly for lunch.
"This restaurant looks like the food is delicious, so many people are willing to come."
"That's it. I just want to have a meal first. Let's try half a pound of braised beef."
Feng Yu and Lao Huang sat down and called the waiter to order some signature dishes and braised beef. They also served a small pot of wine first.
"Lao Huang, try it. I haven't tried the apricot flower wine here. I heard it's quite famous."
"It's true. It's brewed with unique apricot blossoms. The craftsmanship is unique. It's not available anywhere else except here."
A woman with a soft voice came over. As she said this, she saw that the seats around her were full of guests and there were no empty seats.
"We, the grandson and grandpa, are here. Unexpectedly, there are no seats left. Seeing that there is no one else waiting for you two, I wonder if we can share a table?"
Feng Yu and Lao Huang looked up and saw that this woman's clothes were not gorgeous, but they were not something that ordinary poor people could afford. She was tall and tall, her eyes were clear, and a bit of vermilion made her look more capable than coquettish.
The slender waist with lining is extraordinarily slender. There is an old man standing behind him, but he is getting stronger with age, and the scabbard on his hand has some old marks.
Not to mention this girl, this old man alone is definitely a master.
However, Feng Yu and the other two were not curious. It was quite normal for a warrior to appear in the imperial city. Moreover, no matter how high the martial arts was, could it be better than that of Lao Huang? Having seen Lao Huang's sword on the snow mountain, Feng Yu knew it.
, his swordsmanship is definitely above his master, and others are irrelevant.
"Isn't it great to have friends from far away? Since the girl asked sincerely, what's not acceptable? Since we don't have many friends, we treat this table as ours. Waiter, please bring a few more plates of signature dishes.
Dishes! Also, a pot of apricot wine!"
The woman was not restrained, she thanked her and the two of them sat down.
"Brother is so cheerful. He looks like an outsider at first glance."
"Hey, girl, you have good eyesight, you can see it all. We are from Luoye City. We just settled down and found a place to live. Seeing that there are a lot of people here, we came here to try something new."
"Then you're welcome. The food in this restaurant is famous far and wide. Although the price is a bit expensive, it's worth it. And this apricot blossom wine can't be drunk anywhere else."
On the surface, Feng Yu didn't seem to have any other intentions or thoughts at all. He spoke as if he was just making friends, and he was very familiar with him.
"The two girls are locals? You are so familiar with this place."
The woman smiled and said, "That's right. I have lived here for a long time, but my hometown is not here."
"They moved here after their family got rich. We have seen many such people there, but most of them are nouveau riche. I have never met anyone as reasonable and easy to talk to as the girl. They all look like kings.
I am the biggest fan."
The woman covered her mouth happily, but she said a little gracefully, "Brother is really good at talking. Our family is not rich, we are just a little rich. By the way, what the brother said, is it possible that our family is also a wealthy family?
"
Feng Yu didn't hesitate, as if I'll answer whatever you ask, his eyes almost touching the girl's face.
"That's not really it. I'm just doing some business at home. This is an old housekeeper of our family and the caregiver. Follow me out to see the world."
If Lao Huang hadn't seen his little moves under the table, he would have wanted to pour a glass of wine on his face.
"I dare to ask you where I am from. The words are so interesting. I really want to go there to see the customs and customs when I have time."
"No, there's nothing good to see. Jiangdu is basically engaged in business, everyone is the same. No, you said this apricot flower wine is good, but I want to discuss it with the boss, buy a few barrels of it, take it back, and resell it
Maybe you can make a fortune if you go."
Jiangdu, as soon as these two words came out, the three people at the table were stunned.
Lao Huang never thought that he would directly tell him that he was from Tang Dynasty, but this guy is evil-minded, and he probably has some hidden agenda. If others want to lie to him, hehe, there is probably no hope in this life.
.
The old man and the young man over there didn't expect that they were from Jiangdu. They knew about the first commercial capital of the Tang Dynasty, but it was the first time they had seen him speak so frankly in the Xixia Imperial City.
"It turns out that I come from a Shangdu family. Is it no wonder that you are dressed in extraordinary clothes and come to Xia Kingdom to do business?"
"That's not me. I'm here to find someone. I heard that I used to have relatives from my hometown in Xixia. The prospects are not good recently. I came to see them and ask if they would like to go back with me. You also know that merchant families always have some
The unpleasant part is that people from the previous generation have to come out to gain a position. As a junior, I can't let others do not do well without even taking a look."
The woman looked at Feng Yu with admiration at these words, "I didn't expect that my little brother is still so affectionate and righteous. It's really rare."
