Bishengju is the top restaurant in Chang'an. Many dignitaries, nobles and children of aristocratic families like to taste delicious food here.
The price is naturally high. An ordinary meal costs at least twenty taels of silver, which makes it prohibitive for ordinary people.
Jiang Fan was wealthy and naturally didn't care about money. After entering Bisheng Residence, he found a private room and asked the waiter to serve some signature dishes.
As for drinks, Jiang Fan didn't ask for them.
Sitting next to the window, you can see the bustle in the hall below.
Now is the warm season of spring, and the clothes of the Tang Dynasty people are relatively simple and plain. Most of the men wear tight sleeves, short linings and flat shoes, which looks particularly neat.
Occasionally, there are men with wide sleeves, and the cuffs are cut extremely short, so that their hands hang outside the sleeves so that they can easily pull out the sword in the sheath on their waist at any time.
People in the Tang Dynasty were very martial. However, all the children of high-ranking officials, even if they had never practiced martial arts, would carry swords on their bodies. Even civil servants above the court would beat people with their fists when they were anxious.
The women in Chang'an also dress very simply and plainly, and wear relatively cool clothes. Some women and girls in the hall have their arms bare outside the sleeves of their sarongs. Some charming young women boldly wear tube tops when entering and exiting the hall, attracting attention.
.
People were coming and going in the hall, not only people from the Tang Dynasty, but also barbarians with bare chests, Yuelun Kingdom officials wearing winged hats, businessmen from the Southern Jin Dynasty, swordsmen from the Western Chu, etc.
The private room on the second floor was relatively quiet. Jiang Fan ate the freshly baked Bisheng roast duck cake. He thought it tasted pretty good. The meat was tender and the dough was crispy and delicious.
Looking at the familiar platter of food, combined with the name of Bishengju, Jiang Fan suspected that there were other travelers in the night world before Ning Que and himself?
But this has nothing to do with Jiang Fan. Even if there are other time-travelers, as long as they don't hinder him, they can live well.
While Jiang Fan was dining, a sound of silk and bamboo came from the next room, with a melodious melody.
With a good environment, good taste and good atmosphere, it’s no wonder that Bishengju has become an internet celebrity restaurant in Chang’an.
But when there are more people, there are more right and wrong.
Just when Jiang Fan finished his meal and was about to pay the bill, there was a noise from below.
"Miss Yun'er is my guest. It's not too late for you to apologize now."
"Who am I to apologize? I just touched her accidentally. What can you do?"
"Hmph! If you are looking for death, accept my challenge and have a duel if you dare!"
In the crowd, two young men with swords on their waists were glaring at each other. One of them drew his sword, cut off his right sleeve, and threw it at the man opposite.
"I'm afraid you won't succeed."
Not to be outdone, the man opposite also drew his sword, cut off his right sleeve, and threw it to the ground.
This is the rule of duels in the Tang Dynasty. Cutting your sleeve represents a challenge. If you accept the challenge, you will cut off a piece of your sleeve.
This kind of duel is called a live game, as long as the winner can be determined.
If two people fight to the death, it is called a dead end and needs to be confirmed by the government.
The challenger in the dead end must cut his left palm with a knife. If the opponent accepts, he must do the same action.
Of course, you don’t have to accept challenges from others, but you will just be laughed at.
The two men knew that the water in Bishengju was very deep and did not dare to fight on the spot. They walked to the open space outside to duel in a tacit understanding.
He took away a group of guests who were watching the excitement.
Jiang Fan took a look and saw that it was just like novices pecking each other, and it was not interesting.
When leaving Bishengju, the waiter at the door gave Jiang Fan a small gift.
This familiar routine made Jiang Fan feel more and more that the boss of Bishengju was a time traveler.
In the afternoon, Jiang Fan came to Zhuque Street leading to the Northern Palace.
The road here is wide, beautiful and solemn. Jiang Fan looked at the red bird on the archway and suddenly felt a sense of joy.
In Jiang Fan's eyes, the painted red bird portrait in the middle of the avenue was staring at him calmly and with authority, as if it was about to fly up from among the stones and kill him.
"Silly bird."
Jiang Fan stood still, but his eyes were filled with sword intent.
The flow of people and noise around seemed to have disappeared at this moment, and only the Suzaku standing out from the stone carvings was left in the sky and the earth, looking at Jiang Fan standing in the distance with his sword behind his back.
"Chirp~"
The red bird crows, its eyes glow red, its fiery red wings flap, and it brings a strong wind and howls away.
A large dark cloud rolled in the sky, and thunder roared, as if countless thunders were about to fall.
Jiang Fan stood on the bluestone-paved street, looking at the Suzaku flying down. He raised his hand and held it empty, and a golden giant sword appeared out of thin air.
He stretched out his hand and made a move, and the giant sword about five feet long fell into his hand. The sword's brilliance flowed as if it was flowing, possessing the power of killing gods!
He didn't know why Suzaku woke up and why he attacked him, but since the other party took action, he would not sit still and wait for death.
"Kenpachi!"
Jiang Fan shouted in a low voice, swung his giant sword, and the golden light on the sword's edge shone brightly, like a bolt of lightning across the sky.
I saw a flash of golden light, and a huge sword energy shot out of the air and directly bombarded Suzaku.
"Chirp~"
Suzaku screamed sadly, fire feathers fell all over the sky, and then the void shattered like glass.
In a blink of an eye, Jiang Fan was still standing in the middle of the road, with noisy sounds reaching his ears, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
But if you look carefully, you will find that there is an extra sword mark on the body of the Suzaku statue.
at the same time.
Yan Se, who was drinking wine at Hongxiu, suddenly sat up from the beauty's arms.
"broken!"
With an exclamation, Yan Se ran out of his red sleeves and got into his carriage.
"Suzaku Street, hurry!"
Yan Se's tone was quite urgent, and people who didn't know better thought he was planning to run away for free.
Uh, okay, Yan Se did not pay.
However, the boss of Hong Xiuzhao is not panic at all, because Yan Se is the master of the South Gate of Haotian Dao, the senior brother of Li Qingshan, the great master of the Tang Dynasty, and the best talisman master in the world.
With such status, the boss of Hongxiu Zhao is not afraid of Yan Se, a bad old man, who defaults on his debts.
On the carriage, Yan Se frowned and cursed: "What a troublesome guy!"
The reason why the Tang Dynasty was able to stand for thousands of years and become the most powerful country in the world was not only the support of the Academy, but also a large part of the reason why it was because of the blessing of the Shocking God Formation.
The Jingshen Formation was set up by Confucius at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the Suzaku is an ancient divine beast that sits in the capital and can enhance the function of the Jingshen Formation. Therefore, the Suzaku is also used as the eye of the formation and is placed on Suzaku Street.
Yan Se has already sensed that the person who injured Suzaku just now was the person who broke into the Sixth Realm on Beishan Road not long ago.
Now I am so angry that I want to scold my mother.
Yan Se is a bohemian and unruly person. He enters Taoism with pure yang and regards beauty as withered bones. However, he likes to visit brothels and play in the world of mortals. His cultivation is unpredictable.
It seems very out of place, but Yan Se has a strong sense of responsibility. His duty is to preside over the Jingshen Formation and protect Chang'an City. Unexpectedly, he was drinking wine and suddenly felt that Suzaku had been hacked. It's strange that he was not in a hurry. .
