Volume 7: Ma Mingfeng is Xiaoxiao, the Boy Raises His Sword Chapter 291: Entering Bohai City for the First Time
Su Ling and Xiao Canshu followed the elegant man past the people lining up to enter the city and walked directly to the city gate.
But when he saw this man cupping his hands towards a man with a mustache who looked like a leader among the city gate guards, the man with a mustache also had a polite look on his face when he saw it was him. The two of them chatted for a while, and then this elegant man took Su Ling and Xiao Cang Shu walked towards the city.
The gate guards seemed to turn a blind eye to this.
Su Ling secretly thought to himself that it seemed that Bohai City was far from being as simple as he thought. He originally thought that Bohai City was Shen Jizhou's home base, and that no matter who he was in the entire Bohai City, the Shen family would obey him.
But today in front of the city gate, Su Ling really understood the lesson.
If we talk about the family, the strength of the Shen family, headed by the brothers Shen Zhengnan and Shen Zhengfang, cannot be underestimated. Even if they were to ride horses on the street, they would not dare to do this even if they were not from a wealthy family.
If we talk about the people, this Lanhai Pavilion, which Su Ling has never heard of, seems not to be ignored. This elegant man led himself and Xiao Cangshu directly into the city. There was no need to queue up, it was the official name of these city guards. People have no intention of stopping it at all.
It seems that the power of this so-called Lanhai Pavilion cannot be underestimated.
The elegant man was in front, and Su Ling and Xiao Cangshu were behind. The three of them walked in a meandering way for a while, and when they were a little far away from the city gate, the elegant man stopped, turned around, and faced Su Ling and Xiao Cangshu. Xiao Cangshu cupped his hands with a smile.
Su Ling and Xiao Cangshu quickly returned the gift.
The elegant man then said: "Young Master Su, Young Master Man, now that you have entered Bohai City, I have completed your mission, so I will take my leave now. Please excuse me..."
Su Ling and Xiao Cangshu were startled at first, then Su Ling said: "Brother, didn't you just say that you invited us into the city on the order of the master of Lanhai Pavilion in Bohai City..."
The elegant man smiled lightly and said: "Yes, I did this according to the order of the Pavilion Master. Haven't the two young masters already entered the city... Then my mission is completed... .”
Xiao Cangshu interrupted and said, "Then what will happen after we enter the city? Didn't your Lanhai Pavilion master ask you to take us to see him?"
The elegant man was slightly happy when he heard this, and his tone seemed to be a little more arrogant than before: "The Pavilion Master only ordered me to bring you two into Bohai City, but he never ordered me to bring you in and then Anyway, once you enter this city gate, you two can go wherever you want... As for my pavilion master, not everyone can see it..."
"You..." Xiao Cangshu heard that his words were a bit unkind, and couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
Su Ling hurriedly took a step forward, cupped his hands towards this elegant man and said, "Brother, you have already taken care of us to take us into the city. We don't dare to bother with other things... It's just that we are here for the first time." There are some things in Bohai City that I need to ask my brother for advice."
The elegant man nodded and said: "Since you are invited to the city by our Lanhai Pavilion Pavilion Master, if you have any questions, just ask... But I only answer questions. If you entrust me to do something, then there is no need." Open your mouth."
Xiao Cangshu was even more furious. No matter what, he was also the fourth son of the prime minister. How could anyone be so domineering in front of him?
If Su Ling hadn't winked at him repeatedly, he might have become angry by now.
Su Ling usually acted tactfully, but when he saw that this elegant man was modest on the outside, he was still arrogant on the inside. This kind of person must not be tough, otherwise he would be offended right before his eyes.
Su Ling hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Don't worry, brother, I just have a few questions that I don't understand, so I just wanted to ask them."
The elegant man nodded and said, "In that case, what you asked...whether I answer or not, it has nothing to do with you."
Su Ling was not annoyed and smiled lightly: "Brother, do you know me and my brother?"
"This is the first time I see you, so naturally I don't know who you are... One of you is named Su and the other is Man. My pavilion master told me..." This elegant man has this question
But he answered quite openly.
Su Ling nodded and said: "The master of your Lanhai Pavilion has a distinguished name. I wonder if this brother can reward me..."
But this elegant man shook his head and said: "My pavilion master said that Mr. Su will naturally know who he is when we meet. Why should Mr. Su be in a hurry..."
Su Ling saw that this man definitely refused to say the name of the pavilion master, so he didn't force it and nodded slightly.
He thought about it for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Brother, do you know if there is a mountain called Tangling not too far away from Bohai City..."
The elegant man said calmly: "Tangling is not far from here. Not only me, but also the people of Bohai City know about it."
Su Ling said calmly: "I wonder if my brother has ever heard of it. There was an old official post in Tangling, called Tangling Post. It is now abandoned..."
As he said that, Su Ling looked at this man calmly.
But seeing that the man's expression did not change, he frowned slightly and said: "Tangling is deep in the mountains and wild mountains, it is foggy and inaccessible, how can there be an official post... Anyway, I have never heard of it, but you said
This official post is abandoned, maybe it’s a long time ago, so I haven’t heard of it, and it doesn’t mean that this place really doesn’t exist…”
Xiao Cangshu heard this and hurriedly interjected: "What about Tangling Inn? Have you heard of it..."
The man glanced at Xiao Cangshu impatiently and said, "I've already said that there aren't many people there, so who would open an inn there? Isn't Mr. Man just looking for fun with me?"
Xiao Cangshu and Su Ling quickly looked at each other.
Su Ling asked calmly, "Brother, have you heard about the hauntings in Tangling Mountain?"
Su Ling originally thought that this man had neither heard of Tangling Station nor Tangling Inn. He probably knew nothing about Tangling, and he must not have known anything about the hauntings in Tangling Mountain.
When the man heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he smiled faintly and said, "I don't know about this either. The theory of ghosts is simply nonsense... If Mr. Su believes it, then there are real ghosts.
If you don’t believe it, then there is a ghost.”
Su Ling nodded, it seemed that nothing could be asked from him.
Su Ling still refused to give up. Just when he was about to ask again, he saw the man frown and said: "Master Su, I have already answered these questions of yours. If you ask more, please forgive me for having no comment...
.”
Su Ling nodded hurriedly, but she was thinking to herself, even though I asked these many questions, you don't know them all, and asking them is almost in vain.
It's just that he really doesn't know, or is he pretending not to know.
When the man saw that Su Ling stopped asking questions, he cupped his hands towards him and Xiao Cangshu and said, "It's getting late... I won't accompany you any longer, so I'll say goodbye!"
Saying that, he turned around and left.
Xiao Cangshu whispered: "Brother Su... just let him go without any reason..."
Su Ling spread his hands and said: "This is Bohai City. You saw it just now. They don't even dare to mess with people from Lanhai Pavilion. What can we do? We can't tie him up...
.”
Hearing this, Xiao Cangshu could only nod helplessly.
Unexpectedly, the man walked a few steps, suddenly turned around, came to the two men, raised his hands towards them again and said: "I just remembered that my pavilion master has something that he wants me to convey to the two young masters.
.....I almost forgot as soon as I got interrupted..."
Hearing this, Su Ling hurriedly said seriously: "I wonder if your pavilion master has any advice."
The man said loudly: "My pavilion master said that there are many people in Bohai City, but you two have to distinguish clearly among the people you meet, who is the real person and who is the ghost pretending to be human...
..."
Hearing this, Su Ling took a slight breath of air, her eyes sharpened, and just as she was about to speak, she saw the man cup his hand, turn around, and disappear into the crowd.
Xiao Cangshu also frowned and asked, "Brother Su, what does his last sentence mean? Is he reminding us of something?"
Su Ling shook his head and said, "I
I don't know, this Lanhai Pavilion is really an interesting place... When we arrived and changed our names, they knew it and sent people, not for anything else, just to let us enter quickly.
The city... is really incredible..."
Xiao Cangshu also nodded solemnly.
Su Ling waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter what Tangling or Lanhai Pavilion is. Once you come, let's make peace with it. They are planning their own affairs, and we will handle our affairs..."
Xiao Cangshu felt relieved and nodded: "Brother Su... what should we do now? Should we contact He Changjing, the head of the Bohai Shadow Division immediately?"
Su Ling smiled and said: "Why are you so anxious... Look, this Bohai City is as prosperous as a dream, full of tourists. There are pavilions, pavilions, bridges and waterside pavilions everywhere, people doing business, and there are countless all kinds of delicious and fun things. Let's come here."
Now that we’re here, wouldn’t we be sorry for ourselves if we didn’t have some fun? Now, we only have one important thing to do, go shopping!”
"What...shopping?" Xiao Cangshu looked at Su Ling in disbelief.
But seeing that Su Ling was serious about what he said, not joking at all, he walked directly towards the bustling place with the crowd.
Xiao Cangshu had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and follow him.
Needless to say, the bustling and bustling Bohai City is far better than that of Banan, and even compared to Longtai, the capital of the Jin Dynasty.
What's more, it is far away from the capital and belongs to northern Xinjiang, so the customs and customs are quite different.
Su Ling and Xiao Cangshu saw all kinds of new gadgets and special snacks along the way, which was really eye-opening.
Did Su Ling start the shopping mode? She bought all the new things when she saw them. After walking for a while, she bought a lot of things.
Not only that, when I see something I haven’t eaten before, whether it’s a roadside stall or a shop, I have to go in and have a few bites. I’ve eaten at a few of them, and I’m quite satisfied.
It's just that Su Ling was in high spirits, but Xiao Cangshu was in no mood to go shopping like this because he had something on his mind. It was a bit torturous for him.
The two of them wandered around the bustling city of Bohai for nearly two hours. Seeing that Xiao Cangshu was not very interested, Su Ling smiled lightly and then said seriously: "Cangshu, do you blame me for coveting this Bohai city?"
Prosperity, have you missed the real thing?"
Xiao Cangshu nodded and said: "There is a point...Brother Su, you yourself said that we are pressed for time, why should we waste time on such meaningless things?"
Hearing this, Su Ling shook his head and said, "Cang Shu, you should practice short term..."
Seeing Xiao Cangshu looking at him with a confused and slightly unconvinced expression, Su Ling patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "Don't do things too hastily, especially for such important matters, the more anxious you are.
, the more you want to do it faster, the easier it is to go wrong... Cang Shu, please calm down and think about it, no matter Tangling or Bohai City, we know nothing about the weird things in Tangling
It's unresolved. As soon as we arrived in Bohai City, people from Lanhai Pavilion came. Everything happened by chance. Someone must have been secretly following us all the way... If we go and talk to the people from the Shadow Division right away,
Contact, I am afraid that not only we will be exposed, but also the brothers of the Bohai Shadow Division will be implicated, so we can’t go now..."
Xiao Cangshu heard this and nodded convinced.
Su Ling added: "When you go out, especially when the enemy is in the dark and we are clear, you must be cautious in any decision you make... Cang Shu, think about it, this Bohai City is so prosperous and beautiful, how can a normal person
When we come here once, the most instinctive reaction is to go shopping. If we really don’t go shopping, but go to the back streets and alleys, it’s not too unreasonable. Isn’t this the answer written on our faces?
Tell the people who are spying on us that we have a problem and come and arrest us..."
Hearing this, Xiao Cangshu was amused by Su Ling's words, but he still clasped his fists in conviction and said, "Brother Su is right, Cangshu has learned a lesson..."
The two of them walked around for a long time, until the lights in Bohai City started to light up. Su Ling pulled Xiao Cang and said, "Follow me, it's time to go do our business."
Xiao Cangshu nodded hurriedly.
The two of them turned left and right until they left the street and came to a street that was not too remote. There were also a lot of people here, but there were slightly fewer people than on the street.
Su Ling walked around for a while and observed that no one seemed to be following him. Then he and Xiao Cangshu walked into a small inn - Wanghai Inn.
The two walked directly to the counter. Su Ling saw a man in his forties, dressed in fine clothes, sitting behind the counter and calculating accounts. He had the aura of a businessman, and he should be the innkeeper.
Su Ling remained calm and said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper, I'm sorry to bother you..."
The shopkeeper looked up and saw two gentlemen-looking men standing in front of him. He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "You're welcome, are you working as a boss or staying in a hotel?"
Su Ling smiled slowly and said: "Of course it's sharp...but the food we eat has to be made with seawater..."
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then whispered: "How many cents of wine will it cost..."
Su Ling still smiled lightly and said: "Nine coins and eight taels..."
When the shopkeeper heard this, his eyes twitched slightly, and then he whispered: "In that case, you two, come with me..."
With that said, he walked out from the counter and headed inside first.
Su Ling and Xiao Canshu looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
