Chapter 171 Some people are happy and some are sad
After Xu Yan entered the city, the time was approaching You hour.
In the sky, heavy snow is still there.
But at first glance, the entire Wangchuan City was very lively. The crowds on the streets were one after another, and they were not at all swept away by the wind and snow at this moment.
When I walked into the downtown area, it was dinner time and the fragrance was everywhere in various restaurants and inns, which made Xu Yan, who had been on the road all day, feel a little excited.
Wangchuan City is very big.
The big city that can accommodate millions of people is naturally not comparable to other towns or cities.
Just as hiking, you can walk from the south gate to the north gate and walk in a straight line. If you don’t have several days, you will never end.
When Xu Yan entered Wangchuan City from the south gate, he naturally first lived in the Nancheng District. This place was not the most prosperous area in the county town, because the most prosperous circle was in the middle circle of the county town. There were not only the highest-end marshals and romantic places, but also various famous food buildings.
Xu Yan did not plan to go to Chen Qinghe's home today. There are two reasons. One is that if he didn't look for a carriage to travel, he would never get there tonight; the other is that there are still many things that he has not yet solved, but he really wants to solve first.
In Wangchuan City, there is an inn that is very famous, called Fulu Inn, but this inn is not only one, but has one in the four urban areas of the county town, southeast, west and northwest.
After Xu Yan entered the city, he went directly to Fulu Inn in Nancheng District and ordered dinner, but he did not plan to eat outside, but asked the waiter in the store to deliver it to his house after the meal was prepared.
In Fulu Inn, the classification level of rooms is very strict and is classified into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang.
Among them, the room with the Tianzi size is the most expensive. Xu Yan glanced at the price list engraved on the sign, and felt speechless in his heart, because it said that the Tianzi size room was divided into four rooms, named "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter", which was exactly the same as the names of the four major factions in their sects. However, the price of staying for one night was a bit outrageous, as high as ten taels of silver.
Although Xu Yan still had a lot of silver on his body, he would not be so extravagant and wasted, so in the end, he chose a Xuan-sized room.
A room of this grade, staying for one night is only one or two silver taels.
As for why he didn't choose a yellow room that could stay for one night for only five cents, only God knows.
After Xu Yan was taken to the room by the waiter in the store, the waiter had already said with a smile, but before leaving, he said that the food might take about two minutes before it was delivered to his room. Of course, he did not forget to explain the specific reason, saying that it is now at its peak and the end of the year is approaching, and there are many people coming to the county town to buy New Year's goods. The Fulu Inn is the inn with the largest number of passers-by, so the service may be relatively worse than usual.
Naturally, Xu Yan didn't care about the length of the serving time, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, even if it lasted two quarters of an hour, they wouldn't blame them, as long as it didn't take more than two hours."
Seeing that he was so easy to get along with, the waiter felt a sudden increase in his favor, so he naturally took a lot of attention to his affairs.
In the end, almost a quarter of an hour passed, and the waiter personally delivered Xu Yan's meal.
After seeing this, Xu Yan thanked him for taking the meal, but did not forget to reward him with two cents of silver, which made the waiter even more happy.
I have to say that the food in Fulu Inn is indeed very delicious. This is basically the best meal Xu Yan has eaten so far since he headed north. Of course, its price is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary restaurants.
After Xu Yan finished the meal, the waiter came over to take away the plate as usual and then practiced on the bed.
He has been moving north until now, except after nightfall every day, he has rarely had real stable time for him to practice. Therefore, after so many months, he has never successfully broken through his cultivation level, which has long been close to the bottleneck, which has made him feel a little mixed.
Joy comes from the fact that one's foundation is becoming more solid, while worry is because the current state is still too low.
Especially after entering Jinxi Town, he met Yan Fu, the head of the Yan family. As for what kind of masters are waiting for him after Yan Fu, he could not predict at all.
Yan Fu is a sword cultivator with a late-stage cultivation level of seven-story building. With the current Xu Yan realm, it is hard to say whether he can take the next move smoothly. Of course, it is not reasonable to use them to compare this way. After all, as far as Xu Yan's age is concerned, it is already quite exaggerated to have his current realm. After all, he is still more than half a month away from the age of seventeen, but he is already a dual-cultivator who is at the peak of the fourth floor of swordsmanship and the peak of the fifth level of martial arts.
"I don't know if those people dare to come to me for trouble openly. I hope they can be more courageous. It's better to raise this than I can't handle it at that time."
Xu Yan sat cross-legged on the bed of the inn, and said softly before entering into meditation.
...
In the west city of Wangchuan City, in a man who looked majestic, there was a man sitting in his study at the moment listening to his subordinates report to him about all the situation in this Zhongjun city today.
As usual, after hearing most of the things, no special events occurred in the city, which made him feel a little more relaxed. After all, the end of the year is approaching, and he doesn't want any more emergencies to happen under his nose. And most importantly, as long as this year passes, the responsibilities he bears on his body will be completely over. From the beginning of the Ming Nian, he can completely leave this county town and return to his home.
He has been here for a full ten years, and his purpose is nothing more than just for the benefit of his family. Now he can finally retire.
"Have you reported everything?"
Just after his nephew Su Qinghuan's voice completely stopped, Su Tang, who was sitting on the main seat, asked.
Upon hearing this, Su Qinghuan immediately replied: "Reply to my uncle's words, what I have collected in my hands has been reported."
Su Tang nodded with satisfaction, but his face still said with a seriousness: "Although there have been no special or bad things in the city in recent months, the Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated, so we must be more cautious and not be careless. Only when someone from above sent me to take over my position can we relax."
Su Qinghuan was arrogant about this, and said humbly: "Yes, uncle! My nephew knows the priorities of the matter, and he will never dare to miss my uncle's big deal."
Su Tang has always been very satisfied with his nephew. Now, seeing that the other party has matured so much after following him for many years, he is naturally even more relieved. He immediately said, "Okay, since there is nothing else, you should go back to have a meal early, it's not too late."
Su Qinghuan knew that his uncle had no need to eat, but he was still quite far from the high seven-story building. Therefore, he had to be like the mortals in the city, so he naturally could not live without the three meals a day. He immediately bowed and replied: "Yes, uncle!"
However, when Su Qinghuan had just walked out of his uncle's study and in the courtyard at the door, Chunzhi, the attendant who was in charge of his uncle's daily summons, hurried into the study and carried a letter in his hand.
When Chunzhi saw Su Qinghuan leaving, he hurriedly handed the letter to him and said, "Master, this is a message just received from the guards of the South Gate, saying that there is something very urgent there to report to the second master."
When Su Qinghuan heard him say this, he reached out to take the letter, frowned and asked, "What else did the sender say?"
Chunzhi shook his head and replied, "No, the sender said only this to me, but others should still be waiting outside the door. Should I send him a reply?"
When Chunzhi was talking, Zhang Qinghuan had already opened the letter in his hand. Just as he saw what was written in the letter, his face changed suddenly. He said to Chunzhi sternly: "Hurry up, go and take the sender to the side hall and let him stand by in there."
Seeing that he looked serious, the servant Chunzhi replied "Yes", and hurried outside the door again.
Inside the study.
Su Tang, who had already taken the letter from Su Qinghuan and read it carefully, instantly slapped the tea case and shouted sternly: "It's outrageous, it's outrageous! How dare this boy be so blatant and kill the sergeant commander in our army, it's simply too rampant!"
When Zhang Qinghuan saw his uncle angry, he looked calm on the surface. After he hesitating for a moment, he asked tentatively: "Uncle, although this person has the identity of attending next year's dynasty event, since he dares to kill the people in our army in advance, can we also take this opportunity to find a reason to take him? Anyway, if the above really needs to be traced back then, we can also find a lot of reasons to make excuses."
After hearing this statement, Su Tang shook his head with a serious expression and replied bluntly: "You can't do this. Just killing a mere sergeant commander. This kind of thing is too insignificant. As our identity, it is impossible to argue that if we don't take the initiative to protect him from danger. How can we still attack him? If we were to be known today, we would not find any reason to refute it. Besides, the sergeant commander probably took some benefits from some people before he dared to offend the young man. Otherwise, who would easily kill him? If someone sent someone to do this kind of thing, it would be too easy to be found."
Su Qinghuan's handsome face was full of confusion and asked, "Then can we only watch him so arrogant and domineering, but can't do anything? If he can successfully enter Yong'an City, how should we reply to them in the Gao family?"
Su Tang said in a heavy tone: "Since they can bribe the people in the army, I guess they must have known about the young man entering the city now. Don't worry, they are much more anxious than us. Moreover, this young man still has a long way to leave Lingzhou. There is enough to happen along the way, so we just need to wait and see what happens."
