Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 271 White Snake

"But I want to say goodbye to Master first." Li Mingqing pointed at his chin and said, "Look at the situation over there."

In a small wine shop that opened early in the southeast of the city, Li Mingqing was holding a sword and shaking it.

As soon as Li Weiru walked in, he looked her up and down and chuckled.

".What are you laughing at?"

"When someone laughs, his love is fulfilled and his face is full of beauty." Li Weiru threw the sword on the table, sat down and picked up a glass of sake and said leisurely, "Just like a flower."

"Hmph." Li Mingqing stopped her swaying body, "I'm here to tell you another good thing."

"Oh? Is there anything more beautiful than this?"

"Oops!" Li Mingqing glared, "Would you like to hear the new good things? If you don't, I'll leave."

The old man smiled and said: "You see, you are in a hurry. I said at the time, you must not have found the right way. You rushed too hard, and good things turned into bad things. Tell me, how did it happen in the end?"

"I will not say!"

Li Weiru sighed softly, then suddenly raised his breath, raised his hand and pointed his finger and sang tactfully: "After all, how lucky a man is to mislead others is fame; sweet words are so nice. Who knows it's all fake kindness——"

"Li Weiru!"

The old man laughed.

However, the girl was quickly startled and realized the old man's worries. She leaned forward, gently placed her forehead on the old man's thin shoulder, and said reliantly: "Don't worry, my new good thing is this."

"Ok?"

"Master Ming Sword said that I can enter the Shenjing Sword Training Academy and wrote a letter of recommendation for me."

"."

"In this way, he has his fame and I have my future, and we go together."

"." The worry in Li Weiru's eyes indeed faded away, and she revealed a sincere surprise. However, she frowned and sighed deliberately, "It's a pity that I am an old man, and I don't have a close person by my side when I die."

"Master!" These words were the most unlucky thing in the girl's mind. Her eyes turned red and she hugged the old man deeply from the side.

Li Weiru quickly put his hand on hers: "Just kidding, knowing that you have a future in Shenjing makes me much happier than staying with an old man like me."

However, Li Mingqing couldn't change her mood for the moment and still buried her head in his neck.

"Is there anything else? I'm a little AWOL." Li Weiru changed the topic and smiled.

".Are you busy here?"

"What are you busy with? I think I'm just going to drink and sleep somewhere else." Li Weiru smiled, "What about you?"

"Sword Master Ming and Pei Ye are going to Xiangzhou, and I want to go with them."

"Go." Li Weiru blinked, "They are all very good people, so it wouldn't be good to let them wander around for too long."

".I'm worried that Cuiyu is busy here."

"Oh?" Li Weiru was confused, "Has Miss Li been in charge of the sect's affairs these days?"

"Master!"

"Hahaha." The old man patted her and smiled, "Go quickly, if you want to work hard on Cuiyu, you will get tired of it in the future!"
-

When you leave the south gate of Bowang City, you no longer see a mountain path, but a flat expanse with the broad Lu River rushing in the distance.

Pei Ye led a dark black tall horse, carried a sword box and a long sword on his back, and looked up at the sky.

Heading to Xiangzhou and heading to Kongtong are roughly the same direction, but when Pei Ye is galloping on the official road, Ming Qitian is a straight line in the sky. Pei Ye has not experienced the bright plumes flying through the sky like flowing clouds. At this time, his eyes are open. Watching Li Suiqing rise into the sky with excitement and surprise.

The girl did not forget to wave to him and said: "See you later!"

Pei Ye watched them leave quietly, lowered his head, and held the black cat in front of his eyes: "Skinny cat, when can you take me flying again?"

The black cat stretched out its paw and slapped him on the face.

Pei Ye sighed softly and got on the horse. He felt that except for the horse getting better and the sword getting better, he seemed to be no different from when he first came out of Fenghuai. He was a horse and a cat again, and Shu Jian was alone.

Yang Yan actually wanted to come with him, but Pei Ye chose to bring only "Bengxue" with him.

"You should deal with your Tianshan affairs." Pei Ye said, "I am going to investigate the case, not to fight. Why are you causing trouble?"

".Why can't I investigate the case?"

"You can, check Bowang's. When I come back, I'll open your jade pendant."

"Row."

Pei Ye recalled this conversation, galloping the horse with one hand and stroking the black cat with the other.

"I have to start teaching you how to use [Chi Fire]." Lin Yingfei was retreating, and his subordinate Xian Shou suddenly said.

--------

Bowangzhou City is to the south, Xiangzhou City is to the north, and there is a good horse straight road. It only took Pei Ye half a day and one night to reach this big city, which was even more majestic and broader than Bowang.

In fact, all the way south from Fenghuai, the mountains and rivers gradually move towards the fertile plains. The Xincang Mountains still stretch over, but they are just a distant and tall black shadow on the plains, which can no longer bury the city.

Of course, if you continue to the south, it won't be a flat area. The entire Shaolong area is actually full of mountains and rivers, but except for "Da Kongtong", most of the remaining mountains can be exhausted by manpower.

When Pei Ye passed through the first county town in Xiangzhou, he found that it looked richer than Zheng Shou, who he passed on the road. When he arrived at the city, he saw that there were rows of pavilions and pavilions, and it was a whole lot more prosperous than Bowang. level.

But at this time, Pei Ye was no longer the young man who didn't know where to look when he first entered the city. He had something in mind. He looked at it from a distance and made a judgment. It looked like there were fewer pavilions in the west, so he headed that way. .

It is said to be the west of the city. In fact, given the size of Xiangzhou City, Pei Ye only reached a small area in the northwest corner. A river in the city surrounded this place. Seven streets and nine roads intertwined into hundreds of buildings of different sizes, almost A small town. On the river in the distance, four boats were docked there. The laborers were going up and down, as if they could hear the chants in the distance.

Lively, chaotic, and prosperous, Pei Ye walked into this place and first looked for an inn with a reasonable price.

When he first entered Bowang, he looked at Zhuoyue Tower with greed, but suffered from lack of money. At this time, he was pregnant with a hundred taels, and Xiangzhou's residence could be anywhere, but Pei Ye felt that it was not interesting to be alone, and he was used to choosing cheaper places. residence.

After handing the horse over to the waiter, Pei Ye walked into the dim hall. The shopkeeper at the counter, looking down at the counter to settle accounts, seemed to be exactly the same as the last one.

"Treasurer, stay in the store!"

Pei Ye walked to the stage. The middle-aged man with numb face raised his head and glanced at him: "Name?"

Pei Ye placed a dark gold bronze medal on the stage and pushed it in front of him.

The shopkeeper was suddenly startled, and the pockmarks on his face seemed to stand up for a moment. He stared at it for a long time before raising his head: "Young Master Pei Pei, which room do you live in?" It worked beyond his expectation.

“Waiter——Send distinguished guests to check in!”

"I'm not busy." Pei Ye took the house sign and took back the Xia ultimatum, "I want to ask you something, shopkeeper, where is the Qiyun Chamber of Commerce?"

The shopkeeper was startled: "The guest asked where is the Qiyun Chamber of Commerce?"

".Are there many Qiyun Chamber of Commerce?"

The shopkeeper laughed: "Qi Yun is our big chamber of commerce in Xiangzhou. If you look for the right brand to buy and sell things, there are twenty-one 'Qi Yun Buildings' in the city. The nearest one is on the fifth floor of the first building when you go south. That’s it; if you want to negotiate business through acquaintances, you have to go east, go to the territory of the dignitaries, and take a look at the 'Bixiao Pavilion'; and if you want to make a living with your body."

He lowered his head and glanced at the place where Pei Ye had just placed the knight's certificate: "Then young knight, there is no need to move. The 'Seven-Nine City' under your feet has a radius of one mile and hundreds of households and thousands of doors, all relying on the brand 'Qiyun' And live!”

Pei Ye walked out of the inn and looked at the so-called "Seven or Nine Cities" in the distance.

It is true as the shopkeeper said, because goods from all directions are distributed and circulated here, accountants, strongmen, buyers, sellers, etc. gather here. When there are men, there are women, who make cakes, wash clothes, and weave cloth. There are also some shady but indispensable businesses. When you have a job, you have a place to settle down, and when you have a family to settle down, you have to have a shop to make a living. This area The place just became lively.

Nobles and dignitaries would not come to a place like this, and it was rare to see a scholar with any status. This was a place where the lower classes of civilians worked hard to earn a living, and gangs were born out of such hard work.

When he was in Bowang, Zhang Dingyun sounded like he could compete with Qiyun Company, but Dingyun didn't have such momentum in Bowang.

Pei Ye thought that if he wanted to ask about Dongfang Tian thirty years ago, it would be best to go to the so-called "Bixiao Pavilion", but what kind of business could he discuss with others?

The ultimatum in his hand may be used as a ticket to the "upper class", but unfortunately he does not have the ability to handle it with ease.

It would be nice if Li Minqing was here at this time.

Pei Ye sighed secretly, but suddenly turned his head and heard a warm whistle and applause from the building next to him.

Then came the playing and singing, and the young boy at the door shouted loudly: "Shui Xiu, iron gong, bright silver voice, two copper coins, listen for a while! There are only thirteen empty seats left for Miss Yi Chengxin's "White Snake Love"—— "

When Pei Ye walked by, he took a few glances in and was caught by his sharp eyes: "Brother, what are you busy with? You look so busy, why don't you sit down and have a rest, listen to a play and drink a pot of tea first? ?”

Pei Ye didn't even open his mouth, he just smiled: "Aren't there only thirteen places left? I won't occupy your business."

"Hey - you have a seat here." Xiaosheng shouted, and then whispered, "Let me tell you, this is Sun Da Qingyi's favorite disciple. He may be on stage for the last time today. .”

Pei Ye waved his hand, but instead held his wrist: "Brother, I have something urgent to do. Come and join us - let me ask you about it. I heard that this 'Seven-Nine City' is Qi Yun's territory, but I don't know what to do." Who is it?"

Xiaosheng's eyes widened, but he fell silent, and all the enthusiasm was gone.

After a long while, he said somewhat dullly: "Two miles and seventy-nine cities, the north side is looking for Changsun to take care of things, the south side is looking for Young Master Xu, and the east side is looking for the three leading figures of Gang Leader Di, and they all look up to 'Longzhu' Master Kou. Speaking of words, no matter how big a job I can do, I can only ask for it."

Pei Ye nodded and wrote down: "Thank you very much. I'm new here, but I don't know if I can point you to a place."

"Steward Zhangsun is usually at the dock. If you want to find Mr. Kou, just go straight ahead. The most majestic and beautiful building is there. As for Mr. Xu and Gang Leader Di," Xiaosheng looked at him dully and pointed in, "Now Right now in our courtyard."

"." Pei Ye reached out and took out three copper coins, "Two coins for play, one for thanks."

Xiaosheng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Sir, please come in quickly!"

He called in: "A new guest! More tea——"

As soon as I entered the door, I realized that it was much more spacious than I imagined.

When he looked at it from the outside, Pei Ye knew that it was not high, just a second floor. But when he came in, he was surprised by how wide it was, with tables, chairs, tea, and some cheap snacks. Three hundred people - to be honest, two copper coins for the theater was not enough for people to sit on the ground crowded together. Pei Ye was really worried about the level of the actors.

The people listening to the play were all the people working around, wearing gray and brown linen clothes. There were more women and old people than men, and many of them had half-grown children at their knees. Looking up, there are only two people sitting on the second floor.

There were wide tables and large chairs, sitting side by side, with more than a dozen strong men standing behind them. Because of the presence of this group of people, the voices in the audience were lowered.

There were two people at the table, one of them dressed in brocade, with a slender figure and handsome facial features, but so thin that his cheekbones protruded, making his whole face look fierce. There was also a thin scar from his cheek to his chin, and he was dressed in a romantic style. The young master has a temperament like a prison hand. A pair of slender and sharp hands is holding a long fan and shaking it gently.

The other man was in his thirties, with no outstanding expression. He was leaning on the seat silently, his figure hidden in the cloak. A black knife handle was exposed from the mouth of the cloak, and was gently pressed by three fingers.

Both of them looked at the stage quietly, but it didn't seem like they were listening to a play, but like they were waiting for something.

Pei Ye found a seat and sat down, looking up at the stairs, knowing that these were the two people Xiaosheng mentioned. If he wanted to follow the rivers and lakes path to the Qiyun Chamber of Commerce, he could start with these two people.

But Pei Ye did not step forward rashly.

After all, he had just arrived, and he was alone at this time. The matter was shrouded in fog. If he accidentally asked something wrong, he would inevitably alert the enemy. It's like cutting a piece of jade. It's better to be slower and more careful and make more twists and turns than to make a wrong move.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a clear female voice next to him saying seriously: "There is a lot of information here, and some often miss the important points. You start here; I will go to Bixiao Pavilion to find their shop owner. Ask around. In this way, you and I can force things out of the water by communicating and supporting each other, inside and outside, up and down, moving and still."

Pei Ye twisted his neck and was stunned.

The girl in green wore a single sword, and her blouse outlined her soft figure. She tilted her head and smiled and said, "I just want to have a few words with Master Ming Sword. How can I trust you to do such a dangerous thing by yourself?"

"." Pei Ye couldn't help laughing and hummed, "You are really troublesome."

Li Pingqing stepped forward with her soft boots, squeezed in beside him and sat down straightly.

".What are you doing? Don't sit down. Aren't you going to Bixiao Pavilion?"

"Let's listen to the opera for a while. I haven't even listened to the opera together." Li Mingqing put her hands on her knees and looked at the field, interrupting Pei Ye's wide eyes, "She sings so well."

Pei Ye was startled for a moment, and then took a serious look for the first time.

Just like the stone tiles paving the ground and neat tables and chairs, the decoration of this stage is also exquisite and unique. Everything is in accordance with the standards of the theaters in the east. Although the materials are inevitably cheap, they try to make up for it with human effort and there is nothing perfunctory.

An extremely young Kun Jiao was dancing on the stage. He had a pink hairpin and a pretty face. His voice was as clear as water, and he breathed seven or eight times in one breath, but he was still surprisingly steady.

Pei Ye rarely listened to operas, and indeed he had never heard such a voice.

She neither looked at the audience below the stage nor paid attention to the faucet upstairs. A clear voice came out, which seemed a bit cold in the hustle and bustle: "There is no need to talk about the cold clouds in the fairy palace. I am born with fairy grass."

Li Mingqing listened quietly for a while, then turned her head and asked a theater guest: "Brother, this play is so fresh. I wonder what it is singing?"

She was good-looking, kind and polite, and people were willing to tell her, but they started with a sigh.

"This "White Snake Love" is really only available in our Qijiu Theater, and only Miss Yi Chengxin can sing it well. Unfortunately, she is about to marry far away. It is said that under the Immortal Seat, there is a man who handles the fairy grass. White Snake, a transformed woman fell in love with a painter in the human world, but they were separated by life and death because of the different paths between human beings and immortals. It was so sad and touching, and the iron heart was filled with tears."

　Li Weiru's lyrics are an excerpt from "A Dream in the Boudoir".
