Master of the rivers and lakes

Chapter 382
Except for Qingshui, he had never asked for anything in the inn, but the reward was more money than the guests who ate big fish and meat.

No wonder the owner of the inn had a smile on his face when he saw him.

In fact, the residents of Yunwu Town knew more or less about Yang Chao.

Because they knew that Yang Chao was the son of Dayan's only Wang Shangshan Wang Yang Yao with a different surname, and the future Shangshan King.

Every year, Yang Chao would come to Fengjing as the heir son of Shangshan Prince, and then come to Yunwu Town to stay for a few days.

Only this time, Yang Chao seemed completely different from the playboy he had shown in the past, which made the residents of the town a little uncomfortable for a while.

Da Shizi Yang didn't bully everyone in the town?The sun really came out from the west.

Some people say that he is waiting for someone, while others say that he is looking for the heavenly book that the legendary White Ape Taoist buried in the town before he ascended.

Someone said that he could see the boudoir of his childhood sweetheart from that window.

Although the woman no longer lives here, he still finds a chance to come back, looking at the empty attic every day.

Of course, these are all the gossips of local residents who have nothing to do.

In fact, after thinking about it, I know that Yang Chao's childhood sweetheart will be in Yunwu Town?

Moreover, Yang Chao came to Yunwu Town to bully the people, how could he still have childhood sweethearts?
Besides, you can indeed see a small building from the window, but this is the first floor, the first floor, big brother.

On the first floor, you can only see the gate, and you can see a ghostly attic. Whose childhood sweetheart stays at the gate every day.

Moreover, the small building used to be a brothel, and because of the murder in the brothel, it was rumored to be haunted, so it had been abandoned for two years and no one took over.

Even a few decades ago, it was a land of ruins, where did the girl come from.

Could it be that the childhood sweetheart of the dignified prince is a prostitute?
Taoist Baiyuan is even more legendary. Legend has it that he ascended to immortality and buried his cultivation scriptures in Yunwu Town.

After thinking about it, he knew it was impossible. If it was true, Yunwu Town would have been turned upside down long ago.

After thinking about it, it seems that I'd better wait for someone more reliable.

Therefore, the waiter sometimes couldn't help being curious, and secretly looked out of the window from his seat.

But the result was quite disappointing, and there was no special view outside the window.

Opposite the narrow Qingshi Road, there is a group of low-rise shops with a three-story building in the middle.

It was originally the largest brothel in Yunwu Town, but because of a murder case, the brothel has been rumored to be haunted.

Now the brothel is also closed, and no one dares to take that small building.

The walls of the small building have been whitened by inferior lime paint, like the lead powder on the face of a low-class prostitute.

The black tiles on the top were densely pressed down along the eaves, and the edges of the tiles were outlined with rain lines, spreading all the way to the bluestone slab in front of the threshold.

There was just a heavy rain last night, and the weather this evening is a bit cold, and the air is filled with the smell of decaying animals and plants.

There are also a few individual guests scattered in the inn, drinking and talking loudly at the same time.

Yang Chao was sitting in front of the window, feeling the cold air outside, he was indeed waiting.

But not waiting for people, but waiting for news.

In the past, he came to Yunwu Town for the purpose of contacting people from the Xijiang faction, and nothing else mattered.

So he doesn't need to make any arrangements, just perform according to the fixed impression shown to the court.

After all, he knew that there would always be people from the Tianji Sect watching him.

But this time is different, this time the news he has to wait for is very important, this is what his father ordered.

Even though he didn't like to mix with those people very much, but now Shangshan Palace is still his father's decision.

He can only listen to his father.

As for the Tianji Gate, there is no need to worry. According to his father, the people who monitor them have been arranged by their own people to be their own people.

Yang Chao has always known that among those people in the Tianji Gate, there are people of his own who have taken refuge in his father, but he can't guess who it is, and his father won't tell him.

But Yang Chao guessed that they were at least at the level of the eight major headhunters.

Yang Chao put on the bowl filled with clear water, and said to himself in a low voice: "Father, you have your own people, why don't I have them?"

Of course, Yang Chao also has his own news to wait for.

That was the news from King Yi Shui of Xijiang Sect.

On the second day after he came to Yunwu Town, he received a letter from Yang You.

The letter was very simple, it only mentioned one thing at the martial arts conference that day: the identity of King Yi Shui.

Then Yang Chao asked Yang You to take someone to bring King Yi Shui back.

This is the news he was waiting for.

Just when Yang Chao was thinking about something, a very thin sob came from the corner of the room.

Amidst the sound of punching and commanding, this sobbing was extremely inconspicuous, as if it was just a cat meowing.

Yang Chao's eyes were as sharp as a falcon, and he was fixed on the counter in front of him.

Pagoda trees are abundant here, and the furniture of ordinary people in the town is made of two pieces of wooden pier and one thick board.

But the counter in front of him is different, it is completely made of an unusually large stone mortar turned upside down.

It looks bulky and old, the countertop is covered with thick wooden planks, two-thirds of which have turned oil black.

Beside the counter, a girl with the appearance of a beggar was sitting on the ground leaning on the cold stone mortar.

A tattered straw hat was pulled very low by the beggar, revealing a few strands of black hair.

She sobbed again in a low voice, the weather was not cold, but she wrapped her body tightly in a linen gown worn by men.

The owner of the inn frowned, and just wanted to drive this beggar-looking girl out, so as not to pollute the place.

At this moment, Yang Chao's face softened again, he pushed away the clear water in front of him, and walked slowly towards the girl.

Seeing Yang Chao approaching, the shopkeeper had a bad heart. This master would not dislike the presence of beggars in the shop and ask for...

But the shopkeeper hurriedly said respectfully: "My lord, this..."

Yang Chao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it."

Yang Chao squatted down, lifted the straw hat of the beggar woman with his hands, then held her face with his hands, and said softly: "No need to do this, come with me."

The woman seemed relieved when she heard this, and was about to say something, but when she saw Yang Chao shaking her head lightly, she didn't speak.

Then Yang Chao got up and said to the shopkeeper: "One upper room, prepare hot water, and prepare meals."

Although the shopkeeper didn't understand what Yang Chao wanted to do, he didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly gave orders.

Watching Yang Chao lead the woman's hand up to the second floor, the shopkeeper was still thinking: I didn't expect that the prince of Shangshan would always come to him.

Although in the shopkeeper's opinion, the beggar should look pretty good after being cleaned.

The shopkeeper shook his head and didn't think about it anymore. Maybe this prince will sell this poor beggar after playing with him for a while, maybe he will kill him directly?
Alas, it's pitiful enough to be reduced to a beggar, but in the end you have to be played with.
