Me and my Jianghu Tavern

Chapter 200: New Mission

Outside Jian'an City, Jianghu Tavern.

Lei Hu went out of the city to the tavern as usual, pushed open the door of the tavern, took care of it, and then waited in front of the counter for today's guests.

The shopkeeper followed the guests to Chang'an, and left him as a junior to guard the inn here.

The number of customers who often come to drink on weekdays is also reduced, and only a few regular customers come to the tavern to drink.

Not long after the tavern opened, three people came to the tavern.

Lei Hu remembered these three people. The last time he came to the tavern, he was taught a lesson by the shopkeeper, and the three 'jianghu people' who knelt down because of the shopkeeper's frightening skills.

The sword-bearer took a step forward and asked, "Well, isn't the shopkeeper here?"

"The shopkeeper has something to go out, what's the matter with you?" Lei Hu asked.

"No, it's nothing. I just want to buy a jug of wine." One of them said, and the other two nodded respectfully.

"Silver." Lei Hu said.

The three of them scraped together four taels of silver and bought a pot of plum wine, Lei Hu took it, and went to fetch the wine.

Lei Hu didn't know how to talk at all, and his attitude now is a bit like Zhang Ming's when he was in the tavern. He didn't like drinking or drinking, and he didn't treat the guests very well.

"Try it quickly."

"Give me some."

"Hey, pour less, there's no more for me."

The three of them shared the wine, it didn't matter if the wine was delicious, they didn't like wine but now they fell in love with wine.

While they were drinking, a little Taoist priest wearing Taoist robes came along the official road outside the tavern, and a young man followed beside the little Taoist priest.

Lei Hu saw this person walking into the tavern, after thinking about it, he went up to greet him, "Please."

Xu Yi didn't react when he saw Lei Hu. He looked in the tavern, but he didn't see Zhang Ming, so he asked, "Are you Xiaoer? Is the shopkeeper there?"

Lei Hu shook his head and explained: "The shopkeeper has gone to Chang'an."

Went to Chang'an?The three drinking at the table in the tavern fell silent when they heard this. The three looked at each other and spoke softly, as if they were discussing something.

"Going to Chang'an..." Xu Yi murmured.

Meng Buyan asked: "Ban Daozi, is it possible that you come here to drink?"

"No." Xu Yi continued, "I'm here to retrieve the jade pendant."

Meng Buyan came to his senses. He remembered that Xu Yi seemed to have said this, and he was laughed at by himself for several days. He thought that Han Daozi had spent a lot of effort for the 40 taels, and finally he stole the 40 taels from home. Two denarii came out.

"Jade pendant? What jade pendant?" Lei Hu asked suspiciously.

"Didn't the shopkeeper explain to you?" Xu Yi frowned. If the shopkeeper is not here, wouldn't it be possible to get the jade pendant back?

"No." Lei Hu shook his head.

"Can you look for it?" Xu Yi asked.

Lei Hu planned to drive people away directly, but shook his head and refused: "The shopkeeper is not here, I can't make the decision, please go back."

"This..." Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "How long will it be before the shopkeeper returns?"

"I don't know." Lei Hu shook his head.

"Then how long have you been there, shopkeeper?"

"More than half a month."

Xu Yi pondered for a moment, thinking about what to do.

Meng Buyan said: "Halfway, why are you in a hurry, it's only a month or so to go to Chang'an, at worst, wait half a month."

Xu Yi sighed and said, "Then, just wait another half a month."

……

At this moment.

Outside Chang'an City, Zhang Ming, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Is that little Taoist here?" Zhang Ming muttered.

The system sent a reminder, but it was just a reminder. He had a mission that was only [-] away. If it wasn't for the sudden system reminder, he would have almost forgotten that there was a mission.

"I forgot to explain to Lei Hu." Zhang Ming sighed. If he did, the task might be completed.

The jade pendant was placed under the quilt in the room on the second floor of the tavern, and it could be retrieved by just flipping through it, but Lei Hu probably wouldn't go to the second floor at all, and he wouldn't even go to the counter, because he was too disciplined.

Zhang Ming opened the curtain, and there was a majestic city wall in front of him. If there is no mistake, this is the gate of Chang'an City. Once you enter the gate, you will be Chang'an.

"Is this what Chang'an City looks like?" Zhang Ming murmured, he had been here before in his previous life, but it was a big change, the real Chang'an City in front of him, the Chang'an City back then had a unique flavor.

Nian'an muttered, "It's Chang'an."

As soon as he entered Chang'an City, a voice suddenly appeared in Zhang Ming's mind.

[Regional Mission: Chang'an Fine Wine]

[Task Content]: Taste at least ten kinds of famous wine in Chang'an City. (0/10)

【Task time】: January

[Task Rewards]: Distributed by stages. (Every time you taste a wine, you will get the same reward. Whether it is a wine that meets the task requirements is determined by the system.)

Zhang Ming smiled slightly and muttered, "Long time no see."

The long-lost mission, I haven't seen it for a long time.

Nian An looked back at Zhang Ming and asked, "Benefactor Zhang has been here before?"

Zhang Ming came back to his senses and replied, "I guess I've been here before."

Nian'an nodded and continued to drive the horse.

Zhang Ming was sitting in the carriage, there was a lot of hawking outside, and there was a burst of smell from time to time, probably from the food sold on the street, he lifted the curtain of the carriage, glanced outside, and sighed: "It's so lively. .”

Compared with Jian'an City, Chang'an City is indeed much more prosperous.

"Monk, you must have been here many times." Zhang Ming said.

Nian An shook his head and said, "This is only the second time, little monk."

"You have lived for a hundred years and only come here twice? I don't believe it." Zhang Ming said.

"Although Chang'an is prosperous, it is not as beautiful as the world." Nian'an said with a smile.

Zhang Ming ignored him and pulled back the curtain.

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of a mansion.

Zhang Ming lifted the curtain and took a look, and saw that there was no plaque in the mansion, and the gate was also covered with dust.

"Why did you stop here?" Zhang Ming asked.

"It's time to stop when the place is reached." Nian An said.

Zhang Ming was a little puzzled. He got out of the carriage and looked at the mansion in front of him.

The mansion is very big, the walls alone are several meters high, it must be a big mansion, but this kind of mansion has no plaque, and the buckle on the door is full of dust.

"Are we going to stay here again?" Zhang Ming asked with a frown. He originally wanted to find an inn and make a living.

Nian An clasped his hands together and said: "This place was left by my old friend, and now there is no one here."

"This is Chang'an City. With such a big house, which one of your friends is from?" Zhang Ming said.

"My little monk once mentioned an old friend to Master Zhang." Nian An said.

"Who? It can't be the ancestor of the Su family."

"Exactly."

Zhang Ming opened his mouth slightly. The ancestor of the Su family was quite powerful, and he didn't know why he moved to Jiangling.

Chapter 201: The promised day has arrived

Wearing white clothes but bony and pale, he looked like a beggar who had starved for several days on the street, and was even thinner.

"Cough cough."

The person under the tree covered his mouth and coughed twice, he was getting worse day by day, thinking that his remaining days were numbered.

Standing next to the man was a purple-robed swordsman with a long sword hanging down from his waist, giving him the feeling that no one was close to him.

"Not going to the city?" Yan Bei'an said indifferently.

It would be strange for the Sword Immortal to appear outside Chang'an City. If those people in Chang'an City knew about it, it might be even more chaotic. Now that the Sword Immortal is here, even the current emperor has to weigh it.

"Isn't it the agreed date?" Liang Shurong smiled.

The date on the greeting card was three days later, so he didn't need to worry at all, there might be a lot of trouble if he entered Chang'an City early, and many people he didn't want to see would appear.

Yan Bei'an raised his head. He didn't see Liang Shurong's growth during this journey. He just traveled all over the country and saw all the five mountains and rivers.

It has to be said that Yan Bei'an's heart was also calmed down by the beauty of this world, and the stop at the Yuxiao Palace under the cliff made Liang Shurong gain half of the power of the sky. Since then, Liang Shurong has really had the power to protect himself .

Of the three chances to make a move, Liang Shurong used two of them, one on a demon monk, one on the Yuxiao Palace, and now almost the remaining one, presumably it was going to be in the gate of the palace.

"You won't have a chance to choose after entering there." Yan Bei'an said.

"I've gone where I should go, so I'm not afraid anymore." Liang Shurong smiled.

Yuxiao Palace won half of the power of heaven and earth in the first battle, and now he has mastered it, but for the remaining half, he is still afraid and dare not take it. He knows very well that if he stretches out that hand, the end may be death.

Therefore, until the last moment, he will not rush to take the remaining momentum.

All of this will have to wait until three days later.

Liang Shurong could even imagine what Chang'an City would look like that day. There must be chaos, gunpowder would rise, troops would rush to every corner of Chang'an City, and everyone hiding in the dark would come out.

These people are just missing a reason.

Fighting also needs a reason, and this reason is just a title similar to 'remnants of the previous dynasty'.

.........

Monk Nian An didn't know where he went again, only the unconscious Chu Hang and Zhang Ming were left in the mansion.

This huge mansion is full of traces of time.

The flowers in the flower garden withered and bloomed until they disappeared. Weeds overgrown and occupied the entire flower garden. Everywhere you went, you could see thick dust.

"According to the monk, this courtyard must be more than 100 years old." Zhang Ming thought.

Such a large mansion in Chang'an City, no one lived in it but remained there for more than 100 years. But it has remained in the present.

Zhang Ming wandered around casually, and then took a look at Chu Hang.

Monk Nian'an said that it would take at least three or four days for Chuhang to wake up, and he is happy now, probably today.

At night, the moon rises.

Chu Hang woke up from his drowsiness, moved his fingers, and slowly opened his eyes. As soon as he woke up, he felt severe pain in his muscles and veins, and the cold poison in his body was still faintly smoldering.

"Hiss." Chu Hang bared his teeth, and after calming down a bit, he could see the scene in front of him clearly.

There was nothing in this room, except for a bed under him, and a candle still flickering on the desk, and the rest was only dust everywhere.

"Master, it's not like he's in the underworld." Chu Hang's face was uncertain.

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

Zhang Ming walked in and saw that Chu Hang had sat up, "Are you awake!?"

"The shopkeeper." Chu Hang shouted, and when he saw Zhang Ming, he muttered with certainty, "So I'm not dead, young master."

However, since he forcibly broke into a coma, he didn't remember anything.

Zhang Ming stepped forward and threw the jug in his hand to Chu Hang. Chu Hang reached out to catch it and looked at Zhang Ming.
