Kaifeng Bistro

"This person has an unlucky face." Zhuo Zhuo looked carefully again: "Hehe, he didn't owe too much money and jumped into the river, right?"

Zhan Zhao looked at Zhuo Zhuo without saying a word, Zhuo Zhuo Jun blushed, and suddenly realized something, she opened her mouth wide in surprise: "Oh my god...he really jumped into the river?!"

Zhan Zhao sighed, and put the paper away carefully: "That's right. This person is Zhang Shanchu, a student of Chongyizhai in the Taixue Waishe. He didn't say where he went, and then he didn't return all night, the head of the fasting room reported to the academic officer according to the rules of the Taixue, and the academic officer heard that something was wrong, so he went to the government to report the case."

"Could it be that he ran to Killing Pig Alley?" Zhuo Zhuo was still immersed in shock: "This is not impossible, right? Have you looked for it?"

"I searched, but no one was found. But two days ago, someone found a corpse outside the city."

Tan Zhifeng already had a premonition from Zhou Yanjing's few words this morning. It's a pity that that poor spiritual power still failed to change his fate in the end.

However, although his spells are weak, it shouldn't be so bad... Tan Zhifeng was thinking with his head down, but he didn't realize that Zhan Zhao took out another piece of paper.The paper unfolded slowly, thick black eyebrows like mountains and ridges, and a pair of beautiful and stern eyes were exposed bit by bit, Yi Yi and Zhuo Zhuo tensed up, only Chang Chang who had just run over looked at it, and then exclaimed : "Ah! Zhifeng your..."

Yi Yi picked up Shangshang from the ground, kicked his legs back and forth in the air, and looked at Tan Zhifeng in bewilderment.

Zhan Zhao looked at Tan Zhifeng, and Tan Zhifeng groaned inwardly. He found it difficult to move his gaze away from the paper, so he simply stared at the person on the paper, pretending to be identifying them carefully.

Seeing Zhan Zhao smoothing the paper, Tan Zhifeng finally calmed down and said, "Well... this, this person came to our place. Chang Chang remembers it, and I remember it too."

Zhan Zhao looked at Tan Zhifeng's downcast eyes. If he read correctly, when the scroll was unfolded just now, the expression on Tan Zhifeng's face was completely frozen.

At this time, Tan Zhifeng raised his head, smiled, and said to Zhan Zhao: "Shangshang probably wants to say that he is our first guest here."

"Oh?" Zhan Zhao sat down. At this moment, his eyes became very serious, and he was completely different from the modest and warm gentleman just now.

He put away the two paintings and asked, "Really? Just now you said that you came to Kaifeng on the first day of October. Then, when did this person come to your shop?"

"About half a month later, the first day of our opening." Yi Yi replied for Tan Zhifeng: "Guard Zhan, why are you asking this? He wouldn't jump into the river too, would he?"

"Ah, really, no wonder I haven't seen him since then!" Zhuo Zhuo waved his hands exaggeratedly: "Oh, it's a pity, he looks quite human! Of course, it must be better to protect you... ..."

Zhan Zhao smiled politely at Zhuo Zhuo: "This person didn't jump into the river. It's just that someone reported to Kaifeng Mansion that he killed Zhang Shanchu."

Although Zhan Zhao was talking with Yi Yi and Zhuo Zhuo, he was always watching Tan Zhifeng's expression.

"I knew..." Tan Zhifeng's burning voice sounded in his ear: "What should I do this time Zhifeng, Xu Gan is going to face a lawsuit! Hey! Why don't you cast a small spell to burn the portrait of Xu Gan in his arms gone?"

"Zhuo Zhuo, shut up!" Yi Yi said coldly: "They must have known Xu Yan's identity a long time ago, what's the use of burning the portrait! Don't mutter in Zhifeng's ear, look at his current look Zhan Zhao doesn't suspect him for his constipated appearance!"

Changshang looked at this for a while, then looked at that for a while: "Did I say something wrong... Zhifeng..."

Tan Zhifeng's heart was already in turmoil, the three voices plus Zhan Zhao made him a little powerless to resist.He found himself really considering Zhuo Zhuo's suggestion, thinking about whether to cast a spell on Zhan Zhao, and what's even more tragic was that his spiritual power was simply unable to complete such a complicated spell.

Besides, there seems to be a faint spiritual power lingering on Zhan Zhao's body, which may come from his righteousness, or maybe there is some special treasure on him.

Zhan Zhao looked at the people in front of him as if they were performing pantomime, glanced at each other from time to time, but didn't say a word, the suspicion in his heart turned into curiosity.He thought about it for a while, and finally opened his mouth after deliberation.

"I have already asked what I should ask." Zhan Zhao put away the second portrait without haste, and said to Tan Zhifeng: "The world is not peaceful recently, shopkeeper Tan, you should be careful when opening a shop. If there is something wrong, just ask Just send someone to Kaifeng Mansion to look for me. When I'm not around, just look for these captains and leave a message for them."

He wants a pen and paper, and writes down a few names on the paper.Then he bowed his hands politely, put on his outer robe, opened the curtain gracefully and floated away.

"Wang... Dynasty..." Shangshang had a strong thirst for knowledge, and would try to identify any word he saw.

"Dynasty Ma Han Zhang Long Zhao Hu, don't look at it, it's nothing new." Zhuo Zhuo took the paper out of Chang Chang's eyes and put it away.Suddenly he shouted again excitedly: "Ah! It turns out... finally... the ancients did not deceive me! My God! He is so good-looking, he is so good-looking! Zhifeng, do you have any way to send me to Kaifeng? go to..."

"Ah...!" Yi Yi suddenly screamed, and the other three turned their heads to look at him strangely.

"Damn Yumao ran away without paying the money! How handsome you are, what kind of uncle! I'm so mad!!!" Yi Yi threw the book and said angrily.

The door curtain was lifted, and Zhan Zhao at the door had an embarrassed smile: "...I'm really sorry, I only remembered after walking a few steps, and I haven't had time to pay the bill just now."

"Thirty Wen for the meal, and three hundred Wen for mental damage, you can give it!" Yi Yi knocked on the cashier angrily.Tan Zhifeng came out to smooth things over for the [-]st time: "Guard Zhan, don't mind, Yiyi is just joking with you. Thirty Wen is fine. You don't need to give any more money."

Zhan Zhao took out two slings of money and handed it over, somewhat unexpectedly: "Your name is Yi Yi, how about renting me a few volumes of story books?"

Seeing the copper plates, Yi Yi's expression softened slightly, he counted them, and said, "There are quite a few of these, what do you want to rent, I'll find it for you."

"It's the storybook of the owner of the Bilian Pavilion you mentioned, and the last few chapters of "The Oil Seller Repays His Father's Favor" written by the Luobashanren. There are no books for sale in the bookstore. I found several of them. did not find."

"Well, let's read it." Yi Yi moved a large stack of books to him: "These can be regarded as second-rate at best, but they are quite suitable for you."

Zhan Zhao didn't respond to Yi Yi's sarcasm, he gave him money and thanked him.He put the book in a basket and carried it away.

"Kaifeng Mansion is very busy." Zhuo Zhuo said reluctantly as he opened the curtain and looked at Zhan Zhao's back.

"He is a fourth-rank official, a national civil servant, and he gets a salary when he is idle. You can only drink the northwest wind when you are idle." Yi Yi said coldly from the side.

Zhuo Zhuo turned around angrily, and just about to make a move, Tan Zhifeng stepped between the two of them: "Stop fighting, I'll announce good news."

"What good news, your old friend is wanted by Kaifeng Mansion?" Yi Yi turned his finger on Tan Zhifeng.

"Don't talk about it. I can't confirm it's him." Tan Zhifeng interrupted Yi Yi, and turned around and said: "Besides, Xu Yan is not...Ying Long can't say it is... Uh, anyway, you have read so many books , Always pay attention to the words and sentences, Changshang is about to be taught by you."

"Shangshang, do you want to go out with me to have a look at night?" Tan Zhifeng lowered his head and took Changshang's hand before Yi Yi could refute.

"Think about it! Think about it! Brother Zhifeng, where are you taking me? Wazi of the Sang family, do you want to see Jiaodai?" Shangshang clapped her hands happily.

"Smart." Tan Zhifeng smiled and nodded: "Will you two go, if you go..."

"Ah, go! I just don't know if this iron cock, Yiyi, is willing to pluck his hair!" Zhuo Zhuo also opened his eyes wide in excitement: "Zhifeng, how do you know that I want to go to see Jiaodi? Look at this..."

As he said that, Zhuo Zhuo ran out the door, and came back from nowhere, peeling off a piece of paper. In the middle of the paper, a strong man with broad arms and round waist was drawn, which almost took up the entire piece of paper.There is also a line of words written below: "Iron Pagoda Yushan, a showdown."

Tan Zhifeng took the piece of paper, but his eyes fell on the upper left corner of the paper, where a man's straight back was drawn. Compared with the strong man in the middle of the painting, he looked very inconspicuous.He looked back, but the painter didn't draw his face, because he had a hideous mask on his face.

"I heard that if you lose, Chang Yushan will take off the mask! Everyone is going to see this!" Zhuo Zhuo said happily, but Yi Yi's words made her mood sink to the bottom: "If I didn't If I remember correctly, even the rearmost seat costs fifty cents."

Tan Zhifeng looked at the cloth bag that Yi Yi usually used to put money in. It was bulging inside, and it was stuffed with two slings of money from Cheng Zhao's rented script.

"I'll give you two days off, how about it?" Tan Zhifeng showed a friendly smile on his face: "You can have a good rest. Go shopping in the street."

Unmoved, Yi Yi continued to read with his head down.

"Three days?" Tan Zhifeng waved three fingers in front of Yi Yi unwillingly. "Four……"

"Don't think I don't know what you want to do? Tan Zhifeng, don't you know how much you own?" Yi Yi closed the book, stared at Tan Zhifeng and sighed.

Zhuo Zhuo and Chang Chang looked at the two of them nervously, Tan Zhifeng walked around the counter, sat down opposite Yi Yi, and said in a low voice, "Yi Yi, you know...I think..."

Yi Yi turned his head to look at the door, but he didn't interrupt Tan Zhifeng.Tan Zhifeng didn't care whether he listened or not, and continued: "...Only when Yinglong's soul is threatened, can I sense his existence. You have accompanied me to search around all these years, but you have found nothing. But this time, I I think this time I..."

"Okay, okay!" Yi Yi's tense face gradually relaxed.Tan Zhifeng wanted to say a few more words, but Yi Yi said: "Don't say these sympathetic words, let me ask you, has your spiritual power recovered recently?"

This serious question made Tan Zhifeng fall into deep thought. Every time he came to a new place, the spiritual power in his body would be suppressed, and he couldn't use it normally for a long time.A large part of his spiritual power comes from Ying Long's divine power. In Tan Zhifeng's memory, Ying Long once told him that as long as his divine power is still there, Tan Zhifeng's spiritual power will not disappear.

The author has something to say:

Now that the background and setting are almost explained, Lao Xuan tried his best to describe the matter clearly, but Lao Xuan is afraid that his own level is limited, and there are still some things that have not been explained well, so I will chat with you a few more words in the chat~

The main characters appearing now and their general introduction:

1. Zhifeng: Zhifeng is a flower demon (flower essence~?) transformed into a human by Yinglong's hint.He originally accompanied Yinglong to reincarnate ten times, but after the ninth reincarnation of Yinglong was accidentally interrupted, Zhifeng also lost most of his spiritual power, wandering around under the protection of the water drop pendant that Yinglong left him, Looking for the whereabouts of Yinglong.

2. Yinglong (Xu Xuan): The dragon god who has practiced for thousands of years and helped the Yellow Emperor in the battle between Yan and Huang.Because the killing was too heavy, he had to experience the suffering of being reincarnated as a human in the tenth life, but he was killed by the enemy in the ninth time and failed to enter the tenth life smoothly, and his soul now resides in the body of a mortal.After Xu Xuan suffered a serious illness not long ago, he often dreamed of some memories that did not belong to him.

3. Zhan Zhao: The fourth-rank guard with a knife in Kaifeng Mansion.Two years ago, he lost his lover in the Battle of the Sky Tower (everyone knows who it is), but he always believed that the other party was just missing.He is about to get involved in a series of strange cases, and he will soon find out that these cases are related to the Xixia Kingdom that has repeatedly invaded the border of the Song Dynasty...

4. Bo: The enemy of Zhifeng and Yinglong, the origin will be mentioned later.He was a mortal who lived a long time.Knows some evil spells, and has a two-headed yellow snake always by his side to help him.He wholeheartedly wanted to put Xu Xuan to death, and it would be best to use someone else's hands to get rid of him.He also has another dangerous identity.

5. Yiyi, Zhuozhuo, and Changshang: After being enlightened by Tan Zhifeng, they are flower demons with weak spiritual power who transform into human forms.I met Zhifeng at different times and places, and decided to accompany him to find Yinglong. (Lao Xuan has always wanted to write the story of their encounter with Zhifeng into several episodes in the future... I don’t know if there is still this opportunity.)

Changing the list today, I don't know if there will be a list... Lao Xuan can't write routines, and he can't grasp hot spots. Although his writing level should have improved a little in the past two years, there is still a big gap compared with others.Lao Xuan has already had a premonition that this article may be very cool, but Lao Xuan still hopes that there will be little angels who like it. Little angels must continue to pay attention and leave more messages for Lao Xuan!Any little encouragement from the little angels is the motivation for Lao Xuan to persevere ~ Thank you everyone
