Mrs. Yazhai of the King of the Mountain

However, Ling Shen followed Meng Chunhe into the city, and only now did he know that there are many shops in the city under the name of Qingfengzhai, such as granaries, restaurants, inns, escort agencies... I guess as long as they don't have anything to do with criminals Yes, this Qingfengzhai is probably involved.This was beyond Ling Shen's expectation. Originally, he only thought that Qingfeng Village was an ordinary cottage, but he didn't expect that this cottage would not rob houses, but would even start a business. However, Shen Qi hadn't heard of it before, so he seemed to be taken aback by this. The industry that comes out is a little curious.

After entering the city, the two first went to a rice warehouse in the east of the city. This rice warehouse seemed to belong to Qingfeng Village, but Ling Shen looked around for a while, from the name of the store to the decoration, but he couldn't find anything related to Qingfeng Village. Any resemblance.It was the shopkeeper of the rice storehouse, who greeted the gentleman very warmly when he saw him, and said hello to Ling Shen politely during the period, and then invited the two of them into the inner room while exchanging greetings with the gentleman.

After sitting down, the shopkeeper cupped his hands and asked straight to the point: "Is there anything you want to order this time, sir?"

Meng Chunhe didn't seem to shy away from Ling Shen, who was beside him, and said directly: "In five days, it will be the [-]nd of September. Remember to ask the Dinger Escort to go to the foot of Qingfeng Mountain and escort two carts of food back."

The shopkeeper responded, and asked again: "Is there anything else to order?"

Meng Chun and Hang Mou thought for a while, Xu Shi finally remembered that there was someone around him, raised his hand and introduced: "Well, then you have to remember, this is the head of the family, Ling surname, it is inconvenient to call him like that outside, then Just call 'Young Master Ling' or 'Young Master Ling'." After the introduction, they approached Ling Shen across the desk and said, "This is the shopkeeper of the rice storehouse of Yu's family. He is responsible for all the food sales, I will tell you the details when I go back."

Ling Shen didn't expect this to happen at all, and looked at the shopkeeper with his eyelids slightly raised.Just after Yu Yi gave him his hands, he peeked at him. He felt a guilty conscience of being caught peeping at him, and hurriedly lowered his head, thinking in his heart that the leader of the family seemed to be incapable. It's so annoying, although it looks beautiful, it's not a vase, and the eyes look very shrewd.

He managed to calm down, then raised his head and said with a smile: "I've heard about this too, I didn't expect him to be such a handsome man." Then he turned his head and shouted respectfully as Mr. said: " Ling Shao."

What Ling Shen dislikes the most in traveling so far is the immodest etiquette in this place. If it is according to the book, he must be humble at this time and ask for more advice, but he has always been used to it, so he simply does not perfunctory , A simple and clear "um" is regarded as a greeting.

Yu Yi smiled, but he didn't say anything, but he felt that this person was extremely arrogant, and he didn't know if he had the same ability as his arrogance, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to live up to the title of "big master", and he would Not good enough for them to be in charge.

The two didn't stay in the rice barn for too long. After explaining what needed to be explained, Meng Chunhe took Ling Shen out of the rice barn.

Once on the street, taking advantage of the crowds around, Ling Shen asked in a low voice: "Sir, I have a question to ask you."

Meng Chunhe held the horse with one hand, and looked at the people around him suspiciously: "You ask."

"Then I asked, how many people in the village know the property in this city?" This question has been brewing in Ling Shen's mind for a long time. He has been thinking about this question since he entered the city and heard about it until he heard what the shopkeeper said. "I've heard a little bit about it", and this confirmed my guess - I'm afraid that no one in the village, except those who are in charge, knows that many of the shops in Qianhe City belong to Qingfeng Village, and even the people in the city are probably in the dark. in the drum.

"The head of the house, me, and Zhao Yunzhou." Meng Chunhe raised his hand, "Now there is one more you."

Ling Shen raised his eyebrows, as expected, as for this Zhao Yunzhou, he should be the Manager Zhao that Shen Qi was talking about.But Ling Shen was still surprised, and asked again: "Why did you tell me this?"

"Naturally because you are the head of the family." Meng Chunhe's answer was taken for granted, as if all eggs were laid by chickens, it was extremely domineering.

Ling Shen blinked, for a moment he couldn't laugh or cry, and he didn't know whether to say that this person trusted others too easily, or he was too forgiving.But Mr.'s answer did make him feel comfortable. He thought that others would treat him as an outsider, even if he had the name of a big boss. Anyway, it was just their verbal shouting, but he didn't want to This person really regarded him as his own, and even told him such a secret.

Ling Shen has always been regarded as your own, so he must regard you as a brother, but there is no need to talk about this kind of thing.He didn't say anything at the moment, and followed Meng Chunhe into a restaurant.

It was noon at this time, and there were a lot of people in the restaurant, all of which were passing caravans and some travelers.And because it was the first city to enter the customs, there were many people from outside the customs, and the words mixed with local dialects were scattered in the lobby, making it extremely chaotic.However, as soon as the two of them entered, the original vegetable market-like atmosphere froze in an instant. Ling Shen walked beside Meng Chunhe, only to feel that everyone's eyes seemed to be focused on him. In the past, quite a few surprised or probing gazes were forced back, leaving only one or two who were not afraid, but looked at him with more interest.

The little Eryi who was busy seeing Meng Chunhe smiled and hurriedly walked forward: "Why are you here, sir?" Just after asking, he glanced to the side and said with a smile, "Oh, this must be the one in the rumors I don't know what to call the one from here?"

Ling Shen glanced at him: "The surname is Ling."

"Master Ling."

Ling Shen nodded.

Meng Chunhe thought there were too many people in the lobby, so he quickly asked Xiaoer to take them to the second floor.There were wing rooms and a lobby on the second floor, but unfortunately the wing rooms were full at the moment, and Meng Chunhe didn't make an appointment in advance, so the two finally chose a seat by the window.After the food was served, Meng Chunhe hurriedly finished it, leaving Ling Shen alone for a while.What are you going to do?He only said that he would go to the cloth shop and have some winter clothes rushed to be made.After the fall on this mountain, the temperature difference between day and night is even greater. It is fine during the day, but it will be a bit freezing at night and in the morning.

Ling Shen didn't understand this very well, since Meng Chunhe didn't let him go with him, he was happy to drink here.After drinking a cup of burning knife, his originally still head became active instead. This restaurant should also belong to Qingfengzhai, but the shopkeeper here is not like Yu Yi. After saying "Sir", the shopkeeper followed up and called "Sir", but there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, not as clear as the little girl.In addition, those who served the dishes were all tall and big, with strong muscles in their hands and legs, and they did not look like ordinary migrant workers at all. The most suspicious thing was that there were layers of calluses on their tiger's mouth.

Ling Shen carefully sorted out these clues, and immediately called the waiter and asked, "The shopkeeper is not one of us?"

The Xiao Er was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Ling Shen with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but it soon became clearer.With a smile on his face again, he replied: "Young Master Ling, there are some things we can't say." Then he emphasized it again, "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I can't say it."

Ling Shen had already found the answer he wanted, and waved him away regardless of what he said.And he was leaning on the window sill, looking at the sky outside the window. The sky facing north has always been high and deep, but he was a bit like the head of the village. With a sense of alienation.

Ling Shen felt that he couldn't understand him, even though his beard covered his face so that he couldn't see his expression clearly, it was not all.This person hides too deeply, just like his pair of eyes that are almost bottomless, like a deep pool, even if you jump into it, you won't be able to see to the bottom.Sometimes, he even has the urge to shave off his obstructive beard, and then take a peek.

Meng Chunhe went out for a while, Ling Shen saw that he hadn't returned, so he put down his glass and stood up.When he stood up, he happened to catch a glimpse of Qi Jiu who was walking into the restaurant. This person was dressed in a bright red dress, followed by a man dressed as a servant, striding into the gate, which was very inconsistent with the behavior of that idiot just now.

Although Ling Shen wasn't afraid of this person, he found it troublesome after all, so he simply found a hidden place to stand for a while.He was standing in a very convenient position, Qi Jiu couldn't see him when he came up from the downstairs, but he could see all his behavior, even when he entered the wing, he could catch a glimpse of the person sitting there.He is a handsome man, different from Qi Jiu's incisive and profound facial features. He has a high nose, but there is a Jiangnan charm in his eyebrows and eyes.

It just so happened that Xiaoer saw Ling Shen standing behind the pillar alone after seeing off the guests, and hurried forward: "Young Master Ling, why are you standing here?"

"Do you know the two people here?" Ling Shen pointed to the wing room where Qi Jiu was.

Xiao Er recalled it for a while and said: "The guest officer who booked the wing room was surnamed 'Gui', he seemed to be a businessman, and he wandered around the Guan area here. As for the one who just came, he didn't know him. Like a Daxia person."

Ling Shen did know about this Great Xia, the northernmost point of Nanliang was the Zhenbei Pass, and after leaving this pass, going further north was Xia Guo.

Qi Jiu was sitting in the wing room at this time, turning his head to look out the window, but happened to see the moon god in his mind.He couldn't sit still right now, but before he could stand up, Gui Yizhuo, who was sitting opposite him, took a sip of his wine, glanced sideways at the people walking on the street, and said, "Is he the reason why you are lying at the gate of the city?"

Qi Jiu glared at him: "You have too much eyeliner." Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped moving, and said solemnly, "Why did you let that guy named Zhao into the capital? If it wasn't for him some time ago I went all out to investigate someone, and I didn't even know he was on our territory."

Gui Yizhuo raised his eyes and glanced at him faintly: "You have to pay back what you owe to others, so don't touch him, nothing will happen to you."

Qi Jiu didn't seem to give up, and asked again: "Then who is he going to investigate?"

Gui Yizhuo picked up the wine glass and briefly said three words: "Does not exist."

Qi Jiu: "..."
