Plum Blossoms

The waiter in the tea shed had just served the sauced beef and steamed buns to the guests at the table when he heard the clatter of horseshoes outside.He rushed out to greet him, yelling: "Several guest officials please."

Two men and one woman got off the horse, and Xiaoer called Old Dong to come over and lead the horse away, while warmly befriending him: "Guest officer, don't worry, the forage and water in our store are excellent, and we can't treat the horse badly." Perhaps it was Too many people have warned him before that he has learned to report good news to the guests before they speak.

The young man at the front smiled and said kindly, "Serve some side dishes and a pot of tea." He said, and asked his companion, "Would you like a drink?"

The young man in yellow shook his head: "I still have to hurry, forget about the wine."

"That's all."

This kind of customer who looks good-tempered is the most favored by Xiaoer.You must know that if you meet those irascible Jianghu people, you will be scolded at least, or smashed and make trouble at worst. They are running a small business, and they really can't stand the toss.

Xiaoer took them to the innermost seat of the tea shed, served tea and went down.Before leaving, he glanced curiously at the last woman who didn't say a word from beginning to end.

The woman was wearing a veiled hat, and he couldn't see her face clearly.

This is Lu Xiaofeng and the three of them.

"We can enter the city in less than half a day." Lu Xiaofeng said to Huamanlou and Wang Zhaojun, and You Qi asked Wang Zhaojun again: "Have you decided to ask Dazhi Datong any questions?"

Wang Zhaojun said flatly: "I just need to ask them how I can go back."

Lu Xiaofeng curled his lips: "You really can think about it."

He was very upset.Know that when you come across a magical and interesting mystery, you can't help but ask what it's all about.Those mysterious people and things in King's Canyon aroused Lu Xiaofeng's interest, but the person involved recovered his calm early, and he refused to reveal anything no matter how hard he asked.

After a while, he couldn't help but said again: "If you find the way back to the Canyon of Kings, can I accompany you as a guest?"

He really wanted to see who dared to name Nuwa Houyi, Wu Zetian won the government.

Wang Zhaojun didn't speak, but Lu Xiaofeng could feel that her eyes hidden behind the veil were looking at him.He said frankly: "Why, can't it?"

"Why should I have you as a guest?" she asked.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled heartily: "Since you are Huamanlou's friend, you are also my friend. Isn't it normal for friends to visit each other as guests?"

Wang Zhaojun ignored him, and instead turned to Huamanlou: "Am I your friend?"

Huamanlou was about to pour tea, when he heard this, he smiled and said, "Miss Wang, if you want to be Huamanlou's friend, then that is my friend."

Wang Zhaojun hummed, took the teapot in his hand, and poured tea silently.Hua Manlou came to his senses and smiled again.Say thanks.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at them speechlessly.

The city they came to was quite lively, and the streets were full of pedestrians.It was already dark at this time, and the three of them first found an inn.Lu Xiaofeng asked the shop waiter to bring hot water and food to Wang Zhaojun's room later, and then said to Wang Zhaojun: "You stay in the shop to rest, Hua Manlou and I will find someone who can contact Dazhi Datong."

Wang Zhaojun was puzzled: "Why can't I go together?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled ambiguously: "A place like Chunfang Pavilion is not something that a girl like you can enter casually."

Chunfang Pavilion is a brothel in the city.

The person Lu Xiaofeng was looking for claimed to be Master Sun, who had been eating, drinking, whoring and gambling since he was a child, and was free and unrestrained. He had never done a serious thing in his life, and he had no other skills.But just one skill is enough for him to spend half his life at ease—except for him, no one can find great wisdom and great wisdom!

So he has fun all day long and spends money like water.When he ran out of money to pay the bill, he staked himself there, waiting for someone else to redeem him.As long as someone wants to ask Dazhi Datong about something, he must take out money and redeem him.

The unlucky ones this time were none other than Lu Xiaofeng and the others.

Master Sun was so drunk that he couldn't even open his eyes.Hua Manlou walked over and asked, "What should I do, take him back to the inn?"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Master Sun with disgust, feeling that the vomit on his body really hurt his eyes.Hearing what Hua Manlou said, he vetoed it without hesitation: "No, this is too dirty."

Hua Manlou found it very funny.

Lu Xiaofeng thought for a while and said: "Go back by yourself first, I will stay in Chunfang Pavilion for one night, when the old man wakes up tomorrow and pack up, we will meet at the entrance of the inn."

Huamanlou agreed.

He couldn't see the women's delicate bodies, but he could hear their seductive calls, as well as the scent of fragrance when they moved close to him.Unmoved, he walked leisurely and walked out of Chunfang Pavilion.

The inn was still open, and the younger brother asked him if he needed food.Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng had already had dinner with Master Sun at Chunfang Pavilion before, so they just asked the second brother to bring water for bathing later.

The waiter took him to the door of the room.Hua Manlou didn't go in, but went to the next door and listened with bated breath.

It was very quiet inside, and there was no movement.

Hua Manlou raised his hand and knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Sure enough, Wang Zhaojun was not there.

Hua Manlou hurried downstairs.At this time, the second elder brother was not in the hall, and the accountant saw his hurried steps and looked serious, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the guest?"

Hua Manlou asked him, "Where did the girl I was with before go?"

The accountant breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you asking that girl with white hair? I saw her sitting in the back yard just now."

The yard of this inn is not small, neat and clean.As soon as Huamanlou stepped into the courtyard, he heard Wang Zhaojun calling him, "Are you back?"

Even though the accountant had said that she was here, Hua Manlou was really relieved after hearing her voice.He followed the sound and walked over: "Well, brother Lu has something to do, and I'm the only one coming back. Why doesn't Miss Wang rest?"

Wang Zhaojun said softly, "I can't sleep."

Her very soft voice made it easy for people to read the emotions in it, not to mention that Hua Manlou was blind with exceptionally good ears.

He gently relieved: "Don't worry, just wait until tomorrow, we can see Dazhi Datong tomorrow."

Wang Zhaojun smiled a little when he heard what they said about this person who was very capable and could be said to be omniscient.She looked at Huamanlou: "The scenery in this courtyard is very good."

Hua Manlou smiled slightly, pointed to his front left and said, "Are there some hibiscus planted there?"

Wang Zhaojun was deeply surprised: "Exactly."

The shopkeeper of this inn must be quite interesting, the courtyard is very elegantly arranged - a specially dug clear pool, the pool is built into a gourd shape, and the pool is covered with various cobblestones; bamboo is planted in the southeast corner, and near the main There is a big banyan tree next to the building, and Wang Zhaojun and the others are sitting at the stone table under the vine not far from the banyan tree.In addition, various flowers and plants are scattered in the garden. Although the types are not as good as the Baihualou, which is full of flowers, the flowers are full of flowers and in various forms.

Hua Manlou seemed to know her surprise, and said, "There should be quite a few roses by the wall."

The roses in the inn should have been grown for many years, with luxuriant flowers and leaves, covering half of the wall.

"Dense leaves and green curtains are heavy, and flowers are red and brocade." Hua Manlou chanted, "It must be a very gorgeous and prosperous scene."

Wang Zhaojun sized him up and said slowly, "I really hope you can see it with your own eyes." After that, she didn't wait for Hua Manlou to answer, and said again: "Hua Manlou, do you like plum blossoms?"

Hua Manlou nodded slightly: "Plum blossoms are persevering and noble, with a subtle fragrance, so I naturally like them."

Wang Zhaojun: "I also like plum blossoms."

"That's why Miss Wang carries a sachet of plum blossoms? It smells really good."

Wang Zhaojun's expression was suddenly a little strange, but Huamanlou couldn't see it.She was silent for a moment before saying, "I don't carry a sachet with me."

The atmosphere was a bit delicate for a while, Hua Manlou turned sideways slightly, and said embarrassedly: "I offended you."

Wang Zhaojun didn't care, looked at the night sky and said: "I used to like plum blossoms the most. In the past, there was a plum garden not far from where I lived. After the frost, the flowers of the whole plum forest were in full bloom, just like Tianshan Mountain. It’s as white as snow, which is lovely. If it’s really snowing, the snowflakes on the branches and the white plums are integrated, and there is only a piece of plain white, which almost makes people feel that it is not a world.”

Hua Manlou: "When we find Dazhi Datong and ask about the location of the Canyon of Kings, Miss Wang will naturally see her favorite Meilin again."

Wang Zhaojun said sadly: "Impossible, I will never see you again." She smiled wryly: "That was the past too long ago. Even if I go back smoothly, only the grasslands of Beiyi and the sea of ​​​​winter are waiting for me." The snow and ice. I will never see that plum grove again; I will never go back to that hometown.”

Wang Zhaojun did not disclose her life experience to that concubine Ming to Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng.After discovering the inextricable relationship between the many heroes of the King's Land and those "ancients", Wang Zhaojun thought for a long time, and finally decided not to disclose any more information about the King's Land.

Subconsciously, she felt that this was the best for both her and them.

Hua Manlou could vaguely piece together some of her life experience from her words, even if it wasn't specific enough, at least he could tell that the Canyon of Kings probably wasn't her real hometown.

It was so complicated and miserable.

It's just... where is Beiyi?

Early the next morning, when Lu Xiaofeng and Elder Sun, who was full of reluctance, came to the inn, Hua Manlou and the two were having dinner.

Today Wang Zhaojun did not wear a bamboo hat.Although her appearance is different, she has a natural appearance and a good temperament. Eight out of ten customers in the store are secretly looking at her.It's just that her own attitude is flat, and even if Hua Manlou senses the gaze of others, she doesn't care.In contrast, the two people who were watched became the calmest in the whole hall.

Lu Xiaofeng felt that for such a low-key person, maybe he should find another table.With this thought in his mind, he rubbed his nose and walked over with a smile: "I don't even know to wait for someone, Hua Manlou, you are not interesting enough, very uninteresting."

Wang Zhaojun glanced past him, landed on Master Sun behind him, and asked, "Is this the person who can contact Dazhi Datong?"

Lu Xiaofeng just picked up the bun and took a bite, nodded and swallowed, and then said: "That's right." When Wang Zhaojun got the answer, he was no longer curious.

None of them noticed that this thin and small old man with a big head was looking at them calmly.

To be precise, it was her.

The author has something to say: As we all know, Mr. Sun is a master of great wisdom.
