Chapter 238: It's Hard to See an Old Friend

Gao Yuan was on the road, slowly chewing the information extorted from Feng Fayong, thinking about the Black Ice Terrace in Qin State, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in Zhao State, Yanling Guard in Yan State, in Jicheng, the capital of Yan State, A little beggar leaned on a stick, carried a tattered sack on his shoulders, and pulled a pair of cloth shoes with two or three toes on his feet. He wobbled all the way to the row of hitching posts in front of the gate of Xianyun Building. , curled up and leaned against the corner of the wall.

Compared with the Xianyun Building in Liaoxi City, the Xianyun Building in Jicheng is larger and more luxurious. It is obvious that it can not only be completed by Zhang keeping the contract, but Zhang Although Shouyue is a hero, but because of his background in Pinghan, his influence in Jicheng is really limited. Xianyunlou was able to open in Jicheng smoothly, and became the premier high-end gathering place in the capital in a very short period of time. , but because it is widely rumored in the circle of Jicheng that besides Zhang Shouyue, the backstage boss of Xianyun Tower is Ning Zecheng, one of the three giants of Yan Kingdom.

Regarding this rumor, Ning Zecheng neither admitted nor denied it, but his attitude was enough for Xianyunlou. People with high status who wanted to trouble Xianyunlou immediately after hearing the news, He shrank back, and those who wanted to make trouble but were not yet at a certain level and couldn't know some inside information still wanted to do it, and they were immediately retaliated against by force, so they realized that some of the rumors were not fake.

Ning Zecheng is the imperial censor, in charge of supervising the officials, but what is even more frightening is the other power he holds in his hand, the Yan Lingwei of Yan State.

Xianyunlou in Jicheng has inherited the consistent style of Xianyunlou in western Liaoning. Everything is the best. Of course, everything is also the most expensive. Especially the wine he sells is unique, and it is different from Xianyun in western Liaoning. Compared with other buildings, the wine in Xianyunlou in Jicheng is not better than that in Liaoxi, but the packaging is several grades higher than that in Liaoxi. Porcelain is worth two taels of silver.

Xianyun Building stood at the top of the entertainment industry in Jicheng at the fastest speed.

The little beggar leaned against the wall, squinted his eyes and looked at the few pedestrians on the street. It was still very early, and the sun had just peeked out from a distance, shining warmly on his body, making him feel itchy. of.

Perhaps the little beggar was too young and looked too pitiful. None of the guards at the gate of Xianyun Tower thought of driving away this stain that seemed to be equally luxuriously decorated outside the gate of Xianyun Tower. , and even showed a few sympathetic eyes.

Anyway, it's morning now, and there will be no guests in Xianyun Building. It will slowly become lively after noon, and the real bustling will come after nightfall. He is willing to lie here and bask in the sun Let’s talk about it, but this is not a good place for begging. Anyone who has money to come here for entertainment or business is either rich or powerful. There are a lot of guards in front of and behind him. If you want to ask them for money, then Basically, there is no hope, and it is impossible for you to get past those fierce and fierce guards.

There are really few people on this street, the little beggar looked at it for a while, and then the hundred man closed his eyes, as if he was dozing off. Of course he did not fall asleep. This trip came to Jicheng after traveling thousands of miles. In order to complete an extremely important task. He is none other than Cao Tianci who should have stayed in the camp on Niulan Mountain in Fufeng.

The purpose of his trip is to contact Zhang Yi of Xianyun Building in Jicheng, Gao Yuan's former housekeeper.

Cao Tianci rushed all the way to Jicheng. Although he is only fourteen years old now, he is more mature and careful than most adults. Zhang Yi, instead started from the periphery, and first inquired about Zhang Yi's news. After more than ten days, although there were bits and pieces of peripheral news, Cao Tianci still came to a conclusion.

Zhang Yi is no longer the old Fufeng Zhang Yi who always smiles when he sees everyone. In other words, he is no longer the former Wu Xia Ameng.

Appreciated by Zhang Junbao, the eldest son of Liaoxi, Zhang Yiyue became the treasurer of Xianyunlou in Jicheng. Although he is not the most powerful one in Xianyunlou in Jicheng now, but here, using the resources of Xianyunlou, he has indeed become a leader. Zhang Yi is already a very important figure in the circle of nobles in Jicheng.

This made Cao Tianci doubtful. Is the current Zhang Yi still the same Zhang Yi from Fufeng? He is making friends now, and the people he knows are all those high-ranking big shots. It's really hard to say. Will he still be loyal to the county lieutenant? Or, how much of his loyalty is left?

With this in mind, Cao Tianci was not in a hurry to meet Zhang Yi. Now that Jicheng had settled down and everything was well arranged, he disguised himself as a little beggar and waited for an opportunity to get close to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi did not have another home in Jicheng, and has always lived with his wife in Xianyun Building, rarely going out, and once he came out, there must be many guards accompanying him, Cao Tianci wanted to see Zhang Yi, but It is extremely difficult, and a person like him, no matter how he disguises himself, is not qualified to step into Xianyun Tower in Jicheng.

In desperation, Cao Tianci had no choice but to pretend to be a little beggar and stand guard in front of the Xianyun Building, to see if he could get lucky and contact Zhang Yi.

After wandering around Xianyun Building for several days, Cao Tianci finally gritted his teeth and arrived in front of the gate of Xianyun Building. According to his thinking, those guards must come to drive him away immediately, but he has to try The last time I tried it, it seemed that I was lucky today. The guys guarding the gate were obviously much kinder than the previous few days. After taking a look at myself, they didn't drive me away like sweeping garbage.

This is a good omen. Cao Tianci thought to himself.

Thinking of the sound of footsteps in the direction of the gate, Cao Tianci's eyes opened a slit, and when he saw a few people walking out of the gate, his eyes lit up.

Those are several women, the first one, who is not that Cuihua with big breasts and big buttocks? But the Cuihua in front of her is obviously not on the same level as Fufeng, dressed in silk clothes, wearing gold ornaments on her head, and behind her are two suitcases. The little maid with the food box.

"Madam shopkeeper, are you going out?" The guards at the door all greeted.

"Yes, go to Jingci Nunnery to fulfill my vows. When I first came to Jicheng, I went there to make a vow. I have to go and fulfill my vows today, otherwise the Bodhisattva will blame me, it will be terrible!" Cuihua said with a smile. The happy event is refreshing, and now Cuihua is happy every day. Two years ago, she was a little girl, but now, she is the shopkeeper's lady who is respected and worshiped in the capital of Dayan.

And all of this stems from the gift of Gao Xianwei. If Gao Yuan hadn't taken the two of them from Lu Hong, burned their deeds of prostitution, and then arranged step by step, this would have allowed them to have today's success. Achievement.

Many people think that Cuihua's going to Jingci Temple to make a wish and repay her wish is nothing more than the business of women and mothers. In fact, Cuihua only has one thing to do there, and that is to pray to the Bodhisattva to bless the Gao County Captain to live a long life and to be promoted every step of the way.

Zhang Yi and Cuihua are very popular in Xianyun Building. Whether they are kabuki musicians, gatekeepers, or cooks, they are all very kind to each other. This is also due to their own backgrounds. It is not easy to ask for a meal. It is precisely because of this that these people respect the two of them very much. After all, a shopkeeper like Zhang Yi is no better than the shopkeepers of those restaurants and restaurants on the street. The two can be said to be one One in the sky and one in the ground.

Seeing Cuihua walk out of the gate, Cao Tianci's eyes lit up, he stood up from the ground with a stick, and ran towards Cuihua and his party at a trot, but he yelled: "Madam Fafa Kindness, let's enjoy it!"

Seeing the little beggar who had been keeping himself safe before suddenly ran straight towards the shopkeeper's wife, several gatekeepers panicked, rushed forward, stopped Cao Tianci, and stretched out their hands to push Cao Tianci down.

Cao Tianci only yelled twice, and was knocked to the ground by these guys. Those who pressed their hands pressed their hands, those who pressed their feet pressed their feet, and those who covered their mouths covered their mouths. Cao Tianci did not dare to fight back, although these big men were tall Big ones, but if they really wanted to fight, Cao Tianci could kill them in two or three hits. Fighting and killing people are completely different things.

Although she only yelled twice, Cuihua, who was walking forward with her back to Cao Tianci, stopped as if she had been electrocuted. Huo Di turned around, because Cao Tianci's pure Fufeng accent just now shocked her. caught.

"Let go of him!" Cuihua trotted to the front of several people twisted together, and shouted loudly.

"The shopkeeper's lady, he's just a beggar, let's throw him away right away!" A guard said with a smile.

Cuihua waved her hand, "Let him go, poor boy, don't crush him for such a villain, let him go quickly."

The guards got up awkwardly, and let Cao Tianci go. They covered Cao Tianci's mouth earlier, half of his face was covered, and it was dirty and black. At this time, the hand covering his mouth was released. His entire face was exposed in front of Cuihua.

Cuihua stayed there in an instant, she knew him, isn't this Cao Tianci, the little follower next to the county captain, Cao Tiancheng's son. How did Cao Tianci come here, what happened to the county captain What? Cuihua's body couldn't help shaking.

"Ma'am, please enjoy your stuttering, I haven't eaten for three days, I'm almost starving to death!" Cao Tianci looked at the other party, stretched out his dirty hand, and cried pitifully.

Cuihua took a deep breath and waved her hand, "Bring that food box!"

The maid behind her was taken aback, "Lady, this is to worship the Bodhisattva."

"Don't you guys know how to go back and get another one?" Cuihua became angry immediately, turned around and grabbed the food box from the girl's hand, opened it, and put it in front of Cao Tianci.

The two maids turned around and went into the courtyard to prepare food boxes. There was nothing they could do. The lady in charge had always been a kind person, and the guards all retreated to the door. Seeing the delicious little beggar, they were all envious. This was made by the master chefs in the Xianyun Tower, don't look at these three or five plates, they are worth tens of taels of silver, and they were actually eaten by a little beggar.

Cuihua squatted in front of Cao Tianci, wanting to say something, but Cao Tianci gave him a wink, and said a place name in a very low voice while eating the offerings that were supposed to be given to the Bodhisattva in the box. Nodding knowingly. (To be continued.
