Chapter 64: First Meeting with Chu Hanlan
When Yun Changan and the other man arrived, the middle-aged man had already started fighting with several three-headed wolves. One of the wolves bit the middle-aged man's forearm, and blood gushed out instantly.
Under the extreme tearing, the middle-aged man broke his forearm, turned pale in an instant, and fell backwards, and most of the bodyguards around him were also injured.
Seeing this, Yun Changan and the other two also raised their swords and attacked. In just a moment, the formation of the three wolves was disrupted, and the leader was killed by Yun Changan's sword and did not survive for a few breaths.
Seeing that their leader was dead, the three wolves no longer hesitated, and scattered in all directions, disappearing in an instant.
After driving away the wolves, the two of them checked the injuries of the group of people and gave them simple treatment and bandages to stop the bleeding.
Not long after, a woman got off the carriage in the center. She was not very old, probably only in her teens. She had a pair of bright and clear eyes, slightly curved eyebrows, and very long eyelashes. Two lines of clear tears hung on her flawless face. She got off the carriage with a panicked look on her face, her legs trembling slightly.
After she got off the carriage, she said to Yun Changan and the others, "Thank you, young knight, for saving me. If I hadn't met you two today, I would have been killed by these weird wolves."
Seeing this, Yun Chang'an and Chu Xiaoxiao responded to the woman's thanks. They learned from her that her name was Han Lan, and she was the ninth child in the family. Today, she was ordered by her fifth brother to escort a batch of goods from Shouzhou City back to Chuwang City.
However, they were ambushed on the way here, and Yun Changan and his companions happened to come here and rescued them.
Yun Chang'an looked at Han Lan in front of him, and inexplicably felt that there was a similarity between her and Chu Xiaoxiao.
"I wonder what I should address you two young men?"
Seeing that the two were silent, Han Lan started asking the two saviors in order to break the awkward atmosphere.
"My name is Xiaoxiao, and this is my younger brother Changan. We are also going to visit relatives in Chuwang City."
Yun Chang'an was looking at the corpses of the three wolves at this time. The aura they exuded made him extremely disgusted, and he even had a sense of déjà vu. However, he could not figure out where he had seen this aura before.
After a long time, when they saw that there was no danger around, Yun Changan and the other two got up and were about to leave.
When the two of them stood up, Han Lan saw that they wanted to leave, so he tried to keep them. This place was only ten days away from Chuwang City, and there were many ferocious beasts and monsters in the forest. Most of them were already injured and had no fighting power. If they met the three wolves here, they would probably have no chance of survival.
So, Yun Changan and Chu Xiaoxiao were hesitant. Seeing this, Han Lan thought they wanted some money and property, so he said, "If the two young heroes are willing to accompany us and protect our safety, we will definitely reward you handsomely when we arrive in Chuwang City."
Yun Chang'an and the other man were not people who needed money, so they did not agree to her request.
Seeing that the two did not agree, Han Lan intensified his request and promised that he would give them more money and property when they arrived in Chuwang City.
"My brother and I are not greedy for money, but you will run into a lot of trouble if you travel with the two of us."
"Don't worry, Miss Xiaoxiao will be fine as long as she can guarantee our safety."
So the two of them stopped refusing and stayed, and asked her to prepare a carriage for Yun Changan and Chu Xiaoxiao to drive.
After resting for a while, the convoy started to drive towards Chuwang City.
On the way, Han Lan came to Yun Changan's carriage and knocked on the side window of the carriage.
Yun Chang'an opened the curtain and found Han Lan. He asked what happened. After finding out that nothing had happened and just wanted to get in the car to chat, he invited her to sit up.
Inside the car, three people looked at each other, not knowing how to start the conversation. Two of the three were women, which made Yun Changan, who was sitting in the middle, feel a little uncomfortable.
He had never stayed with a strange woman in a small space before.
At this time, Han Lan also felt a little awkward in the atmosphere. She blushed and spoke first, thanking the two of them again.
The two also asked Han Lan about things happening in the Chu Dynasty. Han Lan told them about her family background and learned that her fifth brother had a good business sense and his businesses were spread all over the city, including several iron mines, stone mines and jade mines outside the city, and cloth, restaurants, and wineries in the city.
They are involved in everything that can be seen in the royal city. They are extremely wealthy, rich enough to rival a country.
These properties all belong to her fifth brother, but when she talks about them, she still feels a sense of pride.
Seeing that the two men had calm expressions and did not show any other expressions at all because of what she said, she knew that these two people were not ordinary people.
Afterwards, he enthusiastically introduced the affairs of the Chu Dynasty. There was a restaurant in the west of the city where people in the city liked to gather to chat and eat. The food was also among the best in the royal city. After hearing these words, the two's eyes lit up. If they wanted to obtain some information, that was a good place to go.
Yun Chang'an hurriedly asked the name of the restaurant. Seeing that he asked so urgently, he felt that Chang'an was very interested in food, so he told them the name of the restaurant.
Youran Restaurant is located in a remote place in the west of the city, facing Wangcheng Lake. Diners can eat and chat while enjoying the scenery of the lake.
The two of them secretly took note of the restaurant and decided to go there after entering the city.
After talking about food, Yun Changan gradually opened up and discussed with Han Lan about ingredients and cooking methods. Han Lan was also a foodie and would go out to various restaurants to try every dish when she had nothing to do.
After that, I will give a score to each restaurant and each dish. If the food in a restaurant is really not delicious, I will put a big cross in my mind for that restaurant, indicating that I will never go there again.
Han Lan knew all the restaurants in the royal city, big and small. He once ate in no less than five restaurants in one day. He was late for returning home because of this and was scolded by his mother for a long time. He was also confined to his home for half a month and was not allowed to go out.
Because of this, she was distressed for a long time and blamed her mother for not understanding her and not talking to her for a month.
She suggested to Yun Chang'an and the others that if they wanted to eat delicious food, besides the Youran Restaurant, there were several other restaurants with very fresh ingredients. She also told them the names of several restaurants and hotels.
Among them, Zuixianlou was a restaurant she highly recommended. It was a place for drinking, and the Zuixian wine there was only available in Zuixianlou in the royal city and could not be drunk anywhere else.
The Drunken Immortal Wine is brewed exclusively by the restaurant owner and will only be sold in the restaurant and will not be sold outside.
Therefore, if one wants to drink that pot of Zuixian wine, one must go to Zuixian Tower. However, the consumption there is very high. Usually, dignitaries and wealthy merchants go there more often, while those peddlers just smell the aroma of wine outside the tower.
There is a saying circulating among peddlers and merchants: If you can have a sip of the Immortal Wine before you die, you won't be lonely on the road to the underworld.
