The road of the king, the minister and the husband

As the name suggests, Xiashan Peak is surrounded by rolling mountains, the largest city in the south. This is the place that martial arts people yearn for, and there are many strongholds of various sects in the city.

"There are a lot of people here." Lifting the curtain of the carriage, Xiao Yiran raised his eyebrows watching the flow of people coming and going.

Shadow Mist, who was driving, looked around and nodded.

"This is the largest gathering place of merchants in the south. If I remember correctly, the annual tax here accounts for more than one-third of the national treasury." He shrugged, turned his head to look at Xiao Yiran and motioned him to look at the person next to him. Restaurant.

"The biggest restaurant in the city is the property of the master." No matter how you hear that tone, there is pride.

Xiao Yiran raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, squinted his eyes and looked over, froze for a moment, lowered his head to look at the jade pendant hanging on his belt, pursed his lips and chuckled.

"This is my property." Shaking the jade pendant in his hand, he showed it to Ying Wu, showing off.

Shadow Wu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, little master, this city is huge, and it will take some time before we get to the house."

"My lord, have you already arrived in the city? The servants saw that there were a lot more people than before, and they were all armed with knives." Xiao Qingzi leaned over to have a look, curled his lips and retracted.

"Heh, it's not just with a knife and a sword, I've seen people who use poison." Xiao Yiran sneered, and glanced at the fence on the second floor of a restaurant that the carriage passed by. Shaking black and green, tsk tsk, is the poison in this body trying to poison people to death or to poison yourself?Isn't he afraid that someone will get into a lawsuit if he is poisoned to death?

"Stop, let's have lunch before going back." Xiao Yiran reached out and patted Yingwu's shoulder and pointed to the double-storey restaurant next to it, which was very lively with people coming and going.

Yingwu looked at him with a wry smile, when he passed by his own restaurant just now, he had to go to other places to join in the fun, the little master really has spare money.

"Guest officers please, all three please go upstairs~" Qianliju's waiter waiter shouted when he saw Xiao Yiran and the three of them, bowed his waist and led them upstairs.

Xiao Qingzi was startled by his voice, but he still walked beside Xiao Yiran, thought for a while and pulled down Xiao Yiran's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "My lord, everyone here is looking at us."

"You are so white and tender that you are not the same as rough men like them. I carefully kidnapped you and sold you." Xiao Yiran turned to look at him with a smile, and was even more happy to see Xiao Qingzi pouted dissatisfiedly.

Why are you so dumb, the three of you are all outsiders no matter how you look at it, it's normal for newcomers to be noticed.

"Guest officer, what do you eat? This restaurant does not say that it has everything, but it is almost the same. As long as you can tell, this restaurant will satisfy you." The waiter greeted enthusiastically, looking at Xiao Yiran's face full of flattery smile.

Xiao Yiran shrugged, he didn't care, he would be full after a few mouthfuls of anything.

Xiaoqingzi reported the name of the dish, and it was okay. The dishes in the north can also be prepared in the southern restaurant, but the taste will definitely be a little different.

"This store has excellent bamboo leaf greens, don't you want to try them?"

"Do not……"

"Well, let's have a pot." Xiao Yiran interrupted Xiao Qingzi, nodded to the waiter and threw a piece of silver to him, then turned and looked outside the fence of the restaurant.

"My lord, my master won't let you drink." He frowned when he saw the waiter leaving happily.

"The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. It won't hurt to drink a little." Xiao Yiran waved his hand indifferently, and poured himself a glass of warm water with a chuckle, and poured it for Xiao Qingzi and Ying Wu as well.

"Thank you sir."

"Thank you, little master."

Xiao Yiran waved his hand, took the dried fruit brought by the waiter, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed, "Let's make a new rule."

Xiao Qingzi's scalp went numb for an instant, and he looked at Xiao Yiran with vigilance.

Every time his young master has some evil idea, he always has this half-smile expression, which was often seen in the palace before.

Yingwu didn't respond, and nodded while looking at Xiao Yiran.

"When you're with me in the future, can you relax a bit and stop being so tight? I'm tired of seeing you like this." Xiao Yiran sighed and lay down on the table, blinking his eyes in a lack of energy.

The long eyelashes flickered like a small fan, trembling slightly.He pouted, rubbing the rim of his teacup with his fingertips.

Let alone Xiaoqingzi or Yingwu, he was lazy, and even the other guests on the second floor looked straight at him.

As if doing so on purpose, Xiao Yiran slightly raised the corners of his lips, and glanced at the surrounding tables with half-raised corners of his eyes, he chuckled.

"If you look again, I'll dig out your eyeballs and soak them in wine."

His voice was faintly cold, even though the people at the other tables were armed, they were still startled by his sudden words.

The people at those tables looked at each other, then withdrew their eyes and turned around to continue eating. It wasn't that they were short-tempered, but Xiao Yiran's performance made them feel that this young man in a fancy dress was not so hot.

"Your accent is from the imperial city?" Not to mention, someone really came to provoke him.

The young man who walked up the stairs seemed to be in his twenties, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and he was wearing good materials.

Xiao Yiran tilted his head to look at him, sat up straight and nodded with a smile, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"...No, the young master looks like the young master of the aristocratic family. He came to Xiashan Peak for fun?" The young man shook his head and stood opposite Xiao Yiran with a smile. There was an empty chair beside his legs.

"Young master, please sit down. Xiao Yiran is here from the imperial city to do some silk business." He raised his hand to signal the young man to sit down, and Xiao Qingzi immediately stood up and poured him a glass of warm water.

The young man glanced at the white water in the teacup, and frowned lightly with some distaste, "In Xiagu Borong is the young sect master of Biyu Sect. When you come to Xiashan Peak, you must try the famous tea here. Your Majesty is also full of praise, young master, don’t you want to try it?”

Xiao Yiran pouted, "Your Majesty also drinks this?"

Gu Borong was stunned for a moment, and nodded with a broken smile, "The tribute summer tea is not something that anyone can drink. Your Majesty's tribute tea is still very different from the usual summer tea. It tastes more fragrant and pure. Other princes The nobles have the opportunity to drink it, but we ordinary people don’t have the opportunity to drink it, but summer tea is really good.”

Princes and nobles drink this?He rolled his eyes and thought for a while, as if he had heard Yin Tianqi say that some kind of summer tea tasted light and elegant, and after drinking it, there was sweetness in his mouth.

"Even the best tea is brewed with water, so why bother adding flowers to it, it's unnecessary." Xiao Yiran took a sip of clear water and looked at him from the corner of his eyes, and chuckled lightly.

Gu Borong's heart trembled when he saw it, he smiled dumbly and nodded.

"Young Master is right. Water is the source of life, but Young Master is a man of wisdom."

Xiao Yiran pursed his lips and did not smile. Was he looking for something to say?As for Huigen, why don't you just say, son, you can become a monk and come to save sentient beings? Pooh!

Xiao Qingzi saw Xiao Yiran's impatience, and with a smile reached out his hand to pick up some dishes for him and put them on the plate, "Master, I have lunch first, and then I will walk around the street for a while. The servant saw that the stalls downstairs are all busy." These are small gadgets, you must like them."

Xiao Yiran shook his head, picked it up a few times with chopsticks without any appetite, then put down the chopsticks and sighed.

"It's hot, I can't eat it, eat it." He turned around, stood up, went to the fence and lay there, Xiao Qingzi sighed and sat down to eat with Ying Wu.

Gu Borong rolled his eyes, stood up and went to the side, stretched out his finger to point the direction, looked at Xiao Yiran, "If Mr. Xiao feels bored, you can go there for a walk, it is even more lively after nightfall."

"Goulan Courtyard?" He has good eyesight, and he can see the signs clearly.

"My lord, you can't go there." Xiao Qingzi put down his bowl and chopsticks and turned his head to look over, frowned and reminded him aloud.

If His Majesty knew that the young master went to those filthy places, he might be so angry!

"There is nothing you can't go to, but it's just some hard-working people who want to make a living. In some places, the rich and powerful may not be as good as them." Xiao Yiran sighed, looking at that position with blank eyes.

If he hadn't entered the palace and met Yin Tianqi, his life might not have been as comfortable as those jokers, prostitutes, and prostitutes.

"Eat quickly, leave after eating, I'm tired."

Suddenly finding that he was no longer in the mood to wander outside, he turned his head to look at Gu Borong, blinked his eyes, "Young Master Gu, I also have something to ask."

Gu Borong nodded quickly, with a little excitement.

"Young Master Xiao, please speak if you have something to say."

"I've heard that there will be a martial arts conference in a while, I want to see it." Xiao Yiran glanced at Gu Borong, and seeing his troubled face, he was convinced. I am afraid that this martial arts conference is not just for anyone who wants to attend. of.

Gu Borong glanced at Xiao Yiran, seeing that he didn't have any strange expressions, but he was a little uncertain.

The four-year martial arts conference is attended by various factions and court officials, including people from other countries who come to make trouble. This Mr. Xiao, who just arrived at Xiashan Peak, said he was here for business, but he looked at it. I don't think it's that simple.

After thinking about it, he turned his head to look at Yingwu and Xiaoqingzi and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The person dressed as a servant is nothing worth noting, but this guard...

Shadow Mist turned his head to look at him, nodded to him and then turned back to continue eating.He knew what Gu Borong thought, that martial arts practitioners would walk, sit, and even breathe differently from ordinary people, so it was reasonable for him to notice.

"If Mr. Gu thinks Yeran's request is too much, just say it straight, don't be so embarrassing." Xiao Yiran opened his mouth and pulled his gaze back, patted the unnecessary dust on his hands, turned around and walked downstairs.

Xiaoqingzi hurriedly stuffed two mouthfuls of rice and got up to chase him, and Yingwu also followed.

"Hey~? Mr. Xiao..."

"I'll see you again if there is a chance, Master Gu." Xiao Yiran half turned around and smiled at him, then left.

Hmph, isn't it just an invitation post, when he can't get it?
