Chapter 13: Interlude
Beiping City is a lot more prosperous than Heikou City, but it is slightly lacking in status. The special thing about Heikou City is that he is the fief of the Ninth Master, and he commands the army within a radius of thousands of miles.
In Beiping City, Huang Wuji found a restaurant that looked good everywhere and asked for a table of dishes. In the surprised eyes of everyone, Huang Yao ate the essence alone, Huang Wuji only tasted a few bites, and most of his attention was focused on the conversation of everyone in the restaurant.
In conversation. Huang Wuji knew the whereabouts of the people who were led out by the Ninth Master that day, and they were all ambushed and killed at the mouth of the small river one by one. I heard that at that time, hundreds of corpses were lying densely in the mouth of the small river, and the blood stained the river red, and some people who lived by fishing at the mouth of the river all year round were also afraid to gain a foothold.
As for other things, I don't know if it hasn't spread yet, or if it is deliberately kept secret, Huang Wuji didn't hear it, that is, the matter of the plain is expected.
Huang Yao finished eating and paid the bill, and Huang Wuji took Huang Yao to find the caravan he was riding today. The caravan owner is very fat, with a pair of mouse eyes and a garlic nose, and at a glance he knows that he is a stingy and stingy person, who is a man with money like his life.
"Boss, I want to ask, where is your caravan going!" Huang Wuji asked, looking at the stingy caravan owner. "What do you want to do!" the caravan owner suddenly became alert, and looked at the father and daughter who had gone and returned in confusion.
"Boss, don't be nervous, I just want to know where you go, I'm going north, I don't know if the direction is inconsistent, if it's the same, can you bring our father and daughter!" Huang Wuji saw the hesitant look of the caravan boss, and hurriedly added strength and said: "Of course, money is indispensable to you!"
"This son, I don't understand a little bit, so many big caravans don't choose, choose me as a small caravan!" The caravan owner has been in business all the year round, his head is very shrewd, and he also knows a lot of insiders, many things seem to be very simple, but if you are not careful, you will be busy with cars.
"Don't worry, boss, we just want to go to Jianghuai City, if you stop by, take us for a ride!" After speaking, Huang Wuji took out a silver ingot of fifty taels, and in the final analysis, silver is still the largest in Middle Earth.
The caravan boss saw the silver with a pair of mouse eyes that suddenly lit up, and his heart was very conflicted, looking at the silver that was close at hand, thinking about the safety of the caravan, looking at Huang Wuji who was holding Huang Yao with a harmless face, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I can take you with me, I will also go to Jianghuai City to do a deal!"
"But!" the caravan boss snatched the silver in his hand with his agility and continued, "However, fifty taels is only the carriage fare, and the food is not counted!"
"Yes!" Huang Wuji smiled, took out fifty taels of silver from his bosom and handed it to the caravan boss and said, "How can more be enough!". The caravan owner snatched the silver, held it in his arms and laughed silly, and said, "Enough, enough!"
The caravan boss looked at Huang Wuji as if he had been wronged, and said respectfully: "Childe, please!" The inn where the caravan is located is very small, but there are many people living in it, all of them are small caravans, and the number of people in the caravan is not much, and it is full of more than thirty people.
Five of the thirty-odd men wore swords, and at a glance they knew they were guards, and the rest were coolies or men.
The caravan owner took Huang Wuji to prepare to open a room in the inn, smelling the sour body odor in the inn, Huang Yao's little head was frowning, obviously not liking this smell.
Huang Wuji didn't like it either, looked at the caravan boss and said, "Boss, can you take me to the best inn in Beiping City for a night, and send someone to call us tomorrow morning!"
"Childe, you're asking the right person!" The caravan owner knew that Huang Wuji was rich and probably couldn't get used to living in such a small place, so he smiled and took the two of them to a very luxurious inn located in the center of Beiping City, a very luxurious, crowded inn, all the people who came in and out were either high-ranking officials and nobles, or some sons of families, and as for ordinary rich merchants, they couldn't see a single one.
"Childe, this is the best inn in Beiping City, Lingyun Pavilion, which is even more robust than the Blackheart Inn in Heikou City, all the dignitaries and nobles who come in and out of here, the children of the family, compared to the black-hearted inn, which is the place where the real magnates enter!" The caravan boss explained while preparing to take Huang Wuji away.
Who knows, as soon as he walked to the door, a junior second stopped the caravan boss outside the door, looked up and down, looked at it with disdainful eyes and said: "What are you doing, you can also come here, look at what you are wearing, let you go in where to put our Lingyun Pavilion's face!"
The words of the inn junior made the caravan owner extremely embarrassed, and the farce at the door also aroused the interest of some children of high-ranking officials and noble families.
"You!" The caravan owner looked at the innkeeper with an angry face, and he also knew where he was, so he could only hold back his anger and look at Huang Wuji in embarrassment, and he didn't know how to do it for a while.
"Get out of the way!" Huang Wuji said lightly, and the caravan owner involuntarily stepped aside. Huang Wuji hugged Huang Yao and looked at the inn Xiao Er, looked up at the golden plaque hanging above the door of Lingyun Pavilion, and said indifferently: "Lingyun Pavilion, such a big style, I don't know if the shopkeeper is also so imposing above the clouds, let Huang Mou see and understand!"
I saw that Huang Wuji raised his left hand, and the gold-lettered plaque hanging in front of the inn trembled. With a whoosh, with the iron nails around him, the plaque flew into Huang Wuji's hand, gently pinching the edge of the plaque, and the children of the dignitaries and nobles on the side were also dumbfounded at this time, and it took a long time to come back to their senses, and someone really dared to smash the signboard of Lingyun Pavilion.
"You!" The innkeeper was also frightened by Huang Wuji's actions, and ran into the inn with a roll, shouting loudly: "Come on, someone, someone is coming to smash the signboard, everyone hurry up!"
The inn's words made the entire inn a sensation, and they walked out one by one, wanting to see if it was the one who was not afraid to dare to come to Lingyun Pavilion to make trouble. In the past, there were also many people who saw that Lingyun Pavilion had a good business and came to make trouble and wanted benefits, but they all broke their legs and threw them out, the most recent one was about a year ago, and I haven't seen such a good show for a long time, and I miss it a little.
With the inn's junior second's request for help, more than a dozen big men in the inn looked powerful, one by one with a black iron long stick in their hands, and the fierce god just walked out of the door, looked at the surrounding bears, and scolded loudly: "It's that guy who doesn't open his eyes and dares to make trouble in Lingyun Pavilion, I think he is impatient, if he wants to live, he will cut off his legs, give your grandfather a hundred kowtows, consider letting you go!"
Standing at the door of the inn, he was still holding the signboard of Lingyun Pavilion in his heart, and he was quickly recognized by the big man, and he wanted to come up and teach Huang Wuji a lesson with one step. The caravan boss was also anxious, and secretly wondered why he brought Huang Wuji to Lingyun Pavilion, now the matter was too big, and it was too late to leave.
"Stop!" Suddenly a voice came from the inn, like a spring, trickling, making people listen, in the hot summer, a sweet feeling.
I saw that a light pink Baizi carved silk robe came out of the door of the inn, and walked swaying, like a peach blossom blooming in winter, delicate and moving. The flag bun is inserted with rose-purple palace flowers, which reflects the skin like cream. She turned her face to see herself, the pear socket at the corner of her mouth loomed, and the chestnut red ears on the flag head fluttered in the wind with her smile.
The woman walked out, and the dignitaries and children of the family who were watching the excitement outside the inn all looked at her stupidly. Huang Wuji's eyes were cold, although such a woman was also said to be one of the best, but compared to the plum blossom witch Mi Hong and Qin Yao, it was still one level behind.
"You are the shopkeeper of Lingyun Pavilion!" Huang Wuji teased Huang Yao's little nose as if he didn't look at it, and asked indifferently in his voice.
The proprietress of Lingyun Pavilion was shocked when she saw Huang Wuji's performance, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she quickly recovered and said with a smile: "The little woman is the owner of Lingyun Pavilion, I don't know that Lingyun Pavilion has offended the son, and the son wants to tear down my signboard!"
"Lingyun Pavilion, Lingyun Pavilion, Lingyun Driving the Nine Heavens, do you have this qualification!" Huang Wuji raised his eyes, his eyes were like lightning, and when he was dazzling, a faint invisible coercion overflowed, condensed into a strand, and rushed towards the proprietress of Lingyun Pavilion.
"You!" The proprietress of Lingyun Pavilion just wanted to refute, but suddenly felt that the surroundings had changed greatly, as if solidified, and when she looked at the dignitaries and children of the family on the side, it was like slow motion, and her heart was heavy, as if she was pressed on it by a majestic mountain.
The proprietress of Lingyun Pavilion was secretly frightened, knowing that it was not easy to find fault with the person this time, luck resisted, and a spiritual power quietly spread all over the body, faintly competing with Huang Wuji's coercion, and the jade hand in her sleeve was raised, and an undercurrent rushed towards Huang Wuji.
In the face of the invisible undercurrent, Huang Wuji did not move, his face was slightly scratched with a hint of ridicule, looking at the proprietress of Lingyun Pavilion, with a slight wave of the sleeve of his left hand, the undercurrent suddenly spread out, and then the sleeve waved again, and a majestic spiritual power came out of the body.
The spiritual power that Huang Wuji tried this time was intangible, like a torrent erupting from a mountain stream, with a compelling momentum, flying towards the proprietress of Lingyun Pavilion. The proprietress of Lingyun Pavilion also felt the strength of the spiritual power, and her luck was ready to resist, and at the moment when the spiritual power was about to approach, Huang Wuji's sleeves waved again, and an undercurrent flew to scatter the spiritual power to the ninth layer.
The remaining layer of spiritual power hit the body of the proprietress of Lingyun Pavilion, and there was an almost inaudible sound, and the little feet hidden under the skirt of the proprietress of Lingyun Pavilion rubbed against the ground, and she took a few steps back.
Huang Wuji didn't want to cause trouble, and after the spiritual power was issued, he secretly regretted it, and immediately scattered the previous nine layers with a hair, and the remaining layer of spiritual power also had the meaning of comparison.
The proprietress of Lingyun Pavilion secretly took a few steps back, and no one else noticed it, only Huang Wuji could see it clearly.
"Lingyun Pavilion, Lingyun Pavilion, can you afford it!" Huang Wuji looked at the proprietress of Lingyun Pavilion and asked in a deep voice. "Thank you for the mercy of the child's men, the little woman is grateful. As for the name of Lingyun Pavilion, the little woman can afford it!" Lingyun Pavilion proprietress looked at Huang Wuji's perfect and handsome face, a trace of shyness flashed in her eyes, and she was even more heartbroken when she thought of the other party's mercy just now, but her tone of voice was very confident.
Huang Wuji also understood that the woman in front of him was not the main owner of Lingyun Pavilion at all, and there should be other forces behind the scenes. The proprietress of Lingyun Pavilion replied so confidently, it must not be simple.
"In that case, there's nothing to say here!" Huang Wuji returned the signboard to the proprietress of Lingyun Pavilion. Huang Wuji is not a person who is afraid of things, but he killed tens of thousands of Black Flag troops in a row in the Great Man, and also killed the ninth brother of the Barbarian Emperor, the Great Prince was seriously injured, and the Seventh Prince was cut off an arm.
At this time, if something happens, and is discovered by the eldest prince and the seventh prince, he will definitely secretly send people to find trouble for himself, and when the time comes, he will kill some people, maybe the barbarian will reckless the consequences and strangle himself with all his might, which is a big mistake.
Seeing Huang Wuji return the signboard, the proprietress of Lingyun Pavilion's eyes softened, and asked in a pleasant voice: "The son who didn't know what happened just now was angry, please tell Yinyue!"
"It's not a big deal, it's just that Miss Yinyue's buddy is disrespectful!" Huang Wuji told the story of the matter, and the dignitaries and children of the family on the side suddenly realized that this was the case.
Originally, the behavior of the inn junior was very normal in their opinion, Lingyun Pavilion was not a cat or a dog to come, but today he met Huang Wuji, a very unreasonable and arrogant guy, who was destined to have a tragedy.
"What Childe said is true!" Yin Yue asked with a gloomy face as she looked back at the inn junior. The innkeeper didn't dare to lie, so he knelt on the ground and shouted loudly begging for mercy: "The boss forgives me, the little one didn't mean it!"
"It seems that what Childe said is true, there is actually a person like you in Lingyun Pavilion!" Yin Yue's eyes flashed with anger. In fact, Yin Yue was angry not because Xiao Er was disrespectful, but because Xiao Er had no eyesight, and he couldn't even tell who was the main owner, so he came out to clean up the situation and almost lost face.
The inn Xiaoer is domineering, and Yin Yue is not unaware, such things often happen every year, so it's no wonder. The reason why I came out to see it today was because the signboard was taken off, which was a big deal, and then I was unlucky enough to collide with Huang Wuji.
"Come on, throw this guy out, never hire him!" Yin Yue could only throw the inn junior out in order to calm Huang Wuji's anger and maintain the face of Lingyun Pavilion.
Two big men walked out with the inn junior.
"Childe, please come in, today's matter is still in Haihan, your host fee is all comprehensive, and it should all be a little compensation from Lingyun Pavilion!" Yin Yue said with a smile. "No need, I'll still be on the move with this little money!" Huang Wuji rejected Yin Yue's kindness, turned his head to look at the caravan boss and said, "Remember, come to me tomorrow!"
The caravan boss also saw Huang Wuji's mighty appearance, and quickly nodded, as a greeting, turned around and left without looking back. Under the leadership of Yin Yue, Huang Wuji walked into Lingyun Pavilion with Huang Yao in his arms.
