The horses Dugu Ye chooses are all excellent horses that can travel thousands of miles a day and eight hundred miles a night. The two masters and apprentices traveled all the way south, just rushing. Within a few days, they arrived in Youzhou.
Entering Youzhou City, there were rows of wine shops on the roadside, one next to the other. Chen Ying looked at them and suddenly felt hungry, so she said to Liu Yuan: "Mr. Liu, let's go eat. I'm hungry."
After traveling for days and not having a decent meal in the wilderness, Chen Ying was not Liu Yuan, she had been hungry for many days.
Chen Ying is a pretty clever girl. Ever since she left Fan Yang and said goodbye to Dugu Ye, she has always addressed Liu Yuan as "Mr. Liu". She rarely takes off the veil she wears and does exactly what Dugu Ye asked her to do.
After traveling for days, Liu Yuan was a little tired, so he agreed.
Duguye was afraid that Liu Yuan and the two would not have enough money on the road, so he prepared two bags of gold leaves for them. Looking at the weight of that bag, it is more than enough to support an army of a thousand people. Therefore, Liu Yuan is not worried about the expenses along the way.
The two dismounted and led the horses on foot. Chen Ying looked around and finally designated a store and said, "Mr. Liu, let's go there to eat."
Liu Yuan smiled and shook his head, and said: "What's so good about these roadside snacks? It's rare to come to Youzhou, how can you not try the food and wine in Guiyunge?"
Seeing the confusion on Chen Ying's face, Liu Yuan was concerned about the large number of people on the street and was afraid of revealing Chen Ying's true identity, so he said, "Let's go into details when we get there."
Chen Ying naturally nodded in agreement.
The sky was getting dark, and it seemed like it was going to rain at any time. The two of them did not dare to neglect, so they immediately got on their horses and rode in a hurry. As soon as they entered Guiyun Pavilion, it started to rain.
The two handed the horses to the store clerk to lead them to the backyard, and then entered the store and sat down. The store clerk ran over and greeted with a smile: "Two guests, what do you want to eat and drink?"
Liu Yuan smiled, took out a few copper coins from his sleeves and sprinkled them on the table, and said: "Make a pot of tea first, and let me think about it slowly."
The waiter frowned, but didn't say anything unpleasant. He just put away the copper coins and went down to prepare. Not long after, he brought a pot of tea and two cups and placed them heavily on the table.
"Sir, please use it slowly."
After that, the guy didn't even say hello and went straight down to work.
Seeing how rude the shop assistant was, Chen Ying couldn't hold it back and said, "Mr. Liu, this guy looks down on people so much, shall I take action to deal with him?"
Liu Yuan ignored it and took a sip of tea. The moisture in his body was immediately removed and he felt extremely comfortable. Liu Yuan put down his tea cup and said with a smile: "What's the rush? This guy doesn't think our clothes are like rich people, but he only ordered a pot of tea when we came to this good restaurant. He obviously thought that we didn't have money to eat. In this case, a I'll explain it clearly, why don't you just explain it to him?"
Liu Yuan poured a cup of tea for Chen Ying and said, "Don't be anxious. If you are anxious, you will get angry easily. You cannot be anxious."
Liu Yuan's character is like this, no matter what he does, he is never in a hurry and is never in a hurry.
Chen Ying was calmed down by Liu Yuan, and she also took a sip of tea, and her impetuous mind calmed down a bit.
Liu Yuan used his inner strength and learned that there were no masters near Guiyun Pavilion, so he felt relieved and said: "This Guiyun Pavilion is a very famous restaurant in the world, and its reputation is no less than that of Gu Qingcheng's Luoxianfang. It's just that you always live in the Chen family. , just ignore the affairs of the world and have no information, so there is no way to know."
Chen Ying felt deeply ashamed.
The two masters and apprentices sat by the window. Liu Yuan looked at the hazy scenery outside the window with drizzle and sighed: "I remember back then, when we were in Jiangnan, Yi Haichao and I were drinking and talking in Guiyun Pavilion. I never thought that today, The scenery remains the same as before, but the people have changed.”
Chen Ying was startled and said: "Master, are you talking about the master of Fengdao Pavilion, Senior Yi, who is known as the 'Half Sky Wind and Rain'?"
Liu Yuandao: "If there is no second Yi Haichao in the world, then there should be one."
Because the nine people were not nearby, Liu Yuan did not suppress his voice. When the people at the next table heard the words, they suddenly interrupted and said: "Is what you said really Senior Yi?"
Liu Yuan was still looking out the window and did not look back. He just said: "Your Excellency and I have never met each other. Why are you telling lies?"
The man immediately stood up, bowed deeply to Liu Yuan, and said: "I am Wu Yu, who is also a swordsman. I have admired Senior Yi's magical skill of 'turning light into a sword' for a long time. Since I know Senior Yi, I also want to see him." I would like to introduce you to you, and I would like to express my gratitude."
Liu Yuan then looked at Wu Yu and said, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid it can't be done. I stopped seeing him ten years ago."
Wu Yu glanced at Liu Yuan in surprise. He felt that he could not feel any inner strength in him. He was like an ordinary citizen, not like someone who could talk to Han Tianfeng Yu. He thought he was being fooled and said he was disrespectful. , and became silent again.
Liu Yuan and Wu Yu ignored him, thought for a while, took out the paper and ink from the baggage he carried with him, wrote a few strokes on the paper, handed it to Wu Yu, and said: "Take this and go to Feng Dao Pavilion and hand it over. Give it to Yi Haichao, maybe he will meet you, I can't say for sure."
Wu Yu took the paper and looked at the ordinary word "kind" on it. He was puzzled. But when Liu Yuan handed it to him, he didn't want to throw it away. He just said: "That's it, then thank you, brother." I'm done. I have something important to do, so I'll take my leave first."
After that, the man picked up the baggage and long knife on the table and went straight out.
Liu Yuan ignored Wu Yu and just turned to look out the window. After a while, he was stunned.
When Chen Ying saw this, she was a little curious and asked: "Master, what are you looking at?"
Liu Yuan said softly: "Look at this world."
Chen Ying was startled, and followed Liu Yuan to look out the window. The drizzle outside the window was hazy, and everything was shrouded in the rain, making it almost invisible. Chen Ying was greatly confused and said: "Master, there is nothing outside."
Liu Yuan smiled and said: "Girl, what you said doesn't mean anything. It's actually what I'm looking at."
Chen Ying was still puzzled.
Liu Yuan softly chanted: "The light rain on the sky street is as moist as crisp, the color of grass looks far away but is not there up close."
Chen Ying subconsciously continued: "The most advantageous thing is the spring of a year, which is better than the smoke and willows in the emperor's capital."
Liu Yuan said bitterly: "Girl, do you think these last two sentences are suitable for this situation?"
Chen Ying looked at the drizzle outside the window and said, "Master, this is indeed not the imperial capital."
Liu Yuan shook his head and said: "It's not this, but the first half of the sentence. What are the benefits of spring? Girl, in this troubled world, even if it is spring, how can there be any benefits?"
Liu Yuan rolled up his sleeves and stretched his hands out of the window. The drizzle hit Liu Yuan's palms, making them slightly cool. Liu Yuan put his hands behind his back and turned the back of his hands upward. After a while, the palms and backs of his hands were wet with rain. Liu Yuan then stretched out his hand.
Chen Ying asked curiously: "Master, what are you doing?"
A hint of sadness flashed deep in Liu Yuan's eyes, and he said softly: "Your hands are too dirty, wash them."
Chen Ying felt that there was something in Liu Yuan's words, but when she saw that Liu Yuan looked slightly disappointed, she did not dare to ask. She just sat face to face with Liu Yuan in a polite manner.
Liu Yuan shook his hand and shook it dry. He called the waiter and asked him to bring some good wine and food.
The waiter looked hesitant and did not go down to prepare immediately. Liu Yuan also knew what the waiter was worried about, so he took out a gold leaf from his sleeve and said, "Is it enough?"
The store clerk suddenly smiled and said: "That's enough, that's enough."
After that, the shop clerk accepted the gold leaves and went down to prepare.
