In the evening, restaurants and inns are the busiest.
The lobby was full of people, mostly Jianghu people, and there were many weapons on the tables and beside the stools.
When Chu Xiu walked in, almost everyone at the dining table glanced at him, then withdrew their gaze and continued drinking, eating meat, and participating in conversations.
The people at the dinner table were all men.
If it were a woman, she would probably take another look or two when she saw Chu Xiu.
Just like the proprietress sitting at the inn counter, when she saw Chu Xiu walking in, her seductive eyes took a few more glances.
Come to the counter.
"Is there any room left?" Chu Xiu asked, glancing at the landlady calmly.
With curved willow eyebrows, big phoenix eyes, a straight tip of nose, moist pink lips, and a simple red cloth skirt, she can't hide her plump and seductive figure.
For a moment, Chu Xiu had difficulty judging the age of the landlady.
Just looking at her pale skin with pink skin, she seems to be less than 20 years old.
And the mature and attractive charm exuding all over her body seems to be more than thirty years old.
"As expected of the imperial capital, a small inn has such an alluring proprietress. Then the rent here..."
Thinking of this, Chu Xiu suddenly felt worried about being short of money.
"have."
"Name, place of origin."
The landlady held a thin brush and dipped it in the inkstone.
"Chu Xiu, Shuzhou..." Chu Xiu announced his name.
Prices in Chang'an City are five or six times more expensive than in Shuzhou. Renting an ordinary inn and an ordinary room for half a month costs two taels of silver.
…
It's getting dark.
The moonlight is like a wash.
After having a full meal, Chu Xiu sat by the bed and took out a golden gourd from the bookcase.
What is in bloom here is the Yanyan wine brewed from the blood of the Red Flame Clam.
Mellow and strong liquor, highly toxic.
After taking a sip, Chu Xiu felt as if he had swallowed a ball of flames, and his cheeks instantly turned rosy.
In a moment, heat flowed up from all over the body, limbs and bones, the energy filled the body, the pores opened and closed, and it felt unimaginably comfortable.
Chu Xiu sat cross-legged on the bed, using the half-book of nameless mental techniques that the sweeping monk Yiming had taught him.
This half-book of exercises and techniques allows him to absorb the powerful medicinal power and poisonous substances in Yanyan wine to the maximum extent and convert them into true energy.
However, this walking technique lacks the lower part, which allows him to only absorb the poison but cannot truly eliminate it.
Because of this, his true energy contained the cold poison attribute of the Wild Ice Silkworm. Also for this reason, he was unable to break through the realm and build a foundation in martial arts.
What he can do is to continuously compress the pure Qi in the initial state until it liquefies; and constantly open up the complex meridians and acupuncture points in the body.
The many meridians and acupoints he opened have not even been recorded in various classics.
In fact, over the years.
The real reason why Chu Xiu was able to survive was that this half-book of exercises and techniques was the most critical factor.
Unfortunately, there is only half a volume.
This time he went to Lingshan Temple to find Master Yichen, actually thinking of trying his luck.
The backyard of the inn.
The landlady’s residence.
Above the round tub, steaming mist rises.
In the bathtub, the landlady gently stirred the petals on the water and opened her red lips:
"Here comes a poor scholar."
Sitting in front of the dressing table nearby was a cold-faced man wearing a green robe. At this moment, the cold-faced man looked at the bronze dressing mirror and blinked. His originally cold outline suddenly softened.
The bronzed face suddenly became as white as jade.
Disguise.
"The exam day for Zhuque Academy is coming soon. The inn will become more and more lively. Please be careful."
The 'cold-faced man'' red lips parted slightly and his voice was pleasant to the ear.
"Not many people dare to make trouble in Chang'an City. Our place is Ping Anfang, the poorest place in Chang'an City. Generally, people with a little ambition will not live here." The landlady said while sliding her wet and dripping jade hands over the powder. With tender skin, he said softly, not very worried.
"You're wrong to think that way. The poorest and most vicious people here like to hide here in order not to draw attention to themselves."
"Since we are hiding here, how dare we mess around?" The landlady chuckled, leisurely stirring the warm water in the tub.
"Forget it, it's hard to move around lately anyway. I've been here all the time, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"..."
In the east of Chang'an City, there is Zhuque Academy.
Back mountain.
"he came."
Tang Jiabao found Duanmu Yaoyao with excitement on his face.
Duanmu Yaoyao, who was preparing ambergris, raised his head, narrowed his phoenix eyes and said, "Chu Xiu?"
Tang Jiabao nodded quickly, "He lives in Ping'an Fang."
"Oh?" Duanmu Yaoyao raised her delicate eyebrows lightly and asked, "Where are Meng Xiaochuan and Huitong? Do they also live with him?"
After returning to Zhuque Academy, Duanmu Yaoyao and Tang Jiabao had been paying attention to Chu Xiu's whereabouts and knew that Chu Xiu came to Chang'an City with Meng Xiaochuan and Huitong.
"Huitong went to the temple where Master Yiwu was stationed at Lingshan Temple, and Meng Xiaochuan went directly to Hongxiu Tower." Meng Xiaochuan said with a smile, "Chu Xiu probably didn't want to cause trouble, so he took refuge in Ping'an Fang and waited for the day of the college entrance examination."
"Don't want to cause trouble?" Duanmu Yaoyao raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said leisurely, "Tomorrow morning, let's go give him a surprise."
"Surprise?" Tang Jiabao's eyes lit up.
"Young Master Chu has come to Chang'an City, how can you let him remain unknown?" Duanmu Yaoyao smiled charmingly.
She has always been brooding over her defeat to Chu Xiu, thinking it was her own dark history.
"Okay." Tang Jiabao nodded and chuckled, "I have prepared a poison, but I don't know if he dares to compete with me."
"Young people are so frivolous and easy to get excited. Just a little provocation will help." Duanmu Yaoyao smiled. She had never worried that Chu Xiu would avoid fighting.
Nothing happened all night.
The next day, the sky was clear.
The early morning sun in the east glowed with red light, filling the entire city of Chang'an.
A gorgeously decorated carriage drove away from the mountain behind Suzaku Academy.
The driver was the slightly fat Tang Jiabao, who was wearing a black suit.
Sitting in the carriage is the exquisitely dressed Duanmu Yaoyao. She is wearing a large and comfortable bright red dress. Her black hair is loosely bent, showing a somewhat lazy and luxurious temperament.
The carriage stopped outside Ping'anfang Changlai Inn.
Tang Jiabao glanced at the plaque of the Frequent Inn, and then looked again.
"The business of this inn must be very good."
Tang Jiabao grinned and felt that if he encountered such a "diaolai" inn on the way, he would definitely go in and stay for one night.
Duanmu Yaoyao stepped out of the carriage, glanced at the inn plaque, and was also startled.
The two walked into the inn lobby together.
They arrived early and there weren't many people in the lobby.
The two chose a seat by the window and sat down.
Duanmu Yaoyao glanced at Tang Jiabao.
Tang Jiabao smiled knowingly, took out his jade identity card, placed it on the dining table, and then shouted towards the counter: "Boss."
The landlady stood up and walked towards Duanmu Yaoyao and Tang Jiabao.
From the moment the two people entered the inn lobby, the landlady never took her eyes away.
She was surprised.
At first glance, these two people were no ordinary people.
Especially Duanmu Yaoyao, dressed in a bright red Dahongpao and with a stunningly beautiful face, the rate of turning heads is 99%.
Stay close.
After seeing clearly the identity jade badge in front of Tang Jiabao, the proprietress's eyes couldn't help but twitch.
Zhuque Academy, Tang Jiabao.
She has never met Tang Jiabao, but she has heard of the name 'Tang Jiabao'.
The twelfth personal disciple of Dean Feng of Zhuque Academy!
