After Song E entered Xianyang City, she looked around in confusion.
Although her family is rich, she has never traveled far, let alone looking for someone in a big city. Fortunately, Xiang Xian, who accompanied her, helped to ask around and quickly found the Exorcist Tower.
After Song E saw the Exorcist Tower, she couldn't help but sigh: "This place is really gorgeous."
That Xian also nodded in agreement.
Wang Laoshi is a good businessman. After making money, he uses part of it to decorate the facade of the Exorcist Tower. The more gorgeous the Banished Immortal Tower looks, the more expensive the drinks there will be. Wang Laoshi understands this truth very well.
Song E stood outside the Exorcist Tower for a long time, a little afraid to go in. Although she has grown up in a boudoir, she also understands that no one likes to recall the tragic past.
Mr. Wang has obviously become a wealthy man in Xianyang City now. He may not want to mention the things of being a beggar. After all, it is too embarrassing. If you go in, will you be kicked out?
Xiang Xian beside him whispered: "Go, no matter what, you have to go in."
Song E nodded: "Yes, I have to go in no matter what."
If you don't go in, how can you see Wang Laoshi? How did he meet the Exalted Immortal and General Li Xin through his introduction? How to help my father redress his grievance? How to save the lives of a whole family?
Thinking of this, Song E gritted her teeth and went in.
After entering, she was a little at a loss. The floor of the entire restaurant is paved with smooth stones. If you stand on it, you can even clearly cast your shadow.
The counter was carved from a whole piece of nanmu, and some of the customers even used cups with gems inlaid on them.
Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter from upstairs, and several ladies came down in groups, laughing and talking about something along the way.
Song E was a little confused: "Can women in Xianyang City show their faces freely?"
Although Song E has made a public appearance, there are still differences. Her family was ruined and she had to live in exile. These women are obviously noble ladies, and they are clearly here to drink and have fun.
I have never heard of ladies being allowed to visit restaurants. Isn’t that the same as prostitutes?
At this time, a young boy came over and asked with a smile: "You two, do you want to drink or listen to a book?"
To be honest, the clothes of Song E and Xiang Xian were much shabby compared with the guests here. But the young man didn't mean to look down on them at all, he was still polite. Because the little boy was once a poor man, and because the banished immortal never treated the poor in a bossy manner.
Song E felt warm in her heart and became more courageous. Then she asked cautiously: "Is the owner of this restaurant called Wang Laoshi?"
The boy smiled: "The owner of the restaurant is Lord Banished Immortal. Wang Laoshi is our shopkeeper."
Song E said oh, and then asked in a low voice: "I...can I see Shopkeeper Wang?"
The young man said: "Of course, please wait a moment, girl, and I will ask him to come out."
Song E was shocked. The guests received in such a gorgeous restaurant were either rich or expensive. Its shopkeeper must be a very distinguished person, right? And she, an embarrassed girl, just said she wanted to see him, and he was willing to see her?
Xiang Xian next to him also sighed with emotion: This person is quite approachable. Girl, I don't think he is necessarily an ungrateful person.
Song E nodded slowly.
Soon, Wang Laoshi came out with a smile on his face and asked with a smile: "Is it the girl who wants to see me?"
Song E said awkwardly: "Yes."
Wang Laoshi pointed to a room and said: "You two, please come in. There are many people here, and it would be bad if a reckless man bumps into the girl."
Song E and Xiang Xian followed Wang Laoshi to the house. This is obviously a private room.
Soon, a young man brought two glasses of wine. This wine is not fairy wine, but ordinary thin wine, but it is enough to make Song E grateful.
Wang Laoshi looked at Song E and suddenly exclaimed: "The girl is so kind-hearted. I seem to have seen her somewhere."
Song E lowered her head and said cautiously: "Shopkeeper Wang has never seen me, but he should have seen my father. My father and I are indeed somewhat similar."
Wang Laoshi asked curiously: "Your Majesty, who is..."
Song E mustered up her courage and said, "My father's surname is Song Mingliu."
Wang Laoshi was stunned and muttered: "Song Liu?"
Seeing his confused look, Song E didn't know whether he had really forgotten or just couldn't remember, and her heart gradually became cold.
However, Wang Laoshi asked with concern: "Where is the girl from?"
Song E said: "Chu land, Songjia Village."
Wang Laoshi was shocked and exclaimed: "Is she Master Song's daughter?"
Song E was surprised and happy, and nodded.
Wang Laoshi suddenly stood up and saluted Song E repeatedly.
Song E was startled and quickly avoided it.
Wang Laoshi burst into tears: "In the past, my hometown was hit by a disaster, and I was begging on the streets. When I was dying of cold and hunger, I walked to the door of Master Song's house. Master Song gave me a full meal and gave me some clothes. I am I finally got my life back."
"It has been twenty years, and I have never dared to forget Mr. Song. The only regret is that I don't know your name. In the past two years, I have been working with the banished immortal, and I finally have some money. I want to go back and repay my benefactor. I don't want to The Chu land was not stable and the trip was never possible."
Song E was a little touched: it turned out that he didn't know his father's name.
Wang Laoshi scolded the boy behind him: "What are you still doing standing here? Go and prepare wine and dinner."
The boy left in a hurry.
Wang Laoshi asked Xiang Xian next to him again: "Who is this person?"
Song E immediately said: "Fortunately, there were righteous people who rescued me along the way. Otherwise, it would be thousands of miles away and I might not be able to reach Xianyang alone."
Wang Laoshi quickly asked: "Are you alone? Where is your benefactor?"
When Song E heard him talking about Song Liu, she burst into tears: "My father was captured by Qin soldiers."
In front of Xiang Xian, Song E did not go into too much detail. She only said that a group of Qin soldiers robbed their ancestral property and framed the Song family as rebels.
After Wang Laoshi heard this, he gasped in anger. He said to Song E: "Don't worry, girl. I have an old relationship with the Exiled Immortal. When I write a letter and ask the Exiled Immortal for help, I will be able to rescue my benefactor."
Song E looked grateful. Then he asked: "What about General Li Xin? Does Shopkeeper Wang recognize him?"
Wang honestly smiled: "General Li is a frequent visitor here. Occasionally he gets drunk and calls me brothers. But this matter is just a matter of banishing an immortal. There is no need to bother General Li. Don't worry, girl."
While we were talking, the food and wine had already arrived.
Following the wine and food was Wang Laoshi’s wife.
The proprietress also bowed to Song E, thanking them for saving Wang Laoshi in the past.
Song E suddenly felt at home in the Banished Immortal Tower. Even Xiang Xian next to him felt warm.
He thought silently in his heart: This Wang Laoshi is a sincere gentleman. How did he become friends with a shameless villain like Huai Guzi?
In fact, Xiang Xian had never dealt with Huaiguzi, but he always heard Xiang talk about Huaiguzi, so deep down in his heart, he always felt that Huaiguzi was a devilish figure.
…………
When Song E settled down in the Immortal Exile Tower, Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang's group also came to Xiang Chao's house.
Xiang Chao heard that Yu'er, whom he had longed for, was here. I was already in tears.
He pulled Xiang Yu and cried, "I heard someone said that you were hit by an arrow and were seriously injured. You are unconscious."
Xiang Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, father. I have recovered."
Xiang Chao nodded and said with emotion to the servant beside him: "This is my Yu'er. If it had been anyone else, he would have been dead long ago."
The servants all nodded in agreement and kept flattering.
Seeing that Xiang Yu and others were all exhausted, Xiang Chao quickly arranged a meal and dinner. Then he asked about Chu Di in detail.
Xiang Yu told everything he knew one by one, and Xiang Chao couldn't help but sigh.
When Xiang Yu said that he wanted to sneak into Shangjun's courtyard and kill Huaiguzi, Xiang Chao did not express any objection.
Firstly, he felt that Huaiguzi really deserved to be killed, and secondly, he felt that his son was omnipotent and it shouldn't be difficult to kill just one person.
Xiang Chao thought for a while and said to Xiang Yu: "Do you remember Jing Fu?"
Xiang Yu said: "But Jing Fu, a powerful person from the Chu region? Did he come to Xianyang City last year?"
Xiang Chao said: "Exactly."
He whispered: "Actually, Jing Fu is your uncle's man, and he is the spy we sent to Xianyang City. Now Jing Fu has a very good relationship with Huaiguzi. His son Jing Gai even passed the imperial examination and became an official in the court. If you want to sneak into Shang Jun's courtyard, it will be smooth sailing if you are introduced by Jing Fu."
Xiang Yu thought for a while, shook his head slightly, and said: "In the future, I will assassinate Huaiguzi. After killing him, I will fly away. When the time comes, King Qin will be angry and will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly. By then, Jing Fu will definitely be implicated. If If Jing Fu can't resist, he will recruit his father."
Xiang Chao nodded slightly.
Xiang Yu said: "Fortunately, I met Song E on the road, and she introduced me to the Exorcist Tower and then to the Shangjun Villa. In this way, no one else was implicated. After I killed Huaiguzi, my father and Jing Fu can still do things in Xianyang City."
Xiang Chao patted Xiang Yu on the shoulder: "As expected of my Yu'er, he is both civil and military, and he is thorough in his actions."
The servants next to him echoed again.
Xiang Yu, Xiang Zhuang and others stayed at Xiang Chao's house for the night, and rushed to the Exorcist Tower early the next morning.
After Xiang Yu left, Xiang Chao was restless at home.
The servant next to him said: "Master, the young master is both civil and military, and nothing will happen to him."
Xiang Chao said: "I'm not worried about Yu'er. I just feel that Yu'er is so outstanding, but no one knows about it. I feel a little depressed in my heart, and I feel unhappy if I don't express it."
Xiang Chao thought for a while and said to the servant: "Prepare the car, I want to go to Jingfu Mansion. Now that my Yu'er has come to Xianyang City, let's find an opportunity to let him see it."
…………
Xiang Yu and his group arrived at the Banishing Immortal Tower and were quickly received by Wang Laoshi.
Wang Laoshi treated Song E as his daughter. Now Song E lives in Wang Laoshi's mansion like a rich lady. Food and clothing are even more luxurious than before.
After Xiang Yu explained his intention. Wang Laoshi pondered for a while and said: "Yesterday's Xiang Xian, I asked him to be E'er's guard. As for you guys, there is no shortage of manpower in my family."
Xiang Yu's heart sank: What? Does Wang Laoshi still want to refuse?
Wang Laoshi said again: "I heard from E'er that all of you have extraordinary skills? The banished immortal has been looking for some people with strong martial arts skills to protect Shang Jun's courtyard..."
Xiang Yu was overjoyed: So he can enter Shangjun Courtyard?
However, Wang Laoshi said slowly: "However, everyone who enters Shangjun's courtyard must go through many tests, and even three generations of ancestors must be checked to see if they have committed any crimes. Several of them are from the Chu region, and their origins are unknown. , I’m afraid it’s difficult to get in.”
Xiang Yu's heart sank: Is there no chance?
In the end, Wang Laoshi said again: "But if I recommend it, it may not be impossible."
Xiang Yu was overjoyed: Is this done?
However, Wang Laoshi shook his head again: "Now that the banished immortal is not in Xianyang City, we have to wait until he comes back to know the result."
Xiang Yu almost slapped him in the face: This guy talks in twists and turns, it's really annoying.
In the end, Wang Laoshi asked Xiang Yu and others to do some rough moving work in the Immortal Exile Tower first, and then decide where to go after Li Shui came back.
Xiang Yu and others had no choice but to agree.
In the next few days, the scope of activities of Xiang Yu and others was the back alley of the Banished Immortal Tower.
Every day, the vegetables from the oxcart are unloaded and moved to the cellar of the Banished Immortal Building. Then bring up the fairy wine from the cellar for the guests to drink. At the end of the day, my back aches and my back is sore, which is simply not a human life.
If it's just fatigue, that's it. The key is that sometimes there are not enough waiters in Banxian Tower, and they have to help serve tea and water.
In this process, it is inevitable to hear a few storyteller's voices.
A book that has become popular recently is called: Banish the Immortal and Destroy Xiang Liang.
This book was co-authored by Mr. Fu Yao and Princess Wei Yang. They have applied for a patent in the patent office and authorized Ban Xian Lou to lecture on it.
In this book, he banishes immortals with extraordinary bravery, spreads beans to make soldiers, and can call for wind and rain. He has incredible abilities. Xiang Liang, on the other hand, was like a clown, surrendering on his knees all day long.
Every time Xiang Liang heard these stories, he was so angry that he wanted to smash the wine jar on the storyteller's head.
Isn't this blatant nonsense? Exiled an immortal and turned into an army? Has anyone seen it? Is he calling the shots? So why are there still severe droughts in some places? It's simply unreasonable.
However, the people of Xianyang especially liked this book and listened to it with gusto. Whenever the Qin army won a battle, they would cheer loudly and throw rewards on the stage.
Xiang Yu shook his head and cursed in his heart: Qin people are really as stupid as pigs. It is truly blind to the sky to have people like this dominate the world.
Suddenly one day, Wang Laoshi found Xiang Yu and said with a smile: "You guys are blessed. I received news that the banished immortal has arrived outside Xianyang City. Today, you can see the real immortal."
Xiang Yu and others were all excited and gearing up.
Wang Laoshi said to them again: "The banished immortals love honest people. If you want to enter Shangjun's courtyard as a guard, don't act too cunning."
Xiang Yu and others nodded repeatedly and tried their best to show honest smiles.
