In the eleventh year of Hong De, Fengyun City.
Entering the city is full of chaos.
Carrying a butcher's knife and beating him from the street to the end of the street.
Lamely rushing out from the end of the alley.
If you are not careful while walking on the road, you can be hit in the head by swords, guns and sticks flying out of the air.
Scattered on the road were fruits and vegetables, vegetable baskets, bamboo baskets, fragments of clothes, large pig bones tied with ropes, and wooden sticks broken into two pieces, one end of which was stained with red blood.
Even the roadside shops are not in good condition, with collapsed stoves, messy tables and chairs, and the shop owner standing at the door of the shop with his arms crossed and cursing...
Ah Xian, "..."
Ah Xian, who considers herself to be very brave, grabbed her husband's sleeves and wanted to scold her, "My aunt has been a bandit for so many years and has never seen such a battle. The bandit village is not as exciting as this one. All the people living in the damn Fengyun City are... A bratty brat from the underworld?"
Under the protection of his wife, Huo Ziheng dodged the ripped cloth boots that fell off his head. His expression was as usual, he held his wife's slightly cold fingertips and smiled at her, "Don't be afraid, let's find a place to eat first. Are you hungry?"
A-Xian didn't want to admit it, but she was really a little scared.
She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. Although the people running back and forth on the street look funny, in fact, none of them are weak in martial arts.
Although she is a tiger, she is not without brains. With just a few glances, she can count how many people she cannot defeat.
She was afraid that she would be unable to protect Huo Ziheng with her two fists.
"Smelly man, I want to spend my whole life with you. I don't want to die young. I don't think this place is suitable for us. Before we mess with the big shots, how about we leave first? I'll give it to you after we get out of the city. Looking for something to eat?”
Seeing that the Tiger Lady was really scared, Huo Ziheng held her hand tighter and said softly, "If I dare to bring you here, I'm sure I can take you out well. A-Xian, trust me."
He looked at her and said again, "Don't be afraid."
He wouldn't put her in danger.
The man's eyes were dark and deep, calm and steady.
Ah Xian looked into those eyes and nodded without thinking.
He obviously didn't have the strength to restrain a chicken, and he was so weak that he could be pushed down with just one hand, but she just believed what he said.
The man smiled and pointed his eyes in a certain direction, "Someone has invited us to dinner. We can eat whatever we want later. You're welcome. It doesn't cost us any money."
A-Xian followed his gaze and saw a carriage speeding towards the other end of the street. It quickly approached and stopped in front of the two of them.
A young man jumped out of the car and raised his hands to Huo Ziheng, "But Young Master Huo of the Huo family in the Western Capital? Young Tingfeng is the guard of the owner of Wangque Tower. On the order of the owner, he came to pick up the young master!"
A-Xian's mouth twitched once, then again.
The cold fingertips are no longer cold at all.
Her man is really amazing. If she hadn't been with him twelve hours a day during this period, she would really have thought that he had communicated with that poster while she wasn't paying attention.
How did it come so promptly?
Huo Ziheng took A-Xian onto the carriage. The chaos on the street was isolated by the carriage, and the frightening hidden dangers seemed to be isolated as well. A-Xian relaxed all over.
After the two of them got on the bus, Tingfeng did not sit together in the carriage, but sat at the front of the car with the driver.
When there was no one around, A-Xian immediately whispered to the man, "How did you know someone would invite us to dinner? Didn't you say you've never been to Fengyun City? How come people can call you by your name just after we meet?"
His ears were itching, and Huo Ziheng tilted his head to the side. As soon as he moved, the woman gently grabbed his ears and pulled him back.
Huo Ziheng smiled helplessly and said in a low voice, "Because we are taking a boat from Pier 12. Two unidentified people are going to the Yongzhou Exile Place by boat. The captain will not sell us to the government, but will quietly check our identities. , this is not just for us, but for everyone who wants to go to the Exile Land. Once the captain finds out the information, the leader of the Twelve Pier Gang will naturally know it. If the gang leader knows it, he can't hide it from Wangque Tower, which is famous for its intelligence."
"...Any more?"
"Well...the third force that is eyeing the other two forces should also know our identity."
A-Xian stared blankly at Yun Danfengqing's strategizing man, and felt that the mountains were rising, and her man's image was so tall.
How could it be that from the moment he decided to take the boat at Pier 12, the man had already calculated what would happen next?
Divine fortune teller!
"Then why are they so polite to you?" A-Xian looked at her man with admiration and asked the last question.
The man answered seriously, "Because my handwriting looks good - ah!"
"Ha." A-Xian calmly retracted her hand and proudly raised her chin.
You stinky man, are you treating her like a fool? I'll kill you!
Wangque Tower is located in the south city of Fengyun City.
The three-story building stands out on the street. It is low-key yet luxurious. It is the most beautiful restaurant on the entire street.
It makes the dilapidated old buildings around it even more difficult to see.
It was just noon when they arrived. The building was full of guests and the noise was loud.
Tingfeng took the two of them to a private room on the second floor. When the wooden door with floral gauze was opened, there was no sound, and the scene inside the door jumped into their eyes.
There is a round table with carved pineapple wood in the middle, and the skirt of the table is decorated with mutton-fat jade.
A-Xian knew at just one glance that this table must be very expensive. She could sell it for dozens of taels even if she cut out the jade from it.
There was already a person sitting at the round table, with his back to the half-parted flower window, and the whole person was half-hidden in the shadows.
Wearing a luxurious Sichuan satin moon robe, her black hair is half-covered, her face is slightly feminine, her nose is straight and her lips are thin, she is extremely handsome.
When the door was opened, he raised his eyes and looked outside. He saw a pair of very special slender snake eyes. His eyes were cold and aloof. He was a person who was not easy to get close to.
"Young Master Huo, I have admired you for a long time." The man raised a corner of his lips, stood up and smiled to greet him. He just smiled and did not show his kindness. "Inviting the young master here like this is very rude to Wangque Tower. Fortunately, the young master appreciates me."
Huo Ziheng smiled lightly and led his wife inside. The wooden door behind him immediately closed.
He looked at the man and responded warmly, "Lord Bai, Huo is new here. I should be the lucky one to win the favor of the landlord."
Bai Xiaofeng was silent for a moment, chuckled, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation. This time his expression was more genuine, "I have always heard that the Huo family in the West Capital is the best in literary talent and strategy, and it turned out to be true when I saw it today. Bai has not introduced himself yet, Mr. I already know a lot. Without further ado, please sit down, both of you."
Huo Ziheng took his ignorant wife, who was not in the situation, to sit down generously. When he sat down, he nodded politely to Bai Xiaofeng, "I'm sorry, this is Bai Louzhu's territory. I have to trouble the landlord to serve some food. I'm so hungry after all the hard work of traveling all the way here. , Master, don’t make fun of me.”
Bai Xiaofeng was stunned again, and this time the laughter that escaped his mouth was really brisk, "Tingfeng, let the cook serve the food, the signature of the building must be included! Mr. and Mrs. Huo have a good taste of my Wangquelou's cooking art!"
Huo Ziheng held up his hands and said, "Thank you very much."
Still calm and relaxed, natural and generous, without any embarrassment.
On the contrary, Ah Xian, who prides herself on being shameless, quietly tugged on her husband's sleeve: After all, this is someone else's territory, so please keep it in check.
Huo Ziheng looked at his wife, "I'm hungry too."
Ah Xian, "Master Bai, please ask the cook to serve the food faster. My husband is not in good health and is often hungry!"
Mr. Huo smiled softly at the corner of his mouth, pretending not to be able to see the man across from him while he was exploring and evaluating.
His wife was hungry, so she had to eat first.
Face is not as important as belly.
Although he is a scholar, he is not noble and can be a little shameless at times.
