After Tian Xiaoding and Zhang Xiaodie arrived at Tiansha City, they met a disciple of the Thunder Sword Sect on the street. They followed this person to the city lord's mansion in Tiansha City and saw the disciple of the Thunder Sword Sect walking into the city. In the main palace.
This makes Xiao Ding feel a little confused, why can the disciples of Lei Jian Sect freely enter and leave the city lord's mansion in Tiansha City?
In order to find out some information about the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Ding took Zhang Xiaodie and walked into a teahouse opposite the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. In the lobby on the first floor of the teahouse, you can just see the gate of the City Lord's Mansion opposite.
During the day, Xiao Ding did not dare to rush into the city lord's mansion. Moreover, he did not dare to use his spiritual consciousness to explore the city lord's palace.
Who knows how many high-level monks are in the mansion. If someone discovers the clues, then he will be exposed. How can he rescue Ouyang Qing?
Xiao Ding is always cautious in doing things. He will never act rashly before he is sure.
Xiao Ding also had a purpose in choosing to enter the teahouse. Teahouses are inherently places where individuals can talk too much. You might be able to hear some useful information here.
Seeing Xiao Ding and his wife walking in, the teahouse waiter immediately came up to him with a smile on his face: "Two guests, please come inside! I don't know if you two want to sit in the lobby on the first floor, or if you want a seat on the second floor. Where’s the private room?”
Xiao Ding nodded slightly and said, "Just in the hall."
In fact, with Xiao Ding's cultivation level, even if he wants a separate private room, he can still hear everyone's conversations in the hall.
However, Xiao Ding still felt that sitting in the hall would be more convenient for secretly observing the expressions, movements and demeanor of everyone in the room.
The shop assistant led Xiao Ding to an empty table, pulled off the towel on his shoulders, wiped it on the table, and then continued to smile and said: "Two guests, what kind of tea do you want to drink? "
Xiao Ding asked: "What kind of tea do you have here?"
When the shop clerk saw Xiao Ding's inquiry, he immediately became energetic. He said in rapid succession: "Although our shop is not big, we have all kinds of famous teas, such as black tea, green tea, scented tea, white tea, black tea, oolong tea..." There is everything. Among them, the best black teas are Qimen Hongxian Tea and Jinjunmeixian Tea; the best green teas are Xianluochun and Longtan Green Well; and the scented teas are naturally Calendula Splendor and Yudiexiang. ; The best white teas are Cedar Needle Tea and Pekoe Maojian; the best black teas are Puxiaer Bianxian Tea and Huaxuanshengjian; as for Oolong Tea, the best ones are of course Tushita Tie Laojun Tea and Suzaku Dancong..."
"Uh..." Xiao Ding heard so many introductions from the store clerk that he didn't know which one to choose.
But the shop assistant then asked: "I wonder what kind of tea you two guests would choose to drink? Of course, if you two are not satisfied with the ones I just introduced, I can recommend other ones..."
When Xiao Ding heard this, he quickly stopped the shop assistant and said, "Okay, okay, you don't need to continue the introduction, just bring us a pot of Xianluochun."
"Okay, please wait a moment, sir..." After saying that, the shop assistant went down happily. After all, Xianluochun is a famous tea on Tiankun planet, and brewing a pot of it is expensive.
After the waiter left, Xiao Ding sat on his seat and began to secretly observe the other tea guests in the hall.
There are a total of more than a dozen square tables in the lobby of this teahouse. Each square table can normally seat eight people, but if there is a squeeze, two or three more people can still be squeezed in. Therefore, Xiao Ding noticed that there were eleven people crowded around the table with the largest number of people in the hall. The clothes worn by these eleven people are completely consistent in style. At first glance, they are members of the same sect or a certain force.
Except for this table, there are not so many people sitting at other tables. Usually there are three to five people, or two or three people sitting at one table.
It was already afternoon, so the teahouse was not full of guests.
Some of the people who came to drink tea were residents of the city, and some were casual cultivators in the city. Only the eleven people on the table with the largest number of people have the highest cultivation level, and they are all monks in the foundation-building stage. The casual cultivators on the other tables are in the foundation-building stage and in the Qi-training stage. .
Xiao Ding
Sitting there with Zhang Xiaodie in silence, paying close attention to everyone's words and deeds in the hall.
After a while, the shop assistant brought the Xianluochun to Xiao Ding and the two of them, and helped Xiao Ding and the others fill their tea cups.
Xiao Ding picked up the tea cup and blew on it, then took a sip. He felt that the tea was sweet but not bitter, with a rich and mellow aroma, a sweet taste, and a fragrance that lingered on the teeth and cheeks, refreshing the heart.
It is indeed the finest fairy tea from Tiankun planet!
Although Xiao Ding doesn't understand tea ceremony, he can still tell whether it tastes good or not.
In fact, if you go to a teahouse to inquire about information, the probability of getting useful information is relatively low. It mainly depends on luck. Although Xiao Ding also understood this truth, he still chose to come to the teahouse. This is because coming to the teahouse to inquire about information is the safest and least likely to be discovered.
Besides, in broad daylight and near the city lord's palace, he couldn't think of any other better way than coming to the teahouse.
Most of the teagoers in the teahouse were chatting about everyday things, and there was no information that Xiao Ding hoped to get.
However, Xiao Ding was not in a hurry. He couldn't go to the City Lord's Mansion this afternoon anyway, so he might as well just stay in the teahouse all afternoon.
So, for this pot of tea, Xiao Ding repeatedly asked the waiter to add water, and he and Zhang Xiaodie kept drinking it. Later, the tea tasted really tasteless after brewing, so Xiao Ding took some Lingzhi chrysanthemum tea from his own Qiankun teapot and put it into the teapot, and then took some royal honey and added it into the teapot.
In this way, this pot of tea has a unique flavor.
It took me an hour and a half to sit in the teahouse. Tea-goers in the hall came and went, one group left and another came in. Although it was never full, there was no shortage of tea-goers.
Only the eleven people at the table with the largest number of people, like Xiao Ding and others, had been sitting in the teahouse all afternoon. Although there were many of them, they did not talk much. All of them had serious expressions on their faces and drank tea silently, as if they were waiting for something.
At the end of the application process, a middle-aged man wearing exactly the same clothes as the eleven people suddenly came in. As soon as he came in, he walked towards the tea table with the largest number of people.
When the eleven people sitting around the tea table saw the middle-aged man coming, they all stood up and greeted the middle-aged man:
"Brother, are you finally here?"
"Brother, how are things going?"
"Brother, is everything going well?"
"Brother, did the expert from the Tiansha sect you contacted agree to us?"
"..."
The new middle-aged man who came in waved to everyone, then came to the tea table, picked up a teacup casually, and didn't care who had used it, he put it to his mouth and drank it in one gulp...
Then he took a few deep breaths and said to everyone: "I met the expert from the Tiansha Sect today, but he heard that the daughter of our Lu family head, Lu Bingyuan, is Lu Nianuan, a disciple of the Red Flame Peak Yehuo Sect. He refused our invitation. He was mainly worried that interfering in our Lu family's family affairs would cause disputes between the Tiansha Sect and the Yehuo Sect. So he was unwilling to help us."
A short fat man on the west side of the tea table said: "Brother, if we want to seek the position of the head of the Lu family, then we can only rely on ourselves?"
A middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks opposite the short fat man said: "But, all of us together are no match for Lu Bingyuan, right?"
The man who came in later had no choice but to shrug helplessly and said, "I think we need to discuss this matter in the long term."
Another man at the tea table said: "No matter what, we can no longer let Lu Bingyuan be the head of our Lu family. He only cares about the interests of their direct line and has no regard for us, the collateral lineage. "
"But, Lu Bingyuan's daughter is a disciple of the Yehuo Sect of Red Flame Peak. With the Yehuo Sect supporting Lu Bingyuan, we can't defeat them, right?" Another person raised a question from the side.
Xiao Ding and Zhang Xiaodie stayed in the teahouse for almost an afternoon, and finally heard something about the world. But what the people at that table were talking about was still not what Xiao Ding wanted.
information.
Judging from the conversation tone of the people at that table, it seemed that they were members of the Lu family in the city. Because they were not satisfied with the head of the family, Lu Bingyuan, they were discussing how to overthrow the head of the Lu family in the teahouse. Although they mentioned the Tiansha Sect, the Tiansha Sect was not willing to get involved in the conflicts between their families.
Therefore, Xiao Ding seemed to be a little out of breath at this time.
At this moment, the middle-aged man who came in later suddenly said: "Don't be too discouraged. I heard that a sect from Fengluanzhou recently came to our Tiansha City. It seems that that sect is related to the Tiansha Sect. We have a very good relationship with him. Since we can’t hire an expert from the Tiansha sect, we might as well go find the sect from Feng Luanzhou.”
When the short fat man on the west side of the tea table heard this, he immediately became happy and asked quickly: "Brother, do you know the name of the Fengluanzhou sect that defected to the Tiansha sect?"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand to grab the sparse hair on the back of his head, and said thoughtfully: "I asked, that sect seems to be called..., what is it called..., the Thunder Sword Sect... Yes, it seems to be called this. name."
The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks on the east side of the tea table immediately said happily: "But, brother, we don't know who they are from, so how can we start a conversation with them?"
"this……"
Before the middle-aged man could answer the question, Xiao Ding suddenly saw four young people walking out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion opposite the teahouse.
Among the four young people, three were wearing Thunder Sword Sect clothing. Two of them were in the foundation-building stage and one was in the Qi-training stage. The other young man was wearing the clothes of the Tiansha Sect.
The four people walked out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and walked directly towards the teahouse...
