Yuan Mansion.
In the study, the head of the family, Yuan Xiu, listened quietly to Yuan Youcai's narration.
"The Lu family didn't reply, but when I left, the two members of the Lu family who had entered the Dao realm were both there, and it seemed that the two of them had not reached an agreement on Miss Lu Zhaoer's marriage, so there were still some disputes..."
Hearing this, Yuan Xiu waved his hand noncommittally.
"Now that a group of demons are entrenched in the misty forest, let's ignore the matter of marriage for the time being. Please go to the other three houses for me and tell me to come to my Yuan Mansion at noon tomorrow to discuss matters."
With that said, Yuan Xiu pushed out a letter next to him.
"Show this letter to the heads of the other three families and they will understand."
Yuan Youcai picked up the envelope with both hands, bowed and left quickly.
After Yuan Youcai left, Yuan Xiu's face suddenly became a little ugly.
"When Da Qin fell, all kinds of monsters and monsters popped out!" He put his hand on his chest, where was the sword wound left by Lin Ji. Although the vital part was avoided, there was still a faint pain at this moment.
That was the evil spirit from the Taoist Qingzhi Sword entering his body, and it was also the reason why Yuan Xiu surrendered without hesitation after being struck by the sword.
If Lin Ji hadn't held back, he would have died under this sword.
"If I had known that Lin Ji was so powerful, I shouldn't have agreed to that idiot Lu Guangshou. He has been at ease for a long time, and his mind is filled with stupid thoughts of fighting for power and profit. It is a great good thing that his family has many Taoist monks, but he still feels dissatisfied?"
Thinking of this, Yuan Xiu thought of the letter just now, and a hint of sarcasm suddenly appeared on his face.
"In today's world, even the demon clan knows how to write letters and invite people. It's really ridiculous! So what about a few demon kings? Do you really think that we are the only four aristocratic families in Weicheng? If this is really the case, why is Xuzhou so stable in Jiuzhou?"
】
"Heh... But this incident may make some people unlucky, but we have to plan carefully."
Yuan Xiu rubbed his chin and gradually fell into deep thought.
...
In the evening, the sky is getting dark.
The sea breeze with a bit of fishy smell enveloped Weicheng.
The lights in the city are brightly lit and the noise is no less than during the day.
In the inn, Lin Ji woke up from his sleep and felt refreshed.
Although he no longer needs to sleep, if he feels sleepy, he can circulate his spiritual power for two days and the fatigue will dissipate.
But he still likes to sleep, who wouldn't like it without him.
After closing his eyes and squinting for a moment, Lin Ji yawned while listening to the noise outside the window, and Shi Shiran went downstairs.
Seeing the shopkeeper behind the counter holding an abacus and making a crackling sound, Lin Ji asked casually: "Shopkeeper, are there any good places to go in Weicheng at night?"
Seeing that this was a generous customer, the shopkeeper quickly put down his errands and put a smile on his face.
"Guests looking for some entertainment? This is your question... Waiter!"
"Come on, come on!" The waiter's voice echoed in the back hall. He quickly opened the curtain and came to the front hall, bowed to Lin Ji, then looked at the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, what's the matter? "
"This man wants to find some entertainment in the city. You can lead the way. If you dare to neglect this man, I want you to look good!"
"Hey, don't you dare." The waiter responded quickly, then looked at Lin Ji and made a gesture of invitation, "Master, if you don't mind, will you let me take you around the city?"
"Then I'll trouble you, little brother." Lin Ji nodded and threw a piece of silver over.
The waiter caught it quickly, with a brighter smile on his face, and trotted out of the inn first.
"Master, go this way."
"coming."
Because of the reward, the waiter's attitude was extremely enthusiastic.
"Master, what are you looking for for fun? Weicheng has many good places at night. If you mention it, you won't be disappointed here."
"Oh? What if I want to go to Goulan to listen to music?"
"There are places like this in the city, but I have a lot of money to spend, and I guess I am not short of money... If you don't mind the trouble, we can go to sea, right over at the pier."
After hearing this, Lin Ji became interested.
"Why, what better place is there on the sea?"
The waiter smiled and said, "You don't know something. The most prestigious families in Weicheng are the four big families. Most of the big and profitable businesses in the city are controlled by the four big families. There is a boat on the sea called Brilliant. , and it is indeed magnificent.”
Speaking of this, the waiter's eyes filled with a look of fascination.
"Sir, please forgive me. I have only heard about it. It is said that above this magnificent place, there are so many beauties, all of them possessing unique skills. Especially the jade girl at the head of the brand, she is even more stunning in the world. If I could take a look at it, I would be the best in my life." No regrets.”
"Miss Yujiao?" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, the name sounded familiar.
Was the fox girl who guarded Xiao Changqing in the capital that day called Hu Yujiao?
The profession is also relevant, this foxy girl runs a brothel, and she made a big splash in Beijing.
It can't be such a coincidence.
Seeing that Lin Ji was distracted, the waiter on the side quickly called out: "Master? How about it?"
Lin Ji came back to his senses and smiled.
"You said it's so exciting, how can Lin have any reason to refuse? Just as you said, let's go to that magnificent place to gain experience."
"Okay, sir, please come this way."
Lin Ji followed Xiao Er all the way to the pier in the east of the city. He stood on the seaside and looked into the distance. He could already see a golden glow in the distance, which was the scene of lights illuminating the dim sky.
There is a boat next to the pier specially designed to pick up and drop off guests.
After the waiter said hello to Lin Ji, he went to negotiate with the boat. After a while, he came back quickly.
"Sir, it costs fifty taels of silver for a trip, and it will be the same amount when you come back."
"So expensive?" Lin Ji was a little surprised. Fifty taels of silver was enough for a family of three to live in Weicheng for three or two years, but here it only paid for one trip.
The waiter said in a low voice: "This is also Jin Jijinghuang's way of screening guests. It is the real gold selling cave. After going there, if you really want to play, even a few thousand taels will not be able to stop you."
"If you can't even afford the one hundred taels of silver for this trip, I'm afraid you won't be able to have much fun on the ship."
Lin Ji nodded and said: "Fifty taels, just fifty taels, it's all a matter of experience."
After receiving Lin Ji's consent, the waiter immediately nodded and led the way, and soon led Lin Ji to the side of the boat.
After sending Lin Ji to the boat, the waiter bowed and said: "I wanted to follow you to expand my knowledge, but I didn't open my eyes... I didn't dare to let you spend any more money, so I sent him there." Here it is.”
After saying that, the waiter bowed and wanted to leave.
Lin Ji thought for a while and then said, "Go on."
The waiter subconsciously turned around and saw a black shadow flying over. He quickly caught it with his hands.
"It's a reward for you, go ahead."
"Thank you, sir." The waiter grinned and bowed again quickly.
At this time, the boatman had already started to punt the boat.
The waiter watched Lin Jiyuan go, then lowered his head and looked at the hard object in his hand.
When he saw it, he suddenly looked shocked and quickly put it away. He looked around again and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was paying attention to his side.
"Good guy, a piece of gold!"
