Evening, after dusk.
This is the busiest moment of the day at Longteng Inn. In the lobby downstairs, almost every square table is filled with guests. The waiter is so busy that he is sweating profusely and his voice is a little hoarse.
At this moment, another guest came in at the door of the inn.
This man has a handsome face and a slender figure. He is dressed in a red robe and exudes a gentle and jade-like temperament. People will have a good impression of him at first sight.
"Waiter, bring me a jug of good wine."
He handed the horse he was holding to the waiter at the door, then stepped in and spoke to the waiter who was greeting the guests.
The waiter looked troubled and said, "Sir, the downstairs is full now. But there is still some space in the private rooms upstairs. Look..."
"It doesn't matter, then arrange a quiet place for me..." The man in red smiled faintly, showing a rather gentle smile.
"Hey... okay..."
The waiter smiled happily and led the man upstairs.
Upstairs, there are several extremely quiet rooms.
There is even more melodious sound of the piano lingering around, giving me a sense of elegance throughout my life.
The waiter led the man in red around the floors, but a little embarrassment appeared on his face again, "Sir, I didn't expect that the private rooms are almost full. Now there is only one vacant seat in Wenyuan Pavilion. , just one of the guests..."
The man in red was curious when he heard this and asked: "What happened to the guests inside?"
The waiter was in trouble for a long time and whispered: "The guest inside... has a weird temper."
"Oh? Weird?"
"Yes. He has been sitting there for a long time, but he didn't even order a dish, only a pot of tea. And he didn't allow anyone to disturb him. If he pushed the door open without permission, he would beat them up."
"oh?"
The curiosity in the eyes of the man in red became more and more intense. He looked at the closed door of the private room and said with a smile: "This is quite interesting. Are you just going to the inn and restaurant to drink tea? You don't allow others to enter casually?"
"Yeah." The guy nodded.
"I really want to meet this weirdo." The man in red smiled again.
The clerk hurriedly pulled him, "Sir... I advise you not to mess with this weirdo. Although this guy has a weird temper, he is very powerful. There was a guy who didn't believe in evil before, and he threw him directly from here."
"What? From here? Second floor?"
The man in red opened his eyes wide, and disbelief flashed across his eyes.
"Yes! So, sir, we'd better not mess with him." The guy advised.
"But didn't you say that there is only one empty table here?" The man in red looked at the waiter with a big smile.
The guy suddenly came to a conclusion.
The man in red smiled again and said: "Besides, I usually like to make friends with these weird but powerful people. After hearing what you said before, I really want to meet this weirdo."
The guy wanted to say something else, but was stopped by the man in red waving his hand.
"Okay! You don't have to worry about me. All you can do now is go downstairs and prepare a jug of good wine and some good dishes for me, which will be served later."
After saying that, the man in red directly opened the door of the private room.
When he opened the door, he felt an extremely strong internal force coming towards him.
Seeing this, the man in red did not dare to neglect, and the body-protecting Gangqi appeared directly. He pushed his right hand horizontally and cut out a fiery sword light out of thin air, which collided with the internal force in front.
Bang...
The sound of a sonic boom suddenly came, and the violent wind suddenly swept in all directions, but strangely, everything in the room remained motionless under the raging wind.
"This is..." The man in red's expression changed, and at this moment, he saw someone.
A man sitting behind a square table, drinking alone with a glass of wine.
This man was wearing a hat on his head and his face could not be seen clearly, but the moment he raised his head, the man in red's heart suddenly tightened.
There seemed to be two sword-like gazes, shooting straight out from under the dark hat and piercing his body.
"Being able to take my blow, it seems that the one who comes this time is not a pig, dog, cow or sheep."
After hearing this, the man in red smiled slightly in surprise, clasped his fists and said, "Then I wonder if Huo is qualified to come in?"
"Of course, I am here just to wait for you. If you are not qualified to come in, then no one in this world is qualified to enter." The man said.
Hearing this, the man in red was slightly surprised and said: "So, you are waiting for me specially?"
"Not bad." The man nodded.
"But it seems that Your Excellency and I are strangers to each other."
"Ha ha……"
The man burst out laughing and said, "That's wrong. You and I are indeed strangers, but I know you."
The man in red looked slightly moved. No words were spoken.
"You don't believe it?" the man asked.
The man in red nodded, "It's hard for me to believe that you are talking empty-handedly."
"So you want me to provide evidence. It seems that after you became an official, you started to speak like an official." The man smiled.
The man in red was shocked at first, then shook his head, "This has nothing to do with whether I am an official or not. I just simply can't believe you."
"Okay! If that's the case, then I'll give you enough evidence to convince you."
"Please." The man in red stretched out his hand slightly.
"Are you going to see Feng Wang Jiangu when you come out this time?" the man suddenly said.
After hearing these words, the man in red, who had always been calm, finally changed his expression.
He came out this time to find the Wind King Jian Gu. Because he wants to find someone. And in the world, there is no one whom Feng Wang can't find.
"It seems that you do know me. Not only do you know me, but you also know the purpose of my trip clearly." The man in red sighed and looked at the expression of the person in front of him with a hint of vigilance.
"You seem nervous?" The man smiled.
"Facing a person I don't know, but who knows my whereabouts and purpose very well, I can't help but be nervous." The man in red smiled bitterly.
"Haha... don't worry, I don't mean any harm. I just want to tell you that there is no need for you to go to the Wind King to see the valley." The man laughed, and then said to the man in red.
Hearing this, the man in red suddenly changed his expression.
But immediately, he returned to his previous calm demeanor and asked, "Oh? Why?"
"It's very simple. Looking for Feng Wang to see the valley will not help you in the slightest. On the contrary, it will go in the opposite direction." The man smiled.
Hearing this, the expression of the man in red changed drastically, and he looked at the mysterious man in front of him with a bit of hostility involuntarily.
The man smiled again and said: "You can rest assured, I am not hostile to you at all."
But the vigilance in the man in red's eyes did not weaken for a moment. He looked at the mysterious man and said slowly: "If you can't come up with a reasonable explanation to support your statement, it will be difficult for me to believe you."
"Haha... It's a pity that I can't come up with an explanation. However, you can take this sentence back to Jiulong Mansion intact, and then someone will naturally tell you whether my words are worthy of belief."
After the mysterious man finished speaking, his entire body turned into an afterimage, passing through the window of the elegant room.
The man in red wanted to stop him, but when he came to the window, the man had already disappeared.
It just so happened that at this moment, the waiter who had just been ordered by him to prepare the food and drinks opened the door and came in.
When he saw the man in red was the only one in the room, he was stunned. "Sir, where is that weirdo? Why is he missing?"
The man in red shook his head and accidentally saw a few taels of silver lying on the table where the man was drinking tea.
So he smiled and said: "He left in an emergency. This is the tea money he left."
The clerk scratched the back of his head and said in confusion: "He left, but I didn't see him go downstairs."
The man in red smiled, looked out the window, and sighed: "How can a person like him only leave by taking the stairs?"
The guy was shocked - how could he leave if he didn't take the stairs? Could it be that he still flew out of the window in this room?
He then thought, maybe that person left when he wasn't paying attention. Anyway, the tea price has been paid, and people are free to leave or not, so there is no need for him to care so much.
At that moment, he said something to the man in red and left directly.
In the private room, only the man in red was left.
I saw him pouring a full glass of wine for himself, and while drinking, he was thinking in his heart - should he take those words back with him according to what the man said?
