As soon as he said this, Mu Aotie and others understood that they wanted Qingya to help with the work, but they didn't want to be blamed by Qingya afterwards.
Zhong'er instantly recalled the time when he met Yu Qing and lived together in the wasteland of the ancient tomb. At that time, he was in danger many times. If the young master hadn't saved the day every time, he probably wouldn't be alive now.
After that time, they basically never went out together again. The Feng clan didn't count that time. They went out to do things together after many years. She found that the young master was still the same young master, and he was still so capable.
As they were talking here, there was a knock on the door suddenly. Baili Xin went over to open the door, only to find that it was Xiang Haihua who came to the door in person. There was also Qing Ya who had left and returned. The people in the house naturally opened the door to welcome the guests. .
Xiang Haihua, who entered the house, looked around the room and asked everyone with a smile, "You are all used to it. If you have any deficiencies, please feel free to mention it."
"Very good, very good." Yu Qing replied on behalf of everyone. In such an expensive place, people are provided with free food and accommodation. How could he be picky? He could only say yes. After being polite, he tried to ask: "What does the master of the pavilion have?" Order?"
He thought it unlikely that he would come here to visit for no reason.
Xiang Haihua smiled and said: "I don't dare to tell you, I'm here to invite Tanhua Lang to the banquet. Prince Duan is here, you should know him. The prince is hosting a banquet in Haidu Palace tonight, and asked me to invite Tanhua Lang on his behalf." You go to the banquet.”
Yu Qing looked stunned, "Prince Duan is hosting a banquet and inviting me?"
Seeing his surprise, Xiang Haihua explained: "It is said to be the intention of the princess. The princess heard that you were in Amber Sea and told the prince to treat you well."
It turned out that this was what happened. Qing Ya, who had followed in, suddenly realized that he had just met Xiang Haihua on the road. After receiving the invitation to the banquet, he was a little unbelievable. Although he was famous, it seemed that he was not qualified enough for Li Chenghu to host a banquet in person.
Then I asked Xiang Haihua why he was hosting the banquet, and Xiang Haihua revealed a little that it was mainly to entertain Tan Hua Lang, and also invited other people by the way.
So Qingya followed over again, actually wanting to find out what was going on, otherwise he would be worried that the banquet would not be a good one. Only now did he realize that it was Tan Hualang's rumored princess who was the reason.
Yu Qing, on the other hand, was even more confused. Didn't Tie Miaoqing give him a sum of money to draw a line and no longer want to have anything to do with him? What does it mean to suddenly ask Li Chenghu to entertain him again?
Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Xianghai asked with a smile: "Tanhua Lang, you don't want to refuse the prince's banquet, do you? You can't make it impossible for me to do my job."
Yu Qing hesitated and said: "No, no."
Xiang Haihua took advantage of the situation and answered, "Okay, then it's settled." Then she looked around at the others, "There are also you guys, Mu Aotie, Baili Xin, and Lin Long. The prince said that you are together, basically They are also old friends of the princess. If the prince wants to entertain you together, you must come. There will be a car to pick you up before the dinner."
When she said this, she looked at Chong'er with her eyes. She became more and more curious about this person named "Lin Long" because when her father gave the explanation, he specifically asked the people who were invited to the banquet. This "Lin Long" must be invited in place.
The specific reason why her father kept it secret and refused to tell her.
She also clearly remembered her father's comparison last time. If Princess Chaoyang and Lin Long were in danger together, she would rather give up Princess Chaoyang than protect Lin Long.
She became more and more curious about Lin Long's identity, but her father wouldn't let her ask any more questions.
Seeing that Yu Qing had no objection, everyone agreed.
After the invitation was received, Xiang Haihua left. Everyone was still a little confused. Mu Aotie and the others also knew that Tie Miaoqing had already made a clear relationship with them.
"Is there any problem with this banquet?" Qingya couldn't help but ask more questions.
Yu Qing: "You don't have to go."
Qingya thought for a while and felt that Li Chenghu probably couldn't mess with him easily. After all, his background was there. He immediately shrugged, "Forget it, I was just looking for him." Then he turned to look at everyone, "Everyone, tonight See you." Then he left.
Several people in the house were confused, but there were riots in the streets outside.
Nanzhu, who was wandering on the street, had nowhere to turn to. He became a little numb after a long time. In his daze, he suddenly found that the pace of people walking around him had become faster. When he woke up, he realized that the atmosphere on the street was not right. There was some cursing and some mention of Amber Sea's temporary notice.
Notice? He immediately reached out and grabbed a passerby, "Excuse me, where can I see that notice?"
The man threw away his hand impatiently and said, "It's posted everywhere, go find it yourself."
Nanzhu couldn't help but rolled up his sleeves as he watched him leave. He didn't dare to do anything after all, but he cursed a few words, "What the hell, Master Qi, I've never seen anyone, you dare to play tricks with me, I’m the only one who keeps a low profile, Qi Ye.”
After scolding, he turned around and quickened his pace to look for it. Sure enough, as the man said, notices were posted everywhere. He found it quickly. With the weight of his body, he squeezed in and out of the crowd. Among the crowd of onlookers.
The notice is also simple. It just says one thing. From now on, the local area does not welcome outsiders without a fixed address in Amber Sea. People wandering on the streets of Amber Sea must be able to show proof of a fixed address when they encounter inspections, such as an inn room license plate. , those who cannot be retrieved will be expelled from the Amber Sea, and we will not be held responsible for any accidents that occur.
Anyway, at dawn tomorrow, relevant law enforcement officers will begin to enforce the notice.
Just when Nanzhu was about to yell and yell to vent his anger because he didn't have much money on him, unexpectedly, someone next to him started yelling, "It's ridiculous, this is cheating!"
Forget it, Nanzhu didn't care about losing his temper. Again, he didn't have much money on him, so he had to find a cheap inn quickly. He couldn't bear to stay in a cheap inn before, but now he has to let it go.
The problem is that even though he is cheap, he doesn't have enough money to live there for a few days. Most of the money he has is the wages earned from working as a coolie at the dock.
He now regrets that in order to please Bo Sang Sang, he spent all those millions in Jilu Mountain. It would be better to keep a little more on his hands. Taohuaju has also been drained by his illness, and he really can't afford it. Give him the extra money.
He didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that as long as he had the travel expenses to Amber Sea, it would be enough. Once he found Lao Shiwu and the others, he would naturally eat their food and sleep with theirs. He didn't expect it to be so difficult to find them at the time.
Thinking of the tension in his pocket, he immediately accelerated his search for the inn. Now he finally understood why the people on the street were in a hurry.
He had looked for a cheap inn before because he was short of money, but he didn't know that the cheapest inn here was not cheap, so he didn't stay there and simply became a homeless person. Now he was familiar with the road and headed straight to the destination.
When he arrived at the door of the inn, he found that a bunch of people were already crowded and shouting at the door. A row of waiters blocked the door and confronted them, refusing to let people in easily.
"For a shabby inn like yours, ten thousand taels a day is already too much. Now you dare to raise the price to a hundred thousand taels a day. I think you are crazy about money, right?"
"If we are willing to pay one hundred thousand taels a day, we can stay at Zhihai Pavilion. Why do we need to stay in this shabby hotel like yours?"
One of the waiters in the row said happily: "You are right. In the past, you could live in Zhihai Pavilion for one hundred thousand taels. Now, you can't live in the cheapest room in Zhihai Pavilion for less than one million."
"A million? That's nonsense."
"It's either nonsense or the people in Amber Sea are crazy about money."
The shopkeeper behind the row of waiters said loudly: "Dear guests, please stop blocking the door of the shop. You are free to stay and buy and sell voluntarily. No one is forcing you to do this. If you continue to do this, the shop will no longer be able to do business. Dear guests, neither will the shop. I'm willing to go through this trouble, but the island owner has officially issued an order. All transactions in the relevant sea area will be raised ten times. If the shop does not comply, it will be raided. Please be considerate and go to other places to have a look."
"The island owner gave the order? How could Xiang Luo Ce do such a thing? It's impossible, right?"
The person who had just found this place smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid it's what he said. The pastry seller on the street corner not far away actually sold an ordinary broken bun for a thousand taels. He almost got scolded to death."
"You won't die if you don't eat a thousand taels of ordinary steamed buns. Let the merchants keep them for themselves."
"You really can't say that. After all, most people's cultivation is not to the point where they can't live without food or drink. If the prices on this island are really going to be raised, I'm afraid there will still be many people who would choose the more expensive one. Cheap buns.”
"What is Amber Sea trying to do? While putting up notices to force everyone to spend money on accommodation, they are also raising prices tenfold. Isn't this trying to force people to spend money?"
"Force? What the hell, are all the people in the world fools? I think most of the people coming and going on the streets will be forced to leave here by them."
Hearing this, Nanzhu couldn't help it anymore and shouted loudly: "Amber Sea is doing this because it wants to eliminate itself from the world. Without ordinary people like us, there will be no prosperity. Without prosperity, there will be nothing here." The reputation will surely decline from now on."
He was also very angry. He had already visited Amber Sea and knew that this inn was the cheapest. He originally thought that with the fifty thousand taels in his pocket, he could stay here for at least five more days. There was still a chance of five days. Who would have thought that I couldn't even afford to live there for a day? It was so bad.
"Yes, he will definitely die from this world."
A crowd of people followed and shouted.
In fact, there is no point in shouting. The reality is here and everyone must face it.
After venting his anger, Nanzhu couldn't stay here forever. Nanzhu wandered on the streets again. Like most people, he faced the problem of leaving or staying.
I was short of money and couldn't leave. I couldn't find Old Fifteen and the others, so I wouldn't be willing to leave like this.
Just as he was hesitating, a voice suddenly asked, "Is it Mr. Nanzhu?"
Um? Nanzhu suddenly looked back and saw two men wearing Zhihai Pavilion clerk's clothes. He was a little surprised and confused. He didn't know how the other party knew his identity. He realized that he had been exposed and asked warily: "What's the matter?"
The person who asked the question said: "Prince Duan is hosting a banquet in Haidu Palace City tonight and invites Mr. Nanzhu to the banquet."
Nanzhu was surprised and blurted out: "Li Chenghu?"
The man nodded and said, "Yes, a driver will pick you up by then."
After saying that, seeing that Nanzhu didn't refuse, the two of them bowed their hands and said goodbye.
In fact, Nanzhu didn't agree. The reason why he didn't refuse was that he didn't react at the moment. How could Li Chenghu entertain him?
When he reacted and wanted to ask about the situation, he found that the person was gone.
Several questions immediately troubled him. Is it true? Why was he invited to the banquet? Should he go? Also, he didn't even have a place to stay. Where would they pick him up?
