"This...Aunt Guan is good."
Li Yan didn't know what to say, so he had to hold his fists in response.
Memories from childhood came to mind. This woman was celebrating the Chinese New Year, and she was fighting with another woman at the door.
The other one seems to be named "Jing"...
Just as Li Yan was thinking wildly, the middle-aged Daoist nun calmly turned her head and said to Guan WanChe, "Let's go, the past is over and there is no need to mention it again."
"Also, my ID number is Zi Yuan."
Guan WanChe suddenly felt helpless, "Sister, why are you doing this? Forget it, Master Zi Yuan, let's go."
After that, he took his men and rode away.
Phew~
Li Yan was relieved immediately.
Sha LiFei was shaking with joy and said with a smile, "This one is easy to talk to, but the other two are really difficult to deal with. Yan XiaoGe, you should be careful, don't get stabbed by others."
Li Yan glanced lightly, "Talk too much!"
Sha LiFei quickly shut up when he saw this, but seeing Red Yaksha's puzzled eyes, he couldn't help but mutter and tell some of Li Yan's father's romantic affairs.
"Oh."
Red Yaksha understood immediately after hearing this, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he looked at the back of the Daoist nun who was walking away, and said thoughtfully, "I seem to have seen this Daoist nun before..."
Li Yan Qidao: "Know?"
Red Yaksha shook his head and said, "I often take errands from the Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect, and Tai Bai Mountain has been there several times."
"Just the year before last, I cooperated with the disciples of the Dipper Mother Palace to track down a Wandering Corpse and mistakenly entered the depths of Tai Bai Mountain. I happened to encounter a small hermit cultivator and worked together to kill Wandering Corpse."
"That small sect is good at Talisman Arrow Technique, and each one is an expert archer. According to the disciples of the Dipper Mother Palace, this sect was originally a descendant of the Da Xing Dynasty Divine Bow Camp, who fought with Golden Horde Wolf Country without falling behind."
"After the rise of the Great Xuan Dynasty, they hid in the mountains to practice hermitage. Their methods are similar to the Mount Mei Sect, but they are more proficient in talisman arrows."
"This woman was also among them at that time."
"Talisman arrows?"
Li Yan frowned, and suddenly remembered that Guan WanChe had indeed said that his sister had gone to Tai Bai Mountain to practice Daoism, and she looked like she had entered Daoism.
But if you don't practice on the mountain, why would you come to Chang'an?
Is it possible to join Commandery Commandant Office?
Of course, this thought only passed by for a moment.
Practicing martial arts, establishing a foothold in Chang'an, tracking down clues... He has so many plans that he can't afford to think too much about it.
Chang'an City Although the situation has changed now, and it is no longer the scene of all nations coming to Korea in the past, the habit of "the east is rich and the west is rich, the north is strong and the south is empty" has not changed.
Xingqing Palace In Chang'an City Northeast, all the yamen are basically concentrated there, while in the west, merchants and wealthy people gather.
The housing prices in these two places are astonishingly expensive, and they can often be found in large residential complexes, even though ordinary families are now eligible to purchase them.
But how can those who can gain a foothold there be ordinary people?
"Chang'an There are many inns."
Li Yan and several others were leading the horses, while Sha LiFei was chattering beside him, "I have a chicken-feather house and a carriage and horse shop. One is for the refugees to survive, and the other is for the people traveling from north to south to rest. Although it is cheap, Yan XiaoGe you probably don't want to live there..."
"There are also Jianghu brands, where there are more people involved in Jianghu. There are various news exchanges. People in Jianghu often get preferential treatment when they come to the dock..."
"There is also an ordinary inn, which is mostly occupied by outside merchants. The environment is good, but the price is a bit expensive. The trouble is that some yamen do not tolerate people's tolerance and often come to the house to complain. It doesn't matter. I really can't control them..."
Li Yan pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "We are not just passing by when we come to Chang'an City. We will inevitably have to deal with people on the road. If we stay at Chang'an City, we can also hear a lot of news."
"As for the brand store, I know one."
Red Yaksha, who was standing next to him, suddenly interjected, "The innkeeper has some friendship with me, so it can save a lot of trouble."
"The relationship is great, Hong Jie, where is the place?"
"Yong'an Ward."
"Is this the place?"
Seeing the signboard of Phoenix Inn from a distance, as well as the couplet at the door that reads "The Phoenix flies to convey good news, and the guests and friends are packed with words of affection", Sha LiFei was happy, "I have seen this restaurant on the Qinling Road."
"At that time, when I was sending the Yin people back to their hometown, they wouldn't let me in. I guessed that the owner of this shop was a woman, Hong Jie, right?"
"Hmm."
Red Yaksha also smiled and said, "She is from Fengxiang. Her family used to be a wealthy family in Fengxiang. Later, her family suffered a disaster, and she started a mountain in Chang'an. She has extraordinary means and can talk to me. Her name is Feng FeiYan."
Wang Dao Xuan Hearing this, he stroked his beard and said, "The phoenixes gathered in Qishan and flew over the Yong Mountain. Since then, Zhou has prospered. His name is quite important! This boss has established a foothold in Chang'an as a woman. She is definitely not an ordinary person."
Sha LiFei said happily, "I only know that her family Old Qin Wine does a great job!"
"That is."
Red Yaksha smiled and said, "After all, Fengxiang is here. There is no feast without wine, even a mouse can drink two taels."
"Hahaha..."
While they were talking, everyone had arrived in front of the inn.
Before I even got close, I heard the sound of three-stringed strings inside, and at the same time, an old and heroic voice came. "Put your head on the Yellow River, face to the sky, sing in the small river, shout in the big river, and roar for five thousand years!"
"Sir, you...Heroine Hong!"
Seeing a customer coming, the waiter came out to greet him. As soon as he said something, he saw it was Red Yaksha. He immediately smiled and stepped forward to lead the horse, "Heroine Hong, you are here by chance. The shopkeeper is asking you..."
As he said that, his eyes drifted towards Li Yan and others.
Sha LiFei suddenly had a bad memory and laughed and cursed, "What's wrong with you guys? The waiter at Qin-Chu Ancient Road's branch has dishonest eyes."
The waiter nodded and bowed, "Come back, guest officer, that's my brother."
Sha LiFei: "..."
Red Yaksha was delighted, "Take us to see Boss Feng, we can introduce some of our colleagues."
"Yes, Heroine Hong, please leave your horses to the younger ones. I will ensure that they are well fed to you."
The waiter in the shop was very attentive and quickly asked someone to take the horse away.
After following the waiter into the inn, Red Yaksha's expression quickly changed, and he became that cold and ruthless look that kept strangers away from him again.
There were some scattered people sitting in the lobby, including entertainers carrying long and short musical instruments, as well as fierce-looking warriors with slightly bulging temples.
It looks like they are drinking or chatting, but in fact their eyes are drifting quietly, and they are secretly guessing who they are.
Li Yan and others ignored it, followed the waiter up the stairs to the second floor, and opened a room facing the street on the east side.
"Shopkeeper, Heroine Hong is here!"
Li Yan looked up and saw that the room was elegantly decorated. There were ancient shelves on both sides holding porcelain antiques, and bookshelves filled with books.
There is a long platform near the window. A woman in green clothes is leaning on the platform, shaking the wine bottle in her hand, looking out the window leisurely, her fair neck showing a beautiful curve.
Li Yan sniffed, a little surprised.
I don't know how this aromatherapy is made, but it can remove odors and bad luck.
When she heard the knock on the door, the woman turned her head. She seemed to be quite old, probably in her twenties or thirties, but she was well-maintained.
She has an oval face, peach blossom eyes, and is charming with a hint of heroism.
She turned around, got up and sat down, with a smile in her eyes, "Hong Jie, I was thinking that you should have finished your errands. When the snow comes, I will definitely come to Chang'an for a drink. These are..."
"Haha, of course."
Seeing his friend, a smile appeared on Red Yaksha's face again, and he raised his hand and said, "Let me introduce you, this is Li Yan, Xianyang Xuanmen's rising star, this is Wang Dao Xuan Daoist Wang, this is Sha LiFei..."
After some introduction, the shopkeeper Feng FeiYan smiled and said, "Since Hong Jie brings friends, they must be good guys. Please stay here with peace of mind. If you have any questions, feel free to tell me."
"Hong Jie, you happened to be here, so please have a drink with me."
Li Yan and the three of them are all fine people. It was obvious that Boss Feng wanted to talk to Red Yaksha about something, so they immediately handed over their hands and thanked them. Then they were led by the waiter and walked towards the backyard of the inn.
Yong'an Ward, where Phoenix Inn is located, is not a place where merchants gather, so the land price is cheap and the area is not small.
Behind the inn, there is a row of small courtyards. It seems that some of the original city walls were blocked to create these courtyards.
"Guys, right here."
The waiter led the three of them outside a small courtyard to the west. While unlocking the door, he introduced, "This courtyard does not face the street, and it is quiet at night..."
After opening the door, Li Yan looked up and saw that the yard was not big. In addition to one main room, there were two Wing Room rooms, as well as a kitchen and toilet.
Under the old tree, there is a well.
Although it is small, it is very clean and has no peculiar smell.
Li Yan liked it at first sight and nodded. "Not bad."
"As long as the guest officer is satisfied."
The waiter handed the keys to the three of them, "If you want food or drinks, just ask and someone will bring them to you. You can heat the hot water yourself."
After that, he exited and closed the door.
"It's nice here."
Wang Dao Xuan smiled and said, "Last time I came here, I was very poor and lived in a carriage shop, but I suffered a lot."
Li Yan shook his head and said, "No matter how good it is, it is just a temporary residence. I want to practice Dharma Martial skills, and the Daoist master also has to practice Ancestor Altar. There are many people and it is inconvenient after all."
"Daoist Master, please come with me to City God Temple first, receive the Daoist certificate, and pay a visit to Daoist Luo by the way."
Sha LiFei smiled and said, "You guys go, City God Temple is very popular, I didn't dare to talk even if I went there, I felt so bad, I just happened to be wandering around, I went to the dental shop to find out what kind of house there is."
After making a plan, the three of them asked the waiter to tell Red Yaksha, then left the inn and went their separate ways.
After walking a few steps, Li Yan felt something. He turned around and looked around. He saw Boss Feng looking at them from a window on the second floor, holding a wine bottle.
Seeing that she was discovered by Li Yan, the charming woman smiled slightly and picked up the wine bottle to signal.
Strange woman...
Li Yan nodded slightly, then turned around and joined the crowd.
On the window, the innkeeper Feng FeiYan turned his head and said with a smile, "Hong Jie, your friend is young, but he seems to be very skilled."
Red Yaksha took a sip of wine, shook his head and said, "Xuan Gate People, don't make random decisions, they won't kill people randomly for money."
"Hahaha..."
Feng FeiYan pursed his lips and smiled, "Hong Jie Where did you think you were? Feiyan is just happy for you. You finally have a friend who can help you when things happen."
"Alas~"
Red Yaksha sighed, "I am getting a little old after all. I almost died this time, thanks to the help of these people."
Feng FeiYan nodded slightly, then his eyes wandered, "Something big has happened on the road recently, Hong Jie wonders if he has received the news."
"What's the matter?"
"Ancient Zhou Haojing City, something incredible was excavated near the old site..."
