Taoist priest in the foggy capital

Chapter 732: The Master of Qingyu Tower

The fourth floor of Yulou is a place that only regular customers can "regular customer" does not mean that you can be considered a regular customer just because you have come here a few times, but you must at least not call the owner of the Jade Tower a regular customer. Only when you are disliked by the owner of the Green Jade Tower can you be considered a regular customer. This is a beautiful story and legend about the host and guest treating each other with respect. As for the fifth floor, it is said that even some famous officials and generals in the court could not go there. No matter whether it is money or force, the wishes of these nobles cannot be fulfilled. However, today Yin Xiu was invited by the owner of Qingyu Tower, which naturally aroused other people's confusion, envy and jealousy. Only Iron Hand Ye San knew that Yin Xiu was worthy of Qingyu Tower Master's doing this because he was a master among millions. Yin Xiu paused for a moment, and in response to the notice from the accountant, he just smiled and said, "Then please lead the way." "This way please!" The accountant did not dare to neglect. "and many more!" Liu Banxian called Yin Xiu, "What about me?"

Yin Xiu turned to the accountant and asked, "Did you call him?" The accountant smiled and said, "Mr. Yin, the landlord only invited you, not this gentleman." "In that case, you can stay downstairs. I'll be back in a moment." "You want me to stay here?" Liu Banxian turned around and felt that everyone's eyes wanted to eat him. "Master, don't worry. Since Master Li, there have been very few fights in this building." "rare?" Liu Banxian shouted, "What were they doing just now? Talking?" "Don't worry, don't worry." Yin Xiu pushed him back to the chair and said to the accountant, "Prepare another feast for Master Liu, and find a few more sisters to entertain him well." "do not worry." The accountants at the back had already taken note, so the man leading the way walked to the front and held out his hand. He didn't urge him to leave, but his action already showed his intention to ask him to go faster. So Yin Xiu followed him and walked up under his guidance. The stairs leading to the fifth floor seemed to be longer and more winding than anywhere else. After turning the third corner, the accountant stopped and motioned for Yin Xiu to go up by himself, and then he quickly left. So Yin Xiu went up to the fifth floor by himself. When he got there, he understood why the stairs here were longer than those below. This is because the fifth floor is not what it appears to be on the outside, but it has a hidden secret. It is a small but spacious attic. When Yin Xiu walked here, he saw rows of bookshelves that almost reached the ceiling. In the middle of the bookshelves on both sides, there is a passage for people to pass through, and a coffee table is placed on the empty space in front.

There was no one in the attic, but Yin Xiu knew that the owner of Qingyu Tower might just be hiding somewhere, secretly practicing his master style. So Yin Xiu didn't care about this and just walked over. When passing the gap between two rows of bookshelves, Yin Xiu caught a glimpse of a familiar, tall figure out of the corner of his eye, which made him stunned. I don’t know when it started, Ren Qi was standing there, staring at him. Yoon Soo glared at him, "Do you have to be so scary?" "I can't tell whether the people outside are human or ghosts now." Ren Qi folded his hands over his chest and said, "A lot of people are looking for me. It's always better to be cautious." Yin Xiu spread his hands, "Have you figured it out now?" "Clear." Ren Qi snorted coldly, "You are the only one who doesn't care if there is a trap upstairs. You just walk in when someone calls you, as if you are ready to be hacked to death by a dozen or twenty knifemen at any time." "Then aren't you afraid that I was also looking at you just now, Ren Qi?" "Do you see it now?" "I see it." Yin Xiu smiled, "Only the real Ren Qi would still have such a sour face after not seeing an old friend for several months." "Humph." Ren Qi folded his hands, "You are all right, isn't this what should happen?" Yin Xiu knew his temper, so she didn't respond. She just turned around and looked around, "Where is the owner of Qingyu Tower?" "do not know." "do not know?" Yin Xiu was a little curious, "Then how did you get up here, and how long have you been up here?" Ren Qi glanced at him and said, "Why, do you need someone to lead you up here? I came up here by myself. I heard that these martial artists were planning to hold a meeting to deal with me, so I thought that instead of letting them deal with me, I might as well deal with them myself. As a result, you two have been entangled with them downstairs, so I might as well wait until you finish your show before leaving." "So that's it." Yin Xiu smiled, "Then what do you think about the owner of Qingyu Tower? Is he here now? How much do you know about him?" "Don't you think you talk a lot tonight?" Ren Qi frowned, "I have never heard of the owner of Qingyu Tower, but this Jade Tower has existed in Tianjin for a long time and is famous for its wealth and magnificence. However, the best building in Tianjin in my mind has always been the burned-down Haihua Building. "

"Commander Ren's words are somewhat biased." Hearing a cold and clear voice, Yin Xiu and Ren Qi immediately looked to the other side. There I saw a slender man standing there, standing like a small tree. His face was half covered by an animal-shaped mask made of jade, leaving only his chin and lips under his nose exposed. However, just this half made him look elegant and resembling Pan An. Needless to say, such an outstanding person deserves to be called the Master of Qingyu Tower, and he also has enough courage and ability to build a building and set rules in Tianjin. The owner of Qingyu Tower walked forward slowly, waving a fan with his hands with distinct knuckles. “Yuhua Tower was indeed famous in Tianjin in the past, but it was opened by an outsider, so it only had a form but no soul, and it had no roots in Tianjin, after all, it had not been immersed in the water of the Nineteenth River. I'm sure you two also know that there is no such thing as a strong man who always wins. Even if Yuhua Tower is still there today, I would still dare to say that Yuhua Tower is even better." "I have no opinion." Yin Xiu never argues with others about such things. Ren Qi was even less interested, and he didn't care even if he was refuted. The owner of Qingyu Tower looked at Yin Xiu and said to him, "You are the first guest to come to the fifth floor in all these years." "In that case, this should be my honor?" "No, this is the glory of Yulou." He turned the paper fan in his hand over, and the pattern on the fan appeared. That is a Kirin painted in ink and wash. It has no shape but has its soul. It is a typical large ink and wash style. Because of this style, the Qilin is neither fierce nor majestic, and there is not even a specific impression. However, it is indeed unforgettable, hazy yet vivid. It was such a blurry unicorn that seemed to be running as the owner of Qingyu Tower waved his fan, and it was about to fall from the paper at any time, into the water, or fly into the sky. "Why don't you two take a seat first and I'll make you some tea?" "I only drink iced mandarin duck." "I don't drink tea." Yin Xiu and Ren Qi said this, but they pulled over chairs and sat down at the same time. The owner of Qingyu Tower smiled and floated to the other side of the tea table and started to boil water and make tea. His movements were very agile, whether he was washing the tea set or taking out tea leaves from the tea box, the hands of the Qingyu Tower Master appeared soft and steady. "I grew up in Tianjin and I know the situation there best. The water here is bitter and makes people feel uncomfortable after drinking it, so most people drink tea. At the very least, they will throw in a handful of tea leaves and a few jasmine flowers, not for drinking tea, but just to cover up the strange smell in the water. There are only a few wells in the east of the city that produce sweet water, which is the best for drinking. It is clear, sweet and dry. Yulou has reserved one of them, so fresh spring water is delivered here every day." As he spoke, the owner of Qingyu Tower poured hot tea into the cups in front of the two people.

Although Yin Xiu and Ren Qi sat down, they both had their own principles and did not touch the hot tea for a while. "Commander Ren, I have something I would like to ask you for help..." “I never do favors for other people.” Ren Qi had a cold face and rejected Qingyu Tower Master before he could finish his words. The owner of Qingyu Tower was not angry, nor was he stopped by his words. He just smiled and said, "Yujing, there is an expert in using swords..." He was obviously about to say something, so Yoon-su and Im Chil just listened quietly. "Some people say that he has passed away a long time ago and died of a strange disease. Everyone has seen his corpse. However, I learned from a secret channel that he is not dead, but hiding in the Forbidden Palace..." Those old monsters who live in the Forbidden Palace and are elusive? Ren Qi and Yin Xiu both read a hint of unspeakable mystery in each other's eyes. It seems that the owner of Qingyu Tower seems to know something. So Ren Qi said, "I met one or two of them when I was in the palace. No one knows how long they stayed in the palace." "But what I want to say is that he is a real sword fanatic. He has thousands of swords in his arsenal, but his favorites are the six fastest swords made by the goldsmith." Hearing this, Ren Qi's face changed. Yin Xiu also keenly noticed his changes. However, Ren Qi held back and just asked, "So, the bastard who issued the order to hunt me down and killed my entire family is the old monster hiding in the Forbidden Palace?" The owner of Qingyu Tower held his chin up and said, "Jade Tower is a place for buying and selling information. I have heard that this is indeed the case, but I have not yet figured out who it is." "If you want to know who he is, you have to ask De Wei first." Ren Qi's eyes flashed coldly, "So, what do you want me to do for you?" "Didn't you say that you never help others?" asked the owner of Qingyu Tower. "I didn't say I wanted to help." Ren Qi said coldly. "But actually, this is also related to you, because I want you to help me enter the forbidden palace and kill someone." "Who?" The owner of Qingyu Tower pushed a note to Ren Qi. There was a picture of a person's face on it, sinister and thin. Ren Qi recognized him at a glance, "The Imperial Court Official, Ji Liansheng." "Yes, that's him." The owner of Qingyu Tower nodded, "I would like to ask Commander Ren to help me kill him." Ji Liansheng is also one of the monsters in the palace.

Ren Qi once met him and was deeply impressed. "He's not my target." "But you'll always have a chance to meet him, especially when you go to Ouchi to kill that sword idiot." "why?" The owner of Qingyu Tower smiled and said, "Although I don't know who Jianchi is, I heard that he is a member of the royal family." "royal?" Ren Qi frowned, "If that's the case, then everything makes sense. Only a member of the royal family can call Di Wei." "Yes, if you go to kill that sword maniac, Ji Liansheng will come to stop you. I heard that he is a master of Tai Chi. Many years ago, his skills reached the highest level. He can even make a bird land on his palm and not fly away. This man should not be underestimated." "It doesn't matter." Ren Qi didn't care. "I wanted to kill Jian Chi, and Ji Lianhai came to stop me, so I killed him too. It's that simple." "Well, you are worthy of being the Leng Yu Ren Qi who once dominated Yujing." "That was in the past." Ren Qi snorted coldly. "By the way, why don't you ask me why you have to kill Ji Lianhai?" Ren Qi said coldly: "Killing people doesn't need any reason." The owner of Qingyu Tower smiled and looked at Yin Xiu again. "Master Yin, I have something that might interest you." Yin Xiu said calmly: "There are many things in this world that I am interested in, but I don't have to do them." As he said this, he glanced at Ren Qi and said, "I'm different from him. I don't have that many enemies." "I'm not your enemy, and I don't want you to help me get revenge." The owner of Qingyu Tower shook his head. "I was going to say that the Black Emperor's son has appeared in Yujing and was brought back by the Imperial Observatory's Imperial Master Dongfang Weilai." Now it was Yin Xiu's turn to frown. When they were in southern Xinjiang, they were finally a step too late. Dongfang Future got there first and took the Black Emperor away. This matter had already spread to Yujing, and Yin Xiu and his men had gathered in Tianjin just for this matter. However, except for a few related people, no one has yet realized that Yin Xiu is related to the Dragon Emperor's son. This made Yin Xiu feel threatened. So Yin Xiu didn't answer, but silently gave Ren Qi a look. Ren Qi knew what that look meant, and he silently placed his hand on the sword. The owner of Qingyu Tower was still completely unaware of this. He just continued to speak: "The driver of the Black Emperor is actually a woman."

"woman?" Ren Qi's hand left the hilt of the sword and dropped it under the table, because he could sense that Yin Xiu was interested. The transportation of the Dragon Emperor's son was an absolute secret. Even though all the civil and military officials lined the streets to welcome him that day, most people in Yujing actually didn't know what was in the carriage. Dongfang Weilai did not kill the driver directly, but took her back to Yujing, which was something Yin Xiu did not expect. But the owner of Qingyu Tower gave this important information. "Who are you?" "He's just an idle guy who runs a teahouse." The owner of Qingyu Tower said calmly: "Master Yin, Commander Ren, you don't need to care about my identity. As long as you know that we are not enemies, and we can still be friends, that's enough." "friend?" Yin Xiu grinned, "Interesting, you gave me this information, what do you want in exchange?" "It's not difficult for you, Master Yin." The owner of Qingyu Tower finally told him the purpose of inviting him upstairs. "I would like to ask you to rescue that woman and send her here."
