Chapter 203 Seeing Anlu Mountain Secretly
Chapter 214 Seeing Anlu Mountain Secretly

Zhang Xuan indeed brought Hua Nuer, Nan Jiyun and others into Puzhou City in micro-clothes.However, he didn't have any "intention", but purely to browse the customs, and at the same time, he also went to the city to find an inn to take a hot bath, and a restaurant to eat and sacrifice the bird's beak.

Hua Nuer naturally followed with joy, while Nan Jiyun, under Feng Changqing's order, led more than a dozen sturdy soldiers disguised as businessmen to protect Zhang Xuan into the city.

This Puzhou City can only be said to be a small place in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.In other words, it is a not-so-large prefecture under the rule of An Lushan, the governor of Fanyang, which is not well-known.

But for Zhang Xuan, this place is like thunder.Now that you are here, it would be a great pity in your life not to take a tour!
This place is famous because of a poem written by Wang Zhihuan: Climbing the Guanque Tower.

"The Yellow River flows into the sea in the daytime. If you want to be a thousand miles away, you can go to the next level."

This is a famous sentence through the ages, and later generations have given it a very high evaluation.And the author Wang Zhihuan is a person of this era, as famous as Gao Shi, Wang Changling and others.

The "Stork Tower" in this famous sentence through the ages is at the ferry of the Yellow River outside Puzhou City. How could Zhang Xuan pass through the gate and not enter.

Strictly speaking, this city is not that big, but it is located at a traffic hub.Zhang Xuan walked alone in the front, Nan Jiyun and Hua Nuer followed closely behind, and finally came the dozen or so strong men disguised as soldiers, and the group dressed as merchants.

Crowds of people are passing by, and there are many shops on both sides of the street, which is a bustling scene.

Zhang Xuan's eyes were strange, and based on his first impression, he concluded that the city's prosperous business and dense population showed that the local officials were very talented.Not necessarily a clean official, but certainly not a mediocre official.

Zhang Xuan stopped, smiled at Nan Jiyun beside him, "Nanba, let's find a place to have a meal first, and then find an inn to stay and rest for a day. I will take you out of the city for a tour tomorrow morning." Guanque Tower and Yongqing Temple."

"Yes, my lord." Nan Jiyun bowed and smiled.

Not long after, a group of people randomly walked into a restaurant that looked quite large.

There were a lot of drinkers in the restaurant, and the lobby on the first floor was overcrowded and noisy.

Seeing Zhang Xuan frowned, Nan Jiyun hurriedly greeted the waiter from the store, "Second brother, do you have a quieter private room, my son-in-law wants to eat and drink!"

The people in this chariot and horse shop are the most good at observing words and demeanor, and the waiter saw that Zhang Xuan was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with extraordinary momentum, and he had so many followers, so he guessed that he was the son of an official official or a wealthy merchant.

"A few guest officials, please go to the second floor. There is a private room upstairs. Please, please!" The waiter in the shop led the way with a smile, and Zhang Xuan and others followed. However, except for Nan Jiyun and Hua Nuer, the rest All of his entourage stayed in the lobby on the first floor, found a random place, ordered some wine and food, and waited for Zhang Xuan and the others while eating.

……

……

When An Lushan came to Puzhou, Li De, the governor, could not be negligent. Although An Lushan repeatedly emphasized not to make any noise, if someone cared about it, he would have noticed that since yesterday afternoon, the guards of the governor's mansion have become extremely strict. The yamen's arresting servants appeared on the surrounding streets openly and secretly, and no one else was allowed to pass.

Li De went to the military camp outside the city to meet Zhang Xuan but failed, so he returned angrily. After reporting back to An Lushan, An Lushan didn't get angry, but said that he was not in a hurry. Camping outside the city, it is said that they will not be able to leave within three or two days.

Coincidentally, just as Zhang Xuan and the others went up to the second floor of the restaurant called "Daiyuelou", An Lushan followed suit, accompanied by Li De, the Governor of Puzhou, and two attendants.

The waiter in the shop was very talkative and introduced the local customs and customs of Puzhou to Zhang Xuan and others while leading the way, and even praised his own food and wine.

"My lord, by your accent, you should be from Chang'an, right?... Hey, although our Puzhou city is small, it is certainly not as good as the capital of the emperor, but when it comes to food and snacks, we are not boasting , Puzhou is very famous. Our Taiyue Tower is also a famous big wine shop in Puzhou City, such as those that run on the ground, swim in the water, fly in the sky, and grow in the mountains. As long as the guest officials want to eat, we can eat here Yes, and it can make beautiful and fragrant patterns..."

Xiao Er's mouth is very fast. In this short time, he has introduced the signature dishes of Daiyuelou in detail, and it is not boring.

Zhang Xuan looked at the second child with some amusement, and laughed, "The second brother is really eloquent. Well, don't brag, we don't order food anymore, you choose the most famous dish in Daiyuelou Give me a few, and a jug of wine."

"Nanba, reward."

Nan Jiyun smiled, took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and stuffed them to Xiao Er.

"Thank you, my lord, for your appreciation. My lord, please come first, and I will come right away, and I will guarantee your satisfaction." Xiaoer happily went downstairs to serve wine and food, while Zhang Xuan and the others entered the room.

After entering the room, Nan Jiyun didn't dare to take a seat and stood on one side.

Zhang Xuan smiled, "Nan Ba, there are no outsiders at the moment, sit down and talk, don't meet me like this."

Nan Jiyun hesitated for a moment before bowing deeply to Zhang Xuan, "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, I will obey orders."

But Hua Nuer didn't wait for Zhang Xuan to speak, knelt down beside Zhang Xuan, took out two sets of tea sets from the package she carried with her, and wiped them one by one with a soft cloth under the gaze of Nan Jiyun's astonished eyes, and then I made two pots of tea with the boiling water just brought up by the store, one pot for my own use, and the other pot was placed in front of Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan glanced at Hua Nuer, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This woman is really different, she never forgets to "enjoy life", and the little days are getting more and more nourishing.

Nan Jiyun didn't quite know about Hua Nuer's origin, but only knew that Hua Nuer was an extraordinary skill, was born in the Jianghu, and was Zhang Xuan's female bodyguard.

From Nan Jiyun's point of view, Hua Nuer is actually not decent at all, and has lost her duty as a maid and guard, but since Zhang Xuan, the master, doesn't say anything, he can't make irresponsible remarks as a general. .

Perhaps because of Zhang Xuan's bounty, the little girl served the food very quickly, and her attitude was very attentive.

After the dishes were served, he didn't leave, and stood outside the door, ready to serve at any time.

Just as Zhang Xuan was about to move his chopsticks, Hua Nuer took out a soft cloth from behind, dipped it in hot water, carefully wiped his chopsticks in front of the table, and then wiped his own, as for Nan Jiyun's, there was no Tube.

Immediately afterwards, Hua Nuer took out another silver needle and tried the dishes one by one, and then signaled to Zhang Xuan that it was time to start.

Zhang Xuan shrugged helplessly, while Nan Jiyun smiled wryly and embarrassed.

……

……

It is said that there are three people at the same table, but Zhang Xuan is actually drinking by himself.Hua Nuer doesn't drink alcohol, but only drinks tea, and Nan Jiyun already feels a little flattered to be able to eat at the same table with Zhang Xuan, how dare he open his heart to eat and drink.

"Nanba, the taste of this dish is not as good as the waiter's eloquence, haha." Zhang Xuan put down his chopsticks and smiled at Nan Jiyun.

Nan Jiyun smiled respectfully, "Grand Governor, the words of this kind of villain are mostly exaggerated, just listen to it."

Zhang Xuan nodded and smiled, and was about to say something, when suddenly he heard an old hoarse voice from outside, accompanied by the crisp sound of fishing drums, "Sing Tao Qing, Puzhou ditty, one penny and one song!"

Immediately after, I heard the reprimanded voice from the second child, "Old man, who told you to come up? This upstairs is full of distinguished guests, so don't disturb them!"

"Little brother, let the old man sing and earn a few pennies to eat!"

"Go quickly, if you don't go, don't blame me for being rude!" Xiao Er said angrily in a low voice.

Zhang Xuan frowned, "Nan Ba, open the door, let him sing a song, and give him some money!"

"Yes." Nan Jiyun got up and went to open the door, glanced at the old Cangtou and Xiao Er at the door, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, don't quarrel, my son-in-law said, let him sing a song!"

"Old man, you take this little money."

Nan Jiyun took out a handful of copper coins and put them in the old man's cloth pocket.

"Thank you, guest officer, thank you, my lord." The old man bowed happily, then stood at the door to gather his composure, cleared his throat, and sang——

"Humanity is good, and I can't be too busy. Even if you don't care about wealth, you still want to go to the fairy island?... Clap your hands and sing, lamenting that the world is like a candle, laughing at life and death, what is the end? Vanity Fair is lenient Empty battle, full of poems and book debts, looking for alchemy. Ask sir when he will travel in the sea and sky? Let me say. The family is still there, but the family is hard to leave. The most important kindness is the love. Take off the name and return to the hut. Millet Dou Cheng Huan plows the green fields, and Shan Zun Jieshou carries yellow chrysanthemums. I will wait until I serve the white-headed man before deciding."

Although the old Cangtou sang up and down, his voice was hoarse and lacked confidence, and there was nothing pleasant to speak of at all.However, Zhang Xuan didn't mean it, so he didn't care about it.

At this moment, the door of the private room on the opposite side opened, and an imposing middle-aged man came out and scolded coldly, "Stop singing, don't make a noise! ​​Get out immediately!"

The old Cangtou hadn't reacted yet, but the waiter recognized at a glance that this was Puzhou's parent officer, Mr. Li Deli, the governor of Puzhou.He was startled, and hurriedly pushed and shoved the old man downstairs.

Li De glanced at Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan looked back at him expressionlessly, seeing that this man had an extraordinary demeanor, he was guessing his origin, but suddenly his eyes were fixed because he saw a familiar fat figure: An Lushan.

An Lushan actually came to Puzhou City?Zhang Xuan frowned.

He looked behind Li De. Obviously, An Lushan over there also noticed Zhang Xuan, and with a casual glance, his eyes twitched suddenly, and he also recognized Zhang Xuan.

The two had met before, and An Lushan was deeply impressed by this handsome young man with a calm temperament.

When the eyes of the two met, there was no spark, but neither of them moved, unable to sit upright.

A vague smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Xuan's mouth, while An Lushan cupped his hands in the distance.
