Taiping Inn

Seeing this scene, Li Xuan had to sigh in his heart that he seemed to be particularly destined to be with two kinds of people. One was the one who opened the Taiping Inn, and the other was the Qingluanwei who specialized in the Taiping Inn.

However, Liu Chen had just said that Taiping Inn is an invisible guarantee because it has the name of Taiping Sect. It is reasonable that Qingluan Guard will choose to settle here. It is really dare to ignore the name of Taiping Sect. The fights in Taiping Inn, whether it is Zhang Qingshan, Bai Rushuang, or Su Yunjiao, are all from Zhengyi Sect and Cihang Sect.

Qingluanwei entered one after another, and at the end were two white-faced men, one was a little older, probably forty-year-old, wearing a python robe, and the other was a little younger, in his early twenties. The purple robe worn by ordinary eunuchs.

When Li Xuandu was in the imperial capital, he hated dealing with a kind of person the most, that is, the eunuchs in the palace. If he read it correctly, these two should be people in the palace.

People often have misunderstandings, thinking that eunuchs are eunuchs, but in fact they are not. Just like when people see people wearing armor and robes, they call them generals regardless of whether they are the generals or generals, in fact, eunuchs are the most respected among eunuchs. In the strict court, not everyone dares to put the word "eunuch" on their heads. There are nearly 10,000 eunuchs in the imperial capital, and only thirty people can be called eunuchs.

After careful calculation, there are twelve prisons, four departments and eight bureaus in the deep palace of the imperial city, collectively known as the twenty-four yamen. According to the law, only the eunuchs in the 24 yamen can be called eunuchs, and the lower ones are set up There are few eunuchs on the left and right, plus the pens of several people in the Sili Prison, as well as the supervisors of the Maritime Bureau and the Weaving Bureau in various places, as well as the eunuchs in various places, there are no eunuchs who can be called eunuchs.

Among the twenty-four yamen, the head of the ritual supervisor is the most powerful. The eunuch in charge of the seal is just a fourth-rank official position, but he holds the power to criticize the winner, which corresponds to the power of the cabinet's chief minister and is known as the inner minister. The chief of the Sili Supervisor, Bingbing, had the position of admiral Qingluanwei, which was the governor who once made people in the world frightened. The "Wan Willow Fight" in the inner court is actually a dispute between the eunuch in charge of the seal and the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor and the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor.

If you can let Qingluan guards guard, it can be seen that the eunuch's status will not be too low. If the eunuchs leave the capital, they are mostly responsible for the orders of the inner court, but I don't know if they are one of the more than thirty eunuchs.

The moment the great official in a python robe slowly walked into the inn, the atmosphere in the inn had a brief stagnation. No one spoke or a sound, and everyone was motionless, like a static painting.

Li Xuandu and Liu Chen made the same choice at the same time, which was to restrain their aura and suppress their cultivation to the roughly Baodan realm.

When walking in the world, you cannot easily reveal your bottom, so you must pay attention to the matter of "eyeight". Being able to see through other people's background is considered a skill. If you can't see through, act carefully and don't easily cause trouble.

Then with the boss's chuckle, everything became vivid again. The shopkeeper held the lights and dispelled the haze in the house. The shopkeeper's wife dragged her heavy body and smiled to greet the guests. The shopkeeper was still standing behind the counter, but she was no longer like a ghost and no longer had a glimmer of light in her eyes. .

One of the Qingluan Guards with a sword took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Qingluan Guards handle the case, and the idle people are avoiding it. We Qingluan Guards have booked this inn and then prepared three tables of wine and food for us. If it is done well, There are many rewards."

If it were the Qingluan Guards of the early years, they didn’t have to speak on their own initiative. The people in the inn had already escaped, but the Qingluan Guards now were just a little bit less interesting. In addition to those who were wearing single clothes in this early winter. The "hero" was a little hesitant, and the remaining few tables were treated as windy, and there was no intention of getting up and leaving.

The shopkeeper who had been standing behind the counter was lukewarm towards these big-name Qingluan Guards, without being attentive to please, nor did he look at each other coldly. He heard Qingluan Guards say this and slowly said, "Let's open the door to welcome them." Customers, regardless of the high or low, we do the business of the court, and we do the business of friends in the martial arts world. We do it too. There is no reason to drive away another group of customers because of one group of customers."

Qing Luanwei, who had spoken before, suddenly couldn't hold his face, and he reached out and pressed the handle of the knife around his waist.

The great official in a python robe waved his hand, stopped the Qingluan Guard's movement, and said in a sharp voice: "The guest is at your disposal. Since the shopkeeper has spoken, we cannot break other people's rules. As I said, there are more people, and they also seem popular and lively."

The boss’s wife smiled and said, “Just as long as you are considerate.”

The eunuch went straight to the table in the center of the inn and sat down. No one in the Qingluan Guards dared to sit at the same table with him. A young eunuch standing beside him ordered: "Go up quickly." Wine and food.”

The boss's wife hurried to the kitchen to work.

The middle-aged eunuch suddenly looked at the middle-aged man with a distinct military mark on his body and asked softly: "It seems that he has seen you somewhere?"

The middle-aged man with a calm and composed state slowly said, "I am a man from the world, but I don't meet you anywhere. Maybe there are some, but most of them are chance meeting you meet you."

The eunuch still stared at the middle-aged man: "A man from the Jianghu? Not necessarily. Why do we see you as a man from the court?"

In an instant, the atmosphere of the inn became solemn again.

There was only the sound of the kitchen knife chopping board coming from the kitchen.

The middle-aged man did not speak, and the middle-aged eunuchs did not speak. The couple of gods seemed to be left without anyone else, leaving only four men in single clothes at a loss and didn't know what to do.

At this moment, someone suddenly said, "Boss, I changed my mind again. Let's have a pot of wine. In the winter, drinking some wine can warm the body, but I want the best Huadiao, not the one with water. If the wine is not good, I won't pay."

The innkeeper said in a wooden tone, "Don't worry, sir. Although our store is small, we are honest business. We will never do such a wicked thing as adding water to the wine."

While speaking, the innkeeper had already opened the large wine jar behind him and scooped out a pot of wine from it.

This interruption broke the solemn atmosphere in the inn, but everyone looked at the person who spoke. He was a middle-aged man. It seemed that he had been in the rivers and lakes for a few years. He could barely be called a young man. He carried a long sword wrapped in cloth. He didn't see much difference from ordinary people. But the woman sitting next to him looked quite good.

The young eunuch standing next to the middle-aged eunuch frowned, and his body subconsciously tensed.

Although he is not very old, he has been working in the Qingluan Guard for many years. He has seen a lot of people from all walks of life in the world, including masters of the Return to Truth Realm. However, he still cannot see through this person's depth.

Li Xuandu looked at the young eunuch and smiled slightly.

The young eunuch clenched his fists suddenly, but he still suppressed the murderous intent that suddenly surged in his heart.

Li Xuandu is very sensitive to murderous intent, thanks to his experience in Jiangbei in his early years. At that time, he might encounter a long-ambushed attack in any place he passed by, in a ruined temple, in a dense forest, in a busy city, and in an inn. Although the young eunuch thought he was very well hidden, he still couldn't hide it from Li Xuandu, but Li Xuandu didn't mean to care. He was more interested in what the two eunuchs wanted to do.

If nothing unexpected happens, these two people should be the chief scribe Liu Yi's men. If they also come for Qin Xiang's matter, then things will become more complicated, because this will involve the Queen Mother behind Liu Yi.

The middle-aged eunuch has always ignored this episode, still staring at the middle-aged man, and said sinisterly: "Even if you are a Jianghu man, the whole world belongs to the king, and Jianghu people are also the people of the Great Wei Dynasty."

The middle-aged man said: "I don't know what the eunuch means."

The corner of the middle-aged eunuch's mouth curled up: "This time, our family left the capital in accordance with the imperial edict of the Silijian to arrest the court prisoner Qin Xiang. I wonder if you know Qin Xiang?"

As soon as these words came out, the four men with military marks all changed their faces and subconsciously pressed the hilts on their waists.

At the same time, all the Qingluan Guards also pressed the hilts on their waists, murderous.

The middle-aged eunuch smiled grimly and said in a shrill voice: "You are indeed the remnants of Qin Xiang. What? Do you still dare to rebel?"
