With this idea in mind, Zhao Yan looked at the Longmen Inn a little differently.
It stands to reason that this Jin Xiangyu talent is also a talent cultivated by Guyu...
But this business philosophy seems to be overdone.
At least the spies in Xiaoyu Tower have never had any intention of getting close to the flesh business.
Not to mention Ren Yingying's disapproval, they themselves also have psychological barriers in this regard.
Over the years, the gold and jade placed here must have undergone many levels of influence.
Zhao Yan suddenly understood her. Over the years, her ideas must have been subverted again and again, and she had achieved this result after countless baptisms.
To be able to blend in to this extent in the vast Kurqi Desert, Jin Xiangyu must have ceased to be the Jin Xiangyu he was when he first left Prince Qi's Mansion.
Seeing the group of houses, the blue lake, and a small patch of green forest, the people in the caravan suddenly felt as if they had been pumped and their pace was much faster.
They have come here countless times, but every time they see this scene in the long yellow sand, they still feel moved in their hearts.
This building, which looks like a slum in a big city, is the merchants' greatest faith when facing life and death in the desert.
"Speed up your pace and arrive at Longmen Inn to rest for three days!"
The leader of the caravan stood up from the back of the camel and roared loudly.
Then, amidst cheers, the speed became even faster.
Zhao Yan could deeply feel the joy from the noise, and his own mood also improved a lot.
The "Wanxiang" around the waist tightens and loosens, seeming to express his emotions.
This is a magical weapon that can think independently...
The group of people soon arrived at the Longmen Inn by familiar routes, and then began to rest and recuperate in an orderly manner.
Everyone performs their duties. After all, the business is old, the roads are familiar, and the faces are familiar, so there is no problem in doing it.
Only Zhao Yan, like a young brother, suddenly lost his direction and could only wander around.
This place is no different from what he expected. Most of those who came here for Lingyun Cave have not arrived yet.
He walked around the complicated and messy corridors of the inn for a long time, and basically met all the stewards and guards from various big business houses.
Except for the occasional few who are third-grade or above, most of the others are ordinary martial artists with mediocre martial arts.
This is the true face of Jiuzhou Jianghu.
There are always rare masters in the transcendent realm. More than 90%25 of the martial arts world is made up of ordinary martial artists.
But when he wandered to the core area of the inn, he unexpectedly saw a master of the Zhixuan Realm.
On the roof of the main building of the inn, a man sitting drinking.
It was a handsome young man dressed in white, with waist-length black hair hanging loosely behind his back, and an exquisite long sword hanging from his waist.
The sword is long and beautiful, the color is golden rainbow, the whole body is red, and it is as bright as the burning part when incense is applied.
Golden Rainbow Sword…
Zhao Yan recognized this famous weapon at a glance.
The famous weapon of Song Zixue, the "Tian Yu Qi Sword" twenty years ago.
Back then, this man was also a famous hero in Kyushu, but he suddenly disappeared under mysterious circumstances only a few years after becoming famous.
There are rumors outside that he offended his enemies and was assassinated to death.
Some people also say that he was tired of the disputes in the world and lived in seclusion on his own.
There were various theories, and Zhao Yan didn't pay much attention to this person at first.
But after learning about the methods of the Immortal Society, he also wondered whether he was kicked out of Kyushu by the Immortal Society after entering the land of gods.
Unexpectedly, I saw Song Zixue's sword at Longmen Inn today.
From this point of view, Song Zixue's disappearance should have nothing to do with the Immortality Society.
"What are you looking at, Brother Yan?"
Zhao Yan was watching intently when Lao Han's questioning voice suddenly came from beside him.
After he finished his business, he hurriedly came to find Zhao Yan.
"Are you looking at Brother Fang?"
"Brother Fang? Is his surname Fang?"
Lao Han has been here many times and is very familiar with everything about Longmen Inn.
"Brother Fang Geyin, he has lived here for almost a year. Every time he comes back here, he lies on it and drinks. He is very skilled in martial arts for such a young age, but he is too lazy to do his job."
Old Han shook his head, took Zhao Yan's arm and walked inside.
It can be seen that he really has no interest in Fang Geyin.
From Lao Han's point of view, with such martial arts skills, why waste time all day long just killing a few sand bandits anywhere.
"Why does he live here?"
Zhao Yan was pulled by Lao Han's arm, and he started walking again.
He is now holding his breath, his super strong martial arts is completely covered up, he really looks like an ordinary person.
"Why? Of course it's for Shopkeeper Jin."
"oh?"
Zhao Yan said as if he had some realization.
Could it be that he is a pursuer of gold and jade?
This is the first time he has seen a man pursuing his subordinates after walking half way through Kyushu.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan suddenly came back to his senses.
Most of the girls in Xiaoyu Tower seem to have passed the best age for marriage...
Jiuzhou girls can get married in their 28th year, but almost all of the people in Xiaoyulou have already passed the Double Tenth Festival, so how can they be so young?
This age of gold and jade...
If I remember correctly, I should be around twenty-five, right?
In fact, this age should be a woman's best age, but it is a pity that Kyushu does not have such a concept.
"Shopkeeper Jin is as beautiful as a flower and has a great figure!"
"The most important thing is that he is super capable. What's weird about having a few suitors."
"Not only Brother Fang, but also General Na Ding's son is also an admirer of Shopkeeper Jin. He and Brother Fang have been jealous for a long time."
Old Han counted them one by one as if they were precious treasures.
Zhao Yan was secretly shocked when he heard this.
General Ding!
As far as he knew, the only person in Jiuzhou who could be called a general and had the surname Ding was Ding Congrong, the general of the Ming Dynasty.
his son?
I've never heard of this.
"Brother Yan, haven't you heard of Ding Ning?"
Lao Han paid close attention to Zhao Yan's reaction. Seeing his only exposed eyes showing brief doubts, he quickly continued to ask.
"I really don't know..."
Zhao Yan could only answer awkwardly.
Jiuzhou is so big, he can't keep everyone in mind.
Some celebrities and heroes of the past can be remembered after hearing them often.
The younger generation…
He himself is a leader in Kyushu, so how can he be interested in getting to know others.
"Then you should get to know him better. Ding Ning is known as the best swordsman in the world, and his martial arts skills are quite impressive!"
"The best swordsman in the world??"
Zhao Yan couldn't help but ask, his voice a little distorted.
Who are you, talking so loudly?
The best swordsman in the world...
Not to mention that Song Que, the Heavenly Swordsman, was dissatisfied, but there were also swordsmen who were worse than Song Que.
Where can a little-known youngster take his turn to rule the roost?
"Self-proclaimed, self-proclaimed, haha, but Brother Ding does have this ambition. His sharp sword makes him look good. As long as a master comes to Longmen Inn, Brother Ding will definitely go up and compete with him."
That’s okay too…
Zhao Yan shook his head slightly silently.
It seems that after staying in this desert for a long time, I really need to find something to relieve my boredom.
"Well, that's Brother Ding."
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the main door of the inn. Looking around, they saw that there were dozens of people sitting in the huge hall, but it still seemed very empty.
If it is full, this place can accommodate at least three hundred people dining at the same time.
And this is just the first floor of the main building.
There are two floors above, where even more people can sit.
Although there were dozens of people sitting in the lobby at this time, looking in the direction of Old Han's finger, Zhao Yan still recognized the number one swordsman at a glance.
Dressed in red, with short broken hair and a touch of vermilion between his eyebrows, he looks handsome and majestic.
In contrast, he seemed passionate and unrestrained, which was in sharp contrast to the cold and lonely Fang Geyin.
But two young knights who seemed to be quite outstanding at first sight fell in love with Jin Xiangyu at the same time, which made Zhao Yan even more curious about her.
After all, they haven't seen her for many years. To be honest, he has forgotten what she looked like before.
It's just that most of the women in Xiaoyu Tower are not bad in appearance. I think this gold inlaid with jade must be good.
"Why don't you see Shopkeeper Jin?"
"If you want to see the shopkeeper, you have to go upstairs. There aren't many opportunities to see him downstairs."
Old Han said, pulling Zhao Yan into the lobby.
Seeing someone coming in, everyone sitting in the hall just turned their heads and glanced lightly, and then continued to mind their own business.
With just one glance, Zhao Yan discovered that there were actually three masters of the Transcendent Realm in the hall, and together with Ding Ning, they were Westerners.
However, among these people, the one with the most profound internal strength is a middle-aged man in blue robe sitting in the corner.
Observing the positions where several people were sitting, Zhao Yan could conclude that these people were not from the same group.
If it weren't for Lingyun Cave...
It should be the accompanying escort hired by some big trading companies, right?
Just inviting a master from the extraordinary realm to escort him, this business trip was indeed a bit extravagant.
The two of them didn't say anything polite, and sat down at an empty table next to them.
"Second brother, please bring two pots of soju and some dishes to go with the wine!"
"Okay, oh, Brother Han, I haven't been here for a while."
"Go, stop talking nonsense, don't starve me, Old Han!"
"Haha, wait a moment! Come right away!"
As soon as Lao Han shouted, the waiter, who had been sleeping nearby, quickly got up. Seeing that he was an acquaintance, he greeted him casually and went to the kitchen.
"Brother Yan, you've taken care of me all the way. There's no sun or sand here. Can you take off the white cloth on your face?"
"It's not like a young lady is shy about meeting people. Why should a big man be ashamed?"
"Besides, if you don't take off the white cloth, how will you drink and eat meat later? Don't worry, I'll treat you to this meal!"
Seeing that Zhao Yan was silent and didn't do anything after sitting down, Lao Han reluctantly persuaded him to make peace.
After traveling all the way, he had yet to see what this mysterious Brother Yan looked like.
Judging from his body shape, he is outstanding. If he is good-looking, he will never be worse than Fang Geyin and Ding Ning.
Lao Han had a loud voice, and when he heard him shouting, people at the tables next to him turned their heads curiously.
Indeed, not many people still had their heads wrapped when they arrived at the Longmen Inn.
unless……
Is it a woman?
Ding Ning had high internal strength and sharp ears and eyes. Even though he was sitting far away, he heard what Old Han said and glanced over casually.
He had been coming to Longmen Inn for a long time and had seen countless faces. Except for Fang Geyin, he rarely met anyone who could compare with him in appearance.
Although this person was invisible to his eyes, with just a pair of eyes, he could tell that this person must have an extraordinary appearance, which made him feel wary.
There won't be another admirer of Shopkeeper Jin, right?
"Okay, okay, just stop yelling."
Zhao Yan was a little embarrassed by Lao Han's loud voice and hurriedly interrupted him.
Then he took off the white cloth wrapped all over his head.
Then everyone saw a picture...
It's ordinary, no, it's an ugly face.
Even Old Han was a little stunned. He looked all the way, but never thought that Brother Yan had such virtues.
There is nothing wrong with her extremely beautiful pair of handsome eyes and her well-protruded mountain roots.
But looking down, he had a red nose with lees, a sausage mouth, and a pockmarked face.
this……
It really ruined a pair of eyes!
Ding Ning only glanced at him and turned away unbearably.
The drinkers around wanted to laugh, but they all had good qualities. They just chuckled and shook their heads, and no one laughed openly.
After Lao Han was stunned for a short time, he quickly returned to normal.
He lowered his voice with some embarrassment and said:
"I'm sorry, Brother Yan. If I had known this was the case, I wouldn't have forced you to take this piece of cloth, Old Han."
He really meant to apologize, and Zhao Yan could easily detect his apology.
"It doesn't matter, I covered this cloth because I don't want to scare you."
Zhao Yan chuckled, his face even uglier.
He was afraid of meeting someone he knew when he went out, so he asked Ren Yingying to disguise himself...
The original intention was to not attract attention, but now it seems to have the opposite effect...
On the contrary, it is even more eye-catching!
Sister Yingying tricked me!
"It's okay, it's okay. Manhood is in the West. A mere face doesn't matter. As long as you can make big money, you can have anything!"
Lao Han consoled him thoughtfully.
Just like him, he naturally went to this business trip to make more money.
If it weren't for high profits when doing business in the Longmen Desert, who would take such a big risk.
During the first half of their caravan journey, they could use the name of Longmen Inn to get through smoothly.
But in the second half of the journey, there was no goods from the Longmen Inn, so I had to rely on my own ability to survive.
After leaving the Longmen Inn, the second half of the journey was about being beheaded and resigned to fate.
The reason why the caravan stewards rested for so long for three days was to allow them to restore their mental and physical strength to the best condition to deal with the dangers ahead.
"Actually, it's no use being good-looking. Shopkeeper Jin never shows off to good-looking men. Brother Fang and the others have been here for so long, I'm afraid they haven't seen a single smiling face."
As Old Han just spoke, the lobby suddenly became quiet.
He was so frightened that he thought he had said something wrong and quickly shrank his head.
But the next moment, with Ding Ning's soft "Golden Shopkeeper", he realized that it was the landlady who came downstairs...
He raised his head in embarrassment and felt relieved when he saw that Zhao Yan didn't pay attention to him.
But when he looked back, he discovered that Jin Xiangyu was actually walking towards him.
on the face...
Still smiling?
