Aggrieved Fish Sprite

There was a weird cooing sound.

Because everyone in the courtyard knew martial arts, they looked towards the source of the sound while feeling suspicious.

The second prince blushed and covered his stomach.

"What are you looking at? Have you never seen anyone go hungry?" The second prince roared angrily.

Mo Li thought about it carefully, they spent a whole day in the palace, during which time everyone ate nothing except some candied fruits that Meng Qi took from Wenyuan Pavilion.He and Meng Qi didn't realize how advanced their internal skills were, but the second prince obviously couldn't hold on anymore.

In fact, the second prince hadn't eaten anything decent for two days and two nights.

Lu Zhang suddenly ordered the city gates to be sealed and the palace searched. The second prince summoned his subordinates in a hurry, so there was no time to bring food.This is forcing the palace to rebel and not marching to fight. If you can't get things done in a short period of time, there is no hope. If you fail, you will die. What rations do you need?

Although I was hungry, it was over after a while.

In addition, the second prince's spirit was tense, and he was determined to kill Lu Zhang, so he never thought of offering sacrifices to the Wu Zang Temple.After leaving the palace and successfully entering the Peony Square, the second prince, who had relaxed and watched the excitement, suddenly found himself extremely hungry.

"you--"

The shopkeeper suddenly realized.

With Meng Guoshi's ability, it is impossible for the people traveling with him to go hungry. They came here like this, and brought a young man who didn't know martial arts at all and was suspected of being born in a wealthy family.

Meng Qi looked at him with a half-smile, and the shopkeeper immediately swallowed back what he was going to say.

"The ones who come in are the guests. I hope Master Meng Guo will forgive me for not being well received in the Bi Pavilion." The shopkeeper bowed his hands and saluted, and also took care of Meng Qi and Mo Li very thoughtfully.

The old man with the wolf's head birthmark suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "So you are the former national teacher who has been rumored in Yongzhou recently? I don't know what kind of inner strength the national teacher cultivated, so that he can keep his face forever."

The language is sarcasm, and it is short of directly saying that Meng Qi is a bluff; an impostor.

But no matter how false the name is, this martial art is real.

A face-to-face knocked down all his subordinates. The old man thought he was no match, but he didn't even think about bowing his head and giving in.

The old man turned his head to the shopkeeper and said, "Feng Xing Ge wants to watch the dishes, so kick us out?"

"No, no, the people who come to the door are all customers." The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and smiled awkwardly, "Nowadays, the interrogation in the shop has been relaxed a lot. It is estimated that after a while, Peony Square will return to normal. The underground secret room is our Fengxing Pavilion hospitality Honorable guest, there are no extra beds in the place where we talk about news secretly, and it is not for people to live in. Why don't you all go to the small building to rest temporarily? Don't worry about safety. We have a lot of secret passages and darkrooms in Fengxing Pavilion, and the imperial guards can't find them at all. come out."

"Really?" Meng Qi was very interested.

The second prince also quietly breathed a sigh of relief. When he rebelled against him, he led people into the Wanhe Hall through a secret passage, but was ambushed by gunpowder.The tragic scene lingered in his mind, and he really didn't want to enter the underground secret passage again in a short time.

At this moment, Mo Li said, "Let's lead the way. A group of us will stay in the yard. It will be troublesome if we attract the attention of the imperial guards later."

The height of the courtyard walls of the houses is limited. Although the situation inside the courtyard cannot be seen from outside the walls, you can easily get on the fence with just a stepping foot.

So not only was it impossible to fight, but it was also troublesome for everyone to speak a little louder.

The old man gave Meng Qi a bitter look, his subordinates were lying on the ground, and he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.We can't see each other's identities, so we can only endure it.

The shopkeeper smiled and bowed and said, "Mr. Lang wait for a while, shall I send Master Meng in first?"

The head manager of Fengxing Pavilion turned his back to Meng Qi and Mo Li, and looked at the old man with a bitter expression on his face, with the appearance of "opening the door to do business can't offend this kind of evil star", abruptly blocking the old man's sarcasm go back.

Extreme masters, not only Fengxing Pavilion, no one can afford to provoke them.

The old man could only hold back his breath, and took the opportunity to check the injuries of his subordinates, turning his head. The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and hurriedly led Meng Qi to the small building.

Meng Qi just used internal force to seal the air pockets of these people, even if they were left alone, with the circulation of qi and blood in the body, after a stick of incense, they would recover freely.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression gradually improved.

The second prince held his stomach and followed Meng Qi obediently, he did not dare to take orders.

Mo Li looked at the old man thoughtfully for a while, and finally entered the small building.

Fengxing Pavilion is opened in Mudanfang, of course it is not selling news on the surface, in fact it is a bookstore called Fengyuezhai.

You can tell by the name that it sells not serious books.

Story books, embroidered picture books, and erotic pictures.

The most serious books in Fengyuezhai are probably piano scores and tea scores, which also cater to the needs of Mudanfang.

Business is very good on weekdays, and those who have money to come to Peony Square to enjoy themselves, of course, are not hesitant to buy the latest pornographic storybooks and read the popular pornographic words recently. After all, not everyone has ink in their stomachs. , you can't just say a beautiful word while drooling, right?If you want to chat with wine and meat friends, and flirt with girls in Jiaofang brothel, you must not be like a treasure.

This has led to Fengyuezhai's books, some of which can only sell a few copies per month, and others that need to be printed and reprinted.

The yard and small building behind the shop are where books are printed.

The most popular books are printed with engraving blocks, which are fast and good, and the books that no one cares about and the new ones are printed with wood-carved movable type.The people in Fengxing Pavilion pretended to be those who worked in the bookstore and printed books. They had a household registration and a clean net worth, and they would not be suspicious when they went in and out of the shop on weekdays.

Mo Li and Meng Qi came to the door at first, only because they saw that the shopkeeper and the clerks in this shop were good at martial arts, and Meng Qi said that there was a secret passage in the underground of the shop, and it was built very firmly.

Taking a closer look, the pattern on the plaque of Fengyuezhai looks like Fengxing Pavilion written in big seal script.

Peony Square, Fengxing Pavilion... have been taken advantage of!

Meng Qi calmly went in to restrain the buddy, and Mo Li naturally wandered around the backyard and the small building, checking the situation, and at the same time made the people in Fengxing Pavilion unconsciously fall asleep.

There are many picture books spread out in the small building waiting to dry.

Meng Qi knew what this kind of bookstore near the Qinglou Chuguan sold, and he didn't care; Mo Li saw it when he came in just now, and he didn't care.

After all, in the eyes of Longmai, a few people who are naked and distorted are really nothing to look at.

But the second prince is different.

When he passed by the pile of books, he took a second look and was shocked.

The rules in the imperial palace are strict, and the princes of the Qi Dynasty live a miserable life. Except for the two fist-sized dolls and a erotic album that are not interesting to speak of, the Yeting Palace sent them according to the rules before they got married. The second prince, Lu Min, had never seen such a blatant thing.

It turns out that this kind of picture can draw characters outdoors!

It turns out that it is possible to draw a complete picture of the faces of the people in the album?Can you still draw emojis?

It turns out that this kind of thing can be done without the bed... Wait, this picture looks like a swing?

The second prince's face turned red suddenly, and he almost walked away from the pile of books with a dazed expression.

"I seem to remember him saying before that his wife betrayed him?" Meng Qi was very surprised, and said to Mo Li through voice transmission, "Why do people who have been married look like a brat?"

Mo Li shook his head, but he didn't understand either.

The shopkeeper watched them secretly, and was very surprised by Lu Min's reaction. Whose rich and powerful children haven't read these picture books?No matter how strict the family education is, it is inevitable to sneak through some things secretly. Although this person is young, he does not look like a kid who has never tasted something new.

Strange, I have never seen the material of the clothes, and there are still marks from the armor on the clothes. It is easy to think that it has something to do with the palace, maybe it is the prince who set off a rebellion and forced the palace, but——The prince saw a few pages of erotic albums , was frightened and couldn't even walk?

This is a fake prince!

The shopkeeper muttered, and soon he began to look at Mo Li with strange eyes.

——The further you walk, the more you can see that the people in the small building are all falling asleep, and people don't notice it. This skill is deeper than Meng Qi knocking down all the enemies in one face-to-face.

So the person with the faint smell of herbs is Meng Guoshi?

Fortunately, this is the Fengxing Pavilion, and the shopkeeper is the head of the No. [-] intelligence organization in Jianghu, so there is no shortage of news.The shopkeeper quickly thought of a piece of news. It is said that Mr. Jinfeng offended a master dressed as a doctor in Yongzhou.

It's not a person pretending to be a doctor, because there are indeed many people from the Jianghu who have met this doctor who was wearing a bamboo hat and couldn't see his face clearly on the road, and he was cured by the doctor. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a miracle doctor.

What's more, the rumors about the Langzhong and the rumors about the former imperial teacher came out almost at the same time.

The shopkeeper had a judgment in his heart, and when he took him to the second floor and unscrewed the hidden mechanism on the wall to reveal a very elegantly furnished room, he greeted with a smile on his face: "Master Meng Guo, doctor, please look at this place." Are you satisfied?"

As he spoke, he demonstrated the mechanism of the entrance, proving that the mechanism can be opened from the outside as well as from the inside.

"Well, it is indeed Fengxing Pavilion." Meng Qi nodded casually.

The double entender not only recognized the room, but also told the shopkeeper that he was right.

The house is not big, but it is divided into three rooms.

The outer screen is low and the bed should be complete, and there is a chessboard on the table.

The cubicle is for changing clothes, and there is a Babu bed in the last room, and there is a small couch next to the wall.

The babu bed is very exquisite, it is the handicraft of the southerners. Although it is small in size, the bed board and the footboard have carved patterns, and there is a curtain made of green silk, which is scented with Nanhe incense to help sleep.

The second prince yawned involuntarily.

Sleepy is sleepy, but his heart is like a mirror, this bed must not belong to him.

With unspeakable grievances, the second prince cast his eyes on the small couch that was so narrow that he could only lie on his side, thinking of a way to avoid rolling down from it.

"What do you do in a daze, take the money." Meng Qi reminded.

The second prince belatedly took out the bank note, and asked struggling, "Isn't this the money for renting a house?"

"If the imperial guards don't leave, where can we rent the yard?"

"Then...how much?"

The second prince took out several thin banknotes, and finally took out a five tael banknote and handed it to the shopkeeper with great heartache.

Chief Steward of Fengxing Pavilion: "..."

I must have guessed wrong, how could such a stingy person be a prince!

Thinking about it, the shopkeeper still had a smile on his face, and took the bank note respectfully, as if it was not five taels but 500 taels, which made the second prince feel much better.

"What do you call the distinguished guest?" the shopkeeper asked tentatively.

"You can figure it out." The second prince Lu Min waved his hand and said calmly, "I can't do the job of making up names, and I don't want to take the trouble."

The shopkeeper was at a loss for words, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at Meng Qi cautiously.

As a result, Meng Qi looked back at Mo Li, and the shopkeeper suddenly realized that this was the real caller.

"Is there any food? I don't want to pick anything, just send some here, and get a bucket of water. It's best to have hot water, but it's okay if you don't have it." Mo Li said naturally.

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, what's the matter, did they really treat Fengxing Pavilion as an inn?

"No, I just want to ask..." The shopkeeper wiped his sweat again, gestured for the bank note in his hand, and said with a smile, "Fengxing Pavilion is for buying and selling news, and naturally distinguished guests can stay with us for a few days, but you have to Buying news is doing business.”

"What kind of news can five taels of silver buy?" Meng Qi asked blankly.

"..."

Unimportant news of course.

But you can't say that, the shopkeeper smiled and said: "It depends on what the two distinguished guests are interested in."

Mo Li said casually: "Who is that old man outside with the wolf's head birthmark on his face just now?"

The shopkeeper was taken aback, apparently he didn't expect Mo Li to ask such a question, because the news was worthless, and a person with obvious features like the wolf-headed old man could basically recognize it when he saw it, unless he was not from the Jianghu.

"That is Sha Qiancheng, the leader of the Qinglangqi. People in the Jianghu are called the old wolf. He was a sand bandit outside the pass in his early years. Five years ago, he met Jianning Changyuan, the number one in the world. His brothers died cleanly. He is the only one who knows the way to the The path to the oasis survived by luck. It disappeared after entering the customs, and then..."

The shopkeeper lowered his voice and gestured, "I heard that the one in the southwest was hired."

"Heaven-given king?" Mo Li frowned.

The eldest disciple of Patriarch Qingwu took refuge in the Tianshou King, and the Holy Lotus Altar is also serving the Tianshou King. It seems that this Tianshou King has indeed attracted many people from the world.

"This Sha Qiancheng doesn't want to stay in the southwest, what does he want to do when he goes to Taijing? To seek rebellion?" Meng Qi pondered.

The shopkeeper quickly explained: "It doesn't look like it's small. The news that he came to buy Emperor Li's Mausoleum is either because he is interested in treasures, or because he wants to take the opportunity to recruit some masters of the world for King Tianshou."

Meng Qi intentionally asked: "Ancestor Qingwu's eldest disciple works with him under the account of King Tianshou. Why can't he get the news about the treasure of the imperial mausoleum from Ancestor Qingwu, and still go to your Fengxing Pavilion to buy it?"

"The national teacher was joking. These five fingers are still long and short. Children born to their own parents have to be biased. These people have their own plans, and they are trying to hide it from each other."

"Hmm." Meng Qi continued to ponder.

The shopkeeper held the five taels of silver bill in his hand, and it was wrong to leave or keep it, so he could only ask Mo Li in a low voice, "I don't know if the doctor has anything else to do?"

"Can you find silver needles for acupuncture? Pick the best set!" Mo Li casually pulled out 20 taels of silver notes.

The second prince's eyes were about to pop out.

Shopkeeper: "..."

Forget it, he should treat himself as the innkeeper!

The chief steward of Fengxing Pavilion left in a hurry, he still has a subordinate of the Heavenly Granted King, Sha Qiancheng, who used to run across Mobei, wants to fool him!At any rate, the former sand bandit leader sold 300 taels of silver notes, followed by another ten ingots of gold, trying to track down the whereabouts of a senior who had disappeared in the martial arts world for a long time.

The guys brought the food quickly.

Three bowls of gnocchi, a large bowl of cabbage leaf soup, and a bowl of boiled cabbage, not to mention meaty soup without even a piece of oil.

The second prince almost dropped his chopsticks, and said furiously: "I gave you five taels of silver! Even if it is the best inn in Taijing, there is no such price for a night in a Tianzi store, so you just use this kind of pig food to fool Ben... The entourage of the national teacher?"
