The fourth floor of Jade Tower is only accessible to regular customers.
This "regular customer" does not mean that you can be called a regular customer if you have been here a few times, but you can at least be called a regular customer if you cannot be called the owner of the Jade Tower. The owner of the Qingyu Tower is disgusted.
This is a good story and a legend about the mutual respect between host and guest.
As for the fifth floor, it is said that even some famous officials and generals in the imperial court have not been able to go there.
No matter whether it is money or force, they cannot fulfill the wishes of noble people like them.
However, today Yin Xiu was invited by the owner of Qingyu House, which naturally aroused confusion, envy and jealousy from others.
Only Iron Hand Ye San knows that Yin Xiu is worthy of Qingyu Louzhu doing this, because he is the only master among ten thousand.
Yin Xiu paused for a moment, then faced the notice from the accountant, he just smiled and said: "Then please lead the way."
"Please come this way!" Mr. Accountant did not dare to neglect.
"Wait!"
Liu Banxian stopped Yin Xiu, "What about me?"
Yin Xiu turned to ask the accountant, "Did you call him?"
The accountant smiled and said, "Master Yin, the host only invited you, not this one."
"In that case, just stay downstairs. I'll be back in a while."
"You want me to stay here?"
Liu Banxian turned around and looked, feeling that everyone's eyes wanted to eat him.
"Master, don't worry, there have been few fights in this building since Master Li."
"Very few?"
Liu Banxian shouted, "Then what were the two of them doing just now? Talking?"
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious."
Yin Xiu pushed him back to the chair again, and the cashier said: "Give Mr. Liu another feast and dinner, and find a few more sisters to entertain him well."
"Don't worry."
The few accounting gentlemen at the back had already taken notes, so the person who was leading the way came to the front and stretched out his hand.
There were no urging words on his lips, but the intention to ask him to hurry up was hidden in his movements.
So Yin Xiu followed him and walked up under his guidance.
The stairs leading to the fifth floor seemed longer than elsewhere and were winding. After turning the third stair corner, Mr. Accountant stopped and signaled Yin Xiu to go up by himself, and then he left quickly.
So Yin Xiu stepped onto the fifth floor by himself. Only when he got here did he understand why the stairs here were longer than the bottom.
Just because the fifth floor is not what it seems from the outside, but it has a hidden secret. It is a short but spacious attic.
Yin Xiu walked up here and saw rows of bookshelves that almost reached the ceiling.
There is a passage in the middle of the bookshelves on both sides that can accommodate people, and a coffee table is placed in the open space a few seats in front.
There was no one in the attic, but Yin Xiu knew that the owner of Qingyu Tower might just be hiding somewhere, practicing his masterful style secretly.
So Yin Xiubian didn't care about this and just walked over on his own.
When passing the gap between two rows of bookshelves, Yin Xiu was stunned for a moment when he caught a glimpse of a familiar, tall figure from the corner of his eye.
I don't know when it started, but Ren Qi stood there, staring at him.
Yin Xiu glared at him, "You must be so scary?"
"I can't tell whether it's a human or a ghost outside now."
Ren Qi crossed his arms on his chest, "Many people are looking for me, it's always better to be cautious."
Yin Xiu spread her hands, "Have you figured it out now?"
"Clear."
Ren Qi snorted coldly: "Only you don't care if there is a trap upstairs. When someone calls you, you walk in on your own, as if you are ready to be hacked to death by dozens or twenty swordsmen at any time."
"Then you're not afraid that I was looking to see if you were Ren Qi just now?"
"Then do you see it now?"
"I see it."
Yin Xiu smiled, "Only the real Ren Qi would still look like this after not seeing his old friend for several months."
"Hmph."
Ren Qi crossed his hands and said, "You guys are fine. Isn't that what you should do?"
Yin Xiu knew his temper and didn't answer. She just turned around and looked around, "Where is the Qingyu Building Master?"
"I don't know."
"Don't know?"
Yin Xiu was a little curious, "Then how did you come up and how long have you been here?"
Ren Qi glanced at him, "Why, do you need someone to bring you up? I came up by myself.
I heard that these martial arts people were planning to hold a meeting to deal with me, so I thought that instead of letting them deal with me, it would be better for me to deal with them.
As a result, the two of you have been struggling with them downstairs, so I might as well wait until you finish singing the big show before going out. ”
"So that's it."
Yin Xiu smiled, "Then do you think the Qingyu Building Master is here now, and how much do you know about him?"
"Don't you think you talked a lot tonight?"
Ren Qi frowned, "I have never heard of the owner of the Jade Tower. This Jade Tower has existed in Jinmen for a long time and is famous for its wealth and grandeur.
However, in my mind, the first floor of Jinmen has always been the burned down Haihua Building. ”
"Commander Ren's words are a bit biased."
Hearing a cold, clear voice, Yin Xiu and Ren Qi immediately looked to the other side.
I saw a man standing there with a slender figure, standing like a small tree.
Half of his face was covered by a jade animal-shaped mask, only the chin and lips under the nose were exposed. However, only this half made people think that he was handsome and looked like Pan An.
Needless to say, such an outstanding person deserves to be called the owner of the Qingyu Building, and he has enough courage and ability to build a building in Jinmen and set a rule.
The owner of Qingyu Hall slowly walked forward, shaking the fan with his sharp-knuckled hands.
"Yuhua Tower was indeed famous in Jinmen in the past, but it was opened by outsiders. It has only form but no soul, and has no roots in Jinmen. After all, it has not been immersed in the water of Jiudao River.
You two must also know that there is no strong man in the world who can always win. Even if Yuhua Tower is still there today, I have to boldly say that Yulou is even better. ”
"I have no objection."
Yin Xiu never argued with others on such matters.
Ren Qi was even less interested, even if he was refuted by others, it didn't matter.
The owner of Qingyu Tower looked at Yin Xiu and said to him: "You are the first guest to climb to the fifth floor in so many years."
"So, this should be my glory?"
"No, this is the glory of Jade Tower."
He turned the paper fan in his hand, and the pattern on the fan appeared.
It is a unicorn painted in ink and wash. It has no shape but a soul. It is a typical large ink wash style.
Because of this style, this unicorn is neither arrogant nor majestic, nor does it even have a specific impression.
However, it is indeed unforgettable, hazy yet lifelike.
It is such a vague unicorn that seems to be running as the owner of Qingyu sways his fan, and is about to fall from the paper at any time, fly into the water, or fly into the sky.
"Why don't you two sit down first and I'll make you some tea?"
"I only drink frozen mandarin duck."
"I don't drink tea." Yin Xiu and Ren Qi said this, but they still pulled up their chairs and sat down at the same time.
The owner of Qingyu Tower seemed to be smiling, but he also walked around to the other side of the tea table and started boiling water to make tea.
His movements are very flexible. Whether he is washing the tea set or taking out the tea leaves from the tea box, the hands of the owner of Qingyu show softness and stability.
“I grew up in Tianjin since I was a child, and I know the situation in Tianjin best.
The water here is bitter and aggravating to drink, so most people drink tea. Even if it is not good, they will throw in a handful of tea leaves and put a few jasmine flowers, not for drinking tea, but just to cover up the strange smell in the water. Son.
There is only sweet water from a few wells in the east of the city. It is the best for drinking. It is sweet and dry. One of them is packaged by Yulou, so fresh spring water is sent here every day. ”
As he spoke, the Qingyu Building Master poured hot tea into the teacups in front of the two of them.
Although Yin Xiu and Ren Qi sat down, they also had their own principles and did not touch the hot tea for a while.
"Commander Ren, I have something to ask you for help..."
"I never do anyone else a favour."
Ren Qi had a cold face and rejected the Qingyu Building Master before he could finish his words.
The owner of Qingyu Tower was not angry, nor was he blocked by a word. He just smiled and said: "Yu Jing, there is an expert in using swords..."
He obviously wanted to say something, so Yin Xiu and Ren Qi both listened quietly.
"Some people said that he had passed away a long time ago and died of a strange disease. Everyone saw his body. However, I learned from a secret channel that he was not actually dead, but was hiding in the Forbidden Palace. …”
Those old monsters who live in the Forbidden Palace and whose dragons never see their beginnings or tails?
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 knows something.
So Ren Qi said: "I met one or two of them when I was in the palace. No one knows how long they have been in the palace."
"But what I want to say is that that man is a true swordsman. He has thousands of swords in his library, but the one he likes most is the six world-fast swords made by the golden forger."
Hearing this, Ren Qi's expression changed.
Yin Xiu was also keenly aware of his changes.
However, Ren Qi held back. He just asked: "So, the bastard who issued the order to hunt me down and killed my whole family is an old monster hiding in the Forbidden Palace?"
The owner of the Qingyu Tower held his chin, "The Jade Tower is a place for buying and selling news. This is indeed what I have heard, but I haven't figured out who exactly it is."
"If you want to know who he is, you have to ask Dewey first."
Ren Qi's eyes flashed coldly, "So, what do you want me to do for you?"
"Didn't you say you never do anything to help others?" Qingyu Building Master asked.
"I didn't say I wanted to help." Ren Qi said coldly.
"But actually speaking, this is also related to you, because I want you to help me enter the Inner Forbidden Palace to kill someone."
"Who?"
The owner of Qingyu House pushed a note to Ren Qi.
There was a person's face painted on it, sinister and thin.
Ren Qi recognized him at a glance, "Ji Liansheng, enshrined in the Imperial Palace."
"Yes, that's him."
Master Qingyu nodded, "I would like to ask Commander Ren to help me kill him."
Ji Liansheng is also one of the monsters in Da Nei.
Ren Qi had met him once and was deeply impressed.
"My target is not him."
"But you 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: "Because although I don't know who Jian Chi is, I heard that he is a member of the royal family."
"Royal family?"
Ren Qi frowned, "In this case, everything makes sense. Only members of the royal family can call Di Wei."
"Yes, if you go to kill the sword idiot, Ji Liansheng will come to stop you. I heard that he is a master of Tai Chi. His skill has reached the state of perfection many years ago. He can make birds land on the palm of his hand and not fly away. This person should not be underestimated.”
"It doesn't matter."
Ren Qi didn't take it seriously, "I wanted to kill Jian Chi. Ji Lianhai came to stop me, so I killed him together. It's just that simple."
"Well, he is indeed Leng Yu Ren Qi, who once shocked Yu Jing."
"That happened in the past." Ren Qi snorted coldly.
"By the way, don't you ask me why I want you to kill Ji Lianhai?"
Ren Qi said coldly: "There is no reason to kill someone."
The owner of Qingyu Building smiled and looked at Yin Xiu again.
"Master Yin, I have something that may interest you."
Yin Xiu said calmly: "There are many things in this world that interest me, but I don't necessarily 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 an enemy, and I don't want you to avenge me."
The owner of the Qingyu Tower shook his head, "I want to say that the Black Emperor's Son has appeared in Yujing and was brought back by Qintian Supervisor Dongfang Future."
This time it was Yin Xiu's turn to frown.
When they were in southern Xinjiang, they were finally a step too late, and Dongfang Future arrived first and took away the Black Emperor's son.
This matter has already spread to Yujing, and Yin Xiu and the others gathered in Jinmen just for this matter.
However, except for a few related people, no one has yet seen that Yin Xiu is related to the Dragon Emperor's son.
This made Yin Xiu feel some kind of threat.
So Yin Xiu didn't answer, but silently gave Ren Qi a look.
Ren Qi knew what this look meant, and quietly put his hand on the sword.
The owner of Qingyu Tower was still completely unknown. He just continued: "The driver of the Black Emperor is actually a woman."
"Woman?"
Ren Qi's hand left the hilt of the sword again and dropped under the table because he could sense that Yin Xiu was interested.
The transportation of the Dragon Emperor's son was absolutely confidential. Even though civil and military officials lined up to greet him that day, most people in Yujing actually didn't know what was in the carriage.
Dongfang Future did not kill the driver directly, but took her back to Yujing, which Yin Xiu did not expect.
But Qingyu Louzhu gave this important information.
"Who are you?"
"Just an idle guy running a teahouse."
The owner of Qingyu Tower said calmly: "Master Yin, Commander-in-Chief, you don't need to care about my identity. As long as you know that we are not enemies and can still be friends, that is enough."
"Friends?"
Yin Xiu grinned, "Interesting, you gave me this news, what do you want in exchange?"
"It's not difficult for you, Mr. Yin."
The owner of the Qingyu building finally revealed the purpose of inviting him upstairs.
"I want to ask you to rescue that woman and send her here."
