Chapter 505 The Shameless Old Beggar (Part 1)
Manyuelou is located at the east end of Chang'an Street in Zhuque District. There are a lot of people coming and going here, and the market is the busiest.
The entire restaurant is divided into three floors. The bottom floor, the "Five Lakes and Four Seas Hall", occupies a very large area and is said to be able to accommodate hundreds of banquets. There are also singing and dancing performances in the middle of the hall, ranging from wealthy businessmen to court officials. , down to martial arts knights, traffickers and pawns, as long as they have money, they can have fun here.
"Five Lakes and Four Seas", as the name suggests, means that everyone gets drunk and enjoys the same thing regardless of where they are born.
The "Shangao Yunhai Tower" on the second floor has private compartments and is equipped with special servants to serve. These are usually the royal family, nobles, or important officials of the court and other very important people. An elegant gathering place for people of high status.
As for the "Star Reaching and Peng Yue Pavilion" on the highest floor, it rarely entertains guests. In other words, even if someone has climbed to the third floor, others will not know about it.
At this time, on the bottom floor of the Full Moon Building, there was a scholar in Tsing Yi sitting alone in the corner, sipping a cup of tea.
Three days have passed since Liang Yan received the news from "One Ear".
In the past three days, Liang Yan has been going to the Full Moon Building to drink tea every day. He is now in the late stage of foundation building. Under the coverage of his spiritual consciousness, let alone the small Full Moon Building, even if it is a square Within two miles, as long as he has a thought, he can clearly perceive it.
However, nothing seems to have happened in the past few days, and I have not met the so-called "Princess Qinwan".
Liang Yan was slightly disappointed. He drank all the tea in the cup, put the tea money on the table, stood up and walked out.
It was already sunset, but people were still coming and going on the streets, and there were many beggars begging on the road. Liang Yan had just walked out of the gate of Man Yue Tower, and when he glanced at the crowd across the street, something strange suddenly appeared.
Among the group of beggars across the street, there was an old beggar with white beard and white hair, wearing rags. This old beggar was carrying a sapphire wooden staff with a large wine gourd hanging on it. It was the Qiao Wanli he had seen in Zhiyuan City that day!
On that day, everyone surrounded and suppressed Ximen Hao, the lord of Yuancheng City. The "Beggar of the North Sea" Qiao Wanli was also one of the participants. Later, when Shi Guanghan and others were defeated, Qiao Wanli came from Liang Yan and Ximen Hao. Hao's hand easily escaped.
However, this is also related to the fact that Liang Yan was only in the early stage of foundation building at that time. Now that Liang Yan has advanced to the late stage of foundation building, Qiao Wanli can no longer escape from him even if he has extraordinary means.
While Liang Yan was secretly sizing up the old beggar, Qiao Wanli was also scanning back and forth in front of the Man Yue Tower. When his eyes fell on Liang Yan, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
He patted his butt and, regardless of how dirty he was, walked directly through the crowd and rushed towards Liang Yan.
Liang Yan was slightly startled, and he thought to himself: "Could it be that this old guy recognized him? No! Now I use the magic of 'Yuan Mu Dao' to change my body shape, even the monks in the Juyuan Realm can They may not be able to see through my disguise, how can he, a foundation-building monk, know?"
When Liang Yan was confused? , Qiao Wanli had already rushed in front of him, Liang Yan subconsciously stepped aside, but saw that Qiao Wanli didn't say much to him at all, and lay down directly in front of him, while squeezing out a few tears, He shouted:
"Oh, murder! This young man killed someone! He killed my old man!"
Liang Yan was really shocked and speechless.
It took him a long time to react and secretly thought: "Is this the legendary blackmail?"
Although Liang Yan no longer takes Qiao Wanli in his eyes now, he still After all, he was a monk in the late stage of foundation building. He could have become the founder of a small sect outside, but now he was lying on the ground like a dead fish. It was really embarrassing. Seeing Liang Yan's silence, Qiao Wanli thought that the tender-faced scholar had been frightened, so he immediately raised a hand, grabbed his pants, and said angrily: "Do you want to default on the bill? You bumped into my old man, and all the bones in his body fell apart. ! Ouch, Zhandu I can't stand up anymore!"
Liang Yan's face darkened and he shouted: "There are so many people coming out in front of this restaurant, why are you blackmailing me instead of others?"
Qiao Wanli thought to himself: "You have a tender face, and you are well-dressed. Young people are all about respect. If I don't blackmail you, who would you blackmail?"
He was thinking this in his heart, but his face was pretending to be sad. He lay down directly on the ground and shouted: "Everyone, come and take a look. This scholar bumped into my old man and wanted to leave." That’s it! Come on guys, what’s wrong with this world?”
Qiao Wanli was a gray-haired old man. He was lying on the ground, screaming miserably. Immediately, many people came to watch, including Some people who didn't know the truth even pointed at Liang Yan with looks of disdain.
Even among the group of beggars across the street, many people secretly gave a thumbs up and praised in a low voice: "The old man is still hot, and this old guy's acting skills are nothing to say!"
Liang Yan calmed down at this moment. He glanced at Qiao Wanli, who was on the ground, glanced at him and thought to himself: "This person will never blackmail a mortal for no reason. If he really has the ability to see through my cultivation, he must have ulterior motives for this move, but if he only treats me as a mortal, he will definitely Have a picture!”
Thinking of this, Liang Yan pretended to be panicked and reached out to help him. At the same time, he said: "Old man, why is this happening? It was Tang who was careless. Please get up quickly and I will take you to see the injury." "
Qiao Wanli saw this and was helped up by him, but his voice was still very weak and he said: "This little brother doesn't seem to be a evil person. In fact, I am old, and so is the doctor. He can't be cured."
Liang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't I pay the old man some money?"
Qiao Wanli laughed and said, "The old man has been begging all his life and needs so much money. Very! But since the little brother is so thoughtful, the old man has a wish and wants to ask the little brother for help."
"It doesn't matter," Liang Yan said.
Qiao Wanli said with a smile: "The old man has nothing better than good food in his life. He has long heard of the reputation of Man Yue Lou. The dishes at the 'Five Lakes and Four Seas Hall' are excellent, but the 'Shangao Yunhailou' on the second floor is... There are even more delicacies. If you can invite me to have a meal at "Shan Gao Yun Hai Lou" Suddenly, I will die with no regrets, old man!”
After hearing this, many people onlookers realized that this old man was actually a cheating man, and some even secretly I feel sorry for Liang Yan that he met such a shameless old beggar.
But Liang Yan smiled slightly.
“So it’s such a small thing, Tang promised you!”
He waved his hand very boldly, turned around and led Qiao Wanli back to the Man Yue Tower.
