Chapter 105 Danger is Coming
Most of the wine shops in Chang'an City are located in the city. They carry small wine flags and the aroma of wine in the vats can be smelled from a long distance.
A neatly dressed young lady stands by the door with a bamboo tube and sells wine. The wine is all home-brewed, and the taste varies greatly, depending on the reputation among the people. There is a saying that the wine is fragrant but the alley is deep, and the owner is ingenious and invites Hu Ji to sell wine as a coward, which can also become popular for a while.
Today's Star Reaching Tower is very different from the day before. The fences and scaffolding have all been cleared away, and bursts of fairy music can be heard from a long distance away.
There were ten wine jars set up in front of the door, all of which had their mud seals removed. Drinkers passing by could choose any one they liked and taste a bowl. At this moment, there was already a long queue in front of the door. Many literati While drinking wine, Yake waved his sleeves and shook his head while composing impromptu poems.
Through the open window on the first floor, one could see many beautiful orchids playing music and dancing inside. It was really lively.
When Zhou Zhao and Liu Huang arrived, Su Changying had already arrived.
He leaned against an old banyan tree in front of the door, holding his sword in both hands. He looked at the passing crowd and walked out of the shade when he saw Zhou Zhao and Liu Huang coming.
Zhou Zhao noticed from the corner of his eye that Liu Huang's bamboo hat was pointing towards Su Changying, and glanced at the two of them suspiciously, "Why do I feel that you two are hiding something from me?"
Liu Huang was unmoved, and Su Changying shook his head, "What can be hidden from the eyes of Master Xiao Zhou of Tingwei Temple?"
Zhou Zhao looked the two of them up and down, then thought of Xu Jin who limped in today, and understood most of it instantly.
Her heart felt warm, but she shook her head in a funny way. She thought about the day she casually mentioned that she was bullied, and the two people in front of her remembered it in her heart.
"Is this worth taking action from you two? It's just a trivial matter. Let me deal with him in the same way as a civil servant in the future!"
Zhou Zhao said, pointing to his mouth.
Civil service competitions depended on kung fu. Each of these civil servants had eight mouths and nine minds. A mere Xu Jin was not in her eyes at all.
As soon as the three of them entered the Star-Zhaing Building, a doctor carrying a wine pot came forward. Zhou Zhao nodded to him, "We are looking for Chuyou."
Dr. Jiu didn't say a word when he saw this. He raised his hand and led the three of them upstairs, "Please come in, please. Miss Chu is already waiting in the private room."
Zhou Zhao calmly glanced at the lobby on the first floor. Although the first floor was not a private room, every table and table was separated by bamboo curtains. It was already full and there were no free seats. Come on. Most of the diners were wearing brocade clothes, and there was no one suspicious.
Zhou Zhao looked at it and his eyes suddenly paused.
I saw a familiar old man sitting on one of the tables. He was wearing the official robe of Tingwei Temple with a wrinkled skirt. There were only a few dishes on the table, but there were ten bottles of wine neatly arranged. Who could it be, Li Youdao, the drunkard-minded teacher who was not the shopkeeper?
Suddenly, Li Youdao sat up suddenly, turned his head and looked in the direction of Zhou Zhao, his eyes so sharp that it was impossible to hide.
The moment his eyes came into contact with Zhou Zhao, Li Youdao rolled his eyes, turned away in disgust, and drank happily again.
Zhou Zhao followed Dr. Jiu to the second floor speechlessly. Starting from the second floor were private rooms, which were much quieter than those downstairs, and each room had sliding doors.
Dr. Jiu turned left and walked two rooms, then stopped, bowed gently and called, "Miss Chu, your distinguished guest has arrived."
Everything was so ordinary, even the sky today was blue and clear. Standing in front of the door, Zhou Zhao could vaguely hear the crisp sound of the flute coming from the elegant room next door.
When the door opened, Zhou Zhao saw Chu You sitting by the window at a glance. The dishes were already served on the table.
She was sitting there on her knees, moving her fingers quickly, as if making a secret, and Zhou Zhao knew that she was mentally calculating complex arithmetic problems.
Hearing the sound of the door being opened, Chu You said to Dr. Jiu rudely, "Please tell the guest in the private room on the right, there is already music downstairs, why is he still playing the flute? It sounds really weird." Too noisy.”
Dr. Jiu responded with a smile, and when he saw Zhou Zhao and the others entering the door, he bowed and left.
"Sister Chuyou, this Xingxing Building is really good. Even Dr. Jiu is well-trained."
Chu You shook his head, "It's all red tape. If you have the time, you might as well make two good dishes."
Zhou Zhao sat down opposite Chu You and faced the window. He leaned on the railing and looked out the window. Many of the awning boats in the water had left the plank road and started paddling. Sitting here, I realized that half of the small building facing the water is suspended above the east water. Zhou Zhao stretched out his head to take a look. The moment he turned around and sat back, he saw a resentful face.
Min Zangzhi was sitting in the elegant room next door, holding a bamboo flute in his hand!
Zhou Zhao immediately showed a gloating smile, was she just going to say that? How could someone leave a good meal and go to a wine shop to play the flute? Looking at the city of Chang'an, besides Min Zangzhi, a famous man in the beautiful streets and willow alleys, who else could be there?
It's a pity that Sister Chuyou doesn't even bother to watch the peacock in full bloom.
"Azhao, what are you looking at? Come and try the Star Cake in the Star Picking Tower. The wine shop gave it to you today. It is said to be their best snack, a secret recipe passed down from their ancestors."
Zhou Zhao's voice was a little louder, "Look at the ruthless flowing water."
Chu You nodded, "It is indeed ruthless. He even washed away Wang Liu's body two days ago."
When Zhou Zhao took his head back, he could feel Min Zangzhi's resentment deepening. She raised the corners of her mouth in a funny way and looked at the Star Cake that Chu You put in her bowl.
This snack is bright yellow and smells like peas. At first glance, it looks a bit like a star. Anyone who looks at it wants to take a bite.
Zhou Zhao saw Chu You picking up a piece and it was already at his mouth. His eyes moved and he asked, "Sister, is there any mechanism in this building?"
Speaking of something she was interested in, Chu You immediately put down the chopsticks in her hand. She opened her mouth, but shook her head again, "I would like to tell you, but according to the rules, except for the boss, you can't talk to anyone." Others said. ”
She said with bright eyes, "I never thought that I could build a small building. In the past, when your brother was still alive, we discussed that when we get married in the future, we will be like Princess Changyang, Buy a piece of land and build a summer house.”
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"I will draw the pictures then, and your brother will be responsible for writing the inscriptions on the door plaque. Unexpectedly, the other courtyard was not built, but the Star-Zhaing Tower was built instead."
Chu You said and looked at Su Changying again, "Changying, do you still remember Ayan? You were always inseparable in the past. If Li Shen learns that you are back, he will definitely rush back to Chang'an immediately."
“I don’t know where he went now.”
Fan Lishen was the son of Princess Changyang. After the Shanming Changyang case, he left Chang'an with his father and never came back.
Zhou Zhao's mind was spinning rapidly as he listened to the conversation between Su Changying and Chu You.
Ever since they entered the Star Building, everything had been normal, and she didn't smell a hint of danger.
What could possibly kill Zhou Zhao in this bustling building?
Zhou Zhao was thinking, and suddenly heard a faint clicking sound.
Her heart trembled, interrupting the conversation between Chu You and Su Changying, "Have you heard any strange sounds, breaking sounds..."
Zhou Zhao's expression changed as she spoke. She looked towards the table and saw that the tea soup in the tea bowl in front of her had become tilted.
At this moment, another click sounded.
This sound is particularly pleasant to the ears, and anyone who is not deaf can hear it.
The tea cup on the table slid towards the water side, and the small building had tilted.
Click!
Zhou Zhao only felt a huge force coming, and the entire Star Picking Tower crashed down towards Dongshui!
"Ah! Ah!" A harsh scream sounded!
The awning boat that was still near the plank road felt a huge shadow approaching, spread out crazily, and rowed towards the distance!
The tallest building is the Star Building.
Collapsed.
