Chapter 226 Getting separated
“You’re passing by, don’t miss it!”
"This is a top-quality jade bracelet, worn by the Empress in the palace!"
"Come on, this is so fine. How many days have they just been unearthed?"
"Three days... no..."
The man with a scar on his face snatched the bracelet back, glared at the man who was talking, and waved at him, "Get lost..."
Jiang An, who was passing by, came forward to join in the fun and stood on tiptoe to take a look at the bracelet.
The jade bracelet is translucent and made of top-quality materials. The only flaw is that there is a blood stain on the bracelet, which seeps out, adding a touch of charm.
Qi Shanyuan: "This bracelet should be a personal burial object..."
"If An An likes it, I'll ask Qi Sheng to get some from the shop when we get back."
The little girl shook her head. "The jade bracelet is too fragile. It will break if An An moves it."
Her father had bought quite a few before, but none of them could last half a day in her hands.
"If it's broken, it's broken. I can replace it with a new one. As long as An An likes it, that's fine."
"Sigh~"
Xie Yunshan took a breath and glanced at this young master Qi.
Prodigal child!
"Lansheng! The best Lansheng!"
General Xie's ears twitched slightly, and his eyes were fixed on a small stall.
The nose tip and cheeks of the vendor were flushed, and as he moved, the aroma of wine soaked in the wine jars emanated from his body. It was obvious at first glance that he was a complete drunkard.
He unconsciously changed the direction of his toes and walked towards the stall.
"Lansheng?"
When the drunkard stall owner saw someone coming, who was a richly dressed young man, he immediately opened the jar sealed with red cloth and scooped out a spoonful of liquid.
"Look, sir. This is a serious orchid. It uses hundreds of flowers and herbs to make triple-flavored wine!"
The clear and mellow wine in the spoon was just around the tip of Xie Yunshan's nose. The aroma of the wine made his mouth water and he felt drunk just by smelling it.
Suddenly the aroma of wine disappeared...
Xie Yunshan came back to his senses and realized that the drunkard stall owner had taken the spoon and sealed the jar.
He stood up straight and said, "How much does this wine cost? I'll take it all."
"Hey! I'll pack it for you right away!"
The drunkard sniffed and seemed to be able to see the white silver waving at him.
"Sir, you have a good eye. Let me tell you, I am the only one who can brew Lan Sheng except those in the palace..."
Lansheng was brought to the south by the Western Hu people, and later became the imperial wine in the imperial city. Ordinary people could not drink it at all.
This is why Xie Yunshan saw this thing on the black market...
Not to mention selling it openly, even if you shout everywhere that you can brew it, it will be a fatal disaster!
How could ordinary people like them touch the items used by the Heavenly Family?
The drunkard seemed to have thought of something, and moved closer to Xie Yunshan, rubbing his hands, "Sir, let me make a deal with you first, this wine..."
General Xie raised his eyebrows, "Don't worry, I won't show it to the public."
He has always been a heretic. So what if the wine is supplied exclusively to the royal family? He is not in Kyoto anyway.
Three jars of orchids, a total of one thousand taels of silver.
Xie Yunshan was in a good mood after handing over the silver note.
He weighed the purse in his hand, turned around and said to the little girl who was originally wandering around him: "An An, buy whatever you want today, Master..."
“…pay.”
The smile on Xie Yunshan's face fell, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he shouted loudly: "An An?"
"An'an?"
It was just time to buy a jar of wine, how could this girl disappear right under his nose?
The drunk stall owner was counting his banknotes. When he saw the young master looking for someone, he started talking.
"Sir, are you looking for the little girl standing behind you just now?"
"There is a young man accompanying her..."
Xie Yunshan: "Did you see where she went?"
The drunkard nodded and pointed in a direction, "It seems that the young lady followed a sword seller towards this crack in the ground."
"This black market has many fissures extending in all directions. It's common to get separated. Hey... Sir!"
"Sir, please walk slowly~"
Seeing Xie Yunshan's figure disappear in the direction he pointed, the drunkard put away the earnestness on his face and replaced it with a sarcastic look.
He then took out an exquisite purse from his bosom, which was filled with gold leaves.
“This is a good job…”
"You can make so much money just by cheating people!"
It's a pity about the wine, Lansheng, he has been drinking wine all his life, but has never tasted royal wine!
The drunkard's dirty hand was holding the edge of the jar, and with the other hand he eagerly scooped out a spoonful of liquor and put it into his mouth.
Just take a sip...you won't be noticed...
After drinking the mellow wine, there is a hint of bitterness in the aftertaste.
The drunkard swallowed the last sip, smacked his lips, and muttered in confusion, "Why is the wine that the royal family drinks so bitter... bitter..."
The wine spoon fell and the man fell to the ground. The pain in his angry eyes had not yet dissipated, but his spirit was slowly dissipating.
This wine is highly poisoned, and the person behind it has calculated the alcoholic's greed for alcohol...
However, Xie Yunshan was heading in the wrong direction and was destined to gain nothing from this interconnected rift in the ground!
On the other side, An An stood on tiptoe in the crowd, looking for something.
She took Yuanyuan, and Jiang Si took Li Xingsang and Huo Changming.
The little girl muttered, "I could hear that man hawking just now, how come he can't be found..."
Qi Shanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "That person wouldn't be selling the prince's sword. I think it's just a cover for selling..."
"If it's gone, don't look for it anymore."
"An An, we seem to have left Master Xie behind!"
Li Xingsang turned around and pointed backwards, "Just now, Master Xie went to buy some wine, and then..."
He paused, his expression slow, and poked Huo Changming beside him, "Fool, do you still remember the way you came here?"
This crack in the ground is extremely unfamiliar, and there is another fork in the road at the end...
Huo Changming scratched his head and looked at Jiang An, "Sister, do you still remember?"
The little girl blinked her round eyes, innocently. She looked at Jiang Si, and the meaning was very clear. She didn't remember it at all.
Xie Yunshan buying wine, a vendor selling the Longyuan Sword of the state prince, a strange ground fissure passage...
Qi Shanyuan held the little girl's hand tightly and said in a deep voice, "Let's go back. Let's not go around this dark place today..."
"You pay me!"
"I want to compensate you? Bullshit!"
"I will kill you!"
"..."
Chaos suddenly arose, and a vendor who was doing business well got into a fight with a man.
More and more people gathered around, some to watch the fun, some to steal things, and the situation gradually became chaotic...
One of them pulled out a dagger from his waist, looked fierce, and clenched the handle with both hands, and stabbed the other person.
The man dodged, but he could not retract the dagger he had thrown out. The tip of the knife, shining with a cold light, was pointing directly at Jiang Anmen's face.
Everything happened so fast...
Just as Jiang An was about to reach out and grab the man's wrist to fight back, Jiang Si's long sword had just been unsheathed.
Qi Shanyuan saw the tip of the knife and his heart stopped...
Without even having time to think, he reacted subconsciously, using all his strength to pull the little girl over and hold her in his arms.
Qi Shanyuan's back was completely exposed to the man holding the knife...
With a "puff", the warmth of blood covered his back.
Young Master Qi opened his eyes with trembling eyelashes, but the expected pain did not appear.
It turned out that Jiang Si's knife was faster than the man's dagger, and he cut the man's arm with one stroke!
