C77 At the Ferry

The waiter said, "There are a lot of restaurants in town, but only our store owner's Ju Ying Lou. It is divided into two levels and is often full. It is very difficult to find a place to sit while eating. Although it is early now, the number of customers passing by is many times more than usual. It's hard to say if there are any seats left."

Before the waiter could finish his words, a fat man in his forties with a smile on his round face and dressed like a businessman came over. He sized Du Qi, Qin Xin, and Little Lan up and down and asked, "Are the three of you looking for a place to stay?"

When the waiter saw that person, he hurriedly put on a smile and greeted, "Oh, so it's Manager Feng. Long time no see. Quickly invite him in and serve tea!"

Manager Feng hurriedly said, "No, no, no. I have to leave immediately. Tonight, my small courtyard will be rented to these three guests. But the rent must be paid by me."

The waiter said, "It should, it should be!" Then he said to Du Qi, "Customer, Manager Feng has booked a small courtyard in our shop. He seldom stays there. It is spacious and quiet. It is a good place!"

Du Qi could tell that Shopkeeper Feng did not know martial arts. He also saw that Shopkeeper Feng's face was full of dust. It was obvious that he was a proper businessman who had gone through a long journey. So he asked, "Shopkeeper Feng, how much rent do you want? It is too expensive. We cannot afford to stay there."

Shopkeeper Feng said, "I only charge for two rooms, a total of two taels of silver. This is the lowest price. We can't afford to pay less than 1 wen. If you don't leave, as long as I am not back, you can stay for a few days. In addition, as long as you stay in my courtyard... There's a special seat waiting for you on the Tower of Gathering Ying, but you have to pay for it yourself."

The waiter also said, "Yes. Apart from the small courtyard, Manager Feng also booked a table on the second floor of the Gathering Ying Restaurant to enjoy dinner. This is an opportunity that even money can't buy."

Hearing the words of Manager Feng and the waiter, Qin Xin was already jumping with joy and quickly said," There is actually such a good thing? We are staying! Little Liu quickly lead us over. After settling down, we will go to the Gathering Ying Restaurant to eat."

Du Qi was already moved by Qin Xin's words. When he heard Qin Xin's words, he quickly took out two taels of silver and paid for the room. Manager Feng took the silver and left alone.

The three of them followed the waiter to a courtyard. Du Qi saw that there were three main rooms in the courtyard. There were five side rooms, and the facilities in the room were luxurious and luxurious. There were bathhouses, kitchen, toilets, and other supplementary facilities. They were all available, and there was no lack of them. Qin Xin and Little Lan went to occupy one of the main rooms but left the middle one to Du Qi.

When the waiter saw that the three of them had settled down, he asked, "Customer, do you have any other instructions?"

Du Qi thought for a moment and said, "Why are so many people gathered here and not allowed to cross the river?"

The waiter said, "A group of soldiers came three days ago. They said that they were ordered by the mayor, General Wang, to fight the bandits and need to transport goods. They took the ferry away. It was Zhang Dashan from the Bright Moon Castle and the leader of the Yellow Stronghold in Breeze Camp who got a small ferry from somewhere. However, they couldn't satisfy the needs of the pedestrians on this road. Many people in town stayed for two days and didn't leave. It was said that some people had waited at the ferry for two whole nights, but still couldn't get on the ferry. Everyone was stuck here and couldn't leave. They did not want to go back to the city, but there were still people rushing over. I don't know how crowded it will be in the future. "

Qin Xin suddenly said, "No wonder I saw the flags with the words Qingfeng and Mingyue on the two boats in the river. So that's how it is."

At this moment, Du Qi suddenly felt that something was not right, but he did not know where the problem was. This was the first time he had such a feeling. He felt that it was both fresh and mysterious. He said, "Thank you, Brother Waiter. It's still early. Let's go out and eat first. We'll ask Little Liu for guidance when we return later."

The waiter hurriedly said, "Customer, you're too polite. Just call me if you need anything. I'll take my leave."

At this time, lunch time had passed and dinner was still early. Although the place was packed with people, it was still early. Du Qi, Qin Xin and Little Lan did not see many people when they rushed to Jueying Building. Just as they were about to enter, suddenly there was chaos on the left side and pedestrians scattered in all directions. There were actually two groups of more than ten people fighting each other. They chased along the street, with blades and swords coming and going. Blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Du Qi did not want to be meddlesome and was even more unwilling to cause trouble. He hurriedly pulled Qin Xin and Little Lan into the Gathering Ying Tower and saw that there were only a few people sitting in the hall on the first floor. It was not like what the waiter said, there were no seats.

Du Qi was about to bring Qin Xin and Little Lan upstairs when a waiter came over with a smile and warmly greeted, "Objective, what is the number of seats?"

Du Qi said, "Can't you come and eat without a location?"

That waiter smiled dryly and said, "Of course, but you have to wait until the guest who has reserved a seat has left before there is a seat."

Qin Xin smiled lightly and said, "Fortunately, we have already booked a seat. What is the location of the fifth upstairs?"

The waiter immediately put on a genuine smile when he heard that and politely said, "Treat the official and follow me!" After saying that, he respectfully led Du Qi and the other two up to the second floor. He brought them to a large table next to the street window and Du Qi naturally sat at the main seat. Qin Xin and Little Lan sat on the left and right side. When they raised their heads, the entire hall on the second floor was in their sights.

As soon as they stepped into the building, Du Qi heard someone sigh worriedly, "Breeze Camp and Bright Moon Castle have finally started a war. I really don't know how we are going to live like this. Sigh!"

Another person said, "It's strange. Just now, the people of Bright Moon Castle were clearly powerful. I wonder why they fled in defeat?"

It was obvious that no one could answer that person's question. That person then said angrily," No one cared about them even when they were fighting on the streets. Is there still a law in this world? "

The person who spoke just now said with a bitter smile, "Sigh, there is no law in this world. Otherwise, how would they dare to fight and kill on the streets at the crossing of King Xing's Mansion?" The two of them sighed at the same time. They were talking about something else.

Du Qi saw that there were more than twenty tables in the hall on the second floor. At this moment, most of them were occupied by different kinds of people. The noisy place was in stark contrast to the quiet and deserted place at the bottom of the building. There were many people sitting at each table except for the large table in the middle of the street. This person was young, at most 23 years old, with a handsome appearance. He had a majestic body and an intimidating aura. His long sword was placed horizontally on the table. He drank by himself, looking like a leisurely expert.

Looking at his appearance, it seemed that he had been sitting here for a long time. Whether it was the waiter or the other guests, they seemed to be accustomed to this young man monopolizing the table. They didn't even bother to look at him. As Du Qi was sizing up that person, that person also raised his head to look at him. He showed him a profound smile and a mouthful of white teeth.

When Qin Xin and Little Lan saw that young man, their beautiful eyes shot out an expression of shock. Half of their cherry lips moved as if they were shocked by his perfect wild and masculine appearance and figure.
