Treading Blood to Sky’s End Chapter 17: Looks familiar

There are many inns in Lianshan City, but the most famous one is Cangyu Inn, which is located on the side of Cross Avenue.

Cangyu is not a local inn in Lianshan. It has only arrived in Lianshan in recent years. In Zhang Tianliu's words, it is a five-star hotel in the national chain.

Looking from the front door, compared with the inn where he stayed, it was simply the difference between a mountain and a slope.

The mountain is naturally Cangyu, not because it is big in size, but because it is built with carved jade railings, and every part is exquisite. The inn uses rough bluestone floors, while Cangyu uses polished jade-like floors. Smooth slate, in terms of wood, the wood used is strong and tough, silent when stepped on, crisp and sweet when struck, as fascinating as a drum.

Because of the nationwide chain, all forces in Lianshan will not interfere. Of course, Cangyu Inn is also responsible for its duties and will never interfere in local affairs.

Zhang Tianliu even heard that Cang Yu is a bit like the Peace Hotel. As long as you check in, no one will dare to kill you there!

But the problem is, it’s not that you can live where you want. It’s not that it’s expensive, but it’s a matter of status. Even Zhao Yongdang, a wealthy businessman in Lianshan, is not qualified because he has insufficient background and is not from a famous family. How can a non-celebrity knight be qualified?

Zhang Tianliu didn't, but he was just passing by and looking for a friend to catch up on old times.

"Take a rest ahead." Zhang Tianliu pointed to the teahouse across the street, and Ah Qi followed without saying a word.

He came to the teahouse and sat down on the balcony on the second floor. After ordering a pot of tea and a plate of sponge cake, Zhang Tianliu looked quietly outside the Cangyu Inn.

It took more than half an hour to sit there. The tea was cold and the pastries were cold. Ah Qi really couldn’t figure out what this person was going to do.

Ordering tea and not eating cakes, is it just to rest?

Ah Qi stared at the sponge cake and swallowed secretly.

She has endured this for a long time.

The sponge cake was very fragrant when it was hot before, but now it is cold and has no fragrance, but for some reason Ah Qi feels it is more fragrant.

Suddenly, a hand pushed the pastry in front of her.

Ah Qi was stunned and looked up at Zhang Tianliu, only to see Zhang Tianliu looking across the street. He didn’t know what he was looking at, but it was indeed him who pushed the pastries in front of him.

Ah Qi's heart warmed up, and she was busy telling herself not to trust men!

But she was really hungry and couldn't bear the temptation. She carefully stretched out **** from her sleeves, picked up a piece of pastry and quickly stuffed it into her mouth.

"Cough cough cough..." After taking a few mouthfuls, he swallowed it.

"Cold dry sponge cake, drink some tea." Zhang Tianliu poured a cup of tea for Ah Qi and handed it over, but Ah Qi didn't know whether to accept it or not.

It was really uncomfortable to swallow, but she still didn't take it. Instead, she picked up the teapot and took a rough sip into her mouth.

Zhang Tianliu didn't care. He put down the tea cup and looked at the opposite side again.

Ah Qi was chewing the unfinished sponge cake in her mouth, looking for Zhang Tianliu and looking over curiously, but it was just a glance, and before she could see what was on the other side, she noticed that Zhang Tianliu suddenly got up and walked downstairs. .

Ah Qi didn't bother to swallow the last mouthful and hurriedly followed.

Zhang Tianliu, who seemed eager when he went downstairs, suddenly slowed down after going downstairs. He walked steadily and gracefully tossed a piece of silver to the shopkeeper. He left the teahouse and walked towards the Cangyu Inn opposite.

At this time, outside Cangyu Inn, a beast cart was parked in front of the door. Although the beast cart was small, it was extremely exquisite and gorgeous. Even the hair of the exotic beast pulling the cart was burning like flames. The breed was the most normal horse. !

The body shape is not much different from the horses Zhang Tianliu has seen, but looking at the strange beasts all over the street, this horse seems to be the only one in Lianshan City, which shows its rarity in this other world.

But Zhang Tianliu didn't care about this. What he wanted to see was the owner of the car.

Zhang Tianliu, who was pretending to pass by the carriage, paused and took a few steps back. Ah Qi, who was following him, was so frightened that he thought he was going to press against her chest again.

This is the street! No, not even on the street!

Ah Qi dodged and skillfully avoided Zhang Tianliu. Unexpectedly, Zhang Tianliu did not pursue him, but continued to retreat and came to stand in front of the carriage. In the doubtful eyes of the coachman, he stared at the coachman with a slight frown. .

"What's the matter with this young master?" The coachman felt uncomfortable being stared at.

Although he had seen Zhang Tianliu before, what he saw was Zhang Tianliu who was dressed in strange clothes and had extremely short hair. He was completely different from the handsome and handsome young man in front of him!

"I think you look familiar." Zhang Tianliu stared at the coachman and said.

The driver felt strange when he heard this. He looked at Zhang Tianliu carefully and said, "I think the young master also looks familiar."

Zhang Tianliu lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, took a step back, and his eyes fell on the embroidery of the family emblem on the hood of the car. After the sentence: "Lu family", he suddenly had a look of surprise on his face, shook his head and chuckled: "It turns out to be Brother Yihong's. Family, no wonder we look so familiar, we met once in Shengjing."

There are so many young masters from Shengjing, and there are not even ten thousand but eight thousand who have had a relationship with the coachman.

However, there are very few people who know his young master and can still remember him. The coachman was not sure for a moment, but he did not dare to reveal that he did not know the other person. Who knew that the person in front of him was the young master of that family? In short, he could not afford to offend him. of.

When he was hesitating how to deal with it, Zhang Tianliu solved the problem for him.

"Brother Yihong and I have been separated for some time in Taixue. I wonder how he is doing?"

We are more and more like the young master’s classmates! No wonder it looks familiar, I must have seen it outside Taixue.

Thinking of this, the coachman suddenly smiled and said: "Young Master, I am worried. My young master is very good, but he has not gone home to escape the summer. He said that he wanted to spend more time on his studies, and he stayed here almost every day. In the Jing Pavilion! ”

At this moment, a wealthy man walked out of Cangyu Inn. He looked to be no more than thirty years old. He was dressed in silk and satin, with a jade belt wrapped around his waist. The belt buckle was an ancient jade engraved with a two-headed snake pattern. .

I think this person is Lu Taiyong.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tianliu slightly raised his voice and said: "Brother Yihong is still so eager to learn. He is really a role model for us. It makes me ashamed. When the summer comes and I return to Beijing, I will definitely want to learn from Brother Yihong, so I can do it as soon as possible." Enter the inner courtyard."

As soon as he said this, Lu Taiyong, who had just entered the carriage, was stunned, frowning and looking at the young man in front of him.

About sixteen, younger than his son, to be able to enter the Imperial Academy, his qualifications are probably not simple! I don’t know which family the young master is from.

Lv Taiyong's eyes quickly moved around Zhang Tianliu. After finding no artifacts indicating his family background, he didn't care and said with a smile: "Who is this young master?"

The coachman was startled when he heard this. He turned around and said respectfully to Lu Taiyong: "Oh, this is the eldest son's classmate. The younger one has met him outside Taixue."

"Oh." Lu Taiyong's face was stunned, his smile became brighter, he approached Zhang Tianliu and said, "I don't know the name of my nephew, are you friends with me?"

Although it is abrupt, people should not be credulous. After all, this is a mountain, thousands of miles away from the Holy Capital. In a place where there are no wealthy families, how can a Taixue student appear here!

"It's human nature for Uncle Lu not to trust the younger generation. My name is Xia Houzhai. I can't tell you why I'm here. My relationship with your son is just an ordinary classmate. I'm just looking for him in Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com I deeply admire his hard work. We are both young people. When everyone is busy discussing romance, only my son is immersed in studying, which makes me think hard all the time. Who is wasting his youth?"

Lu Taiyong actually had the urge to cry!

He felt happy because of his son, and even more aware of his suffering!

It was because he pushed himself too hard. When he was his age, as Xia Houzhai said before him, his children were romantically involved, and they even became jealous and fought. However, his son could only study hard all day long, except for books. Or books, who is wasting their youth? Even at his age, he still can’t understand it!

"I really made my nephew laugh. If I have a chance, I will go to Xiguan to visit General Xiahou. I apologize."

Zhang Tianliu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Lu is serious."

There is only one Xiahou family in Xiguan, and it was also the Xiahou family in Wengcheng!

Wengcheng is the old city of Lianshan City. It was renamed Lianshan after it belonged to Luxi County. The Xiahou family during the Wengcheng period was not a wealthy family, just an ordinary small family. However, in Kunyang County in the north, there was a Xiahou who was more terrifying than the Lu family. Home! It has been passed down for three thousand years, and the General Xiahou mentioned by Lu Taiyong came from Kunyang County. He went to Wengcheng with the army and became famous in one battle, but he also left a lifetime of pain.

General Xiahou’s beloved wife died here!

Do you need to guess the purpose of Xiahou Zhai’s visit to Lianshan?

The one sleeping here is his grandmother!

No wonder they don’t want to mention it more. The Xiahou family of this lineage is as low-key as ever, and rarely mentions family affairs to outsiders. Perhaps General Xiahou had no choice but to leave home and leave Kun Yang.

Lv Taiyong knew very well that people from aristocratic families ran away from home. Who would be willing to give up his family background until he could no longer survive? Even if you want to create your own world, you don’t have to live forever without contacting each other!
