Chapter 152: Master Zhao
Seeing the owners enjoying their meals, Zhang Fugui took the opportunity to smile again and said, "I have some good news to tell you today. The people at the pawn shop have helped us find another suitable shop. It's right in the center of Baxingfang. I plan to go over and take a look this afternoon. If it's suitable, we can sign the contract today."
"Really?"
Hearing Zhang Fugui's words, several people's eyes lit up -
Finally found the right place again.
Baxingfang is also a well-known market in the capital. Although it is not as famous as Mingyuefang, but...
The most central location in Baxingfang is a prime location!
It will still be helpful for the future development of Yanlou.
Yunyue is also very confident that in the future, wherever her Yanlou is located, that will be the commercial center of the capital.
"I'll go with you this afternoon. If possible, we can take over a few more small shops in Baxingfang." Yun Yue said slowly.
"Okay, Mr. Yun." Zhang Fugui nodded, then retreated tactfully.
After Zhang Fugui left, the people in the private room simply ate a few bites and left Mingyue Tower. After all, they were still waiting to go to Mantanghong to watch the fun at noon today!
**
In Mingyuefang, before noon, the whole room was already crowded with people who were watching the show.
These people were excited and nervous, with a little fear in their expectant eyes. Almost everyone subconsciously stood far away, leaving a large space empty in front of the Mantanghong door.
"This capital city has nothing but a lot of people."
Dong Pingle was sitting on the third floor of Qingfeng Teahouse opposite Mantanghong and spoke slowly.
Because he was sitting next to the window, he had the best view. He could just see the panoramic view of the red house across the street, and naturally he could also see the onlookers.
"People are always interested in strange stories, but... you don't really believe there are monsters in the Mantanghong, do you?"
Liu Cheng'an sat opposite Dong Pingle, looking at his good friend helplessly.
Although Dong Pingle had no interest in a career in politics, he was born into a wealthy family and was knowledgeable and experienced, unlike the common people.
"Ghosts are very mysterious. If you believe in them, they exist. If you don't believe in them, they don't exist."
Dong Pingle smiled brightly at Liu Cheng'an. "I heard from the Meng family that Meng Haowen really did meet a stunning fox demon in this Mantanghong. It's said that the fox girl is so beautiful that she's even more gorgeous than Gu Yanhuan. I'm really curious. If I had known earlier, I should have agreed to Meng Nianqiao and kept this Mantanghong. It would be great if I could catch a glimpse of that fox girl in this life!"
As he spoke, Dong Pingle's face was full of anticipation, and the glimmer in his eyes didn't seem fake at all.
Liu Chengan's face was full of black lines.
So, you just want to see beautiful women, right?
Speaking of Gu Yanhuan...
Liu Cheng'an stared intently at the long street downstairs, and just happened to see that familiar figure out of the corner of his eye. She was here too?
Liu Cheng'an's gaze stayed on Gu Yanhuan for only a moment, and then he noticed a familiar figure in the crowd. The man was wearing a veil, but it could not hide his cold temperament.
is her.
Liu Cheng'an remembered the girl he almost bumped into in Baicaotang. She was also wearing a veil at the time, but the moment she dodged him, the breeze gently brushed the veil over her face, and Liu Cheng'an caught a glimpse and saw her face.
That face...
very familiar.
Over the years, Liu Cheng'an has been trying to recall where he had seen that girl before and why she looked so familiar to him.
"What are you looking at?"
Dong Pingle saw Liu Cheng'an opposite him seemed to be staring at something in a trance, so he subconsciously followed Liu Cheng'an's line of sight, but he only saw a dark crowd, and there was nothing eye-catching at all. However, Dong Pingle soon found the figures of Gu Yanhuan and Jiang Jiang on the other side of the crowd.
"Oh, Gu Yanhuan is really here, and that girl is with him."
Dong Pingle still remembered that last time in Butterfly Garden, it was that girl who accompanied Gu Yanhuan. Well, her acting was a bit exaggerated, but the little girl was quite interesting.
It seems that she has a very good relationship with Gu Yanhuan!
**
On the long street, Jiang Jiang kept holding Gu Yanhuan's hand. There were too many people around, and she was afraid that the two of them would get separated.
As for Huang E'er and Yun Yue, they also came, but the four of them did not stand together. Because Yun Yue did not want to attract other people's attention at the moment, she and Huang E'er chose to stand in the other direction to watch the fun.
"Here they come, here they come! Everyone, make way!"
Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, and then the huge crowd really parted to create a gap, leaving a path.
"Master Zhao! It's Master Zhao!"
"I heard that Master Zhao is very powerful and can definitely subdue this evil monster!"
There was another burst of noise in the crowd, with countless people talking in low voices.
Jiang Jiang stood in the crowd and looked up at the man walking slowly towards them. The man called Zhao Tianshi looked to be in his forties, with a long beard and wearing a set of Tianshi robes that were quite popular in Qingyun Country. In Qingyun Country, Tianshi was also a profession that needed to be reported to the government, and the blue and white Tianshi robes were actually their work clothes.
Jiang Jiang looked at Master Zhao wearing a blue and white robe and a jade crown, and was suddenly transported back to the modern era, watching a fantasy drama.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord."
Master Zhao recited the incantation and walked to the gate of Mantanghong with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. Behind him followed two little Taoist boys and people from the Meng family.
Jiang Jiang spotted Meng Haowen right away. He looked a little pale, especially when he reached the entrance to Mantanghong. Meng Haowen didn't know what he was thinking of, and his legs were trembling a little, but he still insisted on walking to Zhao Tianshi's side and whispered, "Well, Zhao Tianshi, if you can subdue her, please do so. Don't... kill her. I want to keep her."
That Tushan...fox girl, is quite pretty.
It would be a pity to kill him.
Hearing Meng Haowen's words, Master Zhao Tianshi's eyebrows moved slightly——
He had seen many people who were extremely bold and lustful, but it was rare to see someone like Young Master Meng who faced the demon head-on.
"I will try my best."
Master Zhao agreed casually, then gave a wink to his two disciples. The two little Taoist boys began to set up the scene, while the servants of the Meng family looked pale and carefully opened the iron lock on the door of the Mantanghong.
With a "creak", the door opened slightly. The servant didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt a gust of cold wind blowing towards him. He was so scared that he quickly ran to the side, shivering.
The crowd of onlookers around gradually quieted down, and everyone subconsciously held their breath and paid attention to any movement at the entrance of Mantanghong.
