Chapter 265 Long time no see [4k small chapter for monthly ticket]
Daxia, Kyoto.
Among the teahouses and restaurants on East Main Street, all the teagoers' attention was focused on a scholar at this moment.
In other words, their attention at this time was all focused on a monkey.
It is obviously different from ordinary monkeys, because its smart eyes are the same as those of humans, which makes it even more lovable.
This monkey is so lucky that he was chosen by this scholar. It seems that this scholar is about to become prosperous now.
However, Liang Du was not at all what they thought, and he refused directly without any discussion.
This made the young man who just wanted to buy the Monkey King not know how to answer the question.
Generally speaking, when facing yourself, even if the scholar across from you doesn't want to buy or sell that monkey, you will still pay attention to your words.
After all, my status is not ordinary. No ordinary person would treat me like this, not looking at the face of a monk but the face of a Buddha.
However, he really didn't expect that the scholar opposite him would reject him so directly. Therefore, it can only be said that there is only one possibility.
The other party does not know himself.
After all, there were very few people on the East Street of Kyoto who didn't know him, the young marquis.
Not to mention anything else, just by looking at the surprised eyes of the tea guests around, you can tell that they are also surprised by the other scholar's attitude towards him at this time.
When Ren Chunsheng thought of this, he couldn't help but feel helpless. He was afraid that the other party was a scholar who didn't know his status, so it would be a waste of words.
Judging from the scholar's clothes, he doesn't look like he comes from a poor family, so it can be inferred that this scholar does not belong to a family from which state.
However, it can only be said that he may have been a little negligent. Since he arrived in Kyoto, he didn't even know to inquire about the situation in Kyoto.
Fortunately, you have to pay attention to your image outside, so you have to be reasonable in the teahouse.
Ren Chunsheng, who had these concerns, did not change his face because the other party rejected him directly, feeling that he had lost face.
However, in the face of the other party's rejection, he still didn't want to give up. He wanted to fight for it again and let the scholar sell the monkey to him.
"My friend, you don't have to be so anxious to reject me. How about you listen to my price first and then make a decision?
I am willing to give you three thousand taels of silver in exchange for this monkey. If it is not a financial problem, I can also promise you to do something within my power."
Upon hearing Ren Chunsheng's conditions, the guests around him couldn't help but take a breath of air and looked at Liang Du with envy.
They couldn't help but secretly sigh, this scholar is really lucky, this is simply pie in the sky.
If only I were the one who got hit by the pie!
However, the result surprised them because the scholar once again rejected Ren Chunsheng's kindness.
You know, Ren Chunsheng was the son of a military lord in Kyoto.
Without talking about his identity, let’s just say that at a young age, he is already a figure at the peak of the Night Traveler.
Therefore, the people in Kyoto call him the Little Marquis, not only because of his noble status, but also because of his extraordinary talents and promising future.
Because of this, after Liang Du rejected Ren Chunsheng cleanly once again, the tea drinkers around him looked at him as if they were a fool.
If a monkey can be exchanged for the friendship of young Marquis Ren Chunsheng, no matter how you calculate it, it is a very cost-effective thing.
Faced with Liang Du's rejection again, Ren Chunsheng's expression remained unchanged and his face was still full of joy.
There was no expression change on his face, which made the tea drinkers around him praise him once again.
As expected of the young Marquis, his magnanimity and magnanimity are indeed extraordinary and one cannot help but admire him. This must be the tolerance that only the young Marquis possesses.
At this time, Liang Du suddenly raised his head and glanced at Ren Chunsheng, which was meaningful.
When Ren Chunsheng saw Liang Du's eyes, his heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, he felt a little panicked.
However, nothing happened next. Liang Du lowered his head immediately, and Ren Chunsheng felt that nothing happened.
He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but he still murmured a little in his heart. Could it be that what he just felt was his own illusion?
He glanced at the Great Sage again at this time, and the fondness in his eyes had not faded, but he still felt pity in his heart.
The scholar didn't want to sell it, but if it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to let go of such an agile monkey.
At this time, he saw Liang Du concentrating on drinking tea without even looking at him. Knowing that the matter could not be undone, he stood up, paid for the tea and left.
After Ren Chunsheng disappeared, other tea drinkers in the teahouse shook their heads, lamenting that someone had missed the opportunity.
If only I were that scholar, I would be on the line with the young Marquis from now on, and I would have a backer in Kyoto.
However, people always envy other people's lives. They face things that others don't want at all, but they are treasures that they can't get.
The Great Sage didn't care about this at the moment. When he saw Liang Du rejecting the other party directly and not wanting to betray himself, he stopped grinning.
This monkey couldn't help but take a sip from the tea bowl, but the next moment, it had a sad face again.
It seems that this tea really doesn’t taste good. It’s not that I wasn’t used to it at the first sip, but that this tea just tastes like this.
I didn't expect that my master would like to drink this kind of thing. It can only be said to be a human hobby, but it is really strange.
Thinking of this, it no longer forced itself to drink tea, and jumped directly onto Liang Du's shoulders without even looking at the tea in the bowl.
Liang Du couldn't help but patted the Great Sage on the shoulder. This monkey really didn't understand good things.
The tea-making skills of this Kyoto tea house are really good.
At this time, Liang Du ignored the looks of the tea guests around him and continued to sip the tea with his head lowered, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Why are there always some hypocrites who want to act the same way before others but cause trouble behind others!?
Someone looks like he's going to die!
…
While Liang Du was waiting for someone to come and seek death, Ye Zhensi had an old friend sitting in a daze alone.
After Cao Yiyi learned the news that Liang Du had arrived in Kyoto, she wanted to go out immediately to look for Liang Du's traces.
Ye Zhensi is surveying the entire Kyoto, so as long as Liang Du does not hide his traces, someone will naturally know the news about Liang Du.
When the time comes, I don't need to appear in front of him, I can just look at him in the dark. I don't know how he is doing now.
However, before she could take any action, she suddenly saw her captain walking up to her.
He looked at himself in his eyes, which was quite strange.
This made Cao Yiyi feel a little strange. Is there anything unusual about him today?
However, she carefully checked her whole body and found nothing wrong.
Therefore, she couldn't help but look at the captain and took the initiative to ask:
"Colonel Lieutenant, when you look at me like this, do you have a case that you need me to handle?"
When the captain heard this, he shook his head directly and then said to her: "Actually, I'm not looking for you, it's the guard who just sent the message and asked you to go and look for him."
"guard!?"
When Cao Yiyi heard this, she couldn't help being stunned.
This is the governor of the Night Town Division in Kyoto, the most important person in Kyoto. I have only heard of him and have never met him.
Previously, Guardsman was a peak figure in the daily game, but after upgrading to the world stage, he immediately broke through the shackles and became a real-person master.
At that time, some people said that it was not that the guardian had always stayed in the realm of the day traveler and could not improve his cultivation, but that the level of the world at that time could only be the peak existence of the day traveler.
Therefore, once the world stage is upgraded, Guard Ye Zhensi will immediately become a real-person master.
And this is the existence of Yezhensi Guards, who is extremely powerful and keeps his word in Kyoto.
However, why was he, an ordinary town guard who had not even broken through to the realm of Night Traveler, suddenly summoned for questioning by the guard?
It's actually not surprising that Guard Ye Zhensi knew about his existence, but suddenly calling him over to ask questions was a bit confusing.
When the captain saw the absent-minded Cao Yiyi, he was not in a hurry. When she came to her senses, he took her away and walked to the backyard of Ye Zhensi.
The third level of the backyard.
This is a very mysterious place in Yezhensi.
It is a place where only people with certain permissions and positions can enter.
It has been more than half a year since Cao Yiyi joined the Kyoto Night Town Division, but she has never been here once in such a long time.
At this time, she couldn't help but feel a little sudden in her heart, and finally couldn't help but be curious, and asked as she walked: "Captain, can you reveal some information to me?
I was suddenly called over by the guard, which made me feel really unsure.
I am also afraid that I will be too nervous and answer the wrong questions. If this implicates the captain, it will be my fault."
In fact, if it were Cao Yiyi in Yongcheng, she would not have thought of this. After all, she would not care about other people's feelings at that time.
However, Cao Yiyi now has learned to consider other people's feelings after Ye Zhensi's experience in Kyoto.
At this time, the captain also felt that Cao Yiyi was really nervous, so he quickly began to comfort her.
"Don't worry, this time is not a bad thing, and you will know next that this task is actually very suitable for you. I hope that after you know the task, you will not refuse it directly, but you can think more about it."
"ah?"
Cao Yiyi couldn't help but be surprised. Although the captain's words were very vague, they made Cao Yiyi feel a little relieved.
It seems that going to see the guard this time may not really be a big deal. It's right to think about it this way. If it were really a big deal, it would be impossible to find him.
After Cao Yiyi felt relieved, she stopped thinking about it.
The troops will come to block it, and the water will come to cover it up.
At that time, if you really can't do the guarding task, you can only refuse.
I think back when I was in Yongcheng, if Liang Du hadn't secretly helped me, I might have killed many of my fellow detectives because I was so arrogant at that time.
At this time, Cao Yiyi had already become more stable.
Just when Cao Yiyi was thinking about Liang Du, the two of them finally arrived at the third floor of Ye Zhensi's backyard.
And here, she saw Ye Zhensi's guarding appearance for the first time.
"Guard, I have brought Cao Yiyi here."
At this moment, Commander Ye Zhensi was writing hard on his desk, as if he was still dealing with something important.
After the captain made the announcement, he said nothing more, and then the whole room fell into silence.
After more than half a year of experience, Cao Yiyi had become more patient. At this time, she didn't make any moves and didn't dare to look around at all.
After a while, Guard Ye Zhensi finally raised his head, looked at Cao Yiyi and smiled slightly.
In an instant, the somewhat dull atmosphere just now was swept away by the guard's smile.
"Cao Yiyi?"
"The humble duty is here."
"Don't be so restrained. I just want to see you this time. I remember that you are from Yongcheng, right?"
Cao Yiyi nodded after hearing this.
The guard did not pursue the question further, but continued: "At that time, before you joined the Yezhensi Guards, you were working as a detective in Yongcheng. So, you should know Liang Du, right?"
"ah!?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Yiyi, who had been lowering his head to reply, immediately raised his head and looked at the guard with a stunned look on his face.
"Don't be surprised. Our Night Town Division will definitely investigate your information, otherwise we won't accept people with unknown origins.
You should also know the situation of the war in the North by now. This Liang Du is an extremely skilled person in the realm of real people.
I believe that with your intelligence, you should know what I am going to say next.
This person should stay in our Kyoto for a while, after all, his prisoner is currently being held in our Night Town Division.
As long as the results of the interrogation have not come out, it is impossible for us to return these two people to Liang Du before then.
Therefore, during this interrogation period, as his old friend, you will replace me, Ye Zhensi, as his guide in Kyoto. I wonder how you feel about this task?"
When Cao Yiyi heard this, she didn't reply for a long time. At this moment, there was only one thought left in her mind.
That is, she didn't expect that after half a year, she would meet Liang Du again.
Moreover, this is what Ye Zhensi wants to find Liang Du by himself, and then serve as the hub of their contact.
No matter how she thought about it, even if she didn't know Liang Du, she would agree to it after Governor Ye Zhensi told him this. After all, this was a mission.
What's more, since they are Liang Du's old friends, it is even more impossible for them to find someone more suitable than themselves.
Ye Zhensi must have known Liang Du's whereabouts in Kyoto, so they arranged for them to contact Liang Du.
Otherwise, no one can be found, so what’s the point of this mission?
Thinking of this, she finally raised her head, looked at Guard Ye Zhensi, and nodded directly, indicating that she had agreed to take on this task.
"very good!"
Guard Ye Zhensi was very happy.
In this way, I have less worries.
"However, you must stay with Mr. Liang well from now on. I can let you decide everything beforehand. You have the highest authority for this mission.
Of course, I'm not worried about Mr. Liang's safety in Kyoto. I'm worried that some people in Kyoto are blind and accidentally bump into Mr. Liang.
However, of course, this may also be wishful thinking on our part.
If you go and find Mr. Liang this time, and he doesn’t want you to accompany him as a guide, then I won’t blame you if you come back first, just don’t worry.”
"Yes, guard."
Seeing that Cao Yiyi completely understood what he meant, Ye Zhensi told her the location of Liang Du's teahouse on East Street in Kyoto.
After Cao Yiyi retreated, she didn't waste a moment. She packed up and headed to the East Street Tea House.
By the time she arrived at the teahouse, Ren Chunsheng had already left, and the entire teahouse had returned to calm.
However, she saw Liang Du in the teahouse with just one glance.
This person, placed among the crowd, can be said to be outstanding, like standing out from the crowd, always so distinct.
When she got the news about Liang Du before, she was indeed a little excited, but by this time she had calmed down.
However, when I thought that Liang Du had reached the realm of a real person and was actually sitting in front of me, I still couldn't help but feel a little unable to control my emotions.
Liang Du also raised his head at this time and smiled directly when he saw Cao Yiyi.
Meeting old friends from a foreign land is one of the great pleasures in life.
At this moment, all Cao Yiyi's eyes were on was this smiling man.
At this time, when she saw Liang Du whispering four words to her, she couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
