Chapter 115 Cuixiang Tower
This Fuya Street is not much different from the night snack street in the east part of the city. Because it is a special period, there are not many customers in the night market here than before. In addition to patrolling police officers, there are also some soldiers guarding the streets.
"The level of security here is much stricter than in the past, and the flow of people is quite reduced. However, the surrounding residents are not greatly affected, and they seem to be doing okay."
After a little observation of some nearby situations, Li Guhong chose to enter one of the restaurants called 'Cuixiang Restaurant'. If he remembered correctly, this restaurant was opened by the Tiger Shark Gang in the past, and now the Tiger Shark Gang
It is gone, but the business of this store seems not to have been affected. Although there is not much customer traffic now, the occupancy rate in Cuixiang Building is still quite high. At least Li Guhong can see from outside the store that in the lobby on the first floor.
The tables were packed with people.
As soon as Li Guhong stepped through the door with his left foot, the waiter from Cuixiang Building came up to him, bent down, and said politely with his quick mouth,
"Hey, sir, come and have something to eat. This way, please."
Although Li Guhong's face was young and he didn't look like a rich man, as a waiter who had been in this business for so long, he could tell at a glance that the clothes Li Guhong was wearing were not cheap.
The amber pattern cloth is not the shabby stuff they wear, but is used exclusively by warriors. This man looks young, and he must be a kid from a rich family who can afford to wear such clothes.
He started to pay attention when Li Guhong was standing outside the door, so as soon as Li Guhong stepped in, he hurriedly greeted him, and then led Li Guhong inside.
"Damn it, just find a place to sit. If it's not a private room, I don't want it. Find a good seat by the window."
Faced with the waiter's enthusiasm, Li Guhong was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything. Maybe this was the specialty service of Cuixianglou, so he followed the waiter to the second floor.
The decoration style of the store is also magnificent. Although the splendid hall looks a bit tacky, no matter in China or in this world, rich people are like this. The hall on the first floor is very noisy, and there are all kinds of people from all walks of life, including
There are a few who are shouting the most conspicuously. Most of their backs are exposed. They are very majestic with dragons and tigers on their bodies. Their cultivation level is not high. At least Li Guhong feels that they are in the middle stage of body training. He can tell at a glance.
The people on the "road", these people were hugging some "sisters" who were drinking and fist-fighting, and they looked at Ali who was very unhappy.
However, the middle-aged people sitting next to them quietly drinking wine caught Li Guhong's attention. There were not many warrior guests in the hall of Cuixiang Tower, at least twenty or thirty, but these few were the only ones.
Middle-aged people have the most low-key temperament, especially the middle-aged man who only drinks and doesn't talk. Although his Qi and blood appear to be in the body refining realm, Li Guhong's intuition tells him that this person has the lowest cultivation level.
It is also a state of nourishment.
The middle-aged man seemed to have sensed Li Guhong's exploration. He raised his head and looked in the direction of Li Guhong, and met Li Guhong face to face. Seeing the alert look cast by the middle-aged man, Li Guhong did not
Without the slightest hint of panic, he smiled at him calmly, and then continued to follow the waiter's footsteps.
In fact, Li Guhong only paid a little attention to the situation here. The purpose of his coming here today was to have a good meal and inspect the situation. He had nothing else to do and didn't want to be disturbed, let alone cause trouble. Those people below
He is also a customer, and if there is no trouble, he doesn't want to get involved, so at the moment he chooses to find a quieter box to enjoy his meal alone without being affected by the environment downstairs.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Li Guhong chose a good seat by the window. Outside the window was the tributary of the Xiaoqing River that ran through the city. His main purpose tonight was to eat and drink and find a quiet place with a good view.
Having a meal like this is a serious matter. Whether you encounter other things depends on your luck.
"Sir, what do you want to order today?"
As soon as Li Guhong took his seat, before he had time to appreciate the river view outside the window, several waiters came to help him make tea and water. The waiter who led him upstairs asked him with the dish sign.
What did Li Guhong want to eat? Li Guhong took the menu handed over by the waiter and didn't rush to browse it. Instead, he put it on the counter. His right hand was ready to take money from the storage bracelet, and then pretended to take it from his pocket.
He took out a large gold ingot.
"What is your best thing? Tell me, don't hide any good stuff. Just tell me, I'm not short of money."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed the big gold ingot on the menu, turned sideways and asked the waiter about some of the special dishes and signature dishes of the restaurant. Since you are here to eat, you should have a good meal and enjoy it. Money is very important.
To Li Guhong, it was really just a number. Apart from those silver medals, he also had a lot of gold and silver. What he usually spent the most on was food and drink.
What Li Ziya said to him before was correct. Warriors are not short of money. To be precise, warriors like him with high cultivation levels are not short of money. What warriors lack are training resources that money cannot buy. For others, this is
It is a fatal weakness, but for Li Guhong, there is a system to rely on. He does not lack training resources, he only lacks experience.
"Ah, sir, don't worry. Our Cuixiang Restaurant is one of the best restaurants in Qingshi City. Our dishes are all exquisite. The most famous one is Qiankun Roast Lamb, which brings good fortune from five blessings and eight delicacies.
Jinlong and jade tiger...."
Seeing Li Guhong's actions, the waiter's eyes widened. The big gold ingot on the counter was as big as his fist. Let alone a meal, he would have lived here for several weeks to eat and drink.
There is no problem with eating and drinking. I have really received a big customer this time. As long as I serve this man well, the reward from the shopkeeper will definitely be indispensable to me.
The waiter was overjoyed and kept telling the names of the dishes. The series of names made Li Guhong confused. Before he could even think about what the dish looked like, the waiter told him another dish.
,
"Steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roasted flower duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose, braised pig, braised duck, soy sauce chicken, bacon, pine flower tripe, dried meat, sausage, assorted Su plate, smoked chicken
White belly, steamed eight-treasure pig, duck stuffed with glutinous rice, canned pheasant, canned quail..."
"Okay, okay, okay, don't report everything to others, pick a few of the most expensive ones and serve them to me first. If they taste good, I will come back next time."
Seeing that the waiter seemed to be about to talk about cross talk, Li Guhong quickly interrupted him and asked him to go down and serve the most expensive dish to Li Guhong. Otherwise, if he waited for him to finish speaking, Li Guhong would
Hong Mingming must have heard enough.
"Hello, sir, please wait a moment. We'll go down and ask someone to prepare the food."
The waiter didn't have any unnecessary emotions after being interrupted by Li Guhong to announce the names of the dishes. Instead, he continued to bend down and listen to Li Guhong's instructions. Just when he was about to pack up and leave, Li Guhong again
Speak.
"Hey, wait a minute."
"Any further instructions, sir?"
After being stopped by Li Guhong, the waiter quickly stopped, turned around and asked Li Guhong with a smile.
"Who were those green-skinned men downstairs just now? They were so arrogant in the hall, don't you think it's noisy?"
The originally smiling waiter suddenly became nervous when he heard Li Guhong's question. He quickly waved his hand and made a silent gesture, and looked around in panic to make sure that no one around could hear him before leaving.
He walked into Li Guhong's side and whispered to him,
"My lord, my lord, please keep your voice down. Those gentlemen downstairs are not simple. Don't let anyone hear you, otherwise you will get into trouble."
Seeing the nervous posture of the waiter, Li Guhong was also a little curious. The cultivation level of the people downstairs was not very high. It stands to reason that the Tiger Shark Gang behind Cuixiang Tower has fallen, but he is not afraid.
Are these warriors at the Body Refining Realm, or is it that after the Tiger Shark Gang disappears in the south of the city, they are really just shallow-water fools, and the big brothers are everywhere?
"What's your background? You're so arrogant. I've never been afraid of anyone in Qingshi City. Just say whatever you want. I'll take care of you if you need anything."
Regarding the waiter's worries, Li Guhong seemed to be indifferent. What he said was very arrogant, at least in the eyes of the waiter, but Li Guhong was telling the truth. Apart from Li Ziya, he didn't care about the waiter in Qingshi City.
Except for Wei Li, Tan Yong, Xu Yiqing and so on (the names of more than a dozen people are omitted above), he has really never been afraid of anyone. He was not afraid when his cultivation level was low before, and he is even less afraid now that his cultivation level is high.
"No, sir, I'm really not joking. These people are all members of the famous Benma Gang. This gang was originally in the area in the north of the city. After the Tiger Shark Gang disappeared, we originally
Cuixiang Tower was handed over to the Jiaolong Gang. I don’t know how the Galloping Horse Gang came out, but they just snatched our piece of Cuixiang Tower from the mouth of the Jiaolong Gang. Since then, most of the land in the south of the city has been destroyed.
Under the control of the Benma Gang, those downstairs are responsible for watching over our Cuixiang Building."
The waiter in the shop quickly told Li Guhong some "inside information" that he knew. He did not dare to raise his voice loudly, and there was a hint of trembling in his tone. It seemed that he was also leaning against Li Guhong's ear.
Only then do you dare to say that.
"Oh, I didn't expect it to come from this, but we are not afraid of the Benma Gang. Even if his gang leader Ma Dakui comes in person, we are not afraid. It's okay. Don't be afraid either. I won't tell anyone what happened today. Go down.
.”
Seeing that the waiter in the shop still looked nervous, Li Guhong felt a little funny but also a little sad. For powerful warriors like him, there was nothing to be afraid of from this gang or that faction. Anyway, as long as he provoked
When trouble comes, he can use the name of Tianjian Division to deal with them. He was not afraid when he had a fight with the Jiaolong Gang, and the same is true for the Galloping Horse Gang now.
This is for him, but for ordinary people like the waiter, these warriors with low strength in Li Guhong's eyes are all big shots, the kind of big shots who can really take control of their own lives. If the waiter, he
If you accidentally say the wrong thing, you may even lose your life. This is not without such examples in Cuixiang Tower. In the past, there were a few ignorant brothers who got into trouble with the people in the Tao, and in the end they ended up inexplicably.
disappeared, so when Li Guhong mentioned the gang downstairs, the waiter in the shop seemed extremely nervous.
"If the guest officer has no other instructions, I will go down and prepare the dishes."
Seeing that Li Guhong stopped and continued to ask what he meant, the waiter in the shop also touched the non-existent sweat on his forehead. He was really afraid that Li Guhong would continue to ask questions. He couldn't tell, so he asked if this was good for everyone.
Just when the waiter was about to turn around and leave, Li Guhong took out a silver bullet the size of a thumb and put it into the waiter's pocket. He leaned on the chair behind him and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"Okay, remember, I didn't ask anything tonight, and you didn't say anything. Just keep the money and treat it as the information fee from the master. Don't expose it."
Little people have the sorrow of little people. Li Guhong also understands this. He will not be less rewarded, but not too much. For him, he will not pay more attention to this small amount of money if it falls on the ground, but
For the waiter in this shop, it is probably a month's wages. Li Guhong understands the principle of rising rice favors and fighting rice enemies.
The waiter didn't say anything, just nodded hard and walked out of Li Guhong's box. Now there was no one else in the box except Li Guhong, and the room fell into silence again, and Li Guhong didn't mind it being deserted.
, turned his head towards the window and looked at the Xiao Qinghe outside the window.
I don’t know since when, the sky has completely cleared. Both sides of the Xiaoqing River are already brightly lit, and there are several small boats floating on the river. Although Li Guhong is on the second floor of the Cuixiang Building, due to the terrain,
The reason is that his position is quite high, and he can have a panoramic view of the scenery on the other side. When he looks closely, a picture of the sunset over the river appears in front of his eyes.
"How much better it would be if there weren't so many broken things in Bluestone City and the people could live and work in peace and contentment. First there was the Jiaolong Gang, the Tiger Shark Gang, and then the Yang Zijiang Yinlian Sect. These bastards came one after another. It's really
It’s overwhelming, but the hardest thing to bear is that we seem to be caught in an invisible web, and it seems impossible to escape.”
Seeing the harmonious scene outside the window, Li Guhong sighed secretly. Too many things have happened in Qingshi City recently. Fortunately, their Tianjian Division has a strong ability and can quickly calm down everything.
Everything is still under their control, but this also brings a lot of pressure, both known and unknown.
He is just a young policeman who can have so many worries and worries, not to mention how much pressure the real big guys in Qingshi City like Li Ziya are under. In the past few days, he can take advantage of the fact that he doesn't have to carry out missions and relax.
