Chapter 156 Entering the city

When Ada took Shi Wu into the city gate, the black armored soldiers passing by looked at Ada and Shi Wu. They could vaguely see that the old man and the young man were not restrained by Qin Du's power. Ada also smiled and looked at the black armored soldiers. The ancient well was in Ada's eyes, but the black armored soldiers seemed to see a sea of ​​blood in Ada's eyes. Their gun-holding hands kept tightening, as if they were patiently not letting themselves get out of control.

Seeing that the power of the Black Armored Army of Qindu was achieved, Ada pretended to be unintentionally pointing at the Jumen next to him and said, "Xiao Wu, look, the tiger on this exquisite iron Jumen is exactly the same as the one written in the book. Your husband said that it is better to see the Qindu Jing than to travel thousands of miles. What do you think when you see him today?"

Shi Wu was so smart that he immediately cooperated tacitly and said, "Grandpa A, I just looked at it from a distance and thought there was really a tiger on the door. Fortunately, I always remember what the teacher said to me, so I didn't scare me so much."

The black armored soldiers listened to the two of them and their nervous mood gradually relaxed.

Asa and Shiwu walked slowly past, looking at the arch made of huge rocks above their heads, Asa said to Shiwu: "Get in, there are more magical inside."

Shi Wu smiled and nodded, and followed in happily.

The black armored troops did not take action, nor did they inquire about it. Because they were more confident in the black armored troops in Qindu, and it had been a long time since outsiders dared to cause trouble in Qindu. They didn't believe that anyone would come here to seek death on the 50th birthday of Emperor Shengde.

When you pass through the city gate, you will see the streets paved with thick stone slabs. The streets are wide and the surrounding facilities are displayed in an orderly manner. The first impression that Shi Wu gave him here is the word "rules". However, for Shi Wu now, these rules are only used on others. He has already jumped out of the Qindu momentum. Although he still feels shocked, it is just shocking.

Shi Wu looked around and asked A Da: "Grandpa A, should we go directly to the Shi family or find a place to live first?"

Ada thought for a while and said, "The Shi family is still far away from here. Let's find an inn to stay in first, and wait until I go to explore the situation in the city later."

Just as Shi Wu nodded in agreement, a group of people next to him rode a high-headed horse and galloped by. Ada pulled Shi Wu to his side and narrowly avoided the horse under the crotch of the man. Ada and the man looked at each other, and the man wearing a yellow cloak with a stool continued to wave the whip and rode his horse without even returning his head. The crowd of horse riders following him was also whipped up and followed him.

Shi Wu almost cursed, but Ada stopped him now, and only heard Ada say, "If you can be so rampant in Qindu, you are either rich or noble. Let's bear it for the time being. If our Shi family's journey goes well, you will get rid of all the cold and sickness, and we will leave in a low-key manner. Just think that the ancestors have accumulated virtue and we have done good deeds. If your cold and sickness have not healed, then I will help you get all the people who have messed with you before leaving Qindu."

"It's so good." Shi Wu said with a smile, "You remember the appearance of that person just now, Grandpa, Grandpa."

"He walked too fast, I took a look, but I remembered it." Ada replied.

Shi Wu nodded and said, "Hmph, what about the people in Qindu? I have my grandfather!"

As he said that, Shi Wu held his head up and walked proudly in front of him, as if you were capable of making me mess with me. Shi Wu was really the first foreigner who dared to walk arrogantly in Qindu like this.

When Ada behind Shi Wu coughed a few times and pointed to another direction, Shi Wu realized that he had gone wrong and followed Ada quickly and obediently.

When Ada took Shi Wu to stay, he walked away with four inns in a row. The shop owners said that they were full and asked them to continue to look into the city.

Because it was Emperor Shengde's fiftieth birthday, the Qin State's popularity this time was greatly increased. Some Qin people from other places came to Qindu to see the grand occasion. This also caused the shortage of guest rooms in Qindu Outer City these days. Because of the price, the farther away from the city, the faster the inn is, and it will be more and more popular for several days. The room price here is much cheaper than the location in the city, but it is just compared to the city. Now the most popular inn in Qindu Outer City starts at ten taels of silver a night, and this is still priceless.

Seeing this, Shi Wu actually felt like he was going to sleep on the street. He asked secretly: "Grandpa, we won't sleep on the street for a night, right?"

Ada dispelled his thoughts and said, "No."

"Oh, then I'll be relieved." Shi Wu saw that Ah Da said no, so he would definitely not be on the streets, so he asked again, "Then where do we live, Grandpa Ah?"

Seeing Shi Wu misunderstood, Ada told him: "You see there are many pedestrians on the street, are there beggars wandering?"

Shi Wu recalled that he had never seen a beggar or something along the way. Shi Wu got another answer in his heart, but he was still uncertain: "No way?"

"Yes." Ada affirmed Shi Wu's answer this time and said, "There will not be beggars in Qin, so you don't think about sleeping on the streets. At night, the black armored army who patrols the city will throw anyone who dares to sleep on the street out of Qindu. Even if that person becomes successful in the future, he will not think about stepping into Qindu again."

Shi Wu's little thoughts arose again: "What if that man fell to the ground when he was drunk?"

Ada really admires Shi Wu. Everything can be done from another perspective. Adada said: "If you fall drunk and fall on the ground, the Black Armor Army will find out your identity, and the dignitaries and nobles will escort them all the way to your home. The rich and famous people will carry them back in sedan chairs. As for those who have no money or reputation, they will be thrown out as homeless people."

Shi Wu said strangely: "Grandpa, why are you so familiar with the rules here? You won't be before..."

"No, no, I'm not like you thought." Some bad memories surged in Ada's mind, but if he knew that Shi Wu would think wrongly if he didn't explain, he said, "It's not your Grandpa Xu! He used to live here forever, and I often went back with him drunk."

"Oh, no wonder." Shi Wuming said.

"Huh?" As if he had thought of something, Ada took Shi Wu to the east end of the city.

When Shi Wu and Ada passed through the crowded streets and came to a five-story restaurant called Zuixianlou, the waiter at the door warmly greeted him and said, "Two guests, it's almost evening. Do you want to play the top or stay in a hotel? Our Zuixianlou is an old inn in Qindu. No one would say anything that has been around for you. Especially our signature Zuixianlou, which is something that the immortals have to taste when they smell it."

Ada asked, "What price do you have?" Ada remembers that the rooms in Zuixianlou were not low before. Now that it is approaching the fiftieth birthday of Emperor Shengde, the prices of rooms here will definitely rise.

The waiter replied: "We have all the houses with herringbone and earth sizes, and only the houses with four and five floors above are left. And there are not many rooms. After the Qindu celebration begins tomorrow, they will probably be fully occupied."

"How much does one cost?" asked Ada.

The waiter looked at the old and young people in front of him, and he didn't look very rich. The price of the Tianzi Room in Zuixianlou can be said to be outrageously high now. He couldn't bear to speak, but he thought that since it was a business, he had to talk about the price. He replied: "The Tianzi Room is 200 taels of silver a night, and three meals a day."

Shi Wu was choked and coughed for a while. He really didn't expect the price of the room here to be so expensive. He murmured in his heart: "Is this living in the sky? It's so expensive!"

Ada obviously expected the price, but he also had his own ideas. He asked, "Is your boss still the last name Zeng?"

The waiter didn't know why the customer asked their boss's name and nodded, "It's a good surname. Guest, are you?"

A Dadao: "I'll go in and meet me first. Maybe he can give me a discount when he sees me?"

The waiter at the shop felt that the customer was joking. Their boss was famously stingy. Even if relatives came to live, they had to persuade him for a long time to waive some money and asked him to give a discount to strangers, because they were afraid that the sun would come out from the west.

But now the sun is just west, and Ada took Shi Wu into the Zuixian Tower. Shi Wu saw that the cross beams of the tables and benches here were all made of the best huanghuali wood. As soon as he entered the hall, a fragrance wafted, which made people feel refreshed.

It was already evening, and guests were gradually sitting on the tables for dining on the two floors of Zuixian Building. Ada walked to the counter and looked at the gray-haired old man who was still facing the account book and carefully tilting the abacus. Somehow, a sense of intimacy echoed in his heart.

The waiter stepped forward first and said to the gray-haired old man with timidity: "Shopkeeper, this guest official... the guest official is going to be discounted." He was really hard to say, for fear of being scolded by the shopkeeper.

When the old man with gray hair heard someone was coming for a discount, he twisted the waiter's ear and said, "Did you work here on my first day? I'm so stingy, have you ever given a discount to someone? You've been working on dogs for the past seven or eight years?"

The waiter was about to cry out in grievance. He was not a native of Qindu, so it was a blessing to have a job here. He deeply remembered that the shopkeeper told him that the customer would follow suit if he had any requests. Now he brought Ada and the others to say it, and then he heard the boss use another explanation, and suddenly felt very aggrieved.

Ada took the shopkeeper of Zuixianlou and opened it, and then said to the waiter: "I'm sorry, I forgot that he has always had a bad temper. But it's okay, he will reward you with money for compensation."

The shopkeeper of Zuixianlou was a little unhappy when Ada took his palm away. Now he heard the customer who was coming for a discount saying that he would compensate the waiter, and sneered: "Is there a royal relative here today? Why did he feel so good? Deep, I have been in Qindu for fifty years, and I have really drunk several royal relatives. I really have to see who dares to praise such a big mouth in my Zuixianlou!"
