Chapter 184: Near the Xianyuan
Kinxian-in in the west of the city looks like an ordinary mansion.
Stone walls, stone lions, wooden plaques, wooden doors.
A plaque with the words "Kinxian-in" engraved on it hangs on the dark brown wooden door and is written in black paint.
It was common for the mansion's door to be closed at night, but He Yunxiao always had a strange feeling when he looked at the wooden door of Jinxian Yuan and the orange lanterns hanging on both sides of the door.
After watching for a while, He Yunxiao finally understood what this weird feeling was about.
It's so quiet.
This place is deadly quiet.
It was unusual for Yin Jing to be quiet. Even in the night of Haishi. If there are no people, there will be some birds chirping and dogs barking, but there is nothing here.
It's like keeping away from living things.
The Marquis's carriage stopped in the empty street, and He Yunxiao stood in front of the gate of Jinxianyuan.
Still only quiet.
He Yunxiao's throat rolled, and a pitiful trace of saliva passed through his throat and was swallowed into his stomach. Mouth is a little dry.
His grandma’s! My time-travel novel is said to be about a no-brainer and a harem with a single heroine! What's going on with this weird atmosphere?
He Yunxiao, who was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze, does not believe in all ghosts and monsters.
Before crossing over.
Before taking the soul-eating pill.
And before coming to Kinxian-in.
He Yunxiao weighed the fifty taels of silver in his pocket. He felt that poverty was more terrifying than ghosts.
It was impossible to work part-time, and the only way to survive was to borrow money.
Dare to step forward, He Yunxiao grabbed the dark metal animal head knocker on the wooden door, bang-dong-dong, and knocked several times.
Soon, a maid dressed in ordinary clothes slipped through the crack in the door and leaned out.
Normally, He Yunxiao would have to praise this maid for her beauty, but today, after seeing Chu Chu and Nan Zhu Tie Tie, he said, "My heart is like iron, indestructible."
generally.
Compared with the overall quiet and eerie atmosphere of Jinxian Yuan, this little maid is cute and pretty, and she looks quite human.
She said: "Master, who are you looking for?"
After all, he was here to borrow money, so He Yunxiao was prepared to be polite, "I am from Wu Qinghou's family, He Yunxiao, I am looking for Li Qingmeng, Miss Li."
The little maid frowned at first, then suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask."
Then, the maid pulled the door knocker and closed the door again, leaving He Yunxiao alone outside.
According to the etiquette of Qi State, unless there is a serious feud, it is rare to leave a guest outside the door, especially if the door is closed and the guest is left outside.
The little maid may not have noticed, but He Yunxiao himself didn't care about it.
Since she said wait, just wait.
The houses of wealthy families are always raised a little above the ground, so several stone steps must be built for people to come and go, and Jinxianyuan is no exception. Although He Yunxiao was kind to the maid, he was not someone who could stand waiting at the door honestly. After the wooden door was closed, He Yunxiao turned around and sat on the stone steps at the entrance of Jinxian Yuan. He picked up stones and played with them, and even drew a "tic" chess piece on the ground.
Behind He Yunxiao's sight, under the quiet sky above Jinxian Courtyard, a white dove soared from the courtyard and flew towards the palace.
About half a moment later, the wooden door was pushed open again, and the little maid leaned out and said, "Mr. He, Miss Li asked you to come in and wait for her."
Kinxian-in may seem strange, but after all, it is still the place where the heroine lives.
He Yunxiao didn't know much about Miss Antidote, except that she was full of bad intentions and didn't know much else.
But this does not prevent He Yunxiao from trusting Miss Antidote. After all, the heroine is still a heroine. In the framework of a short story like "Girl, I just want to practice", even if she is completely bad, it is just a small fight and it is harmless.
Even if Chu Chu has a female devil persona, she has never been seen killing innocent people indiscriminately.
Without touching the bottom line, no matter how awkward the heroine’s character is, she is still very likable and reassuring.
He Yunxiao followed the little maid into the house.
When I first entered, I felt that this place was no different from anywhere else.
They are all the same wooden houses with paper windows, and they are all the same long corridors and paths.
The further they walked, the more He Yunxiao felt something was wrong.
He followed the maid for a quarter of an hour and still didn't reach the place, which showed that the Jinxian Academy was quite large. If you think about it, it's bigger than Wu Qinghou's mansion.
The house is larger than the Marquis Mansion, and the decoration and interior are very exquisite. Even the flowers, trees, pavilions and waterside pavilions are not inferior to the Antler Academy. Why have I never heard of this kind of place before?
He Yunxiao suddenly thought about why Jinxianyuan was so quiet.
If there is only one resident in a community, that resident will feel that the community is quiet. This is the case with Kinken-in. It seems that it is not just the place behind the stone wall and wooden door, but half the street or the whole street nearby is Kinken-in!
To be able to book such a big place in Yin Jing, the antidote girl is really damn rich!
He Yunxiao originally planned to exchange the handkerchief and Li Qingmeng for two thousand taels of silver as the starting capital for the consumption vouchers. Because this month's rent of 2,000 taels is not in a hurry to be handed over to the landlord, and the turnover of five stores, 2,000 taels is enough to cope with it. But he has now changed his mind. He planned to directly ask the antidote girl to borrow ten thousand taels.
Not borrowing so much from her would be a bit embarrassing for her status as a wealthy woman.
It’s not like I won’t pay it back.
He Yunxiao has always been very trustworthy when it comes to not being trustworthy.
As he walked deeper into the courtyard, He Yunxiao could clearly feel that the surroundings were becoming lively.
This excitement is not on the surface.
Looking around, it was still an empty scene. Some rooms were lit, while others were not. The common point among them was that there were no human figures without exception. Perhaps because it was night, the maids did not need to sweep the floor, so apart from the one leading the way, no other servants could be seen.
Where the eyes could not see, the internal forces were fighting.
He Yunxiao could sense the internal force fluctuations of dozens of warriors without deliberately sensing them.
The strongest one was much stronger than his internal force that was passed on by Chu Chu. The bright internal force fluctuations were as hard to look at as a flash bomb in the dark night for another warrior.
Grandmaster realm!
Generally speaking, if a warrior of a higher realm does not want to show his strength in front of a warrior of a lower realm, the warrior of a lower realm will know nothing about it.
But now, the warriors of Jinxianyuan were showing their strength without reservation in the dark, not far away, around He Yunxiao. It seemed to be telling him: Young man, don't move.
He Yunxiao smiled.
To be honest, if ordinary warriors came here and were stared at by so many internal force fluctuations, they would be scared to death or lose half of their souls.
But He Yunxiao was not panicked at all.
No one in the world could be stronger than Chu Xiaoxiao. He Yunxiao stayed beside Chu Chu every day and was accustomed to this kind of "intimidation" by internal force.
Grandmaster realm?
That's it?
He Yunxiao also released his internal force to respond a little, and even opened and closed it, making his internal force flicker, playing a trick.
Led by the maid, He Yunxiao came to a rather spacious room. There were tables and chairs for entertaining guests, tea tables and chairs suitable for talking with girlfriends, and couches for taking naps. They were separated by screens, but they were just for cover-up. It seemed that only one of the three places in the room would be used at a time.
The little maid led He Yunxiao to the tea table.
When He Yunxiao came, he found that there were also maids serving at the tea table, and they were making tea at this time.
There are two portions, one in front of him, and the other opposite him. That should be the seat where the antidote girl sits.
The freshly brewed tea is still steaming.
If you don't drink this tea now, it will get cold in a while.
He Yunxiao was thinking, this maid wouldn't let the master drink cold tea, could it be...
"Mr. He, long time no see."
The voice of the antidote girl Li Qingmeng came from behind, sharp and charming, just like her appearance.
Before He Yunxiao could look back, a fragrant breeze passed by, and the master of Jinxianyuan sat in her seat.
