Broken Night

Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Five ─ ​​​​

Xie An said with a smile: "The shop owner advocates selling the whole shop, 800,000 taels of silver, no second price. If it is rented on a monthly basis, it will not be calculated, 200,000 a month."

Xu Yan was speechless.

Eight hundred thousand taels of silver! ?

It took a lot of hard work to borrow one million taels from the old man in the left **** battle, and another half a million taels was used to pay the first tuition fee for the outer sect of Yunfu! Even if it's rent... I still need silver taels to refit and buy the supplies needed for forging, it's all money!

Even if these supplies and equipment are successfully bought back, in just one month, with my current physical condition, I may not be able to catch up with the second period of tuition fees!

Xu Yan's expression changed, his little face was gritted and frowned.

Xie An laughed, only to feel that this little guy is very good: "Xu little brother, silver taels and the like, our Xie family still has..." Halfway through the sentence, he saw a palm in front of him: "Uncle Xie doesn't need to More to say, I just borrowed a lot of debt, and I don’t want to live on credit. Are there other shops to choose from?”

Xie An didn't force it, but still said with a smile: "Of course there is, little brother Xu, come with me."

...

Xie An drove the Night Wolf and wandered around the Southern Imperial City. He walked for most of the day, and also went to three or four store locations, but Xu Yan was not satisfied.

The sun sets in the west, and the entire Nanhuang City is illuminated in the evening.

And Xu Yan also followed Xie An and got off the chariot.

In front of him, there is a small lake.

It's hard to imagine a small lake appearing in a city!

However, Xu Yan quickly adapted. In his mind, Nanhuangcheng was not regarded as a city, but as a large, independent world.

Although the Southern Imperial City does not have the protection of the Qing Palace's spring-like formation throughout the year, it still greatly reduces the severe cold in the middle of winter. The fine snow falls, and it is picturesque under the reflection of the setting sun and the small lake.

"This is the Youzi Lake in Nanhuangcheng." Xie An on the side also silently looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him: "It is said to be a wanderer because the water source of this lake comes from the Mother River. After passing through the waterway of Nanhuangcheng, there are some In and out. Of course, in addition to this lake, there are several water sources, large and small, in Nanhuang City.”

"This place is not near restaurants, aristocratic families and the Quanqing Palace, so it is not a place with a lot of people. Most of the shops here are restaurants, restaurants, or some paintings and calligraphy. However, there are rare weapons shops, auction shops, etc. The tattooed ones are sold here.”

As they spoke, they had come to a courtyard by the lake.

The yard is not big, there are willow trees drooping on both sides of the doorway, but it can be seen that it has not been trimmed for a long time, and there are almost all kinds of weeds, covering most of the doorway.

"Even so, because it's beautiful and comfortable, its value is not low. But because the owner who sold this place is acquainted with me, and he is eager to sell, there is a discount. 300,000."

Xu Yan didn't rush to agree, and walked casually. The Xie family guard who had been following Xie An stepped forward, pushed open the door filled with weeds, and walked in. It can be seen that the layout is quite large. In addition to the large main hall in the center, there is also a garden and two auxiliary courtyards.

Xu Yan was thinking secretly in his heart, while sensing it carefully.

Xie An kept watching, and suddenly said, "However, in addition to being cheap, there is another advantage here."

"Here, it's not far from Yunfu, only about ten minutes away."

Xu Yan was taken aback.

Xie An said with a smile, "Isn't Brother Xu going to go to the outer gate of Yunfu? It's not far from the outer gate of Yunfu, so it is quite convenient to go to and from get out of class every day."

Xu Yan slapped the bald head: "You didn't tell me sooner! I bought it!"

"Hahaha! Good!"

...

In the Qing Palace, the Temple of Heaven.

Lan Zhen's figure is a little thin, and the golden yellow imperial robe looks a bit wide, so he wears it casually. Even so, he still looks like a terrifying high-ranking person. It seemed that what was in front of him was not a thin middle-aged man, but a ferocious, hungry tiger who chose to devour him.

He carefully reviewed the memorial and listened to the report in his ear: "His Royal Highness does not have much feeling about Jin Qianji entering the outer gate of Yunmen. Instead, His Royal Highness asked whether Princess Mingxin would enter the outer gate of Yunmen. , and a young man named Xu Yan."

"Oh?" Lan Zhen was still reviewing the memorial, but he seemed to be divided, and said casually: "Zha'er is still very protective of her sisters, very good. As for that Xu Yan, who is he?"

Immediately, there was a report: "That was the first boy from the prince to send the [Prince Order]. That boy is indeed extraordinary. He is both a alchemist and a doctor, and he is the only direct disciple of the strange doctor. The prince went to Pingnan precisely because he saw that the young man named Xu beat the first young man in Pingnan's medical skills, Murong Jie, and won the battle against the outstanding medical talents."

"The prince's order is his, let him use it." Lan Zhen was just a little curious, but didn't take it to heart. He has the world in his heart, and what he thinks and remembers is all the big things in the world. Such trivial matters are not qualified to keep him in mind.

Finally, he put down the ink in his hand, his face slightly solemn: "The cultivator of the corpse pattern who appeared in Pingnan...Is there any news?"

The memorial on the desk is a matter of the world. The ink in his hand is the ink that can decide the world.

It seems that it is a real big thing that can make him let go of dealing with the world and take it seriously.

The corpse pattern is a major event.

In front of him, there is a middle-aged man in black.

This person is the new shadow of Lan Zhen.

I saw the shadow respectfully said: "Report to the emperor, because the cultivator of the corpse pattern reverses the yin and yang and merges with the body of the dead, it will turn into a pool of black water in a short time after death. Even if the Pingnan side handles it as soon as possible , and can only keep one arm of the corpse pattern. With that arm alone... it is still very difficult to find the corpse pattern's nest."

Lan Zhen shook his head: "Check carefully, don't let go of any clues. The corpse pattern has been hidden for thousands of years, and it has finally appeared. If I feel anything, the world is about to start chaos."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lan Zhen waved his hand: "Okay, back off and wait for me outside the door."

The shadow was slightly surprised, waiting for the emperor?

But he didn't ask any questions, just bowed respectfully, and then stood outside the gate of Guantian Temple, his eyes watching his nose and his nose watching his heart.

He is very clear about his identity, it is just the identity used by the emperor to replace Jin Xing. He can't call his majesty a brother like Jin Xing. He is the servant, after all, the servant.

Squeak.

The door was pushed open, and Blue Town had already walked out.

A dark blue head was neatly tied to the back of his head. The most noble of the Lan family was the blue who represented his identity. That's why Lan's family never lets outsiders touch their heads. Like Lan Zhen, who is qualified to touch his own head or let it clean up in his life, except for the deceased mother, the current queen Li Feiyan, there is only Xue Ting, who is also deceased.

Seeing Lan Zhen's solemn gesture, Shadow asked tentatively, "Your Majesty... do you want to arrange a chariot?"

"nature."

There was a hint of sadness in Lan Zhen's eyes: "I'm going to see my old friend for the last time."
