"Young master, I'll go with you. If there's a fight later, I'll have one more helper."
Fang stood in the yard, eager to have a go. He had been depressed for a few months. Now that he could finally relax, his true nature was immediately exposed.
"You can wait downstairs with some people." Li Yi waved his hand. This was a gay meetup, not a fight. It was impolite to bring so many people. It would be bad if they misunderstood. Two grandmasters were enough.
"Okay." Fang nodded and said, "Then I'll tell them to enter the city first."
In order to avoid trouble, Li Yi actually didn't plan to see Zhao Yi. But that was then and this was now. There were Taoist Yuan and Xu on his left and right, so he had to be confident.
The yard door opened. At the entrance of Fanglin Garden, Lin Yong's body was shocked and he immediately walked over.
Li Yi looked at him and asked, "Brother Lin, which is the most famous restaurant in Feng State City?"
"Restaurant?" Lin Yong was stunned and said, "Why go to a restaurant? We can eat at home. It'll be a waste to eat outside …"
…
The Qian Family Restaurant was the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Feng State.
Although the name was a bit tacky, to be able to name their own bank "bank", they didn't expect them to give the restaurant an elegant name.
The name was tacky, but the decorations, dishes, and prices inside were not ordinary at all. This restaurant was not open to ordinary people. Those who could enter were either rich, powerful, or … rich and powerful.
As for those who had neither money nor power but could eat and drink to their heart's content and leave without paying, they were either the manager of the restaurant or the son of the manager of the restaurant.
Qian Duoduo belonged to the latter. Because he had used 10,000 taels of silver to buy poems, he was fined a month's allowance. Now he was penniless. He could only go to his own brothel and eat in his own restaurant. His life … In fact, there was not much difference from before.
The only depressing thing was that he didn't know which big mouth had leaked the news of him buying poems. Now, the entire Feng Province knew that he had bought those poems. The 10,000 taels of silver had only made a splash. It was far from achieving the effect he wanted. It was a bit of a waste of money.
The most likely suspects were the one surnamed Yang and the one surnamed Zhao. He did not suspect the brother who sold the poem. If that was the case, he would definitely reveal the author of the poem. The other party's price was fair and he was honest with both the old and the young. However, he still owed him a copper coin and had not returned it yet.
Qian Duoduo sighed. The poems were good, but he was too impatient. If he had released them step by step, he wouldn't have today.
Seeing that there were guests coming in, the waiter of the restaurant immediately walked over and asked, "Sir, do you have a reservation?"
The three people who came in looked a bit strange. One was a young man, one was a middle-aged Taoist, and the last one was a sloppy old man.
The young man looked around and asked, "There are no guests here. Do I need to make a reservation?"
"If you want to eat, I recommend you to go to the restaurant across the street." The waiter smiled and said, "You must have a reservation to eat here."
In fact, reservations were just a way of saying it to the outside world. Feng State City wasn't big. The waiter knew very well who needed to make a reservation and who didn't.
"I'm leaving. Ask them to make the same thing for lunch." Qian Duoduo tore a chicken leg, stood up, and walked out of the door.
The waiter quickly said, "Yes, Young Master."
Li Yi looked at the slightly fat young man and said, "Qian Duoduo?"
Qian Duoduo turned his head and looked at him. He frowned and asked, "Do I know you?"
Li Yi looked at him and said with a smile, "Sorry, I still don't have change today. I'll give you the money back next time."
Qian Duoduo's eyes suddenly widened when he heard this. His whole body trembled and he blurted out, "You are … that brother!"
…
Qian Duoduo stood at the door of the most luxurious private room in the Qian Family Restaurant and said to the waiter behind him, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and give us all the signature dishes here."
"Yes, Young Master. I'll ask someone to do it right away." The waiter responded and hurried downstairs.
Qian Duoduo looked at the young man in front of him. Although he had traded with him twice, he had never seen his appearance. At this time, it was inevitable that he had a strange feeling in his heart.
"Brother, what else do you want to eat? I'll ask someone to arrange it right away."
Although it was strange, his eagerness and enthusiasm didn't diminish at all. After all, the next time he had pocket money, he was going to buy a few hundred poems. This time, he would buy cheap ones. He wanted to win by quantity. How could he not shut those people's mouths?
"There's no need." Li Yi shook his head and said, "I'll meet a friend here in a while. I'll leave soon."
He had some doubts about the reliability of Lin Yong's recommendation of this restaurant. There wasn't a single customer. It didn't look like the best restaurant in Fengzhou City.
"Don't worry, don't worry. You go first." Qian Duoduo smiled, closed the door, and left.
Even if 100 poems were worth 100 taels of silver, it would still cost 10,000 taels of silver. He needed time to prepare.
The opportunity was rare. If he missed it this time, he didn't know when he would encounter it again.
When he walked down the stairs, there were several figures coming in from outside.
"Dad?" Qian Duoduo walked over and looked at the God of Fortune in the crowd. He asked in surprise, "Dad, why are you here?"
"Shut up!" Qian Duoduo glared at him and asked, "Is there any guest in the restaurant now? Who are they?"
"No …" Qian Duoduo shook his head at first. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "There is a friend of mine upstairs …"
As soon as Qian Duoduo finished speaking, a door opened upstairs. A young man walked out and looked down. He smiled and said, "I've been waiting for His Royal Highness King Feng for a long time …"
Qian Duoduo scratched his head and said in surprise, "Not much. I just arrived, and the dishes haven't been served yet …"
…
"Dad, why did you hit me …" Qian Duoduo covered his head and looked at the God of Fortune with some resentment.
Qian Duoduo glanced at the top of the stairs and pulled his arm to the side. "Tell me, how do you know the person upstairs?"
In the private room, after Zhao Yi sat down, he looked at Li Yi with a hint of doubt on his face. He asked, "Brother Li, why are you …"
Li Yi reached behind his ear with one hand and gently tore off the mask.
"There's actually such a strange thing in the world." Zhao Yi looked at the thin mask in Li Yi's hand with a hint of surprise on his face. Then, he looked at Li Yi and said, "Brother Li, since you've arrived in Feng Province, why are you only now …"
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "It's a long story."
After a while, Zhao Yi had a look of realization on his face. He said, "The Holy Religion does have a huge influence in the Qi Kingdom. They are very well-hidden, and we don't know what they're planning. They're a big problem for the imperial court. But don't worry, Brother Li. No matter how long their hands are, they can't reach Feng Province."
"It doesn't matter anymore," Li Yi said as he shook his head. If he really met the Taoist Nun now, it was uncertain who would kidnap who.
Zhao Yi looked at him and asked, "The person who sent the message to the Prince's Mansion two days ago should have been arranged by Brother Li, right?"
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the sloppy old man who was sitting to the side and eating a chicken leg.
The sloppy old man didn't even raise his head as he focused on eating the chicken leg in his hand.
"It's a small matter, a small matter." Li Yi didn't deny it. He looked at him and pointed at the dishes on the table, saying, "I still owe you a meal. Let's pay it off today."
"It's a small matter for Brother Li, but it's not for me." Zhao Yi cupped his hands in obeisance and said, "This time, I owe Brother Li a favor. I'll definitely pay it back in the future if I have the chance."
"Don't worry about the future …" Li Yi raised his wine cup and looked at him, saying, "Now is fine too."
Zhao Yi raised his head and looked at him in surprise. He asked, "Brother Li, you mean …"
Li Yi looked at him and said, "There's no time like the present. Let's do it today."
