Chapter 003: Misty Rain Tower
A master possesses the aura of a master; even in the most ordinary actions such as sitting, standing, or walking, they can consistently exude a distinct presence. With the discerning eyes of Mu Yi and Chen Kong, they can immediately recognize that this middle-aged man is a master, and a particularly formidable one at that
As assassins, they often prefer silence; a talkative assassin certainly does not live long. The four of them are all renowned assassins, and it is evident that they are aware of this.
The wine within the Misty Rain Tower, although all quite good, is undoubtedly best represented by the self-brewed rice flower liquor. It is fragrant and mellow on the palate, with a pure taste that can truly be regarded as exquisite. The only downside is that its potency is somewhat overwhelming; even a robust man could easily become inebriated to the point of losing consciousness after consuming a pot of it
"Is that so? Then Young Master Ling, could you tell us what important matter we four have come here for?" The four of them, being seasoned veterans, quickly suppressed their initial shock. Qin Ling'er was the first to smile and said.
It seems that Mu Yi is not visiting the Misty Rain Tower for the first time. Approaching the main hall, he directly found a table by the window and sat down, while Chen Konghan, Xiao Qinling, and others also took the initiative to find a chair and sit down.
Nevertheless, regarding Mu Yi's request for four jars of rice wine, Chen Kong and the other two did not say much. After all, they were not ordinary individuals; even if this rice wine was exceptionally strong, a mere jar would hardly be enough to intoxicate them.
Is this the Misty Rain Tower? The finest tower in Jinyang? Qin Ling'er's clear voice rang out: "I wonder what Brother Mu has brought us to this Misty Rain Tower for?"
Although they knew that this young man was Ling Luoyu, the four did not take action. At this moment, their gazes were all focused on the middle-aged man beside Ling Luoyu. This man, although dressed in ordinary servant attire, had prominent temples and a glint of brilliance constantly flashing in his eyes, indicating that he was definitely not an ordinary person
This young man is Ling Luoyu! The moment Mu Yi and his companions laid eyes on him, they already knew that he was the target of their abduction mission. The information provided to them by the Assassin's Manor included a portrait of this young man.
"How is this possible? We have just arrived at www.hetushu.com, and yet Ling Luoyu already knows about our presence here?" Ling Luoyu's words clearly reached the ears of the four, causing Mu Yi and the others to be momentarily taken aback.
At that moment, Mu Yi suddenly frowned, his gaze fixed on the entrance of the Misty Rain Tower. Mu Yi was originally seated by the window, directly facing the entrance. Seeing Mu Yi's reaction, the others also turned their heads to look.
You four are assassins, and your grand objectives must either be murder or kidnapping; there surely cannot be anything else! However, within this Jinyang City, I truly cannot think of anyone worth the combined effort of all four of you. It is precisely because I cannot comprehend this that I, Ling, have come to investigate.
The wine and meat were served, yet the four of them remained silent, merely eating the meat and drinking the wine heartily
"Since I have come to your Misty Rain Tower, I must certainly try your braised beef, and also bring me four jars of Rice Flower Liquor!" Mu Yi smiled brightly as he instructed the waiter.
"Not bad, Brother Mu truly exudes a remarkable aura!" Chen Kong exchanged a smile with Han Xiao and then followed closely into the Misty Rain Tower.
The First-Class Building certainly has its unique features, as seen on https://www.hetushu.com. The wine and meat at Misty Rain Tower are excellent, especially the braised beef, which can be considered a culinary masterpiece. It is rich yet not greasy, tender yet not overly soft. In fact, many people travel thousands of miles just to taste the braised beef at Misty Rain Tower
I am Ling Luoyu from the Snowfall Villa, merely a scholar. However, it can be said that our Snowfall Villa holds a certain status within this Jinyang City. You are all individuals of great significance, and since you have come to Jinyang at the same time, it is likely that you have some earth-shattering matters to attend to. As the landlord of Jinyang City, I, Ling, cannot help but extend my hospitality to you all.
At the entrance of the Misty Rain Pavilion, a group of several people slowly walked in. Leading them was a young man, around sixteen or seventeen years old, with a pale complexion and a slightly haggard appearance. Beside this young man in white stood a tall, robust middle-aged man with a flushed face. Following closely behind the man in white were three or four others, each appearing formidable yet displaying a sense of disciplined training.
As Ling Luoyu entered the hall, he casually glanced around the space, and unexpectedly walked straight towards the table where Mu Yi and the other three were seated. Upon reaching their side, Ling Luoyu casually pulled over a chair and sat down. Meanwhile, the middle-aged man and several others stood on either side of Ling Luoyu, seemingly guarding his safety.
Have we arrived at Jinyang?" A voice sounded as the carriage door slowly opened. Chen Kong, Han Xiao, and Qin Ling'er leaped down from the carriage.
In the hall, there are about seventeen or eighteen tables and around one hundred chairs. Although it is not yet mealtime, there are already quite a number of people present
The Smoke and Rain Tower is located at the northwestern corner of Jinyang. Although it can be considered remote in terms of geographical location, its business is exceptionally thriving, earning it the reputation of being the premier building in Jinyang City
"You can go, so why can't I?" Qin Ling'er hesitated for a moment, then followed closely and stepped into the Misty Rain Tower.
A man walking the rivers and lakes should drink heartily and eat generously, wielding a large knife to slay enemies! Before every venture, I, Mu, always find a tavern to feast and drink. In this Jinyang, the Misty Rain Tower is undoubtedly the best choice! Of course, if the Qin family girl is unwilling, I would not dare to insist; after all, we have already arrived in Jinyang with the book. As long as it does not delay our plans, it matters not where the Qin family girl goes!" Mu Yi's gaze swept over Qin Ling'er and Chen Kong, and he strode confidently into the Misty Rain Tower.
Esteemed guests! May I inquire what you would like to order? As soon as the four individuals took their seats, a nimble waiter rushed over to ask them.
Mu Yi, Chen Kong, Han Xiao, and Qin Ling'er! The four renowned assassins of the Killer Manor, I never expected them to arrive in Jinyang at the same time, it is truly an honor to meet you all
With these four dark clouds covering the snow to pull this carriage, even if the carriage were larger, it could still run swiftly. However, Mu Yi consistently chose to proceed slowly, and finally, the carriage came to a gradual stop
In front of the three individuals stood a restaurant, one that appeared to be antique, elegant, and rustic. At the entrance of the restaurant, a large banner fluttered in the wind, displaying only three characters, three gilded characters—Yanyu Tower
Young Master Ling jested; who said there are no figures in Jinyang City worthy of our joint efforts? I see one right before us!" Mu Yi let out a wild laugh and suddenly stood up
