    Chapter 45 Brothers reunited Yan Bugui: Finally!

    According to intelligence records, the inn Liu Yuan recently stayed at was called “Tongfu”, located in the south of the city. On the surface, it had neither “Lei” nor “Su”, and it had nothing to do with the Mi Tian League. It was just an ordinary inn.

    However, this inn has a long history and covers a large area. It is the largest inn in the south of the city. The interior and exterior decoration is not luxurious, but it is extremely elegant and majestic, while still being exquisite and meticulous.

    Along the way, with the iron hand walking, the moonlight covering the long street seems to be far less dazzling than the bright lights. Along the way, merchants can be seen gathering and bustling, and all kinds of rare and rare treasures from the north of the country, the south of the Yangtze River, and the western regions and the east sea are gathered together; there are many shops on both sides, and there is a flow of people. It seems that there are waves of silk and bamboo pipe music floating from far or near, from the sky and the world, mixed with the noise of the market.

    The two little girls, Guo Xiang and Zuo Mingzhu, held each other’s arms, chattering and pointing everywhere, as if they had completely forgotten the fatigue of the long journey, leaving only the excitement of going to a new place and seeing new things; Bai Youjin was also observing around quietly, but unlike the girls who focused on novelty, he seemed to be paying attention to the passers-by.

    Yan Bugui followed Tie Shou intently, but Bai Renyu was standing lightly on top of his head, looking left and right with its little head. Compared to its owner who seemed “unmoved”, it acted more like a “country parrot” who was fascinated by this colorful world.

    Although it is not clear whether Tie Shou spends more time in the capital or is busy outside, the world-famous “Second Master” is obviously the undoubted “local leader” in the capital.

    Many ordinary people or people from the martial arts world who recognized him on the road would say hello to him; some generous ones even planned to come over and chat for a few more words. Seeing that the person seemed to be busy, he did not waste his time, but made an appointment to meet at a certain place next time for a drink and a meal.

    Just walking and walking like this, not long after, the group of five people finally arrived in front of Tongfu Inn.As the best inn in the south of the city and ranked among the top five in the entire capital, although the cost is relatively more expensive than ordinary inns, it is relatively affordable among inns of the same specifications. There are many tourists and businessmen who choose to stay here.

    The sky outside the building is getting darker and darker, but the lobby on the first floor is still brightly lit.Men and women with different accents are forming different teams in twos and threes, scattered around tables and chairs, eating dinner or midnight snacks, chatting in high and low voices about gossip in various places, exchanging true and false anecdotes about the world.

    As soon as Yan Bugui, Tie Shou and others stepped inside, the waiter, who seemed to be always staring at the door, immediately came closer with a smile on his face, and when he opened his mouth, he knew that he recognized Tie Shou’s face: “Oh, no wonder you can always hear the magpies singing under the eaves today. It turns out that the spring breeze brought news about the second master – are you here to be a sharpener, or…?”

    They were here to look for someone, and if there was still room available, they would simply stay here temporarily. Tie Shou naturally would not keep a straight face: “These friends of mine came a little late and need to find a place to stay. I wonder if you have any room left here? And this young hero, he has a brother who has been in your inn and wants to find out the news.” After that, he looked at Yan Bugui.

    The swordsman immediately took out Liu Yuan’s portrait from his arms and took over the topic: “Hello, have you seen the person in the painting? Did he once stay in your place? Where is he now?”

    “Yes, yes! The shop now has room for both Tianzi and Dijihao rooms.” When the waiter heard Tie Shou’s intention, he immediately put down his slightly worried heart. Hearing this, he turned his head and observed the portrait carefully for a moment, then nodded and replied in a low voice,

    “Originally, we can’t disclose the guest’s affairs at will, but since the young hero is a friend brought by the second master, it doesn’t hurt to come – this guest is still staying in the hotel temporarily. As for the specific room, I apologize for not being able to disclose it.”

    “That’s enough.” Yan Bugui’s eyes lit up, and he gave the waiter a little tip, “I would like to ask you to help him tell him – just say that Yan Bugui is looking for him, and I will wait for him on the first floor.”

    The smile on the waiter’s face became more sincere after receiving the tip. He raised his hand to call another idle waiter to come over, and asked someone to run errands for the swordsman. He continued to entertain a few people, and quickly checked in four people except Tie Shou. When booking a room, Yan Bugui said that he would wait until his brother came over before deciding which room he wanted.

    Guo Xiang and Zuo Mingzhu clearly wanted two connected Tianzi rooms. After Bai Youjin asked about the price, he skipped the already full Herringbone room and asked about the situation of the Tongbu – and then asked the two girls to talk to each other, saying that they could cover the cost and live in the Tianzi room together. However, Bai Youjin disagreed, saying that he might live in the capital for a long time in the future and could not let the two of them spend such money…

    “Ozawa!”

    Just when the three of them were trying to convince each other, a calm male voice suddenly could not hide the joy in their ears. Looking up, they saw a handsome man in his thirties jumping directly from the fifth floor. When he was about to land, the man did a slight backflip and stopped safely in front of Yan Bugui.

    Taking a closer look, this person has long dark hair, and is wearing exquisite jewelry in his hair, including gemstone beads and small down-like feathers, giving him a unique messy beauty. He is dressed in black and purple as the main color, with snow-white fur on his shoulders, but his chest is slightly open.On the whole, he not only has the grace of a noble son of aristocratic family, but also has the free and unrestrained style of a wanderer.

    The most eye-catching thing is the knife holder he carries behind his back, which has two knives, one long and one short.Although the sword is still in the scabbard, upon closer inspection, the mysterious and oppressive feeling coming from the deep sea seems to be rushing towards your face. In a trance, you seem to see a blood-colored evil spirit twisting and writhing around the blade…

    “Brother Liu!” While the others were briefly distracted by the pair of long and short knives, Yan Bugui hugged Liu Yuan, releasing his excitement and excitement.

    Because of his shout, several people around him came back to their senses one after another, and happened to hear Bai Renyu, who was flying around the two of them, also “rarely” shouted: “Brother Liu, Brother Liu! I miss you so much!”

    Living in a different place, not seeing each other for many days, and almost no news during this period… Now that he and Yan Bugui were finally reunited, Liu Yuan was happy, looking at the Bairen Yu who used to talk nonsense, and felt that this little thing had become more handsome, and he was willing to give a smile to this little parrot that had offended him with one sentence when they first met and still had a bad impression.

    Yan Bugui’s embrace broke away at the touch of a button, and Liu Yuan didn’t mind. He put his hands on the former’s shoulders and looked up and down carefully several times to make sure that the person in front of him had no obvious injuries. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn’t wait to ask: “How have you been these days? Are you injured? That parrot didn’t cause you any trouble, did it? Have you eaten? Have you found a place to stay?”

    After a pause, he seemed to have just realized that there were a few people standing nearby, and then asked: “Are these your new friends?”

    Liu Yuan asked a series of questions quickly and urgently, but Yan Bugui looked calm throughout the whole process, and only answered one by one at the end:

    “I’m living a good life, and I’ve made a lot of interesting friends; although I’ve had a few fights, none of them were hurt; Xiaoyu has always been very well-behaved and reassuring, and won’t cause me any trouble; I had something to eat in the evening, but I don’t mind another round of midnight snacks; I plan to stay in this inn first, and if possible, I’ll stay near you, Brother Liu; as for these guys…”

    Speaking of this, Yan Bugui paused and introduced them one by one:

    “This is Mr. Iron Hand Tie Er, one of the ‘Four Famous Catchers in the World’. I don’t know the way around the capital. Fortunately, I saved a lot of time with the help of Mr. Zuo. This is Ms. Zuo Mingzhu from Toubei Villa. This is Mr. Bai You Jinbai, they are all friends who were traveling with me. This is Ms. Guo Xiang and Ms. Guo… It is all thanks to the help of Ms. Guo and her family that I was able to find you so quickly.”

    After talking about the companions around him, he turned around and continued to talk about Liu Yuan to the four people mentioned earlier: “This is my biological brother Liu Yuan – my surname is also Liu, and my only name is Ze. Due to some personal reasons, ‘Yan Bugui’ is actually my real name. You can call me whatever you want.”

    “I see…Liu Yuan has met you all.” Before anyone else could respond, he realized that the person who had sent him the note a few days ago might be related to the “Second Miss Guo”. Liu Yuan greeted the four of them, and then gave Guo Xiang a stern hug, “I will keep my kindness in mind, and I will surely repay you generously in the future.”

    When Guo Xiang heard this, she immediately said “Oops”: “Brother Liu, you and Brother Yan are both too polite! Brother Yan has helped me and my family a lot before. To say thank you or not would be too disrespectful! If you really want to thank me… why don’t you join us for a supper with the unique flavor of Beijing?”

    Although Liu Yuan had many things to discuss with Yan Bugui in private, “Oze” was already in front of him, so he was not in a hurry and responded immediately:

    “Okay! But even though I came to the capital a few days before you, I have been around and know that some restaurants are delicious, but I don’t know the capital as well as Mr. Tie. Besides, I don’t know much about your tastes… If Mr. Tie is not busy, why don’t you take us to have a look around the restaurants in the capital?”

    Now that they were all back in the capital, Tie Shou, who was not tied up by any major case, naturally smiled and said “Don’t dare”, and then led everyone to find an inconspicuous but prosperous hot pot shop.After a full meal, except for Iron Shou who was about to return to Shenhou Mansion, everyone else returned to Tongfu Inn together and said good night to each other at their respective doors – Bai Youjin finally booked a room with a local name.

    Yan Bugui did not immediately go to the room he had reserved opposite Liu Yuan, but followed Brother Liu into the guest room where the latter had stayed for several days.There seemed to be some light and pleasant incense burning in the room. A slight sniff seemed to have a calming effect, but I wasn’t sure if it was a psychological effect.

    Liu Yuan glanced at Bai Renyu, who flew to the window obediently, as if ready to slip away at any time, pointed to the stool opposite the table, and asked Yan Bugui to sit down together. Then he turned over the teacup and poured a cup of tea for both of them, and then asked with no trace of joy or anger: “Xie Donghai is not with you? Do you have any news about him?”

    The author has something to say: ps: Let me review the first words Bairenyu said to Brother Liu: “Look at you, you are tall and strong, why are you so weak? You can’t even hold on for half a quarter of an hour. Can you still find a wife in the future?” (from Chapter 15 of this article) [dog head]
