Two days later, in Mengjin Town, the morning fog had just dispersed. The street vendors took out their stalls and began their day's work.
At this moment, a young man riding a black horse slowly walked into the town entrance of Mengjin Town. This person carried a long saber on his back and wore a black suit. His face was covered in dust, but his eyes were still bright.
This person was Xie Xuan.
After entering the town, Xie Xuan got off his horse and led it into the downtown area. It had been two days since he had killed the Sirius Gang in Anmin Town. Xie Xuan thought that someone would come to kill him, but he did not expect that the journey was so smooth.
Xie Xuan relaxed his guard slightly. His main goal was to deliver the letter. Before that, he had to find Wu Ming's location.
Mengjin Town was the largest village in the east. It was an important transportation hub that connected the north and south trade routes. Many merchants passed by here, which led to the development of many industries. Among them, there was a very famous profession here, which was the information seller.
In the martial world, heroes rose up together, and many forces intertwined with each other. No one could be alone. Therefore, it was necessary to infiltrate and inquire about some hostile forces. This also gave rise to the profession of information dealers.
This was an industry that only looked at money. As long as they had enough money, these people would even dare to go to the palace. They were really a group of people who wanted money more than their lives. The gathering point of the information dealers was the Meng Jin Tavern in Meng Jin Town.
Xie Xuan asked a stall owner and found out the location of Meng Jin Tavern, so he went to the tavern.
This was a very ornate two-story building. Unlike other mansions, there were two stone lions standing at the entrance of the tavern. Instead, there were two ferocious Pi Xiu.
The couplet at the entrance of the tavern was also very straightforward, adding a sense of humor to the tavern.
The first verse is: Fragrance is born in a jade bowl, spring is priceless
The second line is: drunk buying news, gold is cheap
Banner: No Gold, No Entry
This couplet told the visitor that this was a place for drinking and gathering information, but they had to prepare an extremely high reward.
A waiter walked out and said to Xie Xuan with a flattering smile,"Sir, do you want to cut the queue? Our tavern's Burning Knife and Bamboo Leaf Green are the best.”
Xie Xuan said to the waiter,"Take my horse and prepare some fodder and water. I'll pay for it after I finish eating."”
"Alright! Please come in!" The waiter took the reins and reached out his hand for another person to welcome Xie Xuan into the tavern.
As soon as he entered the tavern, Xie Xuan realized that this place was different from the usual taverns. It was not as noisy. Instead, the people sitting around were whispering, as if they were discussing something.
He came to a corner seat and sat down. He placed the knife on the table. The people around him glanced at him and turned their heads away.
"Oh, you're a new face. Did you just come to Mengjin?”An extremely coquettish voice sounded.
Xie Xuan raised his head and saw a woman wearing a red and green cheongsam. She held a pipe in her left hand and looked at him with narrowed eyes.
This woman exuded a delicate fragrance. She had a graceful figure and her long hair was tied up with a simple wooden hairpin. Her face was very delicate and her light makeup made her look very charming. The light that flashed in her eyes showed that this woman was not a vase. She should have some tricks up her sleeves.
"Oh? It seems that you are the lady boss here, right?”Xie Xuan asked tentatively.
"It seems that you are from another place. There is really no one in Meng Jin who doesn't know me. That's right, I am the owner of this Meng Jin Tavern.”Sister Tao sat down across from Xie Xuan, her every movement full of charm.
If it was some young man who had just come out of Jianghu, he would have been bewitched by Sister Tao's charm. However, Xie Xuan knew that this woman was definitely not simple to be able to run such a tavern in this dangerous Jianghu.
"It seems that I've found the right person. Sister Tao, this is my first time in your shop. I wonder if I can treat you to a drink and get some information at the same time?”Xie Xuan went straight to the point.
When Sister Tao heard this, she knew that business was coming, so she clapped her hands. The two waiters around her understood. In just a few minutes, they brought a few dishes and a pot of wine.
Sister Tao picked up the wine pot and poured two glasses of wine. She handed one to Xie Xuan and said,"Ninety-five percent of the people who come to my Meng Jin Tavern are here to inquire about information. This is not strange. This is what I do. However, you get what you pay for. The harder it is to obtain information, the more expensive it is.”
Xie Xuan picked up the cup of wine and drank it in one gulp. He said indifferently,"I want to know where the Chinese Pavilion is.”
When Sister Tao heard this, a glint flashed across her eyes. She said to Xie Xuan,"Little brother, do you know what kind of place this China Pavilion is?”
"I know. That's the residence of the martial arts legend, Nameless Heavenly Sword.”Xie Xuan picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth.""Could it be that Sister Tao doesn't have any news about China Pavilion?”
Only then did Sister Tao realize that the young man in front of her was definitely not simple. He actually said his nameless name so calmly, so she said,"This young hero is indeed brave. Come, let me toast you.”
Sister Tao downed the wine in her glass and said,"I have the information here, but the map of China Pavilion is not cheap.”
"Sister Tao, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem. Please name a price!" Xie Xuan said.”
Sister Tao thought for a moment and said in a clear voice,"This map is non-negotiable. It's three thousand taels of silver."”
When the surrounding customers heard Sister Tao's clear voice, they all turned to look at Xie Xuan.
One had to know that the world was in chaos, but the prices of goods were not high. Ten taels of silver could allow a family of three to live without worry for three months. Three thousand taels of silver was an astronomical figure for ordinary people.
Hearing this, Xie Xuan's expression was calm as he said,""Sister Tao, I told you that it's not a problem if you can solve it with money. Here's 3,000 taels.”
Xie Xuan acted like a rich man, but he didn't feel the pinch at all. The money was stolen from the Sirius Gang, so he didn't feel the pinch at all. At most, he would just rob them on the way.
Sister Tao's eyes lit up when she saw Xie Xuan take out the banknotes."Alright, since young hero is so generous, I will bring the map over!”
After a while, Sister Tao brought over a map and handed it to Xie Xuan. Xie Xuan paid the money and picked up the map. He cupped his hands at Sister Tao and said,"Thank you, Sister Tao. See you again."
Xie Xuan strode out of the door and mounted his horse. In just a few breaths, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
