Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 167 Ancient Times (21)

At the beginning, Li Xiangyi was also a calm and introverted person. Recently, he took a carriage with Ji Xiao? (Xiao Lou) It was found that Ji Xiao was a more casual person in life. If the housekeeper did not agree with her going out alone, she would not allow her to go out unless she brought Banxia and Ada with her. Otherwise, Ji Xiao would not bring anyone else except Li Xiangyi.

After all, at the beginning, Ji Xiao planned to go out alone from the first floor. However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. With the addition of the poisoned Li Xiangyi, she had to compromise. If it were not for the restrictions of God on Ji Xiao, not allowing her to use the elixir, there would be no need to spend so much time detoxifying Li Xiangyi. A elixir-based detoxification pill would have done the trick.

And if we want to prescribe some antidote for him now, we can only wait until the poison takes effect. But the antidote that Ji Xiao asked Banxia to give him at the beginning was very effective.

Now all he can do is wait a little longer. However, Ji Xiao asked Banxia to prepare some medicinal herbs that are good for the body's meridians and make them into medicinal food for him. After he is completely detoxified, he will take Li Xiangyi's Yangzhou Man. After he recovers, his meridians will be wider and more resilient than before he was injured.

So Ji Xiao and her group walked slowly on the road for two days before entering the Jiangnan area. It was already three quarters past noon, and Banxia and Ada drove two carriages through the city gate, looking for an inn where they could stop and eat.

From ancient times to the present, it has been said that "fireworks are everywhere in Yangzhou in March". Ji Xiao has also traveled to other cities in the Jiangnan region, but she has never seen the ancient Jiangnan. Now, she must go and see this ancient Yangzhou.

After all, the Jiangnan region has always been known as a land of fish and rice, with many merchants and travelers coming and going, and a flourishing literary style. There are more literati and scholars of classics and history than in other places.

After entering the city, Ji Xiao looked outside from the balcony on the second floor of the small building and said to Li Xiangyi, "The Jiangnan area is different from other places?"

"What's the difference?"

"Yes, there are more students here than in Qingyun Town, and it is also richer than the state capital where Qingyun Town is located."

"Indeed, look at the women and children sitting not far away. Their clothes, even if they are washed white, have no patches on them. Or the patches have exquisite embroidery, and their faces are relaxed. This shows that they don't have to worry about their lives."

Li Xiangyi also looked at the pedestrians coming and going not far away, and then told Ji Xiao about his observations.

"Besides, there aren't so many gangsters here, and people's lives and living environment are more stable than ours, and their mental outlook is different."

"Really? I also want to see the martial arts world with so many martial artists!"

"Yes. But where there are many people in the martial arts world, there are also many disputes. There are often small gangs fighting for territory. Let's go down and take a look. They don't trust the court yet, and the court can't restrain them. So I established the Si Gu Men with my senior brother and others. Let's not talk about other things. Let's go down and take a look. It feels very lively!"

It didn't take long for Li Xiangyi to reveal his true thoughts. After understanding the situation, Li Xiangyi returned to his original Li Xiangyi. In front of Ji Xiao, Li Xiangyi no longer concealed his true nature. However, because the poison had not been completely removed, he could not practice martial arts. Otherwise, Ji Xiao let him do whatever he wanted.

Just like now, seeing the excitement I want to join in, especially I don’t want to take the stairs, I just want to jump off the terrace. It’s okay in the wilderness, after all, Ji Xiao does the same, but aren’t we in the city now!

So when Ji Xiao saw Li Xiangyi standing up and discovered that he was about to jump down, Ji Xiao quickly reached out and grabbed the wrist of his hand closest to her.

"Go down the stairs. There are people coming and going outside. Aren't you afraid that someone might step on your shoes and dirty your clothes?"

"Oh, that's right. I really like this outfit today, and I just put it on not long ago!"

As he spoke, Li Xiangyi raised his hand and lowered his head, then looked at the clothes on his body. He liked them so much that he was reluctant to change them. He could only follow Ji Xiao down the stairs.

At this time, Banxia was also downstairs saying, "Miss, Sir, we are here."

"Well, I'll be right down."

After they got off, they found that the place where the carriage was parked was an inn with simple and elegant decoration. Judging from the flow of customers coming in and out, the service and the taste of the food should be good, so they were about to go in.

The sharp-eyed waiter saw it and hurried over. He looked at the long gown with wide sleeves and a cross collar and waist with pomegranate red thread and golden cloud pattern and soft smoke silk, and the long gown with narrow sleeves and a cross collar and waist with deep red thread and golden cloud pattern. The clothes they wore were made of extremely expensive fabrics except for the different colors and styles.

So the waiter looked directly at Banxia, ​​who was standing a little behind him and was wearing a goose yellow cross-collared skirt, and asked with a slight bow:

"A few guests, please come in. Would you like to stay or have a meal?"

Banxia did not reply, but looked at Ji Xiao on the side and asked, "Miss, do you need accommodation?"

Ji Xiao nodded, took Li Xiangyi's hand and walked in first. There was a seat near the window, so they sat down first. Banxia and Ada were left behind, while the waiter first brought a few people into the lobby, called the shopkeeper, and then took Ada to the backyard where the carriage was parked.
