"I didn't expect that not only did the business look prosperous, but you really made a lot of money." Ouyang Xiaoleng said after sitting down, looking at the magnificent decoration. Before he came, he had done a good survey, so he had enough confidence to let the boss obediently do things for himself.
"Master Wanghu really can laugh and laugh, I just want to save my face. When I first took over this hotel, I caught up with it 16 years ago ..." Jumped over and said, "It has been losing money in those years, and it has improved slightly in the past two years."
"I asked someone to investigate a little bit. The tax on your hotel does not match the luxury level here." Ouyang Xiaoleng ignored the hotel owner's explanation and continued.
The hotel owner regretted it, thinking that he only wanted to please the young demon king fox, forgetting the long-term tax evasion, and now I do n’t know how to explain it to let him let him go.
While he was worrying, Ouyang Xiaoliang continued: "These are trivial things, I can also close one eye, but ..."
"But what ?! Please also give the younger instructions!" The hotel owner heard Ouyang Xiaolen's words and there was a turnaround, and quickly asked him.
"I heard that you bought this hotel from a lady named Lan, so I wondered if there would still be patrons who visited her when she was the boss?"
The hotel owner nodded and said, "Some, some, I don't dare to say here, the price is really cheap. Compared with other hotels in Wangcheng, the location is good, but the environment is slightly ... ... but there are still many old customers! "
"Have any of them dealt with Mrs. Lan?"
"I think about it!" The hotel owner thought for a moment, and continued, "I think of a guest who does rouge gouache and spice business, because many guests work on this street, so I live in my shop every year. He has a good relationship with me. When I was drinking and chatting, I heard that he mentioned that he had been friends with the previous boss, that is, Mrs. Lan. And don't let him lose a bit. "
"Which guest is not in the hotel at the moment?"
"You came by coincidence, he came to Yongchuan every year in early summer. I only checked in last night because I had been drinking all night in the tavern and I am still asleep now."
The guest in the hotel owner's mouth is called Huagu, a ferret monster. The place where he lives is called Piaoxianggu. Once in the spring, the valley is filled with exotic flowers and weeds, and many flower demon are born.
He used the bite of the flower demon as a threat to control these flower demon, let them make a variety of rouge gouache, spices and sachets for themselves, and then sell these things to all parts of the demon world to earn generous rewards. . Those flower monsters were afraid of his strength, and because they could not leave the valley to go to other places, they had to take orders from him.
This mongoose monster is extremely sensitive to all kinds of fragrances. As long as he smells it, he can analyze which kinds of flowers and herbs are used for each sachet or spice. It is precisely because he has such skills that he has created many unique fragrances, and because he does not have to pay the flower demon to pay, he has an absolute advantage in price, so it is quite popular in many places.
The reason why he will become friends with Mrs. Lan is to talk about his second stay in this sparrow hotel. He has a hobby, that is, he likes to observe all kinds of opposite sex, and through observation he can know their personalities and preferences, and sometimes even guess their stories.
In the first year, he noticed the hotel lady, she always likes to wear men's clothes, regardless of temperament or manners, ordinary fragrance is definitely not suitable for her, she needs a kind of exclusive for her It tastes good.
So after returning to Piaoxianggu, he began to experiment and blend continuously, and finally came up with a fragrance based on orchid, followed by plants such as hibiscus, lily, and a little pomegranate. When he came to Wangcheng Yongchuan to do business after the spring of the second year, he vigorously recommended the fragrance he designed for her to Mrs. Lan, and she really got her favor. Afterwards, he asked him to match the same fragrance to himself every year.
In the interaction between the two, he felt more and more that this lady Mrs. Lan was deeply lonely hidden behind the chatter and laughter. She was like a puppet alive with a mask. The identity of the hotel owner must be only for her true purpose A kind of disguise.
She is very talkative, but she talks more about other people's affairs. About her own past, she always took it in a few words. So I have known each other for many years, but apart from knowing that she is from Miancheng, she came to Yongchuan in search of a friend and ended up staying here to open a hotel. Hua Gu didn't know much about her.
On one occasion, Huagu was drinking a lot of wine outside with those who bought their own goods, and it was late at night when he returned. He staggered into the hotel and had just planned to use the support of the staircase handrail to go upstairs back to his room, but heard the sound coming from the counter. Driven by curiosity and the effect of alcohol, he couldn't help but plan to follow the past to see what happened.
As a result, he found a small door, from which exited the backyard of the hotel, and there was a wooden door on one wall of the backyard that didn't know where to go. He opened the door to enter, the light inside was very dark, and a lot of goods and debris piled up, guessing that this should be the hotel's warehouse.
Just about to turn around and leave, but stepped into a hole in the ground. After rolling a few stairs, he finally got up and walked down a few steps, came to a flat passage, the ferret monster Naturally used to walking in the dark, so even if he does not use demon fire, he will not hit the walls on both sides. He was thinking about where this passage was leading to, and a woman's voice came in front of him, and he soon heard it was Mrs. Lan. .
"Adult, as you can see, the passage has been repaired."
"Well, it's a good job! The prince has already been told by us, plus the one in the back hill and palace outside the Chenji Palace, and the one in the chestnut street, enough people for me to successfully enter the royal city. "
"I also ask you to fulfill your commitment and continue to treat my son."
"Relax, I already have feelings for Lan Zhu, and will definitely cure him."
"Thank you, sir!"
"There are still a few months to go, until New Year's Eve, I will wash the city with blood, and send the demon king fox with a white bone!"
Hua Gu was scared to death by what he heard. He stumbled back to the entrance of the secret road, climbed up, and returned to the hotel's own room along the backyard. He lay on the bed, touched his cold sweat, and gradually fell asleep in fear. When he woke up again, he couldn't tell what he heard last night, whether it was just a nightmare after drunkenness, or whether it had actually happened.
Only on the night of the New Year, Wangcheng turned out to be a huge accident. The devil and his head led his men into the city unexpectedly. Not only did they kill countless inhabitants of the city, even the demon king and his wife were not spared. In the endless darkness, almost dying.
Flower Valley came to the Yongcheng of Wangcheng in the early summer of this year, but there was a depression everywhere. Although the Sparrow Hotel still exists, it has changed its owner. Knowing that Mrs. Lan was missing and the business was difficult to continue, he had to return to Piaoxianggu with the goods, and it was many years after he came here again.
He had also thought about who to tell him about that night, but he was afraid that he might get in trouble. He was just a businessman, only asking for peace and security, never thinking about which side he wanted to trust, and who had the heavy responsibility, So I buried those words in my heart. But even after so many years, the voice of the man who talked to Mrs. Lan, as well as his terrible language, were still the constant theme of the nightmare that often haunted him.
I was drunk the night before and thought I could get a good night's sleep, but I had that dream again. Just when he was trapped in a dream, worried that he would be discovered by the two people in the dream, a sudden knock on the door woke him up. He opened his eyes and took a deep breath, feeling that he should really thank the person who knocked on his door.
Outside the door, besides the hotel owner, there was a young man. Even if Hua Gu was a little sleepy, he could see that this young man must have an extremely noble identity. And he had a hunch that the young man would come to the hotel owner to find himself, perhaps because of his nightmare.
The room was very messy, although the main goods were placed in another room rented by him as a warehouse on the first floor of the hotel, but his salute, the clothes he took off, and the large and small wine jars Scattered throughout the room, on the bed, on the table, on the floor ... everywhere. And there was a strong alcohol smell in the house, which was confused with the smell of various spices on his body, which caused the hotel owner and Ouyang Xiaolin to hold their noses at the same time.
"What's the smell?" The hotelier simply stepped back into the door.
"Oh, I drank more last night." Huagu stretched out and responded.
"I think it's better to talk to me. How can this place be a demon king ... ah no, lord, stay here." The hotel owner turned to Ouyang Xiao cold, and when he nodded, he said to Hua Gu, "Hua Gu, get dressed Come with us, this lord has something to ask you. Do n’t ask anything first, just do me a favor! "
Huagu casually put on a gown, but the matching strap was missing, so he casually tied one and walked downstairs. The three of them sat down in the hotel owner's room and looked at each other, omitting the process of politeness. Huagu asked directly, "I don't know if this adult is?"
The hotel owner was not sure if he could report the name of Ouyang Xiaoleng, so he looked at him and nodded when he saw him, "This is the master of the demon world now, Lord Demon King Fox!"
"I have long heard that this time he was on the throne as a teenager, but I didn't expect to be so young!" Hua Gu opened his eyes and looked at Ouyang Xiaoleng like a rare thing.
"Flower Valley, pay attention to your identity!" The hotel owner reminded.
Ouyang Xiaoliang said disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter, it's easier to talk with. It's just because I wanted to ask you about Mrs. Lan who used to be the proprietress in this hotel."
"It turns out so." Huagu responded as if he knew everything.
"Listening to your tone, you already guessed my purpose?" Ouyang Xiaolang asked curiously.
"Yeah. I'm naturally good at observing and observing. In addition, I have seen more guests, and this ability has unconsciously become stronger." Hua Gu smiled bitterly, he knew that what came should finally come.
