Chapter 5 Wind Tiger Cloud Dragon(1/2)
The residents of Tianjie were not sure whether they were frightened by the fighting just now. All the big shops closed their doors and windows, except for the bright lights of Manqingyuan, which made the nearby area as bright as day.
There was still a quarter of an hour until midnight. Most of the people attending the meeting had arrived at Tinliuge Street. Not even a single person was to be seen on Tingliuge Street. Even the patrolling city guards didn't know where they were hiding.
Due to the struggle between Yang Tong, the Dugu Clan and Wang Shichong, there was a vacuum in the governance of Luoyang City. However, the public security was better than usual because the local gangs tried their best to restrain their subordinates from causing trouble under such circumstances.
And outsiders don't want to cause trouble to avoid becoming the target of public criticism.
The three of them walked along the street towards Manqingyuan.
Kou Zhong suddenly sighed.
Ba Fenghan wondered: Even in the harsh situation just now, you could escape without losing even half of your hair, so why do you still sigh so much?
Kou Zhong put his hand on Ba Fenghan's shoulder and said sincerely: I think that your brother is about to leave and I feel very reluctant to leave him!
The strong lines on Ba Fenghan's face seemed to have melted a little. He glanced at Xu Ziling, who was walking silently on the other side, and said with a smile: "This is a banquet where everything under heaven comes to an end. It's great that Ba will meet these two brothers when he comes to Zhong."
It's a worthwhile trip.
What's more, in terms of martial arts cultivation, you will encounter unparalleled adventures and make breakthroughs that you have never dreamed of. What else do you want in life?
Xu Ziling said calmly: When will Brother Fenghan prepare to leave?
Ba Fenghan said in a deep voice: After killing Qu Ao, I will leave immediately, maybe tonight.
Both Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were shocked.
The former frowned and said: Why are you so rude to Qu Ao?
Ba Fenghan's eyes flashed with Shenhan's murderous intent and he said coldly: This is the oath I made when I was seriously injured by Qu Ao and threw myself into the water to escape. Whoever wants my life will be rewarded.
Then he smiled slightly and said: Another reason why you and I are particularly close to each other is that we experienced similar experiences. Kou Zhong looked at the empty long street and said in astonishment: What encounter?
Ba Fenghan said happily: Even our martial arts are all forced out by being chased by others. There is not a day when we are not on the run. Didn't you also experience the same thing after you obtained the (Secret of Immortality)?
Xu Ziling suddenly said: How sure are you about killing Qu Ao?
Ba Fenghan said: I didn’t have half a chance at first, but now I am absolutely sure.
Kou Zhong moved the hand on his shoulder and asked in surprise: Why such an extreme change?
Ba Fenghan replied calmly: Because there are still big flaws in his spiritual cultivation, which will cause emotional fluctuations. I just made him lose confidence in defeating me in the battle at Tianjin Bridge, so if I can expand his flaws tonight
Undoubted victory.
Finally, he added: If I can kill Qu Ao, then even if I don't go to Bi Xuan, he will come to me personally. It's hard for my opponent to ask Bi Xuan to defend me before it's too late!
Only then did the two of them suddenly realize.
Kou Zhongdao: I wonder if Old Man Qu and Fu Zi have fought?
At this time, the door of Manqingyuan was already five feet away. The big men who were guarding the door were all craning their necks to look at the three belated guests.
Ba Fenghan said: I'm just afraid that he will break the appointment.
※※※
The three of them had not yet entered the door but were greeted by more than a dozen big men who were guarding the door. They shouted respectfully and greeted them, which was completely different from the cold reception they received last time.
Ba Fenghan asked: Is Qu Ao here?
Someone replied: Uncle Qu just sent someone to inform him that he would arrive at the ugly time.
The three of them exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.
Kou Zhong frowned and said: Is Manqingyuan still controlled by the Luoyang Gang?
Another person replied: Of course it was the three business men who belonged to our Luoyang Gang who exposed the identity of the traitor Shangguan Long to us. Our whole gang is deeply grateful to them!
Kou Zhong secretly thought that he would ask again so smoothly: Then who is in charge of the Luoyang Gang now?
The man from earlier said solemnly: "To prevent our gang from falling into disintegration, the deputy gang leader and the heads of each gang have invited Big Boss Rong Fengxiang to be our gang leader. Who dares to dissent from his words?"
The three of them secretly thought that it was such a coincidence. This also shows that Rong Fengxiang is an important figure in Luoyang.
If you want to ask, after asking, the three of them walked toward the Tingliu Pavilion, shouting in front of each other and crowding behind.
The Tinliu Pavilion was more lively and packed than the night before. Fortunately, Rong Fengxiang personally ordered for some reason to reserve the wing in the north wing for them, so they didn't have to squeeze in with other people.
※※※
After the beautiful maids served the wine and food, a beautiful girl named Cui'er, who seemed to be the leader of the maids, smiled charmingly and said to the three of them: "Boss Rong specially ordered us to serve the three of us well. We have three flowers from the Manqing Courtyard: Lian'er and Ju'er."
He and Ping'er had seen the three of them displaying their prowess that night, and they were filled with admiration. Would you like them to sing two tunes for the uncle?
Kou Zhongqi said: There are so many distinguished guests tonight, how can they be separated?
Cui'er gave him a flirtatious look and said: It's useless for others to beg me, but the three uncles are different! Cui'er will make arrangements for you no matter how difficult it is. Now Li Chou Fashion has them for more than half an hour to come and guarantee the uncle's happiness.
Time will fly by like a fleeting moment.
Ba Fenghan casually stuffed half a piece of yellow gold into Cui'er's hand and said calmly: Is it another time for Zhishi Lang and Wang Bo to treat us this time? It seems that this is a lot of money?
When Cui'er got the gold, she even smiled and leaned half of her body against Ba Fenghan's body and whispered: This time it's Boss Rong's treat. It's a double happiness! He has ascended to the throne of gang leader and it's his birthday and he will make a lot of money.
Do you have time to worry about the small expenses? Okay! Everything is taken care of by the servant. I will go and invite the three flowers, okay?
Xu Ziling frowned and said: We still have important things to discuss...
Cui'er continued: Then the slave family will arrange for them to come later!
A burst of delicate smile flew away like a colorful butterfly.
Kou Zhong smiled at Ba Fenghan and said, "You spend so much money as if you have a bag full of gold."
Ba Fenghan said calmly: I have indeed made money in the past few years. In the troubled times, everyone is vying to mint coins, but only gold is the most reliable. It can be used outside the Central Plains. I will give it to you to use when I leave!
Tuk! Tuk!
Although Kou Zhong didn't hear the sound of footsteps, he felt someone whispering outside the door: Who?
Xing Mofei's familiar voice sounded outside the door: "I have been ordered by the prince to invite the three of you to the main hall downstairs for a glass of wine."
The three of them had a good impression of this person and wanted to see what he looked like. Kou Zhongzhu said: Brother Xing, please come in! Hearing this, Xing Mofei pushed the door open and held his hands in greeting. The three of them immediately confirmed that the person last night was not Fu Qian.
Otherwise, they would never miss one of the people beside them.
This master of Tuyuhun is twenty-five years old. He has a slim figure, long slender eyebrows, and a calm demeanor. He is wearing high-quality clothing and long boots that are convenient for riding and shooting. The whole person is as sharp as an arrow from the string, and his eyes are full of energy but make him nervous.
People feel that he is very emotional.
Although he is not handsome, his facial features appear to be very characterful, and he is the kind of person who is attractive and becomes more interesting the more you look at him.
The three of them stood up at the same time in return. After sitting down, Ba Fenghan asked: Is there anyone else in the hall below?
At this time, there was a fist-guessing and a drinking contest, and the sound of chatter with silk, bamboo and string instruments came from the direction of the terrace. Xing Mofei said with a smile: Of course, Wang Bo and Boss Rong are indispensable.
Xu Ziling was surprised and said: It seems that Brother Xing doesn't even pay attention to Wang Bo.
Xing Mofei said confidently: When it comes to whipping techniques, it is difficult for anyone at home and abroad to be better than anyone else. However, when it comes to people, we cannot just talk about martial arts. We also need to have character and cooperation to convince people. True heroes like these three are the ones my lord likes to associate with.
.
The three of them looked at each other in shock because according to rumors: Isn't Wang Bo very close to Fu Qian?
And if Wang Bo is a dishonest person and resembles Kong, how can a foreigner like him regard him as a close friend?
Kou Zhong asked in surprise.
Xing Mofei smiled and said: It is better for our lord to answer this matter personally when he has the opportunity. However, the three of them only need to look at the current heroes such as Du Fuwei and Li Zitong who once surrendered to Wang Bo and later rebelled.
It can be seen that this person has no capacity to accommodate others. Otherwise, his momentum will never be inferior to that of any rebel army.
Then he asked: Are the three of you surprised that Wang Bo didn't show up last night?
The three of them were stunned.
Xing Mofei smiled and said: The reason is very simple. He wants to take this matter on his body to please his master, but she doesn't appreciate it. The three of you must be careful about this. Please forgive me for the inconvenience of revealing other things.
Kou Zhongtou said: Although we have just met Brother Xing, we are already very good friends. This is the first time we have heard this information, which is very useful.
Ba Fenghan said: But what good does Wang Bo do to him? And didn’t he publicly declare that he would no longer compete in the Central Plains?
Xing Mofei sighed: Ambitious people are never willing to give up. Because of my respect for the three of them, I will reveal another piece of news to let the three of them know: Yu Wenhuaji has reorganized his position after returning to the north. With his deep foundation of the Yuwen clan,
He was preparing to flex his muscles again, and Wang Bo was very likely to form an alliance with him, so he would stir up trouble with the Heshi Bi.
The three of them suddenly realized.
Xing Mofei smiled bitterly and said: Judging from the expressions of the three of them, they will not go down below to see our Lord.
The four of us looked at each other and laughed loudly, filled with the pride of knowing each other.
After laughing, Xu Ziling asked: "Excuse me for asking me the reason for Prince Fu's arrival this time."
Xing Mofei lowered his voice and said: "My lord came to the Central Plains this time for two main purposes. One is to see what kind of outstanding people there are in the Central Plains. The other purpose is to find someone to settle accounts with."
Kou Zhong's eyes shot out a sharp light and said: The first purpose is too broad to be understood, but since Brother Xing doesn't want to know it, just don't ask! As for who exactly is he looking for? Who has such a great reputation?
Xing Mofei said happily: It's really interesting to talk to you. It saves a lot of nonsense. As for the person I'm looking for, Pei Ju is the one.
Kou Zhong was stunned and said: Who is Pei Ju? How come I have never heard of his name?
Ba Fenghan said coldly: Mr. Zhong, you have made a fool of yourself this time! Pei Ju's name is known to everyone in our community. It can be said that he is notorious far and wide. That's why.
