It took Ling Feng ten more days to bypass Luoshui City. Looking at the gradually clear outline of the city wall in the distance, Ding Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and supported the little girl who was sleeping on his back. The big man said excitedly:
"Master, we have arrived at Dongfeng City."
Dongfeng City is the capital of Dongdu County. It is the first big city that enters the Central Plains after crossing the northwest. The decoration of red walls and green tiles is very fresh. It is completely different from the high-walled and deep houses in the northwest. Pedestrians on the road or wearing
Wearing thin short coats or open-fronted robes, women are even more dazzling. All kinds of costumes are eye-catching. They are either a large white bulge on the chest, or a long skirt that reaches the thigh, made of silk.
It seems that you can clearly see red, green, and various colors of chest wraps under the outer shirt. Even Ling Feng, who has experienced modern society before, was shocked by the scene in front of him.
The little fox looked at the various clothes with interest, with a woman's unique light in her eyes. Situ Qingyang just walked casually, not paying much attention to these things. As for the short man, his small mung bean eyes almost turned into...
Soybean, you should look as vulgar as you want.
Because it is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, the city gates here are relatively loose. Except for a few soldiers who noticed that they were dressed strangely and asked a few questions, there were no procedures. Even the city entry tax was waived. Ling Feng smashed it.
Smacking his lips, he took his wallet back, "They say that the Central Plains is rich, and it seems true." Situ Qingyang showed a smile, and turned around and said: "The imperial capital will still be prosperous, but I'm afraid you will be dazzled by it.
"
"The Imperial Capital is called the Capital of Heaven. That's not unreasonable. Let me tell you, young master, when we arrive at the Imperial Capital, you don't have to go to all the places, but there is one place you must not miss." The short man came back to his senses.
He came and returned excitedly immediately. "Where?" Ling Feng asked curiously. He had no knowledge at all about the imperial capital where he would live for four years.
"Chunfeng Tower." Situ Qingyang rolled his eyes at the short man. Just by looking at his wretched eyes with yellow light, she knew what place he was talking about. "Chunfeng Tower?" Ling Feng frowned, this was not what he originally said.
Is it the place that my father told me when I left home? Is it the same as I guessed?
"Hey, Miss Situ, have you been there too?" Hu Xiao stared at her little eyes, looking very surprised. "How could it be that I went to that place?" Situ Qingyang's face turned red, and he was embarrassed.
"That place is a geisha house, not a brothel. Why do you look like that?" the short man said in a low voice.
"Don't go~!" Although the little fox is new to the world, she has eaten and slept with Situ Qingyang these days. She understands many things. Looking at the little fox staring at her with big eyes, Lingfeng spread his hands and said
"I didn't say I was going, why are you so excited?" "Miss Situ said that place would lead to bad men, and I don't want the young master to become bad." The little fox explained seriously.
Ling Feng smiled, looked at Situ Qingyang helplessly, and wondered in his mind, what did she teach Ahri? "I'm hungry." The little girl Ding Li was carrying woke up and rubbed it with his hands.
Eyes said. "Master, you promised me to treat me to a big dinner." The little fox said quickly. Ling Feng patted his belt and said with a smile: "No problem, find the best restaurant and have a good meal."
.”
"Don't ask about the restaurant", a tall sign was hung at the door of a dirt courtyard. Lingfeng squinted at it, looked at Hu Xiao and said: "This is the best restaurant in Dongfeng City? Are you kidding?" The short man patted confidently.
He patted his chest and said, "Master, don't be fooled by this appearance. This place has the best food and wine in Dongfeng City. I, Hu Xiao, never joke about eating."
"Okay, if you don't like it, you can explain it to Ahri yourself." Lingfeng nodded and walked inside. The short man leaned towards Ahri and said with a charming smile: "Miss Ahri, I will definitely let you
You're satisfied." Even though his heart was full of greed, Ah Li still deliberately said with a straight face: "You won't know until you eat it."
"Sorry, it's full." Although the appearance of the earthen courtyard is not very good, as soon as you enter, the aroma of wine and vegetables mix with each other, which makes people's index fingers tickle for a while, and everyone walks away excitedly.
When I walked in, I heard these words.
"Full? There are seats in your backyard. Are they also full?" The short man squeezed out from behind Ding Li and shouted loudly. "Uncle, since you know the seats in the backyard, you should understand the rules here. This seat
Yes, but some of them are not suitable to sit in." The restaurant opened its doors for business, so naturally it was unwilling to chase the guests out of the door. However, the rules set at the establishment of the restaurant meant that the private seats were not open to ordinary people, and neither were the showcases.
The only way is to stay with a smile while being embarrassed.
"What are you breaking the rules?" The short man ate here only at the invitation of others. As for the rules, he didn't know anything about it. His little eyes crossed, and the short man's face immediately became fierce. The shopkeeper said hurriedly: "This one is in the backyard.
The private seats are only reserved for Dou Dao Masters, and only Earth Dou Masters are eligible to enjoy them. Everyone in Dongfeng City knows this rule, so please don’t be surprised."
"I thought it was a difficult rule, but it turns out it's just this. I am the Earth Fighter." As he said that, the short man took out the medal from his waist. Every fighter has the Fighter Medal. Ling Feng thought this
It was just an identification tag. Unexpectedly, when the short man put his hand on the medal, the medal actually emitted a dazzling light. The shopkeeper hurriedly took out a stone and placed it on the medal. When the stone was completely covered by the light of the medal,
, he hurriedly put on a smile and said, "Uncle, please come inside."
"Master, please." The short man raised his eyebrows. This action had already attracted the attention of many people in the hall. The change in attitude of the shopkeeper made the crowd utter a lot of exclamations and looks of envy and jealousy.
All of them were thrown at the short man, but then, the short man stepped back, and actually let a young man behind him come over like a servant. There was a sudden discussion in the hall, which could make the Earth Fighting Master stand out.
Which family will he be the son of?
Ling Feng came forward. The shopkeeper said a few polite words and guided the group to the backyard with great respect. "Sir, the Peony Pavilion and the Peony Pavilion are both empty. Which one are you looking at?" Ling Feng
He wrinkled his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Peony handle." "Uncle knows the goods." The shopkeeper raised his thumb, and Ling Feng followed him in the fog to an attic in the backyard. This was not visible from the outside. It turned out that
There is a cave inside. The attic is in a small garden. A large area of peonies is planted in the front, and behind the attic there is a small lake with lotus flowers floating in the lake and silk and bamboo. There are four such attics in total, which are arranged in four directions.
A small lake surrounds it.
"Finally we can have a good meal." Ah Li sat down on the chair wrapped in gold brocade and stretched out. The little girl brought from Luoshui City sat next to her very obediently.
, resting his little head on the round table, his big eyes curiously looked at the glittering tableware.
"These chopsticks are probably pure silver." Ding Li picked up the chopsticks and looked at them like a country bumpkin. The short man grinned, "Dali, if you like it, I can give you a set when you return to the imperial capital." Ding Li
He smiled faintly, put down his chopsticks and said, "I can't bear it. When I was young, I couldn't even eat enough. I often picked up two branches from the roadside and used them as chopsticks. If I hadn't followed the young master,
I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to look at such tableware."
The short man's face froze slightly. He knew that Ding Li was born in poverty and he was not a great cultivation genius. Those words just now were all well-intentioned. Unexpectedly, Ding Li said this as if he was mocking Ding Li. Ling Feng laughed.
He smiled, patted Ding Li on the shoulder and said: "Ahu is a rich man. Don't refuse. If he gives it to you and you don't want it, you can just give it to me. I really hope to have such a lot of money."
It's golden." Ding Li laughed, and the short man's embarrassment immediately disappeared, and he shouted that he must give Ling Feng a set.
The little fox was not interested in the topic they were talking about at all. He just looked at the table blankly, waiting for the dishes to be served. Situ Qingyang looked at Ling Feng and the others with a smile on his lips. If she were not with Ling Feng, she would not be able to
Imagine, a young master from an aristocratic family, a low-level mercenary, and a vulgar armor-defying master, how could they come together?
"I'm sorry, there are already people sitting in the Peony Courtyard. Please come over there." Ling Feng and the others sat by the window on the second floor so that they could easily see the peonies in the yard, but suddenly there was a noise from downstairs.
The sound seemed to be that the shopkeeper was explaining to someone. The room became quiet, and everyone pricked up their ears in unison.
"Shopkeeper, please don't use your words to push us away. Don't say that there is no one inside. Even if there is someone, you have to let me out~!" The voice of the reply was very rude and extremely rude. The shopkeeper also became hardened.
He said coldly: "Those who can come to our backyard are not ordinary people. Guests, please don't make trouble here. I can open this restaurant. Is it possible that I am afraid of you?"
"Young Master Peony Pavilion, please sit down, little brother, wipe your eyes and see who the young master is~!" The voice was extremely arrogant, and all he heard was a slap in the face. The short man suddenly stood up, but Ling Feng
After shaking his head slightly, the short man sat down again. There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then the closed wooden door was kicked open, and then a group of people seemed to rush in.
"Listen to me upstairs. Today, I am treating you to a guest. I am going to pay you ten thousand gold coins for the Peony Pavilion. If you want it, get out, or if you don't, break your legs and get out~!" The voice downstairs was extremely arrogant, and the short man said:
Anger rushed up, and Ling Feng did not stop him anymore, but picked up the teacup and nodded.
"Hey, who's beast are you? The door of the pen was not closed properly and you ran out. Please let me know what you can do to let me out." Hu Xiao jumped out of the window. Although he was short, he jumped out of the window.
, but his body was extremely strong, and his face was ferocious. As soon as he popped out, more than a dozen people below him were stunned.
