Chapter 17: In Guanfang Lane, in front of the Peony Pavilion

Luoyang City, Ziyu Lane, Grand Hyatt Inn. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lu Yi looked curiously at the furnishings of the Tianzi No. 1 room, only to see that the door was a vermilion lacquer carving, antique Eight Immortals table, on the table was a pair of white jade porcelain fired by the official kiln, each teacup was carved with a lifelike peony flower, into the left hand side is the couch, the purple red curtain is woven with silk of water, the pillow on the bed, the bedding embroidered are also full of purple jade, ink fragrance, Feng Dan, Zhao Fan and other precious peonies, the end is the national color of the heavenly fragrance, he couldn't help but praise: "This is the inn?" I didn't expect it to be so extravagant. ”

Li Mubai saw Lu Yi's look of amazement, and couldn't help but tease: "What kind of luxury is this, I will take you to the Peony Pavilion for a while, and let you know what it means to be extremely luxurious and spend a lot of money." ”

"Spending a lot of money?" Lu Yi suddenly opened his mouth wide, hurriedly turned around and closed the door, couldn't help but quietly touched the silver ticket worth one thousand taels in his arms, and asked cautiously, "Brother Li, how much is this house we live in for a night?" "If I spend this thousand taels of silver at once, let the master know that I must not be thrown into Luoshui to soak for three days and three nights?

Li Mubai put the jade sword on the table, poured two glasses of water and handed it to Lu Yi for a glass, took a sip before saying with a smile: "It's not expensive, it's just ten taels of silver." ”

"What? Ten taels of silver for a night? They're robbing! Lu Yi almost threw away the teacup in his hand, ten taels of silver was equivalent to all the expenses of ordinary people in the past year.

Li Mubai was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the Lu Yi in front of him was not the little young master of Lufu who grew up in a honey pot, but a fishing boy who urinated and followed the "Sword Saint" Wuhan River to hide in the rivers and lakes, presumably he rarely had the opportunity to live in such a good inn in a big city as Luoyang, so he changed the topic and said: "Let's not talk about this issue first, you can tell me why you pretend to be Yu Gongzi!" ”

Lu Yi often heard the master mention the name of "drunk and crazy" Li Mubai, just now the two of them came to the inn from the deserted mansion of Lufu, he also confirmed Li Mubai's identity again, knowing that he was once a member of the Kyushu Juyi League, at this time he no longer had anything to hide, and told Li Mubai the whole process from meeting Yu Mian, Yu Xin's sister and brother, to Yu Mian's serious injury and death, and then to the master's plan to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chen Cang.

Li Mubai had already received the news that Yu Qian had been trapped and killed, and at this time, when he heard Lu Yi talk about the thrilling escape process of Yu Mian and Yu Xin's sister and brother, he couldn't help but feel palpitations, and couldn't help but sneer and scold Hua Qianshu for being a scum of the rivers and lakes.

When he heard that Wu Hanjiang not only did not hesitate to risk his life in order to protect Yu Xin, the only remaining bloodline of the Yu family, but even ruthlessly pushed his beloved disciple into a desperate situation, he was suddenly moved, and his admiration for the "Sword Saint" was a little more.

"And what's next for you?" After Li Mubai listened to Lu Yi's narration, he asked.

Lu Yi said without thinking: "Master and Sister Xin are going to Longmen, there will definitely be many dangers and killings along the way, I plan to find a prosperous area in Luoyang City, reveal my whereabouts, and let the killers of Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Wangjianglou think that I am going to transfer to Shuzhong, attract them over, and reduce the pressure on Master and Sister Xin!" ”

Li Mubai heard that Lu Yi's words were full of worries about Wu Hanjiang and Yu Xin, but he only ignored his personal life and death, and couldn't help but say: "Although the behavior of Jinyiwei and Dongchang is despised by the people of the rivers and lakes, there are indeed many masters in it, not to mention masters like Gao Jianfeng, Luo Tong, Shen Xingyue and Xiao Li, even the 'Twelve Guards of Fresh Clothes and Angry Horses' and the 'Thirteen Horsemen' of Jinyiwei in Dongchang are also all strong in martial arts, and they are by no means easy to do, how should you deal with them?" ”

Lu Yi said proudly: "Don't say that it is Gao Jianfeng and Xiao who parted, even if Wan Yanlie and Cao Guanxue are coming, I am not afraid!" Thinking that his father was framed by Wan Yanlie's design, Lu Yi couldn't wait to rush to the capital right now to dismantle Wan Yanlie.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Li Mubai asked.

Lu Yi was shocked, and suddenly thought of the conversation between Master Wu Hanjiang and himself at the time of parting, when he had asked Master an almost identical question, and Master's answer was still deafening and endless, he couldn't help but say in a loud voice: "Even if you die, what?!" ”

This time it was Li Mubai's turn to be completely shocked, he was once impressed by the style of Lu Jiuzhou, the "smoke and rain of Kyushu", so he resolutely gave up the free life of wandering the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect his son Lu Yi, who was sixteen years old and not yet weak, to have this insight and courage, he couldn't help but shout in his heart: "When the Kyushu Juyi League is reopened, it is just around the corner!" ”

Thinking of this, Li Mubai slapped the table suddenly, copied the jade sword in his hand, and said to Lu Yi: "Let's go, I will accompany you to the Peony Pavilion tonight, and tomorrow at this time, the name of you and me will spread all over the rivers and lakes!" ”

Lu Yi didn't know what the Peony Pavilion was, he saw Li Mubai's solemn expression, and thought that there would be a fierce battle later, so he couldn't help but be excited, clenched the long sword in his hand, and followed Li Mubai out of the room.

The two of them walked out of the Grand Hyatt Inn one after the other, Li Mubai slightly discerned the direction, and pointed to an alley not far away where the car was like a flowing water and a horse was like a dragon, and the song of Yingge and Yan was like a song and a sound of the piano and said to Lu Yi: "There is called Guanfang Lane, the door can be full of birds during the day, and the courtyards in the alley will open the door to welcome guests as soon as they enter the night, and among them, the Peony Pavilion is the most famous, and it must be a city every night. ”

Lu Yi was ignorant, how did he know that Li Mubai was talking about the Qinglou place, listening to what Li Mubai said, he couldn't help but be eager to try and yearn for it: "Brother Li, there is still such a place in Luoyang City?" Why didn't Master ever tell me? ”

Li Mubai couldn't help but think: "It's normal for the old man of 'Sword Saint' not to tell you, it's not normal to tell you!" So he said, "Aren't I going to take you there, let's go quickly, you won't be able to hear Feng Feifei's song when it's late!" ”

Although Lu Yi still had a lot of questions in his heart, seeing that Li Mubai didn't tell him what he meant, it was inconvenient to ask more, so he could only follow his pace and wait until he arrived at the Peony Pavilion to find out.

The light skills of the two are good, and Li Mubai was worried about Feng Feifei's song, so he didn't go down the alley, but jumped on the wall and went straight to the direction of Guanfang Lane.

Before the two of them had time to catch their breath, a half-aged dressed in flowers and flowers walked out of the Peony Pavilion, pulled Li Mubai and said, "Oh, isn't this Li Gongzi?" Why do you have time to come to my Peony Pavilion today? Saying that, he threw a wink at Lu Yi and said, "This little boy is tight-eyed, but I don't know which son's son it is?" ”

Lu Yi was stunned and stammered, and he almost couldn't hold back his cough when he was smoked by the fat powder smell of the half-old.

Li Mubai often plays with flowers, but he is not surprised by such a thing, and when he saw Lu Yi embarrassed, he took over and said: "This is Yu Gongzi from Beijing, mother (editor's note: old bustard) You have to find a few girls to wait carefully for a while!" ”

When the half-elder Xu Nian saw that although Lu Yi had sword eyebrows and starry eyes and extraordinary style, he was dressed like a rich man's son, and he looked childish, so he couldn't help but say, "What's going on today?" There's just a strange one over there, and there's another one from an unknown source. But he said enthusiastically, "Li Gongzi, don't worry, I will call all the sisters Ruyan, Ruliu, Ruyu and Ruyi over in a while, and I will only accompany Gongzi tonight!" ”

Li Mubai's face suddenly changed, and he shook off the bustard's arm and said: "Mom knows the purpose of my visit, but she only pushes and says to let the four sisters Ruyan and Ruyu come over, and never mentions Feifei, is it because she is worried that I Li Mubai will not be able to pay the bill?" ”

Although the old bustard is not a person in the rivers and lakes, but there are many characters from the three religions and nine streams in this green building, and there are many people in the rivers and lakes, this Li Mubai in front of him is known as one of the four sons of the rivers and lakes, and it is definitely not something she can provoke, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "Li Gongzi, see what you are talking about?" It's a well-known thing that you're generous, but today there are already guests who have ordered Feifei's water card, and there is really no way to come out to pick up customers! ”

She can't afford to mess with Li Mubai in front of her, but she can't afford to mess with the Lei Gongzi inside either!

Li Mubai came to listen to Feng Feifei's song today, but he had a more important thing, that is, to pass on the message that Lu Yi is Yu Mian was through the Peony Pavilion, originally he was thinking about whether he would deliberately find some fault later, but he didn't expect that the old bustard had already prepared a reason for him to find fault.

Thinking of this, Li Mubai deliberately made an angry expression, grabbed the arm of Lu Yi, who was red-eared, and reached out to push the old bustard and the turtle slave at the door aside, and immediately rushed inside.

At this time, it was the most lively time in the Peony Pavilion, but most of the thugs in the pavilion had seen Li Mubai's power, and they didn't dare to stop it at all, and most of the guests who came to have fun in the pavilion came to listen to Feng Feifei's music, but they didn't know where a "Lei Gongzi" came out of nowhere, not only broke into Feng Feifei's boudoir directly, but also specially sent an iron tower man to guard the staircase, and a few people who believed in their kung fu planned to break through, but they were thrown down the stairs directly by the iron tower man.

Among the guests knew Li Mubai, seeing that he was ready to break through, they all gave way to make a way, looking forward to him as one of the four sons of the rivers and lakes to show his skills, clean up this tower man, and let out a bad breath for everyone.
