The two Lu Zuo brothers went all the way down the mountain, not saying a word about what had just happened. Lu Renxiang was angry, and Lu Zuo also knew that his younger brother's anger had not subsided at this time, so he didn't explain much.

After returning to the Gaosheng Inn, Lu Renxiang didn't speak, took care of his own bedding, and fell asleep directly. Seeing that his younger brother was still angry, Lu Zuo just shook his head slightly, helplessly took the book and picked up the lamp to read it.

Oh, the shopkeeper knocked on the door again, saying that he was bringing dinner. The guy heard Lu Zuo call in, so he pushed the door in.

The shopkeeper saw that Lu Zuo's younger brother was on the bed early, so he asked, "Did the second son lie down so early today?" The light market outside is very lively tonight! Isn't it cold? Do you want to invite a doctor to the second son? ”

Lu Zuo had a calm face and waved his hand to signal the guy not to talk too much.

The guy in the shop shouted at Lu Renxiang again: "The second son is up and have dinner!" It's freezing on this day, and the food will be cold for a while! ”

"Sleep!" Lu Renxiang said that he wrapped the head of the bedding, and said angrily in the quilt, "Don't eat!" ”

The shopkeeper paused for a moment and glanced at Lu Zuo. Lu Zuo smiled and said, "Man, you put away the food first!" We are not hungry. ”

The shopkeeper also understood at this time, and it was estimated that the two brothers had quarreled, so he smiled awkwardly: "That's good!" The little one will put the food in the stove for the two of you first, and if you two want to eat, just say hello, and the little one will serve it to the two of you. ”

"Very good, thank you then!" Lu Zuo said with a smile.

After the shopkeeper left, Lu Zuo still picked up the book in his hand and read it, and after a while, he felt a chill in the back of his head, so he got up and went to close the window.

Today is the Shangyuan Festival, the remnant snow on the roof tiles outside and the full moon in the sky reflect each other, when looking at the street, every household is full of colorful lanterns, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside and the noise of the crowd, the noise makes people a little uneasy.

Lu Zuo looked at the bright moon in front of the window, pondered for a long time, then closed the window, sat down again, and was about to pick up the book to read, Lu Renxiang couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "Brother, how many things are still hidden from me?" ”

"Get up, let's have two drinks together!" Lu Zuo said unhurriedly.

"I'm going to tell the guy to bring the food!" Lu Renxiang estimated that he was already hungry and couldn't help it, so he went straight up and asked the store guy to bring the wine and food.

After the two brothers of the Lu family had three cups and two lamps, Lu Zuo told Lu Renxiang what happened one by one, it turned out that the thief that day was none other than Chen Huizhi, and Chen Huizhi was Qin Fu's disciple.

"Then according to my brother's meaning, these things are carefully arranged by you? When did my brother worship under the Zen master of the old knowledge, how do I not know? ”

"Actually, I have been a master-apprentice friend with Master for many years, and he has taught him all these skills, and he is really a reinventing parent for my brother!" Lu Zuo's face was full of emotion at this time, and he was full of emotion, "Brother Wei also wants to tell you when the time is ripe." ”

The two pushed the glass and changed the lamp and chatted about a few glasses of wine, and the shopkeeper knocked on the door again, and asked Lu Zuo with a smile on his face if he wanted to heat another pot of wine. Lu Zuo asked, "This wine is almost drunk." What time is it? ”

"It's almost the beginning of the year! Now the light market outside is lively, and if you brothers don't go to see it, you'll have to wait until next year! ”

Lu Renxiang couldn't hold it anymore, stood up while putting down the chopsticks in his hand, and said, "Brother, hurry up!" Let's go see the lanterns and come back to eat! ”

Lu Zuo looked at his willful younger brother at the moment, smiled slightly, stood up and went out with Lu Renxiang's hurried back.

The streets of Kyoto are bone-chilling. Although the Lu brothers added a few cotton clothes and put on cloaks, they still couldn't stop the cold wind in the capital, and the two of them were still a little shivering when they walked in the bustling sea of people. The Lu brothers walked through the streets and alleys, and saw that the street in front of them was crowded, and when they asked, they realized that this was Mashi Street.

The lanterns on both sides of the horse market street are dazzling, and when Lu Zuo is looking dizzying, he suddenly hears the neighing of a horse behind him, and when he looks back, a tall horse is galloping, and immediately a young man in a green shirt is raising his whip and scolding: "Get out of the way of Uncle Ben!" ”

The young man in green shirt said that the horse's front hooves had stepped towards Lu Zuo, and the young man in green shirt pulled the reins in his hand tightly to the left, and pulled the reins hard to the left to stop the horse, so that the Lu brothers avoided a difficulty.

At this time, Lu Renxiang had already been frightened to the point that his face was pale, his breath was short, and he was frightened. Lu Zuo beside him still didn't change his face, and carefully looked at the young man in front of him. Looking at this handsome young man dressed in a gorgeous green shirt and a gilded tiara, he must be the son of an official eunuch in the capital.

The young man glanced at Lu Zuo, and didn't look at them squarely, so he walked away again, and where he passed, the crowd scattered in panic, and chickens and dogs jumped.

"Brother, what kind of person is this! Rushing to reincarnate, relying on a few stinky money to be so lawless! Lu Renxiang came to his senses, and after scolding, he still had words in his mouth. The people beside him were not surprised to come forward to comfort the two foreigners, one of whom was a white-haired old man, staring at their brother with squinting eyes, and said, "You two are coming to Beijing to participate in the scientific examination!" ”

"Exactly!" Lu Zuo bowed his hand to Lao Suo.

"No wonder you don't know!"

"Old man, who is he? Such rudeness! Lu Renxiang said with a dissatisfied face and righteous indignation.

"This man! I don't know if you've heard of it, he is An Shilu, the second son of the founding hero Ping Yuanbo! ”

Lu Renxiang frowned and looked at Lu Zuo with puzzled eyes. Lu Zuo seemed to have known about this person for a long time, and said indifferently: "Pingyuan's name is An Yuanshan, how could you not know?" Didn't I tell you? ”

Lu Renxiang frowned and scratched his head, his brows suddenly became clear, "Yes, yes, it is General An Yuanshan An, who followed Emperor Taizu to fight in the south and north at a young age, because he once saved Taizu in the siege of the enemy, and then was made an earl." ”

The old man also nodded his head again and again.

"But I heard that General An is very disciplined and upright, where can there be such a son who is arrogant and unreasonable, and he is still rampage in the street and market, and he is not afraid of accidentally injuring the people!" Lu Renxiang still haunted the scene just now.

"You're right! Uncle Pingyuan is a veritable good official in our place, and at the end of every month, he will set up a shed in the western suburbs of the city to give porridge and food to the ronin beggars. His family only has two sons and a daughter, the eldest is called An Shiqing, but he was the first in martial arts that year, and now he is running errands under the account of Marshal Zhou. This little daughter seems to have heard everyone say that she is still waiting for the boudoir, and she doesn't know what her name is, so she knows that she has a title, what is the county lord of Qiongqian. ”

As the three of them walked, Lao Suo introduced him to the two of them, "That is the youngest son of Uncle Pingyuan just now, named An Shilu, who can be regarded as a cynical son of an official family in the capital, and everyone just looks at Uncle Pingyuan's face, so they don't want to comment on anything." ”

Lao Suo said and lowered his voice again, "It's just that the people in the capital call him 'Mixed Earth Dragon' behind their backs, and they can't be provoked." You two brothers weren't hurt tonight, so we're lucky. ”

Seeing his enthusiasm, Lu Zuo asked, "Old man, why did you come out alone at night to see the lantern?" What about your family? ”

Lao Suo smiled, but did not answer, only said that there was something else and turned to say goodbye.

Lu Renxiang looked at the back of Lao Suo who left in a hurry, and only felt a little funny, "This old man is a little interesting, he is so energetic when he talks about other people's affairs, ask him, and run away!" After saying that, Lu Renxiang shook his head, feeling a little strange.

Lu Zuo also stared at the direction of Lao Suo's departure at this moment, pondered for a moment, and was awakened by the sound of fireworks and cannons, and the two continued to watch the excitement of the social fire.
