Lu Heng, a great merchant who followed the footsteps of the Huainan Lou ship and returned to Chang'an from outside the East China Sea, may never have thought that because of the conflict of a few words, he would be injured by a knife a moment later, and he would be bloodied in Mingyue Tower.

Chang'an City, he and his fellow businessmen have not been here before. That time was more than four years ago, in order to understand in detail the grand event of going to sea, many Lingnan businessmen went north to Chang'an, and it was also on this bright moon tower that the young marquis who moved the world once personally invited them to drink a glass of water and wine.

When I think about it, the temperature contained in that glass of wine is still fresh in my memory. And the value contained in that glass of wine is worth 10,000 taels of gold.

When a group of more than a dozen people sat in the position of this restaurant again, they still took care of the comparison between the present and the past, and their hearts were infinitely emotional, and they were naturally full of excitement and excitement between words and discussions.

I heard that Changle Hou Yuanzhao is still fighting on the grassland and may not be able to return to Chang'an in the short term, which can't help but make people regret. In addition to witnessing the grand scene of Chang'an, their greatest expectation was to be able to meet Yuan Zhao, toast each other with a glass of wine, and express their gratitude in their hearts.

However, among the drinkers, they also heard other words. It is said that it is such a grand occasion for the kings of the world to meet the Son of Heaven in the Weiyang Palace, how could the Yuan Hou, who played a major role in this, not be present? It is said that the Son of Heaven had already issued an edict to put aside the affairs of the northern Xinjiang for the time being and rush back to witness this moment of victory of the Han Dynasty.

This kind of news made Lu Heng and the others rejoice. At the foot of the Son of Heaven, the capital of the Han Dynasty, as a native of Chang'an, the news is still very well-informed, since someone said it so true, then they would rather believe it is true. In a good mood, drinking and talking are very cheerful.

However, it was not long before the sound from a banquet not far away sounded a little harsh. Lu Heng's brows furrowed, and when he listened to a few words carefully, he glanced at the rest of the people, and anger gradually rose in his heart.

In a great position by the window from three tables, there were seven or eight people sitting around drinking. They all look young, dressed luxuriously, and are complicated, but they can't see their specific identities. These people have been drinking and feasting for a long time, they are all slightly drunk, and their words are very frivolous, at first they didn't understand what they were talking about, but when they directly named their names, some of the nearby drinkers looked sideways to this side, although no one said anything for a while, but the meaning of what these people said was obvious.

“…… Beyond the East China Sea, there is Penglai Immortal Mountain, which is a true thing. Among the thousands of islands of different sizes, there are immortal inhabitants on them, and there is more than one place. Those who have been lucky enough to go to those places are called immortal masters in the world. The original predecessors don't need to talk about it first, but now the Luan Immortal Master, who is very trusted by today's son in the palace, is the person who has been appointed by the immortals. What he said, of course, is beyond doubt! ”

A man with a slender figure and a very arrogant face pointed in the direction of Weiyang Palace. He had been talking at length for a long time, and finally gradually turned to the main topic.

Those who can sit together and drink, although their identities are different and their knowledge is different, but they know how to deal with this matter. The forces behind each other have long reached a consensus, and their task is to build momentum in advance and use every opportunity to form a feeling in the minds of the people of Chang'an that the Han Dynasty is auspicious beyond the East China Sea.

"What Brother Li said is extremely true! I heard Master once say that when he met an immortal out of Penglai on the sea, he was fortunate enough to be enlightened by him, and then he had great magical powers. The immortal clearly said that the Han Dynasty was not mourning, and there were auspicious signs. If we can seek its long-term protection, then we must be stable and stable, so that the prosperity of the world continues to develop, and the prosperity of the millennium is ......not a problem. ”

The person who called the boy Brother Li had a wide robe with his hair tied up, his big sleeves fluttering, and he was very young, so he looked a little dusty. This person has a cold and arrogant face, probably because of drinking, but there is a smile on his face when he speaks, which looks different from usual.

Li Gongzi's name is Li Zheng, who is the distant cousin of Mrs. Li of the current Shuyu Palace, although he only received the position of a loose official in a certain office of the imperial court, and does not have much prominent power, but because of the relationship of the Li family, he is faintly in a special position among the children who are familiar with each other, and his casual words will also be sought after by others. In this way, he developed the habit of arrogance and pride.

"Haha! Of course, Immortal Master Luan is a person with great ability, otherwise he would not be so valued by today! Naturally, what he said could not be wrong. There are many immortal mountains and treasure islands outside the East China Sea, auspicious signs, and purple qi comes from the east, such an important place...... I wonder if the Venerable Master has any good opinions about His Majesty the Emperor? ”

The person who claimed to be a disciple of the Immortal Master Luan Xinyu in the palace heard Li Zheng ask, and deliberately groaned for a while, quite a bit of the appearance that the affairs of the Immortal Family should not be easily leaked. Then shaking his head and sighing, there were already people next to him who couldn't wait and asked eagerly.

"I heard that beyond the East China Sea, there are not only immortal mountain immortals, but also gold treasures everywhere on those islands...... In such an important place, how can a few outdated princes and kings be allowed to divide it at will? It seems that Luan Immortal Master should persuade the emperor to quickly take it back to the imperial court. In this way, not only can people be sent to explore the traces of immortals, but also greatly increase the income of the national treasury! Didn't the Venerable Master mention such a thing to the Son of Heaven? ”

Seeing a few people next to him, I didn't know if it was because they were drinking, or if they were sincerely thinking about the emperor and the court, showing a loyal and worried about the affairs of the monarch's kingdom. Immortal Master Luan's disciple smiled slightly, and finally spoke loudly.

"Such a simple and clear truth, when my master preached the scriptures and discussed the Tao with His Majesty the Emperor, he must have already said that he knew with His Majesty. This is not to worry about you, Your Majesty has always attached great importance to the things proposed by the master...... As for this final decision, of course, it will be announced only after His Majesty the Emperor and the ministers have discussed it and everything has been thought out before it will be announced! So everyone is relieved. Hehe! ”

This disciple, who is not very old, is arrogant and affirmative, as if he is an authoritative release. While winning loud praise from the people sitting with him, he didn't know that it had already caused deep worry and resentment in the hearts of some people nearby.

If it were only for now, it would not have caused any conflict. However, things in the world are like this, once people get carried away, they often start talking nonsense. The people at the banquet here, led by Li Zheng, changed the topic and talked about the rest of the things.

"Hey, have you heard? This time, the princes of the East China Sea came to Chang'an to meet them, and the lord of Huainan also came...... Hehe, it is said that this woman didn't know who she was with overseas, and even gave birth to a child, and she brought it to Chang'an, which can be described as a strange story! ”

“…… Yes? Is this really the case? This is really ridiculous and bizarre, and she can be regarded as a dignified royal woman, who would do such a thing, if this is true, it will be a complete loss of face for the Han Dynasty. What will those Dongyi people and Goryeo people think! ”

"Huh! Liu Shu, the lord of Huainan County, thought that he was often in Chang'an back then, and someone had seen him, and it was said that he was born in a country and a city. But I didn't expect it...... Alas! Shame on you! ”

"Yes! How dare you do such a thing and dare to come back to Chang'an? Is it really disregarding royal etiquette? Hum! I also brought a wild seed, and I don't know how it ...... at the beginning. ”

Some people couldn't stop shaking their heads and sighing, but the obscene looks on each other's faces couldn't be hidden. The king of Huainan was old and out of power, and now that he had retired overseas, he was no longer worth fearing. The high-ranking Leng Yan County Lord, although he has no hope of getting half a point, but between the words, it seems that there is an inexplicable pleasure in his heart, which can be regarded as a kind of imaginary enjoyment.

"How can this be true? Listening to you, you can be regarded as a person with status. How can you be so casual in slandering others behind your back?"

Not far away, someone broke off with a faint anger in his voice. Many people in the neighborhood looked up, stopped their glasses, and looked at them with some surprise, not understanding what was happening.

Li Zheng and the others were also a little surprised, they really didn't expect that someone here would dare to refute them in public, and the tone was very unceremonious. I couldn't help but throw the wine glass in my hand on the table, sink my face, and before I could say anything, the other party had already continued.

"You people...... It's just nonsense, inexplicable! In the past few years, the county lord has used his outstanding talents to manage all the affairs of the king of Huainan and the rest of the princes who went overseas. Not only at the time of creation, but also painstakingly and meticulously planned, laying a good foundation for all kinds of things. Moreover, he personally commanded the army to quell the local indigenous alliance between several large islands, and made a significant contribution to the tranquility of the entire East China Sea. Shall these things be known to you? ”

"Ahh Where did the arrogant people come from, daring to spread wild on the territory of Chang'an? Do you have your share here? Don't ask, what are the identities of grandfathers! Come on, give me a good lesson and teach them a lesson, today I have to not recognize your parents who beat you, so that you can have a long memory, you can eat as much as you want, you can drink as much as you want, but this is the only one who avenges the grievances of others, but you have to pay the price! Hum! ”

Someone in the seat got up, casually threw the wine glass in his hand in the opposite direction, and then followed the guard like a wolf and pounced viciously, and the two sides could not say anything, and started a scuffle.

Disagreeing with each other and drawing swords against each other is just an ordinary thing in the eyes of some people who believe in their own identity. The big merchants of the East China Sea, who were not psychologically prepared, were caught off guard, and several people were already injured one after another, shouting angrily, and retreating again and again.
