Chapter 19: Shendu

"Only the peony is true to the country, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom." This is a sentence in Liu Yuxi's poem "Appreciating Peony", which means that peony flowers are the most beautiful flowers in the world.

Peony flowers are beautiful, and the peony flowers in Luoyang are even more beautiful.

Since Wu Zetian, Luoyang has another name, called Shendu.

Jiang Dazhi led the stupid cow and the dog baby, trekked all the way from the Shaolin Temple, and finally arrived in Luoyang, the capital of the gods, in the evening.

Entering Luoyang City, it was getting late, but the whole Luoyang City was brightly lit, and people came and went on the streets, and there was a prosperous scene everywhere.

Walking on the streets of Luoyang City, Jiang Dazhi was greatly taken aback, and thought: "The prosperity of Luoyang City is no less than that of modern Shanghai!" ”

"Stupid cow, dog baby, let's finally enter the city, tonight, big brother will take you to have a good time." Jiang Dazhi said excitedly immediately.

When the stupid cow and the dog baby heard Jiang Dazhi's words, their faces were full of excitement.

Stupid cows and dogs are hard-working people, where have they ever seen such a prosperous city, they are really dumbfounded.

"Big brother, stupid cow listen to you."

"Big brother, my stomach is drumming, let's find a place to eat first!" The dog baby said on the horse, holding her stomach.

"Look at the dog's life, are you afraid that you won't have anything to eat when you get to the big city? Big brother will take you to open your eyes today. Jiang Dazhi said with a full face, one, this, reading, and the novel xstxt.

At this moment, Jiang Dazhi saw a man and a rider passing by him, but he saw that the person on the horse was in an outstanding manner, with a long sword hanging from his waist, holding the reins in one hand, holding a wine jug in the other, and chanting words in his mouth.

Jiang Dazhi listened quietly, and only heard one sentence clearly: "Every three years, all countries will go to Heluo." hurriedly chased after him and said, "This brother, what a sentence about all countries going to Heluo!" Looking at the scenery of Luoyang City, it is definitely worthy of all countries to come to court. ”

Immediately, when the man saw Jiang Dazhi talking, he glanced back at him and said, "Luoyang City is indeed beautiful, but everyone is drunk and I am sober!" ”

"Why did Brother Tai express such emotion? The younger brother dares to ask the high surname of Brother Tai? ”

"Drunkard Li Bai."

When Jiang Dazhi heard that this person's name was Li Bai, he was very excited, and thought: "When I was in school, I memorized Li Bai's poems every day, I don't want to, I can meet him tonight, it's so interesting to come to Datang." ”

"Brother Tai is the great poet Li Bai! I have admired the name for a long time, and meeting us today is really a blessing for three lives! ”

"The prodigal son, the drunkard, is not worth mentioning."

"The younger brother has admired Brother Li's name for a long time, and I am fortunate to see it today, and I want to invite Brother Li to enjoy his face and go to have a glass of wine together."

"Dare to ask the daimyo of Brother Tai?"

"Little brother Fan Yangjiang is ambitious."

"Brother Jiang, why do you have to invite Taibai to drink?"

When Jiang Dazhi heard Li Bai's words, he thought to himself: "When I was in school, the teacher said, you are a poet fairy, a wine fairy, and write poems, Lao Tzu admits that you are not your opponent, but this drinking, you can still give it a try." ”

"I have long heard that Brother Li is known as a poet fairy and a wine fairy, and the younger brother is not talented in writing poetry, so he dares to compete with Brother Li for a drink."

When Li Bai heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "The wine fairy doesn't dare to be a drunkard, so he can only be worthy of this drunkard." Even if Brother Jiang is so Yaxing, Taibai is better than respectful. ”

"Okay, Brother Li, my younger brother is coming to Luoyang for the first time this time, I don't know where to drink best?"

"Taibai is also the first to Luoyang, but I heard a friend say that the most famous restaurant in Luoyang City is the Luoshen Building by the Luohe River."

"Luo Shen Lou, is it related to Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu"?"

That's right, according to legend, Cao Zijian fell in love with this beauty, but unfortunately he was robbed by his brother. In order to solve the pain of lovesickness, Cao Zijian built this building by the Luo River, and wrote "Luo Shen Fu", and also hung the portrait of Luo Shen on the third floor of the Luo Shen Building. ”

"Sounds good, Brother Li, I'll let you lead the way."

"Okay."

After Li Bai said this, he patted the horse and walked towards the Luo River.

Jiang Dazhi and the others followed Li Bai and also rushed towards the Luo River.

After looking for it, Li Bai, Jiang Dazhi and others also rushed to Luoshen Tower.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the Roselle Tower, the guys in the store came out to help them lead the horses.

Jiang Dazhi and the others followed Li Bai into the Luoshen Tower, and a guy greeted him.

The guy said, "The lobby on the first floor is full, and there are a few private rooms on the second floor. ”

"Isn't there a third floor? We're going to the third floor. Jiang Dazhi said loudly.

The guy said: "This master, there is only one room on the third floor, which is the best private room in the building, and the price is very expensive. ”

"Money is not an issue."

"This master, it's really not a coincidence, the seat on the third floor tonight was booked by the son of the richest man in Luoyang City."

"Then you just said that you ordered it? Look, Uncle Ben has no money or what? ”

"I'm really sorry, this man."

"Do you know who this is? Shixian Li Bai Uncle Li, you are really blind. Jiang Dazhi pointed at Li Bai and said angrily.

The guy said, "Yes, yes, yes・・・・・・"

This guy said yes again and again, and was scolded by Jiang Dazhi for being a bloody dog.

"Brother Li, it seems that I can only go to the third floor next time to see the portrait of Luoshen, and tonight I will be in the private room on the second floor, Brother Li, what do you think?"

"It's really a pity, but the private room on the second floor is also good, Brother Jiang, please."

"Brother Li, please."

The guy took Jiang Dazhi and the others and Li Bai to the private room on the second floor, and everyone sat down one by one.

"Bring all the good wine and food you have here." Jiang Dazhi said loudly, thinking: "I ordered a dish at Luliang Restaurant, and I almost didn't get angry to death, so I just asked them to go on their own, so it would save more trouble." ”

Jiang Dazhi introduced the stupid cow and the dog baby to Li Bai, and just after the introduction, he saw a middle-aged woman walk in.

The middle-aged woman said: "Ladies and gentlemen, there are beautiful girls in this restaurant to accompany the uncles to drink and have fun. ”

When Jiang Dazhi heard this middle-aged woman's words, he immediately glanced at Li Bai, saw that he didn't have any reaction, and thought, "What does this Li Bai mean?" ”

"Is it just drinking for fun?" Jiang Dazhi asked.

"It's just drinking for fun, only selling art, not selling yourself."

"Then call your top girl."

"Hey, this master, the top girl is only on the third floor, not on the second floor."

"What do you mean? Uncle, I originally wanted to go to the third floor, but as a result, your third floor was booked, I have nothing to say, now the guests on the third floor have not come, you tell her to come down, and the lord will pay the money on the third floor. ”

"The top peony girl in our store, she also has to look at people, she must be a local celebrity, otherwise, she will not meet if she has money."

When Jiang Dazhi heard this, he immediately slapped the table and said, "Do you know this master?" Shixian Li Bai, you go and ask Miss Peony now, what is her opinion? ”

Seeing Jiang Dazhi being so angry, this middle-aged woman walked out with a smile.

Li Bai said: "Brother Jiang, drinking only cares about the good wine, and everything else is not important. ”

Jiang Dazhi said with a smile: "Brother Li, you are the guest of honor of the junior brother, and the junior brother must entertain you well." ”

After a few minutes, the middle-aged woman walked in and said, "A few masters, Miss Peony heard that Uncle Li has arrived, and she is willing to come down to perform a song." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Dazhi's heart was really happy, and he thought: "Is this Li Bai still very famous!" ”

"Then call it." Jiang Dazhi said lightly.

When the middle-aged woman heard Jiang Dazhi's words, she walked out happily again.

It didn't take long for six women to come in, all of them were wearing heavy makeup, all of them were wide and fat, and none of them could get into Jiang Dazhi's eyes.

Jiang Dazhi was not in the mood to see these beauties, and immediately glanced at Li Bai, the stupid cow, and the dog baby, but saw that Li Bai's expression was flat, obviously he had been trained for a long time; The stupid cow and the dog baby had already widened their eyes, and it was estimated that they were already drooling.

Jiang Dazhi saw this scene and thought: "These women are extremely ugly in my opinion, so they must be beautiful in their eyes, today, let my brothers enjoy a good time." ”

It didn't take long for another woman to walk in, wearing a long pink dress, her figure was not much different from the six women who came in front, but her face was much more delicate.

Jiang Dazhi took a closer look at this girl and found that her eyes were really good-looking, as long as she looked at you, it was like being able to hook your soul away.

The middle-aged woman also walked in and said, "This is the peony girl." As she spoke, the middle-aged woman pointed to the girl in the pink dress who came in behind her.

After introducing the peony girl, the middle-aged woman continued: "Next, our store has arranged a program for several masters, and invite several masters to watch while drinking." ”

After saying this, the middle-aged woman immediately walked out.

The peony girl saluted Jiang Dazhi, Li Bai and others, and then began to play the piano, and the other six women danced.

With such an ugly person dancing, Jiang Dazhi really didn't have much interest in watching it.

However, Li Bai didn't look at it much, just took a few more glances at the peony girl.

Jiang Dazhi was very happy to see everyone, and immediately raised his wine glass and said, "Come, Brother Li, junior brother will give you a glass." ”

Li Bai also raised his wine glass, and as soon as he clinked glasses with Jiang Dazhi, the two of them drank it all.

As soon as Jiang Dazhi's wine glass was put down, he heard a "bang", the door was kicked open, and he saw five people rushing in, led by a man with stubby limbs and a very fat body, which looked very funny.

When the girls saw a few people rushing in, they all stopped, and the expressions on their faces were very surprised.

The man at the head walked directly to the Peony Girl's side and kicked the Peony Girl's piano over.

When the peony girl saw this person, her face was full of fear.

Jiang Dazhi and the others also all stood up.

Jiang Dazhi said angrily: "You guys are impatient, don't you, do you know who the uncle is?" ”

After Jiang Dazhi said this, he felt that his lungs were about to explode, and his eyes were really wide open, his eyes were originally very small, and now, it can be imagined that his expression must be very funny.

The man at the head said: "I think you are tired of life, do you know who I am, uncle?" ”

As soon as Jiang Dazhi heard this, where could he still hold it, walked directly to this person's side, and slapped him in the chest quickly, this person was really fat, he couldn't feel the existence of bones in this person.

This person's body was too fat to dodge, and he fell directly to the ground, and the four people behind him wanted to rush up, Jiang Dazhi instantly pulled out the dagger he was wearing, and said, "Whoever dares to touch the uncle will kill him." ”

Jiang Dazhi squatted down and pointed a dagger at the man's neck.

At this time, the middle-aged woman walked in and said in surprise: "This lord, don't mess around, he is Ling Huba, the son of Ling Huchun, the richest man in Luoyang." ”

"Even if it is the emperor's son, he has to kneel down and kowtow to the master today, otherwise, the uncle will end his life." Jiang Dazhi said angrily.

Ling Huba also said arrogantly: "If you dare to touch me, you don't want to get out of this Luoyang City." ”

"If you don't kowtow today, see if you can get out of this room?"

When Jiang Dazhi said this, seeing that Ling Huba was still indifferent, he gently slashed his neck with a dagger, and the blood slowly flowed out, causing Linghu Ba to immediately scream.

"Kowtow not kowtow."

"Hero, I kowtow."

When Jiang Dazhi heard Ling Huba's words, he immediately took the dagger away.

I saw Ling Huba get up, then kneel on the ground and start kowtowing.

Jiang Dazhi saw Ling Huba start kowtowing, so he laughed on the side, thinking: "This person is the son of the richest man in Luoyang, he must have a certain strength, and now, his anger is out, and he must leave here quickly." ”

Thinking of this, Jiang Dazhi immediately threw down a handful of silver and said, "Brother Li, I'm afraid I can't drink this wine tonight, let's go." ”

Li Bai nodded, and followed Jiang Dazhi, Benniu, and Dog Wa out of Luoshen Tower quickly, and asked the guys to lead their horses, and everyone quickly turned over and got on their horses and ran towards the alleys of Luoyang City.

Li Bai said: "Brother Jiang, let's just leave, Linghu Ba will definitely not let go of the peony girl, and she must be rescued." ”

Jiang Dazhi thought carefully about what Li Bai said, and felt that there was some truth in it.

"The little brother's light merit is high, the little brother goes to save the peony girl, Brother Li, you hide in this corner first, it's late tonight, the city gate must be closed, you can only go out of the city early tomorrow morning, the little brother is afraid that this Ling Huchun is strong, and the time will definitely let the officers and soldiers search the city, you must not come out." Jiang Dazhi said instructively.

"Big brother, the stupid cow is going with you to save people, and the dog baby and Uncle Li are hiding here for the time being."

"No, my light skills are high and my speed is fast, but you have become a burden when you go."

Jiang Dazhi insisted on asking them to hide here, but they couldn't say that Jiang Dazhi had to hide in this corner obediently.

Jiang Dazhi rode back to the Luoshen Tower, saw that the door of the Luoshen Tower had been closed, and thought, "How can this be?" It was still a place of singing and dancing just now, why did it close all of a sudden? ”

Jiang Dazhi didn't think about it, he immediately turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and kicked the door open, and saw that there was no one in the building.

Jiang Dazhi walked directly to the second floor, came to the room where he had just eaten, pushed open the door, and saw the peony girl lying in a pool of blood, his heart was as painful as if he had been pricked by a needle, his eyes were full of tears, and he thought: "Although it is the first time I have seen the peony girl, she died because of me after all." ”

Thinking of this, Jiang Dazhi felt deep self-blame, and he raised his head and let out a long howl.

At this moment, Jiang Dazhi heard a voice from outside and said, "Don't run away with the murderer, hurry up and fence the building." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was the footsteps of a large group of people, as if they surrounded the Roselle Tower.

Jiang Dazhi thought to himself: "This Linghu Ba is really ruthless, he killed someone, and blamed Lao Tzu on his head, this account, Lao Tzu must find him to settle it clearly." ”

Jiang Dazhi looked at the corpse of the peony girl and thought, "I was still a living person just now, but unexpectedly, I died after a while." ”

Thinking of this, Jiang Dazhi once again fell into deep self-blame.

However, Jiang Dazhi knew that the officers and soldiers outside had rushed into the Luoshen Tower, and he had to leave immediately.

Jiang Dazhi picked up the peony girl's piano, launched his peerless light skill "Wind Speed", and rushed out of Luoshen Tower like the wind.

The officers and soldiers outside saw a figure and said loudly: "Don't run away with the murderer, chase after you." ”

Where did these officers and men chase after the great ambition of Shangjiang?

After running for a while, Jiang Dazhi stopped, fell into deep thought, and thought: "Do you want to go to Linghu Ba for revenge?" ”

Thinking of this, Jiang Dazhi recalled what Jiang Youcai said to him when he went out: "You must endure in case of trouble." I thought, "Why didn't Lao Tzu know to endure it at that time?" ”

At this moment, Jiang Dazhi's heart was very entangled, thinking: "Now that he has lost one life, and Lao Tzu is going to end up with another life, is it right or wrong for Lao Tzu to do this?" ”
