Chapter 53: The Phoenix Tower Turmoil

Phoenix Tower is located in the west of Luoyang City and is a three-storey restaurant. The appearance is simple and atmospheric, and the decoration inside is more splendid, and it can be said that the decoration level that can be reflected in the era of the Eastern Han Dynasty is perfectly reflected in the Phoenix Building. The people who come to the Phoenix Tower for dinner and entertain guests are either dignitaries or wealthy businessmen. Not to mention civilians, even middle- and lower-level officials with slightly lower status will rarely come to Phoenix Tower to squander once. Therefore, the Phoenix Tower is a place where dignitaries gather in Luoyang City. And those who can become the VIPs of the Phoenix Tower must be extremely noble people.

Yuan Shao is one of the VIPs of the Phoenix Tower, not that his official position is high, but that he has a good family background. The Yuan family, the fourth and third dukes, will of course become the guests of honor in the Phoenix Tower.

Greeting Ao Lie and Cao Cao warmly, Yuan Shao invited the two into the Phoenix Tower, and took the two to a private room near the window on the second floor. While walking, Yuan Shao said: "This Phoenix Tower, according to legend, is the private property of Emperor Guangwu to an uncle, from the time of Emperor Guangwu, it is a place where dignitaries and dignitaries gather. Come, please come in, this private room is called Phoenix Wing, and it is one of the rooms that our Yuan family has been chartered for a long time. ”

"One of them? Could it be that the Yuan family has another private room? Ao Lie asked in surprise. Being able to charter a private room in a hotel of such a scale for a long time shows the strength of the Yuan family, but Ao Lie didn't expect that the Yuan family still had spare strength, and this room was not the only room that the Yuan family had chartered in the Phoenix Building.

Yuan Shao had a hint of pride on his face, and said with a smile: "Ao Huwei is right, our Yuan family has a total of three private rooms in the Phoenix Building, namely Feng Ling on the top floor, and Phoenix Wing and Feng Yu on the second floor. ”

Ao Lie and Cao Cao both understood, glanced at each other, and couldn't help but secretly admire the strength and financial resources of the Yuan family. After entering the room, Ao Lie saw Yuan Shu sitting in the banquet, in addition to him, there were several young people in their twenties, but he didn't know any of them.

After everyone sat down, Yuan Shao began to introduce: "Everyone, this is General Huwei and General Hou Ao of the Northern Earthquake, and the other one must be known to everyone, Cao Mengde, the captain of the military academy. The young men bowed one after another, and one of them was a young man under the age of 20 who said with a smile: "I have heard the name of Ao Huwei for a long time, and I can see it today, and I am fortunate to have three lives!" ”

Ao Lie hurriedly returned the salute. Yuan Shao pointed to the person who spoke just now and introduced: "This is Zhang Ji Zhang Derong, temporarily serving as filial piety." After a pause, Yuan Shao introduced them one by one: "This is Chen Qun Chen Changwen, the son of Chen Shizhong; This is Wang Xiu and Wang Shuzhi, both filial piety. ”

After Yuan Shao introduced the three of them, he pointed to Yuan Shu who was sitting beside him, and said with a smile: "My brother Highway, everyone must have known each other for a long time. Today's banquet, I have no other intentions, I just hope that you will come and return happy. ”

Cao Cao picked up the wine glass and toasted everyone present, and secretly touched Ao Lie lightly with his toes, meaning that Ao Lie would also raise his glass and toast. Ao Lie glanced at the expressionless Yuan Shu, and secretly pursed his lips, he didn't want to raise a glass, but he was in the way of Yuan Shao and the others, hesitated for a moment, and raised his glass with a smile. He didn't want to leave a bad impression on Zhang Ji and Chen Qun, these two would be famous talents in the future, and if the opportunity was right, Ao Lie would want to pull them down to his camp.

Seeing Ao Lie raise his glass, Cao Cao nodded slightly in his heart, admiring Ao Lie's broad-mindedness in his heart, he couldn't help but pay more attention to it, or rather, he was jealous, a person like Ao Lie, if he became a friend, it would be a very happy thing, but once he became an enemy, it would definitely be a headache.

Cao Cao and Ao Lie raised their glasses to toast one after another, and everyone present raised their glasses to celebrate, but only one person remained motionless with a straight face. Yuan Shao touched Yuan Shu's arm quietly, and said in a low voice: "Highway, raise a glass." Yuan Shu heard Yuan Shao's hint, and his heart was even more dissatisfied: Hmph, you are a concubine of a family, but you were born a few days earlier than me, why did you point fingers at me?

Yuan Shu not only did not raise his glass, but snorted coldly: "Is the eldest brother pulling me here today just to drink with these people who sell their fame and reputation?" The little brother still has important things to do, say goodbye! After speaking, Yuan Shu stood up and made a gesture to walk out.

"Wait!" Without waiting for others to speak, Ao Lie first shouted Yuan Shu: "Dare to ask Brother Highway, what is a person who sells fame and reputation?" I waited for the battlefield to defend the country, I don't know how much blood was shed, how much sweat was shed, how did it get to the mouth of the highway brother, it was so unbearable? "Ao Lie's purpose of being a man has always adhered to the habits of later generations, which can be roughly summed up in eight words: people don't offend me, I don't offend people!

Hearing Ao Lie's questioning, the Yuan brothers sank their faces at the same time, Yuan Shu was angry because of Ao Lie's questioning, and Yuan Shao was angry because of Yuan Shu's rudeness. Yuan Shao hurriedly stopped Yuan Shu: "Highway!" How can you be so rude to Ao Huwei! ”

Yuan Shu snorted coldly again: "Rude? Hmph, who is rude to whom? Yesterday, a certain kindly went to give him a congratulatory gift, but how did he treat so-and-so? I figured it out today, I know that I don't want to mess with it, and I came to please you, hum, I don't want to eat this! I have to say that Yuan Shu's words shocked all the people present. Yuan Shu is really a strange flower, and it would be an understatement to say that he is arrogant to the level of idiocy. Yesterday Yuan Shu went to Cai's mansion to send a congratulatory gift to Ao Lie, but he was forced by Yuan Kui to go, Yuan Kui held his own identity, and because he was disgraced by Ao Lie's Qinyuan Spring-Snow above the court, so it was not good to send a congratulatory gift to Ao Lie, so he asked his son Yuan Shu to go on his behalf, who thought that Yuan Shu was spoiled by Yuan Kui, and he could not tolerate people with more ability than himself in his eyes, and he inherited Yuan Kui's narrow-minded virtue, and it was very unpleasant to see Ao Lie, and saw that Ao Lie did not hurry up to greet himself, but went to greet Cao Cao after a eunuch, made his heart fire namelessly, and mocked Ao Lie and Cao Cao a few words. Some people are like this, if there is a problem, they will never find fault in themselves, but think that everything they do is right, and once someone disagrees with them, then it must be wrong.

Everyone present looked at Yuan Shu with idiot eyes, if it weren't for the background of Yuan Shu's fourth and third dukes, I'm afraid some people would have laughed out loud. Yuan Shao was embarrassed, he didn't expect his kindness, he originally wanted Yuan Shu to reconcile with Ao Lie Cao Cao, but now it has made it worse.

With a sinking face, Yuan Shao angrily reprimanded: "Highway, you are simply talking wildly!" Don't hurry up and apologize to Ao Huwei! Yuan Shu glanced at Yuan Shao coldly, and a sentence popped out from between his teeth: "Yuan Benchu!" Who do you think you are? You're just a bastard, if you weren't a few years older than that, how could you speak here today? I don't know what to say! ”

After speaking, Yuan Shu didn't bother to care about Yuan Shao's reaction, and directly flicked his sleeves and walked out of the room.

It seems that the rumors are true, although the Yuan family is the fourth and third dukes, the relationship between the children is not harmonious, and half of the Tai are all wine bags and rice bags.

After a while, Yuan Shao's face softened, and he said: "This, the highway has been spoiled in the family, and I hope you will forgive me." Well, let's leave it alone, come and come, drink, eat! ”

After Yuan Shao's self-exculpation, the rest of the people didn't mention the unhappy things, and raised their glasses to toast each other. This meal has been eaten for nearly an hour, and just when Ao Lie is overwhelmed by alcohol, an angry shout sounded downstairs: "Bold thief! In broad daylight, he dared to flirt with a woman from a good family! ”

Ao Lie heard this, and with his years of experience in practicing martial arts in his previous life and present life, he judged that the person who shouted was full of energy, obviously his martial arts were not weak, and he might even have a secret method of refining the body. This made Ao Lie very curious, looking at that time, in addition to his own method of refining the body, only a few people who were close to him, such as Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Xia Houlan, etc., learned the method of refining the body from himself, but listening to the voice just now, it seemed very unfamiliar, obviously it would not be the above-mentioned people, so who else would be the method of refining the body? Did you understand it by mistake, or did you have another teacher? Or is it because you feel wrong?

With curiosity, Ao Lie walked to the window and looked down, but it didn't matter what he saw, and Ao Lie was immediately angry! With a loud shout, he kicked the window lattice of the room and jumped from the second floor to the hall on the first floor.

Cause? Because Ao Lie saw Cai Yan in front of the window! Cai Yan, under the protection of the three elites of the blood killing camp, was confronting a gorgeously dressed child of a family, and there were more than 20 thugs standing behind the child of the family, which seemed to be unfavorable to Cai Yan. Beside an elite of the Blood Killing Battalion, there was also a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy standing, and behind this young man was a twenty-three or four-year-old man and a slightly younger boy.

Ao Lie strode up to Cai Yan's side, with a hint of anger in his tone: "It's okay, right?" But someone is rude to you? Cai Yan shook his head slightly, but the two pearl-like tears slipped down silently.

The three elites of the Blood Killing Battalion knelt on the ground at the same time: "Lord Lord, it is not good for us to protect the master mother, it is a capital crime!" Ao Lie suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a kind tone as much as possible: "Get up, tell me what is going on." An elite of the blood killing camp stood up, walked to Ao Lie's side, and whispered: "Today, the master mother received a report in the house, saying that the lord was drunk in the Phoenix Building, and the master mother couldn't rest assured, so she led me to wait to pick up the lord and go back to the house. As he spoke, he still wanted the eighteen- or nineteen-year-old burly boy in front of Cai Yan to point out.

Ao Lie nodded, and then asked, "Why didn't Zilong follow?" The elite replied: "Coincidentally, General Zhao received a letter saying that an old man was waiting in the pavilion ten miles outside Luoyang City, and not long after the lord left the mansion, General Zhao also left the mansion. ”

Well? Ao Lie suddenly felt that something was wrong, how could it be so coincidental? And I haven't heard of it, what kind of old people does Zhao Yun have in Luoyang? If you want to say that Zhao Yun has any conspiracy, Ao Lie can't believe it, then the only explanation is that everything today is a conspiracy planned by someone.

Anyway, let's solve the problem at hand first. Ao Lie turned his head and thanked the young man who made a righteous move: "Thank you Gongzi for your help before, I am very grateful." The young man saw that Ao Lie's bearing was extraordinary, he was stunned for a moment, and then bowed his hand and saluted back: "It's a trivial matter, it's not enough to worry about, but it just frightened Mrs. Zun." ”

Speaking of Cai Yan, Ao Lie's face once again showed a look of anger, and he said to the young man: "Childe's help, I will thank you later, let me solve the clown in front of me first." ”

Turning his head to look at the dozens of people opposite, Ao Lie asked coldly at the leading playboy, "Are you being rude to a certain wife?" ”

The playboy was startled by Ao Lie's cold tone, and hurriedly took two steps back, then felt inappropriate, and took three steps forward again, looking like no one in his eyes, and said proudly with his neck pulled: "Boy, do you know who this son is?" Tell you, this son is the descendant of General Wei Qing, the founding general, the eldest son of Chen Liuwei, Wei Zhen is also! Acquaintances hurry up and get out of the way, this son wants to whisper to the little lady behind you. ”

When the more than 20 thugs and servants behind Wei Zhen heard this, they all laughed.

Ao Lie laughed angrily: "In Luoyang City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how dare you be so presumptuous? Even your father Weizi is just Chen Liu's filial piety! ”

Wei Zhen Ha Da smiled and said, "At the feet of the Son of Heaven? When today's son is mediocre, this country will belong to the general sooner or later, let me tell you, this son is the money bag of General He, who dares to be rude to this son? ”

Hearing Wei Zhen's blatant contempt for the present day, Ao Lie and the young man beside him shouted angrily at the same time: "Presumptuous! Then the two of them pounced on Wei Zhen at the same time as if they had discussed it. The speed of the two of them was so fast that they even left an afterimage in the air. After all, Ao Lie has the accumulation of past and present lives, and his martial arts are higher, so he pounced in front of Wei Zhen first, and punched Wei Zhen in the face, this punch was Ao Lie's angry blow, and the force was extremely great, and he directly knocked Wei Zhen into the air, spurted a mouthful of blood in the air, spit out three big teeth, and then fell headlong into the hands of a group of thugs, and fell to the ground.

The young man who shot with Ao Lie didn't expect Ao Lie's speed to be so fast, and couldn't help but glance at Ao Lie in surprise. Just saw Ao Lie's gaze also cast over, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then each staggered, like a hungry tiger pounced on the thugs brought by Wei Zhen to kill, the two fists to the flesh, and the thugs who beat cried and shouted for their mothers, grinning their teeth, and fell to the ground in pain one after another, like boiled prawns.
