On the second day, Pei Chunyan left the Lu Mansion early on the grounds that there was still something important, although Lu Jingyuan was a little surprised and reluctant, he still let her go, looking at the heroic and slender figure, he looked at it a few more times, and finally sighed and returned to the mansion.

The servant of the Su Yu Mansion handed Lu Jingyuan an invitation, which was a night banquet party organized by the "Linglong Pagoda", one of the three famous buildings in Yangzhou.

Although "Linglong Pagoda" is one of the three famous buildings in Yangzhou, it is far superior to "Hanhai Mingchen" and "Fuhuan" in status, and the people invited to the annual gathering of this Linglong Pagoda are all big people with heads and faces in the court, local powerful gentry officials, and the leading heads and elders of various sects and sects.

Located outside the northern city of Yangzhou, there is a tall building in the Slender Sheep Lake, which is not far from the lakeshore and surrounded by emerald water.

The pedestal is a rectangular golden lotus, the Qiong light is bright, the flowers bloom on eight sides, the Shu roll is all over the sky, the rosette is a lotus core seven-story tower on the top, exquisitely clear, colorful. There is an arch bridge in the middle of the lake and the building to connect the two places, the water of the thin sheep lake is rippling, there are often good birds flying, and the dragon boat and phoenix boat are moored around the week, showing the luxury.

And this tower is the "Linglong Tower".

It is not yet evening, and many people have come to this thin sheep lake, and everyone's faces are filled with excited and joyful looks, you must know that those who can participate in this "Linglong Tower" feast are all people with heads and faces in Yangzhou, even if they are under the light of a big man, even those who participate are also honored.

In a certain sandalwood purple wing room on the tower, the waiters enter and exit in order. The wing room is empty, the furnishings are low-key and luxurious, a copper finch square furnace, gently wafting smoke, warm and elegant, this smoke is not extraordinary, it is the special "ambergris" of the royal family in the capital, how can the worldly mediocre people smell a mouthful, is not the ancestor on the accumulation of merits?

"Master Hou, your guest is here. "There are servants who quietly bend down and stand next to their ears and whisper, burly people look at the railings with bold eyes, their pupils are overflowing, they are full of energy, a resolute and arrogant face is also stained with vicissitudes of life, the frontal bones are wide, the sea is open, and the majesty of the owl is not revealed.

"Marquis Zheng, the junior Bai Yu is late, and he has come to atone for your sins. "A person is dressed in a white robe and jade crown, with a dignified appearance, every step of the way, looking at his face is only twenty-six or seventeen years old, with fair and handsome appearance, upright facial features, red lips and white teeth. A pair of eyes are quite charming, clear and refined, and a pearl jade hairpin is inserted horizontally on the black hair bun, which is bright and smooth.

"It's Ben Hou who came in advance, and Bai Gongzi doesn't need to blame himself. ”

"I will say hello to the Hou Ye on behalf of the head of Qi Mang Mountain, thanks to the Hou Ye who values me Qi Mang Mountain, if the Hou Ye has instructed me Qi Mang Mountain will definitely help. Bai Yu sat on the stone bench, glanced at the fine wine on the jade table, his fingers suddenly evolved into a jade cup, the waiter humbly poured wine for him, he slowly tasted it, his eyebrows relaxed, this is good wine.

"Master Hou, I don't know what you called me over today?" Bai Yu has always had the momentum of a noble son, although he is a cultivator, he has less contact with the world before going down the mountain, but he is also well versed in the rivers and lakes and temples, and he has strong power, even Qi Mang Mountain can't avoid the dangers of this earthly rivers and lakes.

"How long has Bai Gongzi been down the mountain?" Marquis Zheng looked at the turquoise lake calmly, pinching the Qiong Yao jade cup between his fingers, and the wine was crystal clear and swaying in a spiral.

"It's been about 20 days since I returned to the Hou Ye. ”

"It's still customary to stay in Yangzhou. ”

"Everything is fine. Bai Yu glanced at Marquis Zheng out of the corner of his eye, and he couldn't guess what was going on in this person's heart.

"I remember when I was young, I roamed the rivers and lakes with your master, and now the head of Qimang Mountain, the life at that time was really comfortable, how can it be like many things are gluttonous now, there is no youthfulness at all, and everything is tied. Marquis Zheng stood inside the fence and looked into the distance.

"The master also often mentions the deeds of your youth, but the years are unforgiving, which is regrettable. ”

"If Master Hou has any troubles, he can hand it over to his little nephew to do, solve problems for Master Hou, and Bai Yu will never give up. Bai Yu's eyes lit up, and he heard the meaning of the words.

"Are you worried, but there is a matter, now that the eldest prince and the third prince are vying for power, Lu Zhan has already become the confidant of the third prince outside the court, and he always secretly opposes me when he is in the capital, so his son is now living so comfortably in Yangzhou, what do you think should be done." Marquis Zheng glanced at him.

"The little nephew understands, Hou Ye's business is Bai Yu's business, Bai Yu removes all those who have become shackles and obstacles for Hou Ye. ”

"Sure enough, he is a cultivator, he can understand it at one point, not bad. Marquis Zheng sprinkled all the wine in his hand into the lake.

"Everywhere, it's all good for Hou Ye. ”

"Hahaha, when you have time one day, it's good to go to the capital to have fun, your master always mentioned the good of the capital to me before, but it never worked. ”

"The little nephew is better to obey his fate than to be respectful, so he worshiped the Hou Ye first. ”

"Lord Wang, do you know that this thin sheep lake is rich in a kind of fish, called "phantom", this fish has colorful scales, light body, is a spiritual seed left over from ancient times, and is very valuable. ”

"Oh, and this kind of strange thing?" Marquis Zheng immediately became interested.

"But this fish is treacherous and cannot be found, and there is only one way to see it. "The white feather stands on a high hanging platform, his eyes are cold, and the emerald lake is under his feet.

"What is the method?" Marquis Zheng's eyes flashed with rainbow light.

"One Eight Treasure Immortal Fruit is enough, just like this one in my hand. After that, Bai Yu took out a treasure fruit from his arms, which was as solid as a rock and as bright as a glow, and this thing was the Eight Treasures Immortal Fruit.

Bai Yu stretched out his clenched fist on the high platform and lightly touched it.

A round of evening slowly fell into the ocean, when the water and sky were handed over, the gorgeous abnormal, the lake surface churned, the land was distorted and extended, or Yin or Jiang, the eight treasure fairy fruit was completely silent and the blue lake. Suddenly, hundreds of starlight cruised in the lower reaches of the lake, slightly dotted, rotating and floating, the local area of the blue lake was suddenly clear and transparent, coral, jellyfish, strange fish, ancient ships, as far as the eye could see, just like the Milky Way under the sea.

"This phantom fish is really not a mortal thing!" The layers of phantom fish stirred and turned into whirlpools in the blue tide, and the night sea was extremely bright.

"Woo!" suddenly burst into a scream in the sky, a three-headed divine bird spread its wings, its whole body was golden, with three heads, its beak was as sharp as an eagle, its neck was slender, and its wings were three feet long.

"What is that? Oh my God!"

"Come and see, Divine Bird!"

"Divine Bird! Divine Bird!" the tower was full of people.

"Whew!" the divine bird slammed down, burrowed into the blue tide, devoured the phantom fish, and suddenly the lake fell into chaos, a divine bird and the fish, entangled, and the god bird rushed back to the sky, and the phantom fish suddenly disappeared.

"Hou Ye, that bird just now is the natural enemy of the phantom fish from ancient times to the present!" Zheng Hou Ye was still silent in the state of affairs and failed to come back to his senses, Bai Yu exhaled lightly, and Zheng Hou Ye was instantly overjoyed.

"It's a good time, it's a good time, it's really shocking!"

"Master Hou, the spy is here to report. The attendant whispered and handed over a letter, which was the handwriting of the eldest prince.

"Haha, it's really happy! It's so happy!" Marquis Zheng only glanced at it, and then his eyebrows and eyes stretched, and others didn't know the reason, and they didn't dare to ask.

Anyway, Marquis Zheng himself knew that their business was about to be done.

An hour before the start of the night banquet, Lu Jingyuan and others had arrived at the shore of Slender Sheep Lake, looking at the hundreds of guests on the bridge platform by the lake, Lu Jingyuan was also in a good mood, Yangzhou City had not had such a grand event for a long time.

"Ziling, there are a lot of delicious and fun things tonight, are you excited?" Lu Jingyuan asked.

"Of course I'm happy, the annual Linglong Tower event is very good, I hope there will be something new this year. Ziling had a look of fascination.

"Let's go, let's cross the bridge and enter the tower. ”

"Is it Lu Ergongzi ahead?" Someone called out to him behind him, and Lu Jingyuan knew who it was when he heard the voice.

It's Zheng Yunxiao's house, which can be seen everywhere like a dog skin plaster, Lu Jingyuan scolded in his heart.

"It's really a narrow road, Young Master Zheng, I've met you like this. ”

"Hahaha, there is something in the words of the second son of Lu, I'm afraid that there is no misunderstanding of me Zheng. Zheng Yunxiao smiled, his face jumping wildly.

"I shouldn't be familiar with you Young Master Zheng. Lu Jingyuan said lightly.

"Oh, then Second Master Lu doesn't want to be friends with me, he wants to be an enemy. Zheng Yunxiao's eyes narrowed, and the entourage behind him instantly became murderous.

"What about friends, what about enemies? Why was I, Lu Jing, afraid? Lu Jingyuan's eyes were straight at the fat and wide man, and there was no fear in his eyes.

"Second Prince Lu has to remember what he said today, he regrets it in the future, but there is no regret medicine. Zheng Yunxiao slowly took a few steps forward and passed by Lu Jingyuan.

"Isn't this day always coming? a few days earlier, a few days later, there is no difference, I already know that Bai Yu was ordered by you to do the ancient temple before, since I ruined your plan, the next step is to deal with me." Lu Jingyuan's voice was not loud, but Zheng Yunxiao heard it clearly.

"Then the second son of Lu should ask for more blessings, and he should take care of his body more on a few days. ”

"Thanks for the reminder, and so do you. ”

After Zheng Yunxiao left, Lu Jingyuan stood still, and Ziling quickly approached and turned his head to see what his expression was.

"Childe, are you okay?"

"It's okay, let's go in. Looking at the splendid and extremely luxurious Linglong Tower, Lu Jingyuan took a step, and he knew that tonight would not be as comfortable as before.

However, now he has nothing to fear.
