Volume 1 The Phoenix Bird Returns to the Dust and the World Changes Chapter 16 Dangyang Street
In the west of Yangzhou City, a horse-drawn carriage was driving rapidly on Bailong Street, and a horseman sat at the front of the carriage holding the reins and spurring the horse. The four horses were crimson, their manes were scattered like flames, their limbs were strong, and the lines of their backs were like a stream of water flowing high, and every time they landed their hooves, they were bound to burst out with a crisp sound and were full of energy.
The carriage is made of a whole piece of red apricot dragon wood from the Southern Chu Kingdom, which has many owners of red apricot dragon wood in the world, and the Southern Chu Kingdom is known as "the world's unparalleled mahogany", which can be seen.
The dragon apricot wood is flexible, from the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty three thousand years ago, the princes and generals have spent a lot of money to build precious vessels, this wood is not afraid of wind and rain and flames, can be hidden for a hundred years, such a huge exquisite carriage does not know how much gold and silver mountains have been poured in, but in terms of the wealth of the Zheng family in Yangzhou, these are not worth mentioning at all. The Tianzi pane is inlaid with pure gold wire horizontally and vertically, and there is a jade bead curtain in the pane, which wraps the spacious space in the carriage tightly.
Pedestrians on both sides of the road avoided such a behemoth, and the originally bustling and congested streets and alleys were forced to open a wide road.
"Who is the person in the carriage, so magnanimous, you look at this horse, at first glance, it is not the foal of our Yan Kingdom, but it is like the sweat and blood of the Western Regions Tuoba Country, I heard that the horse is worth a hundred taels of gold, and your life is not even a tenth of a horse!"
"Do you see who is riding the horse? The famous martial arts master of the Zheng Mansion is enough to be in the top three among all the guests, you kid had better be careful when he speaks, don't provoke right and wrong!"
"The people of the Zheng family, no wonder they are as arrogant as usual, relying on their wealth and wealth to walk sideways, it is difficult to let us people live!" The cynical young man did not deliberately lower his voice, and looked at the cowardly and obscene people around him and suddenly became indignant.
The middle-aged man wearing a hat with his head bowed all the time, making it difficult to see his face, and a gold-sheathed knife was placed on the left side of his side. Just when he passed by the unhappy young man, he raised his right hand slightly, and there was a sharp stone hidden in the palm of his hand, and with a flick of his fingers, the stone was like an arrow off the string, and the young man opened his mouth as if something had not jumped out of his throat, everything was only in the electric light, and the little girl near him looked innocently at the young man who was a little out of order.
After the carriage had passed ten paces away, the young man did not move at all, when the little girl covered her mouth and screamed in dismay.
"Mother, you see that brother's head is bleeding!"
When everyone came back to their senses, suddenly a mouthful of blood mist erupted from the man's mouth, and the man collapsed straight to the ground, his eyes already gray.
The outside of the carriage was suddenly boiling, and the inside of the carriage was equally lively.
A bloated young man is holding a beautiful woman with a bewitching posture and exotic style in his left and right hands, the man is wearing a dark red white tiger coat, and the big jacket is also covered with crocodile bronze armor, his face is piled up with horizontal meat, and the top of his head is tied with the blue water of the East China Sea, which is shining, and there is a scar about an inch and a half long under his left eye that is particularly shocking.
"That old immortal always looks at me unpleasantly, and he looks for me in a bad way, if he hadn't looked at him as my elder, Lao Tzu would have stabbed him with a knife!" The bloated man spat viciously, opened the curtain with the back of his hand and glanced contemptuously out of the window, and immediately ignored the panic of ordinary people.
"Why should the young master care about Marquis Zheng's angry words, he is just old and confused, why do you care about him as a junior, his endless family wealth in the future is not in your pocket, you are the master of the family, and he will not take the initiative to attach himself to you at that time. ”
The demon woman on the left has a wide awl face at the top and narrow at the bottom, the watery Danfeng eyes are slightly raised to a corner, like a red stamen in spring, and under the small and delicate nose bridge is a delicate little fat lip.
"The house is full of stupid things, or Qiu'er speaks nicely and is likable. ”
"The one who knows me is none other than Qiu'er, hearing Qiu'er's crisp voice is like a fairy qule is troubled, and I can't care about it......" The man with the scar plunged into Yiren's chest greedily sniffing the fragrance that made him fascinated, and the slap firmly pinched the woman's slender waist, and suddenly pulled it violently on his body, and the foxy woman who called Qiu'er blushed and trembled for a while.
"Young master, you tap it, hurt the slave maid......"
"Okay, good, look at my pity ......"
......
The middle-aged man who set up the car didn't care about any noise in the carriage, and he always maintained a straight waist posture from the beginning to the present, with no expression on his face, only a pair of cold pupils to observe the movements around him.
Like a stinging beast lying in wait.
When the carriage arrived at Dangyang Street, there was a young girl in the middle of the road in front of her supporting her elderly grandmother slowly walking through the road, probably the carriage of the Zheng Mansion was menacing, and the girl didn't have time to react, only to see the red colt that was taller than ordinary men and wanted to step in front of the two.
"Ah!" exclaimed the girl, hiding her face, and in her desperation she shielded the old man with her thin body.
Unexpectedly, the four good horses suddenly changed their direction and rushed towards the store on the side of the road, a strange scene that the swordsman did not expect.
"Phew, hoo, hoo!" the carriage was so fast that it was about to crash into the closed store.
"Stop, young master, be careful!" the middle-aged man snorted violently, and the four good horses were forcibly strangled by a terrifying force, and the speeding carriage came to a complete standstill in a few blinks of an eye.
"Who killed a thousand knives! I want to murder Lao Tzu! I'm tired and crooked!" The bloated man almost touched the ground with his face on the ground, his arms stabilized his unbalanced figure, and he rushed out of the carriage with a dark face.
"What the hell is going on! Can you drive? I almost fell to my death!"
"Please atone for your sins, young master! Just now the carriage got out of control, and then rushed to the store on the side of the street. The swordsman lowered his head and didn't look at Zheng Yunxiao.
"Damn, I have long said that these wild horses are disobedient, and this time I will kill them all and stew soup, so as not to take the opportunity to murder Lao Tzu in the future. ”
"As the young master said, I will do it after returning home. ”
"Where are you now?" Zheng Yunxiao extinguished his anger and looked around, the pedestrians and people on the street bowed their heads and walked away, no one dared to look at him, for fear that this demon king of the mixed world would be unhappy and take it to dissipate his anger.
"Dangyang Street. The hat swordsman silently followed behind Zheng Yunxiao, and the big hat covered his face, so that people could not see his face.
"Well, forget it, it's okay if you can't walk around the street in a carriage, it just so happens that I've been eating too much lately, and I have to digest it. ”
When the group walked to the corner of the street, a group of people caught a glimpse of them, and the Taoist raised his head and looked at it casually a few times, and then lowered his head to continue to tell the hexagram.
The Taoist who told the fortune was Wang Yin of the White Dragon Temple in Xichuan, and at this moment Wang Yin still set up his Taoist stall to tell the fortune for the travelers.
The charming and charming woman named Qiu'er beside Zheng Yunxiao obviously felt the gaze of the person and looked back at the past.
The crooked eye sockets and the crystal bright pupils seem to carry a smile, but this smile seems to be provocative and sarcastic.
The Taoist looked at him in four directions, and a golden thread flashed in his pupils, as thin as a hair, but this extremely faint golden thread had a faint burning sensation for the demonic woman.
"Thief. The demonic woman's mouth moved slightly, but she didn't speak.
The Taoist didn't seem to hear the woman's spoken words, and bowed his head calmly.
The Taoist said silently: "Heaven is clear, and retribution is unpleasant." After all, no one can escape this heavenly way, hey. ”
Zheng Yunxiao and his entourage soon swept past the Taoist's stall, the charming woman never looked back, and the Taoist looked serious and prayed for the customers in front of him, without disturbing each other.
At this time, Lu Jingyuan and Ziling were walking from the other end of Dangyang Street, and the two were talking and laughing all the way, and they couldn't see that it was the relationship between master and servant.
Ziling walked in front, walked to a lantern stall and suddenly stopped, staring at the carp lantern on the wooden table with a happy face.
"Do you want it?" Lu Jingyuan also saw the colorful lantern.
"Can Childe buy it for me?"
"Of course. Lu Jingyuan lowered his head and took out the money in his arms.
"Young master, the slave maid wants this lantern!" a soft voice sounded in the ears of the two.
Lu Jingyuan looked up, it turned out to be Zheng Yunxiao and his two concubines, Lu Jingyuan couldn't help frowning, how could he meet this person anywhere.
"Boss, I want this carp lantern. Lu Jingyuan handed the silver to the vendor.
"Young master, I have taken a fancy to this lantern, I can't let others snatch it!" The beautiful woman accompanying Zheng Yunxiao on the right side was crying, her mouth was pursed, and her spring-like eyes wanted to cry.
"I've taken a fancy to this thing, I'll give you ten taels of silver! Don't look for it!" Zheng Yunxiao said to the peddler in a non-obstinate tone.
"But this young master, this lantern has already been sold!" Two famous uncles in Yangzhou came in a row, and the hawkers' tears were about to come out.
"I don't care, no one can take it away if Lao Tzu likes it!" Zheng Yunxiao spoke to the vendor, but looked at Lu Jingyuan with a playful expression.
"Looks like I can't take this lantern today?" Ziling was just about to speak, but Lu Jingyuan pulled her behind him and looked at Zheng Yunxiao with an indifferent expression.
Zheng Yunxiao's gaze wandered around Ziling's graceful posture unscrupulously, especially when he looked at Ziling's fair and pretty face, the flames in his heart were swaying, sure enough, the home was not as good as the outside, and the outside was not as good as others.
"Second Prince Lu really wants this lantern?" Zheng Yunxiao slowly retracted his gaze.
"Shouldn't I have it first?"
"It seems that the young master of the Zheng family has always been arrogant and domineering in Yangzhou, and today he actually wants to compete with me for small things. ”
"Whoever has power is whoever has the power is whoever. Zheng Yunxiao gently pinched the waist drum of the beautiful woman on the right.
"Hehe, what if I don't give it to you today?"
"Then, if you can't talk, let's fight?"
