Chapter 35 Luoyu Villa
Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoCompared to Tianchen running on the ground, the flight speed of the jasper hairpin is more than one or two times faster, but it is only an hour, and within the vision of the three of them, a brightly lit city appears.
Yuezhou was a large grain-producing state in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, located in the middle of the entire empire in the valley of the two rivers, somewhat southerly.
Because of its proximity to many vassal states in the south, it was a very prosperous state and county in terms of trade.
Although Lanhe City is not the state capital of Yuezhou, it is one of the sixteen major towns of Yuezhou because of its location and geographical convenience, and its prosperity far exceeds that of Yuezhou Prefecture.
More than 100 years ago, it was still bordered by the Song and Chen countries in the south, but there was a rebellion in the south, and several large states in the central part of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty were annexed, and Yuezhou was also among them.
The good times did not last long, since the rise of the Eastern Zhou Empire, the emperor Bauhinia, quelled the rebellion, but destroyed the Song, Chen, plus Yue and Huang kingdoms, and then recaptured Yuezhou and expanded 100,000 miles to the south.
At sunrise, in the southwest of Lanhe City, seven or eight miles outside the city, there was a manor with an area of about 100 acres.
The range of the manor is shrouded in mist, the humidity is quite heavy, and the morning sun shines on it, making the whole manor feel a little dreamy, like a fairyland.
The flow of people in the village was surging, busy non-stop, except for the guards at the door, no one paid attention, at the east gate of the manor, a few figures came out, and the three figures standing outside the door welcomed in.
At this time, the morning breeze blows away the smoke near the solemnity, and the gate of the manor slowly opens.
Naturally, it was Tianchen and his party of three people who entered Luoyu Villa, and at this moment they were being taken to a hut by their subordinates, washed their faces, changed into a set of clean clothes, and went to meet the owner of Luoyu Villa with the monk surnamed Gu.
Yunxi is the daughter of the owner, with a noble status, as soon as she enters the door, she is naturally surrounded by maidservants.
Ready for the day, he and Gu Fang came to a big house that looked like a palace.
I saw that this house is ten zhang long, three zhang wide, three zhang high, flying eaves flow tiles, red pillar top sky, it seems very atmospheric.
In the Zhengqi Hall, a middle-aged man walked back and forth in the lobby with a somewhat solemn expression.
This person's face is like a crown of jade, his eyes are bright, his waist is tied with a white phoenix jade belt, he is wearing a black brocade robe, a filial piety dress is put on the outside, and a bunch of white silk is tied on his head to show sadness.
For some reason, this person looked full of worries, a little irritable, the robe under his body fluttered without wind, and he seemed to have practiced a deep internal skill, and he had the power of the lord of a village.
"I've seen the owner."
Gu Fang took two steps forward and bowed.
"Well, it's back, uh, who is this little brother?" The middle-aged man replied a little lazily, and when he looked over, he saw Tianchen's figure, so his expression moved, and he asked in an unexpected tone.
"Oh, this is the junior of the clan that I found by chance.Gu Chen, why don't you meet Yun Tianhe, Yun Zhuang Master." Gu Fang said at the end, his voice was straight, and he gestured to Tianchen.
"Junior Gu Chen, meet the master of Yunzhuang." Tianchen clasped his hands into fists and bowed.
"It turned out to be the grandson of Gu Immortal Master, it's easy to say, this kid has a place to go now?" The middle-aged man showed a touch of joy and said calmly.
"You also know that it is not easy for me to cultivate, and it was not until my later years that I tapped this potential and extended the longevity of a hundred years. Gu Fang said eloquently, his expression was a little excited, which made people feel that every sentence was true when they saw it.
The middle-aged man's brows furrowed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Since it is the person of the Gu Immortal Master, then there is no problem, the Immortal Master can arrange it."
"Did you hear it, the owner of the village agreed, and thank you for it." Gu Fang glanced at Tianchen.
Tianchen was helpless, so he had to pretend to be flattered and kneel down to thank him.
"Alright, you go down first, someone outside will lead you to my quarters."
Gu Fang waved his hand at Tianchen and motioned for him to leave, and Tianchen quickly left the Zhengqi Hall as if he had been amnestied, and followed a girl outside to leave the place.
The middle-aged man stared at Tianchen's footsteps leaving, and after Tianchen walked away, he spoke, his voice was neither sad nor joyful, very flat.
"Gu Immortal Master, this kid has good footwork, although he didn't deliberately use it, but just a few steps, how can he hide the old man's eyesight."
"Hey, the owner's eyes are like torches, and the old servant said it truthfully." Gu Fang sighed lightly and said.
So Gu Fang met with Tianchen twice, and Tianchen took action to frighten the enemy and save Yunxi, and said that he had not missed half of the middle-aged man.
"I see, Xi'er is grateful for this kid's life-saving grace, so he made this decision.Okay, this matter is over, let's talk about something else.I, Yun Tianhe, treat you well, you have to tell the truth."
As soon as he heard that this matter was his daughter's idea from beginning to end, the middle-aged man nodded, and then his voice was cold, and there was some warning in it.
"The owner of the village wants to ask about the second lady, right?" Gu Fang was not surprised, and asked rhetorically.
The middle-aged man nodded and said nothing.
"I regret the matter of the second lady, but this matter has absolutely nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with the young lady. Gu Fang looked straight and said with an oath.
Although the spiritual cultivation in Lanhe City is rare, there are a few, but most of them are in the early and middle stages of Qi Gathering. Although it is often said that among beginner monks, spiritual cultivation is far more powerful than martial cultivation, but across a large realm, it is said that the spiritual cultivation of the Qi Gathering Period can kill a martial cultivator of the Innate Realm, I don't believe it.
The middle-aged man said the doubts in his heart in one breath, and his whole body was really angry, as if he was about to start a war if he didn't agree with him.
Moreover, now that he is in the other party's mansion, there are three hundred high-level sword and axe men in ambush outside the door, as long as the middle-aged man gives an order, no matter how great his magical power is, it will be difficult to escape.
Gu Fang sighed secretly and said slowly: "I really don't mean to harm the second lady, although I like Xi'er quite a bit on weekdays, but it's not stupid to this point.
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, but still did not let go of the slightest relaxation.
"Has the owner forgotten the new power?" Gu Fang mentioned a word.
"New forces, do you mean the Silver Light Society, which has broken through several strongholds of the Hundred Alliance?" The middle-aged man hesitated and asked.
"Exactly!" Gu Fang nodded.
"Heh, a small force, also take out the table to say things." The middle-aged man chuckled, his expression full of disdain.
According to my secret investigation, this Silver Light Society has a very deep background, and no matter how I investigate, I can't find out its origin. Gu Fang's expression sank and retorted.
"Go on!" The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly became curious.
"According to my investigation, although the number of people in the Silver Light Society is only one hundred or ten, all of them are spiritual! Gu Fang lowered his voice and slowly said something that shocked the middle-aged man.
"What? I've sent someone to investigate, so how could I not know about it!" The middle-aged man was shocked when he heard this.
What does this information in Gu Fang's mouth mean, how can he, as a hegemon, not know the importance.
"The owner doesn't believe it, it's no wonder.Originally, our spiritual cultivation was rare, and there was no one in ten thousand.
Gu Fang smiled and continued.
"Then I'll talk about the achievements of the Hundred Families Alliance and the Silver Light Society in the past six months.Half a year ago, the Silver Light Society suddenly appeared in Lanhe City and attacked the warehouse of one of their Hui League gangs.After one night, more than 80 people in this small gang were killed cleanly, and the women, children, sick and disabled were not spared. After that, the Hundred Family League sent people to investigate, but there was no clue. Five days later, suddenly another gang lost information.This gang is quite large, about five or six hundred people, and there is also a stable mansion in the cityI couldn't find out the source for several days."
"The Hundred Families Alliance was originally just a plate of scattered sand, in order to compete with my Luoyu Villa and Tongbao Money Village, this is a force that has been integrated, there are many gangs in the alliance, I have investigated, and what you said is true." The middle-aged man nodded.
"Hehe, the Hundred Family Alliance has suffered this big loss, how can it be as light as last time.So they decided to send people to teach these outsiders some lessons.Yuchai, Tooth Tiger, Huang Qiuming and others led a thousand elite gangs to the place where the outsiders were, intending to storm and give them a lesson to these guys who don't know the height of the sky. Gu Fang sighed after speaking.
"Huang Qiuming is okay, Brother Gongzi is one, Jin Yu is outside, he is ruined, and he is very soft. Why haven't Yuchai and Toothed Tiger come out? I said why haven't I seen their brothers come out to make trouble in the past few months." The middle-aged man asked with some surprise.
At this moment, he was dumbfounded, and he felt unacceptable.
Not to mention anything else, Yuchai, the toothed tiger is a well-known innate master, one is good at running thunder fist method, and the other is tiger roaring knife technique.Either of the two can directly face him and the likes of Yuntian Crane without falling behind.Now several of them have joined forces plus a thousand elites, and they have been eaten by the Silver Light Society overnight, how can this kind of combat power not shock him.
"After this battle, the Hundred Families Alliance, which was originally a little scattered, finally worked together, and after everyone's investigation, they finally learned some news.That group of people is now known as the Silver Light Society, and the number of people is about a hundred or so people.Don't look at it so little, all of them are spiritual, proficient in various spells.Yuchai They were trapped by them with a magic circle as soon as they entered, and then like a trapped beast, they killed everyone on the spot with a spell! It was a one-sided massacre, although Yuchai and the others were careless, but the strength of the monks was really not comparable to those ordinary body refiners, not to mention that they were forbidden like this, like a long-trained army, which was terrifying."
Gu Fang said this, thinking of the scene where the spell fell in the sky, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
"What about the Hundred Schools? They don't have anything to say?" The middle-aged man asked through gritted teeth.
"The top management of the Hundred Families League was also shocked when they got the news. Some of the weak gangs below wanted to quit the Hundred Leagues and secretly curry favor with the Silver Light Society.
After a few days of careful arrangement, they mobilized more than 400 high-level body refiners and more than 10 innate masters, and mobilized most of the elites of the 100 alliances and gangs.
Listening to Gu Fang's narration, the middle-aged man felt a chill in his heart, but he didn't expect that after half a year, this inexplicable hard bone had collapsed into a hundred leagues, and their strength was damaged to this point, and they couldn't shake the other party in the slightest.
The most important thing is that the two sides cover up these things so tightly, and he only heard a hint of wind after half a year.
One mountain does not tolerate two tigers!
How can the middle-aged man not know this reason, if the Hundred Family Alliance falls, then the next target of the Silver Light Society is him, or Bai Qiantong of Tongbao Qianzhuang.
At the thought of this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but shudder.
"According to my guess, this Silver Light Society should belong to a certain immortal cultivation family, they are just an external branch of it, and the goal should be to expand the family's power." Tanifang said his evaluation.
"Immortal cultivators, all of this is just your speculation, how can I be sure of the truth?" The middle-aged man's pupils shrank suddenly, and he couldn't believe what he had heard.
"In more than a month, it will be the East Street Conference held every five years, and the fate of the Hundred Schools Alliance hangs by a thread, if I am the leader of the Alliance, I will definitely take the opportunity of the conference to make some moves, and I must not only invite Bai Qiantong and the owner of the village to confront the Silver Light Society. Gu Fang said casually.
"Okay, I've written down what you said, and I'll send more people to investigate this matter carefully. The middle-aged man waved his hand, turned around and sat on the main seat, holding his forehead with his hand, looking very tired.
Gu Fang wanted to speak and stopped, but finally gave up his hand and turned to leave.
Only the middle-aged man was left in the lobby, and the sighs were endless.
Tianchen followed the maid to a private room, and when he opened the door, he felt that the incense was blowing on his face, and it smelled good.
This house is five zhang long, two zhang wide, very spacious, I see that most of the room is decorated with rosewood, which is carved out of all kinds of flowers and plants, a magnificent and peaceful.
Under the windowsill on the east side, there are some toiletries.On both sides of the south wall, there are rows of bookshelves with a wide variety of books.There is a window in the middle of the south wall.Under the window stands a simple long table, on which is placed a pair of incense burners, and the four treasures of the study.On the west side, there is a gorgeous screen, behind which there is a wide round wooden barrel, which should be used for bathing.
Although Tianchen has gone through some experience, when has he ever seen such a gorgeous residence, after all, he is still a poor boy who has never seen the world.
"If you are not satisfied, the slave can take you to the next residence."
The maid stood honestly behind Tianchen, and when she saw him look like a hillbilly entering the city, she suddenly felt a burst of amusement in her heart, and she felt contempt.
"Okay, this sister, it's good here, let's live here." Tianchen came back to his senses, and when he saw the strange appearance of the maid, he suddenly understood, and scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.
"Well, okay, I'll go and ask someone to tidy up the house, and Childe will wait a while." After the maid finished speaking, she walked low, slowly retreated, and when she reached the door, she turned and left.
After a while, the four maids came to the house for a while, and when the maids stood in front of them again, the house had been cleaned, and there was an extra quilt on the bed, and one maid was standing by the screen with a set of change of clothes, and the other two were holding tea and a spittoon, all of them stood aside and bowed their heads silently.
Tianchen looked at all this in amazement, as if in a dream.
The maid who had taken Tianchen to see the room quietly walked behind him, stretched out her white palm, and untied the yellow cloth belt around his waist.
As soon as the clothes on his body were loosened, Tianchen's entire chest was immediately revealed.
"What do you do?"
"Please take a bath and change clothes, the banquet will start in a while, Childe's outfit is not very good-looking. The maid explained, but there was a hint of mockery in her words.
Tianchen naturally understood these mockery, but after years of humiliating life, he naturally didn't care about these small actions.
"Okay, I see, you guys put your things down and go out, I'll get the rest myself." Tianchen was a little embarrassed, and said a word, and the intention of driving people was revealed.
The maid herself didn't want to serve this dirt bun, and she didn't say much, but she saw her other maids wave their hands, and after the maids put down the things in their hands, the four of them left the room together and closed the door.
Huh, there are many rules in this mansion, but this is also luxurious enough, and so many people need to serve you in a bath, no wonder the books say that the sons and ladies of those big official courtyards are all very weak.
Tianchen thought to himself while undressing.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, it was the picture of Miss Yun and the person who pursued and killed.
