Chapter 85, Yingyue Lake
The last time Xu Ming woke up in the haystack was when he was in Beijing, and it was Qian Boy who woke him up at that time. It was just dawn, and no one saw him. Unlike now, Xu Ming got up awkwardly under the gaze of countless passers-by.
Xu Ming, who had a splitting headache, didn't care about being ashamed, stood up with difficulty against the wall, and then ran away.
"What the hell happened yesterday?" The headache eased slightly, Xu Ming found a tea stall, ordered a pot of tea, and sat down to rest.
Xu Ming endured a headache and thought back to the experience of visiting the Zheng family's villa last night.
"The last explosion, it won't be Chu Feng who blew up the other garden again!" Although Xu Ming didn't believe that Chu Feng could blow up the other garden in the hands of the four powerhouses of the Returning Realm, he did have such a "criminal record".
"Rest for a while, and then go back to the other garden immediately. Xu Ming made up his mind and sat and drank tea slowly.
The warm tea moistened Xu Ming's tired body, and his headache gradually disappeared.
At this time, two men were also sitting at the next table, looking like they were going to the market.
"Did you hear that, someone blew up the garden of Prime Minister Zheng Cheng's house yesterday!" said a man with a crooked mouth.
The other man's eyes were extremely small, as if he was squinting and speaking: "Is that the garden given by His Majesty?"
Crooked his mouth and said with some regret: "Alas, yes, it is said that many expensive flowers and plants have been burned!"
Squinted his eyes and snorted, surprised but with some admiration, and said: "Who the hell dares to blow up the garden of the prime minister's house? I'm afraid I didn't eat the bear's heart and leopard gall!"
Crooked his mouth and whispered: "It is said that it is the Chu Feng who is wanted by the Qingyang Sect!"
Squinting eyes looked at the crooked mouth in disbelief: "Impossible, why did he blow up the prime minister's garden?
Crooked mouth and shook his head: "Who knows." And it just so happened that the two elders of the Qingyang Sect were in the prime minister's garden last night, just in time!"
Squinted his eyes and said "heh", and asked, "Then Chu Feng has been arrested?"
Crooked mouth: "Of course he was caught, the two elders shot together, and they subdued him in a few rounds." ”
Squinting his eyes and saying regretfully: "Then Chu Feng is afraid that it is more auspicious and less auspicious." It's a pity that a genius!"
Crooked mouth, but felt very ordinary: "There are more geniuses who have fallen in the middle way, and it is not worth a pity." ”
......
"Chu Feng was arrested?!" Xu Ming's heart was agitated, and his head hurt again.
He didn't care about drinking tea, settled the bill, and went to the inn.
There was a sign halfway down the road, and a group of people were looking around and pointing to the ground. Xu Ming vaguely heard the name of "Chu Feng" and stopped and squeezed into the crowd.
"Yesterday, the Qingyang Sect was going to commit a crime, Chu Feng, and he entered the Prime Minister's Farewell Garden to commit murder. It happened that the two elders of Qingyang Sect Zhong Jian were both in the Prime Minister's Garden, and Chu Feng was captured on the spot. His companion has now fled, his whereabouts are unknown, and it is known that there are three women and one man. If you find a suspicious person in the imperial capital, please report to the official immediately, and the Qingyang Sect will have a heavy reward!"
"Li Yihuan, they escaped?" Xu Ming relieved himself slightly, thought about it, and became worried again.
The three girls, even if they escaped, but with the strength of the two of them in the Dan Realm, one without cultivation, I am afraid that they will not be able to hide for long in the imperial capital. Xu Ming was anxious and had a headache, but he didn't care about resting, and hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd.
Xu Ming sneaked back to the inn.
Their room was empty, everything was cleaned up, not to mention anything else, the three girls were very careful, and took everything with them when they left, leaving no evidence.
Xu Ming didn't stop any longer, turned around and walked out of the inn.
"The current situation is that Chu Feng was arrested, and Yi Huan and the others don't know where they fled. Xu Ming found a secluded alley, calmed down and thought carefully.
"The plan now is to find the place where Chu Feng is imprisoned first, and then rescue Chu Feng first. Xu Ming made up his mind.
Qingyang Sect didn't know about his relationship with Chu Feng, so Xu Ming actually had nothing to fear, he walked generously on the streets of the imperial capital.
"Let's go and inquire about the location of the people from the Qingyang Sect first. Xu Ming thought, "They probably sent someone to the dinner party on Chinese New Year's Eve." ”
There are many billboards in the imperial capital, all of which are pasted with notices and bounties from the Qingyang Sect. Xu Ming pretended to join in the fun, squeezed into the crowd, and asked, "There are some clues below, but I don't know where the immortals of the Qingyang Sect are, do you know?"
A warm-hearted person replied: "Just report to the official, and the Imperial Capital Mansion Yin will tell the immortals." How can we, ordinary people, know where the immortals live!"
"If you want to meet the immortals, you can try your luck at Yingyue Lake, there may be immortals from the Qingyang Sect there. Someone else said.
"Yingyue Lake?" Xu Ming pondered for a long time, raised his head and thanked: "Thank you!"
The cool land is mountainous, and the former Yingyue Lake is far from being as prosperous as it is now, surrounded by grass and trees and mountains and forests, and at that time it was the world of beasts, birds, fish and insects. Later, the rise of the Liang Kingdom and the establishment of the capital in this place gave rise to today's prosperous and magnificent imperial capital.
Legend has it that Yan Shuangying, the first general under the command of Liang Gaozu, captured Longcheng and continued to go north, and was stationed next to this lake to rest. Yan Shuang was an all-round talent in English and wrote a poem by the lake. It's a pity that there was no pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the army at that time, so it could not be recorded. Soon after, General Yan died of illness, and the poem was lost. The general who accompanied him at that time only remembered one of them: "The sun goose called the frost to the pillow, and the cold mountain reflected the moon in the lake." ”
Later, in order to commemorate Yan Shuangying, Gaozu named this lake with the word "Yingyue" in the poem, which gave rise to "Yingyue Lake".
Of course, this lake has long since lost the loneliness of General Yan's garrison at this time, but in this cold winter, the lakeside is still lively and prosperous.
It was nearly evening, and the dusk sun slowly sank in the chaotic clouds, and it cast a rose-colored afterglow on the surface of the lake.
The restaurants and brothels by the lake are lit up one after another. Before the afterglow of the setting sun faded, the dappled light and shadow had already encroached on the surface of the lake.
Xu Ming saw many men dressed as monks entering restaurants and brothels. It's no wonder, after all, cultivating in the sect all year round is inevitably too boring. It's easy to come out of the world and walk around, of course, you have to indulge. Understandable.
"Maybe you can really find someone from the Qingyang Sect here. Xu Ming's eyes lit up and he entered a magnificent and luxurious restaurant.
He still didn't have the courage to enter the brothel of the Qinglou.
Sure enough, he found a monk in Qingyang Sect's costume in the restaurant. The man was in the process of being with the other two sects
The two disciples of the door pushed the cup and changed the lamp, guessing the order. Xu Ming found an empty table next to them, ordered a few drinks and food, and listened to their chat silently.
"I'm sorry, two brothers, for the brother to win again. The man from the Qingyang Sect was so drunk that his face was flushed, and he took the spirit stone on the table with a smile on his face.
"Brother Xu is so lucky! Today, the two of us are afraid that we will lose all our family wealth to Brother Xu. The thin monk in the blue shirt laughed helplessly.
"It's still my own family!" Xu Ming looked at the "Brother Xu" who forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and said to the other two at the table: "Luckily, give in!"
"Hey, Brother Xu, I heard that your Qingyang Sect elder caught Chu Feng yesterday, is it really fake?" asked another monk with a peculiar red bracelet on his wrist.
There was a green ribbon around the waist of Qingyang Sect's Taoist robe, and the man may have eaten it, so he stretched out his hand and loosened the ribbon, and said, "That must be true, the old sword is out of the horse, a little Chu Feng, isn't it still easy to capture?"
"Anyway, why did Chu Feng go to Prime Minister Zheng Cheng's other garden? And it just so happened that Zhong Jian and the two elders were here?" the blue shirt wondered.
The red bracelet also nodded: "Exactly, the little brother is also confused." ”
The green ribbon was a little embarrassed: "I don't know why Chu Feng went to the Zheng family's villa, but the second elder Zhong Jian, this ......" The ugliness of the family is not publicized, and the green ribbon suddenly becomes cowardly.
"Say, Brother Xu, what are you afraid of? With your status in Qingyang, do you have to cower even when you talk about the elders?" said the blue shirt excitedly.
The red bracelet also teased: "Could it be that Senior Brother Xu, who is the number one in Qingyang's inner gate, is a coward who doesn't dare to say anything?"
Green Ribbon drank the wine, and was not very conscious, and was provoked by the two of them, and immediately blushed: "You don't have to provoke me, isn't it just the troubles of the two elders, what dare you not say? The last time Xu Ming was arrested, Zhong Lao resisted the responsibility, was expelled from the main sect by the three elders, and was sent to the imperial capital to be an idle deacon. Later, Zhong Lao was entrusted by Zheng Xiujie to help monitor Li Mu. A few days ago, Elder Jian took us to the imperial capital, and yesterday we went to see Elder Zhong. The two of them drank until the third watch, and as soon as they fell asleep, they heard a noise, and found that Chu Feng had actually entered the other garden, so they grabbed it. ”
"Feelings are fried. The red bracelet smiled playfully, "Then why, the two elders are in charge, and Chu Feng can still blow up the Zheng family's villa?"
"This, this. Green Ribbon looked embarrassed, "If it weren't for the two elders getting drunk, how could Chu Feng come here?"
The blue shirt smiled "hehe": "But I heard that if it weren't for the Marquis of Dingguo, Chu Feng would have run away!"
"Fighting under the influence of alcohol is inevitably substandard, understandable, understandable. ”
Looking at the embarrassed look of the green ribbon, the red bracelet and the blue shirt laughed happily.
