Yu Fan saw that Qu Naji finally stopped cowering, so he smiled and said, "Then there is a Laoqu class master who will not hesitate to give advice." ”

Qu Naji patted his chest and said: "If you talk about the famous places in Luoyang, it is natural to take the Guandi Shengjun Temple as the head. There are thousands of Guandi temples in the world, and only our Luoyang, the Guandi Shengjun Temple, can be called the first temple in the world. As for the Guandi Temple in Jiezhou, Shanxi and Dangyang, Hubei, compared with our Guandi Shengjun Temple in Luoyang, it is still a few points inferior. ”

Yu Fan nodded and said, "That's true." When I was in the capital, I heard that the incense of the Shengjun Temple of Emperor Guan in Luoyang was vigorous, and it was very effective. Since you have arrived in Luoyang today, you must go to worship Emperor Guan, and it is not in vain that you have been here. ”

Qu Naji said: "Your Excellency has this intention, Emperor Guan Shengjun will definitely bless your adult with smooth sailing and rise step by step." ”

Yu Fan said with a smile: "Then borrow the auspicious words of the master of the qu class." Come, I'll toast the class master!"

The two of them picked up their glasses and drank them all. Qu Naji finally put his mind at ease at this time, wiped his mouth, and was about to tell Yu Fan about the benefits of Emperor Guan's Shengjun Temple, when he saw a man in Tsing Yi in his twenties hurriedly walking over. He was stunned, but saw the man in Tsing Yi come to Yu Fan's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

Yu Fan's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "You are not mistaken?"

The man in Tsing Yi put his hands on his side and said respectfully: "Lord Qiyu, the villain has been following him into the North City, and I have seen him enter the inn. It's just that this person's martial arts are extremely high, and the villain didn't dare to follow too closely, and he didn't see if he had a blade on his body......"

Qu Naji saw that the man in Tsing Yi looked respectful, and knew that he had something to talk to Yu Fan, so he had already excused himself for convenience and walked away. When Yu Fan talked to the man in green clothes, he had no scruples. Yu Fan pondered for a moment before he said, "That person didn't find you, right?"

Tsing Yi said: "The man just shot under the stage and saved the life of this play, so I kept an eye on him." After the lord gave him the command, I followed him from a distance. There were two or three thousand people under the stage, and I was so mixed in with the crowd that I didn't think he would notice. But when I look at him, it's not for adults. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left the show. ”

Yu Fan nodded and said, "That's the best." It took us so much effort to return to Henan, and we must not cause any more trouble. Speaking of this, he saw that Qu Naji was staggering back from a distance, so he said to the man in Tsing Yi: "Just now, I took the opportunity to talk to this play, and carefully observed the situation around me, and indeed no one was watching. It seems that my cultivation has not yet reached home, and my deeds have only been exposed, and I have almost broken a big thing. ”

The man in Tsing Yi shook his head and said, "My lord is kind-hearted, saved two children, and did great good deeds. Heaven has mercy and will bless us with all the best of our trip. ”

Yu Fan saw that Qu Naji was only more than ten steps away from the two of them, and immediately whispered: "You go and settle the food money, let's go back to the city." ”

The man in Tsing Yi agreed, turned around and went to the boss to settle the bill. Qu Naji happened to walk back to the table at this time, sat down with his hand, and said to Fan: "It's a little late today, if you want to go to the Guan Emperor Shengjun Temple, you can only go tomorrow." Emperor Guan Shengjun Temple in Luoyang City south fifteen miles, south of Longmen, east of Yishui, if the adult is tired of boats and cars, may as well hire a small sedan chair, along the way is also quite comfortable. ”

Yu Fan smiled: "Thank you to the master of the class." Today's meeting is really unforgettable. It's just that I still have important matters, so I will say goodbye to the master of the music class. If he is the master of the Japanese Qu class to do things in martial arts, we will have the fate to meet again. ”

Qu Naji was overjoyed, he sang opera all over Henan all the year round, and was repeatedly exploited by the servants in the yamen. Although Yu Fan is just a county magistrate in name only, he is also an official after all. If he took the Hechangxiu opera troupe to Xiuwu, and Yu Fan took care of him in the yamen, it would naturally be very convenient. Immediately, his face was full of joy, and he said, "Then thank you too much." ”

The two exchanged a few more polite words, and Yu Fan was about to leave. Qu Naji hurriedly took out the loose silver from his bosom to settle the bill, but the boss smiled and told him that the account had been settled. Qu Naji knew that Yu Fan had let the man in Tsing Yi settle the account, and hurriedly handed the silver to Yu Fan. The two of them gave in, and finally Qu Naji held the silver in his hand in a curt, and in addition to thanking him, he even said that he deserved to die and snubbed the distinguished guest. Yu Fan laughed, arched his hand at Qu Naji, and then slowly walked down the mountain with the people in Tsing Yi.

It was nearly evening, and it was getting dark. There were few people on the mountain road, and only the sound of dead grass in the cold wind could be heard. Yu Fan put his hands behind his back, looked at Luoyang City in the twilight from a distance, and said: "Among the people who came to watch the play today, there are really a lot of characters in the rivers and lakes. But when the two naughty boys were in danger, no one came to their rescue. Like the old heroes of Luoyang Shijia Knife, the Chen brothers of Chenjiabao, and Yang Ziqiao, the head of Lei Fist, are all famous figures in the righteous path of martial arts. But these people just watched from the sidelines, and none of them came to the rescue. The righteous people are still like this, and those evil demons and foreign ways don't think about it. ”

The man in Tsing Yi walked beside him and said in a deep voice: "People in the world are originally people who seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. The more people who claim to be benevolent and righteous, the more evil things they do behind their backs. If it weren't for that man's chivalrous reputation in the past, Madame wouldn't have fallen for tricks......"

When he said this, Yu Fan's face sank, and his footsteps stopped slightly. Only a moment later, he walked down the hill again. The man in Tsing Yi immediately noticed it, so he stopped talking. The two of them didn't speak again, just walked along a stone-level road until they reached the bottom of the mountain. By the time I set foot on the road to Luoyang Beicheng, it was already dark. Yu Fan said in a deep voice: "The master and servant, how did you handle it?"

The man in Tsing Yi smiled and said, "Adults can rest assured." ”

Yu Fan sighed and said, "It's not a good thing to fight violence with violence. We've killed twenty-seven people before and after, and that's not what we intended......"

The man in Tsing Yi saw Yu Fan's unbearable look on his face, and said: "My lord, these twenty-seven people are all treacherous people, and it is not a pity to die. It is said that the two masters and servants did a lot of evil in the capital, disregarding people's lives, and after they were released, they collected money and bent the law for bribes. We have done a great thing for the people by getting rid of them, and you don't have to blame yourself. ”

Yu Fan sighed and said, "It's just that these people also have old wives and children in their families......"

When he said this, he stopped talking. The man in Tsing Yi opened his lips and wanted to speak, but finally gritted his teeth and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

When the two arrived at the north gate of Luoyang City, it was already dark, and lanterns and torches were lit on the city tower. There were more than a dozen soldiers standing at the gate of the city, checking the people entering and leaving the city gate. But these soldiers were all old and weak, and they all looked tired, and they were just bluffing, and they soon let everyone into the city.

After Yu Fan walked into the city with the people in Tsing Yi, he whispered to him: "Judging from the official document sent back by the governor's yamen, we came five or six days early. If we go to Xiuwu County at this time, we will inevitably arouse suspicion, thinking that we are in a hurry to rush to Xiuwu County, just to get some benefits. It is better to stay in Luoyang City for a few more days, although it is a sightseeing view, but you can also see the former appearance of this city. ”

When he said this, he looked back at the arrow tower in Luoyang North City, and then continued: "When I left Luoyang City, I was only a seven or eight-year-old boy. Thirty-one years have passed since I returned today. Alas, with a flick of his fingers, he will be dying. ”

The man in Tsing Yi didn't care, and said, "I've been to this Luoyang City a few times, and there's nothing to see." I don't understand why the Tang Dynasty chose to be the capital here. ”

Yu Fan said: "Luoyang is the place of four wars, and it has been a battlefield since ancient times. This tower was burned and burned, and I don't know how many times it was repeated. It is under our feet, layer by layer, stacked with no less than ten dynasties of palaces and pavilions. But at the time of the Tang Dynasty, this Luoyang was a prosperous capital, and it was Wu Zetian who called Luoyang the capital of the gods, and he was happy to be at ease here. In the prosperous era of Xuanzong, this Luoyang is even more full of flowers and prosperous to the extreme. It's just that happiness gives birth to sorrow, and things must be reversed, and when Yuyangyang comes instigated, Luoyang falls into the hands of the rebels, which is the beginning of its decline. Since the beginning of the Anshi Rebellion, Luoyang has been repeatedly attacked by war, and there is no longer the scenery of the past. Once a family, a village, a town, a county, a government, and a country loses the hearts and minds of the people, it will be even more difficult to recover. ”

When he said this, he sighed and said, "You can't despise the decay of Luoyang today and despise its old scenery. ”

The man in Tsing Yi smiled and said, "What the adults said, I'll write it down." ”

Seeing his smiling appearance, Yu Fan clearly didn't take his words to heart, so he had to sigh again.

At this moment, the man in Tsing Yi suddenly stopped, reached his waist with his right hand, and held an object tightly.

Yu Fan saw that the face of the man in Tsing Yi had changed greatly, and knew that something must have happened around him, so he also stopped.

At this time, the lights are on, and the shops on both sides of the street are lit up with lanterns. Although there are not many pedestrians, it can be said that there is a constant flow of people.

The man in Tsing Yi turned his head and looked around for a moment, and then said to Fan: "It's strange, I just noticed that someone was staring at us, but why couldn't I see anyone?"

Yu Fan knows the ability of the people in Tsing Yi, since he said that someone is watching, there is a chance that he will be targeted. He whispered to the man in Tsing Yi: "I think I saved the two naughty boys on the stage, which aroused the suspicion of the local martial arts figures in Luoyang, so I sent someone to follow us." ”

The man in Tsing Yi thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "What the adults said is that as long as it doesn't get in the way of our affairs, we don't have to pay attention to them." ”

The two of them walked forward again, but this time they both kept their hearts. Sure enough, not far behind the two, there were people snooping from time to time. And some vendors selling dried fruits and snacks on the side of the road also stared at the two of them, whispering to people from time to time.

Seeing that these people were sneaky, the people in Tsing Yi were angry, and said to Fan: "These sanctimonious bastards! My lord, you go back to the inn first, and I will teach these bastards a lesson!"
