Chapter 7: Lan Yafang

Shen Quan returned to the room and immediately began to meditate cross-legged and run the True Martial Sword Sutra, everything was so smooth, without any hindrance, naturally Shen Quan ran for a week, Shen Quan maintained a meditative posture and continued to cultivate.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was late afternoon. Shen Quan was still sitting cross-legged, quietly cultivating.

At this time, I saw Shen Quan take a long breath, slowly open his eyes, get up and move around the room, feeling that the true qi in his body was much stronger than before.

Shen Quan picked up the black sword on the side and muttered: "This True Martial Sword Sutra was obtained from you, so I will call you the True Martial Sword in the future!"

Looking out the window, the sun had set, but it wasn't completely dark. Shen Quan was about to go out, wanting to find something to eat, and Shen Quan was already hungry after a day of cultivation.

As soon as he opened the door, the maid who had shown him the way in the morning was raising a hand, ready to knock on the door.

"Shen Gongzi, His Royal Highness has set up a banquet in Lan Yafang and invited you to go with him, and he is now waiting for you in the front hall. As soon as the maid was about to knock on the door, she saw Shen Quan come out, and said to Shen Quan in a daze.

"Okay, I'm tired of the girl leading the way. Shen Quan agreed, just as he was still hungry.

"Girl, who has His Royal Highness invited?" On the way, Shen Quan asked the maid.

"The slave doesn't know. ”

After a while, they rushed to the front hall. As soon as the prince of Xiang saw Shen Quan coming, he hurriedly took his hand and walked outside the palace, and said enthusiastically: "Brother Shen, I have set up a banquet for you in Lan Yafang, go, and go with me." ”

Shen Quan's mind was full of black lines, "Did this prince of Xiang eat something wrong, why is he suddenly so enthusiastic, and suddenly changed his name to Brother Shen, what about his son?" Shen Quan thought to himself.

"Your Royal Highness, why is you suddenly so enthusiastic? Shen Quan quietly twitched his hand and said.

"Blame me, blame me, I neglected Brother Shen before. Brother Shen, the carriage is already waiting outside, let's go!" said Shizi with a smile and walked out with Shen Quan.

followed the prince of Xiang out of the mansion, and the carriage had already stopped outside the mansion and waited. Seeing the two come out, a middle-aged groom in sackcloth brought a stool and invited them into the carriage.

As night approached, there weren't many people on the streets, and since curfew was approaching, most of the vendors had already begun to close their stalls. Compared with yesterday, when Shen Quan entered the city, the streets were much more deserted.

Shen Quan and the others rode all the way to the east. To the east of Xiangzhou City is the Youshui River. There is a tributary of the Youshui River that flows through the city of Xiangzhou. Lan Yafang, where the prince of Xiang set up a banquet, is on this tributary.

When the carriage reached the river, the street became lively, and the voices of various warblers and swallows came into Shen Quan's ears, which naturally included the "Uncle, come in and play!" that Shen Quan had often heard on TV before, "Uncle, come in and play!"

Whether it was the previous world or the current world, Shen Quan had never seen this kind of scene, and he couldn't help but open the side curtain and look out.

Seeing that he was curious, the prince of Xiang explained to him. It turns out that this is where the fireworks in Xiangzhou City are located. On both sides of the riverbank here are Qinglou wine shops, and the river is densely covered with painted boats. And Lan Yafang is the largest painting boat in Xiangzhou City.

"Your Highness, here it is. After the carriage stopped at the door of a green building called Yayue Tower, the coachman turned his head and said something inside.

As soon as the two of them got out of the car, an old bustard dressed in a fancy fashion greeted them and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince has arrived, and Miss Qinqing is already waiting on the boat." ”

"Yo, this son's face is tight, and he will come often in the future. When the old bustard saw Shen Quan behind the prince, he also said to him very enthusiastically.

Shizi ignored her, and walked straight to a big ship parked opposite Yayue Tower, but Shen Quan was smiling and looking around, it was the first time for him to grow up in such a place, and there was a trace of nervousness in his heart.

After Shen Quan got on the boat with his son, he saw a woman dressed elegantly waiting on the boat. When the lady saw the two of them coming on the boat, she saluted the prince, and then said, "Your Royal Highness, you have prepared the wine and food, so you are just waiting for your highness to come." ”

"There is Miss Lao Jingqing, lead the way!"

"His Royal Highness, and this son, please come with me. The girl said something to the two of them, and then took them and went to the inner room. Entering the inner room, Shen Quan found that the costume was extremely elegant.

As soon as Shen Quan and Shizi sat down, two more maids knelt beside them and poured wine for them. At this time, the sound of the piano sounded again, and it turned out that the girl was playing the piano behind the curtain.

But the whisper rang for a moment and then stopped. Miss Jingqing looked at Shen Quan in surprise, only to see that he was eating there with chopsticks, and he made a chirping sound from time to time. Since she got on the boat, she had never seen anyone eat and drink in such a scene, and when she thought that he was the person invited by His Royal Highness, she looked at him with some curiosity.

After a while, Shen Quan stopped his chopsticks, raised his glass and said, "His Royal Highness, Miss Qinqing, when you are busy with cultivation and forget to eat, you are really hungry and hungry, and if you are rude, you will punish yourself with a cup first." After speaking, Shen Quan drank the wine in the cup in one gulp. In fact, he just choked on eating too quickly.

"Brother Shen, I abruptly surprised the beauty, interrupted the beautiful sound of the piano, and it was not enough to punish myself. The prince of Xiang quipped.

"Haha, then it's okay for me to punish myself with three cups. Shen Quan laughed, turned around and said to the girl again, "Let the girl laugh." After speaking, Shen Quan's face did not change color, and he drank three cups in a row. Shen Quan is massive, and no one among his classmates has ever been able to drink him before.

When Miss Qin heard this, she smiled and said: "Shen Gongzi has a good temperament and is eclectic, but Qin Jing broke the sound of the piano, disturbing His Royal Highness the Prince and Shen Gongzi Yaxing, and Qin Jing gave the two of them a cup to apologize." ”

After Shen Quan and the prince of Xiang also drank a cup, the prince of Xiang asked Shen Quan.

"Brother Shen has a lot, what does Brother Shen think of the livelihood of the people in Xiangzhou?"

"There are not many places to go, and as far as Xiangzhou City and Hebian Village are concerned, the people can be regarded as living and working in peace and contentment. Shen Quan thought for a moment and replied.

"The reason why Xiangzhou has today's stability and tranquility is thanks to the help of young heroes like Brother Shen, so that the southwest barbarians dare not invade at will, if Brother Shen goes to wander the rivers and lakes, it is really a pity. Brother Shen might as well stay and serve the country, so as to build a career for himself. Shizi said with a smile.

"His Royal Highness, I have been envious of singing and fast horses since I was a child, and I am happy about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but I want to live up to His Highness's good intentions. ”

Shen Quan felt that the prince of Xiang must have known about the treasure house, so he started to solicit it. Shen Quan felt that he had his own source of exercises, and he didn't need to be attached to any force, and besides, the dignified Xiang Wangfu would not recruit killers who did not succeed, so Shen Quan refused.

"That's a pity, since Brother Shen is not here, then it is inconvenient for me to stay, so I can only wish Brother Shen a reputation as soon as possible. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, if there is a need in the Xiang Palace, His Highness will only send someone to inform him, and he will go all out to repay His Highness's gift today. Shen Quan saw that he was not forced to stay, so he said.

Originally, the Innocent Divine Bead was only enough to exchange for a treasure, but the prince of Xiang Wang took one for each of the three of them, and Shen Quan felt that he owed a favor, so he made a promise.

"Today is below...... Be careful......"
