Volume 1, Chapter 103 of the Capital Battle, just a stone's throw away

On the twenty-seventh day of the first month of the seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, Chenshi, in the east of Chang'an City, at the gate of the Zhaofu Annex.

The morning sun shone on the vermilion gate of the Zhao Mansion, and at this time, Kang Youren was knocking on the door knocker vigorously. A man from the courtyard of the Zhao Mansion rushed over to open the door, and when he saw that it was just a young man in a strange costume, his eyes immediately widened, and he scolded: "Who! Knock on the door early in the morning, you don't have to ...... so early if you want food."

Before he could say the word "early", he fell for Kang Youren's "Qingfeng Yulu Powder". I saw that Kang Youren only moved his fingers slightly, and threw out a trace of his Kang family's unique secret medicine, which made this man's body soften and fall to the ground obliquely.

Kang Youren strode into the door, and when he saw someone, he played "Qingfeng Yulu Powder". Although his martial arts skills were lost, the Kang family's two stunt poisons and hidden weapons were still able to make it, and it was more than enough to use it on these ordinary people who had no martial arts at this time.

After all, Kang Youren is an expert in poisoning, and he only has a stick of incense, and the more than 20 families in the Zhao Mansion Courtyard, as well as a group of maids and old women, have all been fascinated by him......

Last night, Kang Youren returned to his residence in Gudefang, but he didn't see his two personal maids, he was very strange in his heart, and when he woke up this morning, he saw that Ah Zhu and Ah Ju had not returned overnight, and he knew that something would happen to the two. He has been taken care of by these two maids since he was a child, and after he came to Chang'an, he had no other relatives around him, because he already regarded Azhu and Aju as his relatives in his heart.

Kang Youren got up immediately, hurried to the palace of the king of Chu, handed over a pack of "sleeping flower pills" to the king of Chu, and then hurried to Balinyuan. According to the maid in the Kang house, yesterday Ah Zhu and Ah Ju agreed to go to Balin Yuan to play......

Kang Youren was anxious, and he inquired everywhere, and finally found a tea stall by the plum forest on the bank of Weishui. The stall owner said in a hesitant manner that he had seen two bearded girls visiting here yesterday. Kang Youren took out two taels of silver, and the stall owner's eyes lit up when he saw the silver, and he was busy saying that the two girls were tied up by a group of family members, and he only vaguely heard them say "Zhao Gongzi" and "Chengdong Courtyard" Yunyun.

With these messages, Kang Youren had a rough idea in his heart. There are not many famous Zhao Gongzi in Chang'an City, and he Kang Youren happened to know one, who was Zhao Xiaogang, the son of Zhao Yong, the squire of the military department. Just because Zhao Yong is also a confidant of the King of Chu, Kang Youren often goes in and out of the Chu Palace, and naturally has several relationships with the father and son of the Zhao family. Now, Kang Youren heard the tea stall owner talk about Zhao Gongzi's appearance, and after comparing it in his heart, he decided that the person must be Zhao Xiaogang.

Kang Youren has a lot of connections in the capital, and after a little questioning, he inquired about the Zhao Mansion's other courtyard in the east of the city. He was doing things like a storm at the moment, and when he got the news, he immediately rushed over, and only found the gate of the Zhao Mansion at the end of the hour.

At this time, Kang Youren could only use up two packs of "Qingfeng Yulu Powder", and he had already stunned everyone in Zhao's mansion. He tied the hands and feet of the leader of the family, washed him up with a basin of water, and asked:

"What about Zhao Xiaogang?"

After the head of the family opened his eyes, he saw that there was only Kang Youren in front of him, but his hands and feet were tied, he didn't know Kang Youren's methods, and said angrily for a while:

"Dare thief! Do you know what kind of place this is! Dare to come to the house of Lord Zhao, the squire of the military department, to spread wildness! Don't you let me go soon!"

Kang Youren was anxious in his heart, how could he still have the heart to accompany the Ding family, he took out a short knife from his waist, and with just a stroke of his hand, he cut off half of the leader's left ear, and said in a deep voice:

"What do I ask you, are you deaf?"

The leader of the family screamed in pain, and hurriedly replied: "Big ...... Uncle, Zhao Gongzi is not ...... Not here, he ...... He went back to his house to heal his wounds......"

"What about the two girls you captured last night," Kang Youren asked.

"Last night's ...... Those two bearded girls, she ...... They stabbed Zhao Gongzi's eyes and ran away,......" the leader of the family replied in a trembling voice.

"What the hell is going on? You tell me carefully what happened before and after!" Kang Youren shouted.

The leader of the family was like seeing the living king of Hades at this time, he didn't dare to slack off, so he led a group of family members to accompany Zhao Gongzi and a few guests yesterday evening, and then visited Balin Plain together, and then saw Ah Zhu and A Ju, Zhao Gongzi saw that he was interested, so he ordered them to secretly attack, tied the two girls to the other courtyard, until the two girls stabbed Zhao Gongzi again, and took advantage of the chaos to escape from the house, and told Kang Youren one by one.

Kang Youren heard that Ah Zhu and Ah Ju were able to be in a hurry and blinded Zhao Xiaogang in one of his left eyes, and he couldn't help but praise him, and later heard that after they escaped from the Zhao Mansion Courtyard, they got into a carriage and didn't know where to go, so they were worried again, and then asked:

"Do you see where the carriage went?"

"Little ...... The little one didn't see it clearly, but he knew that it was running south......" replied the leader of the family. Seeing that Kang Youren's face was not good, he had already shown murderous anger, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and begged loudly for mercy:

"Uncle! The carriage was running so fast that the little ones tried their best to catch up, but they couldn't catch up, they ...... Where did they go, I really don't know the little ones! Uncle spares his life!

"There are so many of you, you can't catch up with a carriage, what do you want!" Kang Youren said angrily. His heart was on fire for a moment, so he swung his knife and swiped it at the neck of the leader of the family, and blood spurted out, and the leader fell to the ground and died.

Kang Youren knew the temperament of Ah Zhu and Ah Ju, and he would not be separated from him for so long. If there had been a good man in the carriage, his two handmaidens would have returned home last night. Until now, they have still not been heard from, and they must have been more than lucky. Thinking of this section, the young man of the Kang family was even more furious in his heart, he walked into the courtyard, saw a man who fainted by himself, and wiped his neck with a knife, only a moment's work, all the male servants in the whole house died under Kang Youren's knife. There were only a few maids and old women left, who still fainted to the ground, but fortunately their father and mother gave them the body of a woman, otherwise they would have returned to the West long ago......

Killed these two dozen families

After Ding, Kang Youren found another bucket of clean water, washed away a few blood stains on his body, dusted off his body, closed the door of the Zhao Mansion Courtyard, and walked out proudly.

Where to look for this next, Kang Youren's heart is really out of proportion. He had to go all the way south and ask around, but where did he go to find the whereabouts of the carriage among the thousands of families in Chang'an City?

Kang Youren was aimless, just beat the horse and walked south, and looked for more than an hour, although he was anxious, but he was helpless. At this time, the red sun is in the sky, when it is noon, the warm winter sun shines on this Chang'an city as warm as spring, and the streets are full of cars and horses, people come and go, and there is an endless stream. Kang Youren suddenly smelled the fragrance of wine and food, and then remembered that he had not had breakfast today, and when he looked up, he saw a small restaurant in front of him, only to see a big "wine" word waving in the wind, and a door plaque next to it, with the words "worry-free home" written on it.

Kang Youren was hungry, so he got off the horse and entered the "worry-free house", and saw that the furnishings inside were very simple, and only a dozen square tables were placed at random. At noon on this day, the restaurant was already full of seven or eight tables of guests, so Kang Youren chose a small table in the corner to sit down, ordered a pot of wine with Xiao Er of the running hall, and asked for five catties of beef, a few flatbreads and a few side dishes.

"Anyway, let's talk about it when I'm full first!" I really can't do it, so I have to ask the king of Chu again, and let him order Jing Zhaoyin to send people to find the whole city......" Kang Youren lowered his head and thought about it, picked up the flatbread, rolled the beef and put it in his mouth and chewed it.

What he couldn't dream of was that in the eyes of the King of Chu, he Kang Youren had already become an "outcast". Once Sun Xun is killed, the next one to be exterminated will be his turn to be the eldest of the Kang family, not to mention, the king of Chu will also help him find someone......

"Senior brother, you need to order more food, you've traveled such a long way...... I'm almost hungry!" came a young boy's immature voice. Kang Youren followed the prestige, and saw five men in white shirts striding into the restaurant. The first young man, with a long body, fluttering clothes, a delicate face, and a superb demeanor...... "It's him!" When Kang Youren saw it, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly turned around quietly, facing the corner of the wall, leaning down, trying his best not to let the man see him.

The handsome man didn't notice Kang Youren in the corner, he saw the young man in front of him pout, hurriedly stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay! Senior brother will immediately order a table of 'Sanzhen Daquan Banquet' for you, and see how much we can eat in Luoxing?"

"Senior brother is deceiving people! In such a small restaurant, where can a 'Three Treasures Grand Banquet' be made? Bad senior brother knows how to deceive ......people," the young man, who was about seventeen years old and was called "Falling Star," pouted.

The so-called "Three Treasures Grand Banquet" is a well-known banquet. It is said that the whole table of banquets should list at least hundreds of dishes, but where the water, the ground, and the air, the delicacies that can be named are almost all-encompassing, all-encompassing, so it is named "Three Treasures Daquan Banquet". "Three treasures" is to take "water, on the ground, the sky edible things, treasures are all there" meaning, three treasures, heaven treasures, earth treasures, water treasures also. "Daquan" is the richest dish of the extreme. After this banquet, the cost is at least a few thousand taels of silver, which is generally only occasionally enjoyed by royal relatives and wealthy families.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant saw that it was a cold day, these five people were just dressed in white single clothes, and they did not show the slightest hint of coldness, and they were also very curious in their hearts, thinking that they must be masters of the rivers and lakes, and they did not dare to slack off at the moment, and they were busy and enthusiastically beckoned them to find a big table in the center to sit down.

"Luo Yu, come and have some...... "The handsome man who was called the senior brother ordered.

"Okay!" Luo Yu responded, and he was not polite, and immediately ordered a large pot of tea with the shopkeeper, as well as a dozen ordinary vegetarian dishes, and another large pot of rice...... It's all the most common and cheap meals in the restaurant.

"Second Senior Brother, you are even more stingy than Senior Brother! You don't even order a piece of meat...... I won't do it, I won't do it!" Seeing this, Luoxing's mouth pursed even higher.

The other four people all laughed when they saw Luoxing's cute appearance. One of them, a round-faced young man who was about a year or two older than Luo Xing, said: "Luo Xing, let's pad our hunger here first, and then when we get to Senior Brother Sun's mansion, we will knock him well! Senior Brother Sun is a big official, and there is nothing to eat at home!"

"Well, that's pretty much it! Luoyun is the best for me!" Luoxing nodded, and when he thought that in just a few more moments, there would be countless delicious foods to eat, and his mouth suddenly opened and showed a smile like a star.

"Hmm?...... Call the fourth senior brother!...... there are no rules," Luoyun pretended to be angry.

"Yay...... You're a year older than me, shame!" Luoxing grimaced at Luoyun and smiled.

"I'm a year older and a senior brother......" Luoyun also smiled.

While these five fellow brothers were talking and laughing, the shopkeeper delivered the meals one by one. They are accustomed to a light diet every day, and at this time they are hungry, and they don't care whether there is meat or not, they are full of rice, and they eat some green vegetables and radishes, leek sprouts and tofu.

......At this time, a middle-aged man with a fair face and an elegant appearance walked into the restaurant, and when he saw the senior brother sitting in the middle, he immediately stepped forward and bowed his hand.

"Who is this ......?" The white-shirted young man with a delicate face and a detached demeanor was the eldest disciple of the Shaoshan Sect of the No. 1 faction in the rivers and lakes. At this time, he couldn't remember who the middle-aged man in front of him was, so he had to ask casually.

"Oh...... In the autumn rain of Mo, the same people in the rivers and lakes sent a nickname 'Iron Mask Meilangjun'. Last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, on the shore of Taihu Lake, at the monster hunting conference, I was fortunate to see the demeanor of the son, I don't want to meet the son in Chang'an City today, how fortunate Mo is!

"It turned out to be Mr. Mo......" Luoyang just replied lightly. When he saw Mo Qiuyu dressed as a scribe, he casually exhaled "Sir"

。 As for the Taihu Lake Demon Hunting Conference half a year ago, it has always been a pain in Luoyang's heart. That night, he was determined to win the position of "Leader of the Demon Hunting Alliance", but unexpectedly, a young man of the Kang family flew out of Taihu Lake halfway. As soon as he was careless, he fell for Kang Youren's plot and almost died on the spot. Later, although he was rescued by Qin Gufeng, he picked up a life, but the Kang family's "Seven Days Soul Devouring Scatter" was really powerful, and although the antidote was used, the internal injuries were still there. After returning to Shaoshan, Luoyang has been recuperating until now, and he can recover from his internal injuries, and his skills have finally recovered......

Hearing that Mo Qiuyu mentioned the pain of the day, Luoyang already showed displeasure on his face. Unexpectedly, Mo Qiuyu is known as "Iron Mask", and his face is really thick. Without waiting for the setting sun to greet him, he actually picked a vacant seat to sit down, casually called the shopkeeper, ordered two pots of ten-year-old "Fenyang drunk", and asked for more than a dozen big dishes in a row, all of which were famous dishes in "Forget Worries".

Mo Qiuyu greeted everyone warmly, and said with a smile: "Son Luoyang, it is really rare for Qiuyu to meet you in Chang'an City today! These four junior brothers, Gongzi, are all extraordinary in appearance and dignified in appearance, and they are really handsome among people! Qiuyu can have the fate to get to know you, it is really my three lives lucky! Today's wine is made by Qiuyu, you must appreciate your face, you must appreciate your face...... Huh!"

Luo Yang was about to say goodbye, but Luo Yu next to him hurriedly grabbed his hand and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Mo is so polite, we are difficult to be polite, but disrespectful, haha...... Senior brother, don't shirk if people have a good intention......"

"Exactly, exactly!" Mo Qiuyu also hurriedly echoed......

It turned out that the "secret stronghold" of the "iron-faced beauty" Mo Qiuyu in Chang'an City was near the left of this "worry-free residence". After Mo Qiuyu urged Ah Ju and Ah Zhu to break flowers and willows last night, he slept until three poles in the sun before getting up. When he got up, he felt unbearable hunger in his belly, so he fed the two girls the medicine that blinded his mind, and bound her hands and feet, and then walked out of the small restaurant with confidence. No, as soon as he entered the door, he recognized Luoyang, the great disciple of Shaoshan, and thought of the prestige of Shaoshan, how could he let go of this good ......opportunity to stammer?

When the shopkeeper saw that Mo Qiuyu had ordered dozens of taels of silver as soon as he came up, he was overjoyed in his heart, and he greeted him more attentively. I saw that the running hall was busy up and down, and on the wine table of the setting sun, what "jasper pine fish", "steamed eight-treasure duck", "roast pig's trotters", "stewed bergamot" and so on...... Lianzhu generally goes on and on, and everyone is dazzled. Luoxing picked up the chopsticks and kept picking up the dishes, only to feel that these dishes were all fresh and delicious, and they fell into his mouth and swallowed them without waiting to chew them.

Luo Yu took a sip of the "Fenyang drunk" in the cup, and while tasting the fragrance in the wine, he smiled at Mo Qiuyu and asked:

"Where is Mr. Mo from, and what is the reason for coming to the capital this time?"

"Oh...... In the next is Jiangbei Huating people, usually live in Congyun Island Shuanghua Cave. This time I entered Beijing for the three-day treasure pavilion of the 'Museum Appreciation Conference' at the beginning of next month. Dare to ask Luo Yu Gongzi, ...... are you too?" Mo Qiuyu replied.

"Is it a 'day fair'...... After hearing its name for a long time, our brothers naturally want to join in the fun, but this time, the five of us came to the capital together, mainly to meet a senior brother in my sect for a while......" Luo Yu took another sip of wine and said.

"Qiuyu has heard that Shaoshan is the largest faction in the world, and your faction is really talented, and there are still people in your faction in this capital. Who is this senior brother who dares to ask Gongzi? Another day, Mo will definitely come to visit ......" Mo Qiuyu said.

"Ahem, our senior brother, he is from the public family, you don't know him if you say it......" Luo Yu smiled slightly, and then diverted the topic.

......

Here, the five senior brothers of Luoyang and Mo Qiuyu were drinking and talking, but Kang Youren over there was shocked. He said in his heart that he was at the Taihu Lake Demon Hunting Conference that day, and he was so competitive that he almost sent Luoyang to the west sky, and now he met on a narrow road, and his martial arts were all wasted, in case he recognized him, could he still get it!

At that moment, Nakang Youren hastily ate something and didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he raised the collar and lowered the brim of his hat to cover his face as much as possible, and took out a few taels of silver from his arms and put them on the table, lowered his head, and quietly slipped out of the side door......

"This guest officer, give you the money...... shopkeeper suddenly shouted behind Kang Youren. The Kang family didn't expect that there were such sincere businessmen in Chang'an City, and they were shocked and angry for a while, and at that moment, the soles of his feet were windy, and he hurriedly ran outside the store, untied the horse rope, and jumped up. He clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and he longed to grow his wings and fly forward......

"Who is this person? Dressed with bells and whistles, and wearing a big flower hat, why did he run away in a panic? Don't even ...... silver?" Luo Yu asked with a smile as he put a piece of duck meat in his stomach. The position where Luo Yu was sitting was facing Kang Youren's side door, and he could see this scene clearly.

"I don't know this person, Qiu Yu, but looking at his appearance, he looks like a folk 'flower thief'...... Hehehe!" Mo Qiuyu turned his head to look at Kang Youren's back, and echoed with a smile. Originally, Mo Qiuyu had clearly seen Kang Youren's appearance at the demon hunting conference, but at this time he had his back to the door, and when he turned his head, he only saw Kang Youren's back.

"Luo Yu, you drink less wine...... We still have something to do!" Luoyang, who was sitting at the top, saw his second junior brother Luoyu, and at this time, the wine did not leave his hand and the cup did not leave his mouth, so he spoke out to dissuade him. Originally, if he turned his head slightly, he would naturally be able to see Kang Youren fleeing in panic, but at this time, he was thinking about the parting instructions of the master and the master, and he was worried in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to the scene that Luo Yu Shicai saw.

"Yes, yes, yes! Luo Yu obeys the orders of the senior brother!, however, wait until I finish this cup......" Luo Yu responded with a smile, and as soon as he tilted his neck, he poured all the remaining wine in the cup into his mouth.
