In this way, Lu Ye successfully solved the accommodation problem tonight with the help of the three heroes of Fengchen who he had newly acquainted.

The three young heroes have no fixed place to live on weekdays, but today they want to entertain their brothers, so naturally they can't just find a bridge and a cave to spend the night. After a little discussion with Garlic Miao, Xiaodao took Lu Ye to the City God Temple in Ningzhou Mansion.

During the day, it is the world of pilgrims, and at night it is the cave of beggars in Ningzhou Mansion.

Lu Ye had already seen the world of the bilge on the Jiqing, so when he saw the beggars and homeless people in tattered clothes inside and outside the City God Temple, he was not surprised to be calm.

Just read 10,000 books, and travel 10,000 miles.

Every word in the official document of the Great Yue Kingdom is eulogizing the prosperity of the world, and it seems that all the poor people who are struggling to survive for food and clothing in the dark have been forgotten.

Lu Ye followed the three heroes of wind and dust, swayed left and right, and bypassed the crowd lying on the ground, and finally walked into the main hall of the City God Temple.

Torches were lit in the main hall, and there were many fewer people than outside, and they sat in groups around to burn the fire and eat.

Xiaodao came to the innermost circle of people, led by a red-faced strong man, and when he saw him, he drunkenly called: "Xiaodao, come to pay the monthly money so early?"

Xiaodao respectfully bowed to the red-faced strong man and said, "Fifth Master, there is a brother here, I want to invite him to live in the palace tonight." ”

"Cheng," the red-faced strong man glanced at Lu Ye and the others casually, and said with a grin: "You know the rules, three cents per person." ”

The knife clicked and pointed, counted out twelve copper coins and handed them to the red-faced strong man. The red-faced strong man took it and left him alone, picked up the wine bowl and laughed with his companions on the side.

The knife walked back, with a hint of pride between his eyebrows, and said to Lu Ye: "It's done, let's live in the main hall tonight." ”

Lu Ye was puzzled: "Who is this person, why do you want to give him money?"

Xiaodao said in a low voice: "Fifth Master Ma is the boss of the beggar gang in Ningzhou Mansion, and the dock is all under his control, and he has thousands of brothers, and even the eldest master in the yamen has to sell some face." Whoever wants to live in the main hall of the City God Temple has to pay for the room according to the rules. Ordinary people ask for five texts, but Ma Wuye only accepts three texts in front of my little knife brother. ”

Lu Ye didn't hesitate and said, "Let you break the bank." ”

The knife felt sorry for the twelve copper coins in his heart, and his mouth was still arrogant: "We are brothers, what are the twelve copper coins? Let's go, find a good place to sit down and have dinner!"

The little jar said happily: "Okay, it's time to eat!"

The four of them found a corner to sit around, and the knife took out a few cold and stiff baked cakes and a pot of cold water. He first tore off a large piece and gave it to the small jar, and then handed a whole baked cake to Lu Ye, and divided a small half of himself and the garlic seedlings, and the rest were all taken back into his arms, it seemed that it was tomorrow's breakfast.

Lu Ye took a baked cake that was harder than pig iron, slowly tore off the small half and stuffed it into his mouth to chew, and handed the remaining half to the small jar and said, "I've been seasick these days, so I can't eat more." You can help me share some of the burden. ”

Xiaodao laughed and said: "You kid is so poor that you don't have a penny, and you are rich and sick." ”

Lu Ye smiled, took the kettle handed over by the garlic seedlings and took a sip.

The little jar asked, "Brother Lu, where are you going tomorrow?"

Lu Ye replied: "I have an aunt in Miao Tianmiao...... The master's mansion is doing things, and I came to Ningzhou Mansion to seek refuge with her. ”

"Your aunt knows Miao Tianwang, why didn't you say it just now?" The knife stretched out his neck and swallowed the baked cake, and complained: "If I knew this, we could save all the money for the house tonight." ”

"But my aunt is just a ...... in Miao Mansion Human. ”

Xiaodao looked like a jack of all trades, and said hesitantly: "Brother, you don't understand, right?" Don't say that your aunt is still a person, even if she is just a grass in the Miao Mansion, she is also a grass uncle! Who is Miao Tianwang-the top one among the four sea kings in the world! Not to mention anything else, he is walking on the street with a gatekeeper, and Ma Wuye has to take a detour if he sees it!"

"You have such an aunt, and it costs money to live in the City God Temple? stupid, stupid to death you!"

Garlic Miao nodded approvingly: "Well, yes, it's stupid enough!"

Lu Ye laughed, and reluctantly pretended to be surprised: "My aunt is really so arrogant?"

Knife nodded affirmatively, "Of course." As long as your aunt and Ma Wuye say hello, we will sleep in the best position in the main hall of the City God Temple every day, and we don't have to pay money!"

Xiao Can's eyes lit up, and he begged: "Brother Lu, why don't you talk to your aunt?" In this way, Brother Xiaodao and Brother Garlic Miao won't have to sleep in the bridge hole in the future!"

Lu Ye touched the yellow curly hair of the small jar, and said with a smile: "What's so good about the main hall of the City God Temple, how can it be a big house with a single family." ”

The knife only bragged to Lu Ye, yawned and said, "I can't live in the mansion tonight." Tomorrow we will accompany you to Miao Mansion to find your aunt. ”

Lu Ye didn't expect the knife to be so enthusiastic, so he had to agree first.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day when it was dawn, Ma Wuye's subordinates began to shout and drive people away. In another half an hour, there should be pilgrims in the temple.

Several people hurriedly paid homage to the Five Organs Temple, and rushed to the Heavenly King's Mansion under the leadership of the knife.

Tianwang's Mansion is not in the city of Ningzhou Mansion, but is located on a seaside mountain cliff fifteen miles outside the city, like an eagle with wings ready to fly overlooking the mighty sea.

At the bottom of the cliff, there are guards of the Tianwang Mansion guarding in front of a jade archway more than ten zhang high, from the archway to the back of thousands of acres, it is all the boundary of the Tianwang Mansion.

Don't look at the knife last night, he looked like he was not afraid of the sky and the earth, and he really approached the Heavenly King's Mansion, but his feet became slower and slower.

He was worried in his heart, in fact, Lu Ye was more difficult than him.

Of course, Lu Ye's aunt is a person in the Heavenly King's Mansion, but she is not a subordinate, but the wife of Miao Tianwang, the hostess of the Heavenly King's Mansion.

But last night, his words came out, saying that he was going to come to Miao Mansion to join his relatives, so he couldn't retreat from the battle.

The garlic sprouts and the little jar were already small, cowering behind the two of them, and they couldn't even hear a single footstep.

There were people coming and going in front of the archway, and no one cared about these half-grown children.

When Lu Ye and Xiaodao walked to the bottom of the archway, a guard finally shouted: "You two stop!"

The knife panicked, and he followed behind Lu Ye half-covered, but immediately dodged and hid behind Lu Ye.

Lu Ye bowed to the guard and said, "This eldest brother, I'm coming down to find my aunt." ”

The guards looked Lu Ye up and down, and saw that the young man was upright and polite, not like a scoundrel on the street, so he slowed down a little and asked, "Who is your aunt and where is she doing things?"

Lu Ye had already calculated on the way to come, and immediately opened his eyes and said nonsense: "My aunt's name is Lu Fenggu, and my father heard that she was a cook in the Tianwang Mansion, so he asked me to come to her to eat a bowl of rice." ”

The guards didn't know which cook in the Heavenly King's Mansion was named Lu Fenggu. There are thousands of people in this house, and it is normal for one to be unrecognized, so he turned his head and asked his companion: "Do any of you know about Lu Fenggu? In this way, you go back and ask clearly, which compound of our Heavenly King's Mansion does your aunt work in, and which young lady is serving. ”

Lu Ye got off the donkey and said, "Thank you, big brother, I'll go back and ask my father." ”

He turned to leave, and Xiaodao forgot to complain that Lu Ye didn't even know whether his aunt was working in the Heavenly King's Mansion or not, and followed back tremblingly.

It's not that he is timid, but he is completely suppressed by the grandeur of the Heavenly King's Mansion. The guards under the archway seem to be very polite, but they really want to turn their faces, and it is not much more troublesome to pull out a knife and cut them than to cut a watermelon.

In this way, the four of them returned the same way, and the little jar comforted Lu Ye and said, "Brother Lu, it's okay, if you can't find your aunt, you can mess with us!"

Lu Ye really didn't feel disappointed, after all, the name Lu Fenggu was made up by him, if such a cook with the same name and surname really came out of the Heavenly King's Mansion and wanted to recognize him, it would be really a ghost.

Hearing the little jar innocently comforting himself, he couldn't help but think of You Longlai, this guy is so old-fashioned, he hasn't come up since he disappeared yesterday, and the nagging in his ears is suddenly a lot quieter.

At this time, a middle-aged man rushed out of the archway, seeing that he should be the steward of the Heavenly King's Mansion, and shouted to Lu Ye from afar: "Little brother, wait!"

Lu Ye was stunned and turned around, the steward had already trotted all the way to the front, and gasped: "Little brother, do you want to go to the mansion to do things?" I am the steward in the compound, surnamed Zhang, and there is just a lack of a horse boy in my hand. ”

Lu Ye was still wondering why this steward Zhang took the initiative to find him, the eyes of the knife, garlic seedlings and small jars had lit up, and they all looked at Lu Ye with envy. Xiaodao saw that Lu Ye was still in a daze, and hurriedly promised him: "Yes, of course I am willing!"

Lu Ye couldn't cry or laugh, he came to the Heavenly King's Mansion by himself, but he didn't raise horses.

He thought about it for a while, he was worried that he would not be able to see his aunt, so he would sneak into the Heavenly King's Mansion first, and then nodded and said, "A month's salary, can there be...... Two hundred wen?"

"No problem! you come with me, get your shirt number plate and get to work. ”

Lu Ye looked at the three heroes of Fengchen, and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, you have become a person from the Heavenly King's Mansion now, looking back, who dares to bully our brothers on the streets of Ningzhou Mansion?"

Lu Ye nodded and said, "I'll come to you when I'm free." ”

Knife said excitedly: "We are looking for work on the dock during the day, and at night...... Most of them will be near the wide and narrow alleys in the east of the city. ”

Lu Ye wrote it down and said goodbye to the three heroes of wind and dust.

Xiaodao hugged his fists in a manner and said: "Brother, there are clouds and mountains in the rivers and lakes that do not turn around, and the roads do not turn around, and people do not turn, we will have a period later!"

Lu Ye smiled happily, and also hugged his fists and said: "There are still clouds in the rivers and lakes, once they are brothers, they are brothers for life, I will invite you to the restaurant another day!"
