Ye Li stood on the moon tower by Taihu Lake, looking into the distance, and the endless lake surface was as smooth as a mirror. A gust of spring breeze blows, and the lake is like a demure woman, dressed in the world-famous lake embroidery, but her clothes are gently wrinkled by the naughty boy.

Such a beautiful scenery should make people feel refreshed.

Ye Li didn't have such feelings. This situation reminded him of the small island in the East China Sea, the cliff that he often climbed, and the middle-aged man with a stern face.

He suddenly began to feel nostalgic for the past, and began to miss the years when he was chopping wood on the island.

The shepherds are feasting.

In front of him was the famous Taihu Lake Sanbai, and he couldn't resist the temptation of deliciousness, and kept stuffing those fish and shrimp into his mouth.

Ximen Fugui was not here, he took the injured Lu Qingyang and returned to his hometown in Gusu City together.

............

Wuxing City is built near the lake, about five miles to the east, is Banhu Bay. From here, all idle people are prohibited from entering.

Mujian Villa is located in the bay of the half lake, occupying the view of the half lake.

This mountain villa is extremely ancient, and I don't know how many years it has been passed down and how many dynasties it has gone through.

But no matter how the dynasties in Jiangnan change, it doesn't matter whether the surname of the son of heaven is Liu or Xiao, he is very respectful to Mujian Villa. There are two reasons: first, the ancestors of the Mu family trained all the people of the Mu family to cultivate swords wholeheartedly, and they were not allowed to participate in the government politics;

If such a powerful force with deep roots does not take the initiative to provoke it, who will have nothing to do to provoke it?

In the previous dynasty, Emperor Taizu, the founder of the country, in order to envelop the Mu family, actually gave this Wuxing City to the Mu family as a mining town. Later, the Great Qi usurped the previous dynasty and continued this rule.

It's just that the core characters in the villa can't go out of seclusion all year round, and they are dedicated to cultivating swords and are isolated from the world. All the mundane affairs of the villa are taken care of by the outer disciples.

Therefore, although Wu Xingcheng also had a taishou sent by the imperial court, it was just an ornament. In a radius of 100 miles on the shore of Taihu Lake, the real master is still Mujian Villa.

............

Wuxing City is a small city, if it weren't for the fact that Mujian Villa is here, and the reputation of Taihu Lake Sanbai, it is difficult for people to know. Even so, it is rare to see a few living people in the city on weekdays.

In the past few days, there have been a lot of people in the city, and it is obvious that these people have come here for the same purpose, that is, the sword test conference.

The originally quiet streets and alleys in Wuxing City began to be noisy, and the busiest ones were naturally those inns and wine shops. Looking at the guests who were still entering the city, the smiles on the faces of the shopkeepers did not stop, and he said in his heart that if this sword trial conference was held once a year, no, it was better to hold it every day.

Wangyue Tower is the best restaurant in Wuxing City, and when you open the small window, you can see the beautiful scenery of Taihu Lake. Therefore, the busiest place in Wuxing City is the inn wine shop, and the busiest place in the inn wine shop is naturally Mochizuki Tower.

The private rooms on the second floor were already full, and the lobby on the first floor was also crowded.

Shepherd seems to have a natural ability to find the best position no matter where he is. What's more, he carried in his arms the three thousand taels of silver that Simon Fugui gave when he was leaving, and this skill was even more handy.

Originally, it was a seat for four people, but it was occupied by two people, Shepherd and Ye Li, and it was still the best location near the lake, and anyone looked a little arrogant. Those six or seven people crowded into a small table had long been a little angry, but this was Wu Xingcheng, and no one wanted to make trouble under the eyelids of Mujian Villa for the trivial matter of eating and drinking.

In fact, it is not only the shepherds who are arrogant, but also the guests who are even more arrogant than him.

Because the man occupied a seat exclusively, and it was also near the window, even better than the position of the shepherd, and it was the best position in the Moon Tower.

That person was only about the same age as Ye Li, but he was born with clear eyebrows, but he didn't know what troublesome things he encountered, so he had a handsome face and kept drinking. Southerners are not good at drinking, so Wuxing's unique lake spring green is not very intoxicating. But the young man seemed to have a very shallow amount of alcohol, and when he took a sip of the lake, there was a hint of blush on Jun's face.

Some people have long seen that he occupies such a good position alone, so they want to discuss with him to change seats. The young man didn't answer, but rolled his vaguely hazy drunken eyes, and still lowered his head and drank the stuffy wine. Those high-rollers were naturally unhappy in their hearts, but when they thought that this was Wu Xingcheng, they had to walk away stupidly.

............

Suddenly a few strange people came up on the second floor.

The middle-aged man led by him is not unusual, wearing a cardigan, looking ordinary, and wearing the outfit of a large family.

He was followed by a few retinues, all holding different things in their hands. Some pick a burden, one end contains a food box, the other end contains pots and pans, if it is a street selling omnivorous, the food box is very exquisite, I am afraid that even the Taishou Mansion can not be found.

Some of them were carrying cages, which seemed to be carrying clothes. Although I can't see the things inside, just look at the wooden box, which is trimmed with fine red sandalwood pure gold, which is very valuable.

Others were holding a dog, and when they looked closely, they were white-faced foxes with fine hair.

It looks like someone has moved. But if it's a move, how did you move to the Moon Tower?

What's even more strange is that there are people holding a copper basin in the back, a basin of water, and a hand cloth as white as snow.

"I've long heard that Mochizuki Tower is an elegant place, but who knew that when I saw it today, it was as noisy as that city. The middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper just poked his head out of the corridor, so he frowned and shook his head and said, "In such a place, Childe is afraid that he will not like it when he sees it." ”

The entourage who was carrying the food box said: "But the prince specified that he wanted to taste Taihu Sanbai, and he wanted this Moon Tower." If it was in Hubei, it might be possible to drive these people out, but here's ......"

The middle-aged steward understood what he meant, and didn't say anything more, looking at the full second floor, his brows furrowed even more. When he saw his handsome young man, his eyes lit up, "This position is not bad, and if you use a screen to separate it, you can also settle when the son comes." Go to the shop and bring a screen up, the elements are more elegant, that is the vulgar boy does not like it. ”

So he paced to the table of the handsome young man, raised his hand slightly, and his tone was quite polite, "This son, I have a lot of companions here, can you change your seat?"

The young man did not seem to hear the words of the middle-aged steward, and still drank alone, and seemed to be even more drunk.

The middle-aged steward frowned and repeated what he had just said.

This time, the boy heard this, rolled his drunken eyes, and did not answer, and continued to bow his head and drink.

The middle-aged steward's face finally sank, and he wanted to have a seizure, but he still held back.

He took out a silver ingot from his arms, touched about ten taels, and slapped it on the table with a snap, "Although this ingot of silver is not much, it is still enough to compensate the son for this table of wine and food." ”

The middle-aged steward said in his heart, there are only three or two dishes in front of you, plus two pots of old wine, but a few dollars of silver. Ten taels of silver here, this is enough to eat dozens of tables, what reason do you have not to get out of the way?

The young man didn't even bother to look at him, and only cared about drinking.

The middle-aged steward's entourage couldn't help it, thinking that with the identity of his own son, even if this is Wuxing City, Mujian Villa will have to give some face. Now this kid is just an irrelevant person, and the villa will not come to embarrass the son for this little thing.

So he had to step forward and start to kill people.

The steward stopped his hand and lowered his voice slightly, "My son-in-law has taken a fancy to your position, and I hope that my son-in-law can be an adult, so as not to sweep everyone's Yaxing." Although the words were polite, the tone was very cold, revealing a clear threat.

This time the boy finally reacted, still rolling his drunken eyes, but when he saw those strange guys, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Interesting and interesting, this Moon Tower has been open for decades, and now it's going to change owners, so it's moving over?"

The laughter suddenly stopped, and he asked with some curiosity: "Your son-in-law, what is it?"

Hearing the young man's insult to his son-in-law, the middle-aged steward finally became really angry, and no longer spoke, but just glanced at the entourage next to him. Even if this is Wu Xingcheng, he is ready to teach this young man who doesn't know what to do.

"His son-in-law is just a mere thing, but it's not a thing. A suave voice came from downstairs, and the tone sounded very easy-going, and in a moment it was on the second floor.
