Chapter 26: The Battle of the City Lords

Li Feiying and Qiao Ling'er and their entourage finally arrived at Lizhou City, and then Li Feiying led the horse and Qiao Ling'er, Qiao Wu, and Steward Zeng entered Lizhou City, and there were no guards in this city Looking at the city, Li Feiying felt a little strange, and then asked Steward Zeng: "Steward Zeng, why is this city unguarded?"

Steward Zeng said with a smile: "Originally, it should have been handled by the people of the City Lord's Mansion, but I heard last time that this Lizhou City is running for the city lord, so it is estimated that the current city lord did not send his own people to guard this city wall." ”

Li Feiying nodded after listening, and Qiao Ling'er said with a smile: "Brother Feiying, then we will have fun here." ”

Qiao Wu stood behind them and didn't say anything. Li Feiying said to Steward Zeng: "Steward Zeng, since you have been here before, then take us to find an inn to live in." ”

Steward Zeng said with a smile: "Okay, there is a Penglai inn in front, and it is a relatively good inn in Lizhou City." ”

Li Feiying smiled and nodded, and then the four of them led the horse to the Penglai Inn, and after the four of them handed the horse to the shopkeeper, they entered the inn, and the four of them first sat at the dining table on the first floor of the store, Li Feiying sat down and said: "Steward Zeng, you know this Lizhou City, then tell us about the things in this city." ”

Steward Zeng said: "Lizhou City is a big city in this area, and there are basically villages all around. The original city lord's mansion was Ouyang Fu, and he was also good at kung fu, and he was regarded as the number one person in Lizhou City, but after a family also advanced to this Lizhou City two years ago, Ouyang Fu was not so easy, because this family also moved from Chang'an City, it seems that it is called the Wang family, and there is also a sect in Chang'an City. ”

Li Feiying read the Wang family in his mouth, and then looked at Qiao Ling'er, Qiao Ling'er also looked at him, but shook his head and said: "I don't know which sect this Wang family is, but if I haven't heard it, it should be a small sect." ”

Li Feiying smiled and motioned to Steward Zeng to continue, and Steward Zeng then continued: "Wang Ying, the head of this Wang family, is even better at kung fu, he has fought with Ouyang Fu before, and Ouyang Fu is not his opponent. ”

At this time, the shopkeeper came over with tea and asked them what they wanted to eat, and then Li Feiying asked the shopkeeper with a smile: "Xiaoer, what do you have to eat here?"

The shopkeeper reported the names of the dishes, Li Feiying was dumbfounded, just now I only heard the shopkeeper say a lot of dish names as if he was singing, and he didn't hear a few names.

Qiao Ling'er, who was on the side, smiled and said to the shopkeeper, "Little Er, then you can bring your best signature dish up." The shopkeeper nodded in agreement, then turned around and walked inside.

Li Feiying looked at Qiao Ling'er and asked, "Ling'er, did you hear the name of the dish that Xiao Er said just now?" Qiao Ling'er smiled and said, "I don't have either, but it's good to listen to that Xiao Er's smooth mouth." Hey. ”

Li Feiying smiled and said, "Then you will give me the silver, we haven't ordered anything yet?"

Qiao Ling'er rolled her eyes and said, "Are you still a man? When I finished saying this, I remembered that I was a woman disguised as a man, and I said it wrong.

At this time, several guests at the other table looked over here, and the housekeeper immediately scolded the guests at the tables over there: "What do you see, haven't you seen our son-in-law come here to eat?"

Qiao Wu sat there laughing. Qiao Ling'er sat there and lowered her head, while Li Feiying said with a smile: "Okay, let's eat first, then go for a walk on the street, and come back and rest early." ”

Qiao Ling'er raised her head and looked at him and said, "Let's go shopping on the street and do something." ”

Li Feiying smiled and said, "Go and inquire about the current news of this city, if you are tired, you can go and rest first." Qiao Ling'er said with a dissatisfied face: "I'm going to follow, wherever you go, I'll follow." Li Feiying smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat first." ”

While they were talking, the shopkeeper had already brought the food to the table. Qiao Wu also asked the shopkeeper to bring two catties of good wine from their store at this time, and the shopkeeper went to get the wine, and after a while, he brought the wine, and Qiao Wu poured wine for the four of them.

Li Feiying looked at Qiao Ling'er and said, "If you can't drink, don't drink." Qiao Ling'er smiled, since she picked up the wine in the wine glass and drank it in one sip.

Li Feiying shook his head and smiled, and then he started eating, and during the meal, he asked Steward Zeng about the current situation of Lizhou City, and after the four of them were full of wine and food, they then asked the shopkeeper to lead them to the guest room, Steward Zeng and Qiao Wu had one room, and Li Feiying and Qiao Ling'er each had one room. After the four of them put their luggage, they then left the guest room at the same time and came to the door of the inn, where Steward Zeng took the lead, followed by Li Feiying, Qiao Ling'er and Qiao Wu.

Li Feiying saw that the street was very lively, and this city was also a very popular city, and there were still many people strolling on the street in the evening. They walked all the way, and saw that the restaurant on the street was full of people, and the most lively place in the city was Yihong Courtyard, Qiao Linger walked in front of Li Feiying, and then the housekeeper Zeng said to her: "Madam, this Lizhou City is the most lively on this street, and the east one is where the city lord's mansion is located, so it is not as lively as here." To the west is the residence of the royal family, which is also very quiet. ”

Qiao Linger smiled and glanced at Li Feiying, and Li Feiying scolded Steward Zeng, don't call people around. Butler Zeng was a little confused, thinking that Qiao Ling'er lived in the cave mansion of the big boss, shouldn't she be called Mrs.

Qiao Wu laughed behind them. Li Feiying stepped forward and said to Steward Zeng: "Steward Zeng, let's go and sit in that restaurant over there." ”

Then the four of them walked into this restaurant called Wangcai, Qiao Linger looked at the name of the hotel very strangely, but she didn't say anything and followed in.

When they entered the restaurant, they heard a table of guests talking about the battle of the city lord tomorrow, they found an empty table and sat down, just asked for a few side dishes and a pot of wine, Li Feiying heard a young man at the next table say: "Do you know which one will win the battle of the city lord tomorrow?"

Qiao Ling'er saw that there were three people at the young man's table, and they were talking about the battle of the city lords. Li Feiying smiled, picked up a glass of wine and drank it, only to hear the man sitting opposite the young man say: "Needless to say, it must be the head of the Wang family, and the city lord of Ouyang is not the opponent of the head of the Wang family." ”

Another man said: "That's not necessarily, I heard that the city lord Ouyang invited a martial artist from Chang'an City for this city lord dispute, I think this city lord battle must be interesting." ”

At this time, the young man said: "Don't look at the head of the Wang family, he is very powerful, but he didn't succeed in the battle of the city lord last year. ”

Another man said, "Then let's go to the top of the mountain tomorrow and see the results of their competition." ”

Then they ate and drank at the same table, and a few people left the restaurant. Li Feiying heard that it was a martial arts competition on the top of the mountain, and then he called Xiao Er to the shop and asked, "Xiao Er, do you know where tomorrow's battle of city lords will be?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "I think this guest officer should have just arrived, these days, the battle between the city lords has been spreading in our city, and tomorrow's martial arts competition will be on the Lingshan next to our city." ”

Li Feiying asked, "Xiao Er, is this Lingshan the top of this mountain in the upper reaches of the Lingjiang River?"

The shopkeeper nodded and then said: "This guest officer, tomorrow you can follow the people out of the city to see the battle of the city lord, most of the people who will go out of the city tomorrow will go to Lingshan, you can go together by asking them then." Li Feiying sighed.
