Chapter 47: The Great River Bay
"What do you think?" asked Zuo Chengwen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"There's always someone lying!" replied Qu Mingde.
Of course, this answer is not the same.
After Zuo Chengwen listened, he nodded and said, "Then it seems that Brother Qu is going to accompany me tonight to see the water faucet that Zhao Dart has never dealt with." ”
"They also called my name. But to be honest, I don't like the title of Chief Qu very much. ”
Zuo Chengwen listened to what Qu Mingde said without squeaking.
After a few more moments, he suddenly said loudly to his subordinates who were waiting outside the door, "Go to the door and replace my spear." ”
"Yes, flag bearer. The man received the order and immediately turned away.
At ten o'clock in the evening of the next day, Qu Mingde, Zuo Chengwen, and Zhao Zhong and other subordinates officially went to the banquet.
After they went out of the city, there were already people there to answer them. In the blink of an eye, everyone turned over and got on their horses, led by Zhao Zhong, and headed towards the dragon's house.
Twenty miles of official road is not far away for everyone who goes fast on horseback. Soon, a brightly lit spot appeared in the darkness.
There is no doubt that this is the residence of Huiyang waterway faucet.
A little closer, the horse's hooves were trampling on the top of a hill. Qu Zuo and the two reined in their horses and looked down from the only hill in the vicinity.
Zhao Zhong and the others of the Tiannan Dart Bureau naturally stopped after seeing their movements.
At this time, in front of them, there was a large field of lights.
This light stretches from the road to the Huishui, and under the cover of this dark night, the Huishui is still illuminated with phosphorescent light. , which directly reflects the terrain there.
It is a river bay formed by the twists and turns of Huishui, which is not small, and it is estimated that there must be a radius of four or five miles. But even though the place is big, the lights are also bright. It seems that if the other party either has too much spare money, or there are a lot of people living in it.
"Zhangqi, the manor below is where the residence of the Huiyang Waterway Faucet is located. At the same time, it is also the base camp of the concentration of power in the entire Huiyang waterway. Zhao Zhong waited for the two of them to look at it for a while, and then turned his head and said.
Looking at the lights, and then at the seven or eight disciples who followed behind him, Qu Mingde couldn't help but smile.
"Brother Zuo, it seems that we didn't come at the right time this time. Qu Mingde said.
"It's just going to a banquet, what's more, on the rivers and lakes, you never win or lose by numbers. Zuo Chengwen's spear was hung on the victory hook, and there was a faint arrogance in his words.
"It's better to be like that. Qu Mingde said.
As they spoke, a long dragon of fireworks appeared below.
Since the appearance of this dragon, it didn't take long for the effort to extend to the feet of Qu Mingde and his party.
"Dare to ask, but Xiao Bawang and Chief Qu have arrived?" The torches side by side parted, and a person came out of the middle and asked them.
Qu Mingde looked left and right, not knowing why the other party could find himself at this time.
"Could it be that there is a watchtower here?" he thought as he searched carefully downward, but unfortunately under the darkness of the night, even if the lights in the bay were brilliant, he could not see where the watchtower was.
When Qu Mingde was thinking about it, Zuo Chengwen had already replied: "I am in Xia and Brother Qu, this time I came to the door, and there was a lot of trouble. ”
"Don't dare, under the seat of the dragon's head, the left protector Tai Hongjun, the little overlord and the chief Qu came from afar, and if you miss the distance, please Haihan. The man said, and asked Zuo Chengwen and his party to extend their hands, and the torches side by side were suddenly separated from the beginning.
At this time, Qu Mingde looked carefully, only to find that from them to the gate of the manor, every other step, there were two people standing opposite each other with torches.
In this way, there are thousands of people standing in front of them.
"This is too exaggerated, how can the small Huiyang Waterway be able to feed so many people?" The question in Qu Mingde's heart was completely born as this pomp unfolded, and he couldn't get rid of it.
However, Zuo Chengwen didn't seem to be surprised by all this, kicked the horse's belly lightly, and immediately drove the horse slowly to follow under the faucet seat of the waterway, and behind the left protector Tai Hongjun, he walked towards the main gate of the manor.
After walking slowly for more than four hundred steps, at this time, it was seven or eight steps away from the main gate, and Zuo Chengwen turned over and dismounted.
Qu Mingde doesn't know this whole set of behaviors very well. Because since he came here, he has not officially visited the mountain gate of that family. However, although he didn't know, he made up an idea, that is, what Zuo Chengwen did, he would also follow.
So at this moment, after seeing Zuo Chengwen turn over and dismount, Qu Mingde also came down immediately. The same was true of all the people behind him.
The gate of the manor had already been opened, and when Zuo Chengwen dismounted, three or five people who had been standing at the door immediately greeted him.
"Xiaobawang's name is spread in Jiangzhou, and I only saw it today, which is really a blessing. First, a man in the prime of life with great momentum arched his hand at him Zuo Chengwen and said. Then he turned to Qu Mingde: "This is the famous Qu Mingde Qu Chief Qu, right? ”
Looking at the appearance of this person, if nothing else, it should be the owner of this manor, Qiu Bufan, the faucet of Huiyang Waterway.
Zuo Chengwen returned the salute, and Qu Mingde naturally would not lag behind.
The three of them stood at the door and exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Qiu Bufan said to the two: "Little Overlord, Chief Qu, I have prepared a little thin wine below, please inside." ”
The master invited, Qu Mingde and Zuo Chengwen naturally had no reason to refuse.
From beginning to end, Qiu Bufan did not say hello to Zhao Zhong, the head of the Huiyang branch of the Tiannan Dart Bureau, and he didn't even look at him.
Looking at Qiu Bufan's appearance, it was as if he didn't see Zhao Zhong, or that Zhao Zhong was not worth mentioning in his eyes at all.
But apparently this is not possible!
Even if the Tiannan Dart Bureau is weak in this Huiyang City, the background is there. The so-called skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and Zhao Zhong is also the main party at all, so there is no reason to be treated coldly like this.
But this is the case, even if Qu Mingde can't figure it out, it is impossible to ask at this time, so he just followed the guidance of the master and entered the hall in a muffled voice.
Qiu Bufan said that he prepared thin wine, but in fact, this wine and food were not only not thin at all, but also quite rich.
The only problem was that he didn't follow the usual rules and put the food and drinks on a large round table.
Zuo Chengwen, who had already stepped into the door half a step, couldn't help but pause after seeing this scene.
