Chapter 103: Return to Luoyang
Chapter 103 returns to Luoyang
"Finally arrived in Luoyang!"
Standing outside the city gate of Luoyang, Shu Lan couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in her heart.
The experience of going south this time can be described as twists and turns, especially the last journey, which is even more thrilling, but fortunately, everyone can get through it safely in the end, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune.
In the blink of an eye, Shu Lan casually glanced at the man in the truck behind her.
"Uncle Miao, Liang Guard, let everyone take inventory, let's go into the city!"
"Yes, miss. ”
......
After some tidying up, everyone walked into the city.
This is the north street of Luoyang City, the shops on both sides are lively, the passing cars and horses are endless, even the people in the rivers and lakes with weapons can be seen everywhere, there is really no taboo.
Seeing the prosperous atmosphere in front of them, everyone in the caravan felt a burst of relief in their hearts, and the smile they had not seen for a long time appeared on their faces again.
"Heh! ”
"Yes, yes, it's much more lively than we are Qingyang...... Look there, it's a big store, it's almost as big as our Chase main store. ”
......
"Ah, so many people in the rivers and lakes are here to participate in the martial arts conference!"
"Of course, otherwise, how could this commercial gathering be held in Luoyang, this is a huge business opportunity!"
......
"The girls in this big city are beautiful, and they are all beautiful. ”
"Hehe, when we go back this time, we will have money, and when the time comes, we will also take a beautiful daughter-in-law. ”
......
The guys in the caravan are basically coming to Luoyang for the first time, and seeing such a lively scene, it is inevitable that they will be a little dazzled and fantastic. However, in the hearts of ordinary people, they may only want a life of coarse tea and light food, they simply hope for peace and security, simple life, full food and warm clothing, and no unrealistic ideals...... This is the happiness they seek.
Looking around at everyone's expressions, Shu Lan smiled and said, "Brothers, these days have been really hard for everyone, Shu Lan is here to thank you." So, tomorrow is the day of the business house meeting, let's go eat something first, and then find an inn to stay, relax and prepare for it, I don't know what you think?"
"It's all up to the young lady to arrange. ”
"That's right, that's right, we all listen to Miss. ”
......
Liang Escort and the other guys echoed, and Uncle Miao asked: "Miss, I heard that this Luoyang is most famous for the "Welcome Guest House", not only the dishes are delicious, but the prices are also cheap, and you can also listen to books, drink tea and watch juggling, why don't we go there?"
"Very good!"
Shu Ran nodded and said, "The "Welcome Guest Building" is the industry of Ling Tong, the president of the Business Alliance, and it has always had an excellent reputation, so it is a good place to go. When we participated in the gathering of the firm this time, we inevitably had to bother others to help, and we should go to the cheering field to take a road. ”
"Okay, let's get on the road......
With a shout, Uncle Miao walked in front with the carriage, and Liang Escort and others followed closely with the goods.
In this way, a large group of people walked towards the end of the street.
......
――――――――――――
The "Welcome Building" is located in the middle of Chengnan Street, receiving guests from the south to the north. Over the years, under the "painstaking" management of Lingtong, the business of the guest building has become more and more prosperous, and the development has become more large-scale than at the beginning.
The architectural style of the guest house is classical and atmospheric, the decoration is mainly simple, and there are only two floors of the upper and lower floors, but it is the most in the whole Luoyang City. Because it integrates restaurants, teahouses, inns, juggling, and storytelling, it almost monopolizes the characteristics of several industries. Moreover, the consumption is different, and it can accept guests of all levels and different identities, which can be said to be truly civilian and popular, and it is not possible to think about it!
......
"Guests come like clouds to welcome guests, and friends from all over the world gather from all over the world. ”
Looking at the couplet in front of the door of "Welcoming the Guest Building", Shu Lan unconsciously admired on her face: "This welcoming the guest building is really interesting, there is everything to eat and play, and the management is only orderly, this Ling Tong is really a genius in business!"
When Uncle Miao heard this, he smiled honestly and said: "Our young lady is also a genius, she followed the master in business at the age of ten, and now she can stand alone." ”
Xiao Ying on the side echoed: "That's it, our young lady is simply a heroine among women, and Mulan is the most powerful in her reincarnation." ”
"Daddy......"
Thinking of her father, Shu Lan's heart was sour: "Uncle Miao will praise people, and Xiaoying is also an eccentric." I'm a genius somewhere, it's just a hard hold. If it weren't for the fact that Daddy had been unwell, the development of the Chase Chamber of Commerce would definitely be higher. Now I just hope that the Chase Chamber of Commerce will not be lost in my hands. ”
Xiao Ying stuck out her tongue lightly when she heard this, not daring to speak again.
Uncle Miao shook his head bitterly and said, "Uncle Miao watched Miss grow up, how could he not know Miss's ability." It's just that Miss has been under too much pressure over the years and has been too worried. ”
"So many people are counting on the Chase Chamber of Commerce to eat, Shu Lan doesn't want to disappoint them, these are what Shu Lan should do. ”
Shu Lan smiled indifferently: "Let's go, Uncle Miao, let's go and arrange the seats first." Xiao Ying, you are here to pick up Liang Escort and Tian to ask them, so as not to recognize the wrong way. ”
"Yes Miss. ”
As soon as Xiao Ying answered, she saw Tianwen running quickly behind her.
"Sister Lan......"
Tianwen took a breath and said, "Sister Lan, that person ...... The man moved. ”
"Moved, who moved?"
Shu Lan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "You mean that man?!"
Tianwen nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, as soon as we finished taking care of the goods, we saw the man get off the truck, and the Liang guard asked me to hurry up and deliver a message to see if I wanted to bring him." ”
The last time they encountered a bandit and were rescued, Shu Lan and Uncle Miao always suspected that the man was secretly helping, but the other party was in such a low state at that time, it was really difficult for them to ask anything.
"Miss......"
Uncle Miao looked at Shu Lan and said, "Shall we ask him directly?"
"This ...... Forget it!"
Shu Lan hesitated slightly, and finally shook his head and said: "If he doesn't want to say, let's not ask, whether it's him or not, as long as we are sincere, we will naturally be worthy of our hearts." ”
Tianwen faintly felt that something was not quite right.
Xiao Ying on the side couldn't understand what they were talking about at all, so she just said with a grin: "Miss, it's okay now, that wood is finally enlightened!"
Shu Lan was stunned: "Wood, what wood?"
Xiao Ying smiled and said: "It's that person we picked up, it's like wood, if he is enlightened, then one more person will be able to help in the future!"
Shu Lan frowned, and said unhappily: "You little girl, how can you name someone casually, it's too rude." Also, that big brother is not a member of our Chamber of Commerce, so don't talk nonsense in front of others. ”
Xiao Ying pursed her mouth, lowered her head and whispered: "What is it in the first place? Who told him not to move or speak all day, and he didn't know his name, and he didn't call him what the wood was called." ”
Uncle Miao also said angrily: "You little girl is really getting more and more presumptuous, you don't even listen to Miss's words, see if I don't clean you up!"
As he spoke, Uncle Miao was about to step forward to pinch the little girl's ears, but Tianwen hurriedly stepped forward and protected the little girl in front of him: "Uncle Miao is going to beat me, Xiaoying is weak and can't stand the beating, and she will be obedient in the future." ”
Looking at the honest young man in front of him, Uncle Miao said angrily: "What are you kid doing to make a fuss, get out of the way, be careful that Uncle kicks your ass!"
Seeing this, Shu Lan couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, okay, don't make trouble, this is on the street...... However, our Tianwen has really grown up and knows that it hurts people. ”
Tianwen shrank his neck when he heard this, and Xiao Ying behind him made a big red face.
"Uncle Miao, here you and Xiaoying make arrangements, and Tianwen and I will go and see the eldest brother. ”
Shu Lan made a decision and left with Tianwen.
......
――――――――――――
How much persistence does a person need to complete the road of life?
How much strength does a person need to carry the hope of life?
Standing in the sun, can you expel the dark shadow of your heart?
Is it true bravery to move forward despite all odds?
......
One question after another was repeated in Yue Fan's mind, as if he was drowning in a boundless sea of suffering, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get out.
His heart was silent in solitude...... Silence, the endless sea of bitterness is like an invisible giant hand, holding his destiny firmly, this painful feeling is about to suffocate him!
At this moment, everything in the world seems to have lost its color, but how to carry the weight of life?
In fact, Li Yuefan is just an ordinary person, a very ordinary person. Although he has more power than ordinary people, he also has the same emotions as ordinary people, if not richer.
Everyone has a time of confusion and hesitation, standing at the crossroads of life, who can make a choice without hesitation every time? After all, seven emotions and six desires are human nature, the key is detachment or addiction?
......
There is no pain, no sorrow, no joy, no remembrance.
Yue Fan stood on the lively street, looking at the passers-by coming and going, and a strange illusion was born in his heart, like the intersection of two different worlds. He is not a sentimental person, but he is melancholy at the moment.
When he left the memorial service, the feeling of exhaustion instantly eroded his body and mind, and he suddenly felt that he was so tired and tired! With every step, his body would be heavier, and he didn't know how far he could go, and he didn't know where he was ahead......
However, just when Yue Fan was confused, a group of energetic people appeared beside him.
It was a group of ordinary people who were running around for life, and in such a vast and troubled world, they were just a group of insignificant little people. But such a group of little people, in the face of the threat of death, they still insist on their own goals. They are full of love for life, they are full of hope for life, and although the road ahead is bleak, they have not chosen to retreat, nor have they chosen to give up...... Yes, they are like the stupidest people in the world, but they are the loveliest people in the world. Fear without flinching, persistence without giving up, simple and ordinary.
The Demon Gate and the Imperial Dynasty, that is not a force that can be easily shaken by one person, but it must be faced by itself.
A few days of confusion, a few days of silence, a few days of meditation, Yue Fan gradually came out of the shadows, and at the same time with incomparable determination and firmness!
......
Not far away, Shu Lan walked briskly. When she approached Yue Fan's side, she obviously felt the inexplicable changes in the other party's body.
"This big brother, you ...... Are you feeling better now?"
Shu Lan's tone was soft, for fear of disturbing the other party.
Yue Fan turned his head, and a delicate and feminine face came into view.
These days, although he is mentally disordered, he is still clear about the outside world. He knew that the girl in front of him was the one who kindly saved him. Although Yue Fan didn't think that he needed help from others at that time, he was still grateful in his heart. At least, the other party's kind heart deserves his respect.
"I'm fine, thank you. ”
Yue Fan's voice was slightly jerky, thinking that it was the reason why he hadn't spoken for a long time.
Hearing the other party's answer, Shu Lan couldn't help but be stunned. Because she didn't think that the other party would speak, she didn't react for a while, so she had to be stunned.
"What is this, what is it?"
Yue Fan stood with his hands in his hands, his back straight, and inadvertently revealed a kind of vicissitudes of reincarnation, infecting the people around him.
Shu Lan stood beside Yue Fan, feeling the most profoundly, and a strange feeling arose. The other party is not very old, but why does it make people feel vicissitudes? It's so strange!
Changing thoughts in his heart, Shu Lan still replied: "This is Luoyang, the famous capital of Luoyang." ”
"Luoyang ......"
Yue Fan looked around, and a subtle concern appeared in his heart. He remembered that he had been here ten years ago, but he didn't expect to be back here again ten years later.
Seeing that the other party was silent, Shu Lan smiled and said, "Little sister Shu Lan, I don't know what to call this eldest brother." ”
"Li ......"
Yue Fan stopped halfway through speaking, Shu Lan was also interested, and said, "Brother Li, we booked a banquet in the guest house, if you don't dislike it, let's get together with us!"
As she spoke, Shu Lan looked at each other with earnest eyes, and her heart was calm. At this time, even if he is a blind man, he can see the difference between Yue Fan, as a successful businessman, Shu Lan naturally wants to make friends.
"Luoyang...... Welcome to the guest house ......"
Yue Fan was not polite, and nodded directly.
......
――――――――――――
It is surrounded by guest buildings, and there is a large platform with a height of half a foot in the middle patio.
On this platform, an old man in white with white eyebrows and white beard sat leisurely on the old rattan chair, enjoying the sweetness brought by the fragrance of tea.
It is said that he had studied books in the Hanlin Academy, and later resigned from his official position to become a teacher, and now he has actually started the storyteller.
......
It was noon, and it was the busiest time for the guest house.
The old gentleman counted the hours and felt that it was almost over, so he put down the tea bowl, got up and walked slowly to the bookcase.
"Smack-"
There was a startled sound, and I was ready to speak.
When everyone saw it, they stopped all kinds of movements very tacitly, and the originally noisy guest house suddenly became a lot quieter.
"Ahem!"
The old gentleman cleared his throat, picked up the big folding fan on the bookcase and shook it, and said casually: "Today, the old man doesn't talk about books......
"Coax-"
The surrounding audience was in an uproar!
After a gimmick for a long time, and a big score for a long time, he actually held back such a sentence, which naturally provoked everyone to scold.
You say, you're a storyteller, what do you say if you don't tell a story?
Seeing that the crowd was angry, the old gentleman laughed even more happily: "Everyone live and live...... Although the old man doesn't talk about books today, the old man wants to tell you a piece of news today......"
"Fuck, what's such great news?!"
"yes! What news? It can't be your old mussel with a pearl, right? hehe!"
"Hahaha-"
The voices of ridicule and scolding came and went, but the old gentleman didn't care, but said lightly: "Of course this news is remarkable...... Just the night before, the palace was burned......"
"If you burn it, you burn it, what's ......?"
The voice stopped abruptly, and the person who was still laughing and scolding just now opened his mouth wide, and the expression on his face was as ugly as eating a dead fly.
"The Royal Palace...... Burned ......"
"Old man, you ...... What do you say?!
"What?!The palace was burned, who did it?!"
"Even the palace dares to burn, damn it, this hero's courage is also great!"
"Old man, don't talk nonsense, be careful of losing your head!"
"The capital is 108,000 miles away from us, how did you know about the fire you set off the night before so quickly?"
"That's it, old man, you're bragging again, aren't you? It's not funny at all. ”
......
The word "suspicion" was written on everyone's faces, and they did not believe that the palace had been burned down at all, and even if anyone had the courage to do so, they had to have the ability to do so! How could it be said that the land of imperial power for hundreds of years could be burned if it was burned? If it was said that there was a fire, everyone still felt more credible.
In the face of everyone's doubts and blows, the old gentleman not only bowed his head, but raised his neck and said proudly: "Look! All of them are stupid, right? I haven't seen it, do you? Do you know what it means to pass a book for a thousand miles? The old man has an eyeliner and lives in the palace, but I spent a lot of money to receive this news." It's not that the old man is boasting, the news in my hand is definitely first-hand, even those big power sects don't know the details of the old man. ”
What the old gentleman said is clear-eyed, and the head is the way, so you can't believe it.
For a while, the entire guest building was cold, and everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and their eyes were full of consternation!
"Sir, tell me what's going on!"
"Yes, yes, old gentleman, tell me quickly. ”
"If the old gentleman is right, we will give you more money. ”
"Yes, that's right. ”
......
These voices in the crowd were the fiercest ones who roared just now. Now not only is he polite, but even his title has been changed from "old man" to "old man", which has attracted a burst of contempt from everyone.
"Since everyone wants to hear it, then the old man will talk about it......"
The old gentleman looked like he was going to die, and the hated people were itching. Still, they pricked up their ears and listened intently, for fear of missing any of the highlights. I have to say, some people are really cheap, and they have to scold and listen.
"Smack-"
The startling wood sounded again, only to hear the old gentleman's voice say in a low voice: "On a dark and windy night, a figure suddenly appeared in the palace, and that figure galloped all the way, like entering a no-man's land, went straight to the depths of the palace, and finally landed on the top of the Forbidden City. Wait for the figure to listen, take a closer look, who are you?"
"Who is it?" said the crowd.
The old gentleman's voice trembled, and he said in a slightly surprised tone: "What?!That person turned out to be a beautiful young man...... It's hard to imagine that such a young man dares to go straight to the palace alone, what does he want to do?!"
"yes, what does he want to do?" the crowd cooperated again.
The old gentleman said in a gloomy tone: "That's right, he is here to kill someone, and the person he wants to kill is today, Emperor Tianwu......"
"What?!Assassination of the Emperor?!"
"He wants to kill the emperor, it seems that he has eaten the gall of the bear's heart and leopard!"
"I heard that the emperor's martial arts are very powerful......"
"Not only is it powerful, it is simply boundless, I heard that even the iron-blooded alliance leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance may not be able to beat him. ”
"Ahh
"But that kid burned down the palace......"
"Huh?"
......
There was an uproar all around, and everyone turned their heads to each other.
The old gentleman cleared his throat and continued: "The young man broke into the palace, which naturally alarmed the guards in the palace, so the two sides inevitably fought...... This young man is very powerful, he is like a dragon, he uses his fists and feet together, and every step he takes will beat those guards to the ground...... In just one cup of tea, the boy knocked down all the guards. Immediately afterwards, the Praetorian Guards and the Divine Crossbow Battalion came one after another to surround the Youth League...... At this time, the form is critical, what should the teenager do?"
"And what happened later?" the atmosphere was tense, and everyone couldn't help but ask.
"Later......
The old gentleman whetted everyone's appetite, drank the fragrant tea unhurriedly and said: "Seeing that he was about to fall into danger, the young man suddenly jumped into the air, holding a bone fight in his hand that he didn't know where to take it out...... I saw a cloud of white light fall from the sky and smash to the ground, and all the Praetorian Guards and Sharpshooters fell, without exception. ”
"Wow-"
The surrounding exclamations continued, and the old gentleman continued: "Just after those shrimp soldiers and crab generals were all eliminated, Emperor Tianwu finally appeared. He and the boy stood on the top of the Forbidden City, and a shocking battle broke out......"
What is the darkness of the sky! What is the sun and the moon without light! What the wind and clouds are changing! What is the peerless!
The old gentleman's mouth was like a river, and he said that the sky was falling and the spit was flying...... It was as if everything was seen with his own eyes, and when he talked about the excitement, he yelled and screamed, and his demeanor was completely lost. It's hard to imagine that such a person was once a teacher.
However, everyone in the guest building listened to it as if they were there.
......
"Smack!"
There were three shocking sounds, and the old gentleman ended satisfied: "Today, the old man will talk about this, I hope that everyone who has money will have a money field, and those who have no money will borrow money to hold a money field." ”
"Shh
......
