Chapter 259: Temple Fair
Qingyang is about thousands of miles away from Luoyang, Zilong remembered the news of Wan'er in his heart, but he changed horses without changing people, it only took two days, and at dusk on the third day, he rushed to Luoyang.
At this time, winter has come, and Luoyang also happened to have a heavy snowfall.
There are not many pedestrians on the streets. Zilong didn't care about it, found the beggar gang and asked about Wan'er's news.
It's just that the person in charge of the beggar gang in Luoyang told Zilong that he saw Wan'er appear in Luoyang about five days ago, and then the news that Zilong was looking for Wan'er came, and he immediately mobilized his disciples to look for it, but he didn't find Wan'er.
When Zilong heard the news, his enthusiasm was instantly poured into his heart. When the helmsman of the beggar gang saw Zilong's appearance, he couldn't stop apologizing.
It's just that Zilong also knows that this fact doesn't do the helmsman's business, and he just listlessly rejected the helmsman's intention to keep him, and then walked slowly on the snowy street alone.
Just as he was walking through a few streets, and was about to continue to inquire about Wan'er's location, he heard a person behind him shouting: "Xu Shaoxia, Xu Shaoxia, please stay!"
Zilong listened to this voice, but knew that it was Yu Minghan, the helmsman of Luoyang, who was helping the beggars, and immediately turned around and found that it was Yu Minghan, who was dressed in a patch beggar's outfit, and walked quickly.
Zilong couldn't help but wonder, did this Yu Minghan have any news to tell him?
There are more than ten steps between the two, Yu Minghan is the helmsman of the beggar gang, and he is also the seven-bag disciple of the beggar gang, and his martial arts are also considered to be the realm of first-class masters in the rivers and lakes.
Therefore, these ten or so steps for him are only in a blink of an eye. This Yu Minghan came to Zilong and said with a smile: "Xu Shaoxia, fortunately I caught up with you!"
"Master Yu, what's the matter with you?" Zilong asked suspiciously.
"Luoyang is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, although my beggar gang is powerful, but it can't be said that all the Luoyang City has been searched! Since this Miss Wan'er came to Luoyang five days ago, it is very likely that she is still in Luoyang! After all, now that the road has been blocked by heavy snow, it is inconvenient for a girl to go on the road, so I think she is likely to spend the night somewhere!" Yu Minghan said slowly.
"Oh, then what does Lord Yu Helm mean?" Zilong was immediately overjoyed when he heard that Wan'er was very likely to be in Luoyang, but this Yu Minghan said that he couldn't find Wan'er before, so why did he say that now?
"Although my beggar gang searched in Luoyang and did not find Miss Wan'er, but there will be a grand event tomorrow, as long as Miss Wan'er is still in Luoyang, then she is very likely to participate in this grand event, and at that time, with the manpower of my beggar gang, it is not difficult to find Miss Wan'er in this grand event!"
Yu Minghan knew that Zilong was a friend of the beggar gang, so he could be regarded as doing his best, and he originally thought that Wan'er might have left Luoyang for so long.
Later, it was a clever disciple under him who reminded him that knowing this grand event, Wan'er was very likely to appear, so he came to inform Zilong with the mentality of giving it a try.
As for how sure this matter is, although Yu Minghan has no bottom in his heart, he is also confident that as long as Wan'er is still in Luoyang City, then it is very likely to participate in this grand event in Luoyang, as long as he participates in this grand event, then with the power of the beggar gang, he will definitely be able to find Wan'er.
"Oh, what kind of event?" Zilong was also quite strange when he heard this, and immediately asked.
"In some time, the New Year will be celebrated! Luoyang City will hold a grand temple fair at this time of year, and many rare and interesting things will appear at the meeting! Therefore, businessmen from all over the world will come here to buy New Year's goods! This temple fair is extremely lively, and there are a lot of interesting things, if Miss Wan'er is still in Luoyang, she will definitely go to the temple fair!" Yu Minghan said with a proud face.
"Temple fair?" Zilong couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard this, he has been lonely since he was a child, although he later made a lot of achievements due to fate, but this regular temple fair, but he has never participated in it.
Now that he heard it, he couldn't help but be fascinated.
"Well, Xu Shaoxia, you just stay for a day, if Miss Wan'er is not found at the temple fair tomorrow, then Miss Wan'er must have left Luoyang, and it is not too late for you to look elsewhere!" Yu Minghan saw Zilong's hesitation, and couldn't help but persuade.
Although Zilong didn't see Wan'er, but listening to what Yu Minghan said, most of this Wan'er didn't commit suicide, otherwise how could Yu Minghan see Wan'er five days ago?
Since Wan'er is okay for the time being, and there is no short-term view, Zilong is also a lot more relieved, and in a relaxed mood at the moment, he feels that since this temple fair is lively, with Wan'er's temperament, most of them will really participate.
In this way, with the power of the beggar gang, it is not difficult to find Wan'er!
Thinking of the excitement, Zilong was also happy, nodded immediately, and said: "So I will disturb Lord Yu Helm for one night, and please forgive Lord Yu Helm!"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Yu Minghan waved his hand and said, "Since Xu Shaoxia is willing to condescend to be noble, come to our beggar gang to be happy, but our beggar gang is too late to be happy!
"Okay! Lord Yu Helm, please lead the way!" Zilong raised his hand when he heard this, and said.
Yu Minghan led Zilong and walked back to the beggar gang.
After returning to the beggar gang rudder, Yu Minghan called out the person in charge of the beggar gang rudder and drank with Zilong for fun.
Although Zilong was worried about Wan'er in his heart, he had confirmed that Wan'er was safe for the time being, and he also let go a little, and immediately drank warmly with these beggars.
That night, Zilong stayed in the rudder of the beggar gang, waiting for the temple fair to start on the second day.
In the early morning of the same day, Zilong came to his senses as usual, went out early, and came to the courtyard to practice the Wuji Sword Technique.
Although he has a lot of mundane things, he knows that everything he has now is closely related to martial arts, and he has been practicing this martial arts diligently.
After practicing swordsmanship all the way, applause rang out, and Yu Minghan's voice came: "Xu Shaoxia's swordsmanship is a unique in the world!"
"Lord Yu Helm is too modest!" Zilong turned around and clasped his fists and said, "The subtlety of your gang's dog-beating stick technique is by no means under my swordsmanship!
Yu Minghan saw that Zilong still didn't smile yesterday, although he was also drinking with everyone for fun, but he never said much.
Early this morning, but it was able to do this, thinking that it was probably due to finding Wan'er.
At that moment, Yu Minghan sighed in his heart that Zilong had a deep affection for Wan'er, and said in his mouth: "Haha! That dog-beating stick method can only be learned by the elders of the Eight Bags! And the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending can only be practiced by our gang masters, and now it has reached the realm of supernatural transformation!"
"Brother Ren is a genius, and his martial arts are so high that they are rare in the world! Even if I face him, I can only lose!" Zilong couldn't help but sigh when he heard Yu Minghan mention Ren Bufan.
"Hehe, that's it, our gang leader is the best master in the world!" Yu Minghan gave a thumbs up, pointed to the north and said, "Okay, the hour is about the same, Xu Shaoxia, let's have breakfast, and I'll take you to the temple fair!" Now at this moment, our beggar disciples should have already arranged the temple fair site, as long as Miss Wan'er appears, we will definitely be able to receive the news!"
"Okay!" Zilong heard that it was possible to find Wan'er, his heart was hot, he nodded, and Yu Minghan turned back to the house, picked up the hot breakfast, and ate it.
People in the rivers and lakes don't have too many rules for eating, and they finish eating in a short time. Yu Minghan took Zilong, went out of the beggar gang to divide the rudder, and went to the temple fair.
The venue of this temple fair is in the flower land on the south bank of the Luo River.
Luoyang is the capital of peonies, and there are many flowers here, which sell well all over the country.
Although it is now frozen, there are not many flowers blooming in this flower production area.
However, Luoyang people love flowers and heavy flowers, so this temple fair is generally chosen in this flower production area.
Luoyang Yamen is also for this temple fair, specially renovated this flower production area, and now it has formed a large-scale town.
After Zilong and Yu Minghan left the beggar gang and split the rudder, they came directly outside the town.
Looking from afar, you can see that the crowd is boiling, and the entrance of the town is so crowded that you can't walk.
Zilong was a little dumbfounded when he saw such a beautiful scene.
Although he also went to the capital, he had seen the prosperity of the capital.
But this is the first time he has seen such a scene shoulder to shoulder.
Yu Minghan saw Zilong in a daze, and immediately said quite proudly: "This Luoyang temple fair is like this once a year, and it will be held until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year after the Spring Festival! During this period, there is no curfew here, but additional officials will be stationed there. So there are a lot of people coming and going here!"
"With so many people, can your gang really find out in time after Wan'er appears?" Zilong said with some doubts when he saw this scene.
"Although Xu Shaoxia is relieved!Although my beggar gang is in Luoyang with average power, it is impossible to really explore the whole city, but it is not too difficult for a temple fair to be completely under our control!" Yu Minghan heard some doubts from Zilong, and he was not angry at the moment, but just made a guarantee.
Zilong realized that he had said the wrong thing, and couldn't help but say with a little apology: "Lord Yu Helm, this is ...... I didn't mean to! It's just that there's a lot of people here......."
"Xu Shaoxia doesn't need to explain, I understand!" Yu Minghan originally thought that Zilong underestimated the strength of the beggar gang, but after Zilong's explanation, it all disappeared.
So the two of them walked and talked, and soon came to a tavern in the town.
