Luoyang is one of the most prosperous places in the country. Since ancient times, it has been a commercial metropolis and has flourished everywhere. There are many flowers in Luoyang, and the city is full of fragrance all year round. Not to mention the graceful and luxurious peony, the unique fragrance of orchid grass, the purple and red moon season, the cold plum with proud snow and frost, and the slim water hibiscus in summer, people have to marvel at this masterpiece of nature.

In June, the wind filled Los Angeles. The enthusiastic summer breeze brings infinite vitality to the plant, so that the vitality of spring and autumn brewing in the plant is all radiated, and there are thousands of flowers everywhere. The flowers of Luoyang also fascinate countless people. Even a few years later, there are still many literati and writers who have left poems about flowers here.

Who doesn't love Luoyang flowers, occupy the good things in the city.

Once a guest for Luoyang flowers, Ye Fang doesn't need to sigh even though it's late!

But in June, the best thing to see is the lotus flowers.

It's summer, so of course lotus flowers can be seen everywhere.

It's summer, but there are no lotus flowers in Luoyang.

If even Lu Bochuan and Lu Yuanwai's house on the shore of Bihai Lake can't see the lotus flowers, then in the entire Luoyang City, I'm afraid no one can enjoy the dignified and beautiful scene.

Of course, Jiang Yuebai couldn't see it.

The lotus flowers in the entire Luoyang City disappeared overnight, leaving only a mess of lotus ponds that showed decay.

Jiang Yuebai was walking on the tree-lined path leading to Luoyang, while thinking of Luoyang City to find out. It's not that he doesn't want to take the big road, he just doesn't feel comfortable taking the big road because he has to accept the gaze of passers-by.

The eyes of passers-by were not so much focused on him as on his sword.

There are many types of swords. And Jiang Yuebai's sword is the most distinctive one. At least, very few people go out with wooden swords.

He was not very old, in his twenties, dressed in a pale green shabby robe, and his whole body was dirty, as if he had just come out of the beggars' pile. The beards on his face are intertwined like a sleeping dragon, and his whole body looks down. The smile on his face, which did not match his own, also seemed a little sympathetic.

But the most attractive thing about him must be his eyes. His eyes are as clear as a wash, giving people a feeling of emptiness and vitality, as if he can hold all the things in the world and accommodate all the changes in the heart.

At this time, if you look at his face again, no one will definitely show a sympathetic look. It's not so much that it won't, it's better to say that it doesn't dare.

Sympathy has always been a kind of contempt for the weak by the strong. Those so-called strong people will only put away their tails and lower their posture in front of people who are stronger than themselves.

Is Jiang Yuebai a strong man? This is really hard to say. At least, he's more special than anyone else. Therefore, if anyone wants to look at him with the eyes of a worldly peddler and pawn, it is really self-deprecating.

Xiong Laosi, one of the five evils in Luoyang, is a person who is boring to himself.

"Stop!" Xiong Laosi suddenly burst out of the arbor on the side of the road, and these two words popped out from the horizontal flesh on his face. At the same time, Jiang Yuebai also sensed that there were at least twenty killers in ambush nearby. But not only did he not panic, but he was even scratching his hair, and the smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest.

"What are you doing?" he replied after a few seconds of silence.

"Friend, are you going to Luoyang City this time?" Xiong Lao Si smiled maliciously.

"Exactly. ”

"Then friend, please go back, so as not to cause more trouble. ”

"Oh, but I have a nosy habit below, and I heard that there have been great changes in Luoyang City, and I want to find out. ”

"Yes, then you just toast and don't eat and drink. Before Xiong Laosi finished speaking, more than 20 black-clothed killers with tense swords quickly got up from the side of the road, with knives, guns, sticks, and clubs, and even many weapons from the outer door. "Don't blame me for not reminding you, can your broken wooden sword block so many elite weapons? ”

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuebai smiled even more and said, "I don't seem to be planning to use it." ”

"I don't have the time to talk to you, on!"

Between the lightning and flint, there were at least eight different hidden weapons, and dozens of blades parried Jiang Yuebai together, but Jiang Yuebai still had no intention of pulling out the wooden sword. Xiong Laosi looked at him contemptuously, as if he was looking at a madman who was dying.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed.

What a quick light!

No one could see what was happening, only to see that the twenty or so well-armed killers all fell, whimpering on the ground. And Jiang Yuebai was still motionless.

Xiong Laosi was already trembling at the moment, but he could barely stand firm, "Dare to ask Your Excellency who sent a master?"

Jiang Yuebai yawned lazily and said, "There is no door, no faction, no teacher." ”

Xiong Laosi's original face was like a heavy jujube, but now he has a green face and a white face. Half frightened, half angry. has been walking the rivers and lakes for decades, and it was planted on a hairy boy.

Jiang Yuebai didn't wait for him to answer, and still walked in the direction of Luoyang City, as if nothing had happened.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed, as if he had encountered something filthy. He quickly turned his body, and at some point there was an extra leaf in his hand, and flew in the direction of Xiong Laosi.

Another light!

Xiong Laosi's "Soul Nail", the secret weapon that made him famous, is said to be no longer under the "Meridian Soul Booster Sand" that dominated the scene. But as soon as it touched Jiang Yuebai's leaves, it was like soft mud, and all of them were shot down to the ground. With the remaining strength, the leaves broke through Xiong Laosi's shoulder armor and smashed into his collarbone. He watched the blood gurgle out, but he didn't feel any pain. Was it too fast for the nerves to feel it, or was he so scared that it wouldn't hurt?

"Luoyang Wusha, you are all innocent of death. But God will decide, and he can't dirty my hands. ”

Jiang Yuebai, who was speaking at this moment, had disappeared without a trace, only his voice was still echoing in the woods.

"It's scary...... internal forces. Xiong Laosi swallowed a mouthful of blood, looked at the path he had traveled and said, "However, even if you have Tongtian itself, you have to drop a handful of bones in Luoyang City." He looked at the wound on his chest and sneered.

......

After a long time, Jiang Yuebai finally arrived in Luoyang City.

An empty city.

Houses were closed, and there wasn't even a single cat on the empty streets.

Fortunately, there will always be some people who will not get along with money.

There are such people in all eras, as long as you have money, they can be willing to be your grandchildren, and even ask them to bite open and gnaw the flesh and blood of their own grandchildren, and gnaw their bones. But when you run out of money, what they want to gnaw on is naturally your bones. They are like insatiable bloodsampires, and when they have enough blood, new bloodsuckers will parasitize them, and the cycle continues.

Therefore, the life of rich people is always very comfortable.

Therefore, the days of rich people will also be full of fear.

Jiang Yuebai is often a poor person. His money comes and goes quickly, but in general, it is better to go a little faster than to come, and it is not much, only ten times faster.

But, at least for now, I am lucky that Jiang Yuebai still has some money on him.

The night before leaving Kaifeng, he gambled with the Hanzhong giant rich "Li Million" in Kaifeng Mansion for a whole night, until Li Million's face turned blue when he lost, and his hands trembled like convulsions.

It is said that after Li Million went home, he rested for three full days before he recovered, but he just woke up and was scolded by his wife and fainted. After all, not everyone can export more than 400,000 snowflakes of silver overnight.

Although a few days ago it coincided with the flooding of the Yellow River, he casually donated nearly 300,000 taels, but the remaining money is estimated to be enough for him to squander for a while.

So he walked with his head down to the largest inn in the city, like a beggar who had been hungry for days.

Sure enough, there are still people who are busy trying to make money.

"Stop! What are you doing?" the little guy who was not tall and had a shiny face drank him down.

Before Jiang Yuebai could speak, he waved his hand again and said, "Go and go, go and ask for food elsewhere, bad luck." ”

Jiang Yuebai smiled, it should be said that he was laughing all the time.

"Would you like to come in and have a drink?" Although the inn was full of tables and chairs, there were not many people, and the scattered five people each occupied a table, and they didn't seem to know each other. At the innermost table sat a young man dressed in brocade, holding a gold-sprinkled folding fan, and asked Jiang Yuebai with a smile.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey" Jiang Yuebai raised her head and walked straight towards the young man in fancy clothes, and the four people in the room covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves and cast disgusted glances at him.

Jiang Yuebai sat down at him and began to look secretly.

The young man's facial features are exquisite, his complexion is white and tender, and his face has a slight flush, so he is not handsome. His almond eyes, even a woman will be jealous when she sees it. But he's a man.

"Brother, please. While he was still thinking about it, the young man in brocade had already poured the wine.

Jiang Yuebai raised his glass and drank it all. "Well, good wine, thirty years of bamboo leaves...... By the way, dare to ask Brother Taizun's surname?"

"Under the surname Lu, a person from Luoyang. I don't know how ...... brother."

"Jiang ...... The river of the river. Jiang Yuebai continued, "I just learned that Brother Tai is from Luoyang, dare to ask Brother Tai if he knows what happened in this city and why it is so deserted?"

"Okay, no, the Sprinkle family is impatient. A big man in sackcloth in front of the table next to him broke the silence at this time, he glared at the young man in brocade, "If you don't give an answer, you will ...... the family."

"This ...... I also know a little bit about the down, please wait for the time being, and then talk about it in detail. After Lu Gongzi finished speaking, he turned his head to the others.

"Yes, I know that you are all masters in the world, and I have something to ask for when I call you here. But the situation is exceptional, so you have to be more careful. ”

"So...... You can't trust us anymore. The gray-robed Taoist at the other table swallowed slowly, and said in a hoarse voice, "So, what do you want?"

"Hmph!" the other white-clothed swordsman sneered, "Even so, it's not a matter of one thing to be spared when you fall down, take your leave!"

With that, he walked away without looking back.

"Actually, you should know...... Without us, hmph, even if your dad has more money, wait until tomorrow night...... Hum. She was followed by a graceful woman, and her voice was not unpleasant, but it felt strange, even stranger than her pockmarked face. Before leaving, she secretly threw a wink at Jiang Yuebai, which made him very uncomfortable.

Finally, all four of them were gone, leaving only Jiang Yuebai and Lu Gongzi with a melancholy face.

"Now...... You can tell me what's going on, Miss Lu. ”

Jiang Yuebai still spoke, he didn't want to speak.

"You...... How do you ......"

The young man in brocade was surprised, and he didn't know how to show his feet.

Her voice is so good, as graceful as the Yellow Warbler in the Hollow Valley. This even Jiang Yuebai was a little surprised.

Jiang Yuebai coughed and replied slowly, "You don't care how I know, just rely on your glass of wine, I'll take care of your affairs." ”

He sold another full glass of wine, took out a stack of crumpled silver tickets from his arms, took one casually and threw it on the table, and said, "Little Er, settle the bill, everyone except me." No need to look for it. ”

"My share is naturally handed over to you. He smiled at the landing girl. "Tomorrow night, it's July 15th, right? Wait for me here tomorrow evening. ”

He stood up and walked slowly out the door.

Only Miss Lu who looked at him stupidly.

"Eh, I don't know your name yet?" the yellow warbler-like voice echoed in his ears again.

"Jiang Yuebai!"

At this time, it happened that the moon also slowly climbed into the sky, and under the penetration of the silver moonlight, there was a silver glow everywhere, and the sound of the evening wind blowing down the leaves. Somehow, she stared at the moonlit sky, and a familiar melody echoed in her ears: "The east ship and the west boat are silent, only the autumn moon in the heart of the river is white." ”
