Chapter 243, Luze
At dusk, the whole city of Luze lit up.
In fact, it's not the whole Luze City, but the street that Long Fei and others walked through lit up.
This street is called Ancient Street, which is the main street of Lu Zecheng. The big restaurants, brothels and big shops in Luze City are almost concentrated on this street. Just into the night, merchants on both sides of the street have hung all kinds of lanterns, such as fish-shaped, birds, turtle-shaped, children, red, yellow, and white. Lanterns of various shapes emit various colors of lights, dot the whole street, as if hundreds of birds singing and roaring beasts.
There are also bells hanging under the eaves. When the wind blows, the sound of jingling is crisp and melodious.
In addition to these, of course, there are still more people. Some people walk on foot, with folding fans in their hands and swinging them step by step, but some people sit in an open carriage, a plate of snacks, and a pot of old wine. They know something about it. While drinking and chatting while enjoying the beautiful scenery, some people ride horses, kicking lightly, and their clothes are flying.
This ancient street is even more lively in the evening than during the day.
Long Fei and others walked as cars, and the beautiful scenery along the street made them forget to return. At this time, they were not anxious and even forgot that they were hungry.
Such a beautiful scenery, not to mention that they have never seen it, but Xiang Yuanfei, who has seen it, has seen it before, is still deeply fascinated by it. Hearing Lu Ze's prosperous reputation, it unexpectedly prosperous to this extent.
Ten thousand stars reflect the reflection, and thousands of flowers and trees bloom at the same time. It is said that the Guanghan Palace in the sky was originally a beautiful scenery on earth.
When I walked to the gate of Keyue Building, I found that Keyue Building was different from what I imagined. Although the gate of the Yue Building was open, as if to welcome guests from all directions, there was no guest in front of the door, and only two servants stood straight in front of the door.
"It's a false name!" Tongtou muttered, "It's so good and famous, but it's cold in front of the door!" I can't even see a bird."
Long Fei was also very strange and turned his head to look at Xiang Yuanfei.
Xiang Yuanfei smiled. Just as he was about to speak, the sound of horses' hoofs suddenly came from behind him. Everyone turned their heads to look and saw a carriage slowly coming from the other side of the street.
This is an open carriage. There are four pillars on the carriage that support the upper canopy. The front and rear are empty, and there are carriages on the left and right, but this carriage is not high, just the height of the adult's forearm.
There is a man and a woman in the car. The man's blue shirt and the woman's white clothes are lying in the car. The man's left leg is bent and his right leg is on top, but his head is on the woman's thigh. His right hand gently shakes the folding fan, while his left hand gently strokes the woman's waist. The woman leaned her back against the carriage, lowered her head, and couldn't see her face clearly, but a pair of eyes must be staring at the man lying on her thigh at this time, gently touching the man's eyebrows with one hand, but holding a wine glass in the other hand, gently feeding it to the man's mouth.
Because the left and right carriages blocked the light, they could not see the expressions of the two people in the carriage clearly, but only looking at their movements at this time made Long Fei and others stunned, as if they were looking at the wild comers, and could hardly believe it.
Around this open carriage, there are also four horses. The horse knights are all dressed in black, with strong figures and electric eyes. In addition to a long knife on the back, there are bows and arrows hanging next to the saddle.
Almost when Long Fei and several people first saw the carriage, there was a thunderous sound of horses' hoofs from the other side of the long street, as if they were rushing on the battlefield, and the hooves were so urgent that they almost trampled through the long street.
As soon as everyone turned around, they saw more than a dozen riders galloping from the street. Because the speed was too fast, as soon as they saw it, these dozens of riders almost rushed into their eyes.
On such a bustling street, they dare to run like this. These dozens of people are not particularly arrogant, that is, they are particularly confident in their riding skills. It seems that these people have both. Wherever they passed, the pedestrians on the street dodged automatically. No one dared to object, and the riding skills of these dozen people were indeed good. If there were pedestrians who had no time to dodge, they could avoid it with just a gentle rope.
As soon as the crowd turned around, the dozen riders rushed over and blew up everyone's clothes, but they didn't even touch the corners of their clothes.
Long Fei's eyes are sharp. He has seen that one of these dozen riders is a middle-aged man, with a dark beard on his face. His eyes are like copper bells and his skin is as black as iron, but he wears white clothes. No matter from afar or near, he looks like a piece of white linen wrapped in a black impermanence.
These dozens of riders rushed to the gate of Keyue Building before they were reined. In the sound of the long horse, more than a dozen horses seemed to have been fixed and stopped almost at the same time. At this time, the fastest black man's horse just reached the steps of the gate, and the rest followed a row on the street. There is neither collision nor friction, as if it had been arranged in advance.
With this hand alone, you can see that these more than a dozen people are not only profound in skills, but also usually well-trained and have a tacit understanding that they almost communicate with each other.
When these dozen riders reached the steps in front of the gate, the four riders also arrived at the same time. The two sides seemed to have made an appointment. The time of arrival were the same, and the place of arrival was almost the same. They both leaned against the middle position. The horse pulling the cart and the horse riding by the man in white almost hit their heads.
"Sour scholar, I didn't expect that we would arrive at the same time!" The black man in white looked at the man lying in the carriage and laughed, "No one can compete with anyone!"
The blue-shirted man in the car slowly sat up and looked at the big man for a while. Suddenly, he raised his neck and poured a glass of wine in his hand into his mouth, and then slowly said, "Hong Da's head, please go first. I dare not fight." With a gentle wave of his hand, he really made the carriage step back a few steps and gave way out the middle position.
"These two are the masters of Lu Ze's two biggest gangs, Hong Ba of Hongmen and Yang Shu of the Blue Shirt Club!" As soon as he saw these two people, Xiang Yuanfei's face changed slightly and attached to Long Fei's ear and said very slightly, "I heard that their martial arts skills are similar, and they are all in the second level of transformation."
The big man was staring straight at the blue-shirted man with copper bell's eyes. Suddenly, he laughed, as if he had been clicked on the laughing hole. He kept laughing. In the end, he held his stomach and pointed to the blue-shirted man and nodded repeatedly.
The man in blue looked at the big man, looking calm, neither angry nor doubting, as if looking at a monkey doing all kinds of movements.
The laughter lasted for a period of time before suddenly stopped, just like a sudden rise. Then the big man's eyes, which were as big as copper bells, suddenly narrowed into a line, and the whole person suddenly turned into another look, and a sneer floated at the corners of his mouth: "Since Yang is polite, then I won't be polite!" After saying that, he jumped off the horse, threw the horse rope to his men, and strode up the steps
"Hong is invited!" Seeing how Yang Shu did it, he had swept down from the carriage, smiled faintly, and raised his hand to bow to Hong Ba.
Hong Ba returned a salute, smiled coldly, stopped talking, and turned his head and walked towards the building.
As soon as he stepped on the steps, a man had already greeted him from the building. The man, dressed in a cyan scribe's gown, smiled without saying a word, bowed his hand to Hong Ba from afar and said, "Hong is here. Ruan Qing welcomes you late. I forgive me!"
"Haha... Your boss Ruan is busy, and Hong Ba dares to work hard on Boss Ruan." Although Hong Ba was rude to Yang Shu and sneered repeatedly, he was very polite to Ruan Qing. After seeing him come out, he quickly greeted him and bowed to Ruan Qing.
Ruan Qing smiled and was not surprised by Hong Ba's enthusiasm. He just smiled faintly and raised his hand to the building: "Hong, please come in!"
"Mr. Ruan, you're welcome!" Hong Ba laughed, crossed Ruan Qing and walked towards the building.
Ruan Qing waved to call a lobby-like man over and asked him to walk towards the building with Hong Ba and his party, but he quickly walked down the steps and towards Yang Shu.
"Who is Ruan Qing? People like Hong Ba are polite to him." The copper head whispered curiously in Xiang Yuanfei's ear.
"I haven't heard of this person!" Xiang Yuanfei shook his head and said, "Although I have been to Keyue Tower before, I came with others and I have never seen this person."
"Yang is the head of the family! Mrs. Cheng, welcome. The owner of Hongmen is a regular guest of our guest house, but the virtuous couple is a rare visit!"
Yang Shu smiled and said, "Blue shirts will be less expensive than Hongmen. Naturally, they will come less often."
"Haha... Yang's home is joking!" Ruan Qing laughed and suddenly turned his head to look at Long Fei and others. He hesitated, "Are you...?"
Xiang Yuanfei just wanted to take a step forward, but he didn't expect Yang Shu to say first: "The guest Yue Lou welcomes guests from all over the world. No matter who they are, as long as they come to you to spend money, Boss Ruan is not happy."
"Oh!" Ruan Qing was stunned, looked at Yang Shu, and then laughed: "Master Yang is right. In this case, please come in!"
"Mr. Ruan is polite." Yang Shu took the woman in white, that is, Mrs. Cheng's little hand, and walked downstairs. Although he spoke for Long Fei and others and asked Ruan Qing to let Long Fei and others in, he did not look in the direction of Long Fei and others from beginning to end.
Yang Shu entered, and his four subordinates naturally followed.
Everyone goes in, including Hong Ba and others who entered in front of them. Their mounts will be taken away by a servant in a blue hat. These people are not worried about losing their mounts at all.
How's it going? Do you want to get in?" Xiang Yuanfei turned his head and looked at Ma Jue, and then looked at Long Feidao.
Ma Jue is respected here, but the person Xiang Yuanfei really respects is Long Fei, who saved his life twice, so after looking at Ma Jue first, he finally cast his eyes on Long Fei's face.
Long Fei also looked at Ma Jue and waited for him to make a sound.
Ma Jue saw so many people looking at her and suffocated slightly, "Let's listen to the opinions of the Long Fei brothers!" He has also seen Long Fei's two battles, both of which helped the Rosefinch Army to solve the difficulties, and helping the Rosefinch Army is equivalent to helping himself. Therefore, Ma Jue is actually full of gratitude and respect for Long Fei and others.
Everyone turned their eyes to Long Fei, including the three brothers and sisters of the Zuo family.
"Go in! Since everyone has helped us solve the problem, if we don't go in, won't we live up to the kindness of others? With that, he walked towards the steps.
