After all, the scenery of West Lake in June was different from the four seasons.
The lotus leaves were boundless green, and the lotus flowers reflected in the sun were red.
On a boat, Gao Zhengyang faced a lake full of lotus flowers. Once again, he had the urge to write poems, and he improvised as a porter of poems.
Fortunately, this lake was located in the west of the seven cities, so it was also called West Lake. This poem was copied to perfection.
"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful." Shi Zhongyue, who was sitting opposite Gao Zhengyang, clapped his hands and praised.
Shi Zhongyue wore a feathered hat and a green robe. He looked less luxurious and dignified than usual, and more elegant, like an ordinary Confucian scholar.
This time, Shi Zhongyue didn't bring any attendants with him. Therefore, dressing up was very simple. It could be considered a private trip.
"Master's poem described the beautiful scenery of West Lake in June." Shi Zhongyue shook his head as he spoke, as if he was really impressed by Gao Zhengyang's poem. He didn't know what to say.
Liu Qingge also smiled and praised, "Master's poetry is unparalleled in the world. We can only admire him in secret. "
She was also wearing a green robe, and her long hair was tied up in a bun with a white jade crown. She looked very handsome, and her white jade-like skin glowed from the inside out.
Because he was too handsome, he outshone the heroic and handsome Shi Zhongyue and the gentle and elegant Gao Zhengyang. The little girl at the helm of the boat couldn't take her eyes off Liu Qingge. She seemed to be completely attracted by Liu Qingge's fans.
"Poetry is a small path, but it's just a game. It's not worth mentioning, "Gao Zhengyang said modestly.
In the past six months, he didn't know how many people had flattered him, and he had said such humble words countless times. He was very familiar with it.
Gao Zhengyang wasn't pretending to be humble. The poems he recited were all plagiarized, so there was nothing to be proud of. Moreover, martial artists were respected in this world.
Poems were just reciting the wind and moon for fun. It was really a word game.
Shi Zhongyue and Liu Qingge admired Gao Zhengyang's modesty and calmness.
Shi Zhongyue was a prince, and he had seen many people's hearts. Liu Qingge was the Demon Sect's Saintess. Although she was young, she had a lot of experience. The two of them could tell that Gao Zhengyang was speaking from the bottom of his heart. He wasn't pretending to be polite.
Wukong was famous throughout the world for his poems and Buddhist hymns, but he was still so calm and rational, not confused by the false reputation.
Compared to his heaven-bestowed talent, his temperament and wisdom were more admirable.
Shi Zhongyue, in particular, was even more determined to rope in Gao Zhengyang.
"Master, my aunt is a Buddhist. I wonder if Grandmaster has some free time in the next few days? Would you like to stay at my residence? At the same time, I can also pass on the teachings to my aunt and clear her doubts. "
Shi Zhongyue sincerely invited Gao Zhengyang to stay at his house for a few days. This was not only for the sake of bonding, but it was also more convenient for them to talk about confidential topics in private.
Gao Zhengyang was a little surprised that Shi Zhongyue actually invited him to stay for a few days, which was totally different from an ordinary banquet.
Moreover, Shi Zhongyue's aunt was the Emperor's younger sister, Princess Yuzhen. Princess Yuzhen was a Type 9 powerhouse, and had an important position in the royal family.
Princess Yuzhen also had a huge influence on Emperor Shi Potian.
It was an opportunity for him to explain Buddhist teachings to Princess Yuzhen and form a relationship with her.
Gao Zhengyang personally didn't have any requests for the Stone Kingdom, but as the Sect Master of the Heart Buddha Sect, if he could open up a new world in the Stone Kingdom where Buddhism was forbidden, it would be very meaningful.
Although he knew that Shi Zhongyue didn't have any good intentions when looking for him, Gao Zhengyang still found it hard to resist this temptation.
In this world, one shouldn't be afraid of others using you, but rather afraid that you wouldn't even have any value in being used.
Shi Zhongyue wanted to use him, and Gao Zhengyang also wanted to use Shi Zhongyue.
After muttering to himself for a while, Gao Zhengyang nodded and said, "Young Master, I wouldn't dare to refuse your kind invitation."
Because there was a mother and daughter steering the boat, Gao Zhengyang paid attention to the way he addressed them.
Receiving Gao Zhengyang's approval, Shi Zhongyue couldn't contain his excitement. "Boat Mistress, go prepare some food and wine, we'll eat lunch on your boat …"
The boat mistress also became happy and said softly, "The four-whiskered carp of West Lake is the most delicious, and it doesn't smell like dirt. The apricot blossom wine we brew is also very sweet and mellow. I guarantee that you esteemed guests will be satisfied …"
The boat mistress was only in her thirties. Although she wasn't very beautiful, her skin was soft and slightly tanned, and her teeth were very neat when she smiled. She wore knee-length shorts and had the soft and plump beauty of a mature woman.
She seemed to have been educated, and her manner and speech also had a different temperament.
Shi Zhongyue was very satisfied with her response and said with a bright smile, "Let's see how good the boat mistress is."
The boat mistress chose a place to lower the anchor and stopped the boat. She and her daughter were busy lighting a fire and cooking.
The mother and son had lived on the boat for many years, so they were very skilled at cooking. It didn't take long for the food and wine to be prepared.
The boat mistress welcomed and sent off countless tourists, and her eyes were very sharp. Although Liu Qingge was handsome, and Gao Zhengyang had the appearance of an eminent monk. But what she really cared about was Shi Zhongyue.
This young man looked like he came from an extraordinary family and was a true generous guest.
In fact, when it came to serving people, the most important thing was a kind of attitude. The boat mistress was mature and knew how to flirt, and she served him attentively. Although there were still some places where she was rough, Shi Zhongyue was very satisfied.
The scenery of West Lake was beautiful, and the green lotuses and red flowers made people's hearts open, and the blue waves washed away the summer heat. Sitting on a small boat, drinking two cups of wine, and eating the simple dishes made by the boat mistress, had a different natural and fresh flavor compared to a luxurious banquet.
"Boat mistress, it is fate that we met. This jade pendant is for you." Shi Zhongyue drank a few cups of wine and was in a good mood. He casually gave the jade pendant at his waist to the boat mistress.
He was traveling incognito, so he naturally wouldn't bring anything too good with him. But this jade pendant was also a fifth-level magic artifact. The value of the jade itself was worth ten thousand taels of gold. Not to mention the value of the magic artifact.
Gao Zhengyang couldn't help but sigh. This was really a rich second generation, throwing away money without blinking.
Although the boat mistress didn't know the true value of the jade pendant, she could see that it wasn't cheap. She hurriedly declined, "These dishes aren't worth much, I don't dare to accept such a valuable gift from you."
Shi Zhongyue was even more satisfied. She knew when to advance and when to retreat. Not bad, not bad. But he was the Ninth Prince, how could he take back what he gave?
Shi Zhongyue smiled and casually stuffed the jade pendant into the boat mistress' collar. His fingertip touched the deep cleavage, and his heart couldn't help but sway.
The boat mistress' face turned slightly red, and she hesitated for a moment, but she was too embarrassed to say anything. She bowed and retreated to the back of the boat, not saying anything.
"Haha …" Shi Zhongyue laughed again. This kind of pure and innocent style was something he wouldn't usually see. He couldn't help but like it even more.
He looked at the boat mistress' daughter. Her skin was even smoother, and her eyebrows were more exquisite and beautiful. The Ninth Prince couldn't help but have many thoughts.
This kind of consensual relationship between a man and a woman was a romantic affair. The Ninth Prince didn't avoid it and smiled at Gao Zhengyang, "I'm full of vulgar thoughts, please don't laugh at me."
Gao Zhengyang smiled and said, "Eating and drinking are the great desires of men and women. Even the Grand Elder has feelings, so what's there to laugh at? "
He was obviously hunting for women, but when Gao Zhengyang said it, it seemed like it was only right and proper.
He purposely let go of his inhibitions because he wanted to test Gao Zhengyang.
Whether one was serious, pretending to be serious, or not caring about it, each attitude displayed many of a person's thoughts, and it was the easiest to see a person's true nature.
Gao Zhengyang didn't avoid it, nor did he pretend to be a gentleman. Instead, he was generous and helped Shi Zhongyue to explain.
His eloquence, reaction, and intelligence made Shi Zhongyue admire him from the bottom of his heart.
Shi Zhongyue felt that he hadn't misjudged him. This monk Wukong wasn't an ordinary person, and he could achieve great things. Moreover, he had Formless behind him.
His father hated Formless, but strength was strength. Disgust couldn't change anything.
He had no chance of inheriting the throne to begin with, and he only had a chance with the power of Buddhism. Since that was the case, what else did he have to hesitate about?
Shi Zhongyue was in high spirits, and he raised his cup repeatedly. Just as he was getting slightly tipsy, he heard someone shout from the side, "Madam Li, quickly hand over the money …"
A slightly larger fishing boat had approached at some point in time. There were seven to eight men in black standing on the boat. The person who shouted had a wretched look, and his face was wretched and sneaky. It was obvious that he wasn't a good person.
The boat lady was also a little stunned. She didn't expect this group of people to suddenly come over to collect money. She explained, "Old Yu, there are guests now. Can we wait until the guests leave?"
The person called Old Yu glanced at Gao Zhengyang and the others from the corner of his eyes. He realized that although they were dressed simply, they looked rather dignified. He didn't dare to be too presumptuous. He lowered his voice and said, "Madam Li, you have to hand it over sooner or later. Just take it out now."
Shi Zhongyue pursed his lips and didn't say anything. With his status, how could he talk to a group of small fries who were collecting protection fees?
Besides, this kind of thing happened everywhere. He could control it for a while, but he couldn't control it forever.
Gao Zhengyang also didn't say anything. He had seen this kind of thing many times. However, it was too much of a coincidence that they encountered this kind of thing as soon as they came to drink.
The style of the boat lady and her son was also very unusual.
Gao Zhengyang couldn't help but look at Liu Qingge. This matter should have something to do with this Saintess of the Demon Clan.
However, it was a little too brazen to plot against the ninth prince like this.
Shi Zhongyue was a scheming person, and he was not a good person. He might be deceived for a while, but as long as he calmed down, this kind of small trick could be easily seen through.
Liu Qingge didn't seem to notice Gao Zhengyang's gaze. Her face was slightly gloomy, as if she was about to lose her temper but was holding it back.
The boat lady, Madam Li, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't want to cause trouble. She took out a small box from the bottom of the boat, took out a string of copper coins, and counted them twice before reluctantly throwing them to Old Yu. "Here you go."
Old Yu took the copper coins, weighed them, and said, "This money isn't enough." He paused for a moment, then said, "I forgot to tell you, during this period of time, a group of demon beasts came to the Heavenly River, and they are very difficult to deal with. Us brothers also risked our lives to protect the safety of the West Lake. From today onwards, you have to pay fifty percent more. "
Madam Li said awkwardly, "Fifty percent is too much, I don't have that much money."
Madam Li showed a weak and pleading expression, and looked at Old Yu, hoping that he would let her go this time.
Old Yu grinned, and looked at Gao Zhengyang and the others with an indescribable sneaky smile. "You're in good health, it's easy to make money by accompanying the guests."
Madam Li was embarrassed and annoyed, but she didn't dare to get angry. She could only lower her head and explain in a low voice, "I'm not that kind of person."
"Haha, it's fine if you don't accompany the guests, I'll come find you at night …"
Old Yu squinted his eyes and looked at the boat lady's chest, and his smile became more and more intense. Lewd. Evil. The others also laughed. "Yes, it's fine if you accompany us brothers, but you don't have to pay."
The boat lady's daughter was so angry that she cried, but she didn't dare to speak. She could only tug at the boat lady's clothes, and look at Gao Zhengyang and the others as if begging for help.
Her weak and innocent eyes made people feel sorry for her.
"Who do you think you are, hurry up and get lost," Liu Qingge couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and growl.
Old Yu's face darkened. "Young Master, this is the Flying Fish Gang's family business, it has nothing to do with you."
The other men in black also looked at Liu Qingge provocatively, as if they would not be polite if he spoke again.
Liu Qingge became even more furious. How dare a small fry like him clamor? He shouted again, "Get lost."
Liu Qingge's voice was not loud, but it was cold and melodious, like a zither. There were actually five different tones in one word.
Old Yu and the others' ears buzzed, and for a moment, the world was spinning, and they couldn't even speak.
Having been in the martial arts world for so long, Old Yu and the others were very clever, even if their martial arts were not good. They immediately knew that they had encountered an expert, so they did not dare to say another word and hurriedly steered the boat away.
Old Yu and the others only stopped when they could no longer see Madam Li's shadow. Old Yu hatefully said, "At first, I saw that Madam Li was still obedient, so I was too lazy to touch her. But today, she actually dared to find an outsider to support her. Hmph, tonight, us brothers will go over and take turns with both mother and son! "
Everyone was originally a little depressed, but after hearing Old Yu's words, they all became excited.
"Grandpa Yu is wise, we will teach that bitch a lesson …"
"Haha, tonight we will kill both mother and son together!"
None of the people in the group were kind, and as they were talking excitedly, an extremely sharp voice rang in their ears at the same time: Get lost!
That voice was like a sharp sword, as if it could pierce through rocks and split the clouds. It rose higher and higher in everyone's ears.
When it rose to the limit, everyone's eyes rolled back, and they died at the same time.
"A group of rascals …" Liu Qingge, who was in the distance, snorted.
Her Sound Assassination Technique was extremely terrifying. If everyone did not have evil thoughts after leaving, and their mood was calm, then nothing would happen. The Sound Assassination Technique that was lurking in everyone's heart would naturally slowly dissipate.
However, evil thoughts rose in everyone's hearts. Their blood and Qi surged, and their emotions became agitated. Immediately, they activated the Sound Killing Technique.
This kind of Sound Killing Secret Art was connected to each other's auras. When one of them was activated, because their auras were linked, the Sound Assassination Technique in everyone's heart's blood was activated at the same time.
When everyone died, Liu Qingge naturally sensed it.
Shi Zhongyue naturally saw through Qiu Qingge's methods. To be honest, as a prince, he didn't like it when people randomly killed people in Tianyue City.
But in this world, there were experts everywhere. Killing a few nameless people was not a big deal at all.
Qiu Qingge comforted Lady Li, "You don't have to be afraid. With Young Master Shi here, these small fries won't dare to be impudent."
The frown on Madam Li's face was hard to get rid of. She said in a low voice, "The Flying Fish Gang has several thousand people. They are very powerful here at West Lake. No one dares to provoke them."
Thinking of how terrifying the Flying Fish Gang was, Madam Li couldn't help but shed tears.
Shi Zhongyue frowned and thought for a moment. He said to Gao Zhengyang, "What do you think we should do, Master?"
Gao Zhengyang said indifferently, "As the saying goes, where there are people, there will be grudges. This kind of cliques has existed since ancient times. It is unavoidable now. "
"Master, do you mean that we shouldn't interfere?" Shi Zhongyue asked tentatively.
Gao Zhengyang shook his head, "Evil people like the Flying Fish Gang are the best at bullying the kind. They are the most despicable. Buddha once said, 'Evil must be eradicated.' "
Shi Zhongyue was a little surprised. Gao Zhengyang's attitude was so intense, completely unlike his usual style.
"Save them to the end. Young Master Shi, why bother with a bunch of bandits? With a flip of your hand, you can sweep through the crowd like lightning. "
Gao Zhengyang said seriously.
Shi Zhongyue hesitated, "A small Flying Fish Gang is naturally nothing, but I'm afraid it will attract criticism if we act so fiercely."
"Hehe …" Gao Zhengyang laughed, "Young Master, there's no need to think too much about such a small matter. With a single thought, he will naturally turn into a thousand corpses and blood will flow like a river. This is the true nature of a great hero. What does the criticism of others have to do with you? "
Shi Zhongyue couldn't help but ponder. As a prince, he was born rich and respected by everyone. However, the rules of the royal family were even stricter. He didn't even dare to look at someone else.
Normally, he did things in a dignified and dignified manner. However, deep down in his bones, he was actually very cautious.
Before Gao Zhengyang said anything, he just wanted to deal with the matter as much as possible and not let others know.
But now, his thoughts had changed a little. "What does the criticism of others have to do with you?" The domineering tone in these words made his blood boil.
Gao Zhengyang said again, "Young Master, a leader doesn't need to think deeply, but to be decisive. A real man should have this kind of aura. If you don't have this kind of boldness and heroism, how can others trust you and follow you? "
Shi Zhongyue's eyes shone brightly, and he said heroically, "Grandmaster is right."
After receiving Shi Zhongyue's message, people quickly flew over from afar.
Protecting a prince was no small matter. The guards beside Shi Zhongyue were mostly grade six elites. With the corresponding artifacts, it wasn't difficult to fly short distances.
The arrival of the guards gave the boat lady and her daughter a fright. They had never seen an expert who could fly in their entire life.
"The Flying Fish Gang has done many evil things. Go and destroy their nest. Anyone who resists will be killed. "
Shi Zhongyue waved his hand and gave the order in an extremely domineering manner.
The guards were a little confused, not knowing what Shi Zhongyue was thinking. However, seeing Shi Zhongyue's determined expression, they didn't dare to disobey the order. After hesitating for a moment, they hurriedly nodded in agreement.
The Flying Fish Gang that had dominated West Lake for more than ten years disappeared forever because of such a small matter.
Boat Lady Li and her daughter looked at Shi Zhongyue with awe and admiration.
It wasn't the first time Shi Zhongyue used his power, but he had never felt so happy.
That night, when Gao Zhengyang and Liu Qingge left together, Shi Zhongyue stayed on the boat.
"Today was really interesting …"
On the iron dragon carriage back, Gao Zhengyang sighed.
Liu Qingge held Gao Zhengyang's arm and leaned her little face on his shoulder. "I only see one thing clearly."
"Hmm?"
"You men are all perverts."
Gao Zhengyang laughed. "That's right. Men are all perverts."
During this period of time, he and Liu Qingge had become closer. They could say such ambiguous words in private.
This strange relationship was also deliberately created by Liu Qingge.
In this regard, Gao Zhengyang was also waiting to see how things would develop. He was very interested in how Liu Qingge was going to cultivate the Book of Unrequited Love. Follow me. "
Shi Zhongyue's eyes brightened as he said heroically, "You're right, Master."
After receiving Shi Zhongyue's message, people quickly flew over from afar.
Protecting the prince was not a small matter. Most of the guards following Shi Zhongyue were sixth-grade elites. With the corresponding artifacts, it wasn't difficult to fly a short distance.
The arrival of the guards gave the boat lady and her daughter a fright. They had never seen an expert who could fly in their lives.
"The Flying Fish Gang has done many evil things. Go and destroy their nest. Kill anyone who resists. "
Shi Zhongyue waved his hand and gave the order in an extremely domineering manner.
The guards were a little confused, not knowing what Shi Zhongyue was going to do. However, seeing Shi Zhongyue's determined expression, they didn't dare to disobey the order. After hesitating for a moment, they hurriedly nodded in agreement.
The Flying Fish Gang that had dominated West Lake for more than ten years disappeared forever because of such a small matter.
Boat Lady Li and her daughter looked at Shi Zhongyue with awe and admiration.
It wasn't the first time Shi Zhongyue used his power, but he had never felt so happy.
That night, when Gao Zhengyang and Liu Qingge left together, Shi Zhongyue stayed on the boat.
"Today was really interesting …"
Sitting on the iron dragon carriage, Gao Zhengyang sighed.
Liu Qingge held Gao Zhengyang's arm and leaned her little face on his shoulder. "I only see one thing clearly."
"Hmm?"
"You men are all perverts."
Gao Zhengyang laughed. "That's right. All men are perverts."
During this period of time, he and Liu Qingge had become closer. They could say such ambiguous words in private.
This strange relationship was also deliberately created by Liu Qingge.
