The officer at the gate, who had just drunk half a jug of wine under the shade of a tree in the inner city, hurriedly ran over. Seeing this troublesome situation, his drunkenness completely dissipated. There was no need to think about forcefully stopping them. He only wanted to delay as much time as possible. When the government received the news, there would be no need for him to be stuck in the middle. He was just about to speak when an object flew through the air. It was like a rainbow piercing through the sun. It stabbed into the stone floor in front of him with a loud bang. It was an extremely rare jet-black halberd in the army! If he took one more step forward, this halberd would pierce a large hole in his body. He was so scared that he stood there like a wooden chicken. In the time he was stunned, the young master in white robes on a white horse had already passed through the gate. Then, two carriages followed closely behind. The general in black armor rode slowly on his horse. When he passed by the officer, he pulled out his halberd.
The light cavalry passed through the gate.
More than a hundred cold and beautiful standard knives were unsheathed. They shone dazzlingly through the gate.
No one dared to move.
It was not until the cavalry troop that trespassed the city gate of Yangchun City disappeared that everyone, who did not dare to breathe loudly, finally felt relieved. The common people near the city gate, who had their eyes opened, discussed animatedly, guessing which family's young master in their province would act so domineeringly. Since ancient times, Yangzhou had produced wealthy families. If it wasn't for the unjust war of the Spring and Autumn Period that suppressed the limelight of Yangzhou's Jiangzuo Group, the Green Party of Qingzhou, who had achieved success in recent years would be nothing. In Gangnam-do, there was the "Eight Xiangzuo Song" of the previous dynasty, the Huting Lu family of the Fourth Generation of the Three Dukes of the Fourth Generation, the Boyu Yuan family of the Fourth Generation, and the Gumu Xu family of the Fourth Generation were all first-class families. After the country war led to the tragedy of "nine out of ten families", these four families began to hide their strength and bide their time. However, Yangzhou, which was named after its great state, was far from what Qingzhou could compare to.
Last year, there was a governor's son in Qingzhou who wanted to marry a crippled woman from the Yu family as his wife. He was rejected. The Yu family said that the governor's family was a poor family that didn't enter the ranks. If they married, what was the difference between them marrying animals? However, the County Governor of Qing Province, who had bitterly studied for a smooth career and became a high-ranking official of a region, was only resentful and did not refute this insult. The citizens of Yangchun City counted with their fingers for a long time, but they could not guess who this young master was. They had never heard of such a rude young master among the four major families of Gangnam-do.
After entering the city, Shu Xiu urged her horse to catch up with His Royal Highness and said carefully, "Your Highness, Senior Li said he was hungry and wanted to eat something at the restaurant in front."
Hsu Fengnian frowned and nodded. "Alright. Shu Xiu, ask for the way to the Lu residence later. "
His Royal Highness and company dismounted and entered the restaurant, while the Phoenix Battalion stopped their horses by the roadside.
The waiter of the restaurant was alert and alert, so he quickly ran out of the restaurant to greet this group of distinguished guests. After being brought to the second floor to take a seat, the business here was booming and the place was packed to the brim. He saw that the customers were divided into two groups. Those near the windows were craning their necks to look at the elite cavalry in the bustling city, while those further away from the windows were pricking up their ears to listen to the comments of the customers near the windows. Xu Fengnian, the elderly God of Swords, and the others had just sat down and asked the waiter to prepare some of the restaurant's signature dishes when they heard some whispers. There were two granaries in the world. The desolate Northern Liang was the horse granary, while the Jiangnan Dao was the granary of the world, where the richest people in the world were the richest. In the last hundred years, the many commanderies of the Jiangnan Dao had produced a large number of scholars. Thus, the air of eloquence and the air of an advisor were extremely strong. In the eyes of the scholars of the Jiangnan Dao, there was nothing that they could not criticize and nothing that they could not comment on. Of the thirty thousand students of the Imperial College in the capital, the ones who liked to point out the state the most were mostly from the Jiangnan Dao.
Hsu Fengnian was expressionless as he waited for the dishes to be served. Shu Xiu had already asked for the location of the Lu residence in the Lake Pavilion. She bowed beside him and reported the details respectfully. Shu Xiu was a naturally beautiful and charming woman. She was the type of seductress that men would think of in bed with just a glance. Especially now that she was bending over, the view in front of her chest was very aggressive, like a pair of inverted bamboo shoots that were about to burst out of her clothes.
In addition to Shu Xiu, Hsu Fengnian also had Yu Youwei, who was holding a white cat, and Princess Jing 'an, whose face was covered by a veil but had a graceful figure. Such a feast for the eyes was rare in the world, and it made the diners on the second floor drool. They immediately had a strong desire to show off, as if they had taken an aphrodisiac. The voices on the second floor were much louder, as they only wanted to be remembered by these rare beauties. Not to mention getting intimate with them, just a few glances from them would be enough to make them ecstatic. Gangnam-do, which was full of noble families and nobles, had always advocated talkative and mysterious talks. The scholars and doctors all wore loose robes and wide belts, feather fans and silk headscarves, and wore crane robes. The air was very fragrant, and they did not even look at riding horses. They had to drive ox carts to show their status. Even the page boys had to pick those pale youths with red lips and white teeth. There were only a few young maidservants who were familiar with playing the zither and brewing tea, and they were too embarrassed to go out and greet their friends.
The second floor was full of loud conversations, and it was very lively.
"I heard that in a few days, Beiliang's empty-bellied heir will come to our Huting County to visit his eldest sister. This pair of siblings, one is ignorant and incompetent, the other is shameless. They really are a good match."
"If this widow's conduct wasn't improper, how could she have been scolded by Sir Chengzhai's wife to be a two-legged incense burner? This saying is really too wonderful for words. That slap in the face was really good! I heard from some people at Baoguo Temple that after this unrestrained widow was slapped, she still laughed. She really is a woman from Beiliang! "
"You should lower your voice a bit. I heard that the Empress who wrote the 'Precepts for Women' wanted to support her niece, but after the one from Beiliang went to the capital, this Empress ceased all activity. There's even news that she went to Changchun Palace. Humph, this world really makes me, a scholar, bitterly disappointed! "
"No matter how much that boorish fellow covers the sky with one hand, how can he extend his hand to Gangnam-do?! Wouldn't Grand Secretary Zhang chop off his claws?! "
"That's true. Grand Secretary Sir is indeed amazing, a role model for all scholars under the heavens."
"Sir Chengzhai is a bit muddle-headed, but he doesn't neglect the greater good. Read that poem about breaking off ties, we should make a toast!"
"These words aren't wrong, we should indeed make a toast. Come, let's drink!"
One of the people on the second floor suddenly stood up, arriving at the table where the discussion was the most heated. He drew his blade and hacked the table in half, calmly saying, "You want to drink, right? Today, I'll let you drink piss until you're full! "
