At night, the condor was clearly very tired from flying. It wanted to rest, but there was no place for it to rest in the sea. After looking around for a long time, it could only land on the black flood dragon's back. The black flood dragon felt its body sink. It turned its head to look and immediately swung its tail. The condor had no choice but to fly up and circle nearby.
Lu Fei patted the black flood dragon's neck and said, "Let it rest for a while."
Seeing the black flood dragon snorting, Lu Fei waved at the brown-feathered condor in the air. The brown-feathered condor tried to descend from the sky and stood on the flood dragon's back. This time, the black flood dragon did not struggle and allowed the condor to stay on its back.
One day, when Lu Fei was at the exit of the Yellow River, he suddenly remembered that he had promised Cai Wenji that he would visit Cai Yong at her home. Lu Fei thought about how he had offended many people. Only by building a good relationship with Cai Yong could he stabilize his position as governor. With this thought in mind, Lu Fei got the black flood dragon to stop at a deserted spot by the seaside and let it rest. He also instructed the condor not to run around. To prevent it from being exposed in front of others, Lu Fei picked up a stick and poked the condor, making it recall the scene of its mother being slaughtered. The black flood dragon immediately let out a deep cry. Lu Fei sighed and said, "Protecting your own life is more important. Be careful."
With that said, Lu Fei walked along the coast to a pier and hired a boat to head for Luoyang. The boat was not big, but the environment was good. Lu Fei spent a lot of money to hire it. There were other people on the boat, but Lu Fei did not pay them any attention. He cultivated in his room.
At noon, the boat suddenly stopped. Someone shouted, "We have arrived at Hanoi. Get off the boat and eat. The boat will stop for two hours. Remember to come back on time."
In the past, it was the people on the ship who delivered food. This time, the ship just happened to stop next to a big city. Most of the people on the ship went down to eat and tour the city. Unexpectedly, no one came to deliver food to Lu Fei. Lu Fei could only walk down the ship by himself, thinking that it would be good to eat here.
After walking out of the cabin, a rather large wharf appeared in front of him. At a glance, there were countless ships of various sizes docked by the riverside. In front of him was a city. At this time, people were coming and going on the wharf. There were people selling Kang Bao and people hawking their wares. It was very lively.
Lu Fei took advantage of the sun to disembark from the ship and follow the flow of people into the city. Because this was a city for passing ships and it was close to the docks, there was an endless stream of people entering and leaving the city. Lu Fei walked into the city and saw a straight road connecting the north and south. However, the official road did not allow commoners to walk on it. Therefore, Lu Fei could only walk on the side road. He casually walked into a restaurant and sat by the window. The waiter served some of the restaurant's signature dishes. From here, he could see the street behind the restaurant. This street was narrower than the main road and there were relatively fewer people. A huge house stretched out and occupied almost the entire length of the street. Lu Fei secretly thought that this was probably the residence of a wealthy merchant or an official of the imperial court. Otherwise, it would not be so big.
While he was looking, the dishes were already served. Lu Fei ate his fill and poured himself a cup of wine. At this time, it was not yet time to eat, so there were many people in the restaurant. Lu Fei looked outside for a while. Suddenly, he heard a noise coming from downstairs. He looked towards the street and saw a person sitting on the ground at the back door of the extravagant house. He looked no more than twenty years old and was dressed in scholarly attire. He was surrounded by several burly men. One of them stretched out his leg and kicked the scholarly youth, saying, "How many times have I told you not to appear again? Do you not understand human language?"
Another man also stepped forward and kicked the scholarly youth, saying, "Who do you think you are? You dare to covet our family's young miss. You are really a toad who wants to eat swan meat. Poor and destitute."
The scholarly youth did not say a word. He stood up from the ground and said, "I want to see Qin 'er."
The leader's face changed. He slapped the scholarly youth's face again and said, "You dare to call the young miss by her maiden name? You filthy wretch. Today, you will learn a lesson. Brothers, take good care of him for me."
When the others heard this, they immediately stepped forward and pressed the scholarly youth to the ground, punching and kicking him. The passersby saw this and stayed far away. No one dared to stand there and join in the fun. The scholarly youth curled up on the ground and held his head with both hands. No matter how hard they beat him, he did not make a sound. The burly men were bored of beating him. One of them lifted the scholarly youth and said, "Have you learned your lesson?"
The scholarly youth spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "I want to see Qin 'er."
"Still a tough nut. Take good care of him. Don't be lazy." The leader of the burly men took two sticks from the door and handed them to the two men, saying, "Break his legs. Let's see how this wretch will find his way here."
The two men took the sticks and were about to attack when they suddenly saw a well-dressed youth standing next to them. He had a handsome appearance and looked quite extraordinary. They immediately asked, "Who are you? If you have nothing to do, leave quickly." If it was someone else, these men might have already beaten him away. However, they saw that this person's clothes were not ordinary. They did not dare to act rashly and only chased him away.
The leader saw that the youth did not say anything and said, "Don't worry about him. Break this kid's legs first."
The two men holding the sticks were about to attack when they suddenly saw a blur in their eyes. The sticks in their hands had disappeared. When they looked again, they saw that the sticks were in the hands of the embroidered youth. This person was naturally Lu Fei. He took the two sticks in his hands and still did not say a word. The two men did not know how the sticks were in someone else's hands. For a moment, they looked at each other and then at the leader of the burly men.
The burly man frowned and looked at Lu Fei, saying, "Who are you? How dare you meddle in the affairs of our Zhang Mansion? " This man had seen many martial arts masters, so he was not afraid of Lu Fei. As long as he knew that this person did not have any background, he would immediately send people to deal with him. There was a saying that a hero could not fight against many people. No matter how powerful this person was, he could not beat all of them.
Lu Fei played with the sticks in his hands and said, "I just happened to pass by."
The leader of the burly men said coldly, "Then I advise you to leave quickly. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite." He saw that Lu Fei did not dare to say his name and only thought that he was bluffing. How could he be afraid of him? Even if he suffered a loss, the young master would naturally uphold justice for him.
Lu Fei still looked unhurried. He put his hands behind his back and did not speak. The leader of the burly men saw this and was furious. He waved his hand and said, "First, take care of this dog for me."
