Chapter 7: Grudges

The drunken moon is the saint, and the confused flowers are not for you.

Since being labeled on his own banner by Zuiyue Tower, these two lines of poetry have been misunderstood by a group of romantic and vulgar talents as slogans of seeking flowers and asking about willows, drinking and having fun. They all praise the fact that they are drunk on the moon and obsessed with the flowers.

Zuiyue Tower is located in the western suburbs of Wuyuan City. You can see the snow on the top of the snowy mountain peaks at the top of the snowy mountain with your head.

Although Zuiyue Tower is named after the building, it is full of pavilions.

The streams melted from the snow wind down from the mountains, and the nine curves and three turns between the paintings and carvings of the Zuiyue Tower formed a small pond of about acres, and finally passed by the building.

Sitting in the building, a bright moon hangs on the snow peak in the sky, reflecting the shadow of the snow-capped mountains in the pool.

Through the rippling water light, the melodious singing sounds floated in the moonlight with a faint mist. You can vaguely see the stretched dancing sleeves and graceful and slender shadows on the pavilions in the distance, making people unable to tell whether this place is on earth or in heaven.

A good place!

Cheng Zongyang exclaimed.

The stream made of snow water is extremely cool. It is summer and a layer of mist is formed on the water surface.The breeze came gently, and the heat in the pavilions was suddenly gone, with the elegant fragrance of flowers in the wind, refreshing the heart.

When I saw the carriage in my own store, I naturally reported it.

A middle-aged beautiful woman came out and saw Ning Yu was stunned. Then she smiled and said: It turned out to be the commander of the guard. I wonder what the wife has to give?

Ningyu said: This is the guest tonight. The wife has told me that you all follow his instructions.

The beautiful woman smiled and said, "I asked why there was such a big lantern on the candle. It was true that there were distinguished guests."

As she said that, she held Cheng Zongyang's arm and acted intimately, but she did not disgust at all.

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: I don’t know what my sister is called?

My family’s surname is Lan, and the official praised her and called Lan Gu.

Lan Gu said, smiling: There is still a room left in the water, and I have already asked someone to clean up.

I don’t know which one the officials like, so I want the girls to come and serve.

It is rare that someone can entertain you for free, and Cheng Zongyang is not polite, and the most popular girl in the building calls two.

Lan Gu smiled in his ear and said: There are prostitutes and prostitutes in the building, which kind of thing the guest wants?

Cheng Zongyang said: Is there any difference?

Prostitution is to sell one's own body, and officials do whatever they want.Prostitutes only drink and play the piano with customers, but they do not sell themselves.

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Is there really someone who doesn’t sell himself?

Lan Gu pushed him and said with a low smile: That was to coax outsiders. Since the wife had given her instructions, the officials will naturally do whatever they want.But those singing and dancing girls never served the guests, for fear that the officials would be dissatisfied.

Cheng Zongyang smiled and touched her face, even though he was in trouble.

Ning Yu's face suddenly changed, his fingers hidden under the cloak tightened and held the hilt on his waist.

A young man walked towards him. He was wearing a square scarf and wearing a plain white brocade dress. His figure was a little taller than Cheng Zongyang. He held a folding fan with a large gold shower in one hand, and his every move was graceful and elegant, with a beautiful tree facing the wind.

He has elegant facial features, a little blushing around his eyes, like peach blossoms, with a slightly raised corner of his eyes, with a seductive smile.

This was the first time Cheng Zongyang saw a man with peach blossom eyes, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The man's eyes were not clearly black and white, but his black pupils became deeper and deeper, which was unpredictable.

He smiled slightly, his eyes seem to be awake but not awake, like drunk but not drunk, full of evil temptation in the haze.

Cheng Zongyang thought secretly that if he was put into the 21st century, he would be a superstar idol based on his appearance alone.

As long as you throw your eyes, there will definitely be thousands of foolish girls rushing to pay back.

Although the man was handsome, his figure was not thin, but his face was not very good. He faintly showed a hint of blue like he was sick. He held a folding fan in one hand and inserted his hand into the lapel of his chest, and he coughed a few times from time to time.

Ningyu's fingers turned white, and his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

Lan Gu next to her lit up her eyes, she let go of Cheng Zongyang's arm, stepped forward and laughed: It turns out that she is a great official from Ximen, and she has a rare time today.

Ximen Daguanren?Lan Gu's words were so sensuous that it sounded louder than Wu Erlang's thunderous roar.

The man coughed low and said with a smile: Lan Gu is getting more and more beautiful.I don’t know when the young student will be blessed to marry a beauty like Lan Gu.

Lan Gu smiled and said, "There are a few beautiful ladies in the house of the great official. How could he fall in love with my family?"

Ximen Daguanren was talking and laughing with Lan Gu, and the pair of peach blossom eyes kept glancing at Ning Yu.

After the greetings, he stepped forward, clasped his fists and bowed to Ningyu.

Unfortunately, he was a little hurried, and when he pulled his right hand out of his arms, he brought something out, and it fell to the ground, but it was an embroidered bow shoe.

The girls around couldn't help laughing, but this Ximen Daguan was extremely thick-skinned. He ignored the ugly things he made. He stared at Ning Yu with his eyes and whispered: Long time no see.

Cheng Zongyang really began to admire this kid.

The four words he usually can say are affectionate and full of vicissitudes.

Those who don’t know thought that they had experienced the great changes of the world before they met again.

Ningyu took a step back and said coldly: The official's shoes fell off.

The maid next to her couldn't help laughing.

Ximen Daguanren checked the embroidered shoes and took them into his arms with a smile. His behavior was so scattered that it made the little girl faint.

Cheng Zongyang asked himself, and he wanted to pick up a woman's high heels in front of so many people and stuff them into his arms shamelessly. I'm afraid he couldn't do it even if he beat him to death, let alone he was so casual.

But Ximen Daguanren not only did it, but also had a face to explain: These embroidered shoes looked good, and the young actor finally asked her to take them off so that he could make shoes for a few girls in my family.

The people around him couldn't help it anymore and immediately bent down and smiled brightly.With a burst of laughter and a voice, Ximen Daguan Ren said innocently: Is the young master wrong?

A little maid held back and said, "The high official is right."It’s just that my daughter’s embroidered shoes are hard to take out.It is seen that I am afraid that I will misunderstand the high-ranking official.

Ximen shook his head and sighed, In fact, you don’t know what kind of person I am.

A group of women laughed even harder. Lan Gu was afraid of his annoyance and smiled pursedly: What does the official need? Just give me instructions. I will call two more girls to serve you later.

Ximen Daguanren put one hand in his arms and coughed twice, making his face look even bluer, which made Lan Gu worry.The young actor made an appointment with a few friends to discuss business, and he would have to bother Lan Gu to support him later.

Lan Gu quickly agreed.

Ximen glanced at her peach blossom eyes again and said to Ningyu softly: If you are unhappy with Mrs. Bai, the young actor will ask Mrs. Bai for you, okay?

Regardless of the envious gazes of the women around him, Ningyu felt as if he was stinged by a poisonous insect, and his body trembled and said with a stern face: No need.I stayed well.

The great official Ximen smiled slightly, and his peach blossom eyes passed by the girls like spring water. He nodded to Cheng Zongyang in his busy schedule and said, "Brother Tai looks extraordinary and you will get closer to you in the future."

Then he coughed low and walked away swayingly.

Before Cheng Zongyang recovered from his shock, he sat down in the pavilion. He didn't care about watching the scenery around him, so he pulled Lan Gu and asked: Who was that person just now?

Lan Gu said in surprise: Doesn’t the young master recognize Ximen?

Cheng Zongyang gritted his teeth and said: Is he a single name with the word Qing?

Lan Gu smiled and said: That's right.Who doesn't know about the great official in Wuyuan City? He has the appearance of Pan An, the wealth of Deng Tong, and the gentle temper. Who doesn't like him in the yard? He hopes to be taken home by the great official every day...

Cheng Zongyang turned a deaf ear to the following words.

He never thought that the legendary first lustful man in history was such a romantic and slutty figure. Even if he knew his fineness, he would not feel any disgusted.

Cheng Zongyang sighed to himself: No wonder Pan Jinlian followed him.

Who said Miss Pan would follow him?

Ningyu sneered.

Cheng Zongyang showed a strange expression.Since I met Ximen Qing in this time and space, it is not surprising that I have Pan Jinlian, but Miss Pan is not Wu Dalang’s wife?

Ningyu curled his lips disdainfully and ignored him.

Lan Gu smiled and said: This matter has become a joke in the yard.Then Pan Jinlian had a baby relationship with Wuda, the Baiwu clan of Wuda. Before she could pass the door, she had an affair with Wuda's younger brother Wu Er.The Grand Official of Ximen went to mention Wu Dalang with kindness, but unexpectedly, Wu Dalang was arrogant and even started to be fierce and injured the Grand Official of Ximen!

stop!

Cheng Zongyang asked carefully: Are you right?Wu Dalang injured Ximen Qing?

Why don’t you say that Wu Erlang raped Pan Jinlian?

Lan Gu said: I heard that Wu Dalang is nine feet tall, with tiger spots on his face growing up to his shoulders, and he can't tell whether he is a human or a tiger after taking off his clothes.Pan Jinlian is a beautiful daughter, how could she marry such a half-human and half-beasted man?Pan Jinlian had peach blossoms on her face and was born with a look of me. He even regarded it as a treasure and could not tolerate anyone telling the truth.

After only a few words, the reckless man kicked in the chest and almost died.Fortunately, Ximen Daguan opened a raw medicine shop at home, so he finally got it up and still coughed.

Wu Dalang is actually nine feet tall?Cheng Zongyang was stunned when he heard this, and could hardly believe his ears. Which one is he playing now?

Ningyu said coldly: Where did you hear it from?

Lan Gu smiled and said: Wuyuan City has spread all over.Ximen Daguan's injury had not healed yet, so Wuda suffered retribution and fell down the cliff. He took it back and swallowed not long after he carried it back.

She lowered her voice and said with a gaze: I heard that Pan Jinlian and Wu Er had an affair in front of him, and they made Wu Da on the sickbed angry to death.

nonsense.Wu Dalang is the number one master of the Baiwu clan. Yuhuanbu's cultivation is still above Wu Er. What cliff can knock him to death?He also said that Miss Pan had an affair with Wu Er...

Ningyu showed a disdainful expression. Miss Pan is a disciple of Guangmingguantang, how could she do such a thing?Most of the time it was someone who was spreading rumors behind the scenes.

Lan Gu smiled and said: That was what Master Ximen saw with his own eyes, how could there be a falsehood?

Needless to say, the person who spread the rumors must be Ximen.Cheng Zongyang listened with a smile and asked: Where is Wu Erlang?

Lan Gu said: Wu Er is a rogue. I heard that he was arrested by the government after committing a case.Those days, Ximen Daguan was so scared that he didn't dare to go out, for fear that he would find it.

not good!

Cheng Zongyang suddenly remembered something and stood up. What kind of building is this?

Lan Gu was a little surprised, then smiled and put a little on his forehead. Of course it was Zuiyue Tower.

Cheng Zongyang breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, Wu Song showed his power in Water Margin, and blood splattered into the Yuanyang Tower. Fortunately, this is Zuiyue Tower.

Lan Gu ordered to the maid next to her: Go and call a few girls and come to Yuanyang Pavilion to accompany the guests.

With a bang, the newly placed chair was knocked down by Cheng Zongyang.

Even Ningyu showed a strange expression now, wondering why he was so disobedient.Cheng Zongyang barely moved his Adam's apple. Where did the Ximen official treat him?

I prayed for thousands of times, just hoped that everything would not be so coincidental. Unfortunately, the heavens did not follow the wishes of others. As soon as I finished speaking, a thunder sounded above my head.Simon Dog Thief!Get out for the second master!

A thunderous voice rolled over, and the pavilion suddenly became silent.

Cheng Zongyang and Ningyu looked at each other. After a while, Ningyu gritted his teeth and whispered: Didn’t he promise you!

Cheng Zongyang smiled bitterly and said: How did I know that this second master is looking for revenge on the high official?

Ning Yu looked at him with a flash of eyes and suddenly sneered, if that guy was really killed by Wu Er, there would be a good show.

Cheng Zongyang was ups and downs, and he was not worried about Ximen Qing being killed - even if ten thousand of those guys died, he would not frown.

The problem is that as far as Cheng Zongyang knows, in Water Margin, Wu Erlang did not kill Ximen Qing in Yuanyang Tower, but mistakenly got the deputy car and killed an unlucky person who joined in the fun.

Cheng Zongyang thought anxiously, that unlucky person is me, right?

A sinister voice sounded upstairs. Who dared to cause trouble for Ximen Daguanren?

This sound was not a good person, but Cheng Zongyang recognized that it was not Ximen's coughing voice.

However, Wu Erlang, who heard this sentence, immediately confirmed the target.With a shout, a huge figure rushed upstairs with strong wind.

In an instant, the strong wind roared mixed with tiger roars, and the storm sounded like a storm, which made the pavilions keep ringing.

The guard who accompanied the man shouted angrily, and the sound of fighting, scolding, the screams of women, and the sound of breaking tables, chairs and utensils... were heard in an endless stream.

The woman who was serving the wine upstairs screamed and cried, and the hairpin ran down one after another.

Then with a loud bang, a man dressed in a guard came out of the window, spraying a cloud of blood mist in the air, and the tent fell into the pool.

Immediately afterwards, the exquisite windows were shattered by the strong wind and flew down from the upper floors.

Lan Gu was both painful and frightened, her jade face was so scared that she was snow-white, and the maids around her were close to the wall, each of them was fading.

Ning Yu held the hilt tightly, his body leaned forward slightly, like a tight bowstring, and his beautiful eyes shone coldly.

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Mr. Wu is really a cheerful person.

This guy broke in and said nothing nonsense, and started fighting directly. No wonder he killed the wrong person.

There was a sudden shout above his head, and the pillar painted by one person with a thickness and fine gold was hit by someone with heavy techniques. A crack was opened, and the tiles on the roof of the building made a crisp sound, and the entire pavilion was shaken.

Several men screamed and were thrown out of the doors and windows, falling into the pool, splashing bloody splashes.

The shaking sound of the storm calmed down in an instant.That sinister voice was already so angry that I...I don't...

Wu Erlang shouted: Dog thief!Wait until the second master takes your bird head to pay tribute to his brother!

A crisp sound of the ge, followed by a tiger roar. Wu Erlang's burly figure came out through the window, holding a head dripping from his neck in his hand, and disappeared into the night in a flash.

Blood seeped through the floor slab, and a blood-red leached over the head.

In the rippling pool, the body shot by Wu Erlang rose from the bottom of the pool.

The tragic situation in front of them made the maids almost collapsed to the ground, and even Lan Gu's hands and feet trembled.

Cheng Zongyang rubbed his temples like a headache, then stretched his neck to look at it, and said in surprise: Huh?Where is the official Ximen?

The upstairs was already completely empty. Relying on the root of life and death, Cheng Zongyang knew clearly that the only one who died was the verbal guest, the guards in the pool. However, Ximen Qing was not seen when he looked.

Suddenly, a few uncontrollable coughs came from the pavilion.Cheng Zongyang suddenly turned around, stared at the round table in the room, and shouted: Come out!

The cough only sounded twice, and then it was silent again.

If I don’t come out, I will shout!

Cheng Zongyang pulled open his throat and shouted: Wu Erlang!

Don't shout, don't shout!

The curtain moved under the table and a handsome face popped out.Ximen Daguanren looked around with a pale face, then smiled and said: Brother, don’t say loudly.

Come out quickly!

This is out, this is out.

Ximen Qing looked around again, then carefully came out from under the table.

There is no one in this Accord except Cheng Zongyang, Ningyu, Lan Gu and a few maids, and no one knows how he got under the table.

Cheng Zongyangqi said: You haven’t been hiding inside all the time, right?

Ximen Qing came out in a dirt face, looked around, and immediately returned to Yushu's posture of being in the wind. In addition to his trembling fingers, he was also called suave.

Wu Erlang had already walked away. Ximen Qing calmly got up, coughed twice, and then smiled: Xiaosheng was having a banquet for guests upstairs, but unexpectedly he met a bad guest, so he had to avoid it for a while.I am urgently following the power, and I hope my brother will forgive me.

As he said that, he bowed a long time, straightened his waist and conveyed feelings to Lan Gu and the little maids. His peach blossom eyes were as seductive as they could speak, which made the little maids blush and forget to be afraid.

Lan Gu said attentively: Are you scared by the great official?

Ximen Qing waved his hand with a smile and generously, "It's okay."

Hello,

Cheng Zongyang reminded him that there were a lot of people dead outside, they were all your scapegoats.

Ximen Qing said sternly: Wu Er was born into a bandit!Vicious and easy to kill!inhuman!The young student must report to the government and seek justice for his brother who died in vain!Never let such bandits get away with it!

Lan Gu flattered: Ximen Daguan is very kind and righteous.

Ximen Qing waved his hand gracefully, spreading the folding fan with gold in his hand, and a magnificent peony on the fan was red and beautiful.

He shook his fan and sighed: If the young man was not born to be a timid and righteous man, and wouldn't have seen anyone commit adultery and committing evil deeds, how could he have accused the pair of evil spirits of the Wu brothers?

Looking at Ximen Qing's face that was very flat, Cheng Zongyang had the urge to punch.Ningyu couldn't listen long ago, and his pretty face brushed his sleeves like ice and left Yuanyang Pavilion.Miss Ning!

Before Ximen Qing could talk to Ningyu, he quickly pulled his feet to chase after him. Cheng Zongyang's words made him give up his thoughts....Wu Erlang, maybe he is still outside.

Ximen Qing immediately withdrew his footsteps and bowed to Cheng Zong and said: Brother, your surname is noble?

Procedure.Cheng Zongyang.

Xiao Ke's surname is Ximen...

A single name is a word for celebrating.The famous Ximen official in Wuyuan City,

Cheng Zongyang said with a smile on his face: The name is well-known, and I have long admired it.

Ximen Qing thanked humbly: A cheap name is not enough to be a despicable person.

Wherever you are, your great name is destined to be remembered for generations and passed down for future generations.

Ximen Qing beat up and held Cheng Zongyang's arm affectionately. My brother and I hit it off at first sight. Come on, I will stop drunk with this brother!

Ordinary people have just saved their lives, so they must have traveled as far as they can. Lan Gu didn't expect that Ximen Daguanren would have to drink and advised: After these things, the girls in the Daguanren's house will inevitably be worried.The high-ranking official also needs to drink, so he is too brave.

Although it is tactful, it means that he will find a place to hide first.

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Don’t worry, Lan Gu, it would be fine if Wu Erlang didn’t come back. If he came back, he wouldn’t have guessed that the high-ranking official was drinking downstairs.In Wuyuan City, no place is safer than here. Ximen Daguan Ren was shameless and refused to leave, but he just liked this.

Ximen Qing laughed at him without thinking it offended: Brother Cheng really sees it clearly.

As he said that, he closed the folding fan, sat down at the table without any hesitation, and ordered: Lan Gu, open two jars of good wine, and find two good powder heads.The expenses here tonight are all my Ximen’s!

The corpses of those people were cleaned up by the servants of Zuiyue Tower. Lan Gu hurriedly ordered the maid to bring the wine pot. Ximen Qing waved his hand and changed the big cup!

Soon after, the maid brought a big bell. Ximen Qing first raised the bell and drank it, and then diligently persuaded him to drink.

Although it is a bit counter-attack, it is smooth and has no abrupt feeling.

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Brother Ximen is the guest tonight, I would like to pay a cup of Mr. Ximen.

Ximen Qing smiled and said: It is better to obey your orders than to be respectful.

As he said that, he drank it in one sip.

Even Cheng Zongyang had to admit that although this kid sometimes seemed very ungrateful, he was not annoying, but he looked a bit like a modern person's style.

Ximen Qing coughed twice, and without asking about Cheng Zongyang's origin, he raised his big bell and said: When we meet by chance, we are a confidant, please!

Cheng Zongyang had a normal alcohol tolerance, but fortunately they did not drink distilled spirits, and the smell was only slightly stronger than that of the usual red wine. He also raised his huge cup and drank it all.

Ximen Qing knocked on the palm of his hand with a folding fan and praised with great spirit: OK!good!It's true that he is one of us!

Cheng Zongyang almost squirted out the wine from his mouth and cursed in his heart: Damn, who is the one among us? As we talked, two girls in red came in and bowed to the two guests.Lan Gu smiled and poured a cup of wine for each of them. The two of them used it slowly, and the I retired.

As he said that, he ordered: Qing'er and Mei'er, please serve the two officials.

The two girls agreed in unison.

Ximen Qing turned his head and looked at it, and he was stunned and changed his eyes to say: It turns out that Brother Cheng is a distinguished guest of Zuiyue Tower, and he is disrespectful.

What a distinguished guest, the official joking.

Ximen Qing's eyes flew. These two were the red girls in the building and they didn't accompany the guests at any time.Two of them came at once, this was not the face of the young actor.
