Chapter 9 Chapter 8: The Proud Daughter of Heaven

Ling Yu is in his twenties, tall and thin, giving people the impression of a tough and strong man with copper skin and iron bones. His speech and behavior are full of quackery, like a gangster who travels from place to place, far more than the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, with black skin and white teeth. At first glance, he looks ordinary, but he looks good when he smiles, revealing a kind of lazy and free and easy, which makes it easy to have a good impression.After chatting for a while, he said: "Where does Master Long like to have breakfast? I heard that Master Long has not eaten since arriving in Shendu yesterday afternoon."

Long Ying and he walked along the corridor aimlessly, and when they met the palace eunuchs, they all greeted them, and the call of the Ying Lord before and after the Ying Ye, suddenly the word "Ying Ye" became his special name, and I don't know why Make it like this.Long Ying was so tired that he couldn't stop returning the gift, but Ling Yu was so arrogant, he didn't see it, he didn't hear it. Long Ying said casually: "Is there any good place?" Ling Yu said happily: "You can stay in the palace and eat the food from the imperial dining room, but you are not popular. Does the Eagle like to be lively? There are four buildings in the imperial city, the Bafang Pavilion and the Huangcheng Pavilion, so you can choose one of them. regret."

Long Ying tentatively said: "Can I go outside the palace? I haven't had the chance to visit Luoyang City yet." Ling Yu said nonchalantly: "Of course, I have selected a few brothers with decent skills, and they can accompany Master Ying when he breaks into the dragon's lake and tiger's den." Long Ying was surprised and said: "Is there really no need to ask His Majesty for instructions?" Ling Yu said in a low voice: "Young general, how dare you make up your own mind? Your Majesty ordered that Lord Ying go wherever he likes. Even if he leaves God, he will not stop him."

Long Ying was greatly astonished, but when he thought about it, he would definitely not run away now, because he still saw a glimmer of hope here, as long as Wu Zhao came outside to announce to the world, he would become a public enemy. What fun. Ling Yu said: "The young general prepares the horse immediately, gathers the brothers, and gallops to the capital of the gods. Life is a joy." Long Ying said: "Can I take a boat?" Ling Yu slapped his forehead, and suddenly said: "The young general forgot that Eagle Lord is for sightseeing, and river cruise is a must for all tourists. Come! Let's go to the pier outside the main palace gate."

※※※ Three speedboats departed from the wharf of Shangyang Palace. The eight people in the same party were all civilians in casual clothes. They were all young and vigorous, with the appearance of a brave and fierce young man. They respected Long Ying and were sincerely convinced. Qi Gelu's hand frightened them.For warriors, only masters can win their respect. Longying sits on the bow of the boat, looking around, the vast Luohe River is blowing with gusts of wind, under the gradually brightening sky, one side is the magnificent imperial city, and the other side is full of life. , There is a lot of joy in leaving the cage, free and easy.

Ling Yu sat in the middle of the boat, with the rowboat's guard behind him, looking east and sliding away, leaving Shangyang Palace behind. Ling Yu suggested: "Course the river first. After Master Ying has enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the gods, we will go to the most famous Dong's restaurant for dinner. It is not easy to find a seat, but fortunately, the Supervisory Committee will make proper arrangements for us." Then he said happily: "We are the light of the Eagle Lord, so we have the opportunity to eat and drink, and the bill will of course be paid by the treasurer."

The speedboat turned right, entered the tributary, and looked south. The whole world seemed to have changed suddenly. Although it was a tributary, it was still very wide. Willows are planted all over the bank, and along the bank is a long street full of traffic. The houses next to it are like forests, and pedestrians are like crucian carp. You can have a panoramic view of the bustle and prosperity of the capital. The speedboat turned from one tributary to another, and after two more turns, Long Ying was already dazzled, unable to distinguish things, and deeply enjoyed the fun.Since he was a child, he lived in a narrow circle, and often he was the only one staying in the Holy Emperor's Mansion. Not to mention the five years in Huanggu, now suddenly there are so many partners, and he is in the most prosperous metropolis in Middle-earth. There is another feeling, and I really feel a little reluctant to leave.

There is a garden on the left, with hidden pavilions and pavilions, and the scenery is wonderful. Long Ying asked: "Whose mansion?" The imperial guard of the rowboat said: "My lord Ying, it is the mansion of people who can afford the money, the Fanghua Pavilion, the premier brothel in the capital of God, the boss Nie Fanghua, was once a very popular prostitute, and later married The boss of the Luoyang gang, fortunately, the boss died early so that she could come out of the brothel again, otherwise there would not be such a good place today." Ling Yu scolded with a smile: "Xiao Ma was excited when he heard the word brothel, but he only patronizes the local ruffian brothels that are a little better than Tuyaozi. Alas! This kid likes to make trouble again. The day before yesterday he had a conflict with the Yellow River gang because of trivial matters. I was so tired that I wanted to come forward to settle things for him, and I really wanted to beat him up, or transfer him to guard the main gate, but I hated that this kid was from my hometown, and his parents asked me to take care of him."

There was warmth in Long Ying's heart, everything outside Miyagi was different, everyone around him looked like himself, liberated from the strict rules of Miyagi, full of flesh and blood. He asked casually, "Does the imperial court not care about such incidents outside the palace?" Ling Yu said solemnly: "The five major armies of our Divine City are the Flying Cavalry Army, the Left and Right Habayashi Army, the Left and Right Imperial Guard Army, the City Preparation Army, and the Foreign Garrison. They all have a military order of 'do not disturb the people'. According to the rules of heaven, dismissal is the least serious, and beheading is the most serious. As for the affairs of the Jianghu, we can solve them privately by means of the Jianghu."

Long Ying began to understand why Wu Zhao's world was so stable as a rock, because she was indeed an emperor who loved the people, and he couldn't help but feel a little more favorable towards her.As long as anyone goes to Luoyang once, he has to admit that Wu Zhao has managed the world in an orderly manner and has achieved remarkable achievements.There is a sharp contrast between the people and the imperial court. Everyone in the palace is in danger, and the common people live and work in peace and contentment. What kind of country is this? Seeing him groaning in silence, Ling Yu thought his heart was in the Fanghua Pavilion, and apologized: "The young general of the Fanghua Pavilion is really helpless, because he has no choice but also dares to apply to the treasury's class of adults who manage the money so well."

Long Ying didn't have this idea at first, but when he heard this, his heart moved, and he remembered that he could borrow some silver taels from the fat father-in-law, and said with a smile: "Maybe I have a way." Xiao Ma rejoiced and said: "It's all thanks to Master Ying's support, I never thought I'd finally be looking forward to this day." With the Tianjin Bridge in sight, the three boats slowly approached the pier, and everyone jumped ashore as if performing a show. Ling Yu was pulled aside by his subordinates for a secret conversation. On the long street, he leaned closer and whispered: "Our brothers noticed that there were some worshipers watching outside the gate of the palace. The target was obviously Eagle Lord, and they followed us for a long time. Maybe there will be a good show in the future." Seeing his relaxed demeanor, Long Ying secretly praised him as worthy of the No. 2 figure in the imperial army, able to withstand the storm, and asked: "Who is the enshrined inside?" Ling Yu said with a bit of disdain: "The enshrined inside is the majesty's 'harem beauty', Jixian Hall is their territory, and the two Kunzhong, Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong, who are the leaders, are the most favored by the majesty, and their arrogance is growing. We are still not brave enough to touch our Flying Cavalry Army. It is said that they are very hostile to Lord Eagle's hospitality, so it is not uncommon to make trouble with excuses. It is said that those who come are not good, and those who are kind will not come. If they dare to provoke us today, there must be strong opponents Help out. If Master Ying is afraid of trouble, we can return to Shangyang Palace immediately." Long Ying was terrified by it, never thought that he would be regarded as an opponent by the male pets, he didn't know whether to be angry or funny, and said lightly: "Is the deputy commander afraid of getting into trouble?" Ling Yu showed two rows of neat white teeth, and said with a smile: "The young general's lineup today is precisely to deal with tough battles. The best thing is to do things according to orders. It's not a problem how big the trouble is. It all depends on Master Ying." Long Ying thought of urging the demon, and said with pride: "Let's heal the stomach first." While chatting and laughing, everyone crossed the long street and walked towards the magnificent building hung with "Dong's Restaurant". ※※※ The most prosperous areas in Luoyang are all concentrated on both sides of the Luoshui River, collectively referred to as the Luohe District. Luoshui and others are like the "heart" of Luoyang. There are numerous large and small wharfs. The largest ones are Luohe Wharf and Xintan Wharf. The latter alone can berth more than a thousand merchant ships, making Luohe District the most prosperous cargo distribution center in the country.The imperial court set up a Customs Customs Market here. Wu Zhao was determined to innovate and promote, reduce tariffs, simplify procedures, and stimulate commerce to an unprecedented level. Therefore, Luohe District has become a place where business and travel gather. Inns, restaurants, hotels, banks, and mules and horses are lined up, linking the northern and southern cities of Luoshui through the Tianjin Bridge, and becoming Luoyang's "noisy day and night, endless lights" never sleeps.There are many brothels on the next-level streets, and there are more than 60 big and small betting shops, which is unprecedentedly grand. The Great Zhou Dynasty inherited Taizong's policy and issued a ban on gambling. Therefore, Luoyang only had private dens and no open halls.Wu Zhao turned a blind eye to this, because he knew that since ancient times, the two things of prostitution and gambling have always been banned repeatedly. Luoyang is also a trading place for local products from all directions and rare treasures from all over the world.Lingluo, ginseng, bezoar, deerskin, rhinoceros horn, etc. from abroad can only be sold at a good price here. Another feature of Luoyang is the multiple buildings. Dongjia Restaurant is a grand triple building.And because young marshals Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling have visited many times, people in the world also regard this place as a must-see.From morning to night, there are no empty seats, and people who have no choice can find a seat without waiting. They were presented by the Palace Supervisor, and of course the Dong Family Restaurant gave them a lot of face, especially knowing that they were greeting the distinguished guests who Wu Zhao regarded as state guests, so they dared not neglect, and arranged for them to go to the third party, which had no qualifications and only set up wing rooms. Floors. Seeing the beautiful view of the Tianjin Bridge in the wing room, Ling Yu was very satisfied, and asked Long Ying to sit in the best view position, and the dishes ordered by Si Li for them were served like water. First came two plates of steamed buns piled up like a hill, followed by delicious snacks, which filled the table in an instant. Everyone let go of everything and ate and drank. There was a knock on the door. Everyone looked at me and couldn't guess who was so ignorant and came to harass them at this time. Ling Yu was about to order someone to open the door, when a voice that was intentionally made a bit sissy said in an extremely flattering and exaggerated tone: "Hero Dragon Eagle! Our Xingjin Buddhist Hall, from the little Buddha to the servants who wash and wash, They all admire the strong man very much, especially the strong man who can block arrows with a small cup while hugging left and right. Now, our Little Buddha is having a feast on the second floor, waiting for you, hoping that the strong men will gather together and make friends." Everyone in the room was furious. These words were obviously sarcasm. They secretly ridiculed Long Ying as Wu Zhao's male favorite, so they called him a strong man, and alluded to exaggeration and falsehood. The tone of voice is indeed extremely insulting. Ling Yu said in a deep voice: "No matter who you are, if I hear another word from you, I guarantee that you will regret being a human being." Long Ying was very surprised, how could Ling Yu bear this tone, and then thought that Ling Yu must have some scruples about the little Buddha.But he didn't have any worries, and he couldn't wait for someone to come to his door. Now that the devil's seed has died, he only owes it to the demon.Haha laughed and said: "If your little buddha wants to see Long Mou, just roll up and meet Lao Tzu, and Long Mou will immediately make friends for him to see." The sound of footsteps went far away, and he really didn't dare to hum. Yuwei Xiaozeng sneered and said, "Tuweizi is Tuweizi!" The other guard, Xiao Jia, said angrily: "Whatever little Buddha has three heads and six arms, he bullies you like this, boss! How can we not show it?" Ling Yu scolded: "What do you know? Brave but not resourceful, like Master Ying is both wise and courageous. Now it's not that they come up, and it's not even if they don't come up. This is called taking the initiative in my hands, understand?" Long Ying said happily: "I have a merciless request. When they come to your door, I will deal with them alone." Everyone objected in unison, and the crowd was raging. Afraid that he would not understand the situation, Ling Yu said: "This little Buddha is famous in the gods. The master is Yang Tong Leng, one of the disciples of the monk Wang Faming's four Dharma masters. He has quite a family background and opened a shop near Xingjin Bridge The Buddhist hall is practicing Huanxi Chan, and I have a close relationship with the Zhang brothers, and I am even more afraid that the people who come to cause trouble will be mixed with the Zhang brothers' subordinates, otherwise, knowing that we are strong and strong, how dare we openly provoke them?" Long Ying still wanted to convince him, Xiao Ma stared at the Tianjin Bridge outside the window, and shouted with emotion: "My little witch is here!" No one was interested in talking about the big Buddha and the little Buddha, including Ling Yu, everyone scrambled to the two double windows in the wing room and looked down. Long Ying became curious and looked out the window. Seven or eight riders appeared on Tianjin Bridge, urged their horses to gallop, and ran towards the restaurant every time a car passed by.Yiqi who took the lead was a girl in colorful clothes, she was pretty and charming.The other people chasing after her horse were six or seven young handsome men who could be seen as the children of powerful and powerful people at a glance. Angry horses and fresh clothes, full of enthusiasm, they disappeared out of sight with the little witch in the blink of an eye like stars. Everyone returned to their seats, still in high spirits. Ling Yu smiled and said: "Master Ying, don't blame us, this little girl is really fascinating, she is the youngest daughter of the old man Di Renjie, she is the daughter of the old man Di Renjie, she is the most charming in the whole city, and she loves fighting with others the most, there are only a few people who are really defeated by her There are quite a few, but there must be more false defeats.” Xiao Ma folded his hands on his chest, pretending to be fascinated and exaggerated, and said dreamily: "If I can really be in ecstasy with her, I would willingly lose ten years of my life." Another person laughed and said, "Subtracting a hundred years will not work either." The sound of footsteps came into the ears, and one of them had a heavy footstep to cover up the footsteps of more than a dozen others.Longying smiled and said: "Little Buddha is here!" Ling Yu glanced at him in surprise, because he didn't hear footsteps until this moment, and said: "Let them in, don't go out the door." All the guards nodded in agreement, all gearing up and eager to try. On the contrary, Longying was a little nervous, because this was his first time to take the initiative to attack.The demon seed can never be described by any martial arts or mental methods, but a strange power and spiritual sense beyond any martial arts.There are no moves, no established methods, and it is not limited to the use of any weapon. According to Xiang Yutian, only by throwing yourself into the danger of life and death, whether you fight alone or with a crowd of enemies, can you advance to the realm of the demon species. Your weapon is not only your own strength, but your entire body. environment of.That is the tactic of the unity of humans and demons. Under constant battles, the demons are released bit by bit. When the demons are stimulated to the fullest, and the demons become demons, then humans and demons will be indistinguishable. , which is called Xiaocheng. The visitor stood outside the door, while the others scattered to both sides. Ling Yu made a gesture, and all the guards stood up one after another, scattered to various strategic positions in the wing room, ready to attack the wing room like an enemy, and to be able to become Wu Zhao's guards, all of them have been selected and experienced. War, well-trained, this kind of tough battle, don't take it to heart at all. Only Yu Longying and Ling Yu sat in their seats. A long burst of laughter sounded outside the door, and then the laughter stopped and silence returned, as if the people outside suddenly disappeared. Although Long Ying still couldn't see the enemy, but he knew the enemy's situation like the back of his hand, without missing anything.The energy in the meridians of the whole body is surging, if it is not vented, it will be more difficult than a continuous battle.At this moment, he no longer has any worries in his heart, and he is still eager to find out how powerful he is now. A sonorous voice said disdainfully outside the door: "Brother Yuwei, why are you so nervous? My little Buddha just came here for fame. I would like to say hello to Brother Long and see how he makes friends with me!" The wing door finally opened. A handsome young monk in a yellow cassock stood outside the door, with his palms folded, his eyes flickering with evil light, he didn't even look at Ling Yu, he just stared at Longying. Long Ying said with a dumbfounded smile: "The way I make friends, I'm afraid you can't stand a fake monk." As soon as he finished speaking, he left the table like a swipe to bully Little Buddha. Ling Yu beside him couldn't see how he completed the series of actions such as leaving the chair and standing up. Little Buddha's face changed slightly, he was so amazing, he stepped aside, and Long Ying rushed out of the door without thinking. When Ling Yu and the others yelled badly, the fierce battle in the corridor outside the door had already started in full swing.
