Chapter 95 How to Talk to Master Tianyou (Subscription Request)
Three days later, Zhongdu.
Zhongdu is the richest and most prosperous place among the thirteen states in the world. It connects the north and the south, and has an endless stream of merchants and travelers coming and going.
Lu Chengfeng was dressed in a black robe, wearing a jade crown on his head, riding a tall black horse, with a sword at his waist. Behind him followed a dozen trusted followers, all of whom were holding swords and had a tough temperament.
It was obvious at first glance that this group of people were not to be trifled with, so the merchants and common people passing by all avoided them.
From a distance, Lu Chengfeng saw the tall and thick city wall of Zhongzhou, which was ten feet high and made of huge black iron rock, like a black dragon entwined on the earth.
Outside the walls of Zhongzhou City, there is a Jade Belt River that surrounds the city. The river is wide and rushes endlessly, like a rolling and roaring white dragon.
Thousands of years ago, Zhongdu was the core of the entire world. The ancients diverted water from the Yudai River and dug a moat outside the entire Zhongdu city, making the already strong city walls even more impregnable.
There are seven archways on the north side of Zhongdu. The middle one is called Beitai Gate. It will not be opened unless something major happens that shakes Zhongzhou.
As famous as Beitaimen are the Xiyong, Nanzhen and Dongping gates, which mean eternal peace.
The gate of Zhongzhou City was guarded by strong men and captains from the Patrol of the Sky, and the city walls were deployed with heavy troops and crossbows to prevent trouble and accidents.
The Sky Patrol will not inquire into the identities of those who enter and leave the city gates. Except for those who are being hunted down by the Sky Patrol, anyone from the north or south, whether they are bandits or bullies, can enter openly.
Lu Chengfeng, with the identity of Jun Yanluo, paid the entrance fee and entered the city gate openly.
Zhongzhou City is indeed extremely prosperous. When you are outside the city gate, you can see the 33-story pagoda standing in the east. The name of this pagoda is Wanxiang Pagoda, and it is known as the number one pagoda in the world.
In addition, there is the Shenxian Tower in the south of the city, which is known as the Shenxian Tower where immortals stop. It is said that this tower was built by immortals overnight. It is twelve stories high, with carved beams and painted buildings, and is extremely exquisite.
"East Tower, South Building, West Sea, North Garden, Central Palace."
"Each of the five scenic spots in Zhongdu is a wonder in the world. Today, just by looking at the Wanxiang Pagoda from afar, I know that these five scenic spots are truly worthy of their reputation!"
Lu Chengfeng looked from afar at a tall tower that pierced the clouds obliquely, with only the twenty-fourth floor visible. The remaining nine floors were in the sky and could not be seen clearly with the naked eye.
This kind of unparalleled craftsmanship is truly amazing.
The entire Zhongzhou is divided into five major areas by four wide avenues: east, west, south, north and center. The names of these four streets are named after the landscapes.
Dongta Street, Nanlou Street, Xihai Avenue, Beiyuan Avenue.
Lu Chengfeng and a dozen of his followers walked along Beiyuan Avenue and headed straight for their destination.
About an hour later, they came to an extremely prosperous alley. There were wooden buildings lined up on both sides of the alley, and many beautifully dressed women were soliciting customers at the door.
This is a willow-covered alley, not a famous place in the whole city. Only people of the lowest class come and go here.
After entering the alley, Lu Chengfeng sent away all his followers, leaving only two followers, and then came to a brothel called Chunguilou.
He gave a wink and one of his followers immediately went out, went into the building, found a woman soliciting customers, stuffed a few taels of silver into her, and started interrogating her.
After a while, the attendant ran back and said to Lu Chengfeng, "Sir, Zhao Tianyou is still here. I heard that a girl named Fuqin is supporting him."
"The girl just now said that Zhao Tianyou drank all night last night and is still drunk and hasn't woken up yet."
Lu Chengfeng nodded and said, "Go get a private room, spend some money, bring him here, and go redeem Fuqin. If the madam disagrees, reveal your identity and make sure this matter is done."
The two followers agreed and went to do it immediately.
……
An hour later, in the private room on the third floor of Chungui Tower, Lu Chengfeng was sitting on a chair drinking tea. On the bed next to him lay a middle-aged man wearing a gray cloth robe, with messy hair and untidy beard.
He reeked of alcohol, was tatteredly dressed, and hadn't had his hair and beard trimmed in who knows how long. If he weren't in this building, he would have looked almost like a homeless person.
Lu Chengfeng slowly drank a sip of the tea in the cup. There was no good tea in this place. He just cleared his mouth and then said calmly, "I am Jun Yanluo from Sanxian Mountain. You should have heard of this name."
"I came here to look for you today. My purpose is very simple. I want to deal with the Li family and use your identity as a member of the Zhao family to act."
The man on the bed was still sleeping soundly, without any movement at all.
“Of course, Jun Yanluo’s identity is nothing and is not worth mentioning to the behemoth Li family.”
"But I have another identity."
Lu Chengfeng spoke directly, without hiding anything at all, "I am a member of the Xiang clan of Youzhou, serving as the commander of Youzhou and also working in the Killing Tower."
"The target of this mission is Li Chengqian."
"Miss Fuqin's indenture is here. I have also arranged for someone to buy back your Zhao family's ancestral home." "What you need to do is very simple. Please ask Yuchai, your grandmother, to come here for me."
"I believe you must have had some doubts about her identity over the years, otherwise you wouldn't be alive today."
Zhao Tianyou, who had been lying in bed, finally opened his eyes and whispered in a hoarse voice: "I don't understand what you mean by these words."
"Don't speak in secret in front of others. The fact that you have survived until now proves that you are not a fool." Lu Chengfeng said in a light tone: "Of course, if you are really a fool, it doesn't matter."
"To achieve my goal, holding a fool hostage is nothing."
Zhao Tianyou was silent for a long time, "How can I believe what you say?"
Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but sneered, "If I was sent by them to test you, I would chop off your head right now. Even if I had to consider the face of the Heavenly King, I could find any excuse to deal with you. There's no need to talk nonsense with you."
Zhao Tianyou slowly got up from the bed. This man, who had no martial arts skills and had to rely on brothel women for support, was surprisingly tall and sturdy, with deep eyes. However, the decadent and repressed aura in him could not be concealed no matter what.
Even if you are a tiger, if you pretend to be a coward all your life, you will really become a coward.
"If I do this, I will have no way out. When the truth is revealed, I will have no way out. You must find a way out for me."
"It's very simple. In half a month, I will arrange for you to go to the Northland. That is our territory." Lu Chengfeng also stood up. "No matter how powerful the Sky Patrol Department is, it cannot control the Northland."
"Okay, it's a deal." Zhao Tianyou said.
Lu Chengfeng nodded and took out a few banknotes from his arms, "Whatever you can do, please invite your good grandmother over."
"Now?" Zhao Tianyou hesitated.
Lu Chengfeng said: "Now that the decision has been made, let's cut the Gordian knot quickly, otherwise things will change."
Zhao Tianyou lowered his head and thought for a while, then picked up the banknote and went out directly.
……
About two hours later, the sky gradually darkened and candles were lit in the private room.
Lu Chengfeng ordered his followers who were out on business to buy back the Zhao family's ancestral home. The Zhao family's ancestral home was originally located on the bank of the Yudai River outside the city. It was a riverside pavilion with a vast area and exquisite architecture.
But almost everyone knows that the Zhao family's ancestral home is a hot potato, which is related to the Li family and the Patrol Sky Bureau, and can even be involved with the King of Heaven. Those who have the ability to buy this house will never be willing to be dragged into such a vortex for a mere house.
Ever since Zhao Tianyou's martial arts were abolished and his ancestral home was taken away twenty years ago, this house has been vacant and has been abandoned with no one living in it until now.
When Lu Chengfeng sent someone to buy the house, the people in the brokerage firm treated them as if they were being taken advantage of and quickly completed the handover formalities, as if they were afraid that the couple would go back on their word.
……
Lu Chengfeng waited in the private room for about half an hour, and finally heard a noise coming from outside the door. After a while, the door opened and two strong men walked in carrying a baby.
Zhao Tianyou and another man with a pointed chin and monkey face followed behind and entered the room one after another.
"You two, take it easy. You can't afford to let my grandmother get away with it." The man with a pointed chin and monkey face swaggered in, shouting and glancing at Lu Chengfeng with a sidelong glance.
"I say, Zhao Tianyou, who is this guy? Why is there an outsider here?"
While he was talking, Zhao Tianyou had already paid the money, sent away the two porters, and helped an old lady to slowly sit down.
The old lady had a head full of silver hair, a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and was wearing exquisite and luxurious silk and satin. She looked like an old birthday star from a wealthy family.
"Zhao Tianyou, I'm talking to you, are you deaf?" The man with a pointed chin and monkey face became angry when he saw that Zhao Tianyou didn't reply, and pointed at him and scolded.
"San'er, how can you talk to Master Tianyou like that?" The old lady saw this and scolded him. She turned the Buddhist beads in her hand a few times, and then slowly looked at Zhao Tianyou and said, "Tianyou, what San'er said makes sense. How can you say those things in front of outsiders?"
"How about asking this little brother to leave first?"
At this moment, two sturdy men walked in from outside the door. They were the two followers of Lu Chengfeng.
Without saying a word, one of them quickly stepped forward and covered the man's mouth, while the other slapped the pointed-faced man on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious.
The two men moved very quickly, and in just a few breaths they dragged the person out.
The old lady's expression changed slightly, and the Buddhist beads in her hand turned a little faster, but soon she smiled again, "Tianyou, you told me that you found the secret left by your grandfather, and you need my help to retrieve it."
"Could it be related to this young master?"
