at dusk.
The Gan family mansion in Pei County.
Gan Ping, the old man of the Gan family, who is nearly sixty years old, is currently leading a group of children and grandchildren, waiting respectfully at the door.
Everyone looked to one side of the long street.
There is quite an attitude of looking forward to it.
As the oldest and senior comrade in the clan, Gan Ping, who has white beard and hair and an old face, is holding a cane in his hand.
With the support of his children and grandchildren.
While squinting his eyes and waiting quietly, he asked in an indifferent voice as if he was casual.
"Are you ready, Mei?"
As the old man finished speaking.
A middle-aged man who had always been standing respectfully aside immediately bowed and reported back.
"To tell you what my father is saying, everything is ready at Mei's side. Now we are just waiting for the distinguished guests to arrive!"
I got a satisfactory answer.
Gan Ping's face, which was like an ancient tree bark, finally softened a little, and then he nodded slightly and said in a long voice.
"I believe you all know the identity of this distinguished guest. Anyone with a discerning eye can also see where our Xiaopei is."
"Although our Gan family has a big business, we can only make ends meet here in Xiaopei. If we offend someone who cannot be offended, even a huge family business will turn into scorched earth in a short time."
"On the other hand, if we can please the distinguished guests, then in the future our Gan family will no longer be limited to a small county town, and it will be possible for us to skyrocket."
"This will be a great opportunity for us, an opportunity for the family to continue to grow, and even become a century-old family. I hope you will be smarter later and don't ruin the important events in the family!"
Although the old man's tone was calm.
But the descendants and grandchildren who are familiar with his temperament know it.
The calmer you are, the more serious your attitude is. Once something goes wrong, your anger will become more intense.
So faced with Gan Ping's advice.
Everyone did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, and even the middle-aged man who had replied before bowed and saluted, and kept saying assurances.
…………
It's time for a cup of tea.
Several servants suddenly ran over from the east side of the long street. As they ran towards this side, they shouted: "The distinguished guest is here, the distinguished guest will be here soon!"
With such a shout.
Everyone was immediately shocked.
The old man even broke away from the hands that were supporting him, and with a cane in one hand, he quickly passed the crowd and came to the front.
After doing this.
Then he saw a few cavalrymen clearing the way from the direction where the servants were running, protecting the tall horses at the head. Behind the team were more than a hundred soldiers, neatly dressed and with serious faces.
And as he looked across the cavalry in front.
It can be clearly seen that the leader of this team is a man who rides a majestic maroon horse and wears a black robe. His movements are majestic and unrestrained.
It was Cao Ang who had just arrived in Pei County!
The distinguished guest that the old man of the Gan family refers to is Cao Ang. It was a great effort for him to invite him to his house this time.
"Hush!"
As the team approaches the gate.
Cao Ang immediately patted the neck of the red rabbit horse. This amazingly intelligent guy stopped on the spot in an instant, and the large troops following Cao Ang also reined in the horses.
…………
"I'll see you later General!"
As the people in the mansion led Cao Ang to the door, all the children of the Gan family saluted Cao Ang one after another.
Even the old man is no exception.
See this situation.
Cao Ang rushed forward before he could finish this courtesy. He helped Gan Ping up that day and said with a gentle smile.
"I'm just a junior. How can I receive such a courtesy from an elder? Please get up quickly, otherwise I will be really upset!"
Gan Ping also dismounted his donkey along the slope.
He didn't worry about etiquette, but straightened up very readily, and then bowed his hand to Cao Ang.
"The general is busy with government affairs and has to deal with many things every day. He needs to concentrate on important matters of his family and country. He can take time out of his busy schedule to visit my humble residence."
"This is a great honor for the old couple and the entire Gan family. How can a mere gift be considered such a big deal?"
Gan Ping's wrinkled face was now full of smiles, and his eyes were narrowed into a thin line. He no longer had the calm and awe-inspiring look he had when he was admonishing his children and grandchildren.
Faced with the old man's flattery.
Cao Ang smiled lightly on his face.
He responded lightly: "The elder invites you kindly, how can I refuse? No matter how many important things there are, there is still time for a dinner."
have to say.
The old comrade in front of me had indeed put in a lot of hard work to invite Cao Ang to Gan's house for the dinner.
Not only had they made prior arrangements with several other big families in the city, but tonight's dinner was being hosted by the Gan family, which owed them a lot of personal favors.
He also made a special trip to send the descendants of the clan.
Don't be tired of asking for help one after another.
His attitude was extremely sincere, and he was so enthusiastic that Cao Ang was a little embarrassed to refuse.
That's why this trip to the Gan family took place.
…………
"General, I have thought carefully about today's dinner. It is definitely extraordinary. General, please follow me!"
"oh?"
"The old man is too polite. It's just a simple meal. Why spend so much money? There's no need to use labor and force!"
Even though he said so.
But Cao Ang's pace didn't stop at all.
After following Gan Ping for dozens of steps, they came to a courtyard with a wide view.
Cao Ang only glanced at him.
I couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
At the end of the courtyard, there is a four-story high building standing, showing a large building pattern with a small one on top. The height of each floor is about two to three meters, and the total height is more than ten meters.
The overall architectural style is quite elegant.
With carved beams and painted pillars, cornices and brackets, in addition to the main building with only doors and windows, there is also a circle of terraces on the outermost edge of each floor for people to walk on, all surrounded by railings painted with vermilion paint.
I saw this beautifully built small building.
Cao Ang couldn't help but admired.
He has seen high-rise buildings.
It's just that the pavilions that are more than ten meters long that we have seen in the past are all royal buildings and are concentrated in the North and South Palaces of Luoyang City.
It is really rare to see ordinary people.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Cao Ang's rank is too high and he has little contact with ordinary landlords and wealthy households.
Otherwise, given the love of the Han Dynasty landlord class for high-rise buildings, there would be no shortage of such buildings.
Of course, even so.
A four-story pavilion is built at home. The average landowner cannot afford it and does not have the capital to play such a trick.
It can only be said that he is indeed a local householder in Peixian County, and he is indeed quite wealthy.
…………
"General, today's banquet will be held in the courtyard, and what the old man said is extraordinary is on the tall building opposite."
"I have ordered people to block the surrounding area of the courtyard, which is enough to block most of the cold wind and prevent the general from getting cold. Sitting here, you can directly see the highest point of the tall building."
"General, please sit down at the table with me. Soon you will know what I am talking about."
At this moment, two rows of tables have been placed in the open-air courtyard, and there are many maids waiting respectfully beside them, just waiting for people to take their seats.
Faced with Gan Ping's warm invitation.
Cao Ang always maintained a gentle smile and sat down at the top of the table leisurely.
"Serve!"
Then Gan Ping clapped his hands.
A group of maids immediately brought various dishes from the back kitchen one after another. Although they were not delicacies such as dragon liver and phoenix marrow, they were exquisite in style and of high quality.
But with Cao Ang's current power.
How can we lack these food and drinks?
What he was really interested in was what the old man of the Gan family just said about the unusual things that would appear on high-rise buildings.
It can only be said that the old comrades have raised their expectations too much.
It was rare for Cao Ang to have a strong interest.
…………
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Everyone exchanged cups and cups, and the atmosphere was high.
Under the wholehearted welcome of all the disciples of the Gan family, the scene quickly became lively.
And I saw that the time was ripe.
The atmosphere is almost perfect.
Gan Ping immediately signaled to the disciples on his left and right, then clapped his hands and gave instructions loudly.
"Hold the lamp!"
Following the old man's order.
On the tall building not far away, there was movement soon, and the maids passed it on one level at a time.
But in an instant.
Located at the highest point of the four floors, where the top floor faces Cao Ang, it is already brightly lit and extremely gorgeous.
It just corresponds to the top layer.
The lower floors were all in darkness. Such a strong contrast between light and darkness made the scene on the top floor even more prominent in Cao Ang's eyes.
"General, look at the tall building. Below, the old granddaughter will perform a dance for you, General!"
…
As soon as this statement came out.
The top floor of a tall building illuminated by lights.
The graceful figure of a woman immediately appeared. At first it was just a shadow reflected by the lights, but it soon became clearer and clearer.
It only takes a few breaths
Cao Ang saw a woman pushing the door out of the house. With a light step, she had already danced to the outermost terrace.
With all the figures appearing.
Cao Ang's eyes suddenly lit up.
What a girl with skin as white as jade!
From such a long distance, others could hardly see clearly. They could only see a figure and those beautiful but complicated dance movements.
But with the blessing of being proficient in archery, Cao Ang, who has top-notch vision, can see all the scenes, and everything is clearly visible in his eyes.
I saw only the top of tall buildings.
A bright girl wearing a water-pink palace dress and a thin feather gauze gown was dancing to the orchestral sounds on the left and right.
The waist is slender and too full to be held in one's hand. When the long sleeves dance lightly, the figure becomes even more slim.
The snow-white and slender neck, the undulating curves, and the looming slender calves and delicate ankles every time she lifts her skirt.
It looks even more elegant and beautiful.
What impressed Cao Ang most.
It’s still this woman’s snow-white and delicate skin.
To describe it as "bright as the bright moon, as bright as jade" is not an exaggeration at all.
It’s so white that it’s dazzling!
…
Cao Ang was very interested at the moment.
Although in Cao Ang's opinion, the dancing posture of the woman on the tall building was not that outstanding, she could only be said to be a little accomplished. Compared to the dancing master Diao Chan around him, she was still several orders of magnitude behind.
But at this moment, the height difference between the two created a sense of distant distance.
And the hazy mist that rises in the autumn evening turns the originally bright and bright lights into warm orange-red candlelight.
Plus the moonlight shines down.
Reflecting on that jade-like skin, layers of holy radiance radiate outward.
The visual filter is directly full.
Gives Cao Ang the feeling.
It seems that what is dancing on the tall building at this moment is the fairy from the Yaochi under the moon. She is definitely an ordinary person.
"Old Master, you are interested!"
This compliment is extremely sincere.
As a human being, Mrs. Gan obviously understood the meaning of the words instantly. His face suddenly flashed with joy, and he couldn't help but feel a little secretly proud in his heart.
Sure enough, it has to be our old Jianghu.
Ordinary young people don't understand these twists and turns. They only know how to offer beautiful women stupidly, but they don't know that creating a sense of atmosphere and infinitely increasing the value of beautiful women is the most important thing.
Of course, this is also my granddaughter. She has excellent qualities in all aspects, but she is not good at anything more ordinary.
"As long as the general likes it!"
After bowing slightly with a smile and replying to Cao Ang, Gan Ping began to think about how to proceed with the next process.
…………
While the two were communicating like this.
On the tall building at the end of the courtyard, Gan Ping's granddaughter Gan Mei was already holding one hand on the railing, while the other hand was dancing with her long sleeves.
At the same time, with the support of the horizontal rails, his feet were also kicked up and down, and he began some difficult dance moves, which were pleasing to the eye and extremely elegant.
It was just Cao Ang watching.
Suddenly I realized something was not right.
The smile on his face couldn't help but fade a little.
With his amazing eyesight, he could clearly see the place on the tall building where Ganmei's hand was supporting, which was the horizontal railing that should have been extremely strong.
At this moment, there was actually a faint feeling of shaking.
This is an extremely unreasonable thing.
After all, the four floors are more than ten meters high. The higher the top floor, the stronger the fence must be. Otherwise, if you don't check it for a while, you will slip and fall, and the result will be half-broken.
If your landing posture is not good.
I'm afraid my life will be lost.
Therefore, the horizontal rails are shaking not because of the design, but because something is wrong.
It seems that because it has been in disrepair for a long time, the Gan family did not conduct a detailed inspection in advance before arranging the girl to climb the high-rise building, and they were not aware of this flaw.
But these are all things for later.
The most important thing at the moment is to stop this high-rise dance. There will be more opportunities to see the scene of the Yaochi fairies dancing under the moonlight.
If this girl falls from a height.
That's really heartbreaking.
If she falls out of control again, I'm afraid the white jade beauty under the moon will be lost.
…
Think about this.
Cao Ang stood up immediately.
Then, under the somewhat surprised and suspicious gazes of Gan Ping and others, he left his seat and came to the front, closing the distance to confirm that he had seen it correctly.
While saying to Gan Ping.
"Old Master, when I look at the tall building from a distance, the railing seems to be a little loose. It's really dangerous to dance on it like this."
"I have seen your sincerity today. I also know your good intentions and arrangements. If possible, please stop this singing and dancing!"
Gan Pingping looked surprised.
But before he could say anything.
Then I heard a "click" sound from a distance from where the tall building was. The sound was very harsh and abrupt, even overpowering the music of the silk and bamboo orchestras on the left and right.
Followed closely.
It was the woman's panicked scream.
Listening to the sound, it was obviously coming from the direction of a tall building.
In an instant, everyone's expressions changed suddenly.
As the only person in the audience who noticed this safety incident in advance, Cao Ang naturally reacted the fastest after receiving the warning sign.
Not waiting for anyone to respond.
He rushed forward first, his robe sleeves flying, bringing up bursts of fierce cold wind.
Although the courtyard is large, it is not the palace of a prince. Even if there are tall buildings, they are not far apart from each other.
Therefore, under the burst of Cao Ang's powerful physical fitness, he was at the bottom of the tall building in an instant.
…
Cao Ang rushed downstairs.
He just used the extra second to raise his head and look up at the situation.
There was another click of wood breaking, and then the sound of heavy objects sliding on the roof and tiles flying.
At the same time, the woman's screams became louder and louder. The panic, fear, and confusion contained in them were extremely strong.
Although due to high-rise buildings, they are larger at the bottom and smaller at the top.
Cao Ang stood underneath, and it was difficult to clearly see what was happening above.
But such a movement could be guessed even by guessing.
It was definitely his words that came true. Because the railing could not support the long-term reliance, after a crack appeared, it immediately broke.
As Ganmei was holding on to it, most of his body weight was leaning on it, so the railing suddenly broke and he must have slipped down.
The sound of tiles is a good proof.
Think of this.
Cao Ang couldn't help but lick his lips, and then based on the direction he sensed from the sound, he moved to a designated position among the lightning and flint.
Next is the time for difficult operations.
If he had caught it steadily, then Ganmei would have suffered no more than a slight skin injury. Otherwise, if he fell heavily to the ground, he would have suffered twice as serious injuries.
But there is one thing to be thankful for.
That is this building. The roofs and eaves of each floor are of a larger slope angle. The lower floor is wider than the upper floor.
So people fell on it.
It will slide down along the eaves, and then be thrown directly away due to inertia and other factors.
Otherwise, if you have to bump against the eaves every time you go down a floor, then even if you can land smoothly in the end, you will suffer a concussion.
…
"ah!!!"
Accompanied by a sharp shout.
Cao Ang felt a faint movement of wind above his head, and a black shadow fell from the sky.
Without saying a word, Cao Ang immediately put himself into a hug position, trying hard to fix his posture, and then accurately caught the warm-fragrant nephrite falling from the air in his arms.
There is a height difference of nearly ten meters.
Even though Cao Ang had the immovable passive skill, the smaller the movement, the higher the body's defense. Under such a gravity impact, he couldn't help but groan.
After picking up the girl.
Cao Ang didn't have time to feel the warmth in his arms and appreciate the gleaming and holy beauty of the white jade beauty.
He quickly and decisively covered the two of them with his robe.
"Clang... clatter!"
There was a burst of tiles flying into pieces, and the cathartic sound was like falling raindrops, hitting Cao Ang unceremoniously.
But now he was still.
When these tiles fell on him, they were no different from leaves. They were as stable as a mountain.
…………
"General!!!"
"Go to the rescue!"
"Zhongkang, please protect the left and right, and the others will follow me to escort the general out of the high building!"
Dian Wei showed great adaptability to situations.
Decisively command the audience.
After receiving the order, Xu Chu immediately took out the weapon he carried with him, and then turned around and glared at the Gan family and others.
Under his glaring gaze.
All the members, including the old man of the Gan family, looked frightened at this moment. They were frightened and unable to speak. They wanted to go forward to check General Cao's condition, but they were frightened by Xu Chu and could not move forward.
After ensuring that the scene is stable and not chaotic.
A group of guards led by Dian Wei.
There was also a clear division of labor. Several people worked together to pull open the cloak while escorting Cao Ang out of the high-rise area. However, not long after Cao Ang escaped, the catharsis of Tile also stopped.
The sound died down.
The scene fell into an eerie calm for a moment.
Mainly because the Gan family didn't know what to do, they finally invited the distinguished guests, and the entire banquet went smoothly.
The end came.
But something huge went wrong.
Isn't this life-threatening?
I really don’t know how to end it!
