Towards midnight, dark clouds gradually began to rise, the moon was half-covered by a black veil, and the cold wind whistled in my ears. Lu Renxiang was tired of watching the lanterns, so he sat down on the bench of a roadside tea stall, "Brother, please take a rest! I can't walk anymore. I didn't expect that Ma Market Street is so big!"
"Xining Street is coming soon, take advantage of this moment to go and take a look."
"There are fewer and fewer people here. There must be nothing interesting in Xining Street, so there is no need to go there, right?"
The boy at the tea stall was clearing away the dishes and wiping the table, and said with a smile: "My two gentlemen, there will be a curfew in Ma Shi Street in a while, and we will close the stall after cleaning up. But at this time, Xining Street It’s really lively! After finishing the stalls, I want to join in the fun!”
Lu Renxiang smiled happily after hearing this, stood up, pulled Lu Zuo and hurried forward. The two turned a corner and saw Xining Street.
At this moment, Xining Street is already bustling with people, bustling with people coming and going, and the streets and alleys are brightly lit. When Lu Zuozheng was dazzled by what he saw, Lu Renxiang stopped his brother, "Look at the door of the house in front of you!"
Lu Zuo looked in the direction of Lu Renxiang's finger and saw the brightest light in front of him. The red lantern in front of the mansion's door shone brightly with the four characters "Ning Prince's Mansion". There were several energetic guards in front of the door.
At this moment, an elderly man with thick black beard and hair, dressed in regular clothes, was crowding at the door of the house. On the left of that man was a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and on the right was the young man in green shirt, An Shilu.
Lu Renxiang was full of complaints, "It's really unlucky to meet that playboy again during the Lantern Festival tonight."
"No!" Lu Zuo looked at the people in front of the house, shook his head and smiled, "We were lucky tonight, and all of a sudden the whole family was bumped into by us."
"Brother, are you saying that the one in the middle might be An Shilu's father, Pingyuan Bo Anyuanshan?"
"Exactly, and the person on Uncle Ping Yuan's left may be his eldest son An Shiqing."
"Oh?" Lu Renxiang couldn't help but wonder, "Then what are the three of them doing here at Prince Ning's Mansion at this time?"
"The Lantern Festival is of course the best time to entertain party members." Lu Zuo's eyes were cold, "It seems that Prince Ning's Mansion is about to get a good chess piece!"
Lu Renxiang was very puzzled, "Prince Ning was fighting with the Communist Party. It is said that Uncle Pingyuan has always remained neutral and did not participate in the party struggle. How could he associate with Prince Ning?"
"That can only explain one thing!" Lu Zuo looked thoughtful.
"Oh? What does it mean?"
"It means the wind is blowing in the court!"
Lu Renxiang frowned, puzzled, "It's windy? What's the wind?"
"It doesn't matter what kind of wind blows, what's important is that we will also be involved in this wind!"
Lu Renxiang looked puzzled, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar brother in front of him, but he didn't know where to start the question. However, Lu Renxiang believed that his brother must also be thinking about the revenge for killing his father.
Lu Zuo pushed his brother who was in a daze with his hand, "Go back!"
"Is it so early? Let's go shopping again!" Lu Renxiang hasn't had enough of the bustling capital of Kyoto.
"No need, we have gained a lot today, and there are still many things to do tomorrow."
Just as the two turned to go home, they heard the sound of horse hoofs neighing behind their ears. They looked back and saw a man standing in front of Uncle Ping Yuan's car, dressed in black and wearing a black cloak. Wearing a bamboo hat on his head, his face covered with black gauze, and holding an unsheathed long sword, he stood in the street, his clothes fluttering in the cold wind, and pedestrians on the street couldn't hide behind him. Lu Zuo and Lu Renxiang hurriedly hid behind a street corner with a good view and watched.
An Shiqing and An Shilu looked at the man in black in front of the horse, and then looked at each other, with stunned expressions on their faces. An Shilu shouted: "Who is it? Dare to block Ping Yuanbo's car! Get out of the way quickly, otherwise..."
"Shilu! Who is making the noise?" Before An Shilu could finish speaking, a deep voice came from the carriage behind Shilu.
An Shilu looked at the man in black carefully and replied, "Father, it's nothing! A little thief stopped us."
"Oh!" A calm voice came from the driver's seat, "Just hold on, don't let us see the blood during the big festival!"
"Kid knows!"
An Shiqing was very surprised when he saw the man in black in front of the horse standing motionless in the cold wind. He persuaded him nicely: "This strong man, can you use some light to get out of the way?"
The man in black still didn't answer, he just stood motionless with his head lowered.
"Brother, why are you talking nonsense to people like this!" An Shilu was not angry, "Hey, do you know whose driver this is? If you are sensible, get out of the way."
At this time, the man in black suddenly raised his head and glanced at An Shilu with sharp eyes, "The road is so wide, how could I block your way?"
"I think you're just here to cause trouble!" An Shilu pointed at the man in black and yelled angrily.
The man in black sneered, "Yes, you are right."
Just when An Shiqing was about to speak, An Shilu was already impatient. Without any explanation, he ordered seven or eight of his men to come forward together, "Tie up this bad guy."
An Shilu's men immediately rushed forward, trying to tie up the man. Unexpectedly, before the long sword in the man's hand in black was unsheathed, seven or eight strong men fell to the ground instantly. An Shiqing was dumbfounded, but An Shilu was so angry that he cursed his mother repeatedly, so he straddled his horse, took out the sword from his waist, and rushed forward. The minions who fell on the ground quickly rolled and crawled to make way for the young master. . The man in black remained unmoved. When An Shilu's green horse was about to come, the man in black turned to the right like lightning and easily dodged. Then a bright knife struck him from the air. Coming down, the man in black raised his sword and blocked it. An Shilu rode his horse and arrived behind the man in black. He turned the horse's head and raised his knife to chop at the man in black.
As expected, the man in black was as light as a swallow, and he hid again in an instant.
When An Shilu saw that he couldn't do anything about him after a few moves, he became impatient and asked his brother An Shiqing for help, "Brother, why don't you come to help! This kid is too crazy."
"He's just passing by, why bother with him?" An Shiqing understood the truth and offered good words to persuade his younger brother.
"This villain is clearly looking for trouble."
At this time, the man in black held his sword horizontally and said coldly: "What! Are you scared?"
Seeing that the man in black was provocative again, An Shilu cursed angrily: "If you're afraid, I'm not your grandfather."
After An Shilu said that, he raised his knife and slashed left and right. The man in black just dodged and did not fight back. At this moment, more and more people gathered around to watch the fun. An Shilu was angry and blushing, and he used all his strength. He chopped off his strength randomly.
"Stop." A loud shout came from the carriage, and the curtain of the carriage seemed to flutter with the sound.
An Shilu turned the horse's head in response, and the two stopped fighting. Lu Zuo and Lu Renxiang hid on the street corner and watched with increasing interest. They stopped and saw that the servants lifted the curtain and Anyuan Shan slowly got out of the carriage.
"What's the business of this good man? He stopped my family's car for no reason." Anyuanshan bowed politely.
The man in black, who had been lowering his head, slowly raised his head, looked at An Yuanshan coldly, and then looked at An Shilu with disdain, "Just ask him!"
"I wonder where my son has offended a hero? Just tell me, I will naturally make the decision for you."
