Seeing this, the Taoist nun in gray quickly flew over and fell next to the girl in white. She quickly revived the girl in white, then gave Feiyun a vicious look and led everyone away in embarrassment.
Feiyun and others did not attack, but just watched them retreat. Mei Mei wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Fei Yun. Feiyun said: "If you have to be merciful, please be merciful. Although they have made mistakes, their crimes are not punishable by death, so let them leave!"
Feiyun immediately mounted his horse and continued on his way with Tianxiang and others. After a few days, the four of them entered Jinling City. It was already very late at this time, so Feiyun and others had no choice but to walk while looking for an inn. Suddenly I looked up and saw tall buildings appearing one after another. There is a red plaque hanging on the gate, which reads three golden characters "Feng Wu Lou". On both sides of the gate is a couplet: The singing has been lingering for three days, and the graceful dance is famous in all nine states. The font is full of dragons and phoenixes, strong and powerful, showing that it is written by a famous artist.
While Feiyun was watching, a waiter came out and invited the four people in. After entering the door, Feiyun looked up and saw that the inside was very spacious. Directly opposite was a large stage four or five feet away, with more than ten tables neatly placed in front of the stage. There are carved beams and painted pillars inside, and the decoration is extremely luxurious and elegant. On the right side of the entrance, there is a door two feet away. Above the door is written "Guest at Home". There is also a gate two feet away on the left, with the words "Dongting Delicious" written above the gate.
The waiter said: "Four guests, opposite is our Fengwulou singing and dancing stage, on the right is the inn, and on the left is the restaurant. It is dinner time, so you won't be able to see the singing and dancing. If you want to stay, you can do it after eating , I’ll take you to see the guest room.”
Feiyun looked at it and felt very satisfied, so he said: "Okay, we will stay in your inn temporarily. Sister Tianxiang, what do you think?" Tianxiang and others had no objection and nodded in agreement. The man was overjoyed and hurriedly took the four of them to the inn and settled down quickly.
Early the next morning, Feiyun got up early. Feiyun did not wake up Tianxiang and the other three, but stood up alone and left the Fengwu Building. He wanted to go to the Jinling Beggar Clan Branch Helmsman. After all, when he was in the capital, Elder Lu once told him that when he arrived in Jinling, he could ask the Branch Helmsmen for help if he needed help. Feiyun thought that since he had just arrived, he naturally wanted to pay a visit.
There are few pedestrians on the street in the early morning. Feiyun walked around looking for disciples of the Beggar Clan. Only when he saw them could he find out the address of the Beggar Clan branch. Feiyun walked for a long time before he met a little beggar. I saw that the beggar was about ten years old and was carrying a cloth bag. He seemed to be a new disciple of the Beggar Gang. Feiyun stepped forward quickly, raised his hand to him, and said, "Good morning, little brother. I have something to ask for advice."
The beggar opened his hazy sleepy eyes, looked at Feiyun, and asked, "What's the matter with you?" Feiyun said, "I'm a friend of Elder Lu of your gang. I want to see the branch helmsman of your gang. But I don't know. Where is the branch of your gang? Could you please give me some advice?"
When the beggar heard this, he immediately asked warily: "Since he is the elder's friend, why didn't he tell you?" Feiyun saw that he didn't believe him, so he hurriedly took out Elder Lu's elder token, handed it to the beggar, and said: " I was so anxious that I forgot to ask. This is a token given by Elder Lu, please see it, little brother."
The beggar took the token, looked at it carefully, and then handed it back to Feiyun and said, "It's really Elder Lu's token. Where did you meet Elder Lu? But I have something to do now and I can't take you there. ." Feiyun said: "More than a month ago, I met Elder Lu several times when I was in charge of the beggar gang in the capital. That doesn't matter, I'll just find him myself." The beggar nodded and gestured toward the north of Yueyang Tower. , informed Feiyun in detail about the location of the Beggar Clan's sub-rudder. Feiyun thanked the beggar and headed north.
Feiyun walked for about half an hour and arrived at a small village in the north of the city. This village is close to the Yangtze River and has dozens of families. Feiyun walked in and came to the Earth Temple that the beggar mentioned just now, where the Beggar Clan's branch office was located.
There were a few beggars sitting in front of the temple gate. Feiyun walked up to them, bowed his hands to them, and said, "Brothers, please ask. Is this the Jinling Branch of the Beggar Clan?" Upon hearing this, the beggars said, Suddenly, one of them asked: "Who are you? What's the matter?"
Feiyun quickly took out the token, handed it over, and said, "I'm Lin Feiyun. I'm a friend of Elder Lu of your gang. I have something to ask you to see the helmsman." The beggar took it and looked at it, and said, "Yes, it's Elder Lu's. Token. Please wait here, young hero, I will report it to the helmsman."
Not long after the beggar entered, a man came out. Feiyun took a look at this man. He was about forty years old, more than eight feet tall, with a dignified appearance and strong and powerful steps. He was obviously a master of the family. I also saw eight cloth bags on his back, and thought that this man must be the helmsman of Jinling Branch.
Feiyun stepped forward quickly and was about to speak. The man laughed several times, the sound was like a bell, and said first: "A distinguished guest is here. Song Chengfeng, please forgive me for being a little far away to welcome you." Then he bowed his hand to Feiyun, who quickly returned the greeting and said: "Young man, I took the liberty of visiting you. , please forgive me, Senior Song. I must be the helmsman of Jinling Branch?"
Song Chengfeng nodded and said: "This is Song Chengfeng. Young Master Xia Lin is a friend of Elder Xu Lu, so there is no need to see anyone outside. I welcome you, please speak inside!" After saying that, he returned the elder's token. Feiyun. Feiyun thanked Song Chengfeng and followed him into the main hall inside.
Song Chengfeng first asked Feiyun to sit aside, took a seat among himself, and asked: "When did Young Master Lin meet Elder Xu of our gang?" Feiyun replied: "More than a month ago, I was at the helm of your gang in the capital." Song Chengfeng asked: "Young Master Lin, when did you come here? How is Elder Lu? May I ask what you have to say when you come to our helm?"
Feiyun said: "I just arrived in Jinling yesterday. Everything is fine with Elder Lu. I came here because I have something to ask for, and I hope the helmsman can help me." Song Chengfeng said: "Young hero, please speak out. It's okay, as long as it's within my ability." Things are bound to happen.”
Feiyun told Song Chengfeng about the two groups of bandits he encountered on the way to Jinling, as well as those strange people. Song Chengfeng thought for a while and told Feiyun that the first group of people he met should be the Qixia Five Tigers. The second group of people he met should be Mujiazhai in Qixia Mountain. These are the two major forces in Qixia Mountain, but Mujiazhai has greater influence. As for the Taoist nun, Lu Chengfeng knew nothing about it.
Lu Chengfeng promised to stop it as much as possible and tell Feiyun as soon as there was news. Feiyun quickly thanked Song Chengfeng and told him to stay in the hotel in Fengwu Building for the time being.
Upon hearing this, Song Chengfeng pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Young hero Xia Lin is really good at choosing places. There are many people coming and going in Fengwu Tower, and there are all kinds of people. It is the most lively place in Jinling City. You There, as long as you pay a little attention, you should be able to find some clues."
Feiyun asked in surprise: "Is this Fengwu Tower that famous?" Song Chengfeng said: "Young hero doesn't know that the singing and dancing in Fengwu Tower is the best in Jinling, not to mention that all the women are beautiful. It is like a flower. At the same time, the wine and food inside can also be regarded as fine wine and delicacies. Therefore, it is extremely attractive, and people from all walks of life often gather there."
Feiyun said "Oh" and said: "I didn't expect that Fengwu Tower has such a great charm. Captain Song, I won't disturb you much. I will say goodbye and go back, waiting for good news from the Captain. ." Feiyun said, stood up, and saluted Song Chengfeng. Song Chengfeng also stood up and said: "That's fine, I won't keep you here. Don't worry, young hero, as soon as there is news, I will go and inform people." After Feiyun thanked him again and again, he said goodbye and left the helm. , heading back towards Fengwu Tower.
When Feiyun returned to Fengwu Tower, it was almost noon. When I arrived at the door, I heard the orchestra playing in unison and the singing singing melodiously. It was very lively. Feiyun walked in and saw a beautiful and gorgeously dressed young girl singing a beautiful piece of music on the opposite stage, and several equally young and beautiful girls were dancing beside her. More than a dozen tables under the stage were already full. Feiyun looked around, trying to find a seat to sit down. He knew nothing about music, and he just wanted to know if he could learn something from these spectators.
At this moment, a girl came over and said to Feiyun: "Young Master Lin, there are no empty seats in the audience. The host has told us that if you want to enjoy our singing and dancing here, please follow me to the upstairs seats on both sides."
Feiyun looked at the girl and said, "What do you call me girl? You don't need the private seats. Just find an empty seat under the stage." The girl said, "My name is Ru Ge. From now on, young hero, just call me by my name. Don't Call me a girl, I don’t dare to be a maid.” Feiyun smiled and said, “What’s wrong with that? Your landlord probably won’t mind.”
Ruge glanced at the audience and said, "Please follow me. There is a regular customer over there, and he occupies a table by himself. I'll go talk to him. You should go and sit with him. There should be no problem." Feiyun said: "Then there's Miss Lao Ruge!" Ruge turned around and walked forward, Feiyun followed slowly. The two of them were approaching the table when they suddenly heard someone shouting loudly at the door: "My young master wants to book the table, and the rest of the crowd should leave immediately!" The voice was so loud that it suppressed all the sounds in the hall. Obviously this person is a martial arts practitioner and is full of energy.
Upon hearing this, Feiyun and Ruge stopped in unison and looked towards the door. I saw eight burly men entering the door. They all wore single swords and dressed up, and they walked in surrounded by a young master. The young man had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was tall and tall. He was dressed in brocade clothes, with a sword on his waist and a folding fan in his hand. He looked somewhat dashing. The young man glanced into the lobby, frowned, and looked extremely unhappy. When a man next to him saw it, he hurriedly yelled: "Did you hear that? If you don't go away, don't blame me for being rude!"
As soon as he shouted, the people in the hall suddenly became silent and looked towards the door. Several girls on the stage were so frightened that they stopped singing and dancing and looked at the group of people in horror. Ru Ge's face darkened, and he walked over and asked, "Who are you? Why are you making trouble here?"
