Although the surname Dong can be regarded as the number one master among this group of martial artists who take care of the family, his martial arts are too commonplace, and he is not even as good as the third- and fourth-rate disciples in the ordinary gangs in the rivers and lakes. It was the strong autumn wind that approached him without much effort and slapped him lightly on the right shoulder. The internal force was everywhere, which blocked the blood of the surnamed Dong, and his right arm was sore and frightened, and the long sword in his hand could no longer be held, and the sound of "bang" fell to the ground.

Li Qiufeng originally planned to shake off the long sword in his hand, so he immediately captured this person and took him to a no-man's land to ask Zhang Yuanwai where he lived. After the long sword surnamed Dong landed, Li Qiufeng was about to rush forward to seal his acupoint, and then take him away. Unexpectedly, the long sword surnamed Dong fell to the ground, turned around and ran away, instantly blending into the martial artists on the south side. The speed was so fast that Li Qiufeng was dumbfounded.

Seeing that the long sword surnamed Dong was dancing very quickly, the martial artists forced Li Qiufeng to retreat from the entrance of the street to the middle of the street, and it seemed that he had the upper hand. Although some people were jealous of the showmanship surnamed Dong, the heads of all the families were watching the excitement in front of the door, and everyone did not dare to be sloppy, waving the weapons in their hands, surrounding Li Qiufeng and surnamed Dong, and moving with the two of them to the middle of the Sifang Alley. It's just that Li Qiufeng suddenly counterattacked, and shot down the long sword in the hand surnamed Dong between the lightning and flint. The martial artists were shocked, and before they could react, the one surnamed Dong had already rushed into the crowd, like a frightened rabbit, instantly passed through the crowd and escaped dozens of steps away.

These warriors looked at each other, and after a while, everyone shouted, and they scattered. In the blink of an eye, all the martial artists around Li Qiufeng escaped cleanly. The rich families who had been standing in front of the gates of various houses to watch the excitement also turned around and fled into the houses. I only heard the sound of "Titicaca" constantly, but after the rich man fled into the courtyard, he immediately lowered the latch to prevent the strong autumn wind from breaking into the house and committing murder.

Li Qiufeng didn't expect the surname Dong to be so pustular, and he fled far away in the blink of an eye. If Fang Cai Li Qiufeng wanted to capture this person, it would naturally not be difficult. It's just that he didn't expect this person to be so tired, he fled in public regardless of face, and he wanted to chase but might not be able to catch up. When the rest of the martial artists fled, Li Qiufeng didn't bother to embarrass these market disciples, and saw that everyone was scattered, but he didn't chase after them. In the blink of an eye, there was no one on the street of Sifang Lane except for the strong autumn wind.

Li Qiufeng shook his head helplessly, although he was unwilling, he couldn't forcibly break into the houses of these rich families to search for Zhang Yuanwai's residence. He thought for a moment, then turned and headed north, intending to leave the Square Alley first. At this time, the night was dark, and the lanterns on both sides of the long street were dimly lit, casting the shadow of the strong autumn wind on the stone road, which looked extremely desolate.

Seeing that he was about to walk under the stone square at the corner of the street, Li Qiufeng was quite frustrated, and secretly thought that he had to find Zhang Yuanwai tomorrow. Who knew that he had just walked to the front of the stone workshop, and suddenly heard a "squeak", but the door of the first house on the left was opened. Li Qiufeng's heart sank, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a person walking out of the door, arching his hand to him, and said, "This friend, can you take a step to speak?"

Li Qiufeng looked fixedly, and when he saw this person's face clearly, he was surprised and delighted. I saw that this person was wearing a scarf and a gray silk robe, and he was Zhang Yuanwai. Li Qiufeng stopped, pretended to be surprised, and said, "What advice does Mr. have, do you want to embarrass me?"

Zhang Yuanwai walked down the stone steps quickly, until he reached Li Qiufeng, and said: "I see that Your Excellency is a hero, and you have the intention to accept it, and you have no intention of provoking." ”

Li Qiufeng didn't know what Zhang Yuanwai's idea was, so he didn't speak, but just looked Zhang Yuanwai up and down. Zhang Yuanwai saw Li Qiufeng's face with a look of surprise, knowing that he doubted himself, he smiled slightly and said, "I have a few words I want to say to Your Excellency." It's just that this is not the place to talk, can you enjoy the light and sit in our house?"

Li Qiufeng deliberately made a suspicious look, first turned his head to look at Zhang Yuanwai's house, and then stared at Zhang Yuanwai and said, "Mr. doesn't want to lure me into the yard and catch turtles in an urn?"

Zhang Yuanwai waved his hand again and again, and said, "Your Excellency has thought about it. I respect the heroes and heroes the most, just saw your Excellency show your might, and beat those wine bags and rice bags that bully the soft and afraid of the hard to run away, I admire it very much, and I plan to invite Your Excellency to have a drink, I wonder if I can give you face in the next place?"

Li Qiufeng saw Zhang Yuanwai's expectant expression, but it didn't seem to be fake, and he secretly thought what he was really thinking. He was worried that he couldn't find Zhang Yuanwai, so he sent it to the door himself. It's not that he wants to hurt me, but I might as well go to his house and see what this man's intentions are.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng arched his hand and said, "Then bother Mr." ”

When Zhang Yuanwai saw that Li Qiufeng agreed, he was overjoyed, so he immediately invited Li Qiufeng into the house to speak. When the two walked to Zhang Yuanwai's house, there were already two servants waiting at the door, and after the two walked into the courtyard, the two servants closed the door. I saw more than a dozen men and women standing tall and low in the courtyard, all dressed as servants of Zhang Yuanwai's family. Zhang Yuanwai stood on the stone steps in front of the gate, and his face had already changed. I only heard him cough and said coldly: "Distinguished guests come to the door, you all cheer me up!" Second Aunt Lin, you urge the kitchen to burn a table of first-class wine and send it to the water pavilion in the back garden. Boss Guo, you go and clean up the guest room. Yulin's family, boil hot water and keep it ready at any time. ”

After Zhang Yuanwai finished speaking, more than a dozen servants bowed down and agreed. Zhang Yuanwai waved his right hand, and these people hung their heads and retreated. Zhang Yuanwai turned his face, changed his face again, and smiled at Li Qiufeng: "Your Excellency comes with me, let's talk in the garden." ”

Li Qiufeng nodded, and walked into the courtyard with Zhang Yuanwai. Fang couldn't see the situation in the courtyard outside, and at this time he found that the scale of Zhang Yuanwai's house was extremely large, and the courtyard alone was not under the palace of Zhu Shishi. After walking down the stone steps at the gate, there is first a wall of light, on which are engraved the chart of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea. Bypassing the wall, there is the main hall three zhang away. The main hall is carved and painted, and it is extremely luxurious. There are corridors on the left and right sides in front of the main hall, and there are more than a dozen red lanterns hanging under the corridor, which illuminate the surroundings as bright as day. There is a row of side rooms on the left and right sides of the courtyard, with blue bricks and blue tiles, which is quite atmospheric.

Li Qiufeng followed Zhang Yuanwai around the corner gate on the right side of the main hall and arrived at the second courtyard. Although it is slightly smaller than the front yard, it is also magnificent. The yard is planted with exotic flowers and plants, which is quite elegant. Several servants were busy in the courtyard, and when they saw Zhang Yuanwai and Li Qiufeng arriving, they immediately stood aside. It wasn't until the two of them walked over that they went back to work.

Zhang Yuanwai took Li Qiufeng through the second courtyard and walked to the back garden. I saw that this garden is exquisitely structured, with pavilions and pavilions scattered among trees and flowers. Large and small lanterns hang above the trees and high poles, making the garden even more elegant.

While walking with Zhang Yuanwai, Li Qiufeng thought to himself, although the scale of this garden could not be compared with the imperial garden in the palace, it was exquisite and elegant, and it had another taste. When I was in the capital, I heard a fellow Jinyiwei from the Jiangnan errand office say that the mansions of the big families in Jiangnan were magnificent, and the garden courtyard was not only grand in scale, but also quite ingenious, and it was not under the imperial palace garden. Looking at Zhang Yuanwai's house today, I am afraid that it will cost a huge amount of money, and the rich households in Jiangnan are really rich in the world!

Zhang Yuanwai took the strong autumn wind and zigzagged along the bluestone paved path, and after a while, the two of them suddenly saw a clear eye, but they came to the edge of a pond. The pond is not too big, but it is surrounded by trees, flowers and rockeries. When we arrived at the shore of the pond, it was like going to the mountains. At the left end of the pond, there is a nine-curved wooden bridge over the water, which leads to the other end of the pond. And in the center of the nine-curved wooden bridge, a pavilion is built, and the eaves of the heavy pavilion are very exquisite.

Zhang Yuanwai led Li Qiufeng into the pavilion, but saw that there were stone tables and chairs in the pavilion, which were clean and tidy. Zhang Yuanwai invited Li Qiufeng to sit down, and said: "Our house is shabby, and I hope Your Excellency will not laugh at it." ”

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "Mr. is too humble. I have never seen such a magnificent mansion in the next place. To say something ashamed, when I saw Mr. 's house, I was only shocked. If you want to come to the Imperial Palace, that's all you need. ”

Zhang Yuanwai sat down, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Don't you dare to say that." If the government hears about it, I'm afraid it will give me a charge of 'attempting rebellion'. How can our house be as good as Your Excellency said? It's just that there are more houses, and they are full of rude and vulgar things, but Your Excellency laughs. ”
