Chapter 5 Chaos Journey to the East No.28 Wulong Zuixianlou
When it was getting dark, two huge convoys arrived at Yaodu.
The silver eagle flag with a green background and the golden dragon banner with a purple background were placed in the two most luxurious inns in Yaodu respectively. Although the two groups would go their separate ways after leaving the city tomorrow morning, I had been physically and mentally tortured by the big fox all the way and I really didn't have the strength to endure the torture of dining at the same table with him. I had to reluctantly bid farewell to Xiaotao in tears and honestly followed Lian Zuo back to the inn where King Luo's convoy was staying.
It is easy to get tired when traveling. After a whole day of traveling, I was also very tired. I wanted to turn down the complicated etiquette of the local official welcoming banquet and enjoy the ancient version of room service in the room. But when I was worrying about whether to tip the waiter and how much to tip, Qingqing suddenly got me out of bed, dressed me up, and then handed me to Guoer, stuffed me into the sedan chair and rushed to Zuixianlou.
Crossing the Golden Rule No. 6:
The famous restaurant must be called Zuixianlou.
The waiter, who was frightened by my silly smile on the plaque, led us to the private room on the second floor with trepidation.
The worst part of ancient wooden houses is the toilet, followed by the stairs! It creaks, and it's uneven, and uneven, but it actually breaks? ! !
After I stepped on empty air, I screamed and instinctively reached out to grab Guo'er who was beside me. It would have been fine if Guo'er had held me and taken my foot out of the shoddy construction. But, however, however, why was the big fox here too? Why did the big fox, Luo Wang, and Lian Zuo all fly over to help me? ! Why were the four of them exerting their strength in different directions? ! ! Why did this group of martial arts masters make things worse! ! ! !
Just when the four of them were confused as to which Qigong or Qinggong their eight hands were using, they heard a loud "click"!
The surroundings suddenly became quiet...
"Guo...Guo'er, you are a martial artist and have sharp ears. Did that sound just now... come from my ankle? Huh?"
“……”Guoer didn’t dare to look me in the eyes .
"Lian...Lian Zuo?"
"Which sound?" Lian Zuo responded with gritted teeth.
"Crack... Crack, crack, just 'crack' ahh ...
Guo'er lifted me up gently, and Lian Zuo stretched out his hand to pull my feet. The big fox suddenly shouted, "Don't touch her!" and let go of Lian Zuo's hand. The person pulling was exerting force, and the person putting my feet down was also exerting force. With the left and right exerting force, there was a "click" sound!
“Mmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I was already twitching as King Luo covered my mouth… I was screaming madly in my heart--
I-am-going-to-slaughter-you!!!!!!!!!Ahh----!!! ...

There was only one table in the private room on the top floor of Yaodu Zuixianlou, with two men and one woman sitting at it, and three servants standing beside them.
The girl came from an unknown background. She had short, thin hair and was dressed gorgeously. Her face was puffy and red, perhaps from anger or pain. Her round eyes, which were filled with tears, glared at the men at the table with resentment. Her pink little mouth was tightly pursed. Her left foot was placed on a stool and her ankle was simply bandaged.
The two men, one dignified and elegant, the other elegant and graceful, all looked around, not daring to meet the girl's angry eyes. The two guards, one stern and the other silent, all looked out the window pretending to be nothing, not daring to look directly at the girl's swollen ankle. A servant, with a face full of ghostly cleverness, glanced from one person to another with a gloating look...
What is going on here? What kind of weird atmosphere is this? Why do I feel a chill down my spine? Mom~ ...
"Brother Xiaoer, could you please move a table and two stools to the window?" The girl said to Xiaoer with a sweet smile. Xiaoer felt so comfortable.
"What are you going to do now?" King Luo frowned.
The girl rolled her eyes at King Luo, and the waiter almost fainted! She, she, she, she, she actually dared to glare at King Luo! ! ! ! !
"I don't want to eat with you. Lian You~ accompany me to the window to eat~"
"No!" the two men said in unison.
The girl lowered her head and said gloomily:
“…Ka…”
The two men fell into awkward silence.
King Luo finally said, "Do as she says."
Xiao Er's jaw fell off...
The girl and the clever-looking attendant sat leisurely by the window, eating cakes happily.
The two men were left alone at another table.
"Please, what would you like to order?" The waiter nodded and bowed while pouring tea.
"Bring the most famous, delicious, and expensive dishes from Zuixianlou to our table," the girl suddenly said, "as for their table, just serve some tea."
"Ah...ah?" The waiter was stunned!
“Minmin... don’t go too far!” The man with narrow eyes opposite King Luo said in a deep voice.
A cold light flashed in the girl's eyes, and she whispered gloomily:
“…Ka-la…”
The slender-eyed master was silent, and King Luo said helplessly: "Do as she says."
Xiao Er no longer has a chin...
"Hey! Wait a minute, Xiaoer brother, please clear away the cakes, fruits and cold dishes on their table. Thank you for your help." The girl smiled sweetly again, and this time no one dared to object...
It was chilly in the private room of Zuixianlou...

While imagining the chicken leg as a giant fox and Luo Wang and his men, I bit it with my fangs, thinking angrily:
Why did King Luo and the big fox sit together to eat so harmoniously? Is it okay not to attend the welcoming banquet hosted by the local officials?
By the way, this time the march to Beijing and the suppression of the bandits by King Luo and the Big Fox were all made with great fanfare, but the speed of march was also very slow. Why was it done this way? Was it intentional, or was it just a show in ancient times, and I was overthinking it?
Is Prince Luo planning to cooperate with the big fox? If so, then this trip to the imperial capital Changle will inevitably be a bloody storm... or is this just a mutual test?
There is another question that has puzzled me for a long time. Why did Emperor Xi let the big fox go to encircle and suppress the Sixth Prince? Wasn't he afraid that the two of them would take the opportunity to join forces?
Just as she was daydreaming, the waiter beside her suddenly smiled and said attentively: "Miss, you came at the right time. It's the Lantern Festival. It's very lively tonight. After dinner, I'll find a local to take you around for fun, okay?" (The waiter has already determined that Minmin is the leader of this group... well... to some extent... it is true~)
"Oh, yeah, it's such a rare coincidence that we catch the Lantern Festival!" Minmin looked at the four men resentfully, "Playing around everywhere..."
The poor waiter was immediately tortured by the gazes of the four men!
"Oh~haha...well, actually, the street downstairs is so crowded and chaotic, a distinguished lady like you should sit upstairs and listen to some music! It's good to listen to some music, it's good to listen to some music..."
"What a head! How can these soft ancient songs compare to... hum!" How can they compare to the pop songs I listen to nowadays? My Jay Chou, my Shin Band, my Sarah Brightman...
"Hey! You're right!" The waiter got even more excited, "Miss, you don't know, this month a foreign musician came to Yaodu, with blond hair and blue eyes, and the songs he sang were all unheard of! Very novel! It is said that only Miss Minmin from Qiuye City can compare with him~"
"Oh? Really?" Blonde hair and blue eyes? That's interesting~
"That's right! By the way, we have invited him to perform at Zuixianlou . You can hear the commotion downstairs, so it should start soon!"
I also became interested in what he said, or maybe it was just out of a competitive spirit?
"Okay, I want to go see it too!" He turned to Guo'er excitedly, "Guo'er, help me go downstairs, I want to see the show!"
"No. Your feet need to rest."
My face suddenly darkened, my eyes turned cold, and I said grimly:
“…Ka…”
"Okay, I'll take you there!" Guoer interrupted me hurriedly.
After a lot of trouble, I finally sat down in the hall on the first floor. The stage here was far inferior to the one I had in Zangchunlou, but it was simple and bright.
We came down late and sat far away. We could only vaguely see a tall man sitting lazily in the middle of the stage. His hair seemed to be golden. The rest of his face was not clear. He was playing a strange instrument in his hand. I don’t know if it was a pipa…
The noise gradually died down, and the man plucked the strings gently. The tune was so melodious that I didn't know why, but it felt so familiar to me! Until he sang the first line:
"Dear Mom and Dad~~
How are you guys?
I was fine in ancient times, but I just felt a little homesick..."
"Puff--!!" The whole sip of my tea went to the waiter's face!
Silly.
