"In exchange, I'll do her a small favor..." Fang Xiwen stretched and took out a bunch of bottles and jars from the mustard ring.

Then, he placed a bronze mirror on the table, and a handsome face was reflected in the mirror;

He looked at it carefully for a while, then took some black mud and smeared it on his face and rubbed it.

Sun Zhengxuan just watched blankly from the side.

After a while, a young man whose body was corrupted by alcohol and sex appeared in the mirror.

Then, he blinked, his clear eyes became cloudy, and his whole body began to exude the smell of money.

"Third Young Master, what is this?"

"Hehehe, this is the original skin."

Chapter 188 If it's Mr. Fang, then it's OK

The few days in Xingping City passed by in a flash.

The news that the fourth son of the Yuwen family was hosting a banquet at Lixiang Tower soon spread throughout the city with the help of some people who were either overtly or covertly fanning the flames.

Naturally, the common people overwhelmingly supported City Lord Lin. On the one hand, some people were indeed harmed by Yuwen Yu, and on the other hand, the local residents had never been very nice to such aristocratic families.

While enjoying the privileges, one also has to put on an attitude of superiority - there is no such thing as the awakening of "are there any kings, princes, generals or ministers of different races" in this world, but secret cursing is inevitable.

Fang Xiwen, who had entered the city, had not made any moves in the past few days. He had been practicing the Bi Luo Sword Sutra quietly in his room.

Without the guidance of the sword immortal, his understanding of the way of the sword was just mediocre, but he had been practicing the Biluo Heart Method for some time and had gained a lot.

But there is a question that always bothers him: How is the meaning of sea tide connected to the meaning of life and death?

Life originated from the ocean and eventually returned to the ocean...?

It always feels far-fetched.

Jiang Xizhi had mentioned before that there was a place with the same name in ancient books, but he never found it, so he put it aside. I must find him to confirm it when I get a chance.

In addition to practicing, he often visited Lao Liu's roadside stall.

According to Lao Liu, the main reason why he stayed here to sell sweet potatoes was because he had feelings for Xingping.

"Even though it didn't flourish under my leadership, it's enough to see it getting better little by little."

"Why do you sell sweet potatoes? Of course, it's because I was standing too high before and overlooked a lot of things..."

As he said these words, Lao Liu's smoke-blackened face wrinkled and he squinted subconsciously as if trying to see something clearly, but in the end he just laughed it off.

Fang Xiwen knew that this person had not given up his official career, but whether he was truly serving the people or just pretending was another matter.

But he didn't care about that. He would come over and chat with Lao Liu whenever he had time.

"We shouldn't go to this Lixiang Tower. It's like the Hongmen Banquet."

“…What’s this story? You seem to read a lot of weird books.” Old Liu obviously didn’t care about business, but was quite interested in chatting with him. Sometimes he was too lazy to push the car and would just squat outside the city waiting for him.

The two men squatted on the side of the road with their sleeves rolled up, each expressing their views on the banquet. Finally, Lao Liu took out a pipe, tapped it on the curb a few times, and puffed and spit out:

"The key to this matter lies in the attitude of the royal family. If the higher-ups clearly support the Yuwen family, then Xinggong will either withdraw or become dependent on them. There is no other way."

"Indeed. In my opinion, City Lord Lin has stretched her hand a little too far. Her reputation is too high. If she pushes the old emperor too far, I don't know what he will do.

Yuwen Yu probably saw this point and planned to give him some advice."

Having said that, Fang Xiwen patted his butt and stood up.

Old Liu put down his pipe and smiled, revealing his yellow teeth: "Why, you want to join the game?"

"There's no such thing as being in or out. I've already been in the bureau."

After all, he is a subordinate of his own Saint Lady, so he has to help him; not to mention, he and Lin Huazhi are friends and can make fun of each other.

The day for the banquet soon arrived.

As the city lord, Lin Huazhi naturally would not go in person, but handed it over to her deputy, a girl named Xiaoxuan.

Xiaoxuan is petite, about the same height as the Saint, with delicate features and strong ability to handle affairs.

A group of little demon girls were waiting at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Before leaving, Xiaoxuan tugged at the corner of the maid's clothes and said in a trembling voice: "Huazhi, I, I'm a little nervous..."

"Why are you so nervous? I'll go too," the tall, conservatively dressed maid patted her shoulder and encouraged her, "I'll be right next to you, so don't let anything slip."

After all, she is a demon girl from the Star Palace. Everyone knows some skills of disguise, although Lin Huazhi's usual style is not demon-like at all.

This girl is always straightforward.

There were not many people attending the party, and the little fairies who couldn't go with the party said a few kind words to comfort them, and a sedan chair came out from the corner of the street.

The sedan chair looked like a wedding, with embroidered flowers on the four corners and red curtains hanging on both sides.

"This is specially prepared by Young Master Yu. Please get in the sedan." The driver's nostrils were raised to the sky and he moved crookedly.

After several people got on the carriage, the little demon girls raised their voices as the sedan started moving: "Hey, Master Yu, you called him so nicely, but he ended up harming innocent families.

A bunch of bastards who gave birth to sons without buttholes..."

The girls were pretty, but they also cursed in dirty ways. The driver staggered and carried the sedan chair away in shame.

...

...

As the name suggests, Lixianglou is a high-end brothel where the courtesans sell their art but not their bodies.

If you want to get in, you must first have status, otherwise you can't even step over the threshold; after you're done, you pay the money and have tea. If the girls don't like it, you can just listen to the music in the lobby and leave.

The layout inside the building was also very thoughtful, using the Star Palace's unique starry sky - although it was just a small trick for the seductresses - it was fresh and had a wild feeling of the sky being the blanket and the ground being the bed, and was well received.

At this time, Yuwen Yu was forcing his way in with a group of servants.

Naturally the guards couldn't enter such a high-end place. He knew this very well and was just looking for an excuse to cause trouble.

"boom!"

There was only a muffled sound, and the still charming old procuress was knocked flying, smashing a table and scattering things all over the floor.

"What do you want to do!"

Lixiang Tower is Xinggong's property, so naturally there is a group of little fairies serving as guards. Seeing this, they blocked the door.

Next to Yuwen Yu was a burly man with a scar on his face. Seeing what happened, he said nothing, walked straight to the door, and drew his sword, making three straight strikes!

A strong "王" character fell on the pillar. The surface was still intact, but the inside had been completely destroyed.

Five Tigers Breaking Door Sword!

This man had eight orifices, and the little demon girls knew that they could not defeat him even if they rushed forward, but they could not lose the battle. They did not move.

"Ladies, if you don't give way, don't blame me for being ruthless." Yu Wenyu bowed gracefully and waved casually.

The swordsman glanced sideways, without moving his feet, and casually extended and retracted the tip of his sword.

puff.

A stream of blood spurted out, and a small cut appeared on the face of the leading guard, and the long hair beside his ear broke off.

They were injured before they could even see how the other party attacked.

"What are you doing!"

With a loud shout, Xiaoxuan jumped off the sedan chair, ran over to stop the guard behind her, glared at Yuwen Yu, and said word by word: "Holding a banquet on our territory and attacking our people... Is this the family education of the Yuwen family?

Or is this Master Yu's way of entertaining guests?"

The confrontation between the two sides had already begun before entering the door.

"Oh, you all know that I want to entertain guests," Yuwen Yu raised his lips, and opened the folding fan in his hand with a snap: "Ah Hu and I are as close as brothers, but these people are blocking him like pigs and dogs and not letting him in... This should be considered Xinggong's territory, right?

What does this mean? "

Seeing this, Xiaoxuan's face turned slightly pale, and she felt a little suspicious;

After all, they were the ones who started the fight first, so it's not impossible for them to take the opportunity to attack...but Yu Wenyu's attitude is problematic.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xiaoxuan snorted coldly, said nothing, and walked into Lixiang Tower; several guards were taken away for treatment.

The sturdy man Ah Hu who had taken action followed Yuwen Yu over the threshold, and the rest of his followers were left outside the door.

The group walked up the stairs to the second floor. Yu Wenyu stared at the tall figure at the end of the team and smiled meaningfully.

In the private room, two groups of people sat down separately.

Because Xingping is located at the junction of Jianglong, the layout of the house also has a mixed meaning;

There are screens painted with flowers, birds, and the moon on all four sides, but the tableware used to serve the dishes is large bowls with large necks, which look like a heroic man pinching his fingers like an orchid. It is very strange, but has a unique charm.

The table was filled with food and wine, with bright colors and fragrant aromas.

"Well, this Huajianzui is really the best wine," Yuwen Yu held a wine glass and shook it with his right hand. The light yellow wine was churning inside. "Good wine should be paired with a beautiful woman. What do you think?"

"Hehe, I thought Mr. Yu could drink more. Maybe this is the last time." Xiaoxuan sneered.

"Really? I think there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, haha!"

Seeing his attitude, Lin Huazhi, who was dressed as a maid, narrowed her eyes slightly;

After being in power for such a long time, she is no longer the star girl who used to shout and yell at the negotiating table, so she can naturally see a lot of things.

Yuwen Yu represents the will of the Yuwen family to some extent - they don't even take the mere aristocratic family like Xinggong seriously - the problem is the Gao family and the royal family behind them.

"Yes, I collected a very interesting anecdote before. I heard that Chief Lin once satirized the Six Gates who were eating the government's food, saying that they were just sitting there doing nothing. Is this true?" Yuwen Yu said with a smile.

"A bunch of nonsense."

"Really? Ha, regardless of whether this is true or not, Chief Lin has also started eating at the government's table. I wonder if he's doing better than them?"

"Of course. I wonder what Master Yu meant by bringing this up?"

Knowing that Lin Huazhi was right behind her, Xiaoxuan seemed very confident.

"What do you mean? It's because City Lord Lin did too well, and some people are unhappy!" Yu Wenyu leaned back and laughed, "You have crossed the line, and the higher-ups are very unhappy."

This is of course false, the Gao family cannot take care of this small town at the moment.

But since the people in Xinggong have no way to confirm it, it is the best reason to use it as a warning.

"What do you mean by crossing the line? We are just doing our job..."
