The legend of Dukang

On the second day, Wen Ruyu led Du Shaokang wandering around the capital.

After eating Fuliji's roast chicken, Shuntianfu roast duck, and Fangzhai's sauced pork knuckle, they spent a day wandering around and ate all kinds of snacks in the capital.Being nourished by so many delicacies, Wen Ruyu felt that she had rounded herself up, and even Du Shaokang's pale face had a hint of rosiness.

In the evening, after a busy day, the two sat down in the "Shuixuan Pavilion" on the second floor of Tianranju.As the sun set to the west, the number of people on the street gradually decreased, and the noise of the day disappeared. The setting sun sprinkled a golden layer on the earth, and the entire capital city was shrouded in twilight.

Eating Tianranju's special snacks, watching all kinds of people coming and going on the street, Wen Ruyu couldn't help but relax and lean on the backrest behind her with her eyes closed after a day of running around.

Unfortunately, it didn't take long before I heard a rush of horseshoes on the street.The sound of horseshoes from far to near, did not mean to slow down at all.After a while, a roaring voice was heard: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, you have no eyes."

Being disturbed, Wen Ruyu opened her eyes unhappily, and looked downstairs, only to see two gorgeously dressed noblemen riding on tall horses, passing through the street one after the other, not shying away from the traffic on the road at all. pedestrian.The young master who was running ahead on horseback took the time to turn around and tease the people behind him: "This time I will definitely win you."

Wherever they went, people hurriedly gave way, and they couldn't help complaining.

Xiao Er, who came in to deliver durian cakes, saw the situation on the street and couldn't help sighing: "Master Tianbao is racing horses on the street again."

Du Shaokang also saw this scene, frowned, and said in disapproval: "This is too dangerous, what if I bump into someone? I'm not afraid of being arrested by the Governor of Gyeonggi."

After hearing Du Shaokang's words, the waiter in the shop glanced at him as if he had seen a ghost, put down the plate and went out without making a sound.

Wen Ruyu also saw the man on horseback, glanced at Du Shaokang who didn't know why, and said with a smile: "The one on the horse in front is called Li Tianbao, and he is the brother-in-law of Du Ruosheng, the young master of Fengming Villa. Naturally, no one dares to care about him."

"Fengming Villa?" Du Shaokang looked at Wen Ruyu suspiciously.

Wen Ruyu smiled knowingly: "Mr. is not from the Jianghu, and he has lived in Cuiping Town for a long time. It is normal to not know the things outside. However, in the future, when you meet people in Fengming Villa, don't provoke them, and don't talk too much, so as not to cause trouble ! This natural residence is the property of Fengming Villa."

"Oh?" This aroused Du Shaokang's curiosity, "Although I have just left the town not long ago, I have also heard about the reputation of Tianyun Villa, so I wonder what is so great about Fengming Villa that Brother Wen is so taboo? "

"Mr. Du doesn't know that the land price in Sifang Street is very expensive. Most of the people who can have a shop here are relatives of the emperor. No matter how rich ordinary people are, they can't come in. I heard that the ancestors of Fengming Villa followed Wu Shengzu to fight. Tianxia, ​​after the founding of the country, retired from success and started a business, and has some relationship with the world and the officialdom. In fact, there is only Fengming Villa, and we Tianyun Villa will not pay attention to it, but ten years ago, Fengming A powerful person appeared in the villa - Du Yuesheng."

Seeing that Du Shaokang didn't speak, Wen Ruyu continued: "This Du Yuesheng is another legend in the Jianghu after he was the top of the world. Although there are decades of difference between the two, they have strange similarities: the same youth became famous, the same Established extraordinary meritorious deeds, but also died young. But Du Yuesheng paid homage to Ling Jueding and admired him so much that he even named his own set of exercises after Ling Jueding!"

Du Shaokang: "Extreme skill?"

Wen Ruyu: "Extremely magical!"

Du Shaokang: "..."

Wen Ruyu looked at Du Shaokang's speechless face, smiled unkindly, and continued: "Du Yuesheng is the eldest son of Du Aotian, the current owner of Fengming Villa. At the age of 14, he almost beat all the invincible players in the world. He was the number one master in black and white at that time. At the age of 16, he defeated the famous young hero 'Xiaoxiao Muyu' Xiao Ziyi, and became best friends with him. After that, he founded the world's number one In the "Flame Moon League", Du Yuesheng also became the youngest leader of the alliance. He was famous all over the world for a while, and even Shaolin and Wudang were courteous. But it is a pity that Du Yuesheng had a duel with the head of the Demon Sect eight years ago, and was plotted against by the Demon Sect. He got hit by a palm and fell from Mount Hua, only 17 years old."

Wen Ruyu said with great regret: "Heaven is really jealous of the talent, but unfortunately I have never had the chance to meet him." After speaking, he took a piece of durian cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

Du Shaokang said indifferently: "Even if Du Yuesheng contributes to the righteous way of martial arts, his family members can't bully others and run amok in the city!"

Wen Ruyu rolled his eyes at him and thought: This nerd really only reads the books of sages and sages, and doesn't understand human relations at all!But I have to explain: "Not everyone has Mr. Du's self-cultivation. In this world, there are many people who pretend to be powerful. Although Du Yuesheng is dead, his reputation is still there. The Flame Moon League has continued to grow in popularity over the past few years. It is said in the Jianghu that it is already the number one sect in the martial arts. In front of the Yanyue League, our Tianyun Villa also has to stand back. The current leader of the Yanyue League is Xiao Ziyi, and Du Yuesheng is a close friend and brother. I heard that he has always Lan Yanyue, the cousin of the Du family, is still unmarried because of her. Oh, it is a matter of time before the two families get married. The old man of the Du family has been in poor health for the past few years and has not been in charge of things. The business of the Du family has been handed over to the next Son Du Ruosheng, this Du Ruosheng is mediocre in martial arts, and he is really good at managing money. In the past few years, his business has grown bigger and bigger. With the strong financial resources of the Du family and the support of the Yanyue League, it is said that one person can become an immortal, and the immortal As for chickens and dogs, it is inevitable that there will be some villains below. The so-called beating of dogs depends on the owner. If there is no major incident, people in the world and in the officialdom are not willing to get involved in right and wrong."

Looking at Du Shaokang's thoughtful face, he thought that he was a scholar and couldn't turn around for a while. Just as Wen Ruyu wanted to enlighten him a few more words, there was another sound of horseshoes downstairs, and after a while a young man knocked on the door and came in, He bowed and said, "Young Master Wen, the Marquis of Dingguo has a letter for you." After speaking, he presented the letter respectfully with both hands.

Wen Ruyu accepted the letter, took out a few taels of silver from her pocket to reward the boy, opened the envelope casually, glanced at it casually, and immediately changed her expression.

Du Shaokang noticed that there was a change in his expression and immediately asked why.

Wen Ruyu said with a sullen face: "Fang Junheng was attacked in the Hou's mansion, and now he is unconscious, please let me go there."

Dingguohou's Mansion is some distance away from Sifang Street.It's already dusk now, people who should have dispersed have dispersed, the street is a bit quiet, and the road is smooth.The two quickly arrived in front of a prominent mansion. The plaque of "Dingguohou's Mansion" hung high, and two white marble stone lions squatted on both sides of the gate, which was very imposing.

Wen Ruyu has a close relationship with Jieyou, and unlike ordinary Jiang Hu people who have many taboos about the government, they often come to the Hou's Mansion as guests when they are in the capital, and all the servants of the Hou's Mansion know each other.

At this time, it happened to be the time to light the lamps, a sharp-eyed boy turned his head and saw them, and immediately yelled loudly: "Oh, go in and report, Mr. Wen is here!" Immediately ran to report.

The two got off their horses one after another, Wen Ruyu was familiar with the way, threw the reins to the guard at the gate, and directly led Du Shaokang into the gate of the Hou Mansion.

"Where is Jieyou? You called me so urgently, why didn't you come out to meet me?" Wen Ruyu asked the servant beside him as he walked around a long corridor.

The servant carefully apologized and said with a smile: "Second young master has entered the palace with Lord Hou."

"Entered the palace?" Wen Ruyu was puzzled, but after thinking about it, she understood: after all, Fang Yunheng is the grandson of Elder Fang Ge and the eldest princess, and also a relative of the emperor.Now the unexplained poisoning is of course no small matter, and he should go to the palace to report it.Just as she was thinking, an imposing young man walked towards her. Wen Ruyu was taken aback for a moment, and the servant next to her immediately saluted, "Master."

Wen Ruyu just found out that this is Jieyou's elder brother Jie Tianchou - the youngest fourth-rank servant since the founding of Daliang.According to Wen Feng, since he was 14 years old, Jie Tianchou has been regarded as a role model by the elders of various officials and officials, and compared with his own children, he can't help being inferior to others.What "read poems and books", "gentle and courteous", "respect teachers", "caring for younger generations"... Thinking of these, Wen Ruyu couldn't help but carefully scrutinized the person in front of her, and had to say she was a little disappointed: it was normal One person doesn't have many noses or eyes.

Du Shaokang also carefully looked at the man in front of him, always feeling somewhat familiar.Everyone in Xie's family looks good. Jie Tianchou and Jieyou have similar outlines, equally handsome, but they are less cold and arrogant than Jieyou, and more mature and restrained.Du Shaokang shook his head and smiled: "Maybe this person resembles Jieyou, so I think I've seen him somewhere."But in terms of resemblance, it seems to be somewhat similar to Fang Yunheng, he really deserves to be a cousin!

When Jie Tianchou saw Wen Ruyu, he immediately walked over with a smile on his face.

Wen Ruyu quickly put on an adoring face of "I've wanted to know you for a long time", clasped his fists in both hands, and saluted respectfully: "Ruyu pays homage to Brother Tianchou." baby look.

Jie Tianchou obviously liked this kind of thing, he quickly helped Wen Ruyu up, and said with a smile: "Get up, everyone, you don't have to be so polite, although my brother has never met a good brother, but the name of a good brother is like thunder, every time Jie You Mentioning my virtuous brother is full of praise!"

Wen Ruyu promised in her mouth: "The elder brother is too much, but the younger brother dare not." She thought in her heart: I'm bluffing!Just Jieyou's stuffy gourd mouth, I've never seen him praise others, I didn't expect that Jie Tianchou, who looks honest on the face, actually doesn't write drafts when he lies.Even though I thought this way in my heart, I still had to continue to put on a face: "Brother is famous, but younger brother is the one who can be heard! It's just a pity that every time I come back to the house as a guest, I just happen to catch up with my brother going out. Seeing you today is really a lifetime of comfort."

What Wen Ruyu said made Xie Tianchou happy from ear to ear, so much so that he kept chatting with him for a long time.When Wen Ruyu's words of flattery were about to run out, Jie Tianchou mercifully discovered Du Shaokang behind Wen Ruyu.
