Pick up the Dragon

Xianzhou is a small city, small, but not poor, it can even be considered rich.The people are healthy and happy, there is no curfew at night, even if the door is not closed, there will be no small thieves.

The only fly in the ointment is that the city is too closed.

This cannot be blamed on the common people. Since the change of dynasty, Xianzhou has become a well-known "abandoned city". There are no officials, no army, and everything related to the court has nothing to do with Xianzhou.

As far as the sky is high and the emperor is far away, if Xianzhou dares to be the second, no one dares to be the first.

However, this "abandoned city" not only did not come to an end due to the imperial court's laissez-faire, but it became more and more vibrant day by day. A small city is full of everything. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

There is no other reason, only because Xianzhou has a backbone, and one person provokes the mainstay.

This person's surname is Peng Mingyu, he was crowned weak half a month ago, the crowning ceremony was more lively than New Year's Eve, the scene was even grander than the emperor's younger sister getting married, the whole Xianzhou was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the streets were empty for thousands of people.The banquet was held for seven days and seven nights, from one end of the long street to the other. The fragrance of the wine was so fragrant that the birds in the sky forgot to return to their nests, and they flew around the city without going.The sound of music, Lingling, circled the beam for three days without end.

The Peng family has been in business for three generations, and in his generation, they are already wealthy.No one can tell why such a young talent is only content in this small town, just like no one can tell why he hasn't married a wife and have children until now. You must know that the people who come to propose marriage every day are enough to fill Peng's house. All the thresholds of the city are broken through three layers inside and outside.

It was night in Xianzhou at this time, the gate of the city was lazily closed, there was no one around, not even a shadow of a soldier guarding the city could be seen.From far away, a caravan came slowly from outside the city, horseshoes beating, and a huge "Peng" business name on the car, rolled in silver and ironed, was illuminated by the lights of the city gate, and it was full of extravagance.

The coachman didn't get out of the car, put his fingers in his mouth and whistled, and the city gate opened by itself, creaking to make way.

When the carriage passed by, the several refrigerators on the city wall reflected the fine light, which was countless powerful arrows.If there is a change, just give an order, and the force of the crossbow can shoot through a three-inch thick iron plate.

The coachman didn't seem to notice it, and leisurely raised his whip, urging the horses to move forward.When the convoy walked away in the night, the city gate creaked and closed again, still nonchalantly refusing to close it tightly, and several pairs of eyes on the city wall were hidden in the darkness together with the iron arrows.

The lights in Peng's house were still brightly lit, and the owner was a night owl, so the servants could only go crazy with him.Loud laughter came from the east chamber from time to time, and an oil lamp that could brighten the eyes was placed in the corner of the table, covered by a lampshade, and the light was as steady as Mount Tai.The person in front of the case crossed his long legs indistinctly, and it was Peng Yu who was watching the account.

Looking at the accounts can laugh at such a ghostly virtue, I am afraid that the whole world will go bankrupt and contribute all their wealth to this thin "account book".

The excellent golden nanmu case was almost buried in disorganized ledgers, and the oil lamp on the corner of the table was run on and crumbling.Peng Yu was holding a book that he didn't know what it was, and touched a handful of melon seeds from the fruit plate on the table that pressed the ledger. There was a mess around the chair.

Fortunately, there are no rats in Peng's house, otherwise he would definitely be fattened up.

"Knock knock."

After knocking on the door for the third time, Peng Yu finally freed up his mouth, which was busy eating melon seeds and laughing, and said "come in".

"Master," the butler raised his hand, looking at his fingers out of sight, "the Yichou caravan has arrived."

"Hahaha... what? Am I ugly? You are ugly!"

The butler's eyelids twitched: "Master, it's not 'You Chou', but the caravan of 'Yichou' has arrived."

The Peng family's caravans don't rest day and night, and it's only common at this point.The caravans are divided into two levels, A and B. The A-level caravans are arranged according to the heavenly stems and earthly branches. There are a total of sixty caravans, of which only six from "Jiazi" to "Jisi" go directly to Pengzhai, and the rest are scattered in various states, cities and even overseas.

Peng Yu finally raised his head from the book that made people laugh, and glanced at the housekeeper: "Oh... let them unload the goods."

After all, he continued to bury his head in reading.

He read the book seriously, but unfortunately what he was reading was a bit unsightly - this book has a name similar to "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "The Golden Plum", which makes people blush and bloody at any time. There are also beautifully illustrated illustrations on a horrific scale and brutally realistic.

The butler sighed, he couldn't compliment his young master's hobby.Peng's family has a library, which contains tens of thousands of volumes of books from all over the world. Unfortunately, the young master ignores them, and only loves "unrecognizable elegance". "Dong Xian" also looked at it, it can be said that anyone who comes will not be rejected.

Master Peng's sexual orientation is still a mystery.

Because of this ambiguous sexual orientation, among the people who try to step through the threshold of Peng's family every day, there are not only those who give away their daughters, but also those who give away their sons.

It's really going downhill.

The housekeeper shook his head, only to feel that Young Master Peng's whole person was written as "dandy", from the strands of his hair to the crevices of his toes, every pore of his body was filled with "gold and jade on the outside, but on the inside".This dandy has a very "good-looking" face - you won't get tired of looking at it twice, and it's not a pity to look at it twice, but one pair of eyes is amazingly bright, which seems to be the same as the special oil lamp made by Peng's family.

This dude is idle all day long, and has nothing but money and nothing but making money.So far, I can't recognize the three-character classics and the hundred surnames, let alone the four books and five classics.The only bit of ink in the stomach is not as concentrated as bile, one-third is enough to settle accounts, one-third can read pornographic books, and the remaining one-third is free to play, teasing cats and dogs everywhere. His father's mantle of "ignorance and incompetence" has been inherited in every way.

Although his father is also a dude, but after all he kidnapped a serious and beautiful mother.Xiao Wandan is incapable of doing this, and there is no sign of it so far. The housekeeper even suspects that he is going to tie the knot with Xiao Huangshu and spend the rest of his life together.

Thinking of this, the housekeeper couldn't help worrying, but thinking that the young master didn't like to hear it, he had to say "yes" with his hands and was about to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute," Peng Yu suddenly called out to him, shook the fruit plate containing melon seeds, and handed it over, "Old donkey, the melon seeds are gone, help me to fill some."

"……Yes."

The old donkey is not a donkey, nor does it belong to a donkey, nor does it have a donkey temper.His surname is actually Lu, but when "Lu" and "steward" are put together, it becomes a "donkey".Over time, Peng Yu simply called him Laolu in order to save trouble.

The donkey steward went to fill his young master with melon seeds without complaint, and did not forget to tell: "Young master, rest early, it's summer, eat less melon seeds, and be careful of getting angry."

"You are the only one who has too many things to do." Peng Yu scolded lightly, and stretched lazily.

Temporarily without melon seeds to relieve boredom, I always feel that something is missing in my mouth.He thought for a while and planned to drink from his saliva. After eating so many melon seeds, his mouth was indeed a little dry.But before this hand touched the teacup, the teacup and its holder suddenly shook, making a clear and crisp porcelain collision sound.

"Ok?"

He stopped in surprise and rubbed his eyes, thinking that his eyes were dazzled.After waiting for a long time, there was no further movement, so I went to reach it again as if nothing had happened, but at this moment, the strange movement came again.

This time not only the teacup, but everything on the table was shaking. The ledger, inkstone, and paperweight all began to shift slightly, the writing brush rolled back and forth, and the oil lamp, which was already crumbling, moved out of the table in an instant. When I didn't catch it, I fell to the ground with a "click", the lampshade was broken, the wick flashed violently, and then went out.

"...I rely on it!"

The moment the oil lamp was extinguished, the room immediately became dark, and Peng Yu's extremely bright eyes dimmed accordingly.Because he couldn't catch a glimmer of light in his eyes, he tensed up all over his body. Before he could get used to his blind eyesight, a gust of wind blew up on the ground, and directly blew open the half-closed door, and dried paper and thin things. All hula la flew into the sky.

The gust of wind blew up and then stopped, and the ledgers that flew into the sky were smashed down on his head and face, and several of them hit him directly on the head, but he froze in place as if he didn't notice it, and he was still clutching the only book that survived in his hand tightly between his fingers. , tore the thin paper.

"Master! Master!"

Housekeeper Lu went back and forth, ignoring the difference between master and servant, rushed into the room and grabbed Peng Yu's wrist: "Master, this way!"

Peng Yu was led away from the chair by him like a marionette, walked towards the door, and heard him say again: "Master, be careful of the threshold."

The two stood still under the corridor. The lantern in the corridor was swayed by the wind, but it was very tenacious and did not go out.The dark vision gradually became clearer. Peng Yu squinted his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "What happened just now? Was there an earthquake?"

"I don't know." The butler shook his head.

The servants of Peng's mansion were also disturbed by the movement, those who had slept put on their clothes and gathered in the courtyard one after another.Peng Yu rubbed his chin, and thought that there had been no earthquake records in Xianzhou for hundreds of years, so how could there be such a sudden earthquake?

There is a timid female family member in the mansion, and there is already a faint cry.He coughed lightly and raised his volume, and comforted him: "It's okay, don't panic! It might be..."

Before he finished speaking, the ground shook again uncoordinatedly. This time the vibration was stronger than before, and the house began to shake.Although Peng Yu boasted that Peng's house was the most solid mansion in Xianzhou, he still couldn't help feeling flustered. He leaned on a nearby pillar, feeling that something was going to happen in his heart for no reason.

Along with the vibration, the gust of wind that had just subsided swept back again, as if a huge air current hit the courtyard directly, blowing all the people hiding in the corridor backwards.Peng Yu hugged the pillar tightly, unable to open his eyes in the strong wind, his eyelids suddenly lit up, as if a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.

It's going to rain?

What kind of rain can have such a big battle?

He put one arm around the post, freed his hand to shield his eyes, and peered into the sky through his fingers.At some point in the originally clear night sky, a heavy dark cloud came over. Lightning and serpentine letters flickered between the clouds, stabbing the sky into flickering lights and darkening, and even his vision became unstable.

He let out a "hiss" a little irritably, his eyes narrowed into slits.With his unsteady eyesight, he caught a trace of strangeness in the sky, so he involuntarily took a second look.

It was a unique and strange lightning, as if completely unaware that its mission was "fleeting". Amidst the howling and roaring of many brothers, it actually "let the wind from east to west, north and south, I stand still."After a while, it fell unhurriedly and unhurriedly, like someone dropping a page of paper from a high place.

And the "lightning" became clearer as it fell, at first it was only hidden in the clouds, and when it left the clouds, it seemed to be enlarged and elongated, while rolling in a distorted posture, while approaching the ground.

Peng Yu really couldn't see what it was, it was really hard to see in the dark, and the whole sky flickered again, just trying to cause trouble for him.

When he could finally see clearly, the thing was already very close. It seemed that it was not a bare strip, but...had a head, claws, and a tail, like...

"I rely on... what is that? What is that!"

Peng Yu grabbed the butler's clothes and yelled at him against the strong wind.The butler was also panic-stricken, and after a while he said tremblingly: "Is it... a dragon, a dragon?"

Looking back again, the "dragon" was even closer, as if it jumped directly from the sky to the front, and it was still falling rapidly.Peng Yu's hair stood on end for a while, his pupils dilated, and he shouted at the panic-stricken people in the courtyard: "Back! Back!"

As soon as the words fell, a shrill sound of wind whizzed along with flying sand and rocks, the ground trembled to the limit, and the furniture in the room began to fall, but the sporadic sound was instantly drowned in the sound of the wind.With an attitude of not fearing death, the giant dragon smashed towards the ground like a mountain roar and a tsunami——

"Boom-"

The whole Peng Mansion and even the whole Xianzhou jumped violently because of this smash, Peng Yu felt his heart was thrown up and down together with the building, and his eardrum was smashed into a golden bell.The wind aroused by the moment the giant dragon landed directly lifted him away, and the whole person threw forward uncontrollably, lying directly in front of the threshold.

The eldest son of the Peng family, who is the most wealthy in the world, fell like a dog eating shit like this.

This smashing had a long aftertaste, and several people who were close were knocked unconscious, and Peng Yu was stunned to maintain a little consciousness.After a long while knelt down and rubbed his painful elbow, screams, horse neighing, and the sound of falling objects came one after another.

Peng Yu covered his ears, almost thinking that he was about to be deafened.He leaned against the wall and got up, and just turned his head, and sat back on the ground with a "huh".

The huge dragon's head was placed in front of him, almost as tall as a person, and the dragon's body was more than a dozen feet or a few dozen feet, but it couldn't be seen at a glance.Each of the dragon scales near the dragon's head is as big as a human's palm. Even if it is splashed with countless Saturn mud spots, it still cannot hide the unsightly whiteness of jade.

The whole Peng Mansion was in chaos. Although there was a record of a dragon appearing in Xianzhou a hundred years ago, none of the people present had ever seen a real dragon. They didn't know whether it was surprise or fright. They were crying and laughing, and their voices overshadowed the dragon. His breath went straight up to the sky.

Peng Yu looked at the dragon that was close at hand, and unexpectedly calmed down, and he had the illusion that he had seen it somewhere before.He patted his butt and stood up, shaking off the broken bricks and stones. He tried to get close to the half-dead dragon, and reached out his hand to touch the soft fur on the dragon's cheek.

At the same time, it was discovered that those hairs that should have been as white as scales had been dyed red by blood, forming strands and strands.The side of the dragon's neck seemed to be injured, and the blood was still pouring out continuously, and soon a pool of blood gathered on the ground.

The giant dragon seemed to feel someone's touch, and tried to open its tightly closed eyes, but in the end it could only tremble due to lack of strength.It let out a low moan, its whole body twitched, and the tip of its tail swept uncontrollably.

Because the body is too long, the huge courtyard of Peng Mansion has not yet filled it, the dragon's tail landed on the courtyard wall in the northwest corner, smashing a gap.Let it sweep it like this again, and the courtyard wall, which is as thick as a city wall, unexpectedly bangs——

collapsed.
