Gu Beiheng and Su Qi reserved a favorable position on the second floor of Wangjiang Building, from which they could see the entire venue clearly and avoid accidental trampling.
Su Qi, who had a bit of claustrophobia, felt a little scared when she saw so many people downstairs.
Worrying about a stampede is no joke.
There is an open space under the Wangjiang Tower, which is connected to the other side of the river by a bridge.
It is said that the leader of Tianlijiao will appear here.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng's table was on the second floor, near the very edge. The waiter brought a pot of queshe tea and a few snacks. An exquisite lantern was placed on the table.
There are also several lanterns hanging on the banyan tree next to it.
There were flower boats floating on the lake, and from them came the laughter of the boat prostitutes and the sounds of drinking.
Su Qi held the teacup in her hand and said, "Even in times of war, the rich live much more comfortably than ordinary people."
Gu Beiheng looked at Su Qi's aggrieved expression and chuckled, "Qiqi, you are also a rich person."
Su Qi chuckled. "My life is much more comfortable than that of ordinary people."
After a while.
Several flower boats came across the lake.
Several flower boats gathered together in a square shape, and another flower boat came over.
"When the great calamity comes again, the heaven and earth will be dark, and the sun and moon will lose their light. When the teachings of Heaven arise, the world will be blessed."
First, uniform slogans rang out from the flower boat.
There were people scattered all over the shore.
The people who had dispersed quickly started shouting.
On the first floor of Wangjiang Tower, two or three people started shouting first and encouraged the people nearby to kneel down and worship.
Many people on the second floor also knelt down.
Only Su Qi's table remained seated.
The people at the next table were unhappy. "How can you still sit here?"
Su Qi raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why can't you sit down?"
"You have to kneel down and kowtow. Didn't you see the leader coming?" The person who spoke looked unfamiliar but wealthy. The jade ring and big gold ring in his hand were very shiny.
Not to mention that he looks like a wealthy child.
"You're such a coward, just kneel down. Stop talking so much nonsense and sew your mouth shut." Gu Beiheng turned around and glared at him coldly.
Fuguier stretched out his chubby fingers and then retracted them.
This man is a bit fierce.
He will complain to the leader later and see how they can still act arrogantly.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng's table caused dissatisfaction among many people on the second floor. However, everyone was cursing in their hearts, and only Fu Guier spoke out, but was rebuked.
A lot of flower petals were scattered on the river.
Su Qi calculated that it would cost a lot of money. Cleaning it up would also take a lot of effort.
On the flower boat in the middle, there is a woman in a red dress standing at the bow, wearing a mask with an opium pattern.
In an instant, everyone shouted excitedly.
"Master, Master. Look here."
"Oh my god, the leader is looking at me. I would be happy even if my wife died immediately."
"Master, here."
…
Fuguier climbed up and rushed to the railing next to him, waving his strong arms at the flower boat. "Master, look here." Fuguier shouted while asking his followers to bring the bundle over.
He untied the bundle and began to throw out the jewelry inside.
Su Qi happened to be sitting next to them, her eyes wide open.
He quietly hooked his fingers together and kept many of the jewelry that Fuguier had picked up and thrown away.
Bai Zhi watched the others' movements and rushed over, using one hand to block the distance between them and Su Qi. Her other hand was also busy, and her sleeves were soon heavy.
Gu Beiheng couldn't bear to watch it any longer.
But he didn't say anything and just kept staring at the people on the flower boat.
Su Qi kept his eyes on the woman in red on the boat, and the doubts in his heart grew.
Why does this leader feel so familiar to her?
"Beiheng, do you think this leader looks familiar?"
Gu Beiheng's eyebrows twitched as he took another careful look. "You haven't seen it before."
Bai Zhi also said: "Her figure is quite similar to that of Concubine Hong and her friends from the past."
Speaking of this, Su Qi thought of Hong Liuer who jumped into the river.
It turned out that the sense of familiarity she felt came from here.
Maybe Hongliuer’s relatives are not dead?
The flower boat docked.
Sixteen maids led the way, followed by eight boys and girls. Finally, the leader, dressed in red, came ashore, accompanied by four apostles.
"Everyone, be quiet," one of the apostles said. "Your sincerity has moved our leader, and today, he has emerged from seclusion to be with you. He senses your passion and the purest wishes in your hearts."
"What do you want?"
"Give me the elixir." someone shouted.
"Give me the elixir."
Fuguier, who was standing beside him, was so excited that he jumped and cried, "Master, please give me the elixir. I will give you all my wealth and beg you to let me follow you."
A complete fanatic.
The leader seemed to be startled by the movement on the Wangjiang Tower and raised his eyes to take a look.
Their eyes happened to meet Su Qi's in the air, and the leader immediately looked away.
There was a smile in those eyes that saw through everything.
When Su Qi saw the other party look away, he became even more suspicious.
Although both of them wore masks, their eyes were always different.
"Everyone be quiet. Now our leader will give you the water of life."
The leader's hand began to point, pointing in every direction. When it came to the second floor of Wangjiang Tower, she raised her hand and paused before pointing at Fuguier, who was next to Su Qi.
His eyes perfectly avoided Su Qi.
Gu Beiheng also noticed something.
Those who received the magic water were very happy, and there were special people who came up to give the magic water to them. No one dared to snatch it away.
Fuguier took the magic water and happily stuffed all the silver bills in his arms to the man who gave him the magic water.
The man took the magic water expressionlessly, enjoying the people around him kneeling down and the plate in his hand filled with gold, silver, jewelry and banknotes.
He looked at Gu Beiheng and the other two with a bit of surprise.
Only the three of them did not kneel down.
Fuguier saw the man staring at Su Qi and the others and quickly reported them. "Your Excellency, these three people are really disrespectful to the Master."
"What are you doing here, sir?" the man asked Gu Beiheng expressionlessly.
Gu Beiheng raised his eyelids slightly, "Look at the lanterns. Is that not allowed?"
Fuguier yelled, "You chose the best seat just to see the lanterns? I don't believe your nonsense."
"What's the point of not looking at the lanterns during the Lantern Festival?" Su Qi took a sip of tea, with a cold look on her lips.
Fuguier and the people around him were angry.
"Of course it's to see the Master."
"I've seen it, it's nothing special." Su Qi's eyes fell on the leader, and she continued to give everyone the fairy water.
Even Hong Liu'er is hostile.
Su Qi put the cup in her hand on the table.
"You actually said that the leader is nothing special." Fuguier was eager to show off and pointed at Su Qi.
Bai Zhi stepped forward, pinched his fingers, and broke them. "Do you think you can point fingers at our wife?" Bai Zhi kicked Fu Gui'er directly to the messenger's side.
The messenger stepped aside and used the plate in his hand to help Fuguier up.
However, his men were filled with murderous intent, and they rushed towards Bai Zhi with fierce murderous moves.
Gu Beiheng and Su Qi sat there without moving, allowing Bai Zhi to fight him back and forth for several rounds.
The commotion above startled many people, even those around the leader looked over. Several dark figures took the opportunity to enter the flower boat where the leader was.
Gu Beiheng saw the last figure falling down from the corner of his eye.
The teacup in his hand, filled with murderous intent, attacked the messenger's face.
"Someone is causing trouble. It seems that the people of Yun County don't like the Tianli Sect." The apostle next to the leader shouted.
"Kill them, kill them."
