The word "arrogant" has never been a good word, but when it comes from Zhu Zan's mouth it sounds like a very honorable thing.

The young man sitting next to him also slammed the table.

"That's right, we're still sitting in the scattered seats," he said.

While they were talking, the person on the second floor had already vacated the room. I don't know what he said, but not only was he not angry, but he bowed and nodded respectfully to the three people just like a shop assistant.

"He looks like an important person." A young man raised his eyebrows and said.

"There is such a big shot in the capital and we don't even know him?" Zhang Baotang also said.

Si Feng looked at the shop assistants walking downstairs and simply raised his hands.

"Come on," he called.

The shop assistants naturally recognized these people and hurried forward without daring to neglect them.

"Fourth Master, what do you want me to do?" he asked with a smile.

"Who is that boy?" Sifeng asked, pointing to the second floor.

The shop assistant had a complicated expression.

"Yes, yes..." He hesitated and seemed afraid to say it.

Zhang Baotang lifted his foot and gave him a kick.

"If you have something to say, say it now." he scolded.

He couldn't afford to offend these people, the shop assistant said with a bitter face and covering his butt.

"It's Jiang Peng, the gatekeeper at the West City Gate," he said.

As soon as these words were spoken, the young people at the table burst into laughter.

"Doorman?"

"I'll go."

"When did the capital become like this?"

Everybody was laughing and cheering, and the shop assistant looked embarrassed and a little uneasy at being laughed at.

"Who does this kid rely on?" asked Zhu Zan, who had been silent.

The shop assistant looked even more strange and hesitated again.

"Don't dare to say?" Zhu Zan raised his eyebrows, "It seems that we are acquaintances?"

The young people present were startled, and the shop assistant's expression also changed slightly.

So that's how it is. The shop assistant was hesitant, not because he was afraid of the other party, but because he didn't want them to know who the other party was.

Why are the shop assistants afraid? They must be afraid that they will have a conflict after knowing it.

The young people became even more annoyed when they realized what was going on.

"Hurry up and tell me." Sifeng slammed the table.

"It's Lord Lu Qianhu." The shop assistant had no choice but to tell the truth.

The young people immediately raised their eyebrows.

"It was him," they said.

"That's not right. Lord Lu Qianhu is very picky. How can a small doorman get close to him?" Sifeng said.

"Fourth Master, you don't know." The shop assistant lowered his voice. "Of course he can't rely on Master Lu, but he is lucky."

He said this with a frown on his face.

"He just bought a concubine and Lord Lu took a fancy to her."

Si Feng was drinking wine, and upon hearing this, he spat on the ground.

"That's fucking disgusting, this is a joke," he said.

The other young people also looked surprised.

"It's absolutely true. That day, Lu Qianhu passed by the city gate and met the concubine who came to deliver food to the doorman. He fell in love with her. The doorman sent her away that night." The shop assistant said. Although he was very scared, this kind of thing was really something that people liked to talk about.

The young people looked at each other.

"Like married women?" Sifeng said.

"Not entirely. Wasn't there a tea-selling girl before?" said another young man.

The four phoenixes clicked their tongues twice.

"How extravagant and debauched." He sighed, "I never thought that a child like Lu Qianhu, who came from a poor family, would become as depraved as we are."

Is this a compliment or an insult? The shop assistant was stunned.

"This won't do." Zhu Zan stood up and said bitterly, "Such a good child, who works for His Majesty, how could his innocence be implicated by the people below."

clean?

Who is clear and who is innocent?

The shop assistant was even more confused, but when he saw several other young men standing up, rolling up their sleeves and clenching their fists, he knew what they were going to do.

I knew that if the Prince of Chengguo met Lu Qianhu, there would definitely be trouble.

Anyway, I can't afford to offend either of you, so the shop assistant shrank his head and hid away.

Soon there was a commotion in the tavern, and then many people ran out.

"There was a fight!"

People on the street rushed over immediately, and before they could get a clearer look, they saw three people being thrown out of the restaurant. All their clothes were stripped off, leaving only a pair of shorts to cover their modesty.

The onlookers immediately burst into noise and laughter.

"Isn't this Jiangmenli?"

Someone else recognized it and shouted.

As soon as these words came out, the man who was trying to protect himself quickly covered his face with his hands and ran away amidst the laughter.

The excitement quickly spread along the street, and by nightfall, it had reached an inner house.

The interior was decorated magnificently. There was a round table at the table, and two people were sitting opposite each other eating.

The young man in a casual green robe was Lu Yunqi, and the woman in her twenties dressed in bright clothes was naturally his new favorite.

Lu Yunqi's expression was not as dull as he appeared outside. Perhaps because of the light, his features seemed much softer. He reached out his hand and passed a piece of food with chopsticks to the woman sitting opposite him.

"Try this," he said.

The woman sitting opposite him looked very uneasy, seeming to be happy but also a little afraid.

"Yes, thank you, sir," she said.

"Call me Lu Yunqi." Lu Yunqi said, taking back his chopsticks.

There were probably not many people who dared to call Lu Qianhu's name to his face. The woman trembled slightly.

"Lu, Lu Yunqi." She shivered for a long time before she shouted out tremblingly.

Lu Yunqi looked at her and smiled.

"Ah," he replied.

The woman opened her mouth slightly and looked at the smiling man opposite her. The smile bloomed on her porcelain-white face, brightening up the whole room.

My God, who can see the smile of Lu Yunqi and Lu Qianhu, such a smile.

There was a soft knock on the door.

The woman saw the smile on Lu Yunqi's face fade away like the tide, and in an instant he returned to his previous wooden state. A cold gaze swept across her.

The woman's heartbeat stopped and she lowered her head, not daring to look him in the face.

I heard someone coming in.

"Sir, Jiang Peng is here." said the visitor.

When the woman heard the name Jiang Peng, her heart skipped a beat and she looked a little uneasy.

"What does he want?" Lu Yunqi asked, eating slowly.

"He didn't say anything, just wanted to see the adults," said the visitor.

Lu Yunqi picked up the handkerchief beside him, wiped the corners of his mouth, and threw it on the ground.

"I don't want to see him anymore," he said.

The person responded and left without saying anything else. The woman sat in front of the table, clenching her hands tightly, her eyes falling on the handkerchief on the ground.

What does it mean that you don't want to see him? Is it like throwing away this handkerchief?

"Why? You can't bear to leave?" Lu Yunqi's soft voice rang in his ears.

Such a pleasant voice frightened the woman so much that she stood up trembling.

"No, no. No, sir," she said repeatedly.

"Call me Lu Yunqi." Lu Yunqi looked at her and said.

The woman bit her lower lip.

"Lu. Yunqi." She said in a trembling voice.

A smile appeared on Lu Yunqi's face again.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay, just sit down," he said.

The woman sat down timidly and watched Lu Yunqi pick up the chopsticks.

"Lu. Yunqi." She shouted bravely.

Lu Yunqi raised his head and looked at her, his expression becoming even happier.

"Hmm? What's the matter? Tell me." he said.

Oh my god, who could have thought that King Lu Yan would speak to people like this, the woman said in her heart again, and now the person who enjoys this attitude is herself.

It's me.

I originally thought that I would be able to rise to prominence by working as a doorman, but I never expected that my luck would change and I would rise to the top overnight.

The woman took a few deep breaths.

"I, I don't have any other feelings towards Jiang Peng." She said boldly, "Don't be angry, I and him..."

Before she could finish, Lu Yunqi smiled.

"I know." He said, interrupting the woman and at the same time passing another piece of food to her with chopsticks. "Eat it quickly."

The woman was breathing rapidly and her eyes were bright, she felt so happy that she couldn't breathe.

"Yes, yes." She had no choice but to keep saying it while busy eating with her chopsticks.

Lu Yunqi looked at her with a smile, but under the light, that smile looked increasingly sad.

…

In the wine shop at the night market, Zhu Zan and others were sitting around drinking. Someone walked over quickly and whispered something to Zhang Baotang.

"Captain Lu threw Jiang Peng out of the capital." Zhang Baotang said.

The four phoenixes laughed.

"Good. Good." He looked at everyone. "It's great that Lord Lu can admit his mistakes and improve himself. He will be a good official in the future."

Everyone laughed.

Only Zhu Zan was touching his chin with an unhappy look on his face.

"Still unhappy," he said.

Everyone stopped laughing.

"How about we go and hit this guy with a club again?" Si Feng suddenly said.

This guy is naturally referring to Lu Qianhu.

The old man selling wine nearby tried his best to move away, as if hearing these words would get him into trouble.

It's a shame that they dared to think of defeating Lu Qianhu.

"It's not that we can't beat him, but this guy is as timid as a mouse. He either never goes out, or when he goes out, he's protected by a large group of people." Zhang Baotang said seriously, "It's hard to find a chance to do that."

The four phoenixes sighed.

"Yeah." He took a sip of wine, "I really miss those days. I would beat him up if I told him to."

Everyone started laughing, except Zhu Zan.

"Second brother, don't you miss me?" Sifeng asked.

Zhu Zan took the wine jug and took a sip, then looked at him and smiled.

"Yes," he said. "I really want to beat him up again, like I did before."

He finished the wine in one gulp and looked towards the river. The smile on his face faded and his expression flickered under the light of the river lights.

But so what, the past can never come back.
