"Brothers, let's go into the city to rest for the night. Tomorrow morning, we will leave the city and head to Suzhou Prefecture. I wonder if His Royal Highness Prince Jing will also be in Suzhou Prefecture."
"We'll find out tomorrow if we ask around. With an army of two hundred thousand soldiers, it's impossible that no news can get out."
Lu Zifeng agreed with Lu Zikai's words. As the saying goes, "Even a passing goose leaves its voice behind!"
Three days later, the five people arrived at Suzhou Prefecture. After asking around, they found out that the imperial army had not arrived yet. Lu Zifeng and others had no choice but to stay in Lanling County of Suzhou Prefecture, waiting for the arrival of the imperial army.
There is no way. The capital of Suzhou Prefecture fell last year and is still in the hands of the Tatars. Lanling County is already the front line. I think the imperial army will also arrive in Lanling County to station there.
The five of them directly rented a small courtyard in Lanling County, and then found a cook and a maid through a human trafficker to cook and wash clothes for the five brothers.
After settling down, Lu Zifeng and his companions began to wander around the streets. The five of them were all young men, and when they walked out together, they attracted the attention of many young wives and girls. Lu Zifeng was thick-skinned, so it was okay. However, Lu Zizhen felt a little embarrassed, his face flushed, and he was also laughed at by several brothers.
Coming to a restaurant and looking at the plaque of Qingfenglou on it, Lu Zifeng just wanted to say that this world is really small.
"Let's go, I'll treat you today." He said and walked in.
The next four people followed him into the restaurant. The restaurant was doing very well. The lobby was basically full, with only one table empty.
"Dear guests, you are here. Would you like to go to the lobby or the private room upstairs?" The child noticed Lu Zifeng and others coming in with sharp eyes and hurried to greet them.
Lu Zifeng took out the jade pendant and handed it to the waiter.
"Let's go to the private room upstairs!"
The waiter took a look and thought, okay, this is the master's jade pendant. Although the young men in front of him are not the master, the person who can hold the master's jade pendant must be no simple person, although the materials of these people's clothes do not look very good.
"Dear guests, please follow me."
The five of them followed the waiter to an extremely elegant room on the second floor.
After ordering a few signature dishes, they started eating and drinking. They didn't have the conditions for this at home, and their elders were very strict with them, so today they let loose, playing rock-paper-scissors, drinking games, and having a lot of fun.
A few people were drinking happily when the door of the private room was kicked open with a bang. A young man walked in with four or five followers and shouted.
"All of you, get out of here quickly. This private room has been reserved by my young master."
Lu Zifeng frowned and looked over. Who was so arrogant that he treated this place as his home?
Lu Ziqing and his friends had drunk quite a bit of wine, and were quite tipsy at the moment. Seeing someone being so arrogant, they immediately became unhappy and said directly.
"Get lost! Can't you see we're drinking? How dare you disturb my mood? I think you're asking for a fight."
"That's right, what's so great about you? If you act any more arrogant, I'll break your legs."
Lu Zizhen, who was standing by, was also in the mood for drinking. After drinking a glass of wine, he took over the conversation.
Lu Zifeng also couldn't stand the young man's attitude of being the boss and me being the second in command. He didn't say anything at this time, but just sat aside drinking and eating, ignoring him.
The young man looked at the people in front of him who were not dressed well, and was even more certain that they were just ordinary people. He stopped talking nonsense and simply waved his hand, meaning that everyone should go up.
The four thugs around him rushed directly towards Lu Zifeng and others.
Lu Ziqing waved his hand, signaling his brothers not to be anxious. He would practice first, and then he went forward alone, knocking all these people down with three punches and two kicks. Because he was concerned that this was Lu Zifeng's friend's restaurant and it was not good to cause trouble here, he held back and just knocked these people down without using any heavy hands.
The young man was a little confused when he saw this situation. He knew that his men were quite skilled in martial arts, but what did he just see?
How could the young man easily defeat his guards? Could it be that his guards had been deceiving him all along? Why were they so vulnerable?
He walked forward and kicked one of the people lying there, then looked at Lu Zifeng.
"Your martial arts skills are very powerful, right?"
Lu Zifeng and the others ignored him and just focused on eating and drinking. The young man walked up to Lu Ziqing.
"Can you teach me martial arts?"
Lu Zifeng and his brothers exchanged glances. What the hell does this mean? Shouldn't this young man continue to look for someone to redeem himself? Why has he changed so suddenly?
Lu Zifeng seemed to have guessed what the boy meant, but he didn't intend to interfere and let Lu Ziqing worry about it! It was his own fault for showing off.
When the last five people left the restaurant, they were followed by a follower.
After a while, they also learned that this young man was the son of the magistrate of Lanling County, Suzhou Prefecture. His name was Hao Qihui. He was fifteen years old this year. He had always wanted to find a good master to learn martial arts, but he had not found one for many years. So he thought of a way to let these guards fight outside. Regardless of whether it would succeed or not, it was at least a method.
These words left the five Lu brothers speechless, but seeing that the young man was not a playboy, they did not reject him, but they did not agree to him either. That's why the young man followed the five brothers, followed by several guards who supported each other as they walked.
After the brothers arrived home, Hao Qihui still didn't want to leave. He wanted to worship Lu Ziqing as his master and learn martial arts. This gave Lu Ziqing a headache. He said several times that he would not accept disciples, but Hao Qihui just refused to leave.
In desperation, Lu Ziqing said that he would wait for a while and that he needed to write a letter home to get his family's consent before he could teach him martial arts.
From then on, Hao Qihui would come every day and bring a lot of good things, such as food, drinks, and clothes. Anyway, this kid saw them and thought that the masters could use them, so he sent them all over.
Lanling County Magistrate Hao has been very depressed these past two days. His son said that he met a few young men outside who were very skilled in martial arts and wanted to become their disciples. So he has been collecting good things to give to them as gifts these past few days.
But it seemed that his house was about to be emptied by this brat. He sent people to check on those young men and found that they all came from Luzhou Prefecture to prepare to join the army. Now they stayed here again just to wait for the arrival of the imperial army. They would definitely not stay here for too long.
So the son's wish to learn martial arts was probably impossible, so someone secretly sent someone to return the gift that the son had given.
