What a lucky world!

Chapter 131: There are so many romantic scenes in front of Yaoyue Tower, no wonder Zhuge Liang is not in this painting!

People were coming and going on the street, and Zhang Mu was just taking a quick look.

These flowers are not those flowers, but competition arenas.

Because the sword-sharpening meeting at Fenglin Villa is about to begin, there are the most people from all walks of life in Lanling City at this time.

As more people joined the underworld, disputes naturally arose. The government was too lazy to intervene in these matters and simply set up several official arenas. No matter what grudges you had, you signed a life-or-death agreement and came on stage to resolve them.

There are 1V1, 2V2, round-robin and support modes. If this scene happened on Blue Star, it would directly crush WWE.

With a fighting arena, there's no shortage of people setting up dealers and placing bets around. It's not uncommon for gamblers to believe the action is scripted and even take part in it themselves.

Anyway, it was a lively

Of course, not all arenas are for resolving disputes. There is another type of arena, which is a branch of the Knife Sharpening Conference and is called the Knife Sharpening Arena.

Just as Zhang Mu had seen in the Tianji Scroll before, there were conditions for participation in the Fenglin Villa's knife sharpening competition. So what should those Ye family members who did not meet the conditions do?

The answer is these knife-sharpening arenas.

They can invite their opponents to sharpen their swords with them. As for the remuneration, they will pay for part of it and Fenglin Villa will also pay for part of it. In this way, the level of the sword-sharpening competition will not be lowered, and the regret of not being able to participate in the sword-sharpening competition can be made up.

Zhang Mu was watching these arenas.

He thought that since Ye Hanzhou did not qualify to participate in the Fenglin Villa Knife Sharpening Competition last time, he would definitely set up a knife sharpening arena here to hone his knife skills.

If you want to recruit him, you must first establish a relationship with him.

He couldn't just rush up to Ye Hanzhou and say, "I know your story," right?
After searching for half a day, they still couldn't find Ye Hanzhou.

As night was falling, Zhang Mu casually ordered a bowl of noodles from a roadside noodle stall to fill his stomach. After taking two bites, he was attracted by the discussions at the next table.

"That Ye Hanzhou is truly miserable... His father has used his monthly allowance to indulge in extravagant drinking again. I just came over from Yaoyue Tower and saw them arguing there..."

"Alas, after all, they are the eldest son of Fenglin Villa. This really brings shame to Fenglin Villa..."

"That's not the case. Ye Hanzhou's father has at least brought honor to Fenglin Villa. Ye Hanzhou is nothing. Giving him a monthly allowance is no different from throwing it into the water. His father uses it to drink wine, so it has some value."

"Oh, by the way, I heard that the ancestor will come out of seclusion during this knife-sharpening meeting, and will abolish the eldest branch of the family and demote them to a branch..."

"Humph, what's so strange about this? If it weren't for our ancestor's long-term seclusion, no one else would have made this decision. Our family would have been unable to live in Fenglin Villa long ago."

"What a pity! Back then, his father and the one from Tiannan City were known as the Twin Dragons. I didn't expect..."

"This man, who could have foreseen the sudden change of fortune and misfortune? Just like no one could have imagined that Ye Hanzhou's father was so gifted, yet he would be so mediocre!"

"No more talking, no more talking. After this sword-sharpening meeting, I'm afraid things will change at Fenglin Villa. Let's discuss how to deal with it..."

Listening to the discussions of the people at the table, Zhang Mu put down the bowl of noodles he had just taken two bites of, paid the bill, called the boss, inquired about the location of Yaoyue Tower, and then got up and left.

……

Yaoyue Tower, a five-story building, is the most famous brothel in Lanling County.

Ordinary singers and dancers are not enough. As long as you pay enough money, you can even have women above the seventh level of Tongmai Realm or even Yangye Realm to serve you.

Of course, if you want to be their lover, gold and silver are not enough. What you need to spend is luck money!
Luck money is a rare commodity for any force. Therefore, even though Ye Suifeng is the eldest son of Fenglin Villa, he does not hold the family power after all. Therefore, if he wants to live a carefree life, he will inevitably be short of money. Naturally, he set his sights on Ye Hanzhou's monthly allowance.

With a loud "bang", Ye Hanzhou was beaten out of the brothel by two thugs from Yaoyue Tower.

These two thugs were not mediocre either. They both had the strength of Tongmai Level 10 or above. They did not hold back when attacking Ye Hanzhou, and each punch hit him hard, attracting many onlookers.

The next moment, a figure suddenly rushed in. The figure was as fast as the wind, and with just three or two moves, he knocked the thugs from Yaoyue Tower away.

Only then did the onlookers see clearly that the person who made the move was just a handsome young man who looked to be about twenty years old, with an imposing bearing.

"Hey, whose young master is this? How dare he interfere in what's happening in front of Yaoyue Tower?" A delicate voice rang out, and an old procuress in a red dress came out in small steps. When she saw Zhang Mu, she paused for a moment and asked with a fake smile, "My dear, are you acquainted with Young Master Ye?"

"Don't get me wrong, we are just following Master Ye's orders to discipline Master Ye. It won't be a problem."

As she spoke, the madam pointed upstairs.

Zhang Mu looked up in the direction the madam pointed, and saw that the window of the room on the top floor of Yaoyue Tower was open. A middle-aged man with an elegant face was sitting there, holding a middle-aged woman in his arms, and was also looking at him.

When their eyes met, Zhang Mu felt a hint of coldness in that gaze, but this feeling quickly disappeared.

"Sir, are you an acquaintance of my son?" The middle-aged man didn't stand up, but simply said, "My son is unfilial and disobeys his father. I want to discipline him. This is a family matter, so it's none of your business, right?"

Zhang Mu withdrew his gaze and looked back at Ye Hanzhou, who was lying on the ground. He was covered in injuries and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay!" Ye Hanzhou got up from the ground and bowed to Zhang Mu, "Thank you!"

After saying that, he looked up at Ye Suifeng on the fifth floor again.

The father and son stared at each other for a moment. Then, Ye Suifeng said, "Hongluan, don't let this rebellious son disturb my pleasure again!"

After saying that, the window of the box upstairs slammed shut. Ye Hanzhou was about to rush in when he saw several thugs coming out of the building and blocking the door, preventing Ye Hanzhou from entering.

"Master Ye, please don't embarrass us..." The old procuress in red stepped forward and said with a smile, "But if you want to have some fun, I can arrange it."

Ye Hanzhou glanced at the madam and turned away.

Seeing this, Zhang Mu hurriedly followed.

……

After walking a hundred feet, Ye Hanzhou stopped and looked back at Zhang Mu, who had been following him. He bowed and said, "Thank you for your help just now. But why are you following me?"

Zhang Mu smiled awkwardly, looked at the scars on Ye Hanzhou's body, and said, "Do you want to treat your injuries?"

Ye Hanzhou looked down at himself and shook his head. "They just wanted to embarrass me. They didn't dare to do anything to me, so these are just superficial injuries. I can just apply some medicinal wine when I get home."

Zhang Mu hesitated for a moment, then continued, "I'm new here, and I'm impressed by you. I'd like to make friends."

Ye Hanzhou heard this and laughed at himself: "Being beaten for your good looks?"

Ye Hanzhou then looked at Zhang Mu with a hint of caution and said, "I am only the despised eldest son of Fenglin Villa. You should have seen my plight. If you are targeting me because of my status, please give up this idea."

"I... am worthless!"

After saying that, without waiting for Zhang Mu to speak again, he clasped his fists, turned around and left.

Seeing this, Zhang Mu was filled with anxiety and shouted, "Do you want to become stronger?"

This sentence made Ye Hanzhou stop again. He turned around and looked at Zhang Mu: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Mu laughed and said, "I heard that your swordsmanship at Fenglin Villa is very particular about sharpening the blade!"

"How about I be your whetstone?"

Ye Hanzhou then carefully looked at Zhang Mu and said, "Although I don't know your background, but from what Yaoyuelou did just now, I can tell that you are far superior to me!"

"What do you want from helping me like this?"

"Do you really have to do something?" Zhang Mu said with a smile.

Ye Hanzhou nodded: "If someone shows kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief."

Zhang Mu sighed softly upon hearing this. "I have a secret family technique that allows me to discern destiny. I see that you are just a dragon swimming in the shallows, but one day you will soar into the sky."

"We establish a bond today, and we will repay you in the future."

"So, do you believe it?"

Ye Hanzhou thought for a moment and nodded: "I believe it."

Zhang Mu: Hmm?

So simple?
Ye Hanzhou's expression remained unchanged as he said frankly, "Think about it, what else can I have that is worthy of your attention? Since you say so, then I naturally believe it."

"Since my future still holds value in your eyes, I will not be polite today."

After saying this, Ye Hanzhou clasped his fists again: "Ye Hanzhou! This is the Hanzhou of the Lone Boat on the Cold River!"

Zhang Mu also returned the greeting, saying, "Zhang Mu! The Mu of all directions."

The setting sun stretched the figures of the two young men to great lengths. The evening breeze blew, stirring up a few fallen petals by the roadside. A few passersby walked past them, looking back and smiling.

Time seemed to slow down.

We first met at the Yaoyue Tower, and since then we have been bound together for life and death.

Young people are most affectionate, and overlords worship heroes on the streets.

Unofficial historical records:

This ordinary scene was seen by an old painter who was drinking tea on the roadside. He went back and casually painted it, with a note: I saw two young men walking out of the Yaoyue Tower, getting to know each other and greeting each other, and my heart was moved, so I painted it.

Several years later, this painting was accidentally seen by a great historian, who spent all his wealth to buy it. He listed it as the opening chapter of the history of the new dynasty and exclaimed, "I am fortunate to have seen it in person."

However, after the Empress Dowager learned about this painting, she mentioned it in two sentences, which made the painting even more ambiguous.

"There are so many romantic people in front of Yaoyue Tower, no wonder Zhuge Liang is not in this painting!"
