As a result, Luo Lingwei had no choice but to wait for the maidservants to reveal their true intentions. The palanquin had automatically stopped at the entrance of the Swallow Tower. Ye Lianhe was not in a good mood because of the invitation to be a kidnapper, and he got off the palanquin gloomily.

The young maid didn't seem to care and continued to lead the way with a smile.

"Please take care, esteemed guests. The tower lord is waiting quietly in the inner room."

Life is like this, since you can't take the initiative to resist then you can only passively enjoy it. Luo Lingwei was indeed curious about the legendary "master". After all, this was a profession that only appeared in games in modern times.

Swallow Tower was a simple three-storey wooden building built near the water. It was surrounded by a green and gray fence. It didn't look like the mysterious residence of a teacher, but instead like a small embroidery building that belonged to a girl.

Two young and tender children were standing in front of the door. Each of them was holding a lotus flower lamp, similar to how the river flowed along with the water.

"Honored guest, please enter." The young maid knocked on the forehead of the child on the left. The child revealed a sweet smile as he inserted his finger into the flame on the lantern.

The door opened with a creak.

Only now did Luo Lingwei realize that the two children were puppets.

The young maid made a gesture of 'please'.

Ye Lianhe sighed, "The first teacher is indeed worthy of his reputation."

Since he had come, there was no reason why he should bow down to the enemy without a fight. Ye Lianhe grasped Luo Lingwei's hand and quickly entered the door.

The small courtyard was completely swept clean. Although there were flower trees all around, it was still barren and desolate at the end of spring. Under the tree were two rigid skeletons of indiscernible material, sitting cross-legged in front of a stone to play chess.

The courtyard walls were hung with all sorts of faces, men, women, old, beautiful, ugly, fat, and thin …

Luo Lingwei felt that a timid person would be scared to death if they were here at night.

"When does the glacier end? When the spring wind is low and the rain falls. When the moon blows in my house, where does the autumn sound come from? "

At the bottom of the courtyard wall sat a woman in red, holding a lute and gently twisting it in her arms. That girl was extremely beautiful. Her red clothes were like fire, and her skin was as white as snow. She gave off a prideful and cold aura. His voice was like beads or jade, captivating the soul.

After the young maid respectfully bowed, she winked at Luo Lingwei and retreated outside.

Luo Lingwei asked, "Pavilion Head Yan?"

The woman put down her lute, her pale grey eyes falling upon Luo Lingwei.

Nightingale raised her eyebrows. Was she blind?

He subconsciously looked around to make sure there were no other living people around before tightly holding Luo Lingwei's hand. At that time, after her master left, Xu An's story was a secret that was never passed down. Besides the Imperial Family, no one else knew.

"May I know why you have invited me and my wife here?"

"It's just that I've been asked to return an item." The woman stopped her lute and slowly walked over while holding her skirt.

Luo Lingwei felt that her movements were familiar, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure out who it was.

The woman lightly glanced at it for a moment before withdrawing her gaze. She then lowered her head to play with the lute: "You are Luo Binghe's daughter?"

Luo Lingwei frowned.

It was as if she was missing someone.

"Yes, you and my father are old friends?" Luo Lingwei did not understand. If such a beautiful woman had an old relationship with Luo Tianhe, it would be impossible for Aunt Su to endure until now.

The original owner's own mother had lived for so many years that even in the general's manor, she still could not be at peace, let alone a living person.

The woman neither admitted nor refused and asked, "Where is he now?"

Luo Lingwei calmly replied, "He's dead."

"Master Lin shook her head and sighed softly. Dead? Heh, you really resemble her. "

Luo Lingwei did not know who he was, but her intuition was not Luo Tianhe.

The woman seemed to have lost her desire to talk, as she took out a palm-sized arrow from her sleeve and handed it to Luo Lingwei, "This item is called Qiu Xi, and today's item is returned to its original owner. "Take good care of it. There will always be a day when it will be useful."

Autumn Festival? Luo Lingwei held it in her hands and looked at it carefully.

The arrowhead was unscathed. It looked like a brand-new object, rubbed day and night. The detailed carvings on it were a luster grass pattern that only Xuan Kingdom possessed, but they were actually carvings of a tiny Xu Anyu, Qiu Xi, with grass leaf patterns.

Even Nightingale couldn't figure out which country this item came from.

However, he was sure that this thing was small and was a hidden weapon used by women.

Luo Lingwei wanted to ask more questions, but the woman called for the puppet to send her off. "Let's go, it's time."

Ye Lianhe raised his head to look at the daylight before turning around and leading Luo Lingwei out.

Unknowingly, he had stayed in the Swallow Tower for two hours. The Golden Feast of the Night was about to begin.

At the time, the sedan chair had already been replaced by a servant of Yuzhou City Lord's Mansion. They were anxiously guarding the entrance of Yanzi Restaurant, wanting to enter, yet not daring to do so.

"Aiyo, the wangfei is finally out." Seeing that the two of them had safely returned, the attendant hurriedly came to welcome them.

Ye Lianhe replied with an "Oh" and asked knowingly, "Did the mayor not arrange for this king to come?"

"That woman has already spread her name. How would the Mayor dare to bring you here?" The attendant explained with a head full of cold sweat. "Who doesn't know of Yuzhou City? The entire Vermillion Bird Bridge is the territory of Swallow Tower."

Luo Lingwei was full of doubts. She secretly clenched her fists tightly as she departed for the Golden Night Banquet.

The Midnight Metallic Banquet was just as extravagant as the name itself, to the point that it was astonishing. The City Lord of Yuzhou expressed the wealth of the sixteen states of Shanyang City. All the banquet utensils were made using a unified set of gold grade equipment. Even the water flowing in the garden was fragrant tea covered with golden leaves. Wherever the tea flowed, the golden color carried a burst of tea fragrance. It was magnificent and dazzling.

Luo Lingwei followed Ye Lianhe into the stadium. She felt that she was not as good as Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden. Her hat was full of money, but the gold was so beautiful!

Ye Lianhe waved his hand, calling over the steward who had come to receive the guest. "Where is the City Lord?"

The arrival of the guests was almost the same, why was the master only arranging for a few stewards to entertain the guests instead of putting on airs?

The supervisor quickly came over and bowed, "The mayor is arranging for the following banquet to be a small affair and can't receive you personally. I hope you will forgive me, your highness."

The steward had long since received orders from his master to take care of these two great buddhas. Thus, he personally followed closely behind, carrying a cup of tea.

"Prince, please have some tea." The steward had only come this year to take over the golden night banquet and had seen the garden filled with gold cups, jade cups, and emeralds. He was scared to the point that his legs and stomach were twitching in fear of any mistakes.

Even an unremarkable piece of brick was more expensive than his during the Midnight Metallic Banquet.

Ye Lianhe had never put himself in a position to make things difficult for the servants, so he just waved his hand and let him off.

"Do you like it?" Ye Lianhe sent off the steward with his eyes as he inadvertently asked Luo Lingwei, "It's much more luxurious than a palace banquet."

Luo Lingwei shook her head. Gold is good, but you have to have a bottom line. Since the founder of Yuzhou City, the Mountain Bandits, started their fortune, but his wealth came from nowhere. The City Lord of Yuzhou was even more serious. Ye Feian had an order from the previous emperor that the sixteen prefectures of Shanyang could decide on their own taxes.

In the Tianxuan Kingdom, Yuzhou City had the highest tax rate.

The stench of wine and meat filled the air. The streets were frozen to the point of death. I'm afraid none of the objects here are not the cream of the people.
