Chapter 94 Luoyang Palace
Luoyang City is located in the heart of the Central Plains and was the prosperous place of the Song Dynasty in the past.

Since the failure of the "Duanping Invasion of Luoyang", the city of Luoyang has been firmly controlled by the Mongols.

From the Song Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, and then to Mongolia, the repeated changes of those in power had plunged the city of Luoyang into great chaos. In the first few years, the people of Luoyang were in a state of panic and had no peace. All industries in Luoyang declined, and its prosperity faded.

As time passed, twenty years had passed since the war. For ordinary people, twenty years was not just a passing of time, but also a whole generation. In these twenty years, Luoyang City gradually recovered from the pain of war. Although it was no longer as prosperous as before, it was still a peaceful and happy place.

The stability and prosperity of Luoyang City today cannot be attributed to the administration of the Mongolian court, but should be attributed to the largest underworld force here, the Xianwang Mansion.

From top to bottom, shocking the white and deterring the evil, respecting literature and advocating martial arts, and doing business and farming, the Xianwang Palace is the epitome of the Luoyang area.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Xianwang Mansion that local government officials dare not do whatever they want, and the green forest bandits dare not burn, kill and loot. All walks of life abide by the various rules set by the Xianwang Mansion, and they can live in peace with each other.

Not only did the people of Luoyang have a lot of money, but every household was prosperous and everyone could sleep well.

Because of the all-powerful means of the Xianwang Palace and its determination to abide by the rules, no one dares to act recklessly here, gradually achieving the prosperity of Luoyang today.

Luo Tianjin's title of "Northern Sage King" is well-deserved. Not only does he have an extraordinary status in the martial arts world, he is also deeply supported by the people. Over time, he has become the real number one in Luoyang City.

In Luoyang City, some people may not know which direction the government office door opens, but everyone knows where the Xianwang Mansion is. Therefore, after Liu Xunyi entered Luoyang, he asked around and easily found the Xianwang Mansion, the largest mansion in Luoyang, located in the south of the city.

Luoyang was once the capital of thirteen dynasties with a rich heritage. Facing south is a supreme position, but Luo Tianjin chose to build the Prince Xian’s Palace in the south of the city, facing north.

First, it was to echo the Ziwei Palace in the north of the city. Second, it was a self-modest move, implying that the status of the Xianwang Mansion would never be comparable to that of the former imperial palace.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Luo Tianjin's move was intended to give an explanation to the Mongolian court, implying that the Xianwang Mansion was just a gang force and its power would never be higher than that of the orthodox court.

It was precisely because Luo Tianjin was always cautious that he was able to live in Luoyang for twenty years without attracting an attack from the Mongolian army.

The Xianwang Mansion is magnificent. There are 13 white marble steps outside the Guangliang Gate. In front of the steps is a square paved with blue bricks. In the square stands a magnificent glazed archway with three rooms, four pillars and seven floors. In the middle of the archway is a deep blue stone plaque with four large gold-plated characters "Purple Air Coming from the East" carved on it.

These four words were written by Taoist Master Qingfeng, the "Head of Wudang", and were given to Luo Tianjin as a wedding gift twenty years ago.

As for why Taoist Qingfeng wrote an inscription for a younger generation 20 years ago? The reason is well known. Luo Tianjin's wife Ling Xiaoxiao is the only daughter of Taoist Qingfeng.

Luo Tianjin was able to rise rapidly in the martial arts world and was deeply supported by the six major sects, not only because of his own extraordinary means, but also because of Ling Xiaoxiao. In other words, it was because of the full support of the head of Wudang.

Two stone sculptures of dragons and tigers over three meters tall are located on both sides of the gate. In the middle of the gate tower hangs a huge plaque with three ancient characters "Xianwangfu" inscribed on it.

On the thirteen jade steps, there was a burly man standing on every other step. There were seven guards on each side, and four guards inside and outside the palace gate. There were twenty-two guards guarding the gate of the Xianwang Palace alone day and night. This kind of posture was no less than that of the two palaces in the east and west. It was really domineering. This magnificent palace alone was enough to scare ordinary people away.

When Liu Xunyi arrived in front of the Xianwang Mansion, he was stunned and speechless. He thought that the momentum of the Jiangnan Lu Mansion was already terrifying enough, but he didn't expect that compared with the Xianwang Mansion, it was still a small witch compared to a big witch.

It was noon and the sun was shining brightly, making the Prince Xian’s Palace look even more magnificent.

"Good brother!"

Before Liu Xunyi could get close, Lin Fangda's excited voice suddenly rang out in the mansion. Lin Fangda, with a face full of joy, rushed out of the door accompanied by four disciples, trotting all the way towards Liu Xunyi.

Lin Fangda jumped down from the jade steps. Before Liu Xunyi could greet him, he suddenly opened his arms and gave Liu Xunyi a big bear hug without saying anything. He laughed and said, "My dear brother, you are finally here!"

"Big brother!"

Since Liu Xunyi and Lin Fangda became sworn brothers, Lin Fangda has always been sincere to him, but Liu Xunyi still has a gap in his heart, after all, he originally wanted to use Lin Fangda. Therefore, the more sincere Lin Fangda is to him, the more guilty Liu Xunyi feels, and the more moved he is.

Feeling Lin Fangda's pair of arms as strong as steel clamps holding him tightly, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but feel sad and said with a smile: "I am incompetent and made you worry!"

"Come on! Let me take a good look!" Lin Fang pushed Liu Xunyi away, staring at him with excited tiger eyes, looking at Liu Xunyi up and down, front and back, carefully checking him. Seeing that Liu Xunyi was fine, he grinned and laughed: "Okay, okay, I'm relieved that you are safe and sound! I have been worried all day for the past two months, and I shouldn't have let you track down the whereabouts of the man in black by yourself. If something really happens to you, how can I be worthy of our brotherhood?" Lin Fang's words were sincere, and Liu Xunyi was moved to tears. He put his arm around Lin Fang's shoulders and smiled: "Isn't this little brother coming back unscathed? This is a test from Lord Luo. If I ask you to help me with this matter, how can I gain Lord Luo's trust?"

"From now on, you and I brothers will work together to serve the head of the mansion and we will never be separated again." Lin Fangda nodded and smiled heartily.

"Brother, how did you know I would be here today?" Liu Xunyi changed the subject and asked curiously, "Could it be just a coincidence?"

"How can there be such a coincidence?" Lin Fangda said with a wry smile, "The Lord of the Palace has issued a strict order that unless you come to the Xianwang Palace yourself, none of us can go out to look for you. I was really worried, so I come here for a few hours every day, hoping that you can come earlier." As he spoke, Lin Fangda seemed to suddenly remember something, raised his eyebrows, quickly moved forward, and whispered, "Brother, have you found the things that the Lord of the Palace wanted?"

"If I didn't find it, how could I dare to come and ask for trouble?" Liu Xunyi replied, "Don't worry, big brother, the Jingfenghuayu Tu is with me right now."

"That's great!" Lin Fang was delighted, and hurriedly grabbed Liu Xunyi's arm, smiling affectionately, "The Palace Master is out today, and he will probably be back very late. I'll take you in to rest first, and then we'll go to see the Palace Master in the evening."

Outside the gate, four disciples were waiting there in an orderly manner. Lin Fang called them over and said to Liu Xunyi, "My dear brother, these four are brothers I personally trained. Ning Yu named them "Fu Shou Kang Ning". Now they are all my disciples of Xiu Sect."

There are eight gates in the Xianwang Palace, namely Life, Death, Shock, Rest, Stop, View, Open and Injury. Lin Fangda is the master of the Rest Gate.

"Remember, the four of you, this is my sworn brother Liu Xunyi, whom I often mentioned to you before. From now on, when you see him, you must address him as 'Brother Liu'," Lin Fang instructed in a serious tone, "Go back and tell the other brothers that when you see him in the future, you should treat him like you see me. Disrespecting him means disrespecting me!"

"We will follow the Sect Master's orders." Fu Shou Kang Ning agreed in unison, and then turned to bow to Liu Xunyi and said, "Greetings, Brother Liu!"

"I don't deserve it. My name is Liu Xunyi. I hope you brothers will take care of me in the future." Liu Xunyi found it funny when he first heard the names of these four people, but since he was a newcomer, he could only suppress his smile and humbly returned the greetings one by one.

"I have prepared wine and food. Go take a shower and change your clothes first. I will welcome you well later!"

Lin Fangda was in a very good mood and could not hide his excitement in his words. While speaking, he had already grabbed Liu Xunyi and walked towards the mansion impatiently.

"Liu Xunyi!"

However, just as they were about to enter the mansion, a low and indifferent voice suddenly came from under the archway. Liu Xunyi frowned and turned around to look back, only to see a burly figure standing under the archway, wearing a bamboo hat, with his hands folded and a knife in his right hand.

"Have you forgotten the promise you made to me?"

The man slowly raised his head, revealing a ferocious face covered with flesh under his hat. It was Feng Tianba.

"I seem to have seen you somewhere before?" Before Liu Xunyi could speak, Lin Fangda had already pointed at Feng Tianba and walked towards him thinking hard, while "Fu Shou Kang Ning" also followed with swords in hand.

Lin Fangda's eyes gleamed with a gleam of light, and he suddenly realized, "Aren't you the Captain Feng from Quanzhou?" Lin Fangda's expression changed, and he jokingly said, "Captain Feng, why do you have the leisure to come to Luoyang instead of patrolling the streets of Quanzhou?"

Feng Tianba's eyes flashed with anger, but he ignored Lin Fangda and asked Liu Xunyi directly: "Liu Xunyi, you should not have forgotten what you said, right?"

"I don't understand what Captain Feng said. No matter what my brother said to you, now we are in my territory, everything must be done according to my rules." Lin Fangda sneered disdainfully, "Forget it, I am too lazy to waste time talking to you. I will give you two choices. Either I will collect some money for you and send Captain Feng back to Quanzhou. Or Captain Feng will stay in my Xianwang Mansion and never leave in this life. I guarantee that you will have good food and accommodation!" After that, Lin Fangda gave the order without looking back, "Take Brother Liu in to rest first. You don't need to interfere in this matter."

Feng Tianba's face suddenly changed when he heard this. Although he was reckless, he was not a fool. If he dared to cause trouble to the Xianwang Mansion in Luoyang City, it would be tantamount to seeking his own death. Feng Tianba still understood this.

"Why don't you get out of here?" Lin Fangda stared at the hesitant Feng Tianba with his tiger eyes. He raised his voice and his tone instantly became fierce. "Do you believe that I will chop you up and feed you to the dogs? When the time comes, I don't give a damn whether you are Captain Feng or Captain Ma..."

"Brother, wait a minute!" Just as Lin Fangda was threatening Feng Tianba, Liu Xunyi suddenly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to hold Lin Fangda's shoulder, stared at Feng Tianba with a serious look, and slowly said, "I promised you something, and I will never break my promise. I originally wanted to hand in the errand first and then find you, but since you can't wait to chase me here, I will fulfill my promise to you first. As long as you can beat me, I will go back to the Pingjiang government office with you."
