3 days later, ----- The snow stopped, the weather was fine, the grandest scale of southern inspection procession since Jing ascended the throne set off from Tongan.
This tremendous procession consisted of 500 glorious flags that stretched for than one li long. Wherever they went, numerous people and government officials kneeled before the Emperor in welcoming greeting. ---—However, the southern procession was a bit strange. Although it was said the procession was to inspect the southern, Jing went straight to the south without inspection. Passed through big prefectures without ever stopping on the way to rest nor to experience and observe the condition of his people. Instead, they advanced all the way as if in a hurry to enter the capital of Hangzhou.
The day, exactly at the dusk time. With a party of his brothers, Lu Cang was situated in the middle and having the game of chess at the backyard. He caught sight of Ge Qing, hastened to enter the backyard with a face looked like his ass was burnt.
"Big Brother…Big Brother…Not good!" He panted for breath, talking in a broken sentences.
"Brother Qing, don’t be impatient, say the matter slowly?." Lu Cang smiled gently.
Ever since he came back to Hangzhou, the comfortable life had made him a bit fatter. Lu Cang felt as if his whole-self had become gentler.
"The Emperor…the Emperor, he…" The more Ge Qing wanted to speak, the more he gasped for air. Ge Qing had been suffocated for quite sometimes, yet couldn’t tell the reason.
Hearing this two words, Lu Cang blanked on the spot. The chess piece he held in his hand dropped to the board, produced a loud noise, but he didn’t even notice.
"What? What? The Dog Emperor is what?" Just by simply hearing Jing’s name, From Cao Xin’s top of the head, smoke was rising, he got angry. He still couldn’t forget that time in Tonghua House, when he was wickedly done by the celestial flowers.
"The Emperor is…The Emperor is in Hangzhou!"
"What?!"
Suddenly, the backyard was loud with the shouting in terror noise. After all, they grew accustomed to this city peaceful, happy life and the arrival of Jing brought the possibility to disrupt their happiness and everything.
"Everyone don’t panic! Ge Qing, I ask you, do you know Jing…the Emperor, why on earth is he here?" To be the first to calm down was Lu Cang.
Ge Qing scratched his head. “looks like it is something about a southern inspection…”
Lu Cang raised his head. His facial color became bright and clear. : “The Emperor’s inspection, it is just performing a necessary government affairs. There is no need for us to be panicked. We’ll continue accordingly with what we originally plan to do. Do not pay any attention to other people’s business.”
"So tonight are we going to Gao Zhuang Zhu’s Wulin (Martial Artists) feast ?” Cao Xin was a little bit hesitant to believe Lu Cang was as calm as he seemed, but after staring at him for a long time, he was still unable to find any indications of flaw nor weak points.
This Gao Zhuang Zhu was Hangzhou’s city renown Wulin’s Godfather figure. He was Lu Cang acquaintance from Mt. Lu Cang. This Wulin’s feast was his grand ceremony to wash his hands in a gold basin ( to abandon the life of an outlaw ). He invited all the Wulin’s figures who had their names and reputations well known.
"Of course we’re going! Gao Zhuang Zhu has promised to introduce beautiful women to me." Lu Cang waggled his eyebrows flirtatiously, causing Ge Qing and the rest to laugh.
Lu Cang’s abnormal behavior made Cao Xin even more worried. ---- Big Brother has never been fond of women, but after he heard that Jing is in the city of Hangzhou, he suddenly is fascinated by them. This is all the more proving that Jing’s person influence on him.
Despite being worry, Cao Xin didn’t have the heart to saying out loud what’s on his mind for afraid of making everyone spirits dampened.
The night in Hangzhou city, its lively and excitement degree was not to be inferior in any aspects compare to the imperial capital.
With his band of brothers, they walked through the hubbub voices of the street. Looking at the both side of the road decorated with exquisite festive lanterns, under those lanterns, a row of young man and woman walking by in a fashionable clothing and make up. Lu Cang and the party’s mood to enjoy the night had been elated.
Gao Zhuang Zhu held his Wulin’s feast in the Hangzhou’s most extravagant Wine house (restaurant) --- - Tianxiang house.
Arrived at Tianxiang House’s entrance, the noise and excitement from the inside could be heard all the way to the outside. Obviously the majority of the guest had arrived. ---- This Gao Zhuang Zhu had reserved the whole building of this Tianxiang house, made him deserved the name of the head of the wealthiest family in Hangzhou.
Seeing that Lu Cang and the party had arrived, Gao Zhuang Zhu greeted them from still a far away distant. : “Sir Lu.. (Lu Da Xia, basically mean Lu Hero.) Welcome, My honored guests. Why come so late? Please, go upstairs.”
Upstairs was the seated for honored guests, the VIP. Being welcomed in such a way by the host, everybody felt like an important figure, happily and elated went upstairs.
They didn’t see the downstairs behind the screen : Gao Zhuang Zhu after made sure that Lu Cang and the party had gone upstairs, he secretly pulled a young servant to the side, whispered to him : “Quick, Go to Hangzhou’s government office and find the prefect. Tell him that the honored guest has arrived.”
Like a streak of smoke, that young page boy ran very quickly. Gao Zhuang Zhu upon seeing his back’s figure helplessly made a wry laugh. : Really! A commoner shouldn’t fight the officials. ---- His grand ceremony to wash his hands in a gold basin unexpectedly became someone else earthen jar to keep a turtle. Somewhat ended up being used to cover someone’s else deed…..
Really! Too late to preserve, it’s too late to preserve! (basically he’s saying this in regard of his honor and status. He is referring to be the laughing stock for a long time and it’s too late for him to preserve his pride. He can’t fight the higher official after all.)(and it must be Ding Peng who arranged this.)(but again, I am not so sure about how to translate this line.)
On the upstairs, Lu Cang and his brothers picked the seat by the window. Looked around to all four sides, the room was filled with familiar faces of Wulin skilled artist.---- Nodding their head to show their respect. They poured the tea that was prepared on the table and drank it.
"Big Brother, Really doesn’t matter?" Still concerned, Cao Xin asked Lu Cang in a lowered voice.
"What kind of matter?" Lu Cang’s eyebrow knotted in a frown. "He, himself, allowed me to leave, why would he ask me to come back? Even if he is going to, I won’t agree…"
Lu Cang said that, but in his heart he knew for certain. : Given Jing’s arrogant nature, he wouldn’t agree to revoke his command. Lu Cang was afraid the both of them would never have the chance to meet again in this lifetime.
To think that the person he yearned for day and night was in the same city with him now, despite already having a peace of mind, he still had the thoughts of countless regret and sorrow.
He lifted his head and gazing out the window, ---- Tonight, the moon was round. Shining brightly, Coldly illuminating the whole street, with its beautiful light. ---- The moon, even sometimes lack its roundness, but eventually would be able to reunite and became round again. For human to be separated from one another, to see each other again in this life time, was a difficult thing…..
In the middle of this excitement and lively burst, Lu Cang felt that in the depth of his heart, a solitary gradually enveloping him. The smile on his face also slowly disappeared.
"Honorable guest arrived!!" From downstairs the hailing greeting for guests resounded. Followed by the the loud noise of footsteps on the stairs. Everyone was fixing their line of vision on the direction of the ladders entrance. All were curious to see what kind of important figure that had arrived.
Those were not a small party. Approximately about ten people gathered around a person in white who was ascending the stairs.
“Ah…..” Lu Cang was annoyed because his train of thoughts was interrupted by Cao Xin. Cao Xin violently pulled his sleeve.
Turning his head, his eyes directly aimed at that person in white. ----
Though it was only for a moment, it seemed as if a thousand years had passed…
