Chapter 28 Painting and Shadow

In a villa, Zhuge Nanming's face was extremely ugly.

He already knew the news that Chengtianzong was destroyed.

Shocked, unbelievable.

Qin Zhan's condition has gotten much better after two days of recuperation, but he is still wrapped in bandages and barely gets out of bed.

He trembled with anger when he heard the bad news, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help spilling blood again.

Chengtian Sect is the backbone of the dark pavilion, which is also the confidence that Qin Zhan dares to challenge with Zhou Xiao. Now this confidence has been taken away by Zhou Xiao...

"How is that possible?" Qin Zhan hated to the extreme.

Zhuge Nanming let out a long sigh, "Humans are not as good as heaven. I didn't expect Zhou Xiao to have such a trump card. Why, I fought at the Royal Academy that day, and I never saw such a strong person show up?"

Zhuge Nan was terrified of thinking carefully.

A person who can destroy the Chengtian Sect with one hand will only have a higher cultivation base than him, and it will be a lot higher.

Because even he couldn't do it so neatly.

Qin Zhan did not speak, but Qinglong said on the side: "According to the current form, it is impossible to regain the imperial power in a short time. The revenge of the nine clans cannot be avenged for the time being..."

Zhuge Nanming said: "This matter has to be discussed in the long run, so don't be in a hurry. Fortunately, we still have the support of the two great families of Ye and Gu, and careful planning is not necessarily impossible."

"The teacher is right." Qin Zhan's voice was cold, "I don't believe that Zhou Xiao didn't have wet feet."

At this time, Ye and Gu, the two patriarchs of aristocratic families, had a secret meeting.

"Brother Ye, what do you think about the destruction of the Chengtian Sect?" Gu Hai, the head of the Gu family, asked Ye Cang, the head of the Ye family.

Ye Cang frowned slightly and said after a while, "It's not a good sign."

"The emperor's actions against Chengtian Sect this time are obviously because Chengtian Sect has something to do with the Dark Pavilion. This little emperor has no tolerance for sand." Ye Cang's tone was rather solemn.

Gu Hai nodded when he heard the words, "Brother Ye is very right. I also have some concerns..."

Halfway through his words, Gu Hai stopped and looked at Ye Cang.

What a shrewd person Ye Cang was, how could he not know the meaning of Gu Hai's words, and said, "The little emperor gradually eliminated the forces that disintegrated the dark pavilion. Now that the Chengtian Sect has been destroyed, I am afraid that there will be no two families, Ye and Gu, in the future. Peaceful days. What are your plans, Brother Gu?"

Gu Hai took a sip of tea and thought about it for a long time: "The fate of Chengtian Sect has sounded the alarm for us. Although my second family has some background, it can't be compared with Chengtian Sect..."

"What do you mean?" Ye Cang asked.

"Take one step at a time, and follow the trend." Gu Haidao, "When you and I were attached to Qin Zhan, you wanted the family to go further, but now..."

The two did not continue talking, they looked at each other and already knew what each other meant.

…

When Zhou Xiao led the army back to the imperial capital, night had fallen quietly.

The imperial capital at night is brilliantly lit and has a unique flavor.

Looking at the bustling streets and crowds, Zhou Xiao suddenly felt that it was good to be an ordinary person.

Ever since he crossed over, he has been an aloof emperor, admired and worshipped by his subjects.

It has been a long time since he felt this kind of human firework.

So Zhou Xiao changed his mind temporarily and said to Zhao Zilong and others: "Guo Nu, you go back and settle the army first, I still have things to do. Zilong, come with me."

"The last will obey!" Guo Nu didn't ask more.

Wei Zhong wanted to speak, but Zhou smiled and said, "Wei Zhong, Nezha, you guys also go back."

Wei Zhong suddenly felt a sense of falling out of favor, but he could only respond.

As for Nezha, Zhou Xiao felt that there would be an accident with him...

After Wei Zhong and others left, Zhou Xiao ordered Zhao Zilong to find two sets of ordinary people's clothes. After changing out of the Wangu robe, Zhou Xiao dressed up as a handsome boy.

And Zhao Zilong is dressed in strong suits, with extraordinary equipment, somewhat like Zhou Xiao's 'bodyguard'.

"Master, what are we going to do now?" Zhao Zilong asked.

Zhou Xiaoxiao cleared his throat, "Private interview in micro-service."

"By the way, don't call me the lord when you're not in the palace, just call me the son."

"Yes, son." Zhao Zilong entered the role rather quickly.

Walking out of the alley and blending into the noisy and bustling streets, Zhou Xiao suddenly found a realistic question: "Zilong, do you have any money?"

How to play without money?

"I brought it." Zhao Zilong handed a bag full of silver to Zhou Xiao.

awesome!

To be honest, the nightlife of the ancients was not as rich as Zhou Xiao imagined.

restaurants, casinos, brothels…

was not very interested in the first two Zhou Xiao, so he stopped at a place called Baihualou.

"Master..." Zhao Zilong realized that something was wrong, and immediately changed his words, "Master, you..."

Zhao Zilong never dreamed that it was the first time in his life that he came to such a place to follow the dignified king of a country!

Zhou Xiao coughed and said, "Don't get me wrong, I just think the sound of the piano is nice..."

So the Great Zhou Emperor Zhou laughed,

Shamelessly walked into Baihualou!

In the Hundred Flowers Building, a group of Yingying Yanyan immediately greeted them, but Zhou Xiao was really not interested in them.

Actually Zhou Xiao was really attracted by the sound of the piano.

Entering Baihualou, the melodious sound of the piano becomes clearer, ethereal and lasting.

"Who is playing this piano?" Zhou Xiao asked.

The old lady greeted Zhou Xiao with a good-humored attire and greeted him with a smile, "Girlfriend who played this song. Your son is really elegant. Girl Huaying will play a song tonight. Why don't you listen to the song in the private room on the second floor?"

"Painting shadows?" Zhou Xiao asked in confusion.

The name sounds like a beautiful woman.

"Looking at the young master's face, this is the first time to come to Baihualou?" The old man enthusiastically led Zhou Xiao to the second floor, "Huaying is the signature of our Baihualou, not only looks picturesque, but also plays the piano well. The young master is also lucky, the girl painting shadow can only show up once a month, and the young master just happened to meet him."

Zhou Xiao suddenly became interested in this painting.

led to the private room, Zhou Xiao ordered the best food and drink, the old man wrote it down and asked, "Does the son need to ask a few girls to accompany him?"

"No need." Zhou smiled.

The old lady was very sensible and didn't ask any further questions, so he backed away.

Soon the food and drinks will be ready.

Looking forward from where Zhou Xiao was sitting, I happened to see a stage. The stage was covered by a veil, and there was a guqin in it, but no one was there...

With the passage of time, the number of guests in Baihualou has also increased.

Zhou Xiao heard many people talking about painting and shadowing.

"After a month of waiting, it's finally time for Girl Huaying to play the piano again..."

"It's just a pity that it has been more than a year, and no one has seen the appearance of Huaying Girl."

"If you can see the beauty, you will have no regrets in this life!"

…

Zhou Xiao listened attentively, thinking, "Is it so exaggerated?"

I have never seen the real face, how do you know she is beautiful?

Wouldn't it be a backside killer?

Zhou Xiao couldn't help but think wildly.

At this moment, the old lady beckoned the guests to be quiet.

On the second floor, opposite Zhou Xiao, a beautiful figure was supported and slowly walked behind the veil and sat in front of the guqin.
