[Douluo/Sword Three] Tang Paper Umbrella
Chapter 176 "9" The old friend remains unchanged
Shangguan Danfeng's red lips lost their color, and her hands trembled as Meng Jiang controlled the blood peony. The two pairs of slender hands overlapped and held each other, like a pair of close friends.
But Shangguan Danfeng knew that the malice in Meng Jiang's eyes and the intention to kill her were not fake. But she hid it very well. Except for Shangguan Danfeng who faced her directly, even Hua Manlou, who was very sensitive, didn't notice it.
The sweetness of the blood covered up the fragrance of the flowers, and Meng Jiang could barely smell relaxed and happy. She would rather smell the smell of blood than the fragrance of flowers giving her a headache.
But Meng Jiang only scared Shangguan Danfeng and did not really want to kill her. After all, although she provoked him, as far as Meng Jiang was concerned, Shangguan Danfeng's crime would not lead to death. The reason why she radiates murderous intent is purely for acting, otherwise, how could she stimulate Shangguan Danfeng?
When the fake becomes real, the real is also fake. Only when the boundaries between real and fake are blurred and intertwined can people be most easily deceived.
She is deliberately sending out a signal: I hate you so much that I hate you so much that I want to kill you.
It frightened Shangguan Danfeng and made her panic, so that she showed her flaws.
Similarly, Meng Jiang could also clearly feel that Shangguan Danfeng also wanted to kill him, but so what? She wasn't going to play with her any longer.
Shangguan Danfeng wanted her to die, but she completely ignored him and forgot about him. This was the most humiliating thing.
The blood peony ended up being thrown to the ground and crushed to pieces.
After leaving the bejeweled Yan Mansion, Meng Jiang took his horse back and endured it again and again. Finally, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. He almost fell off the horse with laughter, but was helped by Tang San, who had quick eyes and quick hands.
"Oh, have you seen Shangguan Danfeng's expression? It's so funny, hahaha! Am I really that scary? She's so timid, her face turned pale with fear, hahaha!"
Tang San shook his head and didn't reply. Even if Shen Zhuan's murderous intention was revealed, it was not something a mortal could easily bear. He said to Lu Xiaofeng, "You can pay attention to the connection between Huo Tianqing and Shangguan Danfeng. After that, there is nothing we can do to help."
After returning from Shanxi, Meng Jiang and Tang San did not interfere with the Jin Peng Dynasty incident. They only listened to Lu Xiaofeng's general outline of the incident after it was over.
Soon, Lu Xiaofeng was involved in the embroidery thief incident again. Meng Jiang just sighed at the other party's bad luck, and then plunged into the showroom by the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou to admire the beauties. Wonderful dancing.
At this time, Tang San temporarily returned to Tangmen to deal with matters, otherwise Meng Jiang would not dare to be so promiscuous.
But her purpose is not to watch the dance, but to find someone.
The show hall is called "Yi Ying Lou", and the dancers are in colorful clothes and feathers. The people they meet are officials, nobles, heroes, or poets. On the first and fifteenth day of each month, guests from all over the world gather. It caused a sensation when it opened. It is actually the most elegant place in the south of the Yangtze River. There is rouge and embroidery, but there is no dust.
Meng Jiang's original purpose of opening the teahouse was because he was the best informed among the guests. Therefore, he learned that although the Yiying Building was a dance studio, it could also be regarded as an organization, which housed orphans and children rescued from the rivers and lakes. A young woman whose heart was broken by a man. Therefore, out of morality and justice, Yiyinglou has many supporters, most of whom are young female heroes. There was a troublemaker who had his ears cut off with a sword by the daughter of the village.
Does this sound familiar?
Meng Jiang was certain that the beautiful girl she saw at that time was definitely not her hallucination.
Although she didn't want to add to the sadness of parting, and everything she did back then was just a dream during the Tianbao years, she still wanted to see her old friend again when she met her.
So, Meng Jiang came here.
She chose a seat in the middle of the front row and just sat there, sipping tea and watching the dance.
Almost all the people who come here are men, and the rare women are also dressed in smart clothes. They look like chivalrous women traveling in the world. It is extremely rare for a lady like Meng Jiang to have a beaded skirt and a hairpin.
On the table in front of her, in addition to dessert plates, teacups and teapots, there was also a clear jade umbrella decorated with sapphire.
In this world, most of the music score of "Nishang Yuyi" has been lost, and the dance is even more elusive. But the song in front of Meng Jiang now is no different from the "Nishang Yuyi" that was very popular in the past and was rehearsed in various feudal towns.
Meng Jiang can dance and play colorful clothes and feathers, so she can naturally discover the secret.
She knew she was right.
Sure enough, after Meng Jiang was half-full of snacks and the dance ended, someone avoided the crowds of spectators and quietly invited her into the inner room.
The person she is looking for is already here waiting for her.
"How do the girls in the studio dance to this song, "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes"?" A beautiful girl in pink clothes sat at the table, with two cups of tea already poured on the table.
Meng Jiang didn't see anyone else. He walked over and drank a cup of tea before sending the snacks down. He felt less choked before he said, "It still needs some heat."
"If Gongsun Jianwu is scheduled, maybe I can see you earlier." She said so, looking up at Miss Xiu's familiar face, and finally couldn't help but stand up and reach out to hug her, "Xiu Xiu, I miss you so much."
"Be good." Miss Xiu patted Meng Jiang on the back, "Why... I thought you were dead." At this point, she couldn't help but blush.
"If you are referring to that battle, I did die, but I had another chance and survived in other worlds, but not this world." Meng Jiang explained, "My current situation belongs to ...Well, if you practice successfully, what will be the sequelae after Shattering the Void? You will have to go back sooner or later."
So Miss Xiu no longer asked in detail, but began to tell how she came to this world.
She rubbed a string of Buddhist beads on her wrist and finally said, "Actually, life here is very good. I felt that I couldn't go back, so I built the Yiying Building here and adopted some girls. .”
"Why isn't it called 'Qixiufang'?" Meng Jiang asked confused.
Miss Xiu patiently explained to her: "You have to wait until I train Qixiu first. The martial arts of Xiu Fang needs someone to pass on. I have already started to train some good seedlings. When they complete their studies, Yiying Tower will be renamed."
Meng Jiang agreed: "That's right. The current Yiying Tower is a dance studio, and the future Qixiu Fang will be a sect. The world here is more chaotic than in the Tang Dynasty, and now is an important stage in the development of Xiu Fang. , we want to develop quietly and then scare everyone." As she said that, she started to laugh.
"That's exactly the reason." Miss Xiu nodded.
She calculated the time and asked, "Jiang Jiang, why don't you just stay here with me during this period? Let's talk, and you can also give guidance to those children."
"Okay, but I won't be here long." Meng Jiang clasped his hands and counted, "Five days at most, otherwise I should be anxious if I can't find my love."
"Love? Are you in love?" Miss Xiu opened her beautiful eyes in surprise, "Which knight is he from?"
"He was born in the Tang Sect, and his name is Tang San." Meng Jiang was a little embarrassed by Miss Xiu's performance, "He will also come to this world, and he will be implicated by me."
"It seems that you like him very much? Isn't your ideal type the kind of Mingjiao meow brother with an exotic waist, thin legs and eight-pack abs?"
"My current ideal type is also like that!" Meng Jiang poured another cup of tea and sipped it slowly, "But there is a gap between reality and ideal, and there's nothing I can do about it."
Miss Xiu couldn't help but start gossiping: "Tell me, how far have you reached?"
"We are married, and our son has found love. If his love hadn't been for a man, maybe I would have become a grandmother." Meng Jiang said.
"Grandma?!" Miss Xiu was shocked and couldn't help but look Meng Jiang up and down, "You're not trying to trick me, are you? You look like you're in your teens at most."
"Gods, they have a long lifespan." Meng Jiang fiddled with his hair and suddenly became depressed, "Xiuxiu, maybe I shouldn't have come to see you."
Miss Xiu understood that Meng Jiang was sad because she had a long life and a happy family, but she was alone. For mortals, aging, sickness and death were only a blink of an eye for the gods. Miss Xiu also knew that Meng Jiang was afraid that compared with her situation, she would feel sad about her own experience.
"Jiang Jiang, look at me." She held Meng Jiang's face with both hands and looked into her eyes soaked with moisture, "I'm glad you came to me. It means you still remember me and think about me. "
"And it's not like I have nothing. I have Yiying Tower and the girls on this floor." Then she pointed to the beads on her wrist, "He will always be with me."
"The world of mortals is vast. I have experienced it. This life is not ordinary. I am already very satisfied." Miss Xiu smiled, "So, Jiang Jiang, you don't need to feel sad for me. You should be happy for me."
Under the warm sun, the ferocious scars on half of the beautiful girl's face looked soft, but her heroic bones were unbreakable.
She never stays depressed and feels sorry for herself for long.
Rouge has never lost its heroic spirit? Gentleness also bears pride. 1
"...Xiuxiu, you are just too gentle. If you blame me, maybe I will feel better." Meng Jiang pursed his lips and couldn't help but bury his face in the crook of Xiu girl Bai Ji's neck.
Miss Xiu couldn't help but laugh: "Silly girl." She stroked Meng Jiang's soft hair.
——You are the most gentle one.
Who else would think so much about her?
At night, many small shops on the street are closed during the day, and many small shops are open exclusively at night. When the lanterns first come on, the city is as prosperous as Chang'an.
Meng Jiang took Miss Xiu out for shopping and slowly walked from the noisiest place to a quiet alley.
An old woman walked out from under the shadow of a tree. She was wearing a patched green dress. Her back felt like a big stone was pressing on it, and the stone was about to break her waist in the middle.
"Roasted chestnuts with sugar!" She was holding a large bamboo basket in her hand, covered with a piece of thick cotton cloth. "Roasted chestnuts with sugar are just on the market. The roasted chestnuts are fragrant and hot. They only cost ten cents a pound." .”
"Old man." Meng Jiang walked a few steps quickly, took out ten cents and handed it to her, "I want a pound of chestnuts."
"Hey, girl, take it." The old woman happily wrapped a pound of chestnuts for her and put it in her hand. She passed them by with the bamboo basket tremblingly and disappeared into the shadow of the alley.
"Xiuxiu, do you want to eat chestnuts?" Meng Jiang asked her while holding the chestnuts.
"Don't eat." Miss Xiu shook her head, "You won't feel choked."
"Oh, I'll probably go drink soy milk later. I remember I saw some for sale just now." Meng Jiang peeled the chestnuts one by one and threw them into her mouth, eating them with gusto.
"Little greedy cat." Miss Xiu shook her head and sighed. She wears a colorful embroidered gold mask on the scarred half of her face, so that she is less likely to be watched and pointed at when she goes out.
When Meng Jiang had eaten only a few chestnuts, someone suddenly rushed out from behind and shouted to her, "Don't eat it! Those chestnuts are poisonous!"
"...Lu Xiaofeng?" The familiar voice made Meng Jiang turn his head, but Miss Xiu didn't care who it was. As soon as she heard that chestnuts were poisonous, she knocked the remaining chestnuts out of Meng Jiang's hand and grabbed her His hands were so anxious that he almost cried, "I didn't even notice that chestnuts are poisonous! Jiang Jiang, are you feeling uncomfortable? Let's go back to Xiufang and I'll treat you!"
The two of them just went shopping tonight, so Miss Xiu didn't bring her swords. Who would have thought that they would meet someone selling poisonous chestnuts to harm others.
"Xiuxiu, don't worry, I'm fine." Meng Jiang, not caring about Lu Xiaofeng who appeared from nowhere, quickly comforted Miss Xiu, "I can be considered immune to all poisons." After all, mortal poison can't kill her. A god.
But Meng Jiang didn't understand medical science and didn't realize that chestnuts were poisonous. As for the one who knew medicine, the alley was dark and the poison was colorless and odorless, so she didn't pay attention.
The old woman selling chestnuts was probably used to doing this kind of thing. She was used to selling poisoned chestnuts and killing people, so Meng Jiang didn't feel any malice from her.
So the other party was let go.
Seeing that Meng Jiang was fine, Lu Xiaofeng relaxed and explained, "I bought this chestnut just now, and asked the old woman to find a woman wearing red shoes. She said there were two people wearing red shoes in this direction, and one of them was also I bought her roasted chestnuts. Later, the identity of the old woman was revealed, it was Aunt Gongsun. I didn’t catch her, but I thought someone had bought her chestnuts, so I was afraid something would happen, so I rushed over.”
"...Oh, this is quite a lot of information." Meng Jiang looked down at his and Miss Xiu's shoes, "Both of us are wearing red shoes." Of the two pairs of shoes, one was embroidered with pink lotus flowers, and the other was embroidered with pink lotus flowers. Embroidered with golden peonies.
Lu Xiaofeng said: "The red shoes I'm looking for have owls embroidered on them."
But Miss Xiu's focus was on another place: "Aunt Gongsun?"
"Yes." Lu Xiaofeng said, "The sword she wields is very powerful."
"Sword weapon?" Miss Xiu's face has completely darkened.
Oh shit, it's over.
Using the name of "Gongsun Auntie" to do such dirty deeds with a sword, Meng Jiang could already foresee the miserable end of the other party in the future.
King Thunder and Lightning is not someone to be trifled with.
Meng Jiang silently lit a candle for that "Mrs. Gongsun".
