startled autumn

At night, the Qishan Underground Palace lit up a thousand bright lamps, shining brightly. Han Bi and Shen Zhiqiu walked on the plank road, which intersected and went up, leading them all the way to a cave entrance. Walking in, I saw singing and dancing, sheng and drums and playing inside. There were several men in Chinese clothes sitting on the seats, some of them were over middle-aged, and some of them looked like young dudes.

Han Bi took a rough look at their expressions and attire, and knew that they were probably wealthy businessmen in the southern area, but he couldn't tell more.

Bai Yan sat on the table, saw that Han Bi had arrived, and said luckily, "Young Master Han, please take a seat." His voice was already weird, like a sharp knife piercing the air, piercing one's ears, but it was especially clear.

Hearing this, someone couldn't help asking in surprise: "Mr. Han? The Han family in the capital?"

For a moment, the two of them felt the baptism of stares in turn. Han Bi had an outstanding appearance and a graceful temperament. As soon as he appeared on the stage, he was the first to catch everyone's attention, which relieved Shen Zhiqiu who was standing behind him.

The lineage of the Han family in the capital is all outstanding people. The most famous one today is Han Xun, the prime minister of the dynasty. He has three sons under his knees. General Bei, with a great reputation; the youngest son, Han Bi, although he has no fame and no official career, he has a wealth of wealth at a young age, and his demeanor is more like a orchid and a jade tree.

As soon as Han Bi entered the banquet hall, Bai Yan pointed out Han's surname, and with his face that was more recognizable than his surname, his identity and background were clearly revealed.

Everyone held their breath, Bai Yan slightly raised his hand, and the sound of silk and bamboo gradually died down.

Han Bi was used to this scene of people's attention, but Shen Zhiqiu stood beside him vigilantly, with a serious expression on his face.

Seeing him like this, Han Bi shook his head almost invisibly, then glanced at Bai Yan with a half-smile, and took Shen Zhiqiu to his seat.

A young gentleman boldly asked: "Dare to ask, is this... Young Master Han Bi from the capital?"

Bai Yan nodded slightly: "Exactly."

For a while, there was buzzing and discussions.

"Why is he here?"

The young man bowed and said, "I never expected that I could see Mr. Han here."

Han Bi smiled slightly and said, "Are you Wen Junluo, the second son of the prefect of Huzhou?"

Wen Junluo's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it: "You... how can you recognize me?"

Han Bi smiled without saying a word.

Wen Junluo, the second son of the prefect of Huzhou, is a well-known playboy, ignorant and lingering all day long, and he is most famous for having a red birthmark on his right forehead, which is not big, but very obvious.Although Han Bi had never met Wen Junluo before, he was very clear about the Huzhou prefect's family affairs, and seeing his clothes today, with the red birthmark, he recognized him at a glance.

Shen Zhiqiu sat by the side in a daze. He was reticent, and now he didn't know how to interrupt. Fortunately, Han Bi told him before going out: "Don't talk if you have nothing to do, and tell me if you have something to do. In case someone talks to you, Just pretend you didn't hear it."

Shen Zhiqiu thought, isn't this simple?So along the way, his silence was golden, and he did not cause any trouble so far.

Seeing his dazed expression, Han Bi handed the chopsticks to his hand, signaling him to eat. Shen Zhiqiu followed the example of kindness, took the chopsticks, picked up the bowl and ate bite by bite, completely ignoring other people's eyes.

Han Bi was just drinking.

During the banquet, too many people inquired about Han Bi's intentions, intentionally or unintentionally, so he evaded it with a few words. During the exchange of wine and wine, he calculated the identities of everyone, and he couldn't help being surprised. The rich man, and even the sons of two high-ranking officials, did not know what method the Fuluan Sect used to make them obediently convert?

Shen Zhiqiu: "Don't you eat?"

Han Bi was taken aback by his thoughtless question: "Huh?"

Shen Zhiqiu put a piece of asparagus in his bowl.

Looking at the green and tender asparagus, Han Bi was very entangled. He was originally from a noble family, and he rarely ate at the same table with others, let alone put the food that touched other people's chopsticks into his mouth. The whole table had to be changed; but Shen Zhiqiu was the one who did it, and Han Bi felt that he could not be blamed.

"It's because I didn't teach it well." Han Bi thought to himself.

Shen Zhiqiu didn't know what Han Bi was thinking, but seeing that he didn't move his chopsticks, he thought it was because he didn't like this vegetarian dish, so he asked softly, "Don't you like this?"

"No." Han Bi accidentally picked up that piece of asparagus and ate it.

When he ate it, he thought he might spit it out on the spot, but after chewing it, the fragrance of the teeth and cheeks lingered, and a fresh aroma of plants and trees echoed in his mouth. Although the seasoning was a bit simple, it was better than the fresh ingredients. It is not difficult to eat.

Shen Zhiqiu smiled at him: "Do you want more?"

Han Bi wanted to say "I have hands, and I can pinch them myself", but when the words came to his lips, it turned into a neutral "um".

The two of them prepared vegetables and ate together, the atmosphere was inexplicably silent, and even more inexplicably happy.

After the banquet, Bai Yan entered the inner room, but the guests didn't seem to say goodbye. Han Bi was just surprised. Wen Junluo, the son of Huzhou prefect, walked over with a smile, and chatted with each other as if he was familiar: "I'm afraid this is the first time Mr. Han is here." Qishan, right?"

Han Bi was full of questions waiting to be answered, seeing this Wen Junluo sent up, he smiled slightly and said: "Exactly."

Wen Junluo lowered his voice, and smiled ambiguously and secretly: "It seems that Mr. Han hasn't been to Fengluan Terrace yet?"

"Fengluan Terrace?" Han Bi's heart skipped a beat.

"That's a place of ultimate bliss..." Wen Junluo shook his head and said authentically, but Han Bi noticed that there was a light blackness under his eyes, and his footsteps were even more sloppy. Here, you can experience it tonight."

……

Fengluan Terrace is behind the banquet hall, which is a dark room.

Bai Yan ordered people to push open the stone gate, and the crowd could only hear the qin and music playing in the sky, and also saw singing and dancing blowing the ground, and there were beauties spinning on the stage, with lotus growing every step of the way. .

As soon as Wen Junluo entered Fengluan Terrace, he left Han and Chen behind, embraced a beautiful young girl, and went to act in every occasion.

As the son of a nobleman, Han Bi is used to the wind and dust, so he didn't realize how strange it was. On the contrary, Shen Zhiqiu, looking at those naked Yinggeyanwu, had to lower his head helplessly. Seeing him like this, Han Bi couldn't help saying happily: "Shy gone?"

Shen Zhiqiu nodded frankly: "Yes."

Han Bi suddenly felt that he was much more interesting than singing and dancing, and whispered in his ear: "You were once the lord of a city, could it be that you have never seen such a scene?"

There was a sweet fragrance in the air, and Han Bi's deep voice was in his ears. Shen Zhiqiu's face became hot unconsciously, and he shook his head, "It's rare for women in Yancheng to be upright and forthright."

Han Bi smiled and said: "It's not so much that there is no such thing, it's better to say that you don't know about it." After a pause, the sweet fragrance in the air became more and more intense, and he frowned suddenly, "This smell..."

Shen Zhiqiu: "It is indeed too fragrant, is there something wrong?"

Han Bi also felt a slight heat on his body, shook his head and said, "Let's adapt to all changes with the same."

In Fengluan Terrace, veils danced, and Han Bi and Shen Zhiqiu stood aside, they were quite incompatible. A woman greeted her with low eyebrows, but Shen Zhiqiu stopped her back.

He blocked the sword in front of Han Bi, and said solemnly: "Don't come here."

The beautiful woman had a pair of watery eyes, she looked at Han Bi with blushing face, and said in a low voice: "My name is Tan'er, and I would like to serve you and serve you as the master..."

Shen Zhiqiu thought for a while, drew his sword and said, "If you want to recognize him as the master, first compare yourself with me."

Tan'er: "..."

Shen Zhiqiu said sternly: "If you can't even beat me, what use will he want you for?"

Han Bi hit the snake with the stick and said with a smile, "I'll listen to him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tan'er cried as soon as he said, and ran away with tears, and threw himself into Wen Junluo's arms in the distance. They kissed passionately.

Only then did Shen Zhiqiu suddenly realize, and said in surprise: "She...she is actually that young master's lover."

Han Bi was speechless: "She still wanted to be my lover just now."

Shen Zhiqiu: "She said she recognized you as the master...does this actually mean to be a lover?"

"How can she be my lover?" Han Bi wished he could knock Shen Zhiqiu's wooden head open and stuff some cleverness into it, and finally had no choice but to say, "This matter is unfathomable to you, don't even think about it." .”

Shen Zhiqiu nodded in response, then asked after a pause, "Why can't she be your lover?"

Han Bi thought for a while, "How do you think she looks compared to me?"

Shen Zhiqiu said calmly: "Of course you look better."

Han Bi smiled and said, "Since that's the case, wouldn't it be a big loss for me if I let her be my lover?"

Shen Zhiqiu was thoughtful.

Tan'er returned home in a hurry, and the two felt that Fengluan Terrace was extremely boring, and they were about to find an exit to leave. At this moment, a woman strolled over and saluted: "Young Master Han, Your Lady is welcome."

"Saint?" Han Bi pondered for a moment, raised his eyes and smiled, "Lead the way."

When Shen Zhiqiu heard the word "saint girl", she knew that she was Qingyong's sister, and his expression brightened immediately, and he followed Han Bi.

Behind the screen, there is a large sycamore wooden bed. On the bed, there is a woman who is as clear as jade lying on her side. Her eyebrows and eyes are five points like Qinglong, but her style is like autumn geese chasing Daisy. , affectionate couple, is a rare beauty.

The woman stood up slowly, and when she opened her mouth, her lips turned bright: "Zhu Heng has met Mr. Han."

Han Bi and Shen Zhiqiu exchanged glances, then cast their eyes on Zhu Heng, and said with a smile, "Zhu Heng? Which Heng is it?"

Zhu Heng dipped her finger in the wine, and wrote the character "heng" on the table stroke by stroke. Living, looking forward, is like putting makeup on in spring, attracting flying flowers and butterflies.

Zhu Heng: "I see that Mr. Han lacks interest. I guess it's because Fengluantai's vulgar appearance doesn't catch your eyes."

Han Bi sat across from her, neither admitting nor denying it, just smiled and said: "With Miss Zhu Heng's beauty, why bother staying here?"

Zhu Heng smiled and said, "If you don't stay here, do you want to take me away?"

Han Bi: "It's not impossible."

Zhu Heng lost his smile in an instant, waved his sleeves, and sent several people around, until only Han Bi, Shen Zhiqiu and her were left behind the screen, and then said in awe: "Mr. Han is serious?"

Han Bi said lightly, "I have a few questions for you."

Zhu Heng: "You ask."

"Fengluantai, what kind of business are you doing?"

"The women of Fuluan Sect have the bloodline of the Phoenix. If they have intercourse with them, they will be like entering a fairyland of bliss." Zhu Heng said lightly, "It's ridiculous to say that we live in Fengluan Terrace on weekdays, worrying all day long, what is it? What about the descendants of the Phoenix?"

"If it's just a place of fireworks, people shouldn't be so flocking to it."

"The land of fireworks?" Zhu Heng bit his lips lightly, and said with a sneer, "In my opinion, this place is not even as good as a brothel."

The sweet fragrance in the air became more and more intense, and there was an ambiguous panting sound from outside the screen, which should be the girl's moan, mixed with the man's low-pitched laughter, and then the sound of clothes being torn, all mixed together, It's all obscene and dirty.

Shen Zhiqiu has never been a human being, and never cared about Fengyue. Now that he is in the middle of it, he can't help but blush. Fortunately, there is a screen to block him, so that he can't see anything, otherwise he will close his eyes to death Damn, I didn't dare to look at it more.

Han Bi's breathing also became slightly short of breath, but he was well-informed, and he didn't take the current predicament seriously. He just thought about it for a while, and said firmly to Zhu Heng, "There is a problem with the incense here."

Zhu Heng smiled and said, "Incense does have an aphrodisiac effect."

"But it's nothing more than that." During such a period of time, he and Shen Zhiqiu were almost as if nothing had happened.

"Master Han doesn't know something." Zhu Heng took out a small jade box from his sleeve, and when he opened it, there was pomegranate red lip balm inside. "This thing is called Yulu Rouge."

While talking, Han Bi noticed that Zhu Heng's lip color was lighter than the rouge in her hand, and the color of this Yulu rouge was eighty percent similar to that of Tan'er's lip color that appeared just now.

"Incense is just an aphrodisiac, and this jade dew rouge is what makes people want to stop." Zhu Heng stroked the edge of the jade box, but his eyes gradually became empty, "I have a little red lips, but those who taste People who have experienced Yuluyan are all infatuated with it, hot and smokey, as if they are in a fairyland. After a while, they will long for it, feel itchy, and come to Fengluantai to have fun again. As time goes by, I can’t leave here anymore.”

It was only then that Han Bi realized that Yulu Rouge, like Xuelu Pill, was a tool used by Baiyan to manipulate people's hearts, but Xuelu Pill was a drug that was so strong that it made people unable to live or die; Yulu Rouge was a sugar-coated poison. , made into women's lip balm, if the visitors are lustful, they will accidentally take the jade dew rouge when they are making out with them, and then have hallucinations, making them feel as if they are in heaven.

Most of the people who come to Fengluan Terrace to have fun are sensual playboys. Naturally, they are like sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and once they go, they can't look back.

Han Bi: "Miss Zhu Heng, since you are willing to tell me the truth, you must be asking for something."

Zhu Heng looked at Han Bi who was at leisure, then looked at Shen Zhiqiu with a dazed face for a moment, and said softly: "I have been here for several years, and I have never seen a gentleman like these two. When I saw you today, I just thought Express all the grievances in your heart."

Han Bi smiled and said, "How do you know we can be trusted?"

Zhu Heng laughed softly: "Mr. Han doesn't know something. This aphrodisiac is specially for those men who indulge in lust. As long as you have tasted women, you will inevitably not lose your composure."

When Shen Zhiqiu heard this, his eyes widened slightly. Seeing this, Han Bi immediately wanted to interrupt Zhu Heng and tell her to shut up.

It's a pity that Zhu Heng didn't understand Han Bi's eyes, or didn't want to understand at all, and said leisurely: "However, the two young masters have not responded since they entered Fengluan Terrace... Especially Young Master Han, who is so handsome, He has a lot of money, even if ordinary beauties can't be seen, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have half a confidante, but the fact is so unbelievable. I only know that people can't be judged by appearances. Mr. Han looks frivolous, but maybe he is someone who can be entrusted to .”

Shen Zhiqiu felt honored when he heard others praise Han Bi, and said firmly, "He... my master is indeed a gentleman."

Zhu Heng sighed: "Mr. Han is not only like this, but even his servants are clean and self-conscious. It is really rare."

Han Bi was speechless.

Although, with his character and appearance, family background, and no confidante, concubines and maidservants around him, it is indeed a bit unbelievable.But after thinking about it, he has a picky eye, and he doesn't like outsiders to approach him, for fear of dirtying his own eyes. Even when he was fifteen or sixteen years old and wandered around the brothel and Chu Pavilion with others, he didn't think the romantic affairs were so touching, but It's listening to the piano and watching the dance, and few people can see it.Later, he raised a group of highly skilled Le Ji at home, and he never went to the place of fireworks.

Zhu Heng said that he has high eyesight, and ordinary beauties can't catch his eyes, but he is extremely opposite. Both his mother and his eldest sister are well-known beauties in the capital. The stars and the moon compete for glory.

He was used to seeing beauties since he was a child, so naturally he would not be easily tempted.

It's just that Shen Zhiqiu...has he been the lord of the city, but he has never touched a woman?Han Bi looked at Shen Zhiqiu who was at the side in a blink of an eye. Seeing his calm expression, he knew that he didn't understand what shocking words Zhu Heng was saying.

Then Han Bi suddenly remembered Lu Zheliu.

He suddenly felt that Shen Zhiqiu was really infatuated with Lu Zheliu, even though Lu Zheliu had betrayed him ten years ago, he was still willing to guard his body like a jade, waiting for the day when he would meet Lu Zheliu again.

It was pitifully stupid.

Shen Zhiqiu saw Han Bi staring at him suddenly, the expression in his eyes was as deep as a pool, and there was a vague displeasure. He didn't know where he had offended him, so he could only wink at him innocently.

Han Bi looked at him solemnly for a while, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, put Shen Zhiqiu aside, and asked Zhu Heng, "Just tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

Behind the screen, the sounds of physical collisions and women's begging for mercy came one after another. It was like a cruel and beautiful feast. The people inside were all victims held by Bai Yan. The night was boundless and endless.

Standing at the other end of the thick fog, Zhu Heng clenched his hands tightly, his lower lip was bitten with blood, red like the box of Yulu rouge wrapped in desire and calculation.

"I want you... to kill Bai Yan."
