chronicle of court survival

Xia Qing was stunned, wondering: "Who can stop you if you want to enter Fengyue Tower?"

Wei Liuguang got angry when he mentioned this, and he pulled the grass on the wall with his fingers, his face livid: "No one stopped me half a month ago, but now it's gone! It's all because of that mad dog Yan Mu, who caused me to be grounded by the Wei family now." Even expecting that I would sneak out, my father directly issued a death order to the old bustard of Fengyuelou, saying that he was not allowed to let me in, and told the old bustard to put up a sign at the door saying 'Wei Liu and dogs are not allowed to enter'! Kill me! This old man!"

"..."

Recalling what Wei Liuguang said to Yan Mu that day, "I want to fight and find my father".

Xia Qing didn't know what to complain about this father-son relationship for a while.

The young Merman finally had enough of crying, so he stopped crying.

Xia Qing ignored Wei Liuguang and asked him, "How long have you been waiting for your grandfather here?"

The teenager's eyes were red, and he choked up and said, "I don't know. Grandpa said it will come out soon, but it hasn't appeared yet."

Xia Qing thought for a while, then asked, "What's your sister's name?"

"Chunhe."

"Chunhe?" Unwilling to be ignored, Young Master Wei forcibly inserted the topic again, his eyes lit up, and he was happy: "Isn't this a coincidence? The little maid next to Sister Xuanjia is called...Chunhe, so it's your sister .”

As soon as he lowered his head, the hair crown almost fell off again.

Wei Liuguang thought it was troublesome, so he just took it off, his hair was disheveled, and he smiled and said, "My good brother, don't cry, now your sister is my sister, and your grandfather is my grandfather. Don't worry, I will change my name right away." Let me help you find it."

Xia Qing breathed out quietly: "Get off the wall first."

"Oh, okay." Wei Liuguang looked left and right, saw Xia Qing's back with sharp eyes, and immediately pointed happily: "Little beauty, help me pick up that ladder!"

little beauty.

Xia Qing raised his eyebrows, looked at him with a blank expression on his face.

Wei Liuguang pondered for a while, then changed his words: "The beauty?"

Xia Qing took the boy's hand, turned around and left: "I think you can stay up there for one night."

Wei Liuguang: "..."

Wei Liuguang: "Hey! Benefactor! Bodhisattva! Brother!"

Xia Qing finally saved Wei Liuguang from the wall.

This young master Wei Liu, who is famous as a dandy, patted the grass on his clothes like a chatterbox: "Originally, I was hiding from acquaintances, but I didn't expect that when I came here, I would encounter a bully who robbed the women of the people." Drama. I was planning to turn over to the hero to save the beauty, but I was cut off by you."

Xia Qing said puzzledly, "You just came here, how did you know about him?"

Wei Liuguang was quite proud: "Because I watched his grandfather go in! I wandered in front of Fengyue Tower for two hours!"

Xia Qing: "Didn't find a chance to go in for two hours?"

Wei Liuguang was poked at a sore spot and almost covered his face and wept.

"Gu." After a while, a hungry voice sounded.

Xia Qing didn't think he was that hungry, so he turned his head and found that it was the young mermaid.

The young man blushed with embarrassment, his white to transparent ears were red, and he lowered his head awkwardly.

Xia Qing paused. He came here to look for food, and said, "Are you hungry? I happen to be too. Let's find a place to eat first, and we're not in a hurry."

There are still many taverns paved on the right bank of the river at night.

The music on the opposite side is overwhelming, but the lights on this side are silent.

The low room stood facing the water, with hot steam coming out of the pot, Xia Qing sat down and ordered three bowls of noodles, one for the boy and one for Wei Liuguang.

He is not as prodigal as Lou Guanxue, he took some scraps of silver from the carriage in advance, just enough.

Wei Liuguang stared at the bowl in front of him, picked up chopped green onion with his chopsticks, poked light oil on the soup, and said curiously, "I haven't eaten in such a crappy place before, and it feels pretty good!"

Bad place?

Xia Qing complained in his heart: "Then do you want to eat in such a crappy place?"

Wei Liuguang didn't know, so he blinked his eyes.

Xia Qing pointed to the side: "I asked the boss for a broken bowl, why don't you go squat in the corner and feel it?"

Wei Liuguang: "..."

He gave Xia Qing a resentful look, stopped talking, and started eating noodles with chopsticks.

The young mermaid next to him burst into tears after eating a meal.

Xia Qing couldn't hold back, looked at him again and again, saw his tears falling into the bowl like big drops like money, and asked: "If you cry like this, won't your eyes hurt?"

The boy hastily wiped away his tears and snot with his sleeve, and smiled flatteringly at him: "I, I won't cry."

Xia Qing shook his head: "I didn't mean that."

Wei Liuguang continued to interject: "I know what you mean, don't worry, only when Chunxiong cries too much will he become blind."

Although Xia Qing and Wei Liuguang... have a bad aura, he is still a good person to get along with at heart.

So we ate and chatted.

Xia Qing: "Have you ever seen a crying blind pure shark?"

Wei Liuguang shook his head: "Are you kidding me? Chunyu wouldn't cry himself blind. They are naturally arrogant, and they may not shed a tear even if they die."

Xia Qing nodded as if being taught: "Oh."

Wei Liuguang held a folding fan in his hand, and he didn't mind knocking it on the oily table. Although he looked like a dandy, he didn't have the slightest airs.He said: "Master, I have lived so many years, and I have seen many pure sharks. The only blind pure shark I have ever seen is sister Xuanjia. But she didn't cry blind, she dug it herself. own eyeballs."

Xia Qing paused with his chopsticks, and repeated slowly: "Did you goug out your own eyes?"

"That's right." The sixth son of Wei felt sorry for the fragrance and cherished the jade, and when he mentioned this matter, he felt very distressed, and said with a sigh: "You don't know how perverted some dignitaries in Lingguang City are. It’s a good show, and from time to time, you have to use various means to force Chunyu to perform on stage. Sister Xuanjia didn’t want to suffer this kind of torture and humiliation, so she just gouged out her own eyeballs.”

Xia Qing didn't know what to say for a while.

When he read "Dong Zhou Miscellaneous Tan", he felt that the situation of the sharks was cruel, but in reality, it was even darker.

When Wei Liuguang talked about himself, he couldn't stop his interest, and he couldn't stop talking: "I have read countless beauties in my life, and found that the pure sharks really have the kind of charm that makes you fascinated at a glance, just like being bewitched. , willing to do anything for her."

"When I was a child, I met Mrs. Hanyue once in the country of Liang. She was also a pure shark. She really deserves to be the stunning beauty that the king of Liang bought with ten cities. She is truly beautiful! I wanted to go up the mountain of swords and down the sea of ​​fire for her since I was six years old! "

WTF.

Xia Qing now wants to throw him into flames.

After boasting, Wei Liuguang continued: "Speaking of which, Mrs. Hanyue once saved my life, but I may never have the chance to pay it back in this life."

He opened the folding fan, which was painted with clear mountains and clear waters, and sighed: "I heard that sister Xuanjia had blue eyes like Mrs. Hanyue before. I really want to see her before." However, the infatuated expression is not finished yet. Thinking of the current situation, Wei Liuguang instantly froze, and he closed the folding fan angrily: "In the end, I can't even see her in her current form! It's all because of that bastard Yan Mu!"

Xia Qing had already finished eating the noodles when Wei Liuguang fell into recollection of all kinds of thoughts.

In a sense, this can be regarded as his first meal in this world, a real firework on earth.

He was satisfied with a full stomach, ignored Wei Liu, and asked the boy, "Do you want to go in and find your grandpa?"

The young mermaid clenched his sleeves with callused and scarred hands, paused, and said softly, "I think so."

"But he can't go in."

Wei Liuguang immediately spoke across the table.

Xia Qing: "Huh?"

Wei Liuguang: "The mermaid can be robbed at will in Lingguang. Once he goes in, he will be spotted by the bustard, and he will not be able to get out."

Xia Qing: "..."

Wei Liuguang stared at Xia Qing's face for a long time, then smiled and said, "Oh, I'm a little afraid that you won't be able to get out even if you go in."

Xia Qing: "..."

Xia Qing gritted her teeth: "Thank you so much."

Wei Liuguang: "What's your name?"

"Xia Qing."

Holding a folding fan, Wei Liuguang tapped on the table, said the name several times, and finally choked out a sentence: "Good name, how about I call you Qingqing from now on."

Xia Qing pulled out the firewood in his sleeve and pointed to the corner: "How about you just squat there tonight?"

Wei Liuguang shut up obediently.

Then he licked his face and said, "Xia Qing, let's go in together."

Xia Qing shook his head: "No, I won't go in." Being bumped by Lou Guanxue was really dumb eating coptis.

Wei Liuguang sat upright, his arrogant face was full of seriousness at this moment: "No, you have to go in. Now it's not only about helping this kid find his grandfather, but also saving my sister! You have to help me." After a pause , he simply said, "Help me!"

As soon as Xia Qing heard the word "sister" from his mouth, his scalp went numb.

"What happened to your sister?"

Wei Liuguang twitched his mouth: "Yan Mu caused such a scandal because of a mermaid, that crazy woman Yan Lanyu will not let my sister go, her aversion to mermaids is well known in Lingguang City."

"Not long ago, His Majesty said that he was interested in Xuanjia, and all the monks from all over the world came to Lingguang, so Yan Lanyu was distracted and didn't deal with it. As a result, His Majesty said that for a long time and there was no movement. Now the monks are gone Settle down well, I suspect that Yan Lanyu is going to attack my sister."

Xia Qing was silent for a moment.

Heart said: His Majesty is not silent, isn't this coming tonight.

——But Lou Guanxue came here, really because of Xuanjia?Based on Xia Qing's understanding of Lou Guanxue, it was almost impossible.

After Wei Liuguang faded away from his domineering and domineering manner, it was quite a thing to beg for help.

But at this time, the young mermaid said in a shy voice: "Benefactor, it's fine, you don't need to help me find it, I just continue to wait."

Wei Liuguang interrupted him: "Wait! You haven't come out for so long, I think it's because the bustard didn't want to let him go, and because he thought your grandpa was meddling, he just killed him and dumped his body inside! You can't wait until tomorrow!"

The young mermaid's face turned pale.

Seeing him threatening people, Xia Qing was speechless: "I know why Fengyuelou put you and the dog together."

Wei Liuguang spoke convincingly: "What I said is also impossible. I am quite familiar with the old bustard, and I still understand the style of this vicious woman!"

Xia Qing didn't want to hear this, so she picked up the firewood and said, "Let's go."

Wei Liuguang's eyes lit up: "You agreed? Okay, thank you brother."

What Wei Liuguang said was that Xia Qing should cooperate with him to enter the building. To put it bluntly, it was a man and a woman who pretended to be a couple who had returned from a pleasure boat trip.

Wei Liuguang, a genius brain, made Xia Qing pretend to be a prostitute, while he wore his hair and pretended to be drunk, leaning against Xia Qing to cover his face.

When his mother yelled "Grandfather", Xia Qing almost couldn't hold back and threw him into the moat.

Fortunately, Mr. Wei Liu's straight male attributes permeate his soul from his bones. Otherwise, Xia Qing would really think that he ran out of the Nanfeng Pavilion next door if he said "beauty" and "brother" to him.

It is estimated that no one thought that the domineering and arrogant Young Master Wei could pretend to be like this. They really tricked the guards and walked in.

Wei Liuguang didn't dare to show his face when he came in, because there were too many people who knew him.

He could only continue to cover his face with his sleeves in a "coquettish" manner, dragged Xia Qing and ran to the backyard.

When there was no one else around, Wei Liuguang finally breathed a sigh of relief, his face was cold and he gritted his teeth: "Sooner or later, the young master will peel off Yan Mu's skin."

As a signboard, Xuanjia naturally lives in the upper-class wing.

On the roof of the Cuiyan Building, red lanterns adorn the corridors, and the brilliance is long.

Wei Liuguang straightened his crown as he walked.

"Chunhe is Xuanjia's personal maid. If you find Xuanjia, you can find out Chunhe's whereabouts."

Xia Qing smelled all kinds of rouge and gouache in the air, and wrinkled his nose.

Wei Liuguang saw his movements and smiled narrowly: "Is this your first time here? Little brother?"

Xia Qing: "?"

Changed the name after using it?

But he didn't bother to talk to Wei Liu, he was curious about everything when he just had a body, but it didn't include love between men and women.

Wei Liuguang paid close attention to Xia Qing's expression.

But he found that the boy just glanced at him, then lowered his head without saying a word, and went to play with the relic on his wrist.

"Tsk." She seemed really uncomfortable.

Wei Liuguang hesitantly: "It's all here, do you want some excitement?"

Depend on……

Xia Qing's scalp felt numb when he heard the word "stimulating", and the firewood branch in his hand almost didn't even think about it, so he poked Wei Liuguang's back of the neck directly, and said coldly and irritably, "Can you shut up?"

It's not the kind of small fight between children, but it's not full of murderous intentions.

The moment Xia Qing waved the firewood branch, the air fluctuated slightly.

Wei Liuguang was stunned, and shrank his neck: "It's just a joke, why are you so impulsive." He waited for Chai Zhi to leave, touched his junior, rubbed his fingers in the air twice, and suddenly said: "You Is it a Xuanyun sect disciple?"

Xuanyun faction?The one who begged for rain during the day?

Xia Qing didn't even think about it: "No."

Wei Liuguang: "You use a sword?"

Xia Qing pursed her lips, thinking that this person was talking a lot of nonsense: "No need."

Wei Liuguang: "You use a sword."

Xia Qing denied: "No, I don't know how to use a sword in my life."

Of all the cold weapons, he hates swords the most.

Wei Liuguang gave him a strange look, and then smiled brightly.

The crown is straightened, the clothes are straightened, the folding fan is opened, fox eyes, thin lips, and it is that dandy with red sleeves all over the building.

Not at all like the idiot next to the chaos stall on the wall.

He coaxed people: "Okay, no swords, we don't use swords."

Xia Qing: "..." Still an idiot.

Xia Qing endured it for a long time, and decided not to bear it: "Why are you talking so disgustingly?"

Wei Liuguang was stunned for a moment, then he laughed while holding a folding fan.

Xia Qing: "...it's disgusting to laugh at."

Wei Liuguang stopped smiling, and said aggrievedly, "You are the first to say that."

Xia Qing was about to say something, but suddenly felt a little coolness on his face. He looked up and found that the clouds were slowly gathering together in the sky that was still clear with stars and moons just now.

"It's raining?"

As soon as Wei Liuguang raised his final note, he looked very frivolous.

Xia Qing took the firewood and walked up the stairs in a muffled voice.

Messy black long hair, gray robe, and a trace of cold resistance from the back.

Wei Liuguang was standing in the courtyard, without the bluffing and coquettish behavior of a young man, his light purple clothes and golden jade crown were quite rich and elegant. Finally, he raised his lips and smiled, and opened the folding fan: "If you don't use a sword, you don't need a sword. I also don't like being forced to use a sword."

Although he didn't know the way, Xia Qing consciously walked to the top floor.

Wei Liuguang walked up quickly from behind: "When you see my sister Xuanjia later, you will definitely fall for her too."

Xia Qing twitched the corner of her mouth: "Please don't judge others by yourself."

Wei Liuguang tilted his head again, shook his folding fan, looked at Xia Qing's face in the bright light, and smiled: "Oh, actually, I'll take a closer look, you haven't opened it yet, you may not be worse than Xuanjia when you grow up."

The firewood branch in Xia Qing's hand went straight to his eyes this time.

Wei Liuguang seemed to be familiar with his reaction, so he blocked it with a fan and muttered, "You have a bad temper."

"Go quickly."

Wei Liuguang said, "What are you in a hurry for? It's not your sister."

Xia Qing asked the doubt that had been hidden in her heart all along: "If Xuanjia is the kind of person who would rather poach her own eyes in order not to be humiliated by the rich and powerful. Then how can you make an exception for a dude who tried to buy her virginity? Don't you It’s not self-indulgent, we will be kicked out when we go up.”

Wei Liuguang: "..."

Wei Liuguang suppressed his smile, seemed very dissatisfied that Xia Qing questioned him about this kind of thing, serious and speechless: "You are so strange. Could it be that she also fell in love with me at first sight?"

Xia Qing: "..." Who is it that is strange?

Wei Liuguang fanned his fan, full of confidence: "Anyway, she is very special to me."

Xia Qing waited maliciously for Wei Liuguang to be slapped in the face.

However, they were destined to be disappointed.

Wei Liuguang, who was looking forward to meeting his "good sister", did not see Xuanjia.

In the most luxurious and spacious room on the top floor, they met old acquaintances.

Yan Mu.

In addition to Yan Mu, there was also a pale girl kneeling on the ground, and an old man covered in blood.

Yan Mu's face was livid, he was holding a whip in his hand, and the old bustard was licking his face and smiling apologetically.

"Little prince, this...we don't know where Xuanjia has gone today."

Fengyue Building.

woodshed.

Two guards came out from inside, wiped off their sweat, and muttered.

"The queen mother has given orders, who will dare to protect her."

"You can't kill Young Master Yan in front of you, just pour her a cup of poisoned wine and let her die on this poor ground."

This is an old firewood house that has long been abandoned.

Not long after Fengyue Tower was renovated, this side was abandoned and deserted, and weeds grew vertically and horizontally beside the dry well.The lanterns were red, the brothels were bustling, and the sky began to rain heavily one by one. The two guards scratched their faces and were depressed at the same time: "It's so good, why did it start to rain?"

Another person asked, "Did you give her a knife before you left?"

"Fixed."

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, but the moon has not been completely covered by the dark clouds.

The cold Koshihikari shone in from the dilapidated window, and covered the merman lying in the corner like a veil. She raised her head, even though her eyeballs had been forcibly dug out by herself, leaving only two dark holes .

But with long winding hair and gentle eyebrows, she still looks beautiful and peaceful, like a goddess staring at the mural for thousands of years.

Even a very glamorous red dress can't imbue her with a mortal atmosphere. She has almost the same bewitching beauty as Yao Ke, but she is not as cold as Yao Ke, and her whole person is gentle.

Xuanjia raised her head and let the raindrops fall on her face, then fell into her eyes, like tears.

It's raining.

She is going to die too.

Should have died a hundred years ago with Jingu, but has survived until now.Waking up in a trance in a cave, no matter how difficult it is to walk alone to Lingguang, there is still no way to enter the palace and take a look at the towering pagoda.

Xuanjia leaned against the wall, her long hair wrapped her body, she stretched out her hand tremblingly, and pulled out the knife stuck in her chest.

Pfft, the moment the blood gushed out, her fingers became weak and the knife fell to the ground.

The wind blows the raindrops and wets the back of the hands, causing severe pain in the already decayed lungs.

She was going to die, but there was no sorrow or sadness in her heart, only regret.

The Merman clan can only be reincarnated if they die on a grave, and if they die in the world of mortals, their souls will fly away.

She just regretted not being able to take another look at the Lingwei flower sea on the barren mound.

Xuanjia's fingers were stained with blood, bit by bit on the ground, as if she was drawing something.

At the end of the painting, a strange cold fragrance made her move, and then her whole body froze in place.

Shibu never showed a trace of confusion on his face, and slowly raised his head.

Even if you can't see it, you can intuitively look at a place.She opened her mouth, spit out a mouthful of blood first, and said hoarsely: "...you..."

Lou Guanxue didn't approach her, he loathed blood and filth, holding a bone flute and wearing a mask, he watched her death coldly at the door.

Xuanjia's fingers and teeth were trembling all over her body, she was ecstatic, she was terrified, and she was the last pious refuge before death.

Regardless of the flowing blood, she knelt on the ground, her lips trembling.

But before she opened her mouth, Lou Guanxue had already sneered and said directly: "Don't kneel to me, I'm not who you think, and I don't plan to be it."

His voice was cold and thin, like snow in deep winter.

Xuanjia didn't show any sadness because of this, she just muttered in a trance, as if in a dream: "Am I dreaming, I can see you again in my dream."

Lou Guanxue took a step forward, with mockery in his eyes.

Xuanjia sensed his approach, her breathing became tense, she was flustered, she didn't know what to do.Even if the mind is in a trance because of the pain, the mind is unconscious and feels like a dream.

But in his dream, he was still restrained, like a child.

Lou Guanxue looked down at her for a while, then calmly stated: "You are dying."

Xuan Jia knelt on the ground and asked in a very soft voice: "Is it because I am going to die that you came here?"

Lou Guanxue gave a faint "hmm": "I'm here to get something."

Xuanjia laughed, and a line of blood and tears flowed from the dark eyes, and said: "My soul is yours, of course you can do whatever you want."

Lou Guanxue's face was expressionless, she was not moved by this sacrificial piety, there was only a coldness in the depths of her eyes.

The bloody bone flute touched Xuan Jia's eyebrows.

A white light slowly pulled away from the soul and was absorbed by the bone flute.

Xuanjia's mouth was filled with the taste of blood, flesh and blood crumbled, and her soul was shattered. Kneeling in front of this man, she began to murmur like she was lost.

"I'm sorry, it was our fault back then, which caused your divine bone to be drawn and the shrine to collapse."

"It was Zhuji who had evil intentions and lured wolves into the house... But I can't persuade her, I can't persuade her."

She was confused and distressed, and laughed anxiously: "I couldn't persuade her a hundred years ago, and I can't persuade her a hundred years later..."

"I saw a child who was bewitched by her, born with sword bones, in Lingguang City. I wanted to save that child, but I couldn't."
