Crown Sword

Chao Chen was naturally thoughtful, and when he heard the words, he was sweating profusely, and his mind was uneasy——

The absurdity must be weird, is the fake Yu Dong already there, or is the jade carving pointing to a suspicious case?How can an old man with no memory manage the black market?What is the origin of the women who serve the left and right?

Since there are countless clues, we have to sort them out from the beginning.

"The month of the ram, in my opinion, it must come from the absurd period..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was pushed to the gambling table, and he threw his hands on the word "little", while the person beside him said with an unruffled face and heartbeat: "I'll bet on him."

Without waiting for resistance, the dealer opened the dice cup, and sure enough, he won a full game.Shuangli laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, she directly tore off a small jacket, and gathered all the money into a bundle, the older and younger brothers and sisters saw that Qian was blind, and took his words as fart.

Chao Chen threw up his sleeves in anger, and did not hang out with him, only wandering around in the casino.After wandering around to the corner, I found that apart from a few big tables in the hall, most of the attics in the corner are small plates, and there are even many two people sitting opposite each other, playing games.These people's feet are either empty or piled with antique treasures, and they gamble elegantly.

"The handicap is too small, let's get something more interesting." Gong Yangyue threw a broken jade to the spectator's thug, and grabbed Chao Chen and went upstairs.The thug led them to the compartment, served refreshments, and then retreated.

Chao Chen looked around and said blankly, "What do you mean?"

Gongyangyue explained: "Once upon a time, there was a good place at the foot of Tianshan Mountain called 'Ji Le Market'. It is said that it was built by Zhong Bie, who is known as the 'Lieutenant General of a Thousand Gates' in the 'Sex, Gambling, Gambling, Robbery and Evil' of the Xiaqi Road. You can gamble money, you can also gamble on news, and you can even gamble on your life. Bliss Market colluded with Yuan Boxi, the missionary of Kunlun Tiancheng, and was attacked by various countries for refining the addictive Bliss Pill, and finally gradually declined. Although the Golden Cave was banned , but some customs have been preserved and spread on the business road.”

"Are you trying to tell someone about the ridiculous news?" Chao Chen understood.

Gong Yangyue glanced at her, and couldn't help laughing: "You stupid, let me ask you where this is? The Dunhuang black market! You're also getting information about the absurd Zhai, do you know that this is nothing more than inquiring about the emperor's affair with princes and ministers?" ?”

Chao Chen was a little embarrassed: "So you're really just playing around?"

"Of course, not only to play, but also to have fun." Gong Yangyue showed a meaningful smile, pulled Chao Chen to sit down on the ball cushion, then waved his sleeves and rang the golden bell hanging in front of the door, and soon someone find the door.

From Ge Wu to Lu Bo, from holding a lance to playing chess, Gongyangyue is proficient in everything. Chao Chen watched him fight all directions, and he felt dazzled. Apart from throwing dice on the board, he only recognized a scorpion. The play was popular among Jin kings, officials and officials, and he deliberately learned it.

After a while, there is no one to challenge, Gong Yangyue is bored, so he pulls Chao Chen to continue playing with him.

"The so-called playing chess is to throw one's own piece into the opponent's hole, like this..." Gong Yangyue sprinkled talcum powder on the chessboard, grabbed Chao Chen's hand, and pushed against the chess piece, only to see the ivory piece "Gululu" passed through the obstacle and shot into Pan Chi's cave.

It's cool in the morning and evening outside the Great Wall, and a charcoal stove is set up in the house, which makes people's cheeks flushed.

Chao Chen shook off his hand unnaturally, cursed "playing things and losing one's ambition", and turned to take a breath outside.Gong Yangyue refused to give in, grabbed the belt behind him with his backhand, and dragged him back: "Then replace it with a hidden hook."

"Don't play."

Gong Yangyue turned cold, and stared at him viciously: "Being a man must be trustworthy." Then before he could respond, he smiled softly, "Didn't I ask you to practice martial arts with me last time, but from now on, first practice your eyesight, and then fine judgment."

After finishing speaking, he reached out and wiped off the beads on Chao Chenguan's hair cap, and quickly alternated his hands in front of him, and finally clenched his left and right fists: "Guess where?"

Who would have thought that the bead Chao Chen was so precious that he didn't want to play with him at all, so he just stepped forward and grabbed his right hand: "Come again!"

"Wrong, empty fist."

Seeing him like an ant on a hot pot, Gong Yangyue was even more interested, spread his hands, and said: "Chao Chen, you are really blind."

"I think you are short-sighted."

Chao Chen retorted, angry at him as a scoundrel, and went to break his left hand again, but it was still empty punch.

The bead was not a valuable thing, but it was a relic left by his parents. It was originally worn on a long-lived lock. Later, when the boy grew up, he could no longer carry the child's accessories with him, so he removed the bead and replaced it. Falling on the cloud pendant.Later, the ring was given away to others, and he only kept the pair of beads to accompany him through those difficult years.

A silver spoon with a tapered end was placed on the tea shelf. When Chao Chen stepped back, he held it in his hand and stared at the drunken person in front of him——

"Ram Moon, you're drunk."

Gong Yangyue looked at him obsessively, and his actions seemed to be really slow.Chao Chen became ruthless, feeling that the opportunity must never be missed, raised his hand and punched him in the heart.

"You really didn't miss any chance. You've been so quiet these days, so you were waiting here." Seeing the lips of the person in front of him move, he said silently.

He was pretending to be drunk.

The silver spoon in Chao Chen's hand fell, Gong Yangyue caught it, and forced it back into his hand.

"It's right this time." Gong Yangyue immediately fell backwards, her long hair scattered on the ground, her left hand shook off the flagon she was carrying, grabbed Chao Chen's wrist, and pulled him down until face to face, Only then did he hold Chao Chen's hand, and used the end of a spoon to open the front of the front, letting the beads roll down his heart to his waist.

At this moment, Chao Chen's heart was beating like thunder, and he even forgot to pick up the beads.

It wasn't until the frivolous swordsman slid his fingers over his chin that the stupid scholar shivered and sat back up.

Gong Yangyue slapped her legs and laughed, mockingly: "Do you know the ultimate essence of walking in the rivers and lakes?"

"what?"

"shameless."

The thugs outside the door heard the sound of teacups and desks being overturned, and pushed the door to check. "I've rewarded you." Gong Yangyue waved his sleeves, kept all the money he won, and walked away gracefully by himself grabbing Chao Chen.

Shuang Li waited under the ladder to count the money, and shouted to Qiao Min who was three feet away from him: "Seventeen, if I save enough money, can I go to Yunmeng Three Mountains and Four Lakes to propose marriage?"

Gong Yangyue flicked a dried fruit on her forehead, and looked down with her hands on the railing: "Do you know what you look like now? A bandit leader."

"I'd like to just snatch Pavilion Master Shi'ang and become the Lord of the Village." Shuang Li is not ashamed, but rather proud. It's that smiling face, no matter how you look at it, it's flattering, "But you know my martial arts... "

Gongyang Yuezui poison: "What are you looking at me for? I think it is more realistic for you to go out and jump into the river and be reincarnated directly as his daughter."

"Are you going to help me or not?"

"If you don't help, I can't beat him," Gong Yangyue pushed Chao Chen forward, "Let this guy go, 'Tian Zong Shi' said that he was the one who killed Emperor Shige when he discussed Taoism with literature."

The little girl played her temper, stomped her feet, and rushed out the door like a drill.

----

In the past, there are still many people walking on the street, and the black market is still noisy.

Under the lantern at the entrance of Changjie, Shuang Li stared at the pearly jewelry on the shelf of the cart, refusing to move. The stall owner pointed to one of the peach blossom fish hairpins made of gold leaf: " Did you see this?"

Shuang Li didn't talk to her, but she didn't move her eyes either.

The fish eye of the hairpin is inlaid with hibiscus stones, and the tail pendant is dotted with broken crystals. It is also made of pure gold, and the price must not be low.Although I love it, I don't want to waste my money.Chao Chen's call came from not far away, she looked back, like a child who did something wrong and was afraid of being caught, she said "no", hurriedly pushed the pedestrians away and ran away.

While running, I thought desolately:

Anyway, she was alone, and no one would give her a hairpin. Qiao Min was afraid of women, Gong Yangyue had a poisonous mouth, and Chao Chen didn't know where he would be in the next year. There was no one to count on.

It would be great if she had mothers and sisters, and someone will pamper her when she urinates.

Gongyangyue is trying to persuade people around her not to be serious, and the girl knows to turn around after a while.While talking, when she looked up, she saw Shuang Li's guilty back, and she was a little amused, so she stopped where she was standing just now, and turned her head to pick out the hairpin from the pile of shiny things. come out.

"how?"

There are also a lot of jade ornaments piled up on the wooden frame of the cart, Chao Chen only thought he had discovered something.But following his gaze, only the girl Shuangli, who didn't have long eyes when she walked, was bumped into by passers-by.

"She will reach the end of the year next year." Gongyangyue pinched her fingers and calculated, feeling sorry for her, then lowered her eyes to look at the long-knotted pendant on the broken "Merry Boneless" sword hilt, and pulled it down, Handed it to the younger brother: "Change that hairpin, do you want to change it?"

The little brother held the jade in his hand and looked at it again and again, seeing that it was a charming and charming swordsman, he asked casually, "Buy it for the one you love?"

Gongyangyue said without hesitation, "To my sister."

The stall owner understood and wrapped the hairpin for him, but after thinking about it, he felt that the little girl just now had no similarities in eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth compared with the person in front of her, and felt weird.But it is the rule to do business not to ask about private affairs, and he doesn't talk too much. He only sees the rare Jinshui Bodhi jade, and he has a conscience, not wanting to take advantage of it for nothing, so he gives another glazed lamp to Gongyangyue: "If you have the heart, let's go again." Here's one for you, for your sweetheart."

The lamp has eight sides, giving birth to various colors, which is very ornamental, but it is not practical.Gong Yangyue turned her head and put the lamp into Chao Chen's hand: "Take it, let's light the way."

The streets are brightly lit, what can I do to shine?

Chao Chen only knew that Gongyangyue was ordering him in another way, deliberately holding the lamp and lagging behind, thinking in his heart: it would be easier to treat him as blind.

Drilling into the alley, seeing that the three of them failed to keep up, Shuang Li breathed a sigh of relief, supported the sugar painting booth, and watched the people boil the syrup until they got hungry.Seeing her eagerness, the old craftsman thought that some poor girl came out behind her back and gave her a piglet.

Shuang Li took it with both hands, put the candy in his mouth, and thanked him.The old man said he would go home with her earlier, but when she turned to leave, someone hit her left shoulder hard.

Steal?

In a place like this where fish and dragons are mixed, it is a common way to take sheep by hand. Shuang Li hastily searched the cuffs of his waist, but found that there are many things with him, and he only blames himself for being careless.

After two or three mouthfuls of gum painting, the old man stopped her: "Girl, you dropped something."

Shuang Li looked down, and there was a purse lying beside her feet, and it was tinkling inside. When she opened the slit, she saw that half of the bag was full of silver leaves.She hurriedly put it into her bosom, but felt that it was not kind, especially since she still suspected him of being a thief, so she grabbed the old man and asked, "Where is the person who bumped into me just now going?"

"there!"

Looking forward along the rough index finger, I saw a white shadow walking towards the end, turning around the Tamarix sandalwood hugged by one person, and disappearing.

Holding the purse, Shuang Li chased it for two steps until it reached the intersection of light and dark. Hearing the "creak" sound of Kuangsha hanging on the window, he looked down at the shadow. Feeling scared, he turned back to the sugar painting booth.

"If you lose something, you must look back. You give it to him." She threw the purse into the old man's arms.

After Shuangli left, the shadow retreated, dragging a robe with sleeves twice as wide as its body, and wearing a fox-face mask on its face, making a "ho ho" laugh.

The old man was closing the stall, he had just unloaded the stone pot from the small stove, looked up at the person, rubbed his eyes, came back to his senses, carefully took the purse and offered it: "The guest's things..."

The sharp nails pierced the throat, and the fox with a smile on his face pierced the craftsman's neck with his five fingers.

----

Gong Yangyue never expected that Shuang Li would get lost. In the past, this girl was very temperamental and forgetful. She had a thick skin and never heard of holding grudges.

Therefore, after seeing no one around, Gong Yangyue faintly felt something was wrong.

The three of them took Zhongjie as the center of a circle and found a few side roads separately. Soon after, Qiao Min greeted them, saying that a corpse was found in the back alley, and it was lying in front of the sugar painting booth.

"The body is still warm, and he just died not long ago." Qiao Min put his four fingers on the side of the dead man's neck and looked around.

Chao Chen Aijie didn't go with the two of them, but covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve, picked up the overturned sugar painting cart, picked up a bunch of fine hairs on the stack of sugar paintings, and the brim of the double carp cloak The similarities on the sides, and the height, can almost reveal the scene of the little girl who is unstable and being pulled by the protruding hook when turning around with the cart.

There are diabolo sticks thrown away on the sand.

Gong Yangyue stepped on one end of the bamboo stick, and rolled it on the ground. After the dust had skimmed off the sticky syrup, he held one end, opened the flesh of the dead man's wound, and said, "The knuckles are very thin." I couldn't find it for a while. A suitable description, just happened to be that Chao Chen walked over with a broken hair, and said, "It's thinner than Chao Chen's."

"A woman?" Qiao Min murmured.

People can be fat or thin, and the skin can be flat or thin, but the joints are born.Chao Chen's fingers are slender and delicate, which is rare among rough men. If it is true as Gong Yangyue said, only women and children can compare.

woman?

The only one I saw today fit this inference, and Qiao Min subconsciously added, "That woman in the Absurd Room?"
