Cultivate with an African God
Chapter 195 Red Sleeves
"Hengwuting... is it gone?"
In the early morning of that day, Mu Xinghe was digging here and there in the yard, even recklessly scraping the cinnabar and broken jade off the antiques and burying them in the ground, pretending to have a new hobby of gardening.
But when he heard the news, he didn't even remember to bury it.
Mu Xinghe felt ashamed of himself for overnight, thunderous means.
The steward handed him a brochure, which was the content he wanted to investigate before.He patted the hem of his clothes and took the booklet, sat with his legs crossed and flipped through it casually, then closed the booklet, put it in his arms, and said softly to the steward, "It was hard work for you to tidy up all night, today I will take a day off, and the gambling house does not need to open the door. "
The steward was stunned, but Mu Xinghe's mind was not on him. His fingers tapped on the table, which was his usual reaction when he was thinking. "It's really hard to digest the official bank without internal support. Hengwuting used the money indiscriminately, and the superiors are not happy..." Mu Xinghe said slowly, "Now that Hengwuting is gone, there must be someone to pick up waste or investigate. It's a pity There will also be people who secretly observe who will appear. In charge, you should also find someone to look at it, and organize it into a book when you turn back. People want to sit on the sidelines and wait for rabbits, but I will not go. The forces that do the thing of destroying the door cannot be provoked, and the life of a dog is the most important thing. !"
Immediately, Mu Xinghe stood up and greeted Zhong Zijin: "The days of prosperity in the capital city are numbered, and I have to enjoy it while I still have money. Let's go out for a while." He hooked Zhong Zijin's neck and said in a rambling voice: "Come, come, let me show you the life of the rich."
Zhong Zijin was puzzled: "Didn't you see it yesterday?"
As a result, his area brought Zhong Zijin into the world of adults.
The so-called world of adults is called the Red Sleeve Building, which is said to be derived from the meaning of red sleeves adding fragrance, but Mu Xinghe felt that it meant that the building was full of red sleeves, because when he arrived, there would be girls with fluttering sleeves, one with A veil of strong fragrance fell on his face, and the girl's voice was sweet: "Young master, don't you come to see Die Er?"
Then a strong woman came out to greet her warmly, and said with a smile: "The young master has not come for a few days, not only Die'er misses you very much, but Ran Yan also mentioned you to me..."
Zhong Zijin looked at Yingying Yanyan, quite uncomfortable, lowered his voice, and asked, "Who is Ranyan?"
"I don't know," Mu Xinghe also lowered his voice, "but the tone of his voice is probably that of an oiran."
After he and Zhong Zijin finished biting their ears, they raised their eyebrows and asked, "Where is Miss Ranyan?"
A trace of unnaturalness flashed across the old bustard's face: "Ranyan is sick, I will tell her to greet the young master later, is there any girl in the building who the young master can take a fancy to?"
Mu Xinghe looked around. In fact, they came quite early. Before the officials and nobles came to enjoy the warm and fragrant nephrite in the brothel, the girls were sleepy, and the building was in chaos. From the upstairs rushing down to welcome the distinguished guests, the sound of hanging throats could be faintly heard amidst the chaotic sound of pianos in the distance.
Mu Xinghe pointed to a sleepy woman in white who was busy straightening the jade hairpin: "She will be fine."
Mu Xinghe took over the highest part of the Hongxiu Building, where there is ventilation on all sides, no windows or doors, and extremely thin white gauze hanging around, which is suitable for elegance but not for romance.
Zhong Zijin breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the environment here, wondering if it was because he could avoid witnessing human mating.Mu Xinghe only ordered the woman in white to pour wine for him, and had no intention of mating.He looked at the scenery outside the white gauze, and praised: "The scenery is indeed good, even in Beijing, the view from this building is also one of the best."
The woman in white doesn't like to laugh very much, her voice is a little hoarse, and even when receiving guests, she is a bit sleepy: "Wouldn't it be a pleasure to taste wine and enjoy the scenery? Green fruit, go to '19 Nian Xiang'."
The girl named Qingguo bowed her body and called "Yes" and went downstairs slowly.
But she wasn't going to a wine cellar.
She lowered her body and said respectfully: "The person here is the young master of Feiyun Yinzhuang. He didn't ask anything, he just said that he wanted to enjoy the scenery and flowers."
The person Qingguo faced was not the bustard either. The woman's eyebrows were like distant mountains, her hair was like a cold night, her mouth was like vermilion dan, her pupils cut water, and her thoughts were like smoke hanging between her brows. The river flower that is about to burn, dyed her with a specious color.
But her gaze was surprisingly fierce, almost destroying the beauty.
"...Forget it, whether it is or not, there is no doubt about killing it."
Mu Xinghe pushed the wine glass lightly and cleverly, and said with a smile: "Drinking is not a pleasure, how about you and I playing a game of chess? I play well, how about you have a drink?"
In fact, there is no such rule at all, so it is just listening to Mu Xinghe himself.However, this beauty really can't talk to Mu Xinghe, at the end of the round, the beauty was already drunk, the girl recognized her wink, and quietly withdrew.
Mu Xinghe watched the people close the door, his expression seemed to be a little more relaxed because he had won a game, he slumped on the chair, and shook his fingers: "Guess who did what happened to Hengwuting?"
When Mu Xinghe was flirting, Zhong Zijin kept silently holding his sword as if he didn't exist, but he reacted quickly when he heard the words: "It must not be the moon shining, killers are good at taking people's heads, but they may not be good at slaughtering people. "
"Yes... Killing a family full of people with martial arts requires organization and strength, and I am afraid it is an inestimable strength. Of course I don't have it—so I haven't been attacked when I go out today, because they haven't sorted out the relationship for the time being. Beast Fighting There is no field, and the moon shines incompletely. Chonglou Fengge is good at news from the world, strange tricks, not martial arts, so it is probably not good. The only remaining sect in the Jianghu is the Palace of Bliss. It is said that there are all vicious monsters and ghosts. "
Zhong Zijin hesitated and said, "But few people know where the Palace of Bliss is."
The Palace of Bliss is an evil sect that everyone can punish, and there are villains that are not tolerated in the world. Although it is in the capital, because of its secret location, no one can come to the door to shout for a drink.
"What's more, the Jianghu sects are not necessarily the only ones who can do it," Zhong Zijin added after thinking for a while, "You said that they secretly colluded with the government, and it's not surprising that they were backlashed."
"Well, it is conceivable that whether it is the Palace of Bliss or a certain force in the court, the power is far stronger than ordinary people, but for us, the most important thing about the current situation is not this." Mu Xinghe smiled, "It's about us today. We may see the forces of the court and the central government take action, because there are too many dead people in the capital...Last night there was such a tragic event as the family was destroyed overnight, the capital was in turmoil, and the court had to come forward."
Mu Xinghe and the others can be regarded as free people from the rivers and lakes, but there is no king in the world, and the king's power is in his hands, so there may not be no means of suppression.
"Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here." Mu Xinghe stood up, lifted the white gauze, and signaled Zhong Zijin to come.
From the Hongxiu Building, you can almost see the west of the imperial city to the outskirts of Beijing. In Mu Xinghe's vision, a bloody river poured into the alley in the distance.No, that is not a river, but a group of blood-clothed men.
The blood-clothed man caused chaos everywhere.
"Huangcheng Secretary, Zhu Yishi," Zhong Zijin had already followed. He reacted very quickly and had excellent eyesight. You said that the gambling house is not going to open, did you anticipate this?"
"Yes, it doesn't matter who killed Hengwuting. The important thing is that many days have passed, and it will soon be unbearable. People from the imperial court use the current situation to raid sects in order to make a lot of money. They also know very well that the days they can stay in the capital are just these two days," Mu Xinghe pointed to a few figures walking hurriedly with packages in the distance, "Look."
Zhong Zijin's complexion changed: "In such a situation, these people... the direction is actually going out of the city?!"
"That's right," Mu Xinghe looked at the running people, with no joy or sorrow in his eyes, just calm, "People are dying in the capital, and the disease is spreading inward. They can't trust the imperial court, and would rather go out of the city to seek a chance of life. Such people will accompany The situation is getting worse and more and more, and the court will eventually lose control of the situation. So now it is considered the peak period of their power, and for this reason, they must suppress the sects of the rivers and lakes, and kill as many as they can."
Mu Xinghe looked at the chaos in the distance, the downstairs was still singing and dancing, the calendula was throwing wildly, the young master rode by, and the building was full of red sleeves.He narrowed his eyes slightly, listening to the splendor and prosperity of the ground.
Zhong Zijin's voice interrupted his contemplation: "Those people—"
Mu Xinghe followed his line of sight. After a long silence, those people had already gone a long way. They were not in the city, but now they were slowly approaching the outer edge of the capital.
The center of the capital is infinitely prosperous, but there are only low, gray and old houses standing quietly on the outer edge, and there are no pedestrians except them.
Those people were running at first, then walked slowly, and finally fell to the ground, crawling with difficulty, like ants whose legs had been cut off.Someone noticed something was wrong and hurriedly turned around, but it was too late, and fell to the ground without any movement.
Zhong Zijin's eyebrows were drawn together, but Mu Xinghe's expression was calm: "Others said it was an epidemic, but I think it is poisonous gas. This is an isolated city, and the poisonous gas will only advance and never retreat. We can only fight in the city, and no one can escape. They...Although they may not have life themselves, they still have the consciousness of being human. This kind of death crisis is approaching. No one can restrain human instincts. Betrayal, strife, chaos, madness... will soon control this The city, all forces will fall apart."
"Since this is the case, there must be someone who is trying to make a fortune while there is still room for control. However, Zhu Yishi is not the only one in the court. He has already devoured a Megatron general. He has been targeted for a long time. There must be other high-ranking officials. They don’t want him to take advantage of the opportunity to grow stronger, so they are likely to get in the way and combine various forces, and the most likely one is to unite with the Palace of Bliss to stop Zhu Yishi."
Zhong Zijin let out a breath: "So you came here to observe the situation in the city."
Mu Xinghe suddenly turned around, took out the booklet in his arms, and smiled brightly: "Not necessarily. Everyone can hide it if they want, but what's the use, sooner or later they have to fight, if they can't accumulate My own strength is nothing more than a slow death. You know, when I do things, I always play tricks on others for a while, and I can’t do nothing forever. I don’t believe that opportunities will fall from the sky, so at this stage, we have to create opportunities. "
Mu Xinghe handed the booklet to Zhong Zijin, and Zhong Zijin reached out to take it.That was the death list compiled by the steward overnight.
Recently, there is no peace in Beijing, and people who died in a few days can write a whole book.Zhong Zijin flipped through it hastily, and muttered in his mouth: "Plague... old age and death... assassination... eh."
His "huh" stayed on a line of words, and then quickly flipped back.
The steward is a very reliable steward. What he records is not only the list of the deceased, but also the name, cause of death, age, identity, and traces before death in the city.
Some people visited Huajie and Liuxiang before their death.And when it comes to brothels in central Beijing, none can compare to Hongxiulou.
"Why do you think people go to brothels?" Mu Xinghe suddenly asked.
Zhong Zijin closed the booklet and handed it back to his friend: "Looking for fun, socializing and... inquiring about news."
His hand was already on the hilt of the sword.
Mu Xinghe smiled slightly.
Zhong Zijin is a sword idiot, and he has always devoted himself to the way of swordsmanship, but he does not know everything. It is not only because of his strength that he can practice alone without being knocked down by the wind and rain in the world.They didn't know each other back then, Zhong Zijin almost deceived him, now Zhong Zijin can also analyze the available information without relying on others.
Mu Xinghe remembered that he once had a senior brother who worried about him very much, and he could let him talk about selling himself without fear that no one would redeem him.But now Zhong Zijin has walked through thousands of rivers and mountains alone.
Mu Xinghe's thoughts drifted away for a moment, then he quickly turned back and said, "Yes, wine and sex mislead people. When the wine is full, there will always be a beautiful woman by your side, and there will always be someone who speaks the truth after drinking. Naturally, some people have a lively mind and come here to ask for news. Do you think there is any news to inquire about now? It’s just that we people want to know. But I don’t want to...they have inquired about the news, and they have no chance to use the information after they leave the Red Sleeve Building. "
"We're here, she probably knows too."
Zhong Zijin looked solemn, his fingers stroking his sword.
Mu Xinghe looked relaxed, leaning on the fence and looking into the distance, he could understand what Zhong Zijin meant, so he smiled and said, "No, she doesn't dare to attack us at this time."
Zhong Zijin was puzzled: "She has eliminated so many opponents, and the gains should be enough to give her the confidence to eradicate most of them."
"Because we didn't come to inquire about the news," Mu Xinghe explained slowly, "We are here, but if we don't inquire about the news, Da Lala will stay at the highest place to enjoy the scenery, and she will be suspicious. Two of us came, are you A swordsman, I am a young lord, no matter who it is, if you come alone, you will have someone to rely on. Especially you, holding a sharp sword, relying on me, if I am just a young lord, with such a bodyguard, the bodyguard must be extraordinary The scheming, amazing combat power, you can use the young master to attract enemies. If I am not just the young master, this place does not allow people to form alliances. After all, there will be a battle. It is too tiring to be together day and night. Only by your strength can I be willing to cooperate with you. These two people came here on purpose, she will be wary, she will not take risks here directly. Look at the places where other people died in the brochure, there is no one in the red sleeve building, so You should understand that she dare not."
Mu Xinghe's words fell, but a low laugh came from not far away.It was a woman's laughter, and because of this strange low and hoarse voice, it was a little softer, and the voice was faint, with a hint of a half-smile: "...Who said I dare not?"
Zhong Zijin drew his sword out of its sheath, pointing at the source of the voice.
The woman in white who was drunk just now sat up slowly, with a smile on her lips and a slight mist in her eyes, unable to see her true emotions clearly.
Mu Xinghe's eyes twitched.
In fact, this person just casually pointed out out of his aesthetic preference, he never thought that this person would be abnormal!
She tilted her head slightly and looked at the two with a smile. She looked sober, and the drunkenness with blushing cheeks just now seemed to be a disguise.
But such a calm demeanor made people feel extremely dangerous.
As the eyes met, Mu Xinghe's thoughts turned slightly, and he quickly calmed down.
He smiled.
"It's not you. You're not her." He slowly walked out from behind Zhong Zijin and walked in front of the woman with clear eyes and a leisurely attitude, "I have no reason to appoint you, your appearance makes you not considered a status here Extremely high person, it is impossible to find out which guest is the target. You should not appear here. In the brothel, you pretend to be a woman, or a very ordinary woman. The target is most likely to attack other brothel women, which is beneficial to you , it can only be the female spider, not me. So it's a terrible coincidence."
The woman looked at the young man opposite.She was not drunk all the time, but listened to the young master and his attendants explain the situation in detail, with clear thinking and long-term vision.He is the young master of Feiyun Yinzhuang. This status can't be said to be too good, nor can it be said to be too bad. He is said to be bad because he doesn't have much ability to protect himself, and he is easy to attract others. As far as he is concerned, it is obvious that Feiyun Yinzhuang is very good under his command.
This person has a very special temperament, always smiling, as if he doesn't care about anything, and nothing will be under his control. His voice is bright and his eyes are clear, like the morning sun, with a light that no one can restrain. of vigorous vitality.
It seemed that even if the rainstorm came, he would not bow his head.
No one can make him admit defeat, no one can defeat him.
The young master said it was terrible, but his hands were not honest, he held her chin with a fan, and smiled at her: "Ah, there is no blemish on the face, it is impossible to tell whether it is disguised or real."
She stretched out her hand and slowly opened his fan. His action did not actually contain any malice, so she was not annoyed, but instead smiled - she actually loves to laugh, anyway, since her identity has been found out, it doesn't matter how much she smiles: "How about disguise, how about true appearance?"
"It doesn't seem to be the case," the young master thought for a while, then stared at her with a smile, "If you are true, you were in the brothel from the very beginning, and if you want to do something to that woman, it is not yet the time to maximize your benefits. If you are disguised... …You have calluses on your thumb, index finger, and ring finger. You are someone who often flips through copybooks and writes with a pen. With disguise, copybooks, and powerful help, you may be a high-ranking person in Fengge Pavilion. But no matter who it is, If you fight with me now, you will only scare the snake and hurt both sides. After all, the real fat is not with me."
The woman reached out to pick up the chess piece, threw it in her hand, quickly picked it up, and threw it again. It was a very popular game among little girls.She gathered all the chess pieces in her hand, put them into the chess box, and finally looked at Mu Xinghe: "Are you planning to seek cooperation with me?"
"What?" Mu Xinghe laughed out his canine teeth, "Isn't this a threat? Either fight us here, destroy your identity, lose benefits, and possibly get injured or die, or let us help you Assassination, if it's good... How about a [-]-[-] split? There are two of us here, and you still make money."
The woman suppressed her smile, looked Mu Xinghe up and down, and sighed: "Did I not say anything just now?"
"If you don't make a sound, we will take action later, and you will lose out as well." Mu Xinghe was very innocent.
The woman stood up, stretched her waist, covered half of her face with her sleeve, and smiled softly: "Well, anyway, today is my unlucky day."
That's what she said, but her eyebrows were relaxed, as if she had figured out something and succeeded in something, very happy.
The hands that were dyed with smoke were dyed with Kodan, and the hands were white and soft as if they had no bones.
But she didn't like it.
In the past, her hands were well-jointed, thin and powerful, and she had held spells and controlled magic weapons.She didn't know why the hell she wanted to play the brothel girl, but she finally accepted this role, lowered her head to pour wine for the man, and talked softly about Beijing and China's affairs.
Fortunately, most of the men who can talk to her are not interested in her appearance, what they are interested in is the big shots in the capital and their lives.
Of course, she was also very interested in the men who would bring these things up to her, offering good wine, lighting incense, and sending them away.
When necessary, follow them from a distance, and kill them with a spell.
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the girl opened the door. A woman was holding rouge with a smile, and looked at her attentively.
This time the action was purely Mu Xinghe hugging his thighs to pick people's heads.
The woman is a neat person, when the time comes, she calls Mu Xinghe over without any nonsense.Compared to Mu Xinghe, she is too familiar with this place, and she also has internal support in the Red Sleeve Tower, and she has attracted the smoke with a little trick.Ran Yan has never seen through that her sister is also an opponent, so she easily exposed her flaws.But the power of the smoke is so strong that it cannot be solved by a single combination.
Fortunately, the woman also has the power to devour many people, and together with the assistance of Mu Xinghe and Zhong Zijin, the oiran finally passed away, leaving behind a lot of medicine and two or three magic weapons.
The woman contributed even more. She said that she took all the magic weapons and shared the rest of the medicine equally.It was the first time for Mu Xinghe to see so many elixirs, and his eyes were straight. He was very happy and taught Zhong Zijin: "So, the most profitable thing in the world is to reap the benefits of the fisherman." Mu Xinghe and Zhong Zijin shared The spoils of war, the woman just looked at it with a smile, and didn't even have any opinion.
She had achieved her goal, so she didn't plan to stay in Hongxiu Building any longer, so she said goodbye and left soon.At the end, she suddenly asked: "There are many friends and many paths, why don't you tell the little girl the names of the two heroes?"
"Okay," Mu Xinghe said simply, "My name is Gao Yang, and his name is Li Ziwei."
The woman was still looking at Mu Xinghe, suddenly smiled, and turned around: "You can call me Jiuque."
Jiuque walked briskly and left Hongxiulou. This time she pretended to be a girl in Hongxiulou, sending love poems to old customers for the girl, but she didn't plan to come back after going, and it was difficult for others to find her.
Except those two people just now.
She is indeed from Chonglou Fengge.
Thinking of Chonglou Fengge, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her eyes were filled with genuine smiles—it feels pleasant to have power in hand, even if this power can't last for a few more days.
"Cunning man, all he left behind is a false name," she didn't care much about it, "but... the young master and the swordsman can take the opportunity to solve it earlier. Next, the Zhuyi envoy and the left minister will both lose. Let's sneak into the imperial city to see who the real person is, these days... are really interesting."
The woman habitually raised her sleeves and smiled.
Mu Xinghe swallowed the medicine, feeling that the power was coming in a steady stream.He felt that if he wanted to, he could use the Wind Raging Blue Sky Art here, and the aura of heaven and earth returned to his grasp.
He looked down at the figure that briskly disappeared from his field of vision below, and shook his head: "Woman, woman, you are clearly in a particularly good mood, and you still have to act as if you have suffered a disadvantage."
Zhong Zijinxin waved the sword to feel the feeling, and asked in surprise, "Why?"
The sun was setting slowly, and the sky was blue and blue.
"She was not threatened by me, do you know why she made a deal with us?" Mu Xinghe sighed, "It may be strange for a girl from a brothel to disappear, but as long as the young master has come and the oiran is gone, The biggest suspect is not the brothel woman, but the young master, so that others will find out that something is wrong, and after tracing it back, we killed the oiran, and all her spoils are with me, so it is naturally aimed at me. Our life will not be comfortable, she After taking the spoils, not only will you be free on the sidelines, but you may even prepare a way to kill me..."
Mu Xinghe looked into the distance, his cheeks were bathed in the sunset, his eyes seemed to be lit by the setting sun: "But it doesn't matter, this is the result I want. Once we gain power, we have to find opportunities to expose ourselves, and she just helps Do me a favor."
Mu Xinghe looked at the capital city in the sunset, the bloody river was in chaos everywhere, and there was still no sign of being stopped.
The flower street downstairs became more and more lively. Mu Xinghe yawned and planned to leave the murder scene as soon as possible, but he saw someone in white clothes walking slowly past downstairs.
Behind him is a mountain of soldiers in armor, and the ground trembles every time he steps.
The woman downstairs screamed and threw a handkerchief: "Yeah - Xiang Zuo riding a horse is also very powerful -"
Sensing the gaze, the man slowly raised his head, his eyes were cold and calm, deceiving Shuang Saixue's stern face.
The author has something to say:
I actually updated, and updated so much, it's really touching!
In the early morning of that day, Mu Xinghe was digging here and there in the yard, even recklessly scraping the cinnabar and broken jade off the antiques and burying them in the ground, pretending to have a new hobby of gardening.
But when he heard the news, he didn't even remember to bury it.
Mu Xinghe felt ashamed of himself for overnight, thunderous means.
The steward handed him a brochure, which was the content he wanted to investigate before.He patted the hem of his clothes and took the booklet, sat with his legs crossed and flipped through it casually, then closed the booklet, put it in his arms, and said softly to the steward, "It was hard work for you to tidy up all night, today I will take a day off, and the gambling house does not need to open the door. "
The steward was stunned, but Mu Xinghe's mind was not on him. His fingers tapped on the table, which was his usual reaction when he was thinking. "It's really hard to digest the official bank without internal support. Hengwuting used the money indiscriminately, and the superiors are not happy..." Mu Xinghe said slowly, "Now that Hengwuting is gone, there must be someone to pick up waste or investigate. It's a pity There will also be people who secretly observe who will appear. In charge, you should also find someone to look at it, and organize it into a book when you turn back. People want to sit on the sidelines and wait for rabbits, but I will not go. The forces that do the thing of destroying the door cannot be provoked, and the life of a dog is the most important thing. !"
Immediately, Mu Xinghe stood up and greeted Zhong Zijin: "The days of prosperity in the capital city are numbered, and I have to enjoy it while I still have money. Let's go out for a while." He hooked Zhong Zijin's neck and said in a rambling voice: "Come, come, let me show you the life of the rich."
Zhong Zijin was puzzled: "Didn't you see it yesterday?"
As a result, his area brought Zhong Zijin into the world of adults.
The so-called world of adults is called the Red Sleeve Building, which is said to be derived from the meaning of red sleeves adding fragrance, but Mu Xinghe felt that it meant that the building was full of red sleeves, because when he arrived, there would be girls with fluttering sleeves, one with A veil of strong fragrance fell on his face, and the girl's voice was sweet: "Young master, don't you come to see Die Er?"
Then a strong woman came out to greet her warmly, and said with a smile: "The young master has not come for a few days, not only Die'er misses you very much, but Ran Yan also mentioned you to me..."
Zhong Zijin looked at Yingying Yanyan, quite uncomfortable, lowered his voice, and asked, "Who is Ranyan?"
"I don't know," Mu Xinghe also lowered his voice, "but the tone of his voice is probably that of an oiran."
After he and Zhong Zijin finished biting their ears, they raised their eyebrows and asked, "Where is Miss Ranyan?"
A trace of unnaturalness flashed across the old bustard's face: "Ranyan is sick, I will tell her to greet the young master later, is there any girl in the building who the young master can take a fancy to?"
Mu Xinghe looked around. In fact, they came quite early. Before the officials and nobles came to enjoy the warm and fragrant nephrite in the brothel, the girls were sleepy, and the building was in chaos. From the upstairs rushing down to welcome the distinguished guests, the sound of hanging throats could be faintly heard amidst the chaotic sound of pianos in the distance.
Mu Xinghe pointed to a sleepy woman in white who was busy straightening the jade hairpin: "She will be fine."
Mu Xinghe took over the highest part of the Hongxiu Building, where there is ventilation on all sides, no windows or doors, and extremely thin white gauze hanging around, which is suitable for elegance but not for romance.
Zhong Zijin breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the environment here, wondering if it was because he could avoid witnessing human mating.Mu Xinghe only ordered the woman in white to pour wine for him, and had no intention of mating.He looked at the scenery outside the white gauze, and praised: "The scenery is indeed good, even in Beijing, the view from this building is also one of the best."
The woman in white doesn't like to laugh very much, her voice is a little hoarse, and even when receiving guests, she is a bit sleepy: "Wouldn't it be a pleasure to taste wine and enjoy the scenery? Green fruit, go to '19 Nian Xiang'."
The girl named Qingguo bowed her body and called "Yes" and went downstairs slowly.
But she wasn't going to a wine cellar.
She lowered her body and said respectfully: "The person here is the young master of Feiyun Yinzhuang. He didn't ask anything, he just said that he wanted to enjoy the scenery and flowers."
The person Qingguo faced was not the bustard either. The woman's eyebrows were like distant mountains, her hair was like a cold night, her mouth was like vermilion dan, her pupils cut water, and her thoughts were like smoke hanging between her brows. The river flower that is about to burn, dyed her with a specious color.
But her gaze was surprisingly fierce, almost destroying the beauty.
"...Forget it, whether it is or not, there is no doubt about killing it."
Mu Xinghe pushed the wine glass lightly and cleverly, and said with a smile: "Drinking is not a pleasure, how about you and I playing a game of chess? I play well, how about you have a drink?"
In fact, there is no such rule at all, so it is just listening to Mu Xinghe himself.However, this beauty really can't talk to Mu Xinghe, at the end of the round, the beauty was already drunk, the girl recognized her wink, and quietly withdrew.
Mu Xinghe watched the people close the door, his expression seemed to be a little more relaxed because he had won a game, he slumped on the chair, and shook his fingers: "Guess who did what happened to Hengwuting?"
When Mu Xinghe was flirting, Zhong Zijin kept silently holding his sword as if he didn't exist, but he reacted quickly when he heard the words: "It must not be the moon shining, killers are good at taking people's heads, but they may not be good at slaughtering people. "
"Yes... Killing a family full of people with martial arts requires organization and strength, and I am afraid it is an inestimable strength. Of course I don't have it—so I haven't been attacked when I go out today, because they haven't sorted out the relationship for the time being. Beast Fighting There is no field, and the moon shines incompletely. Chonglou Fengge is good at news from the world, strange tricks, not martial arts, so it is probably not good. The only remaining sect in the Jianghu is the Palace of Bliss. It is said that there are all vicious monsters and ghosts. "
Zhong Zijin hesitated and said, "But few people know where the Palace of Bliss is."
The Palace of Bliss is an evil sect that everyone can punish, and there are villains that are not tolerated in the world. Although it is in the capital, because of its secret location, no one can come to the door to shout for a drink.
"What's more, the Jianghu sects are not necessarily the only ones who can do it," Zhong Zijin added after thinking for a while, "You said that they secretly colluded with the government, and it's not surprising that they were backlashed."
"Well, it is conceivable that whether it is the Palace of Bliss or a certain force in the court, the power is far stronger than ordinary people, but for us, the most important thing about the current situation is not this." Mu Xinghe smiled, "It's about us today. We may see the forces of the court and the central government take action, because there are too many dead people in the capital...Last night there was such a tragic event as the family was destroyed overnight, the capital was in turmoil, and the court had to come forward."
Mu Xinghe and the others can be regarded as free people from the rivers and lakes, but there is no king in the world, and the king's power is in his hands, so there may not be no means of suppression.
"Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here." Mu Xinghe stood up, lifted the white gauze, and signaled Zhong Zijin to come.
From the Hongxiu Building, you can almost see the west of the imperial city to the outskirts of Beijing. In Mu Xinghe's vision, a bloody river poured into the alley in the distance.No, that is not a river, but a group of blood-clothed men.
The blood-clothed man caused chaos everywhere.
"Huangcheng Secretary, Zhu Yishi," Zhong Zijin had already followed. He reacted very quickly and had excellent eyesight. You said that the gambling house is not going to open, did you anticipate this?"
"Yes, it doesn't matter who killed Hengwuting. The important thing is that many days have passed, and it will soon be unbearable. People from the imperial court use the current situation to raid sects in order to make a lot of money. They also know very well that the days they can stay in the capital are just these two days," Mu Xinghe pointed to a few figures walking hurriedly with packages in the distance, "Look."
Zhong Zijin's complexion changed: "In such a situation, these people... the direction is actually going out of the city?!"
"That's right," Mu Xinghe looked at the running people, with no joy or sorrow in his eyes, just calm, "People are dying in the capital, and the disease is spreading inward. They can't trust the imperial court, and would rather go out of the city to seek a chance of life. Such people will accompany The situation is getting worse and more and more, and the court will eventually lose control of the situation. So now it is considered the peak period of their power, and for this reason, they must suppress the sects of the rivers and lakes, and kill as many as they can."
Mu Xinghe looked at the chaos in the distance, the downstairs was still singing and dancing, the calendula was throwing wildly, the young master rode by, and the building was full of red sleeves.He narrowed his eyes slightly, listening to the splendor and prosperity of the ground.
Zhong Zijin's voice interrupted his contemplation: "Those people—"
Mu Xinghe followed his line of sight. After a long silence, those people had already gone a long way. They were not in the city, but now they were slowly approaching the outer edge of the capital.
The center of the capital is infinitely prosperous, but there are only low, gray and old houses standing quietly on the outer edge, and there are no pedestrians except them.
Those people were running at first, then walked slowly, and finally fell to the ground, crawling with difficulty, like ants whose legs had been cut off.Someone noticed something was wrong and hurriedly turned around, but it was too late, and fell to the ground without any movement.
Zhong Zijin's eyebrows were drawn together, but Mu Xinghe's expression was calm: "Others said it was an epidemic, but I think it is poisonous gas. This is an isolated city, and the poisonous gas will only advance and never retreat. We can only fight in the city, and no one can escape. They...Although they may not have life themselves, they still have the consciousness of being human. This kind of death crisis is approaching. No one can restrain human instincts. Betrayal, strife, chaos, madness... will soon control this The city, all forces will fall apart."
"Since this is the case, there must be someone who is trying to make a fortune while there is still room for control. However, Zhu Yishi is not the only one in the court. He has already devoured a Megatron general. He has been targeted for a long time. There must be other high-ranking officials. They don’t want him to take advantage of the opportunity to grow stronger, so they are likely to get in the way and combine various forces, and the most likely one is to unite with the Palace of Bliss to stop Zhu Yishi."
Zhong Zijin let out a breath: "So you came here to observe the situation in the city."
Mu Xinghe suddenly turned around, took out the booklet in his arms, and smiled brightly: "Not necessarily. Everyone can hide it if they want, but what's the use, sooner or later they have to fight, if they can't accumulate My own strength is nothing more than a slow death. You know, when I do things, I always play tricks on others for a while, and I can’t do nothing forever. I don’t believe that opportunities will fall from the sky, so at this stage, we have to create opportunities. "
Mu Xinghe handed the booklet to Zhong Zijin, and Zhong Zijin reached out to take it.That was the death list compiled by the steward overnight.
Recently, there is no peace in Beijing, and people who died in a few days can write a whole book.Zhong Zijin flipped through it hastily, and muttered in his mouth: "Plague... old age and death... assassination... eh."
His "huh" stayed on a line of words, and then quickly flipped back.
The steward is a very reliable steward. What he records is not only the list of the deceased, but also the name, cause of death, age, identity, and traces before death in the city.
Some people visited Huajie and Liuxiang before their death.And when it comes to brothels in central Beijing, none can compare to Hongxiulou.
"Why do you think people go to brothels?" Mu Xinghe suddenly asked.
Zhong Zijin closed the booklet and handed it back to his friend: "Looking for fun, socializing and... inquiring about news."
His hand was already on the hilt of the sword.
Mu Xinghe smiled slightly.
Zhong Zijin is a sword idiot, and he has always devoted himself to the way of swordsmanship, but he does not know everything. It is not only because of his strength that he can practice alone without being knocked down by the wind and rain in the world.They didn't know each other back then, Zhong Zijin almost deceived him, now Zhong Zijin can also analyze the available information without relying on others.
Mu Xinghe remembered that he once had a senior brother who worried about him very much, and he could let him talk about selling himself without fear that no one would redeem him.But now Zhong Zijin has walked through thousands of rivers and mountains alone.
Mu Xinghe's thoughts drifted away for a moment, then he quickly turned back and said, "Yes, wine and sex mislead people. When the wine is full, there will always be a beautiful woman by your side, and there will always be someone who speaks the truth after drinking. Naturally, some people have a lively mind and come here to ask for news. Do you think there is any news to inquire about now? It’s just that we people want to know. But I don’t want to...they have inquired about the news, and they have no chance to use the information after they leave the Red Sleeve Building. "
"We're here, she probably knows too."
Zhong Zijin looked solemn, his fingers stroking his sword.
Mu Xinghe looked relaxed, leaning on the fence and looking into the distance, he could understand what Zhong Zijin meant, so he smiled and said, "No, she doesn't dare to attack us at this time."
Zhong Zijin was puzzled: "She has eliminated so many opponents, and the gains should be enough to give her the confidence to eradicate most of them."
"Because we didn't come to inquire about the news," Mu Xinghe explained slowly, "We are here, but if we don't inquire about the news, Da Lala will stay at the highest place to enjoy the scenery, and she will be suspicious. Two of us came, are you A swordsman, I am a young lord, no matter who it is, if you come alone, you will have someone to rely on. Especially you, holding a sharp sword, relying on me, if I am just a young lord, with such a bodyguard, the bodyguard must be extraordinary The scheming, amazing combat power, you can use the young master to attract enemies. If I am not just the young master, this place does not allow people to form alliances. After all, there will be a battle. It is too tiring to be together day and night. Only by your strength can I be willing to cooperate with you. These two people came here on purpose, she will be wary, she will not take risks here directly. Look at the places where other people died in the brochure, there is no one in the red sleeve building, so You should understand that she dare not."
Mu Xinghe's words fell, but a low laugh came from not far away.It was a woman's laughter, and because of this strange low and hoarse voice, it was a little softer, and the voice was faint, with a hint of a half-smile: "...Who said I dare not?"
Zhong Zijin drew his sword out of its sheath, pointing at the source of the voice.
The woman in white who was drunk just now sat up slowly, with a smile on her lips and a slight mist in her eyes, unable to see her true emotions clearly.
Mu Xinghe's eyes twitched.
In fact, this person just casually pointed out out of his aesthetic preference, he never thought that this person would be abnormal!
She tilted her head slightly and looked at the two with a smile. She looked sober, and the drunkenness with blushing cheeks just now seemed to be a disguise.
But such a calm demeanor made people feel extremely dangerous.
As the eyes met, Mu Xinghe's thoughts turned slightly, and he quickly calmed down.
He smiled.
"It's not you. You're not her." He slowly walked out from behind Zhong Zijin and walked in front of the woman with clear eyes and a leisurely attitude, "I have no reason to appoint you, your appearance makes you not considered a status here Extremely high person, it is impossible to find out which guest is the target. You should not appear here. In the brothel, you pretend to be a woman, or a very ordinary woman. The target is most likely to attack other brothel women, which is beneficial to you , it can only be the female spider, not me. So it's a terrible coincidence."
The woman looked at the young man opposite.She was not drunk all the time, but listened to the young master and his attendants explain the situation in detail, with clear thinking and long-term vision.He is the young master of Feiyun Yinzhuang. This status can't be said to be too good, nor can it be said to be too bad. He is said to be bad because he doesn't have much ability to protect himself, and he is easy to attract others. As far as he is concerned, it is obvious that Feiyun Yinzhuang is very good under his command.
This person has a very special temperament, always smiling, as if he doesn't care about anything, and nothing will be under his control. His voice is bright and his eyes are clear, like the morning sun, with a light that no one can restrain. of vigorous vitality.
It seemed that even if the rainstorm came, he would not bow his head.
No one can make him admit defeat, no one can defeat him.
The young master said it was terrible, but his hands were not honest, he held her chin with a fan, and smiled at her: "Ah, there is no blemish on the face, it is impossible to tell whether it is disguised or real."
She stretched out her hand and slowly opened his fan. His action did not actually contain any malice, so she was not annoyed, but instead smiled - she actually loves to laugh, anyway, since her identity has been found out, it doesn't matter how much she smiles: "How about disguise, how about true appearance?"
"It doesn't seem to be the case," the young master thought for a while, then stared at her with a smile, "If you are true, you were in the brothel from the very beginning, and if you want to do something to that woman, it is not yet the time to maximize your benefits. If you are disguised... …You have calluses on your thumb, index finger, and ring finger. You are someone who often flips through copybooks and writes with a pen. With disguise, copybooks, and powerful help, you may be a high-ranking person in Fengge Pavilion. But no matter who it is, If you fight with me now, you will only scare the snake and hurt both sides. After all, the real fat is not with me."
The woman reached out to pick up the chess piece, threw it in her hand, quickly picked it up, and threw it again. It was a very popular game among little girls.She gathered all the chess pieces in her hand, put them into the chess box, and finally looked at Mu Xinghe: "Are you planning to seek cooperation with me?"
"What?" Mu Xinghe laughed out his canine teeth, "Isn't this a threat? Either fight us here, destroy your identity, lose benefits, and possibly get injured or die, or let us help you Assassination, if it's good... How about a [-]-[-] split? There are two of us here, and you still make money."
The woman suppressed her smile, looked Mu Xinghe up and down, and sighed: "Did I not say anything just now?"
"If you don't make a sound, we will take action later, and you will lose out as well." Mu Xinghe was very innocent.
The woman stood up, stretched her waist, covered half of her face with her sleeve, and smiled softly: "Well, anyway, today is my unlucky day."
That's what she said, but her eyebrows were relaxed, as if she had figured out something and succeeded in something, very happy.
The hands that were dyed with smoke were dyed with Kodan, and the hands were white and soft as if they had no bones.
But she didn't like it.
In the past, her hands were well-jointed, thin and powerful, and she had held spells and controlled magic weapons.She didn't know why the hell she wanted to play the brothel girl, but she finally accepted this role, lowered her head to pour wine for the man, and talked softly about Beijing and China's affairs.
Fortunately, most of the men who can talk to her are not interested in her appearance, what they are interested in is the big shots in the capital and their lives.
Of course, she was also very interested in the men who would bring these things up to her, offering good wine, lighting incense, and sending them away.
When necessary, follow them from a distance, and kill them with a spell.
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the girl opened the door. A woman was holding rouge with a smile, and looked at her attentively.
This time the action was purely Mu Xinghe hugging his thighs to pick people's heads.
The woman is a neat person, when the time comes, she calls Mu Xinghe over without any nonsense.Compared to Mu Xinghe, she is too familiar with this place, and she also has internal support in the Red Sleeve Tower, and she has attracted the smoke with a little trick.Ran Yan has never seen through that her sister is also an opponent, so she easily exposed her flaws.But the power of the smoke is so strong that it cannot be solved by a single combination.
Fortunately, the woman also has the power to devour many people, and together with the assistance of Mu Xinghe and Zhong Zijin, the oiran finally passed away, leaving behind a lot of medicine and two or three magic weapons.
The woman contributed even more. She said that she took all the magic weapons and shared the rest of the medicine equally.It was the first time for Mu Xinghe to see so many elixirs, and his eyes were straight. He was very happy and taught Zhong Zijin: "So, the most profitable thing in the world is to reap the benefits of the fisherman." Mu Xinghe and Zhong Zijin shared The spoils of war, the woman just looked at it with a smile, and didn't even have any opinion.
She had achieved her goal, so she didn't plan to stay in Hongxiu Building any longer, so she said goodbye and left soon.At the end, she suddenly asked: "There are many friends and many paths, why don't you tell the little girl the names of the two heroes?"
"Okay," Mu Xinghe said simply, "My name is Gao Yang, and his name is Li Ziwei."
The woman was still looking at Mu Xinghe, suddenly smiled, and turned around: "You can call me Jiuque."
Jiuque walked briskly and left Hongxiulou. This time she pretended to be a girl in Hongxiulou, sending love poems to old customers for the girl, but she didn't plan to come back after going, and it was difficult for others to find her.
Except those two people just now.
She is indeed from Chonglou Fengge.
Thinking of Chonglou Fengge, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her eyes were filled with genuine smiles—it feels pleasant to have power in hand, even if this power can't last for a few more days.
"Cunning man, all he left behind is a false name," she didn't care much about it, "but... the young master and the swordsman can take the opportunity to solve it earlier. Next, the Zhuyi envoy and the left minister will both lose. Let's sneak into the imperial city to see who the real person is, these days... are really interesting."
The woman habitually raised her sleeves and smiled.
Mu Xinghe swallowed the medicine, feeling that the power was coming in a steady stream.He felt that if he wanted to, he could use the Wind Raging Blue Sky Art here, and the aura of heaven and earth returned to his grasp.
He looked down at the figure that briskly disappeared from his field of vision below, and shook his head: "Woman, woman, you are clearly in a particularly good mood, and you still have to act as if you have suffered a disadvantage."
Zhong Zijinxin waved the sword to feel the feeling, and asked in surprise, "Why?"
The sun was setting slowly, and the sky was blue and blue.
"She was not threatened by me, do you know why she made a deal with us?" Mu Xinghe sighed, "It may be strange for a girl from a brothel to disappear, but as long as the young master has come and the oiran is gone, The biggest suspect is not the brothel woman, but the young master, so that others will find out that something is wrong, and after tracing it back, we killed the oiran, and all her spoils are with me, so it is naturally aimed at me. Our life will not be comfortable, she After taking the spoils, not only will you be free on the sidelines, but you may even prepare a way to kill me..."
Mu Xinghe looked into the distance, his cheeks were bathed in the sunset, his eyes seemed to be lit by the setting sun: "But it doesn't matter, this is the result I want. Once we gain power, we have to find opportunities to expose ourselves, and she just helps Do me a favor."
Mu Xinghe looked at the capital city in the sunset, the bloody river was in chaos everywhere, and there was still no sign of being stopped.
The flower street downstairs became more and more lively. Mu Xinghe yawned and planned to leave the murder scene as soon as possible, but he saw someone in white clothes walking slowly past downstairs.
Behind him is a mountain of soldiers in armor, and the ground trembles every time he steps.
The woman downstairs screamed and threw a handkerchief: "Yeah - Xiang Zuo riding a horse is also very powerful -"
Sensing the gaze, the man slowly raised his head, his eyes were cold and calm, deceiving Shuang Saixue's stern face.
The author has something to say:
I actually updated, and updated so much, it's really touching!
