Lianhua Manlou

The ship headed north all the way, and finally arrived at the shore in the early hours of the morning.

It was still early outside, with only a faint ray of sunshine, which slightly reflected a dim light in a bedroom in the cabin.Inside the smoky green double-embroidered turtle-back Ruyi curtain tent, two slender and majestic men slept side by side on the bed, their breathing was long and clear, almost inaudible.

Ye Gucheng first woke up from a deep sleep. The room was still filled with the strong smell of alcohol from last night. He narrowed his dark eyes slightly, maintained a lying posture, and his eyes fell on Gong Jiu's face.The corners of the man's eyes were still slightly red, even though he was in a deep sleep, his brows were still deeply furrowed, and there was no trace of happiness.

Ye Gucheng sighed in his heart, couldn't help raising his hand to trace his eyebrows, although the movement was quite slow, this person was still awake.

"It's here?" Gong Jiu opened his eyes, his eyes were extremely clear and he couldn't see the slightest sign of hangover, but he didn't get up, but leaned towards Ye Gucheng's side, "It's still early, why don't you sleep more?"

Ye Gucheng smiled faintly, paused slightly for Gong Jiu's hands, and his eyes showed a trace of coldness: "Ah Jiu, since we have a visitor, we can't neglect it."

Only one person outside the house laughed and said: "The mountain residence is lonely, there are few residents, please don't blame City Lord Ye for the lack of politeness."

Gong Jiu sat up slowly, her long eyebrows slanted into her temples, her expression became colder and she said: "One day I will kill you, just because you really don't know how to wink."

The man smiled even more happily, "If you can really kill me, you have finally lived up to my ten years of hard work. You know, your useless thinking really makes me very troubled."

Ye Gucheng raised his eyebrows lightly when he heard the words, and an unknown glint flashed in his eyes.

There is a copper incense burner in the middle of the round table, which is curling up and emitting light smoke, and there are three cups of hot tea beside it.Ye Gucheng unabashedly looked at the seemingly ordinary little old man on the opposite side, with a round face, half bald on the top of his head, and a very kind smile on his face. If it weren't for the excellent quality of the clothes he was wearing, he would look like Is a gardener.

Returning to the basics, even if you are as calm as Ye Gucheng, you will be shocked. This kind of state can be encountered but not sought after. It is not just a chance.

Seemingly aware of his gaze, the little old man said very politely: "Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, has admired his name for a long time, and seeing him today is really extraordinary. The lord of the city came from afar. Saying long admiration actually doesn't even mean a little long admiration.Ye Gucheng is famous all over the world and has been famous for a long time, but in his mouth, he is no different from Zhang San Li Si, a cat or a dog. This is something Ye Gucheng has never met before, but he takes it for granted, people are born to bow their heads to the strong, And the little old man is powerful enough to be admired.

Ye Gucheng said: "The master is very polite, and he hasn't asked his honor and name, isn't it against the way of being a guest?"

The little old man said: "My surname is Wu, and my name is Wu Ming. My mouth is Wu Tian, ​​and the sun and the moon are bright." Ming, not even a little bit."

He laughed, but Ye Gucheng didn't smile.If a person has never had great ambitions, why bother to emphasize it?He looked at Gong Jiu, Gong Jiu just lowered his head, holding a teacup, turning a deaf ear like an old monk in meditation, not even looking at him.Ye Gucheng's expression was indifferent, but he thought it was a little funny, Gong Jiu clearly wanted to leave the little old man alone.

This is obviously an extremely embarrassing situation, Jing.Surprisingly quiet.

After a long time, the little old man sighed, with a slight exclamation on his face: "If it was 50 years ago, I would have cursed and hated you so much that you don't give me face. It is understandable for young people to be impulsive and passionate. Going forward In the past 20 years, not only will I not bear any grudges against you, but I will think that you are very courageous and good helpers worth making friends with."

Gong Jiu smiled: "What about now?"

"Now..." The little old man shook his head inexplicably sadly: "As I get older, my mind is getting smaller and smaller, and people are getting more and more stingy. I know that you are doing it on purpose, but you are still half dead with anger."

Ye Gucheng suddenly understood that the hero's twilight is probably the most unwilling thing for the little old man. He still has many ambitions to achieve hegemony, but he is old.Gong Jiu may have been his most preferred successor, but now, he gradually lost control and became less perfect. He was worried and excited at the same time, so he hesitated, and couldn't pick a more suitable one. It is also the capital of Gong Jiu.

Gong Jiu laughed: "If this can drive you to death, then it would be the best thing."

The little old man said: "It's a pity, I don't want to die yet. If you really become something, who can inherit my mantle? Every time I think of this, I will jump out even if I am lying in the coffin."

Gong Jiudao: "The heir you want should not only have a clean background, be smart and witty, but also be able to endure loneliness and pain. The most important thing is to have ambition but never indulge in pleasure."

The little old man said: "That's right, but it's a pity that out of a million such people, we can't pick one."

Ye Gucheng's expression changed, and a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, he said lightly: "Unfortunately, Ye Gucheng really knows such a person."

Gong Jiu looked at him in surprise, understood, and smiled happily, even with a bit of schadenfreude, "Not bad, he is the perfect candidate."

The little old man's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "Who is he?"

Gong Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and lazily said: "If you say it so empty-handed, wouldn't you look down on him?"

The little old man smiled and said, "How are you doing?"

"What do you think?" Gong Jiu asked back.

The little old man said: "If he is really as you said, he is a talent that can be created, then everything on Wuming Island is at your disposal until you settle down."

Gong Jiu looked wild, his eyes were as bright as cold stars, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked: "Deal!"

The little old man laughed too.

Gong Jiu said meaningfully: "You don't need to worry, I guarantee that he will be delivered to you in a few days. Whether you can pull him away at that time is up to you. You only need to meet him once, Never forget that not only did he have two pairs of eyes and ears and three hands. He also had four eyebrows."

The little old man smiled and said: "Then he is really a weirdo." But there was a look of expectation on his face.

Gong Jiu and Ye Gucheng looked at each other and smiled, both very satisfied.

The moonlight was in the sky, and the evening wind slowly blew in, filling the room with a strong fragrance of flowers.

When Huamanlou woke up, she almost mistakenly thought that she was still staying in the small building, and slowly sat up, but the bed was shaking slightly, and she was actually on a boat!There are more than a dozen exotic flowers and plants in sight, which are blooming delicately and charmingly, and the flower racks are arranged in a patchwork order, facing his bed.

At the head of the bed is a travel note he read frequently recently, which has been marked with a bookmark thoughtfully clipped by the person, obviously everything about his daily life could not be more clear.Hua Manlou's eyes fell on the bookmark. The ivory was carved into thin bamboo joints. On it was a long and thin character "Si" written by Youlong. out.

Hua Manlou's eyes moved, he stared for a long time without saying a word, and touched slightly with his fingertips, tapping it lightly.

"Da da da" the knock on the door was neither light nor heavy, as if every knock had been measured, full of a certain rhythm.

Hua Manlou was slightly taken aback, and said flatly, "Please come in."

The door was pushed open with a "squeak", and a graceful and peerless beauty walked in from outside the room.Although Huamanlou has seen many beauties in his life, compared with this girl, those beauties will all turn into ugly monsters. Don't dare to take a second look.

The beauty covered her mouth with a bamboo basket and smiled: "Young man sleeps well? You look very good."

"Miss, you are laughing." Hua Manlou smiled lightly, "Where is this boat going? Where is Miss Shangguan? Could you please come and see me?"

The beauty's eyes were rippling, with anger and resentment, and said softly: "You really like that kind of yellow-haired girl? Why do you turn a blind eye to me and still think about her?"

Hua Manlou said helplessly: "It's not that Hua is obsessed with Miss Shangguan, it's just that since Hua is Miss Shangguan's guest, she can't leave her master aside. What's more, there are some questions that Miss Shangguan needs to answer."

The beauty smiled sweetly, and said sweetly: "But really?"

Hua Manlou sighed, "Hua never tells a lie."

The beauty sneered: "I think this sentence is the biggest lie in the world! You really never lied? Until now? At this moment?"

Hua Manlou's smile disappeared completely, he tightly pressed his lips together, stared straight at her, and seemed to have a thousand words to say slowly through those bright eyes.

After a long time, a charming smile appeared on the corner of the beauty's mouth, and she said softly, "Young man, are you still young?"

Qingqing, I might as well teach you one thing, the more beautiful a woman is, the more vicious her heart is, while the ugly one has a better conscience.And some men are no match for ten women when they deceive others, and the first one he deceives must be himself, if he can't even deceive himself, how can he deceive others?How can others believe it? "

She touched his chest with her slender hands like bamboo shoots, and sneered: "As for whether the playboy is really honest or pretending to be honest, only you can know. ** is the greatest enemy of man. Do you dare to admit it? "

Hua Manlou trembled, and said with difficulty: "Admit... what?"

The beauty giggled, flew lightly into his arms, tightly wrapped around his body, rubbed against him, and breathed into his ear like Lan: "Admit...you, too... Admit it, you're a coward!"

Hua Manlou hissed, "Do you have to force me like this?"

The beauty raised her head and stared at him deeply: "I forced you? Why didn't you force me? Hua Man Lou, do you dare to call my name?"

Hua Manlou clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles had already turned white and his veins were exposed.

The beauty snorted coldly, her eyes were full of sarcasm, and she said indifferently: "Huamanlou, I look down on you." Putting the bamboo basket on the table, the beauty left without looking back.

Hua Manlou lay down in a daze, staring blankly at the cabin roof for a long time, then slowly closed his eyes and firmly held the travel book in his hands.

The bead curtain was lightly rolled, with light blue tassels hanging from the left and right. On the bed, the half-covered gauze curtain made the atmosphere even more ambiguous, and there was a strange sound.It was a moaning panting sound, like a dying beast struggling in pain.Two figures intertwined and blurred on the gauze curtain.

Gong Jiu's eyes were red, her hair was disheveled, her face was pale, and she was struggling and rolling on the bed half naked.His hands were tied to the head of the bed by Ye Gucheng, and he tied them tightly with the strongest leather whip.

Ye Gucheng hugged Gong Jiu tightly, and Gong Jiu was also looking at him with begging and pleading eyes. "Please, Ye, quick... help me! Hit me, hit me hard!"

Ye Gucheng's heart trembled, and there seemed to be ice in his eyes that could not be melted. He buried Gong Jiu's shoulder and sighed silently, and said softly: "Okay, I will help you, I will help you... Ah Jiu..."

The bare chests have long been pressed together, the same flat and strong waist and abdomen are also pressed together, and the same long and tough bodies are overlapped.On Ye Gucheng's usual cold and hard face, the expression at this time is somewhat unclear and gloomy, with raised eyebrows and dim eyes.

This is not a hearty, intimate affair, but torture.It was for Gong Jiu, and even more for Ye Gucheng.

Now, the leather whip in Gong Jiu's hand has long been untied.

But he was still lying limply on the bed, not wanting to move.His skin is still smooth, white and delicate like jade, without leaving the slightest trace of madness just now.Then, he shook Ye Gucheng's hand, lowered his head, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry."

Ye Gucheng didn't answer him quickly, he didn't know how to answer this simple sentence?Why did he accept Gong Jiu's apology?Because Gong Jiu is sick?Because the pain in Gong Jiu's heart cannot be vented?Because of his disgusting eccentricities?Gong Jiu would always say these three words to him after he fell ill, and he became at a loss and even felt guilty from taking it for granted at the beginning.

After not getting an answer for a long time, Gong Jiu was a little uneasy, and said bluntly: "What are you thinking?"

Ye Gucheng said: "I just can't think of why you would do such a thing?"

Gong Jiu's expression changed in an instant, and he faintly became mad again and said sharply: "You despise me?"

Ye Gucheng's heart trembled, he stretched out his arms to embrace him, and said in a low voice, "Ah Jiu, I like you."

Gong Jiu was slightly startled, slowly raised the corners of his mouth, said softly "um", and closed his eyes wearily.Ye Gucheng was lying beside him, but his heart was still restless.

In the eighth year of Yuanshuo, the emperor died and had no sons. Only 12 kings, Uncle Yu, are present.

The emperor discussed in front of his bed and stayed for five days, so he entrusted the King of Dingbei to inherit it, and Zhao princes and kings came to Beijing to pay homage.King Qin, King Zhao, King Wei, King Jiaoxi, and King Jinan wanted to establish King Qin as emperor in response to Jiaozhao, and raised 20 troops.

-

Gong Jiu unfolded the letter paper, took a look at it, and slowly raised the corners of her mouth, her eyes were bright with unspeakable excitement.Ye Gucheng took the letter from his hand, was stunned, then smiled faintly, and pressed it on Gong Jiu's shoulder.
