twilight endless

Standing at the entrance of Huajie, Rui'er felt a headache, and scolded several captains of the Seven Killing Army from head to toe.

"Why do strange people in Jianghu have to be in Huajie? Are those bastards playing with me?" Rui'er slandered but couldn't bear to turn around. A few old fritters were much clearer than them, and with a mentality that they could only believe what they had or not, Rui'er walked into Huajie.

Shilihua Street is full of fat fragrance, row upon row of large and small brothels, red lights hang high in front of every house, and there are clusters of flowers, which are extremely prosperous and extravagant.There were also one or two well-dressed women who stood by the door or leaned against the window lattice, and when Rui'er inadvertently met their eyes, they immediately returned a charming smile.Rui'er recited the "Yizhong Heart Sutra" over and over again in her heart, resisting the sound of strings filling her ears, and scanned the brothel she was looking for with her peripheral vision.Suddenly something floated down from the sky, Rui'er raised his sword to catch it, only to find that it was a woman's silk handkerchief.

"Lang Jun is very skilled." A charming voice came from above.

Rui'er looked over, and there was a woman in red leaning against the window on the second floor of a brothel, with her arm sticking out of the window, revealing half of her jade arm and the gold bracelet on her wrist as if inadvertently.

The woman lowered her head and met Rui'er's eyes, and then blushed first, and said shyly: "Lang Jun is so handsome."

"Your?" Rui'er ignored the woman's praise, raised her sword slightly, and asked in a cold voice.

"Yes." The woman still asked shyly, "I accidentally dropped it, can you help me pick it up?"

"Not good." Rui'er shook the silk handkerchief to the ground in a very puzzled manner, and continued to walk forward, but in his heart he greeted the school captains again.

Unexpectedly, along the way, more women suddenly appeared, their eyes were glued to Rui'er, and there were occasional coquettish smiles and joking words.Rui'er couldn't bear the disturbance, and slandered, "Don't these people have any customers to serve? I think this Flower Street is very busy with people coming and going, why are they all so idle?" and walked to the deepest part of Flower Street.

The surroundings suddenly became clean.Only then did Rui'er realize that the scenery here is different from just now. It is full of lush bamboo and flowing water, simple and elegant, and there are no women smiling coquettishly by the door and window. The big character—Yu Taoguan, is exactly the place where the captain of the Qisha Army told Ruier to come.

"Fish pottery house? Why does it sound like a wine shop?" Rui'er complained but was suddenly stunned, wishing to rush into the military office now and chop up those school captains, "I said why there are no women, then A few bastards actually let me come to the men's house! Damn it, it's not as good as a brothel!"

The boy at the door looked at Rui'er's handsome but full of murderous face, hesitated for a long time before stepping forward and asked cautiously: "Look at your face, is this your first time here? Then let the boy guide you, okay?"

Rui'er didn't speak, and followed the boy into the Yutao Museum with a dark face.The interior of the hall maintained the same style as the entrance, with Si Le humming in a low voice, seemingly non-existent, and occasionally one or two attendants passed by, but Rui'er was not interested in looking at it, so he just stood in the hall with a cold face, His hand was still tightly pressed against the hilt of the saber.

A boy who looked fifteen or sixteen years old came over and bowed to salute, and asked softly: "Is the gentleman here to taste tea or wine? Do you have any familiar companions? If so, Ah Wen will call him."

"No!" Rui'er said coldly to the boy named Ah Wen, "I'm here to find someone."

"Looking for someone?" Ah Wen looked Rui'er up and down, and asked with a smile, "Who is Mr. Lang looking for?"

"Mr. Seven Strings."

"Lang Jun wants to find Mr. Qixian?" Arwen said apologetically, "That's unfortunate, he's not in the museum today."

"Then when will he be here?"

Arwen shook his head and gave an inexplicable answer: "I don't know."

"I don't know?" Rui'er became angry, "Do I have to wait for him here every day?"

"Why does Mr. Lang have to find Mr. Qixian?" Ah Wen was puzzled, "The rest of us here are also very good."

"Not interested." Rui'er said coldly, "I have something to do with Mr. Qixian."

Ah Wen burst into laughter, and asked with something in his words: "What else can you do here?"

Rui'er's face turned darker, and she didn't want to argue with Ah Wen. Since Lord Qixian was not there, she really didn't want to stay for a moment, and immediately turned around and went out without saying a word.

After leaving the gate, she had to go back the same way, and Rui'er had to continue to recite the "Yizhong Heart Sutra" silently in her heart to endure the scrutinizing eyes of her surroundings.He was slandering, "What are you looking at me for?" But seeing a silk handkerchief floating in front of her eyes, Rui'er was already prepared, caught it with her sword, looked at the owner of the silk handkerchief, and said impatiently: " why is it you again?"

The woman in red on the second floor of the brothel was already standing at the gate of the brothel. Seeing Rui Er's question, she said with a coquettish smile, "My family is very happy to see that Mr. Lang is handsome. I can't help but want to talk to Mr. Lang." You are close, sir, don't be so fierce." As he spoke, he walked over swayingly, and stretched out his hand to pull Rui'er's hand.

Rui'er hurriedly took a step back, clenched the hand holding the sword hilt, and said angrily: "Get out!"

"Oh!" The woman in red was not annoyed or frightened at all, and she still wanted to post it.

"He told you to go away, why don't you know what's going on?"

A person suddenly appeared from the side, standing between Rui'er and the woman in red, Rui'er was shocked when he saw it, it turned out to be Su Cheng!

"Tsk!" The woman in red let out a slight distaste, but she soon smiled coquettishly again, this time to Su Sheng, "This gentleman is handsome, and I like it too, do you want to come and play together?" ?”

"Little goblin, don't do this with me, go away." Su Cheng smiled and pushed the woman in red away with his sword. Seeing that the woman in red wanted to say something, Su Cheng persuaded again, "Don't waste your time, he You came out of the Fish Pottery House just now, so you have to be sensible." After speaking, he gave the woman in red a disgusted look, and walked out of Huajie with Ruier's shoulder strap.

"Master Su." Rui'er couldn't help the surprise in his heart, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Come and play." Su Cheng said two words bluntly, before Rui'er digested his answer, he asked, "What are you doing here again?"

Ruier's mind was full of "how can a spiritual master come to Huajie if he is a servant of the gods?" Suddenly asked by Su Cheng, he subconsciously followed up and answered "Looking for someone". , looking at Su Sheng anxiously.

Su Cheng almost guessed his thoughts from the ever-changing expression on Rui Er's face, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Did you go to the Yutao Museum to find Mr. Qixian?" Rui Er didn't answer, but Su Sheng never answered. Rui'er's slightly widened eyes knew that she was right, and asked again, "Did someone in the Seven Killing Army tell you that if a half-demon has any secrets, he can find Mr. Qixian?"

"Uh... Chief Master Su..." Rui'er was completely speechless, "How do you know?"

"I've heard such rumors before." Su Cheng patted Rui'er on the shoulder and said sincerely, "But I advise you, if you can, don't look for it."

"Why?" Rui'er was puzzled, originally suspected that the captains of the Seven Killing Army were playing tricks on her, but now she was even more skeptical after hearing what Su Sheng said, and quickly asked, "Is there a trap here?"

"There are no traps, but Mr. Qixian never works for nothing. I'm afraid you won't be able to afford his price."

"This..." Rui'er thought about it and hinted to Su Cheng, "The half-demon Chang Sui cannot act without authorization, so... I am not short of money."

"However, Qi Xianjun is so expensive..." Su Cheng sighed, "He never takes money."

Ruier understood.In the world, the things that can be done with money are the easiest, but the things that don't cost money are the hardest.Since Mr. Qixian doesn't charge money, it means that he has to exchange things for things, news for news, rolling around, and there will indeed be a price that Rui'er can't afford.What's more, Zhou Yu told Rui'er not to startle the snake, if such a deal, Rui'er can't guarantee that it will be foolproof.Thinking of this, Rui'er also sighed, and couldn't help but feel very discouraged. Unexpectedly, the clue that he just had was probably broken again.

"Although I don't know what you want to ask Mr. Qixian." Seeing Rui'er's discouraged look, Su Cheng couldn't help persuading him, "But often when people search for the truth of a matter, they always focus on the big and let go of the small, and like to hold on to the small things." The weirdest places, but you can’t see the most ordinary ones. You might as well start from the subtleties and look for those inconspicuous places, maybe you will get something.”

After listening to Su Sheng's words, Rui'er felt that it made sense, and hurriedly bowed to Su Sheng: "Thank you, Master Su, for your teaching."

"This is not Qianluozhuang, there is no need to do that." Su Sheng helped Rui'er up, and said with a smile, "If nothing else, I'm going back to the World Spirit Hall."

"Send off Chief Master Su." Rui'er insisted on filling the ceremony, "Rui'er is going back to return."

The two broke up at the intersection, and no one noticed that a carriage was approaching from a distance.

"Huh?" Twilight sat on the side of the carriage, looked at Huajiekou in the distance, and said uncertainly, "I seem to see Rui'er."

"What? People from Prince Shen's Mansion are here to visit Flower Street?" Zhou Ji heard Twilight say in the car, snorted coldly, and said contemptuously, "What a good tutor."

"Can't people from the palace come to visit Flower Street?" Twilight asked puzzled, "I remember it wasn't written in "Zhou You Lv"."

"Impossible!" Zhou said angrily, "I don't care if "Zhou Youlu" is written or not, anyway, people from Prince Xun's residence are not allowed to go!"

"Then..." Twilight was even more puzzled, "What is Your Highness here for?"

"Ah, you are really good at irritating people! If you don't pay attention, you can choke him to death!" Zhou Yu scolded Twilight in his heart, but said righteously, "This king is here to deal with it!" It's business!" After finishing speaking, he glared at Mu Hui, "Let me be smarter later, understand?"

"Understood!" Twilight nodded fiercely, but asked uncertainly, "His Royal Highness, is the words of Miss Cui credible?"

"My mother won't lie to me." Zhou Yu said firmly, "The harem is a place that cannibalize people without spit out their bones. There are thousands of ways to obliterate a person silently, and there must be thousands of people who want to survive." Therefore, it is definitely not wrong to ask my grandmother who has been in the palace all her life on thin ice about this kind of thing."

Twilight nodded half-understood, looked at the brothels outside the car, and suddenly asked: "Your Highness, is this the one?"

Zhou Ji raised his eyes and glanced at the three characters "Yutaoguan", and said, "Exactly."

The author has something to say:

I wish you all a Happy New Year!
