Volume 1: The World of Dreams Chapter 22: The Law of the Jungle
The infinite glow of the sunset, spreading from the sky to the bottom of the lake, the golden glow shrouded in the smoke willow pavilion, the beauty of the illusion is better than the nine heavens Qiongyu.
Surrounded by silk music, Tingting dancing lingeringly, and on the colorful and gorgeous lookout platform, the scenes are fascinating.
It is said that it is a lookout, but it is better to say that it is a soul hooking boat, docked on the wooden shore of the lake, attracting countless young masters and sons to forget to return.
"Brother Fan, this way. ”
At the bustling bridgehead, a handsome jade boy walked over from the crowd, looked at Fan Xian and waved.
Fan Xian stepped forward to greet him, saying that the brothers and sisters introduced each other, and Chen Mu learned that this person was Li Hongcheng, the only son of Li Zhi, the prince of leisure.
Li Hongcheng is the middleman, and he came to invite Fan Xian for the second prince. Fan Xian had already known this, and hesitated without a trace, and led everyone to the VIP room.
The second prince is a very profligate magnate, but he knows how to measure and know how to do it. Seeing Chen Mu and a large group of people coming in, he was slightly shocked and asked everyone to sit casually.
The second prince's attention was all on Fan Xian, and his language was full of temptation. Soon, Xianju Toupai came to the stage with a half-hug pipa, and the full house chanted to interrupt everyone's private conversation.
"It is worthy of being the top brand of the Drunken Immortal Residence, but it is quite beautiful. ”
Seeing Si Lili appear, the happiest person was Fan Xian, who was excited and a little worried at the same time: In this increasingly unknown world, will those beauties still belong to him?
He set a goal for himself, not only to marry Lord Chen and Sisi, but also to sweep the world in one go. Among them, the most unmissable is Teng Zijin's widow.
Seeing Fan Xian's appearance, there was disappointment in the eyes of the second prince: if the other party was the target of this trip, it was impossible to be confused by hue.
Then, he comforted himself: After many years in the mortal world, it is possible for dream interpreters to be tempted.
"Lord Xiao Fan is interested?"
"The ownerless flower of the famous capital, it doesn't hurt to appreciate it. ”
"Haha, this is easy, as long as you answer the three questions of the Lili girl, you can kiss Fangze. ”
Fan Xian smiled and didn't answer, in his impression, the plot didn't seem to develop like this.
In the corner, Fan Xiaomei also told Li Luo the story of Si Lili, which was a little different from what Chen Mu had heard before.
Si Lili did not get married, because on the eve of marriage, her fiancé Chen Mu went on the expedition. There was no news after three years of fighting, and when she waited for her liver and intestines to be broken, she heard bad news from her fiancé's comrades-in-arms. She didn't believe that her fiancé was martyred, and dreamed that the other party was rescued by a caravan. From the north to find here, just to find each other.
"I hope it was deliberately made up by Drunken Immortal Ju, otherwise she would be too pitiful. ”
Fan Xiaomei sighed sympathetically, but Li Luo did not answer.
At the end of the song, most of the young masters dressed as literati were still pretending to close their eyes and groan. The celebrant was unambiguous, and his almost pleading voice spread throughout the painting boat.
"The slave's question is still the previous three, is anyone willing to answer it?"
As soon as the words fell, someone in the crowd had already walked out.
"Under Chen Mu, thank you for the affection of Miss Lili, I didn't expect things to turn out like this. Whatever you ask, I'll make it up to you. This time, I came to take you home. ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience scolded hypocrisy. In the box, the second prince casually glanced at Fan Xian's expression, but he didn't see anything, which made him even more suspicious.
She didn't believe it right away, and thanked her and asked the other party to answer her question.
"My fiancé has three of his best comrades-in-arms, what are their names?"
"You mean Chen Hao, Lin Kun and Liang Bo?"
They were scolding and talking nonsense again, but suddenly their voices stopped abruptly, and they all had a bad premonition, because Miss Salese actually smiled.
Chen Mu cast his eyes when he heard this, this is the name of his three roommates. But in addition to themselves, Wang Nian and his gang are also likely to know, who will the other party be?
Fan Xian secretly said in his heart that it was not good, he could not answer this kind of question: Could it be that this Si Lili really has a fiancé?
The second prince's side is the most calm, because this person was arranged by them. Just peeked at Fan Xian's reaction, but he still couldn't be sure.
"Second question, my fiancé has a personal maid, and I heard that the maid is as beautiful as the fairy in his dreams, do you know?"
When the words fell, everyone looked at "Chen Mu" nervously, praying that he would not answer.
It seems that it was affected by the will of all beings, and the person who came really stayed in place and became anxious. At this moment, there was another voice in the crowd.
"The maid you are talking about can't be Jiangnan, right?"
At this moment, many people's expressions changed abruptly. Chen Mu and the others, the second prince, Fan Xian, and many people in the hall all looked at a handsome young man in the corner. So much so that the equally handsome companions around him were directly ignored.
"Third question, who do you think of me as you?"
"Miss Ceremony"
Fan Xian got up suddenly, he knew that if he didn't take the initiative, he wouldn't have a chance: "You are a living person, with an independent personality and a noble soul that is not inferior to anyone. Your excellence determines that you cannot be anyone's vassal. In order to find answers that will satisfy you, I know that many people have called on resources that are difficult for ordinary people to understand to inquire about your background. I don't want a beautiful girl like you to be deceived, I don't know if the so-called Chen Mu is worth your effort, but I can tell you that your Chen Mu is up to you to decide who it is. ”
"Yes, your question has never changed, and those who are interested have already found the answer. ”
Although he felt that Fan Xian's words were ridiculous, the men in the audience responded one after another: if they didn't stop it, Miss Si Lili would be the first to go.
Si Lili looked at the upstairs box, and everyone thought it was Fan Xian, but the second prince gave her next step with a look.
"What Childe said is reasonable, I don't know if I can go to the slave's place to settle down?"
Fan Xian's tense heart finally let go, although the process was a little tortuous, but the ending was quite right.
"Little Fan, congratulations, a few words touched the hearts of the beauties. ”
"Now that you have come to the Drunken Immortal Residence, of course you have to have a good time, everyone, have fun. ”
"Brother, do you really want to go?"
"I have questions that need to be answered, you and Brother Teng wait for a while, and I'll be back right away. ”
Fan Xian couldn't hide his excitement and said goodbye, Chen Mu and the two couldn't continue to stay, so they hugged and quit the box, but Fan Xiaomei was warmly left by Li Hongcheng.
"What do you think?"
Leaving the box, Li Luo immediately asked. Si Lili who asked the question, and the person who answered the first two questions, must be Chen Mu's acquaintance.
"How a person's appearance changes, but his nature is difficult to hide. I couldn't see who the celebrant and the impostor were, but I felt familiar with the one in the corner. ”
"Okay, let's go find him. ”
"There's a fire!"
Before the two of them had finished descending the stairs, there was a sudden noise in the hall. After a shout, all the boxes rushed out of the figures, causing instant chaos in the audience.
"Split up, you go and bring Fan Xiaomei with you, I'll go find someone, see you at the parking place." ”
The change came too suddenly, and both of them vaguely felt that something was wrong. Hearing Chen Mu's suggestion, Li Luodao said to take care and return upstairs.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way for Young Master Ben. ”
"Who dares to squeeze, believe it or not, I will destroy you all over the door?"
......
For a moment, the whole hall was extremely chaotic, shouting and invective, and the unlucky fell to the ground and could not get up again.
Seeing the situation in the hall, Chen Mu's heart sank, and he hurriedly drilled into the corner before. Estimating the distance, he suddenly sensed a killing force approaching.
"Ahh
There were people in the hall shouting, and the scene became even more chaotic. Chen Mu was anxious and used force to squeeze out the crowd.
"Who is Xiaoxiao, who dares to assassinate?"
There are still a few human walls, and the cold cheers from the corners come from the corners. Chen Mu had already seen that a man dressed as a showman was holding a fan sword and attacking two thin scholars.
In the face of blocking, the killer did not hesitate at all, and immediately attacked with more violent moves. With just one move, he knocked the opponent flying, and his body was chiseled through the plank and fell into the river.
With a successful blow, Xiucai took advantage of the situation to pursue, and Zheng Zheng fanned his sword and attacked straight to the life and death point of the book.
"I'm Lord Chen, do you dare?"
The scholar's words shocked the killer a lot, but it couldn't stop his murderous intent. What saved the scholar was a sudden big hand.
"Whose person are you?"
At the critical moment, it was Chen Mu who choked the murderer's neck with one hand, and he had reason to believe that the other party was Wang Nian's person.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is, who are you?"
"Where did you come from, look at the fight. ”
Seeing that the murderer was restrained, the lord of Chenjun picked up the wine jug on the table and smashed it down, and in the clattering sound, the porcelain piece was inserted into the murderer's face.
Chen Mu was about to scold, when he suddenly noticed that the murderer's face turned black, and when he looked out, his vitality had been cut off, and he didn't even have the possibility of analyzing his memory.
"I know he has a poison sac in his mouth. ”
Chen Mu let go of the murderer and looked at Lord Chen, his appearance was pure, his figure was a little thin, but his eyes were full of familiar feelings.
"Jiangnan?"
Chen Mu asked tentatively, and when Lord Chen heard this, his face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Are you the boss?"
"Don't talk, get out of here first. ”
"Boss, it's really you! Do you know that people are looking for you so hard. ”
It's been long enough, almost ten years. In great excitement, Jiang Nan rushed directly into Chen Mu's arms and hugged each other tightly, like a child who came home after being separated from his parents.
"It's not good to stay here, come with me. ”
Chen Mu forcibly pulled the girl away and pulled her into the crowd.
"Lin'er, boss, help me save Lin'er, she's my best friend. ”
Chen Mu remembered who Lin'er was, so he took advantage of the chaos to break through the plank, and just happened to see a woman who had fallen into the water climb onto the boat. Jiang Nan was shocked and hurriedly pulled up.
The fire burned from the stern of the ship, but the chaos was mostly human-driven. Fan Xian was very depressed, others would only be disturbed when they were at the door, but he didn't even enter the door, and when he saw the fire coming, he didn't care about Si Lili and hurriedly ran back.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law, where's my little sister?"
Encountering Li Luo near the exit in the living room, Fan Xian asked anxiously, he suspected that this was all a ploy by the Northern Qi spy Si Lili.
She was safe and went back to the carriage, accompanied by the prince of Cheng. ”
Fan Xian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and his hanging heart was also put down, and then he looked at Li Luo, and had other thoughts.
"The fire is burning, and my sister-in-law is not leaving, are you waiting for Brother Teng?"
"Yes, he hasn't gone out yet. ”
"This fire can't hurt Brother Teng, so my sister-in-law should go out with me, so as not to worry Brother Teng. ”
"It's okay, the fire is still far away. ”
"Sure enough, Mrs. Sister-in-law's calmness, I am afraid that it is difficult for a second woman in the entire Qingguo to compare. ”
Li Luoqing frowned slightly, listening to the other party's tone seemed to be a little wrong, looking back, and listening to the other party again: "I remember that Brother Teng's original wife should be a soft and weak peasant girl, right, Mrs. Sister-in-law is so successful, won't she also be a traverser?"
"What do you want to say?"
"I'm not afraid to tell my sister-in-law, in fact, I'm from the same world as you, I understand the feeling of loneliness, maybe we can make friends, and some people can talk about it if they don't understand. ”
"It's no wonder that Lord Xiao Fan can win the favor of Miss Si Lili, and her speech is always unclear, so she is a little curious. It's a pity that I just want to be an ordinary woman and teach her children, and I believe that there will be better girls who are willing to listen to you. My husband may have gone out, and I'm going to look for him. ”
After speaking, without giving Fan Xian a chance to continue pestering, Li Luo quickly left the hall.
Fan Xian looked at the other party's back and wondered: Is she a traverser?
