Chapter 174: A Night Visit to Chunhui Tower

The battle intelligence of the two armies goes first, which is naturally very clear to Helian Jue, as the commander of a thousand cavalry, the hard bone of Shanyang Town was chosen by Helian Jue himself, and setting up an ambush at the General's Cliff was also a decision made by Helian Jue after careful consideration, originally thinking that he would eat this thousand leopard Taowei as soon as possible, and then take advantage of the victory to attack Shanyang, which would inevitably receive unexpected results, but now Helian Jue was a little skeptical that his decision was correct.

The general's cliff is steep, and the greedy wolf rider is very good at charging, but those enemies on the other side don't know what faith is supporting them, many of them are already extremely seriously injured, some have several arrows in their bodies, and some have their arms cut off, but Rao is so, but he is still gritting his teeth and holding on, refusing to take half a step back.

Helian Jue stood on the cliff, at a glance, he could see that the banner of Leopard Taowei was planted in the middle of the official road, he had to hurry, if Mu Feiyu's golden eye guard could not stop the evil unicorn, he would face the situation of being attacked by the enemy on his back, and when the time came, let alone capture Shanyang Town, even if he could escape with his two thousand greedy wolf riders, he was still in the middle of the two.

Looking into the distance, Helian Jue's gaze seemed to have crossed the heavy mountains and landed in Chuyi City, and he didn't know what happened to Qianqian? Will Hu Yanwu be in danger? They all chose to face such danger for their own sake, and Helian Jue felt unprecedented pressure at this moment.

Li Qing unexpectedly saw the steamed buns, and his mood was a little happier, he had a lot of things to ask, how was Erya? How was Mengzi doing in Lantai? What have the steamed buns encountered in the Thunder Mansion in the past six months? But Li Qing couldn't even ask a word, he was worried about hearing some bad news.

Although he killed Yu Feiqiong and Yu Feimei at the moment, Li Qing always couldn't let go, the jade owl was gone, and the Yu family suffered heavy losses in this battle, could he be willing to leave like this? This is not the Yu family's style of acting. What's more, until now, the golden eyed guards outside the city have not made the slightest movement, which is not in line with common sense, with the temperament of those barbarians in Shanrong, are they willing to accept defeat like this?

Li Qing was not the only one who realized this situation, Wei Duxing also sensed the danger, and didn't bother to check the injuries of his disciples, and called Gao Dalin and Li Qing together with the steamed buns.

The four of them discussed for a long time and decided to go their separate ways, Li Qing and Mantou went to find Lai Qingzhu, this person is plain and low-key, but he is the spiritual leader of Chuyi, ensuring his safety, and preserving the spirit of Chuyi's scholars.

Gao Dalin, as the commander of the city guards, is naturally responsible for defending the city, and Chuyi only has two city gates, which is the most important thing at the moment, and it is not easy to smash the Yu family's scheme, and the enemy cannot be allowed to mix in again. And Wei Duxing planned to go to see Hong Xin, such a battle took place in the Antler Pavilion, Hong Xin and his subordinates and those servants and catchers never showed up, could it be that they also encountered some situation? Wei Duxing was a little relieved.

Now that the discussion has been decided, the four of them said goodbye, and Li Qing took the steamed buns all the way to the knife lane. The alley was as quiet as ever, as if what was happening outside had no effect on the place. Looking at the wooden door of the courtyard not far away, Li Qing stopped, Lai Qingzhu was not the only one in this courtyard, there was also a white-clothed maid, it didn't look simple.

The two brothers glanced at each other, steamed buns stepped forward to call the door, and Li Qing lightly jumped onto the high wall.

The wooden door was slammed and no one responded, and the steamed bun looked up at the wall, and Li Qing was gone.

The courtyard is no different from Li Qing's first visit, the xylophone is still placed in the pavilion, but the piano case is already full of dust, and under the wall not far away is the unfinished bamboo, and the half-cut bamboo is scattered on the ground, and there is a cyan contempt knife next to it.

Although Li Qing has only seen Lai Qingzhu once, Li Qing can see Lai Qingzhu's personality to some extent, if it weren't for an emergency, Lai Qingzhu would never just throw the knife on the ground at will. But what really happened? Li Qing searched carefully in the courtyard, for fear of missing a clue.

After searching the entire courtyard, Li Qing didn't find any useful clues, picked up the scorn knife and checked it repeatedly, it was no different, Li Qing's eyes stopped at the pile of scattered bamboo strips. One by one, the bamboo strips were picked up and put back together, Li Qing's eyes suddenly stopped, and on a bamboo strip, Li Qing saw two words: "Chunhui".

These two words are crooked, and at first glance, they were engraved in a hurry, which shows that the situation encountered by Lai Qingzhu at that time was very urgent. Li Qing took the bamboo strip and fell into deep thought, Chunhui, these two words are somewhat familiar, Li Qing remembered the murder that happened in the Yangwei Martial Arts Hall yesterday, the dead woman was not the courtesan of Chunhui Hall? Li Qing still remembered that the woman's name was Chu Chu.

Looking at the sky, the sun was still hanging high in the sky, and it seemed that it was almost around the time of Shen, which meant the end of the day's work for many people, but for a place like Chunhui Hall, this hour was still a little too early.

Li Qing put the scorn knife in his hand and the bamboo strips in his hand one by one according to their original appearance, and cautiously withdrew from the courtyard.

At night, the lights came on, Chunhui Hall was singing and dancing, and the two turtle slaves were ushered in in front of the door as usual. After all, it is the largest green building in Chuyi, even the two turtle slaves at the door are well-trained, and they are not as snobbish as other small places, no matter who they meet, the faces of the two people are full of bright smiles.

"Yo, two sons-" A turtle slave saw Li Qing, his eyes couldn't help but light up, although the one in front of him looked young and not gorgeous, but he was quite imposing in his steps, especially the one who followed behind him, he was afraid that his height was not a foot away, his thick eyebrows and big eyes, just glanced at himself as if there was a sharp flash in the night sky, it was such a character, looking at the clothes and just the follower of this young man, you can think about how not simple this young man's identity is.

In the final analysis, the turtle slave is just a turtle slave, even if the performance is of good quality, it still can't avoid the habit of watching people put down the dishes, as soon as he saw Li Qing walking towards the door, he hurriedly nodded and greeted him, and when he got closer, he didn't speak and saluted first, and then greeted with a smile, "Are the two sons listening to the music or..."

Li Qing ignored him, and walked to the door by himself, but the steamed bun behind him took out a piece of loose silver from the placket and threw it into the hands of the turtle slave.

The turtle slave took the silver, and he was happier after running, what is it to feel at home, and the turtle slave in front of him is a model.

"Your Excellency has arrived," the turtle slave waited for Li Qing to find a private seat to sit on, and then shouted at the top of his voice.

After a while, a middle-aged woman with a faint moth brow walked over. Unlike other Qinglou, Chunhuilou's mother has read books, and she wears a moon-white cardigan jacket with a lake-blue Luo skirt, which is dotted with a few peonies that are about to bloom, which looks plain and elegant.

"The two sons have a cup of tea first, today the two of them are blessed, Yunshang will come out to play the piano later, and the green clothes will also dance, this is a rare grand occasion. As the woman spoke, she took the tea tray from the hand of the maid on the side, and personally made a cup of silver quill for Li Qing.

Good tea, although Li Qing almost doesn't understand tea at all, he also knows that there is a rare cup of good tea in front of him.

The woman made tea, chatted with Li Qing for a few words, and then left, looking polite and thoughtful.

The woman left, Li Qing had the opportunity to take a good look at this Chunhui Building, although it is the largest green building in Chuyi, but it does not seem to be very big, only two floors, downstairs is the flower hall, specially for guests to drink and have fun, the middle of the hall is a high platform, the platform is surrounded by carved screens, no matter from that direction, the situation on the platform is looming, neither let people see very clearly, nor let people not see at all, which satisfies people's appetite.

Around the high platform is eleven elegant seats, the elegant seats are different from the high platform, except for the direction facing the high platform is the hollow carved partition, the other directions are a color of mahogany wall, slow to say that you can't see through, even the sound is difficult to penetrate, sitting in these elegant seats, there is no bit of hustle and bustle of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, but there is a bit of tranquility of paradise.

Raise your eyes and look, on the white marble staircase leading to the women's residence on the second floor is a landscape map, the high gorge towers, the river flows eastward, a lonely boat, leisurely and far away. The blank space of the landscape map is holding the "Quyu Pipe" of the three changes of the great Confucian willow in the previous dynasty, the head of the dragon is flying, the riverside is on the evening and the evening, and the smoke and waves are full of eyes and columns for a long time.

Whether Li Qing or steamed buns, although not as hard as Mengzi, but also familiar with poetry and books, this is no stranger to this "Qu Yu Guan", this is a lovesick and sad lyrics, placed in Chunhui Building, singing and laughing add a little sadness, but it seems that this is not just a place to buy and sell skin and meat, but to set off some poetic romance.

Gently sipping the tea, Li Qing had never entered the Qinglou, and he didn't know what was different from other Qinglou here, if it weren't for Wei Duxing, they were all familiar faces in Chuyi, and this errand would not have been Li Qing's turn, but now there is no way, so he has to catch the duck on the shelf, whether he can do it or not, he must always give it a try.

Although he has never entered the Qinglou, since he stepped into this Chunhui Building, he has only felt two words to Li Qing from beginning to end: "comfortable". It is because of these two words that Li Qing did not dare to act rashly, for a person like Li Qing who has been through life and death for a long time, comfort means danger.

Li Qing waited quietly, since Lai Qingzhu can leave the word "Chunhui", it must be inseparable from here, everyone here, including the turtle slave in front of the door, Su Ya's mother may be the enemy waiting for the opportunity to kill people, he must be patient, and never show his clues before finding Lai Qingzhu, so not only can he not save people, but also put Lai Qingzhu in danger.

"Ding Dongโ€”," the pleasant sound of the piano sounded, I don't know when, there was an extra woman on the high platform in the middle of the flower hall, a woman wearing a lotus lotus root skirt, slender hands flying, the crisp sound of the piano meandered and flowing, at this moment, people almost suspected that they were in the green mountains and forests...
