West Coast Ports

Under the night sky, the vast sea now sleeps in my mother's arms, and there is endless darkness as far as the eye can see, and the sound of the howling wind blows on the sea. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xinghai Yuelou hung up the flag, and the lights lit up the port, supporting a white world.

The crown prince of a country stood in front of all the soldiers and watched the two national teachers get on board.

General Long Wei always kept an eye on his surroundings, kept his vigilance to the maximum, and whenever there was any disturbance, he would draw his clenched sword to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"After tonight, everything will be back to normal and our mission will be accomplished. The prince looked at the huge and bright ship in the wind, and his voice was faint.

For some reason, he always felt uneasy, as if something bad was happening in an unseen place. This chaotic mass of threads made him unable to find the thread, unable to straighten out, unable to pull open, and even more unable to unravel.

There were night crows chirping in the night sky, which was desolate and cold, making the night even colder.

Tall and majestic sycamores perched on a cliff with the full moon in the background, this black-clad tree in the night is isolated and helpless, holding up a scene on its own.

There were two people standing on the tree, one was the misty snow wind, and the other was the misty Meiqing.

A small bird with a red body flies in the dark, relying on its distinctive scent to find the location of its owner. A black hand lifts up and catches the birdie.

"The crown prince, Huangfu Yan, and the Xingyue family are all here. Mei Qing, who was wrapped in black, said while teasing the bird, and the evil voice was like a wisp of light ghost. "Except for the second prince, all the big names are here. ”

The snow wind looked down at the brightly lit place below the cliff, and the Xinghai Moon Tower had lowered the long ladder at this time, and the maids and sailors lined up to board the ship in an orderly manner. "What's the news from Mistress Meiyue?" he asked.

"No, it's as if their actions have already begun. Listening to the chirping of the bird in her hand, Mei Qing looked at him, "That girl of unknown origin, can her method really save people?"

"I don't know, but ....... Since you believe in her words and deeds, she always has her ability. “

Two

Inside the Hall of Worries, in the hall.

Three men in white sit around a table next to a circular flower platform on which graceful dancers wave their sleeves. On the second floor, the men who watched the excitement laughed and threw flowers and money downward. This is the rule of the Qinglou, whoever gets more money is the next Oiran.

Tonight, the proprietress of the Worry Hall invited the Mulian girl with the crown of the god of flowers, and with her in charge, the money naturally rolled in.

There were many men who broke their heads in order to see the water sleeve lotus dance of the Wood Lotus God, and they also squeezed into the lintel of the Worry Hall. It is said that Miss Mulian's dance is rare in the world, and it is as beautiful as her beauty. She danced on the flower platform, and the money fell like rain and scattered on the stage. The audience was full of colorful flowers, the scene was enthusiastic and singing, and the shouts, laughter, and applause one after another were all dedicated to her.

However, the Qinglou is not full of people who are looking for fun, and the three quiet men in white are the outliers in the Worry Hall. They don't accept any tea and snacks, refuse to throw themselves into their arms, and sit like wood, like monks who meditate. Fortunately, there were many people in this place, and the sound of entertainment resounded on the rooftops, and they were drowned in the sound of the waves, which was not so noticeable.

"Uncle Xu, how long are we going to stay here?" the shortest man said in a low voice, his voice very immature.

"Minyu, it's rare to come once, don't be so reserved. You've been staring at the dancer up there. The man in white next to him stretched out his hand and put his hand on the little man's shoulder, and laughed playfully, "You are thirteen years old, and you are not young, are you hairy........?"

"Brother Bai Fan, what are you talking about?" the little man was annoyed and angry, and stood up suddenly, a small pink face under the hood puffed up and fluttered red. "I'm ....... to these I don't like that, and what kind of place is this?"

Min Yu was the youngest in the Long Clan, and he had always been ignorant about these adults, and he didn't understand why Sister Miao asked him to follow Bai Fan. It's a strange place, full of adults, and—so many pretty women, dressed little and showy, hugging and hugging the men who come in. They were so bold and so indecent, they made him feel ashamed. His heart was numb, and he was a little scared.

Xu Shu pressed Min Yu to sit on the chair and pulled his hat for him. Only Min Yu wore a hat here, he and Bai Fan were adult men, so they didn't have to cover their faces, but Min Yu was still a child, and it was too early for him to appear in this kind of place.

Miao Nu asked Minyu to follow in order to prevent Bai Fan from making mistakes. Bai Fan is a prodigal person, he used to wander in the flower street, and he is also a little lustful. Although he himself has always said that he is clean and self-conscious, Miao Nu knows the essence of his lust as soon as he sees a beautiful woman, so in order to keep him from messing up his plans because of lust, so he let Minyu follow. No matter how prodigal Bai Fan is, he is also a responsible man, Min Yu is the most important person in the Long Clan, he will not take bad children, and he will definitely restrain himself in front of children.

Xu Shu did not agree with the child to follow him into the flower street, but Miao Nu was also reasonable, this action was very important, and he made an exception with Bai Fan to bring Minyu here.

"Xu Daxia, we have searched almost the entire Worry Hall, even the nearby Qinglou, and we haven't seen any places where people can be detained. Could Zihui be mistaken? Bai Fan's eyes were wandering around, but his mouth was saying things that were inconsistent with the beautiful scenery he saw.

Xu Shu closed his eyes and meditated, the surrounding environment did not affect him in the slightest, and he said, "There may be other places here that we haven't found." ”

"Ask someone and you'll know if there's something you haven't found. Min Yu interjected, looked up at Uncle Xu, and his eyes were clear and calm.

"You ......" Xu Shu was just about to say something that was very boring, Bai Fan began to take action, grabbed a girl casually, and said with a smile: "This young lady, I have encountered a difficulty, can you help me solve it?"

The girl was held by a man for the first time, and when she saw Bai Fan's appearance, her face was slightly red, and she nodded shyly.

Xu Shu didn't speak on the side, but pulled Min Yu over to him without moving.

"Miss, may I ask what your name is, how old are you, how many people are in your family, where do you live, and what do you like?" Bai Fan asked a bunch of boring questions.

Min Yu didn't like the fragrance of the big sister next to her very much, the fat powder was too strong, and it was a little smoky. He thought of Sister Miao and the eldest sister Hua who was still unconscious, and the elegant fragrance on their bodies was very good.

"Minyu, come here. Come to my side. Uncle Xu changed places with him, and Bai Fan, who was sitting side by side at the table, began to talk broadly with the girl.......

"Girl, are all the girls here as beautiful as you?"

Childe laughed. ”

"Don't be shy. I just think you're as beautiful as the moon in the sky, unique. ”

"Childe, you are so bad, how can you say this. ”

"Don't blush, I've never seen a beautiful girl like you for the first time here. ”

"What Childe said is true, and it's your first time coming to us?"

"Yes, it's a beautiful place, I've never seen such a nice house, and it scared me when I came in. ”

"It's beautiful, and I was shocked when I first arrived. ”

"Huh, you're new?" Bai Fan grabbed the girl's hand and whispered softly.

The girl shyly replied, "Yes." Most of the girls here are new and have only been here for a few months. Because he was a newcomer, there were few who were so famous, and there were no oirans, so my mother would try her best to invite other women's oirans to come here to attract distinguished guests. The god of flowers on this stage has been refusing to come before, and today I don't know what's wrong, so I'm suddenly willing to come over, or perform for free. Mom is happy, most of the guests who came here today are coming for her, because of this, the mothers of other hospitals are complaining that we have robbed them of their business. “

"You've only been here for a short time, have you noticed anything....... Well, I mean, there's something you don't fit into, like something that's special and doesn't allow newcomers to come in. Bai Fan looked at the girl tenderly, like a gentle and affectionate son.

The girl was puzzled and asked, "Why is Childe asking this?"

Bai Fan bent his eyes, covered his embarrassment with a smile, and explained: "I want to find a place where I can be alone with the beautiful girl, but your mother is too stingy, and she won't let me go inside when she goes upstairs, so she will drive me away." “

"Childe, you deserve to be driven away by your mother. The girl laughed, "You can let people in upstairs, but there is a distinguished guest inside, and it is said that my mother has received her personally." People who don't even dare to provoke their mothers naturally have to entertain them, of course, don't let other people go in casually, don't disturb the guests. “

Bai Fan listened, exchanged glances with Xu Shu, and read a message from each other's eyes - the distinguished guest upstairs seemed to be the second prince.

"But you're lucky, Childe, you only went to the second floor, not the backyard. Then the girl said, "That part of the backyard is forbidden to anyone." “

Bai Fan and Xu Shu were stunned when they heard this, and looked at the girl together.

"What is that place?" Bai Fan asked slowly, trying not to make the girl suspicious.

The girl rolled her eyes, leaned into Bai Fan's ear, and whispered, "There is a small building in the backyard, and my mother said that no one can enter there." Some time ago, one of our new girls called the matchmaker, she was too young to understand the rules, once and thought that the drunk guests went to the small building to steal the change, and was hit by the mother. My mother was very angry, and locked the matchmaker in the small building for three whole days, without eating or drinking, and when she was carried out, I went to take a look, she was so thin and yellow, and her eyes were wide open, as if she had seen a ghost. Later, all the disobedient girls were locked up there for three days, and when they came out, they all changed. Some of them have been well-behaved and obedient since then, while others have been a little crazy and stupid. We now know that the downstairs was used by my mother to punish the disobedient girl, and I don't know what was inside, scaring people like that, and since then, no one has dared to be disobedient, and the place has never dared to let people in. “

"Is it good that no one goes in and then comes out?" Bai Fan asked in a dumb voice.

"I don't know, it's almost no one to go to that place now. But there's one thing I'm hearing from my sisters. The girl looked nervous, looked around at the jubilant surroundings, and said, "Someone once saw that in the middle of the night, my mother went in there alone, holding something in her hand. Plus the girl who went crazy in there, everyone said it was an ominous place, and there was something weird. “

Bai Fan's eyes flashed instantly, and he looked up and smiled proudly at Xu Daxia, as if announcing that he had found a breakthrough without much effort, and there was a place to save people.

Xu Shu ignored Bai Fan, and just whispered to Minyu, "You go out to find a place where there are few people and send the signal to them." As he spoke, he took out a wooden cylinder from his sleeve and put it in Minyu's hand.

Min Yu covered his things on his chest, avoided crowded places under Uncle Xu's instructions, and went out from the side door.

Seeing him leave, Xu Shu and Fang exchanged glances and nodded to each other.

"Girl, I still think about it now, and I'll talk about it another day. Without waiting for the girl to react, Bai Fan and Xu Shu got up and left the hall. They walked around the garden in the backyard and went directly to the uninhabited side courtyard, and after leaving the side courtyard, they came to a corridor with a semicircular arch at the end, and the small building was inside, unguarded.

Xu Shu's hand slowly rested on the hilt of the sword under the cloak, alertly watching his surroundings.

"Nobody. It seems that the girl was right, this place is a bit weird. Bai Fan looked up at the moonlight.

"It doesn't look like there's anyone here. Xu Shu looked into the door, and by the moonlight, he could see weeds growing among the bricks of the paving road.

Bai Fan stepped in, his steps were steady, and he didn't make any sound. "Let's find the secret of this place. “
