Linqing City, Aotouji.

Ten miles of people are divided on both sides of the strait, high-rise buildings enter the green clouds, official ships and boats pass by one after another, and drums and gongs are heard everywhere.

The Huitong River divides into two branches near the canal, flowing into the canal from the north and south, forming a central continent. The southeast is full of Qi and the northwest is full of brown, all gathered here. There is also a stone dam on the middle continent, its shape is like the head of the Ao, the four river locks on the two canals are like the two pairs of feet of the Ao, the Guangji Bridge is like its tail behind the Aotou Rock, and there is the calligraphy of the Linqing Dynasty for the inscription of the Aotou Rock "monopoly" two words, giving the ambition and artistic conception of "monopolizing the head of the Ao".

This is exactly the scene of 'Aoji Ningxiu'.

Not far away, a green building is named Xiuxiang Pavilion by the meaning of Ningxiu. In terms of scale and fame, Xiuxiang Pavilion is not as good as the other Qinglou Ning Building opposite, but it is not much worse.

At this time, in a room on the Xiuxiang Pavilion, Hua Ye stood by the window, staring at the scenery in the distance. Customs, bridgeheads, moored ships...... Linqing City is no longer as lively as it used to be. The canal is stopped, the thieves are attacking the city, how much business is left?

"Linqing Gang, this group of fools, defected to the thieves who didn't understand business at all, what kind of climate could they become." Hua Ye thought to himself, and his gaze fell back to the condensation building opposite.

A short time later, there was a knock on the door.

"This lord, the slave family chose a girl for you......"

"Come in."

It was a woman from a green house who came in, and she entered the house to cover the door. A piece of silver was thrown in his hand.

"Shut up, sit down obediently, dare to speak out, Lao Tzu did you."

The Qinglou woman had never seen anyone in Linqing City here, so she took the money and put away the smile on her face, and sat down quietly by the bed.

Hua Ye didn't look at her either, since Peony's death, he hadn't set foot in this kind of fireworks land for many years. Back then, the habit of eating marrow and knowing the taste was actually quit when he said that he had quit.

After a while, a group of Swiss troops came from afar, cleared the long street, and dispersed all the guests in the opposite condensation building.

After a while, the street was quiet, and more than 100 elite soldiers escorted a carriage into the Ning Xiang Building, and then, those old battalion elite soldiers surrounded the Ning Xiang Building layer by layer, guarding it tightly.

Until the evening, a woman in a red dress was thrown from the Ning Xiang Tower, and fell into the canal with a thud, splashing and falling, and then disappeared.

Hua Ye squinted, and suddenly heard the Qinglou woman behind him say slowly: "That's General Wu of the Zhennan Army, right?" I heard that if he didn't serve someone well, he would kill someone like this afterwards......"

Hua Ye turned his head, only to see that she had stood up at some point, and was standing behind herself looking out the window.

"This master is here to keep an eye on General Wu?"

"Why don't you stay well, you want to die?"

"The slave family is a miserable person, and if he dies, he will die, so what's the matter?" The woman smiled leisurely and bit her fingers, her eyes like silk.

Hua Ye put his hand in his sleeve, holding a dagger, and slowly walked towards her.

"The master killed the slave family today, and he is on the same road as that General Wu."

As she spoke, the smile on her face became more and more charming, but there was a trace of sadness in her eyes.

In an instant, Hua Ye thought of peony again.

There are all kinds of women in this green building, some are willing to be cheap, and some are forced to be helpless. He didn't know everyone, but he knew the misery of Peony back then. He tattooed peony flowers on his body, and was imprisoned for murder and exiled to the rivers and lakes...... Looking back, I don't regret it.

Today, I see such a look again.

He frowned, and said viciously: "Don't tell others about today's events, otherwise Lao Tzu will chop you up!" Lao Tzu's dagger is very vicious! ”

"The slave family is not afraid of being chopped up by the master, but they will not say to others that the slave family is looking forward to the master getting rid of a man like Wu Tong......"

~~

Hua Ye walked out of Xiuxiang Pavilion and carefully circled several times, but indeed no one followed him behind him, so he walked all the way into a remote alley.

When he walked here, he suddenly regretted it.

"That woman should have been killed." I thought so.

He knocked on a courtyard, someone opened the door, and he walked in.

After a while, there was no movement in the alley. He then came out again, went around from the end of the alley to another, and returned to his real stronghold.

"No tails, right?"

"Nope."

"How?"

"Then Wutong is guarded when he goes in and out, it's not easy to ......"

At this point, Hua Ye and the shepherd entered the lobby, but the whole person was stunned for a moment.

I saw that the woman in the Qinglou who met in Xiuxiang Pavilion was also there, kneeling in front of Shi Gong.

"I'm back." Shi Gong raised his head and said hello to Hua Ye, grinned, and said very sincerely: "Lao Hua, I can't let you make a move, you can't." ”

Hua Ye: "......"

"I've known you since I was a kid, what kind of person are you? I don't know, you're not ruthless enough. This kind of thing has to be like a ghost-headed bee, piercing it with a needle, fierce and decisive. This last link, or let General Cai come, what's the matter? ”

Hua Ye sighed and said, "That's it, listen to you." ”

At the end, he scolded in a low voice: "Vicious." ”

Over there, Shi Gong grinned again, turned his head to Cai Wuzhen and asked, "General Cai, okay?" ”

"What you say, how do I." Cai Wuzhen said coldly, without a single superfluous word.

"Okay, you should be this ghost-headed bee."

The shepherd said again: "shell lang, tomorrow will be the sixth day, you have made no progress, don't miss the big thing of the Hou Ye." ”

"This kind of thing is hunting, the emphasis is on hitting with one hit, otherwise the prey will be in trouble." Shi Gong didn't care.

The shepherd then said no more, in fact, Shi Gong did convince him, and acted meticulously to the point that others were impatient.

Even the division of labor and who is assigned to do which thing are being adjusted repeatedly. Everyone's suitability to carry out his task was repeatedly examined, and Wu Tong's travel habits, the number of guards, and which day was earlier or later than the previous day were all noted down and compared. Even what Wu Tong ate every day, he had to send a shepherd to the restaurant to steal the swill bucket out and smell it, and identify the taste of Wu Tong's food.

What's annoying is that Shi Gong also likes to give everyone a worm name to represent the task they need to complete.

For example, the shepherd is a "fly", and tonight Cai Wuzhen is designated as a "ghost head bee......

Finally, it's time to do it tomorrow.

Hua Ye pointed to the Qinglou woman and asked Shi Gong, "Do you know each other?" You sent her to test me? ”

"I don't know. This is someone who came in. ”

The shepherd raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Spider? ”

"No, she can't be a spider." Shi Gong said: "She is not afraid of death, but she has no strength and can't kill Wu Tong." At best, it's just a worm eaten by a spider. ”

Hearing this last sentence, the Qinglou woman laughed miserably and shook her head, as if she was laughing at herself.

"What do you mean?"

Shi Gong said to her, "Say it yourself." ”

"Yes. The slave family's flower name is Manniang, who sells laughter for a living in Xiuxiang Pavilion, and has saved a sum of money for several years, and is ready to redeem himself for the elderly. A year ago, the slave family met a man who ...... He ......"

At this point, her voice gradually trembled.

"His name is Gu Zheyan, and he looks handsome...... The slave family doesn't know how to describe it, and only a few masters can understand what it looks like when they see it......"

"Huh" The shepherd sneered: "A country woman who has never seen the world, no matter how handsome she is, is she as handsome as my marquis?" ”

"The slave family has never seen the world, and he is fascinated by him, and treats him with all his heart, giving him all the silver he has accumulated in half his life, and giving him everything he can give...... In the end, I found out that he was actually a liar who made a living by deceiving his face. Only this year, when he was with me, he deceived nearly 40 people at the same time, including ladies, small jasper, prostitutes in Qinglou, and even the nuns in the Hongyun Nunnery......"

The shepherd raised his eyebrows and exclaimed softly, "So powerful? ”

- It is indeed much more powerful than Hou Ye.

The man girl raised her head, trying not to let her tears fall, and said, "Even not only the woman, he ...... He cheats even men...... You can also deceive many high-ranking officials......"

The shepherd opened his mouth: "Can men deceive?" ”

"Nothing surprising." Hua Ye said: "Although the most prosperous place for male prostitutes in the world has to mention Fujian and Guangzhou, but in fact, there are good men, five out of ten in the world, all in Linqing." ”

"Lao Tzu knows that Lao Tzu is also a person who has seen the golden plum."

Shi Gong glanced at them and let Manniang continue.

"If that's all there is, the slave doesn't hate him...... But later, the slave family conceived his flesh and blood, and only begged him to return part of the slave family's money for the slave family to redeem himself, so that the child could be born...... But he was so cruel that he pushed the slave down the stairs...... Woohoo......"

Manniang had already tears in her eyes, and finally trembled and cried when she said this.

"Brother Shi, you promised to kill him for the slave family...... Woowoo woo ......"

Shi Gong nodded, turned his head to look at Hua Ye and the shepherd, and asked, "What do you say?" ”

"Chop!" Hua Ye scolded hatefully.

"Brute!" The shepherd chirped.

Shi Gong shook his head and sighed: "This is a fierce insect!" ”

"I haven't done anything in the past few days, just looking for this most poisonous spider in Linqing City...... That's it...... Gu Zheyan. ”

The shepherd looked up at Shi Gong's eyes and unconsciously took a step back.

"Such a poisonous spider can weave webs, you see how many insects it catches, and after catching it, it will eat it without hesitation...... Do you know what it's like to be a spouse? During the intersection of the female spider and the male spider, the female spider bites the male spider and swallows it whole! ”

~~

"Young General, there is an old bustard in the city who said that someone is staring at you......"

"Staring at Lao Tzu?"

"Yes, when the general was in the Ning Fat Building today, there was a man in Xiuxiang Pavilion who had a room, and he didn't sleep with the prostitute, and he kept staring at the Ning Fat Building from the window."

"Find out the people for Lao Tzu!"

"Yes......"

Until the next day, after Wu Tong got up, he went to the famous restaurant in Linqing City for breakfast and lunch.

Anchovy, sour bamboo shoots, fish sorrel, drunken crab...... The same things that are not delicious elsewhere are put on the table, Wu Tong is not elegant when eating, and the chopsticks are like flying, and he has two more chickens burned, and he tears them with his hands to eat.

Halfway through the meal, he came up close and reported: "Major General, the prostitute Manniang that the man was looking for disappeared that night, and the little ones checked it, and she had a good match, and now she has been arrested." ”

Not long after, it was Shen Xiangyu, a fellow acquaintance of Linqing, who hurriedly came and begged Wu Tong to release him.

"General Wu, that Gu Zheyan is weak, and he is already in Linqing, he will never intend to assassinate the general, and the official will guarantee ...... in this matter."

Wu Tong chewed the chicken leg and looked at Shen Xiangyu with a grin.

"Old boy, aren't you timid today?"

"Will ...... General ......"

"When Lao Tzu besieged the city, you were so scared that all the and urine flowed out." Wu Daodao: "I actually dare to intercede with Lao Tzu today, I don't want to die?" ”

"General, this and this ......" Shen Xiangyu bowed and said, "It's really because Gu Zheyan has nothing to do with this matter." ”

After a while, a personal guard came back from outside and leaned over Wu Tong and whispered a few words in Wu Tong's ear.

Wu Tong raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, but a playful smile appeared on his face.

"Is there such a thing?"

He was curious in his heart and ordered: "Go, bring that kid to Lao Tzu to see......"

Shen Xiangyu was a little flustered when he heard this, and he knelt on the ground and got up, and he couldn't afford it, which seemed quite ridiculous.

After a while, someone escorted Gu Zheyan over, Wu Tong turned his head and looked, and the whole person was stunned.

Gu Zheyan was dressed in a costume, with a hairpin ring on his head, and it seemed that he was playing Tang Guifei before he was caught, but he didn't apply a very thick powder, and only dressed up slightly.

This is actually not a formal singing outfit, obviously to add a certain mood.

On the other hand, there is some insult to the pear orchard technique.

But Wu Tong didn't feel insulting to the opera, he only felt that this Gu Zheyan was incredibly beautiful, and he was even more beautiful than all the women he had seen in his life.

"No wonder ......" Wu Tong muttered after a while.

"No wonder rich people like it...... Also, those people have been getting a little tired lately......"

Hearing this, Shen Xiangyu's face changed and shouted, "General...... Checkmate...... Xiaguan ......"

"Laugh one." Wu Tong ignored Shen Xiangyu and instructed Gu Zheyan.

Gu Zheyan glanced at him, a little stubborn, but he still raised the corners of his mouth. There is a more glamorous temperament in his eyes that ordinary women don't have.

This time he didn't look happy, but it made Wu Tong's body tremble.

"Take it back and try it."

Hearing Wu Tong's order, Shen Xiangyu's face turned pale and hugged Wu Tong's leg.

"General, no! General, let me tell you the truth...... Tetsuhiko is the heart of the lower officials...... The lower officials persuaded the prefect to open the city gate of Linqing for you...... Checkmate...... Xia Guan can also be regarded as a meritorious person to Da Rui! ”

Wu Tong sneered and kicked Shen Xiangyu away.

"Dog thing, get out of the way."

"General......

Shen Xiangyu wanted to come over and hug his leg again, but Wu Tong suddenly pulled out the saber from the hand of the guard and slashed it down.

"Ahh

With a scream, one of Shen Xiangyu's arms had been removed.

"Dog officer, do you know why Lao Tzu rebelled? There are too many dog officials like you in the world. Lao Tzu brought troops to fight, and you opened the city gate without a fart...... Lao Tzu has never been killed, do you know?

Have you ever fought for your court? Now for the sake of a **, dare to stop Lao Tzu? You Chu Dynasty, you will die at the hands of scum like you! ”

Shen Xiangyu cried loudly, and he didn't know if it was because of shame or because he lost his heart, or simply because of pain......

Wu Tong was very happy, raised his head and laughed.

"Look, Lao Tzu said that the officer who passed the entrance examination was crying, hahaha......"

~~

"I'm not **." Gu Zheyan said lightly.

"I don't care." Wu Daodao looked him up and down, feeling itchy in his heart, but he didn't know how to start.

It was also the first time he had played with a man.

Gu Zheyan's temperament was very cold, and he seemed to take his hesitation into his eyes.

"I serve the general, can the general release Lord Shen?"

"Yes."

Gu Zheyan squinted his eyes slightly, and became smoky in an instant.

He stroked Wu Tong's face with his hand and said in a low voice: "I'll teach the general ......"

Gradually, Wu Tong's breathing became heavier and heavier.

Gu Zheyan squatted down and buried his head over......

After a while.

An extremely terrible scream resounded through the general's mansion that Wu Tong had just occupied......

"General! General ......"
