In front of a flower building in Tokyo City, a team of soldiers from the city defense battalion holding a portrait of a woman stopped people everywhere for comparison, causing pedestrians to change color, and they all quickened their pace and hurriedly flashed.

Several boldly dressed women in the Qinglou were soliciting business in front of the door, and when they saw that the people in front of the building were frightened by the patrolling soldiers, they exchanged glances.

In order to keep the business, Qi Qi threw his handkerchief and rushed towards the soldiers, so he didn't look like a silky and enchanting look.

"Official, come in and have fun!"

"The official is so hard, why don't you come into our building and let the slave family come to relieve the official?"

"That's right, sir, if you like fresh, we also have orchids in the building, and there are many ways for Hu people to serve people, so I promise to let you in and be happy like a fairy!"

A group of big men with five big and three thick were entangled in the breath of fat powder, although their hearts were rippling, but for the sake of face, they still coughed dryly, pretending to be majestic: "Bold!" Just a cheap prostitute who eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, dare to hinder us from performing official duties! ”

After that, he pulled out, scolded "bad luck", and led a team of people to leave in a hurry.

After those people were completely far away, the Qinglou woman changed her servile posture and sneered in the direction where the soldiers left, and then threw up her veil again to solicit other business.

In front of the door of the Hualou, a well-dressed woman was carrying a burden and was pulling another slightly cowardly woman to the Hualou, and the former turned his head from time to time and whispered: "You go faster!" The patrol has just left, so if you don't want to be discovered, go in quickly! ”

The latter is a little unnatural: "I'm just taking a shower, can't I just take a shower?" Besides, who came to the Qinglou to take a bath? ”

"Just take a wash?" The former sneered, approached the latter and sniffed, immediately pinched his nose in disgust, and took a few steps back: "The smell on your body is no less than the smell of salted fish!" Besides, what's wrong with Qinglou? Regardless of the identity of the visitor, regardless of family background, for you, it can be regarded as the safest place in Tokyo today, besides, I saw that when you entered the Qinglou in order to hide, you were not like now, twisting and pinching like a girl! ”

"I ......," the latter was speechless, staring at him for a long time without a word of rebuttal.

Forcibly pulled into the building.

As soon as he entered the door, the old bustard, dressed in fancy clothes, came over, and said with a smile on his face: "Yo, this girl is not from our building, right?" ”

This was said to the Leya in front of him.

Without waiting for an answer, the old bustard saw the handsome young man behind Le Ya in men's regular clothes and a half-covered jade face.

"This son......" smiled slightly, a hint of surprise was fleeting, and said politely: "What? Girl, this is a private job outside the building? ”

Le Ya looked behind her and scolded unceremoniously: "You don't care so much!" Just prepared a room for us and a hot water ...... the tub."

After speaking, he took out a bulging money bag from his bosom, and took out a silver ingot from the money bag and handed it to the old bustard's hand.

"Good, good!" The old bustard was as kind as a stream, with an expression of "I understand", and hurriedly greeted a small servant in the building who was responsible for serving tea and pouring water.

After entering the room that the old bustard had ordered to prepare, Ye Lingyi finally couldn't help but ask, "What did the old bustard mean just now?" What is a private job outside the building? Also, where did you get all that money? ”

When Le Ya heard this, she raised her eyebrows and smiled: "What?" Are you still afraid that I will force you to become a prostitute and harm you? ”

didn't wait for her to speak, and then said: "Don't worry, in fact, there is a rule for prostitutes, that is, no matter how much they are worth, the money earned by accompanying customers is accounted for by the flower building to which they belong, and prostitutes only account for a very small minority, so some prostitutes are psychologically unbalanced and take advantage of the monthly break to go out to take private work, in order to hide the truth, take the business to other flower buildings, and only need to pay some benefits when they go to other people's places. ”

I see.

Ye Lingyi was stunned, and felt strange for a moment: "Then where did you get so much money?" ”

"You say this?" Le Ya smiled, put the bulging money bag in his hand and checked it, then untied the rope and poured out all the "silver taels" inside.

Ye Lingyi found out that this bulging thing was not a silver tael at all, except for the real silver that was just given to the old bustard's head, it was full of stones?

This......

Le Ya looked at her with a surprised expression, and her smile deepened: "Money can make ghosts grind, I don't have money but I can pretend to be rich, so others naturally have to respect me a little!" ”

Is that okay too?

All right!

Ye Lingyi said that he was convinced.

After a while, I was a little puzzled: "But, don't you think that the old bustard looked at me strangely just now?" It's like...... It's as if she knows me. ”

Le Ya didn't care: "You think too much, right?" You're all covered, who can tell? ”

"Is that so?"

Ye Lingyi was secretly suspicious, only hoping that she was overly cautious and thinking too much.

After a while, the little maid in the flower building knocked on the door outside and said softly: "Guest officer, the bath bucket and hot water you want are ready!" ”

Le Ya and Ye Lingyi glanced at each other, and quickly replied with a heroic gesture: "Send it in!" ”

The two servants worked hard to bring in the tub full of hot water.

After the two of them went out, Ye Lingyi also issued an eviction order: "You ...... You go out too! ”

"Me?" Le Ya was surprised.

"Hmm!" Ye Lingyi's expression was slightly unnatural.

Le Ya was speechless: "But we are all women, what are we afraid of?" ”

"I'm not used to showering and being watched."

Leya: "......"

In this case, Le Ya had nothing to say, so she could only cast a look that she couldn't do anything, turned around and opened the door and walked out.

After the surroundings were completely silent, Ye Lingyi breathed a long sigh of relief, relieved that the clothes on her body had been removed and scattered like waterfall green silk.

Slowly immerse yourself in the hot water.

Instantly, a sense of satisfaction came over me.

I closed my eyes and enjoyed the warmth and comfort that I hadn't experienced in a long time.

At this moment, it was as if all the worries had disappeared.

The whole person is light and fluttering, as if floating in the clouds.

When he opened his eyes, a pair of snow-like arms gently stirred the surface of the water, put his palms together into a spoon, scooped the water and raised it, and then released his fingers, allowing the water to drain from his fingers and fall back into the water surface in the bathtub.

The water flowed on the surface of the water, constantly splashing out the shape of the splash, Ye Lingyi watched it closely, and many memories seemed to come from the center of the splash like a tide, pouring into his mind little by little.

There are Helian Che, Han Shili, Li Yuanlin, and many, many more......

Suddenly coming back to her senses, she realized that she had been in this other world for so long, so long that she had many friends, so long that she had become a murderer without blinking, so long that it was ...... She experienced a self-righteous love.

It turns out that everything is nothing more than that.

Lowering his eyes, looking at the green silk floating in the water, Ye Lingyi laughed at herself.

Reaching out, he took out a knife from the clothes he had removed, grabbed a wisp of green silk from the water, and cut it without hesitation.

There was a little more desolation in her smile, and she said to herself: "Helian Che, there were many in the past, all of them should be big dreams, and you and I don't have to see each other in the future, goodbye...... It's just an enemy. In the past, I gave you a strand of hair, tied with you, meaning eternal union, and now I cut off a strand of hair, which is a lesson for myself, and I will completely break it with you! ”

Yan Bi let go of his hand and let the wet green silk fall to the ground.

Retracting the knife, Ye Lingyi's eyes that were like clear water no longer had any light.

Closing her eyes gently, she had decided to forget about the past.

Le Ya, who was guarding the door, was bored, and it happened that the vendors outside the flower building were selling shortbread.

The gluttonous worm in his stomach was instantly hooked, hung the burden in his hand on the door, and shouted loudly into the house: "That...... I'll go out and I'll be hanging my clothes here! ”

Ye Lingyi opened her eyes, felt strange, stretched her neck and asked urgently, "Where are you going?" ”

There was no response outside the house, apparently gone.

"This Le Ya ......," Ye Lingyi sighed lightly.

Retract your neck back into the water.

Then I don't know how long the hot water has been soaking, Ye Lingyi began to feel a little dizzy in her head, and wanted to get up, but found that she was weak and didn't even have the strength to get up.

What's going on?

The vision is slightly blurred.

Shake your head and try to get conscious.

There was a clear commotion outside the door.

"Official, it's inside! Xiao January is catching this chaotic party in the city, and the slave family remembers it even if she doesn't want to, although she covers her face today, but her eyes are ...... looks like a fox fairy in the mountains, the slave family has read countless people, and he will never admit his mistake! It must be a chaotic party to be caught in the city! ”

Disrupted party?

Who is this talking about?

is chasing all over the city, but I'm afraid it's just her.

Until now, she clearly remembers that on the night of her wedding, some of the killers who killed her called her a female thief who collaborated with the enemy and treason.

She didn't know what to say, but she ......

She must not be caught!

Ye Lingyi shook his head, frowned, gritted his teeth and exerted his strength to feed, and stood up from the bathtub with his body propped up.

Climb out of the tub with difficulty.

Someone was talking outside the house again.

"You're still a little clever, it's just ...... This person has been in for so long, he won't run away, right? If this person is really here, and if he succeeds in catching him, he will naturally be rewarded with a lot of reward, but if I find out that the person is not there, has escaped, or has made a mistake...... Old bustard, do you understand the fate of fooling the court officials? ”

"Understood, understood! Don't worry, sir, I've already instructed my guy to add sweat medicine to her bathwater, calculate the time, it should have been a seizure by this time! ”

Ye Lingyi listened well in the house.

Gritted his teeth and scolded fiercely: "Shameless! ”

Qi Leya also said that it doesn't matter what kind of area it is, regardless of identity and family background, but in the end it can't match the truth that a person dies for money.

At this time, Le Ya was not there, she was covered with sweat medicine, and she was not suitable for fighting with officers and soldiers, and now she didn't have half a piece of clothing on her body, so she could only put the clothes back on.

But things are going in an uncontrollable direction.

Before Ye Lingyi could put the changed clothes back on, the door of the house was kicked open.

Through a layer of floor-to-ceiling curtains, the sound of knives drawn and footsteps poured in.

In a hurry, Ye Lingyi had no choice but to grab the curtain casually, tear it hard, drape it on his body, gritted his teeth and slammed it out of the window with all his might.

The faces of the officers and soldiers who poured into the room were gloomy, and they looked through the torn curtain at the broken window behind them, and their expressions were extremely gloomy.

The old bustard couldn't wait to follow up because he was bent on inviting rewards, but now he looked at the prospect and thought of what the officers and soldiers said, and his face suddenly turned pale, and he trembled at the corners of his mouth to show a very ugly smile, and defended himself stubbornly: "Official...... Official, the slave family really didn't lie to you! I was still here! ”

Seeing that the opportunity for meritorious service was lost, the leading officers and soldiers viciously gouged out the old bustard's eyes, gritted their back molars, and spit out one word: "Chase!" ”

Looking out from the second floor of the flower building, you can see the dried colored brocade cloth.

It turned out that this was a dyeing and weaving workshop adjacent to the flower building.

Under the brocade cloth to dry, Inep, a Guran from the Western Regions, was standing with his hands in his hands.

Behind him was the titular owner of the dyeing and weaving mill, a Guran spy who had the appearance of a man from the Western Dynasty, a mutineer.

"Lord Inep, please forgive your subordinates! Cheng Ji, as a spy we planted in the Western Dynasty, knows very well how many of our strongholds in Tokyo City and where they are, and now that he has been arrested, it is simply a catastrophe for us, according to the humble opinion of his subordinates, in order not to expose the stronghold, this person must not stay, we must find a way to get rid of it as soon as possible, and never suffer from future troubles! ”

Inep turned his back to him, and immediately thought of the living weapon in his mind as soon as he finished speaking.

A smile of unknown meaning appeared in the beautiful thrilling face: "I have my own opinions on this matter!" Have you investigated the things you investigated? ”

The man behind him pondered for a moment and replied respectfully: "Check it out!" Although it took a lot of means, but fortunately, in the end he bought a small medical officer in the palace of the Western Dynasty, this person is the little apprentice of the doctor surnamed Yin of the Imperial Medical Department of the Western Dynasty, according to him, he once inadvertently heard about Han Guifei's pregnancy when the silver doctor diagnosed the pulse of Han Guifei, at that time Han Guifei entered the palace for only two months, but she was pregnant for three months, and the discerning person knew at a glance that the child was not the emperor's. Later, Han Guifei died under the imperial tower, although the emperor of the Western Dynasty claimed that he died of illness, but as long as he learned some medical skills, he could see that Han Guifei jumped off the building and died, and there was probably only one reason why she went to the extreme, that is, the child in her womb. ”

"Oh?"

Thinking of a news that I accidentally heard from a subordinate in Han Taicheng's mansion in the restaurant some time ago, the maid was sad about the death of her master, and talked about the wanted portrait in the city, and sighed that the woman on the portrait was very good with her master, and now the master is dead, but the portrait woman is wanted all over the city, and she can't even go to see her master.

Thinking of this, Inep's smile deepened: "Interesting......"

After pondering for a moment, he said lightly to the man behind him: "I know everything you said, let's step back first!" ”

The man complied, clenched his fists and retreated.

Inep stared thoughtfully at the colorful weaving fluttering in the sky.

At this moment, the woman lost control and jumped out of control from the window on the second floor of the flower building, and landed on the colorful weaving to print a delicate figure.

Inep was shocked.

I tried to get out of the way, but it happened too fast.

He didn't have a chance to dodge at all, and the colored weaving with the woman's figure printed on his head pressed down in a downward trend.

Instinctively, Inep reached out to block it.

But this time, there was suddenly one more person in his arms.

The impact of the fall was very domineering, and even a tall and strong man like Inep couldn't control it and bent over slightly.

Silk cloth fluttered in the sky.

The person in his arms gradually revealed his true face, and a smart and beautiful woman's face appeared behind the silk cloth with a stunned stunned face.

It turned out to be her!

Inep was shaken and fell into a great consternation.

Ye Lingyi, who was caught, came back to his senses for a long time, and saw the face of a Western man, with blond hair and blue eyes, skin as white as snow, the bridge of his nose as high as a shave, and his cherry lips were as thin as tailored, as if he had come out of a Western mural, and his beauty was out of place in this era, especially when he looked at her fixedly, those blue eyes seemed to be able to hook away people's souls.
